After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Jinchu estimated that most of Huizhen's relatives had left.

After getting up early in the morning and having a simple breakfast, he packed up the gifts and took Zhao'er to Huizhen's house.

There was naturally another round of pleasantries when they arrived. Jin Chu put down the gift, and Wang Weiyuan took Zhao'er and Wei Yue to start the first day of classes after the New Year.

After class, Jin Chu, contrary to his usual behavior, did not immediately take Zhao Er away. Instead, he turned to Wang Weiyuan and said, "Brother Wang, when will you return to Donglan Academy?"

"Classes will begin on the 19th day of the first lunar month." Wang Weiyuan turned to Jin Chu, "Are you going to the provincial capital?"

Jin Chu nodded and said with a slightly embarrassed smile, "If possible, I would like to ask Brother Wang to help me find a suitable courtyard to rent in the capital."

"What kind of courtyard do you want? How much does it cost?"

"Brother Wang, you know that there are only Zhao'er and I in my family. You will be working hard on your studies next year, and I also want to find a tutor for Zhao'er. Therefore, I hope this courtyard is not too far from your academy. This will also help Zhao'er learn from the good and encourage him to study. Furthermore, it would be best if the neighborhood is stable and easy to get around. As for the size of the house, a small, independent courtyard large enough for my sister and me will be sufficient. As for the rental fee, the normal price will be fine."

Wang Weiyuan thought for a moment and looked at Jinchu: "When do you plan to move to the capital? Are you in a hurry?"

Even if Sun and her cousin had any bad intentions towards her, they only did so around the time of her coming of age. Now, there was still more than half a year before her coming of age, and she didn't know whether her third brother, whom she had never met, would come to pick her up this year. Jin Chu had more thoughts in her mind.

She spoke slowly, "If possible, it would be best if the house can be finalized in the first month of the year."

In this way, even if she moved out and her third brother came right after her, she would be able to contact him quickly.

"If that's the case, why don't I go to the academy two days in advance and look around with people I know. If I find someone suitable, I'll contact you."

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Wang."

Jin Chu thanked him and was about to leave when Wang Weiyuan called her back, "Since you've brought gifts today, why don't you stay for dinner?"

Hui Zhenniang, who heard the noise, came over to persuade them to stay: "Auntie will make some home-cooked meals at noon. You and Zhao'er can stay and eat together today."

While speaking, she pointed at the gift Jinchu brought and joked with a smile, "Otherwise I wouldn't dare to accept your gift!"

Huizhen from the kitchen also jumped out and grabbed Jinchu to stop him from leaving. Unable to refuse her kindness, the brother and sister had no choice but to stay for lunch.

Suddenly, it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month. While waiting for Zhao'er to finish his get out of class, Huizhen excitedly grabbed Jinchu and said, "Jin'er, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Let's go to the city tomorrow! Take Zhao'er and Yue'er with you, and let my brother go too. With him leading us, you can have fun without worry."

When Jin Chu heard that Wang Weiyuan would also go, he swallowed the words of refusal that were about to come.

After several contacts like this, Jin Chu had an inexplicable confidence in Wang Weiyuan, and this was indeed the case. Anything assigned to him or promised by him could basically be completed with quality and quantity guaranteed.

Thinking of the beautiful poem about the Lantern Festival described in the book, "Thousands of flowers bloom in the night under the east wind, The roads are filled with the fragrance of BMWs and carved carriages", Jin Chu couldn't help but yearn for it.

The most lively and beautiful time of the Lantern Festival is at night, so there is a saying that "the moon is above the treetops, and people make appointments after dusk."

Jin Chu naturally wanted to experience the grand spectacle of the Lantern Festival on the main street of the city, but considering that this place was a full fifteen miles away from the city, Jin Chu couldn't help but feel a little more hesitant.

"Do you still have any doubts?" Huizhen asked puzzledly.

"What should we do at night? Although the curfew will be lifted tomorrow, we are not that close to the capital after all. If we rush back at night..."

Huizhen pointed at Jinchu's forehead speechlessly and said with a smile, "You used to be so clever, but why are you so dumb today? Since we're going to the capital to watch the excitement of the Lantern Festival, we won't be back at night. With my brother here, how can I let you sleep in the wilderness?"

"Then do we still need to book a hotel?" Jin Chu asked uncertainly.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, young people from the city would probably flock to the area, as would some villagers living near the city. If Jin Chu didn't book a hotel in the city in advance, he was worried that he would still end up with nowhere to stay.

"That's why I came to ask you so early today. If you're sure, I'll have my brother book an inn in advance! Tomorrow night, we'll eat, drink, and have fun. When we're tired, we can have a good sleep in the inn."

"If there's an inn, then I'll naturally take Zhao'er with you to see the bustling night scene of the Yuan Ye Festival on the main street of the city."

Jin Chu no longer had any doubts in his heart, so he agreed readily.

After receiving Jinchu's affirmative answer, Huizhen rushed into her brother's room like the wind, not caring about Weiyue and Zhaoer who were studying at the moment. She grabbed Weiyuan's arm, leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Brother, Jiner agreed. You should say hello to your classmate!"

Huizhen lowered her voice and teased with a smile, "Don't let everyone end up without a place to live. I'm fine, but if Jin'er were to end up stranded outside, wouldn't you feel bad, big brother?"

Weiyuan glared at Huizhen coldly and threatened in a low voice: "If you don't want to go, you can stay home with your parents. In case your eldest brother can't find a place to live, you will be left with nowhere to stay!"

"Brother, brother, Zhen'er was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously. The Lantern Festival only comes once a year, so how could I not join you in the fun?"

Huizhen stuck out her tongue and was about to leave, but Weiyuan stopped her: "Wait a minute, I'll write a letter right away and ask someone to reserve a few guest rooms for us. We won't be back tomorrow night."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen and paper, leaned over, and quickly wrote a few words. He then put the envelope back in and handed it to Huizhen: "Before Uncle Zhou's mule cart leaves, hurry up and deliver it to him. Tell him to ask someone to give it to a young man named Zhao Pu at Tongfu Inn."

"Okay, okay," Huizhen responded repeatedly, then curiously asked, "Brother, who is Zhao Pu?"

"My classmate, and the eldest son of the owner of Tongfu Inn."

After a brief explanation, Wang Weiyuan took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to Huizhen, "Take this money and go find Uncle Zhou!"

"Brother is indeed very rich!" Huizhen touched the silver in her hand and smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed.

Her elder brother also has an advantage, that is, as long as the job is done well, he will guarantee to give you enough money.

At least half of the silver that my elder brother gave me just now will go into my pocket.

Huizhen happily took the envelope and walked towards the village entrance as fast as the wind.

Wei Yue looked at his sister walking away, a smile on his face: "Brother, are we going to the capital to celebrate the Lantern Festival tomorrow?"

Weiyuan looked at his brother expressionlessly and said, "Then it depends on whether you can recite the Shuer Pian smoothly today!"

"I'll memorize it right away, right away!" After saying this, Wei Yue stared at the book intently and began to recite aloud.
