In fact, her girl's money box only contains more than three hundred taels of silver. The monthly silver of the girl's family in the Duke's Mansion is two taels of silver, plus the red envelopes received during the holidays, they can save so much.
many.
It's not easy to save these. When the girl sends out her monthly routine, those women will always find excuses to get some out of it.
"Put it away! Mommy will go out to inquire tomorrow. She must know his name. When we get to my grandfather's house, we can send someone to thank him!"
Being able to take the boat in these few days reminded Yao Mengxian of Qiu Wei. The young master has extraordinary bearing and is still young. It looks like he came to participate in Qiu Wei's examination. He was probably a candidate for the examination. If he failed, he should have returned early.
However, in the Dayan Dynasty, there was only one person for such a small government, and that was Gu Chengyu.
Yao Mengxian was also guessing about these things. She asked someone to inquire. Gu Chengyu's family was originally just a farmer. Although it seemed to have become prosperous later, it was just a rich family! Can a farmer have such martial arts? In short, it doesn't look like that.
He is a farmer.
After Gu Chengyu finished his meal, he began to practice calligraphy. Calligraphy required concentration and calmness, so he told Ming Mo not to let anyone disturb him.
By the time Gu Chengyu finished practicing his calligraphy, it was already dark. Ming Yan had already turned on the lamp in the room. Gu Chengyu had washed his hands in the copper basin nearby, and the door of the room was opened from the outside.
Gu Chengyu didn't need to look to know that it was Ming Yan, and he was on duty today.
"Are those river bandits okay? Have you asked the boatman when they will arrive at the next dock?"
"Go back to the young master! I just went to inquire about it, and they said that I can get to the pier before noon tomorrow, and there is a checkpoint there. Don't you want to write a letter? I went to ask Mr. Sun and the others, and their letter has been written.
Okay, let's take it back to Jingyuan Mansion together." Ming Yan stepped forward and handed the dry cloth to Gu Chengyu to intervene.
"Hmm! It's just that there may be an interrogation tomorrow, and I don't know if I have time to deliver the letter. You asked Mingmo to rent a carriage and deliver the letter to the escort office. We bought a lot of things this time, and I don't know if we will send it back too.
It's going to take a few days."
Gu Chengyu has already made a plan. If the interrogation tomorrow takes a few days, then they will take a carriage instead. But there are too many things and it will definitely be inconvenient on the road, so they might as well ask the escort to send them back first. They have to deliver the letter anyway. His mother can do it too
According to what he bought, buy some more.
"Young master, do you want to take a carriage instead? This is not far from Jingyuan Mansion. It would be faster if you take a boat." Originally, the young master wanted to rest at home for more than a month before setting off for the capital. If the boat was delayed,
Then the days at home will definitely be shorter.
There will be no shortage of entertainment when I go back this time. There are many people to visit, and there are even more visitors. In addition, there are also memorial arches and banquets to be made, and the wedding of the second girl has to be held. More than a month is also very tight.
.
"Let's talk tomorrow! Are Mr. Sun and the others awake?"
"I've woken up and had a meal, but Mr. Ye doesn't look very energetic, as if he's been frightened."
Gu Chengyu frowned when he heard this. Ye Zhiqiu was weak and frightened. He thought he was going to lie in bed for a few days again, so he had to go take a look.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's not too late now. I'll go take a look." There was no doctor on the boat. He finally knew a little bit about it, so he felt relieved to go take a look.
Gu Chengyu led Ming Yan to Sun Xian's house. The house was spacious and more than enough for two people.
"Why are you here so late?" Sun Xian opened the door and saw Gu Chengyu. He said this, but moved his body away and let the two of them enter the house.
"I heard from Ming Yan that Senior Brother Ye is feeling a little unwell. Let me take a look. Is Senior Brother Ye feeling better?" Gu Chengyu walked to the bed, but Ye Zhiqiu was not asleep.
"It's nothing serious, I'm just a little weak. Please come and see me!" Ye Zhiqiu sat up quickly and was pushed down by Gu Chengyu.
"You're not feeling well, so don't be too polite. I do know some medical skills, so I'll take your pulse." After saying that, Gu Chengyu took Ye Zhiqiu's wrist and took his pulse.
After a long time, he let go of his hand and said, "I was just frightened. It doesn't matter. It will take a few days. Those people are Jiang bandits. If you don't kill them, everyone on the ship will die under their swords. Senior Brother Ye
Killing them is to eliminate harm for the people. Senior Brother Ye, don’t think too much, just take two of the pills I gave you and have a good sleep."
Gu Chengyu knew that Ye Zhiqiu was actually mentally ill. The night before, Ye Zhiqiu saw Jiang bandits trying to attack Sun Xian, so he took action to kill him. Because it was his first time to kill someone, his heart was inevitably affected. He could only enlighten someone about this kind of thing.
Well, the most important thing is to figure it out yourself.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Gu Chengyu's still calm and calm face and smiled bitterly. He had only killed one Jiang bandit, and he had been scared for two days. But Gu Chengyu had killed so many thieves without changing his expression. Sure enough, there was someone there.
A person born to do great things!
After comforting Ye Zhiqiu, Gu Chengyu walked to his room.
Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the front. Gu Chengyu stopped to listen and realized that the sound came from the deck.
When Ming Yan saw his master looking there, he immediately stepped forward and explained, "It's those boat passengers. They have been making trouble for a while. They want the boat owner to refund the money, but the steward said that he didn't have that much money with him and asked everyone to wait a moment!"
When he arrived at the Jingyuan River Pier, he went to get the money. But the group of people refused, saying that they wanted the steward to give it to them now, and also wanted the steward to compensate everyone for their losses. After all, everyone was frightened this time, so of course the steward would not
Yes! If not, everyone will start to quarrel."
Gu Chengyu asked Ming Yan as he walked towards the room.
"Loss?" Yes, two boat passengers died this time! But these two boat passengers seemed to be alone, and no family members came to cry. However, compensation should still be paid, after all, they
They were all sacrificed for the lives of everyone on the ship.
Gu Chengyu also planned to contribute. When the boatman found out whose family it was, he should pay some compensation. Although, it was to save the lives of all the people on the boat that he called on those who volunteered to fight against the river bandits.
If something like this happened on the ship, the money collected before must be returned. After all, the lives of the people on the ship were almost lost. Although the bandits were later killed and captured, it cannot be said that it was the credit of the shipowner.
After all, if it weren't for Gu Chengyu and the others, the river bandits might have succeeded in their sneak attack this time. On this vast river, where could everyone escape, or would they have to flee into the tiger's mouth?
Originally, for such a big ship, preparations should be made on board. But whether it is the boatman or the thugs, just a few people, and each one is half-assed, doesn't this mean that their lives are not taken seriously?
The boatman will definitely have to pay a lot of money this time. It can only be said that the boatman is unlucky. Doing business on the water is very risky!
