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

Yan Ruyu glanced at Huo Changhe. Huo Changhe took one look at the carriage and understood instantly.

Magistrate Cao also got off the sedan chair and came over to say hello: "Master Governor, please come this way."

The restaurant is not big, but the layout is pretty good. There are no customers downstairs at this time. It seems that preparations have been made in advance and the place has been cleared.

Huo Changhe walked up and asked, "Why don't you see other diners?"

Magistrate Cao smiled quickly and said: "Your Excellency is coming, I am afraid that other people will not understand the rules and bump into you. Therefore..."

Huo Changhe frowned slightly and said seriously: "It's a matter of people's livelihood, so don't do it lightly. It's my blessing that the people live a good life."

Magistrate Cao looked slightly embarrassed.

Huo Changhe added: "Magistrate Nian Cao has good intentions. Let's just let it go this time. We won't do it next time."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely obey your teachings."

Yan Ruyu followed behind, lowering her eyes and smiling to herself. Huo Changhe was in a high position, and it was really easy for him to handle such a small county magistrate.

It's just that in Magistrate Cao's territory, he needs to be more cautious and restrained.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived on the second floor. Several people were already sitting in the largest private room. There was a table in the middle, but no one sat there. They were all scattered on the surrounding chairs.

Yan Ruyu looked at it, it looked a bit like a tea room, with a dining table in the middle and tea seats around it for tea tasting.

Behind the tea table, there is a pretty woman making tea. Her clothes are a little thin, her skin is as good as snow, her eyes are bright and her lips are red, and her fingers are delicately dancing in the mist of the hot water. She is really beautiful.

She lowered her eyes and hid the smile that slipped through her eyes - no wonder she didn't let Madam follow, that's why.

I'm afraid it's more than that.

Looking up, I saw another screen in the room. The gauze embroidery made it even more radiant under the light. There were still shadows behind the screen, and there were several women holding musical instruments. The sound of silk and bamboo wafted out from them.

Yan Ruyu understood, Huo Changhe also understood, and his heart skipped a beat.

As soon as they arrived, the other people sitting there quickly stood up and greeted them with standard smiles, and the music temporarily stopped.

Magistrate Cao said: "Everyone, let me introduce to you, this is Governor Sun!"

Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands in greeting and announced their official titles one by one. Yan Ruyu listened. They were officials working in various yamen in the county. Although the sparrows were small, they had all the five internal organs.

Reporting back and forth, Yan Ruyu saw a familiar face.

Luojiazhuang is upright.

When this person was in Luojiazhuang, he was the leader of the village chief, and now he can come to the county town, attend such a banquet, and sit with all the officials, which shows that it is indeed extraordinary.

She recognized it, and so did Huo Changhe.

Li Zheng introduced himself last, Huo Changhe said meaningfully: "Oh? Li Zheng."

He seemed to have something else in mind, but he didn't say anything further.

Everyone looked at each other and quietly observed his expression.

Magistrate Cao laughed dryly and said: "My lord, Wu Lizheng is quite talented, both civil and military, and he assists his subordinates in managing their affairs. He is very diligent and capable."

Huo Changhe smiled: "Really? Not bad."

He spoke vaguely and did not sit down. Everyone felt uneasy and unsure.

The governor of a state came to the reception banquet and behaved in an upright manner, which was indeed against the rules.

Not to mention Li Zheng, people like them usually don't have the chance to meet the governor. If the governor hadn't been incognito this time, with their positions, they wouldn't be qualified to visit the governor's mansion even if they went to Lincheng.

Yan Ruyu's eyes quickly passed over these people, and when she saw them showing slight distress, there was no anger in them. In other words, she had no intention of resenting Wu Lizheng for this.

This is interesting.

A small person like Li Zheng, who is not an official, is only a little better than the common people in the eyes of officials. Even the government officials will not look down on him, let alone the officials.

But none of these people looked down upon him, and seemed to have no objection to his participation.

What is so special about him?

Li Zheng himself also lowered his head and said nothing, as if he didn't realize that the current awkward and delicate atmosphere was caused by him, and he had no intention of retreating.

In the end, Magistrate Cao said, "Sir, please take a seat. Please try some local dishes."

Huo Changhe didn't say anything more, turned around and sat in the front seat. Yan Ruyu stood behind him, and he could see everyone's expressions when he raised his eyes.

The others breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere suddenly became alive again, and they all took their seats according to their status.

Magistrate Cao ordered the dishes to be served. The dishes had been prepared in the kitchen for a long time, one after another, six cold and twelve hot, and the dishes were full.

Plus two jugs of wine.

Magistrate Cao smiled and said, "Sir, it's hard for you to come all the way, so you need to drink a few more drinks."

Huo Changhe nodded: "Magistrate Cao and all of you are so kind, I should be very happy."

After hearing what he said, the others relaxed a little.

Magistrate Cao clapped his hands, and the music behind the screen sounded again. It was melodious and soft but not too noisy. Everything was just right.

"These musicians are from the best orchestra in the city. They are definitely not as good as Lincheng. Please let me listen to them."

Huo Changhe tapped the time lightly: "Why, Magistrate Cao is too polite. There is no distinction between high and low melodies. There are also masters of melodies in this small town. I think today's one is pretty good."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, feeling that this time they had touched the heart of the Governor.

Well done.

The atmosphere comes alive and the place warms up.

Men's drinking venues have been the same throughout the ages, but officialdom is more reserved. Before getting drunk, they all pretend to be human.

Yan Ruyu secretly laughed and glanced at Wu Lizheng.

He held wine, drank wine, and ate food. His posture was upright and upright. He was also upright when clinking glasses with the officials around him, without the slightest hint of flattery.

interesting.

Yan Ruyu's eyes immediately turned away. She didn't look too much. She intuitively felt that this person was very sensitive. If he looked too much, it would inevitably make him suspicious.

Why did he come to the county? What happened at Luojiazhuang? Eighty percent of it is.

The Water God incident just happened last night, and he is here today. Yan Ruyu doesn't believe it if he says it has nothing to do with it.

Magistrate Cao, how much does he know? Just open your eyes and close your eyes, or is there something else involved?

This person looks timid and cowardly, but people are more valuable than money. If it is a shocking fortune, he may not dare to take risks.

While thinking about it, everyone at the wine table was drinking heavily. Magistrate Cao leaned into Huo Changhe's ear and said, "Sir, I have a gift for you."

Huo Changhe saw that his cheeks were flushed and he smelled of alcohol, and he subconsciously wanted to push him away.

Also, intuition is not a great gift.

But he still had to hold back and ask: "What gift?"

A smile flashed in Magistrate Cao's eyes, the kind of smile that says, "We are all men, you know."

Huo Changhe had a bad premonition.

Wanting to stop it, Magistrate Cao had already clapped his hands and ordered.

The music suddenly changed its tune, from the melodious tone that had just continued, to becoming passionate and unrestrained.

A bell rang loudly, and a group of graceful shadows walked gracefully from the door.

Yan Ruyu raised her eyes, her eyes slightly cold.

Huo Changhe's eyes narrowed and the hair on his body stood up.
