After dinner, Qiu Sheng took the initiative to talk about the matter of going to the capital, and Wang Zhuangzhi gathered the entire family in the front hall.
Not treating children as children, Wang Zhuangzhi said: "Qiusheng is promising, and our family should be happy to meet a noble person to guide him to the capital."
The children were very happy, but after all, the capital was very far away, and after being happy, they felt a little sad.
Erya raised her hand representing everyone and asked, "Dad, when will Big Brother go to the capital?"
Wang Zhuangzhi also did not know about this, he looked at Qiusheng and asked, "Qiusheng, how long do you plan to go?"
Qiu Sheng pursed his lips, "Tomorrow."
When those words came out, the entire family was a little shocked.
Liu Zhihua hurriedly said: "What did the noble in the letter say, do you have to leave tomorrow? Isn't this a little too anxious?"
Qiusheng looked at his mother and said, "Mother, I want to leave early alone. It took two days to travel and visit the nobility. If you delay for a long time, you'll miss class."
The capital city was no better than the city, so naturally there were more people competing. If you delay for two or three days, you will miss more than a dozen classes. Now that you have decided to leave, you should strive to do your best. At this time, the course should not be delayed. If you want to gain fame, more effort is required in all aspects.
Liu Zhihua choked upon hearing this. Even though he knew that Qiu Sheng put his studies first, he still could not bear it.
Wang Zhuangzhi patted his wife, then said with a smile: "OK, students should naturally focus on their studies. Then I'll feed the horses in a minute. Pack books and simple clothes. We'll leave after breakfast tomorrow."
Qiu Sheng sighed in relief, shook his finger and nodded, "Yes."
Liu Zhihua wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes by turning his back on the children, pretending to smile and saying: "Mom will prepare dry food for you, and you can take it on your way."
Saying that, Liu Zhihua went straight out.
Wang Zhuangzhi felt uncomfortable seeing his wife like this, and his mother was worried that Qiu Changsheng had never left them because he was very old, so she really felt reluctant.
"Brother, can we find you in the future?" Xiao Li pouted and asked.
Qiu Sheng pursed his lips to hold back his emotions, then nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, big brother will return home to take a look around during the holidays."
Erya looked at her parents and older brother a little sad, so she lowered her head to play her nails, pursed her lips and did not ask any questions.
Jiaojiao looked left and right, and could sense that the eldest brother was in a bad mood, so he said in a candlelight voice, "Sister, there are still many books in Jiaojiao's room. Let's see if there's anything you want."
Qiu Sheng nodded, and said "Mmm" in a hoarse voice.
He got up and followed his brother to his room.
No one else followed, only him and Jiaojiao were in the room, Qiusheng stretched out his tense face in front of his little sister, and dared to heat up his eye sockets silently.
He naturally had no heart to part with his parents, his younger siblings, but even if he stayed for two more days, it would still be difficult to leave, so it would be better to settle this mess quickly.
In addition, he heard from his teacher that the academy in the capital was paying attention to the autumn assessment, and the results of the assessment would be recorded in the general exam file in the same year. This time will be here soon. If he could enter the academy, he would have to work hard to catch up by jumping in a queue halfway through. Decided to leave early.
Jiaojiao found many books in the room again, they were full and the real one spent half of the total cabinet.
He opened the cupboard and ransacked it, and got up with a stack of books in his hand, only to be scattered on the ground with a clattering sound.
Jiaojiao looked at his fleshy little hand, and said helplessly, "Sister, I'm too young to carry so many books. There are so many books in this closet, why don't you find yourself a book you like."
Qiu Sheng laughed through his tears, and gently coaxed: "OK, Jiaojiao is resting by the side, and big brother will come and find him himself."
Qiu Sheng tidied the books underground, and looked at the names. All of them were history books, so he picked one up and put it on the side.
Then I picked up the other books. At first I was relatively calm, but then I became even more surprised, not only because of the number of books, but also because of the diversity of the types.
This really helped him. After all, many works were orphaned, and it was extremely rare to read them at a glance, let alone a layman who could borrow them to watch them.
Most of the ordinary students studied the content from the master to learn, but the master from the younger sister actually gave the younger sister a box of books.
Some of them looked expensive from the cover paper, so she was very happy and grateful. This would definitely be of great help to him who was thinking of going to the capital.
Qiu Sheng forgot his sadness for a while, and chose books that suited him with joy on his face.
"Jiaojiao, your master is really a good person. If you meet him in the future, you should thank him very much."
Jiaojiao saw his eldest brother happy, so he nodded with a smile and said, "OK."
He was also very grateful to Master in his heart. There were many uncomfortable things to say in Master's head, and everyone would not doubt it anymore. Sure enough, he had not been friends with Master, and he could do something if there was something to do.
...
The next day, the,
Before dawn broke, the Wang family woke up.
Liu Zhihua was busy from last night until midnight. Other than preparing dry food, he was afraid that Qiusheng was not used to eating outside. He prepared chili sauce and mushroom sauce, and made meat jerky. Boiled and fried until there is no moisture, do not fear rotting after storing for the first half month.
Wang Zhuangzhi outside the door was worried, and checked the carriage several times, worried about the problem on the road, and prepared some tools in the carriage just in case.
Erya and Xiao Li helped her mother pack dry food into the basket, while Qiu Sheng moved the books onto the carriage. There were too many books and he chose over a dozen books, and the original books were very heavy to carry.
Jiaojiao hid inside the house and prepared the medicine brought home by Father from the pharmacy. Everything was packed in a small medicine jar with the name of the medicine on it.
This father will be taken by the eldest brother, and Jiaojiao poured the river water into it one by one, so as not to affect the efficacy of the medicine, it can help the recovery of injuries to the maximum.
He also crushed some of his spirit whiskers and rubbed them. After all, the eldest brother kept it to himself, so he added a lot without hesitation.
...
After breakfast, Wang Zhuangzhi and Qiu Sheng were about to leave, and Liu Zhihua rushed back home to pick up a blessing.
This was requested by the master at the temple in the early years. When he was a child, Qiu Sheng was weak and his master said that he could not help it. Now that his body had recovered, and he had to run this far, Liu Zhihua thought of this safety talisman.
Liu Zhihua found a piece of red rope, put Ping An Fu on Qiu Sheng's neck, and said: "Don't dare to take it off. This is the sanctification of his master. This will definitely keep my son safe."
Qiu Sheng touched Ping An Fu, raised his hand to hug his mother, and said, "Mother, I will protect myself and write letters back from time to time. You don't have to worry too much."
Liu Zhihua held back tears, nodded and said: "OK, things will go well because my son is so smart."
