Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

March 11th.

Good to travel.

Early in the morning, all families gathered at the entrance of the village at Mao hour.

He rushed to the north of the county seat to meet up with the Shunyi Escort Bureau and others, and set off for Fucheng in a grand manner before Chen.

When I went to Fucheng this time, Zhou Banxia was not the only female family member.

Like Zhou Xiucai's family.

The eldest son Zhou Changping, Zhou Tongsheng and the eldest grandson Li Geer took part in the examination on March 20th and the government examination on April 9th. Xiaobai took his maid with him.

Among the fellow candidates from the Zhaojiacun School, there were also wives who accompanied their husbands to Fucheng with their maids, and there were also widowed mothers who accompanied their sons to Fucheng.

There are all kinds of situations, but the journey along the way is not like the previous trip to Fucheng, where there are all unfamiliar female relatives. It is inconvenient to rest on the way and go to the toilet together.

Zhou Banxia expressed that he was very satisfied, but it would be even better if he could occasionally ride a horse like Gu Wenxuan.

It's a pity that there are many scholars in the same industry and there are many rules.

When we arrived at Fucheng, before entering the city, we all said goodbye at Shunyi Zhuangzi, where the Shunyi Escort Agency is located, and everyone went their separate ways.

Unlike the candidates at the Zhaojiacun School, a small number of them went to stay with relatives with whom they had a deeper relationship to prepare for the exam, while the rest stayed at the Zhao family.

In Qinghe Village, everyone had discussed it, and under the leadership of Zhou Changping, they all moved into the courtyard that Zhou Banxia had rented for Zhang Dazhuang in advance to prepare for the exam.

Zhang Dazhuang was not only efficient in doing things, but also very careful to let his son wait for their arrival at Zhuangzi, Shunyi every day when transportation and communication were inconvenient.

At the same time, shopkeeper Hu had also sent Xiao Liuzi, who was familiar to the couple, to wait for their arrival at Zhuangzi, Shunyi in recent days. In addition, the manager of the Gao family who was traveling with them had repeatedly invited them.

Zhou Changping finally understood why his father, Zhou Xiucai, said that when he arrived in Fucheng, he could just listen to Sanya. With the invitation from the Zhao family, he really didn't have to worry about having a place to live.

Fortunately, he was worried about the gathering of candidates along the way. Not only would the price of the hotel rise, but it would also be difficult to find a room. What if the rented house suddenly changed its mind, which would be terrible.

Even if Zhou Changping didn't say anything, Zhou Banxia wouldn't be able to tell, but he really didn't want to comfort this uncle who was not as agile as Xiaobai.

The group of people from Qinghe Village took a short rest in Zhuangzi, Shunyi, then got on the carriage and entered the city from the east of the city under the leadership of Zhang Dazhong's son Zhang Han.

The yard we rented this time is not small. After all, we have to raise horses and there are a lot of people there. There are three entrances in total, and it is in the alley near Fuxueqian Street where the four treasures of the study are sold.

Even though Zhou Banxia rarely came here, he knew that Zhang Dazhuang had tried his best to find such a good place to relax amidst the chaos as requested in her letter.

In the third courtyard, Zhou Banxia left the front and middle courtyards to Zhou Changping and Xiaobai, while she, Gu Wenxuan, Zhou Shushun and Da Jiang lived in the backyard.

How else could she say that Zhang Dazhuang had tried his best? There was not only a small garden in the backyard, but also a small kitchen, which would be very suitable for her family to live.

After Zhang Dazhuang arrived after hearing the news, Zhou Banxia went to the dental shop that Zhang Dazhuang was familiar with to pick a family of servants, and hired six rough ladies to settle down.

While she was busy buying people and arranging people to purchase daily necessities, Zhou Shun also accompanied a group of candidates who had put down their luggage to report to the government office.

The registration in the government office ceremony room is similar to the registration in the county government office ceremony room in the first month. The identity verification is also done in the government office ceremony room. After the verification is correct, the admission ticket will be issued.

In other words, both groups of people, including Zhou Changping and other children who took the scientific examination on March 20, had received their admission tickets.

Returning to the rented yard, he saw the suddenly extra concierge and the woman who came to clean the yard. This sight made Zhou Shun feel heartbroken. His Sanya was a prodigal child. Not only did the two Zhiming brothers follow him, but Brother Zhang had already hired someone to take care of the yard.

It was not easy to scold him, because if someone heard him, his family's money would have been wasted and all the favors would be lost, so he forced a smile and went to find his uncle.

Do you care about your wife?

Gu Wenxuan tried his best to hold back his laughter, "It's okay, it doesn't cost much. Only the concierge and his family of four bought it, and everyone else was hired.

You have to think about it this way, there are so many people, and we have to take care of our daily life and food. Sanya must be exhausted, so she might as well hire a mother-in-law and leave it to her aunt. "

The aunt he was talking about was the Xiaobai family. Zhou Shun didn't know how to arrange it like this. His Sanya family was indeed relaxed, but they only had so much money to spend when they arrived.

He just couldn't figure out how much money it cost to rent this courtyard. He also knew that it was in this area close to the examination shed. In this season when the price of the inn has quadrupled at least, the rent must be indispensable. For these two months, every month The rent will definitely not be less than ten taels of silver.

So much has been spent here, so it’s okay to buy people. Anyway, I have to buy people to take them back with me this time, but I hired people and bought things, so I spent real money.

He regretted listening to his Sanya's nonsense.

If we go separately, instead of staying at Zhao Laosan's house, Yun Ke Lai, or the child's uncle's house, we can rent a smaller house by ourselves and our family, at least we will save a lot.

But now, everyone is here, and the money has been spent. What else can be done, we can only stay like this for now.

However, when we go back to the province, it’s better to go separately.

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing anymore, and he followed Zhou Shun's example and quietly replied, "When I go to the province to take the college examination, there will be fewer people, so it's better to stay together until the end."

Also.

Among them are his cousin Chang Ping and my uncle's cousin Wen Yu. It would be bad if they were left behind. It seems that his family will have to spend some unjust money.

As for Zhou Xiucai's previous agreement to let them share more or less, not to mention that Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia didn't have this intention, Zhou Shun also knew whether to accept it or not.

When he took part in the county examination while living in a small courtyard in the county seat, he had noticed that food and accommodation were not included, and every family remembered this favor.

I was at home a few days ago. Which family didn't try their best to free up as many people as they could to work hard in Sanya's fields and woods.

Just like this, if you have something good at home, you still find a way to deliver it to your door.

Okay, then let’s listen to Sanya and help as much as possible.

Who knows if one day I will be able to ask for them, it is impossible to tell in this life.

After thinking about it, and no longer feeling sorry for the money spent, Zhou Shun asked his Sanya to just go about her business, and he did his best to do the favor.

There is nothing we can do.

Now that Sanya of his family has arrived in Fucheng, she absolutely cannot leave without going to Gaofu in person, to her aunt's place, and to visit other people's houses.

The cousin (Zhou Changping) and his wife are outsiders after all. The uncle and the eldest son still have to study and prepare for the exam. If he, who is my father, doesn't come forward, who's the favor?

After everyone has settled down, Zhou Shun often goes to the front yard and the middle yard.

See if my fellow candidates or my brothers are missing anything, and try to help.
