Chapter 234 Do you want to be an official?

At the gate of the Jiang family, Minister Jiang had just gotten off his carriage when he saw his daughter's carriage slowly approaching.

He stopped and stood there, watching the carriage drive up to him and stop.

Qingming opened the door and put down the footrest. Qingzhi was the first to get off the carriage carrying a basket, followed by Jiang Yueyang, who looked lazy.

Jiang Yueyang saw her father as soon as she opened her eyelids. She raised her hand and said, "Dad, what a coincidence."

Minister Jiang was speechless. He was leaving the office and was at his doorstep. You tell me it was a coincidence?

"Where did you go to get mad? You're back now."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, "Dad, how can you say that about your precious daughter? I can be very dedicated too."

Minister Jiang was slightly surprised. "Have you been working in the palace?"

"Hmm." Jiang Yueyang raised her chin proudly.

Hearing that she had indeed worked in the palace for a day, Minister Jiang couldn't help but look up at the sky.

"I was in such a hurry this morning that I didn't even notice the sun rises in the west." Minister Jiang shook his head with regret. "I missed out on a great historical spectacle."

Jiang Yueyang: "..."

The system chuckled, "Host, your father's words have a way of making people mad. You probably inherited your sarcastic eloquence from him."

"Dad!" Jiang Yueyang stomped her feet angrily.

"You still have the energy to be angry. It seems you're not hungry." Minister Jiang took the lead and walked home. "But your father is starving."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yueyang's stomach growled twice in protest.

She quickly followed him, "Dad, what are we having for dinner today? Do you have sweet and sour pork with pineapple and grilled lamb chops?"

Since she went to Luoyang, she could eat fruits without restraint, and finally she could eat her favorite pineapple sweet and sour pork.

Unfortunately, the chef at home hadn’t been very successful the last few times, and she wasn’t very keen on cooking.

However, the taste is still just okay.

"I don't know. I'm not a greedy girl like you who only thinks about eating every day."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang snorted at him, "In that case, then don't eat later."

"That won't do. Delicious food can't be wasted."

"I won't let you down. I'll eat them all."

"You can get fat as hell, I want to eat six pieces."

"Not a single one."

"Confucius said: 'Food and sex are human nature. Eating is a major event in life, how can you monopolize it?'"

Jiang Yueyang chuckled, "Dad, did Confucius ever say this? How come I don't know it?"

"How do you know if you haven't even learned it?"

“…” The father and daughter bickered all the way into the house.

Jiang Yueyang did not go back directly to her own Lanyue Pavilion, but went to her brother's Shuiyunjian first.

However, the servant in the courtyard told her that Jiang Xun was in her Lanyue Pavilion at that time.

Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Yueyang's eyes, and then he turned around and went back to his yard.

As soon as she walked to the corridor, Jiang Yueyang saw Jiang Xun and Ling Feng squatting in front of the flower bed looking at the ripe tomatoes.

This crop of tomatoes was planted in early September and is now in its ripening period.

Ling Feng is very good at planting, and one tomato plant has produced a lot of tomatoes.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yueyang looked at Ling Feng thoughtfully, while continuing to approach them.

Ling Feng opened his eyes slightly and heard footsteps behind him.

"Is it ripe?" Jiang Xun asked, pointing at a red tomato.

"Yes, sir."

"I wonder what it tastes like?"

Ling Feng also wanted to know, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "When the young lady comes back, you can ask her."

"Brother." Jiang Yueyang called out.

Jiang Xun turned around when he heard the voice and waved at her with a gentle smile, "Yangyang, come here quickly."

"Brother, don't you need to review your lessons?" Jiang Yueyang quickened her pace and walked over.

Jiang Xun habitually reached out to touch her head, but quickly realized that she was wearing an official hat, so he pinched her cheek instead.

"Relax properly." He then retracted his finger and pointed at the ripe tomato. "That thing is ripe. Can I have one, brother?"

"Of course." Jiang Yueyang looked at Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, please pick all the ripe tomatoes and wash them."

"promise."

Then, the brother and sister walked into the room together.

As soon as she sat down, Jiang Yueyang stared at Jiang Xun with a smile on her face. She didn't say anything, just looked at him.

Jiang Xun: “…”

Jiang Xun smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

"Brother still understands me."

Jiang Yueyang looked at Qingzhi beside her, and Qingzhi understood and put the basket in her hand in front of Jiang Xun.

"Brother, Kong Jijiu has assigned me a lot of work."

The system then interjected, "It's clearly the host's laziness that has left the backlog of work."

Jiang Yueyang ignored the system's words, stretched out her hand in front of Jiang Xun, and acted pitifully, "I've been writing all day today, and my hands are about to break. Look, my hands are now..."

"Get to the point." Jiang Xun gently interrupted her pity.

Jiang Yueyang immediately quickened his pace and said, "Kong Jijiu asked me to write a New Year's greeting card and draw on it, but I don't know how..."

Jiang Xun glanced at the post in the basket and asked, "You want me to help you draw?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Yueyang nodded heavily.

"Okay, I also want to help write the New Year's greeting cards."

"Brother, how come... Oh, Lord Pei said that there are students from the Imperial College who help with writing. So it was you, brother. That's right, your calligraphy and paintings are both excellent."

"Do you want me to write your congratulatory message?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.

"Kong Jijiu asked me to write because he thought my handwriting was good. If I asked you to do even this for him, he would definitely be angry."

At this time, Ling Feng brought over a plate of washed tomatoes.

Jiang Yueyang reached out and took two, handed one to Jiang Xun and took a bite.

Jiang Xun looked at the large tomato in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then took a bite.

It has a sweet and sour taste and a unique flavor.

After taking a few bites, Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows and gestured to Ling Feng and the others, "Don't just stand there, try it too."

Then, the four of them each took a tomato and started eating.

Jiang Yueyang asked, "Ling Feng, do you want to be an official?"

Ling Feng paused while eating, then looked at Jiang Yueyang with a puzzled look on his face.

Jiang Xun glanced at Ling Feng, then continued eating the tomato in his hand as if it had nothing to do with him.

"The court plans to try to grow several crops and fruits that have never appeared before. You are so talented in planting. I can recommend you to His Majesty to enter the Sinong Temple." Jiang Yueyang explained.

Xiangling's eyes lit up. Brother Lingfeng was going to be an official!

Ling Feng was slightly shocked. He really didn't expect Jiang Yueyang to say such a thing.

After a while.

"Young lady, please don't tease me. I have no achievements, so how can I possibly become an official?"

"Yes, the court is in urgent need of planting talents like you. As long as His Majesty sees your ability, he will definitely use you."

Ling Feng was silent.

"Think about it and tell me whether you are right or not."
