Chapter 259 Departure
Gu Xingnian had done a carriage once, and she didn't have much impression of it. Now when the coachman came to the carriage, he looked left and right, which was very strange.

Gu Qinhan put her up first, then stood sideways, helping Gu Ping'an and his children up.

After the little girl slipped into the carriage, she rolled several times on the blanket, and then lay comfortably in a corner, chattering non-stop.

"It's so spacious inside~ The blanket is so soft..."

Gu Jinnian thought she was noisy, but he didn't want to hurt her, so he sat silently at the farthest place from Gu Xingnian, took out a book from his bag, and read it by the light coming in from the car window.

Chen Qingzhou originally wanted to chat with Gu Xingnian, but it was obvious that Gu Jinnian was reading a book, so he pursed his lips slightly, and finally took out the book to read.

He can't let Aunt Gu's family think that he is a playful person.

The carriage set off quickly. The old lady of the Xie family was old, and Xie Wenci was a filial person. Considering this, he specially asked the coachman to drive slowly.

Naturally, Su Mo followed Xie's family, and besides, he was not in a hurry, so it was good to take a leisurely pace, so that he could enjoy the scenery along the way.

It’s just that the little girl is restless, and she hasn’t left the county yet, when she heard the sound of jingling jingling in the distance, and then the old man’s shout, “Sell~maltose…”

The little girl got hungry right away, she tugged on Su Mo's sleeve and acted coquettishly, "Mother, mother, I want to eat maltose~"

Su Mo was entangled by the little girl, so she let go, and Gu Qinhan set off immediately, "I'll go, I'll go fast, I don't need to stop and wait for the carriage."

Before leaving the city, there were people coming and going on the street, and the carriage was slower than anyone going, so Su Mo agreed immediately.

Gu Qinhan was indeed walking fast. Moreover, the old maltose seller was in front of the carriage. After he bought the maltose, the carriage passed by for a while, and he caught up with him after walking two steps.

Gu Qinhan handed the maltose to Gu Xingnian, "Take it and eat it."

The maltose was packed in a small bamboo can, covered with a layer of oil paper, and tied with a thin hemp rope to fix it.

The old man gave some small bamboo pieces, and Gu Qinhan also gave them to Gu Xingnian.

The little girl's eyes were shining, she first divided the bamboo slices, then untied the hemp rope, opened the oil paper, scraped a little with the small bamboo slices, and put them in her mouth.

Gu Xingnian's fox eyes were bent into crescent moons, "It's so sweet~"

"Mother, uncle, brother, you eat too~"

The little girl blinked, handed out the small bamboo pot, and shared it with everyone.

Su Mo took a sip and felt a little tired, so she stopped eating.

Gu Jinnian didn't like sweets, so he directly refused and continued to read.

Gu Qinhan didn't want it either, not because he didn't like it, but when he bought it, he tasted a little and it was very greasy.

Chen Qingzhou didn't like sweets very much either, but when Gu Xingnian asked, he still ate some.

The maltose was very sweet, and it didn't make him feel tired at all. His face was wrinkled, and after turning his back on Gu Xingnian, he took out the kettle and drank a couple of sips of water before he felt relieved.

Gu Ping'an was different, he stared at Maltose without moving his eyes, and finally puffed out Gu Xingnian's mouth angrily, and hid the small bamboo jar aside.

"Brother, you have eaten a lot, you can't eat any more!"

Gu Pingan smiled "hehe", "I'll take another bite, just a small bite."

Gu Xingnian didn't believe him, "humph" twice, and complained to Su Mo, "Mother~"

Su Mo, who was taking a nap, opened his eyes and looked over. His eyes were light and light, but they gave people a feeling of power without anger.

"Bring it, you are not allowed to eat it."

Eat so much sugar, not afraid of toothache.

Gu Xingnian was stunned, she just didn't want her brother to continue to eat her maltose, not that she didn't have to eat it either.

The little girl was a bit reluctant, but she dared not refuse. Although she was young, she knew in her heart that her mother always said what she said.

Gu Xingnian pouted, handed the small bamboo jar to Su Mo, and then gave Gu Pingan an angry look.

Humph, it's all the big brother's fault!

Gu Pingan avoided Gu Xingnian's eyes with a guilty conscience, aiming at random.

After leaving the city gate, the speed of the carriage will be faster, but not much faster.

It was the first time for them to travel far, and the four children were very curious. Even Gu Jinnian put down his book, opened the curtain of the car window, and watched the scenery along the way with Gu Pingan and the others.

At noon, a group of people had lunch at the post station, and then continued to set off. The coachman estimated the distance, and when it was getting dark, they just arrived at the next post station.

The carriage was swaying, and the children headed back out for the trip, full of energy, and didn't take a nap at noon, but Su Mo was a little tired, squinting and leaning on the carriage, and fell asleep.

With a stern face, Gu Qinhan moved his position silently, approaching Su Mo, and while the children were not paying attention, he quietly stretched out his hand, making Su Mo lean on his shoulder.

He was cautious, holding his breath, and waited for a while, seeing that Su Mo hadn't woken up, and the children didn't notice, so his brows and eyes eased a little.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep, but actually looked at the children in the carriage.

Gu Jinnian was a little thirsty, turned around to drink some water, but found Su Mo leaning on Gu Qinhan at a glance, his face was slightly gloomy, and subconsciously wanted to wake up Su Mo.

But when he looked at Su Mo with his eyes closed, obviously asleep, and Gu Qinhan with his eyes closed, it seemed that they just got together by accident.

He clenched his fists, but he held back in the end. After drinking the water, he looked out of the window again.

Out of sight is pure.

Gu Jinnian was thinking this way, but he didn't know that after he turned around, Gu Qinhan slightly opened his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

According to the original plan, they would arrive at the post station in the evening, but Xie's carriage was not shock-absorbing, Xie's mother was a little overwhelmed, she vomited a few times on the way, this delay, the group was still on the official road in the evening.

Su Mo had already woken up, and when she found herself leaning against Gu Qinhan, she was a little surprised at first, and then a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Gu Qinhan was also sleeping, so she moved away carefully, rubbed her eyes slightly, and then looked aside.

It was a bit dark inside the carriage, the children were tired from playing, and they were all lying down and fell asleep now, Su Mo wanted to lift the curtain of the window to have a look, but felt that the waist and tailbone were very sore.

"hiss!"

Su Mo paused, holding the car body with one hand, and rubbing her waist with the other.

Gu Qinhan didn't fall asleep at all, so he pretended to be woken up and opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"

Su Mo frowned, "I want to see what time it is, but I've been sitting and sleeping for too long, and my waist hurts."

Gu Qinhan looked worried, "Do you want me to rub it for you?"

Su Mo shook her head, "Ask the coachman to see how long it takes to get to the post station. It's not safe to walk at night."

Gu Qinhan was still a little worried, "Then I'll help you lie on your stomach first, so that your waist will feel better, and then I'll ask, how about it?"

Su Mo didn't refuse this time, she nodded in response, then let Gu Qinhan support her, turned around and lay on the blanket.

Gu Qinhan bent over and walked to the front, opened the curtain, and said in a good tone, "You two brothers, how long until we arrive at the station?"

The coachman was staring at the road and didn't turn his head. "The old lady in the front carriage vomited several times. I'm afraid there is still some delay. It may take another hour to arrive at the post."

That is indeed a bit far away, Gu Qinhan frowned slightly, but his attitude towards the coachman remained the same, "Thank you, brother."

Who doesn't like being treated politely, the coachman smiled, and his attitude was a bit respectful, "You are being polite."
