After seeing Gu Jingyun's name in the first round of the list, the little guy ran back excitedly to report to Shopkeeper He.

Although shopkeeper He didn't expect Gu Jingyun to be the first in the exam, he didn't care too much. After all, the county exam was just a small exam at the beginning of the imperial examination, and this was only the first round. However, Gu Jingyun won the first place in three consecutive rounds. The shopkeeper doesn't pay attention.

Even though Gu Jingyun's final score is only third, but those candidates can see the tricks, shopkeeper He, who has been in the mall for a long time, is like an old fritters, he can't see it?

Especially after learning that Gu Jingyun accepted the result calmly, without anger or fuss, he paid more attention to it.

This person is talented, has a heart, and can bend and stretch. In the end, if he doesn't become a hero, he will definitely become a hero. Anyway, he won't be an ordinary person.

Even if such a person does not flatter, he must not offend him.

Therefore, when Li Baolu came again, Shopkeeper He entertained her with 120,000 points of enthusiasm.

This made Li Baolu quite flattered, although Gu Jingyun said that they are mutually beneficial, this is the investment of Baolai, and the favors they received today will definitely be repaid in the future, not to mention that these favors are not worth mentioning for Baolai.

But Li Baolu never thinks this way, favors should be judged from the side receiving, and should not be calculated from the side giving.

A beggar who was about to starve to death lay down on the side of the road begging. A rich man kindly gave him a bowl of porridge and saved his life. To the rich man, the bowl of porridge was just a drop in the bucket. Said it saved his life.

In the future, if a beggar has the ability to repay his kindness, should he just return a bowl of porridge?

So she couldn't accept Shopkeeper He's fawning as she should.

Shopkeeper He also noticed her uneasiness, and quickly got to the point: "The ship departs the day after tomorrow, and Mr. Gu will be at the port at Chenshi. I don't know if you will make it in time. We still have a boat that departs in five days. You can also take that trip." But that boat has to go to Leizhou Mansion first, and there are quite a few stops along the way."

There are many ships on the Baolai, and there are also many goods that need to be purchased. Similarly, the routes are also different. The ship that Li Baolu is interested in stops at Guanghaiwei for half a day to replenish water and then departs. It is the fastest way to Guangzhou. Boat.

But he was leaving the day after tomorrow. Shopkeeper He felt that Gu Jingyun might not be able to make it in time. He had just finished the exam, and he not only had to rest, but also to socialize and pack his luggage...

There are many candidates who want to take the Bora to take the exam, but most of them choose the boat five days later.

Unexpectedly, Li Baolu said happily: "Then we will take the boat the day after tomorrow, and we must arrive at the port before Chen Shi."

Their things are so little, they have already packed them up, as long as they are tidy.

Gu Jingyun also went out to socialize for a long time, and when he got home, he closed the door and packed together with Li Baolu, put all the things on the cart, and the two of them could board the boat by pushing the cart.

On the day of departure, the wind was sunny and the waves were crashing on the shore. Gu Jingyun slowly exhaled at the sea where the sky and water merged, turned his head to look in the direction of home, and said proudly: "If you come back, you will be happy." It is to pick up uncle and the others to leave."

Li Baolu nodded again and again, looking at the other side of the sea with sparkling eyes, full of excitement, they are about to leave Qiongzhou to venture into the world, hahahaha, Jianghu, the world, here I come!

Sensing the mood swings of the people around him, Gu Jingyun glanced at her condescendingly, and walked to the boat first, urging: "Let's go, don't make people wait."

Li Baolu immediately jolted behind him pushing the cart.

Shopkeeper He was checking the goods to make sure nothing was missing, so the two of them were led into the cabin by a young man.

The young man respectfully said to the two of them: "Young Master Gu, this is your cabin. If you see anything missing in the cabin, let me know, and I will prepare it for you."

Gu Jingyun glanced at the things in the room, pointed to Li Baolu and asked, "Where does she live?"

"Well," the little guy looked at Li Baolu, and said a little nervously: "She is Mr. Gu's girl, and she should serve you personally, but if she wants to live alone, it's fine, so I'll go ask the shopkeeper under the instruction."

"No need, just let her live with me," Gu Jingyun said, "But she is not my girl, but my wife."

The boy opened his mouth wide, looked at the thin and fair Gu Jingyun, and then at the dark but childish Li Baolu, he closed his mouth after a while, turned around and left in a daze.

Li Baolu jokingly pushed Gu Jingyun, "I see you scare people."

Gu Jingyun said seriously: "I treat you like a maid, I'm afraid that my aunt will beat me to death when I go back, so I quickly pack up my things and put them away, we're going to live on the boat for several days."

Shopkeeper He couldn't help but drop his jaw when he learned that Li Baolu was Gu Jingyun's daughter-in-law. He didn't expect that Gu Jingyun would get married so early, and whoever had such a big heart would let two half-aged children go to the exam together ?

Even if the adults in the family can't spare time, there should be a clan brother or something to take care of them, right?

Although shopkeeper He was busy, he still took time out of his busy schedule to look at the young couple, saying that he could just look to them for anything, and treated Gu Jingyun even more differently after talking.

When Gu Jingyun faced him, he neither despised him nor was he short of breath. Instead, he asked him about the affairs of Guangzhou like a friend talking, ranging from the current officials in Guangzhou to the small number of towns and cities in Guangzhou, the restaurants and inns with good reputation, the famous Food, etc., talk about almost everything, and the attitude is not humble, but it is not arrogant.

More than an hour passed before he knew it. If the buddy was not wandering around the door to report something, he might not have noticed the passage of time.

Shopkeeper He and the steward sighed: "It's really a formidable future generation. It's really amazing that Qiongzhou Mansion can produce such a character."

The steward bent down and said, "Why don't we give them another three points? We can also cover their board and lodging after they disembark. If you can, please go home for a while..."

Shopkeeper He shook his head, "It's too late, let's not talk about Mr. Gu, even his little wife is afraid that he doesn't love it, so it's better to keep it as it is. After the ship arrives in Guangzhou, I will give him a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and leave a famous card from Zhang He's family. Just do it."

The manager responded, and the two of them started talking about business.

Gu Jingyun pulled Li Baolu to stand on the deck and looked at the endless sea. The sea breeze blew through his robes, making a whirring sound. He couldn't help but knocked on the railing and asked, "You said that we will go to the hospital after the trial?" where?"

"Go to the capital," Li Baolu asked in amazement, "Didn't it be planned to go to the capital early in the morning?"

Gu Jingyun was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't want to go to the capital city, my household registration is in Qiongzhou, and the rural examination is to be taken in Guangzhou, and next year is the year of the Dabi, if I go back to the capital, I'm afraid I have to go south to take the rural examination before my butt is hot The most important thing is that we are not sure whether we can come out again after returning to the capital."

A cold light flashed in Gu Jingyun's eyes and said: "If I were the Gu family, I would definitely not let me have a chance to stand out."

Li Baolu asked in a daze: "Then where are we going?"

Gu Jingyun was silent, and after a long time he said: "Go to Hangzhou, He Chong, the governor of Zhejiang, is his aunt's cousin, let's meet him."

Li Baolu's heart skipped a beat, and she persuaded dryly, "I, I haven't heard my uncle and aunt mention him. We might as well go to Hunan to find Uncle Chen."

Chen Tong, the prefect of Hunan Province, was Qin Xinfang's classmate and good friend. Because he interceded for Qin Xinfang, he was demoted again and again.

Gu Jingyun rubbed her head with a smile and said: "Silly boy, it is because of his attitude that we don't know He Chong that we are going to meet him. Uncle Chen is already on our side, so what's the use of going to see him again?"

Li Baolu opened her mouth, and Gu Jingyun calmly analyzed with her: "Uncle has a lot of contacts in his hands. It's not that these people have tried hard, but none of them can help Uncle get rid of the crime. Obviously, the existing contacts are not enough. We have to find more. Power, gather more power."

"But why do you persuade him? If even my aunt can't..."

"Auntie is a family relationship, so I will lure her for profit. You have to meet me before you give up."

Li Baolu saw that his eyes were full of persistence, and he looked like he was determined to win, so she had to compromise, "But if there is danger, you have to listen to me. If I say go, you must follow me."

Gu Jingyun nodded with a smile, "Don't worry."

Li Baolu rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not worried at all."
