Chapter 78: Otherworldly 2: Entering Beijing
However, from this day on, they no longer dare to have such thoughts.
For a while, the Yin Yin advice of the old patriarch before going to Beijing hit my heart again.
Jia Yu sat at the top, silently watching the changes in the expressions of the two, thoughtful.
Three days later, Zhan Baichuan and Zhan Yueping returned to their hometown in Qingyang, one was responsible for handling the two rooms and three rooms into Beijing, and the other was responsible for obeying the Miao family to get married in Beijing.
Because Chuanyu County is really far away from the capital, Jia Yu borrowed some guards from Liang Chongzhi and hired a dart bureau to accompany him.
There is no way, Jia Yu has just gotten up at this time, and he has not had time to develop his power, and in this life, Jia Yu is taking the road of literature, and it is a tricky way to sacrifice potatoes, and it is because the government has not been able to have trained veterans as soldiers like Rongguo Mansion at all.
Fortunately, there are many debts, anyway, Liang Chongzhi has been bothered for these days, and it is nothing to owe more debts, and it is a big deal to pay back his children in the future.
The night before Zhan Baichuan and Zhan Yueping left, Jia Yu rarely ushered in the interrogation and scolding of the four elders of the Zhan family.
"Grandma, Daddy, it's not that I don't miss Master and I don't want to honor Master, but I don't know where his old man is now. Since the drought in my hometown three years ago, I have never seen his shadow again, nor have I received a letter from him, where do you ask me to find him? Jia Yu wailed.
Don't say it, Jia Yu really forgot about this master who came out of nothing, if they didn't mention Lao Zhan, this master would probably have to disappear in Jia Yu's life.
Seeing that Lao Zhan and the first four of them all looked suspicious, Jia Yu thought for a while and said, "If you don't believe me, you should always believe in lotus." You can ask her if her uncle has sent her a letter. ”
Seeing Jia Yu's oath, Lao Zhan's first four people hesitated to believe Jia Yu's words, which made Jia Yu breathe a sigh of relief, turned around and hurriedly went to Ye Lotus to communicate the news in person.
After Zhan Baichuan and Zhan Yueping left, Jia Yu was not idle, and he was busy every day.
The price of goods in the capital is high, just by buying vegetables and meat to eat, it is really not enough to fill the amount of money, so Jia Yu pondered going to the suburbs of Beijing to buy a Zhuangzi, and arranged the rice, noodles, fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks and geese for his family to eat.
Again, although there are many treasures and treasures rewarded by the emperor, in addition to the ready-made gold and silver ingots, the other objects are all imperial gifts, and they cannot be sold.
Emperor Zhaoshun did not give Jia Yu an official position, which shows that Jia Yu still has to continue to study and conduct scientific examinations.
However, can studying in that small place in Linhui County be the same thing as studying in the capital?
Jia Yu has such an identity, not to mention other expenses, just the New Year's Festival and funerals can consume all the money in his hand in a year or two.
Because he really didn't have enough money, Jia Yu could only put aside the matter of buying Zhuangzi for the time being and began to make a living.
Cement glass and other important things Jia Yu has not yet gained a firm foothold in the capital, dare not do, food and other imported things, Ye Lotus is already doing, Jia Yu also has shares, so that he does not plan to mix again, thinking about it, Jia Yu finally set his eyes on soap, soap and fragrant ink red clay.
Today's Jia Yu belongs to a type of person who has a lord, a sacred heart and a background, and it is very simple to do something, within a month, the soap shop was opened, and it was popular in the capital, bringing a lot of benefits to Jia Yu, but in two months, Jia Yu saved enough money to buy Zhuangzi.
Although Jia Yu does not plan to take the township examination in August this year, in order to fight for an official position, next year's township examination, and the next year's general examination and palace examination, Jia Yu is still ready to participate. To that end, we must work from now on.
However, even if he wants to participate in next year's township exam, Jia Yu doesn't want to go back to his hometown in Linhui County, Chuanyu County to take the exam, thinking that the potato growth period is only four months, and he will definitely have the results before he gets married in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At that time, the emperor will be happy, and there is a high probability that he will come to him to meet him, and then he will complain to the emperor and ask if he can give him the qualifications to refer to him in the capital.
Just when Jia Yu was busy studying for the imperial examination and running a small business, time flew by.
In mid-June, Ye Lotus and Liang Chongzhi got married; At the beginning of July, the Zhan family's second and third rooms went to Beijing with the Miao family.
Jia Yu gave Zhan Dashan and Zhan Dazhu the two sets of Sanjin courtyards adjacent to Dongcheng, and let them choose which one they wanted, and Jia Yu did not mix.
Worried that they had no money in their hands, Jia Yu asked Fan Ningbao, who had been promoted to the head of the Guogong Mansion, to give them all the manpower and belongings.
Of course, whether it is manpower or belongings, the specifications cannot be compared with Jia Yu's original. Each family gave one to the doorkeeper to sweep, two to cook and wash, one to do clothes and sewing, and one to run errands; Clothes, bedding, cooking utensils and other things are also under control, in short, plus the house is not more than 5,000 taels.
Jia Yu understood the truth of Shengmien's fight against Mi Qiu, so that after settling them down, he asked Lao Zhan Tou to come forward and told them that in the future, in addition to providing Zhan Manliang with four small schools, they would have to figure out how to spend the rest of the expenses by themselves.
After all, Jia Yu gave them the pastries in Linhui County, and they didn't dare to say that they had a lot of money in their hands, there were still thousands of taels, and for the ordinary people of Pingtou, they just ate and drank, and they were too extravagant and wasteful, enough for them to live the rest of their lives.
Besides, they don't need to support them for so many years, and when the four little ones grow up, they will stand up to the door on their own.
Compared with the old Zhan family's side, the Miao family's side has made Jia Yu worry a lot.
Jia Yu's house for the Miao family is also on the east side, separated by two alleys from the Zhan family's second and third rooms, and it is also a three-entry yard, with similar sizes and patterns, and the handhands and belongings are also placed equally, focusing on an impartial.
However, because the Miao family is also a local snake in Linhui County, and Chuanyu County is located in a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, the Miao family is not short of money, and after the basic manpower is settled, the rest of the things such as eating, drinking, and traveling do not need Jia Yu to worry about at all, and the Miao family can arrange it by themselves.
Due to Jia Yu's now hereditary descending Duke of the country, and his social status far exceeds that of the Miao family, the Miao family has far more people who came to attend the wedding than Jia Yu imagined, in addition to Miao's father and mother, even the old man and old lady who have been supporting the elderly for many years have also come to Beijing, and there are also the grandsons of the Miao family patriarch and the Yiying clan, and the originally spacious Sanjin courtyard is crowded with people.
It can be seen that the Miao family now attaches great importance to the marriage between Jia Yu and the daughter of the Miao family, and Miao Anlan, the father of Miao, even called Jia Yu over, and told Jia Yu openly and secretly that the dowry of the daughter of the Miao family will be tripled, which is the same as the dowry of the daughter of the head of the Miao family.
In this regard, Jia Yu gladly accepted it after the accident.
