Chapter 1268 (Part 4)
A day later, Gu Zian drove the carriage and took Zhang Wang to the town again.

This time the two brought several times more raw materials than last time, even so, Gu Zian was still a little worried about not enough.

Hong Dou got his wish and went with him, and it's okay to miss a day of class.

Shan Tianzhen originally wanted to go with her, but Gu Changping refused to approve her vacation, so she could only stay and attend classes honestly.

It's not that Gu Changping is unkind, but Shan Tianzhen doesn't care whether he goes or not. In this case, there is really no need to miss a day's class just to go for a run around the town.

The carriage was running on the pipeline, not fast, but not slow either.

Hongdou sat in the carriage, with thick cotton curtains hanging on the windows and doors. Although there was no charcoal basin in the carriage, Hongdou was holding a brass hand stove in his hand.

This hand stove was bought by Gu Changtian, and it was prepared for them to use in winter.

The fine smokeless charcoal is placed in the delicate and compact hand stove, and there is a cotton cover on the outside of the hand stove. It will not make people feel hot when hugged in their arms, but it will feel unusually warm.

Such a hand stove is not only held by Hongdou, Gu Zian and Zhang Wang are also holding one.

After driving for nearly an hour, the carriage arrived in the town.

Because Zhang Wang and Gu Zian had already contacted a regular buyer, they went straight to their destination instead of wandering around the street like headless chickens.

I went to several restaurants in the town first, and like the day before yesterday, each restaurant left two days' supply.

After delivering the restaurant, Gu Zian drove the carriage to a big house in the town.

This house looks simple and grand from the outside, and at first glance, it is not affordable for ordinary people to live in.

Hongdou had been to the town before, but she always went to the lively market, bought something and then left.

This is the first time I have come to a residential area like this.

Looking up along the steps of the bluestone slabs, there is a vermilion gate, with a plaque hanging on the gate, and the two characters "Zhu Mansion" are written on the plaque.

"Brother Xiaoyi, whose family is this? It's really grand!"

It's not that the red beans are rare and strange, but that the house looks magnificent from the gate.

Although Hongdou hadn't seen many real ancient mansions, she had seen quite a few on TV in her previous life, so she could tell at a glance that they were not bad.

Gu Zian drove the carriage, and didn't stop in front of the main entrance. Instead, he walked straight ahead. After walking for a while, he turned into an alley.

At the end of the alley, there is still a door.

"This is the back door of Zhu's mansion. All the purchases in their mansion are done through here." Gu Zian explained to Hongdou, "The old man of Zhu's mansion was born as a Jinshi. He used to be a third-rank official. Now he is at home. Although my son is only average, but one of my grandsons is extremely intelligent, he is already a Juren at a young age, and after Mrs. Zhu recovers, he will definitely take part in the examination, and then he may be one of two Jinshi."

Listening to Gu Zian's explanation, Hong Dou couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Jinshi!
But a very extraordinary person.

No wonder Zhaizi is so grand, it turns out he came from such a background.

Thinking of this, Hongdou couldn't help but look at Gu Zian again.

With Gu Zian's talent, if he took part in the imperial examination, he might be able to get in the top three!
It's a pity he can't go.

"Little brother, have you ever thought about it?"

Hong Dou wanted to ask Gu Zian if he wanted to take the imperial examination, but felt that it was useless to ask, so he didn't continue.
