Chapter 328
Spring is just around the corner, and the time is set in February. It is conceivable that Lan Xi can only celebrate the New Year on the road.

At the end of November, Lan Xi planned to go on the road. After all, the journey was far away, and it would take about a month and a half. It might be faster if she took the water route, but in this weather, as she walked, the water surface was frozen.

So it is safer to go by land.

Go to Fucheng first, then find a convoy in Fucheng, and then go to the capital with them. After all, there are very few convoys going to the capital in the county.

Chang Erhai and Lan Xi wore thick clothes, and spread two layers of thick quilts in the carriage, and then took the prepared food and Lan Xi's books, and traveled far away under the eyes of everyone.

Fortunately, all the way to the capital went smoothly, Chang Erhai and Lan Xi arrived at the feet of the emperor, it was already the twelfth of January.

At this time, the capital city was covered in snow because of the snow that had just fallen. On the wide streets, vehicles passed by among the crowd.

There were still a pair of bright red lanterns hanging on the shops on both sides of the street. At this time, the shops were already open, and the bustling crowd came out of each shop and went to the next shop.

Even the most common West Market in Beijing is much more lively than Fucheng.

But Lan Xi didn't have time to participate in it, and Chang Erhai led the carriage through the bustling downtown to find an inn.

Lan Xi had a general understanding of the situation in the capital city before. To the east of the capital city is a majestic and solemn palace, while the south street is the mansions of some dignitaries.

West Market is a bustling market, where inns, restaurants, shops, etc. stand tall. As for North Street, it is a place for ordinary people.

After finding an inn to settle down, Lan Xi and Chang Erhai took a good wash, and then had a good sleep to wash away the tiredness of many days.

During the driving for more than a month, although Chang Erhai and Lan Xi took turns driving, most of the time they still followed the team and slept in the wild, so naturally they didn't have a good rest.

Even though Lan Xi was physically strong, she was a little tired after a long time.

Next, Lan Xi stayed behind closed doors. Because of the New Year and the upcoming Lantern Festival, the capital was naturally very lively.

But Lan Xi didn't intend to participate in it, the closer the Lantern Festival was, there were too many people on the street, and Lan Xi didn't bother to go out to crowd people, but Chang Erhai went out for a stroll,
But after a round, the hat was squeezed crookedly, and one of the gloves Liu Cuie sewed for him was lost, which made Chang Erhai very distressed.

After that, Chang Erhai and Lan Xi stayed at the inn, waiting for the test.

However, the weather in the capital was really unbearable for a while, the north wind was blowing like a knife on people's faces, when Lan Xi rushed to the examination room with the test basket, Chang Erhai next to him tightened his clothes.

I couldn't help but sneezed. That's right, Chang Erhai was honored to catch a cold because he couldn't adapt to the weather in the capital. Fortunately, he reacted promptly and drank two doses of Chinese medicine, and he got better.

On the ninth day of February, Lan Xi was going to take the exam, and Chang Erhai followed him with some anxiety.

It was still very cold in the capital city in February, and there were three exams in the general examination, each of which was three days, so naturally they had to spend the night in the exam dormitory.

So Lan Xi prepared thick clothes in advance, just because she was afraid that the quilt she was given would be thin.

The general examination is more rigorous, and there are four chief examiners, all of whom are bachelors of the Imperial Academy, and there are 18 other examiners together.

Fortunately, Lan Xi is not afraid. I have to say that Lan Xi's luck is not bad. At least after so many exams, she has not been assigned to a stinky number. The test booths are also relatively good, and there are no loopholes. The quilt is also considered normal, although it has a musty smell.

After the exam, Lan Xi and Chang Erhai waited for the results, but the list would not be released until early March, and there was about half a month in between.

During this period of time, the business of major restaurants was booming, and Lan Xi was also invited to participate in two poetry gatherings.

Lan Xi naturally saw Sun Dinghong and Fang Yanming, these two were the two that Lan Xi had befriended in Fucheng before, Sun Dinghong was only fifteen years old, and Fang Yanming was crowned last year, married and had children.

The three of them are also considered young, standing together can be called a romantic talent.

The grandfather of Sun Dinghong's family was the Zuo Shilang of the household department of Zhengsanpin, and although Fang Yanming's family background was ordinary, his father was also a Juren.

From this point of view, Lan Xi's identity is the most ordinary, but the few of them don't care about their respective backgrounds, and just make friends as friends.

Once, the three of them participated in a poetry meeting together, and when they communicated freely, the three of them sat in a corner.

Sun Dinghong couldn't help complaining, and his words were a little childish, "I really don't understand why this Laoshizi poetry meeting is held. It's better to read this miscellaneous talk at home, but my grandfather also said that he would come out and communicate with the students around him."

Fang Yanming next to him smiled lightly, "Dinghong's words are good. If you want to get together, why not get together with a few friends and talk about the world. It's better than being embarrassed now. If you have time, it's better to tease the children at home."

Fang Yanming already has a daughter, who is not yet one year old. The soft and cuddly child makes this college father who is a new father very interesting. He always teases her when he has nothing to do.

It's not because he doesn't want to part with the child. He went to Beijing to rush for the exam this time, and his wife and child also came to the capital together.

Lan Xi shook her head amusedly, both of them seemed to be impatient with the poetry meeting, the three of them got to know each other, it must be said that it was fate, but also because of their personality.

"You two also restrain yourself, otherwise there will be no invitations for you in the future."

"By the way, Hong Ding, are there any interesting things going on in the capital recently?"

When Lan Xi raised a topic, Sun Dinghong immediately became interested. For some reason, although he has the reputation of a child prodigy, he is very fond of gossip, and he also likes anecdotes and gossip books on weekdays.

Sun Dinghong scanned around secretly and found that the others were a little distance away from them. He pulled Lan Xi and Fang Yanming's left and right arms to bring them closer, and then lowered his voice.

The eagerness to try in the words can't be hidden, "The second-ranked Lord Kang, although he already has a concubine, but recently made a fuss about marrying a side concubine, especially the side concubine who is going to marry is a woman from ordinary people.

Lord Kang used the excuse of saving his life as a side concubine. You must know that the position of side concubine is not available to women from ordinary families. Worthy. "

"However, this prince has the idea of ​​not marrying a non-female, but the closest Concubine Shu in the palace, who is also the biological mother of this Prince Kang, is looking for a side concubine for him. This is really nice."

"Everyone who heard the news said that in order to repay the grace of saving his life, Lord Kang promised himself with his body. He is really a kind man who knows how to repay his kindness."

For some reason, at the end of the talk, Sun Dinghong winked at Lan Xi and the two with expressions that you understand.

Lan Xi is confused, should I understand?Why do you, a child with no hair at all, still make such an expression.
