Childbirth System: Become the Goddess of Mercy who grants children to the male protagonist!
Chapter 203 The Shield for Being Caught in the Crossfire of the Imperial Examination (7)
Xu Fu, sitting in the living room, waited until his wife's figure disappeared at the courtyard gate.
He exchanged two large baskets of copper coins with the system and casually laid them out on the ground.
Why doesn't the host buy a wedding dress from the system? The store has all kinds of wedding dresses.
Whether it's men's or women's style, traditional or modern—
"Can you provide me with a whole dowry procession?! I want it to have musicians playing instruments, singing, and 18 people carrying the sedan chair—"
Xu Fu didn't even raise his eyelids, and replied directly,
Sure! And this system can even make the wedding procession appear and disappear without a trace!
[If kept safe, no one will find a trace of it when they investigate!]
"Holy crap!" Xu Fu exclaimed in surprise. How come he hadn't remembered that the system had this cheat code...?
"What a waste of so much of my silver!" Xu Fu paused, then suddenly felt a pang of regret.
But he didn't forget the system's greedy and stingy nature, "So how many points do you need?"
[A reward of 300 points, a procession of 100 people, including a lion dance and a sedan chair carried by eight men—]
"Stop!" Xu Fu immediately lost interest in listening when he heard that so many points were required.
"I don't have that many points—"
[Doesn't the host feel the pinch when spending money?!]
"It's not my money, so why not take advantage of it if it's free!"
Xu Fu had barely finished speaking when the farmer came running back, panting.
Behind him were fifty or sixty strong young men, crowding the courtyard and looking at Xu Fu with joyful expressions.
The farmer took a couple of deep breaths before speaking to Xu Fu.
"Young master, these are all the young men in our village!"
"Everyone who could come is here; as for the old and the young, I didn't call them—"
"It's alright," Xu Fu waved his hand dismissively, "It doesn't matter if there are few people."
Anyway, he planned to pave the way with copper coins, scattering them in large quantities—
He simply refused to believe that they couldn't muster a wedding procession of a hundred people!
At this moment, the farmer's wife returned, and seeing the yard full of strong men...
Ignoring any sense of shame, he squeezed through the crowd.
He squeezed right in front of Xu Fu and boasted to others about his achievements.
"Young master, I've rented two horse-drawn carriages and five oxcarts—"
"Do you think these carriages are enough?" He glanced at Xu Fu's expression as he spoke.
I'm afraid the other party won't be satisfied and will deduct my payment.
"It's alright, enough people to sit in the courtyard is sufficient." Xu Fu gestured with his chin towards the group.
Turning to the farmer, he asked again, "Did you take all the instruments you used for playing wind and string instruments?"
"Of course!" The farmer nodded quickly, proudly patting his chest.
"Then there will be a great commotion with gongs and drums—"
"Alright!" Xu Fu nodded and took out the 50 taels from his pocket.
He waved himself in front of everyone before saying, "As long as you escort me smoothly to the princess's residence..."
"This 50 taels is your reward—"
"this?!"
"The Princess's residence?!"
"So this gentleman before us is the third-ranked scholar?!"
Upon hearing Xu Fu's words, the scene quickly became chaotic, and the crowd erupted in discussion.
Xu Fu ignored their reaction and tossed the 50 taels to the farmers.
"You can share some with the brothers later—" He even winked at the other person.
Then, as if by magic, he produced another 50-tael silver ingot and secretly slipped it to the farmer.
He whispered, "This is your payment."
Then he turned to look at the farmer's wife, and gestured with his chin towards her.
"You'll be in charge of clearing the way ahead, and when you encounter anyone, throw a handful of copper coins."
"Sprinkle more at the city gate and inside the city; the more people, the more lively it will be."
Hearing that she had a chance to make some extra money, the woman smiled broadly and immediately nodded in agreement.
Xu Fu stood up and gestured to the crowd, "Anyone else have a question?!"
"Those who don't want to participate can go back now!" Xu Fu surveyed the crowd.
One or two people were initially planning to back out, but everyone around them remained still.
They couldn't back down, so they had no choice but to stand there stubbornly.
"Since everyone is willing to see me off, the third-ranked scholar—"
"Let's go now!" Xu Fu shouted, taking the lead as he mounted his Akhal-Teke horse.
He walked ahead in a flamboyant manner, dressed in a red wedding gown.
Once the farmers realized what was happening, they quickly made arrangements for everyone—
Those who were playing musical instruments and singing, sat with their wives in the first carriage.
Then they quickly overtook Xu Fu and took charge of clearing the way.
The second carriage and the oxcart behind it were packed with people, but thankfully everyone could squeeze in.
Five or six people who felt oppressed jumped off the oxcart.
They walked quickly to keep up with the group, intending to reach the city.
The group moved quickly, and in an hour and a half, they arrived at the city gate in a lively manner.
Upon seeing this large formation, the guards immediately drew their swords and blocked the entrance.
"Who goes there?! Stop right now!" the other man shouted, pointing his knife at Xu Fu.
Before Xu Fu could dismount, the farmer, quite astutely, jumped down from the carriage first.
He grabbed a handful of copper coins from his wife's basket and hurried toward the guard.
After handing over the copper coins, the farmer bowed and explained to the other party at length.
Then the guard stepped forward suspiciously, looking Xu Fu up and down.
"May I ask if you are the third-ranked scholar?! And this is—"
"I am but a humble scholar, yet I am the third-ranked scholar chosen by His Majesty this year—"
"Today is the day I, this young master, am married into the princess's household. Behind me are all my brothers who have come to escort me."
"Please forgive me for any trouble caused to the brothers defending the city."
Xu Fu cupped his hands in a gesture of apology.
He then took out a silver ingot worth about five or six taels from his pocket and handed it to the person.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation; I'm not only inviting the brothers guarding the city to a celebratory feast, but also..."
Xu Fu not only personally slipped money to the person, but also handed over the original owner's household registration documents.
The guard accepted the silver, his attitude softened slightly, and then he took Xu Fu's document and examined it carefully.
Finally, he nodded and let them pass, saying, "Young general, congratulations on your wedding, Scholar!"
"Hurry and let them pass, lest the time be missed—"
The guard shouted to the soldiers behind him, making way for Xu Fu.
Xu Fu bowed to the man in gratitude, then mounted his horse and nodded to the farmer.
The farmer led the way, directing his group to quickly pass through the city gate.
When they arrived at Zhuque Avenue, the people of the city saw Xu Fu's grand procession and gathered around him.
"Where did this poor boy come from, with such a shabby wedding procession?!"
"Of course! If it weren't for the fact that the person on the other end was wearing a red wedding dress—"
"I didn't even see any red ribbons or anything like that hanging up..."
Ignoring the pointing and whispering of the crowd, Xu Fu coughed at the farmers.
The farmer immediately understood and had his wife stand up.
"Let's throw some coins! Everyone who sees them gets a share!" the woman shouted as she tossed the coins in her hand into the crowd.
