"Okay, what's going on?" Cui Fu squeezed out a little smile and walked forward awkwardly to play the round.

"If it's inconvenient, forget it." Seeing this, Su Duchun said with some disappointment.

Zizhu is her mother's love, Gu Qingzhu treats it almost as if it were her life, and she can't allow others to touch a branch or leaf, and Su Duchun helped her out of the siege in the calligraphy and painting shop, and she has also helped her speak many times today, and she gave back a bamboo that is insignificant in the eyes of others, which is also a reasonable courtesy.

After a while, Gu Qingzhu raised his eyes and said: "This time, it's not a good time to cut bamboo, you go to Gujiaao in autumn, and I'll give you a whole one." ”

"Really? It's just great! Su Duchun turned from worry to joy for a while, and smiled like a child with sugar.

When everyone saw this, they laughed again, and the atmosphere was cheerful and warm.

Only Liang Mancang was a little surprised and whispered: "Qingzhu ......"

"The beauty of a gentleman is just a piece of bamboo, everyone is a friend, since he likes it so much, why should I be stingy?" Gu Qingzhu shook his head and whispered.

At this time, it is the end of spring, the flowers and trees in the garden are flourishing, the nine-song verandah hangs down the purple flower strings, in the small pond of the lotus pond, the lotus leaves have just emerged from the tender green palm, like a group of children crowded and occupied half of the pond, a few golden koi carp leisurely shuttle among them, after the rockery, move to change the scene, the flower window reveals a few fresh plantain and blooming begonias, it is another scene.

A few people stopped and stopped, Mu Jincheng had to comment on each place, and occasionally dragged a few sour words, everyone just wanted to add fun, and did not argue with him, and the joy of visiting the garden washed away the unpleasantness just now.

Leisure time is always easy to pass, seeing that the sun shadow is moving west, Gu Qingzhu and Liang Mancang got up to say goodbye.

"Although Chasing Cloud is a horse on the grassland, it has a gentle temperament and is very spiritual, you must first get acquainted with it, let it recognize you as its master, so that it will be willing to carry you, otherwise, it is no different from a fierce horse. In addition, it should add a spoonful of soybean meal at night, otherwise it will be hungry, and it should be bathed every day. In the end, there was some reluctance, Su Duchun babbled again.

"Don't worry, I'll be okay with it." Liang Mancang smoothed the smooth horsehair of chasing the clouds.

"After the Dragon Boat Festival, brother, you will come directly to report, and the head of the fast catching team will also point to you." Cui Fu patted Liang Mancang's shoulder vigorously.

"This ...... Isn't that not good? "As soon as I came up, I was the head of the team, and others were only afraid of not being convinced.

"Don't worry, it's enough to have three words about the Eagle Battalion, whoever sees you has to obey you." Cui Fu clenched his fist against his chest and said with a smile.

On the other side, Mu Jincheng raised his voice and ordered: "Baoying, go to the car dealer and call a carriage to send them back." ”

"No, no, let's just go back by ourselves." Gu Qingzhu didn't want to cause them trouble, so he hurriedly waved his hand.

"You came with us, and the villagers who cut wood together don't know the situation here, so it's better to take the carriage back quickly to save your family from worrying." Mu Jincheng said seriously.

Gu Qingzhu was at a loss for this person who changed his face faster than turning a book, he was the one who forced her to come, and he was the one who was going to send her back at this time, he was really an inscrutable person.

After a while, Bao Ying drove a carriage, and Gu Liang and the others couldn't refuse, so they had to tie Chaiyun to the back of the car and take the car back.

Since he returned to Nancang County in advance, Mu Jincheng decided to stay at Su Duchun's house for a few days, so as not to be seen by his father, saying that he couldn't endure hardship, and he ran back when he got the news, and he was inevitably reprimanded again.

As for those luggage and belongings in Cuiping Town, leave it to Bao Ying to pack up slowly.

The two wagons were much faster than the slow ox carts, and half an hour later, the three of them had returned to Cuiping Town.

Saying goodbye to Baoying, Liang Mancang led the chasing clouds and went back with Gu Qingzhu, because the entrance of Gujiaao was narrow and steep, Liang Mancang felt distressed about chasing the clouds, so he decided to take the Laojun Mountain Road back.

The two returned to the village together, only to see Gu Shifu who was smoking and other people who went up the mountain to cut wood, sitting in the courtyard of Gu Qingzhu's house together, and Qin took Qingying to look at the mountain road that people in the village often walked on weekdays.

"We're back!" Gu Qingzhu hurriedly walked a few steps, pushed open the courtyard door, and said happily.

"They didn't embarrass you, did they?" Gu Shifu stood up suddenly, clenched the cigarette stick, looked her up and down, and asked nervously.

"It's nothing at all, you see that Brother Mancang has a new bow and a horse!" Gu Qingzhu turned around and pointed, and Liang Mancang, who was carrying a bow on his back, led the horse over.

"What a beautiful horse!" Zheng Changlin, Gu Qingshui and Fang Kui surrounded all of a sudden, exclaiming with envy.

"It's better to have this bow!" Gu Shigen reached out and touched the bow arm, the silky feeling was smoother than the skin of his daughter-in-law in his arms at night.

"What the hell is going on? When you left, you didn't talk so well, did you? Gu Shifu couldn't guess what kind of wonderful encounter these two people had.

"Qingzhu, come on." Liang Mancang was clumsy, he lowered his head and untied his bow, and went to the side with his companions to watch.

Gu Qingzhu told everything that happened in Nancang County, everyone sighed, Gu Shifu heard that Liang Mancang had won the appreciation of Su Duchun and Cui Fu, not only did he do the errand of catching fast, but he was also a leader, and he also sent a bow and a horse, and his heart was suddenly relieved, and he smiled and smoked.

In the afternoon, when the eldest girl saw that Gu Qingzhu had not come back, she picked half a basket of mulberry leaves for her, and when she saw the people in the courtyard at this time, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she walked into the courtyard quickly: "Qingzhu, Brother Mancang, you are back!" ”

The courtyard suddenly became lively, on weekdays, there was not even a cow in the village, the tall chasing clouds looked oily and slippery, and the fur was neat, and the villagers were curious to come and see, some were bold, and even sneaked a little.

Chasing Yun was suddenly taken to a strange place, and surrounded by many people, and his heart was uneasy, and he snorted from time to time, and occasionally scraped off his hind hooves.

"Alright, alright, they've been running around all day, and they're tired, let's all go back." Seeing that nothing had happened, Gu Shifu was calm, knocked the cigarette pot, stuck the cigarette stick on his waist, stood up and took his hand.

"Uh-huh, it's time for dinner." The villagers went back one after another.

Liang Mancang took Chasing Cloud home, only to see that under the wall in the courtyard, there were more than a dozen large and small elm trees neatly stacked, and it was more than enough to build three rooms.

On the second day, the weather turned cloudy, and it seemed that it was going to rain, Gu Qingzhu prepared the bundles that Qingsong was still missing, took a few of his clothes, and planned to go out of the mountain to go to school, while Liang Mancang rushed to buy soybean meal for Chaiyun, and also went out early in the morning, and the two happened to meet.

As soon as I walked a few steps, I heard the big girl calling from behind: "Qingzhu, Brother Mancang, wait for me!" ”

Gu Shifu was busy accumulating fertilizer for the tea garden, the Sun family was at home and the silkworm couldn't leave, and although Gu Qingshan could walk around in the field, he didn't dare to let him do any heavy work, so the matter of buying grain in the town was handed over to Gu Daya.

The clouds and mist in the mountains are churning, a rain is coming, the three of them walked all the way, did not dare to rest, and soon arrived in Cuiping Town, in order to hurry, Qingzhu decided to go to see his brother by himself, and the eldest girl and Liang Mancang went to the grain store to buy grain and soybean meal together, and helped her buy some by the way.

The Yang family was very happy to see Gu Qingzhu, and hurriedly called Liu Yuan over, and Gu Qingzhu respectfully presented the rest of the bundles.

"I heard that this year's spring tea market is sluggish, and you have paid all the money, but you still have money left to buy food? Your grandma isn't a fuel-efficient lamp. Liu Yuan raised his drooping eyelids and asked.

"What Sir said is, but I happened to get some medicinal herbs yesterday, and it will be enough." Gu Qingzhu said with a smile.

"Well, that's good, Qingsong studied the hardest here, and it was not in vain that you worked so hard." Liu Yuan accepted the money and nodded.

"Thank you, sir, do I need to buy some more pen and ink books and so on?" Gu Qingzhu thought about it and asked.

"I saw him copying books at night a few days ago, I'm afraid I also want to save some money, but I'm afraid that he will burn his eyes, you see him, persuade him." Liu Yuan still had students waiting for class, and after saying this, he left in a hurry.

Qingsong hadn't gotten out of school yet, so Gu Qingzhu squatted in the stove to help the Yang family cook, and all she heard was her praise for Qingsong's intelligence and sensibility.

Xu is Liu Yuan told Qing Song that before the others arrived in the dining room, he was the first to rush in, he was a big boy, and he was taller, and he was embarrassed to throw himself into his sister's arms, only to smirk happily when he saw her.

After eating, everyone else was playing and resting, the sister and brother found a secluded place to sit, and Gu Qingzhu took out a purse containing five hundred yuan and handed it to Qingsong.

"Sister, where did you get so much money?" Gu Qingsong touched the bulging purse and asked in surprise.

"Yesterday, Brother Mancang went to Laojun Mountain to cut wood, I followed, and I happened to pick dendrobium and sold it for a large sum of money, not only paid the bundle, but also the surplus." Gu Qingzhu picked up the good news and told his younger brother.

"How dangerous it is, you can't do this next time!" Gu Qingsong's heart tightened, and he said with a tiger face.

"I know, there are special pickers in the mountains, I just got it occasionally, how can there be such an opportunity in the future." Gu Qingzhu patted his brother on the shoulder, and then said, "You use this money to buy books, pens, paper and ink, don't copy books at night, waste your eyes, do you hear?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Qingsong rubbed his purse and replied in a low voice.

The sky became darker and darker, and the sister and brother made a long story short, and after a while, Gu Qingzhu left the school.

The eldest girl couldn't wait to be with Liang Mancang, they bought grain, Liang Mancang invited her to eat pimple soup in the noodle restaurant, and the two waited for Gu Qingzhu while eating.

The cloth shop opposite is newly opened, and the guys are shouting hard in front of the door, buying three feet and getting one foot free, attracting many passers-by to go in to buy, which undoubtedly attracts the attention of the big girl.

Probably the summer grain harvest in the south has been harvested, and the grain price in Cuiping Town is finally cheaper, and the eldest girl still has some surplus after buying grain, and she is thinking about buying some more cloth.

Gu Qingzhu hurried over, and the eldest girl pulled her to visit the cloth shop.

"Qingzhu, this is more cost-effective, four feet of cloth is tailored, enough to make a dress and a pair of shoes." The big girl muttered, she lingered in front of the blue and gray cloth counter, and finally bought the navy blue one.

Gu Qingzhu chose light blue and pink velvet flowers, the green pine has grown taller, and the caftan on his body has been picked up two or three times, this time he plans to make a new one for him, and the little sister is playful in summer and is easy to sweat, so she has to do two more pieces of washing.

The three of them bought their things and walked back, and finally God couldn't hold it anymore, and it began to rain, but fortunately the trees in the mountains grew luxuriantly, and the three of them walked along the road, and the grain was wrapped in oilcloth, although it was a little rainy, but it was not wet.

The dust on the ground was beaten up by the raindrops, and when she stepped on it, a complete footprint appeared, and the big girl followed behind Liang Mancang, looking at those big footprints intently.
