Married a Scholar

111-120

Chapter 111

　　▍Set off to the border.

　　At exactly 9 o'clock, the sound of the gong for the announcement of the results rang out.

　　Meng Yining looked up in anticipation. Although he knew that with Xia Wen Ze's ability, he would definitely have no problem passing the exam to become a scholar, he was still a little nervous.

　　Not long after, a big man ran up with an excited face, "Master, Master Ning, Master, you passed, you passed, you got first place."

　　"Really." Meng Yining's eyes lit up.

　　"Really, the official with the good news will be here soon." The big man was sweating, but even so, he was still excited.

　　Meng Yining threw him a tael of silver, "Fang Liang, are the copper plates ready?"

　　"Master Ning, they are ready." He Fangliang couldn't help but smile, and patted the bag on his shoulder.

　　Xia Wenzhe watched this scene with a smile on his face, and his eyes never left Meng Yining.

　　Sure enough, soon, the sound of bronze bells approached Wenhui Building, and the names of the students on the list were read out. Some were happy, some were sad, and life was full of different things.

　　When the name of the top student of Shangyao Village Xia Wenze was read, Meng Yining's eyes were as bright as stars in the sky. He rushed to Xia Wenze and said to He Fangliang, "Fangliang, go and give him the wedding money."

　　Xia Wenze reached out and hugged him, "Ning'er."

　　"Brother Aze, congratulations." Meng Yining smiled and kissed Xia Wenze on the face, laughing.

　　Xia Wenze restrained himself and gently stroked his face.

　　In the evening, Guqu County, which had been bustling all day, finally became deserted. Meng Yining was tossed and turned by Xia Wenze for several times, and fell asleep limply.

　　The next day, Meng Yining got up and rubbed his cheeks into all kinds of ugly shapes in bed without saying anything. "Get up quickly. I'm so hungry. Check if there's anything missing today. If not, we'll leave tomorrow."

　　Xia Wenze let him play tricks on his face. He knew that he had bullied him last night, so he didn't dare to say anything.

　　The next day, before dawn, He Fangliang took people to check the things on the carriage again. After making sure that there was nothing missing, Meng Yining and Xia Wenze got on their own carriages and waved back, "Let's go."

　　Twenty-one carriages left the city as soon as the city gate opened.

　　At this moment, the color of the morning sun just appeared in the sky, and the early birds were chirping and jumping on the branches. Outside the city gate, there were already people waiting to enter the city.

　　Meng Yining sat beside Xia Wenzhe. The front frame of the carriage had been retracted. The morning breeze blew on his face, but the coolness was limited. "It's already mid-September, and it's so hot so early in the morning."

　　Meng Yining glanced at the weather on the plane trader. It was a high temperature for the day.

　　Xia Wenzhe waved his whip, "It won't be cool until the end of the month." The temperature in the past two years was like this. After October, the temperature will slowly drop.

　　Meng Yining looked back and said, "Fortunately, I asked Fang Liang to drive the same carriage as ours at all costs, otherwise I would have been so hot all the way."

　　The carriage carrying goods in the back, except for the open rear compartment, the driver's seat in the front was exactly the same as theirs, in order to block the sun and snow.

　　Don't expect to be protected from wind and rain. I don't know when it will rain.

　　Meng Yining took out a simple map and took a look. From Guqu County to the border, one has to pass through twelve prefectures and more than thirty county towns, not to mention the villages and towns, which are not marked one by one on the map.

　　If nothing unexpected happens, it will take more than two months.

　　And the closer to the border, the colder the temperature will be. Even though they are dying of heat now, it will be freezing cold when they reach the border in November.

　　"I heard that there are bandit problems in Huanliang City, but it's not so bad in the front." All this was learned from the housekeeper Ren. Huanliang City is the third city before Yusha City at the border. In front is Yongning City where the Southern King's Mansion is located. After Yongning City, in front is the two cities on the left and right, where the West Army Camp and the East Army Camp are located, which are located inside the Great Wall and guard the various ethnic groups outside the territory.

　　Yes, this world also has the Great Wall. It is said that it was built by an emperor of the first two dynasties, but it is impossible to find out which emperor it was.

　　But it is precisely because of this Great Wall that the various foreign tribes outside the Great Wall that are eyeing the enemy are completely blocked out.

　　Meng Yining pointed at the mountains and forests outside Huanliang City, and was a little confused. Although Huanliang City is in front of Yongning City, it is not far from Yongning City where the Southern Prince's Palace is located. Why didn't the Southern Prince take care of these bandits?
