Wow — wife, you're getting bad.

Ren Ang began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter. It didn't matter if he only destroyed a few houses, he would still have to use all of the bad water from the Zhang Family.

After breakfast, she went to pay respects to the old granny, and accompanied the old man in chatting about interesting things. She Miao returned to the guest courtyard and tidied up her things, then followed the Yan Family up and headed to the Yan River with the rest.

The reason the Yanzhou Prefecture was named was because of the large river outside the city that was several tens of meters wide. Every year at noon, the big families in the city set up a wager, which attracted a group of boating experts to come to compete. The winner would receive a reward of no less than a hundred taels of silver!

Later on, there were also merchants who organized their own fleets to participate in the competition. They only wanted to boost the reputation of their own families, and the auspicious item was not the most important.

Today, there was also a fleet emerging from the Yan Family. The dragon boat was even more majestic than the one he had seen when he was young! It was bright red, like a ball of burning flames floating on the surface of a river! The riverside was packed with spectators. At a glance, there was a huge black mass of people! Even the trees on the riverbank were crawling with people. The sounds of talking and laughing and the crying of the children were very noisy, but they were also very vivid and pleasant to listen to.

The young man's eyes shone, and he almost stretched his neck to look.

The Yan Family s had their own sheds, and were right next to the sheds set up by the prefectures. In the middle of the sheds were two families that no one knew which one's face, so the Yan Family guys went to visit the Lord Prefect. The female servants went to meet the Madam Prefect.

The awning was covered with colorful silk, and the roof was covered with a thick curtain to protect the sun. The male and female members of the household were separated by two sides, and the middle part was separated by a bamboo curtain. This way, the people outside could not see anything, but the people sitting inside could clearly see the grand scene on the river!

Not to mention He Miao, even the little girls were chattering non-stop about the quality of their boat. Sometimes they talked about the blue one, sometimes they talked about the mighty purple one. Other than that, they also talked about whom's relative was on the dragon boat.

"I heard that there will be an extra wager this year!" The maid said happily.

The servant girl then echoed, "I heard that he was first. A shop or a manor can be given a year's exemption!"

However, the servant girl retorted softly, "That's not what I heard. I heard … The overseer said that those who get first place will be recommended to the noble people who come from the capital! "

"Really? Could it be that the rumors from a few days ago were true? Is someone really here to visit our Yanzhou City? " The remaining little girl immediately surrounded him.

The maidservant smiled shyly, "I can't be sure. I heard it from someone else."

"Who doesn't know that your father is a follower of the Old Master? "It's most likely true." The voices were a little loud, and a thirty year old nanny in the hut coughed a few times. The little girls immediately dispersed and stood in their respective seats, checking to see if the tables and chairs were set up, and if the tea, candies, and other snacks were prepared.

Only at this time did they notice the seedlings standing in front of the railings. Their faces became hot and they became somewhat embarrassed.

nanny walked up and greeted him with a smile and invited He Miao to take a seat. Everyone had seen the old granny's love for this girl, so the nanny naturally did not dare to slight her.

She Miao smiled as she thanked the Nanny Wang. It was not that the Yan Clan was slow, it was because the Sixth Miss Qiao Ying was originally Yan Zheng's cousin, the Third Branch's direct daughter, and also the young lady whose name was Qiao Ying. The young lady who had picked out Jinbao's accessories for her had only stayed behind because the entire clan went to the family of the Prefect's house to select them for her.

Zhao Pingan, who was separated by a curtain, was naturally present as well. Beside him were a few distant relatives and friends of people from Yan Family.

Although Zhao Pingan was unable to follow everyone from the Yan Family to pay their respects to the Lord Prefect, he knew his own limits. He did not feel embarrassed, but he still enjoyed watching the boats on the river, and asked the servants that served him about some things from time to time.

Ren Ang retracted his roots and felt slightly more at ease with Zhao Pingan.

He was just worried that the other party would suddenly have a cramp and request Yan Family to recommend him to the Prefect.

He Miao chatted with Brother Ping Ang for a while through the bamboo curtain before paying attention to the situation on the river again.

At this moment, three large ships slowly approached from the upper reaches of the wide river. They were at least three stories high! The cabin on the ship was shaped like an attic. There was a silk muslin wrapped around a pillar and strings of small colored lanterns and wind chimes hung at the corners of the pavilion. As the wind blew, the crisp sound of a bell could be heard from far away. On the mast, there was a row of large red lanterns the size of a copper drum. They were extremely beautiful, as if the morning sun had just jumped out of the river and strung them together.

The few girls whispered to each other, asking each other whose boat it was.

In the end, no one knew. Everyone felt somewhat regretful. Soon, their hearts were filled with gossip. They were all wondering if this person was a noble from the capital.

The young man listened attentively for a while, and suddenly, the pouch around his waist moved, causing Ren Ang to pull the young man's body from the side, and throw him into the pile of girls.

The girls were screaming while supporting She Miao, Nanny Wang also walked forward quickly, just as she was about to inquire about whether they were injured, the tent flap at the side was suddenly opened, revealing two men in luxurious clothing swaggering in. The servants outside could not stop him and could only follow him but did not dare to drag him out. After all, the masters were not present, so they were all worried if this was an acquaintance of one of the men from Yan Family.

All of the maidservants looked at him intently, but they did not recognize him. In order to avoid any suspicion, they all tried their best to avoid him. However, the two strange men's gazes were always on the girl. Especially when they had been on her face for the longest time, she had even felt a sinister aura, as if she was being stared at by a snake. It was sticky and cold.

The purse at his waist slightly moved.

Nanny Wang stepped forward and politely asked which family the guest was from and which man he was looking for. The attendants that were guarding outside also squeezed their way in, blocking in front of the maidservants and isolating themselves from the sinister gazes of the two.

The two men laughed and waved the folding fan in their hands: "I heard that all of the young misses in the manor are extremely beautiful. I only came to confirm with Young Master and to take care of my eyes." But now, it seemed, it was nothing. "It might as well be the Young Master in the library!" It is said that when Yan Jiu of the East Fence Hall entered your Yan Family, which master did he manage to take over? "Why aren't you calling him up to meet the old people?" Back then, we were his benefactors! "You have to give that little brat a taste of my sweetness!" "The sound of the waves, the feeling of ecstasy …"

The more he said, the more outrageous he became. It was simply a vulgar proverb that could not be heard!

The maidservants were so frightened that their faces turned pale. A violent storm was raging in the young man's heart as he thought to himself, This is bad! These two had come prepared to cause trouble!

At this time, a few guests who were seated next door also heard the commotion and came over. However, Zhao Pingan did not show himself, and found an excuse to escape.
