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

Chapter 963 Changtian Mansion

Ming Mo wiped the sweat from his brow, the heat in the capital was unbearable at this time of year.

The chest is stuffy, and even if I use my internal energy, I still feel that it is not enough.

Look at the dense vines again, there is a shade below.

Ming Mo walked a few steps quickly, and when he reached the shade, a gust of cool wind hit him, and he let out a sigh.

Liandong, who was standing aside fanning Gu Chengyu, smiled at Mingmo, and then shook his head.

Ming Mo knew what Liandong meant, and reckoned that the lord was asleep at the moment.

But he had something to report, so he was a little hesitant, wondering if he wanted to disturb his lord.

"What's the matter?" Gu Chengyu opened his slightly closed eyes and looked at Ming Mo.

A pair of misty peach blossom eyes seemed drunk but not drunk, and the corners of the dark red lips were slightly hooked, making the face of Lonicera, who was fanning at the side, even more rosy.

Her family's adults are so good-looking, she can't imagine that there are such rich and handsome people in this world.

It's no wonder that Lichun's elder sister never forgets you, and she still refuses to say goodbye.

Thinking of this, Liandong pouted.

Lichun is already 17 years old. Before the adults asked her to pick a steward or follower in the mansion, Lichun firmly refused.

My lord can't do anything, so he plans to transfer Lichun away from his side.

I wanted to be promoted to be a steward, but I was not allowed to wait in the house.

It's just that in the end Lichun was asked by the old lady, saying that since adults don't like Lichun to serve her, let Lichun serve her.

Liandong had seen Lichun often show courteousness to the old lady before, coaxing the old lady into a ecstasy, which made the old lady care about her so much, and it was because of this that the adults were embarrassed!
What is Li Chun thinking, who doesn't know the servants in the mansion?
Even the adults must know it well, otherwise they wouldn't have transferred Li Chun away from his side.

But Lichun is just a girl after all, when the mistress comes in, someone will take care of her.

Of course Gu Chengyu also had the same thoughts, Lichun was just a girl, he couldn't afford to spend his energy on Lichun.

"My lord." Ming Mo was about to report, but didn't want to be interrupted by a voice.

"Jinyu!"

Ming Mo had a helpless look on his face, yes!There is no need for him to report now.

Gu Chengyu sat up straight and looked at the grapes on the grape rack, eh!It should be almost ready.

"Jinyu! I have good news for you."

Zhu Pang ran in excitedly, waving at Gu Chengyu regardless of the sweat on his face.

Gu Chengyu smiled, "But can you lift a [-]-jin boulder?"

These words successfully made Zhu Pang stop, and at the same time, the joy on his face was replaced by frustration.

"Which pot do you really want to lift? I have practiced this foreign kung fu well, and my strength has increased a lot. It's just that the growth of this internal strength is a bit slow, and I still can't lift a huge boulder of a hundred catties."

With a gloomy face, Zhu Pang sat down on the high table next to Gu Chengyu, then fell silent.

Gu Chengyu didn't care that his words caused Zhu Pang [-] points of damage, and he continued: "Then can you lift heavy boulders now?"

Next year there will be not only literary exams, but also martial arts exams.

I said before that Zhu Pang wanted to participate in martial arts, and he has been practicing hard for the past two years.

Gu Chengyu has put Zhu Pang's martial arts cheats to great use, and Zhu Pang is gearing up for next year's martial arts exam.

"It can only lift about eighty catties."

Zhu Pang took a deep breath and smiled helplessly.

Don't look at the difference of only twenty catties, but this twenty catties is like a gap, and he can't cross it no matter what.

Gu Chengyu coughed lightly, "Actually, being able to lift [-] catties is already quite remarkable, but a [-] catty boulder is for the champion of martial arts. Don't ask too much, after all, there is no one in this world who can lift You have to move a huge boulder weighing hundreds of catties!"

Blindly attacking will only make Zhu Pang lose confidence, and it is better to encourage him appropriately, after all, Zhu Pang has worked very hard.

It is not bad to have such a result within two years, which is inseparable from Zhu Pang's usual efforts.

"Really?" Zhu Pang's eyes immediately became bright, and Gu Chengyu nodded against his will.

"Maybe it's true." Gu Chengyu thought it was funny, but it was actually not true, because he could lift it up.

Of course, this is under the condition of internal force blessing.In the past two years, he has strengthened the cultivation of internal strength, which can be regarded as a small achievement.

And in this world, they are not the only ones who practice internal strength, not to mention other things, but those martial arts families, there are countless disciples who practice internal strength, it only depends on whether the internal strength is deep or not!

Zhu Pang was comforted by Gu Chengyu, and a smile finally broke out on his face again.

Gu Chengyu silently turned his gaze back to the grape arbor above, because Zhu Pang's baby face was full of disobedience to the strong body.

Originally, Zhu Pang's figure was a bit round, and his face was also round, which made him look quite cute.

But since practicing the exercises, he has consumed a lot of physical energy every day.

Therefore, Zhu Pang's food intake has tripled, and in order to increase his internal strength, he also took a lot of natural materials and earth treasures. Today, Zhu Pang has become a muscular man.

The protruding pectoral muscles and the brachialis muscles on the arms can run like a horse, and the whole body is two or three times stronger than before.

Naturally, handsome men and muscular men are not popular nowadays, and women prefer suave and personable gentlemen.

Even Zhu Pang's mother couldn't help persuading Zhu Pang not to practice anymore, because his body was stronger than his father's.

"It rained for several days in a row a few days ago, and it finally cleared up today. It's just that it's too hot after the clearing. I'm sweating all over my body when I'm sitting here."

Seeing that Gu Chengyu didn't have a drop of sweat on his face, Zhu Pang knew that Gu Chengyu was not afraid of heat, so he quickly instructed Liandong to fan him.

"It is indeed different from previous years. This year seems to be extra hot."

Gu Chengyu nodded, and couldn't help thinking of Changtian Mansion far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

According to the news from Changtian Mansion, it is said that several prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River have been hit by heavy rains for several days, and the people are unbearably disturbed.

Among them, the situation of Changtianfu is the most worrying, because it is close to Tianya River.

The Tianya River is a river wider than the Jingyuan River, and it is also the most important traffic artery for water transportation.

Every year, countless grains are transported from the Tianya River to other state capitals, not to mention other items. The merchants who come and go are like crucian carp crossing the river.

It's just that there has been heavy rain for several days in Changtian Mansion, and it is now July, which is the flood season.

I was afraid that the embankment at Changtian Mansion would not be strong, and the river would break the embankment and submerge the farmland and houses downstream.

Gu Chengyu's worries were not groundless.After all, the torrential rain came very quickly this time, and it still shows no sign of stopping.

He ordered people to pay attention to the movements of Changtian Mansion every day, fearing that if a dike burst, thousands of people would be drowned.

Gu Chengyu frowned and thought for a moment, thinking that he still had to remind the emperor.

Although the embankment had just been strengthened in the past two months, how can people feel at ease in what the officials below are doing?
