Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 291 The Sickly Little Business Woman 8

Dali went to the mountain stronghold to find ropes and tied up all the bandits.

Yun Chu took Shen Yan to rob the bandits' belongings.

When he saw Yun Chu taking the things out of thin air, Shen Yan stared at Yun Chu in amazement, "Madam, what is this method?"

"How can you make something disappear out of thin air?"

Yun Chu found a storage bag from the space, and helped Shen Yan to contract the storage bag with his blood essence, and then asked Shen Yan to put things in it.

"This is Master Xuan's method."

"What is a mysterious master?"

"Just like Taoist priests and monks, this mysterious force is one of the powers of cultivation." Yun Chu explained to Shen Yan, "Just like when you practice martial arts and gain internal strength."

"My lady, how did you acquire such a skill?"

"I have worshiped a master."

Shen Yan said: "Madam, since you have such ability, why can't you heal your body?"

"My body can't be cured. God has given me such a weak body, and there is nothing I can do about it."

"Hurry up and collect your things. The caravan's guards are going up the mountain." She didn't want to give her things to the guards for free.

After the two men had looted all the items in the village, the guards went up the mountain.

When the guards saw Yun Chu and the other two, they were a little surprised.

"Three of you, did you subdue this bandit?" asked the captain of the guard.

"No, we were captured by bandits and taken to the mountain. We were rescued by a young man wearing a golden mask, and it was also the young man who subdued the bandits." After Yun Chu finished speaking, he coughed twice.

Shen Yan quickly supported Yun Chu, "My lady, are you okay?"

"Husband, it's okay, I was just a little scared."

The captain of the guard team took a quick look and then led the guard team to check the village, but there was nothing valuable in the village as it had been looted.

It seems that it was the golden-faced young man's men who took all the things away.

The guard team did not suspect Yun Chu and his group because it was impossible for three people to empty the village in such a short time.

Even the food in the mountain village was gone.

Thinking of the group of unconscious bandits at the foot of the mountain, I guessed that the bandits at the foot of the mountain were also subdued by the men of the Golden-faced Young Hero.

They were lucky. If they hadn't met a noble person to help them, they would have definitely had a fierce battle with the bandits.

The captain of the escort team was ready to go down the mountain and asked Yun Chu and the other two if they wanted to go down, and they could take them down.

Yun Chu used feeling unwell as an excuse and said that they would stay in the mountain village for one night and go down the mountain on their own tomorrow morning.

After the guards left, Shen Yan found a clean room, tidied it up, and let Yun Chu rest.

He and Shen Yan went to the kitchen of the village to cook.

There are two pots in this mountain village. Shen Yan cooks for him and Yun Chu, while Dali cooks rice in another big pot. He eats a lot, so he cooks more.

As for food, there are kimchi in this village, so Dali went to grab some and prepared to eat it with rice later.

Shen Yan prepared the meal and brought it to the room to eat.

After dinner, Shen Yan went to boil some bath water and asked Yun Chu to wash up.

After washing up, they took a rest.

After a night's rest, the three of them went down the mountain.

After that, they returned to Taikang Prefecture safely.

"My girl, you've lost weight." Sun Meng said, touching Yun Chu's little face.

"Mom, I've gained a little weight." On the way back, they visited various cities and it took them more than half a year to return.

I really haven't lost weight.

"Dad, Mom, we brought you gifts."

I went to various provincial cities and bought some special items.

After looking at the gifts, Han Jing asked, "Ayan, is your family okay?"

He often heard that many exiled prisoners died before they even reached the place of exile.

"Everything is fine, they are all alive." Before Shen Yan saw his relatives, he had been worried about his grandparents. They were both old and he was afraid that they would not be able to hold on. But fortunately, the whole family was alive.

"Just be alive, things will get better in the future."

"Yeah." Shen Yan nodded.

After chatting for a while, Sun Meng took Yun Chu back to the room to chat alone, "Daughter, tell me honestly, do Shen Yan's parents dislike our family?"

Their family is just an ordinary merchant family. Shen Yan's parents used to be officials.

"No, Shen Yan's father, mother and brother are all fine."

"Shen Yan's mother also gave me a pair of gold earrings." Yun Chu pointed to the earrings she was wearing, "This is what Shen Yan's mother gave me."

Sun Meng was happy, "That's good."

After the conversation, Sun Meng asked Yun Chu to go and rest.

After that, Yun Chu and Shen Yan stayed at home, one studying and the other researching medical prescriptions.

Four years passed like this, and the emperor abdicated and the prince succeeded him.

The new emperor issued a general amnesty and opened a special imperial examination.

Shen Yan and his friends were restored to good status and were able to take part in the imperial examinations.

The Shen family all returned to their ancestral home, Shuangxi Village, Wutong Township, Guizhou.

Yun Chu and Shen Yan also returned to Shuangxi Village and gave money to the Shen family so that they could renovate the ancestral home and buy land.

Moreover, Shen Yan's brother, cousin and others also have to take part in the imperial examination.

Although Shen Yan's native place was Guizhou, he married into a royal family, so he had to attend the event in Taikang Prefecture.

After settling down in the Shen family, Yun Chu and Shen Yan returned to Taikang Prefecture.

Half a year later, the scientific expedition began.

After half a year of imperial examinations, Shen Yan won the third place.

He was appointed by the new emperor to serve as the county magistrate of Lin County, Lanzhou.

Shen Yan first arrived in Lin County, and after settling down, he asked Dali to pick up Yun Chu and the others.

Sun Meng and Han Jing didn't want to leave, but Yun Chu said, "Mom and Dad, if you don't follow me, I don't know what to do if I get pregnant one day."

Hearing this, Sun Meng glanced at Yun Chu's belly and asked, "Girl, are you pregnant?"

Han Jing said, "My wife, my son-in-law has been away for more than half a year, so how can my daughter get pregnant?"

"Yes."

"Dad and Mom, you should come with us. Without you, we will be without a backbone."

"Okay, we'll go with you." Sun Meng felt uneasy when Yun Chu said that she would be pregnant in the future.

Shen Yan and Yun Chu are both young, and they must know a lot of taboos about pregnancy.

Because we were going to Lin County together, we had to pack a lot of things.

Yun Chu told his parents not to collect too many things, as they could go to Lin County to buy them later.

Sun Meng said that buying things costs money, so it is better to save some money.

As for the grocery store, Han Jing and Sun Meng discussed it and decided to give the grocery store to his brother-in-law.

Yun Chu was originally brought to them by their eldest brother-in-law. Now that they are living a good life, this shop is a thank-you gift.

After discussion, Han Jing returned to Ping'an Village and discussed the grocery store matter with his brother-in-law.

Village Chief Sun refused directly. How could he take the shop for free?

“Sister-in-law, when you go to Lin County, you’ll have to spend a lot of money. I can’t just take the grocery store for free.”

"Brother, Yun Chu has made a lot of money in the past few years." Han Jing whispered, "He has made tens of thousands of taels of silver."

The medicine made by his daughter sold very well in Taikang Prefecture.

Especially the wealthy wives of officials would buy a bottle every month.

"So, brother-in-law, you should take this shop. If you hadn't sent Yunchu to my wife and me, we wouldn't be living so happily now."

Under Han Jing's persuasion, Village Chief Sun accepted the deed to the grocery store.

"Brother-in-law, I will give you the key to the house when the time comes. Please help me maintain it." A house needs someone to live in it so that there will be smoke and air. If no one lives in it, it will become abandoned over time.

"Okay." Village Chief Sun asked, "When are you leaving? I'll see you off then."

"I'm still packing. It may take seven or eight days."

"Okay." Village Chief Sun nodded.

After the discussion, Han Jing did not stay for dinner and went straight back to Taikang Prefecture.
