Being admitted to the county school means that Li Yanqing and others are no longer students of Lushan Primary School, but county students, because Tangyin is a large grain-producing county, the government has a surplus of food, and students from poor families can even receive a subsidy of one liter and two hes of rice per day.

However, Dadaozhi County linked this treatment to archery performance, forcing many poor students to practice archery hard and strive to meet the standards of Dadaozhi County to receive subsidies.

On the second day of the county examination, students who are admitted to the county school must first go to the county school to register, then have a ten-day holiday, and officially register after ten days.

Early in the morning, Li Yanqing, Yue Fei and others came to the county school to register their names, and they were still candidates two days ago, and in a blink of an eye, they became official students, as if they were in a dream.

The four of them wandered around the county school with great interest, Yue Fei was especially happy, although the tuition of the county school was free of charge, and the food and rice subsidies were paid every day, but the room and board still had to be charged separately, but it was relatively cheap, five yuan a year.

However, the top ten can be exempted from the first year's room and board fees, and the top three will be free of board and lodging for two years in the county school, and Yue Fei is the second place, which can reduce a lot of burden on his family, at least his younger brother can also study and go to school.

"Brother Yanqing!"

At this time, someone suddenly shouted Li Yanqing behind them, and the four of them turned around and saw a young student running towards this side.

Li Yanqing immediately recognized it, it was actually Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian ranked fifth in the overall list this time, mainly because his martial arts were holding back, Li Yanqing stepped forward and smiled: "Is there anything wrong with Brother Xian?" ”

Zhang Xian smiled: "I want to congratulate Brother Yanqing on the top of the high school list, I'm ashamed!" The arrow test only hit three arrows. ”

"Brother Xian is too modest, we should be tied for the top spot, come! I'll introduce you to a few good friends, in fact, everyone has met at the children's party. ”

Yue Fei and the three of them saluted Zhang Xian, Wang Gui saw that he was too handsome and elegant, and he didn't like it very much, so the corners of his mouth twitched, but Tang Huai couldn't see any expression.

"Several brothers have already registered!"

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "It's all registered, and I'm ready to go home after a little more shopping." ”

Zhang Xian scratched his head, "But I have to go to the dormitory soon, don't you know?" ”

Li Yanqing and the four of them were stunned, they didn't even know that they would book a dormitory now, Yue Fei asked, "Who notified you?" ”

"There's a notice on the wall! Maybe it was just posted, but you didn't see it. ”

Li Yanqing and the four of them hurriedly ran to the registration office, and a large group of new students stood next to the registration office, looking up at something, and sure enough, they posted a dormitory rental notice:

Upper house single house, three times a month; Single room in the middle house, consistent monthly money; Lower double room, 300 wen per month; In addition, there is a ten-person room for the general house, 100 wen per month, they are admitted to the top ten free board and lodging, which means that the general house is free, if you want to live better, you still have to pay for it.

Wang Gui scolded angrily, the county school was more ruthless than robbers, Yue Fei's face was ugly, and he found that he was thinking too much about things.

Li Yanqing asked Zhang Xiandao with a smile: "What dormitory did the virtuous brother choose?" ”

Zhang Xian shook his head, "I don't choose either, I decided to rent a house outside!" ”

"Is it possible to rent a house?" The four of them asked in unison.

"Absolutely!"

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "This is the county school tradition, some students have been married, they must rent a house, and it is very cost-effective to rent a house, like a courtyard before and after, more than a dozen rooms, a month's rent is only three times, and there are only three rooms in a single courtyard here, and it also costs three times, it is too expensive, it is nothing more than closer, it is convenient to go to school, I think it is not worth it." ”

Li Yanqing and the four of them discussed, they also want to rent a house outside, and they have to get up early to run every day on the fifth watch, it is said that the county school is not allowed to go out at night, and the fifth watch also belongs to the night, which is too inconvenient for them.

"Have you found Brother Xian's house?"

Zhang Xian nodded, "I've been optimistic for a long time, it's not far from here, but the house is too big, it's a four-acre house, but it costs four dollars, I want to find a few people to share the house, if a few brothers are interested, you might as well consider it." ”

Li Yanqing discussed it with Wang Gui and Tang Huai, and then smiled happily: "Let's go and see the house of the virtuous brother." ”

"Lao Yue, why don't you leave?" Seeing that Yue Fei didn't move, Li Yanqing couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

"Go! I want to see the dorm. Yue Fei wanted to live in the school's free dormitory, although he knew that Li Yanqing and Wang Gui would not let him pay the rent, but he was really embarrassed.

"Don't say stupid things, let me come to the county school every day to help you go over the wall to run, I won't do it!"

Li Yanqing and Wang Gui didn't care what Yue Fei said, they dragged him away alive or dead, and Yue Fei had no choice but to go with them.

.......

Zhang Xian's optimistic house is located in an alley opposite Qingfu Building, and the owner's surname is Liang, a businessman who does cloth business, and the family moved to Anyang County last fall, and the house is empty, and a tooth man is entrusted to help him rent it out.

It is still relatively easy to rent a house in the county school area, but the landlord refuses to rent a single room, and must rent the whole house together, which is a bit difficult, unless it is rented to new students.

"You're lucky, there were a few freshmen who came to see the house just now, and if it weren't for the fact that two of them thought the rent was expensive, they would have settled on the spot."

The tooth man's name is Zeng Xiaoyi, a thin man in his thirties, who can speak well and is quite enthusiastic, he took everyone into the alley.

"Look at this alley, what do you find?"

Wang Gui looked up for a long time and said blankly: "I can't see anything!" ”

"Look at it again, and you'll see the difference."

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoyi is saying that the alley is very wide!" ”

"That's right!"

Zeng Xiaoyi gave a thumbs up and said: "This little brother still has a vision, other alleys are at most five feet wide, but here they are one foot wide, and the carriage can drive directly into the house, which is a sign of a large family, and there are only three households in the alley, which is very quiet, suitable for you to study and study." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, in fact, he also found another feature, that is, there are big trees planted on the inside of the walls on both sides of the alley, which will be very shady in summer, but there will also be troubles, they are all poplars, and there will be a kind of stinging spicy seed falling from the tree.

Zeng Xiaoyi opened the gate and took everyone in, facing a wall of light, covering the situation inside, which is also a characteristic of traditional architecture, entering from the side, in front of him is an ordinary courtyard, this is an outer room, the yard is quite spacious, and the carriage can be parked.

There is a large bluestone well in the corner, and in the middle is a long row of houses, about seven or eight rooms, where the kitchen, the dining room, the utility room, and four subordinate rooms are located, and there is a livestock shed at the very edge.

Passing through the middle doorway, the four of them exclaimed together, the middle courtyard is actually a crescent-shaped courtyard, the ground is paved with green bricks, there are two osmanthus trees more than one zhang high planted in the middle, and there is a rockery, against the wall is a long semicircular corridor, there are three moon gates, extremely delicate and chic.

Zeng Xiaoyi was quite proud, the selling point of this house was here, and every housekeeper wanted to rent it after seeing this courtyard.

He said to everyone: "This house has four acres, and it costs at least 20 yuan a month in the capital, and the small county of Tangyin can't afford to rent it, but it is actually very cost-effective." ”

Wang Gui pointed to the three moon gates and asked, "Why are there three gates?" ”

"Because there are three courtyards, not connected to each other, the two sons of the original owner each live in a courtyard, and the master and the old couple live in the middle courtyard, the layout of the yard is about the same size, and the rooms are facing south, I will show you one, please follow me."

Zeng Xiaoyi took them into the east courtyard, which was a set of courtyards, the yard was very small, and two peach trees were planted.

The house is 'L' shaped, with inner and outer suites on the sides, and three rooms in the middle, a total of five rooms, all of which are seventy percent new blue brick and black tile houses.

Li Yanqing asked, "Are the other two courtyards five rooms?" ”

Zeng Xiaoyi said with a smile: "The middle courtyard is a little bigger, there are two more rooms, and the west courtyard also has one more room, and everything else is the same." ”

Li Yanqing arched his hand, "Thank you, let's discuss!" ”

Zeng Xiaoyi went out with interest, and Li Yanqing asked with a smile, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Gui said with a smile: "I live in the west courtyard with Lao Tang, I have a maid, and Lao Tang also has one, just so I can bring it over." ”

Li Yanqing was thinking about bringing the magpies as well, and Sister-in-law Ju could also come to cook for them, just live in the outhouse, and Uncle Zhong and his wife would take care of the old house for him, anyway, he and his father would occasionally go back to live.

Tang Huai asked Zhang Xiandao: "Can the price be cheaper?" ”

Zhang Xian shook his head, "The landlord refuses to give in, and the rent has to be paid once a year, so be it!" I also have a good friend, so I asked him to live with me, we live in the middle room, and I pay for two dollars. ”

Li Yanqing heard that Zhang Xian was going to pay half of the rent, he and Zhang Xian were not very familiar with each other, so it was not easy to take advantage of others, so he hurriedly said: "How is this embarrassing?" It's better to spread it evenly. ”

Zhang Xian smiled slightly: "It's already my honor to live with Brother Li, I really hope to learn a little martial arts from you, to be honest, I don't want to use the saber as an ornament." ”

Zhang Xian's words made everyone quite favorable, and Wang Gui patted his chest and said, "I'll leave the matter of your martial arts learning to me." ”

Zhang Xian was overjoyed, "It's decided!" ”

Everyone couldn't hinder his enthusiasm, so they had to nod their heads in agreement, and Li Yanqing smiled again: "Then let's say okay, I'll pay for the tooth people!" ”

Zhang Xian agreed, and hurriedly went to the tooth man to go through the formalities, Wang Gui and Tang Huai went to the West Courtyard, Li Yanqing smiled at Yue Fei and said, "Look at which one the fifth brother wants to live in?" ”

Yue Fei knew that Li Yanqing had a little maid, so he pointed to the side room and said with a smile: "This suite is good, two inside and outside, just right for me." ”

Li Yanqing said happily: "The front is mine, a bedroom, a study, and a magpie to live in." ”

In fact, Zhang Xian's family is the first wealthy family in Tangbei Township, an official family, and their family has a house in Tangyin County, but Zhang Xian wants to live with Li Yanqing and them, so he refuses to live in his own house.

Wang Gui and Tang Huai are the same, both of them have houses in Tangyin County, Tang Huai's uncle Tang Zhengzong's home is very large, and Wang Gui's mule and horse shop is also a mansion, but these two people are unwilling to be controlled by their families, and they want to live with their partners, so they refuse to live in their own houses.

After settling on the house, the four of them went to buy some gifts for their families and masters, Li Yanqing went back to the inn to call Li Er and two other students, and a group of teenagers took Wang Gui's big ox cart back to Lushan Town.
