Chapter 141 Settling down
The jade pendant on Gao Rongyue can be said to be a symbol of her status. She has been wearing it since she was born.

Gao Rongyue didn't care what the maid said. When she saw Ye Ximing coming over, she threw her jade pendant down.

Gao Rongyue's accuracy was good, and the jade pendant he threw fell straight into Ye Ximing's arms.

Seeing this, Gao Rongyue showed a satisfied smile on her face, but soon her smile froze on her face.

Not only did Ye Ximing go to pick it up, he even leaned back slightly to hide after seeing the fallen jade pendant. The jade pendant thrown by Gao Rongyue hit the horse's back and rolled to the ground. Ye Ximing didn't even look up. No.

"Miss?" The maid beside Gao Rongyue called her cautiously.

Gao Rongyue gritted her teeth with a dark face and said, "Go and get the jade pendant back."

"Yes, ma'am."

The maid responded and hurried downstairs to find the jade pendant.

Gao Rongyue's jade pendant was worth a lot at first glance. When the maid went to look for it, the jade pendant had been picked up by someone who didn't know who it was. It took a lot of effort for the maid to use the name of Shangshu Mansion to get the jade pendant from a person with an indescribable appearance. The short man got the jade pendant that had been broken into two pieces.

After getting the jade pendant, Gao Rongyue glanced at Zhou Ran and the others' window.

Zhou Ran, Da Niu and the others had returned to the small courtyard at this time, and Gao Rongyue naturally didn't see anything.

After looking away and taking the maid back to the house, Gao Rongyue immediately ordered someone to check Zhou Ran's identity.

In the evening, Gao Rongyue knew Zhou Ran's identity.

"Did he actually get married?" Gao Rongyue murmured to herself in disbelief.

The maid heard this and advised: "Miss, since the number one scholar is already married, it means that he is not lucky enough to win your favor. You might as well consider Mr. Xu. Not to mention that Mr. Xu is also handsome, he is also the second son of the Xu family. Young Master, you and him are a perfect match."

Gao Shangshu and Mrs. Gao had originally chosen Xu Jin as their son-in-law. Today, Gao Rongyue went out for Xu Jin. Who would have thought that Gao Rongyue would fall in love with the number one scholar in a blink of an eye.

Gao Rongyue snorted coldly: "In terms of knowledge, Mr. Ye is the number one scholar, and Xu Jin is just a prostitute. In terms of looks, Xu Jin is also below Mr. Ye. Apart from having a better background, how can Xu Jin compare to Mr. Ye?"

The maid said with a bitter face: "But... no matter how good the number one scholar is, he is already married."

It’s impossible for Gao Rongyue, the legitimate daughter of Shangshu Mansion, to be a concubine, right?
"So what if she's married?" Gao Rongyue said with a haughty look on her face: "How can a country woman from the Zhou family be worthy of Mr. Ye, who is both talented and beautiful? Just let Mr. Ye divorce her later."

But looking at Mr. Ye's behavior at that time, we knew that he had a deep relationship with Mr. Zhou. Would he be willing to divorce Ms. Zhou?
The maid wanted to say something, but she knew Gao Rongyue's temper fairly well, and knew that even if she said it, it would be in vain, and she would probably be angered by Gao Rongyue, so in the end she swallowed what she wanted to say.

After Gao Rongyue made up her mind, she went to find Gao Shangshu.

After Gao Shangshu heard his daughter say that he was attracted to Ye Ximing, he frowned and thought deeply.

He has read the articles about Ye Ximing's joint examination and palace examination. He also appreciates Ye Ximing's talent and learning. It seems good if such a person can be used by him.

He originally favored Xu Jin, but the eldest son of the Xu family married the niece of the Queen Mother Xuan. Even if he married his daughter to Xu Jin, the Xu family would not necessarily be on his side. In this case, it would be better to let his daughter marry him. Ye Ximing. Gao Shangshu smiled at Gao Rongyue and said with a loving look on his face: "Since you like Yue'er, then dad will naturally not object. Later, dad will let him come to our house to propose marriage."

Gao Rongyue smiled happily and said, "Thank you, dad. I know that dad loves me the most."

"You are dad's daughter. If dad doesn't love you, who will love you?" Gao Shangshu shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to dad. You can go back and rest as soon as possible. You will go in with your mother tomorrow." I’m going to see your sister.”

"Dad, please do your work first, I'm leaving." After saying this, Gao Rongyue happily left the study.

Ye Ximing won the first prize and was ordered by the emperor to write at the Hanlin Academy, but he did not take up the post immediately.

After attending the Qionglin Banquet, the other new scholars still needed to prepare for the Shujishi exam, but Ye Ximing and the others had a few days off.

After a few days of vacation, the first thing Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran had to do was find a house.

Although Ye Ximing was relatively confident about himself before, he could not guarantee that he would be able to stay in Beijing, so he just rented a courtyard. Now that he has entered the Hanlin Academy, he will definitely live in the capital for a long time. They cannot I have been renting a yard to live in.

The capital is large and difficult to live in. This sentence is not just talk, the housing prices in Beijing are more than ten times higher than those in Nanxing County.

Even a dilapidated small courtyard in a remote location can easily cost you thousands of taels of silver. Fortunately, they are not so short of money now, otherwise it would be really difficult to settle down in the capital.

Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing spent two days and finally found a suitable yard. The yard was not big and it was still a one-entry yard, but the location was pretty good. It was only a few steps away from Mr. Fei and their yard. It's about two-quarters of an hour's journey, not too far from the Hanlin Academy.

This yard cost them two thousand taels of silver.

After buying the yard, they bought some things and then moved out of the rented yard there and moved into their newly purchased yard.

Because Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen still have to take the Shujishi exam later, they don't know if they will continue to stay in the capital in the future, so they will still live in Zhou Ran's house for the time being.

After everything was arranged at home, Ye Ximing only had two days left for his vacation.

Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran have been in the capital for a few months and have yet to take a walk around the capital. After discussing it, they decided to take advantage of these two days to take a stroll around the capital.

The next day, Ye Ximing accompanied Zhou Ran to the famous Chongning Temple in the capital.

Chongning Temple is famous in Beijing for two reasons. One is that it is effective, and the other is that the vegetarian food inside is very delicious. However, the daily vegetarian food is limited in supply. If you go there late, you will not be able to eat it.

Zhou Ran originally wanted to take Da Niu and the others with him, but Da Niu bluntly refused: "Anyway, we will stay in the capital from now on, and we will have more time to go shopping. This time we will not disturb Master and Master's rare alone time."

Therefore, apart from Zhao Wu, who was helping drive the bus, there were only two people, Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran, on this trip.

In order to eat the vegetarian food praised by everyone in Chongning Temple, Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran went there early.

Zhou Ran didn't believe in ghosts, gods, and Buddhas before, but after experiencing the time travel between body and death, although she didn't fully believe in these gods and Buddhas, she still had a sense of awe.

After arriving at Chongning Temple, Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing first went to worship the Buddha, and then followed the lead of the young novice to the dining hall.
