The carriage drove smoothly on the road, but suddenly there was a sound of hooves in the distance.
Anyouwen's heart raised. He pressed his straw hat and continued to drive with his head down.
The sound of the horse's hooves is getting closer and closer, and even the land is shaking slightly. An Youwen holds the reins and looks back. There is a team of cavalry running in the dust.
Xiuning also heard the sound of the horse's hooves, she quickly opened the car curtain, nervous way, "Xianggong, will it be the people who chase us?"
An Youwen forced his heart beat, whispered, "don't be afraid, you sit inside, remember what I taught you."
Xiuning nodded and sat back in the car, but his hands were all sweaty.
An Youwen calmed his mind. He sat up straight and pressed the straw hat down again.
An Youwen reined in the reins and let the carriage slow down. Then he drove the carriage to the side of the road and let the road out.
The army horse roared past and raised the dust all over the sky. An Youwen lowered his head and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve.
A man at the end of the team suddenly reined in the reins and turned back to an Youwen.
"Hey, driver, have you seen a man dressed up by a rich lady?" The Lord of the Army rode on his horse and asked condescensively.
"No Anyouwen hung his head and looked honest.
The officer looked at an Youwen and asked, "what do you do and who is in the car?"
Anyouwen honestly replied, "if huijunye, the villain is a scholar. He failed in this scientific examination. Now he is going to take his wife back to his hometown."
Junye looked around, "scholar? What's your name? "
"Zhao Dahai." Anyouwen said a fellow examinee's name, this person this year really also failed, even if others to check also won't check without this person.
Junye nodded his head. Looking at the figure and the way he spoke, he looked like a scholar.
He pointed the whip at the door of the carriage and said, "open it and show me."
Anyouwen was a little embarrassed. "Junye, it's my wife sitting inside. I'm afraid it's inconvenient to see a stranger."
"Go away! You're a loser, and you're still learning how to be an adult? " Officers have always hated these scholars.
He looked at an Youwen did not move, then raised the whip, as long as the driver does not open the door, he immediately whipped down.
"I'm afraid of strangers. Just take a look at me, Junye. Don't scare him with words." Anyouwen reluctantly pushed the door open.
The scholar's sour and rotten appearance made Jun Ye feel uncomfortable.
Junye stooped to have a look. In the carriage, there was only a little woman holding a small package. She was looking at herself in panic.
The little woman was wearing a grey skirt. Although she looked clean, the material was cheap and she didn't have a decent jewelry.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"I My name is Li cui'er
"Why don't you just stay at home and what are you doing here?"
"My husband said that he would definitely win the exam this time, so he took me to the capital to enjoy the happiness and let me be an official lady, but..."
The little woman looked at her husband plaintively, looking like she had been cheated.
make complaints about Tucao, "he still wants to be an official?" Go home and plant the land honestly
The army master's eyes swept twice in the carriage. Except for the little woman, there were only three pieces of baggage piled in the corner. It didn't look like a Tibetan.
Moreover, the little woman was trembling. She had never seen the world before, and she would not be the one they were looking for.
The military master put away the whip and gave an unhappy glance at the scholar who was driving.
"Come on, get out of here." The military master held the reins. Before he left, he said, "if you see a young woman in rich clothes and report to the government that she has a great reward, maybe it will be easier for you to be a little official than for your scientific examination."
"I see. Thank you." An Youwen turns around and closes the carriage door, watching the master leave.
When the man went away, an Youwen was relieved.
He took off his straw hat, which was wet with sweat under the brim.
