C85

This was exactly the kind of effect Madam Hou wanted. When the time came, no matter what the Marquis said, as long as his son wasn't willing, it would all be useless!

Shen Changyuan didn't know that his mother had brought him into the pit, and that his uncle had ordered him to patrol the various places for the summer collections. He had also checked the debts of the different prefectures, and thus left the house on leave with the Crown Prince. Firstly, he wanted to relax his mood by looking at the great rivers and mountains. Secondly, he wanted to learn from his uncle and also learn from him how to deal with official affairs. Third, he had to … If he was lucky, he might even meet that wild girl.

He had already found the address, it was in a small mountain village outside of a certain town under the Yanzhou Prefecture. Since his uncle was currently investigating at the Yanzhou Prefecture, he had to delay three to five days. He planned to find an excuse to go out with his three or five friends and meet that girl by chance. He also planned to make some movements to let her know the difficulties and retreat, so that she wouldn't have any presumptuous thoughts.

Unexpectedly, today, when he was casually strolling in the market, he actually encountered that wonderful scene.

The girl, who had beaten up the bandit, had a vigorous and agile figure. Her moves were simple and effective, making one unable to misjudge her!

What shocked him the most was that the young girl's appearance was similar to his aunt's!

He didn't know at the time that this person was his father's fiancee. He was only surprised at the other party's cleverness and intelligence. He had even blocked the hidden danger of him giving others information beforehand.

It was unknown what he was thinking, but he had been following that young girl the entire way, and he saw her entering the Yan Family's watchtower.

Afterwards, he did not return to the official ship parked on the surface of the river. Instead, he turned around and entered the Prefect's house.

He saw the girl again. The passionate, flamboyant, youthful face brimmed with joy and elation. She wantonly laughed and clapped her hands in excitement. Such an obvious emotion was something that had never been seen before among the noble ladies of the capital.

Shen Changyuan was lost in his thoughts for a moment, and only when someone beside him coughed lightly did he regain his senses.

"What are you thinking about? You didn't even hear your uncle call you." Ren Zihua placed a cup of hot tea in front of the youth, and laughed, "I didn't expect that there would be such a good tea in Yanzhou Prefecture. "Taste it."

Shen Changyuan retracted his thoughts, picked up his tea cup, and after looking at it carefully, he laughed: "This cup is thin and clear, its color is like jade, I'm afraid even the objects in the official kiln are only so-so." He took a sip of the tea and swallowed it slowly. "Nephew," he said, "it tastes like Jun Shan."

Ren Zihua nodded his head, "Uncle's house only had a small bag of half a catty worth of things, and gave it all to your aunt. Your aunt is very generous, she turned around and gave it to the old lady. " That half kilogram Jun Shan had actually won it in a wager with his comrade, there was almost no market for it, but he did not expect that the Yanzhou City Prefecture Lord would be so generous, treating all his guests like this.

Shen Changyuan thought about it carefully and his mood suddenly turned bad.

Even an uncle couldn't easily get something like this. The Prefect took it out the moment he took it out. This …

"In recent years, Yanzhou City have always been poor, and after three years, they had become both arid and a plague of locusts. They always wanted the Emperor to ask them to give them three years of exemption from taxes. From the looks of it, someone was exaggerating. The drought in the southwest is a thing of the past. "

Shen Changyuan lowered his head, and did not dare to reply.

Ren Zihua glanced at him, then chuckled: "Speak, brat, why are you following me to Yanzhou City?"

Shen Changyuan said with a serious face, "If you want to read ten thousand books, you might as well travel ten thousand miles. "Nephew is here to follow uncle's experience."

Ren Zihua declined to comment. He had also heard about the matters of the Shen Family. It was for the sake of studying, for the sake of being angry, it did not affect his performance in the slightest. He had come by chance to 'meet' and reunite with 'son'! Oh, sharing the Emperor's worries is only a matter of convenience.

"Tomorrow I want to go to the rich families in the city to have fun, but I can't take you with me. "What are your plans?"

Shen Changyuan almost choked on his tea as he coughed twice. His face flushed red and he spoke with a stifled tone, "Uncle, how can you be like this! Aunt will be hurt! " Saying so, she stared at him with a pair of accusatory eyes.

Ren Zihua lazily leaned back on his pillow, supporting his head with one hand, he spoke in boredom: "Your aunt is really generous. If she's sad, I'll be happy. "

Shen Changyuan was slightly startled. What do you mean? Could it be that he was magnanimous enough to allow his husband to have fun? Then, he recalled the warm and fragrant rumours that he had heard about …

He suddenly smelled something different.

Seeing that, the honest child's face suddenly revealed a look of fear, Ren Zihua laughed.

"I'm just teasing you." Uncle went to the rich family to search for money. " After saying that, he raised his index finger and made a fishing gesture. "Willing, willing, willing, and willing."

Today, he had received several invitations, all of which belonged to top families within the city. Although he, a third rank official, was involved with these wealthy merchants and was disrespectful of his reputation, no one could say that he was in the wrong for doing things for the emperor!

The process wasn't important. What was important was that he could help the emperor get the silver back!

This year's food and tax revenue should be received by him, who was in charge of the Department of Revenue! He hoped that those rich merchants would be more tactful. After all, next year, the Prefect was going to replace the Prefect.

Shen Changyuan heaved a sigh of relief and told his his plans for tomorrow.

"Nephew wants to learn more about the countryside and go up the mountain to catch a few wild animals to give to Uncle as a toothpick."

Ren Zihua raised his eyebrows. Bring a few experts with you, don't let others bully you. " Although there were no bandits here, there were also occasional troubles. There was nothing wrong with being careful.

Shen Changyuan agreed and rested for a while with his uncle.

As for Yan Zheng, when he returned home at night, he narrated everything that had happened during the feast that the Residence invited. That Lord Ren is very friendly, and even asked us with concern about the harvests, how did the business path go, and how did someone make things difficult for us. "

Father Yan nodded, and Yan Zheng continued, "Father has already passed to me the invitation card, and I, your son, have handed it over. The officials at Lord Ren's side accepted it, but did not give any reply.

"Nothing. Your excellency has come from afar, you must have some business to attend to. I'm just being polite and being a host, adults don't necessarily look up to us. However, we still need to greet the steward and the rest of the families and remind them to be careful. "

This time, Old Master Yan was wrong. Lord Ren thought very highly of them!

Early in the morning on the second day, Ren Zihua brought a scribe and a guard to his doorstep. The prefect's family didn't even know when this lord had left. They were currently looking around anxiously for someone!

Just as Ren Zihua was instructing the guards to go up and knock on the door, he suddenly saw a line of people aggressively walking down the street.

He watched as the group of men and women, with their imposing auras, arrived in front of the Yan Residence and knocked forcefully on the door. The door opened and a genial smile appeared on his impatient face, and he greeted her politely.

The leader, a woman with a harsh expression, stood up and pointed at him while cursing:

"Your Yan Family, on the other hand, are ruthless, beating our third young master so hard that he can't get down from his bed! Is there even any justice in this!? "
