Li Qingzhi looked at Mrs. Qian's face and said, "Yes." ”

Mrs. Qian has wrinkles on her face and deep bags under her eyes, but these are minor problems, and he can help get rid of them.

He's a man with a golden finger!

Speaking of which...... If he is down-and-out in the future, he may make a fortune by helping people do beauty.

Chapter 211: Plum Blossom Viewing Party

In the blink of an eye, it's the day of the plum blossom viewing party.

Li Qingzhi got up early in the morning, he picked out a set of good clothes to put on, and then went to comb Jin Xiaoye's hair.

Today's plum appreciation party, Jin Xiaoye will go with him, and when he gets there, he will follow those people to the party, and Jin Xiaoye and they will take a stroll around the neighborhood and enjoy the plum blossoms.

The Zhuangzi planted with plum blossoms outside the city was originally accessible to everyone, and it was not taken over by them.

The two dressed up and went to the west wing to eat.

Chang Zhan's two apprentices were with Zhang Zao, and they had already made breakfast.

In these years, there are no public toilets, and it will be very inconvenient to eat a belly of soup and water outside before going out.

The pork is boiled together with the sun-dried beans in the summer, and then the noodles are spread on top and simmered for a while, and the stewed noodles are ready, and they are fragrant to eat.

After eating the noodles and waiting for a while, the two carriages they rented came.

There are a lot of carriages in the capital, but everyone usually rents them and doesn't raise their own horses.

Raising horses is too expensive, and most people can't afford to raise them.

Renting a horse-drawn carriage is actually expensive, and if you don't go out of the city, everyone walks on their feet.

Jin Xiaoye was a little distressed about money, she got into the carriage, and said to Li Qing: "I am already optimistic about the shop, and I am negotiating the rent with people, and when the negotiation is good, I will start the Juewei Zhai." In addition to Juewei Zhai, I also want to open a Jincui Building, which specializes in glass jewelry and soap, but before that, I need to find some craftsmen who can make jewelry and polish gemstones, so that I can do business for a long time. ”

Qian Fugui came to Beijing this time and brought them a few sacks of glass, which could be polished into jewelry and sold.

Glass jewelry Jin Xiaoye does not intend to sell too expensive, but he is not prepared to sell too cheap...... Make some preparations at the same time as opening the Delicious Zhai, and open the Jincui Building at the end of the year.

"Okay." Li Qingzhi laughed, Jin Xiaoye is now in charge of the family's business, and Jin Xiaoye is also managing it very well.

"We have to make money, and now we are spending money all the time, and if we continue like this, we will have no money." Jin Xiaoye Road.

When I was in Chongcheng County, the Golden Leaf Embroidery Workshop and Juewei Zhai combined, I could earn two or three hundred taels of silver a month.

This seems like a lot, but they also spend a lot, if it weren't for Li Qingzhi writing books and earning a lot of money, they wouldn't be able to afford to open a school.

When he came to the capital, Jin Xiaoye brought two thousand taels of silver, and after he came, he had already spent two hundred taels after counting the rent, and then he had to rent a shop, decorate, and hire craftsmen to pay for it!

Everything is really expensive in the capital!

Li Damao and Li Ermao went to Mrs. Qian's carriage, and Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye, Li Laogen, Zhao Xiaodou and Zhang Zao sat in a carriage.

Li Laogen waited for Li Qingzhi to finish talking to Jin Xiaoye, and then said to Li Qingzhi: "Ah Qing, if we have no money, we can go to a slightly worse place to rent a house to live." ”

Li Laogen doesn't like Bluestone Lane very much.

He felt that his son was very powerful, and he wanted to go out and brag to others after staying at home for two days.

And then...... Li Qingzhi introduced him to the people around him.

Li Qingzhi told him that the one who dried a bunch of pickles at the door of his house was the mother of an official, and the one who walked the birds with a bird cage was a man.

In their alley, there are even concubines from the Hou Mansion, which means that they are the sons of the Hou Lord!

Compared with these people, what is Li Qingzhi!

Li Laogen was scared when he saw a county order, and when he learned that there was a group of big Buddhas living in the alley, how could he dare to go out and brag to others?

He is now looking forward to Li Qingzhi moving to a place where he almost lives, and only by mixing with those people in the market can he have a sense of superiority.

Of course, Li Qingzhi couldn't agree, this was not Chongcheng County that they were familiar with, and there was no way to guarantee their safety if they went to live in a place where those people from the three sects and the ninth rank lived.

The carriage swayed forward, and it took a long time to leave the city, and after walking for another hour, it finally came to Zhuangzi, where you can enjoy the plum blossoms.

In ancient times, it was really inconvenient to go out.

"Xiao Ye, you accompany the eldest lady and them to walk around, I'll go to the plum blossom party." Li Qing insisted.

While the owner of this Zhuangzi opened the Zhuangzi for free, he also sold hot water for food in the Zhuangzi, which could also make some money and make it convenient for tourists.

When they came out, they brought some food, and when the time came, they could borrow a place to warm it up, so they didn't have to worry about Jin Xiaoye being hungry.

In addition, Zhang Zao was Li Qingzhi's scholar, but he didn't take Zhang Zao away, but asked Zhang Zao and Mrs. Qian's two maids to take care of Mrs. Qian and several children.

Mrs. Qian is pregnant, and there are three children in the team, so it is safer for more people to look at it.

Separated from Jin Xiaoye, Li Qingzhi found a subordinate on the Zhuangzi and asked about the places where people held plum appreciation parties.

The man pointed out the direction to Li Qingzhi, and Li Qingzhi walked there.

The people who came to participate in the plum blossom viewing party all left from their residences early, and some people were already here at this moment.

Li Qing has a good ear, and he heard them talking about Fan Weiyan from a distance.

"I have read all the books of the Dushan people, so I have great admiration for Li Zhao, and when I learned that his son-in-law came to the capital, I wanted to visit him, but now I ......"

"He's so unlucky, I've heard that he has to add new injuries every day."

"I don't know what's going on with him, if someone is targeting him, why do they use such small means?"

"If he continues like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to calm down and take the exam."

……

When these people saw Li Qingzhi approaching, they immediately stopped and said no more.

and Li Qingzhi introduced each other, and one of them said: "Zixiao is the Xie Yuan of Jiang'an Province, this time, Brother Zixiao will definitely be on the list." ”

The examination will be held once every three years, and two or three hundred people will be selected at one time, and most of the people who come to the capital to take the exam are not on the list.

However, the Xie Yuan of each province can basically be selected, and the Xie Yuan of a province with a prosperous literary style like Jiang'an Province, unless it encounters special circumstances, its ranking will not be low.

Li Qingzhi said a few words humbly, and quickly integrated into these people and chatted with them.

He is good at figuring out other people's emotions, and he is well-read and can pick up any topic, and more importantly, he really wants to make friends with people, and his eyes are full of sincerity when talking to people.

Chatting with Li Qingzhi always gives people a feeling of spring breeze, and the people present like to talk to him.

As they chatted, more and more people came, including Fan Weiyan.

During this time, Fan Weiyan was so unlucky that he didn't want to go out, but even if he stayed at the inn, he would encounter bad luck.

After encountering the poisonous insects in the first inn, he changed to an inn, and as a result, the occupants above him took a bath, and they didn't know what was going on, the bath bucket cracked, and the bath water poured through the wooden floor into his room, wetting his bed and his books.

Fan Weiyan was so anxious that he wanted to leave the capital and go home, but he was a little unwilling.

At this time, someone invited him to participate in the plum blossom viewing party, and after thinking about it, he decided to come over.

It is said that he is unlucky, but Fan Weiyan feels that someone deliberately targeted him, but unfortunately he can't find evidence.

Let's just say that in the room with the cracked bath bucket, there lived a county magistrate who returned to Beijing to report on his work.

What if he thinks it's deliberate? People don't recognize it at all, and even blame the inn's bath bucket for not being good......

In the end, the inn paid money to the county magistrate and him, and then persuaded him to leave, saying that he didn't want him to affect the inn's business.

At that time, Fan Weiyan had a feeling that his face had been lost.

However, those who were hiding in the shadows would dare to target him in places like inns and the like, and they would certainly not dare to do anything to him at a cherry blossom viewing party like the Plum Blossom Festival, which was attended by a large group of people.

Fan Weiyan came all the way over, and he didn't encounter any emergencies, and he was in a good mood, but when he saw Li Qingzhi, who was talking happily with the people around him, his mood deteriorated again.

Why is there Li Qingzhi everywhere?

After Fan Weiyan came to the capital, he lived in an inn, and he changed inns a few times, plus he was very unlucky...... There are more people who know Fan Weiyan than Li Qingzhi.

Seeing Fan Weiyan coming, although he was worried that he would be infected by Fan Weiyan and bad luck, someone still went over to say hello.

Seeing that Fan Weiyan was concerned about Li Qingzhi, he was even more humane: "That's Li Zixiao from Jiang'an Province, and he is Xie Yuan of Jiang'an Province this year." ”

Another person: "It turns out that he is Li Zixiao, and when I read "Anjiang Anthology" before, I saw his article written on it. ”

"His writing is really good!"

……

Li Qingzhi can become Xie Yuan of Jiang'an Province, which shows that his knowledge is really good.

The people around Fan Weiyan admired him very much.

Fan Weiyan was not less angry during this time, and at this time he couldn't hold back his temper, and immediately said: "This person has a poor character!" ”

The people around were stunned, they were all competitors to each other, if you really want to say how well they get along, then there must be.

But to say that others are of inferior character in public is to tear your face!

"Why did Brother Fan say this?" Someone asked.

Fan Weiyan said: "I wanted to go to the guest house on the day I entered Beijing, but he occupied four upper rooms by himself and refused to share one with me!" Later, I was framed, and he watched the excitement without saying a word! ”

Everyone was more and more surprised - Li Qingzhi actually did such a thing? I can't see it!

One of them, Jiao Yunwei, rolled his eyes and immediately looked at Li Qingzhi: "Brother Li, Brother Fan said that you occupied the four upper rooms and refused to give up, but is there such a thing?" "In this world, there are always some people who wish they could see other people's jokes.

What Fan Weiyan said, Li Qingzhi heard it all.

But he is a little far away from Fan Weiyan, and it stands to reason that he can't hear it, and he too

I didn't react.

Until now, someone else has asked...... Li Qingzhi looked dazed: "I occupy four upper rooms exclusively? I only lived in one of the four upper rooms, but I didn't have an exclusive possession, Brother Fan, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Aren't you all occupying the last four upper rooms of the inn?" Fan Weiyan sneered.

Li Qing insisted: "Brother Fan, when I entered Beijing, I took my wife, two children, my father, my wife's godmother, and my four disciples...... I couldn't live alone in the upper room, so when I saw that there were still four upper rooms in the inn, I asked for them together. Everything comes first and comes first, we already want the room, you have to let me out, it's really difficult for a strong man. ”

Chang Zhan's two students had studied at Chongcheng Primary School and could be said to be his disciples, not to mention Zhao Xiaodou and Zhang Zao, both of whom he had personally taught.

After listening to Fan Weiyan's words before, some people wondered if Li Qingzhi really deliberately occupied the four upper rooms and did not give them to Fan Weiyan, but now I heard Li Qingzhi say this......

Li Qingzhi brought so many people, he couldn't live in four upper rooms, right?!
