After a slight pause, she added: "Even if my brother and I come back, the house is still cold. If you can live in, it will be lively."
Yan Funing frowned slightly: "Cousin?"
Pang Anmeng said: "Yes, my cousin is also living in my house now. My grandmother is old and needs someone to accompany her."
Yan Funing declined politely: "We have already found a place to live, so we won't go to expensive places. The house is in trouble.”
The book states that Pang Anmeng’s marriage was interfered with by her cousin.
Now Pang Anmeng escaped from marriage and returned to Beijing, which is different from what was written in the book.
Besides, they had just met and it was even more difficult for her to say anything about something that they had not yet figured out.
I had to ask casually: "Last time I heard you said that you have many cousins. How is your relationship with your cousins?"
Pang Anmeng said: "Good or bad, that's it. Right."
Yan Funing nodded.
From what she means, you should understand the character of your cousin, and hope she can be more vigilant.
After dinner, Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing said goodbye to the Pang brothers and sisters and returned to the inn.
After packing their bags and paying the bill, the four of them boarded the carriage and went to the Zhuangyuan Hall.
Registered at the hotel, took the key, and entered the small courtyard that I had originally chosen.
In the room, there is a bed and furniture, and there is firewood and a pot in the small kitchen.
You have to prepare your own cotton towels, washbasin, tableware, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. for washing.
Fortunately, the shops around the clubhouse offer such daily necessities.
After buying all the necessary items, I then arranged the bedroom and study. Once I got busy, it was getting dark.
Yan Funing and Fu Ciyi discussed: "It's very late for us to cook for ourselves now. Let's go to the canteen to order food tonight and start cooking by ourselves tomorrow, okay?"
With only one burner, it takes a long time to cook rice and vegetables.
"Okay." Fu Ciyi agreed.
The four of them went to the dining hall of the guild hall.
There were very few guests eating in the dining hall, which showed that the business of Zhuangyuan Hall was not very good.
Seeing that all the guests seemed to have this doubt, and some were even whispering about moving to Gaosheng Guild Hall, the shopkeeper couldn't hold it in any longer and said loudly: "My hotel opened in the year it just opened. The words on the sign are exactly what the top pick was. It’s not like we have never won the top prize, so we still have something.”
After that, his voice became lower and lower.
Fu Ciyi took Yan Funing and the others to find a table against the wall and sit down.
Yan Funing ordered four dishes and one soup.
The quantity is not large, but it is the most ordered among the guests present.
The waiter immediately said excitedly: "There are fish, shrimps, ducks, and pork legs. Candidates use their brains more, so they should eat more."
Yan Funing nodded: "Exactly this Manager, please serve the food quickly.”
"Okay." The waiter trotted to the kitchen.
The shopkeeper came over and said to Fu Ciyi and the others: "Those who live in Datongpu, and those with some financial resources have gone to live in the nearby guild hall. To be honest, it's hard for me to make a living here!"< br>
Yan Funing raised her eyes and asked: "How do you say that?"
The shopkeeper sighed: "Our guild hall is mainly engaged in the business of examinees. The imperial examination is held every three years, so we make some money at this time. ”
But I don’t know what’s going on in my own club?
After becoming the top pick in high school, no top pick has stayed in his clubhouse in more than ten years.
Not only that, there were not many students who lived in his guild hall and won the Jinshi.
Who doesn’t want to get good grades?
Some students are very particular about staying in a hotel with a good meaning. If things go on like this, fewer people will come to stay.
Yan Funing said softly: "The nearby guild hall wants a seal recommendation, which shows that there are people behind it. If each state capital introduces the top few students from Qiuwei to the nearby guild hall, your guild hall will have its turn again. How many people are there?”
"Girl, welcome!"
The shopkeeper gave Yan Funing a thumbs up.
He just has no backing.
“There are also students from poor families who excel.” Yan Funing smiled, “The shopkeeper can persist in this business for more than ten years, so he might as well persist, maybe this year will be different.”
The shopkeeper nodded: "Thank you for your good wishes!" Yan Funing thought for a while and asked: "Does the shopkeeper have any idea of converting his guild hall into an inn or restaurant?"
The shopkeeper said frankly: "I have had this idea, but the location of the club is just here. After all, it is not in a busy city, and it is not an inn or restaurant."
After a few more chats, the dishes are served. Yan Funing and the others began to eat, while the shopkeeper returned to the counter.
Back in the courtyard, Fu Ciyi said: "Are you planning to open a restaurant in the capital?"
Yan Funing did not hide anything from him, and said bluntly: "Indeed, business is good. Most of the restaurants are in the busy city, especially those on Zhuque Street.”
Although Gongyuan is considered to be a major area of the capital, there are probably no people there at ordinary times, except during imperial examinations.
Liu Ji wanted to open a semicolon in the capital, and it was difficult to choose a location.
"I have only been in the capital for a day or two. Listen more and read more, and you will be satisfied with the location."
After that, Fu Ciyi stepped into the study.
In the study room, the bookshelves and desks are arranged, which looks pretty decent.
"Fu Ciyi, I like to hear what you say."
Yan Funing followed in.
Li Xinheng and Caiyu were not idle. They lit lanterns, chopped firewood and cleaned the yard.
Water was drawn from the well to wash the stone floor of the yard.
At late night, the two of them returned to the left and right rooms respectively.
Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing went back to the bedroom to sleep.
It was a strange bed after all, and it was already morning when she woke up this morning. Yan Funing was not sleepy at the moment, so she turned over.
Unexpectedly, the bed creaked.
Only turning over, the bed made two noises.
In the quiet night, the sound is especially ambiguous and makes people think.
"This bed is wrong. I have to ask the shopkeeper to help change it tomorrow."
"Let me take a look."
Fu Ciyi sat up.
Following his movements, the bed creaked again, and his handsome face immediately turned red.
He took a deep breath, held the lamp and looked, it was a bamboo bed.
When he reached out and pushed, the bed shook.
Crunch.
Yan Funing held down his hand: "Don't push."
The courtyard is small and the rooms are close together. It is not good for others to hear such a sound.
The man said: "When you made the bed, you didn't check whether it was shaking?"
"The bed we slept on in the past made very little noise. I thought this bed was the same, so I didn't check it."
"It's okay."
The man opened the door and left the room, and came back a short time later. Hold four thin sticks of wood.
The wooden strips were stuffed into the four corners of the bed, and the bed immediately became firm.
Yan Funing rolled around on the bed and found that the noise was much quieter. She smiled and praised: "Fu Ciyi, you are so powerful!"
"Flatterer." The man cleaned his hands slowly, "Go to sleep."
——
Early the next morning, Yan Funing took Li Xinheng and Caiyu to go out to buy some ingredients.
Before she even reached the door of the guild hall, she saw an acquaintance.
No, three to be precise.
Lu Wenfeng also saw Yan Funing and was surprised: "Miss Yan, why are you here?"
Yan Funing glanced at Lu Wenfeng, and then at Zhang Tong and Zhang Tie who were moving their luggage: "Those words It's my turn to ask you."
Lu Wenfeng shook his head and sighed: "It's a long story."
Zhang Tong came in and lowered his voice: "Some people have been saying that he is a coward. , saying that he has brought shame on the Lu family, who can continue to live there?" (End of Chapter)
