Chapter 116: By Boat
"Xiaobao, I'll go see if your mother's food is cooked, you stay here." Father Gu stood up and walked towards the stove room.
"Huh?" Gu Chengyu knew that his father wanted to leave the house to the two of them to say something considerate, but why did he leave him? What does it matter to be in your own home? Sun Xian is a righteous gentleman, what will he do to his second sister?
There was no way, Gu Chengyu had no choice but to sit in a corner of the room with interest, he was already brighter than the night pearl, and it would be bad to sit in the middle again to be an eyesore, right?
"Wan'er, when you are in time, I will go to the capital, this is for you, even if I send it in advance." Sun Xian settled down and took out a hairpin in his arms, which was a gift he gave to Gu Wan.
Hey? Gu Chengyu hurriedly glanced at it, and saw that it was a gold-inlaid emerald hairpin, the hollow carving of the hairpin head was well done, and the hairpin body was not thin, and it looked like it was worth at least more than thirty taels of silver.
Gu Chengyu relieved her heart when she saw this, it seems that Brother Sun is very interested in her second sister, although this hairpin is not expensive, it may be seen that Sun Xian took a lot of effort to pick it, which is very in line with Gu Wan's temperament.
Gu Chengyu remembered his gift, what he prepared for Gu Wan was a set of pearl heads, the pearls were round, the size of a thumbnail, this was made by Gu Chengyu for Gu Wan in Fucheng, and it was also inlaid with a little gemstone, which looked luxurious. The shopkeeper in the shop also begged Gu Chengyu to sell him the remaining pearls, but Gu Chengyu did not sell them, and he was not short of silver.
Gu Chengyu didn't take out the other big pearls, they were waiting for Gu Wan to give them when she got married.
"Thank you, Brother Sun!" Gu Wan glanced at Sun Xian, and then shyly continued.
Sun Xian Gu Wan took the hairpin with a smile on her face.
But then, he looked at Gu Wan worriedly. He didn't know what to do about this township test, he was afraid that if he couldn't pass the exam, the Gu family would dislike him, after all, the Gu family chose him because of his qualifications.
"Wan'er, if I hadn't been admitted to the lifting of people this time, would you still marry me?"
"Fool! What to say? Marriage events have been the orders of parents and matchmakers since ancient times. Since you and I are married, then we are destined to marry. Why do you want so much? Gu Wan glanced at Sun Xian with disgust when she heard this, this fool, why should you ask her this? Isn't she almost a member of the Sun family?
Sun Xian also heard the meaning of the words, and immediately laughed happily.
In Gu Chengyu's opinion, this smile is really silly. Gu Chengyu can't listen to it anymore, no wonder he says that people in love have zero IQs, and they are all married to you, if they don't marry you, who are they going to marry? Ancient women could not easily withdraw from their relatives.
It just so happened that Daddy Gu came in from outside at this time, Gu Chengyu was forcibly fed a handful of dog food, and at this time he sighed that he finally didn't want to be a night pearl.
Sun Xian ate at Gu's house, and didn't stay overnight at Gu's house, he had to go back to help his mother pickle pickles, and the women in the village came to wash the vegetables, but there was a secret recipe for pickling pickles, otherwise how could his mother make them so delicious? So he had to go back to help, not to mention that his mother's health was not good.
A remnant sun spreads in the water, half of the river is sorrowful and half of the river is red. An afterglow spreads on the surface of the river, sparkling in the sunlight. Gu Chengyu was blowing the river breeze, looking at the river surface that was half blue and half red, and was very refreshed.
This was the first time he came to the Dayan Dynasty to take a boat, and he found that he had a seasickness in his previous life, and he did not bring it to this life. It may be that the body has been transformed by the spiritual spring water, or it may be that this body is not seasick in the first place. In short, he has been on the boat for two days and has no symptoms of discomfort.
"Gross!" Before I could finish my emotion, I heard a vomiting sound next to me.
No way, he doesn't get seasick, it doesn't mean that others don't get dizzy either! This vomiting sound came from the side, and this person was Ye Zhiqiu.
"Seiyu! The heart-clearing pill you gave won't be useless, right? Sun Xian looked at Ye Zhiqiu, who couldn't spit out food, only sour water, and asked helplessly.
Ye Zhiqiu hadn't eaten since last night, and by this time, the food in his stomach had already been vomited.
"Of course it's impossible, but Senior Brother Ye has only been serving for a while, there must be a process, right? The panacea isn't so fast! This Qingxin Pill was prepared by Gu Chengyu for himself, he was afraid that he would still be seasick, so in the space, he looked at the books and refined it.
It's just that this is his first experiment, and I don't know if it has succeeded. He didn't get seasick this time, and he couldn't find anyone to try it before, so he was actually empty in his heart!
Ye Zhiqiu started to have symptoms last night, and it was only mild during the day last night and today, and everyone thought that they just needed to rest and rest, but now it is more serious.
Gu Chengyu observed it, the pill had just been taken, and he had to wait for tomorrow to see the reaction, he was still a little confident in his medicine, and it should have an effect.
This time, they were on a large ship that was specially designed to carry passengers, and once the ship started, it would only stop three times on the way, and would stop at three piers to let the people on board go down to replenish supplies.
This trip to the capital, without half a month or even 20 days, the ship will not be able to arrive. Gu Chengyu calculated that if he arrived in the capital smoothly, he should arrive around the tenth day of July. And the autumn festival is in August, and the first time is on the ninth day of August, and there is almost a month to prepare, which should be enough.
Of course, that's when there are no accidents, so what is an accident? That's not for sure. If there is a big wind and waves on the river, the ship will be delayed if it goes against the direction or docks at the pier to avoid the wind, and the former is even life-threatening, then the ship will be sunk.
There are also the most frightening river bandits on the river, although the river is large, you may not be able to meet them. Besides, the stewards of these big ships have generally dealt with these river bandits, but there will be exceptions to everything, right? He is not afraid, with Ming Mo and Ming Yan, it is easy to protect Ye Zhiqiu and Sun Xian, but it is not easy to save a boatload of people.
Just as Gu Chengyu was thinking nonsense, Ye Zhiqiu finally stopped throwing up, and Mingmo and Sun Xian helped Ye Zhiqiu into the room. Gu Chengyu glanced at the sky, it was already dark, and the wind on the river was very cool at night, so it was better to go back to the room early.
The ship was indeed very large, with three floors above, all of which were rooms, and one floor below, which was where the crew lived, and inside was also where the oars were rocked. There is also a smaller boat led by a rope at the back of the big boat, which is the luggage and cargo.
Gu Chengyu entered the second room on the second floor, he and Mingmo were living in one room, the room on the ship was tight, they booked late, and only booked two rooms. Although there are only two rooms, the ship is charged per person. However, fortunately, these two rooms are quite large, but Ye Zhiqiu and Sun Xian feel that they are a little expensive, and they cost eight taels of silver per person!
Gu Chengyu and the others had a meal, and then they rested, the boat was shaky, and it was night, so they couldn't see it clearly, so they could only go to bed early.
The next day, Ye Zhiqiu really got better, Gu Chengyu thought that the medicine was still effective.
