Chapter 229

Lin's mother originally wanted to take Yulian and her wife to her home for the Spring Festival, but she was declined by Yulian. She only said that all the things in her home for the Spring Festival were ready and all the colors were complete, so she didn't go to her aunt's house to make trouble. Seeing her insistence, Mrs. Lin didn't think she was so strong before, but since she insisted, it's up to her. Lin's mother also knew that if both leisurely sister and brother hadn't married yet, she might be willing to come. Now it's inconvenient.

Generally speaking, the new year has been a little dull and tasteless, but in early March, it's Chunwei. At the end of the first month, Ju Zi from all over the country rushed to the capital one after another. In particular, Shen's house is not far from Wenhua academy and Guozijian, and he feels that the surrounding area is full of excitement. Several members of the Shen family also came to Beijing for the examination. Because Shen Ze's house is close to the Gongyuan, it is quieter than the imperial palace. After meeting Shen Mingchang and his wife, they all came to live in Shen Ze's house.

Shen Ze has to be on duty every day. He takes care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation in person. He must make them feel comfortable. It is also after coming to ancient times that leisurely gradually adapted to the value and sense of belonging of people in this era. These people know that you ran is the elder sister of the number one criminal. They also ask her to take a message and visit Enron. Leisurely is to take care of, but after the spring Wei results out, a few people did not test, or let people quite disappointed. However, leisurely looking at the appearance of those clansmen who didn't put them in their hearts, they felt that they were nervous in vain. It was only in recent years that leisurely gradually realized that her younger brother's ability to win the first place in the exam was not only based on the face of yundao and Han Dishi, but also on the memory and understanding of the adverse heaven.

The imperial examinations in the Dakang Dynasty are similar to those in history, but they are different. Thanks to the emperor, in addition to four books and five classics, arithmetic, law, agricultural science and so on accounted for a large proportion of a scholar here. That is to say, the imperial court paid more attention to the practical ability of the students. According to Enron, these people of the Shen family are all right in the four books and five classics, but they don't have too much money to be successful in the examination, which is a little worse than the arithmetic of agriculture. Today, the Dakang Dynasty has been in Chengping for a long time. This time, more than 4000 people participated in the spring Wei Festival, and the final choice was only 300 people. None of them chose one out of ten, which is much more difficult than the college entrance examination. This is because the court controlled the age of Juren. Since the previous dynasty, the court has not allowed Juren over 45 years old to participate in the examination. This court has also continued this rule. Otherwise, there would be twice as many people coming to Chunwei.

However, by this spring Wei, leisurely private silver is a lot more rich. It turns out that her dowry fields and shops have made a lot of profits in recent years. After the autumn harvest last year, she took a leisurely inventory of her private house and found that she had 2000 mu more land and two shops than when she got married. Not to mention, she also lost 5000 taels of silver. She thought that it was useless to put the silver in her hand. She might as well take it out and buy some property. She was also inspired by Yulian's house. When she entered the house, she bought it for only two hundred taels of silver. If she rented it out for one year, she could get thirty or forty taels of silver. But in five or six years, she could recover the capital and lose the house in vain. In this era, if you have money, it is very reliable to invest in real estate.

Youran originally wanted to buy another village with the money, but there was no good land in the suburbs of Beijing. The land price would be cheaper if it was farther away, but if it was far away, it would be easier for the management to make a difference. Seeing the house of Yulian, leisurely had some ideas in mind. It happened that there was a restaurant at the south end of Wenhua street which had to be resold due to poor management. Because the restaurant is old and dilapidated, and it is sold in a large yard behind it, the price is not low because of its good location. But the house is too dilapidated. If you buy it, you have to repair it. It's not a small amount. Besides, this place is a little far away from Gongyuan and Guozijian, and it takes two quarters of an hour by car. If it goes two miles further, it will be more dilapidated, and this place will be sold out long ago. That day leisurely happened to pass by. When I saw it, I asked the steward to inquire about it. Later, I went to see it in person. I thought I could start with it, so I spent three thousand taels of silver to buy the restaurant and the ten acres of land behind it. And then directly let people push down the original house and rebuild it. But leisurely did not let people build restaurants or anything, but built two two-story buildings, one for running a bookstore. The other one opened a silk shop and sold some ready-made clothes at the same time. On the second floor, some embroiderers were hired to work here. Moreover, only men's clothes were made here. To be exact, only the clothes of scholars were made here.

In the back of the space, she let people build a courtyard with three entrances, but different from the general residential pattern, it was divided into small courtyards. Each courtyard is of different sizes. The largest courtyard has five main rooms with two East and West Wing rooms. The smallest courtyard has only two main rooms and one side room. Every yard, big or small, has its own bathroom system. There are also two wells in front of the yard for tenants to use. It cost leisurely more than 1000 Liang to build the house with some necessary furniture and furnishings in the room. Although the bookshop was not big, it cost her nearly five thousand taels of silver. After all, books were small and expensive. There are also four treasures of the study. A humble Hui ink will cost more than ten liang of silver, which is still the price. Therefore, not everyone can do business in this bookstore. Fortunately, at the end of the year, she made another profit, otherwise she would not have enough money in her private house. Although the yard was built years ago, leisurely didn't rent a house. It wasn't until after the year that the local residents came one after another that they took a comprehensive look at the house prices nearby and rented out the small courtyards one by one. According to the size, the monthly rent of these yards ranges from 78 Liang to 20 Liang. Of course, it's a price that doesn't cost anything. If you want to eat a ready-made meal, it will cost extra. According to the amount of meat and vegetables, one or two to six taels of silver per person per month. Although it sounds expensive, it's much cheaper than those Inns on the edge of Gongyuan. The first-class rooms in those Inns cost seven or eight taels of silver a day at this time of year. The rent for a moonlight is twenty or thirty taels, and the food is even more expensive. The rent of the largest courtyard here is 20 Liang a month, but if it is crowded, it is not a problem for four or five fellow villagers. Although the financial situation of the whole family is much better than that of a scholar, most of them are not well-off unless they have rich family fortune. After all, if you come all the way from other places, you'll have to stay for at least two or three months. In addition to food and accommodation, you need to have a dinner with your classmates and exchange experience with each other? It's not easy to come to Beijing. Do you have to buy some books that you don't have in your hometown? There are different customs all over the country. If you want to participate in the literary and poetry meetings, you have to wear two kinds of clothes popular in the capital, right? If you have some spare money in your pocket, you have to buy some special products in the capital to bring back to your family. In addition to the round-trip fare, it costs at least two hundred taels of silver to take part in a meeting examination for all the people near the capital. Those who have a long way to go, I'm afraid the toll alone is more than that, right?
