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

Chapter 281

Here, Sun Xian and the coachman are discussing the fare, but Gu Chengyu's focus is on this young man.

This young man seems to be familiar with the coachman, but will the acquaintance come to tear down the scene?Unless there is enmity, but the young man watched them discussing the price at the moment, but stood aside and did not speak. The two did not seem to have enmity.Suddenly, Gu Chengyu smiled.

Seeing that the old man was about to settle the deal, the young man felt that the deal was done, but when he turned around, he saw Gu Chengyu looking at him with a half-smile.His heart sank, did he find out?It was also the first time he did this, and he was discovered unexpectedly.

If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have done this, but he was really short of money, and his father was so seriously ill, if he didn't see the doctor, he might not be able to survive.

"Senior Brother Sun, let's change to a carriage!" Gu Chengyu interrupted Sun Xian's conversation with the old man. There are so many carriages, and someone else's may be cheaper.

"Ah?" Originally, Sun Xian was soft-hearted and wanted to agree to the old man, but Gu Chengyu, who had been silent all this time, disagreed.

The old man glanced at Gu Chengyu, and felt that the matter had been brought to light. It was fine if he didn't accept the business, but he was pitiful.

"Since Master Xiucai has seen it, it is right not to take the old man's car. Just please let this kid go, he is a poor man." As Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu were puzzled, they explained the matter The whole story was told.

It turned out that the young man was named Xiaosanzi, and he had a father and an elder sister in his family.The third son is at the pier to guide people. When foreigners come, who are not familiar with the capital, the third son will take them to the destination.Although there is a coachman, some people have their own carriages, so they find someone like Xiaosanzi, and they will give them two coppers.

Of course, there are several others like Xiao Sanzi on the pier, all of whom are half-grown.

Little Sanzi's father has always been healthy, but half a month ago when he was carrying goods on the pier, he said that the goods got wet and gave him a good beating.Afterwards, because I had no money, I only went to the clinic once, got two sets of medicines, and never went again.The third son also made such a bad move because his father didn't look well these two days, as if he couldn't make it through.

"Master Xiucai, please don't argue with me. I will show you the way and I won't charge you any money." The third son knelt down to Gu Chengyu and the others as he spoke.He was afraid that Master Xiucai would say that he was a liar and turn him over to the government, and he would not be able to escape after a beating, and his father didn't know if he would be able to survive.

"That's right! I don't want money either, I'll send it to the inn for you!" The old man also interrupted quickly.

After Ye Zhiqiu heard these words, he felt that the young man was really pitiful. He thought of his mother and sister, who were almost blinded because of him studying at home.

"Get up quickly!" Ye Zhiqiu stepped forward to help, this is a poor man!

"Get up!" Seeing that his background was so pitiful, Gu Chengyu couldn't blame him anymore.

"Get up quickly! My lord forgives you!" The old man happily stepped forward to help the third son up.

In the end, Gu Chengyu and the others got into the old stubborn carriage, and the carriage left the pier and drove towards the street.

The capital city is indeed much more prosperous than the Fu city, with criss-cross streets and alleys, eaves facing each other, business and travel convergence, and restaurants everywhere.The cries on the street became louder and louder, and even the vendors on both sides were full. In addition to the pedestrians in the middle, although the street was very wide, the carriages passing through here were still very crowded.

"Master, this is the south side, and there are more small vendors. Let's pass through here, and then walk forward to look like a stick of incense, and we will not be far from the Gongyuan." Gu Chengyu heard the voice, paused with his hand holding the curtain, and went Looking from the side, it was Xiao Sanzi who spoke.

The carriage compartment just fits four people, plus some luggage, it is still a bit crowded inside, even Ming Yan sat on the shaft next to the old stubborn head outside.In such a crowded place, there was no room for the third child, so Gu Chengyu asked the third child not to follow, but unexpectedly he followed up again.

Little Sanzi's face was already covered with beads of sweat. The carriage was going so fast just now that Xiaosan might not be able to catch up. Now that the carriage slowed down due to congestion, Xiaosanzi could catch up and have time to introduce the situation on the street to Gu Chengyu.

"Didn't I tell you not to follow?" Gu Chengyu frowned, no wonder the young man's shoes were so useless, he probably followed the carriage like this when he was leading the way.

"It's okay, I'm used to it!" In this line of work, what's the point of running around with a carriage?How can people like them get in the car of a noble man?The gentlemen are afraid that they will dirty the carriage.

Gu Chengyu looked at Xiaosanzi's firm eyes and lowered the curtain.No matter!Just give some money at that time, and it can be regarded as helping the poor people.Life is not easy, and everyone is struggling to live because of their own difficulties. There are many situations like this, and he can help a little bit.

"Chengyu! But that kid followed?" Seeing Gu Chengyu talking to someone outside the carriage, Ye Zhiqiu thought it must be the third son.

Gu Chengyu nodded and said nothing.Ye Zhiqiu looked a little lonely, probably because of the same situation, he felt that he and Xiaosan were in the same boat.

Gu Chengyu has always felt that Sun Xian is more open-minded in this regard, and Sun Xian's previous family background was not good, but he did not complain about himself, but worked harder to live. This is what Gu Chengyu admired most about him.But Ye Zhiqiu is the opposite, he is sentimental and often complains about himself.

"Several, there is an inn in front of it. There are many inns inside, and it is not easy for the little old man's carriage to get in. I will put a few at the intersection. When you get off the car, you can choose any one." The old stubborn head looked at the intersection in front of him, Said to the few people in the back compartment.

"That's good! Then trouble the old man, just get off here!" Sun Xian replied, telling Ye Zhiqiu and the others to pack their bags and prepare to get off.

Gu Chengyu and the others got out of the carriage, turned around and gave the old stubborn man forty coins, but the old stubborn man refused to take it, and in the end Gu Chengyu forced it. He didn't want to take advantage of others, forty coins should be enough.

The few people who got out of the car at the back got off the carriage, and they were overwhelmed by the dense shops in front of them. As expected of the root of the imperial city, it was so prosperous that Ye Zhiqiu and the others had no time to turn their eyes.

Although Gu Chengyu had seen a lot in his previous life, he had never seen such a bustling street in ancient times!So it's also very interesting.

"Masters! Let me tell you about the situation in the inn!" The third son also caught up at the moment. He just stopped, took a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and then said to Gu Chengyu and the others .

"Then tell me." Gu Chengyu was a little curious, what else is there to pay attention to in these inns?Isn't it all the difference between big and small, expensive and not expensive?

"Going in here, the first few inns are all smaller inns, and the room price is also considered expensive, but during the autumn period, it must have risen a bit; walking in, the size of the inns is larger, and the inns inside are not only comfortable to live in. , also doubles as a restaurant; at the far end there is the most famous inn in the whole capital, which is the largest one here.”

Xiao Sanzi pointed to the shops inside and introduced to Gu Chengyu and others.
