Ji Ning didn't want to behave like a decent gentleman in front of Nalan Blowing Snow, anything he had with his maid was taken for granted in this era, just like the tacit relationship between Jia Baoyu and Qingwen, although Nalan Blowing Snow was lonely since childhood, she finally had the background of an official eunuch, and she would not be surprised by this kind of thing.

Let her be weird, she doesn't have that kind of wisdom, because Nalan Blowing Snow itself is a little confused.

At this time, Nalan Blowing Snow, who was outside the window, was thinking: "That girl is Ji Ning's little maid, right?" What did she come to Ji Ning's room for? It's really annoying, I can't continue to discuss with Ji Ning the arrangements after she arrives in the capital...... How did she go? Why does she look a little lost? ”

Yuling left, and Nalan Fuxue was embarrassed to go in again, so he left the inn.

Early the next morning, Yu Ling climbed into his carriage very early, Ji Ning didn't ask more, the convoy went out in the direction of the capital, the team had more than a dozen carriages, it can also be said to be mighty, Ji Ning's salute here is already very little, Tang Xie and others are almost dragging their families, after arriving in the capital, they are not ready to live in the inn, but are ready to find a house to live, for the convenience of living, the group is also discussing to find a few adjacent houses to settle down, and even plan to let Ji Ning go with them to rent a yard.

At lunchtime, Tang Xie mentioned this problem again: "...... Yongning, you see that we can live together can also be more convenient, in the future, it is also an elegant thing to chant poems to enjoy the flowers and ask the moon, if you live too far, there are things to ask for on weekdays, it is always inconvenient to meet! ”

Ji Ning said: "I live in the inn, just for convenience, after all, there are only two of our master and servant, and it will be a little inappropriate if you are hospitalized!" ”

"Yongning, let's do it, we will make a decision after we get to the capital, even if you insist on staying in an inn, in the end we will find a few adjacent inns, so that it will be more convenient for us to be together!" Han Yu suddenly added.

Ji Ningden was a little embarrassed, and thought, who wants to be with you, I live in an inn with the little maid, although the flow of people is a little complicated, but I can finally have a place to stay, and it must be safer than living in an inn?

In the end, Ji Ning didn't settle down, and a few people were not reluctant, and discussed some arrangements after arriving in the capital.

Tang Xie and Han Yu, after all, have already participated in a meeting test, and they have some understanding of the situation in the capital, and they still don't know a lot about the environment of the capital when they came last time, but now their situation is much better, and even before entering the capital, they have already arranged some plans for food, clothing, housing and transportation after entering the capital, and Ji Ning has always been a little inferior in this regard.

Ji Ning can be the leader in talent and learning, and he can also be superior in calculation, but he doesn't have some experience, he just doesn't, he hasn't been to the capital, that is, he hasn't been there, he can't always know all the environment in the capital before entering the capital, he can only judge some troubles that may be encountered first, and after arriving in the capital, it is more about seeing the tricks and taking a step at a time.

……

……

At noon, the group did not rest for a long time, walking sixty miles a day, it was still very hurried in this year, even on the almost flat road near the capital, it would not be so smooth.

In addition to checking the responsibility of passers-by to maintain law and order in the capital, their task is to collect some harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes for entering and leaving the city.

Before reaching the city gate, basically a merchant will be stripped of three layers, if the city gate tax is added, the cost of general goods crossing the city gate will increase by three to fifty percent.

But on this day, the officers and soldiers searched not only the merchants who came and went, but also many ordinary people who were dragged aside to search, and even the female dependents had to be dragged aside for a long time.

"What's going on?" Because the team stopped, Ji Ning jumped out of the carriage and asked the coachman in front.

"Ji Gongzi, I heard that the officers and soldiers are searching for the party in front, there may be some trouble on the official road, seeing that it is sunset and dusk, if you can't get to the capital before dark, I'm afraid you can only stay in an inn outside the city, which is a bit troublesome!" The old coachman said in a hurry.

These coachmen were just found in the local area after they went ashore on the Grand Canal, and they are also considered to be the capital passes, and it is very convenient to ask them about anything, and they can also know many secrets that outsiders do not know.

Ji Ning asked, "What kind of chaos is it?" ”

"I don't know, it's a matter of the government, where do we dare to ask more, this son, you are also a candidate who went to the capital to catch the exam, right? It stands to reason that your car will be fine, even if you are searching people, as long as it is the car of the master, they will deal with it, but it is better to give some passing money as a reward! The old coachman said.

Ji Ning didn't say anything more, he got into the carriage and continued to wait.

The vehicle was moving very slowly, and after about half an hour, the group finally arrived at the place where the checkpoints were checked, and the officers and men were very arrogant, and they were about to shout and kill when they came up, and perhaps they also regarded the convoy and their party as businessmen who went north to do business, and their attitude immediately changed when they knew that these people were from Jinling City.

People with literary names are different from those without literary names, the social status of Shinong industry and commerce is unchanged, Ji Ning and others are already the scholar class, and these officers and soldiers are at most just sandwiched between Shinong.

After knowing the identities of Ji Ning and the others, the search of these people was more akin to perfunctory, and after a hurried investigation, Ji Ning returned to the carriage, and Yu Ling got out of the carriage without even asking, and let him go.

It's easy to pass the checkpoint, but no one makes up for the delay, and you can't enter the capital before dark, and the city gate will be closed.

When Ji Ning looked at the closed city gate, he had a feeling of admiration, the huge capital city, he couldn't even enter the door, even if he had a guide and official credentials, it was useless.

"If you don't know, you really think that these officers and soldiers are in the same group as the inn outside the city, huh!" Xie Tai said a word, and Ji Ning followed his gaze and looked at the guys who were welcoming guests in some inns outside the city, and Ji Ning was also a little helpless.

They are already under the feet of the capital, but they can't enter the city, there will always be some nests, and the feeling of living outside the city and inside the city gate is also different.

"Yongning, let's stay for the time being, we can't turn back again, we should be able to enter the city early tomorrow morning!" Tang Xie came over and said a word, and began to arrange for the convoy to go to the surrounding inns.

Several people are also considered to be the scholar class, and they will find clean and decent ones when looking for inns, especially the style, Tang Xie and others are also people who are willing to spend money, after all, they only go to Beijing to take the exam once in three years, and they don't want to treat themselves too badly.
