Chapter 293 First Arrival in the Capital
"That's right, Chu Hong was originally smart and talented in reading. If he can go to the Imperial College, he will definitely improve rapidly!" Chu Xuan immediately smiled happily, but the smile was very forced.

However, Zhu Fugui was so happy that his good brother could go to the Imperial College, he was so excited that he didn't have any extra thoughts to think about other things.

Chu Xuan looked at the crowd gathered together, threw Chu Hong into the sky and caught it again, back and forth, beaming with joy.

But what should I do?
After Chu Hong went to the Imperial College, Sister Chu and the little girl were going to the capital, so he was the only one left in the family.

Although Mother entrusted him to Sister Chu before she left, he couldn't ask to go to the capital with them!
Where is that in Beijing?
Every inch of land is worth every inch of gold.

Living in the capital cost many times more than here!
Originally, Chu Hong went to the Imperial College to study, which was a huge expense. If he also followed, the Imperial College would definitely not be able to get in. Even if he went to other academies, the expenses would definitely be higher than here. How could he do such an excessive thing? Require?
However, if he stayed here, Chu Hong was smarter than him and got better teaching from his master, wouldn't he never catch up with him?

Chu Xuan felt that he had gotten into the corner of the horns and couldn't get out.

Ever since he heard the news that Chu Hong was going to the Imperial College, his heart was in a mess. He didn't even have the time to attend class, and he was even more worried.

It wasn't until Chu Chu arrived at the academy that he took Chu Hong home, packed up some of the daily things in the room, and waited until he went to the capital to use them.

Although they made money, neither Chu Chu nor Chu Hong knew that people who were extravagant and wasteful would definitely continue to use what they could use and would not just throw it away.

Chu Xuan also came to help, and moved it to the carriage bit by bit. It didn't take long before it was tidied up.

"Are you going to leave tomorrow?" Chu Xuan, who had moved his things, looked at Chu Chu and asked.

"It's so fast, I always give you a time to pack up." Chu Chu said.

"Us?" Chu Xuan looked at her puzzled.

"You don't want to go with us?" Chuchu was surprised.

"No! No! No! Of course I wanted to, but you want to take me with you?" Chu Xuan no longer knew what attitude he would use to face this matter.

Shocked, surprised, excited, all kinds of emotions came together, and I was a little overwhelmed.

"The three of us have gone, so you naturally want to follow. Isn't this a matter of course? Don't tell me you've been thinking of staying by yourself these days?" Chu Chu asked in surprise.

Chu Xuan was a little embarrassed, his little face turned red, but he still nodded.

Chu Chu didn't know what to say anymore, she rubbed his little head, "I've said it before, what about Ah Hong, what about you, how could I leave you here alone?"

Although Chu Xuan was very moved, the anxiety in his heart still existed, "Will it cost a lot of money to study in the capital?"

Chu Chu glanced at Chu Hong, why both of them only know about money?Could it be that this is the genetic problem of the Chu family?
"Since you know it will cost you a lot of money, then study hard and be your sister and me in the future, you know?" Chu Chu looked serious.

Chu Xuan nodded heavily, clenched his fists tightly, and the appearance of secretly making up his mind is really cute.

"Go and pack your things!" Chu Chu urged with a smile, and Chu Xuan ran away in an instant.

Many students in the academy could only look at Chu Xuan with envy. They also want such a sister, okay?

He is pretty, can make money, has a good personality, can make all kinds of snacks, and can write scripts, and now he is even taking him to the capital!

God!

Why isn't such a good sister mine?
Under the envious eyes of a group of people, Chu Xuan moved away his belongings, said goodbye to his classmates, and left the academy.

Yunshui Town is more than a thousand miles away from the capital. In order to travel, Chuchu bought another carriage. The original carriage at home was left for the shop to deliver goods. Liu prepared a lot of food for storage and made thick quilts. , worrying that if they can't catch up with the inn on the way, sleeping in the carriage will not be so cold.

Before Chu Chu left, she left 1000 taels of silver for them as a backup. This amount of silver was enough for them to deal with all kinds of emergencies in such a village.

Ye Yi naturally followed Chu Chu and his party to the capital, and the safety along the way was entirely dependent on Ye Yi. It was precisely because of this that the Chu family agreed to their entry into the capital.

After walking on the road for half a day, when the few people were about to eat something to fill their stomachs, Chu Chu discovered that there were two 100 taels of silver bills in the package of Liu's dry food.

Chu Chu knew that this was almost all of the family's continuation, and it was the profit of the shop for half a year. A warm current flowed through Chu Chu's heart. Parents are always worried about their children and are willing to give them everything.

Chu Chu put away the 200 taels of bank notes and put them against her chest.

Although the road is far away, Chu Chu will tell stories to the little Doudings around him when he is on the way. This story telling is different from the storytelling in the teahouse before. After hearing the stories, Chu Chu will always ask them some questions and let them say Speak your mind, and there is an added bonus for speaking well.

Everyone didn't feel that the days of rushing were boring. Telling stories, listening to stories, and answering questions were the main content of this group of people every day. Finally, when Chu Chu had told "Journey to the West" for a little while, they arrived in the capital. , the severe winter has passed, and the early spring has arrived.

The capital, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The city is lively and bustling, full of voices.

There are row upon row of restaurants and shops.

The streets are crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.

The three little ones, Chu Qianyue, Chu Hong, and Chu Xuan, were already shocked by the scene in front of them. They had never seen such excitement before. Even Chu Chu's eyes flashed with shock, but it was only for a short time. For a moment, it's just for the simplicity and prosperity here.

"Mother, there are more people here than An Dong City." Chu Qianyue said excitedly, tugging on Chu Chu's sleeve.

"This is the capital, even the imperial palace is here, so it's not comparable to our border city." Chu Chu explained with a smile.

"It's so lively here! There are jugglers over there!" Chu Hong propped his neck and looked.

"There are also jugglers over there! There are many people around!" Chu Xuan asked, pointing to the other side.

"Okay, don't look at it for now, let's find an inn to live in first, and then solve the problem of the two of you studying. We will live in the capital in the future, and you can watch the excitement here anytime!"

Chu Chu said with a smile.

Only then did the three withdraw their gazes, and obediently followed Chuchu's side, but when they encountered novel things, they still couldn't help but take a sneak peek at them.

Although Chu Chu is not short of money now, but thinking about the future expenses, she still saves, chose a similar inn, and asked for three rooms, this is their habit along the way.

Chu Hong and Chu Xuan shared a room, Chu Chu and Chu Qianyue shared a room, and Ye Yi shared a room.

But this time Ye Yi refused, "I don't need it, this place is not far from Ye Mansion, I'll go back to the mansion and see what happened!"

Chu Chu nodded, but still asked for three rooms, "Since Ye Yixiao asked you to follow me, even if my relationship with him changes, I guess you still won't be able to go back, the room is still needed."

Ye Yidao didn't feel anything, and followed Chuchu more freely.

"Ma'am, wait for my news." After Ye Yi cupped his fists and saluted, he left the inn directly.

Chu Chu packed all kinds of things swiftly. She thought a lot along the way, and thought about meeting Ye Yixiao a lot, but when she actually arrived in the capital, she suddenly became less anxious.

Things always work out.

Chu Hong and Chu Xuan are very hands-on now, so without Chu Chu's help, Liu has already packed their things neatly and properly.

The two groups of people came out of the room almost at the same time, "Sister, what shall we have for lunch?" Chu Hong asked excitedly.

"Go down and see what's going on, this is our first day in the capital, we should celebrate and eat something delicious!" Chu Chu said with a smile.

"Great!" Chu Xuan and Chu Hong clapped their hands happily. The two who had never been to the capital were extremely excited.

There were a lot of guests in the lobby, only the table by the window. The guests had just paid their bills. Chu Xuan and Chu Hong saw that their small bodies directly passed through the gap between the dining tables, sat on the chairs, and took the seat first.

The two young and beautiful girls who had just entered the door were being led by Xiao Er, but they were cut off by two boys, and their expressions immediately became unhappy.

"Where are you two brats? Hurry up and make room for Ms. Ye and Ms. Mu!" Xiao Er taunted and chased them away, then immediately changed his face, looking at Ye Yiyi and Mu Bailian with a flattering expression, "Wait a moment, both of you. The matter here is small and needs to be dealt with immediately.”

"Hurry up, don't spoil our interest in eating!" Mu Bailian said, her face was still a little ugly.

"Yes, yes, I'm so young, let's go!" Xiao Er immediately walked to the table quickly.

"Tell me, what are the special dishes in your store?" Chu Hong rushed to speak before Xiao Er, who was so blocked that Xiao Er, who originally wanted to chase someone away, choked back his words and almost choked.

"With your expression, don't you have special dishes in your store?" Chu Xuan asked in surprise.

Xiao Er was about to open his mouth when Chu Hong took the words, "Although this is not a restaurant but an inn, if there are no special dishes, how can we attract customers?"

"That's right, it's better to have a few special dishes, I believe there will be more customers in your store!" Chu Xuan said seriously.

Xiao Er was furious, "What do you two children know? You are talking nonsense here! Get out of the way! Don't delay our business!"

"We want to eat! Isn't this a business?" Chu Hong looked at Xiao Er in surprise.

"And we're still living here, so we're already your customers. If you don't have special dishes in your restaurant, what dish do you order the most?" Chu Xuan turned the topic to the point of ordering.

Xiao Er failed to open his mouth twice, and thought of the two young ladies standing behind him, he felt even more anxious. He looked at the clothes and accessories of Chu Hong and Chu Xuan, they were made of ordinary materials, and even a jade pendant around his waist No, and there is no servant around, so I immediately guessed the identities of the two of them.

"Don't make trouble here! The special dishes of our store are not affordable for you two children! You leave now, and I will not pursue today's matter!"

The mocking tone made the two of them frown. They encountered such things quite often along the way, especially when passing through some big towns on the way.

The mood of the two also changed from being angry at the beginning to frowning slightly, looking at such a problem calmly.

"Uncle, Uncle, do you have chicken legs? I want to eat chicken legs! Xiaohong wants to eat too!" Chu Qianyue came over at some point, and sat firmly on the chair.

"Xiaoer, how long do you want us to wait? Why don't we just drive them away?" Mu Bailian stepped forward, frowning and asked.

"Miss Mu, they are also customers in the store, so..." Xiao Er was a little embarrassed.

Mu Bailian directly took out five taels of silver ingots, put them on the table, and said proudly, "Take the silver, I'll take this one."

"Yo, Miss Mu is really rich and powerful, but I'm really sorry, we also have to eat, Miss Mu can find another place." Chuchu walked over and sat down on the only vacant chair.

Mu Bailian looked at the person in front of her in shock, she was speechless for a while, no wonder why she thought that little girl looked so familiar just now?

"How expensive are your special dishes, so expensive that we can't afford even one dish?" Chu Chu slightly raised her eyebrows, looked at Xiao Er who was stunned, and mocked lightly.

"Madam, please forgive me. Our special sauce duck, drunken chicken, what would you like to eat?" The shopkeeper came over and asked enthusiastically.

"I've got them all. In addition, add peanut and egg drop soup!" Chu Chu said.

"Okay, ma'am, wait a minute." The shopkeeper said with a smile, and immediately gave the waiter a look, and the waiter was excited, and immediately went to the kitchen to report the menu.

The shopkeeper turned his head and walked up to Mu Bailian, "Miss Mu, this way please, there is an empty table here."

Only then did Mu Bailian come to her senses, but instead of talking to the shopkeeper, she walked towards Chuchu, "You came here to look for Brother Xiao, right? It's a pity, Brother Xiao is going to marry the Seventh Princess of Xiliang soon!"

"You are a peasant woman, you should stand aside! Chasing a man has come to the capital, you are really thick-skinned!" Mu Bailian sneered, seeing Chuchu, it was really a new and old hatred, and it rushed out instantly. heart.

Chu Chu poured a glass of water for all three children, without even looking at Mu Bailian, she just said lightly, "Ye Yixiao married the Seventh Princess of Xiliang, not you, what are you so happy about?"

Mu Bailian was choked, but her mouth was still unrelenting, "Huh, I admit that I lost to the Seventh Princess, whoever made me inferior in status! But you—"

She snorted coldly, "Don't think that brother Xiao will treat you as love when he gives you some good looks! A joke! Brother Xiao, a majestic scholar, the next elder, will he take a fancy to you, a peasant girl?"

"He's just a novelty for a while, it's better for you to be a little self-aware, and leave the capital as soon as possible, so as not to humiliate yourself!"
