Chapter 302: I can't leave even if I want to~
The streets are bustling...
As soon as Jiang Anyi appeared on the street, the familiar people greeted him with smiles.
After not seeing each other for a long time, they warmly invited the little girl to try this and that.
Things that the lady likes will sell especially well!
Soon, Huo Changming and Li Xingsang's hands were full.
The little girl walked in front with empty hands.
In the dusty land of the North, such a delicate and pretty girl always attracts attention.
The students from the county magistrate looked at her with a sidelong glance, watching her absent-mindedly...
Nothing else, just envy.
I envy the boy behind her for having such a beautiful sister.
A student with sharp ears heard the people calling her and chatted with the shopkeeper in a low voice...
"Shopkeeper, why do you all call this girl Miss?"
The tea stall owner chuckled, "She is the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace, of course she should be called that!"
"She...she is it?!"
The students at that table became excited and stuttered a little when they spoke.
The boss looked weird. These students must have gone stupid from studying so much...
"How can it be false?"
A student shyly bowed, "Please don't blame me, I was just excited for a moment."
"You don't know that there was originally little good farmland in our county, and the landlords were tyrannical, so the people had no land to farm... they were suffering terribly."
It was not until Jiang An's trip a few years ago, coupled with the cultivation of wheat seedlings in winter, that they were able to make a living.
At this point, someone at the table had tears in his eyes, stroked the sage book in his hand, and murmured, "If it weren't for the young lady, we wouldn't even be able to read the book..."
Living is already difficult, so where would we get the spare money to buy them paper, ink, pens and inkstones?
The shopkeeper was silent for a moment, blinked away the tears in his eyes, and urged the speechless students, "Drink tea...drink tea."
"Drink more to warm yourself up."
After that, he took out two or three plates of rough snacks to fill his stomach and said generously, "This table is mine, you can eat as much as you want!"
"No... this won't work..."
And all this happened behind Jiang An.
The little girl whose smile was as bright as the sun had long gone away.
After walking around for a while, I came to Songhu Lake...
Jiang An grabbed a hot chestnut from the oil paper bag, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it, blinking his round eyes.
She pointed at the Songhu Villa guarded by the yamen runners and black-armored guards and asked, "Why is this place fenced off?"
Li Xingsang: "Songhu Villa has a large area, which is perfect for the autumn examination..."
Since it appeared on the edge of Song Lake, the autumn examination has been held here every three years.
As he spoke, he looked at the closed door under the plaque, curiosity rising in his eyes.
There are less than seven days left until the Autumn Examination, and the examination room must have been set up.
This was his first time taking part in the Autumn Examination, and he had no idea what it was like.
As they got closer, the guards in black armor saw that it was the young lady and bowed and greeted her.
"Meet the lady..."
This voice is still as loud as a bell~
The little girl kept chewing, her cheeks puffed up like a little squirrel.
She just waved her paws and said, "Get up quickly~"
"You guys do your thing, I'll just watch~"
The voice was heard in the villa, and Xie Yunshan, who was accompanying the governor and the newly appointed chief examiner to visit the examination room, turned his head.
He rolled his eyes. This little ancestor actually had the energy to walk all the way here? !
He knew the little girl too well. On such a lively day, she would definitely come out to play!
“What’s outside…?”
The elegant man in scarlet official robe, walking side by side with the governor, asked.
Wen Shoushi maintained a respectable smile and told the truth, "She should be the daughter of the Zhenguo Palace."
"Oh?"
He seemed to be very interested in Jiang An and said, "Since we have bumped into each other, I should pay my respects to him..."
Xu Baiwen turned around, and a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites followed him.
As he walked out, he joked with the governor, "I have heard a lot about your heroic deeds in Kyoto."
Wen Shoushi: "Young lady is kind and benevolent, it is a blessing for the Northland."
They were having a pleasant conversation, but Xie Yunshan lagged behind and no one paid any attention to him.
Yun Yi, who followed the young master, looked at the receding figure and gossiped with Xie Yunshan.
"Sir, it seems that this Lord Xu is really just as the rumors say, he does not seek to curry favor with the powerful..."
"Ah."
Xie Yunshan looked back at the stupid guard and raised his eyebrows, "How did you know that?"
Yun Yi was at a loss and replied, "He didn't even pay attention to you, sir."
The reason for going to meet Miss An An was because she has always been working for the benefit of the people in the north.
General Xie sneered and asked, "How can you survive in Kyoto if you don't curry favor with the powerful?"
Xu Baiwen has no noble family to help him, nor anyone in a high position to back him up. How can he have the confidence to stand in a pool of mud and be a pure white lotus!
"Look at the situation of the governor Wen Shoushi, and then look at the old master..."
"Do you still think you're right?"
He didn't wait for Yun Yi's answer and followed him.
Xie Yunshan had a hunch that this Xu guy was definitely not a good person!
He has to keep a close eye on the little girl!
"Squeak..."
Jiang An was about to leave when the gate to the villa opened...
She turned around and saw a group of people in official robes pouring out.
Leading the group were the governor and an unfamiliar official.
Although they both wore scarlet official robes, their official ranks were different.
Jiang An looked at the unfamiliar face and saw clouds and geese embroidered on his official robe. He should be a fourth-rank official, which was lower than the rank of a governor.
Since the two of them can still walk side by side, I think he should be the examiner who came to Chongzhou today...
Although his official rank was not high, he was directly under the command of the emperor, so there must be a reason why he was special.
"Your humble servant Xu Baiwen greets the young lady."
The little girl was still taking chestnuts out of the oilpaper bag, her thin eyebrows raised.
So enthusiastic?
"Plop." The chestnuts fell back into the bag.
Jiang An put his oily hands behind his back and said, "Master Xu?"
Xu Baiwen maintained his salute and said, "It is you, my humble servant."
"Hehe... Lord Xu, there is no need to be so polite. The State Zhenguo Palace is not responsible for the Autumn Examination."
"Master Xu, just take care of your business~"
The little girl stepped back and pretended to leave, "I'll go first..."
"Miss, stay!"
Jiang An turned halfway and gave a bitter smile, muttering, "I should have taken a detour earlier!"
She had just returned from leading the troops, and now when she saw any official business, she just wanted to spit first as a sign of respect.
"Master Xu, is there something wrong?"
Xu Baiwen withdrew his hand and looked at the seven or eight-year-old kid with admiration.
"I just arrived in Chongzhou and heard many rumors about the young lady..."
"Young lady is a genius, I think you will have some different opinions on the matter of the Autumn Examination. I dare to ask for your advice!"
Look, how beautifully these words are spoken!
Xie Yunshan, who had just caught up, curled his lips.
What kind of good guy is this in Beijing? He just wants to flatter any party. After all, he is a low-ranking official with few things to do, so he can naturally live a smooth life.
Look at the praises given to this devil, there is nothing like it in heaven or on earth, he can't leave even if he wants to~
