On the day of Han Xiufeng's wedding, Ren He went to disrupt the situation and even humiliated Han Xiufeng in person. Pan Er was deeply impressed by him. The next day, he went to Shenxianfang to present the banknotes, so he also recognized Ren Yuan.

On the day of Han Xiufeng's wedding, there were so many people in the small courtyard that Ren He could not remember his small role and subconsciously asked: "Do you recognize me?"

Before Pan Er could speak, Ren Yuan blurted out: "Brother, he is Han Si's long-term follower."

Ren He came to his senses and said calmly: "We are indeed old friends, so your master has already arrived and lives here?"

Pan Erxian is now a man who has seen the world. He has seen a lot of officials. There are only two people living in this courtyard. One of them, a military attaché from the sixth grade, not only lives in the same house with him, but sometimes even calls him brother and brother.

The country bumpkin from Ba County was not afraid of Ren He, a civil servant. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Ren, you guys want to stay in the guild hall. My young master is talking to Mr. Qian inside. Could you please wait in the yard?"

, Rong Xiaoxiao goes and reports it first."

Thinking of Han Si, Ren He felt depressed and scolded: "How presumptuous! Master, I don't need you to report me for staying in the club!"

"Master Ren is so majestic." Pan Er looked up at the "No. 1 Scholar's Room" on the east and west rows, then looked back at the main room, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "This is the capital, not Ba County. It is not your turn, Master Ren, to give orders. You

If you guys want to live here, it depends on whether my young master is in a good mood or not."

"This is the Chongqing Guild Hall, not your Han family!"

"This is indeed not my young master's house, but my young master is the chief executive here! Does the chief executive understand, hahahaha, he is the steward of the guild hall!"

Ren Heze also couldn't understand how Han Si, who must have just arrived, suddenly became the head of the Chongqing Guild Hall. While he was puzzling, Han Xiufeng heard the commotion in the yard and walked out with Qian Junchen to meet him.

Six or seven people came, including Ren He, who had humiliated him before. He calmed down, cupped his hands and said, "Master Ren, it's been a long time."

Ren He didn't think that Han Si was really the head of the guild hall. When he saw a sixth-grade civil servant standing next to him, he hurriedly handed the luggage to Ren Yuan and bowed respectfully: "Ren Xingzhi, the son of Ba County, has met the master.

, Dare I ask the master’s surname?”

Naturally, Han Xiufeng would not let Qian Junchen introduce Ziji'er to Ziji'er. He held up his hands and said, "Master Ren, this is Mr. Qian Junchen, the foreign minister of the Ministry of Etiquette!"

The Ministry of Rites is the yamen in charge of examinations, and it is also the most noble yamen. Officials with a good background can go to any yamen, but the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel cannot go.

Ren He was in awe, and hurriedly bowed his hands again: "It turns out to be Mr. Qian. I have admired you for a long time, but I am disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Qian Junchen liked this feeling of being respected very much. He returned the gift with his hand and asked with a smile: "Are you here to try out the moves? Brother Zhixing and I just said that you should arrive by the time we count the days, okay?"

I once thought that Cao Cao would arrive, but you arrived just after we finished talking."

"He Junjie, a late-born son from Bishan, met Mr. Qian."

"Liu Shizhen, a late-born son from Jiangjin, met Mr. Qian."

He Heng and Liu Shanyang who were traveling together reacted and hurriedly handed their luggage to their respective families and respectfully saluted Qian Junchen.

"We are all from the same country, so there is no need to be polite," Qian Junchen returned the salute and smiled sideways: "The three of you have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing and must have been tired all the way. This is Han Zhixing, the leader of our Chongqing Guild Hall.

Let the three of you get to know each other, and ask Brother Han to register the fire cards for you, so you can settle down and rest early."

"Master Ren, Master He, Master Liu, please come in." Han Xiufeng said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"Han Si, are you really the leader of the guild?" Ren He looked incredulous.

"How can this be false?" Du San stretched out and walked out of the east room, put his arm around Han Xiufeng's shoulders and said with a smile: "My second brother is the president of the guild hall. If you want to live here, you have to give it to me.

Pay the library fee.”

After Du San finished speaking, he put down his arms and opened his cotton-padded jacket intentionally or unintentionally, revealing the patches on the official uniform underneath.

The military attache's buzi is different from that of the civil servant.

He Heng sincerely looked down on military attachés like Du San, and asked in confusion as if he hadn't seen it: "Master Qian, where is Second Master Fei? I remember that Second Master Fei is the chief."

"Second Master used to be, but not now. He just went out to have something to do. I guess he will be back soon. There is no talk outside. Let the three of you come in and talk."

"Come on, why are you hanging out in the yard?" Du San yawned, opened the curtain and was the first to walk into the main room.

Han Xiufeng really wanted Datou and Pan Er to drive the Ren brothers out, but this was originally a place specially provided for accommodation for Chongqing government officials who came to Beijing to take the exam. He could only sit at the head of the Eight Immortals Table and pick up the incense table.

He asked Pan Er to mop the ink and said calmly: "The guild hall has regulations. Three people can stay there for as long as they want, but each person has to pay a fee of two taels of silver."

This was the second time He Heng stayed here. He knew the rules of the guild hall. He took out his money bag from his pocket and took out a handful of broken silver: "There should be two taels here, please bother me, Brother Han."

"Not to mention troublesome, Mr. He, please sit down first."

Ren He secretly cursed that a villain has succeeded, turned around and motioned to Ren Yuan to take the money, and sat down.

Han Xiufeng put on a businesslike attitude, collecting money first and then registering. After registering their fire cards, he raised his head and said: "You three, the Chinese New Year is about to come. The Shuntian Mansion and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division are responsible for the control of people coming to Beijing from outside.

"Strictly speaking, your family members must also be registered. Please show your family registration cards."

During the Qianlong Dynasty, the court strictly controlled the refugees seeking a living in the capital. Shuntian Prefecture often worked with the Wucheng Military and Horse Division to investigate and deport them. Later, the number of refugees increased and they couldn't control them even if they wanted to, so they stopped controlling them very much.

Because of this, He Heng did not apply for household registration cards for his accompanying family members when he came last time.

Ren He and Liu Shanyang had never been to the capital before, so He Heng followed everything. Not only did they not help their family, but they didn't even think about the household registration card, thinking that they would just have the fire card.

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Didn't bring it?" Han Xiufeng asked, staring at Ren He closely.

"We don't know about this. Isn't it okay if my brother doesn't have a household registration card?" Ren He asked with a slight frown.

"It's not impossible, but it's not safe."

"Why is this not safe?"

Han Xiufeng put down his pen and said slowly: "Non-Beijing nationality soldiers and civilians waiting in Beijing must be registered and entered into the circulation directory of Chief Jia and Fang Zheng. If they are not registered or entered, they will not be arrested by the Yamen.

It doesn’t matter if you are found out. If you are found out, not only will your brother be in trouble, but even I, the head of the guild, will be implicated."

How could Qian Junchen not guess that Han Xiufeng was planning to extort money, so he pretended to be serious and said: "You three, you are too careless. You brought your family to the capital and didn't even go to the Yamen to apply for a household registration card for your family! This is a guild hall.

, If there is no guild hall, who would dare to let you stay in those inns outside."

"Mr. Qian, I...last time I came here, my family didn't have a household registration card and it was fine."

"I was lucky last time. Brother He, things are different now. The world is not peaceful now, and the important areas in the capital are naturally governed more strictly than in peacetime."

"Mr. Qian, we are all here, what should we do?"

"Brother Han, we are all from the same hometown, please help me find a solution." Qian Junchen turned around and said.

Han Xiufeng thought to himself that you either didn't understand, but once you did, you cooperated so tacitly. He suppressed a smile and said: "What else can I do, I can only spend some money to ask someone to go to the Yamen to take care of it."

"It's okay to spend some money. Brother Han, how much money will it cost?" He Heng asked eagerly.

"A person cannot live without ten taels."

"so much!"

"Mr. He, this is not your first time here. You should know that everything in the capital is expensive! Tell me, what can you do with ten taels of silver in the capital?"

He Heng raised more than 3,000 taels in order to go to Beijing for the examination, and was prepared not to go back if he failed. He had money on him and was not panicking. When he saw Qian Junchen, he said it was very troublesome, and he didn't want Qian Junchen and Du San to get in trouble.

The military attaché from the sixth rank saw the joke and agreed: "Ten taels is just ten taels. I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Han."

"Not to mention the trouble, Han is entrusted with the important task of looking after this guild hall by the trust of Mr. Ji from the Hanlin Academy, Mr. Qian from the Ministry of Etiquette, Mr. Wang from the Ministry of Industry and others from his hometown in Beijing. Naturally, he has to take good care of these three people."

Han Xiufeng used a tiger skin as a banner and showed off in a serious manner, then asked them to report the age and place of origin of their family members, register them one by one, note the reason for coming to Beijing, accepted forty taels of silver, and said with a smile: "Three

The hall is so big and there are only so many rooms in total, so I can only give three rooms to three people, and I have to force them to squeeze in with their families."

"I know this, last time it was a family room."

"It's best to know. Those who don't know will really think that I'm treating you three lightly." Han Xiufeng smiled and continued: "Furthermore, the guild hall is opening this year. Mr. Qian, Mr. Du and Mr. Fei are all eating in the guild hall. The three of them

You can also stay with three family members, and the food and tea money will be paid every ten days. I have estimated that one, two, and five silver per person per month for food and tea should be enough. Going out is not as good as being at home, so you can save a lot of money.

Save, don’t you think so, you three?”

"Everyone costs one or two and a half cents a month, I might as well go out to eat!" Ren Yuan couldn't help but muttered as he didn't know how high prices were in the capital.

Du San suddenly said: "I don't even want to spend this little money on food, why would I come to the capital to try it?"

"Brother, you can't force this." Han Xiufeng glanced at Du San, then turned back and said with a smile: "Master Ren, Second Master Ren, if you two find it too expensive, you can go out to eat. Besides, the guild hall has rules and regulations. Every day
