An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao, who were carrying the baggage, got on the carriage that had just been hired in the town, because they had to take a boat to the provincial capital when they arrived at the county seat.

So when his own carriage arrived there, there was no place to put it, just stayed at the Gu family.

watched An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao leave.

Gu Tongsheng saw the tears that Gu Shi had to endure until the two children left, stretched out his hand and pulled his wife and said, "Go back!"

When the children are older, let them go on their own and fight! ”

The two old men walked into the house with some staggering steps.

No one noticed that under the eaves of the Dong family, not far from the Gu family, Dong Xiucai's lady Wang, who came out to pour the tribute bucket, watched An Chuxia and their carriage disappear on the long street.

Whoop hard!

There was envy and jealousy in his eyes.

I feel that the examiners of those imperial examinations are blind, obviously my daughter is so knowledgeable, and she has been personally taught by her father-in-law since she was a child.

Why can't you even pass the hospital exam?

If you don't pass the college examination, you are not a talent, and you are not even qualified to go to the township to take the exam.

And after that slut left his private school, he was lucky enough to hear that he is now a little three yuan in the imperial examination.

"No! It must be that cheap girl who took away her daughter's luck in the exam.

I have to go to the temple on the mountain in the west of the town today to worship the Great Immortal, let the Great Immortal and his old man cast a spell, and get the good luck back!

As long as you go to worship Daxian and get your own good luck back, that cheap girl will definitely fail in this township test. ”

Wang said to himself with a vicious smile on his lips, and hurriedly went back to prepare to worship the Great Immortal.

Here, in the early summer, they had already left Qingshi Town, preparing to go to Lushan County Fuyun Wharf to take a boat.

It's just that most of the passenger boats departing from Lushan County don't stop at Yunshui Wharf, so it will be closer for them to take a boat there in early summer.

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao sat in the carriage, Mu Tan was next to the door, and An Jinchen was hot inside, sitting in front of the coachman.

Runsong stood by the city gate and carefully watched every carriage entering the city, and finally saw An Jinchen sitting in front of him in a carriage.

Hurriedly shouted loudly: "Ah Chen! ”

"Brother Runsong, why are you here?!" An Chuxia said in surprise when she saw Runsong.

Runsong couldn't help but glance into the carriage.

Only then did he reply: "The day before yesterday, Runsheng accompanied you to the county and said that Xiao Xia would leave for the provincial capital to take the exam today, so I thought about sending you off." ”

Mu Tan politely opened the carriage door at this time.

Runsong and An Chuxia finished greeting.

I turned my head and saw the little girl sitting in it with a ruddy and white face, looking at him with watery eyes, and such a tall and strong man suddenly had red ears.

"Why are you going alone, Mr. Gu, they didn't go with you?!"

Uh...... "Ann early summer, aren't we all human?"

Gu Fangmiao nodded sweetly with a smile and said, "Yes!" My grandfather and grandmother were old, and I didn't let them go with them. ”

An Jinchen saw that everyone was very finished greeting, although the carriage they were sitting in did not completely block the road, it was still very inconvenient for the carriage to bypass behind.

So I wanted to say goodbye to Brother Runsong and make way out.

Unexpectedly, before An Jinchen could say anything, Runsong looked at the little girl sitting cross-legged in the carriage, and suddenly said to An Chuxia and them: "You go to the Fuyun Wharf to wait for me first, and I will follow you to the provincial capital." ”

Except for An Chuxia, who heard what Runsong said and squinted her clear peach blossom eyes, everyone else was shocked.

"Brother Runsong, you~"

An Jinchen: "......?!" ”

After Runsong finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.

The coachman once again drove the horses pulling the cart towards the Fortune Wharf.

When An Jinchen came to Fuyun Wharf to pay the fare to the coachman, several people took their luggage and walked to a big tree on the other side of the wharf to wait for Runsong.

Today's weather is good, and the dock is full of people.

Under the light of the sun, the surface of the water sparkles and shimmers with a colorful aura.

Today is the fifth day of the eighth month, and they will arrive in Jiangning City tomorrow evening, and they still have enough time to leave two days in advance.

It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances, and who knows what will happen next.

Runsong has always been steady, and he didn't let An Chuxia and them wait long, so they went to the yamen to ask their boss for leave, and came over with a change of clothes to pack up at home.

After Runsong arrived, everyone heard the boat boss shouting for people to hurry up and get on the ship, and the passenger ship was about to leave the dock.

In the early summer, they hurriedly carried their burdens and walked towards the boat, Gu Fangmiao felt that her body was light, and when she turned her head, she saw that the burden she was carrying was taken by Runsong.

"Get on the ship, or the ship will be offshore."

Runsong's words stopped Gu Fangmiao's action to take back the burden, and saw that the little girl didn't say anything more, and walked towards the boat in a hurry.

Runsong hooked the corners of his lips and followed behind her to prevent others from squeezing the little girl.

Mu Tan glanced at the tall Runsong in surprise, and then a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes.

turned his head to see An Jinchen carrying a burden, in which were placed two small stoves and charcoal, as well as food to eat on the road.

Some of them are dried meat and diced meat made by the girl in early summer after she came back some time ago, and she also used fried oats and polished rice to grind flour before coming.

Let's just say that those are the ingredients to be brought into the exam room.

Mu Tan himself was also carrying two big burdens, and when he saw An Chuxia walking in front of him, he could only give up what he thought in his heart and follow her onto the passenger boat.

After getting on the ship, they originally prepared that An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao would have a cabin, and An Jinchen and Mu Tan would live in a cabin.

Now that Runsong is here, they have to ask for another one.

Because Runsong lives alone, An Jinchen put all the things he picked up there.

Runsong learned that the small stove and some food inside were things that An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao wanted to bring into the examination room, so he was more careful to find something to put it up, and the dampness on the boat damaged the food inside.

At noon, they bought steamed buns on the boat and ate a meal of braised pork they brought.

In the afternoon, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao were in the room, reading books separately and occasionally discussing what they didn't understand.

Several men stood on the deck blowing the breeze, looking into the distance, undulating with the waves, shadowy little white sails, and no one dared to go in and disturb them.

When you go on a long boat trip, the most important thing is fish.

For dinner, An Jinchen made a clay pot of rice from a small stove, and Runsong went to the boat to buy a plate of braised fish and boiled fish.

In addition to these two kinds of fish, there is also a plate of wilted small greens.

An Chuxia sandwiched a piece of boiled fish meat and put it in his mouth, and then squinted his eyes, worthy of the ancient times when food had not yet developed, and a earthy and fishy taste filled the taste buds.

However, seeing that everyone was eating naturally, An Chuxia still swallowed the fish without changing her face.

Fortunately, although the braised fish does not taste good, it is not as strong as the fishy smell of boiled fish.

After eating, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao did not rush back to read, but came to the deck of the ship to eat accompanied by several men.

Watching the sunset, the sunset reflects the red sky and reflects the water surface, and suddenly turns red!

It seems to be like a red lotus blooming in the water, rippling in the clear waves, beautiful and dreamy.

Mu Tan and Runsong glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, at this time there seems to be a kind of person, you are watching the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are looking at you.
