Chapter 38: A New Home

Who knew that Liang Xinming said again: "Don't worry, the student will rent at the market price." Although the students of Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info have some savings by selling paintings, they will have to support their wives and children in the future, and they have no other source of income, so they are really unable to help others, and they will not slap their swollen faces and become fat. When students are able to do so in the future, they will do what they can and help others. ”

Wang Heng glared at her and said half-loudly: "That's how it should be." ”

I thought that this disciple was really welcome.

Hong Fei smiled and shook his horse and said, "Qingyun is right! Those who can be friends with Antai can't be poorer than they are. Even if he is really poor, he has already reached out to help, where will he wait for you to help!"

The two sides laughed and joked for a while.

Because it was inconvenient to stay on the street, Hong Fei said to Liang Xinming: "You go and settle down at home, and wait for me to help you collect some books and articles and send them to you." ”

Liang Xinming hurriedly said: "Thank you, Master Fang." ”

He seemed to unconsciously glance at Wang Heng.

Sure enough, Wang Heng asked, "What books do you want?" ”

Liang Xinming said: "Students have no experience and don't know where to start. ”

Wang Heng said: "I'll pick some for you." ”

Liang Xinming immediately said: "In this way, the student thanked the teacher. ”

From the matter of renting a house, she could tell that he wanted to help her.

In that case, she didn't have to be polite to him.

At the moment, she urgently needs to review the materials.

This place was not like her previous life. In the era of information explosion in her previous life, she could find any review materials she wanted on the Internet, and if she didn't go to major bookstores, she would definitely be able to find a lot of them. In this world, like those famous Confucian commentaries on the scriptures and the latest famous articles, you can't buy them in bookstores. A scholarly family like the Wang family must have all kinds of articles and classics, so of course she has to find a way to get some.

In this imperial examination, Liang Xinming is determined to win!

Wang Heng summoned an entourage and ordered him to take Liang Xinming's family to Zhao Ziyi's residence, which was on Dezheng Road, while he himself and Lord Zhou went to the palace to face the saint and deliver errands.

The Zhao family's house is only two deep, the front is the inverted house, the hanging flower door is the inner courtyard, there is a verandah to connect the left and right wings and the main house. There are five rooms in the main house, and there are three small hugging houses in the back. The two-compartment rooms are all three-bay rooms.

If there is no courtyard wall in the middle, this is actually a courtyard house.

There are two old family servants - Daddy Qiao and Granny Qiao take care of the house.

The Zhao family is a declining official eunuch and has never rented out a house, and Father Qiao and Granny Qiao are not used to buying and selling in the market. On the Liang family's side, since Li Huiniang followed Liang Xinming out of the mountain, she has to break up a penny to spend on her life, buy things in the market and pinch them for two, buy a handful of vegetables and take away a bunch of shallots by the way, and bargaining is as neat as chopping melons and vegetables. When the two parties met, Li Huiniang crackled and cut the annual rent from 100 taels to 80 taels.

Father Qiao said: "This, this is too little! This is the capital, and it can't be compared with Huizhou." Like the one next door to us, it earns 120 taels a year. ”

Li Huiniang immediately asked: "How big is the next door?" Let's go and see if the house is new. ”

With just one sentence, Daddy Qiao was weak and timid, and he didn't dare to take her over.

Because the house next door is a three-entry courtyard, and the house is decently repaired, the furniture and utensils are new, the layout is good, and there are more flowers and trees in the yard.

Li Huiniang also guessed that he was not as good as others, otherwise the price would not be less than others, so she took the opportunity to pick the shortcomings of this yard.

Daddy Qiao is really not her opponent, and in the end eighty taels were sold.

He saw that Liang Xinming's family was brought by Wang Heng, and he was embarrassed to ask for too much, for fear of losing Zhao Ziyi's face. Wang Hanlin invited his master to a wine and dinner, and he was afraid that he would get ten taels of silver, how could his students ask for so much?

However, Father Qiao also put forward a side request: the two of them still live in an upside-down house, first, they can watch the house for the master, and second, they can also help the Liang family guard the door and spread the word.

In his opinion, this is not too much to ask.

However, Li Huiniang flatly refused.

It's not that she's unreasonable, it's really that the Liang family has a big secret, and they can't leave outsiders to live together, if they leak something, it's a disaster to cut off their heads!

Liang Xinming agreed.

Daddy Qiao and his wife were overjoyed, and felt that Liang Juren was reasonable, this Grandma Liang was too powerful, and she would wait for Liang Juren to become an official in the future, she was so childish, how could she run a family and deal with his wife and grandmothers.

Li Huiniang followed Liang Xinming into the inner courtyard, and when no one was there, she quietly asked her: "Why do you dare to agree? What if they find out about you?"

Liang Xinming said: "When I am admitted, my subordinates will have to hire people, and my family will have to add people, which is a matter of time." It is not a bad thing to take advantage of this opportunity to learn how to employ people and to be cautious. I think that my father and mother-in-law are honest people, we were born to be like this. ”

Hui Niang suddenly realized, changed her vigilant attitude, and was very enthusiastic about the second elder.

In less than half an hour, the second elder's impression of her changed greatly.

Liang Xinming carefully looked at the front and back of the house, inside and out, and felt that Father Qiao and his family were loyal, and they cleaned up the house refreshingly and could move in immediately, but the bedding and other things on the bed needed to be purchased by themselves, and it was always difficult to use others.

This matter was naturally discussed by Li Huiniang with Granny Qiao.

Liang Xinming turned the two rooms on the west side into a study, the outer room is a place to read and study, and the inner suite is used for rest. There are two rooms on the east side, the outer room is the living room, and the bedroom is in the suite. The east and west wings are temporarily vacant.

After all the arrangements were made, she thought about her next step.

She is going to go to the Huizhou Hall tomorrow with the name of Governor Lin, to visit Master Yan, and then to meet the fellow villagers in Huizhou, and then try to inquire about the situation in the capital and the court;

Thinking about it, she settled down.

Besides, Wang Heng and Lord Zhou entered the palace to renew the decree.

Emperor Jing Kang is only twenty-five years old this year, surnamed Qin Mingshao, and Wang Hengjun and his ministers are like-minded, and they are very happy to reunite after a few months of separation.

Wang Heng and the others returned to the errand, and Emperor Jing Kang listened carefully. Nothing else, praised Wang Heng for his merciless handling of the Wu Governor's Mansion. He ordered Lord Zhou to step down first, and then carefully inquired about Wang Heng, the local customs and political affairs of Huizhou.

Wang Hengtian was almost dark before leaving the palace.

The palace is on Chang'an Avenue, which is a street where princes and nobles gather outside the imperial city.

Wang Heng's father, Wang Ji, was originally a secretary of the ministry and a cabinet minister. Later, Wang Heng entered the court as an official, and was favored by Emperor Jing Kang, in order to avoid the power of father and son to tilt towards the government and the opposition, the emperor was jealous, and the villain was jealous, and took the initiative to withdraw from the cabinet.

At present, the family of the palace is the king, because Mrs. Wang serves the old lady in Huizhou, so the person in charge of the inner house is the eldest lady of the second room. This second room is not Wang Heng's uncle, but the second room of Wang Heng's grandfather's generation. Although there are many clansmen of the Wang family in the capital, only the long house and the second room are the most prosperous, and the rest of the clansmen rely on these two to take care of them.

After Wang Heng arrived home, he first went to greet his father.
