He Zao was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he didn't dare to get too close to Liu Yuquan in the past two days, and the latter didn't understand that she was estranged from him for some reason, but came to her more diligently.

In the face of such an innocent teenager, He Zao couldn't say a lot of words, just a grudge, complaining that the other party was too attractive.

After walking on the road for a whole month, they arrived in the capital in the afternoon.

The prosperity of the capital, when they were still outside the city gate, they had already felt it deeply.

It was probably the market day, and there were a lot of people in the streets, the shouts of the vendors, the shouts of pedestrians, the cries of children, and the sound of rattles......

From the city gate, you can see the crowd on the street bustling, and these people are better dressed than those in Guyang County. The complexion is also more peaceful, unlike the poor families in Guyang County, who always have a sadness on their faces.

Only when the stomach is full, people will have this kind of peace on their faces, and the people of the village who can't even fill their stomachs are not qualified to be peaceful.

Therefore, infected by this atmosphere, the group was very happy, and showed the way to the officials guarding the gate, and entered the city one after another.

The square streets, the buildings as far as the eye can see are square courtyards, blue bricks and green tiles, because it is almost the end of the year, there are red lanterns hanging everywhere, pasted with red couplets, looking jubilant, this is not Guyang County can be compared, in Guyang County, only good families will hang red lanterns.

"There's a lot of people on this street, let's go this way. This side is the mouth of the alley, and the road surface is clean and spacious, but it is a small road, so it is easier to walk! ”

Liu Qian had been to the capital before, and he was very experienced in taking people to the side.

The four treasures sat on the donkey cart, their eyes still staring straight at the assembly.

He Laosan turned his head and saw it, so he smiled: "When we find a place to play sharp, I will bring you to the rally to play!" ”

Qibao cheered, Sibao was so big that he was not so excited, but he also poked his lips and smiled, looking very happy.

He Zao was also a little excited.

The ancient bazaars are very different from the modern ones, she has seen the gatherings in Guyang City and Huaiqing Mansion, and she also wants to see what is different from the capital.

Liu Qian also smiled: "This place to live is ready-made, I also know two people in the capital, near the end of the year, this hotel is too easy to rent, therefore, I entrusted my friend to help us book two large courtyards, a little remote, but it is a quiet place, the road is not difficult to walk, the direction we are going to now!" ”

This is the first time the He family has heard of it, He Laosan was stunned, and quickly shirked it: "This is too troublesome, Doctor Liu, we ......"

Liu Qian waved his hand and smiled slightly: "Lord He, you are good at everything, just a little, people are too honest, and they are always afraid of causing trouble for others!" Renting a yard is not a big deal, it's just a gesture! Besides, if you go to find an inn now, it is very difficult to find, and at the end of the year, there are many officials who come to Beijing to take up their posts, most of them bring their female dependents, and the empty room is not so easy to find, and there are many of you who come! You, just accept this kindness, don't shirk it! ”

He Laosan hesitated, looked at the expectant eyes of a few children, and had to thank him again and again.

He insisted on taking out the money for renting the courtyard.

Liu Qian shook his head: "This is not in a hurry, my friend helped me rent two courtyards, one is bigger and one is smaller, see where you live, and pick and choose later!" ”

He Laosan smiled: "What's so good to pick, we have few people, let's live in a smaller courtyard!" ”

Liu Qian no longer persuaded him, and he also knew that the He family didn't take these silver in his eyes, if they didn't let them take it, this honest family would not be happy, so he said casually: "It's not too expensive, I asked my friend to order it for three months, fifteen taels a month, and three months is forty-five taels!" ”

He Laosan nodded, and was about to take the silver out, but He Zao smiled: "Uncle Liu can't be fooled anymore, in our small place, there are often rents for three months and half a year's rent, and when you arrive in the capital, it must be this rule!" Dad, let's just give Uncle Liu a hundred taels of silver, and when we have enough, let Uncle Liu give us the rest! ”

He Laosan was secretly ashamed.

He didn't think of this at all, but fortunately, the silver prepared from home was also thoughtful, and a lot of silver tickets of one hundred taels were prepared, so he quickly took out one and handed it to Liu Qian.

Liu Qian didn't answer, smiled slightly, and let the chief in front of him pick up. looked at He Zao again and sighed: "You shrewd girl! ”

Liu Yuquan in front of him made a grimace at He Zao.

He Zao blinked his eyes wide and laughed along.

The rented courtyard is not too far from the main street, but the surroundings are indeed very clean, the roads are also clean, and the people who come in and out are all the descendants of the big family, neatly dressed and clean, and the complexion is very good.

When she didn't arrive at the place, He Zao felt that the price of a courtyard was about the same for fifteen taels a month, but after reading it, she felt that the fifteen taels a month was too cheap.

He Laosan also felt the same way, and insisted on giving more silver, but Liu Qian laughed and scolded him twice, so he had to give up.

It's just that the deposit, he is determined that it will never be recovered.

One hundred and two or three months, it's pretty much the same.

The courtyard rented by the Liu family for the He family covers an area of about several hundred square meters, divided into two courtyards, and there is a small garden behind.

It's the furniture in the house, which is often wiped, and He Zao doesn't feel like an inn, but like a yard where someone's family occasionally comes to live.

Qinghuan Orange was very conscious, and immediately went to the kitchen to boil some hot water, and there was a well in the yard, which was very convenient for water.

After the family washed, they went to the courtyard of the Liu family and went to the rally together.

Sure enough, there are many things at the rally that He has never seen before, just like the common performing arts on Huanzhu Gege, there are at this rally, but not women, the performing arts are all children and adult men, practicing juggling, or playing with spears, without swords.

And the dagger on the head of the spear, but there is no, this is said that the government is very strict with the management of knives among the people, like those daggers, swords, ordinary people are not qualified to have.

There are also some snacks sold in the capital, and He Zao and Liu Yuquan ate them from the street to the end of the street as usual.

The rest are Western items brought back from overseas.

He had already found a shop selling crystal balls, small glass mirrors, pocket watches, and Western books.

He Zao saw the pocket watch and couldn't move.

She didn't expect that the pocket watches, which were very precious at this time, would be placed in the shop at random for people to buy.

After asking the price, I knew why the shopkeeper dared to place it so casually.

A small pocket watch actually costs two thousand taels.

He Zao was immediately dumbfounded, looking at the simple little two, and wanted to ask: "Why don't you go and rob it!" ”
