Hu Yanjin apprenticed to the master for thirteen days, and was with the master and sister every day, sometimes with the active and enthusiastic junior brother, and there was a master next to him who changed the law to make good food, which made him suddenly feel like he had a home.

Happiness is always short-lived, no matter how long it is delayed, Hu Yanjin should also go to South James Mansion to report.

After Emperor Yongle moved the capital to the northern capital of Shuntianfu, the southern capital Yingtianfu still had a full set of teams, but in fact, the center of gravity of power has moved northward, and many institutions have become degraded and old-age places.

South Jameshouse is similar, a point of contact. But after all, he is an official of the imperial court, and he has obtained the appointment letter of the emperor's grandson, and he has to come to register for a book, otherwise where will you go to get the money?

After Hu Yanjin finished practicing, while packing up his things, he said to the master: "Master, I will set off to Yingtianfu early the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow, I want to go to the southern suburbs of the tile field to pull some tiles back and help you mend the roof." ”

Fortunately, it didn't rain during this time, or the master's house would have leaked.

"Tomorrow the school will be closed, and I will go to Wachang with Brother Huyan!" Hua Rong didn't listen to the lecture at all in the past few days, and he was always thinking about learning martial arts with Hu Yanjin. In comparison, he preferred Hu Yanjin's silver silk soft whip, which was much taller than throwing stones.

Although Daddy also taught Huarong martial arts and flying stones, he began to study at the age of five and had very little time at home. If I were at home like my sister all day long, learning and practicing more, I would definitely be better at kung fu than her. Hua Rong thinks so every time she loses with her sister.

Hua Youcai nodded and said, "Then you will go to the car tomorrow, and Hua Rong will go to get the silver from your mother." ”

"Don't go Huarong, how much is it worth to buy a few tiles? I apprenticed to learn art, and you didn't confiscate my six rites and cultivation, so I will do my best to honor your old man. Hu Yanjin said with a grin.

The next day was a sunny day.

When Hu Yanjin arrived at the master's house, Hua Rong had already set up the car. Seeing Hu Yanjin riding a horse, Hua Rong hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Huyan, I'm riding a horse, are you driving a car?" ”

"What's wrong with that?" Hu Yanjin said with a smile. His horse is called "Wuyun", he is thirteen years old, still in the prime of life, has accompanied him for ten years, and has the most docile personality.

When Hu Yanjin got into the carriage, a head suddenly poked out of the carriage and laughed quietly: "Brother Huyan, I invite you to eat three Ding buns!" ”

Yangzhou's three Ding Bao materials are the most exquisite, chickens should be used in the next year, both fat and tender; The diced meat should be made of five-flowered ribs, and the fat is moderate; Bamboo shoots should also be made with fresh bamboo shoots in season. Yesterday, Yun Niang got good bamboo shoots, so she remembered to make three bags.

"Why are you going? Doing heavy work is a man's business, and the tile field is very dirty. Why don't you wait at home for us to come back? Even if Hu Yanjin accepted a bribe from Sandingbao, he still honestly and unceremoniously persuaded Hua Qiao to go down.

Hua Qiao hurriedly made a silent movement, her eyes rolled slightly, and she whispered to him: "There is an important reason why I went...... Hurry up, go quickly, and when Daddy finds out, I won't be able to leave! ”

Hu Yanjin knew that it was useless for this person to persuade him, so he smiled helplessly, and gently pulled the reins, and the carriage went to Fulu Street.

"Brother Huyan, you see that this is late spring and early summer, how can such a beautiful time be wasted at home, right?" The carriage left the house, and the buckwheat spoke loudly.

"That's why you're important?"

"Doesn't that matter?"

Seeing her triumphant appearance, Hu Yanjin secretly hoped in his heart that Hua Qiao would never be troubled by her life experience, and would always be so simple and happy.

When the carriage left the county, Hua Qiao got out of the carriage and sat next to Hu Yanjin, looking around with his eyebrows fluttering. Only then did Hu Yanjin see clearly that Hua Qiao was wearing men's clothes today in order to sneak out to play for convenience.

In Daming, there are ten out of ten girls of Hua Qiao's age, who are locked up at home and do not go out, but they are special girls who have rich families.

Hua Youcai is a small official, eating the food and salary of the county government, and it is not easy to support a family of four, but Yun Niang in addition to the usual weaving cloth sold to the dyeing workshop, her dexterity, or the Baoying embroidery workshop of the outside embroidery, she earns a lot more silver than Hua Youcai.

Therefore, although it is a small official's family, the two children have never felt that the family is poor, and they have grown up wantonly under the care of their parents since they were young.

Hua Youcai still retains the modern idea of equality between men and women, Yun Niang always feels indebted to Hua Qiao, and the couple didn't restrain her much, at most they shouted two sentences, and on the surface, they didn't want to be laughed at by the neighbors.

At this point, Hu Yanjin is a little envious of Hua Qiao and Hua Rong.

They were empty, walking fast, and soon, the two of them heard Hua Rong on horseback talking to the person in the carriage in front of them. It turned out that it was Xu Zhijin in the car in front.

"Sister, it's Second Brother Xu and Third Brother Xu, they're going to Yangzhou to go to private school!" Hua Rong shouted to her sister in the car behind.

On the way out of the city, he could meet buckwheat, and Xu Zhijin was really an unexpected surprise.

He was complaining that the eldest brother regarded himself like a prisoner, and he didn't even have a chance to sneak out and say goodbye. The last time I saw Hua Qiao, it was in the county office, and the last time I said about his friends, I haven't been able to ask clearly.

Xu Zhijin hurriedly leaned out of the window with half of his body and beckoned to the buckwheat behind him. Hu Yanjin saw it and added a whip to drive the carriage faster and let them get closer.

"Third Brother Xu, this is going to Yangzhou? You have to study hard, and if you order the champion in the future, you can be a master of the horse and the glory of the ancestors! That's what storytellers say.

Well? Horse Lord? No, does Hua Qiao think that I changed my mind as soon as I left Baoying? Xu Zhijin hurriedly explained:

"I'm going to go on a scientific expedition, not to recruit relatives, and I don't want to be a colt. Flower buckwheat, I'll be back when the autumn season is over! If you go to Yangzhou, remember to come to me, I will be in Wutong Academy......"

"Don't come to him, my eldest brother won't let him play with you, delaying his studies......" Xu Zhiheng also poked his head out of the window and rushed to say, before he finished speaking, he was covered by Xu Zhijin.

"My mother won't let him ...... You ......" Xu Zhiheng struggled and wanted to say, being dragged into the car by Xu Zhijin, the two scuffled, and the carriage was about to be shaken apart by them.

Hu Yanjin looked at the two brothers interestingly, pulled the reins, and shouted with a smile: "Let's go!" And he drove the carriage ahead of them.

"Have a safe journey! Second Brother Xu, Third Brother Xu, I wish you all come back with a lift! Hua Qiao laughed and shouted at the carriage that had been left behind.

Xu Zhijin wanted to stretch out his head to answer, but he was entangled by the second brother again...... Xu Zhijin finally understood now, the second brother didn't go to the exam, he must have received the eldest brother's money, specifically to monitor him!

Then they turned a corner at the intersection in front, and they parted ways with Xu Zhijin's carriage.
