"Interacting with people, courtesy and exchange is the long-term way. You are still young, and your future is uncertain, so you can't say that there is still something that needs to be taken care of by Zhang County, and this recipe can just be used as a return gift for borrowing money to buy land last time! "Gui Wudao.

As for the "Senior Brother Xu", his identity is half-revealed, and his background is obviously more noble than that of the royal family, and this recipe may not have weight as a return gift.

It's tensor here, although he borrowed gold before, but then Gui Chongyang also used Nanjing's Zhuangzi to top, which is considered to be paying off the arrears, and now it is appropriate to give a return gift lightly.

Gui Chongyang is only twelve years old, and he has a bit of clarity in his bones, and he only wants to solve things by himself.

If Gui Wu directly said that he would give Fang Zi a gift to Zhang Liang and curry favor with the county order as a shelter, then Gui Chongyang would not respond to anything; But the words "courtesy and exchange" reminded him of the favor he owed.

No matter how they come and go in the future, Gui Chongyang also owes Zhang Liang a favor for buying land before. Even if the Zhuangzi in Nanjing is really more expensive than the low price in Tongzhou, it is still a lump sum.

"Okay, then send it to Tensor!" Gui Chongyang said immediately.

As for tensor using this method, whether it is used to honor the elders in the family, or something else, there is no need for Gui Chongyang to worry about it.

It's just that Gui Wu is a cousin here, and there is nothing like today to say that he will come to the door, and it is not good for Zhang Liang to go there directly.

Gui Chongyang said: "I'm afraid that I will come again on the fifteenth, and when I am twelfth or third, the fifth uncle will help me hand over a post." ”

Gui Wu responded, and the uncle and nephew talked about schoolwork seriously.

Gui Wu took two articles and came out, with the shortcomings circled on them, and there were some suggestions next to them.

This is written by Gui Chongyang, it turned out that Gui Wu was worried that he was delayed in the village school, and the last time we met, I saw that Gui Chongyang left a copy of the homework in the Yuan's school, and then Gui Qiu went back to the town a little, and now it is Mr. Yuan who has commented.

Because Mr. Yuan mentioned it to Gui Chongyang when Barilla opened, Gui Wu was not presumptuous. On the contrary, Gui Chongyang didn't pay attention to it before, if it wasn't for Gui Wu's urging, he wouldn't have really handed it over.

Gui Chongyang took it and looked at it carefully, but put away his contempt for Mr. Yuan.

Everyone has a pair of snobbish eyes, just obvious and invisible.

Because he knew that Mr. Yuan was just a talent who had not been selected, Gui Chongyang had long acquiesced in his heart that he could not teach students as well as the people in the county school, and naturally he could not compare with Wen Hanlin, who had enlightened Gui Chongyang.

Even if Gui Wu returned to the Yuan Family Academy, Gui Chongyang didn't feel that it was the best choice.

In the best school in Sanhe County, it is naturally the county official school, even if you can't be an official school student like Mei Sheng, and spend money to enter the audit like Du Qi, it will be more profitable than outside.

It's just that when Barilla opened, Mr. Yuan came forward to give Gui Wu a long face, which was kind and amiable; In addition, Gui Wu didn't even take the county exam, and he was still born as a child's son-in-law, and he was easy to be despised by his classmates when he entered the county school in vain, so Gui Chongyang didn't say anything about Gui Wu's schooling.

Now I only look at these two articles, and throughout the article, Mr. Yuan has circled only four places, and the comments and suggestions on the side notes are full of blank spaces, including many good suggestions and points.

The Yuan Family School is famous, and this Mr. Yuan is indeed not in vain.

Gui Chongyang was a little embarrassed, and said, "Fifth uncle, is it convenient to bother Mr. Yuan like this?" Why don't you wait for the next time I come over and go with the fifth uncle to thank Mr. Yuan? ”

Although Gui Chongyang is filial piety, he is not a hundred days of filial piety to serve white, so it is okay to go out as a guest.

Gui Wu thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, if you go out of the town after serving, you will always trouble Mr. Yuan." ”

Gui Wu took out the new homework in the school hall again, handed it to Gui Chongyang, and praised it without hesitation: "Look at what Mr. means, I am quite satisfied with your article, saying that it is something to say, and that you have learned solidly." ”

The two essays add up to more than 1,000 words, but some people have never learned and understood it all their lives, and they can't pass the threshold of the college exam.

Mr. Yuan can affirm Gui Chongyang like this, obviously because he thinks that he can give it a try; On the contrary, it is Gui Wu here, in the end, it is delayed, and it is difficult to pick it up again, and there is a little less aura.

Mr. Yuan did not hide these words from Gui Wu, and he also focused on teaching, just for the county examination, the government examination, as for the hospital examination, next year is the year of the township examination, there is no hospital examination, and it will not be until the year after tomorrow. When the time comes, Gui Wu will try, and he will just try, and the rest will depend on luck.

Gui Wu knew this result, and it would be false to say that he was not in a hurry, but he also knew that the road had to be taken step by step, and the meal had to be eaten one bite at a time.

After nearly an hour, Gui Chongyang's new essays were completed, and Gui Qiu brought Li Jiang back.

Li Jiang was carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, and his face was full of excitement.

Gui Qiu also carried large bags and small bags in his hand, mostly all kinds of snacks sold on the dock. As for the bamboo basket that Li Jiang carried in his hand, it contained a few sea fish.

"It's rare that there are fish sold at the dock, so I grabbed a few and came back. The fifth uncle left two tails, and the remaining two tails Chongyang took back. Gui Qiu said.

Gui Wu looked at it and said, "Just leave one tail here, and you can send that tail to your father-in-law." ”

Gui Qiu hesitated: "Is it a rare thing, or is it that the fifth uncle keeps it to honor Master Jiang." ”

Now that he has set up a household and become a big shopkeeper, Gui Qiu has encountered many things, so he has become more and more decent Gui Wu's difficulties over the years, and he also intends to think more about his uncle.

Gui Wudao: "I'll go there with your aunt for dinner, and one fish is enough." ”

These sea fish are not fresh fish, but salted semi-dried fish, each weighing two catties, enough for four or five people to eat.

Gui Qiu smiled "haha" at this time: "Then I'll call the cloves to rub the master's dinner!" ”

In front of them, the uncle and nephew had their own arrangements, and Gui Chongyang didn't say anything nonsense about leaving another fish, because he had to hurry, he didn't stay any longer, and took Li Jiang out of the Gui family's house, went to the town and hitchhizzed back to Mujia Village.

Some of the things that Gui Chongyang brought back were a bag of silk thread and a bag of food that Gui Qiu bought for Mei's aunt and nephew, as well as Gui Chongyang's two-knife paper, and the rest were white sugar cakes for Mei's second grandmother, tea cakes for Mei's second grandfather, a piece of Baotou for Yang's family, and a new quilt for Gui Chun.

In addition to these, there are two packets, which Guiqiu bought for Li Jiang, a pack of sugar pot helmets and a pack of salt-baked broad beans.

Li Jiang is not a food-protecting character, so he gave Gui Chongyang a pot helmet in the car, and also took broad beans for him, while eating, he talked to Gui Chongyang about what he saw and heard at the dock: "The big ship can be high, and the red painting is high, and the second brother Qiu said that it was an official ship, and there were officers and soldiers guarding the wharf, so as not to let the people come forward; When I arrived at the merchant wharf, there were more ships, all of which were ships pulling goods, and the draft was deep! You say it's not unusual, there are also boats to pull cattle, those cattle are seasick, mules and horses, all of them push and carry to get off the boat! ”

Gui Chongyang listened with a smile, Sanhe County is under the jurisdiction of Tongzhou, and the river next to it is nothing else, it is the famous Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is naturally also a big wharf, and it is not uncommon for official ships to be stationed.

Hearing the last sentence, Gui Chongyang couldn't help but be stunned.

Merchants seek profit and sell horses for thousands of miles, naturally because the price of horses in the north has risen.

Not to mention the war horses, they are kept in captivity on their own official pastures; In addition to war horses, what are folk horses used for?

Drawing, logistics, transportation.

Northern expedition!

Gui Chongyang remembered the record of the time of the next Northern Expedition in his father's handbook, at the beginning of next year, there are only three months left before now, and it is not uncommon for the price of mules and horses to rise in the market.

Senior Brother Xu, wait until the end of the year to make an excuse to give a New Year's gift to meet you?

If the troops pass by the entrance this time, can people inquire about the place where the remains of Jiuding in Mujia Village are buried?
