Chapter 131 Is the money hot?
After Gu Yunyi finished speaking, he took out a large palm-leaf fan and fanned Xu Qingmeng. Xu Qingmeng felt a little cooler, and then thought about what he said, and after some consideration, he felt that this method was feasible.
Speaking of which, Xu Qingmeng traveled here from March. Although this East Street seems very prosperous to outsiders, as a modern person who traveled here from the modern times, he still feels that it is a bit rustic and does not know what the so-called capital city in this world is like.
Another important point is that if Gu Yunyi can come to the provincial examination this time, he will definitely go to the provincial school to study later, so naturally, his family will also have to go there.
She should go there now and look for a good place. It would be best if she could buy a suitable yard, so that she can give birth to the baby directly in the capital. Her body is not too heavy now, so she can get ready before the baby is due.
Of course, Xu Qingmeng had never thought about the possibility that Gu Yunyi would not pass the exam.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Yunyi thought she was unwilling, and then said, "There are other reasons for letting you go."
Xu Qingmeng turned and looked at him.
Gu Yunyi said:
"First, there is a famous old Chinese doctor in the city who specializes in gynecology. I want to take you to see him.
Second, a classmate with whom I have a good relationship just got married and he couldn't bear to leave his wife, so he planned to take his wife with him to the exam. Originally, he, Zhou Yuanjia and I planned to rent a yard together, but now that we have a female relative, it is obviously a bit inconvenient. It will be no problem for you to come with me. ”
“I see!”
These days, He always inquired about the news of the scientific expedition and told her about it. Xu Qingmeng did not doubt it.
Although the exam only lasts a few days, it still takes a lot of time before and after. Some people will stay in the city to check the list and then come back. So, it will take at least half a month to go back and forth.
The inn is obviously not a good option. As the scientific expedition approaches, the prices are rising rapidly, and it is also too noisy.
Therefore, many students would rent a yard near the examination hall. Although the price is a bit higher, if there are several people and the cost is shared equally, it is more cost-effective than an inn. Moreover, it has its own door and yard, which makes it convenient for reviewing.
"If this is the case, I have to tell Madam Huang, and Jinxiuxuan must be properly arranged before I can go there. I also have to tell mother, and I don't know if she agrees."
There was no big problem with Jinxiuxuan, as she had already begun to slowly let go and she didn't need to go there every day. As for He's, if Xu Qingmeng was not pregnant, she didn't think it would be a big problem, but the situation was different now.
In the darkness, after hearing the first half of the sentence, the corners of Gu Yunyi's lips slightly raised, flashing with a bit of joy, but when he heard the second half, his smile instantly dimmed again.
Gu Yunyi said: "Mom, I'll go talk to her over there."
The next day, when Gu Yunyi talked to He, He was obviously still worried, after all, the journey was tiring, but when he said he wanted to take Xu Qingmeng to see an old Chinese doctor, He agreed.
Then he said to Xu Qingmeng, "Mother Meng, be careful when you go out. I'm at home, so nothing will go wrong. After you finish seeing the Chinese doctor in the city and Yun Yi finishes his exam, there's no need to rush back. You can have fun while you have time. You can also come back after the results are announced."
"Mom, we're not going there for fun."
"I know, but you can't just stay there. Let Yun Yi take you around. I heard that everything in the city is better than here. You should buy some of them, both for you and for the baby," said Mrs. He.
Then He took her and opened her money box, took out the silver and money inside and gave most of it to her.
The money in this box only contains the earnings of the Gu family restaurant in the past few months. The money of Jinxiuxuan was settled with Madam Huang, including the money earned from the cooperation with Shen Jinwen, which is in there. As for the money from He's, Xu Qingmeng was asked to keep it for herself.
Jinxiuxuan has only received one month's salary so far, but that is much more than what Gu's restaurant has earned in the past few months. In fact, Xu Qingmeng is not short of money.
He naturally knew that Xu Qingmeng was well-off, but these were two different matters.
Xu Qingmeng pushed it a few times, but seeing that He was still insisting, Xu Qingmeng had no choice but to accept it.
When I talked to Gu Yunyi later, I wanted him to return it to He's, but he didn't take it.
"The restaurant can only make money because of you. Since mom gave it to you, just keep it. Why are you afraid that the money is too hot to handle?"
Xu Qingmeng just felt that she hadn't done much during this period of time, and it was He, Sister Tang and Aunt Li who were busy.
After thinking for a while, he said to Gu Yunyi: "What I meant is that my mother's money box is empty, which is not a good look."
Gu Yunyi smiled and said, "What's the big deal? If you lose your money, you can just earn it slowly."
It is already the end of July, and since Xu Qingmeng has already decided to go to the provincial capital, he did not delay.
The next day, she and Gu Yunyi went to visit the Huang Mansion.
Mr. Huang now attaches great importance to Gu Yunyi's college entrance examination. Not only because his teacher, Mr. Shen, knows that Mr. Shen is not in Yan County now, but he also specially arranged for Gu Yunyi and his son Huang Boyang to take classes with a famous teacher in Yan County for a few days.
They talked about the possible questions in the college entrance examination, which examiners have good tempers, and things to pay attention to in the examination room, etc. Both Gu Yunyi and Huang Boyang gained a lot.
Gu Yunyi and Xu Qingmeng arrived at the Huang Mansion and they separated at the door. Gu Yunyi went to find Lord Huang, while Xu Qingmeng followed the maid to the backyard.
Because Xu Qingmeng and Madam Huang run Jinxiuxuan together, all the maids around Madam Huang also know Xu Qingmeng.
However, this time the maid did not lead Xu Qingmeng directly into the house, but led her to the pavilion in the yard.
"Mrs. Gu, I'm really sorry. My wife is entertaining guests right now. Please sit here and wait for a while."
Xu Qingmeng expressed her understanding and said it was okay. After all, Mrs. Huang was the wife of the county magistrate and she usually had to interact with the wives of officials and wealthy people. The fact that Jinxiuxuan could have such a small number of people was also due to the help of these people.
The maid brought tea and snacks. Xu Qingmeng knew they were from Jinxiuxuan at a glance.
"From Jinxiuxuan?"
"Of course. Ever since Jinxiuxuan opened, our lady has looked down on other dim sum. The distinguished guest in this room seemed to be from the capital city, and he said that the dim sum here was not as delicious as the ones in the capital city. Who would have thought that he would change his mind immediately after just one bite, and asked the lady to pack a lot of it, saying that she would take it away later."
Xu Qingmeng didn't care whether it was true or not, but it was obvious that the little maid's excitement made her happy.
