1222. Chapter 1222 Entering Beijing to take the exam (1)

The sun was about to set, and Lin Chengzhi, Rudie and others finally arrived in the capital.

When entering the city, he needed to check his identity. Rudie got off the carriage with Sister Han in her arms. Looking at the tall city gate, she couldn't help but say, "Dad, this city gate is so big."

Lin Chengzhi nodded and said, "This is the capital, so it's naturally big."

After the inspection, the group entered the capital. Lin Chengzhi brought Rudie's family of three to the house he bought. Brother Wen had already written it back to his name. In the future, no matter whether it was taking the exam or getting married, it would not be possible to rely on Lin Chengyu. Of course, even if he did not inherit the inheritance, he would not be able to rely on him.

For the sake of Wen Ge'er's future consideration, Lin Chengzhi took out the remaining savings and gave them to Qingshu and asked her to buy a small house.

There are six rooms in the main hall and east-west wing rooms in this house, with a patio in the middle. The entrance is the kitchen and wood.

After stepping into this courtyard, Rudie said, "Dad, how much does this house cost?"

Lin Chengzhi smiled and said, "One,650 taels of silver. This was bought by Qingshu during the government auction, otherwise he might not be able to buy two,600 taels of silver."

Although the house is not big, the location is very good. It takes a few steps to get to the street. The transportation is very convenient.

Rudie was a little confused and said, "Dad, such a small house costs more than 1,600 taels of silver?"

In Pingzhou, you can buy a house with two places with a garden for 1,600 taels of silver. There is not even a small courtyard here, except for the house, there is only a small courtyard.

Lin Chengzhi smiled and said, "The things in the capital are much more expensive than those in the home. You have to buy water for daily use here. However, there is a well in our yard. Although the water cannot be eaten, it can be used to wash clothes and bath, which can save a lot of trouble."

If he could not buy this house himself, because such a house had been targeted early in the morning, it would not be his turn.

Rudie was stunned and said, "This water cannot be drunk, so what do we drink?"

Lin Chengzhi often goes to the capital and is very familiar with the situation here: "Of course, I buy the water I drink outside. Every morning, someone will get water to sell it. We will buy a few buckets of water every day. By the way, you must hurry up early to buy water, and if it is too late, the seller will leave."

Wan Hancai didn't expect to buy even water, and he had to set a time: "Father-in-law, what if he can't catch up?"

Lin Chengzhi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you didn't buy it, just go to someone else's house to buy it."

Rudie was puzzled and asked, "Go to someone else's house to buy it?"

Lin Chengzhi pointed to the well in the middle of the yard and said, "The water in our well is astringent, so we can't drink or cook, but some people have sweet water in their homes, so many people buy water in their homes."

Wan Hancai thought it was very strange.

Rudie is more concerned about the price of these things: "Dad, how much does that bucket of water cost?"

"A large bucket costs three cents a duct, and a small bucket costs two cents a duct."

Rudie couldn't help but open her mouth and said, "Dad, this place is too expensive. It costs ninety cents to buy water in a month? This is just a drink. If you want to buy all the water in a month, it will be a big amount."

Lin Chengzhi smiled and said, "It depends on whether you can give up or not. In fact, ordinary well water can be drunk even if it boils, but it tastes bad. If you don't have money, it's more important, but I'm not used to drinking it."

The main reason is that he doesn't need this little money, so he can't be wronged.

Rudie hesitated and asked, "Then, does Qingshu also buy water to drink?"

Lin Chengzhi shook his head and said, "No, there are several wells in her house, and all the water can be drunk. However, Qingshu is more particular. The water they drink in their family is full of mountain spring water."

"Where did the mountain spring water come from?"

Lin Chengzhi explained: "Mountain spring water is the water on the mountain! However, only those wealthy families in the capital are so particular. They go to the mountains early in the morning to get mountain spring water and drink it.

Qingshu didn't send anyone to the mountains to get any mountain spring water at first. Feng Xiaoyu thought the water there was so bad that she asked the water delivery team at home to send a few buckets of water every day.

Qingshu was unwilling to accept this benefit, so he gave it three times and refused to let it go. Who would have thought that Mrs. Gu would not want to drink the well water at home after drinking that water? Qingshu could not have the ability to send someone to the mountains to get back spring water. From frugality to extravagance to extravagance to frugality, it was difficult to get used to mountain spring water. Qingshu was not used to well water even if she was used to drinking mountain spring water.

Rudie opened her mouth and said nothing in the end.

Wan Hancai didn't expect Qingshu to live so rich and elegantly. Although he had known that Qingshu had made a lot of money, he never had as strong as he is now.

Before coming, the chief clerk of Wan gave Wan a warning that he must have a good relationship with Qingshu Fu Jingen, saying that this would not only make it convenient for his scientific examination, but also greatly help his future career.

Thinking of this, Wan Hancai asked, "Father-in-law, will we visit our second sister and second brother-in-law tomorrow?"

Lin Chengzhi nodded and said, "I just asked someone to send a message to Qingshu and told her that we will be over tomorrow."

It was dark, and Rudie didn't see Brother Wen back: "Dad, why don't you go home today?"

Lin Chengzhi smiled and said, "Brother Wen lives in the school on weekdays, and he will only come back during holidays, but he basically lives in Qingshu during holidays."

Rudie nodded."

After dinner, Qingshu took Brother Fu for a walk in the garden. After returning, he received news that Lin Chengzhi and Rudie arrived in Beijing.

Yi An looked at her calm and asked strangely: "Qingshu, I remember you have a good relationship with this cousin?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "That's all the time. She has not been in contact since she got engaged.

If it is normal to say that there is no contact after getting married, it is intriguing to not contact after getting engaged. Yi An asked, "It's not that your cousin did something and that you wouldn't contact me if you make you angry, right?"

There is no family scandal in the relationship between the two. Qingshu simply told her why she didn't contact her: "We had a correspondence before this, but every time we exaggerated his fiancé in the letter. Forget it, just once or twice, but I felt that she was a little crazy."

Yi An smiled and said, "Maybe his fiancé is so good?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "My family Jingen said it is not an exaggeration to choose one from a thousand miles away, but I don't think he is rare in the sky and hard to find on the earth?"

"Why, does he have many problems?"

Seeing Qingshu nodding, Yi An said with a funny look: "Since he feels he has many problems, why are he still married?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "No one is perfect. Not only does he have many problems, but I also have many shortcomings! I think this is true."

Yi An asked with great interest: "What are the shortcomings of Fu Jingen? Tell me quickly."

Looking at her gossipy look, Qingshu shook her head and said, "This cannot be said. But if you want to know, I can tell you my shortcomings."
