The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

In a few days, Shen Zijing said that the house they bought outside had been arranged, and he and Su Yuan were going to move to the small courtyard outside, and before leaving, he had to tell his friends, "We are going to move in tomorrow." Go to the small courtyard outside, it’s a lot of trouble to live with you these days.”

When they came to the capital this time, they planned to live here for a long time and prepare for the next scientific examination, so they decided to buy a small courtyard outside.

Shen Zijing had greeted him before this incident, so Li Wen knew about it, "What are you talking about, is it troublesome or not, and you don't treat me as a brother? If you want me to say, you should just stay here with me. It also saves the trouble of moving around. I have more than enough vacancies here, and you can live here too."

In case he can't fit in so many empty rooms here, it's also a waste of resources.

"Haha, definitely not, we treat you as a brother, that's why we came to you as soon as we came to the capital.

Shen Zijing shook his head, and after thanking his friend for his kindness, he said, "It's not that we don't want to live with you. It's fine if we stay with you for a day or two. If we stay for a long time, it will inevitably cause you trouble." So this Sooner or later, you have to buy a yard, and you can't always live in someone else's house.

Besides, this is the Liuyuan Mansion. Although they and Li Wen are classmates and friends, it is not good for them to live here for a long time. Shen Zijing still understands this truth.

After arriving in the capital, Shen Zijing realized how expensive the houses here are in the capital.

Although the Shen family has a little income, but when Shen Zijing bought a small courtyard here in the capital, Shen Zijing still felt very painful after paying out the money. Xiaoyuan, I can buy three big houses in Qingping Town."

"Pfft...you said it's Qingping Town, can it be compared with here in Beijing?" Li Wen laughed when he heard this, but he naturally knew how expensive the houses here are in Beijing, thinking about when he first arrived in Beijing , because he came so late, he couldn't even find a place to live outside. Fortunately, Zhishu Lu took him in.

But remembering that he also rejected Lu Zhishu's kindness at the beginning, bought a small courtyard nearby, and moved to his own place, so now he can understand what Shen Zijing and Su Yuan did.

Li Wen talked about his first arrival in the capital, and said, "It's not bad for you to buy a house now, and you won't catch up with the scientific examination. When the number of candidates in the capital is the most, by then everywhere will be full of people. There are almost no houses. It’s good for you to buy a house now, and make preparations in advance, or wait until the time to buy a house, it will be more difficult to buy a house, and the price will be much more expensive

There are a lot of people here in the capital, so the house is already expensive, and the price of a house in a good location will be even more expensive.

Now is not the time to catch up with the science exams, and there are not many students going to Beijing to catch up with the exams. Fortunately, it is easy to buy a house at this time, and the price can be negotiated.I bought a house here in the capital, and if I can’t live there anymore, I won’t lose money if I sell it, so it’s good to buy a house here if you need some money.

Shen Zijing didn't know that Li Wen had encountered such a thing when he came to the capital, so he laughed out loud.

However, what Li Wen said was also right, Shen Zijing nodded, and said, "Well, that's the reason, and A Yuan and I think the same way." The one-year scientific examination is less than two years away, and they must be prepared.

Su Yuan listened to what Shen Zijing meant, and Shen Zijing lived outside, so he naturally followed suit.

"Okay, you can live there. The environment there is good. It's not too far to go to the newspaper office. When you make arrangements, go to the newspaper office. I've already greeted the people there. You can go there at any time. When you are new to the capital, if you need any help, just ask me. I have been in the capital for a little longer than you, and I know more things than you.” Although he was reluctant to move away with his friends, Li Asking still respects the meaning of friends, and it doesn't stop them from moving out.

This time, Shen Zijing said that he wanted to buy a small courtyard here in the capital, and it was Li Wen who asked shopkeeper Zhang to help, so he found a suitable place so quickly.

Every day, someone delivered the daily newspaper at his house, so after Shen Zijing arrived in the capital, he would read the newspaper every day.After knowing that he had set up a newspaper office and this newspaper was published by their newspaper office, Shen Zijing proposed the idea of ​​going to the newspaper office.

Li Wen thought that the newspaper office was filled with a group of enthusiastic scholars, and there were a few well-written articles. Many of these people were preparing for the next year's scientific examination, so he thought that Shen Zijing and Su Yuan could also get along with each other in the past. The members in it communicate more.Besides, Cao Hanlin would go to the newspaper office from time to time, pointing out that the articles of these scholars had Cao Hanlin's free signboard, so he didn't have to worry that those scholars would give up such a good job and leave.

A newspaper office is a place where news sources are collected, and then sorted out to publish the news. There, you can grasp the latest daily news in the capital, care about the people's livelihood of the country, and have first-hand information, which is also very beneficial for writing articles.

So as soon as Shen Zijing said he wanted to go to the newspaper office, Li Wen agreed.

He only needs to say hello to shopkeeper Zhang and ask shopkeeper Zhang to arrange it, which is not difficult.It's just that he didn't state his relationship with Shen Zijing and Su Yuan.

In the evening, the three of them sat together for a meal, talked about some past events, and also talked about some things here in the capital.Li Wen thought that the newspaper office is a place where gossip news gathers, and said with a smile, "After you go to the newspaper office for a month, you don't need me to tell you, you know all the big and small things in this capital like the palm of your hand.

"Haha... I won't say thank you."

Shen Zijing picked up the cup in front of him and said, "Come, let's have a drink for our friendship."

"For friendship, let's have a drink." Li Wen also picked up the glass, and the three of them clinked glasses, and drank the wine in the glass with their heads up.

Sitting with good friends, drinking a glass of wine and chatting, is a very relaxing and pleasant thing.

"In recent years, we have been one to the east and one to the west. Only you and A Yuan have been together. The magistrate went to Huaishui to be the magistrate, and we haven't been here for several years." Li Wen said Regarding Lu Zhishu's going to Huaishui Sanjiang County to be the county magistrate, after Lu Zhishu's visit, he will not come back to the capital for three to five years.

Although he didn't understand that his friend insisted on going somewhere at the beginning.But if he had the chance, he would actually want to go somewhere. Here in the capital, it's not that it's not good, but there are too many things to worry about.

Holding the wine glass in one hand, Su Yuan lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Shen Zijing put one hand on Su Yuan's shoulder and said, "That's right, A Yuan and I have never been separated since we were born."

Li Wen glanced at Su Yuan with a smile, just as Su Yuan raised his head, met Li Wen with a playful look, Su Yuan calmly looked away.For some things, both of them are tacit, only someone from the authority has not reacted yet, which is also slow enough.

Su Yuan just smiled and said nothing.

Li Wen said, "We are all here in the capital now, and we can meet whenever we want. You move out to live, and we can come out to sit and have a drink when we are free in the future. If you want to find me, send someone to me at any time." Let me say here, our brothers for so many years are not outsiders."

"It's a brother, it's a good brother for a lifetime!"

"Okay, it's a brother, it's a brother for life. I like your words." Shen Zijing had already drunk at this moment, and he was so proud that he was about to toast his friend with a glass of wine.

This night, both Li Wen and Shen Zijing drank a lot of wine, and the latter two were drunk, only Su Yuan was sober. He wanted to stop drinking so much, but he couldn't do it at all. Later he had to give up

At the end, Su Yuan helped Shen Zijing go back to the room to rest, and Li Tong helped their master back into the room.

"You go out." Zhao Xiangyi came over, saw the young man lying on the bed reeking of alcohol, took the handkerchief from the boy's hand, and wiped the boy's face himself.

Li Tong responded and went out.

"Hey, you're here." The drunk boy opened his eyes and smiled foolishly when he saw the man wiping his face in front of him.Looking at the boy with crooked eyes and a little silly smile, Zhao Xiangyi's anger disappeared immediately, he nodded the boy's nose, and said, "You little drunk cat, it's not easy to drink so much in the future." drunk

The little drunk cat grabbed the dangling hand in front of him, grabbed it, and opened his mouth to bite.

Zhao Xiangyi looked at the boy's dark eyes, originally he wanted to let the boy go tonight, but he couldn't bear it anymore when he was teased by him, and in the end he ate him up.

When he got up the next day, Li Wen got up with his back, knowing that the person who committed the crime had already left, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

On this day, Shen Zijing and Su Yuan simply packed up their things, got into the carriage, and lived in a small courtyard outside.When Li Wen came back from get off work in the household department, he knew that his friend had moved away. Although he felt a little bit sad, he still respected his friend's decision.

Anyway, they are all here in the capital now, wanting to meet is just a matter of a word, and they can meet at any time.

As for the people sent by the clan, Li Wen sent Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu to work beside Bai Yu, and the rest were assigned to other appropriate positions to study.After half a month, their workshop in the outskirts of Beijing was completed. Li Jinwan brought a few girls to work in the workshop. Now that there are enough people, it is time to expand the business of Zhuangmeng Pavilion.

All business matters were left to Bai Yu and his sister, Li Wen only occasionally asked a few words, and put more thoughts on the household department.
