The second uncle Fan Tiege and Mingren have been playing around the capital for the past two days, and Fan Ning's father Fan Tiezhou's little apprentice Aqing also followed, of course, he also came to the capital to play.

There were only three days left before the imperial examination, and Fanning did not have time to take care of them, so they let them go to various places in the capital by themselves.

However, at this time, there was no inn to live in the capital, and even the monasteries and houses were full of scholars from all over the world who came to participate in the imperial examination.

Although Fan Tiege didn't want to disturb Fan Ning and them, he had to live with them, and Su Liang moved to Fan Ning's study and vacated his room for Fan Tiege's father and son and Ah Qing to live in.

The thousand pieces of Huangshi that Akihito brought could only be stored in the warehouse, and there were many such warehouses in the capital to store goods for foreign merchants.

Fan Tiege and the three of them tried their best to go out early and return late, so as not to disturb the three of them to sprint for review at the end.

Cheng's brothers and sisters are basically outside during the day, they are busy looking at the house outside the city during this time, Cheng Ze's great-grandfather originally had a house in Bianliang, after a glass of wine released the military power, Cheng Ze's great-grandfather sold the house in the capital in order to show his attitude.

Now their family regrets it very much, and they want to buy a house in the capital, the house in the city is too expensive, often tens of thousands, they can't afford it, so they can only consider the house outside the city.

These days, their brother and sister have been outside to look at the house, and Su Liang has no time to accompany them.

In the last three days, Li Dashou was like crazy, only sleeping for one or two hours a day, and he had completely opened up and practiced calligraphy desperately.

It is easy to get started with calligraphy, but it is difficult to improve to a certain extent, mainly depending on personal understanding, Li Dashou has poor understanding, although he has been practicing hard day and night in the past few months, but his calligraphy is limited to improvement, and he always feels that there is still a little bit of heat.

He was admitted to the adult imperial examination, and only one person was admitted out of 200 people, which was too stressful, which required that no matter how he was a candidate essay, an argumentative essay, a silent scripture or a poet, he must play a high level before he could be admitted, and any flaw in any subject would be eliminated.

Of course, the first step to be eliminated is calligraphy, in the Copying Academy, there is a special person responsible for copying the scroll, poor calligraphy or too many changes to the scroll, will be brought out, by the examiner to judge whether the calligraphy and the volume is qualified.

Generally speaking, as long as the papers that are taken out in the Copying Academy, they will basically be sentenced to death, and it is impossible for the examiner to look at every paper of 100,000 test papers, and eliminate them if they find a flaw.

Li Dashou didn't want his papers to be taken out in the Copying Academy.

In the room, Su Liang wailed while reciting "Song Xingtong": "Fan Ning, I am already familiar with "Song Xingtong", why do you still memorize it, I want to look at something else in the next two days, otherwise I will be uncertain!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, give me a back, you must memorize "Song Criminal Rule" for me!"

Fan Ning didn't give him a chance to appeal, and threw a thick copy of "The Complete Trial of County Officials" in front of him, and said viciously: "I will start reading this book again tonight, and I will be familiar with every case." ”

The two lived together, and Fan Ning found out that Su Liang did not strictly endorse according to his own requirements, he spent most of his time falling in love with Cheng Yuanyuan, and reciting "Song Xingtong" was completely to deal with himself.

Fan Ning was really annoyed, there were only three days left, he didn't allow Su Liang to meet Cheng Yuanyuan again, he had to memorize "Song Criminal Unity", and he had to familiarize himself with "The Complete Trial of County Officials".

However, compared to Li Dashou, Su Liang behaved a little better, at least he memorized it, Li Dashou didn't look at these two books at all, and piled up dust on the side.

It really disappointed Fan Ning, and now it was too late for Li Dashou to read these two books, so Fan Ning simply stopped caring about him, and concentrated on making up for Su Liang's missing parts in three days.

"Fanning, how do you know that Countermeasure Wenzhen will take the county magistrate's case?" Su Liang asked unconvinced.

"I asked you to endorse it, and you gave me an honest back, how can there be so much nonsense, do you think I want to take care of you? If it weren't for the fear that I wouldn't be able to explain it to your parents, I wouldn't bother to care about you. ”

"But you kid can really guess the questions, and you guessed the test questions, I'll listen to you this time, if you don't take the law, you don't want to let me in the future-"

"Shut up, endorse!"

Fan Ning shouted angrily, Su Liang muttered a few words, so he had to put away his thoughts and start to recite with full attention.

Fan Ning didn't let him memorize them all, there were more than a dozen copies of "Song Xingtong", how could it be possible to memorize them all, Fan Ning narrowed the scope for him again, and only memorized hundreds of detailed rules about the contract.

Fan Ning himself is also reading "The Complete Trial of County Officials", and he has selected more than a dozen related cases from it, and he memorizes it well.

When it was almost noon, Fanning put down the book, came to the next window, and heard Su Liang's humming and chirping endorsement in the room.

He asked outside the window: "Xiao Su, what should I do with the molds and copper coins that were found to be privately minted?" What to do with the meat of cattle and horses that have been killed? ”

Su Liang replied casually: "The mold and copper coins must not be used anymore, they will be destroyed, and the meat of cattle and horses killed by private killing shall not be eaten and destroyed." ”

Fanning nodded with satisfaction, "You continue to carry it, I'll go buy lunch!" ”

．．．．．．．．

The Cheng brothers and sisters returned to their residence at dusk, and Cheng Ze was in a very good mood and insisted on inviting Su Liang and Fan Ning to have a glass of wine.

In the Yangzhou restaurant in front of the old Cao Wazi gate, the four of them found a window seat on the second floor and sat down.

Cheng Ze ordered more than a dozen dishes, and ordered a pot of good wine, he wanted to pour wine for everyone, Su Liang grabbed the wine jug and poured wine for everyone, he smiled at Cheng Yuanyuan and said, "You drink less!" ”

Cheng Yuanyuan pursed his lips and smiled, and the small hand that was originally covering the wine glass moved away, allowing Su Liang to pour himself a glass.

"Fanning, you only have half a cup, I'll fill it for you!" Cheng Ze poured a full glass of wine into Fanning's cup with a smile on his face

Since the last brothel incident, Fanning has never been able to let go of Cheng Ze.

It's not that Cheng Ze is visiting the brothel itself, Fanning is not disgusted with this, but he doesn't like Cheng Ze as a person, and after dating for a long time, he gradually found that Cheng Ze's character is not very good.

Cheng Ze is a boastful, liar, greedy for money and lustful, he is still young, so he has these bad problems, and as he gets older, these problems will become more serious.

Fanning has always been a person who loves and hates, and he generally doesn't make friends with people he doesn't like.

However, for Su Liang's sake, he still tried his best to tolerate Cheng Ze, at least on the surface, he was okay.

Fan Ning smiled faintly: "There seems to be a happy event today, could it be that there is a house you like?" ”

"That's right, to be precise, it's a deal!" Cheng Ze said with a smile.

When Su Liang heard that they had bought a house, he immediately asked curiously, "Where did you buy a house?" ”

Cheng Ze couldn't wait for them to ask more, so that he could boast about it, and he said triumphantly: "Buy near Hongqiao, five acres of house, two thousand yuan, what is the price?" ”

Su Liang shook his head, "I don't know about house prices, and I don't know if the price is expensive or cheap." ”

"Of course it's cheap!"

Cheng Ze's eyes widened and said: "Our five-acre house in Yangzhou City costs two thousand yuan, this is the capital, although it is outside the city, but this is already very cheap, if it is a shop and a house along the street, it is four or five thousand." ”

"The price is ok!"

Fan Ning picked up the wine glass and smiled slightly: "In the outer city, a five-acre house is 10,000 yuan, and the inner city is near the Great Xiangguo Temple, and a five-acre house is 20,000 yuan." ”

Fan Ning is still relatively clear about the housing prices of the Song Dynasty, it is still the era of Song Renzong, the housing prices have just risen, and the more backward the housing prices are, the more expensive the house prices are, and in the era of Song Huizong, the five acres of houses in the outer city are worth 50,000 yuan, the five acres of houses in the inner city are worth 100,000 yuan, and the ten acres of mansions are worth 300,000 yuan.

However, the housing prices outside the city have not risen sharply, and Cheng Ze is now buying a house of 2,000 guan and five acres, which is worth up to 5,000 guan in the era of Song Huizong, after all, there is a lot of land outside the city, unlike every inch of land in the city.

Cheng Ze pretended to sigh and said: "Our family originally went out of the capital, and returning to the capital is the dream of our generations, if this dream is finally realized, we can also comfort our ancestors." ”

Fan Ning heard him be hypocritical, and couldn't help but pout secretly, if it was really to realize the long-cherished wish of his ancestors, he should buy a house in the city, which dignitary lived in a house outside the city?

The gates were closed after dark, and it was not convenient to have a drink in the city at night.

Although he despised it, Fanning didn't say much, just smiled and drank the wine in his glass.

At this time, someone suddenly said next to him: "Amitayus longevity, the donor is so good!" ”
