Chapter 129: Going to Beijing
In the afternoon, Zhixing went to Guo's mansion with a box of jerky, Chungui and Cai's were busy in the kitchen, while Zhou Han and Qi You were talking in the courtyard, this house and the shop in front of it had delivered all the silver taels to Guo Ruyi, and looked at the daily income of the accounts to be stable, and the Zhou family listened to Zhou Han's instructions, and brought a lot of ice this time, and the half-empty ice cellar was also refilled. Many people in the shop are down-to-earth and reliable, and there are Cai's intimate accompaniments of the spring return, a few children are sensible and clever, Xiaobao Zhiyuan is smart, Zhiping is pleasing, and life is always happy.
Not only are Chungui thinking about whether the three of them have missed something, but they are also thinking about whether there is anything in short supply here in Chungui.
Zhou Han thought about it, but there was another matter: "You said that the lady there knows, but will you bring the elders over to inquire about you at the right time?" ”
Qi You pursed his lips and pondered for a moment before shaking his head.
"The imperial examination is ahead, they won't come." He knows how much these elders attach importance to this imperial examination, and it is better than Chungui, even if he wants to rush over at this time, he will definitely hold it back and not ask him to share the slightest heart.
Zhou Han was relieved, and after saying a few words casually, he turned his head and quipped: "Are you planning to come back for a happy event after taking the fame test?" ”
As soon as the words of happy events came out, Qi You rarely turned red in front of people.
"Whether you pass the exam or not, this matter is always the most important."
Zhou Han Yile: "Success!" Then I'll have to prepare a gift earlier! Although he is standing on Sister Chun's side, he is still his friend on the other side, so he has to prepare two gifts. He was happy and pretended to sigh, so it was easy to lose the money he earned in the album!
Speaking of the album, Zhou Han scratched his head, thought about it and opened his mouth.
“…… Speaking of which, you have to be prepared for this trip to Kyoto. ”
I just had the heart to joke, but now I suddenly felt awkward.
Qi You turned his head to look at him, and Zhou Han half-covered his face and gritted his teeth and said.
"That's it...... Alas, didn't my family see me making that album with you, and felt that I had a long face, so I simply talked around, and my father's friends spread it around, and of course I also brought you and Zhixing, and it was probably spread all over Kyoto at this time......"
Zhou Han is on duty in his father's ministry, in charge of the assessment and assignment of official positions, with a solemn face on his face, he can properly be called a strict father, but the picture album is really decent, he is quite proud even if he pulls a face, he always has to mention such a sentence wherever he goes, officialdom friends are always supportive, and the small officials in Kyoto below are limited by the assessment of the officials, there is such an opportunity to slap the horse, of course, you have to rush up to join in the fun, all in all, this matter has spread all over the officialdom.
When the people of the Guo family in Kyoto heard about this, they rushed to get involved again, and publicized that the three people who compiled the album were writing poems on the literati fan earlier, and set off a wave of fan craze again.
The Guo family is making money every day, and Zhou Han and Qi You are famous for their three lives.
That's what happened in the past two months.
Before the scientific expedition, their reputation was once prosperous, and now they are re-written, so you can imagine how many posts they will receive when they arrive in Kyoto.
Zhou Han touched his nose and looked at Qi You tentatively.
Qi You shook his head and said with a light smile: "Do you know why Sister Chun accepted Miss Guo and painted a set of fans every month?" ”
Zhou Han shook his head.
"At the beginning, she did not mention the remuneration after agreeing, but made it clear to Miss Guo that the inscription poem must be made by me and Zhixing."
She knew that this noodle would sell well under the operation of the Guo family, as long as it was sold, one more person would see the poems on this fan, and over time, the names of him and Zhixing would have a place in Kyoto, even if it was only an occasional mention, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no creation.
In this way, after going to Beijing in the future, he and Zhixing will not be ordinary scientific examination students, at least they will not be looked down upon.
Although it was also because the two of them knew that they were fighting for themselves, it was the spring return that led to today's situation.
Since a long time ago, she has consciously planned for them, like a muntjac skin and rabbit fur, accumulating day by day, until one day it will become a thick cloak.
If Zhou Han's words were said by Tong Chungui, presumably the girl would be so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut now.
Zhou Han turned from the farewell just now to silence, and his eyes were full of envy.
The planning of the civilian home is already the top of the sky here, and the spring return really hurts them.
It's just that she is so planned, the two of them have already made up their minds, and Qi You will eventually return to this world.
Near evening, Zhou Han went back with a big bag, and came back after finishing his luggage. Cai and Chungui were already busy with dinner in the kitchen, and several children were also playing in the yard. The shop has been resting earlier and earlier these days, and everyone knows the reason why it is close to the scientific expedition.
After half the table of dinner, Zhixing also came back from outside, his hands empty, and he must have sent things out. Chungui asked if he could bring a word, and after getting a response, he was relieved, and he didn't notice half of his red face. After walking back and forth, he sat on the stone bench in a trance, and even Zhiping ran to tease him without any reaction.
Qi You didn't say a word after reading it thoughtfully, and went to the kitchen to help Chungui work.
Zhixing's face was so red that the family sat together, taking advantage of the darkness of the night to cover it up a little. It wasn't until after eating this meal that the rosiness on his face finally faded, and he yelled that he was sleepy, and Chungui was distressed and asked him to go to sleep after washing, Zhou Han was also tired and panicked this day, so he went with him.
Geng Rong and Liu Ren ran out for a walk, a few small ones were sent to sleep, and the Cai couple also returned to the room, leaving Chun Gui and Qi You as usual.
The two of them were silent, cleaned up the whole table, and sat together in the courtyard in tacit understanding.
Because of hiding from everyone, such moments are also rare, but they are very cherished.
Qi You stretched out his hand to hold her, turned his head to look at her: "Zhou Han and I have checked the front and back of the house today, all of them are good, and I also told Geng Rong and the two, the two of them are taken care of at home, the ice in the ice cellar has also been mended, and the tables and chairs in the front shop are also firm." Miss Guo has only been in Kyoto for more than a month, and she will be able to come back then, although no one dares to make trouble after Chang Fuman, but she must also be careful, I don't have to do it, so I asked Geng Rong to find Miss Guo. After the scientific examination, whether it is good or bad, I will find someone to report back, you don't need to worry, just live as usual. ”
Chungui listened quietly, I don't know when she started, she has gradually shared half of the burden on her body, taking care of the family during the day, and Qi You only listened to his arrangement when he was there, and did nothing.
She listened to him again until the fog rose under the moonlight.
For a long time, until Chun Gui was also a little sleepy, he suddenly heard him whisper:
“…… Thank you, Sister Chun, for waiting for me. ”
The sleepiness that Chun Gui had just dyed dissipated in an instant, and the sweetness that surged up in her heart overshadowed her for a while, and she shook her head slightly: "Thank you too." ”
Qi You opened his mouth: "Thank me for what?" ”
Chungui didn't speak, just turned his head and looked at him quietly.
Thank you...... In just such a short year, she has a place to rely on here.
The two shook hands, although they didn't want to part, they also knew that after this time, they would hold these hands openly in front of people.
A year ago, I didn't dare to think that I would pick up a little pitiful at the beginning of the year, but today I will look like this, and I will go to the scientific examination, and after the scientific examination, I will start a family. After that, she was no longer alone in guarding the past and taking on heavy responsibilities.
Looking back at the way we came, day by day it has accumulated everything we have today, and this person is in it.
Chun Gui suddenly realized that the life in her previous life had become farther and farther away, so that she had no spare time to think about it on weekdays, and her heart and mind in the future were all about this world and the people under this world.
She curled the corners of her lips:
"Going around and around, it's all a gift from God." She raised her eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually dyed her eyes, and it was so bright in the middle of the night that Qi You wanted to reach out and touch it, and in the hazy and trance-like night, he heard her.
"Take the test well, I'll wait for you at home to come back."
In the golden autumn of September, the osmanthus flowers bloomed one after another, and the fragrance in the courtyard spread to the outside of the wall, attracting passers-by to stop and sniff carefully. The new osmanthus in the front shop. The honey tea is fragrant, and I don't know how many guests' noses have been hooked.
Everyone was looking forward to it, thinking about it, and the reluctant parting day gradually arrived.
Early in the morning, Chun Gui personally opened a shop in front of him, one after another of steamed buns made by Cai's own hands, a large pot of baked hot jerky, chilled fruits, milk ice, and dim sum were placed on the counter.
Geng Rong bought the caramel the day before, and all kinds of fruits were also delivered.
Everyone was curious, and many of them had already stepped into the door, and were about to pull Geng Rong over to ask, when they saw Chun Gui come out of the small kitchen again, smiling at them enthusiastically.
Then he stood in a conspicuous place and said aloud to everyone: "Hello everyone, today's three talented men in the family are about to leave for Kyoto to catch the exam, I am here to ask for a good intention, today's dim sum sugar water money is all free, this whole table of dim sum is free for everyone to use!" ”
As soon as these words fell, the people sitting in the house were overjoyed to see the excitement outside the door.
"Yue Niangzi! You're a waster! Let's just say an auspicious word! ”
Chungui said with a smile: "How can I ask for your auspicious words in vain, just this day, thank you for your hard work!" ”
"Ouch, I'm afraid I want to endure such hard work every day!" The person in front of him took a bowl of taro cake by himself as he spoke, and arched his hand at her with a smile: "I wish our three talented masters high school!" At that time, our shop will be amazing! ”
Seeing that there was really no need to spend money today, the outside had already been surrounded one by one, and Geng Rong, Liu Ren, and Liu Jiawang hurriedly went over to entertain them.
This spread ten, ten, hundreds, and soon the town knew that the Liu family set off to Kyoto this morning, whether it was to beg for food or join in the fun, the first sentence after coming here was auspicious.
The spring return is no longer in charge of the excitement in the shop, the cars and horses outside are already waiting, and the Lizheng couple is also arriving.
