MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 59 buy a car
Zhao Ning swayed as soon as he walked out of the examination room and almost fell to the ground. His book boy Bizhu hurriedly supported him with a worried look on his face, "Young Master, are you alright?"
Zhao Ning's eyes lit up, he grabbed Bizhu tightly and asked, "Where's Young Master Gu? Has he come out?"
There were actually two questions in this exam that he reviewed in the past two days. Zhao Ning was so happy when he saw the questions, he almost couldn't help laughing.
"Master Gu came out before noon, and he must be in the inn now." Compared with the embarrassment of the son, the weak Gu Jingyun looked much better.
Zhao Ning was half-supported by the book boy and got into the donkey cart and rushed back to the inn.
The book boy sweated profusely and said, "Young Master, I'll show you to the doctor if you're young."
Zhao Ning filled half a pot of water and shook his head excitedly: "No, I'm fine, just rest for a while."
He still has to go to Gu Jingyun for the answer, see how much the doctor delays things.
This is the last exam of the hospital exam. The heartstrings of the candidates are all loosened. A small number of people fainted and were carried to the doctor by their family members or servants. Most people gathered together to answer the answer even if they were exhausted. Just to make sure you're not wrong.
As the number one in the government exam, Gu Jingyun, whose talent has been uniformly recognized by everyone, his exam paper is what everyone wants to refer to the most.
So everyone rushed back to the inn excitedly, and the first thing they did was come to the door to find Gu Jingyun.
The guy hurriedly stopped everyone and said, "Young Master Gu is unwell, and Madam Gu sent him to the hospital, not in the room."
Everyone was startled, "Young Master Gu is not feeling well? Did you fail the exam?"
The man sweated profusely and said, "That's not true. Young Master Gu's face is quite calm. It's just that he has a stomachache after eating cold food, so Madam Gu took him to see the doctor."
Everyone's faces were relieved, but they were a little disappointed in their hearts, thinking that Gu Jingyun had failed the exam.
Gu Jingyun is not here, everyone can only wait for Gu Jingyun to come back in the lobby while discussing.
There were people from other inns who came here especially, they were a little disappointed when they saw that Gu Jingyun was not there, and they heard the people next to them discussing the test papers, and they joined in one after another.
At the end of the Yuelai Inn, countless candidates gathered, and it was overcrowded.
The guys almost broke their legs, and the shopkeeper laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes while calculating the account. Sure enough, he was right to free Gu Jingyun, and he could earn a lot of money tonight.
Many of the candidates came here directly after coming off the stage. They were hungry and thirsty, so they had to eat and drink...
If you consciously do well in the test, you need to drink alcohol to cheer you up, and if you consciously do badly in the test, you need to use alcohol to relieve your worries...
Before waiting for the coming year, Gu Jingyun created so many business opportunities for him.
At this time, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu were choosing means of transportation in the bull market.
Although the bull market is called the bull market, it does not only sell cattle, but all large livestock, such as horses, donkeys, mules and sheep.
They want to go from Guangzhou to Hangzhou, they can take the water route to the land route, or they can take the land route alone.
Only in terms of comfort and speed, it is naturally better to go by water first and then by land, but Gu Jingyun came out half to run for his uncle and the others, and half to travel for study. What's the point of staying on the boat all the time?
So Gu Jingyun decided that they would go overland this time.
Then you have to have a means of transportation. You can't let Li Baolu push the scooter all the way. How long will it take to get to Hangzhou?
Gu Jingyun wanted to buy a donkey, but he could not afford a horse, let alone raise it.
A good horse costs 100 taels of silver, and a poorer horse costs about 80 taels. Good forage is required every day, which is equivalent to raising one more person.
Since they decided not to send money from Qiongzhou, they had to save some money.
Compared to horses, donkeys are not only cheaper, but also easier to feed.
But Li Baolu took a fancy to the mule.
The two were at a stalemate for a while.
Li Baolu's reason is very good, mules are not only more beautiful than donkeys, but also more durable than donkeys. The mule is powerful and more expensive, so she doesn't consider it, but the donkey and mule run at a good speed, far from being comparable to the donkey, and the donkey and mule are also cheaper than the donkey.
Gu Jingyun's reason was direct and rude, "The mule's temper is so big, can you tame it? Use it to set the car, I'm afraid it's not you driving it, but it dumped us."
Li Baolu turned her head and stared at a donkey and mule.
Donkeys and mules are a breed of female donkeys and male horses. They look like donkeys, but they are taller than donkeys. At this time, a pair of big horses stared at Li Baolu, kicked their legs irritably, and even sprayed at her twice. The horse tied beside him was even more tempered.
The horse dealer immediately whipped his whip and said to the two children with a smile: "Don't look at it being bad-tempered, but there is nothing to say about its work. It runs fast and is durable. Whether it is used for farming or pulling carts, it is very practical. , if it is not obedient, it will be straight, and if it is too much, it will be obedient."
Gu Jingyun sneered at Li Baolu, "Are you willing to smoke it?"
Li Baolu stroked the mule's neck, then turned to look at the ugly little donkey, and tangled: "But the donkey is too ugly and lazy, we use it to pull the cart, you can still sit after you put your luggage on it. The two of us?"
Gu Jingyun was silent for a moment, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the beautiful and gentle horse beside him.
Li Baolu also drooled at the horse, but her master often boasted to her that he used to have a jujube red horse, tall and majestic, running as fast as lightning, but unfortunately the horse was also divided up after he was caught, I just don't know who fell. hand.
Li Baolu has always dreamed of having a horse.
Gu Jingyun saw that she could not wait to put it on the horse's neck, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Forget it, then buy a mule. If you can't tame it, then sell it and buy a donkey."
A mule is a breed of a female horse and a male mule. It is more like a horse, so the price is also more expensive. Each one costs 25 taels, while donkeys and mules are cheaper. Li Baolu only needs 22 taels after bargaining with the horse dealer. .
paid the money, picked another car, and had it remodeled, just right for this mule.
Because it was going to be a long journey, Li Baolu also went to buy a large tarpaulin and asked someone to nail it to the roof of the car. If it rains, just put the tarpaulin down to block the rain.
When the sky was getting dark, the young couple finally got their travel tools ready, and Li Baolu happily drove the mule cart back to the inn.
The mule I just bought was still obedient, and ran forward obediently, but Gu Jingyun's face in the car was almost blue - he was turned upside down!
After all, Li Baolu had never learned to drive, so even if the roads in the city were smooth, Gu Jingyun almost vomited.
Li Baolu also discovered this problem and quickly reviewed: "I will take my car out of the city to practice tomorrow, and I must learn the technology well before the official departure."
Gu Jingyunqing nodded slowly with a face, "Stop at the intersection ahead, I'd better walk back slowly."
"...the inn is just ahead of the intersection."
Gu Jingyun got out of the car in grief and indignation. He definitely did not admit that he did not recognize the way, but was shaken and fainted!
Gu Jingyunqing entered the store with a face, but was startled by the crowd of people in the inn.
He could hear someone talking about the topic he was doing today, and saw some people arguing with others because of disagreements...
He realized something, turned around and walked out. He pulled Li Baolu who was about to enter the inn and said, "Let's enter the inn through the back door and give some reward money to the guy, so that he can hide our return to the inn."
Li Baolu glanced into the inn, and was equally startled, she hurriedly pulled Gu Jingyun to the back door, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll find the guy in a while, you just stay in the room and don't come out, I'll go to the street. I'll buy you something to eat."
Li Baolu is a woman, no one will recognize her as long as she makes some modifications. Thanks to the great defense of men and women, scholars will not stare at creatures whose gender is female.
Take Gu Jingyun back to the room and ask him to lock the door. Li Baolu immediately went to the street to buy two bowls of wontons and a few packets of dim sum, and then returned to the inn to catch a guy and let him take care of her mule and hide the news of their return. .
The guy glanced at the handful of copper plates in his hand, patted his chest and said, "Madam Gu, rest assured, with me, no one will think of Young Master Gu before the curfew."
Li Baolu breathed a sigh of relief and took the food back to the room.
After dinner, Gu Jingyun stayed in the room listening to the noise below, quite a kind of leisurely comfort of making tea and watching cranes while the wind and rain outside.
Holding a cup of hot tea, Li Baolu sighed comfortably, "Let's get up early tomorrow and go out. What if people are blocked in the room?" She will definitely not be able to squeeze Gu Jingyun with so many people by then. What if something goes wrong? ?
Gu Jingyun nodded, "But after this evening, everyone should calm down. Besides, the results of the hospital examination will be announced three days later, and it will not be long."
Gu Jingyun thought well. After a night of exciting discussions, the candidates calmed down a lot the next day.
There is no way, because most people slept until the third day, and some people just slept until the night. After three consecutive days of exams, everyone was already tired. Last night, they were discussing the answers and drinking and arguing, so they exhausted their energy. Well, it would be nice to wake up today.
And Gu Jingyun accompanied Li Baolu to practice driving early in the morning.
Li Baolu first went back to the bull market to ask the horse dealers, and wrote down all the precautions for driving before leaving the city.
In fact, driving is to communicate with his own mule, let it follow his heart, like an arm, Li Baolu is successful.
The mule was indeed very disobedient. As soon as he walked out of the city and saw a wide area, he spread his feet and ran away. Li Baolu held on to the reins tightly. The mule knelt down on its front legs.
The mule raised its head and roared, Li Baolu used her internal strength, stood firmly with her feet apart, pressed her hand down hard, and directly pulled its head down...
The went back and forth like this seven or eight times, and the mule knew that he could not compete with Li Baolu, so he slowly obeyed.
But it still rebels from time to time. What Li Baolu has to do is to compare her patience and endurance with it. Every time it loses her temper, she restrains her temper and directly presses it to her knees, making it immobile and yielding. , it can understand not to lose his temper.
