Living in the capital, is not easy. Search: \(\?Complete?God?Station) to read quality literature for free. No matter which dynasty or generation, the ecology in the capital of a country is the most complex. As far as the purpose is concerned, Ning Yi's leading the group north this time is primarily to prepare the ground for Su Tan'er's arrival. Buying a house, surveying the location of shops, investigating the ecology of cloth shops and restaurants in the capital, whether it's the Su family or Yunzhu's side, all need to be roughly arranged, and all of this has to be completed in ten or at most half a month, which is indeed a bit rushed.

In the past, the Su family could only be considered to have some minor connections in the capital area. Every major cloth merchant has some small secrets. The Su family's two most skilled fabrics would be sent to the capital every year for consignment sales, getting to know some shopkeepers, but that was all. If you come to travel, they will naturally welcome you, perhaps even rush to greet you. But coming to do business and steal their rice bowl is another matter entirely. Purchasing raw materials, where to open workshops, how to hire people, it's not easy to sort out a clue in the short term. If it weren't for the fact that the family separation was inevitable, Su Yu probably wouldn't have wanted his granddaughter and son-in-law to face such a bare-bones situation.

After the family separation, the Su family gave Su Tan'er the most, I'm afraid, was a considerable amount of silver. As for some of the Su family's original workshops, shops, and technical strength north of the Yangtze River, they are still very far from Bianliang. And in Bianliang, once silver reaches a certain level, its significance is not that great.

This is the most commercially developed era in the history of this land, with the status of merchants elevated, and the accumulation of wealth and the gap between rich and poor have reached an extremely alarming level. But under the feudal system, all of this does not give people too much of a shock, because having wealth does not necessarily mean having unlimited resources. Power is the most real thing in this era. An official with a net worth of tens of thousands of taels will not envy a merchant with a net worth of millions of taels. In terms of the resources they can get, the enjoyment they receive, and the respect they are given, the former is superior in every way.

This is especially true in the capital, where it's not uncommon to be disrespected even if you're loaded with money. Of course, things become different if you have a background.

"...The place isn't big, but in terms of elegance, it's quite good. There are only four courtyards. The main hall can be considered spacious, but it hasn't been cleaned for some time, so it just needs to be tidied up... Next to it is the guest room, behind it is the master's residence, and the kitchen and servants' quarters are over there... The tree in the main hall is nice, I like it very much, the yellow leaves falling in autumn, the atmosphere is very good... There's a lotus pond in the courtyard of the master's residence, clear out the silt a little every year, and the flowers are already blooming..."

Having arrived in Bianliang, on the third day, Monk Jueming found a place for Ning Yi and the others. It wasn't far from the street with the most shops in Bianliang, but this area in the transition zone was quite quiet, suitable for living. It consisted of four courtyards, and was also next to the river. There were several trees near the main hall, the largest of which was a locust tree that was probably hundreds of years old. Its canopy was lush and green, giving people a sense of intimacy without disrupting the formality of the main hall.

Each courtyard had some garden architecture, which seemed to have been carefully arranged, but the emphasis was not on ornamentation but on the atmosphere of the living environment. The lotus pond in the backyard was accompanied by pavilions and rockeries, with lotus leaves covering the surface, and the lotus flowers were already blooming, giving a truly refreshing atmosphere in the summer light. And one could imagine what a lazy atmosphere it would be in the autumn when the leaves in the courtyard gradually turned yellow and slowly fell.

These gardens must have been designed by masters, each season and each type of weather would have its own connotation, and it was not prominent, but rather allowed people to better integrate into it. Even if Ning Yi didn't have much research in this area, he could see its benefits.

"Outside is the river, with running water around, so it won't be too hot in summer... The family next door works in the Dali Temple, but I heard that they are okay..."

This Monk Jueming had a handsome face and wore a white robe with wide sleeves. He stood under the eaves and casually introduced the place to Ning Yi and the others. Having been here for three days, after the initial conversation, Ning Yi had a rough understanding of his background. He was originally called Zhou Changfu, styled Shaoqin, a descendant of a royal prince. He was famous in the capital when he was young, but then he became a monk. He practiced worldly Zen, apprenticed to a master but did not enter the mountain gate. He had extensive social connections in the capital, participating in various poetry gatherings and making friends, and interacting with all kinds of people, but he was very strict in his precepts.

It is said that he was a famous playboy when he was young, and even after becoming a monk, there were still many courtesans who were infatuated with him. However, after becoming a monk, he did not go near women or drink alcohol or eat meat. He would attend upper-class gatherings, and he had also interacted with the lowest-level people, giving out food and porridge in the winter and treating and saving people. It is said that someone had even seen him sucking pus from a half-dead beggar's wound in an emergency. Ning Yi thought that he might have been an idealist at first, but by the time he reached his forties, there was not much sharpness to be seen in this monk, just like a round stone that had been washed by the river for many years, round and translucent. He was the kind of person who was easiest to get along with and also the most difficult to get along with. His tone of voice was not high, but it also had a feeling of cheerfulness and洒脱.

Accompanying Ning Yi to see the house this time, besides Xiaochan, Yunzhu, and Jin'er, were also Su Wenyu and Su Yanping. On the other side were Jueming, Cheng Zhouhai, Qin Shaoyu, Wenren Buer, and the three Qi brothers. Along the way, although the three Qi brothers were Wenren Buer's subordinates, they

got along well with Su Wenyu and Su Yanping. They were quite admiring as they walked around. Although Qin Shaoyu was arranged by Qin Siyuan, with Cheng Zhouhai and Monk Jueming present, he couldn't say much. Xiaochan and Jin'er looked around, Yunzhu was originally following at a distance from Ning Yi, but soon after she was pulled away by Jin'er - she and Jin'er would not actually be living here.

The intention to buy the courtyard was quickly finalized. With good things, money was naturally not a problem. From Cheng Zhouhai's words, Ning Yi also heard that this courtyard might have previously been the property of the Prince's mansion. Monk Jueming became a monk after his parents passed away. Part of the family property was given to relatives, part was taken back by the court, and part was used by him to help the poor. The courtyard should be scattered leftovers, belonging to half-selling and half-giving, but it was also a symbol of status and relationship. Taking advantage of this, there would be fewer possible troubles in the future.

Several people didn't care about this little advantage. After agreeing, they walked around and looked. Although Cheng Zhouhai also asked about other things, Ning Yi was not the kind of person who only wanted to take advantage of others. Matters such as cloth shops, workshops, and finding people were not something that he always had to trouble these leaders in the Secret Investigation Department with. Before long, he shifted the topic to poetry, romance, and the like, such as the recent poetry gatherings and Yu Shaoyuan's most popular "Royal Road Fu".

"Now that Liheng has finally come to the capital, these kinds of places should be visited, right? Shaoyu should be very good at arranging this."

After all, the Qin family was the owner, and it was not good for several people to completely exclude Qin Shaoyu, so they had to find some topics to bring him in. Qin Shaoyu's personality seemed quite simple, and he was a little embarrassed: "Actually... my poetry is not very good, but if I want to go to these poetry gatherings recently, I have already inquired about them. My uncle said that I should entertain Mr. Ning well..."

Ning Yi had no ill feelings towards this kind of young man who had just come into contact with the complex world, and laughed heartily to express his thanks: "However, I'm not very interested in these poetry gatherings. Instead, I want to go and see the most famous buildings in Bianliang these days."

"Oh?" Cheng Zhouhai said with a smile, "Liheng just plans to take a look?"

"It's just to take a look, um... Brother Cheng knows, mainly it's for the restaurant business. Yunzhu's Zhuji wants to open in the capital, and I want to see what the best place in the capital is like, to have a concept. Of course, I'm not planning to compete with them in the future... Also, I might visit a friend at Fan Lou."

Hearing him mention Fan Lou, Monk Jueming said with a smile: "It's that Miss Shishi, right? I heard people say that she and Liheng have known each other for a long time, I'm afraid you have to meet her."

Ning Yi nodded with a smile. This kind of connection made for past friendships was naturally not something to be publicized. At most, when Li Shishi was free, she would invite the others to sit down for a while. Ning Yi only promised the other party and also wanted to take a look at Fan Lou. As for whether the other "childhood friends" had any deep affection for him, he didn't have any expectations.

After chatting idly for a while, everyone ate lunch together outside at noon. Cheng Zhouhai and Wenren Buer had to return to Prime Minister's Residence, and Jueming also bid farewell. In the afternoon, Qin Shaoyu led Ning Yi and others to choose various furniture and daily necessities, continuing until dusk.

After all, the house had already been chosen, and there was no shortage of money here. Ning Yi also treated this as accompanying everyone on a stroll, getting to know the scenery of Bianliang, so he didn't just choose a few pieces of furniture. The group walked all the way along the street, Jin'er pulled Yunzhu and Xiaochan in and out of various shops. She might not usually do this. If it was just her and Yunzhu, or with one or two servants, as a young lady it wouldn't be good to shop so excessively. But today, with Ning Yi and the others following, in her opinion, it could also be seen as the husband's family accompanying her out to buy things, and she had a shield behind her, which was different.

The furniture that had been chosen earlier was just arranged for the shop owner to deliver at a certain time. As for the small items that were temporarily bought, including food and drinks, fruits, and candied fruits, they were left to two servants to carry. Afterwards, there was a small episode. When Jin'er happily bought a few pieces of clothing that she liked, one of the servants who had free hands was sent away to do other things. Ning Yi and Qin Shaoyu were looking at things in the nearby shop, and Su Wenyu came over to pay for her and then carried the package for her, so she couldn't refuse.

These kinds of small things happened inadvertently in different ways several times. Su Wenyu's courage became slightly bolder, and he also tentatively said a few words to her, but he was not too rejected by Jin'er. Her answers and responses were quite polite, a very different look from when she was arguing with Ning Yi. Presumably, this was what a truly well-bred lady should be like at this time.

As the sun set, everyone was not too far from Wenhua Tower. On the way back, while passing through a relatively remote alley, they heard a burst of laughter coming from ahead.

"Little~Mimi~! Girl, have you seen my Little~Mimi~? Hahahaha... It's a golden monkey, I'm looking for my golden monkey... It's this tall... this big, very cute... But now it's gone, girl, you're wearing a skirt, can you show me, ha..."

Accompanying the laughter was a woman's scream...
