Chapter 90 90 The Distance Between Two Houses

I met the leader of these merchants on the road.

An Xin asked these people to take the safety letters they wrote to their families back to Lin'an County when they returned.

After returning, An Xin found that Old General Liu and Old Doctor Su were looking at her with shining eyes.

An Xin paused, subconsciously looked at the others, and asked with her eyes.

"???"what's the situation.

Li Ziyu turned to look at the city tower in the capital.

Leng Xiangbai looked helplessly at the two old men, but said nothing.

Several other people did not answer, let her guess.

An Xin glared at them with an obvious threat.

"Young girl, go to the old man's house in the capital." Elder Su and Elder Liu said in unison.

Old General Liu: "You old guy, why are you getting more and more annoying."

Old Doctor Su: "Hmph! You are too."

The two did not owe each other: "Girl, whose house do you want to live in?"

An Xin took a step back after being yelled at.

Based on the resonant voices of these two old people, An Xin was sure that they would live to be over 100 years old.

Knowing that it was because of this matter, An Xin thought it would be easy to solve.

So he said sincerely: "It's too disturbing to live in anyone's house, let's rent a house to live in."

"No!" The two old men looked at each other, then looked at Li Ziyu and the other six, and said meaningfully: "You were too famous at the literary fair last year."

Only then did An Xin remember that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.

She also turned her gaze to Li Ziyu.

This guy has already passed the exam for the top four.

If he performs stably in the next year's Chunwei and Palace Examinations, he will probably be the first six yuan and rank in the Daqian.

This reputation will overwhelm many people, and it will also be very helpful for future official careers.

With such a good reputation as Liuyuan Jidi, first of all, those aristocratic families in power are unwilling to let a poor student have such a reason to rise.

An Xin looked at Mr. Liu and Mr. Su gratefully. They were willing to come back to Beijing with them this time, probably because of this.

"Okay, old thing, Miss An, her cousin and student Leng live in my old house." Old Doctor Su said: "These brats are even more eye-catching. You have been a general and a colleague after all. He was an official in the dynasty.

They live with you, and those who intend to play tricks are more or less scruples. "

Old General Liu frowned, feeling that what Old Doctor Su said was reasonable, the two of them looked at the younger ones and asked, "What do you think?"

This time An Xin didn't object. After all, they just came to the capital, they were unfamiliar with the place, and it was concerned about the safety of the students.

The Liu family now only has old Liu, Liu Boxing's grandfather and grandson, Li Ziyu, Zhu Shijing and Jiang Zhou living in it, so it shouldn't be too disturbing.

I, my cousin An Rui and Leng Xiangbai will go to Su's hometown first to have a look. If it is not suitable, they will find other ways to rent a house.

Although the three of Li Ziyu didn't want to live separately from An Xin and the others, they had discussed it and didn't object.

Zhu Shijing looked at the expressionless Li Ziyu pursing his thin lips, his eyes flashed.

The few teachers and students who thought they would be far apart felt as if they had been fooled by two old people when they arrived.

Seeing the servants led by Mr. Liu and Mr. Su go up to knock on the gates of the two adjacent houses, everyone except Liu Boxing was a little dumbfounded.

An Rui: "Isn't this just living next door? Then why were Grandpa Liu and Grandpa Su arguing about which house to live in just now?"

"Cough!" Old Doctor Su whispered, "Go in, you can't let everyone live there, how desolate my side is!"

An Xin and Li Ziyu looked at each other helplessly and smiled. This time, they don't have to be reluctant to live apart. It's easy to see each other across a wall.

Li Ziyu, Zhu Shijing, and Jiang Zhou followed Liu Boxing's grandfather and grandson into the Arms Mansion.

An Xin, An Rui and Leng Xiangbai were led by old doctor Su into the opened door.

The housekeepers were two 50-year-old old servants of the Su family. They were very excited to see old doctor Su come back.

Respectfully bent down to salute, "Hello, old man!"

Old Doctor Su pointed at An Xin and the others, and said solemnly: "They are my distinguished guests, you should take good care of them, don't neglect them."

"Yes! Granny."

Old Doctor Su thought for a while, and his eyes lit up, "I have a few red plums in Qinxiangyuan, girl An, so you can take two maidservants to live in that yard."

An Xin can't be unwilling to take guests as he pleases.

"Okay, thank you, old Su."

After that, An Rui and Leng Xiangbai were arranged in the front yard where the man lived.

Da Zhuang, Tong Zhu, another groom, and An Rui's entourage, Mai Mai, were all settled in the back room where the servants lived.

After all, Old Doctor Su was old, and the journey was bumpy. After making proper arrangements for everyone, he went back to his room to rest.

An Xin took Qingfengmingyue with her, and was taken to the courtyard where she lived by Old Doctor Su's orders.

Along the way, I saw pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, rockery and lakes. It seems that Mr. Su is not an ordinary doctor if he can own this big house with three entrances in such a location in the capital.

Entering Qinxiang Garden, the ornamental trees and flower beds in the small courtyard are very elegantly arranged, and there are more than a dozen red plums planted inside.

They set off from Lin'an County on September [-]th, and walked unhurriedly for a month and a half. It was almost November when they arrived in Beijing.

Although the capital has entered winter now, the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed.

Qingfeng: "Go in, master, it's windy outside the capital."

"En! Go in." An Xin saw that Qingfeng Mingyue was carrying a bundle in her hands, and then stepped into the door opened by the servants of the Su family.

"Miss An, you rest, the old slave will not bother you." After speaking, the woman who led the way was about to retreat.

An Xin glanced at Qingfeng.

Qingfeng understood in seconds.

He took out two coins and handed them to the woman who led the way, then Mingyue put down the burden and sent the man out.

An Xin shuddered. Since no one lived in this house before, the stove next to it must have just been turned on, and the room is still very cold at this time.

Mingyue pulled An Xin to sit beside the stove, "Master, sit here to keep warm, and this servant will tidy up the room first, then you can go to bed and lie down."

At this time, Mingyue came back from outside, came in with a pot of tea in her hand, and said happily, "Master, drink tea."

"Just now, this servant has already inquired about the location of the kitchen from that woman, so this servant will go and boil some hot water for you to wash, master."

An Xin smiled slightly: "Go!"

"Qingfeng give Mingyue some scattered silver, maybe she can find something useful."

Being a newcomer and not knowing the situation here, An Xin didn't want her two loyal girls to be wronged.

Mingyue has been serving in the outer courtyard all year round, and is very good at dealing with people, and soon came back with Da Zhuang carrying hot water.

Seeing Da Zhuang, An Xin asked with concern, "Are you all settled down?"

"Master, don't worry, the slaves have all been accommodated in the residence."

Originally a somewhat naive Dazhuang, under An Xin's intentional training in the past few years, he has become more enlightened and prudent in doing things.
