【2】The Rich Second Generation Is Forced to Start All Over Again

Chapter 209 Onboarding

When looking for a house this time, Lu Xu took out all the banknotes.

The Hanlin Academy is in the Imperial City. If you want to be close to work, you have to go to the north of Dongcheng. There are no houses for rent in this location, and you have to buy them all.

Yan Junqi thought it was too expensive and said he would rent it first, but Lu Xu did not agree.

From where they live now to the Hanlin Academy, they have to get up before dawn. It takes nearly an hour to walk and half an hour to drive.

According to convention, after entering the Hanlin Academy, one usually has to stay there for five to ten years, at least three years.

Three years and more than a thousand days, how can you waste time commuting every day?

If I have this time, I might as well read two more books and sleep with him more.

Now that Jun Qi has passed the imperial examination, 90% of the time he will stay in Beijing to serve as an imperial scholar, so he can find a good house and settle down in the capital. Lu Xu believed that with Jun Qi's ability, he would definitely be able to get into a good government office after completing his qualifications. He would be able to stay in the capital for a long time, not just for a lifetime, but for ten or eight years.

The living environment is directly related to the happiness index. Since he has money, he must not wrong himself.

"If you save money on buying a house, you have to spend money on buying a horse. We don't usually travel far, so it is more cost-effective to buy a house."

Now he also knows that only ordinary people ride in mule carts, and officials from the DPRK and Central Government will be laughed at if they ride in mule carts.

"And if you live further north, you can find a better academy for Zhouzhou." Lu Xu added.

Under their conditions, they would not even think about studying at Taixue and Guozixue. They would not be able to get into it.

Origin and family background are not enough.

However, there are many academies in the capital, especially in Dongcheng. Now that Yan Junqi is considered an official, he can make recommendations to Lu Zhou, but recommendations are one thing, and they also depend on family conditions.

If he lived in Nancheng, Yan Junqi would not accept him no matter how recommended he was.

The farther north they live, the more options there are to choose from.

In a place like the capital, the most useful tools for asking questions are firstly power, secondly background, and thirdly money. There is nothing they can do about power and background for the time being, so Lu Xu, the elder brother, can only work hard on money.

Lu Xu and the others ran around for three days and compared back and forth, and finally found a house that was acceptable.

It's not far from the North City. It only takes about two minutes to walk to the entrance of the Imperial City via a shortcut. There is also a private school with a good reputation nearby.

The problem is that it's expensive.

Lu Xu, Yan Junqi, and Lu Zhou added up all the cash and banknotes they had to get enough.

In addition, the house is a bit old and they need to clean it up.

After buying the house, Lu Xu took apart the shoes hiding the gold, exchanged part of it for silver, and first found someone to repair the roof.

It's the rainy season down here. He can slowly repair other places, at least the house won't leak.

They spent another five days repairing the house, moving things from the small yard they originally rented, getting back the deposit, and buying daily necessities.
