Ma Junhui, who had been paying attention to Gu Chengyu since he came in, gritted his teeth in anger when he heard that Gu Chengyu had been given a heavier task. He was not as stupid as Wang Qikai. Wasn't this a sign that the master was more optimistic about Gu Chengyu's performance?
You Siyuan also shook his head. Wang Qikai is so stupid. No wonder his father didn't let him be friends with Wang Qikai. Isn't it said that those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are dark?
"Why don't you copy yet? Didn't Master ask you to copy yesterday's copy again? If you don't write now, but when Master comes to check, you haven't finished it yet, and you will be punished again!" See Wang Qikai's writing desk
Without moving a word, Gu Chengyu spread out the paper, and after finishing speaking, he began to practice calligraphy. While writing, he thought that he had to find a way to practice his wrist strength, and thought that there was a big black iron in the space.
Gu Chengyu planned to take out the bow for practice. The original small bow was too light. Although it was dexterous, it was not conducive to practicing wrist strength.
As the bell rang, Gu Chengyu was already packing up his pen and ink, and spent the day endorsing and copying.
"Chengyu! Are you okay? Let's go quickly!" Wang Qikai stood in front of the desk and urged him. He wanted to go back as soon as possible to complete the homework assigned by the master.
"Okay! Don't rush! Let's go!" Gu Chengyu planned to buy the pen washer today, otherwise he would always use someone else's, and it would be awkward for him not to mention it if it was inconvenient.
You Siyuan had already packed his book bag and was standing by the door, as if waiting for someone.
When Gu Chengyu and the others approached, they heard You Siyuan whisper: "Chengyu! The day after tomorrow is Mu Xiu, why don't we invite a few classmates to climb up Yunshan Mountain next to the town? The scenery on Yunshan Mountain is beautiful!"
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he heard You Siyuan's words. This You Siyuan didn't seem to like him very much when he first came here, and even now he can't talk to him very much. The only conversation he had was the two at noon yesterday.
Why would you ask him to climb a mountain now? Also, don't tell him that Yunshan next to the town is that small hill, right?
Compared with mountains like Changling Mountain, Yunshan Mountain can only be described in small words. How can people who stay on the edge of the mountain every day want to play in the mountain? Besides, tomorrow, the mold of the mountain will definitely be gone.
After it was done, he had to stay at home to make soap. He was busy with a lot of things at home, so he was afraid he wouldn't have time to go out and have fun.
"Why did you only ask Chengyu to go but not me?" Wang Qikai asked angrily. The two of them were standing together, but he only invited one person. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for him? Although, they usually
The relationship there is not very good either.
"Then are you going?" You Siyuan glanced at Wang Qikai and asked perfunctorily. This tone and attitude made Wang Qikai almost fall out again.
Gu Chengyu quickly stopped the two of them. He didn't have time to listen to the two of them arguing here. "Thanks to Senior Brother You for being considerate, I'm really sorry. There was something going on at home that day. I'm afraid I couldn't go, so I had to brush off Senior Brother's kindness! Wait.
Now that everyone has some free time, Junior Brother invites everyone to go to Changling Mountain next to my house." Gu Chengyu bowed and declined apologetically. Changling Mountain is well known in this area. When his house is built,
Come, I will invite my classmates to stay overnight, and I will bring Wang Qikai to Li Langzhong to have a look.
"Chengyu is like Wang Qikai, just call me Siyuan! Since Chengyu is not free, let's change it next time! However, Chengyu's family lives on the edge of Changling Mountain? I heard that there is a lot of game in Changling Mountain.
Then we have to ask Chengyu to take us to see something!" You Siyuan actually wanted to get close to Gu Chengyu. If it doesn't work this time, isn't there a next time? It's not urgent. Anyway, we can strike up a conversation and become familiar with each other.
That's good. You Siyuan found that Gu Chengyu was a little unfamiliar with him, but he didn't talk casually to Wang Qikai.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders! That's right! Siyuan, my family lives in Shangling Village. I will definitely take everyone to play when I have time." Gu Chengyu complained in his heart. There are quite a lot of game, but there are also many wild beasts.
If you really want to go, just take them for a walk around the perimeter. Whether you can catch prey depends on your luck!
"Are you two done yet? Everyone else has left, why don't we leave?" Wang Qikai became a little impatient when he saw that others had left long ago.
"It's getting late! We should go back earlier. My family members must have picked them up at the door of the private school. I'll take my leave now!" After saying that, Gu Chengyu hurried away, wasting a lot of time. He didn't know why You Siyuan was there.
He suddenly changed his mind and got close to him, but he always felt that You Siyuan was quite dignified, and there must be his purpose in doing so.
"Dad!" As soon as Gu Chengyu and Wang Qikai came out of the private school, Gu Chengyu saw his father. On the other side, Wang Qikai had the nerve to come over now after what happened in the morning. After separating from Gu Chengyu, he quickly climbed into the Wang family's carriage.
,gone back.
"Dad! Let's take a detour to Shopkeeper Pan. I forgot to buy a pen for washing." Gu Chengyu climbed onto the bullock cart and said to his father.
Father Gu responded and drove the ox cart into West Street.
"Shopkeeper Pan, we're here again!" Gu Chengyu called out as soon as he entered the bookstore's door.
"Are you here? I guessed that you were coming, but did your ex forget to buy a pen washer?" In fact, shopkeeper Pan didn't mention it because people in the neighborhood with average or poorer families generally don't use pen washers.
He brought a bowl at home instead. Last time he saw that Gu Chengyu was quite particular about the materials of pen and ink. He wanted to say that, but then he thought about it, maybe they didn't want to buy it at all. He didn't mention it to make everyone look bad.
Don’t they all look good? However, today, when Gu and his friends bought a field and asked him to help them read the land deeds, he realized that the Gu family had quite a lot of money, otherwise they would not have bought so many fields at once.
Gu Chengyu also thought that there was no need to save money. He was used to using pen wash in his previous life. After all, he had used it for more than two years. What's more, he had already thought of a way to make money and was just waiting for experiments. He had to get up early tomorrow to go
Try the restaurants in town.
Finally, Gu Chengyu took a fancy to a blue-colored coarse porcelain brush washer. The brush washer was just for washing pens, and it didn’t need to be made of fine materials. Gu Chengyu also noticed that the shape of this brush washer was the shape of a four-volume lotus leaf, which was a bit interesting.
.
After another round of bargaining, Gu Chengyu paid more than 20 yuan to buy it under the pained expression of shopkeeper Pan.
As the oxcart rumbled along the loess road, Gu Chengyu asked Mr. Gu whether his purchase of the land today was going well.
"Dad! Did you buy the land today? How much money did you spend?"
"I bought it! It's a total of fifty-five acres. Butler Qin also gave me a discount of more than two taels, giving him four hundred and ten taels. I didn't expect that our family would be in Shangling Village in the future, except for this one owned by Mr. Zhao!" Mr. Gu
Dad turned around happily and waved his hand with a thumbs up.
"Dad! Our family will get better and better in the future. What about the land deed? Have you checked with Shopkeeper Pan? But have you applied for the official deed?" Gu Chengyu thought about Father Gu. They didn't know how to read, so they were still a little worried.
.
"Of course I'm looking for it! I signed a red deed at the government office and paid a tax of sixteen taels of silver! This tax is really expensive!" Father Gu and the others didn't take this into account at first. Who knew that this tax could be enough?
