The Golden County Magistrate

Chen Yan said happily: "It is a great virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them. Have a good rest and get enough energy to do a great job tomorrow!"

Xue Yan nodded, and suddenly reacted, blushing and said: "Sir, can you put your hand first..."

Just now, she was distracted by the river pirates. Now she remembered that the other party was not only holding her, but also the most dishonest left hand was still in the same place!

Chen Yan seemed to have just reacted, and quickly let go of her and said: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't notice it just now."

Xue Yan turned over and got out of bed with a red face, and tidied up her nightgown.

How could she believe him?

In the past few days, whenever the two of them were together in private, this guy would take advantage of her in various ways, from eating to changing clothes, from washing to cleaning, and made her, who had never known much about these things, become knowledgeable.

"Sir Chen, you take a rest, I'm going over." She said with her head down, and fled to the study.

Chen Yan looked at her charming back, smiled, and moved his mind back to the river pirates.

This trip to transport gunpowder was so important, how could he not investigate the route in advance and be prepared?

He had already investigated the origins and even the bases of this group of river pirates, as well as where they often acted.

After all, they were just a mob, used to being willful and free, and they could not keep their information confidential. The spies he sent out had already found out everything.

If the other party knew what was good for them, it would be fine; if they really dared to attack, it would be the end of this group of river pirates!

The next morning, Chen Yan had enough rest and came out of the cabin.

"Mr. Chen, why don't you come and pay your respects to Lord Jin!" A voice came from the cargo ship following closely behind.

Chen Yan turned around and saw that Jin Ze and his group of followers were on the deck over there, sitting around a small table with some dry food and water on it. It turned out that they were having breakfast.

It seemed that he had recovered a lot of his spirit, but his face was gloomy and he stared at Chen Yan.

And the one who just shouted was Zeng Hong.

"I don't understand what Lord Zeng said. Why do you want me to pay respects to Lord Jin?" Chen Yan said lightly.

"You are a seventh-rank official. When you see your superior, shouldn't you pay respects?" The two ships were more than ten feet apart, and Zeng Hong had to shout at the top of his voice.

"I don't understand this even more. Which article in the laws of my Great Zhou says that the subordinate must pay respects to the superior?" Chen Yan asked back.

"This..." Zeng Hong was speechless for a moment.

There is indeed no such article in the law, but it is an unwritten rule.

"If there is nothing else, I will not disturb you from enjoying this delicious breakfast." Chen Yan said with a smile, and turned back to the cabin.

"Stop right there! Who allowed you to leave!" Zeng Hong roared in anger.

"Okay, Master Zeng said that we can't leave, so I will listen to you. Miss Xueyan, let's eat outside this morning." Chen Yan rolled his eyes and called to the cabin.

"Yes, Master." Xueyan's voice came from inside.

In a moment, she moved a small round table out and placed it on the deck.

Then, one by one, the prepared breakfast was brought out from the kitchen.

Jin Ze and the others were all stunned, looking at the tabletop of the small round table in amazement, which was empty and finally filled with cups, bowls, chopsticks and plates.

From steamed buns to steamed dumplings and fried eggs, to pickled vegetables and porridge, more than a dozen things were arranged, just like a banquet!

And most of them were steaming hot, and you could tell at a glance that they were freshly made!

"This, what's going on, where did they get the stove to cook?" Zeng Hong said in surprise.

There was no stove on the cargo ship, so it was impossible to cook, so they could only make do with some dry food.

When they reach the next ferry, they can go to the shore to eat or buy some cakes and steamed buns to improve their food.

Jin Ze and his friends have been coming here for so many years, and they are used to it.

But they can't help comparing!

They are chewing hard steamed buns that they can't even bite, but the small boat over there is set up like a banquet. It's simply outrageous!

Especially the other party's official position is much lower than any official position on their side, but they can enjoy such delicious food, and there are pretty women serving beside them. The treatment is very different, and the psychological gap rises all of a sudden.

"Wow, there is progress today." Chen Yan sat down on the chair beside the table, glanced at the things on the table, and praised.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir, you try it first." Xueyan smiled and picked up a steamed bun for him personally.

Chen Yan was not polite, he put his mouth over and took a big bite directly, and the oil was all over his mouth and dripped onto the table.

Xueyan originally wanted to put the food in the empty bowl in front of him and let him eat it himself, but she ended up feeding him instead. She felt a little embarrassed.

It’s not that I haven’t fed him before, but usually it’s in the cabin, no one sees. There are so many people there now.Watching with both eyes!

"Not bad! This bacon and pickled vegetable bun is getting more and more authentic!" Chen Yan ate a few bites, praised it, and ate the bun clean with her chopsticks.

Xueyan was very happy to hear his praise.

After Chen Yan finished eating, he pointed at the steamed dumplings and opened his mouth wide.

Xueyan's cheeks were burning, but she still picked up the steamed dumplings for him.

"It's really bad manners!" Zeng Hong looked at him with a frown, and was very angry.

But he was extremely jealous in his heart.

This is too enjoyable, there is actually such a charming woman feeding!

Others all have the same idea, and they criticized it one by one.

"And he made so much, can he finish it all by himself?"

"It's a waste of food!"

"People all over the world are starving, but he is so extravagant. I will definitely report him when I go back!"

Chen Yan ate while listening to their words, and he was secretly happy in his heart. The angrier these guys were, the happier he was!

After a while, half of the food on the table was eaten. Chen Yan touched his stomach and said, "I can't eat anymore. I'm so full!"

Xue Yan was surprised and said, "But there are still so many left... There are still some in the kitchen."

Chen Yan asked in surprise, "So many today?"

Xue Yan nodded, "Didn't the master tell me yesterday to learn the cakes and pastries you taught me as soon as possible? So I tried a few more. This table is too small to put them all, so I had to put them in the kitchen first."

On the deck of the cargo ship, Jin Ze and others all looked upset.

The table was already rich enough, but they hadn't taken out all the food. This kind of life is simply too extravagant!
