"Sister, how long do we have to go?"

Teng Yanyun was carrying a baggage on each shoulder and followed behind Yu Jin and Wang Xingzhi, somewhat out of breath.

Hu Yan stopped, covered his eyes with his hands and looked ahead, "It's not far."

He looked back at Teng Yanyun, "Are you tired? Give me the baggage, I'll carry it."

Teng Yanyun took two steps back to avoid Yu Yan's hand, "No, I'm not tired."

As he spoke, Teng Yanyun ran forward a few steps and crossed the embers, "I still have the strength! Sister, follow me quickly!"

Suddenly a shadow fell over the top of his head, followed by a sudden light on his shoulders. Teng Yanyun looked up and saw Wang Xingzhi striding forward with his baggage in hand.

"Coming to uncle?"

"Don't show off."

Teng Yanyun followed him up and down, "I'm not trying to show off. Come on, uncle, you..."

"Call me brother."

"don't want."

"How come Yan Yan is the sister and I am the uncle. She is just one generation older than her."

"Because you are the oldest!"

Teng Yanyun started talking nonsense with Wang Xingzhi again, and this scene had been repeated countless times.

The three of them set out for Shuntian Mansion as soon as they heard about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River. When they left the north, they took a carriage. However, as there were more refugees as they went south, the journey was quite inconvenient and they would often be stopped by the refugees, so the three of them went there.

I abandoned the car and decided to walk the rest of the way.

Among the three of them, Teng Yanyun was the youngest, but he cared about the mother-in-law and did not feel tired carrying Yu Hu and her luggage along the way, for fear that Yu Hu would get tired.

As for Wang Xingzhi, he thinks that he is the only man in this three-person team, and the remaining young and old... ahem, no, they are sick and weak, and he is strong and tall, so he naturally has to bear the burden

For the safety of Qi Yiyu and Teng Yanyun, share as much as you can.

As for Yi Yan, she felt that although her body was a bit worn out now, it was naturally much better than Wang Xingzhi and Teng Yanyun. However, Teng Yanyun and Wang Xingzhi misunderstood her deeply, and Yi Yan didn't bother to say,

It seemed that the problem was not big, so it was left to the two of them.

So speaking of it, counting embers is the easiest among the three.

"Ahem."

After Yan Yan coughed twice, Teng Yanyun's ears were pointed. Hearing the sound, he turned around and ran back to help Yi Yan catch his breath. A worried look flashed in his eyes, "Are you tired again? Let's take a rest."

Wang Xingzhi also stopped and said, "Have a rest?"

Yi Yan calmed down, waved his hands to the two of them, and said it was okay, "It's okay, I was out of breath just now, and I choked on my saliva."

Teng Yanyun believed it, but Wang Xingzhi made it clear that he didn't believe it. He said, "I often choke on my saliva. Do you have too much saliva or your throat is too thin? You keep choking."

This excuse was used by Yu Jin. Wang Xingzhi could tell that Yu Jin had some physical problems, but he looked normal at ordinary times. Yu Jin didn't show or say anything, so naturally he wouldn't be free to dig into other people's private affairs.

"Have a rest." Wang Xingzhi made the final decision. He looked around, then took Yi Yan and Teng Yanyun to the foot of a leafy tree, and spread a piece of cloth for the two of them to sit down.

"Sister, drink water."

Yu Yan subconsciously used his left hand to catch it, but was unexpectedly hit by the weight of the water bag. Wang Xingzhi saw that Yu Yan's hand was trembling slightly.

But she clearly didn't carry any heavy objects or use any strength along the way, so she couldn't have lost strength.

Yi Yan turned the water bag to his right hand, took a few sips of water and handed it back to Teng Yanyun, "We are about to arrive at Shuntian Mansion. How do you feel along the way?"

Wang Xingzhi knew that Yu Yan was asking him this question. He raised his head and took a sip of water. He held it for a while before swallowing it. He thought for a while and said, "There are too many refugees."

Yi Yan clicked his tongue, "I'm asking you how you feel, not asking you to state it."

Wang Xingzhi glanced at her, "Live by the sea?"

Subtext: The tube is so wide!

Yan Yan was not annoyed, she casually grabbed a piece of grass, held it in her hand and played with it, "Who wants to care about you? It's not your father and mother who asked me to advise you to go back to take the scientific examination. I'm just entrusted by others."

Ember raised his eyes: "How's it going? Did you figure it out along the way?"

That's right, from Northland to Jiangnan Shuntianfu, one in the south and one in the north. The two places are far apart. It's only half the distance by horse carriage. After crossing the invisible southern border, I started to see the refugees running out from the south.

.

In fact, when she saw the refugees, Yu Jin had the idea of ​​giving up the carriage. However, considering the instructions of the Wang family's parents, Yu Jin didn't say anything. She wanted Wang Xingzhi to see the situation.

So the carriage went south, and the refugees also changed from scattered scattered people into groups. They gathered on the official road. When they saw passing carriages or caravans, they swarmed around them, knelt down, kowtowed, cried, and shouted, "Poor, pathetic, pathetic."

"Let's," "Give us something to eat," "Do a good deed," "A great philanthropist," and so on. It was probably a lady from an official family who was passing by at that time. She may have strong sympathy, and she was probably well protected by her family, so she

Food was delivered.

Then--

More refugees rushed up and scattered the carriage. If the young lady was not protected by a maid, she would never have been able to escape safely.

When this scene fell into the eyes of Yu Yan, Teng Yanyun and Wang Xingzhi, they all had different reactions.

The ember looked at it normally, with no waves in its eyes. Teng Yanyun sighed, sighing that our young lady thought too simply. Only Wang Xingzhi's eyes were heavy, and the veins in his clenched fists were clearly visible.

In fact, strictly speaking, the reactions of Yu Yan and Teng Yanyun belong to the same category, they are both indifferent, while Wang Xingzhi has the chivalry and spirit of a young man, but on the one hand, he knows that he cannot control the situation, and both ends of the balance in his heart rely on reason.

Controlling.

"Let's abandon the car."

Wang Xingzhi said this.

So the three of them abandoned the carriage and took a path to bypass the refugees. They walked intermittently on their feet for more than half a month, and then finally reached the edge of Shuntian Mansion.

"Why are you so concerned about my affairs?"

"I am not concerned about your affairs, but I am concerned about what your parents told me. You have to understand the cause and effect."

Wang Xingzhi stopped talking. He was silent for a while and then said: "Do you know what the meaning of the imperial examination is?"

What is the meaning of the imperial examination?

Teng Yanyun raised his hands and said hurriedly: "I know, I know. The imperial examination is a test. If you pass the test, you will become an official."

Yi Yan thought about Teng Yanjun's words for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Yes, although the words are not so rigorous, they are rough and unreasonable, that's pretty much what they mean."

"Oh, to be an official?" Wang Xingzhi twitched his lips, his tone was a little mocking, "The imperial examination is just for being an official? What about being an official? What is the purpose of being an official?"

Teng Yanyun: "Benefiting the people? That's what the book says."

Wang Xingzhi looked in the direction of Shuntian Mansion, "Did the official do it?"

“Have those people who passed the imperial examination and those who served as officials brought benefit to one party?”
