People always think I'm a broken sleeve

After leaving Xuanfu, Bizhu couldn't help but asked again: "Why didn't your lord stay in...uh..."

Bizhu looked back at the plaque hanging on the gate behind her.

Bizhu turned her head again, with a puzzled expression: "Why don't you stay in Xuanfu, my lord? If you want to rent a house, you will have to spend a lot of money..."

The corner of Su Bian's eyes twitched, "There is no reason."

If you stay in Xuanfu...

OK.

According to Xuan Yue's temperament, I am afraid that he will not be safe when he sleeps at night.

Su Bian didn't answer, Bizhu was curious about the reason, but other things attracted her attention even more.

Bizhu asked curiously: "When did my lord become Lord Jiuqing? What is Lord Jiuqing? Where was my lord arrested last night? Why was my lord arrested? My lord

Why was the capital captured by officers and soldiers when he arrived in the capital yesterday?It doesn't make sense.And...how did your lord know this...uh...Master Guowei in Xuanfu?country

What is Mr. Wei?Is it a big official? "

Bizhu twittered, asking questions one after another without stopping.

The corners of Su Bian's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but raised his hand to press the swollen eyebrows.

Su Bian said, "Stop."

Bizhu's voice stopped abruptly.

Su Bian said coldly: "Go back to the inn and talk about it."

Bizhu looked at Su Bian's darkened face, silently said "oh", and closed her mouth obediently.

But immediately, Bi Zhu became happy again.

——In any case, it is enough for the adults to come back safely!

Su Bian lifted his leg and was about to walk in the direction of the inn, when he lifted his foot, he stopped.

Su Bian looked at the street that he had clearly walked through two or three times before him, and was silent for a few seconds.

Su Bian turned his head and asked, "...Do you know the way?"

Bi Zhu nodded inexplicably, "Know the way."

Only then did Su Bian feel relieved, and said lightly, "Lead the way."

Although Bizhu didn't know why, she obediently walked ahead.

Bizhu's sense of direction was obviously much better than Su Bian's, and after a while, she returned to the Yuelai Inn.

The waiter and shopkeeper were very surprised to see that Su Bian and Bizhu returned to the inn intact.

They thought that Bizhu, who was invited to Xuanfu by Wan Gaozhan, and Su Bian, who took the initiative to go to Xuanfu, must have died long ago.

Because of this, Su Bian and Bi Zhu's rooms were cleaned up, waiting for new guests to move in.

Because in the eyes of the people in the capital, Xuanfu is just like Yanluofu.

If you go in, don't even think about coming back alive.

As soon as Su Bian and Bizhu stepped into the inn, the shopkeeper and the waiter greeted them, with surprised and unbelievable expressions, as if they thought they had seen a ghost.

The shopkeeper looked at Su Bian and Bi Zhu, and said nervously, "You two...are they alive?"

Su Bian: "..."

Bizhu on the side heard this, and said angrily, "What is the shopkeeper talking about? Isn't it a living person or a ghost?!"

The shopkeeper quickly apologized and said with a smile: "People who have gone to the Xuanfu usually have a hard time coming back alive. Isn't this a misunderstanding..."

Su Bian didn't react at all, after all, he was not surprised to see a dancer with a weapon hidden under her skirt trying to assassinate Xuan Yue.

However, Bizhu, who didn't know it, suddenly widened her eyes, looked back at Su Bian in horror, and asked, "My lord, is it really...really?"

Su Bian said expressionlessly, "Although that's not the case, it's best not to mess with Xuan Yue."

Su Bian never said anything to be afraid of in front of Bi Zhu, not even Huo Zun and Huo Chengyao back then.

Therefore, it can be seen that Xuanyue is terrifying.

Bizhu swallowed in fear, and immediately understood why Su Bian insisted on leaving Xuanfu.

Remembering that she was not afraid of death just now and wanted to persuade her lord to live in Xuanfu...

Bi Zhu touched the goosebumps on her arm that aroused instantly, feeling lingering fear.

Bizhu didn't speak any more, the shopkeeper continued to make amends and said with a smile: "Can the two guests stay in the house?"

Su Bianen let out a sigh, and raised her chin in Bizhu's direction.

Bizhu reacted quickly, unpacked the burden she had been carrying all the way, and then took out two coins from the money bag and handed it over.

The shopkeeper took it with a smile on his face, hurriedly put it into his arms, and then said considerately: "The room has been cleaned by the two guest officers. If there is any other need, just ask

ordered. "

Su Bian gave a faint grace, and went upstairs.

Bizhu hurriedly followed.

After going upstairs, Bizhu followed Su Bian into the room.

Just when Bizhu put down the burden in her hand and was about to get up and leave the room, Su Bian called her to stop.

Su Bian said, "Wait."

Bizhu paused, looked up at Su Bian, with an inexplicable expression, "...my lord?"

Su Bian asked, "How much money does it cost to rent a mansion?"

Bizhu thought about it for a while, and replied obediently: "I remember that in Ningxiang, the houses of ordinary people seem to cost a few hundred taels of silver, and the larger ones are about 1000 taels of silver. But if

It's just that ordinary courtyard houses only cost a few dozen taels at most. "

Su Bian recalled the remaining money recorded in the ledger and remained silent.

Under the extravagance of Zhuang Duxin, a stupid official, there is only less than 800 taels of silver left in the Zhuang mansion.

Now that he has been promoted, he has become the so-called Lord Jiuqing. Because he wants to work in the Taiqing Academy, he naturally has to rent a mansion in the capital to live in.

As for buying... don't even think about it, you can't afford it at all.

But the problem is... no money.

If he spent the remaining 800 taels of silver, he might really want to drink the northwest wind.

Of course, there is another option, which is to go to Xuanfu.

But Su Bian didn't intend to think about it.

Su Bian raised his hand and pressed his temple, then asked: "How much money will it cost to rent a mansion in the capital?"

Bizhu didn't even think about it, said: "I don't know...but it will definitely be much more expensive than Ningxiang."

Su Bian was silent again.

At this time, Bizhu finally realized something belatedly, opened her eyes wide, and said in amazement: "Is your lord planning to live in the capital? But what about the yamen?"

Su Bianjing said: "I am no longer the county magistrate, and the Yamen has nothing to do with me."

Bi Zhu was stunned, and said dumbfounded: "My lord... Your lord is no longer a county magistrate? Why? Could it be that someone framed your lord and caused him to lose his official position? Ah! Is it that?

A prefect of Huaizhou!He must have moved his hands and feet! "

Bizhu spoke incoherently, thinking that Su Bian might be framed and lose his official position, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth angrily.

Bizhu was still speculating on the side that Su Bian was no longer the county magistrate, so Su Bian cut it off lightly.

Su Bian said expressionlessly, "Stop."

Bizhu's voice stopped abruptly.

Su Bian then said expressionlessly, "It's promotion, not impeachment."

Bizhu slowly opened her mouth wide, and said in surprise, "Really...really?! Wow—my lord has been promoted!"

Bi Zhu walked around the room happily, laughing loudly, and kept repeating 'My lord is promoted, my lord is promoted~'.

Su Bian liked to be quiet at first, but after holding back for two seconds, seeing that Bizhu hadn't stopped, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Be quiet."

Bizhu's laughter stopped instantly.

Back to the topic.

Su Bian figured it out.

In order not to go to Xuanfu, even if the family goes bankrupt, the mansion must be rented.

Su Bian sat on the chair in the room, thought for a while, looked at Bizhu, and said expressionlessly, "Will you bargain?"

Bi Zhu was stunned, "...No."

Once Bizhu worked as a maid, she rarely even went out, so how could she possibly haggle the price.

Hearing that Bizhu would not, Su Bian remained silent again.

Because Su Bian wouldn't either.

I have always been reticent, so how could I negotiate the price with others.

In order to avoid wasting words with others on the price, in that world, Su Bian never went to those small markets that never had a price tag.

Seeing that Su Bian was silent again, Bi Zhu raised her hand carefully and said, "Although I can't, but I can try..."

Su Bian raised his eyes again, and looked in Bizhu's direction again.

Seeing Su Bian looking over, Bizhu blinked quickly.

But because today he was being interrogated in the torture chamber of the Taiqing Court, lost his way, and went to the Xuanfu to pick up someone...

At this time, Su Bian was exhausted physically and mentally, and he had no intention of taking care of other things.

Su Bianjing said: "Rest today, and go to the streets tomorrow. Go back to your room and rest."

Bizhu responded happily, "Yes, my lord~"

After answering, he slowly retreated.When leaving, he thoughtfully closed the door for Su Bian.

Bizhu bounced back to her room, thinking that she would be able to go to the street with her adults tomorrow, she was very excited.

Hey, I can go to the street with adults tomorrow!

This time, the other side.

The servant following Wan Gaozhan took the land deed tremblingly handed over by the other party, checked that the land deed was indeed stamped with the seal of Shuntian Mansion, and then took out three thousand taels from his bosom.

The bank note was handed over.

After the man took it, he asked cautiously: "The villain, dare to ask Mr. Wan... How could Mr. Guo Wei suddenly look at this poor house of Caomin?"

In fact, the house that that person was talking about was not broken, it was even a lot more luxurious than that of ordinary people, but compared with Xuanfu... it was completely broken.

After the man's words fell, Wan Gaozhan gave him a cool look.

Wan Gaozhan said: "Some things should be asked, and some things should not be asked... Can you tell the difference clearly?"

The man fell silent for a moment, not daring to speak again.

Seeing this, Wan Gaozhan slowly looked away.

Immediately afterwards, the servant standing behind Wan Gaozhan flipped through the account book in his hand and said, "There are two more places on Xuanwu Street."

Wan Gao Zhan said kindly, "Buy it."

The servant understood clearly, and when he flipped to a certain place, the injured movement paused slightly.

The servant hesitated and said, "There is an empty house next to the Prime Minister's mansion."

Wan Gaozhan paused for a moment before saying, "Don't worry about it. The Prime Minister is always quiet and will not sell the house to others."

The servant responded respectfully, "Yes."

The next day, Bi Zhu, who had been excited all night, woke up early.

As soon as she woke up, Bi Zhu couldn't wait to run to Su Bian's door and knock on the door.

Bizhu said: "My lord, it's time, it's time to—"

Before the word "get up" could be said, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the inside.

Bizhu looked at Su Bian, who was fully clothed, and her voice stopped abruptly.

Su Bian glanced at Bizhu and said, "Let's go."

Bizhu followed happily.

After walking two steps, Su Bian suddenly remembered something again and paused.

Su Bian turned back, "By the way, can you tell the way?"

Bizhu nodded inexplicably, and then couldn't help but wonder: "...Didn't your lord already ask yesterday?"

Su Bian expressionless: "Just to confirm again."

Bi Zhu's expression seemed to understand.
