One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

After the results were released, Yan Qingzhi had to rush to Zhaodu as soon as possible to take the final exam.

She had made preparations a long time ago, brought the things she should bring, and the group was about to leave Qingtan County.

Yan Qingzhi originally thought that she would go to Zhaodu first, take care of everything, and then write a letter to pick up the children.

But Su He said that he has a yard in Zhao, which has been idle for more than 20 years, and it is just right to keep it.

Yan Qingzhi's eyes lit up when he heard about the courtyard, thinking that he was going to become a family of all property owners.

But after 20 years of idle time, I had to take back my extravagant thoughts.

How dilapidated is the house that has not been lived in for 20 years?
When they were leaving, Yan Qingzhu and Lu Jian came over to see them off.

Lu Jian seemed to have something to say, but after winking at Yan Qingzhi twice, the other party didn't see him, and he was extremely uncomfortable, anxious enough, and there was nothing he could do.

Yan Qingzhi's five senses are keen, so she naturally wouldn't ignore his abnormality, but the relationship between the two of them was normal at first, but they haven't seen each other for two years, so they don't know each other well, so she doesn't bother to talk to each other.

Moreover, after this parting, Yan Qingzhu will have to stay here alone for a year, and he will not be able to go to Zhaodu to find her until after the autumn encirclement next year.

The two haven't seen each other for two years, and they have only been together for more than a few months, and they have to part again. It's strange that Yan Qingzhi is in a good mood, and she doesn't even want to be perfunctory with Lu Jian.

After explaining everything that should be explained, Yan Qingzhi really didn't know what else to say, so she could only wave goodbye to the two of them.

When she was leaving, she saw Feng Shanchang standing there alone on the high mountain, feeling extremely reluctant.

I don't know if it's because he is reluctant to part with Yan Qingzhi, a close disciple, or because he is reluctant to part with Su He.

Or maybe both.

Yan Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to expose the little old man's actions.

It's just that she hadn't thought it through yet, when she saw Su He jumping down from a carriage behind, facing Feng Shanchang's position, he waved a toast gesture.

Feng Shan was quite old, but his eyes were not bad, he laughed out loud at this.

He also squeezed the air and toasted Su He, the two drank the cup reluctantly, and then waved goodbye.

Yan Qingzhi also said goodbye to him in his direction.

Feng Shanchang watched from afar, watching the convoy go further and further, he let out a long sigh, then turned and went down the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, Yan Qingzhu and Lu Jian came to pick him up.

The three of them went down the mountain together, and the boy and his followers were waiting at the foot of the mountain with winking eyes.

On the other hand, Yu Lili was at the front in the carriage, and Su He's carriage went around a few turns before arriving at the end.

The drivers in the middle were all tenants of the Yan family, and they all voluntarily left with Yan Qingzhi.

In fact, besides them, there are some people who also want to leave with Yan Qingzhi.

But the situation in Zhaodu is unclear, and Yan Qingzhi can't use so many people.

Another one, just having the determination to leave is not enough, at least you must have the strength to match your ambition.

Those who walk with her are all people she thinks can be cultivated.

Qingtan County is not too far from Zhaodu. From the south, take the waterway across Shanbei Prefecture, and walk three or four hundred miles northwest to Zhaodu.

All the way through, that is, about ten days.

First, they rushed from Qingtan County to the wharf of Mengyun City, and then rented a big boat. All the carriages brought by Yan Qingzhi rushed to the boat directly.

She asked Su He to guard her, and went down to buy food, vegetables, meat and fodder for horses from the merchants at the pier by herself, and after they were delivered to the boat, she signaled for the boat to set off.

There is a lot of water around Chao County, and the people Yan Qingzhi brought are also good at water, and none of them suffer from seasickness.

They were divided into two teams, one led by Su He and the other led by Yan Qingzhi, who took turns guarding the warehouse.

The remaining few people were led by Jun Tongyue to prepare daily meals, feed the horses and clean up, etc.

The water route is much faster than the land route, especially when going from Chao County to Zhaodu, it is going downstream. These days, the weather is not bad, and there is no wind and waves.

By the time we arrived at the pier again, it was already seven days later.

The carriage landed again, and the horses were all in high spirits.

It's a pity that seeing that the sky is about to get dark, and if you want to go on your way, you have to wait until tomorrow, Yan Qingzhi found an inn and wanted to stay overnight.

But after inquiring about the price, I felt a bit of pain.

The prices in Zhaodu are really extraordinary, and he was swayed by the prices before entering the city.

Although I understand that there is also a relationship between the proximity to the pier and the premium price of the inn, but no matter what the reason is, what is paid out is Yan Qingzhi's real money!

At this time, she missed the post along the way.

If she hadn't turned against Mei Heng, she must have taken the secret order of Tian Jing Division that Mei Heng gave her to live in the post now!
It's a pity that they have turned their backs after all, and it's really hard to use the other party's things again.

She could only take a deep breath, paid the money with tears in her eyes, beckoned someone to drive the carriage to the backyard, and then discussed who was on duty.

Su He was getting old, Yan Qingzhi simply let him rest for the night, Jun Tongyue led people to watch the first half of the night, and she led people to watch the second half of the night.

People on both sides were also divided into four groups, and the third group suffered a bit, but it was worth less for a while.

When it was dawn, they loaded the car and continued on their way.

It is only two or three hundred miles away from Zhaodu, but the prosperity is becoming more and more surprising.

The prosperity of Zhaodu is different from the prosperity of Yunhaizhou.

The former has an aura of majesty and vicissitudes, and even every Zhuangzi outside the city seems to have a certain kind of rigor.

The prosperity of the latter is due to the chicness of the people in the rivers and lakes and the support of overseas materials. Beauty is beautiful, but it lacks the heritage brought by rules.

It's hard to get around without rules.

The drivers along the way sighed again and again, whether it was the courtyard here or Zhuangzi, these tenant farmers who had never left Nest County were shocked.

They have learned some rules, knowing that they can't make loud noises at will, and they also understand that they represent the face of the master, so they can only want to watch, but endure it.

The carriage ran fairly fast, and encountered other cars along the way. According to the grade, Yan Qingzhi had to give way to some, but it was two or three hundred miles away, starting early in the morning and arriving by noon.

Before entering the city, everyone ate some dry food to pad their stomachs.

Originally, Yan Qingzhi wanted to treat him to a good meal, but after thinking about Uncle Su's courtyard, he didn't know what it was like, so he cleaned it up first, and let's eat this good meal later in the evening!

After eating and drinking enough, Yan Qingzhi switched places with Su He, and she drove the carriage ahead.

The city walls of Zhaodu are tall and thick, and may be as high as five stories at a glance.

The city gate is tall and large, and behind the gate is a luxurious archway.

Looking through the door opening, only a part of the archway can be seen.

Yan Qingzhi and the guards took out the tokens of engineering candidates.

The guards were more serious than the other, and told Yan Qingzhi that no carriages were allowed after entering the city, and those who drove the carriages had to lead the horses so as not to run into passers-by.

Yan Qingzhi didn't talk nonsense, it was not a big deal, there was no need to offend these guards.
