Chapter 58
"You are a member of the government, who sent you here?"

Chen Yuan frowned.

He had just returned to Pingliang County and had not had much contact with the government.

"Chen Daochang, I am here under the order of the county magistrate. I visited your elder brother's house before, but unfortunately the Daoist was not there at the time. Didn't the Daoist brother and sister-in-law tell me?"

Hu Sifang introduced himself, seeing that Chen Yuan didn't seem to know his existence at all, he was a little puzzled.

Sitting on the horizontal seat, Wu Qingping looked a little embarrassed.

When the yamen servant came to visit before, although she promised to tell her uncle the news, it was a pity that she forgot later.

Chen Yuan glanced at his brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping, and saw the embarrassment on his brother-in-law's face, and immediately guessed what was going on.

But it doesn't matter whether this yamen has visited him before or not.

"I don't know why the yamen came to the door?"

Chen Yuan exposed the matter and asked the yamen servant.

Because of the previous Lujiang magistrate, he didn't want to have secret contacts with people from the imperial court.

The magistrate ordered the yamen to visit at this time.

It is impossible for his reputation in Lujiang City to spread to Pingliang County hundreds of miles away so quickly. Chen Yuan suspected that the magistrate of Pingliang County was ordered by the prefect of Lujiang.

"The magistrate learned that Daochang Chen is a disciple of the immortal Lu Xiangong, so he specially sent his subordinates to visit with gifts."

Hu Sifang said respectfully.

"You magistrate, how did you know that I am a disciple of the immortal?"

Chen Yuan asked.

"This……"

Yachai Hu Sifang looked a little embarrassed.

As far as he knew, the magistrate had received an order from the magistrate to pay attention to this young Taoist named Chen Yuan, and he would try his best to make friends with him once he returned to his hometown.

But the magistrate also said that the magistrate seemed to have offended this supernatural disciple.

If I say it myself, I'm afraid I will offend this immortal disciple and be kicked out of the door directly.

Although the magistrate has a high position and authority, he is an existence that parents and officials in a county must try their best to make friends with.

But this young Taoist in front of him is a disciple of an immortal, he can be called an expert in the world, no matter how high or powerful you are, I am afraid that he will not be taken seriously by the other party.

"But the magistrate of Luzhou asked your county magistrate to come and visit me?"

Seeing Hu Sifang hesitating, Chen Yuan guessed the reason at once, and his face became a little cold.

"Yes."

Seeing that the young Taoist had guessed it, Yachai Hu Sifang could only admit it.

"Take the things back. I've said it before. I have no grievances with the magistrate, and I don't owe you any debts. You don't have to come here in the future."

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

He didn't care whether the prefect of Luzhou wanted to ease the relationship with him or not. He and the prefect of Luzhou, Qin Shouzhi and Qin Jiangyue's family, had long since ended their fate.

No matter who the prefect of Luzhou entrusts to come, the result is the same.

"But, Daoist Chen..."

Seeing that he was driven away, Yahu Sifang was a little helpless and wanted to explain.

"Isn't what I said clear enough?"

Chen Yuan looked at the yamen servant Hu Sifang, and Hu Sifang felt the pressure from it.

He didn't dare to say any more, for fear of offending this expert.

"In that case, I will take my leave."

After Hu Sifang cupped his hands, he could only turn around and leave.

"Uncle Lang, it's no wonder that you have such abilities, yet you have worshiped an immortal as your teacher? You are a disciple of the immortal Lu Xiangong!"

Looking at the back of the Yachai leaving, brother-in-law Wu Qingping exclaimed beside her.

She and her husband Chen Wenqing both listened to the conversation between Chen Yuan and the yamen servant Hu Sifang just now.

"By chance, after watching a game of chess, it's just a matter of encountering immortality."

Chen Yuan explained.

"Erlang, what grievances do you have with this magistrate?"

The older brother, Chen Wenqing, who was sitting across from Chen Yuan, was also surprised that his younger brother worshiped an immortal as his teacher and became a disciple of an immortal, but after being surprised, he couldn't help but think of the information revealed in the conversation between Chen Yuan and Yachai just now. I'm a little worried.

"Don't worry, brother, it's not a grudge, it's just a clear relationship with the prefect's family."

Chen Yuan explained.

"It's fine."

"Uncle Lang, during the three years when you disappeared, the prefect seems to have sent someone to look for you. Your brother and I thought at the time that you had a relationship with the prefect!"

Brother-in-law Wu Qingping also said at this time.

"When I was in trouble on the road before, I once saved the life of the prefect's second daughter. The prefect's family wanted to repay their kindness, so they looked for me everywhere. After meeting, the prefect's family gave me a sword scripture, and the grievances were settled."

Chen Yuan explained a little bit.

"I won't mention the past. Anyway, brother and sister-in-law just listen to it for fun, and this matter will not affect your life or mine."

Chen Yuan didn't care.

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't want to say more about this matter, his brother Chen Wenqing and brother-in-law Wu Qingping didn't ask any more questions.

After lunch, it was almost noon.

Elder brother Chen Wenqing still has work to do in the shop, so he got up to leave.

Brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping has to go home after helping to clean up and wash the dishes. There are still housework to do at home.

It's just that when the husband and wife wanted to leave with their daughter Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu was unwilling to leave.

She and the white mouse were having fun in the yard and didn't want to go home at all.

Chen Wenqing and Wu Qingping called several times, but it was as if she didn't hear them.

"Brother, sister-in-law, let Xiuxiu play with me, and I will send her back at dusk."

Chen Yuan said to his brother and sister-in-law.

"It can only be this way."

Chen Wenqing said helplessly.

As the saying goes, "Girls don't stay in university", but my daughter is still young, but she doesn't want to go home anymore.

Then Chen Wenqing and Wu Qingping took their leave.

After they left, Chen Yuan closed the courtyard door and sat alone under the pear tree full of snow-white pear blossoms, enjoying the unique tranquility in the afternoon.

Chen Yuan looked to the side again, and saw the two little guys, Xiuxiu and White Mouse, playing the game of chasing each other in the yard after eating and drinking.

He didn't feel bored at all, and was still in high spirits.

Chen Yuan had nothing to do, made a pot of tea, and watched Xiuxiu play with white mice under the pear tree.

After watching it for a while, although I felt bored, the girl's silvery laughter, rippling under the pear tree in the small courtyard by the city, really healed people's hearts.

Finally, Chen Yuan took out the "Wujiao Zhenren's Travel Notes" to read, and just sat around all afternoon.

Sometimes after being tired from playing, Xiu Xiu, who could not catch up with the white mouse, would run over to annoy his uncle, pestering Chen Yuan to play with her.

Chen Yuan, who was disturbed, felt a little helpless, so he could only put down "The Travels of Wujiao Zhenren", and chased white mice in the yard with Xiuxiu in his arms.

After two rounds of half-running and half-walking, he pretended to be tired and threw Xiuxiu to the white mouse, letting the white mouse play with Xiuxiu.

Because of Xiuxiu's playmate, the white mouse didn't leave for a whole day.

They played until sunset, and when Chen Yuan was about to send Xiuxiu back, his elder brother Chen Wenqing came and took Xiuxiu away.

After Xiuxiu and Chen Wenqing and his son left, Chen Yuan warmed up some of the leftover meals that his brother and sister-in-law made at noon, and gave some to the white mouse as a reward for playing with the white mouse for a day. The white mouse ate very happily.
