Originally, Shen Yi lived in Prince Jin's Mansion to hide himself from others. After all, he was now well-known in Jiankang. If he lived outside, it would be inevitable that many people would come to visit him or even make friends with him.
It's okay if it's a stranger and it's easy to refuse. But if it's a student from Ganquan Academy or someone brought by classmates from Ganquan Academy, it won't be easy to deal with.
That's why Shen Yi lived in Prince Jin's Mansion to study, wanting to be quiet without anyone disturbing him.
But now living in Prince Jin's Mansion is no longer quiet, and you will be disturbed by the little princess Li Shu and her people, so there is no need to live in Prince Jin's Mansion anymore.
After all, Shen Yi is not short of money now. Although it is not enough to buy a house in Jiankang City, it is more than enough to rent a house.
In the afternoon of that day, Shen Yi left Jin Prince's Mansion and went to a dental shop in Jiankang City to find a dentist to rent a house for him.
However, it was difficult to find a suitable house for a day or two. Shen Yi was not in a hurry. After considering his own needs, he just found a hotel and stayed.
He has an examination card issued by Jiangdu Prefecture. This thing is much more useful than the government's photo stickers and road guides. He can stay in any hotel in Jiankang City.
In fact, it's not that he can't deal with Xu Fu and the others for a few days. It's just that the house Xu Fu rented was too small and only had two beds. If Shen Yi wanted to live there, even though he wouldn't have to share a bed with two little guys, it would still be a big deal.
The two little guys are about to sleep together.
The dental clinic in Jiankang City was relatively more professional than the dental clinic in Jiangdu Prefecture. Early the next morning, the people from the dental clinic began to show Shen Yi various houses.
At this time, the business in Jiankang City had prospered to a certain extent, and the leasing industry was relatively mature. Shen Yi spent a day and finally rented a small courtyard in the center of Jiankang City.
It is worth mentioning that the geographical center of Jiankang City is not the economic center of Jiankang City, because the imperial city is in the north near Zhongshan, so Jiankang North City is the real "city center".
However, even if you are not renting in the center of the city, the price for such a small courtyard is not low. The initial price was 5 taels of silver a month. After Shen Yi's bargaining, it was finally reduced to 50 taels of silver a year.
"God's Coming"
Because the leasing industry is mature, the landlord needs to bring the deed to Shen Yi for review, and then both parties go to Jiankang Mansion to sign the contract. The person in Jiankang Mansion who is responsible for this task will "notarize" it, and then the contract will be considered established.
The specific process is actually not much different from renting a house in later generations.
After working all day, Shen Yi completed all the procedures in the evening and successfully obtained the key to the yard.
That night, Xu Fu and Ding Man did not go out to do business anymore, but helped Shen Yi clean up the newly rented yard.
The three of them worked hard all night before clearing out the yard. It was already approaching April and the weather was getting hotter. The three of them sat in the yard, breathing heavily.
After finally cleaning up, Shen Yi fetched a large bucket of well water from the yard. Each of the three people took a ladle and drank the cold water in big gulps.
After the three people recovered, Shen Yi slumped down on the stone steps in the yard, looked at the two little guys, and gasped: "There are... five or six houses here. You two can live in them if you want."
."
Xu Fu lowered his head slightly, shook his head and said: "Master, it's good for us to live in that small courtyard. Besides, the lease there has not expired yet, and we are noisy preparing food during the day. Master wants to study in peace, so we will not come to disturb him."
Already."
Shen Yi nodded and said with a smile: "In two years, we will buy him a big house in Jiankang, and we can all live in it."
Xu Fu also had a smile on his face: "I'm not afraid of young master's jokes. The other day I went to ask about the house prices in Jiankang. They were already ridiculously high. The house I rented with my third son would cost more than a thousand taels of silver if sold.
!”
Speaking of this, Xu Fu looked around at the house Shen Yi rented and said with emotion: "If this is the house where the young master lives,
I’m afraid it will cost seven or eight thousand taels.”
Shen Qilang chuckled: "You guys, your horizons are too short. Those mansions at the root of the imperial city cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions of taels of silver..."
After the two chatted for a while, Shen Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Xu Fu: "Seeing that the weather is about to get hotter, Xiao Xu, if you have nothing to do, you can go for a run at the houses in the suburbs of Beijing.
If the price is right, we can buy a full cellar or half a cellar of ice."
Xu Fu scratched his head and said: "Master, we are not hot, so we don't need ice to relieve the heat..."
In this era, there were ice houses that specialized in making and selling ice. These ice houses would dig ice cubes in the winter, and then dig cellars to hide the ice in the ice houses. In the summer, they could push the ice to the city and sell it to the people in the city.
Gentlemen, cool off from the heat.
Shen Yi frowned slightly and said, "I'm not here to keep you cool. If you buy some ice, you can try selling iced food on the banks of the Qinhuai River. I'll teach you how to do it."
In fact, in addition to buying ice, you can also use saltpeter to make ice, but the latter is too inefficient and difficult to use on a large scale, so it is better to just buy ice.
Xu Fu already trusted Shen Yi very much at this time. Hearing this, he nodded and agreed without much hesitation.
After Shen Yi finished resting, he took the two little guys out for a late-night snack, and then the three of them dispersed.
In the next few days, Shen Yi spent most of the time decorating his new home or buying some daily necessities such as pots and pans. By the time he had prepared everything in the yard and was able to officially move in, the time had come.
It was at the end of March in the sixth year of Hongde.
In other words, the Jiankang Hospital Examination will be issued soon.
On March 28th, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com Jiankang Academic Affairs Office posted a notice that this year’s Jiankang Academy Examination will be officially held three days later, on the first day of April.
As one of the candidates for this year's college examination, Shen Yi, who was tinkering with the stove at home, heard about this incident and came to the door of Xuezheng Yamen early in the morning to see the notice posted by Xuezheng Yamen.
At this moment, Shen Yi felt a little nervous.
Although he was 70% to 80% sure of winning the prize, there was still a 20% to 30% chance of not winning.
This year is the year of the rural examination. If he fails the college examination this year, it means that he will have to wait at least three years before he can take the provincial examination. It also means that his entry into officialdom will have to be postponed for at least three years.
Three years is already a term for an official!
One term of office can already determine an official’s promotion and transfer, as well as an official’s future in the officialdom!
With some anxiety in mind, Shen Yi first went to Liquan Tower to read for a long time, and then returned to his new home. He spent two days plowing up a small vegetable garden in the corner of the yard and planting it.
Some flowers and plants.
In this era, there is no need to grow your own vegetables. The vegetables sold on the street every day are pollution-free vegetables. For the sake of his own physical and mental comfort, Shen Yi naturally planted flowers in the yard.
By the time Shen Yi finished his work in the yard, April came quietly.
In other words, it’s the day when the hospital’s test results are released.
On this day, Shen Qilang got up early, put on new clothes that he had not put on when he met the princess, and strode towards the Xuezheng Yamen.
His first step forward in this world is finally about to be taken.
