    Of course, the origins of the Han sisters were soon found out by Chen Nianguan.

    After all, who didn't get off the ferry, who hasn't eaten Chen Nianguan's seafood feast?

    Now, every day when they see Si Ya moving the stove, the passengers will appear on the deck consciously or unconsciously, wait for the seafood to be caught, and then fight with each other, and then join the army of happy dinner parties.

    Cannibals have short mouths, but short hands!

    Mrs. Chen wants to know the origin of the new boat passengers?It's simple, each person is responsible for inquiring about a few people, and after investigating all the information about the new group of passengers, they came to report to her. Be sure to get some more for them at the next dinner party.Delicious dish!

    "uh-huh!"

    The Han sisters, the two daughters of the Han family in Capital City, visited their ancestral home, and now they are returning to Beijing.

    It's Capital City people!

    It is also good for those who are blind when they arrive in Capital City to make friends!

    Even if you have more than one guide, that's fine!

    Chen Nianguan was thinking about how to get close to the Han sisters, and that chubby Han Jinqian ran to the deck at some point: "It's so fragrant, what is this?"

    Chen Nianguan's eyes rolled around. With it, isn't food the best bridge?

    She smiled and said to Han Jinqian: "This is a delicious thing, it's called an oyster, do you want to try it?"

    "How much silver is one? I'll ask my servant to pay you."

    Oops, she is still a civilized and polite little sister, Mr. Chen really likes it.

    "No money, I'll give you food, okay?"

    Han Jinqian's face was blushing, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, "My parents said, you can't eat the food that comes from you!"

    Darling, you are really educated, you can't look at six or seven years old, you are about the same age as Xuan Xuan, right?You will know the food that is coming!

    "It's not the same as the food that comes here. This is because my sister really treats you to eat because she sees you are cute." Chen Nianguan handed Han Jinqian a raw oyster that was not too hot to dry, and ate one himself first. Han Jinqian held the oyster,I learned to open my small mouth and took a bite, and then the small eyes were surprised.

    "Delicious?" Chen Nianwan asked with a smile.

    Han Jinqian nodded her head.

    "Then you eat more!"

    Han Jinqian was still reserved at first, but after eating to her heart's content, she couldn't take care of it. Like the brothers and uncles next to Lang Jun, she went to pick out her favorite oysters and eat them.

    Before eating two, there was a roar from the other side of the cabin: "Han Jinqian!"

    Han Jinqian shook his hand, and the oyster he picked up fell down again.

    The servant who was in charge of taking care of her rushed over, and the guards behind her also rushed over.

    "Hey, little lady, how can you just run around? You made Eldest Young Lady angry, do you know?"

    The servant girl persuaded Han Jinqian to go back, and Han Jinqian reluctantly looked at the oysters on the stove.

    Chen Nianguan understood, found a big shell, put it on four or five oysters, and handed it to the servant who came to Han Jinqian: "These are for Miss Han, by the way, tell Han Eldest Young Lady for meSay hello!"

    The servant girl glanced at Chen Nianguan, hesitated for a moment, heard Han Jinqian happily yelled "take it", and obediently carried it over. Han Jinqian said goodbye to Chen Nianguan, and then bounced back to the cabin.

    Han Jinji had already heard some ladies on the boat talk about the group of ladies and gentlemen outside who didn't know etiquette and had dinner in the open air, and she felt extremely despised in her heart.

    After all, it is not a person from the capital city, and it lacks education.

    They must be very careful, so as not to be contaminated with their wild spirit.

    Then I turned around and saw that my sister had gone off without knowing where people were not prepared. When she walked out of the cabin and looked at the group of vulgar people on the deck with disdain, she caught a glimpse of one of the small dumplings. It was not her sister, Han Jinqian.who is it?

    Immediately, he lost his composure and yelled, then hurriedly covered his mouth and retreated into the cabin, exasperated: "Well, you Han Jinqian, it's fine to go to the group of rude and shameless people by yourself, and she has lost such a big face?"

    When you come back, if I don't die, you don't count...

    Seeing that the servant girl brought her sister back, Han Jinjiao was even angrier: "Throw it away, throw it all away!"

    "Don't throw it away. Sister Chen outside gave it to me." Han Jinqian protected the food and stretched out his arms to surround the whole big shell. "My sister doesn't like it, so I don't want to share it with you."

    Han Jinjiao was annoyed and laughed, "Would you share the food with me? Who cares?"

    Han Jinqian stared at her sister with wide eyes.

    "Han Jinqian, my parents said that you should not eat anything of unknown origin outside, remember?"

    "It's not of unknown origin, it's from the sea, it came from under the boat." Han Jinqian stretched out her small hand and pointed down.

    "Han Jinqian, have you forgotten the difference between old and young? Do you dare to refute what my sister said?"

    "I'm not refuting, I'm answering your sister."

    "You still say no? Lock her in the cabin, and don't let her out without my order."

    "Hmph, close it." Han Jinqian picked up the whole shell and was about to follow the servant back to her cabin. Thinking of something, she reluctantly took an oyster out of the shell and put it on the desk, "DadMother said, Qianqian wants to share the blessings with my sister, and I will give one of the delicious food to my sister, so don't say that Qianqian eats alone in the future!"

    Han Jinfan watched her sister go out cheerfully, slammed the door shut, her face was colorful with anger, and just wanted to sweep the oyster to the ground with a wave of her sleeves.Does she think it's delicious?

    Then he put down his hands again, sat on the edge of the narrow couch, and stared at the oyster.

    Is this thing really that delicious?

    Because it wasn't long before it was removed from the stove, the grilled oysters were still steaming, and the aroma of ginger powder, minced garlic, and shallots sprinkled on top wafted faintly, making Han Jin's throat slip subconsciously.

    Just, try it, no one sees it anyway.

    Han Jinfan recalled how the group ate just now, stretched out his slender fingers, picked up the oyster, hesitated, and brought it to his mouth. He planned to take a small bite, but he stretched out his tongue to lick and suck it.The deliciousness prompted her to eat the whole oyster in one go.

    Uh-huh!

    What kind of delicacy is this?

    Sweet and delicious, extremely tender and smooth, it slides into the throat like water in the mouth, but the aftertaste is endless!

    Han Jinjiao was amazed when the servant girl came into the room, and Han Jinjiao immediately threw the oyster shell to the ground, "I will take care of the little lady from now on, and don't let her go on the deck again, especially with that group of people."Inside!"

    "The servant will follow Eldest Young Lady's wishes and will take good care of the young lady."

    The servant tidied up the cabin, bent down to pick up the oyster shells that had been swept to the ground by the Eldest Young Lady, opened the side that was on the ground, and saw that the inside was empty, where a piece of meat had gone, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

    From that day on, Han Jinjiao entered a period of torment.

    But couldn't help it, and had to do one more thing every day, which was to pretend to open the window to breathe, and to catch a glimpse of the group of people who didn't know the etiquette on the other side of the deck.

    Only then did realize that what the boat passengers passing by from time to time were talking about: Mrs. Chen and the others caught a squid (sturgeon) today. The meat was tender and delicious.The Teppanyaki Takoyaki is smooth and refreshing, sweet, tender and juicy. will tell you later, have you ever tasted the salt-baked prawns made by Mrs. Chen, which are salty, crispy and delicious...

    Well, Mr. Chen still brings everyone to dinner every day, and even develops a variety of tricks, and the practice emerges endlessly.

    Listening to the mouth-watering food, Han Jinjiao remembered the grilled oyster that he had only eaten once, and he became more and more angry every day lying in the cabin.

    Damn it, where did a group of people cook such delicious food every day in broad daylight?

    It also makes people who don't want to eat dried fruit and dry food all day long look forward to it?

    She couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, the servant thought she was sick, and then called the young lady who was in confinement.

    "Sister, did I hear that you are not feeling well?" After all, it was her own biological sister, Han Jinqian expressed concern.

    "It's okay!" Seeing her sister, Han Jinjiao coughed, thinking about it.

    "Xiaoqian, it was my sister who was wrong before. You are still young and curious by nature. It is not impossible to think of playing outside. However, this is a boat with water all around. If you accidentally fall into the sea,How can I explain to my parents?"

    "Sister, don't blame yourself, Xiaoqian understands."

    "So, if you like to play in the future, my sister doesn't want to hold you back, but you must bring your servants and guards with you, and proceed carefully, you know?"

    "So, I can go play on the deck?" Han Jinqian was excited.

    "Yes, but, be sure, pay attention to safety."

    "Don't worry, sister, I will."

    As soon as Han Jinqian lifted the ban, of course she immediately went to find her sister who gave her delicious oysters!

    Han Jinjiao, who was waiting for the food to be delivered, said that, sure enough, little brat, everything is under his control.

    Chen Nianguan hasn't seen Sister Han for a few days, and Sister Han always stays behind closed doors and has no chance to get close.Looking at the servants and guards, he immediately smiled.

    "Little sister, will you come to the deck to get some air today?"

    Han Jinqian nodded, "By the way, come and eat the food that my sister gave me."

    Come on, you're welcome!

    Because she was about the same age as Xuan Xuan, Chen Nianguan was very tolerant to this little sister, and let her join the dinner party, asking everyone to make room for this little sister.

    Hearing that she is the younger sister of Lady Tianxian, Liu Feng was extraordinarily enthusiastic, peeling shrimps and crabs, serving her attentively, and asked Miss Han by the way.

    Unexpectedly, this little lady has a very tight tone and doesn't mention her sister at all, making Liu Feng wonder if there is some conflict between the two sisters?

    Of course, when Han Jinqian was about to go back to the cabin, Liu Feng did not forget to bring Han Jinqian a few more, and asked the little sister to go back to eat with a smile on the surface, but in fact secretly hoped that the little sister would send the fairy lady to eat.

    Han Jinqian was smart, nodded to Liu Feng, and before going to her sister's cabin, she killed more than half of Liu Feng's extra food, leaving a small half before sending it to her sister's cabin.

    Hey, my sister has acted so profoundly and righteously, as a younger sister, she should reciprocate, right?

    What's more, brother Liu Feng gave it to her, so it's hers, so there's nothing wrong with the half she ate more?

    Han Jinzhen didn't know that what he ate could be regarded as the "leftovers" left by his sister, and he was complacent that he would be able to eat the same delicious food as that group of people even in the dumb room in the future!

    Well, she is different from them.

    She still ate in the room, followed the rules, chewed slowly, and did not lose her manners, which completely complied with the rules of an official lady.

    Liu Feng didn't know either, Miss Han never mentioned anything about Liu Feng's elder brother in front of Mrs. Tianxian, and complacently described what the fairy lady would do when she heard the name of a little man who was so good to Miss Han.I have a good feeling for myself!

    What should have been an arduous and arduous journey to Beijing has completely turned into a joyful journey of eating and drinking every day, and this unsettling sea voyage is slowly approaching the end on this day: the ship arrived at the capital city on the outskirts of the city.harbor.

    Leaning on the side of the boat, Qiqi looked at the towering city wall of Kyoto that seemed to stand up into the clouds of the sky. Those who came to Beijing for the first time, Chen Nianguan and other country bumpkins all exclaimed: Wow!

    People from the capital city who got acquainted with Chen Nianguan and others through eating and drinking these days bid farewell to Chen Nianguan and others one after another.

    The Han sisters were also escorted by a group of guards and were preparing to disembark. Chen Nianguan on the side saw Han Jinqian and smiled at himself, and then Liu Feng ran over, "Sister Han!"

    "Brother Liu Feng!" Han Jinqian reluctantly said goodbye to him, but Liu Feng's thoughts were all on Han Jinfei: "Han Eldest Young Lady?"

    Wearing a veiled hat, Han Jinjian recognized from behind the veil the little novice who was following Mrs. Chen, who did not abstain from killing or meat, and bowed to him like a Buddha: "Since the little master has escaped into Buddhism, if there is no clear sea,Master has such great merit, please be careful to kill and eat carefully, so that you can practice Taoism as soon as possible."

    "Huh?" Liu Feng was stunned, watching the Tianxian lady drift away.

    Chen Nianguan felt sympathetic, reached out to touch Liu Feng's smooth, bald gourd, and tapped again.

    Liu Feng understood in seconds and felt melancholy.

    "Why did you shave the hair that grew back?"

    "Ah, didn't I hear the people from Capital City say that people from Capital City like Buddha, especially to people like monks like us, how polite are you?" Liu Feng was helpless, and also went to touch his bald head, which felt very good, "We are new here, so that the people of Capital City can be more polite to us, so let’s be bald!”

    It turned out that he wanted to use his bald head for convenience!

    "Congratulations, Han Eldest Young Lady is indeed very polite to you!" Chen Nianguan couldn't help laughing.

    "Hey!" Liu Feng felt melancholy again, and Little Darling felt a little pain, but recovered.

    On the other side, Cang Monan was surprised when he learned that both Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si were going to study in Beijing, and then they decided to make friends, and then heard them discussing where to settle in Capital City, whether they should firstFind an inn to stay, and then go to rent a courtyard, interjected: "Brother Zhang, Brother Zeng, if you want to rent a courtyard, how about I recommend a courtyard to you, okay?"

    Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si looked at him together.

    These days, this Cang Monan is eating and drinking on the boat, but he didn't realize that he is a pampered young master from a rich family who has a spare yard in Capital City!

    Chen Nianguan heard it, and squeezed over with a smile: "Okay, if Brother Cang has a vacant courtyard in Capital City for our group to stay, we will cover everything Brother Cang wants to eat in the future."

    "Don't dare." Cang Monan waved his hands again and again, but in fact, the crazy upturned lips betrayed his true thoughts, and he roared even more from the bottom of his heart, that's great, even if we come to Capital City, we will have the opportunity to eat ChenThe lady made delicious food!

    So, a group of people got off the boat, rented five carriages, packed everyone and their luggage on them, and then, under the leadership of Cang Monan, set off towards Capital City.

    The walls of the capital city are higher than those of the Fu city.

    The road of Capital City is wider than that of Prefecture City.

    The houses in Capital City are also more grand than those in Prefecture City.

    The people in Capital City are also better-looking than those in Prefecture City.

    ...

    All the way from the inside of the carriage, the curtain was lifted, and the people watching the scenery of Capital City were so gesticulating and talking about the goodness of Capital City, but they didn't have the humility of being a small county town under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou Prefecture.

    It's all because of the gangster Chen Nianguan on the road.

    There were many people from Capital City on that boat, and they would chat with friends and companions while eating and drinking. Didn’t they forget about the fear and anxiety of facing the people of Capital City’s imperial capital?

    The people in the capital city are prettier than those in the Prefecture City, but they all have a pair of eyes and a mouth, just like us, so there's nothing scary about it.

    A group of people are confident.

    Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the house recommended by Cang Monan.

    According to Cang Monan, this house was bought by his family for his second uncle. Two years ago, the second uncle's family moved out of Capital City, and the house became vacant.

    "Because it hasn't been idle for a long time, and the things inside won't be damaged, so go in and have a look, see if it's suitable?"

    When Chen Nianguan got out of the carriage, he saw that the alley in front of the door was straight, and it looked wider than the alley behind Five Willow Lane that could accommodate two carriages, and the whole alley was quiet and elegant, with a good environment.

    When Cang Monan called for Tao Bo, Tao Bo, the gatekeeper inside, opened the door. He went in and saw a screen wall. Around the screen wall, there were four inverted rooms, and the innermost west corner courtyard was astables.

    Following the Chaoshou corridor and passing the hanging flower gate, you will see a large courtyard and the main house.

    There are five main rooms and two side rooms in the main house, and five side rooms on the left and right side rooms. There are all kinds of furniture and kitchen, even if they have a group of about twenty people, it is enough.

    There is a rockery in the courtyard, and there is a small pond. The planted flowers and trees have withered at this time, but there are still a few golden chrysanthemums in full bloom.Turning yellow, turning red, turning red, it looks very elegant.

    The whole house is like a sophomore, Chen Nianguan said he likes it very much.

    "This place is quiet, just thinking that brother Zhang and brother Zeng want to study quietly, that's why I recommended them to you." Cang Monan smiled, and then looked at Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si: "This Xianggui StreetAlthough it is in the outer city, it is only three streets away from the front gate of the inner city, so it is very convenient to enter and exit."

    "Then, how much is the rent?"

    Cang Monan waved his hands again and again, "You're welcome, Brother Zhang and Brother Zeng and I hit it off right away. Even if this house is not occupied, it is also vacant, so what if I borrow it with you two for a year or so?"

    Before Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si expressed their opinions, Chen Nianguan walked over with a smile and shook his head: "This is not allowed. After all, it is the house of Mr. Cang's family. We are not related to Mr. Cang, so it is not good to stay overnight! But I also promiseMr. Cang’s kindness is not as good as this, Mr. Cang will rent this house to us first, but it would be better if the price is cheaper, and we will be grateful.”

    Cang Monan smiled, helplessly, "Since that's the case, what is the rent in Madam Chen's opinion?"

    "One hundred taels of silver, limited to one year?"

    "That's fine." Cang Monan nodded, and told Tao Bo to come over and meet the tenant. After Chen Nianguan asked Si Ya and others to bring their bags in, he called Zhang Erlang, found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, sharpened the ink, and wrote on the spot.A paper lease.

    Regarding the fact that his wife asked him to draft the contract, Zhang Erlang was already familiar with it, and he listened to Chen Nianguan talking about the terms, and wrote it down in duplicate.

    After Chen Nianguan dried it, he signed his name, and then asked Cang Monan to sign his signature.

    Cang Monan didn't expect Chen Nianguan to draw up the rental contract so quickly. He looked at the terms above and said he had no objection, so he signed it and took out his personal seal to stamp it.

    Chen Nianguan took back his lease, and readily gave Cang Monan a hundred taels.

    Very good, I didn't expect to solve the housing problem on the first day in Capital City, and it was a big house that satisfied me so much, good, good, good.

    Chen Nianguan was in a good mood, so when Cang Monan left, he readily gave him a small jar of scallop sauce.

    Cang Monan took the lease and left Xianggui Street. Looking at the jar of scallop sauce in his hand in the carriage, he couldn't help laughing. Originally, he wanted to sell it well and make friends with two high-ranking sons, but he didn't expect that this sister-in-law ZhangBut it was polite to come up with such a contract right away?Or beware?

    Chen Nianguan would naturally say that he was being polite and cautious.

    First, they met Cang Monan by chance, but they were just friends who had been traveling for a while, how could they be so generous in lending such a big house?It must be that they have something for him to plot, so be polite.

    Secondly, even if Cang Monan was really kind and willing to lend the house because he was speculating with them, what should he do if there is an accident in the future and he suddenly turns his face or is forced to drive them out of the house?

    It's better to hold a paper lease, and the money is paid, that is, the two parties are doing business, and even if he is unwilling in the future, he has to let them live in the house for a year.

    Since Mr. Cang wants to sell them a good deal, he will not take advantage of the advantage. One hundred taels means that they can live in peace of mind, Mr. Cang can be considered a good one, and both parties can be satisfied.

    Chen Nianguan accepted the lease, and then turned to Zeng Si: "Master Zeng, the rent is cheaper for you, how about twenty taels?"

    Seeing Zeng Si's eyes widen in disbelief, Zhang Erlang turned around and smiled with his mouth pursed.

    Miss Chen Si, ah, now she should be called Mrs. Zhang Ersao and Mrs. Chen, really!

    Zeng Si was speechless.

    However, this house is rented by Chen Nianguan alone, she can really make the decision, and she really should give a share of the rent.

    Even if you rent it for half a year at twenty taels, living in such a nice house in Capital City will save a lot of expenses, which is super worth it.

    So he obediently asked his followers to pay for the money.

    After the money was collected, the luggage was moved in, so the distribution of rooms began.

    Chen Nianguan and Zhang Erlang naturally wanted to live in the main house, so the two east rooms and a side room of the main house were allocated to the two couples.

    As the sub-owner of the lease, Zeng Si lived in the west main room and the other side room, and his entourage and two guards were divided by him to live in the reverse room.

    As for the rest of the wing rooms, let everyone choose to live by themselves?????.

    So, Si Ya and Liu Yun lived in the guest room in the East Wing, Liu Qing and Liu Feng each lived in the West Wing, as for the rest of the people, they saw that there were two bunk rooms in the East Wing, and Liu Xiong, Liu Shi, and Xiao You lived in with Grandpa.In the west wing of a Xiaotong shop, Qimu and Daohe also lived in the Datong shop in the west wing, while Tao Bo and the original two handymen in charge of cleaning still slept in the first room.

    Because Tao Bo and the handyman were usually there to take care of them, there wasn't much dust in the house, and it was still clean and tidy, but the things in each room still needed to be cleaned, so everyone fetched water from the well and cleaned their rooms.

    After working hard, everyone was tired.

    Under the orders of the master, Tao Bo and two servants bought food from outside, sent them to the main room, and gave Chen Nianguan a greeting.

    When Mr. Cai brought them in just now, Tao Bo noticed that among the pedestrians was this gentleman, no no, this lady was in charge.

    Therefore, Tao Bo first greeted the club in the coming year with insight.

    Chen Nianguan and the others just happened to be hungry, and they took the boat and car all the way, and no one wanted to go to the kitchen to get food. Now that Tao Bo bought all the food in such a good way, they are all very grateful for their ability to do things, Chen NianguanHe also briefly met Tao Bo and the two handymen with a pleasant face, saying that they will work hard in the future and will never treat them badly.

    When it was time to return the money they paid for the food, Tao Bolian said no.

    "This idea of eating is given to you by our sons and wives, saying that it is for the young masters and wives to welcome you, and I also thank you all the young masters and wives for your care along the way."

    Everyone has already opened the food box and took out a table full of dishes to eat. Hearing Tao Bo address Mr. Cang Monan, Chen Nianguan asked, "Who is Mr. Cang?"
