After Su Wenqing was silent for a moment, he said: "Now that you have made a decision, you should leave for Beijing as soon as possible!"
Su Yizhao was very surprised, "Aren't you waiting for fifth brother and sixth brother?"
"They still have to take the government examination and the college examination, so you don't need to waste time here. After returning to the capital, you will immediately enter the Imperial College to study. Next August will be Qiuwei, so we will set off in July and rush back to Beiyuan Mansion."
Su Yizhao heard the meaning of Su Wenqing's words, "Father, won't you go back with your son?"
Su Wenqing shook his head, "Your fifth brother and sixth brother are still taking exams. My father will wait for them to finish the exam and go back together. For next year's provincial examination, my father will not come back with you."
Thinking that Su Yizhao would be afraid of traveling far away alone, he continued: "You don't have to worry, my father will hire the best escort to take you back to the capital. Gu Yuan beside me is very skilled, so let him follow you back."
Su Yizhao nodded when he heard this, "Then son, go back and prepare your luggage. Let's set off in two days!"
Su Wenqing nodded, and Su Yizhao resigned.
After Su Yizhao left, Su Wenqing scratched his head. Originally, he wanted Xiao Qi to wait another three years for his end, but Xiao Qi couldn't wait any longer.
What should I do? When I think about it, when Xiao Qi wins the exam, won’t I have to be on an equal footing with Xiao Qi?
I am a civil servant, but my son is also a civil servant. How embarrassing is this?
If Xiao Qi continues to take the National Examination and the Imperial Examination, how can he have any dignity if he goes out on his own?
For the first time, Su Wenqing began to feel that her status was low.
"Otherwise, I'll give it a try as well? You can't let others say that I'm not as good as your son, right?" Su Wenqing muttered.
Gu Yuan, who was guarding outside the study room, looked over in surprise when he heard this. The old man always wanted to show off his face. If the old man heard this, he would definitely go crazy with joy, right?
"But I and my son can't end up together, no! No! It's a mistake." Su Wenqing shook his head and sighed.
...
Spring, the eleventh year of Kanglong!
Several horses were galloping on the official road. When the young men in bright clothes and angry horses approached the fork in the road ahead, they reined in the reins and slowed down the horses.
Under the leafy locust tree, a young man riding a black horse looked back. When he heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer, he turned back.
He looked around and saw houses of various sizes sitting at the foot of the mountain ahead.
In the beautiful countryside, rickety-backed farmers are working, creating a scene of leisurely farm work.
I withdrew my gaze and looked at the unknown wild flowers on the roadside, and my mood suddenly felt a little better.
"Yizhao! How is it? The scenery here is nice, isn't it?"
Hearty laughter came from behind, and an older boy followed on horseback.
Su Yizhao closed his eyes and soaked in the spring breeze, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The scenery is nice! But don't feel bad about those two melons on your farm later."
Jiang Yongnian laughed, "You think they want to eat my two melons, but in fact they are just greedy for the game on my farm."
Su Yizhao smiled and said nothing. The melon she just mentioned was watermelon.
It's spring now, the wind is sunny and the weather is getting warmer. It's a good time for an outing in the countryside.
Watermelons are only available in the summer. Unlike in previous lives, watermelons are available all year round here. It is rare to have two melons growing there. Only Zhuangzi near the hot springs has two.
"I don't know how that village grew watermelons. It's also a hot spring village. Why can't it grow in my village?" Jiang Yongnian said with emotion.
Su Yizhao looked into the distance, "I heard that growing watermelons in the village requires a lot of effort, and the survival rate is not high. You may not think that the melons are expensive, but this kind of business is probably not worth it to your family.
Up."
Of course she couldn't say that the watermelon was cultivated in her farm. In fact, she didn't lie. In ancient times, there were no greenhouses, so planting them was very troublesome.
Therefore, the grown watermelons are very expensive, and one watermelon can be sold for about five taels of silver.
Of course, this kind of business is indeed hugely profitable. Without a background, you can’t make a living in this business.
Therefore, she asked Zhou Tai to use his original connections to establish a relationship with the tribe of Li Loushang, the left servant of the household department.
Jiang Yongnian wanted to say that such a business would make a lot of money every day, and it could still be done.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw the young man next to him, under the orange-red morning sun, his formerly fair face was rendered crimson, instantly as gorgeous as a peach and plum, and there was actually a bit of charm between his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but lose his mind.
Sensing Jiang Yongnian's silence, Su Yizhao just turned his head to look, when the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
"It's so funny that you two can run so fast!"
A young man behind him shouted as he approached, seemingly complaining, but with a smile on his face.
"Our two horses are good horses for thousands of miles, so they can naturally run faster than yours." Jiang Yongnian smiled at the young man who was coming.
This young man is wearing a pea green outfit and has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. At first glance, he looks like a member of a flamboyant and wanton family.
"Your horse is your usual mount. It goes without saying that it cooperates with you tacitly. But today is the first time that Yizhao has ridden the horse. How can it be so obedient? We have tamed it several times before, and it is very good.
It’s conflicting.”
Another young man in sapphire blue sword-sleeved attire followed up and asked unconvinced.
He had coveted this horse for a long time. Jiang Yongnian had previously said that if he could tame this fierce horse, he would give it to him.
Therefore, he came to Zhuangzi every now and then for this BMW. Unexpectedly, Su Yizhao got a good deal.
"Who told you that you couldn't tame this horse? Now that the horse is owned by Yizhao, it won't help even if you are jealous."
After Jiang Yongnian finished speaking, he laughed and then galloped forward on his horse.
The two young men looked at each other with different expressions in their eyes, then they said something to Su Yizhao, and then they all followed suit.
Su Yizhao, on the other hand, followed slowly on horseback, not in a hurry to catch up.
She patted the horse's back under her and murmured: "How's it going? I took you out for a walk. Doesn't it feel good?"
The horse immediately snorted, "Huh! If I didn't want to come out for a walk, I wouldn't want to let you ride."
Su Yizhao shook his head when he heard this, "You haven't experienced the pain yet, and you don't know that we have a saying that those who understand current affairs are heroes."
This was a wild horse, sent from the border. When I caught it, it was galloping on the prairie.
"Naqiao also needs to look at his own situation. If it continues like this, you will surely see their extraordinary methods soon. They will not have the patience to wait for you to surrender."
Su Yizhao was not trying to scare the horse. Those who specialized in horse training had many tricks.
If it weren't for the fact that this horse is indeed a thousand-mile horse, I believe this horse would have already suffered a lot.
The horse was silent, and after a while he said: "Isn't that person going to give me to you? Then I will follow you from now on! As long as you take me out for a walk from time to time."
Su Yizhao shook her head and laughed. She touched the horse's back.
"I can like you, but it's a pity that it's not appropriate for you to follow me, and I don't have much time to play with you."
