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

Chapter 196 Gu Wanqian

April is the season of beautiful flowers and graceful willow branches. The mountains in the distance are emerald and full of fragrance.

Gu Chengyu opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at the colorful flowers and reds on the roadside, and felt that the fragrance of the flowers had soaked into his heart!
"Young Master! It will take more than two hours to get to Fucheng!" The driver was Gu Chengyu's entourage, Ming Mo, who was Ding Qi and Ding Shisan who had been selected before.

"Hmm!" The prefectural city is much farther than the county seat, and they also set off early in the morning.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the silent boy sitting in the corner of the carriage, and sighed!

This baby is his nephew, two years older than him, Uncle Gu stuffed it here.His name is Gu Wanqian, and life at home is very difficult. My mother was seriously ill a few years ago and passed away. In the past few years, she has been living with her grandmother, but the previous grandmother was exhausted and couldn't support her, so she asked her family to help her. Here, find a kind-hearted person to do things for, and just do it for the one who stutters!
Uncle Gu is the patriarch, and now he is Li Zheng, shouldn't he care about this matter?Gu’s family lived the best life and belonged to Gu Lao’s family, so they brought it here. Thinking that his age was similar to Gu Chengyu’s, why not serve tea and water for Gu Chengyu, and do some work as a book boy without giving him a hand? Monthly money, just give some food, so as not to starve to death.

Gu Chengyu strongly opposed it. He hadn't heard of any family nephew serving as an entourage to the clan uncle. He was willing to donate a few silver coins, but he was not happy to accept the recipient.But Uncle Gu insisted that the juniors serve the elders, which made sense, so he just left him behind.

In fact, Uncle Gu just thinks that Gu Chengyu is promising, and it's not as good as his nephew to buy someone to do his job, at least it's his own family!In the ancient clans, basically one person gained the Tao and drove the development of the whole clan.

Gu Wanqian looks somewhat handsome, but long-term malnutrition has resulted in a sallow complexion and even thinner body.It was just delivered yesterday afternoon. When it arrived, the coarse cloth clothes were full of patches, so naturally they couldn’t be worn, and it was too late to make them now, so I had to pick up Gu Chengyu’s old clothes and wear them first. He is about the same size as Gu Chengyu, but he can wear them I plan to wait until Fucheng to buy a fit one.

Since there was one more person, Ming Yan couldn't bring it with him. Ming Mo was steady, so Gu Chengyu ordered him.

Speaking of Uncle Gu, Gu Chengyu thought of Lin Lizheng from before, the money Lin Lizheng was greedy for was a lot for the farmers!He found the evidence, but Gu Chengyu didn't report it to the government. In fact, who is not greedy?Lin Lizheng was greedy, and the government didn't have the time to take care of it. Gu Chengyu only put the incriminating evidence in front of Lin Lizheng, and Lin Lizheng was scared out of his wits, and agreed to step down from Lizheng's position.

Gu Chengyu made a show in front of Master Wang and recommended Uncle Gu.In fact, I didn't want to get any credit, I just thought it would be easier for the Gu family to do things in the village in the future!

Who would have thought that he would be thrown into trouble yesterday, but this Gu Wanqian is also knowledgeable about current affairs, he has a wink, and he is quick at work.Not much talk, but also very witty.

The carriage shook a little, and Gu Chengyu didn't read the book.This time I went to Fucheng for the government test. His family bought a carriage, which was much faster than the original ox cart.

"My lord! It's noon, why don't you take a break and use some dry food!" Ming Mo asked for instructions loudly outside!

"Alright! Find a clean place." Gu Chengyu didn't enter Fucheng alone, there was a carriage behind, and Gu Wanhua and Sun Xian were sitting in it.As for the others, they left separately. He Shunian and Ye Zhiqiu set off before dawn. They could book a hotel if they arrived first. In fact, Gu Chengyu knew that they didn't want to take advantage of him.

Sun Xian is no longer an outsider. A month ago, the two families agreed that after the government examination, they would come back and make an engagement with Gu Wan!
Ming Mo chose an open area, still under the shade of a tree, it would be pleasant to rest here!

Gu Wanqian didn't need to listen to orders, he had already taken down the blanket and food, and laid them out on top of the blanket.

As soon as Ming Mo stopped the carriage, he saw that Gu Wanqian had almost finished his work, and he was very depressed!He is the young master's servant, and he should take care of the young master's life. Originally, the young master was going to take him and Mingyan with him when he went out this time, but he asked this kid to come forward, and he even competed with him for jobs along the way, so that he, the real servant, Useless.

The master is not the master, and the servants are not servants, they don't know how to get along with Gu Wanqian, and the young master has no idea.

"Chengyu! How long will it be?" Sun Xian felt that everyone was going to be torn apart, this is still a carriage!It's been more than two hours since I walked, and I haven't reached Fucheng yet!

"Uncle! This carriage isn't necessarily much more comfortable than an ox cart!" Gu Wanhua got off the carriage and beat his waist, feeling that his feet were down to earth.
"Isn't that because you've been sitting for a long time? This carriage is rented, and of course it's not as comfortable as your own carriage. If you feel tired, you can squeeze with me in the afternoon! It may take two hours to get to Fucheng!"

Gu Chengyu has internal strength, but he feels okay, "Hurry up and eat some dry food! We have to hurry later!"

Before he went out, he asked the dumb mother-in-law who brought him back to cook to bake pork jerky, as well as some pastries, steamed buns, and flatbreads. He only had one bite on the way, and he brought enough for several people!

"Uncle! Your mother-in-law's cooking is delicious! This jerky is full of flavor!" Gu Wanhua picked up the jerky and started to eat it.

"Wan Qian! You and Ming Mo also come over to eat!"

"Young master! I'll eat here! I have dry food!" Then, he picked up the dry food and ate it. This was prepared by the dumb mother-in-law, and there was also meat!He is a servant, how can he eat at the same table with his master?This is the rule!
When Gu Chengyu saw that he liked it, he didn't force it!
Gu Wanqian was planning to eat with Mingmo, but Gu Chengyu called him.

"Wan Qian! Come here!" Of course, Gu Chengyu would not treat his nephew as a servant, and he had to find a way to settle down in the future.

"Uncle! It's the same if I eat here!" Gu Wanqian actually swallowed while looking at the food on the blanket, but he came to serve Uncle. Grandma said that if you want to stay in Gu's house, you have to be obedient and winky!

Gu Chengyu frowned slightly, "Come here!"

Since Gu Chengyu said so, Gu Wanhua also worked hard and asked Gu Wanqian to come over for dinner!

Ming Mo watched Gu Wanqian sitting on the blanket eating, and felt settled.It seems that we should be more polite to Gu Wanqian in the future, Gu Wanqian is different from them, they are just servants.

By the time Gu Chengyu and the others arrived in Fucheng, the rays of light in the sky would gradually dissipate, and Youshi had already passed!
"Ming Mo! Here it is!" He Shunian waited at the gate of Fucheng, looking around, he and Ye Zhiqiu calculated the time, Gu Chengyu and the others should be arriving by now, so he waited at the gate of the city, and let Ye Zhiqiu stay at the inn Look at the luggage.

Sure enough, isn't Ming Mo in front of him?He has seen Mingmo before, of course he knows him.

Seeing He Shunian greeted at the gate of the city, Ming Mo immediately drove the carriage to He Shunian.

"Master He! Is this a special trip to wait here? Get in the carriage!"

"Brother He? After all, brother arrived earlier than me!" Gu Chengyu lifted the curtain and saw He Shunian standing beside the carriage.

He Shunian climbed onto the carriage and said, "It's just a little earlier than you guys! I asked Junior Brother Ye to watch the luggage at the inn!"
