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

Chapter 62 Chapter 62
In the evening, while the others were still on the deck and Mu Tan was changing An Chuxia's dressing, An Jinchen and Gu Fangmiao who came in one after another discovered it.

Under their questioning, An Chuxia told them what happened.

Gu Fangmiao was so shocked that she almost knelt down like her grandmother Gu Shi and thanked the Bodhisattva for blessing Sister An.

Only then did An Jinchen realize that Mutan's claim that he came to the provincial capital to buy medicine was a lie. Through this incident, he also saw a little bit of Mutan's specialness to his sister.

Thinking of the little cabbage he raised with his own hands, and finally having a pig to support him, An Jinchen felt a kind of old father's anger in his heart.

Mu Tan found that An Jinchen had a critical look in his eyes every time he saw him changing An Chuxia's dressing.

Suddenly, after a little bit of understanding, he could only shake his head with a wry smile, but there was a little joy in his heart.

With such an obvious change in An Jinchen, Mu Tan, who has always been cold, must carefully show his best side every time he sees him.

So as not to be vetoed by the elder brother of the person he likes.

An Jinchen's behavior was also frightened, and he mustered up the courage to pursue Runsong, his sweetheart.

He originally felt that he was not good enough for a delicate, cute and talented little girl, but when he thought of the two elders of the little girl's family, the tall and strong Runsong trembled in his heart.

Seeing that a brother like Ah Chen is so picky and difficult to deal with a man who likes his sister.

Not to mention the little girl's grandparents.

The undercurrent among several men was surging, but no one showed it in front of the two little girls.

In the middle of the night, An Chuxia was awakened by a bang of thunder, followed by the sound of raindrops pattering on the cabin window.

No one expected to enjoy it in the evening, a beautiful evening scene, and the passenger ship encountered a violent storm in the middle of the night.

At this time there was a knock on the door, An Chuxia frowned and asked, "Who is it?!"

Standing at the door and also woken up by Jin Jinglei, the three men who were not at ease looked at each other, and it was An Jinchen who asked: "Xia Xia is the elder brother, are you all right?"

An Chuxia just got out of bed, covered the quilt for Gu Fangmiao who was in a daze, touched a piece of clothing, put it on her body, opened the hatch and went out.

"Brother, why are you back?"

An Chuxia was wrapped in clothes and looked at three tall and straight figures standing on the cabin.

"The thunder just now was too loud, I was afraid it would scare you, so I came here to take a look." An Jinchen said.

Runsong didn't see Gu Fangmiao coming out, so he was worried and didn't want to ask.

Although he couldn't see clearly at night, An Chuxia could still vaguely see Runsong looking into the cabin.

Of course she wouldn't think that Runsong had any crooked intentions, such behavior only proved that he was worried about the people inside.

So he said, "Brother, it's okay!
Such thunder did not wake Miaomiao up, how could it scare me! "

After An Chuxia finished speaking, Runsong also seemed to be relieved, and stood there for a while, never looking in again.

When everyone got up in the morning, they saw that the heavy rain was still drifting outside, falling like a bead curtain, circles on the water surface, and dense water patterns swaying.

The sky was dark, and the water was foggy and murky.

The people under the heavy rain were upset, and everyone didn't have the mood to eat breakfast. An Chuxia took out some dried meat and white rice, and cooked a pot of porridge together.

Drinking it warm is also comfortable in the stomach.

As time went on, the rainstorm became heavier and heavier, accompanied by gusts of wind,

The heavy rain made the current turbulent, and even the passenger boat they made was a little unstable, and they didn't travel very far all morning.

In this way, the students who took this boat to rush for the exam felt a little worried.

Even An Jinchen imitated the donkey's circle in the cabin uneasy.

An Chuxia stood at the window of the cabin and looked out. Through the rain curtain, the water was so foggy that she couldn't see the scenery on the shore clearly.

Runsong looked at Gu Fangmiao's almond eyes with worry, and wanted to go to comfort her, but was a little timid, and finally had no choice but to silently guard her side.

Mu Tan was sitting at the table, looking at her softly with her phoenix eyes, and her slender and tall figure standing by the window.

After noon, the heavy rain showed no signs of subsiding.

At this time, the strong and dark-skinned captain of the boat stood beside the helmsman, looking at the complicated waters that were about to pass in front of him. The flood surged and the current was extremely fast, which increased the potential danger.

Therefore, it is easy to cause rollover for passing boats and ferries.

The boss of the boat frowned and sighed. He couldn't make fun of the lives of hundreds of people on this boat.

In the end, the boss of the ship had no choice but to come closer, and docked the ship at the Changsheng Wharf not far from Yongping Mansion.

If he is willing to wait, he can provide meals. If there is something urgent, he will refund the ticket money and let people choose other means of transportation to leave.

The rain outside was so heavy that everyone had no better way to leave for a while, and many people chose to wait and see.

An Chuxia and the others also decided to wait, maybe the rain would stop at night.

Just as everyone expected, the rain did decrease in the afternoon, which somewhat relieved people's anxiety.

Even An Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the rain would stop slowly.

No one expected that at night, the thunder would roll in, the strong wind would break the branches on the shore, and the torrential rain and wind would be overwhelming.

Completely shattered everyone's fantasy.

At this time, even An Chuxia wanted to follow behind her brother, turning around like a donkey pulling a mill.

But seeing Gu Fangmiao holding her hand tightly like a deer, how could she be such a childish behavior as a modern elite woman with a mature and rational heart.

An Chuxia narrowed her charming peach eyes, and calmed down, knowing that at most they would have to leave tomorrow, and they had no time to wait any longer.

Fortunately, when they came, the teacher asked them to bring both umbrellas at home. The tradition of the ancients who love to carry umbrellas on the road is really prescient.

It rained heavily all night, and it still didn't stop in the morning.

On the ninth day of August, they took the township examination. They originally planned to set off on the fifth day and arrive in the evening on the sixth day.

In the seventh and eighth days of the first day, I adjusted and rested, so as to raise my spirits and prepare for the exam.

I didn't expect that there would be heavy rain on the way, which would delay the trip.

If they go by land again now, count the time and hurry up, I'm afraid they don't know if it will be too late.

After dinner in the morning, An Jinchen and Run Song went to the boat boss and explained that they were in a hurry to go to the provincial capital to take the township exam.

The disembarking boss is not calm anymore. After all, the imperial examination is a big event, and he has to refund the boat money to them in a hurry.

Let them hurry to Yongping Mansion to hire a carriage, maybe there is still time.

An Jinchen only charged half of the refunded boat fare, after all, they also traveled half of the journey.

The boat boss saw that An Jinchen and the others were also kind people, and when An Jinchen and Runsong proposed to buy oilcloth bags from them, the boat boss asked the boatman to find them for them without saying a word.
