"Hey, what are you guys doing here?"

Fu Xiaojiu rushed forward with an arrow step.

The person who was carrying her luggage hurriedly said to her, "Ouch, you are Fu Langzhong, right?" The little ones were sent by the princess of Zhenbei, and the princess chose a house for you and Mr. Wan, and we are here to move. ”

"You were sent by the princess?"

Fu Xiaojiu was greatly surprised by the princess's action.

Wan Zhang, Nianzhen, and Shao Jiacheng walked out at this time, and when Fu Xiaojiu saw them, he was busy pulling the person who was carrying the luggage and asked, "May I ask what kind of house the princess helped us find?" ”

The man replied, "The princess will find you a house with two entrances and two exits, very spacious." ”

Fu Xiaojiu said again: "Then can I ask you to help and bring my friend's luggage over, I want them to live with us." ”

The man immediately agreed, "The little one will move your friend's things as soon as he finishes moving your things!" ”

"Xiao Jiu, you are ......"

Nian Zhen was embarrassed.

Fu Xiaojiu said generously: "The courtyard with two entrances and two exits must be very spacious, and we can all live in it." Since the princess has this heart, let's not waste her heart. ”

Several people thanked Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin, and the group came to the house that the princess chose for them.

This house is really a good place, although the environment is elegant, but it is not remote, only two blocks away from the market.

The neighbors in the courtyard are also high-ranking families, and it is quiet even during the day.

In the early stage of the examination, if Fu Xiaojiu went to Yaxing to ask for such a place by himself, I am afraid that the rent for a month would be up to one hundred taels of silver.

Princess Zhenbei was able to help, which really saved Fu Xiaojiu and the others a lot of trouble, but also saved money.

Fu Xiaojiu and the others all lived in the second-floor courtyard, while Uncle Zhao and Shao Jiacheng's servants lived in the first-floor courtyard, even so, the house seemed spacious.

After cleaning up, Wan Lin pulled Fu Xiaojiu to sit down on the edge of the bed, and said gratefully: "The princess really has a heart. Lady, since I married you into the door, I don't know how much I borrowed from you, if it weren't for you, how could I sit in such a house so peacefully? Thank you, lady. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said angrily: "You are here again." How many times have I said, don't always thank me. ”

Wan Lin took Fu Xiaojiu into his arms and continued to sigh: "Lady, I'm not thanking you, I'm actually thanking God." If God hadn't arranged for you to be my lady, I'm afraid my grave grass would be three feet tall at this moment. ”

"Brother Lin."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and it was Wan Zhang's voice.

Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly withdrew from Wan Lin's arms, Wan Lin immediately got up and opened the door, and Fu Xiaojiu also came to the door.

"Brother Jiacheng asked me to call the two of you over to discuss something." Wan Chang said.

The three of them came together to the gazebo in the courtyard, where Shao Jiacheng was standing, and his scholars and servants were standing beside him.

Wan Lin asked, "Brother Jiacheng has something to discuss with us?" ”

Shao Jiacheng bowed his hand to them, "I thank you for taking care of Shao all the way to Beijing, and when I arrived in the capital, Shao lived in such a good house with light, I don't think I can take care of you in vain." I think so, I will be responsible for the three meals a day in the future, my servants can buy and cook, you don't have to care about anything, if the food is not palatable, tell me, you can also tell my family at any time what you want to eat, don't be polite to me. ”

Shao Jiacheng has always been wealthy, and it was expected that he could make such a move.

But taking care of it, Shao Jiacheng also invited them to eat several meals along the way, always buying this and that, Fu Xiaojiu also felt that they took advantage of Shao Jiacheng.

And seeing Shao Jiacheng's gratitude report, Fu Xiaojiu was very pleased.

Without waiting for Fu Xiaojiu to speak, Wan Lin said first: "Brother Jiacheng, I don't approve of your proposal. Although you don't need to pay rent for this house, but in all fairness, we don't pay rent either, so how can you let you contract everyone's food expenses and other expenses alone? I think we should be fair, every family pays money, and we must not let you spend any money, but we don't pull out a dime. ”

Wan Zhang then said: "Yes, yes, we can't take advantage of you so cheekily!" Brother Jiacheng, we know that you have a lot of silver, but no one's money is blown by the wind, so we can't spend money indiscriminately. ”

Shao Jiacheng really wanted to take care of everything, but when he saw that his opinion was opposed by everyone, he no longer insisted on it.

"Well, then, my minions are numerous, and the cost is great, so how about I come and take the lead? Don't argue with me, for I'll take out two hundred taels of silver for the expenses of this period of time, and each of you will have to pay thirty taels of silver. ”

Wan Lin immediately said, "What is the difference between you giving out two hundred taels of silver and you giving out all the silver?" Brother Jiacheng, there are many servants in your family, but you don't need to pay two hundred taels of silver yourself as expenses. Listen to me, if you give sixty taels of silver, each of us will give thirty taels of silver, what do you think? ”

Such an arrangement is reasonable, otherwise Wan Lin and Wan Zhang are still taking advantage of Shao Jiacheng.

Shao Jiacheng finally agreed, "That'...... Well, it's up to Brother Lin. ”

Shao Jiacheng suggested that Fu Xiaojiu should keep their living expenses, but Fu Xiaojiu did not refuse, carefully put away the silver, and specially prepared an account book to record daily expenses.

One hundred and twenty taels of silver is more than enough for so many people to spend less than a month before the exam.

They now have no worries about food and housing, and the three candidates who go to the exam only need to study with peace of mind every day.

The situation in the capital was slightly different from what Fu Xiaojiu imagined, she thought that she would have to do everything herself when she arrived in the capital, but she didn't expect to be in the capital just in time for the king of Zhenbei to return to Beijing, and met a noble person like the Wang family of Zhenbei, and she almost didn't have to worry about anything.

Fu Xiaojiu and the others settled down and were in a happy mood, but some people were very unhappy at the moment.

Lu Changzhi was still angry that Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin were making trouble in Jingzhao Mansion.

After they made such a fuss, Lu Changzhi had to give up the business of Huaxianglou in order to no longer offend the king of Zhenbei, which was a big loss for him.

He put this account on the heads of Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin.

He didn't dare to tell the right minister about this, and he didn't dare to do anything when he tried it, but the right minister was unhappy to see that the king of Zhenbei always maintained a neutral attitude towards the prince, and he might be able to make a fuss about Wan Lin, who had a lot of relationship with the king of Zhenbei, in the future, and make a stumbling block for the king of Zhenbei.

Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin discussed that they should go to the Zhenbei Wang family again to thank them for helping them find such a good house, and she had prepared a special gift for them.

After everyone had dinner together, the three candidates read together in the study room, while Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen read in the room and became female celebrities, so they spent a quiet and comfortable night.

Knowing that Fu Xiaojiu and the others had settled down, the king of Zhenbei and the princess were relieved, and the prince said that he was going to visit Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin.

The king and princess of Zhenbei knew that he actually had no friends in the capital, and most of the sons of those princes and dignitaries were pampered and pampered, and they couldn't play with Shizi, a wild child who grew up in the military camp.

Last month, when the prince was playing with the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, he didn't control the strength of his hand, and broke his wrist and broke someone's wrist.

Last month, the prince competed with a group of sons, but he rode too happily, and rode his favorite horse to show off his riding skills, but he was shocked by other people's horses, and almost threw a boy off the horse.

Anyway, the prince is very disappointed in these sons of the same age, and it is a waste of his life to play with such a group of weak gentlemen.

He knows that Wan Lin is good at learning, instead of playing with those wastes, it is better to listen to Wan Lin talk to him about learning, especially Wan Lin has great insights in the art of war, although it is also on paper, but the prince also likes to talk to him about the art of war.

The matter of the thieves in the Zhenbei Wangfu was not publicized, and the princess knew about it, but she hid it from the prince.

Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin didn't have to worry about the affairs of Zhenbei Wang and his wife, so they closed the door and discussed the matter of thieves in the house.

The princess said angrily: "It's a pity that we didn't find the person who sent the letter to Leng Feng, finding him is the key." ”

King Zhenbei looked at the direction of the door with cold eyes and said: "I shouldn't have been soft on Hule in the first place, I should have led the iron horse to directly step on Hule, and there wouldn't have been so many incidents!" ”

The princess chuckled, "Okay, what's the use of you regretting it?" Let's take a look at what we're looking at. ”

No matter what kind of difficulties he encountered, as long as he could see the smiling face of the princess, King Zhenbei felt that nothing could stump him.

King Zhenbei took the princess's hand, his eyes were resolute, "I have already reported this matter to the sage, and he told me that there is nothing abnormal about the military information from Biansai. But you also know that things in the north are anomalous if they are too calm. It seems that my days in the capital are numbered. ”

The princess said solemnly: "I always looked forward to returning to the capital, but when I came back, I always thought about the bitter cold place. Lord, when you plan it, I will accompany you back at any time. ”

The two have been together for nearly twenty years, but their love has not diminished, and only the two of them know what they have experienced in the past to get to where they are today.

The next morning, Fu Xiaojiu carefully freshened up, and prepared clothes for Wan Lin, and the two of them went to Zhenbei Wangfu to thank him.

Shao Jiacheng also wanted to go and meet the king of Zhenbei in person, but he knew that he was a few catties and a few taels, and he didn't force himself up, so as not to be suspected of clinging to the powerful.

Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu left after breakfast, and when they heard that they were coming, the Zhenbei Wang family was very happy.

Fu Xiaojiu said that today they are here to thank the princess for the mansion provided to you, and after she finished speaking, she asked where the stove was.

The princess asked her puzzled, and asked her what the stove was doing, and she said that at noon she would make an exclusive medicinal food warm pot for them to taste.

Princess Wen couldn't refuse to repay her kindness like this, because she had already learned about Fu Xiaojiu's hot pot shop in her correspondence with Fu Xiaojiu.

The princess happily took Fu Xiaojiu's hand and went to the stove room with her, "I always want to taste what your hot pot tastes like, and I just want to learn from you how to make this hot pot." ”
