Chapter 258: Tianxiang Building

At dusk, the aroma of food wafted from the surrounding people, and Li Haitang rubbed his stomach, only to feel that he was so hungry that he panicked.

Lan Yi couldn't sleep well, making a little noise every once in a while, with Ji Qiu accompanying her, she occasionally went over to take a look.

"It's a cold pot and a cold stove at home."

Li Haitang was too hungry to move, so he turned his mind on Zhang Ruyi and his wife.

So, the three of them looked at each other, staring at each other, and sat against each other. The three monks had no water to drink, and no one moved.

In order to save people, his own side killed the murderer, Xiao Lingchuan went to the yamen to explain the situation, and when he came back, it was already dark.

"Husband, I'm hungry."

Li Haitang was so weak that he lay down on the table, drank a stomach full of tea, ran to the toilet a few times, and his stomach growled.

Knowing that she can't count on the idiot couple, she planned to make the simplest pimple soup in the kitchen, but found that there was nothing but some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

The few people borrowed the small courtyard of Ji Qiu's house, and they hadn't had time to buy anything to eat, so it was embarrassing.

"Husband, you are finally back!"

Li Haitang almost cried with joy, while Zhang Ruyi and Lu Yuanqing were also staggering from hunger.

Seeing this, Xiao Lingchuan couldn't laugh or cry.

There was a curfew in the city just now, people were prohibited from going to the streets, and they couldn't buy food.

But if you have money, how can you be hungry? You can exchange the money with your neighbors for some rice noodles and vegetables.

These three people, the genius doctor, the magistrate's daughter, and a poor scholar, together, no one can save face.

"Husband, is there still a curfew outside?"

Li Haitang listened attentively, and the sound at the door became much quieter. According to what Lan Yi said, the officials searched for the granary, found the dead and missing women, and transported them to the morgue in vehicles, waiting for the family members in the surrounding cities to come and identify them.

"It was just lifted."

The wind outside was a bit chilly tonight, so he took an outer shirt and put it on Li Haitang, his tone slowed down, "My lady, what do you want to eat?"

"We won a table of noodles at Tianxiang Tower, and we will eat that."

A table of seafood can accommodate seven or eight people to eat together, and if you can't finish eating, you can bring some back with a food box.

With Lan Yi's current state of mind, he would definitely wake up at night and eat some warm seafood noodles to relieve his tension.

"it is good."

The carriage borrowed by the yamen was right outside the door, Xiao Lingchuan strode out with his wife in his arms, Zhang Ru immediately stood up and pointed at Lu Yuanqing.

"What are you doing?"

The table is that the husband and wife have a tacit understanding, so the reward they get, it's not good for the two of them to have dinner with each other, right?

"Be a crutch!"

Zhang Ruyi was very sad. She sprained her ankle and was not able to recover quickly. Her neck was injured again and she was weak now.

Look at the man who is a husband, and look at Lu Er's idiot, there is no harm if there is no comparison.

If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't look at the face when I got married! It's too late to regret now.

Lu Yuanqing's small body is not enough for her!

"Hurry up, let's get into the carriage, or you want to be hungry?"

Zhang Ruyi urged her husband, and then shouted to the door, "Hai Tang, wait for me, I'm coming!"

…

When a few people arrived at Tianxiang Tower, they received warm hospitality.

The shopkeeper received it in person, and sent a waiter to introduce the dishes. Dr. Li is the savior of the young master's family. The master has told him that he wants the best things from the restaurant.

"Master Li, the young master was injured, and my boss didn't come today. He even said that he would wait for him to feel better, and then he would offer a big gift and come to thank him."

The shopkeeper was extraordinarily hospitable and poured tea for the group with his own hands.

Tianxianglou and Baixiangju are on the same street, one is on the east and the other is on the west.

There are three floors in Tianxiang Building, and Li Haitang was welcomed to the third floor.

The third floor is a large room with a round table that can be rotated, and it does not welcome guests on weekdays.

The shopkeeper invited people to the third floor, which was considered the highest courtesy Tianxianglou could give.

Licheng is close to the sea, and sea products are common here, but good-looking fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish are very valuable, which is a major feature of Tianxianglou.

"Shopkeeper, we're all hungry, so we'll order something first if we have something to eat."

After Li Haitang thanked him, without hesitation, the back kitchen quickly served a small pot of salted prawns.

The prawns are firm and tender, and they are all freshly made today. They are boiled in water to preserve the original flavor.

"Just such a pot of shrimp can fetch sky-high prices in Lucheng."

Zhang Ruyi commented while eating, Lucheng is not close to the sea, if you want to eat seafood, you can only wait for the winter, the weather is cold, some vendors specially transport some from Licheng or the barbarians.

The common people prefer Hexian more. There is no market in the local area, and there are few people who sell the goods, so the price is raised very high.

"So, come here once, we have to enjoy it."

Xiao Lingchuan was in charge of peeling the skin. Li Haitang opened her mouth. The prawn was as long as her hand, and there were red seeds on the head of the prawn. After two bites of one prawn, the aftertaste was endless.

"Hai Tang, I actually want to start a small business."

A small pot of prawns, everyone ate to the bottom, and finally left four, planning to bring back to Ji Qiu and Lan Yi.

Zhang Ruyi looked around at the third floor of Tianxiang Building. The decoration was luxurious. The tables and chairs they made were all authentic yellow rosewood, worth a thousand taels.

Married to Lu Yuanqing, her father Zhang Zheng didn't intend to dowry at all, Zhang Ruyi took away the dowry left by her mother.

There are dozens of dowry, gold, silver, jewellery, antique calligraphy and paintings. They can live in peace and stability, enough to eat and drink for a lifetime, but it is not a problem to just keep living on their laurels.

This year's township exam is scheduled to be after August 15th, so Lu Erlian has to go back to Fucheng to take the township exam and take the exam.

"If you win the exam this year, you will have to go to Kyoto to take the exam next March, and you need a lot of money to manage it."

The cousins ​​at home disliked her for marrying a poor scholar, and they used to communicate with each other by correspondence, but now there is no letter.

The sisters felt that she would only be at such a high level in the future. It might not be that difficult to be a scholar, but it would be an insurmountable gap to raise a person to a Jinshi.

If you can get rid of the relationship and arrange Lu Erlianzi to study in the Imperial College, some adult will take a fancy to him as an apprentice, and you will be able to achieve great success, just around the corner.

It is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, especially during the scientific examination.

Students from wealthy families will inquire about the examiner's preferences, and when answering questions, they will focus on what they like, and naturally they will overwhelm the rest.

"Scholars must have real talents and real learning. What kind of skill is it to flatter you through the back door?"

Lu Yuanqing raised his head and held his chest high. He studied hard for more than ten years, and he was definitely not an idle idiot. The teachers of Lushan Academy praised him for his good knowledge, and it was only a matter of time before he passed the exam.

If you can’t pass the exam this year, you won’t be able to pass the exam until next year.

"I understand what you mean."

Zhang Ruyi glanced at Lu Yuanqing contemptuously, "Just like the villagers in Fangshan Village, they build water conservancy projects and save money slowly. If the son is not good, there is also a grandson. Don't worry, as soon as our son is born, I will educate him, and he will study and participate in education in the future." Scientific examination." "Even if Lu Er is an official in the future, she probably won't be able to accept bribes. She will not be able to realize her wish to sit at home and count money as an official's wife.
