Chapter 328 To Jiangnan 1
In this year's spring examination, Su Dalang and Su An passed the exam. To become a Jinshi, they have to wait for the spring examination three years later.
Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. He decided to follow his father's example and go out to study, and then go to Beijing to take the imperial examination three years later. Su Yanli supported his son's study, and after discussion, the whole family went to Jiangnan together.
Mr. Pei, whom he promoted, wanted to go to Jiangnan with him, but was rejected by Su Yanli. "You are not my staff member now, but an official appointed by the court. You should stay here and work for the benefit of the people of Weizhou."
Partnering with Lord Su, the two have a tacit understanding, and Mr. Pei is reluctant to let him go, but even if family members have to go their separate ways, he can only wish the Su family safe journey.
In the summer of the third year of Jingyuan, Su Yanli was promoted to Tongpan of Songjiang Prefecture, and his family went to Jiangnan together.
Zhao Lan also went to Jiangnan with the Su family. He protected his future father-in-law and his family all the way to Songjiang Prefecture and only returned to the capital after they settled down.
Unexpectedly, two days after leaving the capital, Fan Yanjia and Ning Baniang caught up with us.
"You two are..."
Su Yanli and his wife were embarrassed to ask the single man and woman, and Su Ruojin did not hide her surprise, "Young Master Fan, Banniang Ning, what are you doing..." eloping.
Ning Ba Niang's face turned red with shame.
Fan Yanjia bowed and said, "Teacher, I refuse to join the Imperial Academy, and I will never set foot on the official career in this life. I am determined to be a scholar. Jiangnan is a good place. I want to go with you. I wonder if it is convenient?"
Su Ruojin didn't know how to answer this question, so she looked at her father.
Su Yanli thought for a moment: "You didn't get into the Imperial Academy, your teacher..."
"My father knows."
Since Minister Fan knew about it, Su Yanli said no more, "Zi Jin happens to be going to Jiangnan as well, so let's go together."
"Thank you, teacher."
When Fan Yanjia caught up, they were just about to turn from land to water, and the group dragged their horses onto a large ship heading south of the Yangtze River.
Large ships sail on the wide Grand Canal, riding the wind towards the picturesque Jiangnan.
On the official road heading west, Yang Si Niang bought a blue mule cart and hired a middle-aged woman dressed as a man to drive it. She also dressed as a man, and the two of them followed the caravan to Yulin.
Whether it was the green mule cart with carriages or the driver who was a woman dressed as a man, they were all ideas that Ajin had given her. After a few days, she found that Ajin's arrangements were extremely appropriate. The mule cart not only saved labor but also provided shelter from wind and rain and saved accommodation expenses, and there was also a female driver to keep her company. It was both a company and safe, it was simply perfect.
An even bigger surprise was yet to come. The middle-aged woman was very good at this skill and she would practice it for half an hour every morning. Even the men in the caravan who were traveling with her would come over and applaud her.
As soon as Yang Si Niang waited for her to put away her sword, she knelt down and asked her to be her master. The middle-aged woman did not refuse. She bought some fragrant fruits and asked the people from the caravan to witness the ceremony of becoming her master.
The driver was a good and capable driver, so those in the caravan who had evil intentions gave up their plans and stopped trying.
The woman glanced at those who were interested, turned around, got on the mule cart, whipped the cart and drove. If they wanted to make a move on Madam Yang, they would have to see if her sword agreed.
Yang Siniang sat in the carriage, the mule cart rattled, she swayed with the mule cart, leisurely, "Brother Zhao, I'm not in a hurry to go back to Yulin, let's play while walking."
"I am alone and have no ties. You can go however you want, Rongdi."
"Thank you, Brother Zhao." Yang Si Niang looked up at the azure sky without a single cloud and thought to herself, I wonder where A Jin is.
On the Grand Canal, birds fly and fish leap, and the waves are three feet high even without wind.
Standing on the gate and looking into the distance, the sky is high and the land is vast, and your mind suddenly becomes open.
