Qibao said, "No problem. We have a lot of delicious food at home. You're always welcome."

At this time, Boss Qian came in personally carrying the pot base, followed by two waiters carrying trays, and said, "Master Wen, your order is ready."

Magistrate Wen said, "Boss Qian has personally served us the food. Would you like to sit down and have a couple of drinks?"

Boss Qian smiled and said, "Master Wen, you are too polite. I am really busy right now. It is time to serve guests. When I have the chance, I will set up a table and invite you for a few drinks."

Wen Zhifu said: "That's fine, we can drink together when we have the chance."

Boss Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old man and his companions were not troubled. He said, "Master Wen, Uncle Xu, I'll be leaving first."

At the dinner table, the old man and Magistrate Wen talked more and more and felt that they had met too late.

After three rounds of drinking and eating their fill, Wen Yuan saw that it was already dark and said, "Dad, it's getting late. Mom must still be waiting for us to go back!"

Magistrate Wen looked out the window and saw that it was indeed getting late, so he said, "Old man, I really should go back. I'll come and have a drink with you when I have time."

The old man said, "Okay, big brother, go to the backyard and get two jars of wine for the master to take back."

Magistrate Wen thanked him repeatedly. Although he was a little tipsy, his mind was still clear. It seemed that he could drink quite well.

The old man accompanied Magistrate Wen all the way to the gate of Juxiang Pavilion, and only returned to the backyard after the three of them got on the carriage.

"Dad, didn't you say before that the matter of this winery should be kept secret for the best? Why did you tell it directly to Prefect Wen today?" Uncle Xu asked.

The old man smiled and said, "Before, our family didn't have the strength, so we had to keep a low profile. Now, we no longer need to do that. You know the abilities of our children. Qibao's Twelve Guards are rarely rivaled. Boss! Our family now has some means of self-defense!"

Uncle Xu was stunned for a moment, then said in a daze, "Yes! Dad, all of this is due to Qibao. Unknowingly, our Xu family has reached this point. Only five short years have passed. Looking back now, it really feels like a dream."

Qibao said, "Uncle, our family will be even better in the future. I want our Xu family's businesses to be spread across every town in Dragon Soul Country!"

The old man said: "You are worthy of being my granddaughter. Grandpa has been waiting for this day!"

Uncle Xu asked, "Just now, the prefect said that a man in black came to him with a token and asked him to take good care of Juxiang Pavilion. I don't know who it could be!"

The old man patted Uncle Xu on the head and said, "How could I have such a stupid son like you! The prefect's words implied that this person was from the capital. Who else do you think we could know besides Chenyu and Jingchen?"

Uncle Xu rubbed his forehead and said, "Dad, are you talking about one of them?"

The old man rolled his eyes at his son and said, "Nonsense! It seems the Chenyu family's status in the capital is even higher than I thought! They must be high-ranking officials!"

Uncle Xu said, "So Jingchen is Chenyu's cousin, so Jingchen's family must be extraordinary, at least he must be an official."

The old man said, "It's their high status that matters. We need to become stronger ourselves. Even if we have a good relationship, you can't always rely on others to protect you, understand?"

Uncle Xu nodded.

Time passed quickly. These days, Wendie often came to Juxiang Pavilion to talk to Qibao. After a few interactions, they quickly became familiar with each other.

Qibao discovered that Wendie was the kind of person who looked gentle and elegant, but was actually a person who would not give in easily.

At this time, Qibao, Zhang and Wendie were sitting in the backyard of Juxiang Pavilion drinking tea and chatting.

As they chatted, they talked about the exam.

Zhang said, "I don't know how Wenwu is doing in the examination hall, and whether his body can withstand it."

Wen Die said, "Aunt, don't worry. If anyone becomes unwell and is unable to continue the exam, the soldiers inside will escort them out. Some people have already been escorted out of the exam hall due to health reasons. Master Xu should be fine."

The eldest aunt breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, my family's Wenwu has learned martial arts, so his body is stronger than that of ordinary people."

Wen Die said in surprise: "Mr. Xu is indeed outstanding. He even learned martial arts."

Zhang said with some heartache, "Yes! This child has a strong personality. As the eldest son and grandson in the family, he has greater responsibilities. He is obsessed with protecting his family, so he often studies until midnight every day and gets up before dawn to learn martial arts. He suffers a lot."

When Wendie heard what Zhang said, a look of heartache appeared on her face, but she didn't notice it herself.

Qibao, sitting nearby, saw everything clearly. He turned his eyes and asked, "Sister Die'er, what do you think of my eldest brother?"

Wen Die thought for a moment and said, "I've only met Master Wen twice, but he's certainly a handsome man."

Qibao said, "Hey! My eldest brother is already fifteen this year and will soon be getting married. I don't know what kind of sister-in-law he will find for me in the future."

Zhang said, "As long as your eldest brother likes it and has a good personality, I won't object. It depends on him."

Wen Die pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Mr. Xu is a man of both literary and martial talents, and he is also humble and outstanding in appearance. I'm sure many girls will like him in the future."

Qibao said with a grin, "Does Sister Die'er like it too?"

When Wen Die heard this, her face turned red with embarrassment and she almost stood up and wanted to run away.

Yuan Er behind him covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Miss Xu, you can't tease my young lady. She is shy, how could she like Mr. Xu?"
