After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

As soon as he entered the city gate of the capital, Mingjun knocked on the car window and said to Thirteen outside: "Uncle Thirteen, you'd better find a reliable inn to stay in first!"

In fact, Thirteen Special Bi wanted to lead the convoy directly to the Duke's Mansion. After all, the Duke would be very happy to see the two young masters. But if they go directly to Fangshi where the dignitaries live, they will definitely attract the attention of the concierges.

At this time, Granny Yan, who was sitting in front of the carriage, suddenly spoke. "Master, if you don't mind, you can stay at the maid's house then."

Mingjun and Mingjia looked at each other in the carriage, both eyes filled with shock.

Ming Jun didn't expect that the mother-in-law next to his sister would have a house in a place where land is so valuable in the capital. From what I heard, it was at least a two-entry courtyard. Otherwise, there really would be nothing to arrange for them and a few carriages.

In fact, Mingjia had roughly guessed Mrs. Yan's origins over the years, so she was even more shocked. Could it be that I guessed it completely wrong?

"Master?" Mrs. Yan reminded her again outside the car door. After entering the city, the carriage completely slowed down, giving Mingjun and Mingjia a lot of time to think.

In the end, Mingjia looked at her brother Mingjun and nodded, indicating that she agreed to go to Mrs. Yan's house to rest for one night, and then go out to find a suitable place to live tomorrow.

Mingjia knew that Mrs. Yan was originally invited to Qu County by her master Xie Boyuan, and she had been with Mrs. Yan day and night for so many years. Mingjia still trusted Mrs. Yan very much.

They entered the city from the north gate of the capital. Mrs. Yan sat in front of the first carriage and showed the driver the way. Pass through Hubu via Xuanwu Street and head east.

Mingjun and Mingjia quietly opened the corner of the car curtain. Mingjia happened to see the door of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. As expected of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the door was beautifully built.

This capital city has always had a saying: "The west city is expensive, the east city is rich, the north city is poor, and the south city is cheap!"

Houses in the West City are not something you can buy if you have money. As for the houses in the East City, they can be considered a wealthy area in the capital. Mingjia seemed to be walking eastward. It seemed that Mrs. Yan's home was in Dongcheng!

Mingjia was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Shisan's voice, "Master Mingjia, Changxingfang is on our left, and your shop is in Changxingfang."

Mingjia came to his senses instantly and turned to the window on his brother's side. Mingjia could only see a cluster of houses, not her shop at all. Mingjia sat back down with some disappointment.

Seeing Ming Jia's appearance, Ming Jun comforted Ming Jia and said, "Jia Jia, let's go see Uncle Li tomorrow and then go to the shop in the afternoon?"

Although Mingjia was disappointed not to see his shop, he was not going to have a look tomorrow. "Brother, I have a lot of things to do when I come to the capital this time. Don't worry about the shop."

Three years ago, that is, the tenth year of Kaiyuan. Li Hansheng originally planned to give Ming Jia a fifth birthday gift, which was originally a professionally trained female secret guard. Everything was agreed upon.

Finally, Xie's daughter suddenly presented a design drawing of a new type of crossbow, which could fire ten short arrows continuously. Emperor Liang was overjoyed and immediately asked Xie's daughter what reward she wanted. Xie's daughter asked Emperor Liang for a female guard.

In short, in the end, Xie Boyuan helped Mingjia take over a three-story shop in Changxingfang, the east city of Beijing. Xie Boyuan didn't ask who owned the shop, and Ming Jia didn't know the inside story.

In the spring of the eleventh year of Kaiyuan, Mingjia received a box from the capital. When he opened it, he saw that it was a house deed, or a house deed from the capital. Mingjia was so happy. She couldn't even think about the house in the capital in her previous life.

Until Mingjia is coming to the capital with her brother Mingjun this time. Xie Boyuan just took some time to tell the story of the shop and its causes and consequences.

To put it simply, the prince cooperated with the Xie family daughter to open a shop. The Xie family daughter came up with endless ways to make money and was intercepted several times. Therefore, the prince wanted to give the Xie family daughter a skilled female guard.

In the middle, Li Hansheng used Xie Boyuan's name to take away the female guards who were still in training from Emperor Liang. However, in the end, the Xie family daughter and the emperor asked for it back.

The prince only found out afterwards that this female guard was found by Taifu Xie for his junior sister. Finally, a shop was sent to Li Hansheng's house as an apology. After Li Hansheng wrote to ask Xie Boyuan, he sent the deed to Qu County.

In fact, when Mingjia got the deed, she was definitely happy for the first time, but at that time she already knew that there was a "fellow countryman" in the capital. After thinking about it for a few days, Mingjia decided to only open an ordinary shop in the capital. bookstore.

The bookstore in Beijing is also called Shiqulou, but only the first floor is open for business and only sells some books. However, the book list of Zhiqulou is relatively complete, including not only books on the imperial examination, so it has become somewhat famous among the students in the capital within two years.

Mingjia was actually not in a hurry to go to Zhiqulou. After all, the shop was the shopkeeper and accountant that his master Xie Boyuan helped find. Mingjia was reassured that nothing would go wrong.

Later, Mingjia had no intention to continue looking at the scene outside the car window. Mingjia kept thinking about things by herself until the carriage stopped in front of a yard.

Mrs. Yan jumped out of the carriage first and went up to knock on the door. After waiting for a while, an old woman slowly opened the door a crack and stuck her head out to see who was knocking.

The old woman was getting older and her eyes were a little cloudy. It took her a while to recognize who was standing outside the door. "Yan Niang! You're back!"

Mrs. Yan stepped forward and took the old woman's hand, and said excitedly: "Aunt Xu, I'm back! Don't cry, let's go in first and then talk." Mrs. Yan turned around and greeted Thirteen and others to drive the carriage into the yard. .

After the carriage entered the yard, Mrs. Yan walked to the carriage and said, "You two young masters, this is the old slave's home."

Mingjun walked out of the carriage first, jumped off the carriage, and then helped Ming Jia out of the carriage. Mingjun and Mingjia looked at the courtyard together. They saw that it was very spacious, and there was at least one entrance behind it.

Mingjun turned to look at Granny Yan, "Grandma Yan, this is your home. Guests can do as they please! Everything is at your discretion."

Mrs. Yan is not a shy person, and all rooms are cleaned from time to time. Mrs. Yan quickly arranged the accommodation for everyone and the locations of several horses.

"You two young masters, you guys have a cup of tea and have a rest first. I'll go down and get ready to eat." After settling everything, Mrs. Yan took Aunt Xu down with her.

As soon as Granny Yan went down, Uncle Li came in. Uncle Li glanced around and then lowered his voice and said: "Master, this is relatively outside the east city. There is a row of wing rooms at the end of this house, which is a two-and-a-half yard."

After saying that, Uncle Li was a little worried that Mingjun and Mingjia didn't understand the distribution and layout of the houses in the capital. He quickly explained: "Although the houses here are not as expensive as those in the inner city, they are not cheap either. Moreover, the size of this house is comparable to an ordinary family's three-in courtyard."

This is the hand-drawn map of the capital. Let’s just take a look at it.
