The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

Yun Jin smiled and said, "I started learning kung fu from my master when I was five years old, and I've been learning for ten years."

Yun Jin did indeed start learning kung fu at the age of four and studied for twenty years, but she learned it in modern times.

Huang Weixue was very excited. The journey to the capital for the imperial examination was long and fraught with the risk of encountering bandits. Having someone skilled in martial arts to accompany him would certainly make him much safer.

Huang's mother was overjoyed. She patted Huang Weixue's arm and whispered, "Son, I think it's a good idea! Let's do it this way. With this young hero accompanying us, we won't have to worry about travel expenses, and the journey will be safe..."

Huang Weixue nodded, but remained calm, looking at Yun Jin: "You'll help me on the condition that you come to the capital with me. What's your purpose in coming to the capital? What if you're a bad person? After all, people can be treacherous..."

Meeting his probing gaze, Yun Jin frankly said, "To be honest, I'm going to find my family. My master found me on his travels, took me to the mountain, raised me, and taught me martial arts. I only recently learned that my parents are in the capital. The main reason I'm coming to the capital with you is that I haven't had a registered residence on the mountain and can't go to the capital on my own. Also, I want to find a companion so I can look after you on the road."

She spoke earnestly, her eyes revealing no falsehood, making it impossible not to believe her.

Huang Weixue remained silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

The other party could cover all the expenses and knew kung fu, so he was obviously not an ordinary person. But her request was very simple: she just wanted to borrow an identity to go to Beijing to find her relatives.

For him, this was practically a windfall, solving both his travel expenses and his safety; there was no reason to refuse.

Yun Jin watched as the favorability rating above his head fluctuated between 35% and 40, and couldn't help but laugh. This scholar was indeed cautious.

"Okay, I promise you." Huang Weixue finally nodded. "However, you must remain in your place on the road and not cause any trouble."

"Of course." Yun Jin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Don't worry, Young Master Huang, I will never cause you any trouble."

Mother Huang immediately beamed and quickly poured a bowl of water for Yun Jin, saying, "Quick, drink some water. You're a young child, but you're quite capable."

"Thank you, Auntie." Yun Jin took the water and drank it all in one gulp.

"May I ask your honorable name, young brother?" Huang Weixue asked.

"My name is Xiaobai." Yun Jin made up a name on the spot. "It has no given name, you can just call me Xiaobai."

"Xiao Bai..." Huang Weixue nodded, "So when do you plan to set off?"

"I'm ready anytime," Yun Jin said. "I can leave whenever Young Master Huang is ready."

Huang Weixue pondered for a moment and said, "The journey to the capital will take at least two months. I need to get used to the local climate and environment beforehand, so I have to set off in the next couple of days. Tomorrow I'll go back to the village to say goodbye to my mentor, and then go to the government office to process the necessary paperwork for the journey to the capital. I should be able to leave in two or three days at most."

Seeing Yun Jin nod in agreement, he then asked, "Where do you live now?"

"I..." Yun Jin paused, "To be honest, I just arrived in the county town and haven't found a place to stay yet. If it's convenient, I wonder if I could stay at Scholar Huang's house for a few days? That way, I can get to know him better beforehand and avoid giving myself away on the way."

Madam Huang quickly replied, "That's perfect! The inner room of my house is empty; it can be tidied up and you can move in. Young hero, would you mind staying there if you don't mind?"

"Auntie, you don't need to call me Young Hero, just call me Little White," Yun Jin quickly said.

Huang Weixue did not object, but said, "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Xiaobai."

"Thank you, young master, thank you, auntie." Yun Jin stood up and thanked them.

The reason she sought out Huang Weixue was because the original owner's information showed that Huang Weixue was a pure-hearted person who, despite being poor, had integrity and was trustworthy.

Moreover, he later went to the capital and became the second-highest scorer in the imperial examination, so Yun Jin could be considered to have formed a good relationship with him.

"By the way," Yun Jin added, "please keep my identity a secret, young master and aunt. To the outside world, I am your page."

"Don't worry about that," Huang Weixue said solemnly. "We're not gossipy people."

Huang's mother nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I won't say a word to outsiders."

After reaching an agreement, Huang's mother took Yun Jin to his room.

That small room was connected to Huang's mother's room, separated only by a door. The room was simply furnished with a bed and a table, but it was kept very clean.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiaobai, please stay here for now." Huang's mother said somewhat apologetically, "The house is very simple."

"Auntie, you're too kind. This is already very kind of you." Yun Jin smiled and took out two taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to her. "Auntie, please take this silver and buy some things for the young master to use on his journey, such as writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as some sturdy clothes. All of these need to be prepared."

"How can that be!" Mother Huang quickly waved her hand. "You've already covered our travel expenses, how can we take your money again?"

"Take it." Yun Jin stuffed the silver into her hand, her tone sincere. "It's always good to have some extra money on the road, even if you're poor. Besides, I'm going to the capital with the young master, and I'll need his help. This little bit of silver is nothing. Don't worry, I'll take good care of the young master on the road and make sure he doesn't suffer any injustice."

Looking at the silver in her hand, and then at the young yet steady and reliable boy before her, Huang's mother's eyes welled up slightly. She nodded and said, "On behalf of my whole family, thank you. You have been a great help to us."

When Huang's mother finished settling Yun Jin and left, the favorability rating above her head had reached 85%.

After she left, Yun Jin lay on the hard bed, gazing at the moonlight outside the window, and finally felt a little more at ease.

She was finally coming to the capital, the place that held the secrets of the original owner's past.

No matter how much wind and rain lies ahead, she must keep going, for the sake of the original owner and for her own sake.

Over the next two days, Yun Jin accompanied Huang Weixue back to his hometown in the countryside to say goodbye to his mentor.

His mentor was an old scholar in the clan, which shows that Huang Xiucai was a grateful person.

After returning from his hometown, Huang Weixue took Yun Jin to the county government office to process his travel documents.

With his status as a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, the procedures went exceptionally smoothly, and in less than half a day, he received the official document stamped with the county government's red seal.

These past two days, Huang's mother has been busy, steaming two full baskets of mixed grain buns and dried meat as provisions. She also gritted her teeth and bought a good piece of fabric for Huang Weixue to make a thick long gown and shoes. After all, the further we go towards the capital, the colder it gets, and these things need to be prepared in advance.

Yun Jin didn't rest either. She discovered that the food in the space could always stay fresh, so she went on a shopping spree in the county town: she bought ready-made steamed buns and mantou, and also prepared some cooked noodles and wontons. She also bought cooking utensils such as iron pots and earthenware bowls, as well as a lot of vegetables and tofu.

She went to the pharmacy and bought some Chinese herbs, asking the pharmacist to grind them into powder. She then prepared some medicine for herself and carried it with her in case of emergency.

She happened to hear on the street that a merchant was going to deliver goods to the prefectural city by horse-drawn carriage, so she negotiated with the merchant for five taels of silver to take them to the prefectural city, which would save her a lot of walking.

Therefore, Huang Weixue felt that with Yun Jin as his page, his journey to the capital would be smooth sailing.
