Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 38 This lady, have you taken a fancy to my wife?
After careful consideration, Hu Qian still decided not to bring people over.

Although Shen Yuzhen always wanted him to take a concubine, she definitely felt uncomfortable.

But Shen Yuzhen insisted on refusing to do so, and said that Mama Liu's house was already in trouble, and if she didn't send her, the whole family would have to go hungry together.

Hu Qian had no choice but to agree, first let Axiu come to the mansion to help Liu Ma.

After a day of leisure, Hu Qian was reading a book when Shen Yuzhen suddenly came in from outside.

"Sir, Axiu is here."

Hu Qian was taken aback, and when he left the study, he saw a girl with wheat complexion standing in the corridor. Although she was dressed in coarse linen, she couldn't hide her graceful figure.

Especially the size of the chest, one is comparable to Shen Yuzhen's two.

Seeing Hu Qian and Shen Yuzhen coming out, she immediately blessed her, "I have seen the young master and young lady." Yan Bi straightened up.

Hu Qian nodded and coughed lightly, "Are you Axiu?"

"Yes, it is."

Maybe Liu Ma had already told her these things, and she was afraid to look into Hu Qian's eyes.

"Well, you can stay in the mansion and be a helper for Mama Liu first, would you like to?"

"My family is willing." After finishing speaking, he hesitated again, looked at Hu Qian timidly and said, "Master, can I let my family have a meal first?"

Hu Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then asked Xiaohuan to take her to the kitchen.

Shen Yuzhen gently took Hu Qian's arm, "What do you think, my husband?"

Hu Qian said: "Let's talk about it after the New Year."

It was the twelfth lunar month, and Hu Qian was exhausted from reading. He happened to hear from Xing'er that there was a Narcissus Temple in Beicheng. These two days, there was a Water and Land Ceremony. It was very lively.

He thought about going out with Shen Yuzhen.

Because he was in the city, he didn't bring his servants with him, only him and Shen Yuzhen.

Before setting off, Shen Yuzhen suddenly said: "Master, people say that the statue of Master Liu in the Narcissus Temple is very efficacious, and I want to pay my respects."

Xing'er said: "Young Madam, I'm afraid I won't be able to go there, only men are allowed in there."

Xiaohuan said: "Then what's the problem, just dress up as a young master."

Hu Qian laughed, "Okay, you two hurry up and dress up the lady as a man."

Shen Yuzhen said: "Sir, isn't this against etiquette?"

Hu Qian said: "The lady is pretending to be a man, only the four of us know, and it doesn't bother anyone else, what does it matter.

If you don't want to, my husband won't force you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the statue of Zhenren Liu. "

Shen Yuzhen hesitated for a while, but agreed.

So Xiaohuan and Xing'er tied her hair up, put on a square scarf, and changed into Hu Qian's usual clothes. Except that the clothes were a little too big, everything else was fine.

Coupled with the cold weather, wearing thick clothes, you can't see anything even if you cover it.

So I folded the clothes in two layers from the waist, and sewed them finely with a needle and thread.

After everything was packed, a Mr. Pian Pian immediately appeared in front of everyone.

I saw her delicate features and gentle features like jade, even Hu Qian couldn't match her.

Hu Qian walked around her twice and praised: "Fortunately, the lady is not a man. If she is a man, all the girls in the world will fall in love with you."

Xiaohuan joked: "If the maidservant didn't know in advance, I'm afraid the soul will be taken away by the lady."

Shen Yuzhen said: "Stop making fun of me."

Hu Qian said: "Well, I have to get another folding fan."

So Shen Yuzhen was given a folding fan and a jade pendant with tassels.

Xing'er said: "Madam, if someone asks about your identity, how should you answer?"

Shen Yuzhen looked at Hu Qian, who laughed, "Just say it's my brother Hu Xun, how about it?"

So the two went out the door one after the other.

When he arrived at the front yard, Hu Jiu, who was cleaning the yard, immediately bowed and said, "Master, husband..."

He hadn't finished speaking the three words "Young Madam", when he looked up and saw that the person in front of him was dressed as a man, he was so frightened that he quickly shut up, but judging by his face, it was undoubtedly the Young Madam.

Hu Qian said: "Oh, this is my brother Hu Xun."

I don't know if there is a second young master in Hu Jiuxindao's family.

The face is still respectful: "Second young master."

When Shen Yuzhen was not out of the court, she just read, practiced calligraphy, played the piano and painted paintings. After marrying Hu Qian, she rarely left the hospital. She had never done such absurd things in her life.

At this moment, I felt my heart beating faster and my blood rushing up.

When I went out, I felt a kind of excitement that I had never had before.

The two talked and laughed as they walked.

Shen Yuzhen was a little guilty at first, but after a while, seeing that no one recognized her, she was a little relieved.

Hu Qian said: "Second brother."

Shen Yuzhen was taken aback, "Huh?"

Hu Qian tapped her lightly with a folding fan, "I'm calling you."

Shen Yuzhen smiled sweetly, imitating the appearance of a man and cupping her hands: "Yes, big brother."

"By the way, this is decent. You have to pay attention to your walking posture. It should be more chic and generous."

So the two played while walking, and gradually arrived at the Narcissus Temple in Beicheng.

Before I got close, I saw a lot of people on the street, and there were many vendors beside it.

Selling food, toys, clay figurines, cats, dogs and rabbits, all kinds of things attract many adults and children to stop.

Going further, you will arrive at the main entrance of the Narcissus Temple.

Suddenly there was a Sanskrit sound coming from the noisy market. On both sides of the temple gate, golden curtains fluttered in the wind. On the lower right, there is a monument of merit.

Although it was approaching noon at this time, there were still many good men and women in front of the temple gate.

Hu Qian and the two followed the crowd forward, and when they reached the merit monument, they suddenly heard a voice say: "Mr. Hu!"

The two followed the reputation and saw that it was a servant of the state government, so they bowed their hands in return.

The man looked at Shen Yuzhen, although it was strange, he didn't ask any more questions.

Just like this, Shen Yuzhen was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

After entering the temple, the two bought joss sticks and walked slowly towards the statue of Zhenren Liu.

It is rumored that he was a failed scholar, and because he saved the dragon girl, the Dragon King made the weather in this place smooth, and the people felt grateful for his kindness, so they built a statue of him here.

Later, he became a Jinshi and had eight children, so people often come here to ask for children.

Hu Qian and the two were bowing devoutly, when they suddenly heard an old voice behind him saying: "Young Master Hu."

Hu Qian looked back and saw that it was Uncle Li, the housekeeper of Ma Shoubing's family, so he said, "Uncle Li, sir Shoubing is welcome."

"Master has been busy with official duties these days, and he used to talk about thanking the young master. And the second lady, too..."

While he was talking, he suddenly looked at Shen Yuzhen and asked strangely, "Who is this young master?"

Hu Qian said: "This is my second brother, Hu Xun."

Li Bo cupped his hands and said, "So it's the second son, I'm sorry."

Shen Yuzhen said excitedly: "It's okay... No, Uncle Li is polite."

Hu Qian said: "My second brother is introverted and doesn't like to go out. Please don't take offense if he is rude."

Li Bo said: "Where, where, the second son is a good-looking talent, polite and courteous, why do you think it is strange?"

The two talked for a while, and Uncle Li took his leave and left.

Shen Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, tugged at the corner of Hu Qian's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Master, I can't keep my clothes on anymore, let's go back quickly."

Hu Qian said: "Don't worry, there is a restaurant not far away, let's go back after eating."

So he took Shen Yuzhen to the private room of the restaurant and saw a Yaoqin inside. Hu Qian said with a smile: "Lady, I heard that you are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. My husband has never seen it before. Can you caress me for your husband today?" song?"

Shen Yuzhen said: "That concubine is showing her shame."

Immediately sat in front of the piano, plucked with jade hands, and the sound of the piano was ding-dong. There were love, sighs, and even more indelible worries in the music.

At the end of the song, Hu Qian clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the lingering sound will last for three days."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a stunning woman in the opposite private room looking through the window.

Not long after, an old mother knocked on the door and came in. When she saw Hu Qian and the two of them, she smiled and said, "May I ask who is playing the piano just now?"

Shen Yuzhen said: "It's Xiaosheng, I don't know if this old mother is..."

The old mother said: "My lady has a letter for the young master." She said and handed an envelope to Shen Yuzhen.

Hu Qian was taken aback.

The lady across from me has taken a fancy to my wife?
