home in the end

Chapter 88
"Miss, miss, we have arrived at the gate of the city, look quickly!" Xiao Bai exclaimed excitedly, no matter how steady A Tao was, she was also eager to try at this time, her face excitedly wanted to see something through the curtain.

Liang Yimei quietly lifted a corner of the curtain. Although she didn't mind opening the curtain to see openly, it was obvious that others did, especially Chen Liyan and Feng Jianjie who were sitting with her brother.

Xiaobai was excited for a moment, seeing that there was no response, he also guessed the reason, curled his lips, I really don't know why the lady cares so much, didn't he always do his own way no matter what Mr. Xu said before?

He raised his eyes in disappointment, and saw a person in charge of dressing up at the gate of the city looking at them, Xiao Bai looked away, and whispered: "Miss, there is a person in front of us who has been watching us."

Liang Yimei looked out through the gap and saw the man, wearing a half-worn leather jacket, standing between the crowd neither humble nor overbearing, looking like a manager of a rich family, she frowned slightly, they probably didn't know anyone in the capital Well... Liang Yimei's heart skipped a beat, a smile flashed in her eyes, she didn't know if her guess was right.

When Liang Yimei was thinking about it, that person had already stepped forward to stop her brother's carriage. Liang Yimei was a little far away, and could only vaguely hear something like "Quanzhou" and "Shangjia", so Xiaobai went forward cleverly. After a while, he ran back and said: "Miss, that is the manager of the second bedroom and seventh master of the Shang family. He wanted to pick up the young master and the young lady as guests, and said that the guest room had been arranged, but the young master refused. I heard that the young master meant that he wanted to meet Mr. Chen." , Mr. Feng are going to stay at the inn together."

Liang Yimei nodded and said: "It's fine to stay in the inn. After all, the Shang family is a family with many rules. Common people like us may not be comfortable going there." And she still has things to do. If she goes to the Shang family, it will be much troublesome to go out. .

Although Liang Yilin rejected Tang Guanshi, but Tang Guanshi still insisted on leading them to the inn, he said with a smile: "... There are many scholars who come to Beijing to catch the exam, and now the inn is probably full of people. Mr. Liang wants to live away from home. Is the one closer to the Shang Mansion, or the one closer to the Imperial College?"

Being close to the Shang's mansion will make it easier to travel in the future, but being close to the Imperial College is more conducive to reviewing homework.

Liang Yilin smiled and said, "It would be best if there was one closer to the Imperial College."

Tang Guanshi said: "The Zhuangyuan building is the best. It's on the road of the Imperial College. People who go in and out there are like Mr. Liang who came to Beijing to catch the exam."

Seeing that Chen Liyan and Feng Jianjie were not different, Liang Yilin knew that the two must have inquired clearly a long time ago, so he said, "Then Laotang will take care of it." After finishing speaking, he turned around and said to the two who were still playing chess in the car: " Zifang and Zijing want to be together?"

Chen Liyan raised his head and smiled, "That's natural!"

The carriage started again, and when it stopped again, it was already in front of the champion building.

Liang Yilin, Chen Liyan, and Feng Jianjie followed Tang Guanshi in, while Liang Yimei continued to wait in the car.

The shopkeeper raised his head, saw Steward Tang, smiled slightly and said, "So it's Steward Tang?" Then he got up and walked out of the counter.

Manager Tang smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, I brought you a guest today." As he spoke, Wei Wei revealed the three people behind him.

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the three people across from him. The leader was wearing an almost new stone blue Songjiang padded jacket, his eyes were clear and moist, he looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, but there was an air of disgust on his body. With a calm and mature atmosphere, the one behind him is smiling, but the shopkeeper always involuntarily moves away when he meets his eyes. The one behind is wearing a white fox fur coat, with a firm light in his eyes, and occasionally sees him. Flashed sharp.

The shopkeeper sighed in his heart, the few people that Shang Qiye made friends with are not the ones in the pool, are they?
The three of them also knew that the shopkeeper was looking at them, but his eyes were not annoying, they were warm and moist, so the three of them didn't mind.

These thoughts of the shopkeeper were just fleeting, he smiled and saluted: "How many people want to stay in the shop?"

The three of them nodded, and the shopkeeper said with a smile: "The rooms here are divided into three classes: A, B, and C. Class A is five taels of silver a day, but it includes hot water and food. Class B, one tael a day, only includes hot water. If you want to eat, you have to buy it yourself. C waits for [-] yuan a day, including hot water, but not food. A and B have more rooms, including a living room, a study room, a bedroom, and a kitchen. Class C has only one bedroom and one study."

The room price is expensive, but it’s worth the money. You can stay in a normal inn for only [-] Wen, or [-] Wen for a better one. The cheapest one here is [-] Wen, but... I looked around and shook my head. Scholars who read and talk, coupled with the quiet and good accommodation here are worth it.

Liang Yilin looked back at the two of them, and after getting along with each other for many days, the three of them had already established a tacit understanding. After getting an affirmative answer, he said: "All of them want second-class rooms."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Are there three second-class rooms?"

Liang Yilin frowned and said, "We all brought our book boys and guards with us..."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, there is an inn behind us, specially for the book boys and servants brought by the princes, it only costs fifteen yuan a day, don't worry about it, the room is 25 cents a day more than outside. It’s even better, and the front and back are open, so if you have any orders from now on, you can just call the guys in the store to call for someone, and they can also come directly to obey orders.”

Liang Yilin raised his eyebrows. He has also learned a lot of business methods with Liang Yimei in the past few years. At this time, he has to admire the owner of this inn. He has done all kinds of business. Anyone who can afford to live in this inn, who And no book boys or guards to follow?
Liang Yimei smiled and said, "Then give us four second-class rooms and five rooms for book boys."

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, Liang Yilin explained: "There are also my sister's."

The shopkeeper was taken aback, and his face showed embarrassment, Liang Yilin asked, "What's wrong?"

Steward Tang stepped forward and said, "Young Master Liang, the Zhuangyuan building is full of scholars, why not let Miss Liang go to Shang's house first, my Fifth Miss and Sixth Miss just came back from Taiyuan, and they want to make more friends these days." Where's my friend?" Before coming here, Master Qi had explained that he wanted to serve Young Master Liang as him.

Liang Yilin said: "When we settle down in a few days, I will definitely ask my sister to visit, but it's a little inconvenient now, and the things around me are always arranged by my sister, the shopkeeper. My sister is only staying here for a few days. She will naturally move out when we find a house, don't worry, we won't cause trouble with you." The latter words were indeed addressed to the shopkeeper.

Several people jumped in their hearts, Chen Liyan and Feng Jianjie also looked at him, Liang Yilin never mentioned this, Liang Yilin laughed when he saw their misunderstanding: "I don't worry about my sister staying in an inn outside, it's not convenient to follow me, So I thought about buying a small house for her, the reading atmosphere here is quite strong, but it is only suitable for scholars outside, and it is too boring for the boudoir."

In other words, Liang Yilin still lives here, but his sister moved out!
The shopkeeper was already somewhat willing in his heart, but he was still hesitant on the surface.Liang Yilin laughed and said, "My sister's room is next to mine. How about I pay the first-class room?"

Then the shopkeeper laughed and said, "I don't dare to ask Mr. Liang for more money. It's just that Miss Liang tries not to go out. Otherwise, it's not good to cause a sensation."

Liang Yilin said with a smile: "That's natural. He gave Xiaobai a wink and paid a month's rent on the spot. Although the shopkeeper refused, Liang Yilin still insisted on giving him the first-class rent, and the shopkeeper laughed even harder. Kindly, I ordered someone to go outside on the spot to take Liang Yimei's carriage to the back door and get off!
Liang Yimei turned a few turns before coming in from the back door. She put on a veiled hat, walked through the corridor, and walked for about a quarter of an hour before arriving. The strange thing was that she didn't meet a scholar along the way. A Tao put her luggage on the bed and said : "Miss wait, I'll go and bring the luggage up."

Liang Yimei nodded and looked at the room. The layout is really good. The light at the other end of the study is bright. It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into the design, but she couldn't find the kitchen no matter how hard she looked. Xiaoer stood outside, so he recruited him and asked, "Didn't you say there is a kitchen here? Where is it?"

Xiaoer replied respectfully: "The kitchen is shared, there is only one on each floor, no, the one at the end is there, if the girl wants to cook, go there, the inn only provides firewood and spatulas, and the rest You have to bring your stuff.”

Liang Yimei nodded, moving quickly with more people, and the two brothers and sisters didn't bring much, even if they did, they were in Liang Yimei's space... After a while, they settled down.

Tang Guanshi came in from the outside at this time, and said to Liang Yilin: "Just now Master Qi sent a servant by his side to say that after he got off the yamen, he came to meet Mr. Liang, but I wonder if Mr. Liang is convenient?"

Liang Yilin laughed, and said: "I said it's inconvenient for him to come yet? His temperament is just asking for nothing, come if you want, and I just happened to explain two friends to him."

Both Chen Liyan and Feng Jianjie were fascinated by his smile. Liang Yilin usually has a gentle look, even when he laughs, it's just a smile. He seldom laughs like he is now. There is a bit of naughtiness in his expression. With respect to him, it seems that he has a good relationship with that Shang Qiye!
Liang Yilin smiled and said to Chen Liyan and Feng Jianjie: "What do you two think?"

The two laughed and said, "That's naturally good!"

At this moment, Guanshi Tang was even more certain in his heart that Mr. Liang and Qi Ye had a good relationship, and said respectfully: "If Qi Ye has any orders, just leave it to the younger one. The capital is still somewhat familiar."

Liang Yilin laughed and said, "Well, there is really one thing I need to bother Tang Guanshi. I want to buy a small house, but I'm not familiar with the capital, so it's inevitable that Tang Guanshi will help me. My sister can't live here for a long time, so... "
