Chapter 477 Arriving in the capital [3]

"Thank you, brother Zi Chuan." Zhang Zhiwen hurriedly bowed to Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu replied, "Actually, I was taken care of by Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang along the way, which saved me from fatigue and allowed me to sit in a comfortable and spacious carriage. It takes ten days and half a month to reach the capital."

Zhang Zhiwen said: "In the evening, I prepared a cleansing banquet for my parents. If Brother Zi Chuan doesn't mind, then come together. It will be more lively if there are more people."

Zhang Tiezhu and Li Hongxiang also continued to invite warmly, Lin Xiu could only say: "Then I will be disrespectful."

Zhang Zhiwen asked Lin Xiu again if he had a place to live here, Lin Xiu shook his head: "Although I am going to Beijing for the second time, I don't have a place to live. I am going to find an inn to stay."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Zhiwen say: "My family happens to have a house in the middle of the capital, and there are many side rooms in the house. If Brother Zichuan doesn't dislike it, you might as well stay in my house for a while. The test is coming soon, and all the inns in the middle of the capital have already moved in. Man, I'm afraid that if I go looking for a place to live now, I won't be able to find it in a while."

Lin Xiu politely refused, "Brother Zhiwen's kindness, I appreciate it. After all, men and women are different. If I live in your house, I will inevitably cause suspicion, which will affect the reputation of Jinse and Yuxiu. Brother Zhiwen, don’t worry, I’ve already made an agreement with the shopkeeper of an inn to reserve a superior wing room for me.”

With Lin Xiu's current status, there are naturally some nobles and nobles in Beijing who want to win him over, and want to give him gifts, money, and housing in order to seek asylum.

Or they want to marry their daughter to Lin Xiu. After all, he is very hopeful to be a Jinshi in this test, and he will be able to get an official position personally conferred by the Holy Spirit.

For these, Lin Xiu had already rejected them one by one, and he chose to live in the inn.

Zhang Zhiwen's family still has two girls who have not left the court, so it is impossible for Lin Xiu to live there.

So Zhang Zhiwen didn't say anything more.

After chatting for a while, the two separated. Zhang Zhiwen and his party returned to their residence in Beijing, while Lin Xiu took his book boy to find the inn.

When Zhang Zhiwen was studying in Beijing Middle School before, in order to make Zhang Zhiwen study at ease and live conveniently, he bought a house in Beijing Middle School earlier. The courtyard with four entrances has independent front and rear gardens. Although the decoration is not so magnificent, it has a kind of elegant and simple beauty of Jiangnan Water Town.

The population in the courtyard is not large, because only Zhang Zhiwen lives there, so apart from Ye Shun who is with him, there are only two women who cook and wash, and two servants who clean.

Now that Zhang Tiezhu and his group are living in, the population suddenly increased.

After traveling for nearly a month, everyone was very tired. Seeing that it was still early, they went back to their rooms to freshen up and rest.

In the evening, a group of people went to the largest restaurant in Beijing for dinner. At this time, Lin Xiu also came. When we parted before, we agreed on the time and place, so when it was o'clock, Lin Xiu came on time. There was no delay at all.

When Zhang Zhiwen saw that both Lin Xiu and his book boy were carrying burdens, he couldn't help being taken aback, "Brother Zichuan, haven't you found a place to stay yet?"

Lin Xiu's face was slightly embarrassed, and he shook his head, "No."
