    Several people took turns driving the car, discussing knowledge along the way, and Jin Yu told some anecdotes he knew, which was not boring.

    Passing through half of Langzhou and then across the entire Yongzhou, I occasionally saw some customs and customs in other places, and from time to time I met the same candidates from Jin'an.

    The three of them brought holly with them, so they were free from all worries.

    The candidates next to me always brought some banknotes or dry food to take the exam. Jinyu listened to Dongqing from the beginning and brought a big bag of rice and a lot of bacon and dried vegetables, plus a pot and a few sets of bowls and chopsticks.

    When it was almost time to eat, I found a flat area with water, picked up some dry firewood, and Dongqing set up a pot to cook on the spot.

    When there is no water source on the road, Dongqing will rest in a village. As long as there are people, it means there is water nearby, whether it is river, well water or Longtan water.

    From time to time, Dongqing went to ask for directions and received green vegetables from those kind-hearted villagers.

    After eating, several men took turns washing the dishes and tidying up, then packed up and continued on their way.

    The carriages always followed the official road. Except when it was dark and it was hard to see the road or the direction, and the horses had to rest and feed, they were on the road even at night.

    It took twenty-six days, and they spent the least money and the fewest days to get from Langzhou to the capital Jin'an.

    Yongzhou has fewer mountains and the terrain is flat. A hundred miles away, you can vaguely see the city wall of Jin'an standing.

    Yongzhou, where the capital is located, is not as prosperous as remote counties and towns, and the capital is even more meticulously built.

    The city wall is tall and made of polished bluestones of the same size. Glutinous rice is added as the binding material, which is the same material as the border defense city wall.

    Every gap seems to have been carefully outlined, looking neat and thick.

    Jin Yu sighed in her heart, the texture of bluestone is very hard. In this era without machines for cutting and polishing, how many skilled craftsmen had to work day and night to build such a beautiful and strong city wall?

    If the city walls outside the capital are like this, wouldn't the palace where the emperor lives be even more exquisite?

    Without thinking too much, the carriage had already arrived at the city gate. A guard in armor stopped him and asked why he was entering the city.

    This is the foot of the emperor, and the entrance and exit of the city gate are strictly guarded to prevent lawless people from causing trouble.

    When there is no big event, civilians come into the city just for routine inquiries and don¡¯t do anything special to attract attention.

    Nowadays, students from all over the country are coming to the city to take the exam. There are many faces from other places, so we need to investigate carefully.

    Li Yanqing and the other three presented their official documents and should have been released after inspection, but the guards' eyes were fixed on Dongqing.

    "Who is she? If she is a family member, she can be exempted from the need to show the relevant certificates."

    Li Yanqing and Chen Junran were worried. They were candidates who came to the capital to take the exam. They could leave their hometowns and hold official documents, so they didn't need a guide.

    But Dongqing is a member of the accompanying family and is beautiful. If Jinyu can't prove it, I'm afraid Dongqing will be left outside the city.

    They don¡¯t want Holly to be left outside the city.

    Jin Yu took out a piece of paper with an official seal from his baggage and handed it over.

    This is the piece of paper that County Magistrate Wang handed to Jin Yu when she went to the government to register for marriage that day.

    Jin Yu was once a modern person. She must remember to bring her ID card when going out, otherwise it will be difficult to move.

    Now that he has no ID card, he always feels uneasy before leaving, so he takes this disguised marriage certificate with him.

    The guard confirmed that it was correct, handed it back to Jin Yu, and walked aside to make way for Jin Yu's carriage to pass.

    I found a cheap apartment to stay, and after washing I lay down to recuperate.

    It is now the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, and there are still ten days left before the first exam. I must be energetic enough to take advantage of the last days to review the Four Books and Five Classics, and try my best to stay on the list.

    Lying on the bed and looking at the roof, Chen Junran felt like he was dreaming.

    Before setting off, in addition to the one hundred taels he had saved himself, he also took fifty taels from home to add to it, which was highly praised by several sisters-in-law.

    In his calculations, the journey took about a month, and the restaurants and accommodation along the way were not cheap. Even if he had the nerve to stay overnight in a village, he would have spent dozens of taels along the way.

    ¡°Furthermore, you have to stay in Jin¡¯an for at least half a year to catch up with the exam, and you will have to spend money during these six months. You will definitely not be able to support the appointment of an official for about 120 taels. If you are thinking about finding a job in Jin¡¯an, you can¡¯t just get in but not get out.

    This is still considered if he can pass the exam. If he fails, he will have to beg along the road to go home, or beg for a living in Jin'an and wait for another three years.

    ??Squeeze in.

    She stood on the stone pier at the back to give herself a better view, so she could see Jin Yu from the crowd at a glance.

    Although she couldn't hear the words, she saw that Jin Yu, Li Yanqing and others were talking with high spirits, so she thought he should bring her good news.

    Seeing Jin Yu turn around and come out, Dongqing immediately jumped down from the stone pier and pretended to look around at the scenery.

    Jinyu came to Dongqing and said with a smile: "Are you anxious? Guess whether I won or not."

    Dongqing raised her head and smiled treacherously, "I won't guess. You want to tell or not."

    Let¡¯s see who can¡¯t help it.

    ""

    Jinyu choked, why didn't he follow the routine?

    "I had no choice but to give in, "I won. I don't know if the other names except Huiyuan are ranked in order of merit. If so, my ranking is not low, in the fourth place."

    "I don't know much about this matter. It's even the first time I've seen Chunwei release the results."

    Dongqing asked again: "Where are Chen Junran and Li Yanqing? Have they been hit?"

    "They are still watching. I don't know. I will wait until they tell us in person."

    As he said that, Chen Junran and Li Yanqing squeezed out of the crowd.

    Jin Yu said to Dongqing: "It looks like he was successful, otherwise Chen Junran wouldn't look like this. He can't hide it. The success or failure is all written on his face."

    "That's good." Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief. Now, the village chief should feel relieved.

    Chen Junran came to Jin Yu happily, "Brother Quan, I won, I really won, and so did Yan Qing! Fortunately, more than 300 people were admitted this year, otherwise I would not have been able to stay on the list."

    Jinyu smiled and shook her head, "I know."

    He studied the national conditions some time ago and learned that the number of people admitted to the imperial examinations in the past few times was relatively small. In the next two years, many county magistrates and county magistrates were filled by candidates. This year, there should be relatively more people.

    Chen Junran and Li Yanqing were both stunned, "You know? Didn't you say you didn't read it?"

    "I really didn't look. Let's go. I want to pour cold water on you. The palace examination is on March 12th. I don't know if you are ready to face the Holy Face."

    Chen Junran really withered away as if he had been splashed with cold water. Why is it so difficult to catch up with Jin Yu?

    Dongqing rolled her eyes at Jin Yu. Chen Junran finally relaxed a little, but Jin Yu insisted on poking him immediately.

    Jinyu sighed, he was just joking.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
