Chapter 1: The first time I arrived in the capital, it was a good spring

The sun is shining, the grass is fragrant, in the distance, a carriage is driving slowly, although the time is not in the afternoon, but the sun in August is still hot, Chen Longting and other four people set off from Langfang Town early in the morning, and are expected to arrive in Jingzhao in the afternoon.

In fact, this Jingzhao is Beiping, which is called Beijing in later generations, and it is now the eleventh year of the Republic of China, and it will take six years, and after the end of the Northern Expedition, in the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, the Jingzhao place will be abolished and Beijing will be changed to Beiping.

These things, Chen Longting is very clear in his heart, at this moment the four people are constantly rushing to the road, they passed through Yanmen Pass four days ago, then passed through Baoding, passed through Langfang, and the destination directly pointed to Jingzhao.

At this time, Chen Longting stretched out his hand to pull the curtain of the car, and looked at the scenery outside the car energetically, now that they had entered the land of Jingzhao, although the scenery in this suburb was very desolate, but his heart was full of joy.

The roads on the outskirts of Beijing are dotted with people in a hurry, some pushing small carts to go to the market, some carrying flat burdens, and some driving horse-drawn carriages like the four of them.

At this moment, Chen Longting got out of the carriage and walked towards Beijing on foot under the scorching sun, which made Liu Banxian, who was driving the carriage, speak:

"Young Master, there are still a few hours before we arrive at Jingzhao Mansion, and it's too early to get off the bus and walk. ”

Chen Longting shook his head with a smile, while walking, he felt the oncoming breeze, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, the field of vision was very broad, the green mountains and green waters in the distance, all the scenery at a glance.

Walking on this vast land, Chen Longting only felt the energy circulating in his body, and his speed increased a lot, looking at the pedestrians on the official road. With a very comfortable look on his face, he couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath. Then he smiled and opened his eyes. Immediately put his hands behind his back, and while walking, he raised his head and sang:

"Good spring, it's better to dream, the grass is fragrant in the dream, I bring the dream with me, the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water, and the breeze blowing the sun"

With my dream, I came to Jingzhao. I don't know if it's hell or heaven ahead?Chen Longting thought so, and at the same time continued to sing loudly:

"A happy moment is also a long time, go forward happily, never look back! This flower blooms and falls for a thousand years and all shapes, I am still my own appearance, not the wings made up by the gods themselves, swaying and flying! Flying across the four oceans! Good spring!"

His melodious singing voice spread all around. In a matter of moments, the happiness was transmitted to other passers-by. And at this moment, Chen Longting's heart is becoming more and more determined, just like this song, no matter how many things are waiting in the future. He will move forward happily and never look back!

And at this time, on another carriage on the official road. The curtain was quietly being pulled open a small gap, revealing a quirky face. After seeing the song that Chen Longting sang, he let out a laugh like a silver bell.

Chen Longting's ears moved. He immediately turned his head to look at the carriage, but sadly, the curtain was closed again, to which he shrugged his shoulders and continued to bask in the atmosphere of joy.

An old man in his sixties and seventies on the road walked over, looked at Chen Longting and asked:

"Housheng, what's the name of the song you just sang?"

Hearing this question, Chen Longting was immediately embarrassed, and he was so happy that he forgot that this was in the Republic of China, and seeing that the old man was still looking at him, waiting for an answer, he said:

"I don't have a name, I'll just hum it. ”

As soon as the old man heard this, he praised the literary brilliance of the later life! Chen Longting proudly said that he had won the award, but he smiled in his heart, I will tell you that this is the theme song of the spring Pig Bajie?

A few hours later, Chen Longting saw more and more buildings on the road, and the pedestrians gradually became dense, and he couldn't see the tall outer city in the distance, so he suddenly felt relieved and finally arrived in Beijing!

Outside the Zhengyang Gate, Chen Longting and the others seemed to be looking at the flowers, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, walking and stopping, it took half an hour to pass through the outer city, and then they walked non-stop to the inner city of Sijiu.

The inner city and the outer city built in the Ming Dynasty were destroyed or demolished in the 70s and 50s respectively, although some of them were rebuilt in later generations, but now Chen Longting saw these two majestic ancient city walls with his own eyes, which made him sigh.

When the four of them drove the carriage to the black dog police, they entered the inner city, came to Dongcheng District, and then along Qianmen Street, all the way up, stopped the carriage at the door of a tavern called 'Hui Xianju', and prepared to have lunch first.

After handing over the carriage to the groom of the tavern to take care of, the four of them strode into the Huixian Residence, and the shopkeeper immediately rushed forward, showing a smile on his face, and said:

"Yo, four masters, hurry up and please come inside!"

Chen Longting listened to the shopkeeper's authentic Mandarin, not to mention how comfortable he was, and immediately nodded and walked towards the tavern with the other three.

"May I ask a few masters, is it a sharp point, or a hotel?"

"Eat first, and the rest later. Chen Longting said.

"What do you need to order?" said the shopkeeper as he wiped the table, chair and bench with a rag before seating the four of them.

Chen Longting sat on the stool, and then asked very comfortably:

"What are the specialties of your store?"

Hearing his words, the shopkeeper immediately said excitedly:

"Master, if you want to eat specialty, you can be regarded as the right place, we will Xianju's fried liver, which is famous in the entire capital!"

When Du Wenhui saw the shopkeeper say this, he immediately interjected:

"It's famous, it's really fake, it's not delicious, we don't give money!"

Chen Longting glanced at Du Wenhui and motioned for him to talk more! Then he took out a few pieces of ocean from his arms, threw them to the shopkeeper, and then asked:

"Xiao Er, tell me, how is this fried liver?"

When the shopkeeper saw Du Wenhui say this, he didn't give you any money? Lao Tzu will beat you out! Then he received the ocean thrown by Chen Longting, and immediately introduced with a smile:

"Master, you listen to the little one. This fried liver is pig intestines, pig liver, pig heart, and pig lungs. After washing, cut into segments, dices, strips, and slices. Then put the peppercorns, spices, salt, boiled in white soup, named 'white small chops'. And he changed the fire to 'fork fire'!"

Hearing this, it made the four of them drool, and Chen Longting asked Xiao Er to serve the food directly, obviously he couldn't wait, you must know that along the way, there was a lot of dust. The Five Organs Temple has suffered a lot of crimes.

But the shopkeeper said:

"Master, the fried liver is all freshly made, sell a pot, make a pot, so it takes a little time, why don't you have some xiaolongbao first?"

"Okay, hurry up! Let's have a few steamed buns first, and as for the fried liver, bring us four pots!" Chen Longting said casually.

The shopkeeper glanced at the four people, knowing that one pot is a standard serving for four people. Can they finish eating the four pots? Then he couldn't help but explain, but Chen Longting didn't care, just let him speed up.

A moment later, several baskets of fragrant buns were placed on the table. Chen Longting picked up the chopsticks and was about to taste them, but saw three phantoms flashing. For a moment, only an empty steamer was left on the table.

And the chopsticks in Chen Longting's hand were still held in the air. The corners of his eyes twitched, and then he scolded:

"Are you starving ghosts reincarnated? You didn't even leave me one!"

Looking at the ghost, Liu Congyun, and Du Wenhui, who were not afraid of boiling water, Chen Longting was speechless, and said in his heart, you are ruthless!

Soon after, after the four big pots of fried liver were served on the table, I saw that the pot was like a treasure cup with crystals, with moderate thickness, pleasing color and aroma.

The four of them couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in their mouths, and immediately felt that the outside was charred and the inside was tender, salty and delicious. But Chen Longting closed his eyes and took a look at Baidu, and found that this Huixian Residence, called 'Tianxingju' in later generations, is a century-old shop, and this 'fried liver' is also famous even in later generations!

I didn't think that a hundred years ago, I tasted this kind of food, which is really a great blessing in my life! Then Chen Longting tasted the delicious fried liver and asked the shopkeeper on the side.

"Little Er, do you know if there are some houses for rent near the capital?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and then said:

"Master, if you rent a house, you can go to Dongcheng District, near Wangfujing, there are many houses over there. ”

Chen Longting nodded, waited for lunch, paid one hundred and thirty yuan of the ocean, and left with Liu Banxian and the others, but he was a little painful when he paid the bill, one hundred and thirty yuan of the ocean is equivalent to more than a thousand yuan, this meal is really expensive.

Subsequently, along Qianmen Street, all the way up, in less than half an hour, came to the outside of the Forbidden City, Chen Longting looked at the prosperous palace, but let out a few sneers, that Pu Yi as the last emperor, although the Qing Dynasty has fallen, but what else is the "preferential conditions of the Qing family" They love the treatment of the Xinjueluo family is still there, Pu Yi still lives in the palace, until two years later, he will be expelled from the palace by Feng Yuxiang.

In fact, Pu Yi was expelled from the palace, and the restoration incident five years ago is inseparable, although the Qing Dynasty perished, but this Forbidden City is like a 'small court', this is the bane of the restoration!

This is just one of the points, as for why Pu Yi was expelled from the palace after two years, hehe, Chen Longting immediately let out another sneer, he knows history, and he knows this guy's temperament very well, but now, there are still many people who have great expectations for him.

It's a pity that in the next two years, this last emperor will become more and more of a thing! I'll take a good look at how this guy is a bastard in the past few years!

After taking one last look at the Forbidden City, Chen Longting sighed softly, but it is a pity that the Tiananmen Square in later generations has not yet been built, and this Beijing city has lost a trace of domineering after all! After speaking, the carriage passed through Chongwenmen and walked towards Wangfujing in Dongcheng District.

During this period, Liu Congyun turned back several times and looked at the Xuanwu Gate on the other side, Chen Longting couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this, this guy was trying to see the Baiyun Temple next to the Xuanwu Gate, right? Immediately, he said to Liu Banxian:

"Don't worry, in the future, your Taoist temple will be next to Chongwen Gate!"

Hearing the young master's words, Liu Banxian couldn't say anything in an instant, and Chen Longting immediately laughed when he saw him like this

An hour later, the four of them drove the carriage to Wangfujing Street, and then asked all the way if there were any rental houses, but they were told that only in the alleys would there be yards for rent.

Then the four of them came to Ganyu Hutong and found several local protectors. I saw a few courtyard houses, but I was taken aback by the monthly rent! A courtyard house has a monthly rent of 1,000 yuan!

And you have to pay a deposit for half a year first. This is equivalent to a rent of 10,000 yuan per month, and a deposit of 60,000 soft girl coins is also required. A total of 70,000 ah! This is still one, if the entire courtyard house is a courtyard, it will cost 48,000 yuan, and 480,000 soft girl coins Chen Longting's face turned green on the spot!

I thought that when I came to the Republic of China, I could still live in a house within the Third Ring Road, and this Wangfujing is in the center, but the price is too expensive for Nima, right?

Now, Chen Longting only has 10,000 yuan in his belongings, and he can only rent one of them. But if you rent, you will only have three months of rent left, and after three months, you will have to run naked.

Therefore, Chen Longting couldn't accept this kind of price at all! Then he negotiated with the local insurance to see if he could give a proper discount, but how did he know that the other party was so coaxing, his eyes seemed to be on his nose, and he didn't need to talk about it!

Therefore, the four of them had to drive the carriage. From looking for a new house, until half an hour later, I almost walked around the alleys near Wangfujing, and there was no monthly rent of less than 1,000 yuan.

Chen Longting was completely dead. Then I plan to go to Haidian District to see, after all, it is next to Peking University, and it is convenient to go to school. Although enrollment only began a month later, that area. In the next life, it will be outside the four rings.

No! Isn't it money? I really have a special place to live in this courtyard! Just then, their carriage came to an alley.

But I saw that the archway at the mouth of the alley said cinder alley.

The cinder area is also in Wangfujing. Just as Chen Longting was stunned, a middle-aged man appeared in front of the carriage, then looked at him and said with a smile:

"Master, I'm the land security here, do you want to rent a house?"

The person in front of him, who seemed to be doing scalping business, made Chen Longting raise his eyebrows, and couldn't help asking:

"Yes, I'm going to rent a house, do you know that there are cheap courtyard houses near Wangfujing?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and then patted his thigh and said:

"Ouch! You've found the right person, this cinder alley definitely has the cheapest courtyard house in the capital! If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it?"

Hearing this, Chen Longting couldn't help but be secretly happy, and then automatically ignored the word 'cinder', snapped his fingers and said:

"Walk you!"

"You see, this courtyard house is open in the middle, there are gardens, small fish ponds, the four rooms in the south, east and northwest are extremely bright, and there are flowers and plants in front of the door, and the rent of each room is only two hundred and five! A total of 1,000 yuan is now the ocean! Moreover, it is only one month's rent!"

The middle-aged man took great pains to say this, but Chen Longting was a little skeptical, there is such a good thing? Not to mention that the rent is four times cheaper, and even the deposit only needs to be paid for an extra month?

"How about it, sir, if you rent it, you have to take it early, otherwise you won't have this shop after this village." The middle-aged man said, his eyes subconsciously looked around, and his body shivered a few times, obviously afraid of something.

Chen Longting thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Rented!"

Subsequently, he paid 2,000 yuan to rent this courtyard, and the land security collected the money, signed the lease contract, and immediately gave it to Chen Longting, and ran away.

That look, it was as if he was running for his life, but who was Chen Longting? Immediately stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and the ghost figure on the side instantly used his body technique, and in a few flashes, he grabbed the land back, and then Chen Longting frowned and asked:

"What are you running?"

"Master, this house has been rented to you, I want to go home now, you can let me go!" The middle-aged man looked like he was about to cry, and he couldn't wait to kneel down for Chen Longting.

At this time, Du Wenhui also grinned and asked:

"Tell me clearly, why did you run just now? Are you afraid of something?"

Then Chen Longting and others pressed to ask, and the local security quietly told what he was afraid of, it turned out that this courtyard house was next to Prince Rui's mansion!

That is, one of the eight iron hats of the Qing Dynasty, since the fourth year of the Republic of China, Prince Rui, Aixin Jueluo Kuibin, died suddenly at the age of less than forty, this palace has been empty, until two years ago, Aixin Jueluo Shanqi stayed in Prince Rui's mansion, but he died of illness on the road to Lushun this year, and then was posthumously named Prince Suzhong by Pu Yi.

Listening to the meaning of the land protection, the feeling is that the palace of the prince of Narui is very unknown? In less than ten years, the two princes who have lived there have all hung up! Could it be that this palace has been haunted?

Subsequently, the land security was forced to have no choice, so he had to tell the situation of several tenants before and after this courtyard, they all lived in less than a month, either crazy, or stupid, outsiders said that it was affected by Prince Rui's mansion, because ghosts can often be seen wandering in this courtyard.

In this regard, Chen Longting and the four of them scoffed, what kind of ghosts? It's just nonsense! After letting go of the ground guard and letting him leave, Chen Longting looked at Liu Congyun and asked:

"Liu Banxian, how about you look at the feng shui of our courtyard?"

Liu Congyun wiped his beard and said:

"There are peach poplars in the east, plum dates in the south, elm in the west, and Ji Li in the north, but it is a house that attracts wealth and treasure!"

After speaking, Liu Banxian raised his head and looked to the east again, frowned slightly and said:

"It's just the east, the yin qi is a bit heavy, young master, don't get me wrong, the yin qi I mean actually refers to women!"

"What? woman!"

Chen Longting and Du Wenhui said in unison, as for the ghost, please ignore it
