A few days later, early in the morning.

Wu Yueya got up to fetch water to wash, and heard several village women discussing quietly by the well water.

These village women are saying that Wu Yueya, a beautiful girl, has been sensible and diligent in the past few years in the Lu family, and now she has reached the age of thirteen, but she lost her parents when she was a child. Lu Feng, a child who has a good future, can study, and in the future, he will take the test and become a jinshi, and the whole village will follow.

When Wu Yueya heard this, she felt that it was not bad, it seems that this girl was still popular here before, and she was a little cold before, so she should be too careful.

But then some people were not happy, saying that she was a mute, couldn't speak at all, and killed her parents, she was simply a broom star, whoever got her was dead, and when Lu Feng married her, it would be fulfilled, this kind of life is deserved, and she must have done bad things in her previous life.

Wu Yueya took her own wooden basin, put it on the ground, wet the face towel with cold well water, and washed her face, she was not annoyed, she poured the washing water into the chrysanthemum bush next to her door, watching the golden chrysanthemums bloom in this cold autumn morning, she had a general understanding of this place and this village in her heart, and she was just a college student in her previous life, and she didn't do anything bad.

This girl is lonely and helpless after losing her parents, and she is pinning on the Lu family, no wonder Lu Ziji's guy also sent love poems to confess, it's simple.

Wu Yueya felt that she would definitely not be able to marry, although this Lu Feng would be able to do kung fu and literary talent, but she still felt that she couldn't compromise on something.

Thinking like this, the sound of horses' hooves came from the entrance of the village, which attracted Wu Yue's attention. In this era, there are mud roads everywhere, and horses should be the best means of transportation.

Not long after, Wu Yueya saw a man on a horse appear at the door of the Lu family's house diagonally opposite, this man was wearing a brown round-necked suit, a scarf and a hat, and a sword at his waist.

Wu Yueya took a closer look, this is a rich second-generation dress. At this time, Lu Feng went out and greeted him. The man dismounted, chatted with Lu Feng for a few words, the voice was not loud and could not be heard clearly, then took a package from the horse's back, took out a few hu cakes from it, and walked inside with a smile.

Wu Yueya watched them enter the house, hesitating in her heart whether to go over, could that guy be the friend he said? Wu Yueya turned around and went back to the house, took out a few cold cakes from the Lu family last night in her kitchen, sat on the stone in the house, and gnawed slowly.

A short time later, footsteps came from the door.

"Sister Tsukiaya, are you at home?"

This voice was not Lu Ziji's voice, Wu Yueya was puzzled, and then Lu Feng's voice came.

"Can we come in?"

Wu Yueya was speechless, if you want to come in, come in, and say something to a dumb person at the door, so she came to the door with a broken bowl and chewed a cold cake, looking at the two people standing outside the door.

"Sister Yue Aya hasn't seen her for a few days, and she is even more watery." At this time, Gu Renyi, who was next to Lu Feng, slapped his ass and smiled very brightly.

Wu Yueya looked at this good-looking man, and then saw that the Hu cake in the cloth in the other party's arms was steaming, and her nose also smelled the fragrance of sesame seeds, and she directly stretched out her hand, which couldn't be more obvious, and handed over the cake.

Gu Renyi was puzzled, looking at Wu Yueya holding a broken bowl with rice crackers in her arms, stretching out her white palm, and stayed for a moment. It was still Lu Feng who had an arm next to him to push Gu Renyi, Gu Renyi came to his senses, took out a few copper plates from his arms, and put them in Wu Yueya's hand.

Wu Yueya looked at the Hu Cake in Gu Renyi's arms, and as a result, she received five copper plates, and took a closer look at them in front of her, this copper plate is a copper coin, and it is also printed with 'Kaiyuan Tongbao', these four big characters surround a boxy frame. Wu Yueya swallowed the cold cake in her mouth, and she didn't know how to speak well for a while, looking at the five copper coins in her hand, the currency she saw here for the first time, and then looked at Gu Renyi, who was a little confused, walked back to the house without saying a word, sat on the stone and continued to eat the cold cake in her bowl.

Scolding while eating, two stupid hairs, I don't know how to flirt with girls at all!

Lu Ziji and Gu Renyi were standing at the door, they didn't know what was going on with Sister Yue's anger, you look at me, I look at you, they are a little puzzled.

In the end, Lu Feng thought about it in combination with the previous picture and understood, so he spoke, "Sister Yueyan, we sent Hu Biscuits, don't eat cold Biscuits, the hot Hu Biscuits are fragrant and sweet." ”

Wu Yue Aya almost squirted out a mouthful of cake, but after thinking about it, she walked out. At this time, Lu Feng handed over the warm Hu Cake, Wu Yueya hesitated for a moment, took it cheekily, and the two walked back after delivering the cake. Before Lu Feng turned around, he told her to come directly after eating, and he would go into the city to buy some things later.

After Wu Yueya finished eating the Hu cake, she wiped off the oil on her hands, thinking that the taste was still good, and the sesame seeds were so fragrant.

Then he came to Lu's house, and stayed in the village because Lu's mother was inconvenient to walk. Three people and one horse, go to Jingzhou City.

When she came to the city gate, Wu Yueya found that there were really a lot of people coming and going, and there were many people carrying baskets with flat poles, going in and out, which could be regarded as lively.

Entering the city, the flow of people in the city is abundant, but there are no sellers, only some stalls selling Hu cakes and dumplings, and the stall owners are some men with five big and three rough beards.

Lu Feng and Gu Renyi walked and chatted, Wu Yueya followed beside them, looking left and right, except that the house was made of wood, there was not much change, it was still a mud road.

When they came to the Gu family's compound, the two servants standing at the door saw that it was their young master Gu Renyi, and hurriedly came over to lead the horse.

Walking into the Gu family's compound, this courtyard looks atmospheric, there is a garden, which can be regarded as a large family, and when I came to the living room, I didn't see a chair, but I saw a few couches with quilts, and then the servants went to call the head of the Gu family.

Wu Yueya watched Lu Feng and Gu Renyi sitting on their knees, so she took off her shoes and sat down.

After a while, the head of the Gu family, a middle-aged man with a tough complexion, walked in, glanced at Wu Yueya, and then at Gu Renyi and Lu Feng.

Wu Yueya looked towards the door, and a servant with a knife stood at the door, seemingly the bodyguard of the head of the Gu family.

"Father, my son wants to go to the capital." Gu Renyi lowered his head and said humbly, as if he was a little in awe of the man in front of him.

Gu Yi, the head of the Gu family, didn't speak, but just looked at his son directly, his expression was quite majestic.

"Lu Feng and Lu Ziji hope that Gu Gong can give aid, if the kid is famous, he will not forget Gu Gong's great kindness." Lu Feng also bowed his head respectfully and said pleadingly.

Wu Yueya looked at the two of them looking like they were begging for help, and suddenly felt that they were thinking simply, it seemed that if they wanted to go to Beijing to catch the exam, they might have to ask for the consent of the man in front of them who looked a little stereotyped, not just if they wanted to go, they also needed materials and money.

As if sensing that Gu Yi was sweeping his gaze towards him, Wu Yueya pretended to lower her head, waiting for the master to speak.

"Okay, benevolence and righteousness are now weak, it's time for you to go out and see more, Lu Ziji is your friend, you can just make a decision on this matter, Lu Feng doesn't have to beg me." After Gu Yi finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Thank you father, but there is one more thing." Gu Renyi raised his head and said happily.

"What?"

"We went to Beijing, and Sister Yue Aya needed a career as a living guarantee in order to take care of Lu's mother, so I wanted to ask my father to teach her to do the accounts."

"Tian Qing, call someone to get pen and ink!" Gu Yi sat down and called the servants waiting outside the door.

Gu Renyi was overjoyed again when he saw this, today's father seems to be in a better mood, and he must be in a test of Sister Yue Aya with pen and ink.

After a while, several servants carried the desk and set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Gu Yi glanced at Wu Yueya, wrote some arithmetic, and handed the pen and paper to Wu Yueya after writing.

Wu Yueya took the pen and paper, put it on her lap, and browsed carefully, it turned out to be some elementary school questions, and it was finished in two or three clicks.

Gu Yi saw that the other party was writing so fast, he couldn't help but look at him curiously, and saw that the other party could write directly without mental arithmetic, and the font was beautiful, although it was not majestic, but it was also pleasing to the eye.

"Put your name on it again, and let me see it." Gu Yi praised the strange woman in front of him, but in the prime of her life, it was really rare to have such a skill.

Hearing this, Wu Yueya wrote her name again, and handed it back after writing it.

Gu Yi took the paper and looked at the numbers on it, he couldn't find a mistake at all, and the three words of Wu Yue Aya were also clear and beautiful, Gu Yi nodded, sure enough, seeing words is like seeing people, it is really rare.

"How? Father. Gu Renyi saw that his father was a little stunned, so he asked.

"Well, yes, let the shopkeeper take her to Nanfang tomorrow to get to know our store first, and then teach her to do the accounts." After Gu Yi finished speaking, he put down the paper and looked at Gu Renyi, "Renyi, you stay first, I have something to say." ”

"Gu Gong, then I'll be out of company, I'll wait outside with my sister first." Lu Ziji stood up and went out with Wu Yueya.

"Son, this woman is really a talented woman, if you have the heart and marry back as a daughter-in-law in a bright and bright way, I will be happy to be a father, your mother went early, and I don't like to get used to you, but I agree with this!" Gu Yi held Gu Renyi's arm and said earnestly.

"Father, the child understands! It's just that people and Lu Ziji are childhood sweethearts, and I can't get in the way. Gu Renyi knew that his father cared about him, so he couldn't help but burst into tears, and also held his father's arm.

"Do you like her?" Gu Yi asked with a straight face.

"Children like it when they first see it."

"Then you have to give it a go, she is in charge of the accounts in our family, and when she understands that the Gu family has a big business, she can also win it over, if someone makes a promise of life and death with Lu Ziji, we can't do that unrighteous thing." Another point, as a father, I don't mind that people can't speak, but no one is perfect, you must always reflect on yourself! ”

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Yi left the hall with his guard. Gu Renyi thought of his mother, couldn't control his emotions for a while, cried, and now wiped his face clean and walked out of the hall.

"Brother Gu, your face looks like you're crying." Lu Feng looked at the remaining tears on Gu Renyi's face and asked.

"I feel how sad my mother is for her early death!" Gu Renyi did not hide it and said it bluntly.

"Hey, Brother Gu is a person of sincerity and filial piety, I admire people like Brother Gu."

Wu Yueya listened to the conversation between the two and felt that it was no wonder that these two people would become friends. The two talked about the shooting, they talked about it with relish, and Wu Yueya also heard it surprisingly, isn't this just playing polo?

After the two finished speaking, they came to an alley, which was spacious like a square, and it was very lively, where the eldest young master on horseback hit the bamboo ball on the ground with a wooden stick, and the donkey rider followed behind, and there were also onlookers next to him.

Wu Yueya also looked towards the field, couldn't help but laugh, and chased the horse on a donkey, which was faster than riding a donkey. After a while, the ball was hit in the goal, and someone added another goal in front of the goal.

Gu Renyi seemed to like this kind of sport very much, and when he saw that the boy who was riding a horse scored another goal, he applauded repeatedly, and then the boy got off the horse and walked in front of Gu Renyi.

Gu Renyi smiled and clenched his fists, and said, "Brother Cui! ”

"Brother Gu," the boy only hugged his fists at Gu Renyi, glanced at Wu Yueyan with a little curiosity after speaking, and got on the horse again, not caring about Lu Feng who was with Gu Renyi.

Wu Yueya was a little dissatisfied, this guy was a little unpopular. seemed to notice that the other party was a little snub to his friend, so he opened his mouth to explain, "This person is the San Lang of the Cui family, Cui Sheng, who likes to bow down, but he rides a horse, others ride donkeys, and he is always the one who scores more goals, and those who ride donkeys are not only some servants of the Cui family, but also some gangsters on the street." ”

After Gu Renyi finished explaining, he pulled the horse and walked back, "If Sister Yue Aya enters the city in the future, you must pay attention not to get involved with the Cui family, you can endure it as much as possible, they like to stir up trouble, and they have a good relationship with Liu Tingshi, the momentum has been stronger in the past few years, and it is normal for some people to have no one in their eyes." ”

Wu Yueya nodded when she heard this, but she didn't care very much, but Lu Ziji said with a little hatred, "It's just a dog fighting people!" ”

Gu Renyi also nodded with a straight face, "Indeed, many small traders have been bullied by them, I heard that there have been deaths in the Yangtze River waterway, and it seems to be related to them, but because Liu Tingshi suppressed it, the matter is over." ”

Wu Yueya listened to the words of the two and wrote down the matter, especially the deeds of the three sons of the Cui family, which made her feel that the three children of the Cui family were completely the overlords of Jingzhou City, and she felt a little lawless.

Not long after, the three of them came to Nanfang, and it was noon in the middle of the day.

Entering the newly opened Nanfang, the lively atmosphere is blowing in the distance, and the small vendors are placing all kinds of grass shoes on the spot, and some restaurants have also opened. The three of them walked around the workshop, and came to a restaurant called 'Gujialou', only to see the shopkeeper greet him with a smile, and at a glance it was his own young master, and hurriedly called the shopkeeper, arranged a better position, and served tea.

Wu Yueya's stomach was indeed hungry, her legs were tired, she stopped and walked for most of the day, and a morning passed like this, the situation in Jingzhou City has been seen, and the rest is how to mess around.

At present, I have arranged for myself to help become a small accountant, which is not bad. Wu Yueya felt that these two goods were simply her tour guides, and she was lucky to travel to the Tang Dynasty inexplicably.

Wu Yueya rested her head on the table, looked at the tea in the bamboo tube, straightened her waist, took a few sips of the bamboo tube to quench her thirst, and then dipped her fingers and knocked on the table, attracting the attention of the two chattering people, and wrote on the table, "Is there any beef, how about a plate of beef and some wine?" ”

Lu Feng and Gu Renyi looked at the words on the table, although Lu Feng was surprised, he didn't move, but Gu Renyi reached out and wiped off the word beef, and then blocked his mouth with his fingers and shhhhh

Lu Feng looked at Wu Yueya in surprise, a little puzzled, why did he think about eating beef, so he asked in a low voice, "Why does Ah Mei think about eating beef?" ”

Wu Yueya was also puzzled, so she wrote on the table, "Isn't there any beef to eat?" ”

Gu Renyi quietly explained, "Sister Yueya, don't you know? The government has an order that cattle and livestock cannot be slaughtered, let alone beef! ”

Wu Yueya was stunned for a moment, what kind of reason is this, you can't eat beef? When she thought about it, she immediately understood that because the ancient economy was iron plough and ox farming, and the ban on eating beef was to protect her own small peasant economy, so she couldn't eat beef, and she couldn't eat it.

Having come to his senses, he shook his head, smiled awkwardly, and wrote on the table, "I'm kidding." ”

Lu Ziji and Gu Renyi glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that Sister Yue Aya likes to joke so much recently.

After a while, the bowl of white rice that Wu Yueya asked for was finally served. There is a plate of pickles, a bowl of fish, and a bowl of mutton. The two of them had wine to drink, Wu Yueya looked at it, it was rice wine, but she didn't care.

Wu Yueya ate the white rice that she hadn't seen for a long time, and instantly felt much happier.

Gu Renyi bit the bread in his hand and looked at Wu Yueya picking up the rice, "Sister Yueya is such a rare rice, the shopkeeper!" ”

"Hey, young master, do you have any orders?" Although the shopkeeper is five big and three thick, his chubby face is kind, and he runs over diligently, bowing his head and pleasing his ears.

"In the future, do you see it, in the future, this girl will come to our Gu family for dinner, and she will be free of charge! She likes white rice the most, and when she comes, she will cook more white rice, well, this bag of money will be rewarded to you first, this girl's consumption is recorded on my head, if my father asks, he will say that I said it! Gu Renyi put on the posture of a young master, with a clear eye.

The shopkeeper looked at Wu Yueya, secretly remembering her appearance, while being amazed by the girl's appearance, he said yes again and again, he already had a plan in his heart, his own young master was afraid that he had taken a fancy to others, and it was true that people also had this capital.

Wu Yueya picked up the rice, looked at Gu Renyi, and was a little grateful in her heart, but also a little embarrassed, if you come to eat and drink for nothing every day, wouldn't you have to eat this poor shop.

After Wu Yueya finished cooking, she dipped some tea and wrote on the table with her fingers, "This is so embarrassing." ”

Gu Renyi ate the bread and smiled freely, "Sister Yue Aya is polite, in fact, Sister Yue Aya will look better if she is fatter, you say yes, Brother Lu." ”

Lu Ziji took a bite of mutton and swallowed, "Well, in fact, Sister Yue Aya has a hard time with our family, if she can get fat, it will be good." ”

Gu Renyi smiled, "That's right, Sister Yue Aya will often come here to eat in the future, eat a little fatter, haha." ”

After taking a sip of rice wine, Gu Renyi found that Lu Feng's expression was a little depressed, looking at the rich meat on the table, and then looking at the stagnant chopsticks in Lu Ziji's hand, he didn't know what Brother Lu was thinking.

Wu Yueya could see Lu Ziji's knot at a glance, this is that she eats and drinks well here, but her mother is gnawing on cold dumplings at home, and she doesn't feel good in her heart. Sure enough, people from poor backgrounds are different from people from rich backgrounds, the same filial son, Lu Ziji is obviously more filial.

So he picked up the chopsticks, dipped them in some water, and wrote to Gu Renyi on the table, "Can these meats be packed and taken away, and given to Lu A-Niang to taste." ”

Gu Renyi looked at it, patted his head, and immediately understood, and immediately shouted to the shopkeeper, pack a portion of meat, and then patted Lu Feng's shoulder, and comforted him a few words.

Wu Yueya felt that it was okay for her friends to do this, Gu Renyi, this name is not bad, benevolence and righteousness are the foundation. However, she felt that Gu Yi's father was a little old-fashioned, but the Gu Renyi who was educated by this was still a good seedling, at least better than the Cui family that they despised.

At this time, a big man came in at the door, holding a big black box in his hand, looking like he was running the rivers and lakes, and as soon as he came in, he opened his voice, called for good meat and good wine, and threw a string of copper plates to Xiao Er. Xiao Er naturally greeted him with a smile and waited for him.

Wu Yueya didn't care much about it, but the box that the big man put on the table caught her attention, with a big dart written on it, and out of curiosity, she wrote on the table, "Brother Gu, is there anyone in this world who plays a dart game?" ”

Gu Renyi saw that Sister Yue Aya called herself Brother Gu, and his heart was instantly overjoyed, thinking that he used to call Brother Gu Brother Lu, but he was still alive, but now he is called so kindly, it seems that his Huairou strategy is useful, as the so-called taking people with short hands and eating people with soft mouths.

"That's..."Gu Renyi originally wanted to say it loudly, but as soon as the words started, he pressed it down again, "This is the big dart master of Jingzhou City, he is good at martial arts, called Tie Dahu, it is said that one person has blocked a hundred mountain bandits, and the big knife in the box weighs more than a hundred catties. And he has a second sister who is a fierce woman, and he can afford to play a hundred-pound big knife, and they are also famous figures in the rivers and lakes. ”

Wu Yueya nodded, I didn't expect that there would be a dart game in this Tang Dynasty, it seems that it is still a little interesting, there is a chance to follow a teacher, learn some martial arts, and then go to the rivers and lakes.

When Wu Yueya looked again, Tie Dahu had already begun to eat meat in large chunks, gulping wine, holding mutton in one hand and a big wine bowl in the other, she finally saw what it meant to gobble up.

After a while, Wu Yueya saw that the other party had finished eating, picked up the box and left, looking at Lu Feng and Gu Renyi who were still sandwiching meat, and said in her heart that this person who practiced martial arts was rough, different from the two handsome young men in front of him, then again, this Lu Ziji is also a person who practices martial arts, why is it not as rough as others.

Wu Yueya thinks that it is probably because Lu Ziji has read books, after all, people both practice martial arts and read, and they are both literate and martial.

After eating, the three of them walked around the workshop for a long time, bought a horse, and some miscellaneous things, and Gu Renyi paid money to buy a dress for Lu Feng, and also let Wu Yueya pick one by herself.

When she first arrived, Wu Yueya was ridiculed by the women in the store as soon as she entered the store, but fortunately, the shopkeeper came out to resolve the embarrassment. It is also true that Wu Yueya is still wearing the costume of a village girl, a group of linen shirts, and there are several deep and shallow patches.

However, Wu Yueya didn't care about these dazzling clothes, the ancients felt a little uncomfortable wearing their clothes, and they were not as comfortable as their own small black skirt and small uniform.

However, since people paid for it, they didn't buy it white, so they bought a cyan skirt, the fabric was at least much better than the linen cloth on the body, and it was also warmer than the linen skirt.

Soon, the autumn sun reached half the sky, it was close to dusk, Gu Renyi and Lu Feng agreed on the day to leave home, and then stood at the city gate and chatted for a while, and then separated.

Wu Yueya held two packages, Lu Feng led the horse, drenched in the warm autumn sun, and walked on the way back to the village.

Outside the city gates, a fat woman in a brand-new linen dress smiled and talked to a boy shaking a paper fan. Brother Gongzi's face was a little thin, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked like a merry man immersed in Smoke Willow Alley.

This woman is the woman who cares about Wu Yueya in Shili Village, and the one she stammers with is Cui Miao of the Cui family, Cui Erlang.

Cui Erlang stood beside a servant with a knife, this man was short, but very fierce, wearing a veil, staring at Wu Yueyan's weak back with his son-in-law, the meaning was self-evident.
