Since he is a book boy, is it so strange that he knows a few words?
This profession can also recite a few lines of poetry.
Moreover, several of the "book boys" are from Liuzhou, so even the accent problem has been solved.
"What about those men in black, who were also sold together?"
When Su Zhan heard this, he glanced at Shen Xing and Luo Fu and then moved away, "Back to Madam, my subordinates gave them Mr. Xu's Ruanjin Powder, which ordinary doctors cannot undo."
"..."
Yes, it’s really comprehensive.
Cheng Xi looked at him for a long time, and had to praise someone's method of training people. How long had it been, how could Su Zhan, a good and humble gentleman, have such a dark heart?
Chen Xingluo was suddenly unaware and turned to look at her, "So, Madam, do you still plan to stay here?"
"No need, without ten days and a half, those people will not be able to leave Wuzhen."
Is it possible that she wants to stay and watch how people receive guests?
Cheng Xi shook her head like a rattle and thanked her, "Let's set off later. As for things here... Shopkeeper Wu will send the message. He likes the excitement so much, right?"
Shopkeeper Wu who likes excitement: "..."
No, he didn't want to know such a thing at all, and how could he describe such a thing in a letter?
Madam harmed me!
Regardless of whether Shopkeeper Wu wanted it or not, the Shen family set off after an hour.
Yu Heting happened to be going out with his younger brother, and the two met again and went to Beijing together.
The Yu family's carriage followed leisurely behind, and in the next few days, the two families virtually became a team rushing to take the exam. Since no outsiders came up to challenge them from time to time, life went very smoothly.
The group of people kept traveling at a leisurely pace. They usually stopped in the woods or tea stations near Guan Road at noon, and stayed in passing towns at night. Thanks to the good skills of Su Zhan and Wang Shu, most of the food they ate was game. .
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Look for us in the alley, and we can talk to you when Brother Yu is free. "
"I will definitely pay you a visit someday."
Chen Xingluo handed the other party a written address, and the two parties moved one to the west and were soon submerged in the bustling crowd of the bustling capital.
"The house that the Qin family gave us is in South Street West Alley?"
"Yes, there are more courtyards with two entrances and three entrances over there. It's only two intersections from the main street."
Cheng Xi was stunned when she heard this. She only remembered that the Qin family sent them to the second courtyard, but she didn't expect that the location was so advantageous.
Since ancient times, the capital has always been a place where every inch of land is at a premium. The closer a house is to the inside, the more expensive it is. The main street is the most prosperous place, so that house is simply in the right place at the right time.
This is not a small favor... Next time I see Qin Zheng, please give me two more jars of fruit wine.
The ordinary carriage passed through the bustling main street. It was too ordinary and did not attract anyone's attention. It soon turned into a wide alley at the fork in the road.
In front of the door of a small courtyard in the alley, there was a boy in gray clothes squatting boredly at the door counting ants. When he heard the sound of horses stepping on the bluestone tiles, he raised his head and suddenly paused. .
Su Zhan on the carriage glanced at him, handed the reins to Wang Shu, jumped out of the carriage, took out the keys and walked straight towards a small courtyard.
"scare!"
The boy was stunned for a moment and immediately became ecstatic. He got up with a cry of "Ah" and hurried into the yard next door.
"My lord, your task has been completed!"
Su Zhan and Wang Shu: "???"
How could a young boy in the capital be so virtuous?
The young man didn't care what outsiders thought of him. He hurried from the front yard to the backyard and finally found the real master in his master's bedroom.
"My lord, there's someone coming next door!"
What?
Qin Zheng immediately straightened up from the imperial concubine's couch, and instantly became energetic, "There is really someone coming next door, are you reading that right?"
"That's right, that's right. I've been staring at the yard next door since you ordered me. A carriage stopped at the door, and I saw someone taking a key to open the door!"
"That's right, only Xing Luo and my sister-in-law have the key."
Qin Zheng laughed happily, "Hurry up and change my clothes!"
Cheng Xi took the little girl's hand and walked into the wooden door of the small courtyard, planning to take a look at her new home.
This is indeed a two-entry courtyard. The front yard is the living room for entertaining guests. The yard is paved with a layer of blue bricks. The east and west wing rooms are distributed on the left and right sides. There is a circular arch leading to the backyard next to it.
The layout of the backyard is the same as that of the front yard, except that the room in the north is different. The living room is half smaller than the front yard, and there are two bedrooms on the left and right sides. The space is larger than that of a modern house.
The layout of the small courtyard is very reasonable. Since there are second and third entrance courtyards nearby, the environment is very quiet and is not affected at all by the lively main street two intersections away. It is definitely the best place for scholars to prepare for exams.
...I heard there was some chaos next door, but I don’t know what the regulations are?
"Brother Shen, brother Shen, sister-in-law, you are finally here!"
There was only one person who could do this before anyone arrived, and they knew who was coming without asking them.
Qin Zheng ran all the way over, his eyes filled with surprise and resentment, and he didn't know how he did it.
"Where have you been these days, and why have you arrived in the capital now? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"I just made a few more turns on the road. When did Brother Qin arrive in the capital?"
"A month ago."
Qin Zheng's eyes became even more resentful, "You left Shenjia Village at the beginning of July. So you were going on a trip? Why didn't you take me with you!"
As a result, he arrived in the capital a month early and was so depressed with nothing to do all day long. If he had known that these people were just hanging out along the way, why would he have bothered?
Very angry.
"..." They don't want to have the reputation of kidnapping the Qin family's grandson.
Cheng Xi coughed lightly, "
Why did Mr. Qin come to the capital? Don’t you plan to take the exam again? "
"I changed my mind."
Qin Zheng glanced at Chen Xingluo and groaned, "How can I show my master's outstanding talents without taking the exam? I can't embarrass the Lin'an Mansion, let alone the Qin family."
This reason is very strong, but only Shen Xingqi, who is not experienced in the world, is the only one present who believes it.
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi were silent for a moment without expressing any opinions. However, the person involved did not want to continue this topic from the bottom of his heart, so he naturally talked about other things.
"There must be a lot of dust since no one has lived here for a long time. There are a lot of maids and servants over there. Why don't you go and sit there first and wait until the place is cleaned before you move in?"
"Thank you, Brother Qin."
Chen Xingluo left the two of them to clean up, and followed Qin Zheng to the next door with his wife and sister.
For Su Zhan, it is not difficult to clean up a courtyard with two entrances, not to mention that this was originally the Qin family's courtyard, and there would be daily maintenance every few months, so the courtyard was not desolate.
Qin Zheng sent several boys from next door to help, and within half a day, the appearance of the small courtyard, which had not been visited by anyone for a long time, changed.
The dust disappeared and was replaced by pure dust. The flowers and plants in the yard were trimmed again. Newly purchased beddings were added to the east and west wing rooms and the two bedrooms in the backyard. Some fresh vegetables were purchased in the kitchen. Even the study in the backyard was carefully decorated. arrange.
In the evening, Cheng Xi once again experienced the ancient version of check-in with a bag.
Qin Zheng followed several people step by step to accept the results, and gave his servant a satisfied look.
"Qinshan, you did a good job."
"This is what the young master should do. What other orders do you have, Master?"
"Are you asking the wrong person, Brother Shen?"
"Thank you, there's nothing else to do."
Qin Zheng thought for a while and said, "Brother Shen, are you going to add someone to this courtyard? The people in Qinshan and the capital are familiar with each other, so let him go for a trip."
"No."
Chen Xingluo shook his head and refused, "It's good to have Su Zhan and Wang Shu here."
The three members of the Shen family all like to be quiet and like to do everything by themselves, not to mention that there is room for many things that are not convenient for people to see. It is really not suitable for a big purchase just after settling down.
Qin Zheng naturally had no objection. He knew that they were on their way and didn't talk much. He left a few gossips and left.
Cheng Xi took the little girl directly to the kitchen.
"Madam, Miss, will you come down to cook tonight?"
"No, you and Su Zhan are tired too. Go make a pot of tea in the living room and take a rest."
On the first night in the capital, everything was kept simple. Cheng Xi took out brand-new kitchen utensils and started cooking.
