The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 224 Entering Fucheng Again
On the official road from Luoshui City to Fucheng, a convoy of seven or eight mule carts was moving slowly and slowly.

The goods being pulled on the car were all covered with oilcloth. You couldn't see what was being pulled, but from the shape of the oilcloth, you could tell that it was something related to household items.

Yes, this group is exactly the pomegranate group heading to Fucheng. A month has passed, and the Children's Playhouse in Fucheng has been decorated and ready to open.

Pomegranate took the auspicious date for the opening and the 10,000 toys prepared at home, and went to the city to prepare for the opening.

They left the city yesterday afternoon and stayed at Erli Village for one night, and they would set off before dawn today. At this moment, the sun was rising, and those who walked and rested had only traveled about forty miles.

When the sun rose high in the sky, the group found a shady tree to stop to tidy up and eat the dry food they had brought.

Pomegranate took the bamboo tube that Fu Dong brought over, which contained mung bean soup. In this hot weather, a mouthful of mung bean soup was very cold, and her whole body felt cool. Then she took a bite of egg soft pancakes filled with meat floss, tsk. ,Comfortable!
Leng Buding heard a sound of swallowing, and Pomegranate turned her head and looked under the tree ten steps away to her left. Under the tree, Ge You lay a young man wearing a long coarse cloth, looking at her. The cake in her hand?

Seeing that she had discovered it, a trace of embarrassment quickly flashed across the scholar's face, and then he quickly lowered his head and looked at the ground carefully. For those who didn't know, he thought there was something strange there.

Shiliu saw that there was a book box next to the young man. Was he still a scholar?
After thinking about it, he waved Jiang Bing over to give some instructions.

Zhou Xudou felt extremely embarrassed. He had not eaten for two days in a row and had no strength at all. He had barely managed to walk this far yesterday and slept here all night.

He was woken up by the sound of people just now and heard the sound of people eating. He couldn't help but look over. He never thought that he was being stared at. She seemed to be a girl. The other party wouldn't think he was looking at her, right? Don't look at anything inappropriate, don't look at anything inappropriate, it really shames him.

He recited the article silently in his mind to divert his attention, which seemed to make him less hungry.

Suddenly, he smelled the fragrance in his nostrils and saw a pair of cloth shoes in his eyes. Zhou Xudou couldn't help but raise his eyes.

"Master, the dry food made at home is not worth much. Please don't dislike it." Jiang Bing said, passing over the egg pancake wrapped in clean vegetable leaves and a bamboo tube.

Zhou Xudou was stunned and looked over there subconsciously. When the little girl saw him looking, she nodded slightly and looked away.

A gentleman does not eat food that comes to him, but he is too hungry. If he starves to death on this road, how can he talk about the provincial examination?

After a few thoughts, Zhou Xudou stretched out his hand, "I am Zhou Xudou, a native of Rongjiang County. Please thank your girl for me."

Jiang Bing nodded, turned around and went back there.

Just ten steps away, Shiliu could naturally hear Zhou Xudou's words, Rongjiang County? It is also under the jurisdiction of Daming Prefecture. It is still behind Qianping County and borders Jinzhou.

Are you coming all the way to Fucheng to study?
Pomegranate didn't think much, and finished the egg pancake in his hand in two bites. From the corner of his eye, he saw Zhou Xudou over there already eating the pancake, one bite after another, in a voracious manner. It was obvious that he was very hungry.

She looked away, got on the mule carriage, and took a nap against the carriage.

After resting for the hottest period, Lin Jianzhi was still shouting tirelessly. Pomegranate ordered to go down and prepare to continue on the road. Subconsciously looking over there, Zhou Xudou seemed to have rested and was about to pack up his book box and head off.

As the mule cart drove by, Shiliu watched Zhou Xudou carrying a big book box and walking behind him step by step, so he asked Jiang Bing to invite him to get in the car. Anyway, he had already helped him once. Not bad, he was a scholar. , it’s also good to have a good relationship.

Jiang Bing responded and went, and after some excuses, Zhou Xudou finally got on the mule cart pulling the goods.

Lao Zhou, who was driving this car from Zhuangzi, was a good talker. He was bored while traveling, so he struck up a conversation with Zhou Xudou.

The sky in June is like a baby's face, ever-changing. One moment the sun is shining brightly, and the next moment dark clouds are rolling in. Then, huge raindrops are falling, and in an instant they are dense. , the entire sky was hung with a rain curtain.

The rain came so fast that there was no way to escape, and there was no place to hide from the rain. Fortunately, the goods on the mule cart were covered with tarpaulin, so they couldn't get wet. Shiliu asked everyone escorting the cart to get on top of him. This covered mule cart was temporarily sheltered from the rain, but everyone waved their hands and refused. They were all servants, so how could they squeeze into the same cart with the girl.

Shiliu said that they wouldn't listen, so that was all she could do. They gathered together the raincoats and umbrellas prepared in the car and used them in a hurry, so as not to get soaked in the rain.

Zhou Xudou refused to get on the car even though he said nothing, so he embarrassedly gave the book box to Jiang Bing and asked him to help him put it on the mule cart to shelter from the rain.

Fu Dong looked at the big book box and whispered to Shiliu: "Girl, this person seems to be a scholar. He is going to the city to take part in the provincial examination in August."

She could just use a little ear piercing to strengthen her ears. The car Lao Zhou was driving was just two cars behind, and she had been listening to the conversation between the two just now.

Shiliu was surprised when he heard that he was a scholar, and he was really good at reading. Judging from his age, he must be around 20 at most. His clothes looked like he was poor, and he was able to pass the examination to be a scholar. He was very powerful, wasn't he?

"It's only the beginning of June. It's still early to leave home for the exam. Why did he go to the prefecture?" Fu Dong was curious.

When Pomegranate thought about it, she roughly understood why Zhou Xudou was alone this time. It was obviously more convenient to take a boat, but he chose to walk. It seemed that his family was in a tight situation and wanted to save travel expenses, so he relied on walking. Wouldn't he have to leave early? If There were delays on the way, and there was plenty of time.

She thought about how hungry the man looked just now. She probably had finished all the dry food he brought from home and was reluctant to buy food along the way.

It is difficult to produce talents from poor families. No matter when, it is always difficult for poor families to study and take exams.

Not to mention that studying is more expensive these days. Brother Zhang has been in Fan's School for half a year, and he only bought three enlightenment books for three hundred thousand. With the cost of paper, pen and ink, it is enough for an ordinary family for more than half a year. of flowers used.

To be admitted as a scholar, let alone how much money it costs.

The heavy rain came and went quickly. It stopped abruptly in less than two quarters of an hour, leaving no nostalgia at all.

Although it had only rained for less than two-quarters of an hour, the official road was still wet, so it would be more troublesome to move forward. Fortunately, the sun came up again and the sky did not change again. The group hurriedly hurried forward, and finally arrived. We successfully entered the city before the city gate was locked.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Zhou Xudou consciously got off the mule cart and went to say goodbye to Jiang Bing, asking him to bring a message to his girl to express his gratitude. He knew that the master of this industry was that little girl, and men and women were guarded against each other. He It's not good to rush up to people and say thank you and say goodbye, it would be so rude.
