Thank you, Brother Zichuan. Zhang Zhiwen hurriedly bowed his hand to Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu returned the salute, "Actually, I was taken care of by Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang along the way, so that I was saved from fatigue and could sit in a comfortable and spacious carriage, otherwise according to my speed, I am afraid that it will take another ten days and half a month to reach the capital." ”

Zhang Zhiwen said: "In the evening, I prepared a banquet for my father and mother, if Brother Zichuan doesn't dislike it, let's come together, there are more people and more lively." ”

Zhang Tiezhu and Li Hongxiang also kept inviting them warmly, and Lin Xiu had to say: "Then it's disrespectful." ”

Zhang Zhiwen asked Lin Xiu again if he had a place to stay here, and Lin Xiu shook his head: "Although I am going to Beijing for the second time this time, I don't have no place to live, and I am going to find an inn to stay." ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard Zhang Zhiwen say: "My family happens to have a house in Beijing, and there are many wings at home, if Brother Zichuan doesn't dislike it, it's better to live in my house temporarily." Now that the trial is imminent, all the inns in Beijing are full, but I am afraid that if I go to find a place to live now, I will not be able to find it for a while and a half. ”

Lin Xiu politely refused, "Brother Zhiwen's kindness, I understand it." After all, there is a difference between men and women, and if I live in your house, I will inevitably cause dislike, which will affect the reputation of Sister Jinse and Sister Yuxiu. Brother Zhiwen don't worry, I have already agreed with the shopkeeper of an inn to leave me a first-class wing. ”

With Lin Xiu's current identity, there are many people from the noble clan in Beijing who want to win him over, and want to give him gifts, money, and houses to seek refuge.

Or if you want to marry your daughter to Lin Xiu, after all, he is very promising in this test, and he can get the official position of the Holy Lord.

For these, Lin Xiu had already rejected them one by one, and he chose to live in the inn.

Zhang Zhiwen still has two girls in the house who have not left the cabinet, and it is impossible for Lin Xiu to live in them.

So Zhang Zhiwen didn't say anything more.

After chatting for a while, the two separated, Zhang Zhiwen and his party returned to the residence in Beijing, while Lin Xiu took his scholar to find the inn.

Before Zhang Zhiwen in Beijing to study, in order to let Zhang Zhiwen study at ease, life convenient, earlier in Beijing bought a house, the location is not excellent, but it is also a superior location, in the south of Dongque Street, is a four-into courtyard, the yard has independent front and back gardens, although not decorated much magnificent, but there is an elegant and simple beauty of the Jiangnan water town.

The population in the courtyard is not large, because there is only one Zhang Zhiwen, so in addition to Ye Shun, who is with him, there are only two mothers-in-law who cook and wash, and two housekeepers who clean.

Now that Zhang Tiezhu and his party have moved in, the population has increased all of a sudden.

After nearly a month of rushing all the way, everyone was very tired, and they went back to their rooms to freshen up and rest when they saw that it was still early.

In the evening, the group went to the largest restaurant in Beijing, Zuixiang Building, for dinner, at this time Lin Xiu also came, and when they were separated, they agreed on the time and place, so as soon as they arrived, Lin Xiu came on time, and there was no delay at all.

When Zhang Zhiwen saw that Lin Xiu and his scholar were carrying burdens, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Brother Zichuan, haven't you found a place to stay?" ”

Lin Xiu's face was slightly embarrassed, and he shook his head, "No." ”
