Gu Chengyu felt a little sour in his heart when he saw Mr. Lu busy at home. As the ancients said, a son travels a thousand miles and his mother worries! Is this the moment he is describing?
Mrs. Lu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. It was not like Xiaobao had never been out before. She had been away for exams for several days. But this time, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Gu Chengyu looked very sad. Perhaps Lu had realized that he would not be able to accompany his elders all the time in the future. Going to Fucheng was the real beginning.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the weather seems to be getting cooler. It is getting early, and Gu Chengyu is sitting in the carriage, which is still a little cool.
They would meet up with Sun Xian and the others in Shanhe Town. To Gu Chengyu's surprise, Ye Zhiqiu actually chose to go to school with them. Like Sun Xian, he entrusted his mother and sister to the care of his tribe.
The carriage was running at full speed, and it didn't take much time to reach the town. Compared with other remote villages, Shangling Village was not too far from the town.
Gu Chengyu arrived in the town and waited for half a stick of incense before Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu arrived. Mingmo and the others had already hired a carriage and were waiting for Sun Xian and the others so that the two carriages would not be crowded.
"Chengyu! You arrived very early, right?" Sun Xian felt a little embarrassed when he saw Gu Chengyu already waiting. Before going out, his mother asked him to pack a lot of luggage, but it was a little late when he went out, so he had to call the village cow.
The car took him to the town.
"Fortunately, it's not too late for me to arrive." At this time, Ye Zhiqiu also came up to talk. He didn't bring much luggage, only two bags, which should be clothes, shoes and socks. "It's because I came early.
You guys are not too late, let's set off now!" Gu Chengyu asked Mingmo and the others to carry their luggage into the car, and found that there was a jar on the ground.
When Sun Xian saw it, he picked up the jar on the ground and said to Gu Chengyu: "This is a treasure! Didn't you say that my mother's pickles are delicious before? She asked me to bring them to you. She said she wanted to go
We are in Fucheng, and Mu Xiu has to come back before we can eat it, so ask me to bring some over."
Gu Chengyu was very happy after hearing this. He knew that his mother's pickles were delicious, "Auntie, she is still thinking of me!"
After he finished speaking, he stopped and thought of a way to help Sun Xian earn money. This pickle tasted so good, so he might as well sell it and put it in his restaurant to make an appetizing cold dish.
Thinking of this, Gu Chengyu quickly asked, "How many jars of pickles like this do you have?"
Sun Xian was a little surprised, thinking that Gu Chengyu didn't think it was enough, "This jar is quite a lot! It's enough for the three of us to eat for more than half a month, and you still think it's too little? There are quite a few jars of marinated food at home!"
"Don't I have a restaurant in Fucheng? This just happens to be sold in the restaurant. Let's discuss the money. I'll ask Mingmo to go to your house and bring the rest to Fucheng!" Gu Chengyu did it as soon as he thought of it, and he hurriedly ordered
Mingmo called another carriage and prepared to go to Sun's house to install the jar.
"Huh? You really want it?" Sun Xian was still a little in disbelief. This was a side dish pickled by a farmer. He made it at home. If he made a lot of it on weekdays, his mother would go to the town and set up a stall, with a big bowl.
It only costs a few cents! Of course, the pickles inside are mostly cabbage, radish and the like. These vegetables are the cheapest and there are plenty of them in the field.
"Of course!" Gu Chengyu watched Ming Mo and Ming Yan drive away in the carriage, and they had to wait here.
Ye Zhiqiu called the two of them confused, "What are you talking about? A restaurant? Has Chengyu opened a restaurant?"
"Haha! You don't know! He has a lot of money." Since Gu Chengyu said this in front of Ye Zhiqiu, it meant that he was not afraid of him knowing, so he explained it to Ye Zhiqiu.
Gu Chengyu didn't stop him. Ye Zhiqiu would know about opening the restaurant sooner or later. Besides, there was nothing he couldn't say. Then he sat on the shaft of the carriage and saw a carriage approaching in the distance.
Before the carriage arrived, Gu Chengyu saw Wang Qikai sticking his head out of the carriage and said, "Well, Gu Chengyu! You didn't tell me when you went to Fucheng. Are you going to be successful? Do you still recognize me as a good friend?"
Gu Chengyu smiled. When he went to Fucheng that day, he didn't tell Wang Qikai, nor did he expect him to come to see him off. Because although Wang Qikai found the cause of the disease and was slowly treating it, the disease was not completely cured and he usually couldn't get up in the morning.
.
"Aren't you usually still sleeping at this moment? How could you get up so early?"
"If I hadn't asked Master, I wouldn't have known when you would leave!" Wang Qikai had to spend a lot of effort to get up from the bed!
He ran to Gu Chengyu and looked at this little kid who was a head shorter than him. They had been classmates for three years and had turned them into good friends. Unfortunately, he was not in good health and he didn't know if he would be able to take the next county exam.
But Gu Chengyu and the others went further and further away.
"Huh? I haven't come down yet!"
Gu Chengyu looked over there and saw that it was You Siyuan. She didn't expect that he would also come to see them off.
"Senior Brother You!" Gu Chengyu made a bow.
"Farewell, you are already a scholar now, how can you call me senior brother? Let's just call him by his first name!" You Siyuan got off the carriage, rubbed his sore butt, and replied quickly.
Wang Qikai saw his actions and immediately mocked: "I told you not to follow me, but you insist on coming. How pretentious!"
"You are so fat and have a lot of flesh on your butt, so of course it won't hurt when you sit. How can I eat without being so thin?" You Siyuan and Wang Qikai are used to bickering. If they don't exchange a few words when they meet, they will feel uncomfortable.
When Sun Xian and others met, they also came forward to greet each other.
"Chengyu! If you go to Fucheng this time, it will be difficult for us to see you!" Wang Qikai said to Gu Chengyu in a low mood.
Gu Chengyu also became sad and patted Wang Qikai on the shoulder, "Isn't there still a bath break once a month? I can see you when I get back!"
"How is that the same?" Wang Qikai was sad. He had been classmates for three years. Although he was not in the same class for the next two years, he had long been accustomed to eating in the canteen with Gu Chengyu.
"Okay! What are you doing coquettishly? We can't catch up in Fucheng. Chengyu and the others will wait for us in the capital." You Siyuan glanced at Gu Chengyu. He was indeed right. Gu Chengyu is a potential person.
People turn into dragons when encountering a storm, is this the kind of person they say they are?
"Senior Brother Sun and I will be waiting for you in the capital. You have to hurry up!" Gu Chengyu is determined to pass the provincial examination and the joint examination. He does not want to waste time on the imperial examination. It is a great country, but he still has a lot of things to do.
.
"Okay!" Sun Xian and others also joined in, and everyone spoke very ambitiously. Finally, Wang Qikai packed a jar of wine from the carriage.
"I know you are too young to drink, so if you are happy today, let's take a sip. I hope we can meet in the capital as soon as possible!"
Gu Chengyu was speechless after seeing it. People who didn't know it thought they were going to Beijing to take the exam! As for that? But at this emotional moment, he couldn't let go of the fun, so he took a sip from the wine jar.
The purity of ancient wine was not high, and it was not strong at all when drank in the mouth, so sometimes children would take a few sips.
"Don't forget us when you go to Fucheng, Chengyu! Don't forget about me when you have new friends!" Wang Qikai patted Gu Chengyu on the shoulder and stared at Gu Chengyu.
"No one who forgets will forget you!" Gu Chengyu punched him back and looked at each other with a smile.
When Ming Mo and Ming Yan arrived, Gu Chengyu and the others got on the carriage. After bidding farewell to Wang Qikai and the others, Gu Chengyu embarked on a further journey.
