Chapter 254

Her mother quickly hit her lightly and said: "That's someone else. Is your brother-in-law someone else? He is what Zhang Banxian said. He will be a general or a prime minister in the future, and he will be a first-class official. If he doesn't have a position, he can squeeze out a position.

Give him, if his luck comes, it won't be a problem for the emperor to add another position, right?"

Everyone kept saying yes

Su Jinsong was the only one who looked worried about gains and losses even though he was happy. A good daughter is like a mother. Su’s mother knew her daughter’s thoughts to some extent and said quickly: “Are you worried that my husband is alone in the capital and has no one to take care of him?”

Su Jinsong's eyes turned red when her mother said exactly what she was thinking. She said, "Yes, Beijing is no better than Yunduan County. Everything is more expensive there, and renting a house is even more expensive. We don't need much here."

If you have enough money, you can live in a big house. Even if you spend five taels of silver a month in the capital, you may not be able to build a decent courtyard, let alone a big courtyard. And our family, if we follow Mr. Xiangong there

If I go to the capital, there is no place to live, so what should I do?"

Qiu Wuhen said: "Don't worry, I think we should go together as a family, otherwise I wouldn't worry about leaving you at home. Besides, this is a haunted house."

"It's easy to say, the capital is so expensive, your salary is not enough to rent a house!"

"If we sell all the chickens, ducks, fish, and vegetables, can we save some money? Plus the money we saved in the past few days."

"I haven't thought about this."

"Hurry up and do the math. Get rid of them first. Anyway, I still need a few days to do the handover work before we set off. We have to hire a few carriages to get to the capital, and we have to deal with the traffic on the way. All these have to be taken into account. Let's see.

How much money is left for us to get to the capital in the end? By the way, did the ten dollars I transferred outside this time come to me?"

Su Jinsong had been caught up in the news of her husband's promotion and had forgotten everything. When her husband asked about this, she immediately said: "Yes, yes, it's been delivered, as well as food and silk."

"Sell all these things. We only bring money and a change of clothes for the road. We will buy them when we get there. Otherwise, it will take at least a month to walk from here to the capital. The journey is so long. It may be inconvenient to carry heavy things.

It's better to sell it here and then buy it in the capital, which saves trouble on the road and the price is about the same."

Everyone agreed, and then Grandma Su ordered to sell the existing things in the house. Their chicken, duck, and fish were very popular, and they were the favorite in the restaurant. It was a pity that there were so many laying hens, which all lay eggs. Of course, because

The chickens that laid eggs also sold for a high price. Except for preparing some rations for the road, everything else was sold. This time I got one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

This number surprised and delighted everyone, as they did not expect to sell so many.

With these one hundred and twenty taels of silver, at least he no longer has to worry about traveling on the road. In addition, Su Jinsong had saved some money before, and when he arrived in the capital, he estimated that he would still have at least one hundred taels to rent a house, but even if he took all the 100 taels

Come to rent a house, Grandma Su will not do it. The family can make a lot of money from the breeding industry. After arriving in the capital, they will continue to engage in the breeding industry, buy some chickens and ducks to raise, including growing vegetables, step by step.

Start the breeding industry.

The Su family has already benefited from the breeding industry. This is a way to do it. There is no need to go through crooked ways and there is no need to worry about money.

During this period, Niu Shui Tank also went to ask his father for instructions. Of course, his father insisted that Niu Shui Tank follow Qiu Wuhen to the capital and serve the master by his side.

Qiu Wuhen agreed. Qian Jinzhi was overjoyed when he got the news and came over to congratulate him. However, Qian Jinzhi was a little sad and told Qiu Wuhen that she could not go to the capital to open a medicine shop with Qiu Wuhen. Jinzhitang was in the clouds.

The county is considered one of the best, but if she wants to go to the capital, she will be at the bottom. What kind of drug store is not available in the capital at the feet of the emperor? She will only be kicked out by others if she goes there.

The reason why she followed Qiu Wuhen to the Transcendental Viewing was because of money. But this time she had to go to the capital and couldn't make any money. She didn't dare to leave everything behind after traveling thousands of miles away, so she could only sigh in despair.

Qiu Wuhen went to Li Zheng and told him about his promotion and that he wanted to vacate the haunted house. He told him that the haunting of the haunted house had been dealt with and that it would no longer be haunted. He could rent it for a good price if he wanted to.

, and everything was cleaned up. Li Zheng called the distant uncle of the Xie family and looked at the whole thing. He was very happy and thought that such a house could be rented out. Naturally, he was very grateful to Qiu Wuhen.

Master Yin Ling left the Xie family's house after it was no longer haunted by ghosts, and went to find a place with ghosts to practice. Because there were no ghosts, there was no progress in her practice, although she knew that the so-called ghosts before were nothing more than ghosts.

Auditory hallucinations are just special sounds produced by a special structure underground, and are not real ghosts. Qiu Wuhen destroyed the structure to make the sounds disappear, making her believe this. But even though she knew about it

, but did not think this could deny that her method of using ghosts to practice cultivation was wrong, so she left the Su family after that and went to find another place with a tomb to practice cultivation.

Qiu Wuhen had already completed the handover and hired carriages and horses. The family set out for the capital in a simple and easy manner.

There was nothing to say all the way, and we walked for more than half a month before we arrived in the capital. After all, it was a long journey, especially since there were many young girls, young wives, and old ladies on the road, and they could not withstand the long bumps. So Qiu Wuhen was not in a hurry.

He was on his way, taking a rest wherever there was a place to rest, staying when it got dark, and walking slowly along the way so as not to be too tired. Therefore, he wasted some time, and after about twenty days, he finally arrived in the capital.

When we arrived at Shuntian Mansion, we saw from a distance the tall and majestic city wall towering on the horizon, surrounded by the vast plains. Before we even reached the foot of the city wall, we could already see a series of houses. After Zhu Di moved the capital to Shuntian Mansion, the population increased dramatically.

Tianfu City has long been out of habitation, and there are already large areas of residential buildings surrounding the city wall, forming an outer city.

When I came to the foot of the city wall, I looked up at the tall towers and felt a solemn feeling. The wide moat was rippling with blue waves. No one was allowed to live in a certain area along the moat. Firstly, it was unsafe, and secondly, in the event of a war.

, these boundaries are defensive zones used to erect various facilities to prevent enemy troops from attacking the city.

So when we get to the moat, we can see a wide field of view and see very far away. Two iron chains as thick as arms are hanging left and right, which always makes people feel uneasy. Of course, this is for modern people who are used to walking on reinforced concrete bridges.

Generally speaking, there are so many carriages and horses walking on the wooden plank bridge. It is shaky and unstable, and it always feels unsteady. And this suspension bridge only has two carriages running parallelly. If something happens, once it gets stuck, it will be blocked.

.

Their carriage entered the gate of the capital smoothly. The soldiers guarding the city did not check. It had been peaceful and prosperous for many years. Although there were frequent wars in the north, it was still far away from the capital. Everything was peaceful here. They rode into the capital. Qiu Wu

Hen had been excitedly holding up the sedan curtain and looking around.

Although it has already entered autumn, the weather is still very hot, and it is very stuffy in the carriage. Lifting the curtains allows for ventilation, and secondly, you can see the scenery of the capital. My wife Su Jinsong beside me is not interested because she has been in the capital since she was a child.

She grew up, but later her family fell into decline, and she left the capital and returned to her hometown. Now she is back again, which is somewhat sentimental. Apart from being sentimental, she is not looking around as excitedly as Qiu Wuhen. To her, these scenery

It couldn't be more familiar.

Qiu Wuhen went to Mingshan Village to resurrect the corpse, so he had no impression of the capital at all. Although he had been to modern Beijing many times, Beijing in the Ming Dynasty was completely different from modern Beijing, and it was not as fancy as seen in movies and TV shows.

, but it looks a bit old and simple, just like an old photo.

However, the crowds were very lively, and the vendors on the street were shouting and shouting one after another. Various banners were hung like colorful flags, fluttering in the wind on both sides of the narrow alley.

They had already discussed it on the way. In order to facilitate Qiu Wuhen's reporting, they temporarily booked two rooms, one large and one small, in an inn near the official department. The large room was occupied by all the female relatives, and the small room was occupied by Qiu Wuhen and his wife Su Jinsong.

, but the apprentice Niu Shuitan Datongpu was really reluctant to give up the money and opened a single room for him. After all, he was already eleven or twelve years old, and it was inconvenient to live with a group of female dependents.

Qiu Wuhen knew that he could not last long with this little money. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to go to Zhu Qi at this time. After thinking about it, he wrote a greeting note and prepared to go to Prince Tan.

Soon the steward of the Prince's Mansion personally took Qiu Wuhen from the inn to the Prince's Mansion with the Prince's carriage.

As soon as they got out of the car, the concierge at the door kindly stepped forward and helped Qiu Wuhen out of the car, and said with a smile: "Master Qiu, you are here. Your Majesty has already sent people to the door to check on you twice."

Qiu Wuhen knew that he, a seventh-grade official, was nothing in the capital, and that he was here for the prince's palace. These villains were just looking at the prince's face, so he responded politely and nodded, neither humble nor overbearing.

These servants, who were used to seeing the emperor's relatives, couldn't help but admire him secretly.

"Boss, you are finally here. I originally wanted to send someone to pick you up, but I was afraid that the people in the Inspectorate would find out and have something to say. They would keep an eye on me. If I get closer to any minister, I will be arrested.

That’s what they said. So please forgive me for not being far away.”

Qiu Wuhen had just entered the second door when he saw Zhu Qi from a distance wearing a sky blue round collar robe, a wide white belt embroidered with brocade patterns around his waist, a jade crown with black hair, and a smile on his face.

He walked quickly towards him.

Qiu Wuhen was naturally very happy and hurried forward to greet him.

"I know your situation, how can I let you, a prince, pick me up?"

The two of them entered the palace while laughing and chatting, and went all the way to the reception room. The guests and hosts were seated and served fragrant tea.
