Chapter 131 On the Road
Ye Ximing and others planned to leave Nanxing County on December 6th and go to the capital. Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen were still with them.

Before leaving Nanxing County, Zhou Ran went to Linglong Pavilion, met with Shopkeeper Peng, and told him about his departure.

If she goes to the capital, she will definitely not be able to continue sending embroidery to Linglong Pavilion in the future.

Although shopkeeper Peng was regretful and reluctant, he still smiled and said to Zhou Ran: "It's a good thing that Mrs. Zhou can go to the capital. I heard from our boss that the work at hand has reached the final stage. When he is finished, he will go to Beijing to open another restaurant." We have a branch in Linglong Pavilion. If Mrs. Zhou has any embroidery, she can send it directly to our branch in Beijing. "

"Okay." Zhou Ran agreed.

After returning home, Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing asked, "I heard Shopkeeper Peng said that Boss Qian's family is already finishing the work?"

What the Qian Dong family is busy with is of course the matter of overturning and annexing Jinhua Embroidery Fang. This matter has always been between the Qian Dong family and Ye Ximing, and Zhou Ran didn't pay much attention to it before.

Ye Ximing nodded, "Jinhua Embroidery Square ceased to exist years ago, the Jiang family will completely collapse, and Jiang Peng will become a lost dog."

Zhou Ran didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, but talked about Ye Xiaomei to Ye Ximing again.

Ye Xiaomei is now seven months pregnant and is expected to give birth at the end of January or early February. However, Wei Yan is going to have a medical examination and cannot be with her. Zhou Ran is actually a little worried.

Ye Ximing hugged Zhou Ran and said, "I have told my mother and second brother that they will visit my little sister more often in the future. When my little sister gives birth, they will also go to the Wei Mansion to watch over her during those days."

Although this may not be of much help, there is only so much they can do.

Because they had to travel the next day, the two talked for a while, then hugged each other and fell asleep without doing anything else.

Early the next morning, Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran packed up and waited for Cao Bingwen and Wei Yan to come.

Cao Bingwen came relatively early, and he was still alone. However, when he was in Fucheng before, he won 80 taels of silver against Ye Ximing's Zhongjie Yuan, and he had a little more money around him, so although he still didn't look out of place in his clothes, he didn't look too good. As poor as before.

Not long after Cao Bingwen arrived, Wei Yan arrived.

In addition to the boy and the coachman, Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei also hired two guards for him.

After a few people gathered together, they set off without any further delay.

They went quite smoothly along the way. Although they didn't go fast, they didn't encounter any trouble. By December 16th, they were almost halfway through the journey.

Riding a carriage for more than ten days in a row made Zhou Ran miss the convenient transportation and transportation in later generations.

When they arrived in Qingzhou that day, Ye Ximing looked at Zhou Ran's helpless look and suggested that they rest in Qingzhou for a few days before continuing on their journey.

According to their schedule, they can arrive in the capital before the first month of the year, so there is no need to rush in these few days.

Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen both agreed.

The group of them stayed in Gyeongju for three days. Zhou Ran, who was almost falling apart while riding in the carriage, finally came back to life.

They discussed it and decided to set off the next day and continue their journey. Unexpectedly, when they woke up early the next day, they discovered that it had snowed heavily all night last night, and a thick layer of snow had fallen on the road.

So, they had no choice but to stay in Gyeongju.

Fortunately, the snow didn't last long. After they stayed in Gyeongju for another three days, the snow on the road melted and they were finally able to get on their way again.

A few days later, they arrived at Fuquan County. From Fuquan County, they could cross Tunan Mountain to Shuozhou. Once they arrived at Shuozhou, they were only a few days away from the capital.

But when they entered Fuquan County, they heard that a landslide occurred in Tunan Mountain two days ago, blocking the road from Fuquan County to Shuozhou.

The Tunan Mountain landslide was very serious this time. Although the nearby government sent people there immediately, the road has not been cleared half yet, and all the passers-by who were unlucky enough to be trapped underneath have not been rescued yet.

Zhou Ran and the others felt scared after hearing this. If they had not delayed a few days in Qingzhou, according to their itinerary, they would have probably been passing through Tunan Mountain when the landslide occurred.

The road on the Tunan Mountain side was impassable, so Ye Ximing and the others could either continue to wait in Fuquan County for the government to clear the road before continuing on their way, or they could choose to take a detour.

If they take a detour, they may have to travel four or five days longer than originally planned.

After discussion, they decided to stay in Fuquan County first and wait for the road to pass.

It was already getting late, so Ye Ximing and the others found an inn. The inn they found was called Yunlai Inn. Yunlai Inn was the largest inn in Fuquan County.

After entering the inn and asking for a room with the shopkeeper, Ye Ximing was waiting for Zhou Ran in the lobby when suddenly a handsomely dressed young man came down from upstairs.

The handsome man was none other than Fang Yichen, who came in second in the provincial examination.

Fang Yichen raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Ye Ximing and others, and then said with a smile: "Ye Jieyuan, what a coincidence."

"Master Fang." Ye Ximing and the others bowed their hands in greeting.

Fang Yichen returned the greeting, and then asked with a familiar smile: "Ye Jieyuan, we are destined to meet each other. I heard that there is a very good Yicui Tower in Fuquan County. We are about to go see it. Can Ye Jieyuan come with us?" "

Yicui Tower, as soon as I heard the name, was not a good place. Just as Ye Ximing was about to refuse, someone had already spoken before him: "Fang Yichen, you are a scholar after all. What happened in Tunan Mountain, and there are still people who are still being suppressed." There is no rescue below, since you still have fun."

Ye Ximing and the others turned around and saw that the person speaking was Han Maoyan who had just come in from outside the inn. He looked a little embarrassed at this time and didn't know where he came from.

Fang Yichen smiled nonchalantly after hearing Han Maoyan's words and said, "What Brother Han said, I am just a small official, not an official of Fuquan County. What does what happened in Tunan Mountain have to do with me?"

"We scholars must have the world in mind and take the world as our own responsibility. How could you, Fang Yichen, say such cold-blooded words?" Han Maoyan accused Fang Yichen.

Fang Yichen shrugged, "I can't compare to your enthusiasm, Brother Han. I just don't know how much help you can give me, Brother Han, by going to the place where the disaster occurred today."

When Han Maoyan heard this, his face suddenly became ugly. He wanted to help, but after he went there, the people in the government office did not let him come forward to help.

Fang Yichen smiled softly and said with a hint of ridicule: "Brother Han, instead of causing trouble for others, why not come with me to have some fun."
