Fee Chapter (12 points)

It was the thirty-seventh year of the reign of Zhou Zong. Kyoto Biancheng is rich in people, merchants from all over the world gather, whenever the east and west markets open, rubbing shoulders and sweating like rain. The bustling capital is full of traffic and the city is full of people. The shouting and shouting of the street were continuous. The streets are lined with shops, and people are dazzled by the dazzling array of goods. In the restaurant, Xiao Er shuttled quickly with wine and food, and from time to time there were high-pitched discussions, laughter and clinking glasses from the people.

A horse-drawn carriage galloped down the wide street, kicking up a cloud of dust, but no one noticed. In the capital, there were galloping carriages everywhere, and the people were used to seeing them for a long time

"Mother, let's choose this one." The carriage stopped in front of an inn, and a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old came down from it, dressed in a long white floral dress, with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and a pair of bright eyes, clear and clear.

At this moment, she was smiling and talking to the people in the carriage, and her smile was full of elegance.

"Okay." Out of the carriage came a woman dressed in gray, who looked very good with a kind face and a smile on her lips. After the woman got out of the car, two scholars of about the same age came down, one dressed in green clothes and the other in gray clothes. After the two got out of the car, the coachman took the silver taels handed by the girl before and drove away again.

It's finally time to arrive in Kyoto

Shen Ya and his entourage, after sitting in a carriage for a whole month, finally arrived at Biancheng, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

Looking at the lively and prosperous scene of people coming and going on the street, Shen Ya felt as if she was in a different world.

"Let's go inside." Shen Ya carried the burden on her back, stood in front of the inn for a while, felt the liveliness and prosperity of Kyoto, and then walked towards the inn. She was hungry and sleepy now, and she wanted to finish eating and sleeping

As soon as Shen Ya and the others entered, Xiao Er warmly greeted them and showed them the way. In the end, it is the capital, and the people's plain is much higher than that of remote places. This time when they entered the inn, they were dressed the same as before, not only did they not receive unequal treatment, but they were a little flattered. Xiao Er's enthusiasm really makes people feel very comfortable.

In the hall of the inn, there is a large plaque with four large gilded characters written on it: Guest first.

For a moment, Shen Ya even wondered if this inn was opened by someone who traveled through it? How can the service concept be so modern, and actually understand the principle of customer first. No wonder this inn is so famous.

This is Shen Ya asked several passers-by on the road, and it was determined that it was said to be a good inn - Yunlai Inn, which is a relatively civilian inn with a very fair price.

The inn was full of people at the moment, and Xiao Er took them to look for several laps before finding a corner location. Almost all of the people sitting here are candidates who came to Beijing from all over the country to take the exam. Several people sat in a circle, talking about politics, talking about state affairs, almost everything. Among them, what Shen Ya heard them talk about the most was the partisan dispute between the current eldest prince and the third prince.

There are also scholars who talk about their thoughts on governing the country and their evaluation of some officials.

This dynasty had more freedom of speech than she imagined, and Shen Ya was a little surprised. But in the end, it is still the supremacy of imperial power, although he dares to talk about the prince blatantly, but no one dares to evaluate the emperor.

Shen Yan and Li Mu are also scholars, and they are obviously also interested in political affairs, so as soon as they entered the inn, the two of them pricked up their ears and eavesdropped. Hearing the key point, he also nodded, with a look of approval.

Shen Ya looked at the excited expressions on the two of them, and felt funny in her heart, but she felt lucky: she had found the right inn.

After eating, she and Shen's mother went directly upstairs to rest. Shen Ya and Li Mu wanted to stay under the inn, chat with those candidates, and get to know each other. When they were on the road before, the two of them looked sleepy, but now they are as excited as chickens.

Shen Ya saw the two of them like this, so she let them go, in the end they were still young, no matter how deep they usually pretended, when they met someone of the same age as themselves, they would be exposed. Shen Ya took her mother's arm, took a bag of luggage, and went upstairs to take a bath and sleep. Luckily, the inn was big enough, and some of the wealthy children didn't bother to live here, so they were lucky enough to have a room to live in.

But it's definitely not okay to stay in a guest house all the time. Shen Ya thought about it, and when she and her mother had rested enough, she went out to find a house. If they buy a house, they don't have this money for the time being, and the housing prices in the capital are much more expensive than other places, just like Beijing in her previous life. She only has a few dozen taels of silver in her hand now, and at most she can only rent a house to live in, and when she settles down, she will find a way to sell a ginseng and then make plans.

Early the next morning, Shen Ya had dinner with her mother, and went out to look for a house refreshed. Shen Yan and Li Mu stayed in the room and read.

Kyoto's Biancheng is very similar to Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty, when the city's city and fang were separated. That is, there is a place to do business. The residential area is a different place. So if Shen Ya wants to find a house, she must go to the so-called residential area. I don't know if there are similar intermediaries in ancient times, otherwise she would have asked directly.

She and Shen's mother walked around the street, but they didn't find anyone renting a house. It doesn't make sense, she remembered that she had read in a book that many people rented houses in ancient times because they couldn't afford to buy a house, including the famous old Mr. Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty, who rented a house for 18 years, so there should be a lot of places to rent a house in Fang Street.

Could it be that this dynasty is different from what she is known for? Shen Ya thought very puzzled.

However, when Shen Ya saw many scholars holding books walking out of the alley, she finally understood. This house was all rented to the scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam.

"Ya'er, what now?" Shen's mother also saw the strangeness, and knew that at this time, it was more difficult to rent a house. But staying in an inn is not a long-term solution. Yan'er and Li Mu live in it, their mother and daughter always live in the inn, and they will cause gossip in the end.

"Mother, don't worry, let's take a look again." She didn't believe it, there were so many houses on this street, and no one rented them out.

That's it. Shen's mother nodded, and continued to look for a house with Shen Ya. The two of them went to several places, and finally Huang Tian lived up to her wishes and let her find a family.

This is a special household. There are only women in the household's family, and there is no male child, which is precisely for this reason, so the head of the household is reluctant to rent the house to a scholar who is rushing to take the exam, which is inconvenient and will also cause gossip from the neighbors. So the house was empty all the time.

Shen Ya saw the eye-catching red and black words on the wall - house for rent, and knocked on the door of this resident with joy.

After knocking for a while, I heard the door creak open, and a small head came out of it, it was a little girl, with two small pigtails, and she looked very cute.

"Sister, who are you looking for?" When the little girl saw someone she didn't know, she was obviously a little frightened, and timidly showed her head and refused to come out.

Shen Ya didn't expect that it would be a little girl who came out to open the door, and she was stunned for a moment. Shen's mother also didn't expect it. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say. It took a long time to hear Shen Ya say softly: "***, may I ask if your family is renting a house?" ”

As soon as the little girl heard that it was renting a house, she turned her head and shouted inside, "Grandmother, someone is renting a house." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice from inside, "It's coming." Immediately afterwards, I saw an old woman wearing a new lotus color short shirt and black trousers coming out of the inside, and then opened the door wide, and saw Shen Ya's mother and daughter standing outside, and a pair of shrewd eyes looked at the two from top to bottom.

"Auntie, do you have a house to rent here?" Shen Ya tried to ignore the strong discomfort caused to her by the woman in front of her, and asked with a smile that she thought was friendly.

"Yes, ten taels of silver a month." After scanning the two of them, the woman said coldly with a blank face.

The woman looked very cold, always with a straight face, and the years had left many marks on her face, and her hands were full of calluses. Looking at the appearance of this old woman, it seems that life is not satisfactory. It's just that she obviously has such a big house, and look at the clothes on her body, they are new, and the style is also more popular nowadays.

Shen Ya felt puzzled in her heart, but she didn't want to spy on other people's affairs. Right now, all she cares about is how she can rent a house cheaply. Ten taels of silver is too expensive, and she hasn't even looked at how the house is, if she is not satisfied, she will never rent it.

Now she had only fifty taels of silver. In addition to the money for renting a house, she and Shen's mother asked for money for dinner, and Shen Yan and Li Mu asked for money at the guest house. She thought about it, it was better for Shen Yan and Li Mu to live in an inn, where there were candidates like them, everyone could communicate more, and the result of the collision of ideas was that their thinking was more active, which was much stronger than staying in one place all day and studying hard. Through guò communication, you can accept new ideas and acquire new knowledge. This can be regarded as a brainstorming method in disguise. There is less than half a month left before the imperial examination, and in this half month, it is necessary for Shen Yan and Li Mu to communicate with others and maintain their active thinking.

The cost of Yunlai Inn for a day is five yuan, and the two of them add up to one tael of silver a day, and fifteen taels of silver for half a month. The remaining thirty-five taels, in addition to the money for renting, she and her mother also have to buy furniture and buy some daily necessities. In this case, the money was probably not enough to spend, so she had to bargain with the woman again.

It's just that the woman obviously saw that Shen Ya and the others urgently needed a house, and she refused to let go.

"No, I won't rent it without ten taels."

The woman was very defensive, and when she first saw them, she was very wary. Shen Ya knew that the result of such a negotiation would definitely be unfavorable to her. If you want to negotiate with someone, the first thing you need to do is to get the other person to let down their guard against yourself. (To be continued.)
