The official road of the farmer

Before Ye Junshu got up, he was woken up by the noise outside.

He had a silly fun all night yesterday, his spirits were extremely high, and he closed his eyes almost at dawn.

Ye Junshu gave himself a rare indulgence, he didn't get up to exercise, he didn't think he was lying on the bed, but was woken up by the energetic children.

He was still lying on the bed with a lazy expression, and the well-dressed twins ran into the room yelling.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, Big Brother..."

The twins quickly climbed onto the bed, and rolled on top of Ye Junshu like an arhat, "Big Brother, Big Brother, get up! The sun is shining!"

"Brother is a pig, we are all up!"

"Huh?" Ye Junshu made a nasal sound, and then covered the twins with his long arms, easily crushing the twins, causing the twins to scream and blushing.

"Who's a pig? Huh?" Ye Junshu stretched out his finger, tickling.

"Ha ha……"

After playing with the twins for a while, Ye Junshu got up to wash up, and they kept urging, "Hurry up, brother! Let's go outside and play!"

Sitting in the carriage yesterday, I saw a lot of interesting places and many people. They were so greedy, so I came to pester my elder brother early in the morning to let him take them out.

Ye Junshu naturally wouldn't respond, they are newcomers, so it's good to get acquainted with the place.

Outside Xiaoshan and the others also got ready early, and they were looking forward to going out to visit Beijing.

Seeing this, Steward Tian personally led people to follow. On the one hand, it was convenient to lead the way, and on the other hand, there were many people in Beijing. The young masters and young masters of the Ye family had just arrived, and they were unfamiliar with the place, so it would be more reassuring to have them follow.

Although the children were very excited, they were still very obedient. They held hands obediently and did not run around. They just dragged people to the booth when they saw something they were interested in.

Xiaoshan and Nan Chenghe were holding one of the twins, Lu Geer and Qin Geer were also holding each other tightly, and several domestic servants followed him closely. Ye Junshu was quite relieved, he and Tian Guanshi lagged behind, watching the children while taking a leisurely pace walking.

Ye Junshu suddenly remembered something, so he said to Guanshi Tian: "Uncle Tian, ​​can I trouble you to pay attention to where is there a house to buy? It is best to be in the east or here. The price is not a problem. Safer locations are all Can."

Tian Guanshi has been in Beijing for many years, and he has dealt with many people, so the gossip should be more well-informed. After thinking about it, Ye Junshu still thinks that it is better to ask Tian Guanshi for help.

When Tian Guanshi heard this, he immediately said nervously: "But where is the young one not entertaining well? Or is it a servant who upset you, young master?"

"Uncle Tian, ​​don't be nervous, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that you know that my family will live in Shangjing for a long time in the future. It's okay to stay at the brother's house for a short period of time. If I stay for a long time, I'm embarrassed." Ye Junshu explained with a smile.

Tian Guanshi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn't their Fang family's problem, and then said, "Don't worry about this young master Ye, my master has told you repeatedly that it's fine for young master Ye to live in the mansion all the time, you just treat it as your own home." Same."

"I know that senior brother treats me well, but the senior brother's family will come back sooner or later, and then we can't live there with the cheek. It's always inconvenient." Ye Junshu stopped.

Tian Guanshi understood Ye Junshu's meaning after thinking about it carefully, but he hesitated for a while and didn't nod because of his master's explanation.

Ye Junshu smiled and continued: "Uncle Tian, ​​you can just look for it slowly, don't worry, I want to bother you more!"

After Tian Guanshi heard this, he knew that Young Master Ye's family didn't want to move out immediately, so he readily agreed, "Since that's the case, don't worry, Young Master Ye, I will do my best."

"So, thank you, Uncle Tian."

Manager Tian took several servants and played with their brothers in Shangjing for a few days.

Although there are many nobles in the capital, there are still mostly qualified children. It is not that there are unreasonable playboys everywhere on the street.After all, this is at the feet of the emperor, and the officials bumped into it, and directly participated in the "the family education is not strict, and the son commits murder", but it would make people laugh.

Tian Guanshi knew Shangjing very well, so he naturally knew where to take the children for fun and where the excitement was.

So the children had a great time shopping, and they couldn't think of leaving.

After Ye Junshu consciously memorized the terrain, after a few days, he finally had a rough impression of Shangjing. At least he went out alone, so he wouldn't get lost and come back somehow.

Speaking of this, Ye Junshu thought of the third young master, but unfortunately he kept paying attention to his surroundings these days, and among the strangers coming and going, he never saw the third young master again.

He felt pity, faintly lost.

After solving one matter, Ye Junshu wanted to inquire about which college in Beijing was more suitable for Xiaoshan and the others to continue their studies.

In Yongzhou, Ye Junshu saw that Xiaoshan and the others were studying well, and he didn't want to delay their homework, so he wanted to find a college so that they could continue their studies.

But Xiaoshan and the others said that they are not in a hurry to go to school, at least wait until the exams are over next year.

Now the elder brother is in a critical period, Xiaoshan and the others don't want the elder brother to waste too much energy on other things.

They left Yongzhou at the end of September and came to Shangjing. It is not yet November, and the weather is not too cold, but it is already getting colder.

They still don't know what the weather is like in Beijing in winter, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so even if they start school immediately, they won't be able to go to school for a few days.Xiaoshan and the others have always felt that it would be best for them to re-enroll in June or July next year.

The children spoke logically, and Ye Junshu respected the children's opinions, so he was not in a hurry to find a school.

His eyes looked at the twins who were chasing and fighting each other, and then moved to Ye Junwei.

The fifth younger brother was seven years old at the beginning of the new year, and he had reached the age of entering school, so it was time to get ready.

Ye Junshu was also worried that the children would not be acclimatized in a different place, so he decided to let them get used to it first, and wait for next year to discuss everything.

On the third day in Beijing, Ye Junshu repaired a few letters and sent them back to Yongzhou and Fengcheng counties to chat about the current situation.

The husband has two sons, besides Qin Yaoliang, there is also an eldest son.The eldest son had studied in Beijing for more than ten years, and finally achieved good results in the last general examination. After some work, he found a ninth-rank official position and served as a county magistrate in a county in Yongzhou.

After returning to Fengcheng County for a period of time in the past two years, I took my husband and son to take up the post.

The husband and the teacher have stayed in Fengcheng County for decades, and they don't want to leave, let alone their youngest son, Xiaoer Fulang, so they are not too disappointed.

Although he and Senior Brother Qin had exchanged a few letters, they had never met each other after all, and there was a sense of politeness and estrangement between the lines. Senior Brother Qin mentioned a few friends he had a good relationship with when he was in Beijing, so that he could ask those people for help when he was in trouble.

However, Ye Junshu didn't want to rashly enter the senior brother's circle of friends. He just came to Beijing and didn't want to complicate his interpersonal relationship.

His top priority now is next year's test.

Even if there is communication, he thinks that he will be with Yu Maolin when the time comes.

Speaking of him, Ye Junshu remembered that since the city gate, he hadn't seen Yu Maolin for many days. He thought about it, after so many days, the Yu family should have settled down.

It's time for him to pay a visit. If he doesn't, Yu Maolin will lose his temper.

But his house is on the east side, and Fang's house is on the west side, one east and one west, across the entire Shangjing, and Shangjing is so grand that it would take them a whole morning to walk.

So Steward Fang asked a servant to drive the carriage to take them there.

Because the carriage could not travel fast, they sat in the carriage for an entire hour.

The children are not bored watching the scenery outside through the curtains.

The Yu family occupies a rich character. Although there is no clan member in the family who is a high-ranking official, it is said that the Yu family has existed since the previous dynasty, and outsiders cannot understand the background of the family.

The Yu family is a family of squires with a huge family system, but their behavior is extremely low-key. Ye Junshu and Yu Maolin lived together for two years before they got to know a little bit.

As the second son of the head of the Yu family, Yu Maolin was gifted and intelligent since he was a child. He was the best at reading and the most promising member of the Yu family.

Although the Yu family has a wealth of wealth, but few generations of descendants can study, and it is already the limit to be admitted to the scholar, so the Yu family has never produced a high-ranking official.

The appearance of Yu Maolin, the most qualified, naturally surprised the Yu family, and they almost spoiled him to heaven. Basically, Yu Maolin was responsive at home, and whatever he said, he did.

A few years ago, when he took the talent examination together, Yu Maolin trusted that so-called friend too much. After all, the other party had been following him since he was a teenager, so he accidentally got recruited.

Even if Yu Maolin didn't pass the exam later, even if that person got the first place in the exam, what's the use?If you completely offend the Yu family, what good will happen?Now, that person is nowhere to be found.

It is said that when he came to the capital a few years ago, he accidentally offended a certain high-ranking official, and was deprived of his honor as a candidate, and was no longer allowed to take scientific examinations.

After Ye Junshu learned about these things, he acted more cautiously.

Yu's house occupies a vast area, and it is somewhat different from Fang's house.

Seeing the brothers from the Ye family coming, Yu Maolin looked very unhappy. Of course, he didn't dislike them, but rather, "Oh, so you still remember me. I thought you guys had forgotten me a long time ago."

Ye Junshu rubbed his nose, winked at the twins, and the twins ran over happily, hugged Yu Maolin's thigh and acted like a spoiled child, blinking their big watery eyes, "Brother Maolin, we miss you so much! We don't have enough tea these days!" If you don't want to think about rice, look at me and fifth brother have lost weight!"

Brother Jing held his chubby face and said pitifully.

Yu Maolin looked down, opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Well, I have indeed lost weight, won't your elder brother give you food? Come and live with me, I have everything to eat and play here."

"Brother has something to eat, we are thinking of you, brother Maolin, why don't you come to us?" Ye Junwei complained, his small eyes were sad.

"Brother Maolin forgot for a while, and will definitely look for you next time."

"That's it!"

"Don't be foolish!"

"..."

The twins entangled for a while, and Yu Maolin finally showed a smile on his face. Although he speaks a bit harshly, he is still very popular with children. Well, he also likes well-behaved and obedient children.

Yu Maolin touched the twins' heads.

After asking the servant to take the children down, Ye Junshu asked Yu Maolin, "What are your plans next?"

Half a year before the exam, do they all review their homework by themselves?Ye Junshu felt that working behind closed doors would not help their scientific research.

The only teacher who taught him was far away in Yongzhou, and did not follow him to the capital. The distant water cannot save the nearby fire.

When discussing academic problems, Ye Junshu didn't know who to turn to except Yu Maolin.

Yu Maolin said: "The Imperial Academy is of little use to us. My teacher has entrusted a great Confucian to guide us in other aspects of knowledge."

His words showed that Ye Junshu was also responsible.

Yu Maolin continued, "We have learned almost all the knowledge we can learn from books. What we need to learn now is to understand the latest information in Beijing and China, and grasp the latest current affairs. There are also some ways to be an official."

"The most important thing is to break into the circle in Beijing."

"But this is not urgent, half a year will pass in a flash, let's focus on the exam first."

Ye Junshu nodded, this was in line with his thoughts, so naturally he had no objection.

However, Yu Maolin was still quite dissatisfied, with a sneering look on his face, "How do you go to class? Are you flying over?"

The east and west are far apart.

Ye Junshu said "uh", "Even if I don't live in Fang's house, I can't live in your house all the time!"

He frowned, "Why not?" Isn't it the same as renting his house in Yongzhou?

"My surname is Ye, not Yu. What's more, I'm already planning to buy a house in Beijing. As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse. It's more comfortable to live in your own home."

Always renting other people's homes, not to mention the children, even he has no sense of security.

It's not that he can't afford it, so why keep taking advantage of others?Even if the other party doesn't dislike him, he dislikes himself!

Yu Maolin frowned, and relaxed again, "Since that's the case, then you can buy it around here. The people living here are either rich or expensive, so don't worry about safety, and there are Jingwei patrolling at night."

Ye Junshu nodded, that's exactly what he meant.

"If you have connections in Beijing, you might as well help me to pay attention." Shangjing is to the north, and it is said that it will snow in December. Ye Junshu still hopes to get the house done before the snow falls.

Yu Maolin nodded readily, "No problem."
