Chapter 42
As Gu Yuanhui said, Gu Yunji received a letter from his family not long after, asking him to rush back to attend Gu Yunxiao's wedding before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Gu Kaizhen said in the letter that the reason why Gu Yunxiao's process of discussing relatives seemed a little hasty was that he had been a little lonely since he failed the exam, and couldn't cheer up anything.

Let him get married quickly, one is to divert his attention and quickly cheer up; the other is that after getting married, Gu Yunxiao will be considered concerned, and will no longer focus on the imperial examination as before. If you fail the ranking, your whole body will collapse.

Gu Kaizhen also praised Gu Yunji in the letter, saying that he is promising, and he worshiped Xu Chengyu, the head of the mountain, as his teacher just a few months after he arrived at Luxi Academy, and he was also valued by the emperor, which made him very gratified as a father .

But at the same time, he told Gu Yunji to relax, don't put too much pressure on himself, he seemed very afraid that Gu Yunji would follow in Gu Yunxiao's footsteps.

Luxi Academy does not have a summer vacation like the school in the previous life. Except for the Spring Festival, there are not many festivals in the first half of the year, so the holiday is extended during the Dragon Boat Festival, so that students who are close can go home to visit relatives.

Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and Su Qi's whereabouts had not yet been determined, he climbed onto the shoulders of Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan boredly: "How are you going to spend the Dragon Boat Festival holiday? Wouldn't it be to stay in the academy to study? That would be too boring."

Gu Yunji replied: "I want to go home, my elder brother is getting married. What about you? Aren't you going home?"

"My home is in the capital city, it's too far away, and I spend all my time on the road, not to mention my father is at the border, what am I going to do by myself?" Su Qi shook his head, and suddenly became excited again, "Yunji, your elder brother is married Can I go?"

Gu Yunji was worried that he was acting on a whim, and said: "My home is in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture. Although it is not as far away as the capital city, it is not close. What's more, my small family is not as luxurious as your Dingguo Mansion. Can you get used to it?" ?”

Su Qi patted him dissatisfied: "Am I the kind of young man who doesn't touch the sun with his fingers? You look down on me so much! If you don't let me go, leave Cheng Yan behind. Someone has to stay with me in the academy anyway."

Cheng Yan smiled and said, "I haven't seen my family for a long time, and I have to go home this Dragon Boat Festival."

Hearing this, Su Qi became interested again: "Where is your home? I can go back with you!"

Cheng Yan pointed to Gu Yunji, and said, "Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, I'm from the same town as him."

"You guys are from the same town! Why didn't I know?" Now Su Qi quit, "You all go back to Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, and I want to go too! I can't leave me alone in the academy."

Cheng Yan said: "You have to think about it, the mountain is high and the road is far away, you can't go back on your word." Then, he turned to Gu Yunji, "Since your eldest brother is getting married, I would like to go and see it, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Looking at the two pairs of expectant eyes in front of him, Gu Yunji smiled helplessly: "Then you all come. Su Qi will live in my house then, but I have to write a letter to tell my father in advance so that he can be good at hospitality." Prepare."

Su Qi immediately smiled when he heard the words, and urged the two of them: "Then Cheng Yan, hurry up and order a carriage, and Gu Yunji and I will tell Mr. Xu that I will neither go to his place to fight crickets this Dragon Boat Festival, nor will Gu Yunji go to hand in homework. Already!"

Not long after Gu Yunji sent the letter, he received a reply from his family. Gu Kaizhen naturally welcomed Gu Yunji to take two of his classmates home to attend Gu Yunxiao's wedding, saying that he had packed up the guest room for the guests. They are careful all the way.

So on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Yunji and the others packed their luggage and set off on their way home.

Along the way, Su Qi was curious about everything he saw. When he arrived at Huating County, he clicked his tongue and said, "As expected of Jiangnan, not only is the scenery beautiful, but also so rich. Your small county is even more prosperous than the prefectures in northern Xinjiang!"

Cheng Yan said with a smile: "You grew up in the capital, and you haven't seen anything. In terms of prosperity, which place can compare to the capital?"

Su Qi disagreed: "The prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River is naturally not as good as that of the capital city, but the customs and customs are quite different. I didn't look carefully when I went to the academy to report to the academy. It was only along the way that I realized that the south of the Yangtze River is so outstanding." As he said, he He poked his own face, "After staying in Jiangnan for a few months, I feel like I'm fresh."

Seeing his narcissistic look, Gu Yunji suddenly laughed, and was about to tease a few words, when Su Qi pointed to the front and said: "There are a lot of people standing outside the city gate, and there seems to be a man in official uniform staring at him all the time." Our carriage."

Gu Yunji looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a man in a green official uniform and several officials standing at the gate of the city, stretching their necks and looking at their carriage slowly passing by.

"County magistrate Chen Rong?" Gu Yunji asked suspiciously, "Why are they standing here?"

Cheng Yan shook his head: "I don't know, it doesn't look like they are checking the passing personnel, but they seem to be waiting for us."

Sure enough, when the carriage stopped at the gate of the city and saw Gu Yunji and the others getting off the carriage, Chen Rong immediately put on a smile: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Cheng, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Gu Yunji bowed to him: "The student has met the county magistrate. I don't know why the lord wants us?"

"No, no." Chen Rong quickly waved his hand, "I heard that Young Master Gu is getting married, thinking that you will definitely come back, Young Master Gu, and Young Master Cheng may also take this opportunity to go home and visit relatives together. You will arrive in a few days, so come here and wait for the two of you."

As he spoke, he looked at Su Qi at the side and asked, "Who is this?"

"He is the son of Duke Ding, Su Qi."

The smile on Chen Rong's face suddenly flattered a little, and his tone was flattering: "It turned out to be Su Shizi, but the lower officials didn't recognize it, disrespectful, disrespectful."

Su Qi cupped his hands: "My lord speaks seriously. Su Qi has neither an official position nor a title, so I can't afford such an honorable title. Besides, you and I have never seen each other before, so of course my lord can't recognize him."

Chen Rong's expression froze for a moment, and he said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty is right, it's because I used the wrong words for a while."

Gu Yunji really felt that Chen Rong's behavior of coming to pick them up today was very strange, so he said, "What is your lord's business, you want to wait for us at the gate of the city? If you have something to do, you may as well just say it."

"There is nothing important to talk about. Mr. Gu and Mr. Cheng are both young talents, and they are among the best in the academy. Mr. Gu, you have been received by His Majesty, not to mention Mr. Su, who came with you to show your respect for talents." Take it seriously, it is normal for me to come and pick it up in person.”

Seeing that everyone seemed to be in disbelief, Chen Rong had no choice but to hesitate and said: "Mr. Gu, I have a younger brother. Although he is not a genius, he is not stupid. He accidentally missed the enrollment of Luxi Academy. Xu Shanchang, please accommodate me?"

"You are Xu Shanzhang's direct disciple, and you must be able to speak easily. Please, Mr. Gu, pass on the post for me." As he spoke, he took out two more bank notes and stuffed them into the hands of Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan respectively. There is Mr. Cheng, the head of the mountain has always valued you. Please help me, a small thank you is not a respect."

Afterwards, he glanced at Su Qi next to him. After all, he still didn't prepare the third bank note, so he turned his head and smiled flatteringly at the two of them.

Gu Yunji glanced at the denomination of the silver note: 1000 taels.Quite willing.

It is false to miss the admission, but it is true to fail to deliver the article without the entrance.As soon as he heard that Gu Yunji was a disciple of the head of the mountain, Cheng Yan's outstanding grades were valued by the head of the mountain, but Chen Rong was so generous in giving money.

Gu Yunji understood, and he put the silver ticket back into Chen Rong's hand: "Master Chen, I will pass on the post for you, but you don't need the money. My teacher is upright and has his own ideas. If he makes up his mind, I can't change it even if I say a hundred words."

He accepted the post because he agreed to do something for Chen Rong's face, but he returned the bank note because he did not guarantee that the thing would be done.

Cheng Yan smiled lightly, and returned the silver ticket: "Since Brother Ling is talented, I believe that even if the head of the mountain is not accommodating this time, he will definitely be admitted to the academy next time. Master Chen doesn't have to worry about it."

Gu Yunji said: "Thank you for your kindness today, my elder brother will get married some other day, and I will invite you to attend the wedding and say goodbye." After finishing speaking, regardless of the other party's reaction, he left with a few people.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Cheng, this..." Seeing the backs of several people walking away, Chen Rong had no choice but to give up.

Looking at the banknote that was returned in his hand, Chen Rong was a little discouraged.If he hadn't run into a wall with Gu Kaizhen a few days ago, would he have come to beg these two boys?
Unexpectedly, these two are the same, oil and salt do not enter.
