The two dismounted and tied their horses to a big tree. When they were going to Baoxuan Mansion, they saw several carriages parked outside the gate of Baoxuan Mansion.

The people who got off the carriage were all dressed in luxurious clothes.

Judging from their attire, they should not be officials, but rather look like businessmen.

I don’t know what the prefect’s family is going to do, but so many people are here.

When they came to the door, they all took out invitations from their pockets.

After the butler took one look at the invitation, he immediately smiled.

He cupped his fists and said, "Please come in quickly. My family has been waiting for a long time."

The merchants returned the favor with fists clasped and strode in.

It seems that if they want to enter Baoxuan Mansion, they must have an invitation letter.

Jian Anan and Chu Junxing looked at each other, and they immediately thought about being invisible in their hearts.

No one here noticed them, and no one saw them suddenly disappear out of thin air.

The two of them walked in swaggeringly under the steward's nose.

When the two passed by the housekeeper, the housekeeper smelled a scent.

That is the fragrance that only women can exude.

He looked around and saw that except for the few merchants who had just entered, there were no women passing by the door.

The housekeeper rubbed his nose. Could it be that he smelled it wrong?

Jian Anan and Chu Junxing entered Baoxuan Mansion but did not show up immediately.

The two of them followed several merchants and walked toward the hall.

Baoxuan Mansion was very large, and the two of them listened to the conversations of merchants along the way.

"What treasure did you take this time to give to the prefect?"

“This treasure of mine is not big, it is just a Buddha Heart Locket, given to the magistrate’s grandson to wear.

I refuse to say that after wearing this Buddha Heart Lock, it can cure children's diseases. Why don't I just take it? "

"It's your intention. I don't have such a treasure. I just brought the Purple Fairy Bell. I thought I could use it to amuse the children and maybe make them happy."

"Tell me, what disease does that child have? Why can't anyone cure him?"

"I'm afraid there's no way to know this. Anyway, we brought the treasure, which can be regarded as a reward for the prefect for allowing our child to pass the imperial examination."

As several merchants spoke, they were led to the front of the hall by their servants.

Jian Anan saw that seven people had come here.

They all dressed up as businessmen, and everyone was talking in the hall, just waiting for the prefect to arrive.

When the merchants saw the people coming in, they immediately clasped their fists and greeted them.

Not long after, I saw an old man walking hurriedly.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time. I just had something happen at home, so I'm a little late."

When everyone saw Magistrate Kong arriving, they immediately smiled and saluted him with clasped fists.

A businessman responded: "You have a lot of things to do at home, so it doesn't matter if you are delayed for an hour and a half."

Other merchants also responded immediately, and no one meant to blame the prefect for being late.

They didn't dare to blame. After all, if it hadn't been for the help that Prefect Kong had given them, their children wouldn't have been able to pass the imperial examination so smoothly.

Although their families are rich, their children are not angry.

They rely on their family's wealth and don't take the exams seriously.

I stay idle at home all day long, without learning or skill.

But these merchants didn't think so. They still hoped that their children would be admitted to the imperial examination and add an official to their family.

In this way, if something happens in the future, it will be easier to handle things if there are officials at home.

Fortunately, the prefect Kong was relatively wise. After getting their money, he really made their children pass the exam.
