"Since we're both scholars, once we've spoken, we can't take it back." Lu Wenfeng spread his legs and feet. "You must get in here and bark like a dog again."
"Ten times, not one less!"
Even if I get scolded again when I get home, I have to get rid of this anger today.
Fu Zhengqing walked past Sun Shanhe and bowed to Prince Chi with a flattering smile: "Prince, please speak a fair word."
Prince Chi glanced at Yan Funing and smiled faintly.
After a moment, he turned back, pointed at Lu Wenfeng, and asked Fu Minghe, "What will you do if he loses?"
Fu Minghe followed Prince Chi's line of sight and saw the charming Yan Funing. Without hesitation, he blurted out, "Execute as agreed."
Prince Chi nodded and said, "Then let it be done."
Fu Zhengqing slapped his son hard on the back in frustration.
Fu Minghe finally came to his senses.
His face turned pale and blue, but he had to squat down and crawl under Lu Wenfeng's crotch.
Fu Beimo and Meng Li cheered from the side: "Bark like a dog, bark like a dog!"
Fu Minghe's face gradually turned red as he saw everyone staring at him.
Hatred flashed across his eyes, and he reluctantly barked ten times: "Woof woof woof..."
Fu Beimo and Meng Li applauded.
The students had different expressions.
The villagers present were watching with great interest. Since the person crawling on the ground was the county magistrate's son, they did not dare to cheer loudly, but a lot of light laughter could be heard.
Fu Minghe was filled with hatred after hearing this.
He will repay Lu Wenfeng and Fu Ciyi a hundredfold for today's humiliation one day!
Prince Chi said loudly, "It's getting late, let's set off."
Sun Shanhe echoed, "The top thirty in the Autumn Examination should have received the good news by now and are all rushing to the provincial capital. It's time for us to set off too."
Prince Chi said goodbye to Yan Funing: "Miss, see you tomorrow."
Yan Funing smiled and nodded: "See you tomorrow."
Turning her head, she saw Fu Ciyi with a stern face, calling softly, "Husband."
Fu Ciyi didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and left with everyone.
The villagers had never seen so many officials before, one of whom was even a prince, so they followed the team out of the village.
The Fu family yard gradually became quiet.
The classmates thought that Fu Zhengqing was still the county magistrate, and as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, so they all went to Fu Minghe to comfort him.
Fu Minghe shouted coldly: "Get out of here!"
Liu Yuanjing took the lead and returned to his own carriage, and his classmates also got on one after another.
The drivers just now were all disguised as Fu's thugs, so now the students had to drive back by themselves.
Only Fu Minghe and four thugs were left.
Lu Wenfeng vented his anger and walked up to Fu Nanyao in a high-spirited manner: "Miss Fu, I'd like to have a drink."
Fu Nanyao lowered her eyes: "My sister-in-law is the head of the family, you can ask her."
Lu Wenfeng then asked Yan Funing, "Miss Yan, Ci Yizhong has passed the imperial examination. You are so happy. Could I stay for a drink?"
"Of course you can."
Yan Funing was about to tell Caiyu to go to the town to make some purchases when she heard Fu Minghe's sarcastic laugh.
"I was wondering how Fu Ciyi could win the title of Jieyuan. It turns out you paid for it with your body."
Yan Funing was shocked and angry: "Please be careful with your words!"
"Fu Minghe, you little bastard, you bastard!" Wan Niang was furious and shouted, "Is this how your father taught you to behave?"
Fu Minghe grinned and shouted, "She was flirting with the prince just now. Did she think everyone was blind? Fu Ciyi is really magnanimous. Oh no, he is not magnanimous. He is using her to exchange for his future."
Everyone was angry when they heard this.
Fortunately, the villagers have all gone to the village entrance at this time. If these words were to spread, it would be extremely detrimental to the woman's reputation.
Yan Funing was so angry that her whole body was shaking: "Beat him up!"
Fu Beimo, Meng Li, Li Xinheng, Caiyu, Zhang Tie and Zhang Tong attacked together.
Even Lu Wenfeng joined in the fight.
Fu Minghe's skills are not very good, but his four thugs are quite skilled.
However, Fu Beimo and Meng Li have made rapid progress recently.
Fu Minghe and his men were quickly defeated and fled in carriages with bruised faces and noses.
Yan Funing finally felt relieved. She took out her purse and told Caiyu and Li Xinheng to go to the town to buy some things.
"Buy some more food and wine. There's a wedding going on at home, so we need to invite all the neighbors over for dinner and drinks. Oh, and buy some candy beans too. We'll share some with everyone so they can share in the good cheer."
After taking the purse, the two men agreed and set off immediately.
Wan Niang pulled Yan Funing's hand and said, "It's time to prepare the banquet. I'm sorry to trouble you, Funing."
"It's fun, not hard, and besides, we all have to work together."
Yan Funing glanced at the wooden box in the main room.
The wooden box was tied with red silk, making it quite eye-catching.
But this is a reward from the court and the government office. If I invite my neighbors today, someone will come to see it.
Although no one can tell how much silver and money are in the box, the box still has to be kept there.
If we put the box in the west wing now, we will not be able to control the number of villagers who come to drink.
Thinking of this, she said to Zhang Tiezhang, "Two big brothers, guard the box today and don't let anyone get too close."
The two strong men patted their chests and said, "Don't worry, girl. Leave it to us."
On this day, the Fu family courtyard was unusually lively.
The aunts, sisters-in-law and other relatives rolled up their sleeves and helped with cooking.
There weren't enough tables and chairs, so the neighbors volunteered to bring them in. There were too many tables and chairs to fit in, so they were placed directly in the open space outside the yard.
Countless villagers came to congratulate and ask for a drink. After all, it was an honor for the whole village to have a scholar.
Even the village head came.
As soon as he entered the room, he said to Wanniang, "I'm truly ashamed. We had conflicts before, and it was all my family's fault. Today your doctor has passed the imperial examination, which is truly a cause for celebration. Sister Wanniang, don't take it too seriously. I just came to congratulate you."
