Chapter 271: First Arrival in the Capital
This time to the north, the wind and the sun are beautiful, when taking the boat, there is no day to be delayed, the two of them set off on August 19, and arrived in Tongzhou on the 10th day of September, so fast that Li Zijian sighed: "Last time from Jining to Runing, I also used 20 days." ”
Fu Zhenyu also sighed: "I knew that it would be so smooth, and I would stay at home for a few more days." ”
That's what I said.
The boat ride from the canal is fast and steady, but the weather always has to cooperate. In windy and rainy weather, it is impossible to sail. After October, Li Zijian will enter Hanlin to officially "go to work", and he can only hurry up early and not late.
Li Zijian didn't think so, because he said: "It's good to arrive a few days early, just in time to take advantage of your birthday to feast relatives and friends." ”
Fu Zhenyu's head was big when he heard it.
The relationship network of the Li family, she hasn't figured it out yet, Li Zijian smiled: "Isn't there still Mother Su?" ”
Since then, Aunt Su has changed her name to Mother Su. She was originally the maidservant of the Li family, and then worked as a kitchen housekeeper for ten years. Because of her excellent skills, on the day of the Li family's accident, she went to help cook for Li's mother's friend, the eldest daughter-in-law of Liangdu Yushi, and survived, and was later taken to Runing Mansion by Li Zijian.
The housekeeper Li Quan has not yet returned to Beijing, and the current manager of the Li Mansion in Beijing is an old steward left by the patriarch. Su's mother was afraid that he was not fine and couldn't take care of rest, so she took Taoli and two small servants overnight, and rode a horse at night, and arrived outside Chaoyang Gate before dawn. And when the gates of the city were opened, they went into the city and went home to pack up their things. Fu Zhenyu and Li Zijian, but they had a good night's sleep, and they set off at dawn, and when they got home, the hot soup and rice had been prepared, which was extremely comfortable.
After eating the hot meal, Fu Zhenyu sighed: "It's not yet October, it's so cold." ”
She had also been to Beijing in her previous life, how could the winter in September be so cold? Oh no, forgot, it used to be the Gregorian calendar, and now it's the lunar year. In the middle of September, which is equivalent to the end of October in the future, it is time for cold.
Li Zijian grew up in the capital since he was a child, and he was used to the coldness of the capital, so he instructed Su's mother: "Let's start the kang." ”
Everyone else started the kang in October, and they didn't miss this charcoal fire, and it wasn't a big deal to be half a month in advance.
Fu Zhenyu stopped Su's mother, because he said, "I always have to get used to it." ”
As the two of them were talking, there were several posts outside.
There is no need to run to tell each other, people who are extremely familiar with each other send people to guard Li's house every day, and when Li Zijian and his wife arrived, they handed over the post, but not to visit, but to invite the little couple to be guests. After Li Zijian and Fu Zhenyu discussed, they gave a reply. Twelve went to the Liang family, thirteen towns and the Yuanhou Mansion, followed by Wang Ge Lao and Qi Ge Lao. Wang Ge is the chief examiner of this subject, the boss of Li Zijian's camp, and Qi Ge is the boss of the Lu officials.
Li Zijian said: "Prepare for the sixteenth and seventeenth, and celebrate your birthday on the eighteenth." ”
Fu Zhenyu disagreed: "I have a good birthday, what do you want others to mix?" It's still a guest on the 17th, and you just give me a birthday. ”
Li Zijian bowed his head and promised with a smile: "I will definitely obey that day." ”
The smile was extremely ambiguous.
Fu Zhenyu was so frightened that his body trembled. She once thought that the rare intimacy before marriage was the embodiment of Li Zijian's domineering...... After knowing that I got married, I realized that it was just the tip of the iceberg. In sexual affairs, his senior brother is fierce and cruel, and the more he cries, the stronger his interest becomes.
What the?
Enjoy? Fu Zhenyu also tried! There was only one time when I let go completely and let Li Zijian fiddle with it, but Li Zijian got interesting, and I couldn't wait for her to do this night and night, and she was full of patience every time. When asked where he got those methods, the shameless fellow said proudly, "I've read five fire avoidance diagrams!" ”
Less than two months after getting married, the small days were added to the mother's house, and they lived for less than ten days, and the rest of the time was on the boat in the inn, and the husband and wife were not idle for one night.
Li Zijian saw Fu Zhenyu's face showing vegetables, thought about it, and said very considerately: "I'm going out tomorrow, let's rest early tonight." ”
Rest early and finish early.
Fu Zhenyu said: "I want to see the shopkeeper Tong first." ”
Looking at his wife's figure that couldn't be covered by cotton clothes, Li Zijian took matters into his own hands, turned over the wide cloak and came out, covering Fu Zhenyu's body, and the husband and wife went to see the shopkeeper Tong together.
Seeing Li Zijian, Shopkeeper Tong was surprised for a moment, and then his complexion returned to normal.
When the owner was not his wife, he was already watching very closely. At this time, if you marry someone, you will naturally have to be tighter. is also a man, he understands Li Zijian better. After understanding, it is much easier to respect, and when talking to Fu Zhenyu, his eyes are like a shy girl's house, which makes Li Zijian very satisfied.
The shopkeeper Tong said: "Mr. Wan helped, and found three shops on Dengshikou Street, and the place is very good. Although it is only the size of the first floor of the sky, when we first arrived, the stall was too big, but it was not suitable, which was excellent. There is another one, just such a shop, the rent will be 3,000 taels a year. ”
Li Zijian is much more familiar with the capital than Fu Zhenyu, afraid that she doesn't know, and after the shopkeeper Tong finished speaking, he said: "The capital is not as good as Runing, the location is good, I am afraid that Mr. Wan's face has made it so cheap." If you have a tight hand, I will take out five thousand taels. ”
There are men to rely on, and it would be a fool not to rely on.
Fu Zhenyu responded happily, but turned around and asked the shopkeeper Tong: "Do they sell that place?" ”
"Not for sale."
Unless something happens, who sells the shop?
Fu Zhenyu asked again: "How much silver does it cost to buy a shop of the same size?" ”
The shopkeeper Tong spit out two words stiffly: "Over 10,000." ”
Fu Zhenyu thought about a cup of tea and made a decision: "You go and look for it again, and strive to buy a shop." If it is silver, in my dowry, the silver at the bottom of the box is two thousand taels of silver, and the senior brother will give five thousand here, and I will go to ten thousand homes in a few days, and then lend you three or five thousand. ”
Li Zijian frowned and said, "In this way, don't you have no money on hand again?" ”
Fu Zhenyu said very shamefully: "I have a husband, why do I need silver?" ”
Not really.
There were no big items in her dowry, and the household items purchased by Runing Mansion cost less than a thousand taels. The bulk of this thousand taels is still clothes and fabrics, and I brought them all over when I entered Beijing this time. Li Ting sent an embroidery girl to her, that is, she has to cut some clothes recently, and she can save a little.
Among the dowries that Mrs. Guo gave her, the largest was the field property. The fields near the capital are not easy to buy, and they are not fertile. Mrs. Guo sent people in Baoding Mansion to buy her 500 acres of dry land and 100 acres of mountains and forests, and said that the grain for the autumn harvest would belong to Fu Zhenyu.
But when she said this, Li Zijian was very happy.
In Li Zijian's view, the younger sister is independent and is a person whose parents and brothers do not rely much on her. After marrying himself, the original things that he did were asked to do by himself very justifiably - this made Li Zijian feel that he was different.
After Fu Zhenyu discovered his "little hobby", why didn't he use it?
Nowadays, there is no such thing as bank loans, and the interest rate of the bank is extremely high, so it is not necessary to borrow money to buy a shop. If you buy it with cash, then it is suitable. Shopkeeper Tong estimated it in his heart, and immediately said goodbye, and went to work without mentioning it.
When the two of them returned to the bedroom, the hot kang had already burned, Fu Zhenyu was overjoyed, and said in his mouth: "Actually, it's not necessary." ”
At night, when Li Zijian tossed her between the beds, he looked at the lovely person who was dressed and asked proudly: "Do you still say it's not necessary?" ”
Fu Zhenyu came back to it, and he didn't even have the strength to scold people.
