The two coachmen and the four guards were flattered and hurried to thank him. A little pickled vegetables was a small matter, but what was rare was that people could think of them.
Lei Xiangzhi gave himself a spoonful in the end.
As a result, the smell of beef mince filled the air.
Bu Qingyun put the beef mince into the steamed bun, opened his mouth wide and took a big bite, praising loudly, "Delicious! There's a lot of beef in it, sliced very thin and fragrant and soft. "
Ling Qimu just kept eating and kept nodding his head.
"Brother Lei, give me another spoonful?" Qu Zongwen looked at Lei Xiangzhi smilingly. In his hand, he was holding a round biscuit, with no traces of him biting it before. Obviously, this was the second one.
Lei Xiangzhi waved his hand, "There's only such a small pot, do you still want to eat anymore for the next meal?"
Qu Zongwen licked his lips in regret, wondering if he could ask Sis Lei for another can. However, when he thought of Big Brother Lei's face, he quivered, and dispelled this unreliable idea.
It was his first time travelling so he didn't feel wronged. This was his first time travelling so far away and he also had space. His lunch with Lei Tia was an onion cracker and beef mince, as well as the thick soup inside the bamboo tube. When Lei Tia held the soup in his hands, it felt warm. This powder is in space. Thanks to his love of food and the apocalypse, he bought some self-made books on eating various foods, including how to make powdered noodles, rice peels and so on. When he was free, he would make the noodle out of it.
Everyone could smell the fragrance of the beef mince from Qin Mian's horse carriage, but they were too embarrassed to go over.
Teacher Gong said, "We have to speed up our journey in the afternoon or we'll miss the opportunity to stay the night. If you guys are not used to it, you need to take care of each other. "
All the scholars answered in unison, "Yes, Teacher!"
After everyone had finished their lunch, the carriage continued on its way.
When Qin Mian was full in the morning, he sat on the carriage shaft with Lei Tia, they could talk and also bask in the the sun.
Until the night when they slept in a small i
in a small town, nothing bad happened. Teacher Gong and the four guards all secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
On the second day, Qin Mian felt that riding a carriage was boring, and rode his horse around the carriage.
Lei Tia looked at his wife riding on the horse and sometimes ru
ing in front and sometimes retreating back to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and felt a little regretful that he hadn't brought joy with his. If he was happy, he could get Happy to drive the carriage. He and his wife could ride together.
Qin Mian happily ran forward against the spring breeze. Suddenly, as if he sensed something, he turned his head around and met the gaze of the man who was following him.
"It hurts my ass when I sit in the carriage for too long." he whispered.
Lei Tia was silent for a moment, then said: "Riding too long will cause your butt to hurt, and your legs will also hurt."
"Hehehe ??" Qin Mian beamed with joy. So it turned out that this man couldn't leave him alone. He could even say something as direct as this.
He handed the reins to the man and jumped into the wagon.
Lei Tia reached out his long arm and caught him, placing him by his side and then tied the reins to the shaft of the carriage.
Qin Mian took out two apples from the spatial ring, one for each person.
He looked at the forest on both sides of the road and said, "It's quiet."
About two miles away was the terrain of the two mountain paths. Because they had turned a corner, they could not see the end of it.
Lei Tia said: "There's a fight in front."
Qin Mian was shocked, "Could it be that someone is really trying to rob us? "What should we do?"
Lei Tia pinched his shoulder, shook the reins and sped up, passing the three carriages in front.
In the first carriage, Teacher Gong came out to take a breath of fresh air and sat beside the coachman on the shaft.
"Are Boss Lei and Madam busy?" Teacher Gong asked, puzzled.
Qin Mian said concisely: "Teacher Gong, the ground in front of us looks very dangerous. Tia will go ahead to scout first, we will move behind you slowly." He could not let others know that Lei Tia's cultivation was profound enough to hear voices that came from that distance.
His words were vague and Teacher Gong understood them. His expression turned solemn ?C if there were really villains who wanted to cause trouble, the terrain ahead was the best choice.
The expressions of the coachman and the two guards at the front of the caravan changed slightly.
"Thank you, Boss Ley." Teacher Gong said solemnly to Lei Tia.
Qin Mian drove the carriage. Lei Tia handed the unfinished apple in his hand to him, jumped onto his horse, and galloped far away.
"Sister-in-law, what happened?" Lei Xiangzhi poked his head out of the carriage.
Qin Mian always remembered a sentence, "All scholars are useless". Worried that these scholars would panic, he lightly said: "Nothing, your big brother will go ahead and scout."
Lei Xiangzhi nodded, realizing that the matter was not simple. However, Eldest Brother had left Eldest Sister-in-Law here. Thus, it could be seen that everything was under Eldest Brother's control.
Qin Mian nibbled on Lei Tia's apple, he looked up, but Lei Tia was already nowhere to be seen.
Everyone rushed to the passage slowly, there were six masked men attacking Lei Tia. Lei Tia was skillful.
There were two carriages parked by the side of the road. An old man in his fifties, looking like a teacher, was protecting a few panicked scholars behind him. Two of their drivers were wounded and sitting on the ground next to the wheels.
Seeing that his wife had arrived, Lei Tia used his three to five palms to beat the six masked men to the ground, covering his stomach as he moaned.
"Aiyo, aiyo ??"
"Tia." Qin Mian jumped down from the carriage and ran over, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Lei Tia hugged his shoulders. Seeing that the apple in his hand was only left with a fruit core, his expression darkened.
The old man calmed himself down, walked to Lei Tia and bowed: "Thank you, brave warrior. If you had not appeared in time, this old man's entire group would have been killed."
"No need to be so polite." Lei Tia waved his hand and pulled Qin Mian back to his carriage.
Teacher Gong could only head over to talk to the old man himself. He found out that this group of people came from Changle County and also went to the prefecture to take the exam. This old man was Teacher Chen. As they reached this point, a few masked men suddenly jumped out to rob. Teacher Chen was afraid that these bandits would jump over the bush and would not dare to say more. He took the initiative to hand over half of the property. Who knew that these people would still not give up. The two sides began to fight, and the two coachmen, in order to protect the scholars, were all injured. Fortunately Lei Tia had appeared in time to save them.
Fortunately, the two drivers were not seriously injured. Those who travelled far away would usually bring some commonly used medicine just in case. Teacher Chen led two students to help bandage their wounds.
Teacher Gong said to Teacher Chen, "We were just about to pass through Wuwei County, so we tied up these bandits and sent them to the county magistrate so that they wouldn't do any evil deeds to the newcomers. What does Teacher Chen think? "
Teacher Chen's face was dark and filled with hatred. "That's how it should be."
He vacated a carriage, and the four guards used ropes to tie up the six criminals and put them inside. This way, Teacher Chen's carriage would no longer be enough.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia had no intention to let strangers into their carriage.
Teacher Gong was an interesting person, so he did not mention anything about borrowing Qin Mian's carriage. Instead, he let Teacher Chen's students and his own students squeeze together.
The ancient scholars were quite cute.
Teacher Chen could drive a carriage, so Teacher Gong called for a guard to help them drive another carriage. Everyone walked together.
This time, Teacher Gong's carriage was leading the way, while Qin Mian's and Lei Tia's carriage was behind him.
The rest of the students in the horse carriages were all discussing Lei Tia, feeling extremely envious of his abilities.
There were two scholars who wanted to get closer to Lei Tia, but they could only get a few cold looks and bitterly give up.
Fortunately, there was nothing else to do until the time of the Qingtian Mansion.
Because the Palace Examinations were near, the Qingtian Mansion s were bustling with activity, and there were crowds of people on the streets. Of the ten people, eight of them were scholars.
The elders of Qingtian Mansion were interested, and many i
s were named. From the four days before the examination to the day after the examination, they could only receive students and post notices. The owners of these i
s weren't unhappy. If the examinees who stayed in their i
s managed to get a good ranking in the examinations, it would be a powerful advertisement for their i
s. Besides, it wasn't like the examinees didn't have to pay, so they didn't suffer any losses.
Teacher Gong and Teacher Chen brought the students to find an i
to settle down. The day after tomorrow, they would start the exam and tomorrow, they could rest for the day.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia were staying at another i
across the street, and told Teacher Gong to look for them if anything happened. With him taking care of Lei Xiangzhi, there was nothing for them to worry about. After taking a hot bath, they changed into clean clothes and went out for a stroll.
The prefectures were much stronger than the prefectural city, and there were many different types of goods. Qin Mian and Lei Tia strolled for nearly two hours and bought a lot of things, including some specialties, which were not enough for four hands. They had also heard that there was a special kind of snack on Qingtian Mansion, the silver meat patty. Qin Mian bought fifty for the servant to send to the tavern and keep them in the spatial storage.
The second day after arriving at the Qingtian Mansion, the two of them played around in the White Dragon Temple for an entire day.
On the morning of the third day, Qin Mian and Lei Tia sent Lei Xiangzhi to the examination hall. There was one examination every day for a total of three examinations.
These three days, Qin Mian and Lei Tia were still playing around leisurely.
Three days later, the examinees left the examination hall. Some of them were happy, while others were sad. The only thing they had in common was that everyone seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Lei Xiangzhi was also a little thi
er, but he had a pretty good spirit and his eyes were shining with confidence.
Teacher Gong said that it was already late today. If he were to leave today, he might have to sleep out in the open. He might as well stay for the night and leave the next morning.
No one else had any objections.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia did not ask about Lei Xiangzhi's results, and invited him to the big restaurant to have a good meal, and then brought him to buy some top-quality Four Treasures in the study room.
On the way back to the tavern, he bought some delicious snacks that Lei Xiangzhi would give to the teachers and his other classmates.
The next day, everyone ate breakfast and set out on their way home.
After returning home, he spent three days. When he arrived, Qin Mian immediately asked Uncle Fu if there was anything wrong.
Uncle Fu said no.
In fact, Qin Mian was overthinking things. Lei Xiangzhi was going to the Regional Palace to take the examination, but Lei Daqiang, Madam Du and the others were extremely worried.
Another day later, the rankings were released, and the good news of Lei Xiangzhi getting second place in the Palace Test spread to Qingshan Village. Once Lei Xiangzhi became a virgin, he could enter the county's academy to study and participate in the a
ual Academy Exam. If one passed the college entrance examination, they would become an Elementary Scholar. The current Lei Xiangzhi was only a step away from becoming an Elementary Scholar.
Lei Daqiang and Madam Du were so overjoyed that their mouths were wide open. Even the Precinct Head had personally come to congratulate them. He had even taken the initiative to suggest that if Lei Xiangzhi did not have enough entanglement during the Academy Competition, the village would help gather them.
Madam Du raised her eyebrows and raised her head in front of Madam Wei, wanting to celebrate with her guests.
Although he was happy, he was a rational person. Now was not the time to relax.
, Bu Qingyun, Wang Shangwen, Zhao Tianhe and Ling Qianyun had also become Scholars with Lei Xiangzhi. Qu Zongwen and Wang Shangwen's results were also not bad, and the others were ranked lower.
Two days later, Lei Xiangzhi, Qu Zongwen, Bu Qingyun, Wang Shangwen, Zhao Tianhe and Ling Qimu headed to the Zhaoyang County together to study at the Greencloud Institute in preparation for the Academy Competition. After entering the academy, the students would live in the academy. Aside from major holidays, they could only return home once a month. The last two days of the month were holidays.
At the same time, Lei Xianglee, Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Chuntao all became extremely popular. Everyone near Qingshan Village knew that the probability of Lei Xiangzhi becoming an Elementary Scholar was very high, and hoped that he could make these three people his family members before he could become an Elementary Scholar. Once Lei Xiangzhi really becomes an Elementary Scholar, the people from the Lei Family would not necessarily think much of them.
All the matchmakers in the county became more active, and every few days, there would be matchmakers ru
ing towards Old Lei Family.
However, this did not have much to do with Qin Mian and Lei Tia, as the two of them began to busy themselves with the matters of the new restaurant.
