On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

out the rear window.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe left quietly.

As expected, Li Zheng mentioned Qingshi Temple.

It seems that this Taoist temple must be an unusual place.

They left and returned in a small boat and landed before reaching the village entrance. The boat was hidden in the grass and no one noticed it.

After leaving Li Zheng's house, Yan Ruyu said: "It seems that we are going to visit Qingshi Temple."

Huo Changhe thought for a while: "If Li Zheng has a connection with the Taoist temple, and he and the village chief are greedy for money, it will be easy for us to catch them alone, but if we say it is true, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

Yan Ruyu knew that he must have an idea.

"What does your lord mean?"

Huo Changhe smiled slyly: "I have to borrow someone else's reputation."

Yan Ruyu understood instantly: "Good idea."

……

The county magistrate was bored, and as the weather got colder, he became more and more lazy to go out. A brazier was lit in the house early, and the warmth made him so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.

Suddenly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and someone pushed the door open and came in.

"grown ups!"

This shout made him jump and almost lose his soul.

"What are you doing? Why are you making such a fuss!"

The county magistrate came over quickly: "Sir, hurry up and go to the gate of the government office."

The county magistrate waved his hands irritably and closed his eyes again: "That woman from Luojiazhuang again? Drive her away. If she doesn't leave, we will drag her to jail and lock her up for three days!"

"Oh, no, it's not her, it's a big shot!" The county magistrate stamped his foot, "It's the governor and his wife who have arrived!"

The county magistrate suddenly opened his eyes: "What? Who are you talking about?"

"Provincial Governor, Governor Sun and his wife!"

The county magistrate jumped up from the bed: "Quickly, change clothes!"

Outside.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe stood beside the carriage, and Huo Changhe put a cloak on her.

"Is it cold?"

"It's okay," Yan Ruyu held a small hand stove in her hand, which was warm.

Li Jingyao stood not far away, expressionless.

Huo Changhe glanced at him: "Butler, go look around later to see if there are any snacks that Madam likes."

Li Jingyao rolled his eyes inwardly: "Okay, sir."

Along the way, I changed several roles! Several!

Just as he was secretly cursing, there was a sound of footsteps inside, and someone shouted: "Hurry, open the door!"

The door opened on the left and right, and the county magistrate rushed out with people.

"The governor has arrived, but the subordinates are far away to welcome you. Please forgive me for neglecting the governor."

Huo Changhe said calmly: "Magistrate Cao, it doesn't matter if you miss your welcome from afar. The key is not to lose your official dignity and appearance."

Magistrate Cao touched his official hat on his head, and the county magistrate hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Yes, yes, the governor's teachings will be remembered by my subordinates, please!"

Magistrate Cao turned sideways and welcomed the two people in.

Li Jingyao drove the carriage and turned around to leave.

Magistrate Cao said: "That is..."

"My butler, go buy some snacks for my wife."

Magistrate Cao was stunned for a moment and then laughed twice: "Yes, yes, Madam and Your Excellency are so affectionate, it's really... haha. I wonder what Madam likes to eat? I can also send someone to prepare it."

"Thank you, Magistrate Cao. No need," Yan Ruyu said.

Magistrate Cao was unsure of their temperament and did not dare to say more. He led them to the front hall and wondered why they came.

After sitting down, Huo Changhe said: "I am in disguise and accompanying my wife to meet an old friend. I passed by this place and heard that Magistrate Cao was here, so I came to have a look."

"You didn't disturb Magistrate Cao's business, did you?"

Magistrate Cao felt extremely embarrassed and quickly stood up and said: "Where is it? I'm the official..."

"The lower official handles county affairs every day for the sake of the people. Now that I have to meet the Lord, I must not neglect it. It is a major event."

Yan Ruyuxin said that Magistrate Cao was quite good at talking and flattering, but it was a pity that this wisdom was not used on the people.

After Magistrate Cao finished speaking, Huo Changhe didn't say anything for a while and just lowered his head to drink tea.

He felt a little guilty and couldn't figure it out.

Passing by? Maybe, but it doesn't make sense to say that he came here to take a look after hearing that he was here. The key is that he has no friendship with the governor, and has never seen him face to face. He only saw him from a distance once when he went to Lincheng. .

His official position was small and it was really not his turn to show his face in front of the governor.

For a time, my mind was spinning several times.

Just when he was feeling uneasy, Huo Changhe finally spoke again: "I heard that there are many outstanding people here and there are many strange and auspicious things. I just happened to bring my wife to have a look. I'm afraid I have to stay a few more days. I wonder if it's inconvenient for Magistrate Cao?"

When County Magistrate Cao heard this, he was even more confused. Why didn't he know about such outstanding people? Where do the talented people come from in this small and broken county?

However, the governor said he wanted to stay, so of course he couldn't say anything else.

He quickly saluted and said, "It is an honor for me, the governor, to stay in this small county. I will go and arrange the best accommodation for you."

"No need," Huo Changhe said, "In my opinion, it's good to live here. When I have nothing to do, I can talk and communicate with Magistrate Cao."

Magistrate Cao's throat rolled: What are you talking about? What to communicate?

"This place is too crude, I'm afraid I'm being neglectful..."

"It doesn't matter," Huo Changhe waved his hand with a firm attitude.

When Magistrate Cao saw this, he did not dare to persist anymore and had to prepare.

He gave the county magistrate a wink, and the county magistrate followed him out, and the two of them murmured together.

"What do you mean by that?"

The county magistrate rolled his eyes: "In my opinion, has the governor heard something?"

Magistrate Cao was surprised: "What did you hear? Do you mean Luojiazhuang?"

"No," the county magistrate said, "Sir, you think, what the governor said is that there are outstanding people, strange and auspicious things, and he even brought his wife here specially."

Magistrate Cao thought: "You mean, Qingshi Temple?"

"Exactly!"

The county magistrate felt that he had realized the key point: "I just secretly observed the governor's wife. She is beautiful, but she is too thin. I heard from Lincheng's distant cousin and his daughter-in-law's natal brother that the governor and his wife have no heirs. , maybe this trip is to ask for a child."

"The governor said just now that he was accompanying his wife to meet an old friend."

"Oh, it's just an excuse," the county magistrate said firmly, "and the reason why the governor insists on living in the government office is probably because the yang energy is the strongest here."

Magistrate Cao nodded: "That makes sense."

"You'd better make arrangements immediately and prepare the best yard for them to live in!"

The county magistrate did not leave, but whispered: "Sir, do you think we can just clean up the yard and be done?"

"In your opinion?"

"The lower official thought that the governor came here to ask for a son, which shows that he was so eager to ask for a son that he did not hesitate to come in secret. For so many years, my wife has not been able to give birth to a child for fear of being damaged, but I am not allowed to take concubines, so it has been delayed until now. "

"My lord, just imagine, if you help the governor solve this problem, what will happen to the governor?"

Magistrate Cao's eyes lit up.
