Su Yu and Song Youming went to the car dealership together.
It's really not cheap to rent a carriage alone until you get back to Su Yu's house.
Two hundred coins.
You can stay in a nice guest room for one night in an inn in the inner city of Fucheng.
When Su Yu paid, he felt a little distressed.
Fortunately, Zhang Wenyuan just came on board and directly gave him writing fees.
Moreover, Song Youming, who was next to him, had booked another song with Su Yu.
In this way, even if there is not much left of the 300 coins from the marriage certificate, you don't have to worry about livelihood issues when you return home.
I paid the deposit and agreed on the time and place for pick-up tomorrow.
It's not too early.
Su Yu and Song Youming returned to the inn.
Most of the people living in this inn are scholars.
People without money live in Datongpu like Su Yu, or several people share a room together.
There are also some well-off families who are followed by bookboys and servants when they go in and out, and live in separate good rooms.
The environment in Datongpu was not very good. It happened that some people left on the same day after learning the results, leaving a few rooms vacant.
Su Yu was not stingy either, he directly changed to a separate guest room and ordered some water to wash up.
"Whether it's modern or ancient, you have to make more money."
"It's really hard to bear when you think about the big street pavilion..."
A group of smelly men are crowded together, and the taste is really not good.
There are various sounds of snoring and talking in sleep at night.
Thanks to Su Yu's good sleep, he was able to fall asleep in such an environment last night.
Tomorrow he was going to pick up Gu Changle and go home with him. Su Yu went to bed early.
Early the next morning.
After getting up and putting on clothes, the waiter brought water for washing.
We went downstairs to the lobby to have some breakfast provided by the inn.
A thick steamed bun and a bowl of porridge with thin soup.
Su Yu didn't dislike it and finished it in a few bites.
After eating, I saw other students slowly walking downstairs.
Su Yu greeted a few people, then took his luggage and waited for the carriage he rented to arrive.
Zhang Wenyuan and others are still very interested in the lady who received the marriage certificate from Su Yu yesterday.
"Su Yu, you just received the marriage certificate, don't you know when the banquet will be held?"
"Youming and I will return to Fucheng next month to participate in the academy examination. I don't know if we can make it in time to eat your meal."
Listening to these probing words, Su Yu felt a little funny.
No wonder.
In modern terms, his behavior is considered a flash marriage.
It is human nature to have people around you curious.
When farmers hold banquets, they are not very grand.
He had enough money on hand for the time being, but Su Yu didn't know what to do about the banquet.
"I have to go home and discuss it with my uncle and brother-in-law."
"If there is a banquet at that time, I will definitely tell you in advance."
While they were chatting, the carriage Su Yu rented arrived first.
Seeing Su Yu's carriage, several people were stunned.
"This...such a luxurious carriage?"
Zhang Wenyuan's family is in good condition, but the carriage he rented is just an ordinary carriage.
It’s not that you can’t afford to rent a better one, it’s mainly that the best car dealership is not much better.
But the carriage that came to pick up Su Yu was made of rosewood and was only found in the homes of rich and noble people.
Does the car dealership have such a luxurious carriage for rent?
Especially Song Youming.
Yesterday he and Su Yu went to the car dealership together.
Since Su Yu didn't want to go back with them, the four of them could just sit in a carriage.
So he also spent two hundred cash to rent a similar car with Su Yu.
Su Yu's carriage is so good, so is theirs probably the same?
Su Yu didn't pay attention to this. After getting in the car, he sat on the soft cushions and felt that the two hundred coins he spent were worth it.
At least it was more comfortable than the bullock cart he rode in.
He waved to a few people who were stunned.
"I'm leaving."
Not long after Su Yu left, the carriage Song Youming rented also arrived.
Looking at the ordinary carriage in front of them, Zhang Wenyuan and others looked at Song Youming in silence and confirmed it again.
"This is the carriage you rented yesterday, sir, that's right."
The coachman patted the somewhat old carriage and looked at the group of young people in front of him with some confusion.
"What's the problem with you guys?"
Song Youming was silent for a moment, then asked: "How many rosewood carriages does your dealership have?"
The coachman smiled, showing some yellow teeth.
"Young Master is joking."
"Rosewood is expensive, how can it be so easy to get?"
"We still have to hurry, so you'd better get in the car quickly."
This group of scholars was chattering, and the coachman was not angry either.
I could only urge a few people to get in the car and drive on their way.
Two hundred cents to rent a carriage, and I also want one made of rosewood...
These scholars are really whimsical.
Song Youming and others looked at each other, all confused.
Why was the carriage that just picked up Su Yu made of rosewood and looked very luxurious?
Could it be that the carriage shop made a mistake?
The coachman over there was urging again.
Song Youming and others could only get into the car with full of doubts.
...
the other side.
The city in the early morning is full of life.
People carrying burdens to sell in the market and carrying baskets to buy vegetables shuttled through the streets.
There were also various cries and shouts.
The carriage was not moving fast in the city, so Su Yu opened the curtain and looked at the bustle on the street.
"Baozi, freshly baked, hot buns~"
Passing by a shop selling steamed buns, Su Yu suddenly asked the driver to stop the car.
Ancient people usually only had two meals.
Only wealthy people can eat three meals a day.
The breakfast provided by the inn was just some porridge and drinks, which didn't make you feel full at all.
Gu Changle's family is also an ordinary family. If they are traveling with Su Yu so early, they probably won't be able to have a good breakfast.
The carriage had to be on the road for a long time, so Su Yu simply got out of the car and bought some steamed buns.
Let Gu Changle eat some later, and then give some to Old Man Gu.
They could eat the rest of the way if they were hungry.
"Ten meat buns, a total of twenty cents."
The landlady smiled broadly and handed over the wrapped buns.
Su Yu counted ten copper coins.
Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.
The buns were hot and fragrant.
The carriage restarted and soon arrived at the door of Gu Changle's house.
After Su Yu got out of the car, he knocked on the door.
The door was opened a long time ago, and it was a rather old, strange old man.
"Fu Bo?"
"Why are you at Old Man Gu's house so early in the morning?"
Su Yu recognized this person.
When I sent Old Man Gu home, I met him at his home.
At that time, Old Man Gu introduced him as Uncle Fu from the house next door.
Came to play chess with him.
Uncle Fu was just about to say that his prince was here, and his personal attendant could not be anywhere else.
When the words came to my lips, I suddenly remembered the explanation between the prince and the little princess yesterday, and quickly turned around.
He smiled and said, "I'm addicted to chess."
"It's so early in the morning, I just want to play chess."
"Are you here to pick up Changle?"
"I saw that she had packed her bags and was waiting for you to come over."
"Come in with me."
Uncle Fu welcomed Su Yu in.
When he walked to the courtyard of the front hall, he saw old man Gu walking on horseback and making gestures with his hands.
Exercising.
I have to say, that posture is quite similar.
Seeing Su Yu approaching, Old Man Gu stopped his posture and slowly exhaled.
Su Yugong cupped his hands and took the lead in saluting and saying hello.
Seeing the demeanor of his beloved grandson-in-law, the smile on Old Man Gu's face deepened.
He smiled and said: "Changle is ready."
"If nothing happens when you go back this time, just take Chang Le back to the door next month."
After listening to the elder's words, Su Yu clasped his fists and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will treat Chang Le well."
"By the way, these are Li Ji's steamed buns. I happened to be passing by and bought some more."
"Grandpa, you and Uncle Fu can eat it."
"Changle and I also left some to eat on the way."
Uncle Fu on the side took the other packed buns.
Old Man Gu nodded with satisfaction: "Good boy, you have your heart."
While the two were talking, Gu Changle also walked out.
She was holding a medium-sized package in her hand, and nodded slightly at Su Yu with an expressionless face.
Then he turned to Old Man Gu and said, "Grandpa, I'm leaving first."
Old Man Gu was still smiling, and his words were somewhat meaningful.
"Go and live your life."
"Just come back to see grandpa next month."
