The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 204
Regardless of what Li Xiuping thinks, outside he is compiled by the Imperial Academy, but when he returns to this courtyard, he is just Saburo of the Li family.

In this family, it is the old man Li who speaks the most and then the Shi family. As the youngest son, Li Sanlang can be favored.

The premise is that he must listen to his parents.

Therefore, the obedient Li Sanlang could only live in the official residence alone, and went to the Hanlin Academy to sit on the bench and work honestly and conscientiously every day.

You can only go back to eat on the holidays, and you have to report the good news and not the bad news.

Li Xiuping has already faintly felt it. On the surface, the head of the Imperial Academy and even his colleagues like him for being polite to him.

But in this politeness, there is a real alienation, which can be said to isolate him.

Obviously, the No. [-] candidate in the same department has already been exposed to some book editing work, but he, the nominal editor, still doesn't have those opportunities.

Presumably, some powerful people played a role in it?

Fortunately, Li Xiuping was not in a hurry, the Imperial Academy had too many books and he hadn't read enough.

I haven't had time to think about those political affairs. Qingqing also said that he is still young and his body is still in the stage of growth and development.

Just study and absorb well, and there is no need to touch things that are too brain-intensive for the time being.

Actually, Li Xiuping doesn't quite understand what the so-called physical development means and how this stage is defined.

But he knew that Qingqing had been studying medical books, and she must know more about this than him, so it was right to listen to his wife.

That's right, Li Xiuping burst into tears:
Why does the mother insist on setting the wedding date for the beginning of next spring, isn't it good to complete the important life event with the little daughter-in-law now?
But the Li family nestled in the courtyard started their own actions.

Shi Shi is fine, even if she doesn't do it herself, she is in charge of the family's daily eating, drinking, and messing around.

So look at it, it's still quite busy.

After the initial excitement, old man Li felt a little uncomfortable.

Every household in this city lives with their doors closed, and the relationship between neighbors is not deep. It's not like it was very common in the village to go to other people's yards to eat with a bowl.

Even in the county town, old man Li often squatted at the gate of his house chatting with the old men next door.

Now, each of them is locked in their own yard, and in order to maintain the authority of the head of the family, Shi basically will not arrange for him to do trivial chores at home.

Look at it, it's very relaxing.

But this person is just a criminal | cheap, he is used to hard work, but he doesn't want to take a break, how can he break it?
Li Dalang, Li Erlang and the others don't have such troubles, especially the second son's family who came to Beijing.

During this period of time, Li Erlang can be said to have been familiar with the surrounding area, and he already knew where to buy daily necessities, where to buy rice, noodles, grains and oil, and where to buy vegetables.

I also know about the prices of vegetables in the capital and so on. What makes people feel strange is that the vegetables in the capital are more expensive than those in their countryside, but the meat is much cheaper.

Li Erlang couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to appear too ignorant outside, so he chose to wait outside the courtyard gate on a holiday to stop Li Sanlang who came back to mend his body.

Fortunately, during this period of time, Li Xiuping has read many books on people's livelihood, so he really understands the answer.

"Second brother, think about it. In the past, when we were in the village, we would go directly to the vegetable garden to pick our vegetables. If we want to eat meat, we need to go to the market to buy it. Of course, we think that meat is more expensive than vegetables.

In fact, the cost of growing vegetables is not low, but it's because the cost of manpower is not counted, so the big guys don't have such a concept in their minds. "

Li Erlang was confused and didn't quite understand what he heard, but he admired the third brother even more from the bottom of his heart.

The books I read are really different, and I even understand this truth;
It seems that they would rather spend more money than send all their children to the academy is correct, even if they think they can't get in and don't want the examiner.

But if you read more books and gain more knowledge, you will have more ways to make a living in the future.

It's rare that the second brother is waiting for him here, so Li Xiuping is not in a hurry to enter the house but instead asks Li Erlang:
"Second brother, you don't want to see the shop, what's the result?"

Now Li Xiuping has decided to be an official in the capital, and the old man Li brought Li Dalang and the others to Beijing, and the family shop was taken over by Sister Li and the others.

It means that other things have been settled, so Li Dalang and Li Erlang must find a way to find a way out in the capital, and he is unwilling to rely on Sanlang's salary to support his family.

They also don't know how to make a living. For example, in Anshun County, Li Erlang could collect some things in the village and then take them to the county town to buy.

Then there are the medicinal materials taught by the third daughter-in-law, which can make some money.

But after arriving in the capital, Li Dalang, Li Erlang and the others can be said to have black eyes and don't understand anything, besides, they want small business, which is not feasible in terms of purchasing.

Fang Qingqing really wanted to open a grocery store and take out many things stored in her space for consignment.

But considering the source of purchases, after thinking about it for a long time, she felt that the grocery store could only be opened secretly.

On the contrary, things can be taken out occasionally in small quantities to supplement everyone's life.

As soon as the two families discussed, Li Dalang and Li Erlang thought it was better to open the restaurant first, and then consider other issues after cooking.

"My elder brother and I went to see the shops together, mainly in the outer city, or in the squares near the inner city."

This capital city is not only big but also complex in composition and strict in management. The inner city and the outer city of the imperial city make people dizzy.

"Those shops in the outer city cost two to three thousand taels for better ones, and eight hundred or eight hundred taels for almost." Li Erlang wiped his face. After arriving in the capital, he almost didn't know coins.

He used to think that 3000 Wen was too much, but it actually costs [-] taels of silver to buy a shop here.

The Yaman who introduced him said it was not too expensive, and a shop in the inner city cost about 6000 to [-] taels.

Not to mention buying, even renting, he is reluctant.

No, the old Li's family didn't have the money to rent a bigger shop.

Relying on the shop is a big deal, not just gossip between the brothers, it needs a family meeting to discuss it.

Li Dalang and Li Erlang also reported these situations to his parents.

"Why is the most expensive shop you asked in the outer city cost 800 taels, while the cheapest one is only 780 taels? There is such a big difference?"

What Fang Qingqing was curious about was, how could this cheap shop still have all the odds and ends?
"The size is different." Li Erlang explained to his mother in detail: "There is only one small room in the 780 Liang, which was originally for selling fabrics. Anyway, the shopkeeper puts a table to collect money and puts two rows of shelves next to it. Just put fabrics on it. But if we want to eat, we have to set up tables for the guests to eat, which obviously doesn’t work.”

Li Dalang is very fond of it: "But this shop is cheap, the original owner has something to sell quickly and it will be cheap. Before that, the price was 1000 taels. Yaren helped to bargain, so we finally settled on 780 taels."
