Chapter 919 Rent the yard

The car was not allowed to stay in the city gate for too long, so Liu Gui led them to the way and said, "Young Master, the people who rented our villa could not move for a while. They had a contract in hand and lived there for three or four years. If they were not good, they drove the people away. So the younger one rented a large courtyard next to the yard rented by the young master in the lobby, which was closer to the Imperial College, which was..."

Seeing that he stopped talking, Bai Shan asked, "What is it?"

“It’s just a little more expensive.”

It's not just a little more expensive, it's simply too expensive.

Bai Zhi was admitted to four schools this year with his own efforts. He was unhappy to live in school. Like his younger brother Bai Erlang, he had never suffered any grievances in daily life, so he naturally was unhappy to live in school. He had to wash his face and tidy up his clothes every day.

So he rented a small yard outside and shared it with one of his classmates, just enough to live in them and the servants he brought.

Most of the houses around the Imperial College are rented to students, and the Imperial College is in the inner city, so the houses here are very short and naturally they are very expensive.

Not only are they expensive, but they are also small. They said they rented a large mansion, but in fact they were just a small yard. There were so many people who could barely live there. Mrs. Liu and the others would definitely have to find another place to go to Beijing, but they still had some time to enter Beijing.

Several cars stopped in the alley one after another. Bai Dalang took a leave today and waited at home. Seeing his brother being the first to jump out of the car, he couldn't help laughing and quickly stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "I'm finally waiting for you."

Bai Erlang turned around and saw his brother, and he jumped on him happily. The two of them hugged him, "Brother, is it fun in the capital?"

Bai Dalang smiled, "It's fun."

After saying that, he saw the car bench lowering from the car behind, Zhou Liulang lifted the curtain and helped Mr. Zhuang get out of the car. He hurriedly came forward to support Mr. Zhuang.

After Mr. Zhuang got down to the ground and stood firm, he took a step back and saluted respectfully, "Sir!"

Mr. Zhuang nodded with relief, touched his beard and smiled: "I have heard from your father that you have entered the four schools?"

Bai Dalang couldn't help but smile and nodded fiercely, "It's so hard that Mr. Reliable for his teachings."

Mr. Zhuang patted his shoulder and said, "You are working hard on your own."

Bai Shan and Man Bao also got out of the car. Everyone had seen each other's favor, so they asked Da Ji and the others to move things in.

Bai Dalang was several years older than them, and he had the style of being an older brother. He led them into his yard first, "You can rest here first, wait until they have finished things before going over."

He knew that Mr. Zhuang was in a bad mood when he was old, so he took Mr. Zhuang to his room to rest and asked someone to serve hot drinks and some snacks. Then he went to talk to Bai Shan and the others.

"My father's letter was vague, saying that you only received the emperor's kindness and could join the Imperial College, but why can you receive the emperor's kindness?"

Bai Shan took a sip of hot tea and said, "Because my father is a hero who is loyal to the country, the court gave me two places to enroll in my family."

Bai Dalang opened his mouth wide. He was short at home and he really didn't know about it.

Then he looked at Bai Erlang with envy in his eyes, "Erlang, your luck is really good."

Bai Erlang nodded reservedly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's average."

Bai Dalang felt that he was particularly begging for a fight at this time, but he quickly remembered the important matter, "Then you have to go to the Imperial College to report. In the past few days, students who have received the grace of the Imperial College have arrived one after another. I heard from four schools that there will be more than 40 students entering the Imperial College this time. Because they are favored by the emperor, their knowledge is uneven. This time, the Imperial College Commission will give the test papers and go to the college based on their grades."

He looked at Bai Erlang, "I'm not worried about cousin Shan. It's good to learn four of these forty people. As for you, don't be put into the calculation of the end."

Bai Shan said: "It's good to do calculations, you can go to the Ministry of Revenue in the future."

But Man Bao looked at Bai Erlang and shook his head and said, "He can't enter the calculating study, and it's difficult to learn calligraphy. If he can't enter the four schools, he should go to the law."

Bai Erlang was dissatisfied, "It is difficult for me to enter the Imperial College for thousands of people. Can't I still enter the four schools of about 40 people?"

"It depends on how knowledge other people are," Bai Shan said: "There is heaven beyond heaven and there are people beyond humans. What if these forty people are all very powerful?"

Bai Dalang also nodded, "After all, he is a hero, his family background should not be too bad. He has been studying and practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he should not be much worse."

Bai Shan asked, "Cousin may have found out who are the people who have enrolled this time?"

"I have to go back to school to inquire with my classmates." He said embarrassedly: "I have just entered Beijing not long ago, and the news is not very well-informed."

Bai Shan expressed understanding.

"But most of the students who entered the school this time were descendants of military generals, and they were very enthusiastic about martial arts. You should be careful with their classmates and don't quarrel or fight, do you know?"

The three of them couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. Bai Shan was a little worried, "Do they all know how to do kung fu?"

Then wouldn’t it be a loss if they accidentally fight?

"The general's children should have some children, right?"

Bai Shan was worried.

Daji felt that their thoughts were not good, and he couldn't help but say, "Young Master, we went to the Imperial College to study, not fight."

Manbao: "What if you accidentally start a fight?"

Bai Dalang coughed lightly and said, "Fighting is prohibited in school. If you fight at school, you will be dropped out of school if you are serious."

Man Bao said to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang: "If you are bullied, just bear it. We take such a big risk to come to the capital just to study for the examiner. You cannot be dropped out of school."

Bai Dalang asked: "What risks did you take?"

The three of them started to cough and didn't say anything.

Bai Dalang didn't care, just thought they felt that the journey was far away and suffered a lot.

What other risks can children of this age have besides these risks?

However, he still affirmed Manbao's words, "Manbao is right. This place is not as good as our family. You have a little temper outside, so don't quarrel with others."

Man Bao, who was beside him, nodded repeatedly.

Bai Dalang hesitated for a moment, and said earnestly to her: "Manbao, you are the same."

Man Bao's head froze halfway through the dot, and she said, "I never quarrel with people, nor do I ever fight with people."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang both said "bang" and looked at her with contempt.

Bai Dalang scolded them, "Look, it's easy for you to cause struggles like this. This is very wrong and needs to be changed."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang smiled at Man Bao and apologized to her under Bai Dalang's oppression.

The four of them were making a fuss here, and they had already moved everything in outside, so they wanted to go over and organize their own rooms.

Zhou Lijun wanted to live in the same house with Manbao, and a screen was still separated between the two of them. Manbao took out his book and arranged it. Zhou Lijun came to help, "My sister-in-law, we have to pay half of the rent for this house?"

Man Bao nodded, "I have already agreed with Bai Shan and Bai Er that we will pay the money ourselves, so you just need to live with peace of mind."

Zhou Lijun breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle Cai Wu and Uncle Liu just said that the rent here is so expensive. I don't know how much the shop costs."
