"That's right, it was run by a gentleman named Zhao Tai. He gave me all the money and asked me to deliver it today. By the way, we have already cleaned the house and have all the necessary things. You can come at any time. Just move in!”
The man from Yaxing smiled.
"Zhao Tai!"
Mrs. Zhang looked at Jiu'er and felt particularly incredible.
Eat a meal and get a house?
"Has it been cleaned now? The house shouldn't be big, right? We won't be short of room for the time being, so..."
Before Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, the man from the tooth shop looked at Mrs. Zhang with a smile and interrupted: "It's not big, just a three-bedroom courtyard!"
"ah!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes and fainted from fright.
"mother……"
Jiu'er quickly hugged Mrs. Zhang, then turned to the man in Yaxing and said: "We don't want it. Please find Zhao Tai and retreat..."
"No, we want it!"
Mrs. Zhang held Jiu'er's hand and said to the man in the tooth shop: "Sign, I'll sign right now!"
soon.
Lin Yi and Jiuer stared at Mrs. Zhang dumbfounded and signed the signature very neatly.
After checking the property deed and confirming the address, he turned to Zhang Jiuer and said, "Pack your things and move tomorrow!"
"Mom, how can we ask for someone else's house for no reason?" Zhang Jiuer sulked.
She is a principled person. If you can earn something yourself, why should you accept other people's things?
This three-in house, in the capital city where every inch of land is at a premium, starts with at least a few hundred thousand taels of silver.
"What do you kid know?"
Mrs. Zhang said seriously: "When your father was here, he said that he was not an ordinary official. Yesterday, Mr. Zhao did the same. Even Gou Zhongxing, who works in the Ministry of Industry next door, knelt like that. How could he be an ordinary official? "
"Mom, your father concealed his official status at the beginning. This house might also be the dowry your father left for you!"
Zhang Jiuer's pretty face turned red and he stamped his feet anxiously, but he couldn't resist his mother, so he could only turn to look at Lin Yi and said: "Lin Yi, how about let's go!"
"Where are you going?"
Mrs. Zhang immediately became alert.
His daughter's baby has a baby bump, and Lin Yi can't let it go.
"When Lin Yi first arrived in the capital, how could he know where the Huatian Mansion Yamen is? I'll take him to get his household registration. If he delays the provincial examination, his academic career will be ruined!"
Zhang Jiuer glanced at her mother angrily.
"Thank you very much, Miss Jiu'er!" Lin Yi thanked her.
"Why are you so polite? Mother and I promised Brother Xu that we would take good care of you. When Brother Xu comes to pick you up, it's time for me to report to Qingshan Academy!"
Zhang Jiuer didn't think much about it.
Since you have promised something to others, you should keep it.
"kindness!"
Lin Yi nodded. When they were chatting about home affairs last night, he knew that Zhang Jiuer was going to Qingshan Academy soon.
After all, last year's provincial economics exam candidate had extremely strong literary and moral qualifications!
Later, Lin Yi went directly to Huatianfu Yamen with Zhang Jiuer without waking Li Wenbo.
Anyway.
He couldn't miss the rural examination. He must win the provincial examination in the capital and go to see Emperor Dayan!
…
Outside the Huatianfu Yamen in the capital.
Lin Yi arrived here under the guidance of Zhang Jiu'er. Zhang Jiu'er said: "Here, this is the Yamen of Huatian Mansion. You can go in by yourself. Since Mr. Zhao Tai had time to buy a house last night, he must also fight with the Yamen." Say hello!"
"I'll wait for you at the teahouse! There happens to be a poetry meeting today..."
Zhang Jiuer smiled, revealing two dimples, then waved his hand and turned to a teahouse not far away.
"Poetry party?"
Lin Yi looked at the teahouse and saw many male and female scholars wearing Confucian shirts entering.
Lin Yi didn't think much and turned around and entered the yamen.
"Young Master, the Yamen is an important place for officials and cannot be entered casually. If you have anything to do, you can go to the Yamen of the state or county where you are..."
Lin Yicai entered the yamen and was stopped and questioned by the yamen servants.
Huatian Mansion is an important place in the capital, but there are also many prefectures and counties under the same government.
It's just that this is the only government office in the capital.
"The student is a scholar going to Beijing to take the exam. He lives in Xicheng and needs to go to the household registration room to apply for household registration!"
Lin Yi slightly cupped his hands and said.
"Going to Beijing to take the exam? Have you purchased real estate? Without purchasing real estate, you cannot apply for household registration in the capital!"
The officer had no intention of letting Lin Yi in, but when he looked Lin Yi up and down, he didn't forget to rub his fingers together...
Want money!
Lin Yi frowned slightly. Under the emperor's feet, a government official could block the road and ask for money.
When the oppressed people in the city want to sue the officials, if they don’t have money, they may not even be able to get in to the yamen!
"You want money?" Lin Yi said calmly.
"The adults in the government office are very busy all day long. When you go to ask for help, you should have some money for tea, right? You are also a scholar, don't you understand these rules?"
The yamen officer frowned.
Which scholar in the capital doesn’t know the rules in the yamen? Is it necessary to clarify this matter?
"don't know!"
Lin Yi shook his head and said indifferently: "It's an adult from Longwei who asked me to come over and apply for household registration. Since I need tea money, but I really don't have any, I'll go talk to that adult!"
After saying that, Lin Yi turned around and left.
Buzz!
However, Lin Yi's words made the yamen servant's legs tremble with fear.
He quickly caught up with Lin Yi, his attitude immediately changed 36 degrees, and he said mournfully: "Bachelor, don't be like this. If you have something to say, please talk to me. Isn't it just to apply for household registration? You are not familiar with the road, so we will take you there right away." You go to the household!"
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yi pleadingly.
"Let's go!"
Lin Yi also knows very well that he can't change anything now.
Could it be that if he told the yamen servant that he was no longer allowed to ask for tea money, the other party would really stop asking for it?
This is a convention that has been accumulated over the years and cannot be changed by a young scholar like him.
It is only possible to force change from top to bottom with power.
Changing things from the bottom up is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Lin Yi then went to the government office to apply for household registration under the guidance of the yamen servant.
And Zhao Tai did send someone to say hello, when Lin Yi reported his name.
The clerk of that household quickly obtained Lin Yi's household registration.
Name: Lin Yi
Identity: Bachelor!
Age: eighteen!
Address: Yunluo Lane, Baiye Street, Xicheng...
Lin Yi didn't report this address, but the other party seemed to know it by heart. It was the house that Zhao Tai bought for Mrs. Zhang.
"What official position does Zhao Tai hold in the Dragon Guard?"
Lin Yi is now particularly interested in Zhao Tai's official position, since the other party does not know him.
Then we can rule out that Yan Shuangwu, the commander of Longweidu, said hello to him...
Is it really a coincidence?
Lin Yi didn't quite believe it! There must be something he doesn't know about...
…
at the same time.
In a teahouse not far from the government office, many young scholars were holding a poetry meeting at the initiative of a certain talented man in the capital.
The purpose of poetry gatherings is usually to make friends through poetry and make friends with young people all over the world.
At the same time, it also provides opportunities for talented men and women to get to know each other.
Coincidentally... Fang Qingxue, a bachelor of Pingzhou Academy who had just taken the palace examination, was also in the teahouse!

There is also a third chapter, which may not be available until morning, so don’t wait!
