Happiness System
Chapter 19: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (8)
Mu Jingheng brought back a piece of news after attending the banquet: the students sent by Qingteng in the past two years were of too "poor quality", so today they confiscated two places and only admitted the top three!
This is a bit far-fetched! But only the top management knows what is going on.
Mu Jingheng happened to be ranked third, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or worried. With this incident, he was afraid that his days in the provincial school would not be easy.
Qin Yunxi, who was originally excited to go to the provincial capital, felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her. She began to doubt whether going to the provincial capital was the best choice.
"Madam, do you know that Qinghe Academy and even the entire Qingteng Academy are not satisfactory? This year, only sixteen people in the entire Qingteng passed the examination to become scholars! Although the poor qualifications of the top five sent by Qingteng are an excuse, it is not entirely false!" Although Mu Jingheng was half drunk, his mind was very clear.
"How could that be? I think the books at home are not of inferior quality." The books at home all look very good and comprehensive, they look like masterpieces!
Mu Jingheng shook his head and said with a somewhat depressed look: "My grandfather spent most of his fortune to ask someone to bring back these books from outside." His grandfather said that books are more valuable than gold, and for a man, reading more books is like traveling thousands of miles.
Seeing this, Qin Yunxi leaned into his arms. It seemed that this place was even poorer than she thought!
Mu Jingheng spent most of his time studying at home. It was quite amazing that he could surpass those who had studied in the academy for more than ten years and get into the top three!
No wonder when the two got married, people only said that Mu Jingheng brought home a golden baby, but no one said that the original owner married down.
Even poor scholars are rare in this place!
What rare animal did she pick up?
The next day, Mu Jingheng sobered up, discussed with Qin Yunxi, and began to prepare for the trip to the provincial capital.
Mu Jingheng wrote a letter plus ten taels of silver and asked a messenger to deliver it to the patriarch of the Qinghe Mu family, explaining the reason and asking him to simply repair the ancestral hall and offer sacrifices to his ancestors on his behalf.
In addition, he also has to find a large carriage inn to book a car to go to the provincial capital, and also handle external liaison work such as the handover of the current house.
Yinbao and Mudaner were responsible for packing up the belongings.
Qin Yunxi said, just take care of yourself and don't make any trouble!
It normally takes three days to get to the provincial capital, and there are still seven days left before the final registration deadline given by the provincial school. They have to prepare two more days to avoid any accidents when traveling. However, they also have to find a place to live and Mudaner's enlightenment school.
When you calculate it, the time is very tight!
Mu Jingheng finished his work in the morning and directly booked a carriage for the next day. In the afternoon, he helped pack the remaining things in the house.
The main thing is that the money is in place, so they went out more efficiently this time than last time!
After moving all the things onto the carriage early in the morning, Mu Jingheng and the middleman walked around inside. After the middleman inspected the house and handed over the keys, the handover of the house was completed.
As soon as Mu Jingheng got on the carriage, the driver closed the door and cracked the whip in one go. He had to hurry because he was in a hurry!
This time he was lucky, as a caravan heading to the provincial capital passed by Qingteng. When renting a car, the owner of the coach shop mentioned it, and Mu Jingheng was of course extremely happy!
If he were traveling alone, he would definitely carpool, but since he has his lovely wife by his side, of course it's safer with more people!
The caravan has a lot of guards, which is much safer than traveling alone, and this is a caravan with a very good reputation!
However, if you want to travel with the caravan, you need to pay a certain amount of protection fee, and your schedule must also be consistent with theirs.
This is an unspoken rule in the industry. It is a small amount of income that the business company tacitly gives to the guards. Of course, a small portion of it needs to be handed over.
Of course, you can also choose not to pay and follow behind, but people will not take you into their protection circle. If you really encounter something, they won’t even look at you!
Don't talk about brotherhood or lending a hand. They are just like the gangsters out there. They have seen everything!
Moral kidnapping doesn’t work on them!
The safety factor of a caravan and an escort agency is actually the same. Generally, large businesses have their own guards, while small businesses hire escort agencies...
I'm getting off topic! The real reason for being in a hurry is that we need to meet up with the caravan at the city gate. If you're late, they won't wait for you. The money has already been paid!
Even if I can't catch up, it will be a waste of the employer's money. I'm not a car dealer, but I'm not a fool. How could I not know that it's safer to follow the caravan?
Not every employer is willing to spend this money!
Fortunately, Mu Jingheng was a person with a very good sense of time, and a group of people arrived at the meeting place early.
There were a few miscellaneous carriages mixed in with the caravan's distinctive carriage markings, presumably they were groups of people seeking shelter along the way like them.
The driver followed the instructions of the caravan and drove his car to merge into the "miscellaneous cars". After waiting for nearly half an hour, two more carriages merged in. Then the manager of the caravan looked at the sky, made a gesture, and someone shouted to set off.
The convoy moved slowly and orderly forward. Yinbao and Mudaner soon became unable to sit still. They quietly opened the windows and looked out. Seeing that their sister and brother-in-law did not react, they tentatively opened the windows wider and wider.
Finally, the window was fully opened, and the two brothers stuck their heads out and started playing happily.
The temperature rose sharply during this period. Although the morning wind was a little chilly, it also blew away a lot of boredom.
The temperature was suitable, so Mu Jingheng did not stop them. It would be better to open the window. The journey was long and boring, so he could let his wife enjoy the scenery to pass the time.
"Madam? Are you feeling unwell?" Although Mu Jingheng had been holding a book, he would occasionally pay attention to Qin Yunxi's expression. When he saw her face suddenly turn pale, his heart tightened. He quickly put the book aside and reached out to touch her forehead.
"Don't worry, Jingheng, maybe he's just a little carsick, it's okay." Qin Yunxi never thought that she, who never got carsick from any kind of transportation, would get carsick from a horse carriage!
Before she was sick, I thought it was because she couldn't stand the stress of being sick. During this period, her body was in good condition. Now that there was a problem, the only reason left was motion sickness.
So helpless!
"Then can the lady lie down for a while?" Mu Jingheng frowned worriedly. They had only walked for less than half a day. If she continued like this, she might ruin her newly recovered body. But as time was tight, it was not right to leave the team and slow down.
"Well, then I'll get some sleep, maybe I'll feel better later." Qin Yunxi reached out and touched his brow lightly, thinking that fortunately the dizziness was not too serious. She had seen people vomiting due to motion sickness before. Fortunately!
Mu Jingheng forced a smile, pushed Yinbao and Mudaner to the corner, squeezed out a spot for her and made a "bed" for her to lie down on.
Even though they were already very frugal, Qing Teng still had a lot more belongings after living there for a month, so the space in the carriage was much narrower than the last time they went out. Fortunately, Qin Yunxi was also thin, so it was okay.
Yinbao and Mudaner didn't dare to say anything after seeing this, and their brother-in-law didn't let them get close to their sister who was resting. The two of them huddled in a corner feeling aggrieved, not knowing whether they were looking at the scenery outside the window or in a daze.
Qin Yunxi felt a little better after she lay down, but soon after the carriage got on the official road and left the area of Qingteng, the road became even bumpier!
This is so dog-like!
"Are you feeling unwell, madam? Yanchuan County is mostly mountainous and sparsely populated, and it is poorer than Qingteng, so the road management is a bit inadequate and unsatisfactory." Mu Jingheng saw that Qin Yunxi frowned and her face looked even worse, and he became even more worried.
"How long does it take to get to Yanchuan?" Qin Yunxi had been in a half-asleep and half-awake state since she lay down. She felt uncomfortable all over after being tossed around. She couldn't fall asleep anymore!
"The route we take only passes through the edge of Yanchuan and does not cross it, so we should be able to reach Yuanling County before dark. My lady, hold on a little. Yanchuan is not very peaceful. When we reach Yuanling, we will leave the caravan and rest for a while." Mu Jingheng picked her up and held her in his arms.
Qin Yunxi found a comfortable position in his arms before saying, "Let's talk about it after we get out of Yanchuan. We don't know what will happen on this journey!"
She also thought it through. Fucheng College is not the only school, and physical health is the most important thing. If he can't catch up, she can just let him go to other schools!
It is just a tuition discount for recommended places, while it costs a lot to find a "famous school" on your own.
The two are like the comparison between public schools that are so cheap that tuition is almost free and private schools that charge high tuition for the nobility. Moreover, public schools also provide work-study programs to help you solve your food and clothing problems!
If they choose other schools, their quality of life will be greatly reduced, just like high-paid white-collar workers who could have been free and easy, but suddenly someone tells you that you are a mother and you have to put family first and raise your children well, and then you have to spend a huge amount of money to send your naughty children to a prestigious school...
It makes me sad just thinking about it!
Of course, she is not the mother, and Mu Jingheng is not a naughty child. Although he is still poor and relies on his wife for support, he is already the dream man in the eyes of many people!
For example, that noisy rookie system wanted to turn into a physical woman and pounce on Mu Jingheng...
Right, what about the noob system?
Oh, so she was put in a dark room! No wonder she was so quiet!
Qin Yunxi released the small system and immediately drove it out to explore the road. Didn't they say that this road was not very safe? He was afraid that something might happen...
The garbage system is finally useful!
In order to avoid staying in the small dark room, the small system in cloud state could only float out miserably.
Bad host, he doesn't let people say a word!
The good ones don’t work, but the bad ones do. I guess I didn’t choose the right day to go out. The small system soon showed its “usefulness”.
"Jingheng, have you taken all the money in our family with you? What about the remaining embroidery pieces? Can you find them and take them with you?" Qin Yunxi stroked his forehead weakly.
Bah, you have a bad mouth!
"It's on you. Madam, do you need money? The embroidery is in the small bag next to you." Mu Jingheng took out the purse and handed it to her with a puzzled look on his face.
"Here, hide it quickly. If you get lost, remember to find Fucheng College! Jingheng, hide the things quickly!" Qin Yunxi had a serious face. He quickly took the purse and took out two small pieces of silver to give to Yinbao and Mudaner, then stuffed the purse and the small bag into Mu Jingheng's arms.
Mu Jingheng was stunned for a moment when he saw that her face looked strange, but his intuition made him act quickly according to her instructions.
Seeing this, Yinbao and Mudaner quickly hid the silver on their bodies.
