Chapter 131: Going South to Quanzhou
"Mom, I'm going to go back to Quanzhou to take the exam!" Mr. Jiang carried his daughter all the way to the North Courtyard, rushed to Jiang's mother, and squatted his little daughter to his mother, dancing excitedly, "I can go back to my hometown to take the exam. There must be fewer people taking the martial arts exam in Quanzhou than Jingzhao!"
Mrs. Jiang held the Liu Yatou who was about to fall down, "Can you still do this?"
"Of course!" Mr. Jiang spread the undergraduate martial arts documents copied by Jiang Houer from the wall of the Ministry of Personnel in front of his mother, pointing and saying, "Look, scholars can take the exam for their own examinations or sending exams for their own examinations. The quota for martial arts on Jingzhao Road is fifteen, and there are thirteen on Fujian Road, although there are two fewer places..."
"But the Fujian Road is near the sea, and I rely on sailing more when going out. Few people like to ride horses, and even fewer people know how to do equestrians." Mrs. Jiang is very familiar with the customs of Quanzhou where she gave birth to her. "It's easier for my son to go to Quanzhou than in Jingzhao!"
"What my mother said is so true! I will pack up my greetings now and rush to Quanzhou tomorrow." Mr. Jiang Er saw hope again and shined, "I will go and prepare now!"
After saying that, Mr. Jiang turned around and ran away. Jiang Liu couldn't keep up even if he wanted to. Jiang's mother was happy for a while and began to worry, "The journey from Kang'an to Quanzhou for more than 3,000 miles, Feng'er had never gone far away. He was weak, how could he stand it..."
When his grandmother was worried about his father's trip, Jiang Liu left and went to the west courtyard to find his father who caused Jiang Houer to pack up the ceremony. He grabbed his hand and said, "Dad, Liu Er is going too."
Mr. Jiang immediately shook his head, "No, Quanzhou is too far away, Liu'er is waiting at home, and my dad will come back to take you out of the city to float kites."
"Second Master, it's time for you to come back, it's time to start winter." Jiang Houer reminded.
Mr. Jiang changed his words, "When my father comes back, he takes you out of the city to play with snow."
"Liu'er-want to go~Liu'er-can-help~" Jiang Liubuyi held his father's hand and acted coquettishly, "Liu'er-not to separate from Dad, Dad-where to go, Liu'er-goes to go."
The Jiang family’s ancestral home is Quanzhou. Qingxi, more than a hundred miles east of Quanzhou, is Jiang Liu’s hometown. Even after thousands of years, she wants to go and see her parents. She can’t recognize the place and meet her ancestors of the Liu family. The Great Zhou Dynasty is not as modern as the developed transportation. If she missed this opportunity, she might not have the chance to go back in her life.
Jiang Houer's eyes turned and helped the Sixth Girl talk, "Good, please take Sixth Girl, do you see, this time it was because of the Sixth Girl's help that you found this way to break the deadlock?"
"That's it." Liu'er pulled his father's sleeve and shook it, "Liu'er-want to go~"
In the evening, Jiang Song came back from the yamen and listened to the incident. He sighed that the heads of the group of adults were not as good as a seven-year-old doll. "This is really a way out! Let the third brother, Uncle Qiu, Master Lu and Jiang Houer go with you..."
Jiang Huai immediately responded, "Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of my second brother."
"My third brother and I have left. Who cares about me? Third brother stays, I will take Uncle Qiu and the others..." Seeing Liu'er crying and making trouble for the afternoon, Jiang Er's eyes looked at him again, and gritted his teeth, "Go with Liu'er."
When Jiang Liu heard this, he immediately smiled happily.
Jiang Song immediately lowered his face, "Nothing! The sixth girl is not allowed to go, the third brother follows!"
"Liu'er thought about going to play, we'll walk slowly on the road..."
Before Mr. Jiang finished his explanation, he was interrupted by his elder brother, "That's not OK! He walked on the road for thirty or forty days. Liu'er was too young to bear it."
Jiang's mother called her granddaughter and asked, "It's three thousand miles away from Kang'an to Quanzhou. This round trip, Liu'er is probably going to lose weight as your third sister. Will Liu'er even go there like this?"
"Liu'er-not afraid." Jiang Liu immediately made a statement. Even if she was as thin as a lightning bolt, she would go.
Mrs. Jiang touched Liu'er's head, "If Liu'er is not afraid of suffering, then go with your father. You are not allowed to cry and come back on the way."
"Okay!" Jiang Liuxiao bent her eyes. Her grandmother agreed so easily, which really surprised her.
Jiang Song was puzzled and asked Liu'er to take him down. After only three of them were left in the room, he asked, "Why did my mother ask Liu'er to follow him?"
Jiang's mother said slowly, "Only by Liu'er can you feel at ease when you follow her."
What's the reason for this? The three brothers were stunned.
"Because Hui Niang is not at ease with Jiang Qiu, Lu Dingyun, Ya Yin and Jiang Bao. If Liu'er follows, Ling'er will definitely follow him. Although Ling'er is young, she is very smart. Jiang Qiu and the others listen to Ling'er, so it is safe to have him follow him." Mrs. Jiang expressed her concerns.
After the last prison disaster, Jiang Song trusted Jiang Ling's ability very much and said, "Let Ling'er follow you, stay with you."
Jiang Ling is not Feng'er's biological son, how can Mrs. Jiang rest assured, "Liu'er and Feng'er are closest. Once they encounter danger, Liu'er will not leave her father behind, and Ling'er will not ignore Liu'er, so that Feng'er can return safely."
Mr. Jiang understood his mother's concerns and comforted her, "Don't worry, mom, they all believe in righteousness. They will not ignore her when they encounter danger, and Ling'er will not."
"You can trust them, but your mother can't trust them. My mother is worried that Kang'an City is peaceful, but it may not be peaceful all the way, and you have to consider it carefully for you. You have grown up so old that you have never left your mother..." Jiang's mother said, her eyes turning red.
Jiang Huai also said, "My mother makes sense. It has been less than a year since Uncle Qiu and his friends entered the mansion, and the two martial artists have been in less than half a year. The second brother is indeed more secure when he takes Ling'er and Liu'er on the road. Brother, if we had such an opportunity to travel far when we were young, would you like to go?"
Of course I thought. Jiang Song pursed her lips, "But Liu'er's body has not yet recovered. What if she is sick on the road?"
Jiang Huai smiled and said, "With the second brother here, my mother must arrange everything properly. How much hardship can she endure with her? "
Jiang Song had no choice but to nod, "Okay, I'll send someone to inquire about the big ship going south tomorrow and book another room for Liu'er..."
Mr. Jiang interrupted his elder brother, "I want to ride a horse. It's fast to ride a horse, and you can also practice equestrian on the road."
Jiang Song disagreed, "It's not appropriate. If you ride a horse for more than 3,000 miles this time, you will definitely be tired after riding a horse when you arrive in Quanzhou. Not only will you not practice horse skills well, but you can't read books well. When my father went to Beijing to take the exam in Quanzhou, he took half of the land route first, and changed to a boat in Hangzhou, and went all the way to Kang'an along the canal. The second brother also walked like this, and during the boat, it was necessary to integrate the "Seven Books of Wujing"..."
Jiang's mother said, "Your brother is right, just do it. You will know that it's more comfortable to ride a big boat than a carriage. Feng'er should not worry about money, there is still something here for my mother..."
If my mother still has money, how could Mr. Jiang Er not know? He immediately shook his head, "If you want my mother to pawn the dowry, I would rather not go. My mother is worried. I will ask someone to borrow money to go on the road, and I will pay them back slowly after I come back."
Jiang Huai said, "Second brother, don't be anxious first. Let's calculate how much money you need for this trip. It's not too late to find someone to turn around."
After discussing in the middle of the night, Mr. Jiang returned to the west courtyard and saw the lights in his room on. He opened the door and found that his children were all in the room. He asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Jiang Ling stood up and said unavoidably, "I'm going to Quanzhou too."
It was really my mother who asked me to find him. Mr. Jiang wanted to tease his son, so he said seriously, "Your uncle doesn't agree to stay with me, but if you want to go, you should be able to do it."
Ah? Jiang Liu's little face immediately felt bitter.
If my sister doesn’t go, why are he going to do? Jiang Ling immediately said, “Sister can’t go. If I still go with me, my sister will be even more sad and I won’t go.”
This brat! Mr. Jiang didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, so he asked his eldest daughter, "You won't go?"
