Compared with later generations, today's Beijing is not very big, and the core area is even smaller, but it is really enough to rely on two legs.

Out of the Hanlin Courtyard, Zhang Juzheng went all the way to the west, and only after walking that his legs were sore, he saw Qian Yuan and his party from a distance.

This is the third day that Qian Yuan arrived in the capital, and he couldn't wait to find a place to stay yesterday afternoon, the Zhang family is too narrow, and the thirty guards can't live in the inn all the time, and he will live for at least a few months and wait for the try.

"From here to there." A middle-aged man was saying to Qian Yuan, "There are about a dozen households, the movement is not small, and they are all old mansions, but I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money." ”

"It's fine." Qian Yuan shook his sleeves and said with a smile: "The junior brother is not as good as Brother Wen, just being afraid of the test will take three or four times, and it will take more than ten years." ”

"The county test, the government test, the road test, and the township test are all passed once, and it takes three or four times to take the exam?" The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile, "Zhancai is too humble." ”

"It's really not ......" Qian Yuan turned his head to see Zhang Juzheng, "Come on, uncle, let me introduce, this is the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and this is the thirty-first year of Jiajing, Beizhili Township, trying to solve Yuan Sun Yan, in the text." ”

Although Sun Yan is a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang, he borrowed his hometown from the capital to participate in the Beizhili Township Test, and three years ago the Township Trial Xie Yuan, but because of his grandmother's death, he returned to his hometown to guard filial piety, and returned to Kyoto not long ago.

Yesterday, Qian Yuan visited Sun's house, and when he talked about choosing a place to build a house, Sun Yan took the initiative to ask for help, and in the past three years, Qian Yuan and the Sun family have been exchanging letters, and the most frequent one is Sun Yan.

Sun Yan and Zhang Juzheng saluted each other, and the latter knew in his heart that this was the eldest son of Sun Sheng, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials who had just recovered.

"Okay, after the new year, if you have anything to talk about later, let's get down to business first." Qian Yuan interrupted impatiently.

"Zhancai is an acute child."

"Not necessarily." Zhang Juzheng chuckled and said, "When are you going to visit that person in the Yan Mansion?" ”

"Drag the ...... first" Qian Yuan was stunned, and asked rhetorically: "The result is out?" ”

"Well, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, and concurrently served as the governor of Zhejiang." Zhang Juzheng said in a low voice: "Zhancai, you give me a truthful word, Hu Zongxian may take on a heavy responsibility?" ”

Sun Yan couldn't help but listen closely, Shaoxing has always been the front line of the anti-Japanese war, and his uncle Sun Kan died indirectly at the hands of the Japanese three years ago.

"What did I say?" Qian Yuan complained, and after a moment of silence, he whispered: "Hu Zongxian is a person with deep thoughts, a strategic belly, unscrupulous means, but with guts and blood, he is really the first choice...... Yan Fenyi is lucky. ”

Sun Yan and Zhang Juzheng both knew Qian Yuan very well, and knew that this young man had accurate eyesight and knew the situation in the southeast well, and they were both relieved after hearing this answer.

"Okay, two people, one editor of the Hanlin Academy, to discuss this kind of thing...... It really doesn't make sense! Qian Yuan waved his hand, "Let's help take a look at this piece of land first...... Tsk, it costs a lot of money! ”

The three of them walked along the road, about seven or eight acres of land, there are six wells, and a small river ditch, although they are not familiar with Beijing, but Qian Yuan can be sure that this is within the inner ring, and it will be a sky-high price in this land in later generations.

"There are two gardens on the east and west sides, the door is open on the south side, the main hall and the east and west gardens are connected by a long corridor, and there are many houses in the outer courtyard, and there are many guards at home."

"In addition to the main courtyard, the backyard should be separated from each other."

"There are too few trees, so I need to get more flowers and trees when I go back."

"Uh-huh, have someone bring some ornamental furniture from the garden."

Qian Yuan gushed endlessly, Zhang Juzheng's heart was sour, as soon as his mother entered the capital, he was going to buy a mansion, he was really rich!

Zhang Juzheng was ruthless in his heart, Lao Tzu will also live in a mansion in the future, well, my feet are sore today, and I will have to make a big sedan chair in the future!

Sun Yan didn't have these thoughts, he just kept talking about all kinds of things on the side, he was a local and was very familiar with this area.

"Xicheng is a place where officials from the DPRK and China live together, and it is very difficult to find a big house, so I want to build a garden...... That's it, if there is an official on the other street who refuses to move, it will be troublesome. Sun Yan looked left and right, "If it is settled, I will let someone do it when I go back, and you will come back to repair the garden later." ”

"Then please Brother Wen." Qian Yuan nodded again and again, "The little brother who needs the silver will be sent by someone." ”

"In such a big place, even if the garden is slowly repaired in the future, it will take several months just to build a house." Zhang Juzheng interjected and asked, "Where do you live during this time?" Remember, you also need to prepare for the exam. ”

"Go to me." Sun Yan was generous, "The guards are brought together, and there is a place in the house to settle them." ”

Qian Yuan hesitated for a while, he knew that he was still a sensitive chess piece now, and he really didn't want to cause any trouble to the Sun family.

"Forget it, let's rent another house." Qian Yuan shook his head and said, "I will go to the Yanfu Courtyard tomorrow, and it is not appropriate to live in your mansion at this time." ”

Seeing that Sun Yan was going to persuade him again, Qian Yuan preemptively said: "Brother Wenzhong, you also know that the decision to buy land and build a house is also because my uncle is about to be transferred to Beijing, and he will still have to rent a house at that time." ”

Sun Yan stopped talking.

Originally, I was going to have a meal nearby, but the brother of Zhang Juzheng's family was really a little difficult, and he didn't eat a bite of food without Qian Yuan cooking in the past two days.

In the end, the three of them went to Zhang's mansion together, on the way Sun Yan made two catties of wine, Zhang Juzheng bought a roast duck, Qian Yuan made a mutton pot, and everyone dispersed happily.

That night, Qian Yuan left Zhang Juzheng, who wanted to have a long talk with him, and pondered in the room alone.

Three things, first, Hu Zongxian has finally succeeded in ascending to the throne, and the Japanese will usher in the strongest opponent who will end their fate.

But Qian Yuan vaguely guessed in his heart that this time may not be the same as in history, at least Xu Hai did not continue to go ashore to plunder, but turned around and grabbed territory with Wang Zhi, and the trajectory of history has shifted.

Qian Yuan couldn't help but think of the woman in Chongde County, and he didn't know if her fate would be better or worse, and whether she would still be written into "The Legend of Jin Yunyi......

The second is tomorrow's banquet, Yan Song is the first assistant of the cabinet, naturally he will not come forward, the so-called Yan Mansion Eighty percent is Yan Shifan's residence, what kind of face will this son of a traitorous minister who is famous in history with ingenuity and arrogance present?

The Yan Party is running out of time, and Qian Yuan doesn't want to have anything to do with the Yan Party, but before the collapse, the Yan Party is powerful, and he offends Li Mo, Xu Jie, and then the Yan Party......

Li Moming has no reason to deal with Qian Yuan on the face, Xu Jie and Qian Yuan are fellow villagers after all, but the party is strict...... Start unscrupulously, and don't bother to find a reason.

It's useless to think about it now, so I can only improvise when the time comes, hoping that I won't be regarded as Yan Song's party...... Think about it, after Hu Zongxian became the governor of Zhejiang in history, he probably never saw Yan Song, but in the end he had to commit suicide because of this.

Qian Yuan sighed, this is the third thing, today I visited the Sun Mansion, and Sun Sheng, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, said very clearly, Qian Zheng stepped down from the post of General Judge of Huizhou Mansion and was transferred to Beijing to serve as the Left Senator of the General Political Department.

This is a seemingly ordinary, but in fact strange transfer.

Although Sun Sheng is the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, it is impossible for Li Mo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, not to be able to ignore the relationship between Qian Zheng and Qian Yuan's uncle and nephew.

When Qian Yuan entered Xiyuan, Emperor Jiajing immediately rejected Cao Bangfu, and the logical relationship between them can be understood by everyone.

Li Mo is not open-minded, and this year happens to be the year of external inspection......

Qian Yuan felt that there must be something strange in it, but he didn't know what the problem was?
