Chapter 53: Change Itinerary
After seeing Gu Jingyun’s name in the first ranking, the little guy ran back excitedly to tell the shopkeeper He.
Although shopkeeper He didn’t expect Gu Jingyun to be the first in the exam, he didn’t care too much. After all, the county exam was only a small exam at the beginning of the imperial examination, and this was only the first one, but Gu Jingyun won the first three consecutive exams. The shopkeeper doesn’t pay attention.
Even though Gu Jingyun’s final result was only 3rd, but those test takers can see the tricky, long-standing shopping mall, like the old fritters, he can’t see the shopkeeper He?
You Qi paid more attention to Gu Jingyun after he learned that he accepted the result calmly and didn’t get angry.
This person is talented, ambitious, and able to bend and stretch. In the end, he will not become a hero, but he will definitely become a hero. Anyway, he will not be an ordinary person.
Even if such a person does not flatter, he must not be offended.
Therefore, when Li Baolu came again, the shopkeeper He showed her 120,000 points of enthusiasm to entertain her.
This made Li Baolu quite flattered. Although Gu Jingyun said that they were mutually beneficial, this was the investment of the Bora. The favors they received today would definitely be repaid in the future, not to mention that these favors were not worth mentioning for the Bora.
But Li Baolu never thought of it that way. Favors should be judged from the side that receives, not from the side that gives.
A beggar who was about to starve to death lay on the side of the road begging. A rich man kindly gave him a bowl of porridge and saved his life. To a rich man, that bowl of porridge was just a drop in the bucket. Said it was a life saver.
In the future, if beggars have the ability to repay their kindness, should they just repay a bowl of porridge?
So she couldn’t accept shopkeeper He’s favor as she should.
Shopkeeper He also noticed her discomfort, and quickly said to the point: “The ship will leave the day after tomorrow, and Gu Gongzi will be at the port at the time of the day. I don’t know if you can make it in time. We still have a boat to leave in five days. You can also take that trip. But that boat had to go to Leizhou first, and there were a lot of stops along the way.”
There are a lot of ships on the Bora, and there are also a lot of goods to be purchased. Similarly, the routes are also different. The ship Li Baolu liked stopped at Guanghaiwei for half a day to replenish water and set off. It is the fastest to Guangzhou. ferry.
But he left the day after tomorrow. Shopkeeper He felt that Gu Jingyun might not be able to make it in time. He had just finished the exam and not only had to rest, but also socialize and pack his luggage…
There are many candidates who want to take the Bora to take the exam, but most of them choose the boat that will take five days later.
But Li Baolu said happily: “Then we will take the boat the day after tomorrow, and we will be at the port before the hour.”
Their things are just that little, they have already been packed, as long as they are organized.
Gu Jingyun also went out to socialize for a long time. After returning home, he closed the door and cleaned up with Li Baolu. All the things were put on the trolley, and the two of them could board the boat by pushing the trolley.
On the day of departure, it was sunny and sunny, and the waves lapped on the shore one after another. Gu Jingyun slowly exhaled a sigh of relief at the sea where the sky and water were one, turned back to look at the direction of home, and said proudly: “I will come back again. I want to pick up my uncle and leave.”
Li Baolu nodded again and again and looked at the other side of the sea with bright eyes, full of excitement, they were about to leave Qiongzhou to explore the world, hahahaha, Jianghu, the world, the heroine, here I come!
Feeling the mood swings of the people beside her, Gu Jingyun gave her a condescending glance, walked towards the boat first, and urged, “Let’s go, don’t let people wait.”
Li Baolu immediately pushed the scooter and followed behind him.
Shopkeeper He was checking the goods to ensure that nothing was missing, so the two were led into the cabin by a young man.
The young man respectfully said to the two of them, “Young Master Gu, this is your stateroom. If you want to see what is missing in the room, let us know, and we will prepare it for you.”
Gu Jingyun glanced at the things in the room, pointed to Li Baolu and asked, “Where does she live?”
“This,” the young man glanced at Li Baolu, and said with some trepidation, “She is Gu Gongzi’s girl, she should serve you personally, but if she wants to live alone in a room, she can go to the shopkeeper if she wants to live alone. ‘s indication.”
“No, let her live with me,” Gu Jingyun said, “but she is not my girl, but my wife.”
The little guy opened his mouth wide, looked at Gu Jingyun, who was thin and fair, and then looked at Li Baolu, who was dark but boyish. He closed his mouth after a while, turned around and left in a daze.
Li Baolu laughed and pushed Gu Jingyun, “Look at you scaring people.”
Gu Jingyun said solemnly: “I’ll treat you as a servant girl. I’m afraid that I will be beaten to death by my aunt when I go back, so I quickly packed up my things and put them away. We have to stay on the boat for several days.”
When shopkeeper He learned that Li Baolu was Gu Jingyun’s daughter-in-law, he couldn’t help but drop his chin. He didn’t expect Gu Jingyun to be married so early, and who’s family is so big, he even let two and a half-year-old children go to the exam together ?
Even if the adults in the family can’t take time, there should be a clan brother or something to bring them?
Although shopkeeper He was busy, he still took time out of his time to look at the young couple and said that if he had any business, he could just find them, and after a chat, he treated Gu Jingyun even more differently.
When facing him, Gu Jingyun neither despised nor short-tempered. Instead, he asked him about Guangzhou like a friend talking, ranging from the current officials in Guangzhou, to how many squares there are in Guangzhou, the restaurants and inns with good reputation, the famous ones. Food, etc., almost everything is discussed, and the attitude is not humble, but it is not arrogant.
The time passed without knowing it, and if the guy was not dangling at the door to report the matter, he probably hadn’t noticed the passage of time.
He shopkeeper and steward sighed: “It’s really terrifying, it’s really amazing that Qiongzhou Mansion can produce such a character.”
The steward bent over and said, “How about we give them three more points? We can also pack the food and lodging after they disembark. If you can go home for a while…”
Shopkeeper He shook his head, “It’s too much, not to mention that Mr. Gu, even his little lady, I’m afraid he doesn’t love him, so let’s go as it is. After the ship arrives in Guangzhou, I will send him a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and leave a famous post from Zhang He’s family. Just fine.”
The manager responded, and the two of them started talking about business.
Gu Jingyun pulled Li Baolu to stand on the deck and looked at the sea that could not be seen at a glance. The sea breeze blew through his robes and made a whirring sound. He couldn’t help knocking on the railing and asked, “You said we will go after our hospital has tried it. where?”
“Go to the capital,” Li Baolu asked in surprise, “Didn’t you plan to go to the capital early in the morning?”
Gu Jingyun was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, “I don’t want to go to the capital, my household registration is in Qiongzhou, and I have to take the township exam in Guangzhou, and next year will be the year of the Great Competition. If I go back to the capital, I’m afraid that I will go south to take the township examination before I get hot. The most important thing is that we may not be able to come out again when we return to the capital. ”
A cold light flashed in Gu Jingyun’s eyes and said, “If I were the Gu family, I would definitely not give me a chance to succeed.”
Li Baolu asked blankly, “Where are we going then?”
Gu Jingyun was silent for a long time before he said: “Go to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Governor He Chong is my aunt and cousin, we will meet him.”
Li Baolu’s heart skipped a beat, and she persuaded dryly, “I, I didn’t hear my uncle and aunt mention him. We might as well go to Hunan to find Uncle Chen.”
Chen Tong, the prefect of Hunan, is Qin Xinfang’s classmate and friend. Because he pleads for Qin Xinfang, he has been demoted again and again. Recently, he has just worked hard to climb the position of the prefect of Hunan, but he still keeps close contact with Uncle Qin.
Gu Jingyun smiled and rubbed her head: “Silly boy, it is because of He Chong’s attitude that we are going to meet him. Uncle Chen is already from our side. What’s the use of seeing him again?”
Li Baolu opened her mouth, Gu Jingyun calmly analyzed with her: “Uncle has a lot of contacts, it’s not that these people haven’t worked hard, but they can’t help my uncle out of the crime, obviously the existing contacts are not enough, we have to find more Power, gather more power.”
“But why would you convince him? If even my aunt can’t…”
“Auntie is a family love, so I will lure her to benefit. I have to go to see me before I give up.”
Li Baolu saw that his eyes were full of persistence and he was determined to win, so he had to compromise, “But once there is danger, you have to listen to me. I said that you must follow me.”
Gu Jingyun nodded with a smile, “Don’t worry.”
Li Baolu rolled her eyes and said, “I’m not at all relieved.”
