Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 103

Hu Qian walked over and took a closer look.

This is a clay sculpture of a horse.

The horse was tall and majestic, but there were three black snakes molded on the horse's legs—they were the black snakes that were encountered on the road to Nande.

He shook his head with a smile, and the other party even found his home.

Fortunately, I left the golden talisman for Shen Yuzhen and others before, so I am not afraid of any accidents.

Seeing that Hu Qian remained silent, Shen Yuzhen immediately sensed a problem, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Hu Qian smiled and said, "It's okay, a gift from a friend."

After speaking, he drew a talisman and pasted it on the clay sculpture.

After that, they took out the gifts bought for Shen Yuzhen and the others, and they were very happy.

Passing through the main courtyard, you can see that the water pavilions, arch bridges and ponds set up before have all been built.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the water surface was sparkling, and a dozen lotus flowers were in full bloom.

Shen Yuzhen said: "This is a variety introduced by Huan Niang. It was brought back from the south by someone specially invited, and it can bloom until September."

Hu Qian said: "Although the lotus is beautiful, it can't compare with a few beauties after all."

All four of Shen Yuzhen blushed.

Hu Qian asked, "Have they all been named?"

Shen Yuzhen said: "The concubine named the water pavilion Tingtao, and the eunuch named the pond Quxie. As for the arch bridge?"

She smiled slightly, "Ning'er chose the name, let her tell you by herself."

Rong Ning'er pouted and said with a smile: "My sister is laughing at me again."

Hu Qian asked curiously, "What's your name?"

Rong Ning'er said, "It's called bullfighting."

Hu Qian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Dou Niu Qiao, um, not bad.

Tingtao Water Pavilion, Quxie Pond, and Bullfighting Bridge are all good.

Why doesn't Axiu take one? "

Axiu said: "I don't know many words, so I dare not take it."

Hu Qian touched her stomach and said, "Then give the child in the belly a name."

Axiu looked at Shen Yuzhen, then looked at Hu Qian and said, "It's impossible, let the master, the husband, or the sister pick it up."

Hu Qian said: "It's just a baby name. If I let you take it, then you will take it."

Axiu hesitated for a moment and said: "I have thought about it, if a boy is called Xiao'er, and a girl is called Lianlian, what does my husband think?"

"Very well, that's it."

Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hu Qian and Shen Yuzhen first had dinner with Hu Butong and Mrs. Zhao before returning to their courtyard.

In the evening, Hu Qian took his four daughters to drink and enjoy the moon at the Tingtao Water Pavilion with great interest.

Not long after, Axiu, Rong Ning'er and Huan Niang left early in a tacit agreement, leaving Shen Yuzhen alone to accompany Hu Qian.

Worried that Shen Yuzhen would suffer from the cold, Hu Qian said he wanted to go back to the house.

Shen Yuzhen was extremely happy in her heart, and when she was about to leave, Hu Qian held her back and said in a low voice, "My lady, I will carry you back."

Before Shen Yuzhen agreed, he picked her up by the waist and walked back to the main room step by step.

She was afraid of being seen, so she buried her face in Hu Qian's arms in shame.

After Xiaohuan took care of the two of them washing up, they retreated to the outside room.

Although she is a maidservant, she also knows that Xiao Biesheng is newly married.

So seeing the two of them being intimate and lingering before anything else happened, I knew that I would not be able to sleep well tonight.

Sure enough, not long after arriving outside, Shen Yuzhen heard Shen Yuzhen's suppressed breathing.

The night passed like that.

When eating morning and evening, seeing that Shen Yuzhen hadn't gotten up, Rong Ning'er and the others all showed knowing smiles.

Hu Qian chatted with a few people, and asked Hu Jiu to post a post at the home of Guo Yu and Du Jianzhi, saying that he would invite them to drink in Zuixian Tower the day after tomorrow.

After leaving for dozens of days, Hu Qian felt that he had treated Shen Yuzhen and others badly, so he just stayed at home with them all day.

In addition to drinking and admiring flowers, and reciting poems, he also often walked around with Axiu and listened to Lu Huanniang playing a new piece of music.

In the afternoon, Rong Ning'er hurriedly asked Yingcai to make the bed.

He also asked her to prepare hot water aromatherapy, which made the whole room fragrant.

In the evening, seeing that Hu Qian really came, he couldn't help jumping for joy in his heart, and rushed to meet him.

Just as she was about to speak, Hu Qian untied her gown and hugged her on the bed.

"Sanggong, what are you doing behind this concubine... ah..."

Until the third watch, the two were still entangled together.

After the incident, Hu Qian lay on the bed, picked up Rong Ning'er, and put him face to face.

Seeing her lazy look, she couldn't help joking: "You, only at this time can you be quiet for a while."

Rong Ning'er said: "If Mr. Xiang likes the concubine to be quiet, then the concubine will be honest afterward."

Hu Qian said: "What's the point of that, the husband likes you like this.

By the way, is there any news about your sister recently? "

When mentioning her sister, Rong Ning'er suddenly looked sad, shook her head and said, "No."

"It's okay, your sister is very smart, she should be fine."

Another day later, Hu Qian arrived at Zuixianlou in the morning, and after preparing food and wine, Guo Yu and Du Jianzhi arrived.

The three exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Guo Yu asked about what happened after Liang Jing broke up.

Hu Qian briefly explained the process of exorcising the demons, which amazed the two of them.

Guo Yudao: "Thanks to Jinggong, Zheng Yi has recovered a few days ago, but it has been delayed for a long time, otherwise he could go to Liang Jing with us."

Speaking of this, Hu Qian asked: "What is the general list of the township examination?"

Du Jian knew: "Some are fast and some are slow. Some of them released the list before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it will be this month at the latest."

Guo Yudao: "Speaking of which, it's been a few days, respectful, are you sure?"

Hu Qian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult this time, but you two should have no problem, right?"

Du Jianzhi shook his head and smiled wryly: "Brother Dezheng should be sure of everything, but I... it's good if you don't get into trouble. How dare you expect to be successful."

Hu Qian was taken aback for a moment, before he could speak, Guo Yu said first, "You must have violated the emperor's name taboo, right?"

Du Jianzhi slapped his forehead, "At that time, I didn't know what I did wrong, but I forgot about it. Afterwards, I wanted to give money to Mr. Ye to help cover it, but I couldn't find him."

Hu Qian carefully recalled that the current emperor's name is Zhu Mingxi, and his reign name is Pingtai.

"Didn't you reduce your strokes?"

"Ugh……"

Du Jianzhi had a sad face and just drank in suspense.

Hu Qian was about to comfort him, when he suddenly thought of a question, "What did you just say, did you not find Mr. Ye?"

"Yes! I have all my money ready! When I went to find him, I heard that he had just left the examination room and was taken away."

"You can see clearly, who is that?"

"I just heard that too."

Hu Qian suddenly had a bad feeling.

Just thinking about it, Hu Jiu ran up quickly and shouted, "Master, are you there?"

Hu Qian agreed, and Hu Jiu hurried to the inner room, out of breath, and said, "Master, big... big... great joy!"

Hu Qian took the cup and poured him a cup, and asked him to sit down again, "Speak slowly!"

Hu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily from ear to ear: "Master, you have been selected!"
