After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 164 Arriving at Yuhua Prefecture
The morning sun shines, dispelling the damp and cold fog.

The ferry that was open overnight has become orderly, with businessmen, tourists, and scholars constantly flowing.

Zhao Shun originally planned to leave quietly with Shen Xian early in the morning, but unexpectedly, before dawn, the county magistrate led people to squat at the door.

"I've seen the Immortal Venerable, and the officer has prepared a sedan chair, please ask the Immortal and the Venerable Madam to get on the sedan chair together."

Seeing that his daily service was in place, Shen Xian didn't know what expression to make for a moment, and could only hold back his smile with difficulty.

Zhao Shun's eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and his demeanor was detached. He nodded very casually, and then got into the sedan chair.

The more he didn't take the county magistrate seriously, the more the magistrate respected him, because only the worldly masters had such confidence, if Zhao Shun kept being polite to him, he would show cowardice and make people suspicious.

"Get up the sedan chair, get up the sedan chair!"

The county magistrate raised his hand, and several coolies immediately picked up the sedan chair and rushed towards the ferry.

But the county magistrate didn't show respect, and chose to follow the back door on foot. The reason why he was so concerned was that apart from being afraid of Zhao Shun, the main reason was that he was greedy for the elixir that could prolong life.

In order to swallow the elixir alone, Daoist Ziyun just came back last night, he drove people away overnight.

At Lingyun Ferry, an exquisite large ship was parked, and the county magistrate spent a lot of money to rent a merchant ship that forgot to return to the Li River.

Zhao Shun got off the sedan chair, and the county magistrate pointed out: "Xianzun, this is specially arranged for you by the junior official. I wonder if you are satisfied?"

Seeing that he was so willing to put down the money, Zhao Shun understood what he meant. It was to ask for benefits, but luckily he and his daughter-in-law were well prepared.

"Give it to him."

Zhao Shun stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the rolling river, as if he didn't care about these little things.

Shen Xian took out a porcelain bottle from his luggage and put it in the magistrate's hand.

She cleared her throat and said in a condescending tone: "Immortal Venerable bestowed the medicine, this is your fairy fate, please don't thank me."

The county magistrate held the medicine bottle high in both hands, and knelt on the ground with a plop in front of the people passing by, without any dignity at all.

"Thank you Xianzun!"

Glancing at him lightly, Zhao Shun stepped onto the deck steadily, followed by Shen Xian, looking at the host clearly, as if he was really a Taoist companion serving him.

After the boat sailed, Shen Xian and Zhao Shun stood on the deck, watching Ping'an County gradually disappear from sight, they looked at each other and laughed out loud.

"This county magistrate has done all kinds of bad things, it's not too much for us to play tricks on him." Zhao Shun said with a light smile.

"If he knows that the medicine is just batter and ashes kneaded together, I don't know if he will vomit blood on the spot in anger." Shen Xian couldn't straighten up with a smile, there was already a picture in his mind,
The river flowed downstream, the merchant ship was very stable, and Shen Xian did not experience seasickness.

After more than a day, the merchant ship docked at the port of Yuhua Prefecture without incident.

After setting foot on the land, Shen Xian checked the salutes and said: "Let's go to an inn to rest first. You should study hard at the inn before the government exam starts. I will go to Mr. Yan to discuss business matters."

"Okay, let's go."

Entering the gate of the state capital, you will see the bustling streets with carved beams and painted buildings. The style of the buildings and the width of the streets are much stronger than that of the small county town of Yongle County.

The government exam is just around the corner, and you can see scholars preparing for the exam everywhere on the street. Some gather in restaurants and inns, and some are struggling with money.

Choosing a well-regulated inn, Shen Xian paid the fee, accompanied Zhao Shun upstairs, had a simple meal, and after a rest, Shen Xian inquired and searched towards the Yan family's mansion.

In the yamen of Futai, Qin Buhui sat in front of the desk, tirelessly correcting official affairs.

After the death of Feng Henian, the former mansion, he took over the Yuhua Prefecture mansion under Xiao Xuangu's operation.

After spending a lot of time dealing with Feng Henian's cronies, Qin Buhui completely controlled the entire state capital.

The spy in black outside the door walked quickly into the study, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, the person you are following has arrived."

Qin Buhui paused and said, "Continue to stay still and ensure his safety."

"Yes!" The spies followed orders and disappeared.

Putting down the official duties in his hands, Qin Buhui smiled lightly, and said to himself: "Before going to the capital, let me try it out, do you really have that ability?"

Outside Yan's mansion, Shen Xian expressed his intention to the porter.

After the concierge learned of her identity, he went in suspiciously and informed her.

In the inner house in the backyard, Yan Chongluan and his father Yan Bugu were talking about playing chess.

Mr. Yan is in his forties, with black hair that doesn't look old. He landed a sunspot on the chessboard with a 'Bada', and then laughed and said, "You boy is not my opponent. Look at it and lose again."

Yan Chongluan was very dissatisfied, he stretched out his hand to pinch the sunspot under Master Yan, and then said in a repeated voice: "It's not, I didn't see it."

"Hey, boy, you regretted seven or eight times in the next game of chess." Master Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

Yan Chongluan sent out the trump card, and said secretly: "If you don't let me regret the game, I will tell my mother that you secretly go to Goulan to listen to the music this morning."

Master Yan's complexion changed, and he glanced around in a panic, "Ahaha, it's just regretting a move, what is it called?"

Yan Chongluan took away the pawns from his father, and contentedly blocked his next move.

The father is kind and the son is filial, and the atmosphere is good. A woman in a brocade dress walked into the yard.

Her temples were tall and full of hairpins, and her melon-seeded face under the temples was very delicately maintained. Although she was over forty years old, she could not see the slightest trace of time.

Walking to Master Yan's side, she stretched out her hand and gently twisted Master Yan's ears.

"I heard you went to listen to Xiaoqu today?"

Master Yan covered his ears bitterly, and met Mrs. Yan's eyes hiding the knife in her smile.

"Oh, Ma'am, what are you talking about? How can I go to that kind of place, just passing by, passing by."

"Hmph." Madam Yan let him go coldly, and said angrily, "Now that the chamber of commerce is being squeezed so badly, it's good for you two, and you still have the time to play chess here."

When Yan Chongluan saw his old lady coming, he was about to run away, but Madam Yan grabbed her by the collar and brought her back.

"Especially you kid. The test is coming soon. Everyone else is preparing for the test. You don't want to sign up. Are you going to be a child for the rest of your life?"

Yan Chongluan looked serious, "Mother, is my son the kind of person who is not self-motivated! But I just passed the test as a child, so I have to wait three to five years to talk about the test."

"You." Madam Yan poked him hard on the forehead, and sat on the chair helplessly.

Being taught by his wife in front of his son, Mr. Yan was a little nervous. He coughed dryly and pretended nothing happened, and said slowly: "Perfume has a lot of profits, and it is normal for people to covet it. This chamber of commerce meeting is fierce. Those people They all stretched their necks and waited for a piece of the pie, but my Yan family is not so easy to bully, it's not like they will share it if they say so."
