Chapter Thirty-Seven: Meeting to Go Mountaineering?
Ma Junhui, who has been paying attention to Gu Chengyu since he came in, heard that Gu Chengyu was being given an aggravated task, so he gritted his teeth in anger, he is not as stupid as Wang Qikai, isn't this the master more optimistic about Gu Chengyu's performance?
You Siyuan also shook his head, Wang Qikai is so stupid, no wonder his father didn't let him befriend Wang Qikai, didn't he say that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black?
"Why haven't you copied yet? Didn't the Master tell you to copy yesterday's again? If you don't write it at the moment, but when the master comes to check it, you haven't written it yet, and you'll be punished again! Seeing that Wang Qikai's book case did not move, Gu Chengyu spread out the paper, and after speaking, he practiced the words by himself. While writing, he thought that he had to find a way to practice his wrist strength, and thought that there was a big bow of black black iron in the space, and Gu Chengyu planned to take it out to practice. The original bow was too lightweight, and although dexterous, it was not conducive to wrist strength.
As the bell rang, Gu Chengyu was already packing up his pen and ink, and the day was spent in endorsing and copying.
"Seiyu! Are you alright? Let's go! Wang Qikai stood in front of the bookcase and urged him to go back as soon as possible to complete the homework assigned by his master.
"That's it! Don't rush! Let's go! "Gu Chengyu plans to buy the pen wash back today, otherwise he will always use someone else's, not to mention that it is inconvenient, he is also awkward.
You Siyuan had already packed his bookbag and stood by the door, as if waiting for someone.
When Gu Chengyu and the others approached, they heard You Siyuan whisper: "Chengyu! The day after tomorrow is Mu Xiu, why don't we make an appointment with a few classmates to go to the cloud mountain next to the town to climb high? The scenery on Yunshan is good! ”
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he heard You Siyuan's words, this You Siyuan didn't seem to think much of him when he first came, and even now he can't speak very well. The only time we talked was the two sentences at noon yesterday, how could I find him to climb the mountain now? Also, don't tell him that the cloud mountain next to the town is the little hill, right?
Compared with the mountains like Changling Mountain, the cloud mountain can only be described in small characters, how can people who stay on the side of the mountain every day want to go to the mountain to play? Besides, tomorrow, Dashan's mold will definitely be ready, he will stay at home to make soap, and he is busy with a lot of things at home, I'm afraid he won't have time to go out and have fun.
"Why did you only ask Chengyu to go, but not me?" Wang Qikai asked indignantly. The two of them stood together, but he only invited one person, which would be too embarrassing for him, right? Although, their relationship on weekdays is not very good.
"Are you going or not?" You Siyuan glanced at Wang Qikai and asked perfunctorily, this tone and attitude made Wang Qikai almost turn his face again.
Gu Chengyu hurriedly stopped the two, he didn't have time to listen to the two of them arguing here. "Thanks to Senior Brother You, I can't afford it, but I'm really sorry, there are some things at home that day, I'm afraid I can't go, so I can only brush off Senior Brother's kindness! When everyone has free time, my junior brother invites everyone to go to Changling Mountain next to my house to play. Gu Chengyu bowed and refused apologetically, Changling Mountain is in this area, and everyone knows about it, when his house is built, please stay with his classmates when the time comes, just take Wang Qikai to Li Langzhong to take a look.
"Chengyu and Wang Qikai are the same, just call me to think far! Since Chengyu is not available, let's change it next time! However, the Chengyu family lives on the side of Changling Mountain? I heard that there is a lot of game in Changling Mountain, and when the time comes, we will ask Chengyu to take us to see it! "You Siyuan actually wants to get close to Gu Chengyu, not this time, isn't there a next time? There's no rush for this, anyway, it's good to be familiar with it. You Siyuan found that Gu Chengyu was a little unfamiliar with him, but he didn't speak casually to Wang Qikai.
"Then I'd be respectful and obey! Oh, yes! Siyuan, my family lives in Shangling Village, and I will definitely take everyone to play when I have time. Gu Chengyu complained in his heart, there are a lot of game, but there are also a lot of wild beasts, if you really want to go, you will only take them into the periphery to take a turn, whether you can hunt the prey, it depends on luck!
"Are you two finished? Everyone else is gone, why don't we leave? Wang Qikai saw that others had already left, so he was a little impatient.
"It's getting late! We went back earlier, and my family must have already picked me up at the door of the private school, so I'm leaving! After saying that, Gu Chengyu hurriedly slipped away, delaying for a long time, he didn't know why You Siyuan suddenly changed his main point and became close to him, but he always felt that You Siyuan was quite urban, and he must have his purpose in doing so.
"Daddy!" As soon as Gu Chengyu and Wang Qikai came out of the private school, Gu Chengyu saw his father. And Wang Qikai on the other side was embarrassed to come over now after the morning, and after separating from Gu Chengyu, he quickly climbed into the Wang family's carriage and went back.
"Daddy! Let's take a detour to Pan's shopkeeper, I forgot to buy a pen to wash it before. Gu Chengyu climbed into the ox cart and said to his father.
Father Gu replied and drove the ox cart into West Street.
"Shopkeeper Pan, we're here again!" Gu Chengyu shouted as soon as he entered the door of the bookstore.
"You're here, boy? I guessed you were coming, but you forgot to buy a pen to wash? In fact, the shopkeeper Pan didn't bring it up, because people with average or poor family backgrounds in the neighborhood generally don't use pen washing, but take a bowl at home instead. Last time, he saw that Gu Chengyu was a little particular about the material of pen and ink, and he wanted to say it, but then he thought about it, maybe people didn't want to buy it at all, didn't he mention it to make everyone's face look bad? However, today, Daddy Gu bought the land and asked him to help refer to the field deed, and he realized that the Gu family still had some family background, otherwise he would not have bought so much land at once.
Gu Chengyu also thought that there was no need to save, he was used to washing the pen in his previous life, after all, it had been used for more than two years, not to mention, he had already thought of a way to make money, just waiting for the experiment. Ming'er is going to get up early and go to the restaurant in the town to try.
In the end, Gu Chengyu took a fancy to a blue-colored coarse porcelain pen wash, the pen wash is just to wash the pen, it doesn't need to be good material, Gu Chengyu also saw that the shape of this pen wash is four rolls of lotus leaf type, which is a bit interesting.
It was another bargain, and under the painful expression of the shopkeeper Pan, Gu Chengyu spent more than 20 yuan to buy it.
The ox cart was grunting on the loess road, and Gu Chengyu asked if Gu's father's purchase of land today was still going well.
"Daddy! Did you buy the land today? How much silver was spent? ”
"Bought it! The whole fifty-five acres, Steward Qin also gave more than two taels cheaper, and gave four hundred and ten taels, but I didn't expect our family to be in Shangling Village in the future, except for this one from Master Zhao's family! Daddy Gu turned around happily and waved his thumbs-up hand.
"Daddy! Our family will get better and better in the future. What about the field deed? Have you seen it with Pan's shopkeeper? But did you get an official deed? Gu Chengyu thought about Daddy Gu, they didn't know how to read, and they were still a little worried.
"Of course I looked! went to the government to get a red deed, and paid a tax of sixteen taels of silver! That's a lot of money! "Daddy Gu, they didn't take this into account, but who knew that this tax could buy two acres of land.
