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

Chapter 326 Compensation

In fact, in her girl's money box, there are only more than 300 taels of silver.The monthly allowance of the girl's family in the Duke's Mansion is two taels of silver, and with the addition of the red envelopes received during the holidays, they have saved so much.

It's not easy to save these. When the girls give out their monthly period, those women have to find an excuse to dig out some from it.

"Put it away! Tomorrow's mother will go out to inquire, and she must know his name. When I arrive at my grandfather's house, I can send someone to thank him!"

Being able to take a boat these few days reminded Yao Mengxian of Qiu Wei.That young man has an extraordinary bearing and is still young. He looks like he came to participate in the Qiuwei Juzi. He is probably the Juren. If he fails the ranking, he should have returned to his hometown long ago.However, there is only one such a small Juren in Dayan Dynasty, and that is Gu Chengyu.

Yao Mengxian is also guessing about these things. She has asked people to inquire. Gu Chengyu's family was originally a farmer. Although it seems to be prosperous later, it can be regarded as a rich family!A farmer would have such martial arts?In short, this is not like a farm boy.

After Gu Chengyu finished his meal, he began to practice calligraphy.Practicing calligraphy requires concentration and calmness, so he told Ming Mo not to let anyone disturb him.

By the time Gu Chengyu finished practicing calligraphy, it was already dark.Ming Yan had already lit the lamp in the room, Gu Chengyu washed his hands in the copper basin beside him, 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 gangsters okay? Did you ask the boatman, when will we arrive at the next pier?"

"Back to son! The little one just went to inquire about it, and said that you can reach the pier before noon tomorrow, and there is still a checkpoint there. Isn't the young master going to write a letter? The little one went to ask Sun Gongzi and the others, and their letter has already been written." Alright, let us send it back to Jingyuan Mansion together." Ming Yan stepped forward and handed the dry cloth to Gu Chengyu to intervene.

"Well! It's just that there may be an investigation tomorrow, and I don't know if there is time to deliver the letter. You ask Mingmo to rent a carriage and send the letter to the escort. We bought a lot of things this time, and we will send it back together. I don't know. It will take a few days."

Gu Chengyu has already made a plan. If the interrogation will take a few days tomorrow, they will take a carriage instead.It's just that there are too many things, and the road must be inconvenient, so it's better to let the Escort send it back, anyway, it is also a letter.His mother can also buy some more according to what he bought.

"Young Master, do you want to take a carriage instead? This is not far from Jingyuan Mansion. If you take a boat, it will be faster." Originally, Young Master wanted to rest at home for more than a month before leaving for the capital. If the boat was delayed, Then the days at home must be short.

Going back this time, there will be a lot of entertainment.There are many people to visit, more visitors to visit, plus there are still memorial archways and banquets, and a wedding for the second girl, the time of more than a month is also very tight.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow! Mr. Sun and the others are all awake?"

"I'm already awake, and I've had my meal, but Mr. Ye is not very energetic, as if he was frightened."

Gu Chengyu frowned when he heard that, Ye Zhiqiu was frail and frightened, he thought he was going to lie on the bed for a few more days, so he had to go and have a look.

"Why didn't you say it sooner? It's not too late now, I'll go and have a look." There was no doctor on board, and he still knew a little bit about it, so he felt relieved to go and have a look.

Gu Chengyu led Mingyan to Sun Xian's house, the room was spacious enough for two people to live in.

"It's so late, why are you still here?" Sun Xian opened the door and saw it was Gu Chengyu. After saying this, he stepped aside and let the two of them enter the room.

"I heard from Ming Yan that Senior Brother Ye is not feeling well. Let me come and see. Is Senior Brother Ye feeling better?" Gu Chengyu walked to the bed, but Ye Zhiqiu was not asleep.

"It's nothing serious, just a little weak, please come and see me!" Ye Zhiqiu sat up quickly, but Gu Chengyu pressed him down.

"You are not feeling well, so don't be too polite. I know some medical skills, and I will feel your pulse." After speaking, Gu Chengyu pulled Ye Zhiqiu's wrist to feel his pulse.

After a long time, he let go of his hand, "It's just that I was frightened, it doesn't matter, it will be fine after a few days. Those people are Jiang bandits, if you don't kill them, the whole ship will die under their swords, Senior Brother Ye To kill them is to eliminate harm for the common people. Brother Ye, don't think too much, just take two of the pills I gave you and get a good night's sleep."

Gu Chengyu knew that Ye Zhiqiu was actually having a heart attack. The night before last, Ye Zhiqiu saw that the Jiang bandits were going to attack Sun Xian by surprise, so he killed him.Because it was the first time to kill someone, he would inevitably be affected in his heart. He could only enlighten him about this kind of thing, and the most important thing was to figure it out by himself.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Gu Chengyu's still calm and calm face, and smiled wryly.He just killed a Jiang bandit, and he has been terrified for two days.And Gu Chengyu killed so many thieves without changing his face.Sure enough, some people are born to do great things!

After comforting Ye Zhiqiu, Gu Chengyu walked to his room.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in front, Gu Chengyu stopped to listen, and the sound turned out to be from the deck.

Seeing her master watching there, Mingyan immediately stepped forward and explained, "It's those boat passengers. They have been arguing for a while. They want the boatman to refund the money, but the steward said that he didn't have so much money with him, so let everyone wait a moment! When he arrived at the Jingyuanjiang Wharf, he went to get the money. But those people refused, saying that they wanted the steward to give it now, and they wanted the steward to compensate everyone for their losses. After all, everyone was frightened this time, so of course the steward would not Ken! No, everyone quarreled."

Gu Chengyu asked Ming Yan while walking towards the room.

"Loss?" That's right, two passengers died this time!It's just that the two passengers seemed to be alone, and no family members were seen crying.However, what should be paid still needs to be paid, after all, they sacrificed for the lives of the entire ship.

Gu Chengyu also intends to contribute, and when the boatman finds out who it is, he should pay some compensation.Of course, he also called on those who volunteered to fight against the Jiang bandits in order to save the lives of the entire crew.

If something like this happened on board, the money collected before must be refunded.After all, the life of a boatman was almost lost. Although the Jiang bandit died and was caught later, that cannot be said to be the boatman's credit.

After all, without Gu Chengyu and the others, the Jiang bandits might have succeeded in their sneak attack this time.On this vast river, where can everyone escape, or are they going to go to the tiger's mouth?

Originally, such a big ship should be prepared on board.But regardless of the boatmen or the thugs, there are only so few people, and each of them is half-hearted. Isn't this just taking their lives for granted?
This time the boat owner will definitely have to pay a lot, it can only be considered that the boat owner is unlucky, since doing business on the water is a big risk!
