In the end, An Chuxia still didn't twist Mu Tan and was taken off his shoes and socks.

I saw two watery blisters on her thumb and little finger.

This time, Mu Tan showed no mercy, took out a silver needle from the medical box, and pierced a halve on the blister very accurately, and broke the blister and smeared it with medicine.

Mu Tan didn't make any extra moves, and after dealing with it cleanly, he was about to take the silver needle and medicine back to the medical box, but was stopped by An Chuxia, "Lend me this first, Miaomiao's feet may also have blisters, I'll go and deal with it for her." ”

Mu Tan nodded and handed her the things.

It rained heavily for two days and two nights, and the sun finally came out today.

The morning sun gradually rose, the air was soaked in the scent of green grass, and the chirping of birds on the branches of the trees became moving.

The horses were eating the grass beautifully.

An Jinchen cooked meat porridge in a ceramic jar, and served it with the mixed dough cakes that he bought from that family last night, and this was their breakfast today.

At this time, there was meat porridge to eat, and fortunately, An Chuxia wanted to stay in the examination room for a long time in the township examination room in the early summer.

I heard the teacher tell them about the environment of eating, drinking and sleeping after entering the examination room, and the meals served are very casual, not everyone can eat and eat to their heart's content.

In order to have the physical strength to continue the exam, it is better to prepare some food for yourself and bring it in.

Not to mention a place to sleep, a board, a desk for exams during the day. At night, the wooden plank where they sit is where the candidates sleep.

After hearing this, An Chuxia thought of making something that could be stored for a long time and can also fight hunger.

If you want to meet these two conditions, it has to be meat.

It can be cooked into meat rice, and it can also be cooked into meat porridge, even if it is a snack to eat, it is also good, and jerky is the best choice.

In ancient times, it was not allowed to kill cattle casually, it was impossible to make beef jerky, and the meat of domestic pigs was too fat, and the most suitable was wild boar with coarse fiber.

So after An Chuxia returned home from Songjiang Mansion, he carried a sharpened firewood knife, went to the mountains to look for a few days, hunted a wild boar and came back, and made it all into jerky enough for them to eat on the way back and forth.

After An Chuxia came over to help Gu Fangmiao's feet break the blisters, the two of them went to the small river not far away to clean it.

Everyone sat down together and began to eat breakfast.

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao ate half a cake and drank a bowl of porridge.

The remaining men finished the mixed bread and quickly washed their utensils and got into the carriage.

Only then did he hurry up and rush towards the provincial capital.

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao were asked by everyone to sleep and rest in the carriage as much as possible, because they were going to start searching and entering the examination room tonight.

There wasn't much time left for the two of them to rest.

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao also understood that after getting into the carriage, they covered the quilt they brought and fell asleep quickly.

Ling Yun knew that the girl surnamed An inside was the person his master had a crush on, so he didn't dare to take it lightly and tried his best to drive the carriage steadily and quickly.

Mu Tan was not idle, he knew some things to be used in the imperial examination.

I was afraid that the time was too short, so I checked the two girls in the examination basket to see if the items to be used during the scientific examination were all prepared.

After reading it, as expected, the paper, ink, pen, inkstone, and other items needed for the imperial examination were well prepared.

Looks like they've already been checked.

That person is none other than Gu Tongsheng, who else can make the things to be used in the imperial examination so fine, even the brush has prepared two for each of them.

No more will be allowed to be brought in.

Mu Tan put the test basket back and saw An Jinchen and Runsong both lying on the carriage resting, and he also leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes.

Because everyone didn't sleep all night last night, and the next road carriage was driven by several men in turn.

Ling Yun and Ling Feng also felt that An Jinchen and Runsong were good.

As for Mu Tan, it is not appropriate for the two to evaluate~

Maybe I was too tired last night, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao didn't wake up from their sleep at noon, except for An Jinchen and Runsong, who were driving the car, no one else had to stop to eat.

It wasn't until the afternoon that everyone stopped to have a hot meal at a small town noodle restaurant passing by, and bought some food to eat on the way.

I also bought two horses a bag of grass-mixed bean cake mix.

After continuing on the road, An Chuxia's heart was half cold, because according to the time of the journey, they were already too late.

It's just that everyone has worked hard for so long, and no one has said anything to give up.

Whether you are in time or not, you have to go to the provincial capital this time.

After dark, Gu Fangmiao leaned her head on An Chuxia's shoulder, and a few tears soaked into her clothes.

An Chuxia gently patted Gu Fangmiao's back and comforted: "It's okay, Sister An will accompany Miaomiao to take the exam next year."

Next year, let's take the test and go back, and the teacher will definitely be happier! ”

Gu Fangmiao sniffed, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Sister An, do you know?

My father died shortly after I was born, and my mother left me to go back to my grandfather's house, where I was raised by my grandfather and grandmother.

They not only want me to be happy, but they also want me to be able to stand up to the lintel of the Gu family.

My grandfather once said that even if I didn't become an official, he hoped that I would be able to make a name for myself and open a college like Evergreen Academy.

In this way, it will not fall, and the reputation of the ancestors of the Gu family will be lost. ”

Gu Fangmiao raised her arm and wiped her tears, "I know that my grandfather gave up the scientific expedition, and I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Gu family in my heart for so many years.

I have always wanted to fulfill this wish for my grandfather, enlightenment at the age of three, and this year's sixteen, a full thirteen years of hard work.

I didn't even enter the exam room like this, so how can I be willing. ”

An Chuxia didn't expect that she usually looked at the heartless little girl, and she also had such a heavy burden in her heart, so she gently patted and comforted her distressedly.

Runsong, who was sitting in front of the carriage, was even more distressed, and his whole heart was aching, the little girl was so sensible at a young age, how could she not be pitied.

The carriage finally arrived at the gate of the provincial capital in the middle of the night, looking at the high city walls and the tightly closed gates.

Everyone's faces were quite ugly, and even if they arrived, the closed gates would not be easily opened at night.

An Jinchen was about to kick the city gate, but was stopped by Runsong.

If you kick the city gate for no reason, it's okay for the guards guarding the city gate not to care, and if you encounter a bad temper who comes out and beats you, you have to bear it.

However, Runsong pulled An Jinchen away, and the city gate was still kicked with a bang.

Everyone looked in amazement at the young man who kicked the city gate, the young man who was driving the carriage.

The guards who were watching the city gate inside were finally woken up by such a loud voice, and they scolded and climbed up the city gate tower with a lantern, and looked down at An Chuxia and their group.

He shouted in a very bad tone: "Get out, knock on the city gate in the middle of the night, Lao Tzu will go out and beat you, and there is nowhere to reason." ”

Ling Yun, who was dressed as a middle-aged coachman, didn't say much to the soldiers who were watching the city gate, and seemed to flick it lightly, and a piece of black gold token melted into the night and smashed accurately on the soldiers' foreheads.
