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

Chapter 54 Chapter 54

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the sky just turned pale.

Before everyone got up, An Chuxia put on her clothes and quietly walked out the door, went to the back kitchen, fetched a basin of water, washed up briefly, and walked out of the inn.

Because people often go to the pier early to take a boat, An Chuxia can easily find a carriage pulling people and goods on the street.

Originally, three or four carriages were enough for ten of them and their goods to squeeze together, but in order to make everyone sit more comfortably, An Chuxia still hired five carriages.

When she came back, she saw that everyone was up too.

So An Chuxia gave the carriage drivers extra wages and asked them to load the corn and cotton into the cart first, so that it would be convenient to leave later and save time.

An Chuxia has always been respectful and generous to those who work hard to earn money. After the coachman sent them to the pier, he volunteered to help her carry the goods onto the ship.

After they disembarked, An Chuxia had already bought cooked meat and pancakes for several drivers for breakfast.

Usually they pull people and goods to support their families, so they are not willing to buy so much cooked meat and pancakes to eat, and they are not willing to eat them alone. After receiving them, they put them in their arms and prepare to take them back to enjoy with their families.

After all, An Chuxia was not stingy, and there were a lot of cooked meat in each pancake.

Seeing that An Chuxia was able to treat the low-level people who were begging for life like this, Pei Yanhui nodded in satisfaction, and raised his hand to stroke his not very long beard under his chin.

An Chuxia not only bought breakfast for the coachmen, she also bought pancakes and cooked meat for her teacher Pei Yanhua and her seniors, as well as the special bamboo porridge in Songjiang Mansion.

No one mentioned the cost of breakfast, because the brothers and sisters still spend a lot of time together, and there will always be a chance to pay it back in the future.

Just as An Chuxia and the others finished their breakfast, they saw the other seven students from Evergreen Academy boarding the passenger ship.

Because Pei Yanhua heard about the reissue of the identity card for entering and leaving Hanhua Academy last time, now he doesn't even want to see the students from these other classes.

What kind of people are they? My students have been busy to reissue their ID cards for them. They didn't even say thank you. How could he be happy as a teacher.

However, Pei Yanhua was always a teacher, and when they came to say hello, he still responded.

However, Pei Yanhua didn't bother with them. The incident of a few people making trouble in front of Hanhua Academy was spread by the students who went to other academies in Lushan County not long after.

When this matter spread, Lu Mingyuan, who almost lost face with his old friend, kicked them out.

But at this time, Bai Weiwei and her cousin Zhong Haowei, the seven students, don't know what will happen next.

Bai Weiwei walked up to An Chuxia who was standing on the deck looking at the scenery on both sides of the river, and asked in a soft and mysterious voice: "Junior Sister An, did you buy that young lady in red in the Quyou Hall last night?" ?!"

An Chuxia turned her head to look at her with deceptive peach blossom eyes, without a trace of emotion in her eyes, until she looked at Bai Weiwei and lowered her head with guilt.

Then he said indifferently: "...No!"

Then he ignored her and continued to look at the luxuriant and shady reeds on the bank. The breeze blew and the green waves rippled, which made people have infinite reverie.

Occasionally, one or two wild ducks swim out of the reeds and chase on the water, adding a touch of interest to the plain scenery.

Bai Weiwei made a fool of An Chuxia here, and she disliked her even more in her heart, wondering where a female student from a poor family came from, so she dared to ignore her with such arrogance.

The passenger ship arrived in Lushan County smoothly. After discussing with Gu Fangmiao, An Chuxia found her teacher Pei Yanhua and said that she wanted to get off at Yunshui Pier.

During this time, I want to have a good rest at home and review what I have learned this time.

Pei Yanhua knew that most of the students would go home this time to recharge their batteries and prepare for the township examination in half a month, so he readily agreed.

Pei Yanhua also accompanied An Chuxia to discuss with the boat boss, to see if they could stop at Yunshui Wharf.

The black, thin and strong middle-aged boat boss thought that the stewed meat that this little girl cut last time at the back kitchen of his boat seemed to have been delivered to her at Yunshui Wharf.

So I thought of the boss of the boat with the smell of braised pork, and agreed to stop there for a while, and wanted to go down and buy a piece of braised pork.

In the afternoon when the sun was setting, the passenger ship finally arrived at Yunshui Wharf. An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao bid farewell, and teacher Pei Yanhua and all the brothers got off the boat.

It was a perfect coincidence for the two of them to catch up. Just after An Jinchen and Runsheng sold the last piece of stewed meat, they were ready to close the stall and go home.

They walked up to the two of them with the boat boss who wanted to buy lo-mei.

"Xiao Xia!" An Chuxia, who Runsheng looked up and saw first, shouted in surprise.

Only then did An Jinchen turn around and see his sister, happily showing her big white teeth.

"... Xia Xia is back!"

An Chuxia also looked at them with a smile, "Yes, brother, brother Runsheng, I'm back."

Walking closer and seeing that there was nothing left in the stewed meat pot, An Chuxia looked apologetically at the disappointed boat boss.

But An Chuxia still asked: "Brother, are you all sold out of your lo mei?"

"...It's sold out, and there is only one braised goose left for Runsheng to put away and prepare to take it back for dinner with our brothers!"

Hearing what An Jinchen said, the shrewd eyes of the boat boss lit up again, and he looked at An Chuxia a little flatteringly.

Thinking that the passenger ship didn't stop at Yunshui Wharf originally, it was because the owner of the ship was kind enough to help, so An Chuxia had no choice but to ask if she could let her two older brothers save the stewed goose that she had saved for herself, and give it to the owner of the ship today.

An Jinchen and Runsheng looked at each other after hearing this, and they both showed hearty smiles, "What's wrong with that, anyway, we can do it again tomorrow."

Seeing that the boat owner wanted to give money, An Jinchen waved his hand, "Take it...take it, I didn't plan to sell it anyway, and today you are kind enough to stop here and put my two younger sisters off the boat.

It's too late for me to thank you, this stewed goose will be my gift to you. "

The boss of the boat is also a cheerful person, and the two men who don't care about trivial matters just got it right.

If it wasn't for the fact that the passenger ship couldn't dock at this pier for too long, the two of them would have almost bought wine to beg for help.

An Chuxia asked her elder brother An Jinchen to find workers to go to the boat and bring down the corn and cotton she had bought.

After asking how many things there were, An Jinchen and Runsheng said at the same time that they needed to find someone for this little thing, and they moved it down with the boatman ordered by the boat boss and put it on the bullock cart.

After the passenger ship left downstream, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao sat in the bullock cart, while An Jinchen and Runsheng sat in front.

The four of them walked towards home along the field path facing the setting sun.

Occasionally, there was a relaxed chat with laughter from a few people, floating in the green fields full of crops.
