Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Long See
Gu Wenxuan asked for a hundred and fifty pieces of silver.
Without waiting for the dart bureau to issue a certificate, he immediately pulled Yun Chengming into the carriage and went to the county government to handle the road guide.
If it weren't for Yun Chengming's appearance to handle this matter, he wouldn't have paid much for Baiwen tea.
It can be said that it is equivalent to saving costs and time in disguise.
"Stay at my house tonight, it just so happens that your sister-in-law and your daughter-in-law also know each other."
Before Gu Wenxuan could make an appointment with Wang Mazi to pick up his family at the big car shop tomorrow morning, he heard Yun Chengming's invitation first, but it really didn't work.
Not to mention that Gu Yangqing is his uncle, even if Gu Yangqing's wife is still Zhou Banxia's cousin of the same great-grandfather, it is strange that he would agree.
No, I'm scolded.
The daughters of the Zhou family are very biao.
Even Master Yun couldn't bear it.
Gu Wenxuan laughed gloatingly, and laughed even more happily when he was kicked.
It was night, and in the end, I still stayed in the east wing of Gu Yangqing's house.
It's just that the inner courtyard is next to the big car shop, and there is only a wall of the road.
Even at curfew, the night is silent, and the occasional sound of opening the door can be heard far away.
Not to mention that there are more knocks on the street outside, and there are people walking around to guard the goods patrol in front of the big car shop from time to time, and the movement is not small at all.
One night, after squinting for a while, soon dogs, horses, donkeys and other livestock barked, mixed with the shouts of unknown people asking people to move goods and tie up.
But you don't need to be reminded, and you can estimate the time by listening to the movement.
When I woke up, it was not good to light the oil lamp, and it was even more difficult to get out of the room.
If you make a slight move, you are either a cousin, or a cousin who asks if there is something missing.
The two of them couldn't cry or laugh, so they couldn't get up.
Waited, waited, waited for the stove room to move, and got up to wash.
After waiting for a little more, it was just time for the morning bell to ring the curfew.
Seeing that Zhou Banxia was stopped by Zhou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again, Gu Wenxuan hurriedly went outside to see if Wang Mazi had arrived, otherwise he would really not be able to leave this morning.
There were a lot of torches lit outside, and it was the busiest time.
Horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and donkey carts loaded with goods also began to rush out in an orderly manner.
Gu Wenxuan ducked aside and walked outside the open door.
Just happened to see Wang Mazi coming with a carriage, slowly stopping in the open space on the left side of the gate.
Two or three people took the handle and tied the luggage and items that were inconvenient to stuff into the carriage to the carriage, and waited for her to enter the carriage when Zhou Banxia came out.
It's not usually fast.
Her aunt and cousin were still uneasy and lifted the curtain of the car and went in to take a look.
Seeing that the carriage is very spacious, the wide collapse inside can squeeze two people.
There is also a red clay stove fixed in the corner, and a small table is fixed next to it.
This is the release of people?
Zhou Banxia stepped on a low stool and got into the carriage, obediently laid out all the things he needed, and then waited for Gu Wenxuan to go around to the front of the car and sit down.
This time I can be regarded as able to set off, but there are still a few words of advice.
Among them, Gu Yangqing, who was the cousin, quietly reminded his nephew not to sit outside with thin skin, facing the cold wind, and didn't know how to go back to the carriage to rest.
Not.
It is only a short distance from the big car shop to the city gate.
When he left the city, he had to wait for the convoy to converge before setting off, so he temporarily sat in the front of the car to accompany Wang Mazi to chat.
Gu Wenxuan didn't know what his father and mother had privately explained to Gu Yangqing and his family before returning to the village yesterday evening, and they were so nervous that they were children.
For a while, he forgot that he had gone to Fucheng before, except for the Yun family's father and son, very few people knew about it, and now that he had brought his delicate daughter-in-law, Gu Yangqing and his family were not nervous.
Besides, the Zhou family is an aunt, and the two in-laws personally sent her niece to her house, not for her husband's family, but for her mother's brother.
Zhou Banxia didn't know that her cousin didn't believe that her father and mother didn't send her two to the county seat together, but she felt that there was no need to toss her father and mother to get up early.
Of course, she couldn't help it even if she knew.
Just like she said that she was going to visit her aunt's house this time, and brought New Year's gifts to several families.
Her dad knew it all.
Her mother couldn't understand why she didn't just hand over the New Year's gift to the shopkeeper Wang, and wait for the warm weather to go out in the spring next year.
At the front of the car, Gu Wenxuan continued the topic just now, "Okay." Then I won't thank you again and again, I'll ask you to take care of you along the way in the past few days. ”
Wang Mazi laughed loudly, "It's polite again." It's a brother, naturally more dedicated.
This time, there is also Steward Zhao from the west of the city, and there is no way to go wrong. ”
Is it the Zhao family again?
I wanted to avoid the Zhao family, but I still bumped into the Zhao family.
Gu Wenxuan shook his head secretly, not knowing how his daughter-in-law felt when she heard that there was a housekeeper of the Zhao family traveling with her.
Zhou Banxia was speechless.
God, this is not going to let Xuanzi find Zhao Laosan to make a fortune!
To be honest, she doesn't like the Zhao family, especially Boss Zhao, who is an official.
"It's no surprise that you don't know, he played a game of darts yesterday when it was almost dark.
Originally, I wanted to wait for the next trip, but I heard that this trip to Jiang Mansion was going to stay in Linxian for a day or two before changing the itinerary.
It is Zhao Sanye's father-in-law's family, it seems to be the youngest grandson of the aunt and grandmother of Jiang Mansion, and Zhao Erye asked the housekeeper to go to Fucheng in person, and then go to Fucheng. ”
Zhao Lao Er can.
Without Old Man Zhao and Old Man Zhao, the people are still playing well.
It's not like what his father said Zhao Lao Er is as sincere as his third uncle.
The carriage stopped, and Zhou Banxia lifted the corner of the carriage curtain.
At this time, they had already arrived at the city gate, and it seemed that they were in front of the convoy, but they still had to stop on the side of the road and wait.
At this time, a carriage and two carriages soon came, and they stopped one after another in the open space reserved by the convoy on the side and waited.
Obviously, the passengers in these carriages are individual passengers like the two of them.
Since the Zhao family went to give a birthday gift and went to Fucheng, it was impossible to travel with one or two carriages.
I waited for about a quarter of an hour.
The convoy was already very long, and Zhou Banxia was almost asleep.
Finally, the sound of horses' hooves was heard.
I saw three or five guards on horseback coming out of the city gate first.
This was followed by five or six wagons laden with goods.
It's not slow.
A horse-drawn carriage followed one after another through the city gate and was checked.
This time, until a carriage stopped at the end, a middle-aged man of about fifty years old wearing a very long thick cotton robe came out of the carriage.
Round face chubby.
Short and strong.
Before the person could stand firmly, he laughed first.
Don't think twice about it.
Judging from this person's habitual hunched body when he stands, he must be some kind of butler of the Zhao family.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Banxia saw the other party raise his chin and apologize to everyone.
"It's not too late, it's not too late, it's just right, you invite first."
"The big butler is polite, the time is just right."
Seeing the scene where suddenly a lot of people came forward to greet and humble the Steward Zhao, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle when he put down the corner of the curtain.
I have seen it for a long time.
This Zhao family is more majestic than Gaofu.
"Alright, keep up."
Seeing that Yun Chengming turned around and went to the front of the convoy, Wang Mazi immediately turned his head and shouted to the back compartment and sat down, and Gu Wenxuan responded, just a whip.
"Drive!"
