Dress up as a queen and start the game with a card drawing system

At Yunkai Base, a group of women were saying goodbye to their families.

They are female scholars preparing to go to Yingdu to take the exam.

The girls rented several carriages together and rushed to Yingdu together.

"Sister Jiu'er, will we be able to see Sister Liu when we get to Yingchuan?" A girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old asked the older woman next to her.

Jiuer smiled and nodded, "Of course, but now I should call you Master Liu!"

"Sister Liu is now a high-ranking official in Yingdu. I heard she is the same official as the Prime Minister!"

"Oh my God!" The woman in the same carriage was amazed and envious after hearing this.

"Sister Jiu'er, do we also have a chance to become officials?"

Before Jiu'er could say anything, a girl next to her smiled and joked: "This question is really in vain. Why are we sisters rushing to Yingdu for the sake of being an official?"

"That's right!" The girls echoed incessantly.

Suddenly, the car jolted, and the girls screamed and staggered around.

When the car stopped and the girls steadied themselves, Jiuer opened the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"

The driver jumped down to check, and said with a sad face: "The axle is broken and I can't go! I have to go back to find someone to repair the car. You can figure it out yourself!"

After the coachman finished speaking, he untied the horse from the carriage and rode back.

"Hey! Hey!" The girls reacted and shouted to stop him, but the driver had already ridden away!

"What the hell is this!" A woman stamped her feet angrily!

"What can we do?"

"We have been gone for almost a day. We have no clue where we are. We don't even know where we are!"

Before the girls went out, they were prepared to sleep in the wilderness at night, but the prerequisite was that the car would not break down.

Now that the car broke down, their way to the examination room was cut off!

Some people started to shed tears.

Jiuer said: "Don't panic, everyone. Let's walk to nearby villages and towns to see if there are cars to rent. If it doesn't work, let's pool our money together and buy a new one."

After hearing this, the girls calmed down a bit, took out their respective book boxes from the carriage, carried them on their backs, and walked forward together.

But their physical strength is weak and they carry heavy book boxes. They often have to rest after walking for a while.

The biggest problem is not this, but the limited amount of water they carry with them.

If we delay like this, we may run out of water before we even reach the county seat.

All the girls felt a little anxious.

As Jiuer walked, he encouraged everyone and kept looking back and forth.

Because this road was an official road, she had seen several carriages going to Yingdu together before.

Those people even greeted me.

If you can get a ride, even if you only let one person ride to the county seat, you can help call a car to take them.

However, perhaps their luck ran out today. They walked for nearly two hours and did not see any other carriages.

It was getting dark, and the early spring night was very cold.

Everyone had to give up their journey, found a big tree, lit a fire, piled up book boxes to avoid the wind, and put on the thickest clothes they brought and sat huddled together to keep warm.

"Sister Jiu'er, are we going to die?" Li Cuilan, the youngest among the girls, asked.

Xu Wenzhi, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help rubbing her hands and exhaling: "It's impossible to tell. I've heard old people in the town say before that some scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam encountered robbers and thieves. Without money, they had to Unfortunately, the one who returned home accidentally caught wind and cold, so he stopped on the road and died for more than half a year before his family found out."

Jiu'er immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense, now we are under the rule of the Holy Emperor. Where can the robbers and thieves come from?"

"Everyone huddles together to keep each other warm. Don't get cold. As long as you survive tonight, you can walk to the county seat tomorrow."

"Yes."

The girls cuddled together.

Jiuer looked calm on the face, but still worried in his heart.

She knew in her heart that Xu Wenzhi's words just now were not alarmist.

Transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, and the road to exams has not been smooth sailing since ancient times.

Many scholars from poor families could not afford to hire a carriage, so they had to walk to the capital on their own feet. They often had to set out a year or even earlier in advance.

If you encounter heavy rain or snow on the road, you will be directly trapped.

By the time the road is cleared, most of the money on my body has been used up, so I can only linger in place and miss the exam.

And those who are even more unlucky, encounter robbers, or simply fall ill, and most likely end up dying in a foreign country.

But even though the risk of going to Beijing to take the exam is very high, countless talents still flock to it.

Because this is the only way for ordinary people to be promoted, and it is an opportunity to give it a try and transform the carp into a dragon and fly.

At dawn the next day, Jiu'er woke up the girls. They all ate some dry food they had brought with them, then carried their book boxes and started on their way again.

The strange thing is that Li Cuilan, who was chirping in Jiu'er's ears in high spirits yesterday, was at the back today.

"Lan'er, what's wrong?"

Jiu'er realized something was wrong and went over to see her. Li Cuilan saw her and was about to speak, but she fell down.

Everyone was shocked. Jiuer caught her body and raised his hand to touch her forehead, which was hot.

"She has a cold!" Xu Wenzhi looked at her red face.

It's still more than half a day's journey from the county seat. How can this be a good thing?

Li Cuilan was in a daze for a moment, then opened her eyes in her arms. She cried and said to Jiu'er: "Sister Jiu'er, I can't go to Sichuan with you to take the exam. You put me here and let me fend for myself." Destroy it!"

"How can this be possible?" Jiu'er couldn't help but cry, "We sisters came out together and agreed to go back together. How can I leave you behind?"

Another girl also cried and said, "Yes! We promised Aunt Li to protect you. Even if we don't take the exam this time, we still have to take you home with your beard and tail intact!"

"Sisters..." Li Cuilan cried loudly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Jiu'er looked at the others, "I'll take care of Jiu'er here. I'll hire a car to pick us up after I troublesome my sisters to go to the county town."

Xu Wenzhi said: "I'm afraid you can't take care of her alone, so I'll stay here while the other sisters go to the county to find someone."

Jiuer nodded, "That's fine."

So the female soldiers were divided into two groups, Jiu'er and three others stayed, and the remaining four women went to the county seat ahead.

After the four girls left, Jiuer placed the three book boxes side by side and asked Li Cuilan to lie down.

Suddenly, a huge iron box moved over on the official road.

This scene was so weird that Jiu'er and Xu Wenzhi, who were taking care of Li Cuilan, were shocked.

The tin box was military green, with patterns of Dayu's flag on the four outer walls.

It was precisely when they saw the pattern of the national flag that they were just surprised, not scared.

Suddenly, from the small open window of the iron box, four familiar heads poked their heads out, "Sister Jiu'er!"

They were the four girls who had just left.

"Ying'er! Xiao Tao! What are you..." The iron box slowed down slowly when it was near them. The iron doors on both sides opened, and a woman in white walked down carrying a box on her back.

"Where is the patient? Let me take a look." The woman came directly to Jiu'er and the others.

Jiuer pointed at Li Cuilan who was leaning on the book box.

The woman first tried her forehead, then took out an ice pack from the box and put it on her forehead, "Press it on yourself to reduce the fever."

Li Cuilan responded.

"Let's all get in the car first."

Only then did the three of them realize that the tin box was a car.

Jiu'er and others got into the car and found that there were not only Xiaotao and the four girls inside, but also many men and women.

"This is?"

"This is a trial bus!" Xiaotao and the other girls explained first.

"His Majesty knew that it was not easy for scholars to rush to take the exam, so he specially opened a train between major cities in various places. Scholars can get on the train for free with their certificates."

"Moreover, there is a doctor on board and free meals during the trip!"

God!

Jiuer's tears fell, and she was deeply moved.

This is really...

Holy grace is mighty! ! !
