Qin Yao wanted to ask Ding Shi to travel together, and Ding Shi happened to be coming to find her as well.
As soon as they met, they didn't need to say much; they immediately agreed to travel together.
"How many guards has Young Master Ding brought?" Qin Yao asked.
Ding Shi replied, "Two guards, plus the driver and me, a total of four people, one carriage, and two horses."
Qin Yao explained her situation, "We are two families, you know Liu Li, right? He also studies at the Kaiyang County Academy."
When Qin Yao mentioned Liu Li, Ding Shi laughed, "Yes, I know him. He passed the main exam, ranked thirteenth in the second class, if I remember correctly?"
Qin Yao nodded, he did remember correctly.
Although Ding Shi was only nominally registered at the county academy and rarely stayed there long, since they were all from the same academy, they had met a few times, just not very closely.
