Chapter 247 Gusu
Su Jiu was also afraid of delaying his time.

She swallowed her words, and said in a warm voice: "The little brother must come back with a good grade in the exam, and I will cleanse you up."

Xiao Tingchen agreed and got into the carriage.

Jing Zhe drove away, the young man looked back from the car window, the little girl in the light pink pipa sleeve jacket skirt was still standing by the long pavilion, waving a small handkerchief vigorously.

He withdrew his gaze, leaned lazily on the guide pillow, "Go to Gusu."

"Come on! Drive!"

The boy began to close his eyes and meditate.

There are countless aristocratic families in Jinling City, among which six are the most valuable:
Xiao, Xie, Xu, Li, Zhou, Zhao.

The six families are married to each other and have a complicated relationship.

As for Chang'an City, the center of power, the situation is more complicated than Jinling.

Among them, the two factions of the North and the South have been separated from each other for a long time, and the power is in flux.

But the current Prime Minister is a member of the northern faction, so the top three admitted in this year's imperial examination must all be northerners.

As a student of Dean Sikong, Xiao Tingchen, the number one student in the southern faction, how could he be admitted?

It is better to go to Suzhou than to spend several months in vain.

Gusu is the center of silk weaving in the south of the Yangtze River. If it can swallow all the weaving workshops in Gusu, why not call it an incomparably rich country by Xiao Tingchen?
What's more, there are beauties in Gusu, and it is also very good to visit the mountains and rivers to enjoy the beauties.

Maybe I can buy a little oiran to go back and play.

Ha ha.

……

Ten Mile Pavilion.

Su Jiu was about to go home in a carriage when sharp whistles came from all around him.

More than a dozen strong men jumped out, surrounded her with big knives, and said fiercely:

"I planted this tree, and I drove this road. If you want to cross this road, leave the road money!"

Shuang Jiang frowned slightly, and immediately protected Su Jiu behind his back.

She was about to draw her sword when the little girl suddenly smiled sweetly and said:
"I haven't seen you for a few days. You didn't work hard in the Cao Gang, but you came here to rob passers-by... Is it because Grandpa Yan is gone? You see, I am so young and easy to fool, so I refuse to work hard in the Cao Gang?"

These bandits are actually members of the Cao Gang!
The strong men were taken aback.

After seeing Su Jiu's face clearly, a dozen people were so frightened that they quickly withdrew their knives.

The leader laughed and said: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! It's a stinky female cousin named Gu Mingyu in Xiao's mansion. Hua Yin asked us to help her tie up a little girl, saying that she was going to be sold to Bantang, Gusu! Brother! They thought about how they could miss out on such a good thing of earning pocket money, so they hurried here! Unexpectedly, the person she wanted to tie up was the boss!"

Someone else yelled: "That female cousin is really ruthless, Bantang is a brothel, and she actually wants to sell the boss to a brothel! It really is the most poisonous woman!"

So full of righteous indignation and righteousness, it seems that the person who just did it is not him.

"Gu Mingyu?"

Su Jiu raised his eyebrows.

She knew that Gu Mingyu hated her, but she didn't know that she hated her so much.

The girl's face was calm, "Gusu is her territory, she sold me there so that she could destroy me. However, since she wants me to go to Gusu, then I'll go there. Whoever sells me in the end , still unknown."

Gu Mingyu has repeatedly harmed her, and she will not let her go again.

The strong men looked at each other.

Su Jiu sent Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang back home, and asked the group of people to take her to Gusu by boat.

They arrived in Gusu at night.

The small bridges in the water alleys, people resting on the river, the blowing wind, with the unique cold and dampness of early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, seems to be gentler than the wind in other places.

Su Jiu had already changed to a light boat and shuttled slowly between the water alleys of the ancient city with blue tiles and white walls.

Houses on both sides of the water have bluestone slabs and bricks in front of their doors, and bluestone steps for washing clothes. The red lanterns hanging under the eaves still contain the festiveness of the first lunar month. However, humming nursery rhymes passed down from generation to generation.

The black-covered boats on the water are crowded together, hawking the new tea lotus root in early spring, and most of them are piled up in mountains of Qiluo silk.

This is the first time Su Jiu has left Jinling City.

She cared nothing, even the road.

The paddlers were two stunned youths. It was their first time in Gusu, and they looked around curiously, not knowing if they had strayed off the road.

As we paddled, the boat crossed the stone arch bridges. There was fog in front of us, making it even more difficult to see the direction clearly.

The dense fog spread on the water surface, Su Jiu could only vaguely see the prosperity on both sides of the bank, row upon row of wooden buildings, with countless red lanterns hanging, women's charming smiles and ethereal pipa sounds one after another, it seems to be the fragrance of fat and powder in Gusu city at the heap.

In the vast white mist, there is a strange fragrance of powder mixed inadvertently.

The two boys who rowed the boat, smelling the fragrance, became more and more dizzy, and finally fell asleep slowly.

The light boat is moored quietly on the water.

Su Jiu held up a lamp and looked around blankly, but he heard a sound coming from the water.

She lay on the side of the low boat, raised the lamp and looked towards the bottom of the water.

A pale woman's face is slowly emerging from the bottom of the water.
