Chapter 79

The shop is not far from their courtyard in Shenjia Village. It is a piece of land specially bought by Shen Jingcheng. It is about ten acres in size. Shops, with a small courtyard behind every two shops.

Because they built a lot of shops, their original hilltop was not full of bluestones, so Shen Jingcheng specially bought another hilltop full of bluestones just to build these yards.

Now the shops on the north side of the street have been built as high as a person, and the foundations are already being laid on the south side.

"Sister, do you think we can build so many shops so that someone can come to do business?" Gu Xiu looked at the busy craftsmen and asked Gu Jin.

"No one comes, so let's do it ourselves." Gu Jin counted his fingers and began to say to her: "Look, we grow whole grains ourselves, we can open a seed shop, there are so many fruit trees on our mountain, we can Open a fruit shop, and you can buy your own goods and open a grocery store for oil and salt, a cloth shop..."

Gu Jin counted them one by one, Gu Xiu's eyes lit up, and before Gu Jin could finish speaking, he eagerly continued, "There is still Xiu Zhuang."

"Okay, I'll also give you two shops to open an embroidery shop." Gu Jin responded with a smile.

"Really, really give it to me?" Gu Xiu said with eyes full of surprise.

She doesn't have any hobbies, but likes to play with those brightly colored embroidered cloths.

"Here, I'll treat it as a dowry for you." Gu Jin said jokingly.

"Nonsense." Gu Xiu's small face flushed with shame, "I don't want to marry."

"Is there anyone who doesn't marry?" Gu Jin looked at her with a sigh: "Even if you are willing, I am willing, the court will not let you.

"Then. Then you marry me someone who is close to you." Gu Xiu frowned and said.

She didn't want to leave Gu Jin. This was the only person who treated her well. Leaving Gu Jin made her flustered.

"Oh, how can I give up." Gu Jin said with a sore heart.

People have feelings, and after being together for so many years, she has already put this younger sister in her heart, how can she be willing to let her marry those farmers who can't read big characters and can only work hard, no matter what, she has to find a future for her, no Who made her work so hard!
"I knew that Sister would miss me." Gu Xiu didn't see the melancholy in Gu Jin's eyes, they were full of joy, and she didn't have any imagination about her future partner.

She has gone through the worst things in the world, and there is no one in this world who is more worthy of her trust than Gu Jin.

After seeing the progress of the shop, the group set foot on the road to Fucheng westward.

Shenjia Village is not far from the Fucheng, and after only one day of walking, they saw the Fucheng that seemed to be built on a mountain.

"Wow, this city gate is so high," Gu Xiu couldn't help exclaiming quietly when passing through the tall city gate.

Gu Jin looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

After entering Fucheng, Shen Jingcheng took a group of people directly to the inn that had been booked, and after a night's rest, he took Gu Jin and Gu Xiu to the street.
Gu Jin has seen the prosperity of the capital, so he is not so interested in the shops here, but Gu Xiu has never seen it before. Looking at the various embroidery threads and fabrics in those embroidery shops, he can't put it down.

Because they had plans in mind, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng also paid special attention to some embroidery shops that sold Fengguan Xiapei, and finally found a fairly satisfactory one in a relatively large embroidery shop, but the price was also heart-pounding.

However, when Shen Jingcheng saw that she liked to open her mouth, she bought it, and Gu Jin grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing, this is almost as fast as our harvest for the first season." Gu Jin whispered away from the shopkeeper.

"So what, it's only once in a lifetime, so of course I have to satisfy you." Shen Jingcheng asked the shopkeeper to wrap it up as he spoke.

Gu Xiu stared at the side, and after a long time, she suddenly realized what Shen Jingcheng was going to buy for the wedding dress, and turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Bag bag. Wrap it up." Of course her sister deserves the best.

It was the first time for the shopkeeper to see someone buying a wedding dress like this, so he immediately wrapped up the wedding dress happily. Gu Xiu immediately took it and hugged it in his arms, and then picked up the silk thread.

The shopkeeper saw her picking up the thread, and immediately smiled and said, "If the girl likes it, I can give you one of each of these threads."

"Really?" Gu Xiu didn't choose any more at first, and immediately asked her to pack the silk thread. After finishing, she held the wedding dress and silk thread and waited for Shen Jingcheng to pay the money.

Gu Jin couldn't help but smile seeing her like that, Shen Jingcheng shook his head and was speechless.

He was buying a wedding dress for Ah Jin, and the result was good, the girl was able to get a silk thread as a gift.

Coming out of Xiuzhuang, the group wandered the street for a long time before returning to the inn.

The third day was the day of the government examination. Gu Jin and Gu Xiu sent Shen Jingcheng to the Gong Yuan, and they didn't turn back to the inn until they saw him walk in.

The days of waiting seemed a bit difficult, when Shen Jingcheng came out of the Gongyuan a few days later, his eyes were blue.

"How is it? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Jin looked at the black eyes under his eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him with concern.

Didn't you see how many people fell there as soon as they left the tribute courtyard?Although Shen Jingcheng has kung fu background, he can't be careless.

Being supported by her, Shen Jingcheng felt warm in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "No, I just feel sleepy and want to sleep."

"Then let's go back quickly, I've found a doctor and I'm waiting." Gu Jin said and got into the carriage waiting not far away with him, and told the servant to hurry to the inn.

When he arrived at the inn, the doctor immediately stepped forward and left after seeing that he had nothing to do except being tired, but Gu Jin did not let him go to sleep immediately, but asked the maid to bring him a bowl of Shiquanbu soup that had been prepared earlier. That's it, let him go to sleep.

Before going to bed, Shen Jingcheng dragged her to the bed together and asked her to accompany him, and Gu Jin let him sleep peacefully with his arms around him.

In the past few days, because she has been worrying about how he will be in the Gongyuan, she has not slept well.

Three days later, the list was released, and Shen Jingcheng was indeed on the list. Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng led a group of people to have a big meal, and then set foot on the road back to Shenjia Village.

Within two days of returning to Shenjia Village, the county officials arrived to announce the good news. At the same time, the county magistrate of Qingshan County also sent invitations. Three days later, a banquet was held to invite all the students in the county who passed the exam.

Today's magistrate of Qingshan County is no longer Zhang Jingzhou. He was promoted and left a few years ago because he was registered with the emperor.Now the county magistrate was dispatched later, this person is not as easy-going as Zhang Jingzhou, but he has always been in peace.

Shen Jingcheng didn't see a pleasing student in Fucheng, so he also went to the banquet this time, trying to find a pleasing student as soon as possible and marry Gu Xiu.

However, even after going to the banquet, Shen Jingcheng didn't see anyone pleasing to the eye. He always felt that the best among those people could barely catch the eye. satisfy.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of melancholy that his sister-in-law was difficult to marry.
