Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 39

The gifts sent by Commander Wang were all sent to the superiors of the Five Military Commandery and the Ministry of War, so they were naturally not sent to the capital by random servants. As the eldest son, the eldest son of the Wang family had a status sufficient to represent his father, so he had to personally deliver the gifts to the various mansions.

It was the end of the twelfth lunar month when the group officially entered Beijing. There was heavy snow in the capital and surrounding counties, and the canal was frozen, so horses could pass through. He entered the capital from Dongzhimen by car in the heavy snow.

The snow was like a thin curtain that blocked the view. There were few pedestrians on the official road. The merchants and people around were all staying indoors. Beggars were huddled in doorways and other sheltered places, hoping that the heavy snow would stop soon. In the silent snow, a horse team came on the snow, accompanied by the neighing of the horses, and passed them in a blink of an eye.

Wang Xiangzhen pulled aside the curtains and looked outside, but his vision was also blocked by snowflakes, so he couldn't see who was on the horse that flew by. So he simply knocked on the carriage and called the soldiers outside to ask, "Who is running in such heavy snow?"

The guard pressed his body against the cold window frame and whispered, "The one wearing a red veil and white cotton armor must be a member of the Imperial Guards."
