One day at the end of July, as soon as it was dawn, a caravan of chariots and horses left Yancheng and headed south. Gu Ye, who was sitting in the carriage, picked up the fan and fanned the wind a few times, and said irritably: "It's so hot this morning, and you can't let people live?" ”

Gu Ming, who was riding on a horse, didn't feel uncomfortable with the early morning wind, he stretched out his hand to his sister and said, "While the sun is not out now, it may be more comfortable to ride a horse and blow the wind." ”

Gu Ye glanced at him and said, "Who wants to squeeze a horse with you!" Your body is as hot as a furnace, so I don't want to take sin. The full moon, where are my snow clouds? ”

The full moon that followed the carriage on horseback took a few steps to follow, and said with a smile: "Girl, Xueyun is behind the convoy, led by a special person." I'm going to bring it for you. ”

Changing from the carriage to the horse, a gust of morning breeze blew, and it was really comfortable. Gu Ye urged the horse to trot all the way, the breeze blew the ends of her hair, and raised her snow-white dress, as if a holy angel had descended on the world.

"Sister Ye'er!" After walking for a long time, I saw two horses parked on the side of the road. Gu Ye heard the prestige, but saw Jun Qicheng with his little servant, riding on a horse as if waiting for someone.

The horse trotted over, Gu Ye raised a smile and asked, "Brother Cheng, where are you going?" ”

"O capital! Your brother Cheng is going to the capital to take the exam, you little conscienceless, you don't know, right? I don't pay attention to my brother too much! Jun Qicheng let out a long sigh and made a sad expression like a resentful woman.

Gu Ye hung a few black lines on his forehead, endured it, rolled his eyes and said, "I know you're going to take the exam, but isn't that next spring?" ”

"Go early, familiarize yourself with the environment of the capital, visit the famous Confucians in Beijing, and then communicate with the students who arrived in Beijing. Many students will go to the capital in advance, doesn't Sister Ye'er know? Jun Qicheng shook his fan and asked.

Why should I know that I am not the one who took the exam? Gu Ye rolled his eyes again.

Jun Qicheng smiled and confessed: "Okay! Sister Ye'er is going to participate in the pharmacist assessment, how can I, as an elder brother, miss it? Besides, this big medicine meeting is only held once in ten years, and it must be very lively! Naturally, I want to see it too! Sister Ye'er, I'm on the road alone, begging to be taken in! ”

"Humph! Brother Cheng must be worried about Aunt Yan's craftsmanship and came up to eat, right? "Gu Ye still doesn't know him? looks like he is full of poetry and books, and he is polite, but he is actually a big foodie. Every now and then, he runs to his family to eat, and he doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

Jun Qicheng's cheekiness had already been practiced, and he licked his face and said, "It's still Sister Ye'er who understands me." Sister, brother, I haven't eaten breakfast yet? Something like a snack, let's pad your stomach! ”

"On such a hot day, it shouldn't take long for you to go rancid with cooked food. I don't know if there's one that fills my stomach. You wait a while, let Hua Hao ask. "Hungry on the road, only Jun Qicheng can do it. Gu Ye naturally couldn't watch him starving.

After a while, Hua Hao came over with a food box, which contained mung bean soup and a few pieces of shaqima with nuts and raisins: "That's all!" The girl didn't use much this morning, and Aunt Yan was afraid that the girl on the road would be hungry and had nothing to eat, so she got up early to make it! ”

Jun Qicheng listened, but he was embarrassed to snatch his sister's snack and eat it. Gu Ye waved his hand and said, "I didn't eat it, you can eat it!" I don't have a good appetite these days, and eating these sweets will make my stomach sour. If you don't eat it, it will go bad until noon! ”

Jun Qicheng is no longer hypocritical, and eats with relish. Gu Ye saw that he was eating sweetly, and he also ate half a piece of shaqima greedily and drank some mung bean soup.

The sun was gradually rising, and Gu Ye had to get back into the carriage from his horse. At this time, she noticed that there were two more ice basins on the two corners of the carriage by the door, and the cold air was rising out of the room. Gu Ye lay on the pillow covered with a bamboo pillowcase, stretching his arms and legs, feeling that the journey was not as difficult as he imagined.

The carriage that Gu Ye rode in was specially made, and the wheels were rubber inflatable, with special shock absorption. The windows are wide open, and the glass can be pushed and slided, and the ventilation conditions are very good. The carriages are particularly spacious and fully furnished. There are bookshelves where you can relieve boredom, there are hidden compartments for candied fruits, and there are toys such as flying chess and checkers. Gu Ye didn't want to do anything now, spread out his limbs, and lazily closed his eyes to recuperate.

Tang Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to the carriage door, fanned for her, and did not forget to remind her: "Girl, don't sleep too much during the day, the more you sleep, the lazier you are, if you can't sleep at night, you will be even more energetic during the day." ”

"The carriage was so wobbly that it made people want to sleep. Besides, what can you do if you don't sleep in the car? Gu Ye's whole person was lazy, his eyes narrowed, and he didn't want to move.

Tang Xiaoxiao racked his brains and thought about it, pointed to a pharmacopoeia on the bookshelf and said, "The slave only recognized some herbs. If the girl is not uncomfortable, she can teach the slave to read and write. ”

Gu Ye struggled inwardly for a long time before he slowly got up and sat up crookedly. She grabbed a book and taught her about the properties of medicine. Fortunately, Tang Xiaoxiao is not a dull child, otherwise Gu Ye would definitely drop the book without teaching for a while.

taught Tang Xiaoxiao to know ten kinds of herbs and recognized the names of these herbs. Tang Xiaoxiao is very smart and can understand almost everything. She also works hard, not only can she recognize every word, but also requires herself to be able to write. At the age of eight, she looked like she was only five or six years old. The little man, dipped his thin fingers in the water, wrote on the table. Although the words are crooked, more ugly than Gu Ye's, she still has a sense of accomplishment.

I found something to do, and the morning passed quickly. In the middle, the master and apprentice rested for two quarters of an hour, eating fruit and drinking juice. Gu Ye shouted for an iced juice, but was ruthlessly ignored by her maid.

Oops! Full moon, this stinky girl! Who is the master and who is the maid? If you are disobedient, I will sell you to the old cripple sooner or later! Gu Ye whispered hatefully. Tang Xiaoxiao only smiled. She has become accustomed to the way this master and servant get along, and no longer stupidly jumps out to explain for Sister Yueyuan.

Gu Ye held the juice in his hand and stared at the ice basin in the carriage, revealing a sly smile. She secretly put her juice in the ice basin, and raised her index finger at Tang Xiaoxiao to "shhh" and warn her not to tell the truth.

The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high. When she felt that the juice was about to be cold and was about to take it out and drink it, a sinful hand took the iced juice before her, and what was stuffed into her hand was still warm juice. Gu Ye almost smashed the cup in his hand out! This cunning full moon!!

Near noon, the convoy stopped in a county town. Gu Ye heard an unfamiliar voice and introduced himself: "The subordinate is the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Loutong County, please ask Old Man Gu, Miss Gu and the two sons to move to Qingfeng Building for dinner." ”
