Ming Xu and Yu Jiayan were the first to think of this problem, the two looked at each other, and then decided to let all the donkey riders and hired carts also take the mule carts of the two of them.

One of the two went to Mingdi, and the other went to Mingyue, and discussed with them about bringing three more mule carts into Beijing.

Mingdi and Mingyue agreed without saying a word, Mingyue asked Xiaoxue and Vanilla, who had combed the woman's head, to pack the carriage together, and Mingdi found Xie, Tao and other female dependents, and asked them to vacate their two mule carts to Mingxu.

Because when the female relatives of the family came to see them off, they took the mule cart that they used to use every day in their family, so Ming Xu and Yu Jiayan planned to vacate the new car for those who went to Beijing with them, and they used the mule cart back to their own family.

Fortunately, their luggage was stacked on top of several separate mule carts, so they didn't have to make a big deal to have people move their luggage around, even if they had to change vehicles temporarily.

After tossing for about two quarters of an hour, the team led by Ming Cheng, Ming Xu brothers, and Yu Jiayan finally set off in a mighty way.

Before they left, Mingdi, Mingyue, Xie and others scavenged all the small silver tickets and scattered silver they carried with them - there were three more mule carts and six small servants in the team that went to Beijing, and people had to be clothed, eaten, and housed, and the mules had to be served with good grass and materials, which all cost silver.

Coupled with a few lifters in their team, although their family background cannot be said to be poor, it is really stressful to bear the cost of their trip to Beijing to catch the exam, otherwise they would not have ridden a donkey or rubbed a car, thinking about saving as much as possible.

According to the consistent practice of the Ming family and the Yu family to be kind to others, if these people are really on the list, Yu Jiayan and the three brothers of Ming Xu will undoubtedly help them with some silver taels, clothes and other things to help them decorate the façade.

After such calculations, it is not very necessary for the Ming family to prepare more money for their own family members who enter Beijing.

A few people, you take a little, I take a little, and soon made up about five hundred taels of silver, Mingdi stuffed this silver to Mingcheng on behalf of everyone, Mingcheng accepted it all very happily - if you don't collect it, you can't do it, he is afraid that there will not be enough money on the road.

Although each of them has a large amount of emergency silver taels, if this emergency silver tael is used for daily expenses, when they really need "emergency", where should they go to raise silver taels?

When he was out of the house and had no relatives, Mingcheng didn't dare to be arrogant and not leave a little behind.

As for Mingyue and the others, who only had some copper plates and small pieces of silver on their bodies, they could rent a few mule carts and rush back to Fucheng, which was ten miles away.

In order to treat everyone as equally as possible, Ming Xu and the others also concentrated all the people who hired cars on the mule carts of the Ming family and the Yu family, so that the mule carts that were originally hired by them to run long distances were not idle.

Although the car dealers who had paid the deposit before the move would definitely not return it to them, they were still very fortunate and happy to be able to leave the huge expenses on the way to the capital.

And although those coachmen were not in a good mood, none of them dared to offend these "noble masters" in their eyes, so in addition to the iron law set by the car dealership of not returning the deposit, they did not dare to ask these repentant men to ask for any fees.

Mingdi, Mingyue and others are all transparent people with bright eyes and hearts, Mingdi not only gave each of those coachmen a large amount of money as a reward, but also hired them to send their families and other men, women and children who came to see off but did not have the means of transportation back to the city.

So after Yu Jiayan and they set off, those people in the Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of Fucheng took a car and a donkey and returned to Fucheng together.

Mingdi is a very responsible person, and he sent his own servants to send them home in person.

His response made the Ming family's reputation in Jingtai Mansion reach a new high.

***

In the seventh month after Mingcheng, Mingxu, Yu Jiayan and others entered Beijing, Mingyue received a letter from Yu Jiayan from Beijing.

The letter said that he and the three brothers of the Ming family had passed the examination and were now preparing for the palace examination.

Mingyue was really happy to see the letter, she took a few children and hurriedly went to Ming's house to share the good news with Old Man Ming and others.

When the four of them arrived, the people of the Ming family were happily gathered in front of Mr. Ming and Mrs. Ming, and when they saw Mingyue and them coming in, Zheng Caixia and others hurriedly got up to greet them.

After the ceremony between the aunts and sisters-in-law, Mingyue smiled and asked if the old man Ming Xu also sent a letter back to the family.

Old Man Ming bowed slightly, and then took all the several letters written back by Ming Xu and others to Mingyue.

Mingyue first read the long letter written by her father, and learned that they were all right, and Mingyue couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

According to Mingcheng, the time for them to enter Beijing is neither early nor late, and the good inns are basically full, and there are really a lot of people who have entered Beijing, so Mingcheng rented a small house in Beijing.

The second house is said to be a house, but it is actually a cross-courtyard separated after someone else's house sealed the moon cave door.

The courtyard was divided into two entrances, and many houses were actually built inside.

Because there are a lot of people from the province who go to Beijing with them, and a small half of these people can't afford to live in an inn, as soon as they arrive in the capital, these people are ready to live in a temple or a small farm yard on the outskirts of the city, so Mingcheng gritted his teeth ruthlessly, and simply rented this two-entry courtyard.

The location of this small courtyard is excellent, not to mention the quiet and convenient life, and it is only a quarter of an hour's drive from the place where they took the exam (Gongyuan).

He placed his family, his mother-in-law, and the servants who served them in a dozen rooms in the backyard, and then placed those who had no money to live in the city in the main house and the east wing in the front yard.

As for the rest of the little servants and the dart masters, Mingcheng placed them with the mule cart and went to a small town on the outskirts of the city.

The town is only about half an hour's drive from the capital, and all the shops in the town are very complete.

Mingcheng rented a second-entry house there, and then hired a local mother-in-law to help these old men cook and clean up the yard.

In order to prevent them from being bored and causing trouble, Ming Cheng made an appointment with the dart masters before, and asked them to teach a few little guys boxing and kicking kung fu every day.

In this way, these people have also been cut by him in disguise to go out of time.

In addition, Mingcheng repeatedly ordered that no alcohol or gambling was allowed, and these people lived extremely peacefully in that small town.
