The days have been spent in Gu Xinyin's various stories, and it is finally time to get off the boat, this is a capital city near the capital, the capital is far away from the Luojiang River, there is no direct dock, so you can only get off the boat here.

Next, you need to hire a carriage to continue your journey, and you will need to bump around the carriage for about four or five days to reach the capital.

Everyone was suffocated on the boat for half a month, and Gu Xinyin decided to rest here for a night, and also hired a soft carriage to buy some things that needed to be eaten on the road.

Ding Yao and Chen Xunniang took their two children to walk around Fucheng, and everyone slept comfortably that night, and set off after breakfast the next day.

They took the official road, which was not too far from the capital, and they did not encounter any bloody robberies, but they were very boring.

Six days later, the group finally arrived in the capital.

After entering the city gate, the group first found an inn to live in, and after resting, after breakfast the next day, Gu Xinyin asked the shopkeeper about the situation of Kaiyuan Academy.

The shopkeeper got the reward, so he was naturally happy to tell him what he knew.

To put it bluntly, Kaiyuan Academy is the academy with the most complete collection of books and the best faculty in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the dean is a famous Confucian, although there are not many disciples accepted, but the achievements of each disciple are very good.

One of the most popular among his old students is the current saint, and the most inconspicuous one is the youngest disciple, that is, Qi Rong's father Qi Yunzhong, but he is also a Dali Temple and a five-grade official.

Gu Xinyin raised her eyebrows, it was really a thick and fat golden thigh!

Gu Xinyin asked Xiao Er where the fairest business was, and she told Chen Xunniang to go out to find a house.

The children were very tired after the bumps along the way, even if they heard Gu Xinyin say that they were going out to find a house, they didn't follow out noisily, and rested obediently in the inn.

It is similar to the previous experience of looking for a house, the difference is that the price of the capital is much higher than the price of the capital where they were before, and the house that could be rented for a year for a dozen taels of silver before was more than thirty taels here.

Gu Xinyin chose a slightly larger courtyard, with five main rooms and two slightly larger side rooms, as for the kitchen and Gong room, there are separate small rooms, which are not counted in the formal house.

When they arrived in Beijing, in case Qi Rong and the Twelve Princesses came to the house as guests, it would not be bad to even have a temporary place to rest.

Well, it's also possible that the two of them won't stay at home much at all, but be prepared.

This house is not far from Kaiyuan Academy, and the residents who live nearby are all students, so the price is also very "gratifying", Gu Xinyin didn't talk much even if she was bargaining, but it made the Chinese who received her secretly roll her eyes several times.

Gu Xinyin didn't see it, cheaper is some, she just understands the happiness of bargaining.

After signing the lease contract, after Gu Xinyin took the key and left, he could still hear the complaints of the Chinese and his friends from a distance: "This scholar looks like a dog, but he is too picky, and the price is so low, I won't give it to him, but it's on the price line given by the shopkeeper, give it, I haven't caught any oil and water." ”

Gu Xinyin: "......" blame me, you bid, still don't want to make a counteroffer?"

Gu Xinyin didn't know about the one who rented a house when he was in Fucheng, otherwise he would definitely feel that history is always strikingly similar.

Back to the topic, after Gu Xinyin rented the house, she took the family to prepare to move, Chen Xinniang and the children pushed open the door, and when they saw such a big yard, they all exclaimed.

"Wow, Daddy, Daddy, the yard (looks) is so big!" I like to call my dad continuously, and the one who speaks is not very clear is Xiaoya.

Bao'er also nodded with bright eyes, "Yes, Dad, there are a lot of houses!" ”

Chen Xunniang said distressedly: "This has to cost a lot of silver!" ”

When it came to silver, Gu Xinyin was also distressed, but she couldn't be too stingy, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the silver is still there," she saw that Chen Suniang was still frowning, so she proposed: "Suniang, your craftsmanship is so good, when it stabilizes, you can open an embroidery shop to subsidize the family." ”

Chen Xunniang said uncertainly: "Big ......" She looked at Ding Yao and the children, and hurriedly changed her words: "Husband, there are so many good embroidery girls in Beijing, can I do it?" And husband, won't you think I'm showing up? ”

Gu Xinyin nodded and encouraged: "Your craftsmanship is really good, don't forget, I was able to continue the scientific examination at the beginning, but it was all your craftsmanship, even if the embroidery methods and patterns in Beijing are different, you will learn from Su Niang, and your husband will support you." ”

What the other party said was that her husband supported her, and Chen Xunniang understood the meaning, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Okay." ”

The owner of the yard wanted to rent it at a good price, so naturally the yard was very clean, and they cleaned it up again, and after putting everything in place, Ding Yao was ready to go shopping for vegetables and cooking.

Gu Xinyin asked her to wait first, and went to the newly arranged study to write a letter to Qi Rong, telling him that their family had come to the capital.

As for the twelfth princess, Gu Xinyin thought about it and didn't write a letter, after all, she was a princess, Gu Xinyin was now holding the identity of Zhang Jiang, what was the matter with writing a letter to a little girl?

Especially since the other party is still a princess, she has a bad reputation.

After the letter was folded, Gu Xinyin first asked Ding Yao to go to Qi's house to send it to Qi Rong.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qi Rong brought someone to the door, and brought a bunch of gifts and some toys that children like.

Well, there's a little Trojan in it.

When the two children saw Qi Rong, they threw themselves directly into Qi Rong's arms as if they were seeing a lost relative, and after that, Qi Rong began to teach the two children how to play with those toys.

Xiaoya stared at the little wooden horse, rode it and shook it, and the laughing millet teeth leaked out.

Gu Xinyin accompanied him, while asking about Qi Rong's current situation, Qi Rong replied one by one, and at the end he said: "Uncle Zhang, don't you know, my little aunt is not honest in the family temple, and she also asked someone to hand me a letter, saying that she was confused for a while, and asked me to help intercede." ”

Gu Xinyin looked over, "What?" You're so stupid to help intercede. ”

Qi Rong shook his head, "Of course not, I'm not stupid, I handed over the letter to my father, and my father gave it to my grandfather." ”

Gu Xinyin smiled and waited for his next step.

Seeing that Gu Xinyin didn't continue to ask, Qi Rong sighed and said, "Uncle Zhang, why didn't you ask?" Don't you want to know what happened? ”

Gu Xinyin smiled and cooperated: "What happened later? ”

Qi Rong also laughed, "Later, Aunt Zhao, well, that is, the little aunt's mother-in-law, was also sent to be with the little aunt, and my grandfather said that since she refused to be honest and grounded at home, she should accompany her daughter!" ”

Gu Xinyin was also happy for him, "It's good, this will at least dispel some people's thoughts of doing something to you." ”

Qi Rong nodded, "That's right, I don't know how pure I am lately," Speaking of this, he lowered his little face again, "Hey, no one is talking in my ear about something that is not there, but my father doesn't know what is going on recently, it's very strange." ”

Gu Xinyin was curious, "What kind of strange method?" ”

Qi Rong scratched his head, "My father will come to study with me every day after going to the office, and he will also teach me patiently, I am very happy to see my father more, but two days ago my father actually said that he would accompany me to play games!" Uncle Zhang, do you think my father is strange? ”

Gu Xinyin didn't care, "What's this, I often accompany Bao'er and Xiaoya to play games, why can't your father accompany you to play games?" ”

When Bao'er and Xiaoya heard Gu Xinyin mention them, they all looked over here, and they both showed sweet smiles and called "Dad" in unison.

Gu Xinyin reached out and patted their foreheads one by one, and said with a smile: "Be good, keep playing." ”

The two of them played their own games.

Qi Rong shook his head, "It's different, Uncle Zhang, you have an easy-going temper, and you are used to playing games with Bao'er and Xiaoya, but my family is different, my father is an old-fashioned man, he is very strict with me, and he has never played games with me. ”

Gu Xinyin thought for a while and guessed: "Maybe you disappeared this time, your father was guilty and scared, and felt that he had too little time with you before, so he wanted to make up for the games he didn't do with you before?" ”

Qi Rong looked stunned, and said again: "Is that so?" But my father still follows the example of you hugging Xiaoya, playing high with me. ”

Gu Xinyin looked at Qi Rong's longer height, and his little face that was rounder than before, and made up a look of Qi Yunzhong lifting it high to the point that he couldn't help it, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but be curious: "Then did your father lift you up?" ”

I don't know what Qi Rong suddenly thought, he suddenly laughed with a snort, shook his head and said, "No, my father just picked me up, he stopped, my father can't do it." ”

Gu Xinyin also laughed, and when she saw the little boy's slightly resentful little eyes, she hurriedly couldn't help but smile: "Okay, it's okay, your father was too scared of your disappearance before, so he will have a psychological shadow, and he wants to do everything to make up for it, you don't have to worry, you, just enjoy your father's love." ”

The corners of the little boy's mouth unconsciously rose again, and it was obvious that he was very useful to Qi Yunzhong's clumsy fatherly performance.

"By the way, Uncle Zhang, I asked someone to hand over the news of your coming to the capital to the Twelve Princesses, presumably the Twelve Princesses will go out to see you tomorrow." 、

Gu Xinyin: "Can the twelve princesses go out casually?" ”

Qi Rong: "It's not convenient to go out casually, but Uncle Zhang, you are here, as long as the twelve princesses tell the queen well, it should be fine." ”

Gu Xinyin nodded, indicating that she understood.

The next day, the twelfth princess really came, but this time she appeared in the Zhang family as a woman dressed as a man, followed by two guards, a man and a woman who looked like Lian Jiazi. , and a grandmother.

Qi Rong also came, and the twelve princesses and their entourage should have arrived at Qi's house first, and then arrived here again.

When the twelfth princess saw Gu Xinyin, she subconsciously wanted to pounce, but as soon as the grandmother coughed, the twelfth princess stopped walking, "Zhang ...... Sir, you have finally entered Beijing. "I can't even call Uncle Zhang, which makes the twelve princesses very depressed.

Gu Xinyin smiled and led the person into the study, "Twelve sons, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" ”

The twelfth princess also laughed, but when she spoke, her voice was a little muffled: "Fortunately, you have to learn the rules, and you can't leave people around you, and you can't even go out to see your husband's family." As she spoke, she looked at her mother with resentment.

Mama coughed and stood up, "Twelve sons and Mr. and Qi Rong's little sons talk, the old slave went to talk to Mrs. Zhang." ”

The Twelfth Princess's eyes immediately smiled, "Thank you, Mama." ”

Mama pretended to be serious and said, "Don't take it as an example!" He bowed to Gu Xinyin and Qi Rong and went out.

There were only the twelve princesses left in the study, Qi Rong and Gu Xinyin.

The twelfth princess directly changed her title, "Uncle Mazi, I miss you so much, you don't know, although the eighth sister has been grounded, there is still the ninth sister, she is a sinister villain, I suspect that this time the eighth sister is so bold and dares to sell me with outsiders, it was the ninth sister who instigated it." ”

Qi Rong frowned and said, "What do you say?" ”

Gu Xinyin also looked over.

The twelfth princess said: "There is no evidence that the ninth sister was involved in the previous matter, so the father did not punish her, and her previous external image was very well-behaved, even if I told the queen mother, the queen mother only said that she could be convicted with evidence, otherwise there was really no way to do anything to her." The queen mother called the ninth sister and her mother, reprimanded them, and found an excuse to punish them for copying the scriptures, and I thought that this was the end of the matter. ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something, and said angrily: "A few days ago, when you ladies asked the queen mother to say goodbye, she actually looked at me with a cruel face, if it wasn't for me being arrested this time, I became much more sensitive to the eyes of outsiders, and suddenly turned my head to look at her, and I couldn't find her strong hatred for me." ”

"I told the queen mother, and the queen mother only said that the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, and when she was arrested, everything would be solved, but before she only showed her hatred and did not do anything, the queen mother could not cure her crimes."

Gu Xinyin looked out the door, "Those two people were sent by the queen mother to protect you." ”

At the mention of this, the Twelfth Princess had a smile on her face again, and she nodded and said, "Yes, although the Queen Mother can't do anything to her for the time being, she has sent two masters to protect me." ”

Gu Xinyin thought for a while and said, "You wait, I'll come when I go." ”

Soon, Gu Xinyin picked out some of the medicinal herbs sent by the prince before, quickly crushed them into powder with internal force, and then mixed them together, wrapped them into a medicine bag, and handed them to the twelve princesses.

"These are the drugs I made, if you encounter any accidents, as long as you sprinkle them on the other party, you can temporarily stun the other party and give you a chance to escape."

The twelfth princess took the two small medicine bags, put them in the cuffs, and patted her heart with a very secure look, "Uncle Mazi, I feel much more at ease here," she looked very interested in those medicines, and said excitedly: "Uncle Mazi, you can make those medicines into powder with a pinch of them, and you can also make them into drugs, can you teach me these, if I learn this, I won't have to worry about being calculated in the future." ”

Qi Rong was also eager to try, "Yes, Uncle Zhang, you can teach me too." ”
