Chapter 154: Arrival

"yes, I see." Zhao Kangcheng replied very perfunctorily.

Cai Xiaoxiao listened and pouted: Anyway, whether Zhao Kangcheng wants it or not, she just needs to change it by herself strongly. Fortunately, the snow is not very heavy, otherwise it would be really troublesome to even hurry.

When the two came to the exit of the town, they unexpectedly saw the Zheng family's carriage also stopped at the exit, and they were thinking that which one of the Zheng family was going out of the town, but they saw Zheng Yi poking his head out of the carriage and waving to Zhao Kangcheng who was sitting outside and shouting: "Brother Zhao!" ”

When Zhao Kangcheng saw him, he was a little surprised, stopped the carriage, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao heard Zheng Yi's voice, lifted the curtain, leaned out of the carriage, looked at Zheng Yi, and asked, "Are you here to see us off?" ”

"What a send-off, I'm waiting for you." Zheng Yi said while waving his hand. As he waved, a servant who seemed to be from the Zheng family walked over, then jumped into Zhao Kangcheng's carriage, took the reins from Zhao Kangcheng's hand, and sat down.

Zhao Kangcheng and Cai Xiaoxiao watched his series of actions, and after listening to Zheng Yi's words, the two looked at him with a confused expression: "What do you mean?" Waiting for us? Do what? "The tacit understanding between the couple is a perfect embodiment.

"Of course, I'm waiting for you to go to the capital together." Zheng Yi said.

"What?" Zhao Kangcheng and Cai Xiaoxiao looked at Zheng Yi with a surprised expression, "Let's go to the capital together?" ”

"You're going to the capital too?" Cai Xiaoxiao asked him.

"Hmm!" Zheng Yi nodded with a smile.

"What are you doing in the capital?" Zhao Kangcheng frowned and asked.

"Of course, I went to the imperial examination like you." Zheng Yi spread his hands, "My mother wants me to go, saying that even if I can't mix in the top three, it's okay to mix in the top 30." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Kangcheng and Cai Xiaoxiao were both stunned, and Cai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but complain: "Aren't your family generations of businessmen?" Why did you suddenly remember to participate in the imperial examination? Besides, you're a temporary cramler, let alone the top 30, I'm afraid the top 300 may not be the same, right? ”

"Say what? I've been preparing it since a year ago! Zheng Yi said dissatisfied.

"A year ago?" Cai Xiaoxiao was even more surprised, "Why haven't I heard you mention it before?" ”

"What is there to mention about this kind of thing?" Zheng Yi turned his head and said, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng glanced at each other and said that they were still a little incredulous.

Zheng Yi saw that they still didn't believe it, so he helplessly explained: "It is precisely because our family has been businessmen for generations, so my mother said that she wants our family to have someone who can be an official, there is no way, who makes the status of businessmen in this world the lowest." ”

"I see." The two understood, but, "Isn't your family rich?" If you have money, why don't you buy an official to be a pawn? Cai Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.

After all, in her opinion, it is better to let Zheng Yi take the exam for an official, than to buy an official.

But her words were really a bit amazing, so that Zhao Kangcheng couldn't help but look at her: "Little? ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Cai Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Kangcheng with big innocent eyes.

Looking at her big eyes, Zhao Kangcheng couldn't say anything even if he wanted to, so he had to smile dotingly: "It's nothing." ”

"Oh." Cai Xiaoxiao also believed it stupidly.

Zheng Yi said: "Sister-in-law, do you think I look like that kind of person? It's illegal to buy an official or something, and besides, what's so good about being an official, I don't want me to be on the list at all. ”

"Hehe...... "Even if you want to win, you may not be able to win." Cai Xiaoxiao complained in her heart.

Since they were together, they had to go together, and with Zheng Yi's people, there was no need for Zhao Kangcheng to drive the carriage himself. Cai Xiaoxiao didn't take the things that warmed Zhao Kangcheng before, but gave them to the servant instead, while Zhao Kangcheng got into the carriage and sat with Cai Xiaoxiao to keep each other warm.

Zheng Yi also came over, saying that it was very lonely to be alone in a car, so he ran to Zhao Kangcheng and said that they could chat together along the way, completely ignoring the disgusted eyes of Zhao Kangcheng and Cai Xiaoxiao looking at him.

The snowflakes kept falling, but they didn't get bigger, so Cai Xiaoxiao and their journey was smooth, and when it was evening, a group of people found an inn nearby and stayed.

I thought the snow would stop the next day, but I didn't expect the snow to fall heavily in the middle of the night, and the next day, the snow stopped and stopped, but there was already a thick layer of snow on the road.

"What now?" Zheng Yi asked Zhao Kangcheng and Cai Xiaoxiao, "Do you want to continue on your journey?" ”

"I don't know." Cai Xiaoxiao said she didn't know. Looking at the thickness of the snow, she felt that it would be difficult for the wheels to walk on it, she looked at Zhao Kangcheng, "Xianggong, what should I do?" Do you want to stay another day or continue? ”

Zhao Kangcheng stepped forward to carefully check the thickness of the snow, looked up at the sky again, thought about it, and said, "Keep going, look at this sunshine, the snow should melt by noon, so there will be no problem." ”

Since Zhao Kangcheng said so, there should be no problem, Cai Xiaoxiao said: "Then let's go." ”

Zheng Yi saw that they had no intention of staying, so they could only follow.

So the group got into the carriage and continued on their way.

Sure enough, as Zhao Kangcheng said, by noon, although the snow on the road had not completely melted, at least it did not affect their hurry.

Yesterday's snow was supposed to be the last snow of the year, and it never snowed since. It's been a lot of stormy days.

A month later, the three finally arrived in the capital.

"Wow! Is this the capital? "Looking at the capital through the car window, although I have seen what the capital is like on TV or when I went to the Forbidden City in Beijing before, but when I experience it in this ancient and completely antique capital, the feeling is completely different! It can be said that it is even more shocking.

Zhao Kangcheng had only been to the capital at that time, and Cai Xiaoxiao had never been to the capital, so he would naturally be shocked when he came to the capital for the first time.

"By the way, Xianggong, when will you try?" Having enjoyed enough of the scenery of the capital, Cai Xiaoxiao thought of this and asked.

"Ten days later." Zhao Kangcheng estimated the day and said.

"Huh? Isn't that very fast! No, you have to find an inn to stay in so that you can review early. Cai Xiaoxiao said, and then began to search for nearby inns.

"Don't worry, I used to stay in an inn when I came here before, and this time I would just go to that inn, not far ahead." Zhao Kangcheng said with a smile.
