Chapter 188
Delicacy Court.

As the largest restaurant in Yuhua Prefecture, the taste of the food and wine is naturally not bad.

While eating with relish, Niu Yu listened to Shen Xian talk about his life experience.

Putting a piece of chicken bone on the table, Niu Yu curled his lips and said, "Although he is not a small official, he looks difficult to get along with."

Shen Xian was speechless, not only was it difficult to get along with, the Gu family also had a team of mothers and daughters who spoke with guns and sticks, and each of them was difficult to deal with.

"Forget it, let's not talk about them, let's eat and eat."

After a full meal, the brothers and sisters of the Niu family and Yuechan opened their own rooms to rest.

Not long after, Gu Lanshu also came to the inn in a carriage.

In the past few days, Gu Lanshu has visited frequently, not for anything else, just to talk about the family's shortcomings with her daughter, and to make up for the debts of these years.

Gu Lanshu entered the room and sat at the table, took her daughter's hand and said, "Daughter, I heard from your grandfather that you plan to go to Beijing by yourself?"

"Well, there are a few friends here, and they just happened to go together."

Shen Xian said this just to reassure Gu Lanshu, even if there were no brothers and sisters from the Niu family, they would not go with Gu Hanlin.

Gu Lanshu was a little reluctant to part with her daughter, so she persuaded her heart and soul, "Daughter, I will discuss with your grandfather at night, and bring your friends with me, so that we can take care of each other even though the mountains are high and the roads are far away."

Shen Xian shook his head lightly, and said with a tangled expression: "Mother, let me tell you the truth, I've been used to being free all these years, and I don't want to be bound by that, so let us set off on our own."

Speaking of this, Gu Lanshu didn't want to embarrass her daughter, so she had to give up.

After that, Gu Lanshu pulled Shen Xian and Zhao Shun, gave them careful instructions, and then left from the inn.

Early the next morning, Gu Hanlin's team left from Yuhua State Mansion. Before leaving, Gu Lanshu and He specially woke up early to say goodbye to Shen Xian.

In order to avoid Gu Hanlin's team, Shen Xian deliberately waited for two days, and took the Niu brothers and sisters and the little maid to play in Yuhua Prefecture.

The day before his departure, Shen Xian held a banquet in Zhenxiu Pavilion to treat Yan Chongluan and Liu Qing, and it was a farewell to them.

When Yan Chongluan heard that Zhao Shun and Shen Xian were leaving, he thought they were going back to Yongle County.

"When you go back, you should take the dry road. Then you can go with Yan's convoy. If you have anything to do on the way, just tell them."

Zhao Shun and Shen Xian looked at each other, and suddenly remembered that they hadn't told Yan Chongluan that they were going to Beijing for the exam.

"Cough, Brother Yan, we are not going back to Yongle County, but to the capital."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Qing sprayed the wine on the ground.

"Brother Zhao, are you planning to go to Beijing to take part in the examination?"

Yan Chongluan was also shocked. Zhao Shun planned to pass all three major exams in one year, which is too outrageous.

Since ancient times, everyone has taken exams slowly. After passing a test, they will settle down first, and accumulate some experience before taking the next test.

But Zhao Shun passed the test three times in a row if he didn't take the test.

Under the shocked eyes of Yan Chongluan and Liu Qing, Zhao Shun nodded slowly, "Exactly."

Liu Qing was short of breath, and his chest was full of vigor, he said loudly: "Brother Zhao is really brave."

After taking a sip of wine, Liu Qing put down the drink heavily, "I would like to go with Brother Zhao!"

Yan Chongluan took a deep breath, he prefers doing business rather than studying, otherwise he wouldn't be so bad at the exam.

"Brothers, you have lofty aspirations, and my younger brother can't catch up with you. With my talent and learning, I might not be able to pass the exam. I can only congratulate you two for being named on the gold list."

In words, Yan Chongluan regretted not being able to advance and retreat with the two friends.

Liu Qing quickly waved her hand and said: "Brother Zhao is serious, I'm just trying my luck, whether I can survive or not is another matter, Brother Yan, don't be discouraged."

Zhao Shun filled up the wine, raised his glass and said, "Brother Yan, your accomplishments in business are far behind that of mine, and we may not be able to earn the money Yan made in this lifetime."

Shen Xian seldom saw Yan Chongluan looking disappointed, he has always been a happy young man from a rich family.

"Mr. Yan, why are people the same because they are different? Although we have gone to the capital, we may not be able to meet again in the future."

Yan Chongluan paused for a moment, his thoughts suddenly cleared up, he said again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, what Madam Sister-in-law said is too correct, it really enlightened me."

Shen Xian put a question mark in his heart silently, I really thought I didn't say anything serious.

Yan Chongluan filled his drinking glass, stood up and said vigorously: "I want to bring Yan's business to the capital and become the No. [-] trading firm in the capital. I just guard the foundation left by my ancestors. How can I be a real man!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing applauded on the spot.

"Brother Yan is so ambitious!"

Zhao Shun smiled heartily, cupped his fists and said, "Then I wish Brother Yan every success, and we will meet in the capital!"

"See you in the capital!"

Shen Xian held his cheeks and looked at them, this was probably the romance between men.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Liu Qing and Yan Zhongluan were very drunk, they helped each other back to their residence.

With a faint smell of alcohol on his body, Zhao Shun took Shen Xian's cool little hand back to the inn.

Shen Xian walked a few steps, and found Zhao Shun stopped, just about to ask, but saw Zhao Shun hurried into the tailor shop, bought a plush cloak, and put it on Shen Xian.

Feeling the warmth on his body, Shen Xian smiled sweetly.

"Thank you sir."

Hearing this, Zhao Shun laughed lightly, then seemed to think of something, and laughed several times, unable to stop at all.

"Why is my husband laughing?"

Shen Xian glanced at his cloak left and right, there was nothing strange about it, seeing him chuckling lightly and puffing out his cheeks in displeasure.

Zhao Shun slowed down, and said with an undiminished smile: "I laughed at the shopkeeper of the tailor shop, thinking that I didn't know the goods, so he gave me a cloak with a fox fur collar, and told me it was made of foxes."

Shen Xian tilted his head to look at him, and asked with a smile: "So you exposed him on the spot?"

Zhao Shun nodded with a light smile, silently looking up at the starry sky, with a beautiful arc on the corner of his mouth.

"A few months ago, I was a hunter, and suddenly I became a scholar rushing for the exam. I have experienced all kinds of things in the past. Thank you, my lady, for staying with me."

Shen Xian's ears were slightly hot, and his tone was twisted.

"You are a good person, and you are talking nasty things here again. How can you be glib after you become smart?"

Zhao Shun held her little hand tightly and asked softly, "Don't you like it, my lady?"

Shen Xian wrinkled Xiao Qiong's nose and snorted softly.

"I will not tell you!"

On the street, the moonlight chases people, and laughter like silver bells spreads all over the streets and alleys.

After returning to the inn, Shen Xian tidied up the clothes that he carried with him, counted the bank notes and put them together with his close-fitting clothes. When he arrived in the capital, money was used everywhere, so he must not lose the bank notes.
