Capital.

Mei Hanran looked at a few big characters on the city gate and jumped down from the carriage.

The dart master of the dart line also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his task was finally completed, and at this time, he could also settle the final payment with Mei Hanran and go home.

The journey was actually very smooth, and they all couldn't understand why this young man wanted to hire them to the capital.

Mei Hanran looked at a few dart masters and said, "How much silver do you get for a month in the dart shop?" ”

Each of the dart masters said a number.

Mei Hanran made a slight estimate that it would cost about one hundred taels of silver to hire these dart masters, and he could afford to hire them.

He said: "I have something to do in the capital, probably only need to stay for another month or so, this way I get along with you very pleasantly, I also want to hire you for another month, the amount of money according to your income in Yanzhou dart, in addition I will give you another fifty taels of silver in the dart shop, as the cost of hiring you, what do you think?" ”

Several dart masters are still very excited, so they receive double money, and the income of the dart shop is not low, which is a good thing.

Everyone looked at the leader of the dart master, and the dart master asked, "May I ask Mei Gongzi, what did you hire us for?" ”

Mei Hanran said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm not familiar with life in the capital, I need someone to help me do things, and since I'm already familiar with you, I don't plan to hire others, you just need to help me inquire about the news, do some errands, you don't need to fight and kill, you can think about it." ”

Mei Hanran stood there and waited quietly.

Several dart masters summed up a seat, readily agreed, and asked someone to bring a letter to the original dart board, and stayed by Mei Hanran's side, waiting for orders.

Mei Hanran found an inn to settle down and ordered them to inquire about Xiang Boqing's news and his master, Daru He Shouchuang.

Although they first came to the capital, they actually knew some people in the capital, and it didn't take long for them to inquire about the news that Mei Hanran wanted one by one.

Xiang Boqing has his own small courtyard in Beijing, which is in Zhegui Hutong, he is an elegant man, and often reciting poems against some aristocratic disciples in his small courtyard, playing the piano and painting.

He is a disciple of He Shouzhong, he has a good reputation, and the scholars in Beijing are also willing to give him face, and the people who come and go are either crazy people or powerful sons, and he has a good reputation among the literati.

He is also a bold person, often throwing a lot of money to hold feasts, and many people who like to join in the fun but have no real talent also like him.

After a while, he will hold a incense party, and the courtyard will be filled with peony flowers for guests to enjoy, and the invited people are famous people in Beijing.

Nowadays, people in Beijing want a post about the incense party, which is a status symbol that can be shown off to others.

In order to do a good job of welcoming the incense, he often goes to the flower party to choose flowers recently, people with good peonies often hold their own peony flowers to ask for sale, the story of some peony flowers is told well, even if their flowers are very ordinary, it is possible to be bought by Xiang Boqing, this is called buying incense, it is an extremely elegant thing.

Mei Hanran listened quietly, thinking in his heart, in this way, Xiang Boqing is an eclectic person, but very interesting.

If you want to become his disciple, you must first solve a Zhenlong Bureau, if you can take three steps on the Zhenlong Bureau, you will get a few words of guidance from the old man.

Those who can walk ten steps will get a book of poems from the old gentleman.

If you walk thirty steps, you can get a picture.

Whoever walks fifty steps can become his disciple.

Mei Hanran asked, "How many moves did Xiang Boqing take?" ”

"After walking sixty steps, I am already the most disciple under Mr. He's door."

Mei Hanran: "......"
