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

Chapter 378
There were a lot of things to buy this time, and there were a lot of people, so Gu Chengyu asked Ming Mo and the others to drive a carriage.

"Mom! This time we are all going to study in the capital, so we don't need to buy much for the new house in the village. When we get to the capital, let the second sister and the others buy it. I have already packed all the good things in the capital. .”

Gu Chengyu and Mrs. Lu sat in a carriage and chatted about what they were going to buy later.

"Xiaobao! Brother Xian, can his mother agree to let Wan'er go to the capital?" Mrs. Lu was a little worried about this, so don't talk about others.She herself is used to living in Shangling Village, and she doesn't really want to go to other places.

"Mom! She'll agree."

The carriage was moving fast, but it was very stable.Not long after, Gu Chengyu and the others arrived at the county seat. Gu Chengyu got out of the carriage and hurriedly delivered a post to Shopkeeper Liu of Huichuntang, and then they set off again.

Looking at the city tower that was getting closer and closer, Mrs. Lu panicked involuntarily. After more than 20 years, she has returned to this place.

When the carriage entered the city gate, Mrs. Lu lowered the opened curtain. She was already past the age where she likes to see new things.

"Mother! Didn't you say that there are still a few beds left to look at the festive quilt? This is the largest cloth shop in Fucheng. I will let Mingyan follow you, and I will visit the teacher."

I didn't mention Jiang Zhifu, because I didn't want Lu Shi to listen too much.At the end of this year, the prefect Jiang's performance appraisal must be excellent. At that time, he will leave Jingyuan Mansion and return to Beijing to report on his work.Maybe he will be promoted next year, so naturally he won't stay in Jingyuan Mansion anymore.

"Then you go! Don't you still have the boss and the boss's wife?"

Gu Chengyu helped Mrs. Lu out of the carriage in front of a cloth shop, and ordered Ming Yan to stay and help with errands.

Jiang Zhifu sat in a sedan chair and was about to go back to the government office.He just bought Yipinzhai pastries, his mother likes to eat them.He is in a good mood today, and his relationship in Beijing told him that next year he should be promoted to work in Beijing.

"Master! Look, isn't that Young Master Gu?" The steward knows Gu Chengyu, and in recent years, Gu Chengyu has often gone to their residence because of the experimental field.

"Oh?" Jiang Mingyuan lifted the curtain, ready to take a look.

He calculated that Gu Chengyu would be here in the next few days, and he would definitely come to the house to pay a visit.He also specifically told the concierge to report as soon as he arrived.

From here, I can only see the back, but it is not clear.Jiang Mingyuan saw Mingmo, and this should undoubtedly be Gu Chengyu.Anyway, he would come to Fuchu later, so he didn't want to say hello again.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chengyu actually helped a woman out of the carriage.The sedan chair got closer and closer, and when Jiang Mingyuan saw the woman's face, he was stunned as if struck by lightning.

The girl smiling at him in the peach blossom forest coincides with the face of the woman in front.

After more than 20 years, he thought he had blurred that face.But now, it feels so clear.

"Mother should be dressed like this on weekdays, she looks more energetic." Gu Chengyu looked at Lu Shi who was rarely dressed up, and praised sincerely.

Today, Mrs. Lu is wearing a grape-purple double-breasted narrow-sleeved gown, and a fragrant concubine-colored Liufuluo skirt.She wore a bun on her head, put on the hairpin that Gu Chengyu gave her, and wore an excellent bracelet on her hand. This outfit was never worn at home on weekdays.

"How can I wear this at home? How troublesome?" Lu said with a smile.

Jiang Mingyuan stared fixedly at Mrs. Lu, and after so many years, there were not many marks on her face.It's just that compared with the girl's appearance at the beginning, there are more years of precipitation.

It wasn't until the sedan chair got farther and farther away from Gu Chengyu and the others, and the sedan chair turned a corner, that Jiang Mingyuan put down the curtain.It seems that Hibiscus has been doing well in the past few years, so he can rest assured.Some people, if they miss it, they just miss it.

Her thoughts flew to more than 20 years ago, when she was still a young girl in her [-]s.When his mother said that she would point out the hibiscus to him, he was very happy.Otherwise, Yu Shi would not have brought up this matter even after he strongly opposed it.

Who would have thought that good fortune tricks people, and the two are destined for each other after all.He didn't change his original intention, but Yiren thought he was someone else's wife.

"Oh! Is it really a hibiscus?"

Gu Chengyu supported Mrs. Lu, preparing to enter the shop.Suddenly, a surprised woman's voice came from the side. Gu Chengyu just wanted to look back, but was grabbed by Mrs. Lu and hurried towards the shop.

"Hibiscus!"

Seeing that Mrs. Lu ignored her, the woman trotted up to the two of them.
Of course Gu Chengyu knew that she was calling his mother. When his mother was a girl in the mansion, she was called Mu Jin.

"It's really you!"

A woman wearing a ginger satin gown was looking at Mrs. Lu eagerly.

Gu Chengyu took a look, and found that the material was below average among silks and satins, and the hairpin on the woman's head was only a silver hairpin, and she still had a basket in her hand.Looking at this attire, she looks like a proud woman in a wealthy family's mansion.

Looking at the woman in front of her, Mrs. Lu forced a smile, "It's Cuiming!"

"It's me! I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. When I saw you just now, I almost didn't dare to recognize you. You are still so good-looking, but I am old."

Back then, her relationship with Mu Jin in the mansion was quite harmonious.The same girl who was favored by the old lady, but Mu Jin's favor is different from them!She had known for a long time that the old lady wanted the hibiscus to be the master's roommate, because the hibiscus had a good color.

"We are the same age, how can I not be old?" Now that we met, and we couldn't avoid it, Lu simply replied generously.

In fact, Cuiming was puzzled in his heart. Back then, Mu Jin said that he was given to a farm widower. Now, how can he live a good life now?That skin is not maintained at all like it was exposed to the wind and sun in the farmland, the skin is smooth, and the clothes on her are also expensive.

In fact, Lu's age is slower than others because Gu Chengyu often pours Lingquan into tea.A few years ago, how could the Lu family look like this?
"Look at me! I haven't told you yet, this is my youngest son. Xiaobao, quickly call Aunt Cui." As for Cuiming's plotting against her back then, now she doesn't want to worry about it anymore.It's nothing more than Yu's plan to take Cuiming's old lady to threaten her.

What happened many years ago has passed, and now she is living a good life, and she is not unwilling.

Cuiming was only focused on talking to Mrs. Lu just now, but didn't pay attention to Gu Chengyu next to him.Hearing the reminder, he looked to the side, "Master Gu?"

Cuiming was extremely surprised, did not expect that Young Master Gu who has been walking around in the mansion is Mu Jin's son?
"Aunt Cui!" Gu Chengyu yelled after hearing what his mother said, and nodded. He was sure that this woman was a wife of the Jiang family.It would definitely be inappropriate to salute in his capacity as a Juren.

"No way! No way! Young Master Gu is the master's distinguished guest, how can you call me Aunt Cui?"

Cuiming waved her hands again and again, she also met Gu Chengyu twice in the mansion.However, that was when he passed on the news, and he had seen him from afar, but he had a deep impression on him.
