Chapter 97

After Zhao Caifeng cleaned up the house, she looked at the sky and it was almost [-] o'clock.There is another advantage in ancient times, that is, the ability to rely on nature has been strengthened. Zhao Caifeng can almost know the angle of the sun and the horizon at each hour according to the seasonal changes.

The clothes on her body were stained with water, Zhao Caifeng wiped them dry with a clean rag, closed the doors of the three houses tightly, and locked the locks outside.He raised his head and glanced at the old Spring Festival couplets on the door panel, and stretched out his hand to peel them off.

Song Mingxuan's handwriting is not bad, when the time comes, let him write a pair of posters, it will definitely be better than this.Zhao Caifeng thought of this for some reason, and suddenly felt a little blushing.

Finally got the house done, Zhao Caifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried back to Babaolou to have a round with Li Quan.Li Quan just came back at this time, saw Zhao Caifeng coming in from the backyard, he just stood up and said: "I also said that you might get lost, and I was discussing with Xiao Er whether I should go to you."

Zhao Caifeng shook the key in her hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, look quickly, the house is in possession."

Seeing him, the waiter in the store couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he patted Zhao Caifeng on the shoulder and said, "You boy, aren't you bad? Which house is it?"

"It's in the begging street. The landlord's name is Aunt Wu. She looks like a very kind aunt."

"It turned out to be her. Then you are really lucky. She is a great kind person who is praised by everyone on the begging street. There are a dozen or so houses on the begging street whose entire yards belong to her family. How did you meet her?" Even Li Quan knew this person, so Mrs. Wu should be quite reliable.

"I went to see the house today, and I happened to meet her looking for someone to collect the rent, but who would have thought that the tenant would come and just vacate this small courtyard, so I rented it out." Hearing what Li Quan said, Zhao Caifeng said, I also feel that I seem to be lucky.

"Little brother, how much money did you rent?"

"Three main rooms and two cottages at the back, two taels of silver a month, I agreed to rent for only two months."

The waiter frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Sure enough, I didn't cheat you, the price is still fair, but I said, what kind of house do you rent by yourself, and you sleep with the big guy to save money?"

Zhao Caifeng just lowered her head, smiled slightly, and didn't intend to hide it from others, she just said: "I don't live in this house, my elder brother is going to Beijing to take the exam, so I asked me to show him, I didn't think It’s not just luck that it can be done!”

"Then you are really lucky. There are still two months left in Liqiuwei now, and the inns in the city have long been empty. The decent small courtyards on Guangji Road are also full of people. Even The farmhouses outside Yushan Academy have vacated one of their houses for candidates to live in." The waiter in the shop only talked eloquently.

"Yushan Academy? What's that place?" Although Zhao Caifeng listened casually, she still accurately grasped the point of the conversation.

"You don't know Yushan Academy? There is no examinee in the world who doesn't know Yushan Academy. There is a saying that Nanqixia and Beiyushan are both prestigious academies, even better than the Imperial College. The champions, second places, and top picks in these years are basically from these two academies, and there is no such thing as the Imperial College."

When Zhao Caifeng heard it, she immediately became interested. She felt that it should be a super awesome private school, a bit like New Oriental, so she asked anxiously, "How can I go to school in that place?"

"I'm not sure about this. I usually hear that the guests who eat here sometimes chat. It's such a good place, and most people can't get in. I heard that many young masters from the big officials' families are there, maybe there Do not accept the poor."

Zhao Caifeng glanced at him, and the waiter in the store shrank his neck immediately. Although what he said was not pleasant, it was really true. What do you do these days without money? To get a letter of recommendation on the table, money is also indispensable.

Zhao Caifeng sighed, and Li Quan said, "Xiao Wu, don't worry, Ergou is so smart, even if he doesn't go to this academy, he can still rely on someone to send you back."

Zhao Caifeng raised her head, frowned again and said, "Uncle Li, can we not call Ergou in the future? If he is in the exam for Juren, call Ergou and others will laugh at him."

Li Quan laughed twice, scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't you just get used to it..."

Zhao Caifeng and Li Quan left the city before dark, and returned to Huang's house in Shili Temple. They stayed here for one night, and they could go home early tomorrow morning.

But Zhao Caifeng didn't sleep well that night, and kept thinking about the Yushan Academy.It would be fine if Zhao Caifeng hadn't gone through the college entrance examination, but she happened to have gone through the fierce modern competition for the college entrance examination.

Which family's children don't go out to find tutoring classes?Which family's children didn't come from the Mathematics Olympiad and Diplomacy?Like Song Mingxuan, who didn't even go to a decent school and didn't have a systematic education, how could he compete with those top candidates?
