Although An Yuping passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi in his previous life, his ranking was not very good and could only be considered upper-middle level.
In fact, An Yuping could have achieved better results, but he had a person in his family who was always holding him back. He had to worry about his mother's safety and study at the same time. He was exhausted, so it was already very good that he could pass the imperial examination and achieve an upper-middle level.
He set off in a hurry three months before the exam because he wanted to stay at home for a few more days to prevent the original owner from bullying his mother.
But who would have thought that in the end, his fame was revoked, his mother was sold away and disappeared, and was never found until her death.
This time, An Jingzhi wanted An Yuping to go to the capital earlier. The earlier he went, the more he could observe people's livelihood along the way and he wouldn't be so rushed on the road.
You can also go to Kyoto early to find out the identity of the examiner.
Although he knew, he couldn't tell it directly and had to rely on An Yuping to find out himself.
In ancient times, the results of the imperial examinations largely depended on the preferences of the examiner. If one could find out the identity of the examiner in advance, it would naturally increase the possibility of getting a good score.
"Brother," the bonfire was crackling as Gong Rong on the side kept turning the cut leg of lamb.
"What's wrong?"
"I see."
No wonder he couldn't write any articles in his room these days. It turned out to be because he lacked experience.
So the eldest brother asked him to go out hunting, not to torment him, nor to ask him to play with him, but to let him go out and take a look at the outside world.
After being out for a while, his thoughts were already flowing like a spring.
Every time he helped his elder brother deal with trouble, he would go back with a surge of strength, and it felt like reading and writing were assisted by God.
So dealing with interpersonal relationships is also a kind of exercise.
An Jingzhi smiled and said, "Let's prepare tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. Let's go to the capital and have a look around and communicate with other people."
"You know me, big brother. If I don't hit people, I will feel uncomfortable all over. If I don't cause trouble, I will be irritable. You have to work hard."
An Yuping smiled slightly: "I understand, big brother."
…
After eating the lamb leg and returning home, An Yuping discussed with Bai Chunniang about setting off to the capital to take the exam.
Bai Chunniang agreed immediately after hearing this, and started preparing things that An Yuping would need for the journey that night.
During the day on the second day, Bai Chunniang sent someone to buy a lot of things.
An Yuping went out to visit his friends and elders and told them where he was going.
Ask someone to help take care of the An family.
The county magistrate admired An Yuping very much. When he learned that An Yuping was going to the capital early to take the exam, he gave him a letter and introduced him to his classmates in the capital.
An Yuping thanked him profusely and had dinner at the county magistrate's house before returning to the An family.
The next day, at the gate of his yard, his servants carried boxes of books and put them on the carriage.
There are also dry food, luggage and silver for the journey.
Bai Chunniang was also directing the maids to help. He thought about it and went to An Jingzhi's residence.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, I found that Gong Rong was also packing his luggage.
"Gong Rong, is Big Brother going on a long journey?"
Gong Rong grinned and said, "Yes, the eldest young master said he wanted to follow the second young master."
The eldest young master said that this would make it easier for him to supervise the second young master closely, so that he wouldn't slack off when he went to the capital and no one was watching over him.
An Yuping suddenly realized. No wonder he heard crackling sounds coming from his elder brother's yard yesterday. It turned out that he was also packing his luggage.
An Yuping felt a little touched. The journey was long, at least several hundred miles to the capital, and his elder brother, who was so afraid of trouble, was actually willing to accompany him.
He pushed the door open and entered the room. An Jingzhi was lying on the chaise longue, thinking it was Gong Rong coming in.
"Is everything cleaned up outside? My brother is leaving soon, and we have to follow him."
An Yuping was stunned. This was the first time he heard his elder brother call him younger brother.
"Big brother."
An Jingzhi turned around and said, "Why did you come in? Oh, I forgot to tell you that I want to go to the capital with you this time."
Ever since Bai Chunniang heard the conversation between him and Gong Rong at his door, she seemed like a different person, becoming so enthusiastic that he could hardly continue acting.
It's a good opportunity to use this time to go out and have some fun. The most important thing is to continue to encourage An Yuping after he arrives in Kyoto.
"Brother, the journey is long and tiring, so why don't you stay at home?" An Yuping said hesitantly.
"Why should I stay at home? If I stay at home, how can I know if you are slacking off outside?" An Jingzhi refused without thinking.
"Brother, please believe me. I will never be lazy." An Yuping said seriously.
"Who knows?" An Jingzhi curled his lips and said, "Even if you don't slack off, without my encouragement, you can't unleash your potential, so I still have to go with you."
"Think about these days. If I hadn't taken you out hunting, you wouldn't have been able to write this article."
An Jingzhi really likes this character. As the eldest son, he has the final say, but he also has younger brothers who help support the family. As the eldest brother, he only needs to eat, drink and have fun, and his younger brothers will clean up any trouble he gets into.
An Yuping was speechless and after trying to persuade An Jingzhi again and again but he still insisted, he had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, big brother, I'll go talk to mom."
"Go ahead."
After An Yuping left, An Jingzhi came to the yard, squatted down and looked at the carriage he had specially customized.
He installed a simple spring shock absorption system in this carriage. He was going out to enjoy the scenery, not to suffer.
This spring had been made a long time ago and was waiting for An Yuping to go out.
