After walking a few steps, Qiao Jin stumbled and could only see a small rock when she looked down.

There was nothing left, and he couldn't help but secretly said that he was really careless, and then he left without looking at him.

And the shadow behind him that had been there for the past few days finally disappeared after standing still for a while.

And the man in the distance from where he started walking, the amazing man.He nodded when he heard his subordinate's report and said nothing.

He touched the other person's body before, but there was nothing but the touch of the skin under the clothes. He raised his eyebrows and rubbed his fingers involuntarily.

Some are raised too tenderly...

It can be served directly on the table.

He stood up expressionlessly, picked up his luggage and walked towards the direction where Qiao Jin had left.

Sheng made a gesture, and the guy who originally planned to catch the cicada and the oriole behind him died instantly.There really isn't even ash left.

He also snorted coldly with special disdain, "Pretending to be true, huh. If it's so easy to deceive, just talk about it and leave. Then we don't have to hide in this corner long ago."

The man walking in front acted as if he had never heard of it, and just said lightly, "Follow me."

And Qiao Jin, who just stumbled, didn't realize at all that the brain hole of this matter can be opened up to where, it is simply out of the Milky Way!

He didn't even think about how the journey was so smooth.

He reached out and took out the customs clearance document placed on his chest.Without squinting, he walked towards the city gate.

The people around him affected him to some extent. After all, this was the first time he saw so many novel things after time travelling. How could he not be excited!But when he thought about entering the city, he would be able to find a post station that manages candidates and soak his feet in a bucket of hot water. He felt that this was now a proof of his life.

He had had enough of suffering in the past half month.Thinking of this, his pace became faster and faster.

Go through the flow of people, stand in front of the city wall and line up to enter.

Luggage is always checked in central cities like this.Qiao Jin patted the dust off her robe.

At this time, there was a commotion in front, and a beggar in a patched and ragged clothes was driven out.He staggered step by step and turned his head, clutching his head and shivering away.

The imperial city has never allowed such people to enter.

If your clothes are disheveled, you will definitely not be able to enter.After all, although Qiao Jin's robe has been washed and turned white, it is no problem that there are many poor scholars.But there are countless dangerous refugees

As the imperial city is the economic and political center, it is natural that some people cannot use the refugees to cause trouble.

So, there is actually an unwritten rule.

Poor scholars like them would buy a new robe in front of the city gate, so as not to make it through this hurdle.

Qiao Jin looked at her robe and frowned slightly.

Speaking of which, I might hang myself.

He really didn't want to touch the money in his sleeves unless he had to. He really only had a tael of silver and a penny of copper.

What to learn when you can't afford to eat!

In fact, this is what he most wanted to say.

The clothes at the gate of this city are not cheap, one or two hundred silver a piece is nothing more than normal.But that one tael of silver was worth a dime more than his entire wealth and life.

So this is where the imperial city cheated people.You have room to return before entering here.Once inside, you're broke and just give it a go.

There were many scholars in front of him, and all of them hoped to be able to pass almost by chance.But the officials standing at the front seemed to be tired of trying to find out who was inappropriate one by one.He stood up impatiently and started to walk into the team to find someone.

Scholars are constantly being pulled out.

Almost all of them are angry and sad, as if there is some great tragedy in this world.Some people were angry, and suddenly knelt down to startle Qiao Jin. The other party's face was covered with tears in an instant, and he screamed loudly, like the most helpless child in the world.

He said that he has an old mother and a child.If there is really no money or something like that, the entire court will be secretly scolded as a stingy rich man who embezzles every slave.Then he was taken away not long after.Said she was going to sign and draw a pledge, but Qiao Jin frowned slightly and said nothing.

A word of psychological emotion,

Tsk, voice of the people.

A scholar in front of him was blushing, clenched his fists tightly, and was breathing heavily, but he tried his best to calm down.If he didn't know what was going on, he might really think the other person had an asthma attack.At first, he was very worried and went up to help.But seeing the bloodshot eyes in the opponent's eyes, he knew that it was nervous fear.

Afraid of being found out.

When the official took a step this way, he wished he could take a step back, his eyes fixed on the opponent's feet. When the official passed by him, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt refreshed.

Qiao Jin looked at the other party's sudden relaxation, and frowned even tighter.

to finish.

Relaxation after excessive tension can be unexpectedly painful.

Sure enough, within a few breaths, the man had fallen to the ground.Qiao Jin stepped forward quickly to check the situation.But it was preempted by the faster officials.They made the best rescue method.

Qiao Jin's movements froze in place, he clenched his fists, stood back up again, shook his head slightly,

Tsk, voice of the people.

Qiao Jin sighed again.

When Qiao Jin was distracted, the official had already passed by Qiao Jin.It seems that he doesn't care much.

However, an accident happened.

He took a few steps forward and suddenly seemed to have discovered something, then fell back and pulled Qiao Jin out on purpose. When Qiao Jin came out, she had a calm expression on her face.

Some people in the crowd were whispering, this is too pitiful, they have already passed by, and they will return.

There are always many people concerned about poor scholars.

They thought that Qiao Jin would yell and cry, and follow the example of the "kneeling brother" just now.

But it's a pity.

Qiao Jin's face was indifferent, and she didn't even move her eyebrows.He just felt a little pity, and there was no other emotion.

Then besides these regretful eyes.Qiao Jin seemed to feel the eyes of hungry wolves pouncing on their food. They were so green and extremely creepy that they stared at them like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

But looking up it always disappears.Qiao Jin looked around and saw the baskets of clothes, and he suddenly understood.

A large number of businessmen gathered here, and now they, poor scholars who were driven out, naturally became lambs waiting to be slaughtered.They have only two options - or pass.

Or, leave.

After so many years of hard work, how could they just give up, so they are the biggest business opportunities for those people.

They are ready to go one by one, like sharp arrows leaving the string.Everyone is their target, watching the end is really scarier than facing a wolf or a tiger.

The first round of officials checked, and a group of people rushed up suddenly.Although Qiao Jin was already a little psychologically prepared, she was still taken aback, and then almost the same words rang out all over the venue,

"Hey, what a handsome little brother! Mother-in-law, I have lived for so many years, this is the first time I have seen such a handsome little brother!"

Well, the words in his ear could be different.

His eyes moved to the front of him.

The skin is wrinkled like the peel of an orange.Such a yellow face.The corners of the eyes are curved, and the corners of the mouth are curved and full of smiles.The eyes are not small, but they look a bit small inlaid on this face, and the small eyes are full of bare eyes.The hair is even darker and is coiled up high, and it is not known how many years it has left.

He is not tall, with a box on his back and another at his feet.Standing upright in front of him, he was wrapped in a cloth.

Although the woman in front of her is old, but from the other's smiles, muscles and facial expressions, it can be seen that the mother-in-law must have been a smash hit beauty back then.

Hearing the other party's loud question, Qiao Jin frowned slightly.

"Hi, mother-in-law."

"Come and tell the old lady, little brother, how much silver did you bring?" The mother-in-law rubbed her red and dry hands and looked at Qiao Jin with excitement.

Qiao Jin replied lightly, "Half two."

Facing the other party's burning gaze, Qiao Jin was as calm as before.Embarrassed, she stopped rubbing her hands.

Yes, half a tael is indeed less.

But the mother-in-law's eyes seemed to be full of wisdom, and she turned around, as if she had thought of something and put down the package.He tiptoed and carefully opened the package.

This is actually a bamboo basket wrapped in cloth. The few pieces in it are not very new, but they are definitely "new clothes" without a single patch.

These are old clothes recycled at low prices. Some candidates have no money, and if they do not do well in the exam and have no way out, they will buy the clothes outside the city.So it's second-hand clothes.

"Come on! Brother, how about not looking at these!?"

"It's okay."

After Qiao Jin stepped forward, stretched out her hand and tossed it back and forth, she gave her evaluation.

"Yo Yo Yo, the requirements are quite high! Old lady, I didn't say I would sell it to you directly!" The mother-in-law blinked at Qiao Jin, and the light in her eyes flickered as she spoke.Qiao Jin didn't speak, just stared at you.After a while, the mother-in-law blinked the dry corners of her eyes, and finally couldn't resist the gaze, and she gave it away, "Don't be so rigid, brother... Otherwise, if you praise my mother-in-law, the mother-in-law will sell it at a loss if her heart softens." Here you go."

Qiao Jin nodded slightly, agreeing.

Afterwards, I thought about it a little stiffly in my head, and after a while, there was a little coldness in my voice.Finally came up with an adjective,

"Grandma, you are so beautiful."

This was probably the first such sincere sentence Qiao Jin came to this world.
