The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 16 I Can See
Chapter No.16 I can see
The next morning, Gu Chengyu was woken up by the noise outside. It turned out that today was Gu Chengyu's son.Yesterday, according to Papa Gu, it was already prepared in advance, and today when everyone is here, Chenshi can start.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu woke up, and no one carried him out, Gu Chengyu looked out the window, it was getting brighter, but it was not yet dawn, probably not yet.

Huh?Gu Chengyu was a little surprised?How can he see so clearly?He can see things.It was still blurry to see things at first, but now I can see things normally.

Oh, right?There was no light in the room last night, yet he could see clearly. Could it be that he can still see at night?What a surprise.

Gu Chengyu thought about it carefully, this should be the credit of Lingquan.At that time, there was no reaction after drinking it. It may be that the newborn body has not absorbed impurities much, so it has not been discharged. Now drinking it has this benefit. Gu Chengyu thinks that Lingquan should have other uses, and it will only be discovered later. And this should be related to his body being a baby, which absorbs it quickly and well.

Since the eyes can see things, they will not be idle, so naturally look at the furnishings in the room first.This room is an inner room, who should he be on a kang against the wall, with a roof on it, wooden and thick beams can be seen, but the roof is actually made of grass?
Although it looks thick, I still worry that it will leak in rainy days.Gu Chengyu couldn't help but have a new understanding of the poverty of the Gu family.Looking at the wall again, it should be made of earth bricks, and the ground in front of me is also made of earth when I look sideways.

On the left side of the kang is a wooden window with a grid. The window should be glued with linen paper. The linen paper is thick and thick, and the light is not so transparent. Therefore, if it does not rain during the day, the window is usually open.

There is also a cabinet next to the Kang bed. The cabinet is a bit big and unpainted. Although the workmanship is not exquisite and there are no patterns, the surface of the box is polished smooth, which can be considered thoughtful. There are no modern tools in ancient times. It was carefully dug out.Maybe some clothes, valuables, etc., because it's still locked.

Gu Chengyu recalled that Mrs. Lu heard the sound of the lock being unlocked when she took the copper plate last night, so it is estimated that the money was inside.

After observing the furnishings in the house, let's look at the people.Gu Chengyu tilted his head and looked at the two women who were talking. He was sleeping next to him, but now the person leaning on the bedding and pillow should be his mother, Mrs. Lu. After seeing Mrs. Lu's appearance clearly, Gu Chengyu was a little surprised.

Mrs. Lu is about 30 years old, wearing a yellow cross-neck jacket, and may have just given birth, so her face looks a little pale.But it was not these things that surprised Gu Chengyu. In this countryside, the Lu family looks really good, not at all like a peasant woman. Gu Chengyu, who has seen many modern beauties, has to admit that the Lu family is a woman who does not apply makeup. It can't hide the beauty of natural beauty.

A head of long black hair was casually arranged in a bun, and a wooden hairpin was attached to the hair. The wooden hairpin was of ordinary texture, and there were no carved patterns.The hair bun is a bit loose and messy, which may be the reason for lying in bed, and it is not very neat.

A small melon-shaped face, a pair of bright peach blossom eyes under the curved willow eyebrows, a small and tall nose, and a small diamond-shaped mouth. These beautiful features are all put together, and they look even more beautiful when combined.

It's a pity that it may be due to poor food and frequent work, his complexion is a little sallow, his skin texture is also a little rough, and there are a few fine lines around his eyes, which are a bit conspicuous, which greatly reduces such a good appearance.

In ancient times, women got married early, and they were considered grandmothers when they were around 30 years old. What's more, if they can't eat well, work hard for the house, or go to work in the fields, they will grow older quickly. Peasant women are even more reluctant to spend money to buy rouge and gouache. .

After seeing Gu's mother, Gu Chengyu lamented that the life of a woman is not easy, and turned to look at the woman who was talking to Mrs. Lu.

"Boss, this time, take care of the third son's family. There are a lot of people here today. If she dares to make trouble, you can tell me. Let me see if I don't give her a hard rub, and turn her on. In the past two days, while I'm not here, I must have stolen food, and I'm used to being lazy, and I'll take care of her after I'm confinement." Gu Lushi was really worried.

"Hey, mother, everything is ready, nothing can go wrong." Fang nodded hurriedly, still a little shrunken, and wiped the blue coarse cloth apron on the side of her waist nervously, obviously just came from the stove.

Gu Chengyu understood that this was Fang's sister-in-law.Compared to Lu's, Gu Fang's is a typical rural peasant woman, with her long hair neatly tied up in a bun, no jewelry on it, not even a wooden hairpin.

His hair is a bit yellowish, his face is long, and his complexion is rather dark, which may be the result of working in the fields and being exposed to the sun for a long time.The wrinkles on the face are very obvious, and the facial features are relatively ordinary.He was wearing a cyan coarse cloth cross-neck shirt on his upper body, no skirt on his lower body, only trousers of the same color, and an apron tied around his waist. There was also a small patch and crease of the same color on the shirt, which was obviously the bottom of a suitcase that was often pressed , Take it out and wear it when you need a long face.

It can be seen that such shabby clothes are not usually worn.Gu Chengyu thought of the fabrics and clothes that passed by the cloth factories and garment factories in the space, and felt a little regretful that they couldn't take them out to wear. There were really mountains of gold and silver, so he could only look at them.

Because Gu Fang was standing, he could see that he was not short, but he was thin, so thin that he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Immediately, Gu Chengyu thought of another question, this Fang is Mother Gu's daughter-in-law, why does the daughter-in-law look older than her mother-in-law?Fang's seems to be in his 20s, which is impossible according to normal logic.

Could it be that his mother is born beautiful and looks young?Or is it because his mother doesn't work in the fields often?However, thinking of another possibility, this needs to be observed and verified slowly in the future.

"When you go out, ask the second child's family to come in. I don't worry if you don't beat her. Bring breakfast by the way." Gu Lushi thought about it and ordered.Gu Fang led the order and went out.

Mrs. Lu turned her head and saw her youngest son woke up, she hurriedly picked up Gu Chengyu, prepared to have a kiss, and nagged about changing Gu Chengyu into bright clothes.At this moment, Gu Wan came in running around, "Mother, I want to see my brother."

"Be careful, don't scare the younger brother with your loud voice." Lu Shi hugged her son, watching Gu Wan rush in recklessly, ran to the kang, tiptoed to look at the little son in her hand .After finishing speaking, she carefully placed Gu Chengyu on the kang, Gu Wan pouted, unhappy.

"Mother doesn't like me anymore, she only likes my younger brother." Saying this, she leaned forward to look at it, and then exclaimed in surprise, "My younger brother is so cute, mother, why did my younger brother turn white? It's so beautiful."

Gu Chengyu looked at the little girl in front of her, about four or five years old, with a hanging bun, big round eyes with distinct black and white eyes, not like Gu's mother, she looked delicate and cute. She was wearing a pea green pleated skirt, with a few butterflies and small flowers embroidered on the collar and the hem of the skirt, making Gu Wan look even more delicate and agile.
