September is lukewarm, tepid, and is the most comfortable time of the year.

The township examination was changed from August to September, so that students could suffer a lot less.

The township test lasts for nine days, and three consecutive exams are held every three days. Because the exam starts on the seventh day of September, the college has a holiday on the first day of September for candidates to go home to prepare for the exam.

Fu Jingene packed up his things and was about to go back, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Guan Liqin greet him.

Guan Li said flatteringly: "Brother Fu, can I go to your house to borrow it these days?" ”

Fu Jingene didn't speak, just looked at him.

This look made him very stressed! However, Guan Liqin still stubbornly said: "My niece is so good at crying, I was noisy by him last time I went home." My sister-in-law took my niece back to her parents' house to live during the child test, but this time my sister-in-law and brother are also going to end up and can't go back to their parents' house to live. ”

It happened that Zhang Fu came over, heard this and said: "She cries endlessly, you won't teach her a lesson?" ”

Children can't get used to it, they must be taught a hard lesson.

Guan Liqin despised him and said, "What do you know? She's only been eleven months, and she still doesn't know how to teach a lesson. ”

If she is old, she can still teach a lesson, but she is only eleven months old, and she doesn't understand such a big scolding!

Guan Liqin's father served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his official position was not low. However, his father is an honest official, and he has no other income except for yamen subsidies such as Yulu and ice charcoal. Therefore, their family is not well-off.

However, it is more than enough to be above than below, their house is their own, and the property of their hometown also has an annual income of 1,000 taels. This is much better than many officials who rent houses, but as Guan Liqin's eldest brother and second brother are married and have children, the two houses in their family are a little crowded.

However, the houses in the imperial city of the capital are getting more and more expensive, and they can't afford to buy them with good locations. His second brother and sister-in-law can't look down on the average location, so the whole family will still squeeze together.

Guan Liqin saw that Fu Jingene didn't speak, and said with some discouragement: "Brother Fu, if it's inconvenient for you, forget it." ”

The main thing is that he knows that Fu Jingene is single, has no elders and no female dependents, so it is convenient to go to him to borrow it. In addition, if you encounter a question that you don't know, you can also ask him for advice.

Fu Jingene said: "It's not inconvenient, but the humble house is relatively simple, don't dislike it." ”

Guan Liqin smiled: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." ”

Zhang Fu also said when he heard this: "Brother Fu, do you have any room left?" If I have any, can I also go to your place for a few days? ”

Guan Liqin was angry: "My house is a small house and a little noisy, so I went to borrow it from Brother Fu." Your house is so big and you don't have nephews and nieces to quarrel with you, what are you making a fuss about. ”

Zhang Fu didn't pay attention to him, only looked at Fu Jingene.

His home is spacious and well-served, but his mother is more nervous than him every time he takes an exam. The last time he tried the child, his mother was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night, and then told him to relax.

It's strange that he can relax in this situation. So he wants to live in the Fu family, so that he won't be affected by his mother.

Fu Jingene hummed and said, "The room has, but the room is not cleaned and the bedding is not enough." Come and stay and come again tomorrow. ”

Li Nan was also quite moved after knowing this: "Brother Fu, can you add me one?" If I don't have enough rooms, I can live in a room with Liqin. ”

Guan Liqin said with a disgusted face: "I don't live with you all the time, I snore and quarrel at night." ”

Zhang Fu despised him and said: "Li Nan, I don't know why you want to make friends with him." ”

Li Nan said with a smile: "Liqin is joking, not really snoring.

Fu Jingene waited for the two of them to finish pinching before saying, "It's okay, there is enough room at home." ”

With a sigh, Guan Liqin couldn't help asking, "Why do you have so many rooms in that house?" ”

Zhang Fu glanced at him, and his eyes seemed to say why are you such an idiot: "You still need to ask, of course the house where Brother Fu lives is very big." ”

Ah, Guan Liqin asked, "Your house, won't it be two-in, right?" ”

"Three-in."

Guan Liqin opened his mouth and said with some envy: "I remember that your house is in Goldfish Alley, and the three entrances cost thousands of taels of silver." Brother Fu, I didn't expect you to be so rich. ”

"Not mine."

Guan Liqin asked suspiciously: "What are you doing renting a three-entry house by yourself?" Or was he cheated? ”

If Fu Jingene is a son-in-law who spends a lot of money, it is nothing to rent a three-entry house to live in and play. But on weekdays, although Fu Jingene did not pick and search, he was relatively frugal in spending money.

"No money."

Not to mention Guan Liqin, Zhang Fu and Li Nan couldn't help but look sideways.

Guan Liqin pinched his chin: "Is there such a good thing in the world?" Why can't I touch it? ”

Zhang Fu despised him more and more: "If you say that you are a fool and don't admit it, this must have been lent to him by an acquaintance." ”

Guan Liqin glanced at him angrily and said: "You are really a young master who doesn't know mundane things, who would be so generous to borrow a three-entry mansion for someone to live in?" And the location is good, and the annual rent is three or four hundred taels of silver when rented out.

Fu Jingene didn't say that the house was comfortable, but said: "That house is a little weird, the previous buyers lived in it either failed in business or their wives were separated. After a long time, it was said that the house would affect the fortune, and no one dared to buy or rent. ”

Guan Liqin almost choked up, and stammered: "You dare to live in this house?" ”

He can't talk now, he doesn't know if it's too late.

Zhang Fu looked at him with a disdainful expression and said: "If you don't want to live, no one will force it, just without you, it will be cleaner." ”

Guan Liqin almost jumped up: "Who said I couldn't live." Confucius said that the son is silent, and the power is confused, how can we scholars believe this. ”

In fact, he has some scruples, but if he loses, he will not lose the battle, and he must not show it in front of Zhang Fu.

Li Nan didn't believe this either: "It's just a rumor." If this house really affects the fortune, how can Brother Fu be at the head of the case when he tries to go. ”

Guan Liqin thinks about it.

When he got home, Fu Jingene asked someone to clean a few side rooms, and then sent someone to buy bedding.

Fu Jingene would meet after lunch every day, usually for a quarter of an hour. On this day, I also had lunch and went to the garden to see a few vegetable patches, and when I came back, I leaned back on a chair to rest.

When he opened his eyes, Duan Yan said to him, "Young master, the Gu family sent a mother-in-law over." That woman claimed to be a cook, and came to take care of your daily life and diet, young master. ”

Seeing that the person who came was Aunt Xiang, Fu Jingene asked, "Who asked you to come over, is it a girl?" ”

Aunt Xiang shook her head and said, "No, it was the old lady who asked me to come over and the girl didn't know." ”

"Young master, young master, you will be out in a few days, the old lady wants you to eat and drink well and nourish your spirit to take the exam."

Fu Jingene asked, "You are here, who will serve the old lady and the girl for their three meals?" ”

Aunt Xiang said: "Uncle, don't worry, the work on the stove at home has been handled by my apprentice for the past few days. ”

Since it has been arranged, Fu Jingene will not give the old lady a thought: "The kitchen will be handed over to you." ”
