Chapter 495 Qiu Yu [Thank you! Goodbye! I owe you 45k more]

in the afternoon,

Yan Sujun and her mother were sitting in the carriage on their way back to the city.

Madam Yan was holding a piece of gold-sprinkled flowered paper in her hand and looking at it carefully.

"Mother, do you know what happened to the sister that Madam Wei mentioned back then?"

The eldest lady of the Yan family glanced at her daughter who was speaking, then continued to look at the flowery paper and said, "That is someone's private matter. How can I ask a question in front of all the ladies and officials of the marquis' mansion?"

Yan Sujun shook her head: "Mother, that's not what I meant. I just said I know."

Listening to my daughter's story,
Madam Yan nodded with a smile on her face: "It's not easy. That lady has finally gotten what she deserves. Life will be better after having a son!"

Yan Sujun: "Yes! Mother is right!"

Madam Yan handed the flowered note to Yan Sujun and said, "These are all places that young girls like. Jiucaomen is not far from our home. You can go there when the time comes."

"Ok!"

"Also, the Wu family has two Jinshi in one family. The father of the young man you are interested in is a senior official in the Ministry of Revenue, and Madam Wu is the wife of a marquis. This family background is quite good!"

Without waiting for Yan Sujun to finish her shy words, Madam Yan continued, "It seems that Madam Wu has a very close relationship with the two marquis' wives!"

As he said this, he patted his daughter's hand, feeling somewhat relieved and also somewhat reluctant.

Quyuan Street is still bustling.

Chu Zhan had a towel draped over his shoulders, helping out at Shu Bo's stall under the tarpaulin. In between wiping the table and serving the dishes, he would occasionally glance towards the street entrance.

"What did you hide in your arms when you came out of the mansion? It was so bulging?"

Listening to Shuber's words,
Chu Zhan patted his clothes and shook his head: "Shu Bo, it's nothing, nothing!"

When I saw carriages turning into Quyuan Street,
Chu Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Half an hour later,

Yong Yi Hou Mansion,

Xu Zaijing was strolling slowly in the distance with his two pregnant horses.

Next to the wooden house beside the racecourse,
Chu Zhan stared at a light chestnut horse with silver mane.

At this time, the new horse was having its hooves pulled and horseshoes nailed on by Xunshu.

Chu Zhan said:

"Brother Xunshu, you, you be gentle!"

Xun Shu, who was working with a small hammer in his hand, raised his head depressedly and looked at Chu Zhan who was talking at the side: "How about you come?"

Chu Zhan smiled embarrassedly and waved his hands: "Brother Xunshu, come here, come here!"

Qingyun, who was standing nearby, patted Chu Zhan on the shoulder and said, "How about this horse?"

“Hehe, it’s really beautiful!”

Alan, who was sitting on a small stool nearby and assembling the leather straps into a bridle, raised his head and said, "If I didn't know, I would have thought you were praising your wife."

"Hehe, on the battlefield, she is not only my wife, but also my comrade."

Chu Zhan looked at the horse with love.

Hearing this,

Everyone around the cabin started laughing.

"Boy, go on!"

Yin Bo came out of the wooden house and threw over a horse comb for brushing the horse's hair.

Chu Zhan took it with both hands and bowed, then walked carefully to the horse's side and gently combed it:

"If you comb your hair thoroughly, you won't have to worry about life."

"If you comb your hair with two combs, you will be free from disease and worry."

"Three combs."

I just said two sentences,

Chu Zhan felt his head dizzy.

Qingyun, who was standing at the back, looked at Chu Zhan with a helpless look and said, "Where did you learn these words? How can you say them so casually at this time? Be careful or you may not be able to find a wife in the future!"

Chu Zhan quickly closed his mouth, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed for a few words.

Then, Chu Zhan continued to comb the horse's fur.

Perhaps because it was enjoying the service, the newly bought horse rubbed Chu Zhan affectionately with its head.

After spending a long time with Yin Bo, Alan and others, Chu Zhan, who knew the nature of horses, smiled from ear to ear.

He hurriedly took out a apple from his bulging arms and put it close to the horse's mouth.

"Sniff. Snap."

The horse ate happily.

"Slow down, slow down, more!"

Seeing the horse like it, Chu Zhan said happily.

At this time,

Alan stood up from the side.

After walking to Chu Zhan's side, he untied the original reins and put the leather belt bridle in his hand on the horse.

The horse was busy eating the fruit and didn't react much to Alan's actions.

After adjusting the bridle button, Alan looked at the horse with the bridle on and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, it looks pretty good."

Xunshu, who was busy nailing horseshoes, also finished his work and walked towards the wooden house nearby.

Soon he came out carrying a saddle in one hand and a sack full of corn in the other.

"Chu Zhan, go get another bag."

"Ugh!"

Chu Zhan hurriedly ran into the wooden house and came out with another bag with some difficulty.

Secure the saddle.

Alan tied two bags of corn together and placed them on the back of the light chestnut horse with silver mane.

Chu Zhan, who was standing aside, saw that the silver-maned horse did not show any reaction, and his eyes became brighter.

"Brother Alan, did you scold it when you picked it?"

Alan smiled and led the horse to the racecourse by the reins.

Qingyun, standing next to the wooden house, was about to prepare to ride his own horse to prevent any accidents from happening to the new horse.

Yin Bo, who was sitting on the chair, waved his hand and said, "No need to go. I see that the horse can be ridden today."

Hearing this,

Chu Zhan hurried forward: "Brother Alan, let me try it."

Alan pulled down the two bags of corn, and seeing that the silver-maned horse still had no reaction, he handed the reins to Chu Zhan.

"Beep beep beep"

The sound of horse hooves came,
In the racecourse,

Xu Zaijing smiled as he watched Chu Zhan riding his horse around the racecourse.

As he passed by, Xu Zaijing shouted, "Faster!"

"what!"

Chu Zhan on horseback shouted softly.

The horse ran faster and faster.

the next day,
At the hour of Yin,

It was dark.

"Click~"

The door to the courtyard was opened from the inside.

Xu Zaijing came out of the house wearing a cloak, stretching lazily while looking at the starless sky. Xu Zaijing said:

"It's cloudy."

Qingcao, who was holding a lantern behind her, nodded. Noticing that Xu Zaijing couldn't see her movements, Qingcao hurriedly said, "Yes, sir. I smell that it seems to be about to rain."

Taking a deep breath of the morning air, Xu Zaijing nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go!"

Across the aisle,

When we arrived at the racecourse,
The footsteps made the birds in the nearby falconry a little restless.

Lanterns were already lit in the stables.

I don’t know if it was Alan or Xunshu who was feeding the horses.

Entering the master's wooden house,

Took off the cloak,

Qingcao was waiting in the wooden house, and Xu Zaijing walked outside.

In the light of the lantern at the door of the wooden house, Xu Zaijing saw Qingyun with a smile on his face as he prepared the horse.

"what happened?"

"Sir, Chu Zhan didn't go home last night. He stayed in the stable with his new horse until midnight."

Hearing this, Xu Zaijing also laughed: "This kid! Fortunately, there are no mosquitoes at this time, otherwise he would be in trouble."

Qingyun smiled and nodded: "I heard from my uncle that he kept Alan and Xunshu awake last night." Xu Zaijing asked in confusion: "He was just sleeping in the stable, so why did Alan and the others not sleep?"

Qingyun shook his head helplessly and said, "I heard from Alan that Chu Zhan felt that his horse's mane was too messy last night, and he insisted on having his horse's mane trimmed."

"Isn't that fast?"

"That's true, sir. But then Chu Zhan was busy braiding the mane."

After Qingyun finished speaking, Xu Zaijing also laughed: "This is really ridiculous."

"It can be seen that Chu Zhan really likes it."

Xu Zaijing nodded.

Afterwards, Qingyun and Xu Zaijing put armor on each other and started today's training.

After breakfast,
Xu Zaijing went to Sheng's house in a carriage.

Because it's cloudy,

When Xu Zaijing arrived at Sheng's house,
At the beginning, you have to light a candle to read.

When Zhuang Xuejiao came to the school,

The sky is still covered with dark clouds.

The sky is dark,

After waiting for more than an hour in class, it was time for everyone to take a break.

Xu Zaijing and Changbai were going to take a walk in the yard.

As a result, just after leaving school,
An autumn breeze blew by.
The wind blew up Seo Jae-jeong's hairband.
Then, Xu Zaijing felt a chill on his forehead.
A chilly autumn rain began to fall.

Looking at Xu Zaijing and Changbai who were walking back,
Gu Tingye was about to speak.
Zhuang Xuejiao, who was sitting at the front, tapped the table with his folding fan and said, "Let's be quiet now! Watch the rain!"

"Yes, pedant!"

Then, everyone turned sideways and looked at the yard quietly.

"tattoo"

This is the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves.

"Wow~"

The still lush leaves were rustling in the autumn wind, blending with the sound of the rain.

"Deng Deng"

The rainwater gathered on the roof and dripped onto the wooden steps in front of the school.

After a while of silence in the classroom, the scholar said, "You should know that this kind of weather is a beautiful sight for us, but it is a bad thing for those who don't have autumn fir trees or a place to shelter from the rain."

"You are all successful candidates now, and you will surely become officials in the future, but please remember what I said at this moment, be more considerate of the hardships of the people's livelihood, and do more things to benefit the people."

Changbai, Xu Zaijing and others hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying in unison: "Yes, scholar! Students will remember this."

see this scene,

The servants and maids on the wooden platform at the back also hurriedly stood up.

Zhuang Xuejiao held the paper fan and nodded: "Everyone, please sit down!"

After Qingcao sat down, he looked at the rain scene outside the school and sighed slightly in his heart.

At this time, Qiu Niang, who was sitting next to her, came over and whispered to Qingcao, "Sister Qingcao, do you know what I did just now?"

Qingcao shook his head: "I don't know, I just saw that after the young master called him over, he went out."

Qiu Niang nodded.

When the two separated, the sound of raindrops hitting an oil-paper umbrella could be heard in the yard.

After a while

Buwei's figure appeared in everyone's sight. He was holding an oil-paper umbrella and holding something wrapped in a quilt.

Seeing Buwei, Qi Heng smiled.

quickly,

Buwei walked to the door, put the oil-paper umbrella on the side of the corridor, entered the school with his things and stood there.

Qi Heng stood up, bowed to Zhuang Xuejiu and said, "Xuejiu, this is a new fruit (cake) shop that has recently opened in Beijing. It specializes in making honey-floating pastry!"

"I remember that you all like to eat this! After I learned about this, I specially ordered a box from this store. I would like you and all of you to taste it and see if it tastes the same as what we ate last time!"

Not because I was standing close to Zhuang Xuejiu,
At this time, a faint fragrance was already spreading.

Zhuang Xuejiao swallowed his saliva secretly, nodded and said, "Young Master is thoughtful!"

Hearing this,

Qi Heng bowed again and gave Buwei a wink.

Subsequently,

Qingcao and others who were sitting on the wooden platform at the back hurried forward to help Buwei distribute food.

Others are fine.
After hearing Qi Heng's words, Gu Tingye's expression became a little abnormal. He kept stretching his neck, as if he was adjusting his state.

Near the door side,
Molan and Rulan looked at the snacks in front of them, smiled, stood up and bowed to Qi Heng, saying, "Thank you, Brother Yuanruo."

Minglan also stood up: "Thank you, young master."

Qi Heng smiled and nodded to Molan and Rulan. When he heard Minglan's voice, he also nodded.

Molan has already sat down.

Rulan stood and turned back to say to Minglan, "Sixth sister, Brother Yuanruo's courtesy name was bestowed by the emperor himself, so just call him by his courtesy name."

Minglan glanced at Qi Heng who nodded, shook her head and sat down.

At this time,

Qiu Niang also placed the honey-floating pear flower in front of Gu Tingye.
Gu Tingye picked up the porcelain plate with snacks and turned around to put it on Xu Zaijing's table.

"Second Brother Gu, you don't want to eat?"

Chang Feng, who was licking his lips, saw this and asked.

Gu Tingye nodded with a somewhat uncomfortable look on his face, and said: "Wulang, you and Fengge'er can eat! I, um!"

Xu Zaijing looked at Gu Tingye curiously, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Erlang, I heard that Tingyi and the girl from the Chai family opened a shop together. Are you injured?"

When Gu Tingye heard Xu Zaijing's words and smelled the fragrance in the air, he swallowed hard and suppressed his churning stomach.

Looking up at Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye said in surprise: "Wulang, how did you know?"

"Guess!"

As he spoke, Xu Zaijing handed the extra plate to Chang Feng.

"Thank you, Brother Xu Wu."

Chang Feng took it and shouted with a smile.

After Xu Zaijing divided his snack into two halves, he waved towards Qingcao.

"Put the other half in the teacup and you can eat."

After saying that, he handed the plate over.

Qingcao hurriedly took it and put the snack into the teacup.

Xu Zaijing continued to ask Gu Tingye: "Which street is the store located on?"

Gu Tingye thought for a moment and said, "West of Huihefang in the inner city, on Jiucaomen Street."

Mo Lan, who was sitting on the other side, nodded after hearing this and said, "Sister Tingyi really knows how to choose a place! On that Old Caomen Street, there are often girls from official families who go there to have fun and drink tea from morning till night!"

"The most famous one seems to be called Beishan Tea House. If we open a fruit shop there, it will surely do a booming business and make a fortune!"

Gu Tingye smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Then I'll borrow Fourth Sister's good words."

When several people were talking,
Qingcao had divided the snacks on the plate into several portions and shared them with Xique, Xiaotao, Luzhong and other maids sitting in the back.

After Xu Zaijing finished the snack in one gulp, he handed the plate to Qingcao and saw Xiaotao tasting the pastries with a look of disbelief on her face, and her eyes were wide open with an urge to lick the plate.

Xu Zaijing put away his smile, his eyes thoughtful.

in the afternoon,

Old Caomen Street,

Although it is raining in autumn,

But there are still pedestrians coming and going on the street, holding oil-paper umbrellas, wearing straw hats and capes.

Street side,

Several fine carriages parked there had been soaked, turned a dark color, and were dripping with rain.

The carriage was not far away.
On a wooden building with a sign saying "Beishan Teahouse"
second floor,

On the table were various kinds of delicious food that exuded a fragrant aroma.

Chai Zhengzheng held the warm teacup in his hand, frowned and looked at Gu Tingyi, and said: "Sister Tingyi, are you saying that those two lines of poetry were not written by Second Brother Gu?"

"Yeah! My brother is extorting Brother Jing's work."

Rong Feiyan's eyes flickered as she asked, "So, are there no follow-ups to these two sentences?"

Gu Tingyi nodded helplessly: "Brother Jing only said a few words."

Li Jia Wu Niang and the other girls beside her, such as Hai Chaoyun and Yan Sujun, looked at each other and said regretfully, "What a pity!"

At this time,

The maid Zi Teng walked up to Chai Zhengzheng and whispered, "Miss, someone just saw the Xu family's maid Qingcao coming over in a carriage."

Chai Zhengzheng tilted his head and whispered, "Please come over. No, I'll go down."
