Chapter 150 Arrival in the Capital
Gu Jingyun is young and has very keen senses.
He turned his head, touched Gu Huaizhi's deep and thoughtful eyes, and lowered the car curtains.
As he was leaving his hometown where he was born and raised today, Gu Jingyun couldn't sleep well at night.
When his mother came in, he pretended to be asleep.
He fell asleep in a daze, and his mother stayed by his bedside for most of the night.
This unusual behavior made him very uneasy.
As if dreaming, he grabbed my mother's hand and called vaguely: "Mother..."
Gu's mother seemed to be startled, she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, and said in a nasal voice: "Jingyun, are you awake? Mother is disturbing you?"
Gu Jingyun stared at Gu's mother in the darkness for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"You continue to sleep. Mom just wants to see if your things are packed." Mother Gu tucked him in and gently patted his chest: "Sleep a little longer, it will be dawn soon." Leave these words, Then left the room.
Gu Jingyun listened attentively for a long time before the sound of Gu's mother's retreating footsteps could be heard outside.
This incident lingered in his mind, and Gu Jingyun couldn't sleep anymore, thinking repeatedly about Gu's mother's gaffe.
It wasn't until dawn that he found a reason. Maybe he wanted to leave his hometown, and his mother felt uneasy, so she came to his room in the middle of the night to see how he was doing?
But with the look in his eldest brother's eyes, Gu Jingyun couldn't help but think too much.
"Brother, when I dropped out of school, my master said that it would be difficult to live in the capital. If you go to Beijing to take the exam, there is no need to drag your family and family to the capital. The capital is expensive and has a lot of talents. We are the best in Xihe Town, but in the capital Maybe you will be lost in public. If you don't have enough money, we will drag you down." Gu Jingyun straightened his body and said with a serious expression on his face: "I thought about it for a long time, brother, I said my handwriting is very good. I won’t go to school for now. I can make money by copying books in a bookstore and I can study at the same time. Then you can help me go to school.”
Gu Jingyun thought about it, maybe it was about his studies.
In his mind, the capital was a money-burning place and his family was very poor.
"What if I fail to pass the Jinshi examination?" Gu Huaizhi saw his worried and nervous look and couldn't help teasing him: "Are you going to continue copying books for three years?"
Gu Jingyun grimaced: "Master said that if you pass the examination, you can become a minor official."
"oops!"
Gu Huaizhi reached out and flicked Gu Jingyun's forehead.
Gu Jingyun covered his forehead, moved towards Su Wan, and complained: "Sister-in-law, brother bullied me."
"Let me take a look." Su Wan took Gu Jingyun's hand away. There was no mark on his forehead. His eyes were red, and he knew in his heart that this little guy suddenly left his hometown and went to a strange place. He felt very uneasy. She put her arms around Gu Jingyun's narrow shoulders and said softly: "Second brother, don't be afraid. No matter where we go, we are together as a family. Don't worry that our family has no money for you to study. Our family has a house in the capital. If you have a shop and can buy two servants to serve you, you will be a rich young master."
Gu Jingyun's eyes widened. Their... sister-in-law was actually so rich? !
But--
Su Wan saw through his concerns: "Our medical clinic and restaurant in Xihe Town will not be closed just because we arrive in the capital. We have money every month, so don't worry about us sitting on nothing."
After Gu Jingyun digested the news that they were not short of money, he couldn't help but glance at Gu's mother aside, his face full of confusion.
Gu’s mother is not sure where she is right now?
She stayed in Gu Jingyun's room until midnight last night, which made the child uneasy.
"Mom was worried that you and your sister wouldn't get used to it. I saw you sleeping uneasily last night, so I just stayed up late at night." Gu's mother lovingly touched Gu Jingyun's head, worried that once she entered the capital, Gu Jingyun's life experience would be hidden.
When her youngest son was ill, the doctor in the town said that he could not be cured, but she refused to give up and went to the county seat. He died before he reached the county seat. It was raining lightly that day, and the dark clouds were about to fall. She knelt down and sat on the roadside with her child in her arms, crying until her heart broke.
Later, she met a seriously injured old woman. She was holding a swaddling baby in her arms. The child seemed to be about the same age as her little son.
The old woman entrusted the child to her and told her that if she was willing to raise the child, she must not ask him to go to Beijing, and she was not allowed to obtain academic honors.
Gu's mother experienced the pain of losing her son. The old woman died, and the child cried loudly. Gu's mother couldn't bear it, so she adopted the child and raised her as her own son.
She had always followed the old woman's last words, but Gu Huaizhi insisted on letting Gu Jingyun study and pursue an official career.
He said: "What should happen will happen one day. If we don't escape, we can live in peace. It's just deceiving ourselves and others."
"My second brother is so talented and intelligent, how can I bear to let him live in inaction for the rest of his life?"
Gu's mother couldn't bear it, so she relaxed.
He was unwilling to go to Beijing before, firstly because of his inner obsession, and secondly because of concern for Gu Jingyun's life experience.
But Gu Jingyun was going to pursue an official career and would have to go to Beijing sooner or later, so she gritted her teeth and took the risk.
You may not recognize it.
Gu Huaizhi said, "You were looking out the window in a daze just now. Could it be that you were reluctant to give up?"
Facing everyone's concerned looks, Gu Jingyun understood in his heart that their abnormality turned out to be that they really cared about him!
With a muffled "um", he huddled in the corner, burying his face in his knees and pretending to sleep.
So shameful.
The carriage stopped and Jiuge opened the curtain and came in.
"Little sister!" Jiuge saw Su Wan's surprised smile and greeted Gu's mother and others one by one. She sat down next to Su Wan, her clear eyes full of expectation: "Let's go now. Capital City?”
"Yes, I'll take you to find Jiu Yu." Su Wan looked at Jiu Ge. After nearly a month of recuperation, he had put on some flesh and his skin was fairer. He was a beautiful woman. "How was your stay at Qingfeng Mountain?"
"I'm very happy. My brother and sister are all doing well!" Jiuge smiled pure and asked reluctantly: "Are they going back to the capital together?"
Su Wan: "Go back."
"Miss, we will ride with you on horseback." Qi Guang's loud voice sounded outside.
Su Wan opened the curtain and saw Qi Jiajun getting ready to go. Hu's thin figure was standing at the mountain intersection not far away, very lonely. When she saw Su Wan, her eyes lit up instantly. Clenching her fists with both hands, she seemed to have found the courage and ran over.
"Ms. Gu, can I, can I accompany you to Beijing? I, I know I'm useless, but I, I can help you with the housework." Mrs. Hu held her breath, nervously picking at the corner of her clothes, looking straight He stared at Su Wan without any cowardly dodge.
Su Wan looked at the brave Mr. Hu and smiled slightly: "Okay, follow me to the capital. You may not be safe and clean in Qingfeng Mountain."
"My life was given by you, and I just want to follow you." Madam Hu heard a lot about Su Wan in Qingfeng Mountain, and knew that she was going through all kinds of difficulties, so Madam Hu wanted to repay her kindness.
Su Wan really needed manpower to bring Mrs. Hu along.
The group went north to the capital and stayed in Fucheng for a day. By the time they arrived in the capital, it was already the morning of the fifth day.
