Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 184 Returning to Jinling
"I planned to ask you for a drink, but now I'm leaving, so I have to wait for the next time to drink."

Hu Qian asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"The imperial court and Dongyang are fighting on the southeast coast, and there seem to be a few very powerful onmyojis in the opposing team.

The town monster found me and asked me to help. "

Hu Qian wondered: "The last time I was in the capital, didn't I hear that an envoy named Nakamura Shengichi came to discuss peace.

Why is this fighting again? "

"When that guy returned to the country, the ship sank as soon as it got out of the dock. Both sides said that it was the other's responsibility. In addition, there were many wanderers making troubles along the coast. The emperor was angry and sent troops.

It's just that every time either the soldiers fell ill collectively, or the weather was unfavorable to our side, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured, but they still couldn't wipe out the ronin.

Later, Dongyang soldiers and ronin joined together and occupied four coastal cities. "

Hu Qian said: "Aren't you going to live in seclusion? Why are you out of the mountain again?

Besides, the chief commander and minor commander of Zhenyaosi are so powerful, how could they not even be able to deal with a few onmyojis. "

"Da Si Ming and their spells can still deal with ghosts, but the opponent is a human, and sometimes they are not very effective.

As for me……

I didn't want to at first, but this time it was Princess Zhiqin's handwritten letter, and I owed her a big favor again, so I had to go. "

After the two talked for a while, Yan Chixia took her leave and left.

Hu Qian kept sending him outside the city, and then came back and called Hu Jiu to his side.

"Have you found the house?"

Hu Jiudao: "I found a suitable one half a month ago, but the other party didn't want to rent it, and only wanted to sell it.

Master Hai somehow found out about this yesterday, and said that there is a house that has been vacant, and if the young master doesn't dislike it, he will live there first.

The younger one asked him about the rent, and he said that the young master can just give it as he sees. "

Hu Qian nodded, "Go and see his house."

Not long after, we arrived at Hai Daliang's house.

Naturally, the two sides exchanged pleasantries again, and then Hai Daliang led Hu Qian and Hu Qian to that house.

It also has three rooms and three rooms, but it is smaller than Hu Qian's West Courtyard in Jinling.

But it is enough to just take Shen Yuzhen and others over.

So Hu Qian asked Hai Daliang to write the paperwork and bet another 1000 taels of silver.

Hai Daliang originally planned to give this house to Hu Qian, but Hu Qian insisted on refusing, so he had to produce the paperwork and collect the money.

Knowing that Hu Qian would use it before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he hurriedly found someone to clean the house spotlessly and added a lot of furniture, so he was relieved to hand it over to Hu Qian.

After staying for a day, Hu Qian left gold talismans all over the house, and made amulets for Xue Ningshuang and Yingcai, and then sent the three of them in at night, and invited Mrs. Zhou to cook.

Mrs. Zhou was not very happy at first, but when she heard that it was five coins a month, she immediately beamed with joy.

Hu Qian moved Dou Ziping's ashes over and asked him to guard the gate.

Seeing that nothing was going on, he was relieved, and spent a long time with the three girls that night.

Early the next morning, the three of them said they were going to take him out, but they couldn't get out of bed.

He handed over all the affairs of the county government to He Lei, the new county magistrate, and Xu Fengnian, the famous criminal master, and then Hu Jiu drove back to Jinling.

Knowing that Hu Qian was back, Hu Butong and Zhao Shi were overjoyed and didn't know what to say.

Hu Qian handed the gifts brought from Guobei County to Hu Butong and Zhao Shi, bowed and said, "Are you all right, father and mother?"

Hu Bu said, "Okay, everything is fine."

Since we hadn't seen each other for a long time, Hu Butong didn't let Hu Qian go back to the west courtyard, and kept him talking in the east courtyard.

Hu Qian talked for a while, and asked the maidservant around Mrs. Zhao to invite Shen Yuzhen.

Shen Yuzhen got the news from the maid a long time ago, and started to dress up early, and even took out all the rouge and gouache that she hardly used before, and put on all the jewelry such as the wreath that Hu Qian gave her before.

Hearing the maid said that Hu Qian invited her over, my heart was beating wildly.

Before he put on his shoes, he couldn't wait to go out, and accidentally tripped on the threshold, but fortunately Xiaohuan pulled him quickly, so he didn't fall.

Originally prepared a lot of words, and asked Xiaohuan from time to time if there was anything wrong with her words.

However, when he got to the main hall of the East Courtyard, he only glanced at Hu Qian and forgot everything.

Seeing her coming, Hu Qian pulled her to sit next to him, and then held her hand without letting go.

If in the past, Hu Qian and Shen Yuzhen were so close, Hu Butong wouldn't ask any more questions.

But just now when Hu Qian said that he was going back long ago, he couldn't care less.

So he asked about the drought in Guobei County and Governor Ma.

After sitting for a while, Shen Yuzhen said in a low voice: "Since the husband is leaving tomorrow morning, I will tell the other sisters to pack up."

Only then did Hu Qian let go of her hand and said, "You go back first, and I'll come later."

During dinner, Shen Yuzhen came over again and said that things were almost packed.

Mrs. Zhao didn't want to let her son go, so she asked Shen Yuzhen to have dinner together in the east courtyard.

At one o'clock, Hu Budong and his wife reluctantly let Hu Qian go back to the west courtyard.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they saw Axiu, Lu Huanniang, and Chu Chu looking up at this side.

A few steps closer, Hu Qian said, "It's still a bit cold at night, so there's no need to stand here and wait."

Axiu has always been a seldom talker, so she couldn't help but said at this moment: "Sir, let's go into the house."

Huan Niang said: "I heard magpies singing on the branches this morning. I knew there must be a happy event. I didn't expect that my husband came back."

Chu Chu said: "It has been many days since Xianggong left, and I thought that Xianggong had forgotten..."

Feeling inappropriate after speaking, he looked at Shen Yuzhen cautiously.

Hu Qian apologized and said: "It's all about my husband's fault.

But Xianggong will pick you up to Guobei County. "

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, "Just now I was so focused on talking that I forgot to bring Mrs. Ma's ashes back. I wonder if there will be time to go again tomorrow morning?"

Shen Yuzhen said: "The concubine ordered someone to fetch it just now, and it has been put away by now."

Hu Qian nodded to her with a smile, and didn't say much.

Lu Huanniang and Chu Chu glanced at each other, both were overwhelmed with admiration.

Chuchu is a newcomer, so it is understandable that she does not know about Mr. Ma.

Lu Huanniang knew about Rong Ning'er and Ma Shoubei, but she never expected to invite Ma Shoubei's ashes back.

With such thoughts, it is no wonder that Hu Qian loves and respects her so much, and no one else is dissatisfied.

Sitting in the main hall for a while, Hu Qian hugged Lianlian first, and talked to her without caring whether she could understand or not.

The little guy was less than a week old, and he couldn't speak, but just looked at Hu Qian with a pair of big eyes.

After all, it is his own child, and the more Hu Qian looks at it, the more he loves it, and he has been reluctant to let go.

I asked Mrs. Lu Huan again, and learned that she was about to give birth.

He was about to say, or else we should leave Mrs. Lu Huan at home first, but Mrs. Lu Huan said first: "Master, my concubine will go with you no matter what."

Shen Yuzhen said: "Please ask a stable woman to follow, if you give birth along the way, don't worry."

Only then did Hu Qian agree.

While discussing things on the road, Shen Yuzhen suddenly took out a letter.

"This letter has been delivered for several days. It only said that it was to be addressed to the husband, and there was no signature."
