Chapter 188

Hu Xin has been admitted to the Shu Jishi, so he will definitely live in the capital in the future. How to live in the capital is also a problem.

Everyone is discussing this matter, borrowing someone else's house will definitely not work, after all, it will be three years.

When buying a house, it is said that the houses near the Imperial Academy are not for sale, and the price is very expensive.

"It's better to buy a farther away, and it is also possible to send it by horse-drawn carriage at ordinary times." Uncle Hu said.

The reason why he said to buy it was because Hu Xin and Du Yu might live in the capital for a long time, so they might as well buy a house.

Hu Xin said: "At the beginning, let's rent it first. After a while, we are familiar with each other in the capital, and it is not too late to find a dental office to find a house."

Uncle Hu said: "That's right, so as not to be driven up the price."

At this time, the price will definitely be high. After all, there are people like Hu Xin who need a house. After a while, it may cool down.

As for the people who are brought to the capital, everyone has discussed that at least one person who does chores and cooks must be brought along. Counting the odds and eights, four or five people can be added.

Manager Wang has made arrangements there, Du Yu thought, when he really stayed in the capital, he would just take his uncle and the others to the capital. It would be better for the whole family to be together.

Otherwise, you will never be able to be filial.There are uncle, aunt, grandma and Hu Bing in the room. Hu Bing is still young, so he can't be allowed to take care of the whole family.

"We'll wait for you to settle down. We're more comfortable staying in the country. If we really go to Beijing, we'll probably get sick. It's even worse for your grandma. She's old and she's going to the capital. It's a long road, and it's a toss up all the way. You two just support each other in the capital, and if the development is really good, we don't need you to say, we will go too."

What is not expensive in the capital? If so many of them went, it would be troublesome. Besides, Xin'er is not an official now. How can a few taels of salary per month be enough to support a large family?
And all these fields at home are gone, who will take care of them?So Uncle Hu is not in favor of going to the capital right now, no matter what, Xin'er and the others have to establish a firm foothold in the capital before they can talk about it.

Du Yu also went to Du's house to say goodbye, and Qi said: "Let's go, let's go, you remember, you are now the daughter-in-law of the Hu family, and everything is dominated by the Hu family. Only when your husband is well can you be well. " Qi looked around, and said: "Hu Xin is about to develop, you have to take good care of him, and you can't let other women pick the fruit, or I will deny you My granddaughter's!"

The Qi family doesn't want her granddaughter to be defeated by a woman from the outside world. Anyway, she wants her granddaughter to display a tough temperament like her. If Hu Xin really finds another woman, then you are welcome and give him his face. It's okay to scratch it, anyway, what's the face?
Keeping your man is the most important thing!

"Your father is still the magistrate of the county. You have your father as your backer. You are not an orphan with no one. Remember, you usually act tough so that others dare not bully you. Take a look. Your Tang Aunt Chun'er, if she hadn't become so soft at the time, how could Yang Wangfu bully her like that? In the end, they made peace and were taken over by a widow. Let me tell you, if you were really with your Chun'er Tang Like aunt, I will never forgive you, I will give you two whips when I come back!"

Du Yu hurriedly said: "Grandma, he is my cousin, he just doesn't give me face, doesn't he give my parents face? Besides, big cousin is not that kind of person."

"It still looks the same now, but for a man, it may change at any time, especially since he is still young and has not experienced enough temptations. The capital city is a world of flamboyance. People see that he is young and have a future. It’s not the same as a fly staring at an egg, it’s all staring at it, be smart, your mother is not here, that is, I can tell you this, when you arrive in the capital, don’t miss us, we are living a good life.

It’s not good, I’ll complain to you too. Your father and your son-in-law have read it out. In the future, your elder brother and your second brother will read it out. I don’t have any wishes in my life. I just go underground and talk to my parents-in-law. In other words, I didn't feel sorry for them. "

"Grandma, look at you, you are talking, why did you go underground? You have a long life, and when I grow old, you are still alive and well."

Qi said: "Naturally, I want to live a good life. If I'm not here, your father will have to keep his filial piety, and then he won't be able to be an official. Just for this, I have to live a good life, and your grandfather, he also has to live a good life." Give me a good life."

Grandma even inquired about this, which is really amazing. Back then, she was the most opposed to father and the others studying. Now, in order for father to become an official smoothly, she really inquired about everything.

Du Yu received a lesson from her natal family, and several aunts also gave Du Yu some things to let her live a good life in the capital, and said that she should give birth to the child quickly, and she will stabilize after she has a child.

Fifth Aunt Chen's stomach still hasn't moved. She said this too. Now that their family's conditions are getting better and better, some people think that she can't give birth, so they want to send their daughter or niece over to be Fifth Uncle's concubine. Well, but Uncle Wu is determined not to, and grandma Qi also said that their old Du family doesn't have such rules, if anyone wants to marry a concubine, it's fine, just leave the house, and she won't recognize him.

Because of this, although the Qi family is usually very fierce to the Chen family, the Chen family still respects this mother-in-law.

The third aunt and the fourth aunt each added a daughter and a son, and they are both children.

Du Yu knew that Sanlang was already married. After Sanlang got married, he brought his wife to visit his grandfather and grandmother.

Grandpa and grandma had a good impression of Saburo, so they didn't drive them away, and even gave them a meeting gift.

I heard from the third aunt Gao that Sanlang's daughter-in-law was his favorite. His parents didn't agree with it at first, but Sanlang felt that he liked her very well. The second uncle and the second aunt were so angry that they finally agreed without knowing what to do.

The third aunt said that Sanlang's daughter-in-law was also good, but Du Yu hadn't seen it before, so she couldn't draw conclusions.

The aunt and the second aunt didn't have time to say goodbye, because their holidays were running out and they had to rush to the capital to report.

So Du Yu and Hu Xin set off towards the capital with seven or eight servants under the farewell of a group of relatives.

This time they planned to rent a yard, otherwise they would not be able to arrange for this person, because there are special cooks, and rough jobs, as well as drivers, janitors, and the two of them. There are eight or nine servants in total.

"When we arrive in the capital, let's stay in an inn first, then we find a house and move there immediately," Hu Xin said.

The Chu family courtyard was willing for them to live in, but they had to be conscious of it, and the distance between the Chu family courtyard and the Imperial Academy was a bit far. Du Yu didn't want his eldest cousin to wake up before dawn every day, just like the people in court. , isn't that a loss?

People like them only need to go to the Hanlin Academy in the middle of the morning (that is, eight o'clock).Not too early, not too late.But if you live far away, it will take a lot of time, and you may need to leave at [-] o'clock in the morning.It’s even earlier to wake up. Although people generally go to bed early at this time, they don’t take this kind of thing. They can sleep as long as they can.

You can get off work at the beginning of Shen Shichu in the afternoon ([-]:[-] p.m.). At this time, it is generally quite early to leave the office. Many people have left the office and can arrange various activities. However, Du Yu has the final say, and it is also eight hours of work. time.

It seems that people at this time also know how to arrange working hours scientifically.That's not blowing.

Du Yu nodded, since the eldest cousin said he arranged, then she can enjoy it directly, and there is no shame in relying on her husband.

The journey back to Beijing is also fast. Of course, before returning to Beijing, they also went to the county to visit Dean Chu and the others to express their gratitude for their stay. After all, without their other courtyard, they would not be able to live so peacefully. I didn't worry about the accommodation either.

As for the eldest brother and sister-in-law, they also urged Du Yu again and again. Although Hu Xin was one year older than Du Dalang, Du Dalang still asked Hu Xin to take good care of his sister and not bully her as an uncle.

It's over, before leaving, Du Yu's sister-in-law also gave Du Yu a 50 taels of silver for the ceremony, and said: "You are in the capital, and everything costs money. I will give this and you can take it. Later, your eldest brother will pass the Juren exam." , I have to go to the capital to bother you, this time it is an advance expense, but it has to be charged, otherwise it is not treating us as a family."

Du Yu had no choice but to accept it. The sister-in-law is really generous, although her dowry has a lot of land, and she has a lot of money every year.

Zhuangzi, Du Yu's dowry, can also earn two to three hundred taels a year. Thinking about saving for a few years, if he really buys a house in the capital, it can be regarded as buying a property in the capital.

It's just that when you arrive in the capital, you can't spend all your expenses on your own money, or you will only get poorer and poorer. It seems that when you arrive in the capital, you have to think about ways to get started.

The eldest cousin is a good man, and his monthly salary is three taels of silver.

How can three taels of silver be enough to feed so many people?It's not enough at all, the prices in the capital are high, no wonder some people would rather choose to go outside than stay in Beijing, because outside, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and money can be made quickly.

Don't talk about others, just talk about Du Yu's father, and he will get much more money in Pengze County than in Beijing.

When it comes to the place, when the water is clear, there will be no fish, so her mother even partnered with others to run a seafood shop. Although she only holds the dry stock, she doesn't have any hand in the operation.But you can also collect money, no less than a few hundred taels a year.

When she arrived in the capital, she was not a chicken head, and no one thought about doing business with you, the wife of a concubine in the Imperial Academy. After all, compared to others, your power is even lower than that of a small fingernail.

Thinking about it this way, it's quite worrying. Money is really a good thing, but it's also a depressing thing.

There are other people in the family who are doing business, and the money from the business is used for the management of the officials in the family. The better the officials, the better the business can be, but the Hu family does not have such a powerful family. For a capable businessman, don't mention this.
