Chapter 125 Going to Beijing together
In a few months, I saved dozens of muntjac skins and thick rabbit fur, cleaned and dried them with Cai's two and then sent them to the town's sewing leader, and paid half a tael of silver to ask her to sew two thick cloaks.
Cai smiled and said that she was making the best use of what she had, and even the belt meat was used in the mountain goods hunted by the two brothers of Zhigao and the Chen family, and she did not deny it, only she knew it herself, and she consciously prepared it early and consciously from the time she arrived in the town.
When she came back, the cold clothes were ready, and the things to prevent heatstroke when she went to the hottest time were not less, she deliberately went to the pharmacy to buy a few cool medicinal materials, mashed and sewed them into the purse, and sewed more than a dozen of them, which was even counted as Zhou Han's share, and there was also a sun-dried mint leaf that could be eaten at any time. Coming and going for such a long time, I have to prevent headaches and brain fever, and three servings of common medicinal materials are also prepared.
Although Zhou Han's family is there, he doesn't lack anything, but he is afraid that in case, he can only do what he thinks when he returns in spring.
As for the dim sum and fruits, they are all easy to spoil, only the baked jerky can be stored for a longer time, so she ordered a few catties of fresh plum blossom meat from the butcher early, and asked for it in the last few days.
Finally, the most important thing to go out of the house is silver.
No matter how much money the two of them have, she still has to prepare it, and it is always not a bad thing to bring more money. Chungui thought about it, it was not safe to put it in an ordinary baggage, so he simply sewed it directly into the lining of the thick cotton coat of the two, and each person had a silver ticket of two hundred taels.
There were also trivial pieces of silver, scattered dozens of taels and placed them in the baggage.
In the end, in the end, you have to travel lightly, in addition to two sets of cotton clothes and a cloak, there is also a burden for each person. At this point, the degree of food and clothing is all complete.
When Guo Ruyi came to the door again, Chun Guizheng sewed silver tickets into the cotton clothes of the two, and the silver tickets were wrapped in thick waterproof kraft paper, and then stuffed into the inner lining, and the last few stitches were sewn, only to see Guo Ruyi's smiling appearance when he looked up.
"Why are you here?"
Guo Ruyi sat down next to her and said with a smile: "I'm here to thank Sister Yue, not only taught the three cooks, but also solved the problem of sweet potatoes!" ”
Chungui looked at her with disgust, she asked Geng Rong to go to Guo's mansion to report a letter, but she didn't expect Guo Ruyi to come by herself.
"You're busy going to Beijing there, why are you still here for this to happen."
Guo Ruyi took a quilted shirt that had been sewn: "Isn't this leaving, I'm afraid it will be two months before I come back, and I want to come and see Sister Yue." ”
She seemed to think of something, and asked casually: "Eh, speaking of which, how did Qi You and Zhixing go to Beijing?" Did you call a carriage to send it up? ”
Chungui shook his head: "Isn't Zhou Han also here, the three of them should go up together." Zhou Han had his own people to pick him up, and he wanted to come to Zhixing and Qi You along the way.
Guo Ruyi suddenly said: "That's okay, originally I thought that if they chartered a carriage by themselves, it would be better for me to go together, I have a lot of people here, and I also have a care,"
Chungui was stunned, stopped what he was doing, and asked, "Are you going to Beijing by yourself?" ”
Guo Ruyi nodded and shook his head: "It's not me, it's not me, there are several stewards, and my father specially hired a dart master." There are a lot of people in this line. ”
Chungui said helplessly: "Your father is also relieved to ask you to go up by yourself." ”
Guo Ruyi didn't care much: "Although my younger brother is now reading and reading, the whole family knows that he is not the material for business, and in the future, I will probably take care of this family business, or hand it over to a good relative." She started training as a teenager, and she is still used to it.
"That being the case, when they come back, I'll ask, even if you're a girl's family, even if you're protected by a dart master, you still need someone who can discuss things."
Guo Ruyi smiled when she heard her say this: "I originally wanted to help Sister Yue, but now it seems that I am being taken care of again." ”
"If I can go with the Zhou family, I will take advantage!" She is a businessman, and if there is a chaos on the road, she can't resist it, but there is an official family next to her, and when she comes to see the chaos, she is afraid that she won't even have the courage to do so!
Chun Gui also thought of this layer, although the girl's family is capable, but the risks around her cannot but be avoided.
"Sister Yue's cotton clothes made in this summer?" Guo Ruyi only looked at the clothes in his hand at this time, and when he touched the softness, he actually stuffed thick cotton wool.
Chungui smiled and said: "How can I make clothes, ordinary sewing is unsightly." She told Guo Ruyi about her plans.
"Zhixing just sewed this piece and you came, oh, this piece in your hand is Zhixing, touch it to see if you can touch the kraft paper!"
Sewing silver money into clothes is just a poor way for poor families, Guo Ruyi came fresh for a while, touched it according to what Chungui said, and when she touched a flexible piece of paper, it was the kraft paper in her mouth. She was about to raise her head and shout, when suddenly the smile on her face froze for a moment, looking at the dress in her hand, her ears were red little by little, and after a while, half of her face was red.
Chun Gui was waiting for her to speak, folded it neatly after sewing the one in his hand, and then looked up and wanted to take another piece, but saw Guo Ruyi blushing and the whole person was stunned on the stool, and the cotton clothes in her hand were pulled up by her with a small corner.
Spring Return: "...... Miss Guo? ”
"Huh?" Guo Ruyi was startled, and after reacting, he quickly let go of his hand after looking at Shang Chungui suspiciously, and the cotton coat fell to the ground in a daze.
Guo Ruyi panicked, and quickly picked up the clothes: "Sister Yue, I'm ...... I didn't pay attention to ......."
Chun Gui saw that her face was red and white, took the cotton clothes and patted them casually, and asked with concern: "The clothes are not tight, what's wrong with you?" ”
Guo Ruyi's face turned red again, she opened her mouth, and said the reason in the inquiring gaze of Chungui, only to see her reach out and carefully point to the dress: "...... This is Zhixing's close-fitting clothes...... I ......"
I couldn't go on halfway through the talk, but Chungui had already chuckled in my heart, and the unmarried girl took a foreign man's clothes and touched them for a while, which made her a little embarrassed after thinking about it a little.
"Blame me, blame me, you didn't pay attention to this for a while, but it made it difficult for you to do. Don't worry, just if this thing hasn't happened, I'll put my clothes in! Chun Gui apologized and collected clothes, think about it, she didn't care about herself, but she was tired and embarrassed the little girl.
Seeing Chungui's reaction, Guo Ruyi was even more embarrassed: "...... Sister Yue doesn't have to do this, it's me making a big fuss, in fact...... Actually, it's nothing. She hung her head and rubbed her fingers, thinking of the place she had just touched, and she couldn't help but think that if the man was wearing this dress, it would fit just around her waist. Thinking about it, her face became even more ruddy.
It's even more embarrassing to see in the eyes of Chungui, look at what the little girl is stimulated!
"Don't tighten it, don't tighten it, I've already sewn it up, and I should put it in."
The two talked a few more nonsense, but Guo Ruyi somehow was no longer in the state when he came.
"Sister Yue...... It was not too early, so I went back first, and then they ...... If they come back, please ask me about it. She chuckled.
Chun Gui hurriedly replied: "Okay, I'll ask when I come back next time, it's almost over, and I'll be back at the end of this month." "Because I will go to Beijing next month, the county school will also be stopped this month.
Guo Ruyi got a response and turned his head to leave, but suddenly remembered something, took out a silver ticket from his arms and stuffed it into Chungui's hand: "Sister Yue took it, it was said that I would pay the principal, Sister Yue came up with a snack recipe, and you can take the silver to buy sweet potatoes!" After saying that, he left without looking back.
Chungui looked at the silver ticket in his hand in a daze, and then looked at Guo Ruyi, who was in a hurry, and suddenly laughed, this Miss Guo is afraid that she is not a money-scattering boy, but a money-scattering boy who specializes in scattering wealth to her house.
I couldn't return in the spring, so I could only put away the two hundred taels of silver ticket in my hand, and use it as the wages of the villagers in Xiaoliangshan for the first year.
After a few days, the newcomer Liu Ren gradually adapted to the days in the town, although he was mild-mannered, but he favored the good faces of those vassal and elegant young masters. As soon as Chun Gui thought about it, he transferred him and Liu Jiawang, and changed Liu Ren to the second floor to entertain those who wrote poems and paintings, and Liu Jiawang greeted those guests inside and out.
I don't know if I don't change it, but after I changed it, I found that Liu Ren was really suitable for the second floor, because I had also read for a while before, and it was okay to help polish the ink, or to say a few elegant words skillfully, and Liu Jiawang's cleverness was suitable anywhere. That is, it was decided.
The dinner table also went from being able to let go at the beginning, to being able to discuss matters in the shop with each other. With Geng Rong with him, his temperament gradually broadened, and he no longer looked sad when he first came.
Another day, in the county school, Shi Fuzi finished explaining the last matters to be instructed in detail with the students in the same room, and this year's class stopped here.
The day of class should be tomorrow, Qi You cleaned up the table, listened to Zhixing and Zhou Han talking without a match, and sat in front of the window by himself and was silent.
If the township test goes well, there will be a hall test, because of the inconvenience of coming and going, the time that can be postponed can only stay in Kyoto, that is, more than four months, thinking of the spring return, this half a year is getting longer and longer.
From the moment he expressed his intentions, he and Chungui have become closer and closer, which he never dared to think of before, and sure enough, everyone is like this, and when he gets it, he wants more, as if he can't stand even a moment of separation. Thinking of the touch of holding Chungui in his arms that day, Qi You rubbed his fingers, and a little thought became clearer in his heart.
Seeing that he was gradually frowning, Zhou Han had already stopped talking to Zhixing, and called him tentatively: "...... Qi You? ”
Qi You came back to his senses, looked out the window, and suddenly got up: "I've put everything away, I'll go back first." ”
After saying that, he walked to the door.
He had to see her sooner.
Zhou Han hurriedly shouted: "Hey! Classes end tomorrow! ”
But I saw him walking farther and farther, and his steps became more and more urgent.
Zhou Han walked to the door and saw that he had already turned a corner and couldn't see the figure, he was puzzled for a while, and muttered: "Why did you walk so fast!" And not in a hurry! ”
Zhixing sighed helplessly, and lay back on the bed: "Maybe it's really urgent......"
After saying that, my heart was sour, so I simply closed my eyes and went to sleep.
On the other side, Mrs. Li Zheng just stepped into the gate of Liu's house.
