When he comes back from Xiaotangshan, he will begin to prepare for the Spring Festival.

Sweeping the dust, pasting Spring Festival couplets, changing furnishings and so on, all the servant women in every courtyard of the Jin palace were very busy.

Jiang Wan also prepares new year's clothes under the service of Xia Yi and others.

This year, the king of Jin is in the capital. They can't eat their own food on the 30th of the lunar new year as they did last year. Moreover, on the first day of the first month, they have to go to the palace to celebrate the new year.

Last year, because she was pregnant, Xiao Ruixuan didn't take her to visit relatives and friends. This year, it seems that it's hard for her to stay in the house.

It wasn't until the 15th day of the first lunar month, after going to Mao'er Hutong to have Mrs. Li's birthday party, that Jiang Wan, who had been on the run for half a month, felt that life had subsided.

Because the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial court specially opened Enke in March. However, some students began to study in Beijing ten years ago. By early February, the inns in the capital were almost full,

The streets are also full of officials going to Beijing to take the exam.

According to the Convention, Xiaoyue, who went to the embroidery workshop in a carriage, was blocked on the road and couldn't advance or retreat.

Lanyi, who was riding in the same carriage with Xiaoyue, leaned out of the car and stood on the shaft of the car. Looking at the bustling street, he asked the driver: "is there any other way to go?"

It's not easy to go out of the house today. She doesn't want to waste all her time on the road.

The coachman was also full of wry smile: "girl, look at my car, where can I move?"

Lanyi said to her sister Xiayi, "instead of waiting in the car like this, we'd better get off and walk. Anyway, we'll get to Liji Satin shop two blocks later."

Xiayi and Xiaoyue exchange a look, think what Lanyi said is also a way, also help Xiaoyue carry the burden of loading the account book, get out of the car with Lanyi, walk to the direction of Xiufang.

After getting out of the car, the scenery will be different.

Lanyi chirps in the front, and always stops to have a look when he sees the novelty on the roadside booth.

Xia Yi and Xiao Yue walk behind LAN Yi. They are thinking about the things that their wife told them to take back.

Just three people haven't gone far, suddenly heard Lanyi "Yi", and then said to himself: "isn't that man Qiao an?"

Xia Yi hears in the heart move, but does not know Qiao an's Xiao Yue to follow LAN Yi's vision to see, and strange way: "who is Qiao an?"

I saw two scratchy people standing at the door of an inn. It's easy to see that they are a master and a servant from their clothes.

Standing in front of the inn, it was Qiao an who went to Beijing for the exam. As soon as his follower Mo ran came out of the inn dejectedly, he knew that the inn was full.

This is the third one they asked.

"Young master, why don't we go to Maoer Hutong to find aunts and grandmothers?" The bookboy Mo ran looks at the bustling street. The street is full of people dressed up by officials. He thinks it is more difficult for them to find an inn here.

Don't want to Qiao an but knock a burst of chestnut on Mo Ran's head: "one

I've told you for a long time that we didn't go to Beijing for the exam. I don't want to disturb my aunt! "“ But... If I don't go to my aunt, I'm afraid... I'm afraid we'll sleep on the street tonight! " Mo ran covers his head and says wrongly.

"Then why are you still standing here with ink?" However, Qiao an stares at Mo ran and says, "it's just to find more. If it's not good, we'll change the street and ask again. If it doesn't help, we'll stay at ordinary people's homes. Anyway, it's not that we don't give money."

Mo ran felt that his head was a little big when he heard that he had to keep looking.

In this capital, they are not familiar with life and land, and the eldest son insists on not going to his aunt's house. Is it hard for them to be like headless flies in this capital?

Just when Mo ran felt very embarrassed, she saw a girl coming from the crowd. She was very generous and patted her son on the shoulder. Then she heard her say: "Joan, I didn't think it was you!"

Although JoAnn had not heard the sound for more than a year, he felt a little weak when he heard it again without looking back

.

More than a year ago, thanks to the master of the voice, he suffered a lot in vain.

At the same time, he also sighed in the bottom of his heart and secretly told himself what kind of luck it was. After entering Beijing, he not only didn't find a residence, but also met this killer.

Qiao an some helpless turn around, just want to talk, but saw standing in Lanyi behind Xiayi, and Xiayi also mouth slightly tilted toward him nod hello.

All of a sudden, his mood changed 180 degrees.

Qiao an bows to Xia Yi and LAN Yi and says, "what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet two girls here!"

Xia Yi saw that Qiao an's dress was the same as those officials on the street, so she said with a smile: "is this also the way to go to Beijing to take the exam?"

"Although I have been neglecting my studies for many years, I still want to take a chance!" Joanne scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "it's just that my luck is obviously not very good. Now I can't even find a place to stay."

"Oh?" Xia Yi looked at Qiao an's few cages and said, "why don't you go to Jiang GE's mansion? I still remember that old Jiang Ge seems to be the eldest uncle of the young master? "

"It's because it's Ge Lao Fu that doesn't dare to harass me, guatian Li Xia..." Qiao an continued.

Xia Yi can't help laughing.

Although she doesn't have to take the next exam, she knows that many students come to Beijing in advance just to find out all kinds of information, such as who is the chief examiner and what his favorite political opinions are, in order to put a question before the exam.

It's really wonderful to have an old man like Joanne.

"Mr. Qiao, if you really can't find a place to live, I have a place to go." Xia Yi thought of Jiang Wan's numerous houses. Although some of them were rented out, some of them were still empty, leaving only the house watchers.

Like Qiao an, he just went to Beijing to live for two months, so his wife would not disagree.

Qiao an a listen, nature is overjoyed, also toward Xia Yishen

Deep made a bow, way: "the girl is really big Luo immortal down to earth, save me in danger."

Xia Yi covered her mouth and laughed.

She looked left and right, and after making sure that the house was not far from the street, she decided to take Joanne first. Jiang Wan's house is a five entrance house with a cross courtyard, and it is close to Chengnan street, so the rent is more expensive than the ordinary house. Just because of this, it will be rented out for a while and a half.

The most wonderful thing about this house is that it's only two blocks away from the Gong Yuan of the Ministry of rites. If you live here, it's much more convenient than other places to take exams and check the list.
