A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 47 Chapter 47

The green water has no worries, but the face is wrinkled by the wind.

When a refreshing breeze blows, the surface of the water ripples in layers.The seedlings in the paddy fields outside the embankments on both sides of the bank are blown by the wind to make green waves.

As the setting sun was about to set, the passenger ship finally docked at the Wan'an Wharf in Songjiang Prefecture in the face of the sky full of sunset glow.

Pei Yanhua got off the passenger ship with nine of his students carrying their luggage. As for the few noble people who despised his students for being poor, Pei Yanhua didn't intend to ask them to go with them again.

Originally, going to listen to the great Confucianist Sima Gong's lecture this time was voluntary at his own expense. He was willing to spend money to bring his students out for study tours, and that was his own business.

But there is no obligation to take them with you.

Because Pei Yanhua from Songjiang Mansion had been here before, he took his students and easily found a clean inn with reasonable charges.

Needless to say, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao chose to share the same room, it was safe and economical for the two of them.

The other seven senior brothers, who have a strong relationship and in order to save money, also choose to share a room together.

For example, Mo Ziluo, who is aloof and a bit cleanliness, and a student whose family does not lack money, of course lives alone in a room.

Although Wang Libin's family is also rich, he is broad-minded and straightforward. When the bookworm Chen Han proposed that he wanted to share a room with him, he agreed without saying a word.

Liu Fei, with a warm and cheerful personality, looked around, and found that those who could share a room with two people were matched, and the rest were all self-proclaimed and lofty guys who did not want to share with others.

He had no choice but to open a guest room by himself.

After everyone put their luggage in the guest room, they washed up and gathered in the lobby to order food.

The cost of the dinner was ten taels of silver that each of them voluntarily handed over to teacher Pei Yanhua for safekeeping before they came.

Nine people are 90 taels. The money is only used for three meals a day.

During the meal, Pei Yanhua told everyone that they could go to Songjiang Mansion tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow would be the day when the great Confucian Sima Gong gave lectures.

After half a month, they had to go to Songjiang Prefecture Hanhua Academy to attend classes every day.

The next morning, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao had just woken up and finished washing when there was a knock on the door.

An Chuxia was packing her things, Gu Fangmiao was applying balm on her face, when she heard the knock on the door, she went to open the door, and saw Liu Fei, Mo Ziluo, Wang Libin, and Chen Han standing at the door.

A few people didn't enter the door, but stood at the door and said: "The teacher went to meet friends, and the other senior brothers also left, do you two want to go shopping with us!"

"Go! Brother, wait for us!" Gu Fangmiao was very happy when she heard that she was going out to play.

Seeing that Gu Fangmiao was so happy, An Chuxia packed her things without spoiling her interest, and followed Liu Fei and the others out of the inn.

Songjiang Prefecture is a coastal city, where people from Fanbang often come to do business.

Because the waterway here is more developed and there are many businessmen gathered here, An Chuxia and the others walked on the street, they saw all kinds of goods.

Liu Fei's four brothers surrounded An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao in the middle, trying to separate them from the crowd as much as possible, in case that local ruffian took the opportunity to take advantage of the woman.

Gu Fangmiao is now holding a bunch of candied haws in her left hand and cloud melon candy in her right. Any little girl who has never seen it before wants to go and have a look.

An Chuxia followed Gu Fangmiao, as long as she saw something she really liked, she would buy it for her.

Like delicate pearl flowers and silk flowers, and her favorite food.

Gu Fangmiao found that the things she looked at a few times were bought by An Chuxia after her. After that, she never dared to show that she was particularly interested in something.

Lan Xuanjiu leaned against the window of the private room of the most luxurious restaurant in Songjiang Mansion and looked down.

A look of interest suddenly appeared on his originally boring face.

The big black and white eyes are round and cute, and the eyelashes are flapping like butterfly wings, as if they are acting like a baby.

Under the straight and delicate bridge of the nose is a girl-like cherry mouth, as if sweet and tempting to pick.

Such a slender man, nearly eight feet tall, has a pair of innocent and childish facial features.

Lan Xuanjiu gently tapped his apple-like tender red cheeks, and those big and round pupils showed a light like looking at prey.

An Chuxia didn't know that her pampering and gentle expression towards Gu Fangmiao would be noticed by others.

At this moment, the group of them came to West Street, a street with the largest number of foreign merchants in Songjiang Prefecture.

Although it is not as bustling and lively as the East Street, the things sold here are expensive.

But the things on this street are all sold from other places, and many things are items that Gu Fangmiao and Liu Fei don't know.

Although An Chuxia recognized most of the things here, she didn't know what they were called in this era.

Just when everyone looked at the objects they didn't know at each stall, and asked the boss what it was and what it was called, it was also a good experience.

Suddenly I heard Gu Fangmiao pointing to a stall and saying in surprise: "Sister An, look...do they look like golden teeth!

There is also a soft thing protruding from the cloth bag next to it, does it look like a white cloud! "

An Chuxia turned her head to look at the place Gu Fangmiao pointed at, and almost dropped her jaw to the ground in surprise.

"How can there be corn and cotton here!"

"Sister An, what did you say?" Gu Fangmiao asked without hearing what An Chuxia said.

At this time, Liu Fei and Mo Ziluo also came over, and jokingly said, "Junior Sister Gu, I found something good, so I called your Sister An so eagerly to come over to see it!"

An Chuxia had already walked to the stall, picked up the corn and asked the boss what it was called.

The boss saw that he had come all the way from Fanbang in the Western Regions, and someone finally asked about the things he had collected. He showed his big white teeth and said, "Corn sticks, I heard from Fanbang that this is delicious."

In fact, the boss was willing to take back these things because they were cheap, and he didn't know how to make them delicious.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't know, it's not like meeting someone who knows.

An Chuxia found out that these things were sold by the boss from a foreign country. The corn is called corn cobs here, and the cotton is called Baidiezi.

She also saw chilli and watermelon seeds at the boss' stand.

An Chuxia pinched the snow-white cotton and found that there were still seeds in the cotton, which made her even happier.

Seeing these things, it goes without saying that An Chuxia would also buy them, although Liu Fei and the others don't know why An Chuxia bought these things.

But after getting along for so long, they also knew that An Chuxia was a steady character.

Since she must have her reasons for wanting to buy these things, no one asked nor stopped her.

It looks like there are a lot of cotton in the bulging five-cloth bag, but it is not heavy.But the real weight is the three big bags of corn, more than 300 catties.

The watermelon and chili seeds are even wrapped in two pieces of oiled paper, and they are covered.

With so many things added up, the chubby boss charged An Chuxia 20 taels of silver.

This surprised Wang Libin and Mo Ziluo, how these things are so much more expensive than food.

Seeing An Chuxia paid the money without even blinking.

"...?!" Everyone's eyes widened, so arrogant!
An Chuxia smiled and said nothing, they would think it was expensive, that's because a few people don't know how precious these seeds are, and if the planting is successful, how many people will be benefited.
