Zhou Xuan rode his old horse to the post house, slowly moving forward. The post house was also in Chaoyang Fang, which was the military and political center of Jiangzhou City. The streets were wide and clean, with six horse-drawn carriages able to move side by side.

  The sun has set, the Xiao Yang River is half clear and half red. The sound of horse hooves echoes, Zhou Xuan's heart feels at ease. Although his father-in-law hasn't been released yet, it's only a matter of time. In the detention center, he won't suffer, it's more like house arrest. Ah, I forgot to tell Xu Cishi earlier, I still want to play chess with Gu Liuquan. Next time, first pick up Qin Que and take a look at the talented women sent by each county, are there any prettier than Que'er or Zhenni?

  Jiangzhou was a major town in the southwest of Tang country, ranking sixth among all major cities and towns in Tang country, after the two capitals and the three major states of Luzhou, Hongzhou and Changzhou. Therefore, this post house was also grand in scale, with a long street lined with houses of the post house, eight large gates along the street, guarded by soldiers. Zhou Xuan wanted to go in but was not allowed to enter, saying that he was the husband of Qin Xiao, the doctor, still did not allow him to enter.

  Zhou Xuan was not in a hurry, he tied his horse under the willow tree, put his hands behind his back and looked at the scenery of Xiao Yangjiang River, watching the sunset in the west. The feeling was like riding a bicycle at the school gate waiting for his first love to finish class, and in this era, Qin Xiao was his first love.

  A single-horse carriage drove out of the large gate in the middle of the inn, Zhou Xuan didn't pay much attention, just calmly watching as the carriage passed by, when suddenly the curtain was lifted and Qin Xiao's bright and elegant face appeared at the window: "Zhou... husband, what are you doing here? Stop the carriage..."

  Zhou Xuan's face burst into a radiant smile: "I'm here to take you home, whose car is this?"

  Qin Que's face turned red with shyness, she glanced at Zhou Xuan and lowered the carriage curtain, seemingly talking to someone inside. When the curtain opened again, Feng Ah Jing revealed her face, smiling and saying: "Young Master Zhou has come to pick up his wife? I was just about to send her back, didn't Young Master Zhou bring a carriage?"

  Zhou Xuan pointed under the willow tree and said: "I have a horse."

  Feng Ah watched with a smile, turned her head and said: "Miss Qin, then you get off the car."

  Qin Que looked embarrassed and got off the car, standing beside Zhou Xuan, lowering her head to look at her embroidered shoes.

  Feng Ah watched as Zhou Xuan beckoned him with his hand and said: "Young Master Zhou, please come closer and speak."

  Zhou Xuan saw Feng Ah's gaze was a bit unusual and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, so he walked over and asked: "Does Lord Feng have any orders?"

  Feng Ya watched with a smile, and then pressed her red lips together, as if she was very hungry. Zhou Xuan's heart grew even more frightened, the back of his head feeling cool and sweaty.

  Only Feng Ya heard the soft voice say: "Remember, be good to Qin Que and also be good to Zhen Zhen."

  Zhou Xuan was taken aback and nodded subconsciously: "I will, I will."

  Qin Que said behind his back: "Feng Ah monitor, when Mr. Li comes back, please be sure to clear my father's name in front of Mr. Li."

  Feng Ah looked at Zhou Xuan, then at Qin Que, shaking his head and saying: "Who would believe that you two are fake married? That Jiang assistant teacher is really blinded by greed, he's going to be unlucky." He put down the carriage curtain, and the horse carriage turned around and headed back to the hostel.

  Zhou Xuan led the old horse over: "Que Er, get on the horse, we're going home."

  Qin Que's eyes gazed elsewhere as he asked, "What about you?"

  Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "I'll lead the horse - can you get on it? If not, I'll carry you up."

  Qin Que hastily said: "I can get on, I can get on." With both hands grasping the saddle and one foot stepping on the stirrup, he lifted his foot and got on the horse with quite agile movements.

  Zhou Xuan burst out laughing, Qin Que's face turned red all the way to her ears, it turned out she was riding backwards, facing the horse's tail.

  "In the past, there was Zhang Guo Lao riding a donkey backwards; now there's Dr. Qin riding a horse backwards - steady on!" Zhou Xuan led the horse by the reins and strode off quickly.

  "Stop for a moment, stop for a moment, let me sit properly."

  Two people walked down the long street, with passersby occasionally pointing and whispering to each other, talking about their fake marriage. Zhou Xuan didn't care, walking openly and upright, while Qin Xiao's head hung lower and lower.

  Zhou Xuan then told the story of how he had cured the three sons of Xu, the governor of Xu Prefecture, of their foolishness that afternoon, and finally made Qin Que laugh. This Qin Que was not one to laugh easily, but once she started, she couldn't stop, and the more she thought about it, the harder she laughed, her body shaking like a flower branch as she leaned against the saddle.

  Zhou glared at those passersby who were talking about them, as if to say: "Open your eyes and take a good look, is this a fake marriage?"

  Returning to the Qin residence, a luxurious horse carriage was parked under the cypress tree, but it wasn't Lin Huanyu's oil wall carriage. Who had arrived?

  Zhou Xuan and Qin Que walked in shoulder to shoulder, but saw a person sitting on the main hall, with a striking purple beard, it was Hei Yi Da Shi Ren Abu. The host who accompanied the guests was three feet tall, plus his hair reached three and a half feet, it was Xiao Di. The house servant Lai Fu stood by and served.

  As soon as she saw Zhou Xuan and Qin Que, Xiao Di slid down from the high stool and ran forward, saying: "Sister and brother-in-law are back, great! Xiao Di doesn't have to accompany guests anymore. Oh dear, after accompanying guests for an entire afternoon, my butt is sore."

  Hu Shang Abul smiled and stood up, saying: "Zhou Gongzi, Qin Yisheng, the virtuous couple has returned. I have been waiting for a long time. It's really hard work to let this young master accompany you for so long." He bowed to Xiao Xiaodai.

  Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "A Bu, old brother, not at home playing with the dragon and phoenix twins, what brings you here?"

  Abu again bowed deeply to Qin Que: "I came especially to thank Miss Qin. If it weren't for Miss Qin, my wife and children would not have made it through last night. The kindness you showed us will never be forgotten, I've brought a small gift to express our gratitude."

  Qin Que said: "Curing diseases and saving lives is our duty as medical students, we dare not accept gifts."

  Zhou Xuan was very interested in the gift from the merchant, saying: "Don't be so unfeeling, this is Brother Abu's way of celebrating his good fortune in having a boy and girl twin, how can we dampen his enthusiasm?"

  "Right, right, Master Zhou said it too well. It's better to share the joy with everyone than to enjoy it alone. I'll send gifts to our neighbors tomorrow morning so that everyone knows that I, Abu, have given birth to a precious son. Therefore, Doctor Qin must accept this gift." In his heart, he felt a bit bitter: "Do we have to give gifts to all the neighbors just because we had twins? That knife alone is worth a fortune!"

  Two porters carried in a heavy coffin:

  Three large carpets, four tapestries, ten pieces of colorful glassware, and one Damascus sword.

  Zhou Xuan suddenly stood up, took three steps in two strides, grabbed the large Damascus knife, and with shining eyes, said to Abu with uncontainable joy: "Brother, you're really too kind, one sentence, from now on if there's a need for brother's place just speak out."

  "This Mr. Zhou is indeed a wonderful person, his words have scratched the itch in Abui's heart, and he said with great joy: 'I, Abui, feel like I've known Mr. Zhou for a long time, it's my good fortune to have met him in this life, and I will definitely come to bother him again in the future.'"

  Zhou Xuan wouldn't misunderstand Abu's intention, yesterday he refused to buy a knife, today it was delivered to his doorstep, wasn't it because he heard that he and the Duhu Fu had a close relationship? Hehe, no matter how much I receive, I'll accept it with a smile, this is called taking what you need. Right, this foreigner has money, I should consider attracting some foreign investment, expanding my "Super Autumn War Hall", haha, great idea!

  Zhou Xuan and Hu Shang Abou shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, putting on a show of wanting to have an in-depth conversation. Qin Que smiled and shook her head, since Zhou Xuan liked the knife so much, she couldn't bear to refuse it. Besides, her father had accepted gifts from others before!

  Qin Que asked Zhou Xuan to accompany Abu, she led Xiao Di into the inner courtyard and whispered: "Where's Brother-in-law? Why doesn't he come out to entertain the guests, and let a little kid like you accompany?"

  Xiao Di made a funny face and said: "Brother-in-law is a coward, as soon as he hears that there are outsiders coming, he quickly hides in the house. Mother has no choice but to let me come out to greet the guests. Since brother-in-law is not here, I am the man of the house."

  Qin Que's heart was gloomy, holding her brother's hand as they walked through the deserted hallway. The sunset cast a slanting glow, outlining her bright and dark silhouette, beautiful!
