The spring breeze is warm, the warm sun is shining, and the hustle and bustle of the day has begun in Qingzhou City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Three guest officers, look at the location of this courtyard, this crescent street is next to Rice Grain Street to the east, and to the west is next to the Doll Garden Calligraphy and Painting Street, which is not only convenient for daily life, but also has a little bit of bookish atmosphere. Look at the inside of this small courtyard, although it is not big, but the main house, the east and west wings are spacious and bright, and the south house can be used as a firewood room. You see there is also a well here, and this well platform is also built with bluestone, and it is not afraid of rain and collapse. There is such a big osmanthus here, and when the osmanthus blooms in autumn, it is really full of fragrance. Look at this stone table under the osmanthus tree, there is also a chessboard engraved on it, in his spare time, Xiao Langjun and his friends make a pot of tea here, smell the sweet aroma of osmanthus, and talk about a game, are you happy? ”

In a small courtyard on Xinyue Street in Yuqingfang, Zhang Fugui, a tooth man from Dongcheng Dental Shop, was spitting on the first business of the day.

And his three customers are Zhong Hao and Xu's mother and daughter. After breakfast today, they went around Qingzhou City early, looking for a suitable house to rent, after all, the guest house is too expensive, not a long-term solution.

Now the courtyard introduced by Zhang Yaren is the fifth courtyard that Zhong Hao and Xu have seen today.

Xu and Zhong Hao looked at the environment of this small courtyard and felt quite satisfied, and after listening to Zhang Yaren's introduction, they were quite moved, but they felt that the rent of 600 Wen in January was too expensive. You must know that at this time, the expenses of an ordinary family are always more money.

Fortunately, Zhong Hao still has some skills in bargaining.

Zhong Hao walked around the courtyard and quickly found something wrong. The window lattices of the east and west wings in this courtyard are a little decayed, and the window paper has long been brittle and unusable, so it is necessary to find a carpenter to re-create and install the window lattice and paste the window paper. The tables and chairs in the main room have also been completely corrupted because they have not been used for a long time, and they cannot be used anymore and need to be replaced.

Zhong Hao bit these two problems and bargained with Zhang Yaren, Zhang Yaren wanted to have a good result for the first business in the morning, and finally agreed to rent the yard to three people at a price of 400 wen and a one-time payment of half a year's rent.

After the price was negotiated, Zhang Yaren found the head of Yu Qingfang to be a middleman and made a rental contract.

Of course, the head of the workshop is not a Chinese person who did it for nothing, there are 20 Chinese fees, and of course the money is paid by Zhong Hao.

Yu Qingfang's head is surnamed Guan, and after signing the rental contract between Zhong Hao and Zhang Yaren, Guan Fang took out another book and asked Zhong Hao and the three of them to register their names and places of origin. It is said that this is a requirement of the government for tenants in each square to be recorded, so that what happened can be well documented.

Although the city of the Song Dynasty has already broken the restrictions of the Fang market in the Tang Dynasty and torn down the fang wall, the fang has always existed as the most basic management unit of the city. The head of the town is usually a well-respected person in the community, who is responsible for organizing the collection of taxes and managing the security of the town, and they rely on their prestige to assist the government in managing the city.

Zhong Hao picked up the slender one of the toothed people, and wrote the names and origins of himself and the Xu family mother and daughter in a beautiful small block with a beautiful handy.

Guan Fang saw Zhong Hao's beautiful little letter, and couldn't help but light up his eyes, but he didn't expect Zhong Hao to write at a young age, and his pen was quite profound, so he couldn't help but nod his head and praise Zhong Hao.

Guan Fang put away the book, and instructed the three of them to love their neighbors, live in harmony, and not to be traitors, etc., and specially instructed Zhong Hao to remember to read more and practice words often.

After sending off Zhang Yaren and Guan Fangchang, Zhong Hao and the three began to clean up the yard.

When they finished planning the sanitation of the yard, the three of them couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, because they found that there were too many things to do. The window lattices of the two wings need to be repaired by a carpenter, the window paper also needs to be re-pasted, the stove of the firewood room needs to be rebuilt by a mason, the pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea need to be purchased, and the tables and chairs, bed cabinets, bedding, water tanks, and wooden barrels also need to be bought.

Fortunately, the neighbors here are very welcoming, and when they heard about the new neighbors, they all came to help.

A neighbor who knows how to build a mason volunteered to help Zhong Hao build a stove; If a relative is a carpenter, he will help Zhong Hao and invite his relatives to help repair the windows; There are also enthusiastic neighbors who take Zhong Hao to buy all kinds of daily necessities, and also help carry them home on their shoulders.

As a result, before the evening, Zhong Hao and the others were pleasantly surprised to find that everything that should be purchased had been purchased.

In my own time, there were indifferent neighbors who lived in the same neighborhood but didn't know each other. In this era, in the face of the enthusiasm of his neighbors, Zhong Hao really didn't know what to do. Of course, Zhong Hao is also very pleased with this harmonious neighborhood relationship, and he also cherishes it.

Nostalgia, what a precious treasure!

Zhong Hao and Xu summed it up, and they couldn't let the neighbors help in vain, so they went to the Zuixian Building at the entrance of Xinyue Street and ordered two tables of wine and food, preparing to invite the neighbors to dinner in the evening.

Xu went to buy some candied fruits and snacks on the street, and prepared to let the neighbors take them with them when they went back.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and they will inevitably need to help each other in the future, and if the relationship is good, that is a valuable asset.

Before it was dark, several guys from the Drunken Immortal Building came to the courtyard of Zhong Hao's house with two large long tables, several benches and two large jars of water and wine. After setting up the tables and stools, another guy soon came in with several food boxes.

The shopkeeper took out a plate of sauced beef, roast pork, grilled mutton, braised pig's trotters, steamed meatballs, braised fish fillets, steamed river prawns, stewed chicken with mushrooms, bamboo shoots and tofu from the food box and put them on the table, and soon bought two large tables of dishes on the table. Most of them are meat dishes, and there are no greenhouses in this era, and there are basically no greens to eat in spring. Of course, the neighbors of Crescent Street are all ordinary people, who prefer big fish and big meat.

The men laid out the dishes, took out the cups and chopsticks from the food box, and went back.

Seeing that the banquet was set, Zhong Hao and Xu went separately to invite the neighbors and the head of the neighborhood.

By the time the neighbors had come to sit down, it was already completely dark.

But today is sixteen, the full moon is in the sky, Zhong Hao lit four big candles in the courtyard, and the small courtyard is still very bright.

Xu's mother and daughter sat at a table with the woman and children.

Zhong Hao accompanied the men to make a table, invited Guan Fang Chang to sit on the head, and asked Guan Fang Chang to speak a few words first.

"In the future, Brother Hao and his family will live here, everyone will be a neighborhood, and everyone will be a family in the future, and they must take care of each other. As the saying goes: distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and friendly neighbors are no worse than relatives. Today's banquet is also a housewarming banquet for Brother Hao'er's family, come, let's all borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and toast them with a cup to congratulate the housewarming. After speaking, the head of Guan Fang picked up the wine glass and led all the neighbors to raise a glass to Zhong Hao and the three of them.

Zhong Hao hurriedly raised the wine glass and drank it all, and Xu's mother and daughter didn't know how to drink, so they replaced the wine with tea.

Everyone immediately started to eat and drink, and the small courtyard was full of laughter and laughter.

Zhong Hao drank all his glasses, ate a few mouthfuls of food to suppress the wine, and then picked up the wine glass and returned to the head of Guan Fang and the neighbors.

"In the future, the boy will settle down here, thank you for your care and help, the boy also toasts everyone, we will be a family in the future!"

"Yes, family!" All the neighbors raised their glasses in response.

The neighbors are very talkative, and the atmosphere of the banquet is very warm. Although these neighbors are ordinary people and don't have much knowledge, it doesn't prevent them from being proud of being a common man in Wangzhou of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhong Hao listened to their gossip, but he really gained a lot of insight and knew a lot more about the Great Song Dynasty.

The neighbors were drinking and talking, and the conversation was strong, but the head of the neighborhood and Zhong Hao didn't talk much. Zhong Hao didn't know anything, so he couldn't interject. Guan Fang seems to be a little reserved about his identity, and he is not very willing to talk nonsense about those nonsense topics with those neighborhood men.

At this time, Guan Fang Chang looked at Zhong Hao, who was listening with relish on the side, but couldn't say a word, and couldn't help but be interested, and asked, "How many years has Brother Hao read?" ”

It's really hard to say, Zhong Hao studied from elementary school to college in the future, and he studied for sixteen years, but he can't say it, he is only fifteen years old now! At that moment, Zhong Hao had to perfunctory Guan Fang and said: "The kid is enlightened at the age of seven!" "Well, this Zhong Hao is indeed seven years old and went to elementary school.

"Oh, who did Brother Hao learn from? How many years have you been studying? It looks like the foundation is quite deep! "In ancient times, when learning characters, I generally started practicing at the age of ten, because the ancients believed that before learning words at the age of ten, "soft bones are easy to hurt", and it is easy to break the foundation. But today, when Guan Fang saw Zhong Hao's signature, the pen was quite profound, and it was absolutely written without more than ten years of hard practice, so he was quite curious about why Zhong Hao could write such a profound one-handed book.

This one...... This is not easy to answer, my grandfather taught me to learn to learn Chinese characters at the age of ten, and it has been written for 18 years now. Zhong Hao's grandfather has always boasted that his ancestors are Zhong Xuan and Zhong Shaojing, and he has great respect for the calligraphy of the big bell and the small bell on his ancestors, and he himself has been immersed in calligraphy for more than 50 years.

Zhong Hao had no choice but to say: "The kid started to learn calligraphy at the age of ten, and he learned from his grandfather!" ”

When Guan Fang heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhong Hao with admiration, and praised: "Brother Hao'er has a family history, but Brother Hao'er's talent is also extremely high, he has only been learning words for five years, and he has such an achievement in a small stroke, and over time, there will be great success." The matter of reading cannot be thrown away, I think Brother Hao'er will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future. ”

"Hehe, the head of the workshop is really a mistake, the kid is ashamed!"

The neighborhood man can talk and drink, and the banquet lasted for more than an hour, until the two jars of wine bottomed out, and the banquet was over.

The banquet for the women and children had already been finished, and they were eating snacks and candied fruits, drinking tea and chatting, and when they saw the men dispersed, they all went to help remove the leftovers, put the cups, plates and dishes aside, and wait for the men from the Drunken Immortal Building to come and fetch them tomorrow.

After sending off the neighbors, Zhong Hao and Xu were a little tired, and the day was too busy. However, Xu Wan was still full of energy, going to the main house for a while, and then to the wing room for a while, obviously immersed in the joy of moving to a new home.

Although it was only a rented house, maybe it was only a temporary place to stay, but no matter what, Zhong Hao finally settled down in Da Song.

Looking at the Xu family, who is full of love for himself, and Wan'er, who is full of dependence on him, Zhong Hao is very relieved.

Where my heart is at peace, it is my hometown.

Da Song, I'm here!
