Chapter 296 Some backers

Author: Zhong Lin

"Tsk, I'm a lot of money for your meal, but since you've already told Jingcheng, I won't continue talking about you. Come on tiptoe and have you seen Jingcheng?"

Finally, it was time for the opening of the Gongyuan. The door was surrounded by water. Su Xiaomu was not particularly tall. She couldn't see the person inside even when she stood on tiptoe.

Moreover, the people standing around were constantly squeezing her. If Su Xiaomu hadn't been thinking about Gu Jingcheng at this moment, she would have really scolded them.

"I'm watching, I'm watching!"

Zhou Lin's face was also twisted by the squeeze, but he still tried hard to widen his eyes and did not dare to blink.

After the tribute school opened, the students who took the exam rushed out in a vast expanse.

After these nine days of wasting time, most of them were listless and tired.

Seeing that they looked like they had been sucked away with their essence, Zhou Lin felt more worried about Gu Jingcheng, so he looked forward harder and finally saw Gu Jingcheng in the crowd.

So he immediately grabbed Su Xiaomu's sleeve and raised his hand hard and shouted Gu Jingcheng: "Jingcheng, we are here!"

When Su Xiaomu heard Zhou Lin see Gu Jingcheng, he waved happily: "We are here!"

But she was not tall, and even if she waved, she could barely reveal half of her arm.

As for Gu Jingcheng, the nine-day exam made him exhausted.

Although he had long been sure to win this imperial examination and had heard people who had taken the imperial examination say that they would have a very difficult time during the imperial examination, he still did not expect such a difficult method.

He staggered out step by step, originally thinking of finding a corner to stand and rest first, and then looking for where Su Xiaomu would pick him up.

But I didn't expect that before I could walk a few steps, I heard someone calling him.

When I looked up, I met Zhou Lin's bright smiling face.

Farmhouse.

"I told you that I finally felt relieved. I was almost squeezed to death at the gate of Gongyuan just now. Do you think everyone is a family to pick up people? How can there be so many people that they all have their heads at a glance?"

Zhou Lin sat down on the chair in the private room and started to breathe.

Su Xiaomu poured him and Gu Jingcheng speechlessly a cup of tea. He originally wanted to complain about Zhou Lin first, but when Yu Guang glanced at the black green under Gu Jingcheng, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

"Why do you look so bad in your energy? Have you not been sleeping well these days?"

"The capital city has not been very cold lately. I guess you are lucky and the spring cold has not started yet, but you should also cover the thick quilt I prepared for you at night."

Su Xiaomu asked Gu Jingcheng's health with concern?

Gu Jingcheng was not very good at all. He hadn't had enough rest in the past few days, and when he came out just now, he was a little dazed.

But now when I heard Su Xiaomu caring about him, I suddenly felt refreshed and all the fatigue was gone.

He shook his head indifferently, and his expression on his face relaxed a lot: "I used all the things you prepared for me. I didn't feel cold. But I just came out and didn't adapt much to the outside. Let's have a meal first. Don't you like the meat here the most?"

Gu Jingcheng personally gave Su Xiaomu Bucai and told her not to worry about herself.

"Okay, then let's have it together."

Su Xiaomu didn't believe what Gu Jingcheng said, but now he could only see a little fatigue from his face.

Zhou Lin sat next to him, and saw that they were caring for each other with each other, and they didn't even have a redundant look on him.

He just said, "What I know is that you have taken the exam. You two have been separated for nine days. If you don't know, you think you young couple have never met before. This intimacy, should I open the door and leave the private room for you two?"

"I think you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. If one day your father finds you a wife, I don't believe you will have a bad relationship with her."

Gu Jingcheng criticized Zhou Lin, and the latter sneered speechlessly.

After the meal, Zhou Lin stopped sending them because he had something to do, but he kept the carriage with great kindness. After all, Su Xiaomu went out in a hurry today and didn't have time to ride the carriage.

After returning home, Gu Jingcheng was temporarily relieved without the burden of the imperial examination.

He went to the study to pack up his things, and accidentally caught a glance at the shop planning book on the table, and curiously picked it up and looked at it.

Seeing what was written on it, Gu Jingcheng remembered that the shop was the same as when Su Xiaomu first came to Beijing, and asked, "Is it going to reopen?"

"Um."

Su Xiaomu nodded.

She was not afraid that Gu Jingcheng would know about it when the things were placed in the study.

"Things are a bit complicated. I have encountered some trouble during the days of your exam. Fortunately, Mrs. Wuding helped me. Now she promised to invest in my shop. With such a big backer, I don't have to worry about Liu Lu continuing to come and make trouble for me."

Su Xiaomu carried out the fruit wine she had taken the time to make a few days ago, and took the first sip of Kaifeng mud.

The mellow wine slid on the tip of his tongue, causing Su Xiaomu to relax his eyebrows happily, and his limbs and bones were relaxed.

"I want to drink, too."

Gu Jingcheng was thinking about his promise to get drunk together with Su Xiaomu. He put down the planning book in his hand and drank with her.

"What happened to you?" He frowned, and he didn't feel relieved after drinking. "Can you tell me?"

"There is nothing inconvenient, but I met Liu Lu again, and then I was unlucky and locked up in Shuntian Mansion by him."

Everything was over, and Su Xiaomu had gained advantage from it, so she had no unnecessary thoughts.

She told Gu Jingcheng everything about the past few days, especially the story of Mrs. Wuding Hou being a good person and helped her a lot of things.

But Gu Jingcheng only heard that Su Xiaomu was imprisoned in prison.

He heard that she was locked up in that place, and his heart was squeezing hard, and it hurt in an instant.

Gu Jingcheng himself was locked up, and no one knew better than him how frightening and dirty that kind of place was.

Forget it, he was locked up by himself. Even if he suffered some hardship, he was nothing.

But Su Xiaomu is different, she shouldn't bear these things.

The more Gu Jingcheng thought about it, the more he felt that Su Xiaomu was wronged, and the more he felt that she suffered, the more he hated that he had no ability.

If he could have power earlier and possess fearful power, then the person named Liu would not dare to hurt Su Xiaomu like this.

Gu Jingcheng clenched his fists, and at the moment when he drank the wine, he became more and more determined to be in high school and have power.

"Xiaomu."

"Um?"
