460 “Female Counterattack (H)” Chapter 459

016 New Top Scholar

Xu Shi felt guilty about the unexpected incident that night. In addition, in Zheng State, a person is equivalent to half a master. Just when they were checking out, the shopkeeper Tong of the Pingyao Inn clasped his hands and said, “Master Zhu, I know you are going to Beijing to take the exam. It just so happens that a caravan of my family is transporting silk north to the border. If you and your husband don’t mind it, how about you go to Beijing with the caravan?”

Zhu Wanyi and Ning Wan looked at each other. The caravan was equipped with thugs to guard it, and the horses had plenty of food and fodder. It was much safer and more convenient than the two of them traveling alone. Seeing the lady blinking, Zhu Wanyi clasped his fists and said, “It won’t be too troublesome for the shopkeeper, right?”

Shopkeeper Tong waved his hands repeatedly: “No, no! I have already said hello to the caravan consul. It’s not a special trip to see you two off, but a number of carriages accompanying you. And Captain Ni has sent word that the thief who committed the crime that night has been brought to justice, so you two don’t have to worry.”

“That’s it, good work.”

This caravan is well-capitalized and can handle both black and white. It is said that it has followed the path of a certain powerful minister in the court. The consul is very smart. Today, he is just an unknown minister. Who knows that he will not be a very popular minister in the future? It is always good to build good relationships with others.

Therefore, we will take care of the two of you carefully along the way, so that people will not feel left out, nor will they be so enthusiastic that they are difficult to accept.When she was bored, Ning Wan took out a storybook she got from her luggage and asked Zhu Wanyi to read it to him. Zhu Wanyi, who was very thin-skinned, would automatically replace a bold and explicit short sentence with a beautiful and subtle idiom, reading a popular and bright erotic storybook in a nondescript manner.Ning Wan couldn’t help laughing.

Zhu Wanyi changed the dressing on the wounds on his arms on time – the golden sore medicine was also miraculous. After the third time he took off the cloth, the wound was scabbed.

In just ten days, the two of them successfully arrived in the capital.The majesty of the capital city is unmatched by local towns like Hanzhou. The rammed-earth city wall alone is about twenty meters thick, and there are twelve city gates in the city. After entering the city, you will be greeted by cars and horses, pedestrians coming and going, and broad and majestic streets dotted with houses. Once you see it, you can’t help but feel the prosperity of the Zheng Kingdom.

Nowadays, imperial examinations are very important. All students who take part in the imperial examination on September 15th will be arranged to attend the oldest university residence hall in the capital. This not only facilitates the exchange of knowledge among students, but also facilitates teachers to secretly examine the students’ conduct.

Zhu Wanyi and his wife were unable to live together in the school, so they were secretly worried. Ning Wan had already found a dagger with a weak cicada wing on the street, and rushed to him excitedly and said: “My lord, look, this knife is thinner than a piece of paper, but it is a sharp tool that can cut iron like mud. Let’s go, it’s getting late, we have to go and rent a house near the school.”

“It’s a good idea, but we don’t have that much money now.”

“Yes, I exchanged all the gold into silver notes, which is enough to buy a mansion in the capital.”

Hearing that she was still so confident, Zhu Wanyi’s eyebrows were raised high, almost straight into her temples. Ning Wan quickly hugged his arm: “My husband, think about it, if I throw the gold that cannot be burned on the street, it will still be troublesome for the people who pick it up.We cannot give it away directly. If we are in a difficult situation, few people can be more anxious than you, my husband, who is carrying his family at this time.It is better to spend this money in exchange for things, so that the merchants or landlords can feel at ease when they collect the cash.”

“This…”

During the scientific examination, Zhu Wanyi came up with many wonderful policy theories at his fingertips. However, he was so confused by the strong arguments made by his bandit wife that he could not defend himself.

That’s not all, Ning Wan also swung forward, grabbed both of his sleeves, and fixed his eyes with a pair of bright eyes: “Besides, it’s only two months until the palace examination. There are dragons and crouching tigers in this capital. How can I bear the heart of my husband to sacrifice precious study time and go out to sell calligraphy and painting to support my family.”

Thus, the historical legacy of “ill-gotten gains” ended with Zhu Wanyi’s complete defeat.

More importantly, he couldn’t bear to let the female bandit, who was used to having sex, suffer because of him.While compromising, he secretly vowed in his heart that he would stand out in this palace examination.
