The peasant boy of crossing

Outside the gate of Zhao Mansion, Uncle Fang and his little chestnut horse were under the locust tree in the corner.

Seeing Li Xinyi coming out, he drove back to the inn without asking any further questions.

Li Xinyi was exhausted physically and mentally, and wanted to just sleep for a while, but before Wu Su came back, Li Xinyi went to the opposite inn to find Jiao Ruoliu and Lin Yujin.

He knocked on the door, and there was a weak "the door is not locked" from inside.

Pushing open the door, I saw that Lin Jiao and Lin Jiao were both there, and they didn't care about the image of a gentleman who was "cautious and independent".

Jiao Ruoliu sat crookedly on the chair, one arm resting on the back of the chair.And Lin Yujin collapsed on the bed, pretending to be a salted fish.

Li Xinyi looked at them as if they had too much kidney deficiency, and asked cautiously: "Are you, are you being sucked away by a vixen?"

If it was normal, Lin Yujin would definitely jump up and refute, proving that she was alive and well.

But at this moment, his eyes were empty, he stared at the bed curtain and said, "It's almost there."

Jiao Ruoliu also looked dull-eyed.

Li Xinyi actually felt that she was not far behind, but the excitement from when Zhao Yuanwei agreed to borrow his house just now was still there, so she said, "I have good news from my side."

Lin Yujin heard it, and immediately turned from a salted fish to a freshwater fish: "Have you found a house?"

Li Xinyi nodded: "That's right."

Jiao Ruoliu put his arms down from the back of the chair, straightened up and asked, "Where is it, tell me."

Li Xinyi was not moved by their expectations, and said, "Let's wait until Ah Su comes back."

Lin Yujin only uttered half of the "cut" voice, but swallowed the other half of it because of Jiao Ruoliu's eyes.

He felt choked up: "Brother Li, half-talking is not good. If you feel tired, wait for Ah Su to come back, and we'll just talk it out for you. You will be beaten for such an appetite."

When Li Xinyi was about to perform "Mighty and Unyielding", Wu Su pushed the door open and entered.

He also looked dusty and tired.

"Where's Caihe?" Jiao Ruoliu hurriedly stood up and gave him the only chair, and sat beside Lin Yujin herself.

"I asked him to rest." Wu Su was not polite, and sat down on the chair.

Li Xinyi poured Wu Su a cup of herbal tea, leaned against the wall by herself, and the three of them waited for Wu Su to speak.

After downing two cups of tea one after another, Wu Su let out his breath.

He turned around, only to see Li Xinyi leaning against the wall, so he pointed to a low table and said, "Sit on the low table, don't be so far away."

Li Xinyi looked at the young couple, doubting: "Is it really not going to collapse?"

"Really not." Jiao Ruoliu said, "Pei Ling has sat on it several times. He is so heavy that he has not collapsed. Brother Li will not be able to sit on it."

"Who said that?" Lin Yujin refused to accept it, "Maybe I've already collapsed from sitting on it, let alone Brother Li, a three-year-old baby will collapse even if he sits on it."

"Xin Yi, sit closer." Wu Su said, and then he asked everyone: "Everyone, tell us what you have gained this day."

Jiao Ruoliu said: "Peiling and I went out at dawn. We asked all the inns around the Gongyuan within a radius of ten miles. We asked 32 of them, and 28 of them were full. The remaining four inns Among them, there is only one vacant room. One of them was preempted by others while we were still asking."

Lin Yujin added: "The inns around here are all full. We have been running around non-stop for a whole day, but there is really nothing to gain."

Wu Su nodded, and looked at Li Xinyi: "Xin Yi, what did Master Zhao say?"

Li Xinyi didn't dare to put all her weight on the short table, and it was a bit hard to support it with her legs, so she could only quietly support the table legs.

Seeing Wu Su looking over, he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.

"Master Zhao agreed to lend us his other courtyard in South Neighborhood to live temporarily, and he also said that we can move there tomorrow."

Wu Su was silent for a while. For some reason, he even hoped that Li Xinyi would say that he forgot or was too embarrassed to bring it up.

He then talked about his harvest of the day.

"According to the innkeeper, there are many residential areas in the north of the city. Some people will rent out their idle houses to others, especially those scholars who come to take the exam. So Caihe and I spent the whole day in the north of the city looking for a place to live. Premises for short-term rental."

"The shopkeeper introduced me to a dental shop, and he took me to see several. After looking, I chose two. One is in the North Lane, and there are four vacant wing rooms, not only with beds but also with couches and furnishings. It’s also very good, but I want to live with the master’s house. There are six vacant rooms in the other house, and they are separated from the master’s house, but it’s a little far away from the Gongyuan, and the house is a bit old.”

Finally, Wu Su said: "What do you think?"

From a selfish point of view, Li Xinyi thinks it is good to live in an inn now, and there is no need to run in with the owner of the house, except for the two coachmen living next door, there are only him and Wu Su on weekdays.

Even Jiao Ruoliu and Lin Yujin were separated by a street.

Putting aside his selfishness, no matter where he lived, he always listened to Wu Su, so Li Xinyi didn't reply.

Jiao Ruoliu was also silent. From the map, Nanfang Street was obviously closer to Gongyuan.

It's just that it was Li Xinyi's favor, and it was inconvenient for him to express his opinion before Wu Su spoke.

Lin Yujin saw that everyone was silent, so she lowered her head and played with the bed curtain.

Wu Su looked at Li Xinyi and asked, "Xinyi, why did you tell Mr. Zhao, why did he agree to borrow another house?"

Li Xinyi froze for a moment, then realized that Wu Su did not doubt his meaning.

After all, he was the one who spent the favor, and if he had to pay it back in the future, it would be him.

Not to mention that Li Xinyi did not participate in the provincial examination, this favor was purely because of them.

Li Xinyi said: "I didn't say anything, I asked directly."

So he recounted the conversation between him and Zhao Yuanwei.

Wu Su asked: "He only said that Moquan Pavilion's paintings are not easy to sell, and asked you to paint more paintings?"

Li Xinyi nodded: "That's true."

Wu Su frowned, and asked, "Then before you left, did he say anything else?"

Li Xinyi recalled it carefully: "He said that Guanshi Liu missed me very much, and asked me to go to Moquan Pavilion."

Wu Su frowned even tighter now, feeling unspeakable boredom in his heart, he almost couldn't restrain himself, and asked, "How long have you known Mr. Zhao?"

Li Xinyi counted with her fingers: "It's been four years, but I haven't seen each other for two years."

Wu Su said to Jiao Lin and the two: "Let's go to the north of the city tomorrow to take a look at those two houses. We have already talked to the owner about it. It would be better to move there earlier."

Jiao Ruoliu and Lin Yujin traveled all day, but they couldn't find a place to live, so naturally they didn't disagree.

Not to mention that the Xianfu Inn is far away from the Gongyuan, even if he and Lin Yujin slept together last night, they couldn't bear it.

Lin Yujin slept extremely badly. Last night alone, he was woken up countless times by his "God kick".

If he still wants to sleep with Lin Yujin, then he would rather sleep on the floor.

Lin Yujin looked at the dusty floor under her feet, and also felt that living in the north of the city was better than staying in a hotel.

Although he had to kick his legs habitually when he slept at night, every time he kicked, he would be pinched by Jiao Ruoliu, and when he got off the night, his legs were pinched blue and purple.

Only Li Xinyi felt regretful, after all, it was really rare for him to give up his face once, if they lived in the north of the city, then his hard work would be in vain.

He persuaded Wu Su: "A Su, why don't we think about Nanfang Street? It's not for nothing, and it's okay to send some valuable gifts at that time."

Seeing that Wu Su didn't respond, Li Xinyi said to Lin Yujin again: "Brother Peiling, I heard that Nanfang Street is very lively. You don't have to wait for the market, and there are often all kinds of pastries and candies for sale. Since we have all come to Hangzhou, why don't we try it?" , isn't it a pity?"

Lin Yujin was a little moved by what was said, but he soon showed an expression of helplessness.

Li Xinyi had no choice but to say to Jiao Ruoliu: "Brother Qiongzhi, Nanfang Street is very close to the Gongyuan, only two streets away. And I heard from the steward of the Zhao Mansion that the other courtyard is a good place to get some peace and quiet. Don’t you feel sorry if you took the opportunity but didn’t experience it?”

Jiao Ruoliu just shook his head and glanced at Wu Su, indicating that he could not make the decision.

If it's other things, he and Lin Yujin always have to say a few words on the scene, and they will never say nothing.

But now it involves big shots they have never had contact with, so they have to be cautious.

He has only known Li Xinyi for more than ten days. At first, he thought he was a shy and taciturn young man, but along the way, he also regarded him as a friend, not just Wu Su's friend.

Since we are friends, we should not use our own selfishness to put our friends in a dilemma.

Wu Su said: "Everyone is tired today, let's go downstairs to have dinner, and then go to bed earlier."

Seeing their listless looks, Wu Su added a bowl of meat soup.

Li Xinyi just ate wontons at noon, and she is very interested in pasta food.He didn't want rice, he only ordered a bowl of cold wide noodles, and ate it mouthful.

Because outside, no one was watching whether they behaved or not, and the few of them didn't pay attention to anything.

Lin Yujin wondered, "I found out that my heart doesn't make any sound when I eat noodles. It's hard to do that."

Li Xinyi was finally willing to lift her head from his wide face, a little confused: "Sound? What sound?"

"It's just the sound of sniffing and sucking." Lin Yujin frowned as she spoke.

Li Xinyi was stunned for a moment, but she didn't notice that Jiao Ruoliu was secretly pinching Lin Yujin's waist, "This will only make a sound if there is soup, I have cold noodles. And the noodles are so wide, it's hard to suck."

The wide noodles that Li Xinyi eats are really wide, about the width of a thumb, and its width is almost comparable to that of Shaanxi belt noodles.

Lin Yujin was aroused, so Li Xinyi clipped a section for him.Lin Yujin took a bite and said it was delicious, and he wanted to order it tomorrow, but she didn't notice that Jiao Ruoliu's hand pinched him a little harder.
