Crossing the Datang Restaurant

At night, Rong Yushu and Tang Guang were lying on the same bed, and Rong Yushu felt a little uncomfortable no matter how he lay down.

There is no other reason, it's just that Rong Yushu couldn't get used to this kind of hard bed before. The hard bed is fine. Tang Guang is a martial arts practitioner. There is only a thin layer of cushion on the bed, and he can feel the hardness under his body. It was almost freezing outside, and there was only a blanket on the bed.

One bed, Rong Yushu curled himself up like a shrimp, shivering from the cold. At this time in the past, his bed had at least three blankets, and there were two or three beds under it. It's not that he is weak, But this winter, it's snowing outside, and the dripping water turns into ice at the coldest time, but if Rong Yushu sleeps in Tang Guang's bed all night, it's probably the end of a popsicle when he wakes up in the morning.

Tang Guang felt that the people around him were trembling, and asked, "Is it cold?" So he found it a bit difficult to deal with. He had been sleeping all the time before. People who practice martial arts are full of blood, and they are usually a kind of cultivation. , the blood is boiling, and the cold itself is nothing.

Rong Yushu's tongue buckled, and he just kept nodding his head.

There was no extra bedding around him, and he didn't need it. Some hesitation, he stretched out his arms to hug Rong Yushu, and the place where he started was icy cold. It seemed that it was really cold, and the heat gradually passed from his body. Tang Guang frowned slightly, Sighing, he leaned over with his feet, but as expected, it was also icy cold.

Feeling a little guilty in his heart, he kneaded even tighter, thinking that Rong Yushu's physique was actually leaning towards the cold, but he hadn't considered it.And the previous bedding, there were a few beds borrowed, but they were all given to Brother Ming and Ah Fu.

Rong Yushu gradually felt a little warmer, his body gradually relaxed, and he muttered that his body was so good, Tang Guang was next to him, and as he talked, he didn't know what the topic was, so he went to the top of the book .

"Is it okay to hand in that book? Didn't His Majesty say anything?" Rong Yushu was still a little worried. This is how he behaved when he did something wrong, so with his appearance, he must not do bad things in the future, otherwise he would definitely It will be revealed.And he always felt a little uneasy, always felt that this was like a time bomb, and he didn't know when it would explode.

Tang Guang seemed to be aware of Rong Yushu's uneasiness, hugged him in relief, and said, "Don't worry, the Holy Majesty will take care of the things after holding them. Naturally, the fewer people know about such things, the better."

Seemingly off topic, he continued: "Let's talk about your examination. The Holy One specially ordered Shang Shuxing to write a test this year, with the intention of selecting talents from poor families. He will definitely pay attention to the examination. This may be an opportunity for you. "

Rong Yushu seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty is not planning to select talents from poor families because he wants to attack the power of the gentry."

Tang Guang was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Rong Yushu to guess it so quickly. He nodded and didn't intend to hide it, and said, "That's right, the gentry's power in the court has increased in recent years, and they have vaguely reached a certain Consensus, the Holy Majesty has also noticed that if you want to start, you never know where to start, and this imperial examination itself is an opportunity."

Rong Yushu's eyes rolled around, and when Tang Guang interrupted, he rubbed his head helplessly and said, "Why are you asking so many questions, I'm going to bed soon."

Rong Yushu held back his mouth, his eyes gradually closed, the coldness of the bed seemed to be removed little by little, and he slept more peacefully.

When I woke up in the morning, there was still snow outside the door, but the weather was good. I got up a little late, and the faint light of the sun rose in the sky, and the light blue sky under the gray clouds in the sky was extremely fast. On the ground, the snow layer on the ground seems to have melted a little. Of course, the weather has become colder.

The Chongxianfang district that Tang Guang mentioned before is not very far away from here. If you walk, it is only about one or two square districts away. It is simply a walk, go out from the back, and walk all the way here , when viewed from the outside of the city wall, the branches on the wall are jagged and protrude faintly, some of which already have buds. If it is spring, the scenery with a branch of red apricot coming out of the wall must be even more beautiful.

Entering the square area, the steam from the small shop next to it made people feel warmer. The slightly sweet smell from the steamed buns rushed to the nostrils. They hadn't had breakfast yet, so they couldn't help but feel hungry after smelling this smell.

Sitting down, I ordered a bun with stuffing and hot tea, and ate it.

In the middle of the meal, Rong Yushu greeted the boss and asked, "Boss, please tell me, do you know that there is a house in this area that needs to be rented out temporarily?"

Just happened to be busy with the work in hand, and when he heard Rong Yushu's question, he came over and said with a smile: "Look at your appearance, he must be going to Chang'an to take the exam."

Rong Yushu nodded with a smile.

I just heard the boss ask: "There is a house. The exam has always been in the South Campus of the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province. The road just outside goes straight down, and you will arrive after five or six squares. It is very convenient, but Lang You haven’t rented for a long time, so it may be hard to find a house.”

Rong Yushu was a little disappointed, he knew that the renting period like his was not long, at most four months, and the renters were not very happy to rent a house.

Although the boss has a good location and is well informed, he doesn't know much about these things, but looking at Rong Yushu, he was a little embarrassed and couldn't bear it, so he said: "I have a way, there is a The child, who lost his mother since he was a child, is unrestrained, and usually relies on a well-informed person to do things. Usually, if there is any news in the vicinity that needs to be inquired, you can go to him. Come and go. If we need to recruit people or rent a house here Yes, you can look for him, there are many officials, wait a minute, when that guy comes later, you can ask him."

Rong Yushu thought about it, it was an idea, so he waited at the stall, today Brother Ming accompanied him out, sat here drinking hot tea, it was warm, so he waited for a while.

After about a stick of incense, a person appeared in Rong Yushu's field of vision, wearing a jacket that was already a little white, the fur on the shoulders and collar was a little sparse, and wearing a felt hat. He looked a little shivering in the wind, he was about 20 years old, his cheeks were a little thin, but he looked quite smart, and walked towards this side.

When I walked to the boss's booth, before I could speak, I heard the boss hurriedly say, "Daniu, come here, this way." Then he pulled Daniel to Rong Yushu, and said, "This The official wants to find a place to live here, and he will wait until April or May before leaving, do you have a suitable place here?"

Da Niu was not willing at first, and said loudly that he hadn't eaten yet. When he heard that he had a business, he immediately changed his usual face and said with a smile: "Does the official want to stay here temporarily?" ? Just find me, within a radius of ten miles, who... Ouch, don't step on me."

The boss told him to speak up, and there happened to be another guest, so he went to greet him in a panic, leaving Daniel sitting here.

Rong Yushu poured him a cup of tea, with a soft and handsome expression on his face, which made the latter mutter for a while, and asked: "I want to find a place to live nearby, and it will be available in April or May. Let's go, do you have a suitable place?"

Daniu smiled hesitantly, a little flattering, and looked a little tender, and said hurriedly: "Of course, I have several places here, do the officials have any requirements? Of course, cleanliness is affirmative. Is there any need for size? "

Brother Ming hurriedly said: "First of all, there must be a bright place, and second, it needs to be cleaner. You don't need a big yard, an ordinary one is fine."

Daniel thought for a while and said: "Yes, there is a woman in this workshop who rented it for a short period of time before, and the price is not too expensive. A while ago, a group of businessmen just left. It's just been free for two days, otherwise the officials want to go and have a look."

Of course Rong Yushu agreed, but Daniel said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I haven't had breakfast yet, can I wait?"

Can't help laughing, of course, after the meal, Rong Yushu helped to give it together, anyway, it's not much, just treat it as a tip.Although Daniel knew it, he always felt a little embarrassed for the first time to let such an elegant official pay for his meal.

The house is not far from here, and it didn't take long to arrive. It is a room with blue tiles and earthen walls, and it is the room of an ordinary family. While walking, he said: "Generally speaking, houses at this time are generally more sought-after , Many scholars will come to have a look here, so the price must be more expensive than the previous ones, and it is possible for a house of three or four hundred yuan a month to add a few tens of yuan."

The market has always changed according to needs, and Rong Yushu also expressed his understanding. Before he could get closer, he heard Daniel shouting carelessly outside: "Mrs. Wang, I'm bringing someone to see your house, hurry up come out."

After shouting, he immediately changed his appearance, leaned into Rong Yushu's ear and said: "This house is the cheapest. I said it was three hundred and five, which is not big, but this woman is easy to go back on her word. You need to buy it first." Pay her some money in advance, or if you meet a high price, you will rent it to someone else."

Rong Yushu looked at this place, it seems that there are two families here, separated by a wall, it seems that the owner of this house disliked that the place was too big, so he divided a courtyard into two parts, one part lived by his own family, and the other part lived in the house. It is used to rent out and subsidize the family.

A woman, in her 50s, looks treacherous on her face, her eyes are hanging, she is wearing a lot, and her clothes are neat, but her eyes look treacherous, which makes people look inexplicably uncomfortable. Comfortable.

Da Niu seemed a little strange, why did Mrs. Wang come out of this room, and her face seemed to have a wrong expression, and her eyes were a little dodgy. Da Niu frowned, feeling that something was wrong, and said: "Mrs. Wang, you don't know how to bring people Come on."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Where, it's just that there happened to be an official inside who was looking at the house. He asked this by himself. I don't see any news from you here for a long time, so I brought someone over to have a look. "

Daniel sneered, and said: "I don't care about these things, since you have people here, and there are still a few places, I'll just take people there to see."

Rong Yushu stood silent, already thinking about the matter in his heart.

There are many professionals like Daniu in Luoyang. In other words, they exist like intermediaries. Generally speaking, they are well-informed in the city and have good relationships with various families. Even some local hooligans Or the relationship between the yamen is very good. If there is something to do with any house, for example, if you want to sell a house or shop, you need to find someone, or your apprentice needs to find a master, etc., you will ask these people to lead the way and help you. After the completion, you can pay a small amount of money, which is considered as a help fee.

There are such people in any city, whether they are foreigners or locals, they like to ask them for help. Judging by the appearance of this Mrs. Wang, she must have found more than one person, and Da Niu is also one of them. What I wanted was more. It's just a choice, but I didn't tell Daniel beforehand, but now I'm bumping into it.

Rong Yushu also followed his words and said: "It's okay, since there are people here, let's change." Now that the owner has said so, Daniel naturally agrees, and is about to leave, but Mrs. Wang is a bit confused. Anxiously grabbed Rong Yushu, and said: "Hey, don't leave, officials, wait a moment, or go in first and take a look."

Rong Yushu was staggered and almost fell, a little embarrassed, but Brother Ming quickly separated the two of them, with a straight face, he said: "Just say it, what kind of hands are you moving?"

Mrs. Wang smiled brightly, and was about to speak, when the people inside came out, like a book boy, not tall, about the same age as Rong Yushu, and said impatiently: "Woman, can you come in yet?" ?”

Just looking at so many people outside, he was stunned for a while, and when he moved his eyes to Rong Yushu, who was the most graceful in the center, he was even more stunned.

"Rong, Rong..." Rong didn't speak for a long time, and simply ran into the house, the panicked voice inside could be heard almost from outside, "Master, Rong Yushu, Rong Yushu is outside. "

Brother Ming and Rong Yushu rolled their eyes almost at the same time, Rong Yushu was more direct, and said "Fuck" straight out of his mouth, but it was so fast that the people next to him almost didn't hear it.
