The carriage drove smoothly, leaving the beautiful spring scenery of Dahe Village behind.
There was only one official road from Pingan County to Huzhou, and the carriage stopped after driving for less than half an hour.
Shen Zheng was sitting outside and said, "Auntie, someone is blocking the road ahead. Let's take a rest first."
Cheng Wanwan wanted to stop the car and rest. After driving in the car for half an hour, her head felt dizzy and her stomach was extremely uncomfortable. As soon as the carriage stopped, she jumped out of the car and breathed in the fresh air outside. I feel much better physically.
Before going to Nanyang City, she had sworn never to travel far again. After so long, the scar was healed and the pain was forgotten.
If Sidan takes an exam in the future, her old mother will definitely accompany her. There will be too many days of traveling in the future, and she will never swear casually again.
Maybe it was because she took motion sickness medicine, but she felt much better after taking a short rest, and then she was able to think about watching the motorcade in front of her.
"It's Qian Hui and Zheng Wangfeng." Shen Zheng sat at the front of the car and said nonchalantly, "These two guys are just going to Huzhou to take the exam. There are so many people seeing each other off, and it's not like they are separated for life and death. It's so exaggerated."
Cheng Wanwan nodded, it was indeed an exaggeration.
Ten people from the Qian family and a dozen people from the Zheng family blocked the only official road and said goodbye reluctantly.
"Guanren, it's been too long to go here for half a month..." A girl grabbed Zheng Wangfeng's sleeve and said, "Please accompany Guanren to Huzhou. I can help you at least."
Another girl came over and said, "If my sister goes, then my sister will go too."
At the same time, a girl with a slightly swollen belly also came over and said with a sad face: "What if the child in the belly misses his father? Why don't we go with him..."
Zheng Wangfeng was surrounded by three concubines and had a headache.
Cheng Wanwan was also slightly surprised. She recognized that the girl with the bulging belly was Mrs. Zhang's niece, named Li Xiuhong.
When Li Xiuhong used tricks to marry into the Zheng family, Mrs. Zhang kept showing off that her niece was living a good life in the Zheng family. Now that she saw it, she was indeed living a good life.
Li Xiuhong wore a gold hairpin, silk and satin, a gold bracelet on her wrist, and a green ring on her thumb. The fact that a concubine could dress like this was enough to prove her favorability.
However, before Zheng Wangfeng got married, his concubine became pregnant with an heir. Can the Zheng family really allow this child to be born?
"Brother Zheng, you can't be so heartless and indifferent." Shen Zheng jumped out of the car, "Since your three concubines can't bear to leave you, then take them to Huzhou. Anyway, the Zheng family's carriage is big enough. Let's go with them. Let’s go together.”
Li Xiuhong turned her head suddenly. She saw Shen Zheng walking over, and then saw Cheng Wanwan. She wanted to escape at first, because everyone in Dahe Village knew how she got to this point, and these people also knew What was her life like before? She was reluctant to meet her former acquaintances.
She was about to bend down and hide in the carriage. The next moment, she smiled. She was now the concubine of Zheng Wangfeng, the son of the Fenghuang County Magistrate. She was pregnant with Zheng Wangfeng's first bloodline. If this child gave birth to a boy, then she would grow up A concubine becomes a concubine. After becoming a concubine, she is no longer a slave who is sold by the mistress of the house.
Her future is bright, why should she hide with a guilty conscience?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuhong puffed up her chest and fiddled with the gold bracelet on her wrist, looking proud.
"Everyone go back." Zheng Wangfeng suppressed his displeasure and his voice became much colder, "Are we here to make people laugh?"
It is romantic for a man to have concubines, but if concubines gather and get entangled, it becomes a romantic debt, and it is not a good idea to spread the word.
The concubines were accustomed to looking at his expressions. Seeing that he was slightly angry, they immediately turned around and got into the carriage, and Li Xiuhong also got in the carriage.
Zheng Wangfeng raised his hands and greeted Shen Zheng: "Brother Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time, why is it darker than before."
"What do you know? This is a healthy complexion." Shen Zheng raised his chin, "You have been stuck here for a quarter of an hour. Let's go quickly. Don't waste everyone's time on their way."
Just as he was talking, Mr. Qian led Qian Hui over from the front.
Mr. Qian is a businessman and is very polite to these second-generation officials: "I haven't seen Master Shen for a while, and Master Shen has become more and more arrogant."
Qian Hui twitched the corner of his lips: "You are so black and white, how can you be so impressive? Grandpa, you are really boasting with your eyes closed..."
"Shut up!" Mr. Qian lowered his voice, "What did I tell you when we went out?"
Qian Hui shut up angrily, and his grandfather said that he did not ask him to obtain fame, but asked him to get to know more people who could obtain fame.
But he didn't think that Shen Zheng could pass the exam. Everyone was a playboy, and they were all at about the same level...
Shen Zheng waved his hand: "It's getting late, Master Qian, please hurry up and let the convoy set off."
Mr. Qian raised his eyes and looked at the back of the motorcade, suddenly stunned: "Master Shen, is that woman from Suiru?"
He had never seen Sui Ruren before, but the woman's temperament was completely different from others. She looked like a noblewoman at first glance. Among the noble women from all over the country, it seemed that Sui Ruren from Ping'an County was the only one.
Without waiting for Shen Zheng to reply, Mr. Qian led Qian Hui over.
"Qian has met Sui Ruren!" Mr. Qian's attitude was extremely low, "Did Sui Ruren also go to Huzhou?"
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "Send my nephew to take the exam."
"The nephew of Sui Ruren, he must be Cheng Zhao." Mr. Qian laughed, "The headmaster of Nanfu Academy once said that Cheng Zhao will definitely pass the scholar examination this time. If my grandson is half as good as Cheng Zhao, I will be satisfied. ”
Cheng Wanwan smiled dryly.
Although she handles interpersonal relationships well, it's still a bit embarrassing for her to stand and accept flattery from others.
She was about to find an excuse to get into the carriage, when Mr. Qian said: "Sui Ru is now the seventh-grade royal wife. How can she ride in such a simple carriage? Why not get into the Qian family's carriage? There is a lot of space in the carriage. Soft cushions, you can lie down and rest, and you will be in Huzhou when you wake up..."
"No need." Cheng Wanwan politely refused, "I have never been to Huzhou, and I can just take a look at the scenery along the way. It's getting late, so let's set off quickly."
Mr. Qian still wanted to persuade him, but Cheng Wanwan was resolute and turned around and got into his carriage, so he had no choice but to give up.
The motorcade finally set off. At the front were the carriages of the Qian family and the Zheng family, followed by Cheng Wanwan and the others, and behind them were other students who were rushing to take exams. Those who could go by carriage were all students from poor families. , carrying a baggage on their backs, carrying a load of books, and walked to Huzhou on their own feet. Cheng Wanwan admired these students.
Because Cheng Wanwan was motion sick, they drove towards Huzhou at the slowest speed, and the carriage fell far behind in the end. It could have taken them two hours, but it took them three hours.
Finally arriving at the gate of Huzhou City, Cheng Wanwan's face turned pale. She didn't dare to stay in the carriage anymore and quickly got out of the carriage. Lu Yingxue was in good condition and helped Cheng Wanwan walk towards Huzhou City.
Huzhou is the capital city of Ping'an County. It is very prosperous and bustling. Because the government examination and the college examination are held at the same time, students from all over the world have come in advance, making it even more lively.
"Suiru people!" Mr. Qian was waiting inside the city gate. When he saw Cheng Wanwan, he came up to him, "The inns in the city are all full. Why don't you, Suiru people, come to my Qian family's villa to stay for a few days?"
