Chapter 125 126. City
Deng Yuanhang played with the cup in his hand nonchalantly. "Then I will stay here for two more days and wait for news for everyone. But you have to take a letter back for me so that my family can rest assured."
"It's my duty," Zhou Ping said with gratitude. If he didn't have to worry about the elderly people at home, he would really like to take the opportunity to walk around the city.
Deng Yuanhang leaned forward and put his arm around Gu Wenheng's shoulder. "What about Wenheng? Play for two days before going back?"
Gu Wenheng, "That's exactly what I was thinking. I'd like to ask Senior Brother Deng to take care of me these two days. I'll write a letter later, and I hope you two brothers can help me make the trip."
The two hurriedly said, "It should be."
Deng Yuanhang patted his chest cheerfully, "I know this city well. I'll take Wen Heng to various places and I guarantee you'll enjoy it."
Wang Buyi cleared his throat and said, "Don't forget what I taught you. You should still be careful about going to places you shouldn't go to.
I also have two good friends who want to visit me, so you two brothers should take care of each other. If anything happens, remember to report the name of the dean. "
No matter how unsuccessful Lu Sheng was, he was at least a Jinshi. Although he had not been in officialdom for many years, he taught many students.
Gu Wenheng and the others naturally agreed immediately. After sending away Zhou Ping and Li Hesen who were eager to return home, Deng Yuanhang grabbed Gu Wenheng and started the journey to this city.
It was only today that Gu Wenheng found out that this senior brother who had always kept a low profile actually had a family that ran an escort agency.
"These escorts who travel back and forth from north to south have a hard life." Deng Yuanhang led him across the yard and out of the escort agency.
"Then you asked Zhou Ping and others to help you carry the letter?" Gu Wenheng really couldn't understand. The escort agency was supposed to have many people, so he didn't believe that such a small letter could not be delivered back.
"You have to keep this a secret for me from now on. Right now, few people in the academy know my background, you know." After saying this, he blinked mischievously.
Gu Wenheng pursed his lips and smiled. It was true that the world of martial arts was everywhere. Even though everyone was concentrating on studying, people were still divided into different classes.
Gu Wenheng, "I won't say much, but you have to bribe me well."
"That's as it should be. Let's go. It's up to you to order Tianfulou. Brother has spent a lot of money today." Deng Yuanhang hooked his shoulder, "But you have to bring me cakes twice more when you go back. Since I ate at your wife's shop, I don't like anything else.
If those cakes didn’t have a short shelf life, I would have sent some to our old lady.”
Gu Wenheng, "Now that the weather is cold, you can keep it for a few more days, but it won't taste as good then."
Deng Yuanhang's eyes suddenly lit up. "In fact, we brothers can form a partnership. Your wife has such a good skill, and my family has shops everywhere. As long as she gives us the secret recipe, we will make a lot of money."
Gu Wenheng is not that naive. "These are my wife's secret recipes for dowry. Everything depends on her ideas."
Deng Yuanhang couldn't stop thinking about it. "That's fine. I'll go back and convince my sister-in-law. It's a pity that such delicious food is only kept in a small county."
Gu Wenheng pointed to the Tianfu Restaurant in front and said, "It seems that we came at the wrong time. How about we go to another place?"
There were several burly men standing at the door, staring at the passers-by with ferocious looks.
Deng Yuanhang also stopped and said, "It seems that I am not stingy. How about inviting you to the street corner in front to have a bowl of wonton?"
Gu Wenheng turned his head and stared at him, "Brother, you can't be so stingy, how about I treat you to wontons this time? I'll remember yours."
"I'll remember it, but we've agreed that you'll pay for the meal, so I'll order a big bowl of wontons..."
Gu Wenheng, "Haha, I'll order two big bowls for you."
Not to mention, after just one day of spending time together, the two people who were originally a little unfamiliar with each other were able to joke with each other.
As soon as Gu Wenheng sat down at the stall, he saw a familiar figure walking hurriedly past him.
He couldn't help but frown. Gu Yuanlei was dressed like a decent human being, but why did he look so haggard?
"What? Did you see someone familiar?" Deng Yuanhang followed his gaze but couldn't figure out what he was looking at.
Gu Wenheng shook his head. "Maybe I saw it wrong. Are you sure one bowl is enough? Do you want another bowl?"
"Stop joking. If you don't eat quickly, the soup will get cold." Deng Yuanhang blew on his hands after saying this. It was really sour to eat outside in this weather.

Fu County
Jin Qianqian cleaned up the empty trays on the counter. Today, Mrs. Xiang had to go back early for something, so she had to clean up by herself.
Just as she was about to put the plate in the backyard, someone else walked in.
"I'm sorry, all the cakes are sold out today. If you need them, please come back tomorrow."
"Is it the Gu family's wife?"
Jin Qianqian looked up at the stranger in front of her and nodded, "Yes, may I help you?"
"I'm Gu Wenheng's senior brother. He said he asked him to bring you a letter, so I put the letter here." Li Hesen put the letter on the counter, but his eyes were looking at the empty plates. He had heard that Gu Wenheng's wife ran a pastry shop, and it seemed that the business was quite good.
Jin Qianqian smiled and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother. Can I pour you a cup of tea?"
Li Hesen said no, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly blurted out, "Do you need me to read the letter for you?"
Jin Qianqian was stunned, but soon figured it out and shook her head repeatedly, "I have learned from my husband, so reading the letter should be no problem. I don't dare to trouble you, brother."
Li Hesen's face immediately turned red, he bowed, and left in a hurry.
Jin Qianqian touched her head. She didn’t seem to say anything, so why was he embarrassed?
At the same time, I was glad in my heart that I had reviewed those traditional Chinese characters during this period. It seems that I need to practice more calligraphy so that I won’t have to ask for help from others in the future.
After opening the letter, Jin Qianqian finally understood why Gu Wenheng stayed in the city, but as long as everything was fine, she felt relieved.

On the day the results were announced, Gu Wenheng and Deng Yuanhang were caught by Wang Buyi early in the morning and were waiting at the gate of the county government office.
There are a lot of people waiting here to watch the announcement of the results. Even if they come early, they can only watch from a distance.
"It's out." The crowd suddenly became agitated and everyone rushed forward.
Mr. Wang was not surprised. He grabbed one in each hand and wanted to go forward to see what was going on.
Gu Wenheng grabbed him with his backhand and said, "Sir, we will know the news sooner or later. Why don't we wait until there are fewer people before we go."
If you keep pushing and shoving like this, the possibility of getting trampled is too high. There's no need to take that risk.
"What do you young people know? This is the kind of atmosphere we want. You've worked so hard for so many years, don't you want to know it sooner?"
Deng Yuanhang shook his head honestly, "Just like Wen Heng said, the results are out, and it won't change whether you look at it sooner or later."
