The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 109 Meeting to Climb a Mountain?
Ma Junhui, who has been paying attention to Gu Chengyu since he came in, gritted his teeth angrily when he heard that Gu Chengyu had been given a heavier task. He is not as stupid as Wang Qikai. Isn't this the master who is 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 make friends with 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 don't you copy it? Didn't the master ask you to copy yesterday's again? If you don't write it now, but when the master comes to check, you haven't finished it, and you will be punished again!" See Wang Qikai's book case Without moving a single word, Gu Chengyu spread out the paper, and after finishing speaking, he began to practice writing on his own.Thinking while writing, he had to find a way to practice his wrist strength, and Gu Chengyu thought of a big black iron bow in the space, and Gu Chengyu planned to take it out for practice.The original small bow was too light, although it was dexterous, it was not conducive to practicing wrist strength.

As the bell rang, Gu Chengyu was already packing up his pen and ink, and spent the whole day endorsing and copying.

"Chengyu! Are you alright? Let's go!" Standing in front of the desk, Wang Qikai kept urging him. He wanted to go back as soon as possible to finish the homework assigned by his master.

"Okay! Don't rush! Let's go!" Gu Chengyu planned to buy the brush washer today, otherwise he would always use someone else's, not to mention the inconvenience, and he would be awkward.

You Siyuan had already packed his book bag and stood by the door, as if he was waiting for someone.

When Gu Chengyu and the others approached, they heard You Siyuan whispering: "Chengyu! I will be Muxiu in the future, why don't we invite some classmates to climb Yunshan next to the town? The scenery on Yunshan is beautiful!"

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he heard You Siyuan's words. This You Siyuan didn't seem to like him very much when he first came, and he doesn't seem to be very talkative now.The only conversation was those two sentences at noon yesterday, why would you ask him to climb a mountain now?Also, don't tell him that Yunshan next to the town is that small 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 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, he is busy with many things at home, and he may not have time to go out and have fun.

"Why did you only ask Chengyu to go, but not me?" Wang Qikai asked angrily.The two of them stood together, but he only invited one person. Isn't it too embarrassing for him?Although, their relationship is not very good on weekdays.

"Then are you going?" 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 of them, he didn't have time to listen to them arguing here. "Thanks to Senior Brother You for looking up to me, but I'm really sorry. There were some things at home that day. I was afraid I couldn't go, so I had to ignore Senior Brother's kindness! When everyone is free, Senior Brother invites everyone to go to Changling Mountain next to my house to play. " Gu Chengyu saluted, and declined apologetically. Changling Mountain is in this area, and everyone knows it. When his house is built, he will invite his classmates to stay overnight. He just brought Wang Qikai to show Li Langzhong voila.

"Chengyu is just like Wang Qikai, just call me Siyuan! Since Chengyu is not free, let's change it next time! However, Chengyu's family lives on the edge of Changling Mountain? I heard that Changling Mountain has a lot of game. At that time, we should ask Chengyu to take us to see and see!" You Siyuan actually wanted to get close to Gu Chengyu, but this time it won't work, isn't there a next time?There's no rush for this, anyway, if you can catch up with the conversation, it's good to get familiar with it.You Siyuan found that Gu Chengyu spoke a little strangely to him, but he did not speak casually to Wang Qikai.

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient! That's right! 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 many wild animals. If they really want to go, they will only be taken around the perimeter at that time. Whether they can catch prey depends on luck!

"Are you two finished? Everyone else has left, why don't we leave?" Wang Qikai became a little impatient when he saw that others had already left.

"It's getting late! We went back earlier. My family members must have picked me up at the gate of the private school, so I'm leaving now!" After finishing speaking, Gu Chengyu hurried away and wasted a lot of time. He didn't know why You Siyuan He suddenly changed the main point and got close to him, but he always felt that You Siyuan was quite powerful, so he must have his purpose in doing so.

"Father!" As soon as Gu Chengyu and Wang Qikai came out of the private school, Gu Chengyu saw his father.On the other side, after what happened in the morning, Wang Qikai had the nerve to come over now. After separating from Gu Chengyu, he quickly climbed into the Wang family's carriage and went back.

"Father! Let's take a detour to shopkeeper Pan. I forgot to buy a pen and washing machine." Gu Chengyu climbed into the bullock cart and said to his father.

Old man Gu responded, and drove the ox cart into West Street.

"Shopkeeper Pan, here we come again!" Gu Chengyu yelled as soon as he entered the door of the bookstore.

"Are you coming? I guessed that you were coming, but you forgot to buy a pen and washer?" In fact, shopkeeper Pan didn't mention it because the nearby families with average or poorer backgrounds usually don't use pens and washers. Take a bowl instead at home.The last time he saw that Gu Chengyu was a bit particular about the material of brush and ink, he wanted to say it, but then he thought about it, maybe he didn't want to buy it at all, and he mentioned it, didn't it make everyone look bad?However, today, when Father Gu and the others bought the land and asked him to help him refer to the land deeds, he realized that the Gu family still had a lot of money, otherwise they wouldn't have bought so many fields all at once.

Gu Chengyu also thought that there was no need to save money. He was used to washing with a pen in his previous life. After all, it took him more than two years. What's more, he had already thought of a way to get money, and it was just waiting to be tested.Tomorrow he will get up early and go to the restaurant in the town to try.

In the end, Gu Chengyu took a fancy to a blue thick porcelain brush washer. The brush washer is just for washing pens, and it doesn’t need to be made of good material. Gu Chengyu also saw that the shape of this brush washer is in the shape of four scrolls of lotus leaves, which is a bit interesting. .

After another round of bargaining, Gu Chengyu spent more than 20 Wen to buy it under Pan's shopkeeper's painful expression.

As the ox cart rumbled along the loess road, Gu Chengyu asked if Papa Gu's purchase of the field today went well.

"Father! Did you buy the land today? How much money did you spend?"

"Buy it! It's 55 acres, butler Qin even gave it 410 taels cheaper. I didn't expect that our family will be in Shangling Village in the future, except this one from Mr. Zhao's house!" Old man Gu turned his head happily, He waved his hand with a thumbs up.

"Father! Our family will get better and better in the future. What about the land deed? Have you checked with shopkeeper Pan? But you have obtained the official deed?" Gu Chengyu thought for a while and thought about Old Gu. They couldn't read, so they were still a little worried. .

"Of course I did! I got a red deed from the government and paid a tax of 16 taels of silver! This tax is really expensive!" Father Gu and the others didn't take this into account. On two acres of land.
