Chapter 21 Search
When going out, Xiao Jinyan didn't want to conflict with others.

Fortunately, someone on the other side is reasonable, otherwise, disputes would be inevitable.

"It's just a soil turtle from a small place, what are you doing to stop us?" In the aisle, a young man asked his companion very unhappy.

"We came here for scientific research, and they didn't treat us badly, so why bother to get upset over a little thing?" The thin young man replied with a smile.

Xiao Jinyan heard it in the room, and frowned slightly.

"There are all kinds of people in the capital. Maybe you can step on a prince or grandson while walking. If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you would rather be angry than impulsive. If you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, you will break into the big one." What a disaster. Do you know?" Xiao Jinyan taught Jinchen a lesson.

"Jinyan is right, you have to change your temper here." Xiao Jinfeng also reprimanded him.

Xiao Jinchen didn't talk much in the first place, but after hearing what the two elder brothers said, he blushed and nodded.

"Okay, just say a few words. Let's tidy things up quickly." Xiao Jinyan raised her hands.

There were ready-made cabinets in the inn, and they stuffed the packages they brought into the cabinets one by one, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Jinchun carefully put her small schoolbag into it.

After finishing the work, I saw Xiao Er bringing in the food.It's just that there are very few meals, and the amount is not very sufficient, two bowls of rice, two dishes of green vegetables and fried minced meat.How is this enough to eat?

"Guest officer, it's like this. A room can only deliver food for one person. You live in each room with one more person. Naturally, you can't deliver enough food." Xiaoer explained clearly.

"You send two more copies first, and I will go to the shopkeeper to add money." Xiao Jinyan stood up and said.

Xiao Er agreed with a smile.

Xiao Jinyan hurried to the front and asked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said that one more person would add [-] Wen a day, and since there was another child, the child would be counted as [-] Wen a day.

Jin Yan quickly handed over the money, and Xiao Er also sent two more meals.

"Why is it so expensive?" Jin Chen frowned.

"It's very expensive." Xiao Jinfeng echoed, "Eat first, and then count the money we brought."

Several people finished the food in the bowl silently.

After Xiao Er came to clear away the dishes, the four brothers and sisters sat down and began to settle accounts.

When they left home, everyone brought 100 taels from the land sale, 60 taels from the rented shop, 50 taels from the dark cell and 50 taels from the Shen family, making a total of 260 taels.

In addition, Xiao Jinyan also had 200 taels of silver as a reward from the Wang family, but none of the Xiao family brothers took this into account. "That sum of money cannot be moved. When spring comes, you will have to drink medicine."

Jinfeng insisted, and Jinchen even disagreed.

Xiao Jinyan remained silent, as if acquiescing.But she was calculating in her heart, if the Fu family agreed to the marriage, 200 taels of silver would not be enough for the dowry.After all, the price of goods in the capital is so expensive, and all the money they have on them can't be sold together.

"One month's rent plus food is..." Jin Chen was distressed because he couldn't figure it out.

"It's close to eight taels of silver." Xiao Jinfeng replied.

As soon as this number came out, the brothers and sisters were all stunned.In this way, if we don't waste money, housing and food alone are enough to support us for two or three years.But in fact, Xiao Jinfeng burns money for reading. Although the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are provided by the Wang family, what about the follow-up?
There is also the management of the examination room, and even a visit to Fu's house, you can't go empty-handed.

After Lin Lin always figured it out, let alone sending Jin Chen and Jin Chun to study in the school, the living expenses alone would not last long.

"Tomorrow, we'd better ask where the Fu family lives first." Xiao Jinyan was the first to break the dull atmosphere.She is the soul of modern people. In her opinion, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

Let's talk about the future.Anyway, they haven't reached the end yet, let's take care of the things in front of them first.

At night, Xiao Jinyan was afraid that there would be mosquitoes in the house, so she asked Xiao Er if she had any incense.Xiao Er sent incense and took another five copper coins from them.Fortunately, the incense is more durable, so Xiao Jinyan didn't feel bad about it.

Probably because of a busy day, Xiao Jinyan and Jinchun slept very deeply at night.

In the early morning of the second day, after dinner, Jin Feng discussed with them about going out.

"Jinchen and Jinchun are staying at the inn until we come back, and my elder brother and I will go out together to have a look." Xiao Jinyan said, "You should review what I taught you in the inn."

"I will take Jinchun with me." Xiao Jinchen nodded solemnly.Although he is only twelve years old, he feels like an adult when he is outside the house.

Jinchun also nodded obediently, but gave Jinyan a reluctant look.

Jin Yan smiled and patted his little head, "I'll be back at noon."

After hearing this, Jinchun became happy.

After settling down the two little ones, the two brothers and sisters were ready to go out to inquire.

Xiao Jinyan was more thoughtful, instead of directly asking the shopkeeper and waiter in the inn, she and Xiao Jinfeng walked a little longer to the street to ask people.

"Excuse me, where is Fu Shidu's residence?"

"What do you read, I don't know."

Unexpectedly, the two of them asked seven or eight people in a row, and they all replied that they didn't know.

"Looking for a needle in a haystack like this, when will we find it?" Xiao Jinfeng was very distressed standing on the street.

"Excuse me, uncle, where do the officials and eunuchs live in the capital?" Xiao Jinyan thought for a while and changed the way of asking.

"The high officials all live in the east of the city." The people who were asked did not disappoint them.

The capital city is too big. If two people walk on two legs, they don't know when they will be there.So Xiao Jinyan simply rented a mule cart and went there.

The price is not cheap, about ten copper coins, this price made Xiao Jinfeng feel distressed for a long time.But considering that Jin Yan's body has been relatively weak, he finally gritted his teeth and paid the money.

The speed of the car was much faster, and the two brothers and sisters soon arrived in the east of the city.

"Excuse me, auntie, does Fu Shidu's family live here?" Xiao Jin asked a passing aunt with a smile on her face.

The aunt looked at them very vigilantly, and found that they were handsome and young, so her vigilance was slightly reduced, "Are you here to visit relatives?"

"Yes." Xiao Jinyan didn't hide anything either.

"There are no Fu Shidu here. Those who can live here must at least be officials of the fourth grade or above. For the Shidu of the Imperial Academy, you have to go to the west of the city to find them. Most of the people living there are merchants. Or officials of the fourth and fifth ranks." The aunt told them with experience.

"Thank you, aunt." After Xiao Jinyan thanked the enthusiastic aunt, she turned to look at Xiao Jinfeng, "Don't be discouraged, let's go to the west of the city to have a look."

"It's getting late, Jinchen and the others are still waiting in the inn. Let's go back and have lunch before going out to look for it." Xiao Jinfeng's morale was a little low.

He saw the surrounding mansions clearly, all of them were very tall, and the stone lions at the entrance looked scary.For the future father-in-law, his uneasiness prevailed.

The two had no choice but to spend another copper coin and go back in a donkey cart.

"Brother, did you find someone?" Jin Chen asked eagerly.

Xiao Jinfeng shook his head feebly, lacking energy at all.

Jin Chen gave him a worried look, and had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart, and stopped asking.

"I'll find it, I already have a clue." Xiao Jinyan replied with a smile.She has always been an optimist, believing that there are no unsolvable problems in the world.

"Your health is not good, you'd better stay in the inn and rest. I'll go alone in the afternoon." Xiao Jinfeng couldn't bear to say.

"It's okay, I'm not tired. The two of us will go there together in the afternoon." Xiao Jinyan replied with a smile.

 Thank you all for your support, I have applied for a single book signing, and everything will probably be normal next Monday.
