Han Zeyu planned to first block the hanging flower gate connecting the front yard and the inner yard, and then rent out the house in the front yard to the candidates who were going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations.
They still lived in the inner courtyard, but they needed to open a separate door.
When the weather gets warmer, he will reinforce the house and then build a second floor to make the most of the land.
In this era, as long as it does not violate the regulations, you can build illegally as much as you want, because the land use rights belong to individuals anyway.
Before he finds a more suitable business project, he might as well open a small hotel and collect rent.
Han Zeyu waved a small whip, urging several people to work faster. Time is money, and the sooner they open the business, the more money they can make.
After everyone's unremitting efforts, and despite much complaints, Han Zeyu's small hotel officially opened to the public.
His house is in a good location, and many people come and see the rental information, and there is also a constant stream of people coming to inquire.
Around the Lantern Festival, all the ordinary guest rooms in the inn were fully booked. The original price of an ordinary room of 200 wen a day had risen to around 300 wen. However, even if one gritted his teeth and paid the money, it was still impossible to book a room.
At this time, experienced students will set their sights on B&B-style courtyards.
You can rent a small courtyard alone or just rent a room, which is also the most cost-effective way.
Just when everyone was anxiously looking for a house, a homestay that paid rent by the day attracted the attention of some candidates.
The location is good, the environment is good, there is hot water supply, and someone will wash your clothes for you for a few coins.
The most attractive thing about this homestay is that it is affordable, has separate tables, chairs and cabinets, and guests don’t sleep on large bunk beds.
Although the bed is at an unusual height, it has guardrails on the outside and a sturdy ladder at the end for climbing.
If you don’t want to communicate with outsiders or value your personal privacy, you can also draw the curtains on the bed.
This design is really unique and eye-catching.
The daily settlement method is the same as that of an inn, and you can move away at any time if you find a more suitable place.
The room rate of seventy cents per day is really a reasonable price.
Han Zeyu not only rented out all the beds, but also gained a good reputation.
He counted the money happily, ate the dried fruits fed by his husband, and listened to his husband's praises. Life couldn't be better.
Look how much she has bewitched her husband. This damn charm is truly a sin.
Su Shien admired him from the bottom of his heart. He was a true expert in his field. When it came to making money, his brother Yu was incredibly good.
He must perform well and strive to get good grades, otherwise his fame and achievements will not be able to match Yu Ge'er's abilities.
The New Year in the capital was particularly lively. Han Zeyu, who had made money, was very generous and took his whole family to the temple fair.
Temple fairs are held in the capital starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, and lantern festivals are held during the Lantern Festival.
Su Shien was invincible in guessing lantern riddles, and he won all the exquisite lanterns that each person got.
Zhao Xun likes the red little fox lanterns.
Tiezhu likes the shape of black bears, but unfortunately no one understands his aesthetic.
Looking around, there was not a single stall with black bear lanterns at the entire lantern festival.
In the end, Tiezhu regretfully chose a lantern that said "There will be fish every year". Food is the first necessity of the people, and having enough to eat is the most important thing.
Han Zeyu was the most realistic person. He chose the big lantern that meant "a source of wealth". The lantern was half a person's height and looked very grand.
Su Shien answered twelve questions in a row before he finally won the lantern.
It was really difficult for Su Shien. Three of the four people were poor students, and the whole process of answering questions depended on him.
Han Zeyu is better. Although his writing is not very good, at least he can recognize it.
Tiezhu and Zhao Xun are semi-illiterate, so logically speaking, the smart Zhao Xun should learn faster.
But the actual situation is just the opposite. Although Tiezhu is not very smart, he knows all the commonly used characters and can even write them roughly.
Although it is crooked and missing limbs, it can at least be used to fool people.
This couldn't help but arouse Han Zeyu's curiosity. What kind of environment did Tiezhu grow up in as a child?
…
Han Zeyu was happy to receive the lantern. She secretly held her husband's hand and continued her shopping and eating trip.
Su Yunsong, who went out with them, was self-reliant and relied on his intelligence and talent to successfully get the lantern he liked.
The meaning of his lantern is also good, which means getting a good score in the imperial examination, which is also the ambition and wish of young people.
There are so many people around, you should hold hands secretly, but Han Zeyu doesn't want to do that. He touches your palm teasingly from time to time, which makes Su Shien feel itchy.
He was still feeling itchy when someone suddenly shook his hand away. Before he could react, Han Zeyu had already subdued the thief.
Han Zeyu smiled happily. He had already inquired about everything when he was planning to come to the temple fair.
During activities such as temple fairs, Lantern Festivals, and blessing events, if a thief is caught, he can be handed over to patrolling officials.
With the token given by the official, you can go to Jingzhao Yin to receive a reward of two taels of silver.
The moment Han Zeyu received the token, it was as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened up. He handed the lantern to his husband to hold, and then he focused on catching the thief, eating and drinking at the same time.
Tiezhu also wanted to catch it, but his eyesight was not good, so he had to follow his master's steps closely. In case his help was needed, he could stand up and eliminate the harm to the people.
After arresting three pickpockets in succession, Han Zeyu unexpectedly came across a big job.
The cause was that a naughty child grabbed the lantern in Zhao Xun's hand and refused to leave, crying loudly.
A young woman quickly apologized and scolded the child to let go.
Seeing that scolding had no effect, the woman began to pry the child's hands apart.
Han Zeyu noticed the woman's nails and the pinch marks on the child's arm.
This is not something a mother would do. Besides, it looks very inappropriate for a young woman in plain clothes to have such delicate long nails.
Another point is the woman's hair bun, which is a little too delicate.
They were in the latter half of the Lantern Festival, and even if the woman came from the opposite direction, her hair could not have been neatly arranged.
Han Zeyu wanted to reach out and touch the crying child, but the woman was very alert.
"I'm sorry, the child is young and doesn't understand. I'll compensate you and you'll have to go through the trouble of buying a new one. I'm really sorry."
After saying that, he casually took out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them all into Zhao Xun without even looking at them. Then he decisively snatched the lantern, picked up the child and hurried away.
