Yansheng Mansion is indeed a good place, Hu Ye feels very comfortable staying here, he didn't dream all night, and even sleeping seemed to be surrounded by a kind of scholarly atmosphere.

Tsing Yi seems to have fallen in love with this place, she has always gone to bed early and got up early, but the next day she actually slept lazily, and it was Saren who got up after her. In fact, Hu Ye knew that Tsing Yi was tired, and these days, he had a good night's sleep in this Yan Shenggong Mansion.

So Hu Ye suddenly felt that it might be wrong to bring Tsing Yi out at the beginning, maybe she should belong to Beiping and shouldn't go south with her. But it's too late to send her back.

Saren's adaptability is much stronger than that of Tsing Yi, probably because he often migrates back and forth between the grassland and the desert, and he was chattering in Hu Ye's ear early in the morning, saying what good places Kong Gongduo took them to see yesterday.

Lao Qian was a lot quieter, he got up early and went to take care of the carriage, Hongchen and the horse pulling the carriage he had to take care of himself, he was afraid that others would not be able to take care of him, I don't know when it started, anyway, now if he doesn't feed it a few times a day, Lao Qian will be uncomfortable.

Kong Gongduo and Kong Gongjian heard that their father was going to Nanjing in person, and their legs trembled with fright. There are nearly 1,000 miles to go to Nanjing, and as far as their father's body is concerned, they are very worried about what kind of accident will happen, and the consequences are really unimaginable, so they dissuaded them for a long time.

Hu Ye hoped that the dissuasion of the two brothers would work, so that he could feel more at ease when he went to Nanjing. But when they heard that Conne had galloped on horseback in the courtyard in front of the two brothers, the two brothers immediately shut up.

In fact, not only did the two brothers shut up, but even Hu Ye threw himself on the ground for the five bodies that the current Yan Shenggong admired. Even in the 21st century, an old man in his seventies is not squatting at home to enjoy pure happiness, where can he still run wild on horseback, and he is not afraid of falling apart.

I heard that after Kong Ne got off the horse, he also ate a few large pieces of fatty meat, and it is estimated that there are few teeth. Can't eat lean meat.

Therefore, Kong Ne's trip to Nanjing with Hu Ye this time is an ironclad matter, this is a big deal, and the entire Yansheng Mansion is busy. Prepare the carriage for the carriage, pack the luggage, and bring the special chef of Yan Shenggong, for fear that Yan Shenggong will not be used to eating the dishes there when he arrives in Nanjing. The horses should also be the strongest in the house, and the carriages should also have special shock absorbers.

So originally Hu Ye went to Nanjing with four people, but now the team has grown to more than a dozen people all of a sudden.

Hu Ye looked at the mighty team in front of him, and only then did he know the essence of the family, the dozen or so people who accompanied him. All of them are good players, although they are not as good as Lao Qian, but even when they are in the army, they are one in a hundred.

Look at the horse again, the mane is strong and powerful, and the eyes are very sharp, even if it is not as good as his own red dust, it is also a good horse in a hundred. Then compared the carriage, Hu Ye hated to dismantle his carriage, it was too cold.

The sun rises early in July. It may be that it is too dry, there is very little water vapor in the air, and the effect on sunlight is much smaller. So the sun in the morning is so dazzling, and the sun is already warm on the face.

Hu Ye and Lao Qian waited for about a stick of incense in the sun. Kong Ne walked out of the mansion slowly, followed by a servant about fifty years old, who seemed to have followed Kong Ne since childhood.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw a huge procession in front of the door. was stunned for a moment, and then said with some annoyance, "The old man is going to Nanjing to face the saint." Didn't you go to war, and you need such a big battle? So many people eat and drink on the road, I don't know how much it costs, this silver is enough for those refugees outside to eat a full meal, do you two unfilial sons want the old man to be a sinner for the ages! ”

Kong Gongduo and Kong Gongjian had cold sweat on their foreheads, in previous years, their father went to Nanjing for such a battle, but they haven't been there for five years, and it's about to change.

"Dad, you are going to Nanjing, you have to trek through mountains and rivers, the food in Nanjing is not used to eating, and the road is not safe, these people are already the least people I have discussed with my eldest brother and selected." Kong Gongduo said stiffly.

"Hmph, I'm all withdrawn, I'll go to Nanjing this time, and I'll only take Ah Fu alone." Kong Ne let out a loud shout, and what he said almost scared his two sons to death.

Although this Ah Fu has been with Kong Ne for forty years, how can a person compare with these dozen subordinates, if he meets a homeless person or something on the road, or a bandit or something, then how can it be good.

So the two old sons had no choice but to admonish them, but Kong Ne had already made up his mind, saying that Hu Ye's three little dolls could go all the way south, and they would definitely be safer after they went together, so Kong Ne resolutely rejected the bitter advice of the two sons.

It was the first time that Hu Ye had been regarded as a positive teaching material, and he couldn't help but feel that this Kong Ne was still good. But his two sons were fierce and abnormal, pulled Hu Ye down, and warned viciously that if something happened to their father, they would pick up Hu Ye's skin.

Hu Ye had been threatened a lot, of course he didn't care about the threats of these two old pedants, and then he took Kong Ne and started walking towards the south.

Kong Ne was able to listen to the persuasion of others, and finally brought a carriage with him, and did not grab the carriage with Saren and Tsing Yi. So Hu Ye often ran back and forth between the two carriages and Hongchen's back, chatting with Kong Ne for a while, telling stories to Saren and the two girls for a while, and looking at the scenery on Hongchen's back.

"Boy, where have you gone now?"

When Hu Ye ran into Kong Ne's carriage again, Kong Ne suddenly asked.

This is already the fifth day of their departure, and after five days of chatting, Kong Ne is no longer called Hu Ye Gongzi, but calls him a boy, and the more he calls, the more smooth he becomes.

"Huiyan Shenggong, you should be able to reach Huai'an Mansion at noon, Yangzhou Mansion in two days, and Nanjing in early August." Hu Ye replied respectfully.

Kong Ne hummed, then lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the sky outside, and then gently lowered the curtain and asked Hu Ye, "Boy, are you in a hurry to Nanjing?" ”

Hu Ye didn't know why this Kong Ne asked like this, but he still answered truthfully, "Urgency must be urgent, if you arrive in Nanjing one day earlier, you will have one more day to review your homework, and the probability of winning the examination will be one point greater." It's the end of July now, and it's only been more than ten days before the start of the imperial examination. ”

Kong Ne looked at Hu Ye for a while, and then said to the outside of the carriage, "Ah Fu, stop when you arrive at Huai'an Mansion in the afternoon, rest in Huai'an Mansion tonight, and hurry again tomorrow." ”

"Yes, sir." Ah Fu's voice came in, which made Hu Ye a little annoyed.

Originally, if you go to Huai'an Mansion at noon, you can have a full meal and rush in the afternoon, and you can also rush to the boundary of Yangzhou.

But this old man actually had to rest in Huai'an for a day, and he had to play a day late to get to Nanjing. Originally, you can rest, let's understand that your old man's body may not be able to bear it, but can you not make a decision without asking for my opinion, as if you said that you are short of time is equivalent to not saying it.

"Boy, are you annoyed that I delayed you for half a day?" After Kong Ne finished instructing Ah Fu, he said to Hu Ye with a smile.

Hu Ye was very annoyed, but he didn't dare to get angry with Yan Shenggong in person, so he could only reply with a smile, "Where is Yan Shenggong, it just so happens that I am also tired, so let's take a good rest in Huai'an." ”

"Hmph, don't you think I don't know, your eyes have betrayed you a long time ago." Conne snorted coldly.

Hu Ye had to smile awkwardly, is his acting skills really so bad?

"You don't have to worry, when you arrive in Nanjing, the old man will repair a book, you can take it and hand it to Wang Wei, that old boy was still my student back then, let him dial a little bit of you." Kong Ne said slowly.

Hu Ye immediately put on a smile, this letter from the Holy Father of Yan is terrible, although he has Li Yangming's letter to Wang Wei in his arms, but after all, they are just friends, and they haven't seen each other for many years, so Wang Wei can at most meet with him, and then say a few polite words.

But the face of this Yan Shenggong is different, and he is still Wang Wei's teacher, which is probably worth Wang Wei's attention to face, although it will not leak the exam questions or anything, but it is still okay to reveal a little dispensable information.

So Hu Ye felt that this half day was worth it, and immediately chatted with Kong Ne again, and the angry Kong Ne scolded Hu Ye for being a budget-conscious businessman. (To be continued......)
