Chapter 117: Arriving in the capital

Fortunately, the heavens are beautiful, Gu Chengyu and they arrived in the capital safely.

"Childe, there is a dock in front, let's get off the boat, we have to rent a carriage, and hurry up to the nearest inn to the Gongyuan to book a room." Mingmo and Mingyan were packing their luggage, they didn't have much luggage, and Gu Chengyu specially asked his father to weave a rattan box according to his wishes, which was more than the furoshiki.

Some important things, Gu Chengyu was stored in the space, and there were only some clothes, shoes, toiletries, and a few jade pendants in the rattan box and baggage. This was bought by Gu Wan and his mother, in order to make accessories for his clothes, Mingmo and they all knew that it was impossible for him to put it in the space.

"Childe! The little one went to see if Sun Gongzi had cleaned up after they. Seeing that the mess was almost cleaned up, Ming Yan proposed to go to Sun Xian and them to have a look, and remind them by the way. That Ye Gongzi has a weak body, and he has to carry a big burden, and when he gets off the boat, they will definitely have to help.

After a while, Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu came to Gu Chengyu's room and discussed which direction to go to find the inn after getting off the boat.

"Seiyu! We haven't been to the capital before, and I've heard that the capital is quite big, can we find the Gongyuan? Although Ye Zhiqiu is no longer seasick, his appetite is still affected, so his face is still a little sallow at the moment, and his body has lost a lot of weight.

"When we get to the wharf, we can rent a carriage, as long as we can afford to pay the silver, they will definitely take us around the capital." Gu Chengyu is not worried about this, although the capital is big, and he has never been here, but there was that kind of guide in his previous life, and he should have it if he wants to come to this ancient world.

"Yes! There are so many of us, are we still afraid that we will lose it? Don't worry, even if you can't find it, then just ask someone. After all, Sun Xian is older, so he is not too worried about this.

"Childe! The boat has arrived at the pier! We've got to get ready! Mingmo had been standing outside the room and looking outside, and when he saw the bow of the ship leaning towards the dock, he hurriedly came to the room and shouted.

"No hurry! There must be a lot of people getting off the boat at this time, let's go down later, save the crowd, and some people are used to taking the sheep by the hand, but don't give money to others! "It's a crowded place like this, and it's crowded, and the thieves are the most likely to frequent. Everyone crowded with each other, and they didn't know when they lost their money.

As soon as Gu Chengyu finished speaking, Ye Zhiqiu immediately covered the place where the silver was hidden on his chest, as if he didn't touch it, and his heart was not steady. Gu Chengyu was quite speechless about such an action, just like that, if the thief didn't steal him, he would feel sorry for himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The dock has arrived! Everyone hurry up and get off the boat, don't crowd, line up. The captain of the boat stood at the edge of the dock and shouted, these people were crowded when they got off the boat, and it was normal for the thin one to be squeezed into the river when he got off the boat.

Gu Chengyu and the others waited for a while, and when they saw that the people in the boat were almost gone, they came back in line.

Stepping on the dock for the first time, Gu Chengyu let out a sigh, half a month of shaking, it feels so good to really step on the ground at this time.

Gu Chengyu noticed that there were many people carrying goods on the dock, and these people were the same as his eldest brother and second brother before, who specialized in giving people anti-bags. However, there are also businessmen and privateers here, and those who have a lot of luggage will also look for these people. They were carrying their bags and shouting and reminding the passers-by.

There are also many carriages, some of which are gorgeous, and they should have come to the dock to pick up people; Others should be more simple and should be more business-oriented.

Gu Chengyu and the others walked to the corner where there were fewer people, and looked at the busy dock in front of them, Sun Xian and the others were a little dazed.

"A few sons! Where is this going? Do you want to rent a carriage? Then a coachman came up to inquire, and he pointed to the carriage tied to the stump behind him, where there were several, but the other coachmen had gone to the side to get their business.

"We're going to find an inn next to the Gongyuan to stay, can you go?" Gu Chengyu saw that the coachman was an old man, and although the carriage he was pointing to was not big, it should be able to squeeze them.

"It turned out to be a talented master, please forgive the little old man's clumsiness. The inn that the master of Xiucai is looking for, not far from the Tribute Courtyard, there are two streets, and the little old man will send you there, and you can see which one you want to live. ”

The old man also knew that there were a lot of students who went to Beijing to take the exam recently, and it did make him a lot of money, but looking at the fact that several of them were not very old, he didn't expect that they were really all talents.

He has seen many people in his life, and he has long practiced the ability to recognize people. Two of them seem to be entourage, and the other three are full of books, so they should all be students rushing to take the exam. Could it be a genius from Jiangnan? That's possible.

It's just that this is so small, it's the first time he's seen it, and he speaks a very orthodox official dialect, without a trace of accent in it.

"That's great, but how much silver does it cost to get from here to the inn?" Sun Xian hurriedly stepped forward to ask, don't talk about silver money at this time, but don't go to the ground and ask for a price, then won't they be regarded as a wronged leader?

"It's not very far from here, just give me a penny."

The old man said, but also a little weak-hearted, in fact, it was usually only thirty Wen, and it was expensive to pull goods and carry people on the wharf, but now it is the autumn season, when will it be slaughtered at this time? Besides, the sky-high asking price, sitting on the ground to pay back, must be cut some, I don't know how much copper plate can be collected!

Besides, these people are not badly dressed, they should be not bad for silver. and he that is short of money cannot afford to sit in a boat.

Gu Chengyu didn't think much about it, although he felt that it was more expensive, but they didn't know the road, and there was a carriage to sit on, which also saved them from taking the wrong road.

Sun Xian frowned, a penny of silver is ridiculously expensive, does it take two or three hours to walk from here to the inn? Otherwise, why do you want a penny?

"Huh? Don't listen to him, pay back a penny, I said old stubborn, you are really black-hearted! People's carriages are sixty coppers, but you want a penny? Are you a stealer? Just thinking about people who have just arrived, they are not familiar with the place, and they bully people, right? ”

At this time, a ten-year-old boy next to him stepped forward, pointed to the coachman and said angrily.

The young man's face was yellow and thin, the coarse cloth clothes on his body were patched twice, and the cloth shoes under his feet were also furious, and the soles of the shoes were ground into a thin piece. On the upper of those two feet, two big toes were exposed, and even the socks inside were torn.

Gu Chengyu estimated that this young man might be doing errands, otherwise the shoes would not have been wasted like this.

"You little baby, you are doing bad things for me again, and people haven't said that you won't bargain, do you need to shave your head and be hot?" The coachman was disturbed by the young man, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"I said you old man, this is trying to deceive us foreigners, isn't it?" Sun Xian saw that the coachman was exposed, and he was also a little angry at this time.

"Alas! Show talent and don't be angry! The old man has added money in the past few days, and he is also well-behaved on weekdays, doesn't he want to earn a few more? That's the way we rule, don't be surprised! Then according to what this baby said, sixty coppers! ”

The coachman saw that Sun Xian put down his face, and he had no choice but to apologize, these people are talented people, and they can't guarantee that they will be the masters in the next month, he can't afford to provoke them! Even if he hasn't taken the exam, he can't afford to show talent.
