Chapter 348 I, Jiang Xiaoqi, have also started selling tickets!
After finishing their meal, Jiang Changfeng and Jiang Changgeng wanted to chat with Landlord Jiang.
They were all driven back to the guest house to rest by Landlord Jiang: "We've already arrived in the capital, there's plenty of time, no need to rush!"
We're all old bones, you're not tired, but I am! Go back and rest!
"Wait for my day off, then we'll have plenty of time to chat!"
Landlord Jiang was more than ten years older than the two of them, so they naturally had to listen to him.
After all, there's a proper order of seniority.
They also need to set an example for the younger generation...
Silent all night.
The next morning, Landlord Jiang left early again to rush to roll call.
The younger members of the Jiang family ate breakfast with their elders that morning, exchanged greetings, and then headed to the study.
At first, Jiang Wenhai, Wenhao, Wenhan and others didn't think anything of it. The younger generation knew that they were working hard and not slacking off, so they didn't need to remind them, which was great.
But when lunchtime arrived and there were still few people around, Jiang Changfeng and Jiang Changgeng became restless.
Even if they're working hard, they can't miss out on meals. In their eyes, they're all children who are still growing.
You shouldn't overwork your body when you're young. If you don't rest now, your body will pay the price when you get old.
"Hey? Isn't Mingfei here? Ask him what's going on?"
Are you expecting us old folks to wait for them, the younger ones? What kind of behavior is this?
Jiang Changfeng didn't think the Jiang family members were so ill-mannered, which is why he sent Jiang Wenhai to take a look.
However, before she even left, Jiang Xiaoqi went to the dining room first.
The Chiang family always ate three meals a day, unlike poor people who ate only two meals a day to save food.
"Mingfei, you've come at the right time. What are Alin and Ahao doing? Are they still reading?"
"What time is it? Aren't you hungry?"
When Jiang Xiaoqi saw that all the elders had arrived, she immediately realized that those troublesome kids must still be in the study.
Jiang Xiaoqi instructed Wenbin, Li Mo, A Niu, and Wangchuan to keep an eye on the study and call people for meals when it was time. These four couldn't all slack off and skip work at the same time, could they?
"Uncle Haitang, don't worry. He probably lost track of time while reading. I'll have Butler Wen go and call him again."
"Go ahead! There are so many books to read. We're all always reading, but we still have to eat."
"Health is the foundation for passing the imperial examinations; you can't afford to overdraw it!"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wenhai decided to go with Butler Wen. He wanted to see what kind of book was so attractive.
Jiang Wenhai followed Butler Wen to the outside of the study, and before even entering, he could hear arguing coming from inside.
It was Wenbin and the others who were urging people to eat when they heard Jiang Lin or Jiang Yan say to a few servants, "Wait a moment, just a moment."
Jiang Wenhai pushed the door open and entered, shouting, "Stop! What kind of behavior is this, keeping our elders waiting like this?!"
Jiang Wenhai frowned and scolded, then his eyes fell upon four red ribbons fluttering before him. Looking up again, he saw the other end of the ribbons tied to the roof beam.
The other end was tied to the hair of the four people, which was rather comical.
A long table, over twenty feet long, lay across the study, with ten chairs placed on either side.
Four are currently occupied, leaving six empty.
Behind one of the chairs is a wall of books that extends to the ceiling, and there are two more such walls on the left and right sides.
Except for the lack of bookshelves on the side near the study door, the study is quite well-organized.
Jiang Wenqing's first thought was that if this caught fire, the losses would be devastating!
Ah bah bah!
What are you talking about?!
No, no, let's start over.
If I read through all the books in this study, won't I have a better chance of passing the exam?
Jiang Wenhan understood somewhat, but he still resisted the urge to sit down with them and forcibly dragged the younger generation to the dining room.
Of course, he couldn't carry it all by himself; it was Wenbin, Li Mo, and A Niu who helped.
When everyone arrived at the dining hall, they were inevitably lectured by Jiang Changfeng and Jiang Changgeng.
The group had long since become as thick-skinned as meat; they used to blush, but now they didn't blush at all.
Jiang Wenhai couldn't help but tell the others about the study he had just seen.
This also piqued the interest of the others. So many books! How many years must it have taken to collect them?!
Even the clan school within the Chiang family probably didn't have that many books.
So I decided to eat quickly, and after I finished eating, I would go and take a look.
They also need to prepare for the imperial examinations. How can we let the younger generation work hard on their own and leave the old folks aside?
Since there's such a huge collection of books, why not have a few more of them join in the fun?
Aren't there still several empty chairs? They must have been specially prepared for them, but someone just forgot to mention it, wanting the older folks to rest for a few more days.
That won't do. Taking a few days off would be a waste of time. Time is money, and money can't buy time.
If not now, when?
After finishing their meal quickly, everyone rushed to the study.
Upon entering the study, my eyes lit up as I gazed at the three walls of books.
After finding empty seats, they realized they were missing two chairs.
"Ahem, Wenhai, do you know about respecting the elderly and caring for the young?"
We're slow on our feet, so you took all the chairs. Is that right? Huh?
Ichiban Xiaozhi moved with emotion and reason...
The brothers Jiang Wenhai and Jiang Wenhao gave up their chairs.
"Hey, let's go find Mingfei. There are still empty seats at both ends. Let's put a chair at each end, that'll be perfect!"
"Let's go! Let's go together!"
Seeing that the ten people in the study were completely oblivious to what was happening outside, Jiang Wenqing took his second brother and went out.
Jiang Xiaoqi is chatting with the system.
Thinking that his family now had twelve members, including himself, who were waiting to take the imperial examinations, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Even if you only pass half of the exams, it's still a very promising income.
Although he no longer cares much about these things now that he's lending money based on points, who would complain about having more income?
The more principal he has in his points, the more interest he receives from the points bank each month, and his wealth grows like a snowball.
The system's voice was also extremely cheerful; you could feel it from its brainwaves—the other party was overjoyed.
The one-man-one-unification system is calculating what to buy with the points and interest. It also wants to save up enough points to upgrade itself again. If it upgrades again, it might evolve into a physical entity.
Of course, the odds are uncertain, a bit like opening blind boxes in later times; you might get something inside, or you might only get a note that says "Thank you for your patronage."
The knocking interrupted Jiang Xiaoqi's monologue, and she sat up on the daybed.
"Add chairs?"
Jiang Xiaoqi didn't expect that the study would be filled up before she even had a chance to show the elders around.
Some people are complaining about not having enough seats, haha, so Jiang Xiaoqi can sell standing tickets now?
"Cough cough, add it! We absolutely must add it!"
