My husband is a sick cat

Shengjing, as the capital of the Great Sheng Kingdom, is naturally not comparable to a small place like Lin'an City.

The hustle and bustle of the city could be heard before entering. After finally waiting for Tang Ying and others, and after checking their pass and seals, they finally entered the capital.

A group of them sat in a carriage and slowly drove into the capital.

As the carriage moved forward, they gradually saw the prosperous scene of the city.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going. The laughter and occasional shouts coming from the shops and teahouses on both sides make people feel the liveliness of the place.

Everyone looked out through the curtains of the car, their eyes filled with curiosity and surprise.

The entire capital city gave people a dazzling feeling, as if they had come to another world, which was full of endless wonder and beauty.

The buildings are towering and magnificent, making people sigh at the prosperity and prosperity of this city.

The trees on both sides of the street are lush and green, and the flowers are in full bloom, giving people a vibrant feeling. The air is filled with the aroma of various delicacies, making people salivate.

None of them had ever seen such a prosperous scene before. Their hearts were filled with wonder and awe. They felt the charm and vitality of the city, but also their own insignificance and fragility.

In this bustling world, they don't know where to go, nor do they know if they can adapt to the hustle and bustle of this world. They can only look out through the curtains of the car, trying to find some direction and answers of their own.

Even Tang Ying, who had a cold personality, showed some emotion on his face after entering the capital. After all, he was just a teenager who had just turned 20 and had never seen such a prosperous scene.

Not to mention Zhang Hai and the others, they had already started dancing and pointing around, looking like country bumpkins coming to the city. Fortunately, Qin Tong was able to keep himself calm and whispered reminders to them from time to time, otherwise they would have been laughed at by passers-by.

Yu Ning, who is introverted and seldom speaks, did not participate in the discussion at this time, but his curiosity was evident in his eyes.

Zhou and Sun Xiaohua had already gathered together, whispering about the prosperity of the capital. Lu Hu sat in the front of the car, trying hard to maintain his image, but his face had already flushed. From time to time, he glanced around, with a smile in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Among this group of people, the calmest one was Lu Jian. She just glanced around the shops curiously, with no surprise or admiration in her eyes. Even though the capital city gave her a very good impression, the buildings there might not be comparable to those she had seen in the end times.

Although the end of the world was in chaos, she had seen the buildings left over from before the end of the world. Apart from anything else, the Forbidden City in the capital was amazing enough. Although some places were dilapidated when she went to see it, most of the buildings were still intact, and her beauty and majesty could still be seen.

Therefore, the biggest attraction of the prosperous capital city to her was just the shops selling food, and everything else was nothing in her eyes.

However, Lu Yao, who was in the same car with her, was surprised and kept exclaiming or shouting, which was very noisy. However, she did not stop him, but just smiled at him. After all, he was still a child, and it was normal for him to have some childish behavior.

However, Tang Ying, who was sitting opposite her, took a few glances at the prosperity of the capital city, then turned around and noticed Lu Jian's overly calm expression. Her eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly. Could it be that Lu Jian had seen a city that was more prosperous and better than this?

Lu Jian didn't say much to him, so he always thought that Lu Jian came from a very poor and backward place that was full of dangers. But now seeing her so calm, Tang Ying became a little uncertain again.

But these are not important. He looked at Lu Jian and smiled, "Let's find an inn to stay in first, and then slowly look for a place to stay. Lu Feng told us to go directly to Qingyuan Inn, and he will come to find us after meeting the elders at home."

Lu Jian was slightly stunned before she understood what Tang Ying meant. He was asking for her opinion, asking her whether she should follow Lu Feng's suggestion or find an inn by themselves. She probably didn't understand it before, but over the past year or so, under Tang Ying's influence, she has become accustomed to this way of speaking.

"Let's go to Qingyuan Inn."

Tang Ying smiled and nodded: "Okay, tell me if you want to eat anything, and I will buy it for you later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jian became happy and immediately told about the signs of several food shops he had just seen.

"These stores are doing very good business, and the things they sell should be very good."

Looking at Lu Jian's smiling eyes, Tang Ying was also in a good mood. In fact, they were taken care of by Lu Feng along the way. Although they did not have the opportunity to visit the cities they passed by, food and accommodation were arranged along the way, so it was not hard.

Lu Yao, who was sitting on the side, was also very happy listening to the conversation between the two. He liked to stick to his sister since he was a child. Although he knew that his sister had a bad relationship with their mother, she was very good to him.

No matter what his sister got, she would remember to give him a share. Of course, he did so. Sometimes, when his sister was reluctant to ask for something, he would pester Sun Xiaohua to buy it for her and then share it with his sister.

He has been with his sister and brother-in-law for more than a year. Although his brother-in-law is very strict with him in his studies and his sister is also very strict when teaching him martial arts, they both spoil him at other times.

Among the shops that his sister mentioned just now, some were the ones he had mentioned just now. They were not sweet shops. I guess they were added by his sister. Naturally, he was very happy at this moment.

Soon, the group arrived at Qingyuan Inn. The front building of this inn was five stories high, and it looked very wealthy at first glance. In addition to the sign of Qingyuan Inn, there was also a sign of Zhuangyuan Building in front of the door.

When Lu Jian was helped down from the carriage by Tang Ying, he took a curious look at the sign and asked Tang Ying in a low voice, "How can this inn have two signs?"

The waiter who came over happened to hear this and immediately explained with a smile: "Young lady, this Zhuangyuan Building is not a signboard, it is a plaque given by the No. 1 Scholar. Only a place where the No. 1 Scholar has lived can have this plaque. It is an honor for our inn."

The waiter explained it very straightforwardly. Lu Jian understood it immediately and became happy immediately: "So, the number one scholar has stayed in your inn?"

"Of course not," the waiter looked proud when mentioning this matter. He directly praised the top scholar who had stayed in their inn from beginning to end. Of course, he also praised the good feng shui of his own inn.

Not only Tang Ying and his group were listening, there were also many candidates around who were obviously going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations. Only those residents who already lived in the capital were dismissive of this. After all, they knew better than anyone that that inn had produced a number one scholar.

After the waiter finished speaking, several candidates around him suddenly became excited. Although staying in this inn did not necessarily mean they would pass the exam, it was good to share in the good fortune. However, before they could speak, the waiter remembered the purpose of approaching these people, so he looked at Tang Ying and the others and asked respectfully,

"Are you new to the city? Is there a young man named Tang Ying among you?"

Hearing the waiter's question, Tang Ying stepped forward and said, "It's me."

Seeing that he had found the right person, the waiter smiled more sincerely, bowed slightly and said, "Your guest room has already been reserved. Come with me."

Tang Ying nodded, and led everyone who had gotten off the car and followed the waiter into the inn. As for the carriages, they were all pulled in by the waiters who came out of the inn. When they came, this group of people brought a total of eight carriages.

Except for the two carriages brought by Lu Hu, which he rented, one for household items and one for people, the other six carriages were obtained by Lu Feng. One of them was naturally used by him, one was given to Tang Ying for household items, another was used for people from the Tang family, and the remaining three were used by other people.

However, because there were so many people in the Tang family, they were scattered in other carriages along the way.

Lu Hu's two carriages were driven by coachmen, while the others were driven by Lu Feng's servants. However, along the way, Tang Ying and the others would occasionally take turns driving the carriages. After all, they had learned these things in the academy, and they couldn't always exploit Lu Feng's people.

As for Lu Feng's true identity, these people didn't know. They only knew that he was the son of a wealthy family in the capital, so they were not surprised at all that he could arrange several carriages.

However, when they were still queuing outside the capital, Lu Feng had already entered the city with his own people and carriage, so they drove into the city by themselves. Now that they followed the waiter into the inn, the carriage was naturally brought in by other waiters.

As for whether the things in the car are safe, they are relatively relieved about this. After all, this is such a big inn. If even the things in the guests' cars cannot be guaranteed to be safe, then what is the difference between it and a black shop?

Of course, important and valuable things should still be carried close to you.

After entering the inn, the waiter first took everyone to register their names, and then took them directly into the backyard. The backyard was not small. Not only did it have two residential buildings, but it also had two separate courtyards. It could be seen that these courtyards were for the nobles to live in.

The waiter led a few people into one of the courtyards. The courtyard was not big but very exquisite. In addition to the reception hall, there were ten rooms around it, which was more than enough to accommodate twenty people.

After the waiter brought Tang Ying and others in, the scholars who had listened to the waiter's bragging before also came to the shopkeeper and wanted to live here. However, the shopkeeper said there were no rooms available as soon as he opened his mouth.

Most people didn't say much after hearing this, and turned around to look for accommodation in other inns. After all, since it was a big exam this year, they didn't arrive early, so it was normal that there were no guest rooms.

Only two scholars were a little unwilling to give in, saying that Tang Ying and his group came with them, so why did they have rooms but they had none?

The shopkeeper had seen many unreasonable scholars like this before, so he snorted and laughed, "They live in Lanting Garden, which costs 100 taels of silver a day, and they rented it half a month ago. If you two have enough money, I have another vacant Youlan Courtyard, which costs 150 taels a day. Would you like to stay there?"

The two scholars' eyes widened when they heard this. They hesitated for a long time and finally lowered their heads and left quickly. Not to mention the 150 taels a day, they couldn't even afford to live in the upper room at 15 taels a day.

Actually, the charges of inns in the capital city are not usually high, but in this year of great fortune, there are so many people coming to Beijing to take the exams that there are simply not enough rooms to stay in the inns in this city. Naturally, the prices have increased several times. Even so, there is no need to worry about no one staying there.

Of course, Tang Ying and the others didn't know about this. The shopkeeper didn't mention any charges when they registered. The waiter took them into Lanting Garden and introduced the rooms in the courtyard to everyone.

"This is how the house is. If you need to use this small kitchen, just call us and we'll bring whatever you need. If you don't need it, you can just tell us what you want to eat and the kitchen will make it for you."

"Okay, then could you please bring the things in our car over?"

"Of course you can. Please take a look at the rooms first. I will bring your things here in a moment. Someone will also be arranged to take care of the carriage. Don't worry."

The waiter was about to leave when Lu Hu stopped him: "Wait a minute."

The waiter turned back in confusion, and Lu Hu said to Tang Ying, "I rented the carriage. I had agreed with them before that after we arrived in the capital, we would settle the bill and let them leave. I will go and deal with this matter first."

Tang Ying naturally nodded in agreement. After all, if they had rented a carriage and kept delaying the journey, they would have to pay extra for it. His father-in-law was unwilling to use his money, so naturally he wanted to help save some.

"Father-in-law, just go and take care of it yourself. Just ask the waiter to find someone to deliver the things."

Lu Hu agreed and left with the waiter.

Tang Ying turned around and looked at the rooms. In fact, these rooms all looked similar. Three people could live in one room without any problem. They were obviously prepared for a large group of people like them.

What Tang Ying didn't know was that these rooms had actually been rearranged. Although the rooms were similar in size before, the furnishings were arranged at different heights. This was to make it easier to distinguish between hosts and guests. It was Lu Feng who had instructed that all the rooms be made the same.

"Can you guys make arrangements for each other in these rooms?"

Everyone in the room had seen it before and didn't think there was much difference, so they expressed their opinions immediately.

Qin Tong and his two servants occupied one room, Zhang Hai and his servant also occupied one room, and the other three who didn't bring servants wanted to share one room, but were interrupted by Tang Ying, who let Zhang Jun and Yu Ning share one room, and Li Long and Qin Tong and one of their servants share one room. There was no need for the three of them to squeeze together.

Although Qin Tong's servant was arranged to live with Li Long, they had no objection. After all, they had become familiar with each other over the years and it was fine for them to live together.

After dealing with a few people, Tang Ying arranged the rest by himself. Lu Hu and his wife had one room, his mother had a separate room, and he and Lu Jian had another room. The steward Liu Bo and the cook Wang were husband and wife, so it was only right for them to live together.

Then there were two little maids, Wenzhu and Wenxiang, who lived together, and his servant Tang Qing who lived with Lu Yao.

After some arrangements, ten rooms were just right.
