Quick Wear: Male Match Ignore
Chapter 36
The two came to Li Ci's courtyard and found that there were only the teacher and his wife. Li Hongwen's vacation was over and he had returned to the military camp.
"Teacher, wife, my brother and I came to say goodbye to you two. We will go to Jizhou City later."
Lin Zixuan bowed to the teacher.
"Okay, I hope Xuan'er will pass the exam smoothly. I will wait for your good news."
Li Ci has great confidence in this disciple.
After a year of experience, this student's knowledge level has not fallen behind at all, and has even improved, and his policy essay level has also increased sharply.
In his intuition, this disciple will bring him surprises.
"Teacher, you and your wife should take good care of your health and wait for my good news."
Lin Zixuan responded with a confident smile, his smile and answer made people feel full of strength.
After that, the two turned and left.
But they did not go out of the city, but rented a carriage in the carriage and horse shop in Yuncheng, and then bought some dry food in the shop.
Lin Zixuan took the twenty taels of silver that his wife gave him and handed it to his eldest brother.
Now his eldest brother has about thirty taels of silver in his hand, and his parents also gave some of their accumulated silver to Lin Zihe, about ten taels, so that he could buy clothes and food for his younger brother.
Although the Lin family is not rich, that is for the landlords.
After he passed the exam to become a scholar and became a disciple of Li Ci, his family's living conditions improved a lot, and he did not spend money lavishly, so he naturally saved a lot of money.
These ten taels of silver are the money that the Lin family has kept at the bottom of the box, after all, the family still has expenses.
But Lin's father knew what money should be spent and what money should not be spent.
Lin Ziqiao was very nervous. He had never seen so much money before, and he didn't dare to imagine that he could manage so much money.
From the land, the family of several people could only earn less than three taels of silver a year. Seeing that Li Ci and his wife were so generous and treated their younger brother so well, he was very grateful.
He secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must let his son study hard and strive to become a scholar or even a juren.
As for why he didn't buy a carriage? That's because in this era, horses are a rare resource and very expensive, no less than Rolls-Royce in modern society.
A horse costs fifty or sixty taels of silver, plus a carriage, it's probably eighty taels of silver.
His family definitely can't afford so much silver. Although Lin Zixuan is rich, considering that Jizhou City still needs to settle horses, it's too troublesome, so he didn't buy it.
"Hey, can you rent a carriage here?"
When the two walked to the door of the carriage shop, Lin Zihe asked a waiter.
"Yes, sir, we have a carriage rental service here. How many carriages do you two need? Where are you going?"
The waiter saw that there were customers asking questions, so he stopped his work and led them to the store.
"We have three-level carriages here, and the horses and carriages are different. Which one do you need?"
The waiter pointed to three signs.
"We are going to Jizhou City. Which one do you think is more suitable?"
Lin Zihe didn't usually come to Yuncheng, and didn't know the price of renting a carriage, so he could only ask the waiter.
"It's a long distance to Jizhou City. All three can be rented, but since it takes a longer time, the price will naturally be higher."
When the waiter heard that they were going to Jizhou City, he gave a shot of precaution.
"Dude, just tell me how much it is."
Lin Zihe had a huge sum of thirty taels in his hand, so he was not afraid and said directly.
"Sir, our three carriages cost three taels, five taels and eight taels of silver respectively, all with horsemen."
The clerk pointed at the three carriages and quoted the prices one by one.
Lin Zihe secretly smacked his lips. This was equivalent to his family's income in the previous year. It was really expensive.
He looked at Lin Zixuan and motioned for him to choose the one he liked.
"Let's take this one."
Lin Zixuan pointed to the carriage road that cost three taels of silver.
He didn't have high requirements for the comfort of the carriage, and he didn't even need a carriage, but this was a long-distance trip and he had to maintain a certain amount of energy. The most important thing was to make his brother relax, and it would be better to have a means of transportation.
It would be good to rent a carriage, which would save worry and effort.
"Okay, this is it. Pick me a coachman who is familiar with the road conditions and quiet."
Lin Zihe breathed a sigh of relief and told the waiter.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get the coachman for you."
After saying that
, after a while, the waiter brought an old man with gray hair but strong body, and told him the guest's requirements while walking.
"This is a famous old coachman in our town. He has been to various places nearby and just came back from Jizhou City last month."
"And he usually doesn't talk. He is the best candidate to meet the guest's requirements."
The waiter explained to the two.
Lin Zixuan nodded with satisfaction. Seeing this, Lin Zihe didn't say anything and decided directly.
After signing the contract and paying the deposit.
The waiter told them that the coachman's surname was Li, so they could just call him Old Man Li.
Lin Zihe looked at the carriage in front of him, which could be called extremely simple, but the most basic cleanliness and shelter from wind and rain were no problem.
The two got on the carriage and asked the coachman to go to the nearby shops first and buy some dry food.
Since then, the two brothers of the Lin family officially set out on the road to Jizhou City.
Time passed in a blink of an eye.
"We've finally arrived at Jizhou City."
Lin Zihe and Lin Zixuan got off the carriage and stood in front of the city gate, looking up at the tall city wall in front of them.
The wall is made of solid blue bricks. The knife marks and sword marks on the bricks gradually blurred under the erosion of time, but it still gives people a sense of the vicissitudes of history.
The huge plaque hanging high on the city gate reads "Jizhou City" in three big characters, with vigorous and powerful fonts.
Many carriages and pedestrians came and went in a hurry in front of the city tower, as if they were used to seeing this city tower, which made them seem to be surprised.
Lin Zixuan was not surprised. In the previous world of cultivation, the various buildings of the sect were not comparable to those of the mortal world. In addition, he had been traveling and living in the mortal world of the cultivation world for thousands of years. What kind of city tower buildings had he not seen?
He had also been to the palace of the mortal world country, and the city tower in front of him was much inferior to it.
"Don't stay in front of the gate for long. If you want to go into the city, hurry up and line up."
Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away.
It turned out that the soldier in front of the gate saw them standing in front of the gate for a while, and then he shouted.
The tone can't be said to be very good, but it's not bad, just the kind of businesslike.
There is no arrogance like in the previous novels, movies and TV dramas, after all, it's just fiction.
He is just a soldier guarding the gate. If he doesn't have extraordinary eyesight, he doesn't know when he will offend someone and go down.
In addition, the provincial examination will be held in the first half of the month. Looking at the young boy in front of him, wearing a simple scholar's uniform and a scholar's temperament, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is a student participating in the provincial examination.
