Chapter 919 Rent a Yard

Cars are not allowed to stay in the city gate for too long, so while leading them the way, Liu Gui said: "Young master, the people who rented our house can't move for a while, they have a contract in hand, and they have lived with us for three days. It's been four years, and if it's not good, people will be driven away, so the younger one rented a big house next to the yard rented by the young master of the hall, which is closer to the Imperial College, that is..."

Seeing that he stopped talking, Bai Shan asked, "What is it?"

"It's just more expensive."

Not only is it more expensive, it is simply too expensive.

Bai Zhi was admitted to the four schools this year with his own efforts. He is not happy to live in the school. Like his younger brother Bai Erlang, he has never been wronged in daily life, so naturally he is not happy to live in the school. He has to do it by himself every day. Wash your face with water, organize your clothes and so on.

So he rented a small yard outside and shared it with one of his classmates, which was just big enough to accommodate them and the servants they brought.

Most of the houses around Guozijian are rented to students, and Guozijian is in the inner city, so the houses here are in short supply and naturally very expensive.

Not only is it expensive, but it’s also small. It’s said that they rented a big house, but in fact it’s just a small house with two people. They can barely accommodate so many people. Mrs. Liu and the others must find another place if they want to go to Beijing, but they still have It took a while to go to Beijing, so I had time.

Several cars stopped in the alley one after another. Bai Dalang specially asked for leave today and waited at home. Seeing his younger brother jumping out of the car first, he couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Finally It's waiting for you."

Bai Erlang turned his head and saw his brother, and threw himself on him happily, and they hugged each other, "Brother, is the capital fun?"

Bai Dalang smiled, "It's fun."

After speaking, he saw a car bench behind him put down, Liu Liulang opened the curtain to help Mr. Zhuang get out of the car, and he quickly went up to help Mr. Zhuang.

After Mr. Zhuang got off the ground and stood firm, he took a step back and saluted respectfully, "Hello, sir!"

Mr. Zhuang nodded in relief, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I heard from your father a long time ago that you have been admitted to four schools?"

Bai Dalang couldn't help grinning, and nodded fiercely, "It's thanks to Mr. Lai's teaching."

Mr. Zhuang patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's your hard work."

Bai Shan and Man Bao also got out of the car, everyone greeted each other, and asked Daji and the others to move things in.

Bai Dalang was a few years older than them, and he looked like a big brother. He led them into his yard, "You guys rest here first, and go there after they get things in order."

He knew that Mr. Zhuang was getting old and not in good spirits, so he first took Mr. Zhuang to his room to rest, and ordered him to serve hot drinks and some snacks, and then went to talk to Bai Shan and the three of them.

"Father's letter is vague. It only said that you can go to the Imperial College to study because of the emperor's favor, but why can you receive the emperor's favor?"

After taking a sip of hot tea, Bai Shan said: "Because my father is a hero who devoted himself to the country, the court gave my family two places to enroll."

Bai Dalang opened his mouth wide, his days at home were short, he really didn't know about it.

Then he looked at Bai Erlang with envy in his eyes, "Erlang, your luck is really good."

Bai Erlang nodded reservedly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's so-so."

Bai Dalang felt that he was especially begging for beating at this time, but he quickly remembered the business, "Then you have to go to the Imperial College to report. In the past few days, students who have received favors have arrived one after another. I heard from the four schools that this time There will be about forty students entering the Imperial Academy, because they are favored by the emperor, so their knowledge is uneven, this time the Imperial Academy will issue papers, and the colleges they go to will be determined based on their grades."

He looked at Bai Erlang, "I'm not worried about good cousin, it's not bad to enroll in four subjects among these more than forty people, and you, don't end up in mathematics."

Bai Shandao: "Also good at arithmetic, you can enter the household department in the future."

But Man Bao looked at Bai Erlang, shook his head and said, "He can't get into mathematics, and calligraphy is also difficult. If he can't get into four schools, he should go to law school."

Bai Erlang was not convinced, "It is difficult for me to get into the Imperial College among a thousand people. Could it be that out of forty people can't get into four schools?"

"It depends on how knowledgeable other people are," Bai Shan said, "There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. What if these forty or so people are all very good?"

Bai Dalang also nodded, "After all, after being a hero, his family background should not be too bad. He studied martial arts since he was a child, so he shouldn't be too far behind."

Bai Shan asked, "Maybe the big hall brother can find out who are the people who are enrolled this time?"

"I have to go back to school and ask my classmates." He said shyly, "I just came to Beijing not long ago, so I don't know much about it."

Bai Shan expressed his understanding.

"However, most of the students enrolled this time are the descendants of the generals in the army, and they are very martial arts. You should be careful when you are classmates with them, and don't fight, you know?"

The three couldn't help but nodded together, Bai Shan was a little worried, "Do they all know kung fu?"

Wouldn't they be at a disadvantage if they accidentally fight?

"The children of the military commander's family should know a little bit, right?"

Bai Shan was very worried.

Daji felt that their thinking was very bad, and couldn't help but said: "Master, we went to the Imperial College to study, not to fight."

Man Bao: "What if we accidentally start a fight?"

Bai Dalang coughed lightly and said, "Fighting is forbidden in school. If you fight in school, you will be expelled if it is serious."

Man Bao said to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang: "If you are being bullied, bear with it. We took such a big risk to come to the capital to study and be an examiner. You can't be expelled from school."

Bai Dalang asked, "What risk did you take?"

The three of them coughed and didn't speak.

Bai Dalang didn't care too much, he just thought they felt that the journey was far away and they suffered a lot.

What risks can a child of this age have besides these risks? ,

But he still affirmed Man Bao's words, "Man Bao is right, this place is no better than our home, keep your temper outside, and don't fight with others."

Man Bao on the side nodded repeatedly.

Bai Dalang hesitated for a moment, but still said sincerely to her: "Man Bao, you are the same."

Man Bao's head froze half way through, and she said: "I never quarrel with others, and I never fight with others."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang "tssed" in unison, and looked at her with contempt.

Bai Dalang scolded them, "Look, you can easily cause conflicts like this. This is very wrong and needs to be changed."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang smiled at Man Bao just because of you, and apologized to her under Bai Dalang's pressure.

The four of them were making a fuss here, all the things outside had been moved in, and they wanted to go over and tidy up their room by themselves.

Zhou Lijun wanted to live in the same room with Man Bao, and there was still a screen between the two of them. Man Bao took out his books and arranged them. Zhou Lijun came to help, "Sister, the rent is half of our house's rent, right?"

Man Bao nodded, "I've already made an agreement with Bai Shanbai Er, we will pay for this part of the money ourselves, you just need to live with peace of mind."

Zhou Lijun breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle Fifth and Uncle Six just said that the rent here is really expensive, I don't know how much the shop will cost."
