Chapter 31: Mutual

Gu Yanzhang couldn't cry or laugh, seeing that the weather was very good, he simply didn't have much to do in the past two days, and he didn't want to sweep Ji Qingling's interest, the two had lunch and went out.

Seeing that summer is about to begin, the weather is getting hotter, and there are many vendors on the road, Gu Yanzhang saw interesting things, so he had to buy a few things for Ji Qingling, which were all small things that didn't cost much. But I don't want the other party to get it, as if I have a treasure, all wrapped in a handkerchief, and carefully put it away.

The things sent out were cherished, Gu Yanzhang ironed in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel distressed: "It's for you to play, buy it if it's broken." ”

Ji Qingling pursed her lips and didn't speak, pretending not to hear anything.

The two of them came to this Jixian County, except for the silver taels obtained by the jade pendant, and Gu Yanzhang took some books to copy before, and exchanged less than two yuan, and the rest of the time, they were in and out. Last time, Ji Qingling copied a few books, took four copies of "Records of Sleepy Learning" and went to the bookstore to pawn it, who knew that it was taken away by Mr. Qian Mai of Qingming Academy, and then there was no follow-up.

A while ago, a teacher surnamed Hong from Qingming Academy came to his home and said that the four books were genuine, and he had to report them to the imperial court, waiting for a big reward. Ji Qingling only planned to change the money for the meal, who wanted to imitate it too much, he only wanted to change it for a small fish and shrimp, but now he was swallowed by the king, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad for a while.

If Gu Yanzhang had already entered the government at this time and became famous, it would not matter if these books were donated to gain fame, but at this time, he was just a yellow-mouthed child, and it was really harmful and useless to be in such a limelight.

You must know that Gu Yanzhang used to be famous for his articles, if because of his mess, he became a person who "used a few ancient books to change his name to enter Qingming Academy", then who would she talk to.

Because of this, Ji Qingling had already regarded those volumes of "Records of Sleepy Learning" as a waste, and only planned to prevaricate in the future.

With this follow-up, naturally the way to get quick money didn't work, so she could only honestly copy books at home for money.

Besides, this Gu Yanzhang is not easy to raise. He spends a lot of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on weekdays. Not only that, but since he was a child, he practiced martial arts, even on the way to escape, and did not stop, and after being settled in Jixian County, he got up early every morning to go to the empty and uninhabited place, or squatting on a horse, or practicing boxing.

Gu Zhai didn't have that kind of spare money now, so he simply didn't pull the bow and arrows, and made a bow out of the trunk of the tree outside, and didn't want arrows, but only used this to train his arm strength and accurate head. Ji Qingling occasionally followed once or twice, and was taken aback by his vigorous fist style.

Chatting on weekdays, Gu Yanzhang talked about practicing martial arts when he was a child, and sighed jokingly, he was very good at riding and archery at the beginning, but now he hasn't even ridden a horse for a long time. He also said that an old martial artist had taught him a set of whip techniques, which was very powerful, but unfortunately there was no whip now, so he could only pinch the whip trick, and he was afraid that after a long time, he would forget the feeling cleanly.

Gu Yanzhang just said it casually, but Ji Qingling heard it in his ears and remembered it in his heart. She thought that the other party would have a birthday next month, so she saved money early, and often followed Qiuyue out to inquire about a few stalls, wanting to give some hearty birthday gifts.

If you want to save money, you naturally have to save many expenses on weekdays. Gu Yanzhang has to study again, and he has to practice martial arts, and he is the age of growing his body, as the saying goes, half a child, eat a poor man, he is now at the stage where he can stuff anything into his stomach, and Ji Qingling himself is not willing to eat generals, naturally this one cannot be saved.

You can't save food, you can't save it, you can't save it, you can't save money, Ji Qingling had to pick up the pen again, and copy the book, fortunately, her handwriting is very beautiful, and the price of copying books is three points higher than others.

The two of them knew about the current situation at home, so they wanted to save on themselves, but they couldn't help but buy things for each other.

Ji Qingling thought that he would return to Yanzhou in a few years, although he didn't know how much money Gu Yanzhang's family property could replace, at least it would be no problem to enter Yanzhou Prefecture to study, when he had a literary name, he would naturally have a state to raise, and many people would come to ask for literature and words, wouldn't it be better than earning hard money now. Now the money on hand is enough, but I am afraid that I will come to the capital in the future, and I will not settle down for a while, and I have no money in my hand, so I will panic.

She was worried about the future, so she locked up the money in hand, and refused to buy the rest except for necessary expenses and some things on Gu Yanzhang's body. She simply used everything in her previous life, but now she has coarse tea and light rice, simple clothes, and it is not interesting. It was because Gu Yanzhang said that he wanted to buy her another gadget, but she was ten thousand disapproving, and thought that as long as she put it away and the things were not damaged, she didn't need to spend any more money to buy them.

Gu Yanzhang didn't know what she was thinking, but he was bent on buying something for this sister. He also has a heavy hand, he doesn't dare to buy more expensive ones, and he doesn't want his own, so he only picks some Ji Qingling and looks at it a few times, and his eyes linger. I also calculated that when I got home, I would pick up a few more books, so that I could save some money, so that he would not be able to stand up for a man's family, but he would use Ji Qingling, a little girl, to find a way to support the family.

After the college examination, he also put his mind at ease, if it is according to the feel of these two games, as long as there is no accident, at least one of the two courtyards of Liangshan and Qingming can be entered. At that time, I will enter the school, and the good students will be motivated, and I will win the free quota, and then I will win the first place once a month, earn more money, and raise my sister.

The two of them were worried about each other, and they all twisted their minds out of nine curves and eighteen bends, and they both held back to prevent each other from knowing.

The examination room was not far away, Gu Yanzhang took Ji Qingling and walked around, and arrived at the tea shop yesterday just after the hour.

At this time, the exam has not yet ended, and many people have gathered inside, in addition to the candidates' families and servants, there are three or two strong men dressed as dart masters sitting around the table at the entrance of the door, with a Beijing accent, ordering food and wine, and treating this place as a restaurant.

When Ji Qingling passed by, he heard those dart masters talking, his heart moved, he pulled Gu Yanzhang's sleeve, picked up a table close to them and sat down. He also called the second child in the shop, ordered a pot of tea, a few snacks, and sat down.

The dart masters are energetic and energetic, and because they are away all the year round, they have to speak much louder than ordinary people. Ji Qingling and Gu Yanzhang sat on the side, but they heard the things that a large table of people on the other side were talking about.

It turned out that these dart masters came from the capital, and they went to Lingzhou, and at this time, there were many news in Beijing, one of which was the battle in Yanzhou.

Yanzhou was slaughtered only three or four months after this time, and the imperial court was furious and dismissed the current Yanyan Lu Jingluo pacification envoy and ordered him to return to Beijing to be punished. He also appointed Yang Kui as the governor of Yanzhou and the pacification envoy of Yanyan Road, and took over the Zhenrong army and the security army, and dispatched Lingzhou troops to the rescue.
