Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

A few days later, Yanqi recovered from his illness, and everyone else had a rest.

Kang Cheng and the others found Wu Bai and said, "Mr. Wu, we have already escorted you to the capital. The guards are finished. We plan to go back now. We are here to say goodbye to Mr. Wu."

"Are you going back?" Wu Bai asked in surprise.

"Yes." Kang Cheng nodded, and continued: "Our brothers have been wandering around the capital for the past few days, and we have accepted someone else's entrustment to help others deliver goods to Kaizhou, so we can no longer stay in the capital."

"So that's the case. I wish Brother Kang and the others a smooth journey." Wu Bai cupped his hands and said.

"Hahaha, thank you Mr. Wu for your auspicious words, let's say goodbye." Kang Cheng left with his men after speaking.

As a result, there are only four people left in the inn, Wu Bai.

It's late October now, Wu Bai didn't know if Kang Cheng and the others could rush back to Kaizhou to celebrate the new year, but he knew that he could only celebrate the new year in the capital.

At this moment, there are still four months before the provincial examination. After discussing with Xiao Zimo, he decided to find another courtyard with a quieter environment to live in.

So the two went out to the dental shop together, and the shopkeeper of the dental shop introduced them to four or five houses that met their requirements. In the end, they chose a second-tier house on South Street to rent.

There are three reasons for choosing this house. First, this house is relatively close to the Tribute Tribute Court. Second, the street next to this house is Dali Temple. There are often soldiers patrolling nearby, so it is relatively safe. Third, the furnishings of this house are not outdated. , they just need a little maintenance to move in.

In the end, they spent 30 taels of silver to rent the yard for half a year.

After renting the house, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo went back to the inn, and ordered Yanshu to pack up the salute, while he went downstairs to the counter and returned the room.

After doing this, the four of them got into the carriage again and headed towards South Street.

Wu Bai took out the key to open the door of the house, and several people walked in. Instead of taking the salute off the carriage, they first took a broom or rag to clean the room.

Before sunset, several people finally cleaned up the rooms and yards where they were going to live, and there were still other rooms and kitchens that were not in use for the time being.

They could only remove the salute from the carriage and put it in the room before going out together.

At this moment, the lights had just come on, and the few of them entered a restaurant for dinner at random.

There is no curfew in the capital. After they had dinner and walked out of the restaurant, they could still see the bustling crowds all over the street. Wu Bai and the others did not rush home, but blended into the crowd, admiring the hustle and bustle of the capital at night.

By the time they got home, it was almost midnight, and the crowd on the street gradually dispersed, and several of them washed up and went to sleep.

The next day, Wu Bai stretched his waist and got up from the bed. He went to the yard to fetch water to wash, and Xiao Zimo also got up at this time. The fetched water has not been used yet.”

Hearing this, Xiao Zimo walked up to him and poured the half bucket of water into the basin, and also started to wash.

After washing up, the two of them went out together and went to a nearby restaurant to pack breakfast food. When they came back, Yanshu and Yanshu had already gotten up and were cleaning the kitchen. They put the breakfast food on the table in the yard and greeted: "Come here quickly Breakfast."

"Okay." Yan Shu and the others put down the rags in their hands, went to the sink to wash their hands, and then came over and sat down to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo also picked up the rags and joined Yanshu and the others. They quickly cleaned out the small kitchen.

A few days later, when it was the turn of the capital officials to sleep, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo took the letter that Master Yu had handed over to them, and according to the address they found out, they headed towards the house of Master Yu's classmate and friend.

This classmate of Master Yu's friend is surnamed Tao, and now he is the secretary of the Imperial Academy, and his official residence is from the fourth rank.

When Tao Siye heard that the porter came to report that there were two young people asking to see him at the door, and the other party claimed to be a student of his classmate friend, he thought about it and ordered the porter to bring them in.

Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo followed the concierge, walked through the corridor and came to the front hall.

In the front hall, Tao Siye was the only one with his back to the entrance of the hall, and the concierge said to Tao Siye, "Master, you have arrived."

Tao Siye turned around and waved at the doorman, who then stepped back.

"Greetings to Mr. Tao." Wu Bai and the two held hands and saluted.

"Excuse me." Tao Siye raised his hand to avoid the ceremony, and asked, "What is your master's name?"

Xiao Zimo took out the letter from his pocket and replied, "Master's surname is Yu. This is the letter he dragged us to deliver to you."

"Oh?" Tao Siye took the letter from Xiao Zimo's hand, opened it and read it.

Soon, he read the contents of the letter.

He looked at Wu and Bai, and began to size them up, as if he wanted to see what was so good about these two people. He actually attracted such praise from Mrs. Yu in the letter, and at the same time, he also asked him to give more pointers to the two before the test. people.

"Although your master asked me to guide you in the letter, I don't know anything about the knowledge of you two, let alone where to guide you." Tao Siye said.

Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo looked at each other, and did not complain about each other. They said to Tao Siye without changing their expressions: "The letter has been delivered, and the task assigned to us by Master Tao is considered complete. You don't need to worry about it, Mr. Tao, just now. Excuse me, let's take our leave now."

Tao Siye observed their expressions carefully, and found that they really didn't have any resentment towards him, so he couldn't help giving them a high look.

He changed the subject and continued: "Don't rush to leave. As the secretary of the Imperial Academy, although I can't teach you in person, I still have something in my hand that I can give you."

Finally, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo left the Tao Mansion with a thick stack of test papers in their hands.

Back home, the two of Yanshu hurried forward to take the test papers in their hands.

"My lord, didn't you two go to Tao Mansion? Why did you come back with so many test papers?" Yan Shu exclaimed.

"Master Tao gave it to us. They are all excerpts from previous years' test papers and Huiyuan's answer sheets." Wu Bai explained.

"Ah! Then I have to be careful not to break it!" Yanshu said in surprise.

Since having these test papers, the lives of Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo have become enriched again. They discuss these papers every day, and gradually feel that they have learned a lot.

In a blink of an eye, the spring snow melts, and the grass grows and the warblers fly.

On the fifth day of March, Wu Bai woke up early and had breakfast.

Yanshu came out of the room and said to him, "My lord, let's go."

Wu Bai looked at Xiao Zimo, who nodded.

They will take the test in a few days. They plan to go for an outing in the suburbs of the city. By the way, they can relax and shut themselves up in the house every day to read and study papers. Wu Bai feels that his head is getting bigger.

Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai sat in the car, Yan Shu sat on the shaft of the car, with a light wave of the horsewhip, the carriage started to move slowly, they passed through the alley, came to the main street, and headed towards the gate of the city.

Along the way, there was a lot of traffic and traffic, everyone went out to get some fresh air, and many carriages were heading towards the gate of the city. They were interspersed among them, not inconspicuous at all.

The carriage got out of the city gate, but the speed picked up, and they soon came to a peach grove outside the city.

Several people got out of the carriage, spent money, handed over the carriage to the nearby villagers to take care of it, and followed the crowd into the peach blossom forest.

Wu Bai happened to be wearing a white outerwear embroidered with peach patterns today, set off by the surrounding peach blossoms, as if the peach blossoms had transformed into a human being, Xiao Zimo stared at him intently, unable to look away.

After a long while, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head to look elsewhere with difficulty.

Wu Bai happened to see Yanshu going to pick peach blossoms, and stepped forward to stop him, so he didn't notice the change in Xiao Zimo's expression.

"My lord, I think this peach blossom matches you very well, and I want to fold a few back and put them in a vase by your window." Yan Shu said with aggrieved tone.

"No, if the peach branch is broken and the skin is exposed, it will be a fly in the ointment. Why don't we just leave it here for everyone to appreciate, and it will be considered as allowing it to bloom." Wu Bai explained.

As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of applause behind them.

Immediately afterwards, someone praised: "That's right, that's right, I really did not misunderstand the two of you, you are just like me, people who love and cherish flowers."

Wu Bai and the others turned around and found that the speaker was Yun Zhijing, and beside him was a charming young lady.

"Young Master Yun, don't come here without any harm." Wu Bai greeted him.

Yun Zhijing looked at Wu Bai, and there was also a flash of surprise in his eyes. He said with a teasing smile: "Mr. Xiao has a good eye, and he would choose such a beautiful Mr. Wu as a classmate friend. I really envy you, alas ! If Mr. Wu is born as an elder brother, I will definitely marry you with a lot of money."

Hearing this, Wu Bai frowned, and retorted: "Mr. Yun was joking. If you talk about the beauty of the city, who can compare to you? Mr. Yun was full of regret when he said that just now. Born the wrong boy."

Xiao Zimo took a step forward, blocking Yun Zhijing's gaze from looking at Wu Bai, and said with displeasure, "Mr. Yun is with you, why waste time on us."

Just as Yun Zhijing was about to reply, the young lady beside him said, "Yes, Mr. Yun~ I know where the peach blossoms are the most blooming in this peach blossom forest. Let's go there and have a look."

"Your beauty invites you, Mr. Yun hastened to accept." Xiao Zimo hurriedly said.

"..." Yun Zhijing rubbed his nose, and took that charming young lady to another place.

This peach blossom forest is quite big, Wu Bai and the others never met Yun Zhijing again.

After returning from the outskirts of the city, Yanshu was thinking about the peach blossom forest.

Wu Bai suggested: "In this case, you might as well go to the street and buy saplings and plant them in the yard. When they grow up in the future, you can still eat peaches."

"That's right!" Yan Shu's eyes lit up, and then he slumped his shoulders and said, "But this is a rented yard, and when the peach tree grows, I won't be able to eat peaches."

Xiao Zimo chuckled when he heard the words, and gave him an idea: "When we move, you can dig it out and transplant it, so that you can eat it."

"Yeah, as expected of Mr. Xiao, he is as powerful as Mr. Yanshu." After Yanshu praised him, he ran out dutifully.

"Yanshu still has such a fiery temper, and he can't get it back." Wu Bai sighed.

"It's good that he is like this. If he becomes mature and sensible one day, then we must worry about him." Xiao Zimo persuaded.

"Yes." Wu Bai agreed.

After a while, Yanshu came back, holding four peach tree seedlings in his hand.

"Why did you come back so soon?"

"Not long after I went out, I happened to see an old man passing by carrying peach saplings, so I bought the peach saplings with him. I bought four, and the four of us each planted one. Then we will have Eat peaches." Yan Shu explained.

Wu Bai joked: "You only bought one sapling, so you won't give it to me in the future, right?"

Yanshu smirked and said: "Of course not, I will leave the biggest peach for you to eat."

Talking and laughing, they found a suitable place in the yard, dug a hole, watered it, and planted four peach tree seedlings together.
