Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

After Cheng Mu walked away, Yun Wu said cautiously, "Aniang, look at Cheng Mu's expression just now, does it mean that the carriage we chose is not good?"

Mrs. Yunsun immediately reprimanded, "I can be wrong in choosing, he is jealous of us, the carriage chosen by Auntie will definitely run fast."

Yun Yun bought a pot and flint from the town, and bought a lot of marinated meat. The chickens at home were sold and only two were left to eat on the road.Cheng Mu couldn't come back until tomorrow, so he packed up his things and put them in the bag first, and then packed them together when Cheng Mu came back.

There are still more than 20 taels of silver in the cabinet. All the money for this year’s grain sales is here, and I don’t know if it is enough. It is said that after the exam is over, the rankings will be released in October. If you pass the exam, you have to go straight to the capital. You can’t even go home. Don't even think about it.

After Cheng Mu came back, the two began to discuss specific matters. Cheng Mu opened up the money in the cabinet and took out three taels of silver for emergencies. He divided the remaining 23 taels into two different bags. .

"There must be bandits robbing on the road. With so many students passing by every year, those who took the opportunity to rob must have been waiting on the road. We have to go ahead and prepare."

"Since so many coachmen pass by the road, they don't mention it at all, which shows that they are already used to it, and maybe they are colluding with the robbers to frame money. Those guests are already on the road, and they are neither advancing nor retreating. , can only use money to eliminate disasters." Yun Yun speculated.

"Yes, so we must put our money away and only take out a small amount of money to show that we have no money."

"Then where are you going to put your money?"

"On the beam next to the wheel, there is just a gap there. Make a shadow box and put it in it. You can't see it unless the carriage is overturned."

Yun Yun once again admired Cheng Mu's wit. Ordinary people carry money on their body or in the carriage, who would have thought that the money was outside the carriage.

"Also, let's make a cassette by ourselves and put the most money in it. I secretly nailed the cassette to the roof of the carriage. The box is made flat."

"This is to guard against the coachman."

"Yes, if he colludes with the thieves, we will only lose the small head, and the big head is still in our hands."

Most people would never think of this method, Yun Yun once again admired Cheng Mu, he always has many ways to avoid danger.

After packing up everything and locking the door of the house, Cheng Mu first went to Li Fu's house and gave him the key to the door, and asked him to come and take care of it from time to time. They didn't know when they would come back after leaving.It was appropriate for Li Fu to come to help them clean up the yard. Widow Li just happened to have a daughter, and Cheng Mu brought money as a full moon gift for the child.He also made plans for the land at home. If he didn't come back when the crops should be harvested, he asked Li Fu to help harvest the crops and sow the seeds. The money was split half and half.

Said it was a temporary walk, when he left the village, Yun Yun kept looking at his home in the distance, he always felt that this walk would take a long time.

"What are you thinking about?"

"It might be a long time before we come back next time."

"It will be better to explain it after a long time. If you go to the capital to take the exam, I will accompany you there. And the farther you go on this road, the more you will see and understand."

"Actually, I don't have any big ambitions. If I can be selected to be a small official in the county government, I will be satisfied."

When they arrived in the town, they hired a car casually to the county seat, and the two came to his house according to the place Niu Dazhuang left last time.Niu Dazhuang was eating a big bowl of noodles, and he was sweating profusely in the hot summer.

Seeing Cheng Mulai, he quickly put down his chopsticks and wiped the sweat off his face with a sweat towel, "Brother, I just had dinner, when are you going to leave?"

"When is it convenient for you to leave?"

"It's getting late tonight. Tomorrow morning, I heard that there are a group of people going to the provincial capital. If we don't go with them, it will be safe if there are many people."

"Okay, let's go to the hotel first."

Niu Dazhuang saw that these two people were carrying things on their backs and their hands were not idle, and it would cost money to go to the inn again, so he said, "You don't want to live in my house. I am the only one with three rooms in my house. The two of you It happens to be a room for one person, and it saves wasted money.”

This Niu Dazhuang looked to be about 20 years old, and he was honest, and Cheng Mu didn't refuse. They went to the provincial capital to spend more money, and now they can spend as much as they can.

After Niu Dazhuang tidied up the two rooms in his house, he was about to call them, when Cheng Mu took Yun Yun to one of them.He hurried forward and said, "Brother, there are two rooms here, you don't have to squeeze into one room."

Cheng Mu didn't speak, just smiled at him, and still led Yun Yun's hand into a room.Niu Dazhuang stood outside the house for a while, patted his head and suddenly understood that these two people were a couple. Many rich families in the county had male concubines, and those male concubines were often talked about after dinner.These two should not be concubines, but should be husband and wife.

The slightly shorter one looks like a scholar, the two of them should go to the provincial capital to catch up for the exam.Niu Dazhuang thought about putting a new quilt in the carriage tomorrow, so that they would feel better in the carriage.

At dawn the next day, the cow got up to feed the horse, and when he went to the yard, he saw Cheng Mu holding a bun in his hand.

"I bought buns, let's eat together, let's go after eating."

"Thank you then. I'll prepare the carriage first. Your... your wife can let him prepare it too."

This sentence obviously narrowed the distance between the two of them, Cheng Mu put the bun on the table and went into the room to call Yun Yun.Yun Yun has already gotten up and is packing the things in the house.

Niu Dazhuang pulled the carriage out, and he also had to go into the house to pack his things. Seeing that he couldn't get out for a while, Cheng Mu turned over to the roof of the carriage, and nailed the shadow box to the top of the carriage. come out.

When Niu Dazhuang was about to come out, Cheng Mu just got off the carriage.After packing everything up and getting into the car, Niu Dazhuang started to drive to the place where the carriages gathered.

The other drivers were all in front of a rice shop, and many people were buying rice. Yun Yun and the others brought a big bag of rice and noodles from their home, so there was no need to buy any more.After Niu Dazhuang parked the carriage, he went to the front and asked when the convoy would leave.

Knowing that there is still another hour, Yun Yun is fine sitting in the carriage, got out of the carriage and stood under the willow tree outside, and saw Yun Sun and Yun Wu walking towards here not far away.

"Let's ignore them." Yun Yun said.

"Well, go and sit over there."

It was natural for the two of them to avoid it. Seeing Cheng Mu and Yun Yun's burly figures, Yunsun said, "We have to follow them. If there is an accident on the road, they will definitely not let us die."

There were a total of eight carriages in the convoy, and they lined up to move forward.Cheng Mu chose to be in the third place, with a wide view in front, and it was convenient to encounter anything. Yunsun felt that he should not be too far away from Cheng Mu, so Cheng Mu did not protect them, so he followed them directly in the fourth place.
