Traveling through the barren years, I have a system and am not afraid of anything

"She is not my maid, she is my grandniece!"

Tian Maosheng's face looked bad. Which of their eyes could tell that Tian Cuihua belonged to the maid?

"I wonder if Brother Tian's grandniece can be maids? We'll pay a high price to hire them!"

If they could get such a powerful maid, what would they have to fear in the future?

"No, the girls from my Tian family are not slaves, let alone maids!"

Not to mention that the Tian family's conditions are better now, even if they can't eat, the Tian family's daughter will not work as a maid for others.

"We have extra money!"

The opportunity is rare and no one wants to give up.

"Silver? Do you know what Brother Tian's family does? Not only does he have a princess, but he also has two imperial envoys. The family's papermaking business even reached Prince Fu's Mansion. He is not short of money!"

Along the way, the young general has become brothers with Tian Maosheng.

"Brother Tian's family makes paper?"

The scholars never expected it.

Cao Xiucai always called Tian Maosheng a mud-legged person, so all of them thought that Tian Maosheng was a mud-legged person. But now that they have been together for a long time, they discovered that the real country bumpkin is themselves.

"We have a small, useless factory at home, not worth mentioning!"

Tian Maosheng is not proud. He has always been very low-key. As long as others don't mess with him, he is a gentle and handsome young man.

From then on, all the talented people in the north circled around Tian Maosheng, not for anything else but for the Tian family's paper.

The scholars thought they were noble and would not take up the idea of ​​Tian's papermaking technology, but they all wanted to buy some cheap paper.

"Our father said that even if we all pass the exam, we won't be allowed to become officials. I don't think I'm qualified to be an official!"

Seeing Tian Maosheng dealing with He Xiucai every day, Yuan Bao and others couldn't help but feel numb.

Approaching the capital, their team finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The general said it will be there in a hundred miles, and we will be safe!"

"It's been almost three months and it's finally almost here!"

In the past three months, the scholarly spirit among the scholars has faded a lot.

"Should we run to the capital in one go after a hundred miles of journey, or should we take a rest before leaving?"

Now the scholars all obey the orders of the young general, leaving as soon as they are allowed and stopping as soon as they are allowed.

"Let's go! It's still early in the morning. Let's hurry up and we'll definitely reach the capital before dark!"

The young general was a little anxious.

He was so tired from walking all the way, and he couldn't wait to get rid of this burden.

"General Li, should we rest here for a while before leaving?"

This place is less than a hundred miles away from the capital, and there are many villages around it. It is easy to stay overnight. The situation is unknown if you go further. If something happens, you may not even be able to find a place to stay.

"Brother Tian, ​​why are you so cautious? We are about to arrive in the capital, what can happen?"

The young general simply hit his horse and ran away.

They had walked this road more than once, and there was an endless plain in front of them. He didn't believe that there would be robbers in the clear sky in broad daylight.

"What should we do? Shall we go?"

Some scholars looked at Tian Maosheng hesitantly.

"Let's go, all the guarding soldiers have left, there's nothing we can do even if we don't leave!"

Tian Maosheng always felt uneasy, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he finally got on the bullock cart and ran towards the capital with the large team of horses and carts.

Cracking thunder and lightning struck the plain.

"It's really unlucky. We're about to reach the capital. How could we encounter such horrible weather?"

The young general wiped the rain off his face angrily.

Now there is really no village, no shop, not even a place to shelter from the rain.

"Should!"

"Make them disobedient!"

Dahu leaned comfortably on the bullock cart and watched the excitement.

"Although Daliang is old, he does a really good job. The bullock cart actually doesn't leak. He's amazing!"

Tian Maosheng touched his own oxcart and couldn't put it down.

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier, Brother Tian, ​​please think of a way quickly!"

The young general was really at his wits end and had to come to ask Tian Maosheng for advice.

Everyone in the Tian family was hiding in the bullock cart. When they heard the young general's voice, Tian Maosheng's head came out of the car window.

"There's nothing I can do about the heavy rain!"

Tian Maosheng really had no choice. Their bullock cart could not hold too many people.

"Why don't we stop here and wait for the rain to subside before we go?"

At worst, I'll arrive in Beijing later. There must be a village near the capital.

"Brother Tian doesn't know. If the rain keeps falling, everyone might get cold. Why don't we just keep running to the capital!"

"This~"

Tian Maosheng disagrees.

"let's go!"

The scholars at the back were all so anxious that they could not wait to run to the capital.

The dangers of walking in the rain can be imagined.

Along the way, I either got stuck in the mud or the horse refused to move.

After stumbling along, it was already midnight, but we didn’t encounter a single village, and the heavy rain didn’t get any lighter.

"There won't be floods if this continues, right?"

Looking at the lightning and thunder outside the car window, Dahu suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"No way? We just experienced a flood last year. Will it happen again this year?"

Yuan Bao and others were deeply affected by the flood. Now the water was almost covering the wheels of the car, and their hearts were all clenched nervously.

"It's all that General Li's fault. If it hadn't been for him, we would have been able to escape this rain!"

Tian San and Tian Cuihua had all their abilities, but they couldn't cope with the sudden heavy rain and couldn't help but complain.

"Our ox-cart can still drive now. Look at their horse-drawn carriages. How pitiful they are!"

The horses all walked forward in a panic, slipping every step. Tian Maosheng didn't feel sorry for the people on the carriage, but he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the horses.

"Hurry up, there is a village ahead, hurry into the village to take shelter from the rain!"

The men sent out by the young general to explore the road stumbled back, shouting as they ran.

"quick!"

The young general rushed over first, followed by all the coachmen behind him, for fear of being left alone.

Fortunately, the people in the village were kind and not only allowed them to enter the village, but also served them steaming ginger soup.

"Quick, drink it to keep away the cold!"

I heard that this was a group of scholars who came to Beijing to take the provincial examination, and the village chief was extremely enthusiastic.

"Other places are taking part in the examinations in Fucheng, but the scholars from the north have to rush to the capital. This~"

After settling in, some people began to complain.

"Don't discuss some things in private!"

The young general's face was gloomy. He knew what was going on here better than anyone else, but he couldn't say anything.

The Northland has not participated in the examination for many years. If His Majesty had not personally issued the order this time, their prince would not have allowed the scholars from the Northland to take risks.

He didn't know how much of the dangers along the way were man-made, but he knew that there were people who didn't want Northland to produce a successful candidate, let alone the top three in Northland.

Being forced to participate in the examination this time, it is still unknown whether some people are going to consume the talents of the Northland.
