After the spring rain, the road is a little slippery and the air is a little humid.
In a gazebo, Chen Yu took out a map, looked at it, and roughly estimated the next itinerary and date.
There is still about a week left for the test. If you calculate according to your current pace, you will arrive in about two days, or at noon on the third day.
After putting away the map and resting in the gazebo for a while, Chen Yu fed himself and the little fox in his arms some food and water, got up and continued on the road.
At noon, Chen Yu walked outside a somewhat lively town.
After all, it is close to the capital city, and it is much more prosperous than the small towns that Chen Yu passed by before.
Whether it's the surrounding buildings or the clothes of the pedestrians, they are much better than other places in Chen Yu's impression.
And unlike before, Chen Yu was often the only one on a road, and occasionally saw other pedestrians passing by in a hurry.
Outside this small town, pedestrians from all walks of life needed to go in to recharge and take a break, so they also met some fellow travelers, but most of the pedestrians were wary of each other, and no one deliberately got close to others.
Walking into the small town, it was the first time to truly see the ancient customs. Chen Yu observed everything around him with great interest.
Especially those knights with swords, but Chen Yu also swept them away.
In case you meet some hot-tempered people and say "what are you looking at", it's not very good.
At the same time, because it was the first time seeing so many people, the little white fox was also a little scared, so instead of wrapping it around Chen Yu's neck as a scarf, he buried his whole head in Chen Yu's arms, showing his eyes from time to time to look around.
Although the passers-by around saw Chen Yu hugging a little white fox with pure white fur, most of them were a little curious, but nothing happened that would please some audiences.
A pure white white fox can be sold for a good price, but it also depends on the identity of the owner.
Chen Yu's attire and appearance made him look like a wealthy family, and with Chen Yu's luggage on his back, it seemed that he was going to Beijing for the exam, and no one would be short-sighted.
It's not that accidents happened to people with fame, at least in Chen Yu's memory. Two years ago, he was just a scholar who was attracted by others.
After the family reported to the government, the government conducted a thorough investigation and finally found that the murderer was a disciple of a middle school.
The final result was that the two men were beheaded for public display, the disciples of the sect were sent into exile, and the sect was requisitioned by the court.
This is also the reason why Chen Yu dared to take the little white fox with him openly.
Chen Yu's Juren status is actually not low in this world.
If it was just for a white fox, as long as he was a person with normal IQ, he would not offend him because of this bit of greed.
…
Chen Yu stopped in front of a shop, ready to go in and buy some pastries as the next supply.
Just as Chen Yu was about to go in, a young man in the uniform of a yamen servant walked straight towards Chen Yu at a fast pace.
After approaching, Chen Yu looked at his clothes and knew that he was a government servant in the county government.
Chen Yu thought about the location of this small town, and knew that this person should be from Linjing County.
Walking in front of Chen Yu, the yamen servant took a breath and clasped his fists at Chen Yu and asked, "Are you a Juren who went to the capital to take the exam?"
There was slight sweat on his forehead, and at the same time he thought to himself, fortunately, he caught up, but he didn't expect to be at the entrance of the town for a while, and almost missed one.
Chen Yu nodded, and after hearing this person's question, he had a guess about the purpose of this yamen servant.
Sure enough, the yamen servant went on to say, "This..."
Chen Yu said, "My surname is Chen."
"Chen Xiaolian, it's like this." The officer first bowed his hands to Chen Yu again, "I work in the county government office of Linjing County, and our county magistrate is afraid that you will suffer from the fatigue of the horses and horses, so we are here. Let us prepare some carriages and send you to the capital."
Chen Yu felt a little interesting, and said with a smile, "Your county magistrate is quite good at doing business."
One for fame and one for profit is just right.
The yamen servant also smiled, "Everyone gets what they need."
"I don't know this Xiaolian, would you like it?" Then the yamen servant asked Chen Yu.
Since it can be used as a carriage, Chen Yu will naturally not walk on two legs foolishly, so Chen Yu said to the yamen servant, "Of course you can."
The yamen servant showed a hint of joy, "Chen Xiaolian, I don't know when you will be free, please come with me to the county yamen to verify your identity."
Chen Yu thought for a while, and he didn't have anything to do here, so he said to the yamen servant, "I can do it now, but I have to wait a bit, I'll go buy some pastries."
As for the pedestrians passing by, because they saw many such scenes during this period, no one came to join in the fun, they just passed by to have a look.
"Chen Xiaolian, you go first, I'll wait for you here." The yamen servant said hastily.
After Chen Yu walked into the store, a clerk greeted him, UU reading www. uukanshu. com "I don't know what the young master wants? The pastries of our Fupingzhai are well-known throughout the Daliang Dynasty, and they were paid tribute to the palace the year before last."
Chen Yu looked around, chose three flavors, and said to the waiter, pack these three in one box for me.
"Yes, my son."
After handing the packaged pastries to Chen Yu, the clerk said to Chen Yu, "Young Master, welcome to come again next time."
Chen Yu paused, and suddenly asked the clerk, "By the way, do you know the yamen servant outside?"
Although the possibility of someone blatantly posing as a yamen servant in broad daylight is very small, but for safety reasons, Chen Yu decided to confirm it.
After hearing Chen Yu's words, the man stretched his neck to look out, and said to Chen Yu, "I know him, I have seen him many times during this time, this guy is here to pick up people from other places in Linjing County. The ones who are rushing to take the exam in Beijing."
"Originally, he had a few companions guarding the entrance of the town. Because the exam time was approaching, most of the juren had already arrived, so in order to avoid wasting manpower, he was allowed to receive the rest of the juren by himself."
Speaking of this, the buddy cupped his hands to Chen Yu, "Unexpectedly, you are still a candidate who came to Beijing to rush for the exam. I will congratulate you in advance for being named on the gold list."
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Thank you Jiyan."
Walking out of Fupingzhai, Chen Yu said to the servant who was still waiting, "Let's go."
"Okay, Xiaolian is here."
"How far is it from your county government?"
The yamen servant thought for a while, "This small town is not too far from the county yamen. Depending on the speed of the footsteps, it may take about a quarter of an hour to half an hour."
Chen Yu nodded, indicating that he knew.
