Master Ping is his chief examiner of the township test, even if he doesn't meet him, he should come to visit.

Chapter 210: Visit

That afternoon, Zhang Zao and others, who went to the dock to move things, moved back a bunch of things.

These include all kinds of furniture and daily necessities that they moved to Wu Baichuan's boat when they were in Chongcheng County, as well as the three hens raised by Li Damao, Li Ermao and Zhao Xiaodou.

Li Damao and Li Ermao are actually quite well-behaved, if Li Qingzhi didn't let them bring two chickens into Beijing, they would definitely agree.

Not to mention Zhao Xiaodou, who grew up in the countryside, he didn't love chickens so much, even if it was a chick hatched by himself, he also felt that it was edible food, and he didn't care much about the hens he raised.

But Li Qingzhi still brought the three chickens with him.

It's hard for a child to get a pet, so bring it with you.

Along the way, the three chickens were kept in cages, and only when the sun was good, they were moved to the deck to bask in the sun.

Raising chickens like this is easy to get sick, but because of Li Qing's persistence, these three chickens came to the capital in good health.

It's just that it's cold lately, and they don't like to lay eggs, and they only lay eggs in a few days.

After arriving in the capital, the guest house must not take chickens, Li Qingzhi continued to keep them on the boat, and asked the crew to help take care of them, until now, Zhang Zao brought them over.

"Two Great Treasures!" Li Damao, Li Ermao, immediately went to see their baby hen.

Zhao Xiaodou followed behind, and he didn't understand it.

Aren't they just two chickens? Why is Li Damao and Li Ermao so precious?

He just wanted to eat chicken, and the chicken noodle soup he had eaten in the inn was particularly delicious......

Li Qing insisted that they clean up for two days in a row before tidying up the house.

Mrs. Qian took two maids to live in the east wing, Zhang Zao and the two cooks lived in the west wing, and Li Laogen and Zhao Xiaodou followed Li Qing to live in the south-facing house.

It's not a big house, but it's pretty spacious for them to live in.

After settling in his accommodation, Li Qingzhi will start to show up in the capital, visit others and accept visits from others!

He wrote a picture, bought some gifts that were common and infallible, and went to visit Master Ping first.

Master Ping lives in Qingshi Lane, Li Qing has good ears, and as soon as he came to the door of Lord Ping's house, he heard Lord Ping arguing with people.

"You lazy woman, can't you clean up your house? Look at the house, what is the mess? "Hei-sama seems to be angry.

"Okay, okay, I know, I'll clean it up tomorrow."

"Tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much! Every time you say tomorrow, you just don't clean up! ”

"You know I'm just not cleaning up, what else are you talking about?"

"You...... Why don't you learn from Mrs. Zhang? People keep their homes in order! ”

"Then why don't you learn from Li Shi? They invited several maids for their wife! ”

Li Qingzhi: "......" is quite interesting.

Lord Ping is a bachelor from the five grades in the Hanlin Academy, in Daqi, the official's salary is not high, from the five grades of the official monthly income converted into silver taels, about ten taels of silver.

This money is quite a lot for ordinary people, but for officials, it is really little.

You must know that the yard that Li Qingzhi just rented costs ten taels of silver per month!

Officials only live on Yulu, it is easy to be stretched, Governor Zhang when he was the prefect, life was not very good, when he became the governor, Yulu more than doubled, the family can be regarded as inviting a few more people, that people are still forced by others.

Of course, there are many officials in this year, and when Gou Tongzhi was a county magistrate in Chongcheng County, businessmen, including Zhu Qian, sent him money.

But the Hanlin Academy is a well-known Qingshui Yamen, and Lord Ping estimated that he had no chance to receive gifts, and not long ago he went to Jiang'an Province to be a township examiner, and only then did he get some subsidies.

Li Qingzhi stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the porter answered, and at the same time, the quarrelsome stopped arguing.

Li Qing went in and found that the house where Master Ping lived was about the same size as theirs, and there were a lot of pots and pots and sundries piled up in the yard, and the house looked really a little messy.

Mrs. Ping's quarrel was not loud, he didn't know that Li Qingzhi could hear it, and when he saw Li Qingzhi, he greeted with a smile, and Mrs. Ping was the same.

Lord Ping is not young, and Mrs. Ping is the same, but looking at Mrs. Ping's appearance, she must have looked good when she was young.

Li Qingzhi and Master Ping are not very familiar with each other, but they have chatted a few words during the Luming banquet, and this time they came to visit, said a few words, and then left.

As soon as he went out, he heard Mrs. Ping's voice: "This person is good, I sent a few gift boxes, and you can send them over just in time for Lord Ming'er's birthday." ”

"You know that's what you're thinking about."

"You don't have to worry about it!"

"Ahem, among the gifts of Li Qingzhi, this one written by him is the best! Such words are comparable to everyone! ”

"Can you sell it for money?"

"Vulgar! Vulgar! ”

"Dead old man, you give me money, and I'll show you!"

……

Li Qingzhi: "......"

There are some officials living here in Bluestone Lane, but there are also many ordinary people living there.

It was evening, and there were people basking in the sun at the door and chatting.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment and walked towards several old women who were gathering to chat......

Seeing that Li Qingzhi was approachable, these old women immediately interrogated Li Qingzhi's information, and Li Qingzhi also took the opportunity to chat with them.

He hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, and he had a good conversation.

Not only that, these old women include the mothers and wives of officials, as well as old ladies from some ancestral families in the capital, and they know everything and can talk about everything.

By the way, after he appeared, several old men next to him also joined the "group chat", one of them was an old man carrying a bird cage, and he also had a reputation for himself.

Knowing that Li Qingzhi had just gone to visit Lord Ping, they said something about the Ping family: "Lord Ping just loves face too much, obviously has no money, and when he marries his daughter, he still has bells and whistles......"

Master Ping has no background, and he can't get out of the Qingshui Yamen when he enters the Hanlin Academy, and after so many years, Yulu is just enough to live.

After all, their family rents a house to live in, and it costs a lot of money in a year!

It's just that he still loves face, and when he marries his son's daughter-in-law and daughter, he always wants to do a good job, and he gets poorer and poorer.

Speaking of this, it is also related to the atmosphere of the capital.

In the countryside, the daughter's father and mother will receive a bride price, but the dowry is very small, and some families who are not good to their daughters do not even give their daughters any dowry.

Officials in the capital are different, they will compare the amount of dowry when their daughters are married.

In this way, the amount of dowry prepared far exceeds the dowry given by the man.

When a daughter is married highly, the dowry must be generous when she refers to her son-in-law's family or marries with each other.

Lord Ping's two sons and three daughters, in the children's family affairs, has spent seven or eight thousand taels of silver, it is said that he used to borrow silver in order to make a dowry for his daughter, this year went to Jiang'an Province, only to return the borrowed money.

As for Mrs. Ping...... Her father is also an official, she has been favored since she was a child, she has not done much work when she was at home, and after marrying Lord Ping, she does not like to do things.

This was originally nothing, but wasn't Lord Ping poor? Their family invited a total of three subordinates, an old woman who was responsible for cooking and laundry, an old man who was responsible for guarding the door and carrying water, and a scholar who was shared by the two young masters.

The Hei family has a large population, and there are far more housework to be done in these years than in modern times, and these three people are quite busy.

After chatting about Lord Ping, these people talked about those people again.

"There will be an exam in February next year, and now there are already people coming one after another! The rents of the surrounding houses have gone up again. ”

"Li Juren, if you come to rent a house in the middle of next year, your house will definitely not cost so much silver!"

"Some inns take advantage of the opportunity to bring people into Beijing and want to make a lot of money."

"In the coming period, there will definitely be a lot of young talents coming to the fore."

"Li Juren, in your Jiang'an Province, there are so many people who will be in the limelight every year."

"You are Xie Yuan of Jiang'an Province, and you must be in the limelight this time."

……

As he spoke, someone said, "Speaking of which, there is already a famous person, do you know?" ”

"Who is it?" Everyone asked.

"It's Li Zhao's son-in-law! He's notoriously unlucky, and it's said that he's riddled with bad luck! ”

"I've heard of him too......"

These people talked about Fan Weiyan.

Li Qingzhi also listened to them, and only then did he know that Fan Weiyan had encountered some unfortunate things in the past two days.

After being beaten and thrown rotten eggs, he was accidentally spilled with urine and pushed into the river.

Just the river of the capital...... It's really not very clean, he came up after falling into the water, and he was covered in mud and smelly.

Fortunately, it was winter and the water was shallow, otherwise he would have been seriously ill.

In short, the people in the capital are saying that he is full of bad luck.

In fact, if a person is unlucky, it stands to reason that there will not be so many people to talk about, but after Fan Weiyan came to the capital, he told people everywhere that he was Li Zhao's son-in-law......

Relying on those dramas, the people in the capital know Li Zhao, and naturally they pay more attention to Li Zhao's son-in-law.

Li Qingzhi is more and more sure that someone is looking for trouble with Fan Weiyan.

But King Jin's methods were so gentle, he really didn't expect it.

Li Qingzhi felt that this was the hand of King Jin, and others naturally thought so, and King Jin's subordinates even found King Jin and told King Jin that it was useless to do this, and asked King Jin not to toss anymore.

King Jin: "......" He didn't do anything! He didn't even know that Li Zhao's son-in-law had come to the capital!

He is a prince, how can he care about a small person?

But now that he knows, he really wants to make some trouble for Fan Weiyan.

Although the original disaster relief silver was taken away by the people of King Yanjun, the Du Scattered people who killed him twice pursued Li Zhao so much in "Escape from the Famine", and he didn't like Li Zhao.

King Jin thought so, but the people under him still persuaded him.
