Ji Ning has already discussed the plan to go north with Nalan Blowing Snow, Nalan Blowing Snow will ride a horse and follow not far behind Ji Ning's team, Ji Ning has not arrived anywhere, he will leave a signal for Nalan Blowing Snow, so that Nalan Blowing Snow knows his plan to go north, and where he should rest at the next stop.

Nalan Blowing Snow is by land, but it is also along the Grand Canal, and the itinerary will be different from Ji Ning.

Ji Ning felt that he was more like a father, and he took care of Nalan Blowing Snow's food, clothing, housing and transportation, not only giving her silver, but also helping her find horses, and even buying some basic daily necessities, the strange thing is that Nalan Blowing Snow also felt that these were all justified, and there was no shame in front of Ji Ning, as if Ji Ning owed her.

He was about to set off on the morning of the sixth day of October, Ji Ning didn't fall asleep very early that night, in addition to writing a letter to "Su Pujia", he also sorted out his manuscript, some of the big seals and small seals he wrote before, even if they were not ready to be used, they were ready to be burned, so as not to question him after he left, others would question him after getting these things. What he needs to do now is to be a relatively low-key person and successfully complete the examination, his mind of not wanting to serve the court has not changed, he just wants to live in peace and happiness and make achievements in the Temple of Literature, but he doesn't like to intrigue with others in the court.

"Young master, the slave has prepared everything that should be prepared, you can rest first!" Yu Ling appeared timidly in front of Ji Ning, and the little girl fiddled with the corners of her clothes, obviously thinking a little bit about it.

If Ji Ning rests early, she will have the opportunity to go over to drill the quilt, if Ji Ning doesn't even go back to the room, she can only go back to the room to sleep honestly.

Ji Ning said: "I will fall asleep very late tonight, you rest first, and I will rest more to make up for sleep tomorrow in the carriage." It's going to be hard work. ”

"Oh." Yu Ling answered, and went back to the room sullenly.

Ji Ning picked up the manuscripts on the table and continued to choose, which ones should be carried, which ones should be burned, and which ones should be stored, all of which need to be classified. He had done some before, but the most around a reader was the manuscript, if he didn't even bring the manuscript, Ji Ning would feel that he was not a competent reader.

He also vaguely hoped that if Shangguan Wan'er was still in Jinling City, she should come over to see him that night, and many things always needed to be explained clearly.

Ji Ning is very concerned about Shangguan Wan'er's attitude, if Shangguan Wan'er wants to go back to the altar she said to continue to practice martial arts or Taoism and learning, Ji Ning will not stop him for the time being, because he respects the girl's decision, but he will not let go, because he feels that being responsible for a girl is what a man should do, although the relationship between him and Shangguan Wan'er is far less sincere than that he is with "Su Pujia".

If Shangguan Wan'er asked him to wait, he would continue to wait, there always needs to be a negotiation between the two people, not the same as now, Ji Ning didn't know Shangguan Wan'er's mentality at all, as if Shangguan Wan'er was already indifferent after completing everything, and even the relationship between the two people could remain the same as it was.

Ji Ning believes that this is not a girl's attitude.

……

……

But Shangguan Wan'er didn't come that night, and Ji Ning didn't sort it out until the second half of the night, and when he was holding the manuscript and reading it alone, he didn't realize that it was the middle of the night, so he could only go back to rest.

The next morning, Ji Ning got up very early, He An took people to help clean up, Yu Ling put all the baggage that should be taken on the carriage first, there were a total of three carriages in a line, the first one was taken by Ji Ning, Yu Ling was left in the second car, and the third car was to transport some boxes, there were four coachmen, two of whom were domestic servants found by Tang Jie, and the remaining two were hired by Ji Ning himself, and there was a good response on the road.

"Master Ji, my lord said, wait at the Yun'an Pavilion in the north of the city, and we'll take you over!" The servants of the Tang Mansion came very early, not only to help carry them, but also to explain Tang Jie's explanation very clearly.

Ji Ning nodded, because after going north, it was only a dozen miles away from the river, and he was about to change to a boat, and then to the north, he almost traveled by boat all the way, and the carriage on the road was also to be hired temporarily, so the groom was only a little useful when he walked the first section of the road. After arriving at the ship, because they were all relatively large ships, Ji Ning couldn't charter a whole boat at once, and the five people in the company only had three boats in total, and everyone's luggage had to be with him all the time.

got into the carriage, originally He An said that he wanted to come up to see him off, but Ji Ning also asked him to go back: "Uncle An, after I leave, the family will all depend on you, communication is inconvenient, you can handle many things yourself." I won't be back until March or April at the earliest next year, so I'll be able to leave everything to me. ”

"Whatever the young master said, this is the honor of the old slave, the young master can rest assured that he will go, no matter what, the old slave will guard this door!" He An is very loyal, which also makes Ji Ning feel very pleased.

The carriage began to set off, and Yu Ling also wanted to come over and ride in the same carriage with Ji Ning, but there was always only a master and servant between the two, and there was also the factor that men and women did not give or receive kisses.

Ji Ning was a little tired, so he first leaned on the soft pillow and fell asleep for a while, and soon arrived at the Yun'an Pavilion in the north of the city.

"Master Ji, it seems to be an officer and soldier, but I don't know if he was passing by or coming to us!" The servant of the Tang Mansion came over and said.

Ji Ning didn't wait for the stool, jumped down from the carriage directly, and looked into the distance, and at this time, in the Yun'an Pavilion, only Xie Tai and Han Yu had arrived, as for Tang Xie and Song Rui, they had not yet arrived.

"Yongning, it doesn't look right." Han Yuying came over and said, "Today this is the third batch of officers and soldiers who have left the city early, and when we went out of the city, we happened to encounter the open city gate, and at that time, there were officers and soldiers entering and exiting the north gate of Jinling City. Yongning had heard of it, or guessed what was going on? ”

Ji Ning thought about it and shook his head sincerely, he couldn't guess what was going on out of thin air.

After a short time, the officers and soldiers passed by the official road, and they all headed in the direction of the ferry, and Ji Ning glanced at it from a distance, still thinking in his heart.

After half an hour, Tang Xie and Song Rui and their entourage also arrived one after another, Ji Ning originally thought that it was already very troublesome for him to travel in three carriages, but he didn't expect that the others were accompanied by four or five carriages.

Except for Ji Ning and a female dependent, the other people brought a lot of family members, but it seems that they did not go to the exam, but went out to be officials, and even the officials did not have such a big pomp.

Tang Xie smiled and said: "Yongning, there are many people on our way, and it is also lively, it is inconvenient to see the relatives, and if you are in the same boat, pay more attention." As for the usual time you can get together to drink and chant poetry, isn't it also very pleasant? ”

In a word, it seems that this is a trip, not an exam, and even Ji Ning feels that the mentality of these people is too slack.
