Chapter 152: The trial case!

Originally, Shen Yi lived in Prince Jin's Mansion to hide himself. After all, he is already well-known in Jiankang. If he lived outside, many people would inevitably visit him or even make friends with him.

It's okay if it's a stranger, and it's easy to refuse. If it's a student of Ganquan Academy, or someone brought by a classmate of Ganquan Academy, it's not so easy to deal with.

That's why Shen Yi lives and studies in Prince Jin's Mansion, wanting to be quiet and undisturbed.

But now living in Prince Jin's Mansion is no longer quiet, and will be disturbed by the little princess Li Shu and others, so there is no need to live in Prince Jin's Mansion anymore.

After all, Shen Yi is not short of money now. Although it is not enough to buy a house in Jiankang City, it is more than enough to rent a house.

In the afternoon of that day, Shen Yi left Prince Jin's Mansion, went to a dentist in Jiankang City, and found a dentist to help him rent a house.

However, it was difficult to find a suitable house for a day or two, and Shen Yi was not in a hurry. After he had mentioned his needs, he found a random inn to live in.

He has an examination card issued by Jiangdu Mansion on his body, which is much more useful than government photo stickers and road guides, and he can stay in any hotel in Jiankang City.

In fact, it's not impossible to deal with Xu Fu and the others for a few days, but the house that Xu Fu rented is too small, and there are only two beds. The two little ones are about to huddle together to sleep.

The dental clinic in Jiankang City is relatively more professional than the dental clinic in Jiangdu Prefecture. Early the next morning, the dental clinic staff began to show Shen Yi various houses.

At this time, the business in Jiankang City had prospered to a certain extent, and the leasing industry was relatively mature. After spending a day, Shen Yi finally rented a small yard in the center of Jiankang City.

It is worth mentioning that the geographic city center of Jiankang City is not the economic center of Jiankang City, because the imperial city is near Zhongshan in the north, so Jiankang North City is the real "city center".

But even if it is not rented in the center of the city, the price of such a small courtyard is not low. At first, the asking price was five taels of silver a month, but under Shen Yi's bargaining, the price was finally reduced to 50 taels of silver a year.

Because the leasing industry is mature, the landlord has to show the contract to Shen Yi, and then both parties will go to Jiankang Mansion to sign the contract, which will be "notarized" by the person in charge of this errand in Jiankang Mansion, and then the contract will be considered valid.

The specific process is actually not much different from renting a house in later generations.

After working all day, in the evening, Shen Yi completed all the procedures and successfully got the key to the yard.

That night, Xu Fu and Ding Man didn't go out to do business anymore, but helped Shen Yi clean up the newly rented yard.

The three of them worked all night before tidying up the yard. It was already approaching April, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The three of them sat in the yard, panting heavily.

After cleaning up with great difficulty, Shen Yi fetched a large bucket of well water from the yard. The three of them each took a ladle and gulped down the cold water.

After the three of them recovered, Shen Yi sat slumped on the stone steps in the yard, looked at the two little guys, and panting, said: "Here...five or six houses, you two can live in if you want. .”

Xu Fu lowered his head slightly, shook his head and said, "My lord, it's good for us to live in that small courtyard, besides, the lease over there has not yet expired, and we make a lot of noise during the day when preparing dishes, and my lord wants to study quietly, so we won't bother you gone."

Shen Yi nodded, and said with a smile: "In two years, we will buy him a big house in Jiankang, and we can all live in it."

Xu Fu also showed a smile on his face: "Don't be afraid of your son's jokes, I went to ask Jiankang's house price the other day, it was already ridiculously high, the house I rented with the third child, if sold, it would cost more than 1000 taels of silver! "

Speaking of this, Xu Fu looked left and right at the house that Shen Yi rented, and said with emotion: "If this house is where the young master lives, I am afraid it will cost seven to eight thousand taels."

Shen Qilang chuckled: "You guys, your vision is too shallow. Those mansions on the root of the imperial city cost hundreds of thousands, even millions of taels of silver..."

After the two chatted for a while, Shen Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Xu Fu: "Seeing that the weather is about to heat up, Xiao Xu, you have nothing to do, you can go to those ice houses in the suburbs of Beijing for a run, If the price is right, we can buy a cellar or a half cellar."

Xu Fu scratched his head and said, "My lord, we are not hot, we don't need ice to relieve the heat..."

In this era, there are ice households that specialize in making ice and selling ice. These ice households dig ice in winter, and then dig a cellar to hide the ice households. Gentlemen cool off.

Shen Yi frowned slightly, and said: "It's not for you to cool off. After you buy some ice, you can try to sell iced food by the Qinhuai River. I'll teach you how to do it then."

In fact, in addition to buying ice, you can also use saltpeter to make ice, but the efficiency of the latter is too low to be used on a large scale, so it is better to buy ice.

Xu Fu already trusted Shen Yi very much at this time, he nodded and agreed without much hesitation when he heard the words.

After Shen Yi finished his rest, he took the two little guys out for supper, and then the three of them dispersed separately.

In the next few days, Shen Yi spent most of his time decorating his new home, or buying some daily necessities such as pots and pans. When he had prepared everything in the yard and was able to officially move in, the time had come. It was the end of March in the sixth year of Hongde.

In other words, the Jiankang hospital examination is about to happen.

On March 28th, the Jiankang Xuezheng Yamen posted a notice that this year's Jiankang Academy Examination will be officially released three days later, that is, on the first day of April.

As one of the candidates for this year's college examination, Shen Yi, who was fiddling with the stove at home, came to the entrance of the Xuezheng Yamen early in the morning after hearing about this incident, and watched the notice posted by the Xuezheng Yamen.

At this moment, Shen Yi felt a little nervous.

Although he is [-]% to [-]% sure that he will be a scholar, after all, there is still a [-]% to [-]% chance of not being selected.

This year is the year of the provincial examination. If he fails the hospital examination this year, it means that he will not be able to take the provincial examination until at least three years later. It also means that his entry into the officialdom will be postponed for at least three years.

Three years is already a term for an official!

One term of office can already determine the promotion and transfer of officials, and determine the future of an official in the officialdom!
With some apprehension in his mind, Shen Yi first went to Liquan Tower to read for a long time, and then returned to his new nest. It took two days to turn over a small vegetable garden in the corner of the yard, and plant it. A little flowers and plants.

In this era, there is no need to grow vegetables by yourself. The vegetables sold on the street every day are all pollution-free vegetables. For his own physical and mental comfort, Shen Yi naturally planted flowers in the yard.

After Shen Yi finished the work in the yard, the time quietly came to April.

That is to say, it is the day when the court examination releases the list of cases.

On this day, Shen Qilang woke up early, put on the new clothes he hadn't put on when he met the princess, and strode towards the Xuezheng Yamen.

His first step forward in this world is finally about to be taken.

　In the last chapter, many people said that there was no progress in water. I just wanted to write more detailed and fuller characters. I will learn lessons later, and try not to write if I can...
