This time they brought all their family money. Although they could rent or buy, everyone knew that Qian preferred to buy it directly.
When it comes to things like a shop, you can only feel at ease if it belongs to your own family. Otherwise, what would you do if someone drives you away halfway through?
And by buying a shop, they already have a foundation in the capital, and their family members will have more confidence here.
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "This matter is not urgent. Let Fifth Brother and the others go out for a walk when they have time, or find some work in the capital first, and then ask about buying a shop when they are familiar with it. I don't have enough money."
Think of something else."
Man Bao chuckled and said, "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in more than a month. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we should enjoy chrysanthemums."
Zhou Lijun blinked and said, "Sister-in-law, you have just arrived in the capital. Can you still find beautiful and rare varieties of chrysanthemums?"
Man Bao said proudly: "There are no flowers and plants in this world that I can't find. If I can't find them now, I will definitely find them in the future."
"That's right," Zhou Lijun said thoughtfully: "Every time you enter the city, you have to go to the flower market. When walking on the road, you can squat down and dig up an inconspicuous grass, and then you can grow it when you come back.
Just grow flowers, sister-in-law, does this count as your talent?"
Man Bao thought for a while and then nodded and said: "Forget it."
Zhou Lijun nodded, "Just like the puppies in the village who are born to smell..."
Man Bao reached out and grabbed the pillow from the bed, "Tell me again, what do I look like?"
Only then did Zhou Lijun come to his senses and immediately shook his head and said: "Sister-in-law, I didn't say you look like a puppy..."
Zhou Lijun jumped up and ran out, successfully dodging Man Bao's pillow.
Manbao groaned in anger and decided to ignore her before having dinner today.
But soon Zhou Lijun poked his head in again and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let me help you sort out your clothes."
Man Bao glanced at the boxes she had piled aside, and reluctantly ignored her, "Come in."
When they first arrived in the capital, there seemed to be a lot of things to do, but seriously it was not much. It was just that they were a little timid when they came to this strange place for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel a little panicked, so they felt that there were a lot of things to do.
Mr. Zhuang felt much better after taking a nap. Seeing that the three of them had tidied up their rooms, he said: "Put down your things and get the official documents later. I will take you to the Imperial College. Shanbao, you can send them again."
People go to the Yang family and send a message asking them to come to the house to pick up Magistrate Yang’s things..."
Mr. Zhuang made the arrangements in an orderly manner, and the three of them took note of them one by one, and their hearts calmed down instantly. Even Bai Dalang, who was a little anxious at the side, calmed down and listened obediently.
Bai Shan asked Liu Gui to deliver the post to Yang's house and asked Daji to prepare the carriage. They took a nap and got up to go out after guessing that the Imperial Academy had also gone to the Yamen.
Mr. Zhuang asked Bai Dalang to ride in the same carriage. He hadn't been to the capital for many years, and he didn't know what was going on in the Imperial College now, let alone the situation in the capital. Although Bai Dalang probably knew very little, at least it was real-time.
They lived not far from the Imperial College. After exiting the alley, there was a street. Go forward, then turn around and enter another street. Walk along the street for a while and you will find the Yamen of the Imperial College.
The gate of the Imperial College is not wide, facing the street, and it is a square courtyard with two entrances. But next to it, there is a door plaque with four doors and three large characters - Imperial College - embedded on it.
Man Bao felt strange. After jumping off the carriage, he stared at the two doors seriously, puzzled.
Mr. Zhuang helped Bai Dalang's hand get out of the car. When he saw the three of them raising their little heads and staring intently at the two doors, he reached out and patted their heads and said: "Don't look, this is the Imperial College. The main thing is
The offices of academic officials are located next door to where the Sixth Academy is located."
The Imperial College is not only in charge of the six schools, but also in charge of the government schools, county schools and all private schools in the world.
The books that the government schools and county schools need to add every year, the academic officials that need to be appointed, the students that need to be added or removed, and the resulting finances are all under the supervision of the Imperial College.
There are also private schools in the world, and the Imperial College must also have some control over them.
For example, Mr. Zhuang, if he opens a school to recruit apprentices and teach, and no one cares about him for a year or two, he can just teach. But if he teaches for a long time, he will have to register and create a book with the county government. Every year, these books will be
A list of names must be copied and sent to the capital directly to the Imperial College.
In this way, there are no specific figures for how many gentlemen and students there are in the world, but we can estimate that they are roughly close to ten.
It would not be possible for the emperor to ask about a famous gentleman from a certain place on a whim one day and the people who came to the Imperial Academy knew nothing about it.
Mr. Zhuang said: "Originally, the Imperial College was located in the imperial city together with the Six Studies. However, His Majesty attached great importance to the Six Studies. When the late emperor was still here, he proposed that the Imperial College be moved to the side of the Six Studies. Now the Imperial College is divided into internal and external parts.
The external office works here, while the internal office remains in the imperial city, and is mainly responsible for compiling books, traveling in front of the emperor, etc. You are here to study by the emperor's favor, so you should just report here outside."
Bai Dalang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it's fine here."
Mr. Zhuang then led the four people into the Imperial College. Bai Shancai took out the official document, and the people in the Imperial College understood that they had received the order to study.
Although I was disdainful in my heart, I didn't show it on my face. The main reason was that there were a lot of people here in the past few days, and few of them were knowledgeable. But they were the heroes, and now was the time when the emperor's grace was so great. Only a fool would do that.
This is making things difficult for them.
If you say you are a fool, you will be the fool.
Lian Yucheng came in and saw another group of people in the Yamen, and seeing that they were so young, he knew what they were here for. He couldn't help but frown, dropped the official document in his hand, and stepped forward with his hands behind his back, "Another
Did you come to Beijing to study under the imperial decree?"
Bai Shan raised his head and glanced at him, but didn't respond.
The academic officer who entertained them looked up at the three of them and could only answer, "Yes, they came from Jiannan Road."
Lian Yucheng glanced at the five of them and then at Bai Dalang, "Are you going to enroll in school?"
Bai Dalang quickly bowed and saluted: "I'm not a student, I'm a family brother."
He introduced Bai Shan and Bai Erlang: "These are the two younger brothers of the student. They are the ones who should be recruited this time."
Lian Yucheng frowned at the two of them, feeling that they were too young, so he raised his head and asked Mr. Zhuang, "How many years have they studied? Are you their disciple?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "My friend, Zhuang Xun, is..."
"He's our sir," Bai Shanye glanced at him with a slight frown, then looked past him and looked at the academic officer behind him, frowning and asking, "Can we go through the admission procedures?"
"You have quite a temper." Lian Yucheng became angry immediately and asked: "How many years have you studied? Have you finished reading the Four Books? If you haven't finished reading, it will be useless for you to enter the Imperial College..."
