368 Visiting Mr. Xu (3 more)
"The young master just went to the main courtyard."
Song Wanyue raised her foot and wanted to go to the main courtyard. After thinking about it, she turned back to Master Chu's courtyard. Gu Yi asked the eldest brother when he would go and leave. He probably wanted to go with him.
Master Chu is still in the yard.
"Ask?"
"He is not here, I will ask again when I'm having lunch."
Master Chu didn't say anything, turned around and entered the house, and Song Wanyue continued to practice swordsmanship.
At noon, Gu Yi was still not seen, and Song Wanyue didn't take it seriously. Maybe Mr. Gu had something to ask him to do it.
But a day passed, and she didn't see Gu Yi until the evening. Song Wanyue felt puzzled and went to find Dr. Yao before leaving at night, "Is something wrong in the mansion?"
"The eldest lady and her son-in-law died in a car accident on the way back."
This was beyond her expectations and even within her expectations.
Unexpectedly, it was because she didn't expect that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu really made such cruelty. After all, Gu Hui was their daughter. It was because she thought that they would not have a good ending when they knew that Gu Hui and Mo An had planned Gu Yi.
"How many days does he need to stay there?"
Gu Hui is dead, Gu Yi is the younger brother, and he must watch Gu Hui's coffin be buried.
"Seven days, today is the first day."
I can't wait. The spring exam is the ninth day of the second lunar month, and today is the 27th day of the first lunar month. At the latest, they have to set off the day after tomorrow. When they get there, they have to rent a house and watch the examination room.
"Master Chu said that only he agreed to follow the capital and promised me to accompany my elder brother. Can you send someone to send him a letter and ask him to say to Master Chu, let us go first, and he will follow him."
"I'll send someone here."
The next day, Master Chu received a reply from Gu Yi, and she responded to Song Wanyue's leave, "Young Master Gu said he would send someone to escort you, so I won't accompany you. When you come back, let him send me a message."
...
The Song family was busy and prepared things for Song Si and Song Wanyue on the road. Song Lin even wiped the carriage at home over and over again, thinking that he could go to the capital with him, and was both excited and excited.
The spring exam was colder than during the autumn exam, and Xu and Liu Cuilan prepared slightly thicker bedding and clothes for Song Si.
Grandma Song called Song Si, who had just returned from the academy, into the house and gave him five thousand taels of silver. "Yue'er said that the family was poor and the family would be rich, so bring more to prevent something from happening."
Song Si took it and took it out not long after, Song Wanyue came in, "Grandma, let me discuss something for you."
"No need to discuss, just say it."
"I want to bring all the money I have at home."
The words were not enough and it reached the throat. Grandma Song swallowed it back. Since Yue'er had to take it all, she naturally had her plans, "What are you going to do?"
Song Wanyue stood on tiptoe and whispered in her ear.
Grandma Song's eyes widened, "You want to buy a house in the capital."
"Shh..."
Song Wanyue signaled her to whisper, "I'm buying it for my elder brother. Grandma think about it. If my elder brother really wins the top scorer, he will stay in the capital to be an official in the future. He can't let him rent a house."
Grandma Song's heart was about to jump out, and she never even thought about buying a house for Song Si in the capital. The capital was under the feet of the emperor, and the house was not as expensive as gold.
"But grandma said those silver notes were left for you."
"Of course I can't give it to my elder brother for nothing. When I buy a house, I will ask him to write an IOU and ask him to return the money he bought the house to me year by year."
Grandma Song was so moved that she immediately took out all the silver notes in the box and gave them to her. Song Wanyue went back to the house and took out the silver notes in her hand and sewed them in various parts of her clothes.
Before dawn the next day, Song Lin got up and fed the horses, wiped the carriage again. When he heard his movements, his family got up one after another, and was about to put Song Si's things on the carriage, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the door.
Song San jogged to open the door.
Outside the door were three carriages, each carriage followed two servants holding horses except the coachman.
"Master Song San, we took the order of the young master to send Miss Song and Juren to the capital."
Hearing the words, Song Lin immediately ran out, looking at the fat and strong tall horse in front of him, and swallowed it if he wanted to refuse, but he was still a little angry. Since he had planned to go and send it to him, why didn't he say it in advance, which made him happy for a long time.
"Master Song."
Song Lin nodded and said unhappyly, moved back to the yard, without even the intention of helping Song Si move things.
Xu naturally knew what he was thinking. After helping to move the things to the carriage outside, he came back to comfort him, "When I have the chance in the future, I will accompany you to the capital."
The capital is not far from Qingping County, only 300 miles away. It used to be because the family had no money, and I never thought about it. In the future, if the family has money, I can really go and have a look if I have time.
Song Lin was stubborn, "I don't want to go play, I'm worried about Yue'er. Si'er entered the exam room, but she's the only one left."
"I know, I'm not at ease, but didn't Yi'er say that, he rushed over soon. Besides, there are so many people from the Gu family to protect him, it's okay."
"Dad, mom, my elder brother and I are leaving."
Xu dragged Song Lin to the door and reminded Song Wanyue again.
Song Wanyue repeatedly promised that she would not run around after Song Si entered the examination room. Xu was relieved and watched them get on the carriage and quickly left.
I went to the capital at noon and stayed in a hotel at night. I went to Beijing on the evening of the sixth day of the lunar month. I inquired along the way and found the most prosperous inn in Beijing - the high school building. The inn was almost full, and all the students came to take the exam, and the price was amazingly expensive. It cost fifty taels of silver to go to a room for one night.
Song Si thought it was expensive and asked the servant to continue inquiring. Finally, he found a slightly remote one and asked for two upper rooms and several ordinary rooms.
"Brother, this capital is different."
After Song Wanyue put down her things, she came to Song Si's room, poured a glass of water and drank it, and said with great enthusiasm.
Song Si lowered his head and sorted out his things, "What we see is only a corner of the capital. After I finish the exam, I will take you a good look and experience the scenery of the capital."
The dean talked a lot about the capital to Song Si, and Song Si remembered it in his heart.
"Okay, let's go to the exam room tomorrow. After the exam, my elder brother will accompany me around the neighborhood first. After riding in the carriage that has been around for so many days, I have grown hair."
Song Siswan, "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow. My elder brother is going to visit Mr. Xu. He is a contemporary scholar and the dean's teacher. He is already in his seventies. This time I went to Beijing, the dean specifically told me that I would definitely go and pay my respects, and asked me to bring something to the dean."
Song Wanyue nodded.
Seeing that she didn't listen to the words she remembered, Song Si was really worried, "You go with me tomorrow."
