Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 577 A Letter
Guan Lehe ignored him, turned to Shi Yun and said, "Master Shi, I'm leaving first, you're busy." As he spoke, he pulled Du Jinning out, returning as he walked, "Six thousand and five hundred taels, the original price Twice as much, it's really a big mistake, haha."

While talking, he had already left the door, walking further and further away.

Mr. Chen blushed with anger when he heard this, and said with a sneer, "I want to buy a house if I don't have any money, so why pretend?" He turned around and waved to his brother-in-law, "Come here and go through the formalities with Mr. Shi."

Brother-in-law Chen's face was pale, and he stood there without moving for a long time.

Shi Yun watched this good show with cold eyes, his face was expressionless throughout the whole process, and he didn't say a word.Guan Lehe bid farewell to him before leaving, but he just nodded slightly, not even smiling.

Seeing that Brother-in-law Chen didn't move at this moment, he immediately darkened his face and said to him: "Participate in the government auction, and those who fail to cash in will be punished as fraud."

The official who cooperated with Shi Yun in the bidding and testified also frowned and looked at Brother-in-law Chen: "Don't tell me that you don't have money, and the house is gone."

"No, no, no, no." Brother-in-law Chen was sweating profusely.

He followed his brother-in-law to bid for the auction, and his brother-in-law told him clearly about the process and consequences, so he naturally knew that there would be no consequences if he took the auction of the house.

This is not an auction held by a merchant. If you buy something and don’t want it, as long as you are powerful enough, the merchant will only suffer from being dumb.This auction was held by the government, with the emperor behind the scenes.If you dare to play with the emperor, the emperor will have to tell you to move the heads of all the old and young.

Seeing his brother-in-law wiping sweat, tears in his eyes, with a pale face going through the transfer procedures with Shi Yun, Mr. Chen, who was dazzled by the conflict of emotions, slowly came back to his senses.

Six thousand five hundred taels, six thousand five hundred taels.The market price is 500 taels. No matter how much political value the house has, is it worth double the price?This is, this is... was cheated by Guan Le?
Guan Lehe, my mother sells batches, and I will never stop talking to you.

No matter how Mr. Chen yelled here, Guan Lehe walked out of the yard with Du Jinning in comfort, and patted his little disciple on the shoulder comfortingly: "It doesn't matter if you can't buy this house, Shi Yun still has several good houses in his hand." , when the time comes, let’s pick another one.”

"Teacher, I want a place with a big yard. I don't need many houses, but I need a lot of open space. It's best to open one or two acres of land." Du Jinning said, "You know, I've been researching for the past two years. Rice seeds, I didn’t expect this research to be left behind after leaving the capital.”

Du Jinning's research on rice seeds would report to Guan Lehe every time he wrote a letter. Guan Lehe naturally knew about it, otherwise he would not have applied for transfer to the Ministry of Industry.

Hearing this, he nodded his head: "I was negligent. It seems that it's a good thing that I didn't buy this house." He said again, "Okay, I'll ask Shi Yun to take a look for you."

Du Jinning hurriedly said: "Master Shi probably doesn't have such a house in his hands. After all, there are relatively few officials with my hobbies. I'll let Yao Shuqi take a look at the middlemen, and cast the net widely, and there will be more opportunities."

"That's fine." Guan Lehe nodded in agreement.

While talking, the two had already walked outside the gate of the household department.When Guan Lehe and Yao Shuqi saw them coming out, they quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Have you bought the house yet?"

"No, I was cut off by Mr. Chen." Du Jinning told what happened just now, and said with a smile, "We didn't suffer, we made them miserable."

Guan Jiaze sighed sadly: "Oh, but this way, you and I won't be able to be neighbors."

When Yao Shuqi heard that the bidding had reached 500 taels of silver, he was full of rejoicing, glad that his young master didn't fight with others indiscriminately just to make the teacher happy, and took the silver as money.

He hastily said: "A friend in the sea is like a neighbor in the world. As long as you have the heart, you can see each other every day wherever you live."

Du Jinning couldn't help laughing at what he said.

She couldn't help but patted Yao Shuqi's arm: "Old Yao, you are quite knowledgeable."

Yao Shuqi knew that the young master was joking, so he said complacently, "That's right, Lao Yao, I have also studied."

Everyone laughed.

When he got near the Ministry of Industry, Du Jinning stopped in his tracks, and said to Guan Lehe, "Teacher, you go to the Yamen first, we're going back." Then he asked, "You went home after you got off the Yamen, right?"

Guan Lehe nodded: "Yes, I will go back after I get off the Yamen."

He thought that the disciple had something to say to him, it was inconvenient now, and he would go to Guan's house after he got off the Yamen.He didn't ask any questions, and told everyone to be careful on the way, and went back to the Yamen.

Du Jinning sent Guan Jiaze back in a carriage first, and then returned to Lu's house. Once she got back, she shut herself up in the study to write and draw. Seeing that it was getting late, she guessed it was time for the officials to go to the office. The folded paper was folded and stuffed into a big envelope, the seal was glued on with paste, and Yao Shuqi was called over.

"Go to Guan's house in person. Be sure to hand this letter to my teacher. If you don't see him, don't take out this letter. Just say it's a gift. Buy a house for me. I am tired of the teacher, so I ask you to send some snacks to honor the teacher and the teacher's wife."

"Yes, young master, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the matter." Yao Shuqi took the letter, put it in his arms, and pressed it with his hands, before leaving.

After leaving the courtyard where Du Jinning lived, he went to the kitchen again, and took some dim sum made by the cook—because Mrs. Chen came to live with Du Jinning and Xu Chengyuan's family, Lu Xiaobei specially invited a chef named Bai An to make dim sum. In the past two days, Master Baian has made all the dim sum he is good at, and everyone can't finish it.

Yao Shuqi didn't care what Guan Lehe liked to eat, he picked some good-looking ones and pretended to go straight to Guan's house.

Because of Du Jinning's question, Guan Lehe rushed home after leaving the office, changed into his regular clothes and waited in the hall.In the end, instead of Du Jinning, Yao Shuqi was waiting.

He was puzzled: "What is that kid doing?"

Yao Shuqi didn't take out the letter right away, but offered the snacks first: "My young master said that Mr. Guan has worried about him. This is a snack made in the kitchen, not something expensive, and it's for Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Guan." Taste it, let's talk about filial piety."

Although he didn't wait for his disciple, Guan Lehe was also quite satisfied to get the loving cake sent by his disciple, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll accept it. Go back and tell him, it's hard for him to remember."

Only then did Yao Shuqi say: "Master still has a very important letter, let me hand it to you, sir."

The smile on Guan Lehe's face froze. Looking at Yao Shuqi, although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any further questions. He stood up and said, "Come on, follow me to the study." After saying that, he got up and led Yao Shuqi to him. study.

Before entering the study, he ordered the boy not to follow in, and told him: "Look outside the door, and warn early when someone comes."

After entering the room and sitting down, he asked, "Where's the letter?"
