Cute little peasant girl: Love me through the family group!

The Lantern Festival has passed, but the snow has not melted all the way to the north, and the travel speed is much slower than usual.

The original half-month itinerary took more than 20 days abruptly, and the group arrived in the capital.

Outside the city gate, there were long queues of carriages and horses waiting to enter the city. Curious Yaya lay on the window of the car and pointed at the tall city wall gate and shouted excitedly:

"Wow~ Mother, look, this city wall is so high, so high, much higher than the city gate in Dongcheng County~"

Liu Shiyu patted Yaya's back, "It's cold outside, be careful with the wind. Retract your head, and the window is closed."

"Oh." Yaya obediently retracted her head and closed the window, but her little butt kept moving and couldn't sit still.

After a while, Yaya saw that A-Niang started to close her eyes, she rolled her eyes, quietly pushed open a crack in the car window, and looked out curiously.

At this time, a luxurious carriage came from behind and passed her house's carriage, and also passed many people queuing in front, and drove straight to the front.

Yaya pushed open the car window angrily, and patted her brother, "Look, brother, someone is jumping in the queue!"

Her family's carriage and many people outside have been waiting for a long time before entering the city. Why did this later carriage jump in the queue? I'm so angry, there must be a bad guy in the car.

Bai Molin also took a look, and with just a glance, he could see that the carriage was made of high-quality wood, the body was spacious and luxuriously decorated, and there were crescent-shaped icons on the body.

Obviously, the people on this carriage were not ordinary people, not powerful people or noble families.

He thinks that the priority of the powerful is not worth making a fuss about. When he traveled in his last life, he used the v... vip channel, and the treatment he enjoyed was no worse than those of the political leaders.

Even China, which advocates equality for all, has VIP channels on various occasions, not to mention a class society like the Daqing Dynasty.

Bai Molin said lightly, "That's the carriage of a powerful family."

Yaya was puzzled, and her huhu little face looked at her brother suspiciously, wondering why the carriages of powerful families could cut the queue.In Baijia Village, if someone jumps in the queue, they will definitely be beaten by other villagers. It's not that the villagers are fair, they just don't want to be taken advantage of by others.

Bai Molin explained helplessly: "For example, in Baijia Village, the villagers will be courteous when they meet the village chief, and they will let the village chief go first at any time. Because the identity of the village chief is higher than that of ordinary villagers. The status of these powerful families is also higher than that of ordinary people. higher."

Now Yaya understands but a little bit doesn't understand.

She felt that in the village, everyone gave courtesy to the village chief because they respected the village chief, not because the village chief wanted to jump in the queue.

After waiting for a while, the family finally entered the city.

After entering the city, Yaya was lying on the car window and exclaimed constantly.

She thought the county town was already very big, but she didn't expect the capital to be bigger, very, very big, so big that it was too big to see. Bad Uncle is still pretty.

The streets are also wider, and there are more shops on the side, selling all kinds of things.

"Auntie~ let's go shopping~"

Yaya likes to go shopping, not only a lot of delicious but also a lot of fun.

Liu Shiyu touched Yaya's little head, and said softly, "Let's find an inn to live in first, and after we settle down, A-Niang will take you to go shopping tomorrow, okay?"

"it is good!"

Yaya is a good and sensible child, you must listen to what A-niang says.

The group found an inn and settled down for a good night's rest.

The next day, Zhao Song, who was already able to stand alone, left the inn early in the morning to contact Yaxing.

This time in Beijing, the group would have to live for at least five months. If Bai Zhiqing passed the jinshi examination, he might not be able to be granted an official position in a while, and he would have to wait for a vacancy in the capital.

In the spring of the third year of the Daqing Dynasty, there was an occasional Enke. There were more than 200 first-, second-, and third-class Jinshi admitted in each session. However, every three years, there were fewer officials in the imperial court, whether they retired from old age, died of illness, or were executed by ransacking their homes. number of people.

It is reasonable to say that the selection of the imperial examination is to select the talents for the government to govern the country.But the officialdom is complicated, and the powerful relationship is woven into a network. The officials of each faction want to strengthen their own forces. You plug one and I will plug another, plus some real scholars, the number of jinshi in each session will remain high.

Even if the official establishment is expanded every session, it is too late to stuff every turnip into the pit.

Waiting vacancies are commonplace.

Therefore, although Juren is also qualified to be an official, it is extremely rare in practice.

This also leads to the fact that unless they are really old, they will come to try every time they have a test, maybe they will become Jinshi, and after becoming a Jinshi, they will always be able to become officials. The difference is only in the ranking. How long the team has been waiting.

When Bai Zhiqing entered Beijing this time, he planned to wait for the vacancy for a long time. Although the village chief claimed that the Bai family’s head, the branch of Suning Bofu, was a powerful person in Beijing or had connections to help, but Bai Zhiqing always believed that relying on people was better than relying on others.

Of course, visiting the master's house is a must, and the face project is indispensable, but the inside has to be earned by himself.

I may have to live in Beijing for a year and a half this time. It is inconvenient to live in an inn for a long time with a family and a family. I have to find a house to live in to be comfortable.

However, Bai Zhiqing did not intend to buy a house, but wanted to rent a house.

Before coming here, he had inquired with the well-connected and well-informed Shopkeeper Lin, that it was not easy to live in the capital city, and even a remote small second-in-law hospital was very expensive, costing more than 3000 taels of silver.

Although the family made some money by selling cotton cloth, and they could afford a small yard, he couldn't spend all the money on buying a house.

The capital is expensive, the money is spent, and the days are over.

Even if the textile workshop has reached a cooperation with shopkeeper Lin, they will make money every month, but they can't quench their thirst.

Moreover, according to Bai Molin, there is not much money in the family nowadays, and this money should be used to expand reproduction. It is only reasonable to use money to generate money, and buying a house is a fixed asset.

Only when the society develops prosperously, real estate has the investment property of maintaining and increasing its value, otherwise it is just a place to live.

It is not difficult to rent a house in the capital. This place was the political, cultural and economic center of the Daqing Dynasty. It was the most prosperous city in the whole Daqing Dynasty, with many people and many houses.

Among the people in the capital, some people have no room and can only rent it, while some people have too many houses to live in, so they rent it out.

People came and went, but the house stood still.

Zhao Song didn't expect that Yaxing had so many yard to choose from, but this is also good. With more choices, he can choose a more suitable yard for the master.

Having stayed by the master's side for a long time, he has taught him by words and deeds all day long, and he has learned a lot now. Although the tooth shop he was looking for claimed to be a native of the capital and was arrogant, he was not afraid.

I have inquired carefully about a yard and a yard, and selected a few more suitable ones, which can be decided when the master goes to see them in person.

It was only a moment ago when Zhao Song returned to the inn after inquiring about the news.
