    After setting off from Yecheng, the carriage traveled smoothly for more than ten days. Early in the morning, it entered Xianghe City, which is about a hundred miles away from the capital.

    It was only after settling down at the official post in Xianghe City that Yan Huailang went out to do errands as usual.

    It was still early at this time. Yue Jiao was originally reading in the guest room, but he was unusually impatient.

    Although she doesn¡¯t have a good foundation in studying, she is a very focused person at heart, and she always learns something very quickly if she really wants to.  Thanks to Yan Huailang's guidance and Ji Xiangzhen's help along the way, many things that were previously vague finally became somewhat coherent in her mind.

    But the more you know, the more you feel you are ignorant.

    Seeing that he couldn¡¯t calm down anymore, Yue Jiao simply put down the book in his hand, wandered to the atrium of the official post office, sat sideways on the corridor and leaned against the pillars, lost in thought.

    There is a small rockery lake under the corridor, and a group of colorful little carp are densely gathered under her reflection in the lake. They are shaking their heads and swaying their tails, which is very cute.

    Ji Xiangzhen, who has always been restless, had already visited all the places where he could hang out in the official post. When he was bored, he raised his eyes and saw Yue Jiao sitting on the corridor, so he ran over happily.

    "I thought you could sit in your room with a book in your hands forever."

    In response, Yue Jiao raised her head and smiled at him, then turned her gaze back to stare at the little carps in the lake: "Come out and get some air."

    Ji Xiangzhen jumped onto the corridor, sat down next to her, and handed over a bag of melon seeds in his hand, "Hey, let me tell you, you look a little heavy these days. Are you worried?"

    Yue Jiao picked up a melon seed from the paper bag in his palm, put it in his mouth and chewed it: "Have you already seen that if I go to the examiner, I will not pass the exam at all?"

    "You" naturally refers to Ji Xiangzhen and Yan Huailang.

    Thanks to the two of them along the way, Yue Jiao finally had a preliminary understanding of Dajin's official system, and also had a rough idea of ??how difficult the Civil and Military Officer Examination every spring was.

    After half a month, Yue Jiao clearly realized that the "reading of books" that he was proud of before was really just reading.  If she wanted to compare knowledge in a real way, she couldn't even compare to Ji Xiangzhen, who was lazy and messing around every chance he got.

    Ji Xiangzhen said casually: "I don't know what Lord Yan is thinking, but I told you when I was in Yecheng, asking you to come with me to respond to the Supervision Department's orders. That is mainly a martial arts test. We, the children of Jianghu,  Are you still afraid of the martial arts test?"

    "You said that the 'main' thing is the martial arts test. It's not like there is no literary test." Yue Jiao threw the bitten, shapeless melon seed in his hand into the lake, and picked up another one from Ji Xiangzhen's hand.  "The Supervision Department is not a martial arts sect. Is it possible that it specializes in recruiting reckless people who only know how to fight and kill?"

    Even if the Supervision Department really planned to take down a bunch of Cao Mang who only knew how to "beat and kill", she was afraid that there would be no chance.  Because she can only "beat" and dare not "kill".

    Seeing that she was getting more and more depressed, Ji Xiangzhen said comfortingly while cracking melon seeds: "Didn't Master Yan just say it a few days ago? You have a good brain, you learn things quickly, and you are willing to work hard Why don't you pay this back?"  Two or three months? I¡¯m not afraid.¡±

    If these words had been said in the past, Yue Jiao would have really listened to them.

    "Even if you don't eat, drink or sleep, you only have two or three months left." Yue Jiao used her front teeth to bite the melon seeds in her hand to pieces. She couldn't laugh at all. "You just said yesterday that others  They all learn it since they were young, and some people will prepare for the official examination for several years?"

    "If you don't pass the exam this year, you will take the exam again next year. Isn't that what you said at the beginning?" Ji Xiangzhen continued to eat melon seeds nonchalantly, "What about the perseverance you promised?"

    It¡¯s not that Yue Jiao doesn¡¯t have perseverance, it¡¯s just that he doesn¡¯t have perseverance.  After asking Ji Xiangzhen about the prices in Beijing, she began to worry that the banknotes in her hands would not last until next year.

    This is the first time she realizes the difference between herself and others.

    She had no escape route, but she had no support either.  She has nothing but her obsession with taking the right path.

    Her worried look finally made Ji Xiangzhen frown. He put away the bag of melon seeds in his hand and said seriously: "Don't worry, come here, I'll tell you a secret."

    Yue Jiao looked back at him, unable to resist the curiosity in her heart, and leaned closer to him, "What's the secret?"

    "I have been thinking about it all the way. Master Yan bringing you to Beijing must not be as simple as repaying your life-saving grace." Ji Xiangzhen winked, his eyes full of pride.

    The Yashan Ji family is a well-known family and is very close to the imperial court.  Although Ji Xiangzhen is not very old and not deeply involved in the world, he can??, apart from nodding his head, he couldn't say anything else.

    ****

    As soon as Yan Huailang entered the gate of Xianghe Chengguanyi, he saw Yue Jiao biting a melon seed and looking out from behind the door.

    He smiled secretly in his heart, the squirrel spirit really only eats pine nuts, look at the shape of the melon seeds she bit into.

    He suppressed the smile in his heart and crossed the threshold with his long legs to walk in front of her, "Are you waiting for me?"

    Yue Jiao quickly put away the melon seeds in his hand and nodded.

    "Can I ask you something?" She looked at him carefully.

    There was a breeze at the door, blowing the hair on her temples into a fluffy mess.

    Yan Huailang walked inside, and seeing her following her step by step, he said as he walked, "Ask me."

    "Why did you take me away in the first place?" Yue Jiao bit her lip and hesitated, but decided to get straight to the point.

    Yan Huailang's heart froze, and he paused: "It's been half a month, and you just remembered to ask this?"

    "I'm slow-minded" Yue Jiao lowered his head, a little ashamed.

    Yan Huailang didn¡¯t answer and asked instead: ¡°Then why were you willing to follow me in the first place?¡±

    Yue Jiao raised her head suddenly and replied honestly: "Because you said you are an official."

    "That is to say, no matter who it was at that time, as long as they told you that they were officials, you would go with others?" Yan Huailang frowned.

    This idea is very dangerous. If it turns out to be true, he must quickly correct it for her.

    "That's not the case, I'm not a fool," Yue Jiao said, "Because you seem trustworthy and I know you are a good person and you said you have a carriage."

    What a bafflingly honest answer.

    Yan Huailang rubbed his forehead with a headache and walked away.

    Yue Jiao hurriedly followed, stretched out her hand and grabbed his sleeve: "You haven't answered me yet."

    Yan Huailang lowered his eyes and glanced at the small white hands tightly attached to his sleeves, then gave up on himself and said: "Because I am righteous, I am chivalrous, and I am a good person."

    It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to answer her seriously, it¡¯s actually that he himself is a little confused about this question.

    "You lied to me," Yue Jiao looked at his eyes carefully and loosened his sleeves in disappointment, "I can hear it."

    Yan Huailang raised his hand to hold the top of her head, stopping her from turning around.  "Why do you suddenly want to know this?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
