Chapter 25 Departure

Before dawn the next day, Chen Wentao woke Achen up early. After a hasty breakfast, he only took some necessities of life and set off.

It was just dawn when he arrived at the entrance of the village. Since most people had already said goodbye last night, there were not many people coming to the entrance to say goodbye to him at the moment. Apart from his grandparents, the only one was Yaya's father Zhang Baixing.

"Uncle Zhang, why are you here?" Ah Chen looked into the distance and saw that the carriage to pick him up hadn't arrived yet, so he started chatting.

"Achen, you are about to leave this village. Uncle Zhang and I also left here to go to school. After thinking about it, I still want to warn you. I hope you won't follow my old path."

"Uncle Zhang also went to school?" Ah Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not here to pursue him for taking Yaya's place.

"I just went to the small courtyard, there is nothing to say." Zhang Baixing waved his hands as if it was really nothing. But you must know that he did not have any favorable conditions back then, and he must have passed the exam based on his true talents and studies.

This is very difficult.

"The only thing I want to say is that there are many people outside who think you are inferior to them because you come from the mountains. They keep crowding you and looking down on you."

"Yes." Ah Chen nodded. He had guessed this situation. "Teacher Yu said that it is best not to pay attention to this situation and ignore them."

Zhang Baixing pondered for a moment and then said: "It is good to ignore you, but some people will think that you are afraid and dare not resist. So they will bully you even more and belittle you."

"Sometimes, silence is not the best choice. Only resistance can change other people's views on you."

Ah Chen thought for a moment in his mind, "Ah Chen, remember this." After saying that, Ah Chen saluted Zhang Baixing as Yu Tongwen taught, and Zhang Baixing returned the same salute.

"Okay, young man, the chat is over. It's time for you to go." Chen Wentao walked over from the side. Looking along, he saw a carriage slowly approaching from a distance.

As the carriage came closer, others could see its appearance clearly. The coachman sitting in front was very young, looking like he was only in his twenties. The carriage behind did not look gorgeous, and there was no curtain blocking the entrance. But on the contrary

, the overall appearance is not shabby, there is no huge damage to the whole body including the wheels, it seems that it has not been put into use for a long time.

Ah Chen got on the car surrounded by everyone. Chen Wentao finally gave instructions: "Ah Chen, we won't follow you. You must take care of yourself there." The carriage started slowly, and everyone followed it and was reluctant to leave.

.Wang Xiulan shouted: "Achen, if you have a vacation, you must come back early!!"

Ah Chen stuck his head out from the window next to the carriage and replied: "Okay, I understand. You should go back quickly." Under Ah Chen's full efforts to dissuade them, they slowly stopped. He shrank his head.

Back in the car, I stopped looking at Zhang Baixing who looked worried, Wang Xiulan who lowered her head to wipe her tears, and Chen Wentao who comforted her.

Ah Chen's journey, no, I should say: Chen Chen's journey, has officially begun.

The scene around us is constantly changing. The tall peaks visible when looking up gradually disappear and are replaced by vast tracts of plains. Sometimes there are lush woods and grass on both sides of the road, sometimes there are cozy farmhouses, and sometimes there are neat village terraces. There are constant sights in the sky.

The sweet sounds of birds came, and even the sunlight seemed to change its color.

While admiring the surrounding scenery, Chen Chen kept talking to the driver and got a rough understanding of some things about the academy.

This coachman is not his professional coachman. His name is Qi Qingrui, and he is the "access manager" (doorman) of the college. This time he came here specially to take Chen Chen to school, and work such as driving horses is what he calls "

"Skills that everyone in the city should know." According to his own words, he doesn't have much work in the college and is a casual earner. It is reasonable to send him to pick Chen Chen up this time. "Don't look down on me.

I got this job because of my relationship with the dean." Well, according to him, this seems to be a good job.

"The college you are going to enroll in is called 'Jianghan College'. Maybe you haven't heard of it, but it is one of the top aristocratic colleges in the area. There are usually a lot of students trying to squeeze in, but I miss you.

This is not the case for a nobleman who failed the entrance exam. This is the first time in history." As he said that, he looked at Chen Chen without leaving any trace, as if he was guessing what was special about him that allowed the school to set this precedent.

Regarding this point, Ah Chen just touched his nose and said nothing more. He still greatly appreciated the achievements of Grandpa and Teacher Yu.

According to what Qi Qingrui said in front of him, Jiang Han College is located in the capital of Pingchang Kingdom, "Yuyang". Everyone there is wealthy and it is a true city that never sleeps. Chen Chen also heard that the beautiful women there are...

The beauty of the country is fragrant, and the baht is ringing. When he said this, Qi Qingrui's saliva flowed to Chen Chen's feet, and he couldn't help but give him a look. I'm still young this year, so he said it in front of me.

Is this good?

When the sun had reached the middle of the sky, Chen Chen and the others had already passed through several large towns, so when a city appeared again at the end of the line of sight, Chen Chen was still resting his chin on his arms leaning on the window.

Qi Qingrui patted Chen Chen and said, "Wake up, Juyang City has arrived."

I was not sleeping. Chen Chen looked forward. The first thing that caught his eye were two huge doors. They seemed to be made of bamboo, with eye-catching red paint on them, and scattered copper in the middle.

The overall size of the mass disk is higher than that of the five Chenchens, but it does win a bit in terms of the grandeur of the city gate. Connected to the gate is the town wall, which also reaches straight into the sky, and you can't even see it from both sides.

In the end, there were also a large number of soldiers guarding this place, dozens of them, all wearing helmets and armor, and standing ready. One side of the city in front of the gate was lined with pedestrians waiting for inspection, and the other side was empty. It was obviously prepared for carriages like them.

Qi Qingrui cheerfully took out something like a customs clearance document from his arms, and the guards all moved aside.

As soon as he entered the city, Chen Chen felt that there were "too many people". There were so many people that it took a lot of effort for their carriage to move forward. But when Chen Chen looked at the people on the road, there were not many wearing silk and silk.

Most of them are made of silk, brocade and silk, but they are made of coarse linen.

"Look over there and you'll find the college." Qi Qingrui pointed to the side, but the carriage was still moving forward steadily.
