Chapter 57 The bastard in ancient times who wanted to concentrate on his career 21
"Sign in."
[Congratulations to the host for receiving a copy of the Great Confucian's Notes]
"It's a book again, the Tiandao of this world is still a 'cultured person'."
In the last world, when Yuan Xi wanted nothing, all he got from signing in was money and various treasures. In this world, when Yuan Xi has nothing in mind, all he gets by signing in are books, all kinds of books. Those involved in the world of cultivation include various exercises, various arts of cultivation, spells, customs and diaries. Yuan Xi was shocked when he got it. Who would be a serious person to write a diary?
After reading it, I found that it was written by a powerful person who was about to ascend. The diary ended before the powerful person ascended. Yuan Xi did not know whether there would be successful ascension afterward. But there is a whole storage bag full of jade slips. This powerful person is really good at writing. He writes about everything, such as being scared to death when meeting a demon cultivator for the first time, flirting with a girl and finding out she is a boy, and so on. There are so many things to do. There are also some normal contents, such as where to go to practice, what treasures were found, and training experiences.
The way of heaven is the same, remembering everything.
Yuan Xi condemned it and secretly warned himself never to write a diary. If that powerful man had known that this would happen in the future, he probably wouldn't have written a single word even if he died.
For these books, Yuan Xi also specially cleaned up the library on the second floor of the wooden building and put the original story books into the warehouse. With these new books put in, the library finally looked like a library.
……
October.
Song Zhiyi needs to go to Yanjing several months in advance to prepare for the examination.
Yuan Xi did not participate, but he also went to Yanjing with him. He has been in this world for so long and has never been to Yanjing. Taking this opportunity to go there together will be regarded as the first stop of his travels in this world.
Along the way, we visited mountains and rivers and moved forward slowly. When passing through a town, I would stop and take a rest if there was anything interesting. I could play for two days and just rush past the towns that were not interesting. When encountering beautiful scenery, the two of them would stop to admire the scenery, sit on the ground, and talk loudly.
Both of them have learned something along the way. A month has passed and they haven't arrived in Yanjing yet. They are even having a little fun on the road.
Brother Yuan Xi is not in a hurry, but the others are extremely anxious.
In the Yongning Hou Mansion in Yanjing, Madam Hou once again called the housekeeper for questioning.
"Haven't you received anyone yet?"
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, I sent someone to guard the city gate every day. If I didn't see anyone, I sent someone to look for him along the road."
This time Song Zhiyi participated in the examination, and Song Yuming arranged a house. It was a Sanjin house passed down from his grandfather's generation. There were always servants to take care of it. Song Yuming would stay there for a while when he went to Beijing to report on his work, and the house was kept clean.
Song Zhiyi originally wanted to live here. Later, when Marquis Yongning learned that such a talented young man was going to Beijing to take the exam, he became interested in talents and sent a message to let him live in the Marquis's mansion and be looked after by him.
This was a good thing. Mrs. Hou had tidied up the yard early, estimated the time it would take to get to Yanjing from Qishan Prefecture, and sent people to guard the city gate a few days in advance, preparing to pick up people.
As a result, time passed, two days and three days, and no one had arrived. Mrs. Hou was not in a hurry at first. Delays on the road were common. It was always inconvenient to go out. She understood a few days later. Four or five days passed, but before anyone arrived, Mrs. Hou began to check in several times a day. In the past few days, the housekeeper's legs were getting thin from running back and forth. Seven or eight days passed, and Marquis Yongning began to ask, where was such an outstanding junior like him? Where are people?
After cleaning the Songtao Garden several times, no one had arrived. Today, Mrs. Hou didn't want to wait any more. She immediately asked the housekeeper to order a group of people to go there on horseback. A few more people were also sent to wait at the dock on the other side of the waterway, just in case. just in case.
"Go and search along the road. You must find him for me. If something goes wrong, you can figure out how to explain it to the Marquis."
"Yes, ma'am."
The butler withdrew with a sad face.
I immediately went to arrange manpower and found a few guards with good skills and good riding skills to find them along the way.
It was originally a month's journey, but Yuan Xi and the two dragged on for a month and a half.
Finally I saw the city gate of Yanjing.
"Yanjing deserves to be the capital of the country. It is indeed prosperous. There are more people queuing at the city gate than elsewhere. Young Master, Fourth Young Master, do we have to queue too? The queue is too long."
Mo Yu looked at the lively scene at the city gate and returned to the carriage to report the situation.
Song Zhiyi ordered: "Mo Yu, go to the front and see if anyone from the Hou Mansion will come to meet you."
"Yes, young master."
Mo Yu took the order and went to the front to find someone.
"Brother, we are so late, will the people from the Hou Mansion still be here?"
As the culprit, Yuan Xi asked without any guilt.
"I'll be there. It won't take much trouble to arrange for the servants to wait. But this time we were so late. Although we didn't agree on a time with the Hou Mansion, we were rude after all, and we had to express our apology to the Hou Mansion. "
In fact, Song Zhiyi didn't really want to live in the Marquis' Mansion. It would be better to be comfortable in his uncle's house, but he couldn't go against the decision made by his elders. It would be bad for everyone if he refuted Marquis Yongning's face.
"Got it, big brother."
At the gate of the city, there are several tea sheds far away from the road. The business is not bad and people come and go.
Mo Yu came to several tea sheds and searched. He thought this was the most likely place, otherwise he would have had no choice but to go into the city.
He was wandering here, and just when he was about to find someone to ask, there was a noise and the sound of horse hooves not far from the city gate. He turned around and saw a group of people stopped in front of the tea shed. The people at the table who were sitting in the tea shed immediately got up and ran over, speaking respectfully to the man who was leading the horse.
It seemed they were in a group. Just as Mo Yu was about to look away, he heard something vaguely coming from the Qishan Mansion over there. He hadn't been there for a long time, so he was looking for something along the way. He looked carefully and found the emblem of Marquis Yongning on the saddle. Worried that he had seen it wrong, he got closer to take a closer look.
This revealed him. Everyone moved away, but he was the only one who pushed in here, even pushing to the side of the horse.
A strong man on horseback saw it and scolded him without hesitation: "Stay away, what are you looking at? You, boy. This is the team of Yongning Houfu. If there is a collision, so many people are watching, I I can’t spare you either.”
"Yongninghou Mansion."
When he heard that it was Yongninghou Mansion, Mo Yu waved to them excitedly and shouted: "I am from the Song Mansion in Qishan Mansion."
Qishan Mansion Song Mansion.
Hearing this, both the people on the horse and the people under the horse all looked at Mo Yu.
The team on the horse was okay. They had just been ordered to look for people along the road, and they arrived just after they left the city gate. It didn't take much trouble. The four people who had been waiting in the tea shed under the horse were deeply resentful. They had been tortured a lot recently. They sat in the tea shed day after day, staring at the people on the road, for fear of missing them. Over time, their eyes became sore. They will still be scolded when they go back, and the superiors keep putting pressure on them. What can they do? If they are not there, they are not there. Let them change themselves wherever they go.
Now that people suddenly appeared in front of them, several people's emotions fluctuated greatly, and their eyes were moved to tears.
"It's finally here, it's great."
Mo Yu heard this and scratched his head, wondering why they were so excited.
Finally, the leader on horseback came forward and said, "This little brother, please take us to your young master first. To be honest, the Marquis has been waiting for a long time."
