The Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion is very big.

After Chi An finished his meal.

Led by the butler, they had been walking for almost half an hour and still hadn't finished.

This mansion is bigger than the one his family lived in before.

It needs to be more refined.

The flowers and plants in the mansion have also been carefully selected and maintained.

There are some roses planted along the main courtyard wall.

Rose looked like it had just been planted and some green leaves were sprouting from its branches.

The layout of the yard is very similar to that of home.

The servants in the mansion have already prepared hot water for bathing.

The servant wanted to stay and help Chi An take a bath.

Driven away by Chi An.

He has to be a good husband.

Don't let others see your body.

The servants did not dare to force them to stay.

They all retreated obediently.

Several maids had originally been thinking about climbing onto the bed while Guifeng was away.

If I could be promoted to a concubine by then, I would be rich.

Anyway, Guifeng is fighting outside and won't be back for at least a year or two. If they get pregnant with Chi An's child before Guifeng comes back,

Even if Guifeng wants to deal with them at that time, he will not do anything to them for the sake of the children.

Not now, but there will definitely be a chance in the future.

The housekeeper stood not far away, taking in every little move of the maids who were thinking about something.

He gave the guard beside him a look.

The guard understood.

Bring a few people over and take those people away.

sold.

Half an hour later.

All the servants bought into the mansion were called to the front hall for a lecture.

The butler sat at the top and took a sip of tea, looking at the servants standing below: "I asked you to come here, you should know why. You are the people of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, and the most important thing is to be loyal to the master. If someone wants to use despicable means."

"If you have caused a bad impact on the masters and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, don't blame me for being rude. Your indentures are in the hands of the masters."

"If someone is not careful enough, you will be sold out. It is hard to say whether the traffickers will buy you into a brothel or some other bad place."

"The master is preparing for the imperial examination next year. If any of you are ignorant enough to disturb him, you will not be allowed to stay in the mansion."

The butler talked for a quarter of an hour before letting them go back.

Li Xiayun was taken to a small courtyard by the guards in a carriage. "Mr. Li, this is the residence the general has arranged for you. It is just across the street from the mansion. You will go to the mansion to study starting tomorrow. The general has specially arranged a teacher for you and Master Chi."

Li Xiayun got off the carriage and looked at the house in front of him.

Not very big, but very clean and exquisite.

This price doesn't look cheap.

"Thank you."

Li Xiayun took out one or two taels of silver from his money bag and gave it to the guard.

The guard didn't take it.

After giving the key of the house to Li Xiayun, he drove away in the carriage.

Li Xiayun could only put the silver back into his own wallet.

I wandered around in An.

A bedroom, a woodshed, and a kitchen.

There was another room that was empty and contained some miscellaneous items.

In the kitchen, there are vegetables and seasonings.

The chopped firewood was placed in the woodshed.

The bedroom was very clean.

The furniture is fully available.

There were several new quilts in the kang cabinet.

A special area was set aside on one side of the bedroom, with a desk and bookshelf.

Li Xiayun tidied up and made the bed.

I flipped through some books and planned to go to a bookstore in Beijing to see if there were any books I hadn't read before.

Or you can look at the books that students in the capital are buying to see if they are acceptable.

Buy two copies and give them to Chi An when I go to his house for class tomorrow.

By the way, get familiar with the environment of the capital.

You can’t be in a situation where you don’t know where to buy something when you need it.

Buy some winter clothes.

He was much luckier than the vast majority of students who rushed to take the exam.

There is a ghost wind to help yourself.

Other students who went to Beijing to take the exam not only had to prepare themselves, but also had to find a place to live when they arrived in the capital.

I spent my own money to buy books, pens, ink, paper, inkstone, etc.

Guifeng prepared all his food, daily necessities and accommodation for him.

He must study hard and do well in the exam.

Try to get a good rank in the exam.

When the time comes, I will become a high-ranking official to repay Gui Feng.

Li Xiayun went out with five taels of silver.

Before going out, I checked whether the doors and windows were closed.

After making sure it was locked, I left the house with peace of mind.

First, I walked around the street where I live.

Then I asked around and went to the bookstore.

Arrived at the door of the bookstore.

Just getting ready to go in.

The man in front, who was wearing colorful clothes, seemed to have stepped on the hem of his clothes while walking.

Falling straight towards the door frame.

Li Xiayun was pulled.

He grabbed that person.

Because Li Xiayun pulled it in time, the man didn't hit the door frame.

Li Xiayun looked at the man and asked, "Are you okay?"

The man's servant rushed forward to check if his son was injured.

Lin Mu straightened his clothes and bowed to Li Xiayun: "Thank you very much, sir. May I ask what your name is? I will treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude."

Li Xiayun: "Li Xiayun, you don't have to eat. It's just a simple task."

Li Xiayun took a look at the man's attire.

Colorful.

Although her face looks okay, her fashion sense is not good.

Where on earth did this person choose these ugly clothes?

These materials appear to be of top quality.

He must be a rich man.

It is better to have less dealings with these rich people.

It would be better if I could pass the exams smoothly in the past few months.

Lin Mu looked at Li Xiayun's face and was stunned.

Looking at Li Xiayun's clothes again, I felt like a bolt from the blue, as if the sky was falling.

Lin Mu: This person is wearing coarse linen clothes. No matter what he wears, he looks better than me. Why does this person look better than me? It must be an illusion.

This looks like a student rushing to take an exam.

He stepped forward and said, "Brother Li, are you buying books? I have gold. I'll buy them for you as a token of my gratitude for saving your life."

Li Xiayun originally wanted to refuse.

But after hearing what he said, he agreed.

You don't have to spend money to buy books, and they even give you recommendations.

Every bit of money saved is a bit of money saved.

Li Xiayun: "Thank you very much."

Lin Mucun stepped forward, stood side by side with Li Xiayun, and helped him choose books.

He would ask a few questions from time to time to test where Li Xiayun's knowledge lies.

Then choose books that are suitable for him.

It took half an hour to choose.

Lin Mu selected several books for Li Xiayun.

Just now he tested Li Xiayun tentatively.

I think Li Xiayun is quite knowledgeable.

We will definitely be among the best by then.

After settlement.

Lin Mu originally wanted to take Li Xiayun out for dinner.

After all, Li Xiayun saved his handsome face.

I'd like to treat you to a meal. It's your duty.

Li Xiayun refused.

Others help me choose and buy books.

It's not very nice to let someone treat you to a meal.

And giving this peacock a hand is just a matter of convenience.

After the peacock leaves, he will return to the bookstore, buy another copy of these books, and bring one to Chi An tomorrow.

Whether Guifeng has prepared anything for Chi An is Guifeng’s business.

Whether or not you give it to Chi An is a matter of your attitude.
