Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 448 Who lives with whom?

"This yard has the quietest environment, and it was built a few years ago. The house is wider than others, and the beds, tables and chairs inside are all new. The most rare thing is that the yard is not big, and there are few people living in it. Much less noisy." Cao Li led them into a small courtyard.

Du Jinning took a look, and sure enough, this courtyard is located under a hill, the mountain is covered with trees, and the scenery is good, and there is a distance between this courtyard and another courtyard, and the environment is relatively quiet.Walking in, there seems to be a strange rock lying in the middle of the courtyard, like a natural rockery, with some flowers and shrubs planted around the rock.Because the strange rock occupies a large area, and they want to build houses here, the houses in this courtyard are all built between the strange rock and the mountain. There are three houses in the east, four houses in the west, and three houses in the south. There are still some houses interspersed between the houses between the east, west, north and south, and the yard surrounded by these houses is not as square as Xu Chengyuan's yard, and it looks patchwork.Because there are strange rocks and trees in the middle, there is no connection between them, and the privacy is excellent.Unlike Xu Chengyuan's side, the east room's talk can be heard by the west room if it is a little louder.

Du Jinning fell in love with this place immediately.

"Is there still room for this kind of place?" She turned her head and asked Cao Lidao.

"Hey." Cao Li's smile was a bit dark, "We won't let ordinary students in the houses here."

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan looked at each other, knowing what he meant.

It seems that wherever you go, your status and status are clearly graded.If it wasn't for the blessing of Qi Muyuan and Liang Xiankuan, Du Jinning wouldn't be able to live in such a courtyard.

"Then how many people live in this yard now?" Liang Xiankuan asked.

"There are a total of fifteen houses here, and if you don't include the three husbands, there are nine people in total." Cao Li said.

"What are there?" Du Jinning asked, and then stuffed another five coins in the past.

Cao Lixi smiled, bowed his hands to Du Jinning, and introduced the nine people in detail from their names to family backgrounds, personalities, and hobbies.

Originally, Xu Chengyuan was a little unconcerned with Du Jinning's behavior of embezzling money, thinking that Du Jinning's actions would easily encourage Cao Li's unhealthy tendencies.But now listening to Cao Li shaking off the details of these people so cleanly, Du Jinning and the others have saved a lot of trouble getting along with each other. He feels that the money was well spent, and the book business spirit he had insisted on before began to collapse, and he deeply felt The way is sometimes a science.

Of course, he didn't realize it at this time.Later, he was admitted as a Jinshi and became a county magistrate. When dealing with the trivial government affairs of the common people and getting along with the subordinates who were like hobs, he was deeply grateful for Du Jinning's influence on him in this regard, which made him A lot of detours have been avoided, and the official career has been smoother.This is a later story.

When Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan heard that there were Qi Siyu and Du Zheyan among the nine people, they looked at each other and felt that the life of the students in this school might not be peaceful.

After Cao Li introduced the students inside, he shook the key and said, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

Leading the crowd in, he said again: "Actually, this courtyard has a shortcoming. Have you seen Mr. Xu's courtyard? Once you enter the door, there is a corridor, and all the rooms can be walked along the corridor. It’s not fair, and the houses are also divided into east and west, so there is no way to build a corridor. When it rains, if you want to escape the door, you need an umbrella.”

"It doesn't matter." Du Jinning said, "We don't like door-to-door either."

Cao Li paused when he heard this, and explained: "I have to explain to the three gentlemen that although there are six rooms left in this courtyard, only two of them are next to each other, and the rest of the rooms are all adjacent to each other. It’s rather scattered. And the two rooms next to each other aren’t exactly east, west, or north.”

He pointed to the room in front: "There is an empty room in front, which faces due east. If the three gentlemen are more concerned about the orientation, the rooms they live in are more scattered."

This made everyone frowned again.

We came together and are good friends, so we naturally hope to live together so that we can take care of each other.

Liang Xiankuan glanced at Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan, and said with a smile, "You two live next to each other. I live in a nearby room."

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan were on good terms from the very beginning, usually they were foursome with Guan Jiaze and Zhang Hongwen in Boyue Academy, but he was not included.Although he and Du Jinning appreciate each other and can be regarded as close friends, compared to Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning, they are still a little worse.As for him and Qi Muyuan, they didn't have much contact with each other, and it was all because of Du Jinning that they played together.

Rather than making it inconvenient for the two of them to speak, it is better to bring it up on their own initiative.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Muyuan immediately nodded in response: "Okay." He was worried that Du Jinning would live alone.

Liang Xiankuan pursed his lips.

Although I said this on my own initiative, and even if I didn't mention it, these two people would live next to each other.But Qi Muyuan's eagerness to respond without any excuses still made Liang Xiankuan a little upset.

Du Jinning saw Liang Xiankuan's expression in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Why don't you two live together, and I will live separately." In order to show that she is not being polite and does not wait for the two of them to talk, she immediately said, "What I said is true. Yes. I have bad living habits, I don’t like to clean up the house, I throw stinky socks around, and I live next door to Qi Muyuan, I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it.”

After finishing speaking, she waved her hand: "It's such a happy decision."

It's not that she is modest, but she really doesn't want to live next door to acquaintances.She is in a special situation, it is better to keep a little distance from others.

She was happy, but the other two were not.

They would be more than happy to let one of them be Du Jinning's neighbor.Let the two of them live by themselves...

Qi Muyuan and Liang Xiankuan looked at each other, and then looked away at the same time, both of them were unhappy.

Although we are all classmates, and have good conduct and personality, we get along very well together during this period of time, and there is no conflict.But for some reason, let the two of them be friends without Du Jinning as a medium... It always feels a little bit wrong.

Anyway, let them live next to each other and leave Du Jinning alone to the other side, that is absolutely impossible.

"This won't work." As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned, looked at each other, and swallowed the rest of the words, intending to let the other party speak first.

But both of them had the same idea, and neither of them opened their mouths in the end, and the scene fell into a strange silence for a while.

"Ha, why is the voice so familiar to me? It's really you." A voice suddenly came from not far away, and then a person jumped in front of everyone, grinning happily.
