"Xiaobao, I'm going to see if your mother's food is cooked. You stay here." Father Gu stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Ah?" Gu Chengyu knew that his father wanted to leave the house to the two of them to say some personal words, but why did he want to keep him? What does it have to do with his own family? Sun Xian is a gentleman, and he will give him two
Why can't I do it, sister?
There was no other way, so Gu Chengyu had no choice but to sit in a corner of the room. He was already brighter than a pearl at night, so it would be bad if he sat in the middle and was an eyesore, right?
"Wan'er, I'm going to the capital when you're old enough to have hairpins. I'll give this to you even if I gave it to you in advance." Sun Xian calmed down and took out a hairpin from his arms. He gave it to Gu Wan.
The haircut ceremony.
Huh? Gu Chengyu quickly took a look and saw that it was a gold-inlaid emerald hairpin. The hollow carving on the head of this hairpin was well done, and the body of the hairpin was not thin. It looked like it was worth at least thirty taels of silver.
Seeing this, Gu Chengyu was relieved. It seemed that Brother Sun was very fond of her second sister. Although this hairpin was not expensive, it might be obvious that Sun Xian had put a lot of thought into choosing it, and it suited Gu Wan's temperament.
Gu Chengyu thought of his gift. What he prepared for Gu Wan was a set of pearl headbands. The pearls were round and as big as a thumbnail. Gu Chengyu made them for Gu Wan in Fucheng, and they were also inlaid with some precious stones.
, looked very luxurious. The shopkeeper in the shop also begged Gu Chengyu to sell him the remaining pearls, but Gu Chengyu did not sell them, and he was not short of money.
Gu Chengyu did not take out the other large pearls, which were given to Gu Wan when she got married.
"Thank you, Brother Sun!" Gu Wan glanced at Sun Xian before shyly continuing.
Sun Xian and Gu Wan took the hairpin with a smile on their face.
But then, he looked at Gu Wan anxiously. He was not sure about this provincial examination. He was afraid that if he failed, the Gu family would dislike him. After all, the Gu family chose him because of his qualifications.
.
"Wan'er, if I don't pass the exam this time, will you still marry me?"
"Idiot! What are you talking about? Marriage has always been the order of parents and the words of matchmakers since ancient times. Since you and I are engaged, then we are destined to be married. Why do you think so much?" Gu Wan heard this and gave Sun Xian a scolding look.
, this fool, how can I ask her this? Isn’t she almost a member of the Sun family?
Sun Xian also heard the implication and immediately laughed happily.
In Gu Chengyu's opinion, this smile is really stupid. Gu Chengyu can hardly stand listening to it. No wonder people in love have zero IQ. They are already engaged to you. If I don't marry you, who will I marry? What about women in ancient times?
Don't break off the engagement easily.
It happened that Father Gu came in from outside at this time, and Gu Chengyu was force-fed some dog food. At this moment, she sighed that she finally didn't want to be a luminous pearl anymore.
Sun Xian had dinner at Gu's house, but did not stay overnight at Gu's house. He had to go back to help his mother pickle pickles and wash vegetables. Women from the village came to do this, but there was a secret recipe for pickling, otherwise how could his mother make it?
Does it have to be so delicious? So he has to go back to help, not to mention his mother is not in good health.
A ray of setting sun spreads over the water, half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red. A ray of afterglow spreads on the river surface, sparkling under the sunlight. Gu Chengyu is blowing the river wind, looking at the river surface that is half blue and half red, feeling comfortable
Endless.
This was the first time he took a boat in Dayan Dynasty. He found that the seasickness in his previous life was not brought to this life. It may be that the body was transformed by the spiritual spring water, or it may be that this body does not get seasick in the first place. In short,
It has been two days since he boarded the ship and he has no symptoms of discomfort.
"Ugh!" Before he could finish sighing, he heard a sound of vomiting next to him.
There was no way, just because he didn't get seasick, it didn't mean that others didn't get seasick either! The sound of vomiting came from the side, and that person was Ye Zhiqiu.
"Chengyu! The Qingxin Pill you gave me is useless, right?" Sun Xian asked helplessly as he looked at Ye Zhiqiu who couldn't vomit out food and only vomited out sour water.
Ye Zhiqiu hasn't eaten since last night, and by now, all the food in his stomach has been vomited.
"Of course it's impossible, but Senior Brother Ye has just taken it for a while, there has to be a process, right? Miraculous elixirs are not that fast!" This Qingxin Pill was prepared by Gu Chengyu for himself. He was afraid that he would still get seasick, so he was in space
Here, look at the books that were refined.
However, this was his first time to try it, and he didn’t know whether it was successful or not. He happened to not be seasick this time, and he couldn’t find anyone to try it before, so he was actually feeling guilty!
Ye Zhiqiu's symptoms started last night. They were only mild last night and during the day today. Everyone thought they just needed to rest, but now they are getting more serious.
Gu Chengyu observed that he had just taken the pills and had to wait until tomorrow to see the reaction. He was still a little confident in his medicine and it should be effective.
This time they boarded a large ship specially designed to carry passengers. Once the ship sailed, it would only stop three times along the way. It would stop at three docks to allow the people on board to go out for supplies.
This trip to the capital will take less than half a month or even twenty days before the ship can arrive. Gu Chengyu has calculated that if it goes smoothly to the capital, it should arrive around the tenth day of July. And Qiuwei is in August, so the first event
It's the ninth day of August, and there's still about a month to prepare, which should be enough.
Of course, that is if there is no accident, so what is an accident? That is not sure. If there are big winds and waves on the river, the ship will go in reverse or dock at the dock to take shelter, which will delay the time. The former may even be life-threatening, but it will
Shipwrecked.
There are also the most feared river bandits on the river. Although the river is large, you may not be able to encounter them. Besides, the stewards of these big ships have usually dealt with these river bandits, but there are always exceptions in everything, right? He is not afraid.
It was easy to get Ming Mo and Ming Yan and save Ye Zhiqiu and Sun Xian, but it was not easy to save a boatload of people.
Just as Gu Chengyu was thinking wildly, Ye Zhiqiu finally stopped vomiting. Mingmo and Sun Xian helped Ye Zhiqiu into the room. Gu Chengyu took a look at the sky and saw that it was already dark. The wind from the river was very cold at night, so it was better to go back to the room early.
.
This ship is indeed very big. There are three floors above, all of which are rooms, and another floor below, where the crew lives, and where the oars are paddled. Behind the big ship, there is a smaller boat led by a rope, which is
Baggage and cargo.
Gu Chengyu entered the second room on the second floor. He and Ming Mo lived in the same room. The rooms on the ship were tight, and they booked late, so they only booked two rooms. Although there were only two rooms,
The fee on the ship is per person. Fortunately, the two rooms are quite large, but Ye Zhiqiu and Sun Xian thought it was a bit expensive, costing eight taels of silver per person!
Gu Chengyu and the others had a meal and then rested. The boat was rocking and it was night again, so they couldn't see clearly at all, so they had to go to bed early.
The next day, Ye Zhiqiu was much better. Gu Chengyu thought that the medicine was still effective.
