Jiangzhou, far south of the country, has entered the middle of summer, the hot noon sun is in the sky, the cicadas on the trees are singing one after another, and there are very few people on the street at this time.

But a carriage was slowly approaching along the official road, and the guards at the city gate stood up lazily to check the directions of the people on board.

Chen first lifted the curtain from the carriage, although he was already covered with sweat, there was no trace of anxiety on his face, and respectfully handed the road on.

These guards already recognized him, and asked with a smile: "Boss Chen has been going to the south for a while, and now he is finally back?"

Chen Xian smiled and nodded: "Hurry up and hurry up to come back a few days early, you have worked hard." ”

The guards handed the road back to him and put the car in.

Chen Xian was the first to return home, and Zhang Cuihua at home said that Guo Ning and Lao Chen Tou were both helping in the incense shop, leaving her at home to take care of the children.

Chen Xian was really tired, so he took a sip of Zhang Cuihua and handed it over, and the mung bean soup that had been chilled with well water, suddenly remembered something: "I saw the list of the imperial examination in the south, and Ah Xian won the champion this time?"

Zhang Cuihua nodded and said with a smile: "As soon as he even came out with the matter of Zhong Sanyuan, the whole Jiangzhou was shocked. Now everyone who has the ability wants to send their son-in-law to Qingyang Academy! ”

"Well, indeed, I have to congratulate them." Chen Xian rested for a while, then stood up and said to Zhang Cuihua, "Mother, I'll go out for a while, and I'll come back for dinner later!" ”

Zhang Cuihua knew where Chen was going first, and wanted to dissuade him, but she didn't know where to start, so she had to let him go.

Chen first walked around the street, pocketed a suitable gift, and took the carriage to the door of the big mansion across the alley.

In fact, although this alley is quiet, most of them are small doors. But unfortunately, Shen Wangxin, Qi Chang'an and Jiang Xian bought one and opened up the three courtyards, which were larger than the courtyards of ordinary large families in the city.

Chen got out of the carriage first, the brass ring on this door.

The porter came out to take a look, and when he saw that it was Chen Xian, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Don't you know, did several masters of the family go to the capital more than a month ago?"

"This ......" the expression on Chen Xian's face froze, and he said self-deprecatingly, "I really don't know." ”

"That'...... If you're okay, please go back. The porter was quite kind to Chen Xian, "There are only a few maids and wives in the family, and there is no one to entertain you." ”

Chen Xian sent the gift box in his hand forward: "I won't go in, this is a part of my heart, please transfer it for me." ”

The porter glanced at Chen Xian in embarrassment: "Boss Chen, I'll tell you the truth." Even if you give this gift, the masters probably won't accept it, so why waste this money?"

After saying that, he sighed and closed the door.

Chen Xian only felt that his face was hot, and when he looked back and saw the door, he didn't know when a gorgeous carriage had stopped, which was larger than his carriage.

An elegant man in his early thirties was looking at him thoughtfully: "Are you ...... The former steward of Wuwei Yaozhai, Chen Xian?"

Chen Xian knew that the man in front of him was from Lingnan. He drank tea with the man in the teahouse for an afternoon, and learned that he had come to Jiangzhou to do the medicinal herb business, so he suggested that he go to Xitou Village to have a look.

But the man didn't seem to care much about the medicinal materials in Xitou Village, and instead asked, "Xiaogui has also gone to the capital?"

"Forget to go back to the capital to get married, she was unintentional and pulled it up, so naturally she wants to go with her." Chen Xian said with a wry smile, then what you are talking about is that if it didn't happen before, you must be one of them.

It's just that he doesn't even want to think about the past, so how can he mention it to a stranger?

In the end, the man said that he was also going to the capital, and set off the next day.

Although Chen Xian was surprised, he didn't say anything, and after returning home, Zhang Cuihua had already prepared dinner.

The family was very happy to see him come back, which made Chen Xian's mood much better, and asked how much their perfume shop was profitable during his absence?

Guo Ning and Zhang Cuihua glanced at each other, and finally Guo Ning spoke: "What else?" They are determined to oppose us, since the set of perfume of the five-flavor medicine comes out. The girls in the city all clutched their pockets, and even if they were saving money, they wanted to buy a box. If you want me to say, on the surface, she said that she would let us go, but in fact, she wanted to kill us all, so that we would not have a good time! ”

He choked up as he spoke.

She and Chen Xian's daughter had already been fed, and they were sitting on a chair specially made for babies, and when they saw Guo Ning shed tears, they flattened their mouths and began to cry.

This little girl has always loved to laugh, even at such an age, she is not troublesome at all, so that the more people look at it, the more they like it.

As soon as Chen Xian saw her crying, he was very distressed, picked her up from the chair, and comforted: "Don't cry, isn't Daddy back?" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Cuihua also persuaded: "Ning'er, don't cry, the child will cry when he sees you crying, how uncomfortable it is to watch!" ”
