Chapter 222: Distracted



Yan Funing's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course it's true." He lowered his eyes and said, "You're too delicate, I don't like you. Besides, would I be so shameless as to like a woman who broke off my engagement and brought shame to me?"

"Great minds think alike!" Yan Funing let out a long sigh and excitedly grasped his hand, shaking it. "Happy working together!"

Fu Ciyi stared at her holding his hand.

She quickly let go: "I'm sorry, I forgot the difference between men and women."

The man said nothing.

She smiled sincerely and said, "You should like a woman who is your equal, so that you can have a common language. I am just an ordinary person, good at calculating. You even taught me how to recognize and write characters. We are really not a good match."

Fu Ciyi heard it.

She is still the woman who broke off the engagement at the book club.

But now she speaks and acts more tactfully than before.

It clearly means the same thing. Now it sounds like she is belittling herself, but the actual meaning is the same.

Early the next morning, Yan Funing asked Caiyu to help carry a large bag of cotton to the main room.

In the main room, Wan Niang and Fu Nan Yao were sitting.

"Keep the ones for making cushions, and share the rest among the women in the family. They can be used as menstrual bags." Yan Funing whispered, "Just pick out all the seeds."

Wan Niang was in deep thought all night last night.

She figured it out and realized that her son's stupid behavior was probably a lie.

Fu Ning broke off the engagement first, and Ci Yi felt a sense of alienation in his heart.

In this situation, no matter how she, as a mother, urges her, it is useless.

Yan Funing continued, "It cost me thirteen taels of silver to buy a carriage, and three hundred coins to buy cotton. I've spent so much money at once. I want to go into the mountains to collect herbs."

make money.

Wan Niang pinched the cotton and said gently, "Leave this matter to Wei Niang and Nan Yao. The two of us can handle ten kilograms of cotton."

So, during the day, Yan Funing took people into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, while Wan Niang and Fu Nan Yao collected cotton seeds at home.

In the evening, Wanniang and Caiyu continued to collect seeds, while Yan Funing and Fu Nanyao sewed the cushion cover.

On the second night, the covers were sewn, stuffed with cotton, and sealed, and the cushions were ready.

I also made two pillows.

The remaining cotton was divided among the four women. Yan Funing returned to her room, and Caiyu also returned to her residence.

In the past two days, Fu Ciyi has been studying in his room.

Even during the day, he spent less time with Yan Funing than before.

It can be said that he was quite efficient without her around.

So when Yan Funing returned to the room, Fu Ciyi saw her stunned for a moment.

Facts have also proved that when she is beside him, even if his eyes are on the book, his mind can no longer be as focused as before.

The woman affected his efficiency in preparing for the exam.

His intuition told him that Nan Yao and Bei Mo’s childhood injuries were related to Fu Zhengqing.

Fu Zhengqing was the county magistrate, while he was just a scholar. If he wanted to fight with Fu Zhengqing, he had to gain fame and honor.

Thinking of this, he said, "Three days of classes will begin tomorrow, and I plan to stay in the school for three days."

This way he can concentrate on his studies in school.

"Okay." Yan Funing agreed.

He put the cotton into the box, took out the dagger and put it under the pillow.

He said wolves would come at night.

They have lived here for more than three months and have never seen a wolf run into the village. In this case, she hopes he can stay in the school for a few more days.

The next day was April 1st.

After finishing his morning exercises and breakfast, Fu Ciyi sorted out the books he was going to read in school.

Yan Funing entered the room and asked, "Do you want me to help you pack your things?"

"That's fine. Bring two changes of clothes."

He was staying for three days, so two sets were enough for him.

Yan Funing suggested: "You should bring more books. The students in the academy are preparing for the Xiucai exam, and you are preparing for the Juren exam. It will create a learning atmosphere."

She opened the box containing his clothes, sorted out several sets of clothes, folded them and put them into her bag.

Sesame peanut candy and cloud cake were wrapped in two bags each with kraft paper and also put into the bundle.

He looked up and saw her, then smiled: "It's not time for dinner yet, it can be used to fill your stomach."

The man nodded: "Okay."

Soon, Yan Funing was holding two pillows, Caiyu was holding three long cushions, and Fu Ciyi was carrying a bundle and a pile of books, and the three of them went to the village entrance.

When they arrived, Li Xinheng had already harnessed the carriage.

Caiyu first got into the carriage and laid out the cushions, then took the pillow from Yan Funing's hand and helped her into the carriage with one hand.

Fu Ciyi put away the books and baggage and said to Li Xinheng, "I'll drive."

Li Xinheng plopped down in the driver's seat and turned around to say, "Sir, please sit still. I've been feeding the horses these past few days, and Tengyun has gotten to know me well enough to let me drive."

Although he still refuses to ride, being able to drive is a good change.

The speed of the horse-drawn carriage was very fast. It only took a quarter of an hour for the horse-drawn carriage to reach a distance that would take more than half an hour for an ox-drawn cart.

Li Xinheng first sent Fu Ciyi to the gate of Qingshan School, and then drove to Liuji Restaurant.

When the brand new carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant, Liu Song saw that the driver was a big man, so he went to greet him with a smile.

"Is my daughter here?"

"Uncle, it's me."

Before Yan Funing got off the car, a clear shout came out from the carriage.

Liu Song patted the carriage and said, "Great, great, it's much more convenient to have a carriage."

"Uncle, how's business these days?"

Yan Funing got out of the car with the help of Caiyu.

"Business is good." Liu Song smiled and raised his hand to her, "Let's go to the accounting office to talk." Then he turned and instructed Feng, "Take the big guy in through the back door and feed the horses."

My daughter's carriage was parked at the door of the restaurant. A day would be too long and the horses needed to be fed with grass, so it was safer to park it in the stable of the restaurant.
