The day they arrived in the capital was the third day of the second lunar month, and they spent a whole month on the road.

Along the way, in addition to eating and resting, they basically spent time on the road, and even a few times they even rushed to the night road.

They were also tired, and after renting a house, they went to rest without food.

By the time they woke up, it was already night, but fortunately Shumo and they had prepared a meal, otherwise they didn't know how long they would have to be hungry before they could eat.

After eating, the group went back to rest, and if there was anything to do, we would wait until tomorrow.

The next day, when they got up, they began to take a serious look at the courtyard.

As said yesterday, the yard is not big, four rooms, there is a five-meter square yard, and a few osmanthus trees and some unknown flowers are planted in the yard.

There is also a round stone table in the courtyard, and there are four round stone benches.

Let's talk about the rooms, three of the four rooms can accommodate people, one is the kitchen, and the rest are gone.

So far, three of their wagons have been parked in the yard, which is so small that there is no place to keep horses and store carriages.

They had to find a way to put the horses and wagons in place now, and they couldn't keep them in the yard all the time.

Not to mention the place, although it is spring now, the spring in the capital is still very cold, and it is not good to keep the horse in the yard and get sick from the cold.

It's just that they are also coming to the capital for the first time, and they don't know what to do.

Now the only way Li Bokang can think of is to either rent a larger yard, or he can only rent another place to raise horses.

It's just that neither of these methods seems to work, they came to the capital very late, and some good places have already been inhabited by others, and it is not so easy to find another place.

However, there are no absolutes, they just arrived in the capital yesterday, and they didn't ask much to check, but they just heard about it, so they rented here.

Now, there are still five days left before the exam, and it is not impossible that they may be able to find a courtyard or inn again in these few days.

Moreover, he felt that they might have been cheated too, and it would cost five taels of silver a month for such a large yard.

Therefore, they will take a good look at it next, not to mention that they will go by themselves, even if they send the subordinates of the family to go.

For now, they can only settle for a while.

Thinking of this, after some discussion, they each sent their own scholars to inquire about the house.

The house didn't need to be very big, but they had to be able to accommodate the wagons and luggage.

In addition, it is the location of the house, it doesn't matter if it's farther away, but the surroundings are good.

After that, Li Bokang heard Chen Jun say to his guards: "You go to the Chen's house, the servant of the household department, and hand over a letter of worship." ”

After speaking, he handed the prayer note brought by the tower to the people on the side.

After that, the subordinate withdrew with the prayer post, and he should have gone to deliver the prayer post.

After Chen Jun finished speaking, Li Bokang and Zhou Yi looked at him.

The two of them knew that their family had a relationship in the capital, but they didn't expect it to be the household servant.

Chen Jun saw the two of them looking at him, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

It was Zhou Yi who spoke first and said: "I didn't expect that your family's relatives in the capital turned out to be the family of the household servant, come and talk to us." ”

Chen Jun shook his head and smiled when he saw Zhou Yi's appearance, but he still told them about the relationship between his family and the household servant's family.

He said, "Then I'll tell you about it, there's nothing I can't say anyway." ”

"The servant of the ministry is my father's cousin, from the same branch."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized: "So that's the case." ”

Later, when I thought of something, I said, "No, I remember that your mother is also from the capital, why don't you go and visit?" ”

Chen Jun was a little depressed when he heard this, but he still replied: "My uncle and they are not in the capital, and my mother also told me that I don't need to visit the house when I came, so I ......."

They understood that there were some things that the big families couldn't say, so the two of them didn't ask more.

In the end, Li Bokang asked a key question, he said: "Then Brother Chen, will you still live with us in the future?" ”

Zhou Yi also put his eyes on Chen Jun's body when he heard this, waiting for his answer.

Speaking of which, after Li Bokang entered the county school, the relationship between them gradually became better and better.

Plus they've been through so much and they don't want to be separated now.

Chen Jun looked at them and said, "Of course we want to be together, we can also talk about more knowledge before the exam, don't worry." ”

He smiled as well, he understood what they meant.

Li Bokang and Zhou Yi listened to his words, and their hearts were suddenly relaxed, they were reluctant to part at present.

After that, the three of them began to study and discuss their studies again, and they still wanted high school very much, so they had to work hard while they still had time.

At noon, Shumo and the others came back, one to report what they had heard today, and the other to come back to cook and eat.

They hadn't heard much about the house this morning, but fortunately they weren't too anxious.

After lunch, the group went out again, and this time only one guard was left at home.

On this day, in the evening, they still did not hear from him.

The next day, after breakfast, Chen Jun dressed up and went to visit the house of the household servant.

Chen Jun went this time and came back in the evening, and when he came back, he brought them a piece of good news for them.

Yes, they have an empty courtyard in their house, and they can live in it.

When Chen Jun told them, they were still a little surprised, they didn't expect such a result.

They had also thought about it before: After Chen Jun went to visit Chen Shilang's Mansion, Chen Shilang would leave him in Chen's Mansion to live, knowing that the Spring Festival was over.

They said to Chen Jun, "What is this? ”

Chen Jun understood what they meant. He said, "Even today, when I went to visit my uncle's house, my uncle also asked me to stay in their house until the end of the spring season." ”

At this point, he looked at the two of them again, and then continued: "However, I also said that I would live with you, so I politely refused, and then my uncle discussed with my aunt when he found out about the situation, and let us move to his other courtyard." ”

"And they told me a lot, and in the end I couldn't refuse, and we really needed it, so I agreed."

As he spoke, he probably felt a little uncomfortable, and agreed without listening to their opinions.

In the end, he added: "But don't worry, I told him to come back and ask for your opinion, and if you don't agree, we won't live in." ”

After speaking, he looked at the two of them, as if waiting for their decision.
