Chapter 15 Ox carts and horse-drawn carts compete for speed

Master Zhao has heard a little about the Gu family.

Although Gu Jinhao fell off the list this time, his talent is good, he is not yet the champion, he is young, he will definitely do something in the future, he looked at Gu Jinxiu who was drinking tea and said: "Gu Gongzi, I heard that Sister Ling is not married, what do you think of my son?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Jinxiu choked on the tea, "cough cough ......" kept coughing, coughing up tears, not long ago I ignored my love, and now I actually want to talk about family affairs, not to mention that the two protagonists of family affairs are there.

It's also scary!

Gu Jinxiu, who eased up, wiped her tears and said euphemistically: "Thank you Master Zhao for your kindness, but I want to live up to Master Zhao's kindness, and my little sister's marriage has been arranged by my mother." ”

After a pause, Gu Jinxiu looked at Zhao Gongzi and said, "Zhao Gongzi is a talent, and he will definitely marry like a flower in the future." ”

"That's a pity, although I can't be a family, I also hope that Gu Gongzi will come and walk around often."

When Master Zhao said those words, he just wanted to test it, and now his son was also reluctant, so he followed their wishes.

Gu Jinxiu smiled and nodded, and then asked Master Zhao to say goodbye.

Master Zhao wanted to keep Gu Jinxiu to stay in the mansion for dinner, but she was in a hurry to solve the matter of renting land.

Seeing this, Master Zhao sent a steward to follow Gu Jinxiu back with the lease deed.

After Gu Jinxiu left, Zhao Gongzi asked, "Dad, why do you want to play the idea of a waterwheel?" ”

Master Zhao looked at the waterwheel diagram in his hand, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Your brother has no foundation in the imperial city now, and this is just the right place to build connections for him." ”

What Master Zhao didn't know was Gu Jinxiu's things, and someone wouldn't let it be snatched away easily.

This thing not only did not make friends for his son, but made his son have to leave the imperial city to serve as a "life talisman" for the county magistrate in a remote place.

Zhao Gongzi disdainfully dealt with the mud legs in his heart, and asked unhappily, "Then why do you want to marry the Gu family?" ”

Master Zhao said with a smile: "The person who can come up with this thing is definitely not a mediocre talent, he will definitely soar one day." ”

In an instant, Zhao Gongzi understood what Master Zhao meant, complained in his heart that Master Zhao was partial, and said in a bad tone: "If you want to help my brother, you can't sacrifice my happiness, anyway, I won't marry a peasant girl to be my wife." ”

With that, he walked away angrily.

His family was also born in a farmer's household, why does this son look down on the farmer's family? Master Zhao sighed slightly.

……

Gu Jinxiu and the housekeeper left the Zhao family and rode to the village of the three surnames in an ox cart.

At this time, the Huang family was also sending Li Mojin away.

Gu Jinxiu and Steward Zhao sat side by side on the ox cart, looking at the send-off scene not far away, seeing the round Old Man Huang nodding to Li Mojin, smiled, and continued to chat with Steward Zhao.

Suddenly, she noticed a gaze, looked around, and Li Mojin's eyes were opposite, the creditor's gaze was too sharp, she couldn't bear it, and turned her head uncomfortably to talk to Steward Zhao, but this gaze was like a knife, so she had to use Steward Zhao's body as a shield, and turned to look at the front of the road again.

Here, Li Yi saw Li Mojin standing on the steps and looked ahead in a daze, and found that it was the poor scholar, shook his head slightly, and then reminded him: "Master, shall we go?" ”

Li Mojin turned his head and glanced at Li Yi coldly, raised his feet and walked towards the carriage.

Li Yi shook his head helplessly, wasn't his master okay just now!

Why are you angry now?

"Let's go," Li Mojin commanded after getting into the car, "overtake the ox cart in front." ”

When he heard this, Li Yi almost threw out the whip that drove the carriage, and he couldn't guess the master's thoughts, so he had to act according to the order.

Then the carriage ran quickly on the village road, and in an instant the dust flew up, leaving a puff of yellow smoke.

It didn't take long for the wagon to overtake the ox cart and then walk at a slow pace ahead.

Billowing dust and smoke, Gu Jinxiu covered her mouth and nose, and said sullenly: "This person looks like a dog, why is he so immoral, hum, it's not a good county order at first glance." ”

Putting on airs!

Hearing this, Li Mojin paused with his hand holding the teacup, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed that nothing had happened, put down the teacup, and read the book.

Li Yi thought that Li Mojin would definitely be angry when he heard this, and he waited for a long time without waiting for the order, and knew in his heart that Li Mojin didn't care about this matter.

It seems that the master is really special to that poor scholar!

And Gu Jinxiu saw that the carriage had been in front, and she had no intention of leaving quickly, the county seat to Huangjia Village and the village with the three surnames were in the shape of a girl, she wouldn't have to eat dust all the way to the fork in the road!

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Jinxiu said: "Uncle, you hurry up the ox cart and overtake the carriage in front!" ”

Before the uncle could reply, Steward Zhao said: "Gu Gongzi, this is not good, this is the carriage of the county order, we should go ahead, we can't do this." ”

Gu Jinxiu was speechless, if this county order had a sense of public morality, she would definitely let him go ahead, the problem was that he made a miasma in front, and they should suffer in the back.

No, she definitely doesn't want that!

"Uncle, you drive the car forward, if the county order is to blame, I'll say it."

The uncle looked at Steward Zhao, wondering what he meant before acting, and Steward Zhao couldn't stand the dust at this time, and agreed to her words when he saw that Gu Jinxiu was willing to take responsibility.

So, the uncle drove the ox cart forward as fast as he could.

Li Yi heard the movement behind him and asked, "Master, the ox cart behind has caught up, should we speed up?" ”

This is unbearable, the corners of Li Mojin's lips are slightly hooked, and he lifted the curtain to take a look, it happened that the ox cart and the carriage were side by side, seeing Gu Jinxiu glaring at him angrily, Li Mojin ordered in the air: "Li Yi overtook them and kept the two carts at about two meters." ”

Li Yi received his order with a headache, and he knew that he would let Li Er come to catch the car.

When Gu Jinxiu heard this, she pulled a smile and patted her ass: "What a coincidence, the county commander is a good official who loves the people, and he will not ......."

Before she could finish her sentence, the carriage swooped past the ox cart and then pulled away almost two meters.

Gu Jinxiu glanced ahead, found that the fork had not yet appeared, looked at the carriage in front of her, and then looked at herself, it wouldn't be long before she would be disgraced and out of the mud!

"Uncle, you also saw that the county order just now didn't blame us, you hurry up and surpass it!"

Steward Zhao also nodded, he really couldn't stand it.

So, there was a strange scene on this village road, the ox cart and the horse-drawn cart were chasing me, and it was not until the fork in the road that the scene ended.

Steward Zhao sighed: "I finally got rid of the carriage in front of me, and if I continue to toss, my bones will have to fall apart." ”

At this time, Gu Jinxiu was already reluctant to speak, she felt that her mouth was full of dust, did this county order have an enmity with herself?

You have to toss people so much!

Li Yi also felt that Li Mojin was tossing people, not only tossing himself, but also others.

Li Yi cautiously asked, "Master, do you have a grudge against that poor-no-Gu Gongzi?" ”

Li Mojin put down the books he hadn't read, and said lightly: "We don't have an enmity, we just want her to impress me a little bit." ”

Li Yi: "......"

The master's idea is so novel, and now the poor scholar will definitely be impressed by you!
