Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 197 High and Low

Since they didn't encounter any town at noon, they took out the food Ye Wan had prepared for them in the carriage and ate it, and drank some hot water, which was also very delicious.

In the afternoon, Jiang Ci sat in the carriage and took out the book he brought to read.

It is a very famous travel book, and Jiang Ci read it with great interest.

Jiang Ci took out another book from the bottom and handed it to Lin Jingchen, "If you can't read it, don't read it. Read something interesting to relax."

Lin Jingchen put down the "Mencius" in his hand and picked up the travel notes handed over by Jiang Ci, "Okay."

Jiang Ci set up the folding table again and took out a bag of pastries and placed them on it.

Jiang Ci was eating cakes and reading a book when she saw Lin Jingsheng driving outside through the curtain.

They should have hired someone to drive!

It was already completely dark at night when they found an inn in the town.

There are quite a few people eating in this hall. Judging from their attire, many of them should be going to the provincial capital to take exams.

They asked for two upper rooms and asked the waiter to bring the food directly into the house for them to eat.

"Our carriage is going faster this time. This is different from where we stayed last time."

"It's going to be faster, but we'll have to leave earlier than last time."

This time they reached the city in three days. They arrived at the inn after dark every night and did not arrive too early in the morning.

When they arrived at the capital city, there was still a last glimmer of red left in the sky.

Jiang Ci poked her head out and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the master first and ask him which inn he has booked for us. Ah Ci, please go in. It's cold outside."

Jiang Ci sat back down obediently. Only the restaurants and inns on the roadside had lights on, and everywhere else was dark. The streets and houses were all dark, which looked a bit eerie.

Jiang Ci couldn't help but think of the time when he saw some extremely vicious people suddenly appear on such a street.

Fortunately, we arrived at the master's house very quickly.

"You two don't need to come down. I'll go ask the master."

Lin Jingsheng went downstairs and knocked on the door. There was a response from inside and the door was quickly opened.

"Hey! Lin Jingsheng! You're here so soon. I thought you guys wouldn't be here until tomorrow."

"We walked a little faster on the road, and now we are here."

Xiao Nanhua also came out and saw Lin Jingsheng at the door. "You are here. Have you eaten? How about I make something for you?"

"Don't bother, just find a restaurant to eat at later."

"Wait a moment."

Xiao Mingyi went into the house and came out again, "When I went to rent an inn, all the good inns on West Street were rented out, so I rented a small courtyard for you."

"That's better."

Jiang Ci lifted the curtain of the carriage and greeted Xiao Mingyi, "Hello, Master."

"Oh, good."

Lin Jingchen followed closely behind, "Hello, Uncle Xiao."

"Okay, I'll take you to the yard."

It took a quarter of an hour to reach the rented courtyard. The examination place was in the southwest of the city, and Xiao Nanhua's home was on East Street, which was a bit far away.

Xiao Mingyi used the key to unlock the gate, and several people entered the courtyard.

There are two bedrooms and a dining room. The yard is not big, but it is more comfortable than living in an inn.

Xiao Mingyi handed the keys in his hand to Jiang Ci, "The room has been cleaned and can be lived in now. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

"Master, I'll take you back."

"You stay here with Brother Ci."

"This isn't close. I'll take you back and buy some food when I get back."

"That's fine."

Everything else in the car was also taken down.

Lin Jingsheng worriedly told Jiang Ci, "Lock the door. I'll come back and call you, and you can open it again."

"Okay, don't worry."

It was already dark in the afternoon, and Jiang Ci found a candle in the house and lit it.

The two of them took out the things in the backpack and sorted them out.

There are two bedrooms. Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng live in the one with a big bed, and the other one has a small bed and a desk by the window, which is perfect for Lin Jingchen.

After Jiang Ci and Lin Jingchen tidied up their rooms respectively, they sat in the main room.

There were two bright candles on the table, and a man was reading a book.

Lin Jingchen saw that the books Jiang Ci was reading were all drawings of various houses, "Brother Ci, are you looking at what kind of house to build?"

"I have a rough idea of ​​what it will look like. Now I just need to see how to make some details more beautiful."

Seeing that Lin Jingchen was curious, Jiang Ci pushed the book he had placed on the table to the middle.

"I am now considering whether to build the roof of the main house into a gable roof or a curved roof. These two are the most beautiful roof styles that ordinary people can build."

Jiang Ci turned to the previous page again, "If you ask me, the houses built by the royal nobles are the most beautiful, with hip roofs and gable roofs. If there were no class restrictions, I would have built one too."

Lin Jingchen was really shocked by Jiang Ci's words. Who could say such words so easily?

Lin Jingchen skipped the topic that he couldn't and didn't dare to respond to, and turned the book back to the next page.

He didn't know much about house construction, but he still gave his own suggestions, "If the gable roof is not that complicated, it's simple and versatile. I think this one is good."

"I'm on the top of the mountain. As long as someone gives me advice and pushes me, I won't hesitate."

Jiang Ci turned the book to the back and said, "And this, the pavilion eaves..."

This quarter of an hour made Lin Jingchen look at Jiang Ci in a different light again.

Lin Jingchen felt that he now had a thorough understanding of the details of the house and was ready to build it.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Lin Jingsheng's voice.

"coming."

After parking the carriage, Lin Jingsheng weighed out the food he had packed from the restaurant.

The food boxes and plates belonged to the restaurant and were also weighed over.

"After dinner, wash up. You can go to the restaurant tomorrow to return the money you deposited there."

It was already past their dinner time and they were all starving, so they began to eat with big mouthfuls.

After dinner, I went back to my room and went to sleep without cleaning up.

"I'm going to Master's house tomorrow. It was too hasty to meet him once today."

"Well, I met Xiao Nanhua's brother Qie when I sent my master back."

"Do they all live there?"

"No, it was Xiao Nanhua who sent him away. They should have had dinner together."

"I was a little rushed in my shopping and I don't know what gifts to prepare for them."

"It's not that particular. Just pay the gift money and buy some other things."

This is also one of the reasons why they came to the capital city with Lin Jingchen this time.

Xiao Nanhua and his brother Shen Yan are getting married. No one knows when they told Xiao Mingyi about it, but he seemed quite satisfied after reading the letter his master wrote to Lin Jingsheng.

Maybe after so many years, Xiao Mingyi would be satisfied as long as Xiao Nanhua found someone to accompany him.
