Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Although Han Zheng found an excuse that "he already has a marriage partner", and Li Yu also said what he wanted to say to others, it still couldn't stop people from coming to propose marriage.

Especially after Han Zheng became the top scorer.

This morning alone, there were seven or eight people who wanted to propose marriage to Han Zheng, and some even asked Han Zheng whether he had a maid or a concubine.

Some even said directly: "Han Zhuangyuan will be an official in the future, so it is normal for him to have three wives and four concubines. Although he cannot marry a wife now, he can take in a few concubines, so that someone will take care of him in the future."

After hearing this, Li Yu didn't want to say anything.

In fact, there is no big problem for others. After all, this is the way of the times.

But she came from the modern era, and no matter how hard she tried to integrate into this place, she still could not agree with some aspects.

For example, a man having three wives and four concubines.

She hoped that even if Han Zheng got married in the future, he would only marry one wife, just like his father and mother, and Mr. Su and Mrs. Su.

"If you change your mind, I will help you find someone if someone proposes marriage to you tomorrow," Li Yu said.

Han Zheng shook his head without hesitation, "I don't want to get engaged for the time being, let alone get married. If someone brings it up again in the future, please help me reject it, sister-in-law."

Seeing that he had not changed his mind, Li Yu responded, "Then I will do as you wish from now on. However, I can only refuse those who say it to me. As for those who say it directly to you, you have to refuse it yourself."

Han Zheng said: "I can handle it, you don't have to worry, second sister-in-law."

Li Yu: “Yeah.”

After saying this, the carriage arrived home.

Everyone finished their work and then turned off the lights to rest.

*

The next day, the Jinshi candidates went to the palace to express their gratitude.

So Li Yu and Lu Xuan first sent Han Zheng out of the palace.

Today was the same as the day of the palace examination. The Jinshi candidates first gathered outside the palace, and then, led by the Minister of Rites, went to see Emperor Tianyuan. After expressing their gratitude, the court also awarded the top scorer court robes, crowns and sashes, as well as Jinshi treasure notes.

One item after another, it's very troublesome.

Li Yu couldn't do anything outside the palace. After seeing Han Zheng and his group enter the palace, he turned his horse around and headed back.

Seeing the dental clinic halfway, she waved to Lu Xuan to stop.

"Are you going to buy a house?" Lu Xuan asked.

Li Yu: “Yes.”

*

Since coming to the capital, Li Yu has never given up the idea of ​​"buying a house".

Although renting a house is convenient, it is not your own after all. You cannot do many things and feel a little restricted.

Now that he has made some money from business and Han Zheng has won the top spot in the imperial examination, he will definitely stay in the capital, so he must buy a house.

Firstly, it makes life more convenient, and secondly, it makes it convenient for Han Zheng to go to court.

According to the tradition of the Yu Dynasty, Han Zheng would be appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, which was a sixth-rank official, and officials above the sixth rank in the Yu Dynasty had to attend court. If they did not move, Han Zheng would have to get up before Yinshi (three o'clock in the evening).

Because Emperor Tianyuan was a relatively diligent emperor, he usually held court once every three days, and would arrive at the court on time at 5 o'clock.

If Han Zheng doesn't get up early, he will never be able to catch up.

Considering Han Zheng's health, they had to stay as close to the palace as possible.

Li Yu was lost in thought, and stepped into the dental clinic.

*

When the boss of the dental shop saw Li Yu, he came up to him happily, "Boss Li, Mr. Han won the first prize, congratulations!"

Li Yu smiled and replied, then went on to talk about his requirements: "The yard should be as big as possible, at least enough for seven people to live in. In addition, the kitchen should be large, there must be a well in the yard, there should also be open space for planting flowers and grass, and there should also be a place to park horses and carriages."

After hearing this, the boss said with some embarrassment: "There are many people buying houses recently, and Mr. Li's requirements are high. To be honest, it's not easy to find one."

Li Yu said: "It's okay, I'm not in that hurry, I just hope you can help me find a suitable one within a month and a half."

If she is not in a hurry, then there will be no problem. The dental shop owner said, "Don't worry, I will find it for you within a month, not a month and a half."

Li Yu: "Thank you for your help."

*

After talking to the boss of the dental clinic for a while, Li Yu got on the carriage and left.

The boss of the dental shop watched the car go farther and farther away, and sighed, "You can't judge a person by appearance. This is just right for Boss Li. Who could have thought that she would have such good fortune now?"

When Li Yu first asked them to help find a shop last year, he secretly laughed at Li Yu in his heart. There were so many good shops, but he chose Taiping Street instead. The rent there was cheap, but there were few customers, so the business was not good.

At that time, he was still estimating in his mind the time when Li Yu's store would close down, but in the end, the entire Taiping Street was brought up by her hot pot restaurant.

"Boss, what are you looking at?" a waiter came forward and asked.

The boss of the dental shop turned around, glared at the clerk, and then suddenly said: "From now on, you must treat customers with a good attitude and not look down on them. Remember that!"

The clerk nodded repeatedly, "I've remembered it, but why did the boss suddenly mention this?"

The pimping shop owner pointed in the direction Li Yu left and said, "There are so many pimping shops in Beijing, why did she only choose us? It's because we didn't fool her because of her identity when we helped her find a restaurant for the first time. We did a good job, and she is satisfied with us."

It dawned on the guy.

Inside the palace.

After all the procedures were completed, Han Zheng was left alone by Emperor Tianyuan.

"The emperor wants to see you. Please follow me." The eunuch smiled and was extremely respectful to Han Zheng.

Han Zheng looked at Lu Sheng and Qi Wangnian who were waiting on the side, and left with the eunuch.

Emperor Tianyuan was not in the imperial study.

After Han Zheng entered, he stood there motionless. It was his first time meeting Emperor Tianyuan alone, and he was very nervous.

After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, footsteps were heard outside.

Han Zheng thought it was Emperor Tianyuan and immediately perked up, but unexpectedly it was just a eunuch serving tea.

The eunuch smiled at Han Zheng and said, "Master Zhuangyuan, please take a seat first. The emperor will be here soon."

Han Zheng responded and moved aside to sit down as the eunuch instructed.

After waiting for another half a quarter of an hour, Emperor Tianyuan finally arrived.

Han Zheng immediately bowed deeply.

Emperor Tianyuan said, "Stand up."

Han Zheng stood up carefully.

*

Emperor Tianyuan looked at Han Zheng carefully twice again.

The more he looked at Han Zheng, the more satisfied he was, not only with his talent, but also with his appearance.

To be fair, Han Zheng's looks may not be as good as this year's third place winner Huang Zhuting, but he is not bad either, with clear eyes and eyebrows, and a scholarly air. He is one of the best among the more than 200 Jinshi candidates.

Huang Zhuting is already engaged, so Han Zheng...

He has a third princess who is about the same age as Han Zheng. Perhaps he can arrange a marriage for her.

Emperor Tianyuan knocked on the imperial desk again and again.

*

Since Emperor Tianyuan remained silent, Han Zheng felt anxious.

When he was thinking about whether he had done something wrong, Emperor Tianyuan finally spoke.

"Are you engaged?"

Han Zheng paused and said, "Not yet. But I have always told others that I am engaged."

This was the first time that Emperor Tianyuan heard someone answer like this, and he asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Han Zheng told the truth: "I don't want to get married too early, so I lied."

"Then why don't you continue lying today?"

Han Zheng: "I cannot and dare not deceive Your Majesty!"

Emperor Tianyuan was silent for a few breaths, and then he burst into laughter.
