Chapter 917
Sitting on it, Qian said: "Isn't it just food? You are all young men, so just bring a few more quilts. We will prepare dry food for you, and it won't cost anything."
Then he said: "When you get to the capital, if the shop doesn't make much, you can go look for it and see if there is any work that you can do. Support yourself first. When we have money at home after the summer harvest, we will send you some."
Lao Zhoutou felt something was wrong, "Aren't you here to make money? Why do you have to add money to it?"
But the Zhou Dalang brothers thought it was normal and said, "Dad, you have to put seeds in the land first, and you have to spend money to buy a piece of land. This must be the same for doing business."
Qian glanced at him and said, "Your sons are more open-minded than you."
Old Zhoutou:......
After the matter was settled, Qian saw that Manbao was already yawning, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, go back to bed. I'll pack Manbao's luggage tomorrow and get ready to leave."
Everyone responded.
In fact, the busiest person is Xiao Qian, and others are not very helpful.
Man Bao could pack the books, clothes and other things he wanted to bring with him, but Wu Lang and the others had even less things to pack, so it didn't take half a day to pack them.
Xiao Qian, on the other hand, was reluctant to let Manbao and the others suffer on the road, so she had to go to great lengths to prepare some delicious and easy-to-carry food for them, and she also had to pickle some things for them to take to the capital to eat.
Finally, they packed up a pile of things. When the old Zhou family saw so many things, Qian said, "Let's buy a mule. It's hardworking and has enough leg power."
Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang went to the county town and bought a mule and a car.
But it’s not easy to carry so many things. After all, there are still people in the car, right?
Just when Lao Zhou was thinking about driving out the family's ox cart, Bai Shan came to the door with the servants of the Bai family, "...the family hired several mule carts to load things, such as these boxes.
It's hard to sit in the carriage, so why not put them on a trolley together."
Then he said to Manbao: "Let's sit together and talk about homework on the way."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly.
Talking about homework, three people sat in a car, opened all the windows and fixed them, raised the curtains, and then began to lie by the windows and look at the world outside. After a while,
The separation sorrow just now was completely forgotten.
Just thinking that they were going to the capital made the three of them extremely excited. Even though the road ahead was full of dangers, the three of them were full of fighting spirit and extremely happy.
Mr. Zhuang, who was sitting in the last carriage, obviously felt their excitement and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
The man driving Mr. Zhuang's carriage was Liu Lang, and Wu Lang drove his own mule cart behind him. Datou, Ertou and Erya were also lying on the carriage windows and looking out. It was obviously the familiar road into the county town.
, it was a scenery that they had seen countless times, but the three of them found it very novel, and felt that today’s flowers were particularly beautiful.
The capital city sounds very big and prosperous.
When they arrived in Luojiang County, they had to enter through the city gate on one side and go out through the city gate on the other side. Yang Heshu specially asked someone to watch them on the road. When they saw them arriving, they went back to notify him.
Yang Heshu asked someone to bring out two boxes, along with a letter and a gift note. "I prepared these two boxes for my relatives and friends in Beijing. When you arrive in Beijing, please help me deliver them to my home."
Bai Shan agreed and asked his servants to tie the box to the car.
Yang Heshu only exchanged greetings with Mr. Zhuang for a few words, then turned to look at Bai Shan and the other three. He sighed slightly and patted their shoulders and said, "Be low-key when you go to the capital. If you can bear it, bear with it."
Man Bao said: "I hear the capital is very scary."
Yang Heshu smiled and said: "It's not simple anyway."
Bai Shan nodded solemnly and said, "We have all noted it down, and we will be careful."
He turned his head and glanced at the two friends beside him, and said solemnly again: "I will watch them."
Man Bao and Bai Erlang couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's not clear who is looking at who."
Yang Heshu smiled, took a step back and said, "Let's set off as early as possible, otherwise we won't be able to reach Sutou in the evening."
Ms. Cui also came with her. She had two food boxes prepared and gave one to Man Bao, "I also have a letter here. If you feel bored when you first go to the capital, you can go and play with my sisters.
I have a cousin who is the twelfth child in the family and is about the same age as you."
Man Bao accepted it gratefully, and then the three of them said goodbye to Yang Heshu and Cui.
After getting on the bus again, the group of people felt a little sad, "I wonder if I can go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Daji, who was driving outside the car: ...it's already June 18th now. It will be almost July when they slowly arrive in the capital, and then they will stay for a month and then come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and finally go to Beijing again?
How busy are they?
Bai Shan should be more sober, "We are going to the Imperial College to study. The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is not enough time for us to go home, right?"
Bai Erlang: "Can I go home for the Chinese New Year?"
Man Bao calculated it and said, "It should be no problem."
Bai Shan said, "I think it's disgusting. Otherwise, why would my father take my grandmother with him when he went to the capital to study? Longzhou is closer to the capital than Mianzhou."
Only then did Man Bao think of another question and said "Hey": "Grandma Liu and the others are also going to Beijing. Then won't your home be in the capital from now on? You don't have to rush back to Qili Village."
Man Bao and Bai Erlang waited for Bai Shan with "you betrayed us" expressions on their faces.
Bai Shan was silent for a while and then decided to hurt each other with Man Bao, "Didn't your brothers and nephews follow you to the capital? You have more people in your family than I do."
Man Bao thought so too.
Bai Erlang stared at them.
The two of them felt slightly guilty, but they seemed to have thought of something and looked at him together, "Isn't your eldest brother also in the capital?"
Bai Erlang stared slightly, then remembered this, "Yes, my eldest brother seems to be in the capital."
Bai Shan and Man Bao:......
Bai Erlang clapped his hands in annoyance and said: "It's over, I forgot to bring something for my elder brother."
Man Bao and Bai Shan reluctantly comforted him, "It's okay. When you get off the car at the next place, just buy something and say you brought it from home."
"is this okay?"
Bai Shandao: "It's better than going empty-handed, right?"
During the lunch break, Bai Erlang asked Gao Cheng Gaosong, the steward who came with him this time, "I'm going to buy something for my elder brother at the next place."
Gao Song quickly asked, "What does the second young master want to buy for the eldest young master?"
Bai Erlang said distressedly: "I don't know, but I have to bring something to my elder brother when I go home, right?"
Only then did Gao Song understand. He paused for a long time before saying: "Second Young Master, less than half of the things in our car are prepared for the eldest young master. Don't you know?"
This time it was Bai Erlang's turn to be surprised, "I don't know, and no one told me?"
The old lady Bai from Qili Village watched the carriage go away, and then she turned around and said, "Now that the two children have gone far away, my heart feels empty."
