Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 369

"You?" Du Jinning was surprised, "What are you going to do?"

This traffic is really annoying.If nothing happened, Du Jinning wouldn't go to Fucheng for nothing.

"Anyway, I'm fine at home. I just wanted to go out for a walk, so I'll accompany you on this trip." Qi Muyuan said.

Du Jinning stared at Qi Muyuan, trying to see from his handsome face whether what he said was true or not, but Qi Muyuan always had a calm expression, or no expression, and Du Jinning didn't see anything.

She shrugged her shoulders: "It's fine for you to go, as long as you're not afraid of the bumps along the way." Then she complained, "That road is really difficult to walk. If it wasn't for my help, I would never go there."

"Riding a horse is more comfortable than riding a car." Qi Muyuan said expressionlessly.

Du Jinning looked at him suspiciously, she always felt that Qi Muyuan was fooling her.But with Qi Muyuan's face, it's really hard to see what's going on.

"Okay, then lend me your bay red horse." Du Jinning didn't know what politeness was.

A smile flashed in Qi Muyuan's eyes: "Okay." Then he asked, "When are you leaving?"

"I think the weather is good, take advantage of the good weather, let's go tomorrow."

"it is good."

When Mrs. Chen heard that Qi Muyuan was also going to Fucheng, along with several of his family's martial arts guards, she was relieved and helped Du Jinning pack his things.

"Oh, it would be nice if there was a servant following you, at least I could bring you some water to wash your clothes or something." She nags again.

"I think so, but in my situation, do you think I'm buying a maid or a servant?"

Chen was dumbfounded.

Du Jinning got up before dawn the next day, and got into Wang Fulai's mule cart after breakfast.

Wang Fulai wanted to go with her, not only because she could take a ride when Du Jinning was uncomfortable riding a horse, but when she arrived in Fucheng, she could have someone who ordered her around and ran errands, so she wouldn't have to do everything herself.

From simplicity to luxury is easy, from luxury to simplicity is difficult.After being here for less than two years, she has degenerated from a glorious working people to a hateful exploiting class. She doesn't want to do anything by herself, and always wants to order others.

When the two arrived at Qi's mansion, Du Jinning didn't go in and asked the concierge to call Qi Muyuan out.

After a while, Qi Muyuan and Liu Gao came out with their horses, and everyone was stunned when they saw Wang Fulai's mule cart.

Liu Gao said carelessly: "Teacher, when will you be able to get to Fucheng, you old ox pulling a broken cart? Now that you have learned how to ride a horse, how can you succeed if you don't practice it? It's better to throw away this old ox pulling a broken cart."

When Wang Fulai heard that Liu Gao described his mule cart as an old ox pulling a broken cart, his face turned red with anger, and he snapped back unceremoniously: "My young master is not a Lu Han like you, a scholar who is gentle and gentle. , why do you have to ride a horse instead of a car?"

Fearing that Du Jinning would really leave him behind, he turned his head and looked at Du Jinning pitifully: "Master, you won't really leave the little one behind, will you?"

Du Jinning suppressed a smile, shook his head and said: "No. But ride fast, I will follow them, and you will follow behind with the cart. If I can't ride the horse anymore, I will find a place to wait for you in front, and then I will take your car." Car." Paused, "Of course, if I can insist on riding the whole distance, I will go directly into the city. When you arrive in Fucheng, you can go directly to the small courtyard near Fuxue."

Suddenly reduced to a spare tire, Wang Fulai was very depressed.But he also knew that Du Jinning had been learning how to ride a horse during this period of time, and it would be a matter of time before he was used as a spare tire, and it was useless for him to object.

"Okay then." He nodded.

Seeing that everyone was here, the group set off on the road.

In the past, when Liu Gao and the others went to Fucheng, they all rode horses, and it only took half a day to get there.Today, in order to take care of Du Jinning, a newbie, everyone deliberately slowed down.

"Relax your body and let your body swing with the ups and downs of the horse. Don't clamp your legs so tightly, otherwise your inner legs will be scratched before you get to Fucheng." As a master, Liu Gao never forgets to teach apprentice.

Du Jinning followed what they said and adjusted himself to a relaxed state.

"Yes, well done. If you run back and forth like this twice, your body doesn't feel particularly tired, and your legs don't get scratched. Only then can you know how to ride a horse." Liu Gao said.

Du Jinning turned to look at Qi Muyuan, feeling more grateful to him.

Presumably this was also Qi Muyuan's intention for asking her to come to Fucheng on horseback.Although I usually know how to ride a horse, I can't learn it if I haven't run a long distance.

Qi Muyuan usually keeps quiet and looks cold and unkind, but when getting along, he is more careful and considerate than Guan Jiaze and Zhang Hongwen.No, after riding for less than half an hour, he was worried that Du Jinning would not get used to it, so he proposed to stop and rest.

Everyone rested in that small town for a quarter of an hour before setting off on the road again.

After walking like this for half an hour and resting for a while, in the afternoon, the group arrived at Fucheng.

"How's it going? Which one is more comfortable compared to taking a car?" Liu Gao asked Du Jinning.

Although the sun at noon was a bit hot and he felt a little tired, Du Jinning still felt that riding a horse was much more comfortable than riding a car.It is not so bumpy on the one hand, the field of vision is wide, and the speed is fast.She likes the feeling of riding a horse.

She truthfully told her thoughts, and Liu Gao was overjoyed: "My disciple knows what's good and what's wrong."

Qi Muyuan asked Du Jinning, "Where do you live?"

"I have a small yard near Fuxue. How about you?"

"Our family has a house in the north of the city." Qi Muyuan said.

Aristocratic families generally have houses in Fucheng, not to mention anything else, just talking about traveling to and from the capital, they can have a place to rest instead of staying in an inn.

Du Jinning was a little embarrassed when he heard it.The government school is in the south of the city, and the Qi family's house is in the north of the city.Fucheng is quite big.In this way, it is really troublesome for the two of them to make an appointment to do something.

Qi Muyuan also thought of this, and said: "Why don't you live in my house. Our house in the prefecture city is similar to the one in the county, except for the family servants who look after the yard, all of them are empty."

Du Jinning couldn't help asking: "Why are there so few people in your family?"

Like the Guan family, the Liang family, and the Yan family, each family has tens of hundreds of people, and these are relatively close relatives, such as Guan Le, four brothers, and their uncles and brothers.If you count all the five servers, it will be even more incalculable.

"Our family has never been prosperous. My grandfather has only two brothers, my uncle has only one son, and my grandfather has only my father and my uncle. My father is okay, and gave birth to three of us, my brother and sister; my uncle has a house full of aunts. , but only two daughters were born.”

Under Qi Muyuan, there is also a ten-year-old concubine sister and a five-year-old brother. Du Jinning knows about it.She just didn't know that the members of the Qi family were so thin.
