Chapter 1112 Ouyang Ming
Their family had discussed it, and Shang Xiucai, Qu Xiucai, and Mr. Xu took them to Linhe Prefecture to take the exam.
In addition to Gu Jinan and the other students who are going to take the exam, Chen and Gu Dagui will also leave tomorrow. The couple are going to Fucheng, He'an Prefecture to prepare for opening a shop.
Mrs. Chen was very excited and kept talking: "When I get to Fucheng, I will work hard. When I make a lot of money, my family will buy you a set of golden noodles when I come back!"
Several members of the family were frightened by these words and thought Mrs. Chen was crazy.
Gu Dewang didn't believe it and said behind his back: "It's impossible for my mother to buy gold jewelry for everyone. She was just excited by the engagement gift that Brother Sanlang gave to Sister Xiaoyu yesterday. Just kidding, my mother is so cool. , she will at most buy two chickens for everyone to eat when she comes back."
It feels distressing to give chickens, let alone gold-headed noodles.
Mrs. Chen didn't know where she heard this, so she punished Gu Dewang and warned him: "Study hard, I have given you a commission to repair. If you don't study hard and get a good name, our family will be ruined." Youll lose money!
Then he said to Gu Dafu: "Brother, after Dagui and I leave, you will watch over Brother Wang and Brother Fa for us. If they dare to disobey, beat them until they do! Don't worry about what they eat and drink. They can do it themselves." If you know how to cook, you have to keep an eye on them and don't let them eat meat all day long. These half-grown kids are so good at eating. If they eat meat too much, the family will be destitute in less than three days."
When Gu Dagui and his wife wanted to open a shop in the city, the Gu Dewang brothers were left in the charge of their uncle Gu Dafu. However, Mrs. Chen did not allow them to eat at Gu Dafu's house, saying that they were old enough to cook for themselves. Moreover, Gu Dexing will get engaged after returning from the college entrance examination. They will get married within one or two years. It is not good for Gu Dewang and Gu Defa to go to Gu Dafu's house for dinner every day.
"Hey, don't worry, you two." Gu Dafu smiled and pushed Gu Dewang, asking him to learn from his brother and go pack Chen's things, so as not to get beaten by Chen's men.
He went to talk to Gu Dagui, and said a lot not to be impulsive when encountering problems, and to remember to go to the Hu family and Qi family for help first; if someone was carrying a body for blackmail, report it directly to the official, or go to Fucheng The defenders' request for help from the camp revealed many things to Gu Dagui.
Gu Dagui knew that his eldest brother was afraid that he would suffer if something happened in Fucheng, so in order to prevent him from worrying, he agreed to everything.
Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian also brought Tian Erqiang and Tian Xiaohua to help the Chen family pack their things. After the Chen family and his wife went to Fucheng, the shops in the town were left to the Tian family to run.
In terms of ability, it should be run by Yan and Gu Damu, but Gu Dalin already runs the shop in the county town, and among the several families, only the Tian family has the least responsibility. After several families discussed it, they asked Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian to take charge of the shops in the town.
Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian didn't dare to take over, but it was Tian Xiaohua who stood up and said: "Mom and dad, everyone in the town is familiar with us, what are you afraid of? Besides, our family can't always be like this. Learn from your noble aunt and work hard while you can."
If you dont run a shop alone and gain experience, how will you find Sister Erhua in the future?
Tian Xiaohua is still thinking about Tian Erhua, feeling that she is not dead but is suffering somewhere, and she must rescue her in the future.
Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian then agreed to take over the shop and have been taking over it with Chen for the past few days.
On May 20th, several families, including the head of the village, were crazy busy.
The next day, May 21, several families got up early, loaded the prepared things onto the mule cart, and set off at the auspicious time.
Village Chief He and his family sent He Jinsheng to the Gu family together.
Village Chief He still held Gu Jinan's hand and choked with sobs: "Brother An, you have to take care of my Jin Sheng. He is not like you, he is smart and knows how to do things. He is just a stupid boy from the country. You have to help him." Just keep an eye on him."
He Jinsheng was very embarrassed and hurriedly grabbed his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, my grandson is older than An Ge'er. He can take care of himself, so don't worry."
Village Chief He: "What do you know? There are a lot of evil people on the road rushing to take the exam. There are evil people waiting to rob the candidates at this time. You have to follow Brother An closely!"
An Ge'er's family has Zezi, Feng Jin, Feng Lian and others who are good at **** and kicking to follow him and fawn over An Ge'er, so that the road can be safe. Gu Jinan smiled and said: "Don't worry, village chief, I will definitely protect Brother Jin Sheng and let him return home safely."
After hearing this, the village chief felt relieved.
Gu Dashan and Mrs. Cui were very reluctant to let go of Gu Jinan. They held his hand and told him with red eyes: "If you have anything to do, let Feng Jin and the others do it. Don't be reluctant to spend money. There is no shortage of money at home. Be careful when entering the examination room. , dont let anyone tamper with you, and listen to your master when you encounter problems. He has passed the scholar examination and has experienced many things..."
They talked for more than a quarter of an hour, and then the third grandfather and the third grandmother spoke. After the two elders finished speaking, Gu Jinli, Gu Jinxiu, and Cheng Geer also said a few words.
Brother Cheng was particularly reluctant to leave Brother An and said, "If I were a few years older, I could take the exam with my brother."
Gu Jinan smiled and told him: "Be obedient at home, don't get into trouble, and help your parents with their work."
Brother Cheng nodded again and again and kept promising.
Gu Dexing and Qi Kangming were also talking to their families. They said that when the auspicious time was almost over, they hurriedly got into the mule cart and left.
Shang Xiucai sent Shang Yuanyuan and Jiang to the Jiang family in the county yesterday. Therefore, Gu Jinan and the others did not have to go to Shangjia Village to meet Shang Xiucai, but went directly to the county.
After meeting up with the Xu family, the Qu family, and Shang Xiucai, they went to the county government office to bid farewell to Magistrate Zheng, and then ran towards the city together.
After three days of running around, I finally arrived at He'an Prefecture. I rested in the city for one night and sent Chen and Gu Dagui to the shop. After meeting up with Lu Bai and Yao Youqian, they rushed to Linhe Prefecture together the next day.
Along the way, I met many candidates taking the exam. Because they were afraid of being robbed, they all walked together.
But the robbers have been waiting for them to come for a long time, can they be let go? They were lying in ambush on secluded mountain roads. Whenever they encountered a group of candidates who had money but did not have official lanterns hanging on their mule carts, they would rush out and rob them.
Gu Jinan and the others were very unlucky to be stopped by a group of twenty or so gangsters.
There were two clicks, and the mule cart of Qu Xiucai's family ran over something. The whole mule cart made a roar and was overturned to the ground. Qu Xiucai and Master Qu were both knocked unconscious.
The robber immediately ran out with a big knife and shouted: "Stop, if you don't want to die, hand over your valuables to me, otherwise you will be buried in the mountains!"
He also said: "Don't talk nonsense with me, saying that Wang Fa and the officials will come to arrest me. Let me tell you, if I dare to rob the Tao, I will not be afraid of the officials. After robbing you, I will flee to Zhongzhou. Go, can the officials from Jianghuai go to Zhongzhou to arrest us? Do you know how chaotic Zhongzhou is now? But where refugees from all over come together, the officials are not willing to go!"
When Gu Jinan heard this, he knew that this group of gangsters were habitual criminals, and they should not rob poor candidates, but specifically rob candidates like them who were rich but were not officials.
They are a very smart group of robbers who can get the most money by robbing candidates and will not anger the officials.
On the road not far away, the shadow guard of the Ouyang family heard this and hurried back to report to Ouyang Ming: "Miss Qizhen, if there is a calamity ahead, let's wait first. We can't pass now."
When young ladies from aristocratic families travel, they will first let the shadow guards explore the way, and only when it is safe will they be allowed to pass.
