The steward of the Shunyi Dart Bureau and the old farmer's observation and timing skills are more accurate than the weather forecast, and it will not rain until the next day.

Today, the sky finally cleared, the dirt road was exposed to the scorching sun for a day, and it was convenient to travel.

When he set off, it was already the fourth day after the rain, and on this day, Zhou Banxia was also fortunate to meet the "little Jiao'er" who traveled with him.

Wearing a crescent-colored gown, except for the sachet worn on the head and waist, and the shoes worn on the feet, even the folding fan is only a little black.

A white fat man.

No wonder the appearance is a horseback guard leading the way in front, a steward scholar beside him, and a family member following him, looking at the white and tender little fat sheep.

Zhou Banxia can be regarded as understanding why Gu Wenxuan quickly turned into black charcoal when scholars are proud of white, and he is not ashamed to mention the word "handsome".

The other party really can't match the handsome, like a little fresh meat, and really lives up to the name of "little Jiaoer" given by the outside world.

The convoy is leaving.

In front of him, there was a martial artist of the dart bureau riding a horse to open the way, and then the elders were the first, following them, and they were dusty all the way, and they were going to be dusty when they turned back.

Zhou Banxia hurriedly closed the car door, just thinking that it was not yet the time when the sun was rising, and the ice tray in the carriage would not be stuffy, and the window could be opened.

When I turned my head, I saw the young river lying on it, and it was very interesting to see everything.

It is not more spacious than the previous carriage, but because of the additional seats on both sides, the couch is smaller, and the couch of this carriage is large enough to lie more comfortable.

I got up too early today, and I quickly became sleepy, Zhou Banxia told Xiaohe two words, and immediately fell down and covered his head and fell asleep.

Xu is drowsiness is contagious, and when the convoy rested at noon, Gu Wenxuan came back from the back carriage and saw that the two sisters and brothers were still sleeping soundly on the couch.

But it's not okay to wake up the two sisters and brothers, if you don't get out of the car at this time, you will really have to be pulled in the gong bucket until dark, and the heat can stink to death.

Zhou Banxia woke up in a daze, and was in a trance for a while, "What time is it, it's dawning, it's not raining, I'm late again." ”

Brother Xiao sister.

"What are we going to eat this morning?" Xiaohe rubbed his sleepy eyes with his hands and sat up, "Oh, the sun is getting high, why did I wake up-"

Gu Wenxuan suddenly laughed.

Well?

Zhou Banxia immediately woke up, daring to be on the road, and then looked at Xiaohe with a confused look at Gu Wenxuan blinking her eyes, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Drink saliva to moisten your throat first."

"You didn't take a break?"

"I'm used to taking a break in the afternoon."

"It's fine. What about Oe? ”

"In the shade of the tree ahead, waiting for you to get up. Don't worry, it's hot, and when you know that they are ready for lunch, it's too late to go down. ”

This is not in a hurry compared to Zhou Banxia, Xiaohe couldn't help but release water, Gu Wenxuan hurriedly picked him up and got out of the carriage and handed it to Dajiang not far away to watch.

It just so happened that the ice cubes in the ice tray in front of the bed had almost melted, and Zhou Banxia poured the ice cubes in the ice tray into the wooden barrel next to him to freshen up.

You get what you pay for.

The new carriage is far from being comparable to the previous carriage, and this sleep is very comfortable, and you will not be unable to stretch your hands and feet.

Stretching his waist, when Zhou Banxia put on his hat and went out, the food for eating and drinking was set up like a picnic under the shade of the trees a few steps away from the carriage.

Looking around, the same is true for each family, but there are servants who are either carrying dishes or food boxes, and want to come and add food to each other.

Seeing this, Zhou Banxia subconsciously glanced at Gu Dahua, and listened to Gu Dahua's family's immediate return that they had already sent a fried lamb chop to the dart bureau and Lin Shibo, and each family also returned a dish.

If it is hot today, and I am resting on the way, I have to rush next, and there is basically no soup and water for each meal, so how convenient and how to come.

Dry, the sour plum soup is also tired of drinking, Zhou Banxia doesn't have much appetite, but Xiaohe who eats with her is not picky, and he has an excellent appetite and runs to see his foal after eating.

There were people all around, as well as Gu Wenxuan and Da Jiang staring, and the scholar followed, but there was no need to worry about him being abducted at a young age, and it was hot outside, Zhou Banxia hurried back to the carriage.

Set off again, Xiaohe cleverly gave his third sister to his third brother-in-law and ran to sit with Dajiang.

The horses and mules used forage and water, and it was obvious that the speed was much faster, but I didn't know that it was different from when I came, and it didn't take six or seven days to get to Dingzhou Mansion.

"No, five days at most." Gu Wenxuan leaned comfortably against the wall of the car with a large pillow and half-laid, "I didn't plan it when I came."

One is that at that time, except for Lin Shibo, who had a meritorious reputation and could stay in the post station, most people could only stay in the big car shop, which delayed a lot of time.

Then I forgot for a while that there were students who were about the same as us on the road, and there were many merchants on the road, so I couldn't hurry up if I wanted to. ”

Zhou Banxia was stunned for a moment, and in retrospect, it seemed to be the case, especially the merchants, Zhending Mansion was a province in the end, and there were more merchants coming and going.

Several times to stay on the way, not to mention the big car shop, even the villages where some borrowers live are often full, and everyone has to squeeze in.

"Now?" Gu Wenxuan stopped talking, patted his side, and motioned for Zhou Banxia to lie down next to him.

Do you want to say something private?

Seeing this, Zhou Banxia lay down and rolled to his side.

"Now-" Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but smile and hugged people, "Most of the candidates have already returned home, there are fewer people on the road, and those who walk together basically have a talent and fame, and they can stay in the post station." ”

yes, it's weird.

Children who are rushing to take the exam are not allowed to live in the post station, but Xiucai can stay completely, like a guest house, they only need to pay the check-in fee.

"You may fall asleep in the morning and don't know that the time you passed the checkpoint is different from the time you came, and seeing that we are all the talents on the list this time, the inspection is also relaxed."

Tut~

"Besides, if you stay at the post station tonight, you can stay in Uncle Lin's Zhuangzi tomorrow night.

The night after tomorrow, I will go to Senior Brother Qi's hometown, and the night after tomorrow it will be the turn of Zhangjia Zhuangzi, think about how much time you will save here.

Unlike before, there was no preparation for the accommodation, it was messy, a large group of people were scattered, either staying in a post station or a big car shop, and waiting to set off again to join the whole team.

This time, it's simple, the whole convoy can go in and out at the same time, especially when it comes to their few Zhuangzi, and there is no need to pay too much attention to the unloading of things on the mule cart behind. ”

In other words, we still buy less Zhuangzi? Zhou Banxia couldn't help but joke that he still needed to work hard to earn money and buy a Zhuangzi every fifty or sixty miles.

"Smart, the next goal is a Zhuangzi in every official road fifty miles across the country, it's up to you, do you have confidence, daughter-in-law?"

"Don't call my daughter-in-law a good one, it's so stressful." Zhou Banxia diverted the topic and got back to business, "Did you talk to that person in the morning?" ”

Zhang Qingshan?
