Tao Jiang left the inn angrily after being hit three times that day, and was so angry that he didn't come back for more than an hour.
Yu Zhou has been friends with him for so long, although Tao Jiang goes to school in Fucheng for most of the year and doesn't have much time to meet him, but he still understands his temperament.Knowing that it is impossible to be really angry because of such a small matter.
It's just that as a friend, the other party has shown an arrogant appearance, even if he does, he has to care about it.
So after packing up his things, he went to find He Yunqi and asked, "Ajaan has been out for so long, should we go look for it?"
"There's no need to look for it," He Yunqi said, "He's been in Fucheng for several years, and he's much more familiar with this place than we are. Besides, he's such a grown man, so nothing will happen to him."
Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and was a little surprised that He Yunqi would say such a thing. In his understanding, although He Yunqi had always said that Tao Jiang was not allowed to do this or that, as long as it wasn't too much, he was actually made by With Tao Jiang.
Sure enough, his impression was correct.
In the next second, He Yunqi said again: "But I'm going to go out later to buy gifts for Aning and the elders in the family. I can find him on the way."
"Let's go together," Yu Zhou laughed, "It just so happens that I'm also going to buy things for Chenchen and his father."
Just as Yu Zhou finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice complaining at the door, "Are you looking for me just by the way?"
He and He Yunqi turned their heads when they heard the words, and saw Tao Jiang pushing open the door and looking at them with a sad face.
Yu Wenliang stood beside Tao Jiang, with an unusually embarrassed expression, "Brother Xiaozhou, I wanted to remind you, but Brother Ajiang forbade."
"If you remind me, how can I hear these words," Tao Jiang hummed twice, turned around and picked up three silk bags from the door, and put the biggest one in Yu Wenliang's arms, "This is for You, the two of them don't care about me, so we can only divide the younger one."
Yu Zhou and He Yunqi looked at each other, and understood that he had just gone out to buy gifts for everyone, but at the same time, he felt a little guilty.
So after Yu Zhou got his gift, he first thanked him earnestly, and then said with a smile: "Brother, I shouldn't have said that, I'll apologize to you first, and I'll give you something later as an apology." how?"
Tao Jiang's eyes lit up, "Brother Yu wants to give me something? Is it delicious?"
"Do you only know what to eat?" Yu Zhou was helpless, seeing his impatient look, he revealed something, "I brought it from our town, you will definitely like it."
Tao Jiang frowned and thought for a moment, but didn't think of anything possible, and said, "Forget it, I'll find out later."
After finishing speaking, he turned to He Yunqi again, and hummed: "Brother Yu has prepared gifts for me, how about you, cousin?"
"I'm really not prepared," He Yunqi spread his hands, and when he saw Tao Jiang start to sniff his nose, he said hastily, "Why don't we go back this time and ask my mother to talk to my aunt, and they can help you see if there is any suitable girl? "
Tao Jiang was startled for a moment, but after realizing it, he said coyly, "It's okay..."
"Hahaha." Seeing him like this, Yu Zhou and He Yunqi couldn't help laughing together, even Yu Wenliang hid outside the door and laughed so hard that his shoulders shook.
Tao Jiang looked a little embarrassed, and changed the subject bluntly, "Brother Yu has something to give me, give it to me quickly."
"Then go and get it now." Yu Zhou didn't deliberately whet his appetite.
After they stepped out of the room, Tao Jiang picked up a big cloth bag from the door and handed it to Yu Zhou, still not forgetting that Yu Zhou only had a small gift, he found a step for himself and said, "This one is for Chenchen. "
Yu Zhou took it with a smile, "Okay, I will definitely give it to him when I go back, and let him thank you in person when the time comes."
Tao Jiang snorted arrogantly, followed Yu Zhou with her hands behind her back, and went to the west wing with him.
It's just that he couldn't maintain this appearance for long. After Yu Zhou gave him the book with the words "Outsider" written in the lower left corner of the cover, Yu Wenliang who was outside the yard was startled by a sudden gasp. , ran over and asked, "What happened?"
The muscles on Tao Jiang's face twitched, he hid the script behind him, and comforted him with what he thought was the gentlest voice: "It's nothing, Xiao Wenliang, please wait outside for a while, I'll just say a few words to your Brother Xiaozhou." come out."
When Yu Wenliang heard the words "Little Wenliang", he looked at Tao Jiang suspiciously, and then looked at Yu Zhou with a questioning look.After seeing Yu Zhou nodding, he retreated into the yard.
Tao Jiang stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and confirmed that Yu Wenliang could not hear their voices outside, then lowered his voice and said: "It's actually all the new works of Mr. Shiwaike this year, Brother Yu, where did you get them Here? I heard rumors from people in the academy that there are only two copies on sale in Fucheng now, and it may not be possible to buy them."
Yu Zhou asked without answering, "Aren't you wondering why I gave you this?"
"I still have to ask, of course because I know I like it." Tao Jiang said as a matter of course.
Yu Zhou nodded, and said seriously: "I gave you the script because I know you like it, but you must not delay your studies because of this, or I will die to blame."
"Don't worry about this," Tao Jiang said to himself, "Although I love reading story books, in the past two years, I have only read Mr. Shiwaike's works, and I am not addicted. Mr. only writes one book a month. The script, I can read it in an hour at most, and it won't affect my studies at all."
"That's good," Yu Zhou said, "You can study in Fucheng with peace of mind. I will collect the words of foreign visitors for you, and I will give them to you when you return to town next time."
"Thank you, Brother Yu." Tao Jiang expressed his thanks in surprise, immersed in the joy that his friend gave him all the storybooks of Shiwaike, and completely forgot to ask Yu Zhou why he was able to buy all the storybooks of Shiwaike.
After Tao Jiang was appeased, the four of them went shopping together, happily and harmoniously. Under Tao Jiang's leadership, the three of Yu Zhou also bought desirable gifts with Fucheng characteristics.
In the evening, several people gathered together to chat until late at night, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
On the second day, Yu Zhou and the others set off to go home. Tao Jiang reluctantly sent everyone to a distance of about ten miles outside the prefectural city, and then said in frustration: "Hurry up and go to August, and then you come to take the college exam, and if you get the honor of being a scholar in the college exam, you will be a scholar." You can study at Fucheng Academy with me."
He Yunqi shook his head, "You look like this, making it seem like you have no other friends besides the three of us."
"There are quite a few friends," Tao Jiang lowered his eyes, "but the nature is different."
Hearing what he said, Yu Zhou and the others couldn't help but feel a little sad. After a pause, he reached out and patted Tao Jiang's shoulder, "Don't worry, I will study hard these few months and try not to let you down. high hopes."
Afterwards, the few people said some promises, and Yu Zhou and the others continued on their way.
After walking for almost a hundred meters, Yu Zhou, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly heard Tao Jiang yelling from behind: "Remember I will give me something when I come back."
Yu Zhou was shocked, and under the suspicious gazes of the others in the carriage, he stretched out his hand out the window and made a good gesture, but he didn't dare to answer.
But even so, after the carriage drove for a while, He Yunqi still asked: "What did you promise him?"
"Just... a few books..." Yu Zhou rubbed his nose, faintly feeling like he was leading someone else's child badly, and then being questioned by his parents.
He Yunqi showed a clear smile. When he heard that it was a book, combined with Yu Zhou's unreasonable tone, he couldn't understand what it was.
But he felt that in this regard, his friend and cousin were both decent people, so he didn't say anything.
Mr. Wen who was sitting in the corner also gave Yu Zhou a meaningful look, but also did not speak.
Only Yu Wenliang, the youngest, looked at this and then that with a curious expression.
Afraid of what he might say, Yu Zhou hurriedly raised the curtain of the window next to him, changed the subject, and said, "If I raise the curtain, it won't be so boring."
"It's okay," Yu Wenliang said seriously, "The temperature is not bad these few days, I guess it will take a few more days before it becomes uncomfortably hot."
Yu Zhou turned his face away and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window when he heard the words, and decided not to speak anymore.
A group of people were eager to return home, and this time they did not slow down the speed of the carriage, and everyone did not feel uncomfortable.
After the carriage arrived in the town, it went to He Yunqi's house first. When his family heard the news, they all ran out to greet him.
Zhou Ning saw that her husband came back safe and sound, and also won the first place in the government examination. If he hadn't been in front of everyone, he would have jumped towards He Yunqi happily.
But he couldn't help but keep looking at He Yunqi while directing people to move things.
He Yunqi took an inventory, and after he had moved all his things down, he ordered Xiaozhu: "You send Mr. Wen and Brother Yu back."
He knew that after returning, Mr. Wen, Yu Wenliang, or Yu Zhou must be eager to go home to announce the good news, so he didn't politely ask them to rest here for a while.
Yu Zhou and the others had a lot of things, and it would be inconvenient to go back by themselves, so they didn't reject He Yunqi's kindness.
Zhou Ning suggested after hearing the words: "In addition, let someone send Mr. Wen and the others back. Xiao Zhu is also tired all the way back."
Xiao Zhu was originally He Yunqi's bookboy, so He Yunqi would not refuse his proposal, so he asked another driver from home to drive Yu Zhou and the others back.
From the town to Yu Zhou's village, taking a carriage is very fast. When Yu Zhou's carriage entered the village entrance, it was only about three quarters.
At this point in time, almost everyone in the village was working in the fields. When Yu Zhou, Mr. Wen and Yu Wenliang were on the road, they discussed whether there would be anyone under the locust tree to enjoy the shade later.
As a result, the three agreed that there should be no one.
So when Yu Zhou got out of the carriage and saw the familiar figure holding the child, he forgot to move for a moment.
It was Mr. Wen who smiled and pushed him, "Boy Zhou, you guessed wrong."
Yu Zhou came to his senses, ran over quickly, his eyes were full of surprises and said: "Why are you here?"
"I guess my husband will be back in the next few days," Jin Chuan said with a smile, "I'll take Chenchen here and wait and see."
