Chapter 61 Chapter 61
An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao, who were carrying their bags, boarded the carriage they had just hired in the town, because they had to take a boat to the provincial capital when they arrived at the county seat.

So there was no place to put my carriage there, so I just stayed at Gu's.

Watching An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao leave.

Seeing Gu's tears shed until the two children left, Gu Tongsheng stretched out his hand to hold his wife and said, "Go back!
When the children grow up, let them break through and fight by themselves! "

The two old men walked into the house with some staggering steps.

No one noticed that under the eaves of Dong's house not far from Gu's house, Dong Xiucai's wife, Mrs. Wang, who came out to dump the tribute bucket, watched An Chuxia and their carriage disappear on the long street.

He gave a loud bah!
His eyes were full of envy and jealousy.

I feel that the examiners of the imperial examinations are all blind. It is obvious that my daughter is so knowledgeable, and she has been taught by her father-in-law since she was a child.

How could he not even pass the exam.

If you don't pass the college examination, you are not a scholar, and you don't even have the qualifications to go to the township examination.

And that bitch was lucky after leaving his private school, and I heard that he is now a junior in the imperial examination.

"No! It must be that bitch who took away her daughter's luck in the exam.

Today I have to go to the temple on Zhenxi Mountain to worship the Great Immortal, and let the Great Immortal and his old man cast spells to bring back good luck!
As long as you go to pay homage to the Great Immortal and get back your own good luck, that bitch will definitely fail the provincial examination this time. "

After talking to herself with a vicious smile on her lips, Mrs. Wang hurried back to pay homage to the Great Immortal.

Here, An Chuxia and the others have already left Qingshi Town and are going to take a boat at Fuyun Wharf in Lushan County.

Because most of the passenger ships departing from Lushan County did not stop at Yunshui Wharf, it would be easier for them to take a boat there in the early summer.

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao sat in the carriage with Mutan next to the door, while An Jinchen thought it was hot inside and sat in front with the driver.

Standing by the city gate, Run Song carefully watched every carriage entering the city, and finally saw An Jinchen sitting in front of a carriage.

Hastily shouted loudly: "Ah Chen!"

"Brother Runsong, why are you here?!" An Chuxia said in surprise when she saw Runsong.

Runsong couldn't help but glanced into the carriage.

Then he replied: "The day before yesterday, Runsheng accompanied you to the county and said that Xiaoxia would leave for the provincial capital to take an exam today, so I thought of coming to see you off."

At this time, Mu Tan politely opened the door of the carriage.

Runsong and An Chuxia finished greeting each other.

Turning his head, he saw the little girl sitting inside with a rosy complexion, looking at him with watery eyes, and such a tall and strong man suddenly had red ears.

"Why did you go alone, Mr. Gu and the others didn't accompany you?!"

"Uh..." An Chuxia, aren't we all human?
Gu Fangmiao nodded with a sweet smile, and said, "Yes! My grandparents are getting old, so I didn't let them go with me."

An Jinchen saw that everyone had finished greeting each other. Although the carriage they were riding in did not completely block the road, it was still very inconvenient for the carriage behind to go around.

So I wanted to say goodbye to Brother Runsong and make way for him.

Unexpectedly, before An Jinchen could speak, Runsong looked at the little girl sitting cross-legged in the carriage, and suddenly said to An Chuxia and the others: "You guys go to the Fuyun Wharf and wait for me, I will Follow you to the provincial capital."

Except for An Chuxia who narrowed her clear eyes when she heard what Runsong said, everyone else was shocked.

"Brother Runsong~"

An Jinchen: "...?!"

After Runsong finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.

The coachman drove the horses pulling the cart again, and headed towards Fuyun Wharf.

When they came to Fuyun Wharf, An Jinchen paid the fare to the coachman. They took their luggage and walked to the side of the wharf under a big tree to wait for Runsong.

Today's weather is fine, and the pier is full of people.

Under the sunlight, the surface of the water sparkled with colorful halos.

Today is the fifth day of August, and they will arrive in Jiangning City tomorrow evening. They still have plenty of time to leave two days in advance.

It's just that the sky is unpredictable, and who knows what will happen next.

Runsong has always been prudent in his work and did not make An Chuxia and the others wait long, so he went to the yamen to find his boss to ask for leave, and came back with a change of clothes that he had packed at home.

After Runsong arrived, everyone heard the boat owner yelling for people to get on board quickly, the passenger boat was about to leave the pier.

An Chuxia and the others hurried to the boat with their bags, Gu Fangmiao felt light on her body, and turned her head to see the bags she was carrying being taken by Runsong.

"Get on the boat, or the boat will leave the shore."

Runsong stopped Gu Fangmiao from taking back the burden with a word, and saw the little girl walking anxiously towards the boat without further words.

Runsong hooked the corners of his slightly thick lips, and followed her to prevent others from crowding the little girl.

Mu Tan glanced at the tall and burly Runsong in surprise, and then a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Turning his head, he looked at An Jinchen carrying a burden, which contained two small stoves, charcoal, and food for the road.

Some of them were dried meat and diced meat made by the girl An Chuxia when she came back some time ago, and she also made powder with fried oats and polished rice before her arrival.

Just say that those are the ingredients to be brought into the examination room.

Mu Tan himself was also carrying two big burdens, seeing An Chuxia walking in front of him, he had no choice but to give up what was in his mind, and followed her onto the passenger ship.

After boarding the ship, An Chuxia and the others originally planned that An Chuxia would share a cabin with Gu Fangmiao, while An Jinchen and Mu Tan would share a cabin.

Now that Runsong came, they had to ask for another room.

Because Runsong lived alone in a room, all the things An Jinchen carried were placed in his place.

Runsong learned that the small stove and some food inside were what An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao were going to bring into the examination room, so he searched for things more carefully and put them away, and the dampness on the boat ruined the food inside.

At noon, An Chuxia and the others bought steamed buns on the boat, and ate with the braised pork they brought.

In the afternoon, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao were in the room, reading books and occasionally discussing what they didn't understand.

A few men stood on the deck blowing the breeze, looking into the distance, undulating with the waves, dotted with white sails indistinctly, no one dared to go in and disturb them.

When traveling by boat, the most indispensable thing is fish.

For dinner, An Jinchen made a pot of rice with the small stove that he brought, and Run Song went to the boat to buy a plate of braised fish and boiled fish.

In addition to these two fish, there is also a plate of wilted green vegetables.

An Chuxia put a piece of boiled fish in her mouth, then squinted her eyes. As expected of the ancient times when gourmet food had not yet developed, an earthy and fishy smell filled the taste buds.

But seeing that everyone was eating naturally, An Chuxia swallowed the fish without changing his face.

Fortunately, although the taste of braised fish is not bad, it is not as strong as boiled fish.

After eating, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao didn't rush back to read, but accompanied by several men, they went to the deck of the ship to digest food.

Appreciate the sunset, the sunset glow reflects the red sky and reflects on the water surface, and it turns red in an instant!

It looks like a blossoming red lotus blooming in the water, rippling in the clear waves, beautiful and dreamy.

Mutan and Runsong looked at each other, and smiled at each other. At this time, it seems that you are looking at the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are looking at you.
