Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Chapter 85 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (19)

[Host, I've switched Wei Yu's and the Lord's wine cups.]

Well done.

Nuonuo got a little carried away by the praise, but to save its life, it didn't dare to get too carried away.

[Host, what should we do about Zhou Qian's matter?]

Birds of a feather flock together. A scene with three people would definitely be exciting enough, wouldn't it?

Nuonuo said she understood, but was still very shocked.

Okay, I'll take care of it right away.

Sheng Yuan insisted on coming today because he wanted to meet a rather important person.

Here they are.

Magistrate Zhou, sitting in the main seat, suddenly said, "It just so happens that one of my students has also come here today. I will take the liberty of discussing the profound meaning of poetry and prose with you all."

At this moment, everyone saw that a handsome and dashing young man had appeared beside the county magistrate. He was dressed in an indigo brocade robe and held a folding fan with a landscape painting in his hand, giving people a noble yet languid feeling.

"Brother Yuan, why do I feel like this guy looks exactly like your brother-in-law?" Gu Shuqiao couldn't help but whisper.

Sheng Yuan simply nodded and reminded him, "He is the Crown Prince, and he's here to see Shen Yunzhao."

Gu Shuqiao was stunned for a moment.

Perhaps it was because two tall and handsome people in the crowd were so eye-catching that I noticed them.

One seemed like a noble young nobleman, the other like a detached and aloof immortal, he couldn't help but think.

“These two are the most talented scholars in the academy,” Magistrate Zhou explained to Cong Qing. “The slightly shorter one is Yun Zhao’s husband.”

Cong Qing looked deeply at Gu Shuqiao.

Magistrate Zhou ordered his men to bring the two men to him.

Qing's attention was entirely focused on Gu Shuqiao, and everything went as Sheng Yuan had predicted.

The four chatted casually.

The gathering continued, at the banquet over here.

After everyone had given their gifts, they took their seats.

Those close to the magistrate's wife and Zhou Qian were all praising them, while others, such as the county magistrate's family, who were far away, held the view that even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and thus formed their own faction.

The group, led by the county magistrate's wife, looked down on Lin Nan and Shen Yunzhao.

The wives of scholars disliked the smell of copper coins on their bodies, and thought it was shameful that one was a country bumpkin and the other was a big, burly man.

"Just love the people you love and cherish the people who love you. What other people say has nothing to do with you." Lin Nan heard those voices and saw that Shen Yunzhao looked a little sad.

"Hmm." Shen Yunzhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and replied.

Lin Nan was relieved to see that he had come to his senses.

This was what his husband told him when he first started running the restaurant and negotiating business with wealthy merchants.

At that time, everyone thought that he, a young man, should stay in the backyard, and some even tried to persuade his husband, but his husband rejected them all and told him:

No one has more right than Lin Nan to decide what Lin Nan should do.

We will meet many people. If you feel confused and sad because of their comments, then just love the people you love and cherish the people who love you.

Their words are suggestions and references, but if you don't like them, you don't have to listen.

When Shen Yunzhao heard Lin Nan's words, he looked at Lin Nan, who was different from when he first met him.

Others thought doing business was lowly, but he said that only with business can there be wealth, and when the country is wealthy, the people are strong; when the people are strong, the country prospers; when the country prospers, the people are at peace; and when the people are at peace, the world is at peace.

He also partnered with himself to run a security escort agency.

How could his demeanor and mannerisms resemble those of a country boy?

Just like her husband kept telling her: just keep moving forward and focus on the beautiful scenery along the way.

Shen Yunzhao looked at Lin Nan and suddenly felt relieved. No one but himself could decide what he was or what he should do.

The banquet continued, and Wei Yu handed a glass of wine to Lin Nan, saying, "I only learned today that the owner of Fuyuan Restaurant is actually Mr. He. I truly admire him. I would like to toast Mr. He!"

Lin Nan frowned, about to refuse, when Nuonuo leaned close to his ear and whispered something to him.

Lin Nan drank the wine that Wei Yu handed him, and then sat there with his head down. Shen Yunzhao, who was sitting next to him, heard him saying something.

"Nan-ge'er? Nan-ge'er?" Shen Yunzhao leaned closer.

Then they heard Lin Nan mutter, "Husband, I want my husband, my husband, I can't find my husband..."

“Scholar He is in the outer courtyard. I’ll take you to him, okay?” Shen Yunzhao tried to communicate with the drunk Lin Nan.

Shen Yunzhao helped the drunk Lin Nan leave the banquet.

Nuonuo quickly followed.

Looking at the drunk Lin Nan, Wei Yu couldn't help but smile. After drinking two more cups of wine, Wei Yu felt a little drunk and ordered someone to help her to rest.

[Host, the master is drunk! We've taken him away from the banquet, and he's looking for you!]

Sheng Yuan frowned upon hearing Nuonuo's words.

【where? 】

We have reached the corridor.

The corridor leads to the back door here.

Sheng Yuan then bid farewell to Magistrate Zhou and the others, and quickly left.

Seeing Sheng Yuan's anxious expression, Gu Shuqiao realized that something must have happened to Lin Nan. Thinking that his Zhao Zhao was with Lin Nan, he took his leave out of concern and quickly followed Sheng Yuan.

"The talents of Scholar He and Scholar Gu are truly remarkable!" Cong Qing said, watching their retreating figures.

"Indeed, if you can persuade the two of them to become your right-hand men, the future situation will be much clearer."

"Master speaks highly of them. I think so too." The light laugh carried a deeper meaning.

"Congqing" is his courtesy name; his real name is Liang Siqi. He is the crown prince of the Liang Dynasty, and his mission is to find Shen Yunzhao, the missing heir of the Duke of Shen's mansion.

At this moment, Magistrate Zhou Shuo was also his tutor to the Crown Prince, Xie Yuan.

"It's a pity that getting them to be your right-hand men is harder than climbing to heaven. But... for Your Highness, it's both difficult and easy."

"Master, what makes you say that?"

“Shengyuan and Shuqiao are both free spirits and don’t have much ambition.”

Liang Siqi was a little confused. How could people who participated in scientific expeditions not have ambition?

Xie Yuan looked at him with a puzzled expression, then smiled and said, "Your Highness, they are all devoted lovers who cherish their husbands. Their reasons for doing this are the same as my reasons for leaving the capital back then."

Xie Yuan had only one wife, Zhou, who bore him three sons, two of whom were boys and the youngest was a boy.

If he had insisted on staying in the capital back then, not only would his wife and children have been in danger, but he would also have been forced to take a concubine. At first, he didn't care and thought he could handle it himself. But when the doctor said that his son had been poisoned and that if he couldn't find a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, his son would only have five years to live.

So he decided to resign from his post and leave the capital to search for ginseng. It was Liang Siqi's persuasion that led him to change his name and become the current magistrate of Zhou County.

But wild ginseng is hard to find. If it weren't for Sheng Yuan selling it, his son wouldn't have been saved.

He still wants to avenge his son, he will still get involved in this struggle, and he will make those people pay the price.

Liang Siqi understood his words. Such a weakness was obvious, and so was the bottom line. Once the bottom line was crossed, there would be no possibility of letting it go.

"I understand, thank you, Master."

Liang Siqi was making plans in her mind.
