Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

He could only chuckle and try to find an excuse to leave, but Master Wang, clinging to him, immediately spoke up, "Ruyi Anren is now a sixth-rank official. How could he ride in such a simple carriage? Why don't you get in our carriage and rest up? One of our largest carriages is available today, and the cushions are very soft, perfect for long journeys. Once you get in, just lie down and take a nap, and you won't feel tired at all."

"No... no thanks." Yun Zhenzhen smiled and refused him. "This is my first time traveling far away, so I'd like to take this opportunity to enjoy the scenery along the way. If the carriage is too comfortable and I oversleep, I won't miss out on a lot of beautiful scenery."

"It's getting late now, let's get going quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if we delay a few children."

Mr. Wang wanted to continue persuading her, but seeing that Yun Zhenzhen had already turned around and got on the carriage, he could only put down his hands awkwardly.

After the Wang family dispersed, the road was finally clear, and the convoys behind them began to set off one after another. At the front was the Wang family, followed by Yun Zhenzhen. Behind them were many other students who were going to take the exam together.

Those from well-off families also traveled by horse-drawn carriage, which was much more comfortable. Meanwhile, some poorer students simply carried a bundle, a simple bamboo basket with their books inside, and a simple shed above it, and traveled on foot.

Looking at the many students on the roadside carrying dozens of kilograms of books on their backs, Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help but admire them. Even someone like her who felt tired just sitting in a carriage was full of admiration for the students who traveled long distances to take the exam.

As more and more people were walking on the road, their pace slowed down. They took until dark to reach a place that could normally take half a day.

When they arrived at the gate of Yuzhou City, Yun Zhenzhen couldn't wait to jump off the carriage. The bumpy ride along the way almost broke her bones, so she wanted to get off the carriage to get some fresh air and stretch her waist.

The men were okay, but they also got out of the car one after another to breathe some fresh air.

Yuzhou City is the central capital of the entire Yuzhou. It was the first time that Yun Zhenzhen had seen the prosperity of the city. In addition, the college examinations were being held at the same time, and students from all directions were pouring into the city, making it even more lively.

"Ruyi Anren!"

Yun Zhenzhen had just taken a few steps outside when she heard a familiar voice calling her.

Mr. Wang had been waiting at the city gate. Finally, he saw a familiar figure and hurried to greet him. "These past few days, all the inns in the city are full, and the remaining ones are very dirty and messy. Why don't you stay at my Wang family's villa for a few days so that your child can prepare for the exam with peace of mind?"

Mr. Wang was so overly enthusiastic that Yun Zhenzhen didn't like it. She believed in the famous saying passed down by her ancestors: "If someone shows too much kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."

Wang Ze stepped forward and protected Yun Zhenzhen behind him: "Uncle, you should just take care of yourselves. My father has already sent someone to book an inn here. You can stay very comfortably. Don't bother worrying about it."

Afterwards, he took Yun Zhenzhen and his group and walked towards the city from the other side.

"The Ruyi'an people clearly don't want to have anything to do with us, so why are you so enthusiastic?" Wang Ye approached with some confusion, his face full of disdain. "Although his nephew is excellent, your son is not bad either. He will definitely get into high school this time."

"You bastard, what do you know? I told you to socialize more, but you just wouldn't listen." Master Wang slapped him on the head. "That guy is now from Liuping Pin'an, a higher official than the county magistrate, and he's even got a pass from the emperor. And Yun Jing, he'll be able to get into high school in the future. You two were classmates, and your cousin is close to them now. Why don't you take this opportunity to build good relationships with them? Can you stop thinking about love and affection like a blockhead?"

Wang Ye touched his head in dissatisfaction and was about to say something when Master Wang glared back at him.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and follow them. See where they live and move in too. Promise to build a good relationship with them, otherwise don't come back."

Hearing this, Wang Ye rubbed his head in frustration, "Dad, you forgot, where are the inns available for us to stay in right now? Many of them were fully booked a few days ago..."

"If it's full, just give me more money. I'll always have a place to stay." Master Wang snorted coldly: "You can't even bear this little grievance, how can you even think of inheriting the family business and entering the officialdom? You're too simple-minded."

After saying this, Mr. Wang walked away with his hands behind his back, as if he didn't care about him anymore.

Seeing this, Wang Ye could only follow Yun Zhenzhen and her group silently.

He used to have a good relationship with Wang Ze, and the two were cousins, so they had always been close. But Yun Jing was the object of their dislike before, and now he was rushing to curry favor with him. He suddenly felt that life was so difficult. Is this retribution in this life?

But there was no way out. His father had already given the order. If he couldn't stay in the inn, he would probably have to live on the streets.

"Cousin, Brother Yun, wait for me. We're all students from the same place, so living together means we can look after each other." Wang Ye calmed down and came to them with a smile: "Cousin, my father doesn't care about me anymore. You can't really leave your cousin here in an unfamiliar place, right? I want to live with you and promise not to disturb you."

After saying this, he raised a few fingers with a sincere look on his face, then came in front of Yun Zhenzhen and bowed respectfully.

"Junior, I'm honored to meet Ruyi'an. My father wants to train me to be independent, so he wants me to stay in the same inn with you. You don't mind, do you?"

At this moment, Yun Zhenzhen just wanted to find a place to lie down and take a nap. Seeing his fawning look, she didn't want to argue with a child: "Do as you please. Just discuss it with your cousin."

The group walked through the busy streets and soon arrived at the Lai Fu Inn they had booked. This is an inn with a nice environment in Yuzhou City. The price is not particularly expensive, and it is the first choice for many students.

Wang Ze entered the inn and told the innkeeper where he came from. The waiter tactfully handed him a few signs, which showed four good rooms in total. Wang Ze and Lai Fu stayed together, and the other three people each had one room.

Wang Ye took a silver ingot and found a poor student to negotiate and bought his room. Although it was only a medium-sized room, it was not a loss as they were living in the same inn.
