The journey of the only child of a peasant family to take the imperial examination

Early the next morning, everyone in the mansion began to get busy.

The journey back to Beijing this time is long, and I have to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, so I have to bring a lot of luggage.

There were also servants, guards, wet nurses and the like traveling with them, and these people also had to take their belongings with them.

Together, they finally formed a small fleet of more than a dozen carriages.

Zhang Ping'an never skimps on the equipment of the people around him, and the horses he chooses are all strong and good horses that he asks others to buy.

They were also armed with swords and bows and arrows.

Most people wouldn't dare to attack such a convoy.

After breakfast, Zhang Laoer couldn't sit still. All his life, he would rather do things early than late and never stuck to time.

"Should we set off now? Don't keep others waiting too long!"

"Well, I'm watching the time. It's still early, Dad. Just eat your breakfast without worrying!" Zhang Ping'an ate as calmly as a rock.

Xu and Zhang Laoer had similar personalities. They didn't want to leave on time, so they finished their breakfast early and looked at their son, silently urging him with their eyes.

Xiao Yuer looked around, covered his mouth and laughed, I don’t know what he was laughing at!

Under the stern and urging gazes of his parents, Zhang Ping'an had to eat faster.

After the meal, the housekeeper came forward and picked up Xiao Yuer, and sent them out to get in the carriage.

Everything that needed to be explained had already been explained, and the housekeeper did his job very well, so there was nothing to worry about.

Just standing at the door, before getting in the car, Zhang Pingan couldn't help but turn around and look at this place that had left many important memories!

Xu is open-minded. To her, Zhangjia Village in Shuanghe Town is her hometown and home. Although she is nostalgic for Lin'an, she knows how to make choices.

"Let's go and stop looking. You have a long life ahead of you. I hope you won't have to move again after you go to the capital!" Xu sighed.

Zhang Laoer also patted his son's shoulder and advised: "Leave, you can always come back later!"

"Let's go!" Zhang Ping'an took a deep breath, turned around and got on the carriage.

At the city gate, the first and third wives, Uncle Xu, Daya, Jinbao's family, and Wuya were all waiting.

In addition to Xu Xiaojiu and Jinbao's families, there is also Wu Ya, with fewer people and luggage.

The rest of the people also tried their best to bring everything they could, including the old and the young, plus the servants, forming a large convoy.

Once Zhang Ping'an arrived and joined forces with them, he was even more intimidating.

It looks very grand.

Xiao Yifei came along to see everyone off. He would not be returning to his hometown this time.

However, after discussing with his stepmother and brother, everyone felt that they had to take the ancestral property from their hometown. It was all real money, and it would be a waste not to take it. It might be the capital for making a comeback in the future.

Therefore, the Xiao family sent Brother Xiao to go back with Zhang Pingan and the others.

I was able to borrow the Zhang family's help and save the money on hiring a bodyguard.

It was only right that Xiao Yifei should thank Zhang Pingan in person again.

Zhang Pingan didn't care much about these things. It was just a favor, and he and Xiao Yifei had always had a good relationship.

"I think your stepmother and stepbrother are good people. Although they are shrewd and snobbish, they have their bottom line as human beings. This is acceptable in a big family. Don't worry, even if I return to Wushan County, I will take care of him wherever I can, and also help you get more family property."

"I'm not worried about that. With you here, my stepmother won't dare to treat me too harshly even if she is just taking advantage of the power of others. But my brother has a rather cold and arrogant personality, so please don't be offended!" Xiao Yifei said with a smile.

"It's okay, don't worry," Zhang Ping'an waved his hand.

After a while, the city gate opened, and after checking the household registration documents one by one, the convoy slowly left the city.

Xiao Yifei stood on tiptoe and waved vigorously from behind, and Jin Bao and others also leaned out of the window and waved vigorously in response.

Until the distance between the two sides becomes farther and farther.

Jinbao was particularly sad, "It's so painful to leave!"

Jinbao's parents looked at him and sighed without saying anything. They couldn't understand how two rough people could give birth to such a sensitive and delicate child.

Mingming was quite tough, lively and outgoing when he was a child.

Zhang Ping'an leisurely embarked on the journey back home, but his former fifth brother-in-law Fang Ziqi, who stayed in Ci County, was having a hard time.
