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

Chapter 383
Just three days passed like this, and it seems that in another four or five days, I will arrive in the capital.But the sky is not beautiful, there is already heavy snow like goose feathers in the sky.

Sitting in the room, Gu Chengyu watched the snowflakes falling into the river outside the window, and his mind was tossed. With such a heavy snow, the boat would be unable to sail immediately and had to stop again.

"My lord! I didn't expect the snow to come so early this year. It has been snowing for a whole day today. If it doesn't stop, we don't know if our boat will be able to reach the capital."

Ming Yan also looked out of the window worriedly, if he changed to a carriage, it would be a lot of trouble, this time he came to the capital, there were several more female relatives.

"It's going to snow, there's nothing we can do. Let's see! There are still four or five days to go. If you really can't get there, you can get there in seven or eight days by carriage."

Worrying is useless, it is better to calm down and practice calligraphy.Gu Chengyu laid out the paper, and just dipped the brush into ink when someone knocked on the door.

Ming Mo, who was standing by the side, hurriedly knocked on the door, "Master! It's Mr. Ye!"

"Chengyu!" Ye Zhiqiu said that the wind and cold had gradually subsided in the past two days, and he was able to walk outside the house.

"Why doesn't Senior Brother Ye rest in the room? It's very cold today." Gu Chengyu glanced at Ye Zhiqiu's clothes and almost laughed.

I saw that he was wearing a sky-blue long jacket with a cross-collar over his head. This thick jacket made Ye Zhiqiu's originally thin body into a chubby body, and his body gained several times in an instant.She even had to wear a thick sapphire blue muslin cloak outside the jacket, and wrapped her body tightly when she entered.

"There is a charcoal basin in the room, you should take off your cloak quickly, lest you catch the wind and cold again if you go out."

"It's really cold today." Ye Zhiqiu sneezed violently when he entered the room.

He rubbed his hands vigorously, took off the cloak on his body, Ming Yan picked it up casually, and hung it on the shelf.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Gu Chengyu's thin clothes, and said enviously: "You, a martial arts practitioner, have a different body and bones. You can see that you are wearing a padded straight-fronted gown. I have worn so many that I can hardly move. .”

Gu Chengyu shook his head with a smile, "Then I told you to take a stride with me in the past, but you refused! Just practice some hard work, and it's good to keep fit."

After hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu shook his head like a rattle, "Your horse gait is too tiring. Besides, even if I practice every day, I still can't do it like you. I don't want to suffer!"

"Have you and Big Brother Sun decided which academy to get into?" Gu Chengyu asked Mingmo to wash the pen and ink off the table, anyway, he couldn't write any more at the moment.

"The first choice is of course Boshan Academy. All the teachers in it have backgrounds, and I heard that there are officials!" Ye Zhiqiu had already heard about the name of Boshan Academy during the last provincial examination.

"I heard that the entrance exam of Boshan Academy is very difficult, but you and Brother Sun have a solid foundation, so you should not be afraid."

Gu Chengyu was not worried about whether the two could enter Boshan Academy. The talents and learning of the two were not low. Although Sun Xian was not as knowledgeable as Ye Zhiqiu, he had a solid foundation.

"You have to take the exam to find out. Even if you don't pass the exam, there are other good academies. Just pick the one that's closer."

The family went to Beijing together, and Ye Zhiqiu let go of his worries.Although he was reluctant to part with his eldest sister, after all, the eldest sister was married and had a husband who loved her, so he went to the capital and often wrote letters back home.

Then, Ye Zhiqiu explained the purpose of his visit, "It's snowing so much today, it's much colder than the previous few days. If it continues to fall in the next two days, the river will be covered with thick ice, and the boat will still be able to leave." Is it done?"

"Let's see again! If you can't go, then it's not far from the capital. Find a county that's closer and get off. Let's hire an escort."

There were a lot of people here this time, Gu Chengyu planned to hire an escort agency, relying on just a few of them, Ming Mo and the others would definitely not be able to bear it.

"This year it was cold early, and in previous years it was still a few days before it snowed!"

After a day, everyone's worries came true, and the river froze.

"Mingmo, since the ice is not thick yet, the boat must be at the pier, so let's get off here. You are looking for an escort in this county. We have so many people and luggage, we must find an escort."

The most troublesome thing is that there are several women in their line, which is very inconvenient.

Gu Chengyu packed all his luggage, he didn't have many things, valuable things can be put in the space, and the rest went to the capital to buy.I only brought some clothes, some commonly used toiletries and accessories, etc. Two small boxes are enough.It's just that Gu Wan has a lot of things, so she should rent more carriages.

"Chengyu! Our luggage is still on the boat behind, we have to find someone to unload it." Sun Xian hurriedly came to Gu Chengyu's room, and everyone on the boat was about to disembark, so the pier is very chaotic now.

"Then tell the bag bearers on the pier to move it! We don't have enough manpower, so it's just a matter of a few dollars."

The person who carried the bag pointed to this kind of weather to make more money, otherwise the whole winter would be difficult and he would be tired from moving.Sun Xian is used to frugality, but he doesn't want to tire his second sister.

Ming Mo and the others work very fast. There are three bodyguard agencies in the county seat, and they found a big bodyguard agency with a good reputation.

The bag bearers on the pier were called to carry all the luggage into the carriage. Gu Chengyu and his party rented ten carriages in total, which were still crowded.The escort agency happened to have a single escort going to the capital, and Gu Chengyu and the others happened to be passing by.Dart silver is not expensive, it only cost more than 80 taels of silver.

"This is Mr. Gu! We are going to set off tomorrow, take a look, can it be done?"

The head of the Wumen Escort Bureau's surname is Wu, and everyone in the Escort Bureau calls him Escort Chief Wu.

"Boss Wu is very polite. We can leave at any time. Let's find an inn to stay tonight. Please let Boss Wu know before he leaves tomorrow."

"It's natural, then I won't bother."

Gu Chengyu sized up this escort Wu. He had a burly figure, a square face, a full beard, and eyes as big as copper bells. He looked like a straightforward man.

"Little Treasure! This bodyguard agency should be reliable, right?" Gu Wan had never traveled far, so she was a little scared, but felt novel.

"I've inquired about it nearby. It has a good reputation and the name of the Escort Bureau is very famous. Don't worry about the second sister, don't you still have me?"

Of course, Gu Chengyu would not really entrust the personal safety of these people to these people, so vigilance is still necessary.

A group of people found a clean inn in the county town to live in. The inn was not big, and they booked all the rooms on the first floor, and the back yard happened to put their luggage.

"We still have to keep watch at night, so let's do it like last time! You may have to work harder recently. Have you inquired about the escorts that the escort agency is going to go this time?"

Ordinary darts will only let the second in command of the dart bureau or other dart heads go, and the chief dart head will be in charge of the dart bureau, so this dart trip may be no small matter.

What Gu Chengyu worried about was that the more expensive the escorts were, the more dangerous they would be.If they met Jie darts halfway, it would definitely be a bloody battle.
