Literati Sanctification

Chapter 57
Heng Xiulin, who was sitting in the carriage, originally wanted to catch up on sleep, but after all the tossing, he was no longer sleepy. After thinking about it, he got out of the carriage and sat outside with Xiaoyu.

"My lord, you can just stay inside, as long as you have Xiaoyu to drive the carriage."

Seeing Heng Xiulin coming out, Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then showed a sweet smile, and said to Heng Xiulin, she naturally knew that her son got up a little early today, so he should be a little sleepy .

"If you drive the carriage alone, you will be bored later. It will be better if you chat together."

Hearing the words, Heng Xiulin shook his head and said, "I don't know how long this journey is, and the speed of the carriage is not very fast. It would be extremely boring to drive the carriage all the way like this."

Xiaoyu heard that she knew that her young master's decision would not be changed by her few words, so she just lowered her head and smiled slightly, and said nothing more.

In her opinion, it was Heng Xiulin who cared about her, and she hadn't enjoyed such a feeling for a long time, so she didn't want to refuse this hard-won warmth.

"Where is our first stop?"

After leaving Heshui City, the people on the road gradually became thinner, and then on both sides of the road, except for some green mountains and green waters, there was nothing else, and the road also became bumpy.

The shock-absorbing ability of the carriage was not very good in the first place. Although some smooth repairs have been done on this road, it still made Heng Xiulin extremely uncomfortable to sit on and was extremely uncomfortable. Heng Xiulin directly took it. A thick cloth was placed underneath.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu covered her mouth and snickered, and then said, "We have to rush to Liuyue Town before dark, otherwise there will be no other places to stay along the way, and we will sleep on the street gone."

While driving the carriage, Xiaoyu said, and Heng Xiulin frowned when he heard the words, seeing the situation, he had to sit in the carriage all the way, and then he had to go somewhere before he could rest.

If this is the case, there will be some suffering along the way, Heng Xiulin frowned when he thought of this, it seems that when he comes back, he has to make a special carriage, otherwise the journey will be miserable.

"Young master, will the emperor really want to do it for the officials when we go to the imperial city this time? Will we never come back after that?"

Xiaoyu was at the side, suddenly thought of something, and then asked Heng Xiulin, Heng Xiulin at the side shook his head when he heard the words.

"I don't know anything about the official position, but even if it is offered to me, I don't want it. When the time comes to receive the reward, come back early."

Heng Xiulin said to Xiaoyu on the side, he has no interest in being an official, and if possible, he doesn't even want to go to the imperial city.

It's just that the emperor has issued an imperial decree. Although disobedience of the imperial decree here is not a crime of beheading, it is still very serious. Therefore, according to the current situation, if it is not necessary, he still does not want to do it of.

Moreover, even if he didn't want to do this, his parents couldn't help him. Didn't they see that after the imperial decree came down, his parents urged him to go to the imperial city?So as not to delay the emperor's affairs.

It can be seen from this that, in the hearts of his parents, this imperial decree is majestic.

"Why, doesn't the young master like being an official?"

Hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately asked curiously. In her perception, it seems that there are not many people who don't like to be an official. Moreover, the ultimate goal of scholars is not always to want to be in the court. Half-time official, what about returning home in the end?
Why is it that it doesn't work when she comes to her young master right now? Xiaoyu was a little strange, then looked at her young master and asked, after getting along with Heng Xiulin for a long time, she sometimes became casual.

Because she knows that her son will not be angry with her because of these things, and she can relax and ask her son some things by his side.

"Of course I don't like it. What's so good about being an official? You get up early and get late every day, and when something happens, you have to deal with it. If you can't solve it at that time, it will be a disadvantageous end. The location is all kinds of stumbling blocks, making you uneasy."

"Compared to some places, the intrigue here is much more serious. If one is not good, it is very common to be taken directly to prison. You say, such an official, give it to you, do you want it?"

Hearing this, Heng Xiulin immediately shook his head, and then said, when he spoke, he looked disgusted, obviously in his heart, he really hated this official.

The reason why Heng Xiulin was so repelled by this was also because he was influenced by his previous life. In his previous life, he was also a senior executive, so he knew very clearly about some of the intrigues.

And at that time, it was just a department executive. When it comes to the imperial city, the center of all power, one can imagine what it will be like. So, for this, Heng Xiulin Nature is extremely repulsive.

"But if you are an official, you can have a lot of power."

Listening to Heng Xiulin's words, Xiaoyu half-understands, or doesn't quite understand the meaning of what Heng Xiulin said.

"You have to know that there are always some people who are not interested in that, such as your son and me."

Hearing the words, Heng Xiulin shook his head immediately, knowing that Xiaoyu didn't understand these things, so he didn't say anything more, just said something lightly.

At this time, Xiaoyu finally didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and Heng Xiulin didn't talk about it anymore. Seeing that the journey was boring, Heng Xiulin also picked out some small stories and told them to Xiaoyu. Listen, Xiaoyu, who was listening along the way, had gleams of light in his eyes, but his interest became high instead, and he didn't feel a little boring at all.

The two of them drove for a day, and they both sat in the carriage. Even at noon, they ate some dry food in the carriage, which was specially prepared by Yuanshi and put in the carriage.

But at this time, Heng Xiulin discovered a bad situation, that is, in the package, Yuan's gave 80 taels of silver and handed it over to Xiaoyu.

The 80 taels of silver was already the limit of what the family could afford. Heng Xiulin knew this, but the 80 taels of silver might not be enough for the two of them to go to the imperial city.

Heng Xiulin thought in his mind that the journey along the way would consume a lot of food and drink for the two of them, so what about adding the horse, it would also cost a lot of money for feeding, right?

Then came to the imperial city, what if the emperor didn't reward too much silver?So what should I do? In Yuan's mind, I'm afraid that as long as he goes to the imperial city, the emperor will inevitably bestow a lot of money and things?
Thinking of this, Heng Xiulin smiled wryly. He was very resistant to putting his hope on others, but right now, it seems that someone has already done this.

"So along the way, we have to save food and money?"

Heng Xiulin said something distressed to Xiaoyu, wondering how to get some unexpected money, otherwise Heng Xiulin really felt insecure.

Otherwise, if you really arrived at the imperial city, things like that would be very expensive. Don't let the two of you become beggars at that time, that would be really shameful.

"My lord, the county seat is ahead, where should we rest for the night, and then hurry on our way."

While Heng Xiulin was meditating, Xiaoyu said something. Heng Xiulin looked up and saw the small town in front of him. Seeing this, he nodded. The sun has already started to set. At this time, there is nothing to catch up with. On the road, it is better to rest for one night and rush on the road.

What's more, Heng Xiulin was already exhausted after sitting in the carriage for a whole day. Even the extremely comfortable carriage in his previous life would break a person after sitting for a whole day, let alone the carriage now.

After Heng Xiulin made his decision, Xiaoyu drove the carriage straight to the county seat, just wandered casually, and then stopped in front of a restaurant, ordered the waiter to feed the horses with good grass, and the two went up together Restaurant.
