There were two tables for the birthday banquet in the private room. Yan Funing found out that it was the guests invited by the pavilion chief.
The total cost of the two tables of dishes was more than five taels of silver, which was a considerable expense for ordinary people.
She thought about it and sent two servings of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master, for hosting this banquet!" She raised her hand to signal the waiter to bring the dishes. "I'll have everyone try some, and I wish my husband a happy birthday, year after year!"
When waiters Feng and Gao helped bring the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to the table, everyone cheered loudly.
The pavilion chief was even more delighted: "Young shopkeeper, this is the icing on the cake!"
Fu Ciyi looked at her deeply and said, "Thank you, my lady!" Then he walked to her side and said, "Let's eat together."
"I've already had lunch. Let's have it at home tonight."
"Okay."
After the banquet, everyone in the private room came out one after another.
The headman came to the counter and thanked Yan Funing again.
Two servings of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall were served, making him feel very proud. Although he knew that the young lady of the Fu family was doing it for her husband, it was his guest after all.
Yan Funing smiled: "I haven't had time to thank the Pavilion Master yet."
The two chatted for a few more minutes.
The guard saw Lu Wenfeng coming out and called out to him, "Mr. Lu, could you please go to Qingshan Academy and share your experience in the Autumn Examination?"
Lu Wenfeng was surprised: "Ci Yi is the top scorer in the exam, why not ask him to speak?"
"Of course I will. Your previous knowledge is key..." The pavilion chief paused and smiled, "Your subsequent performance was truly astonishing. Such experience is even more valuable to ordinary students."
Yan Funing covered her lips and smiled.
It turns out that the pavilion chief wanted Lu Wenfeng to talk about how to make a comeback from being a poor student.
Just like this, Fu Ciyi and Lu Wenfeng were invited to the school.
--
The setting sun gradually sets and the sky is filled with sunset clouds.
Fu Ciyi and Lu Wenfeng came out of the school, followed by Liu Chengwen.
The three of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived at Liuji Restaurant.
"To be honest, Ci Yi, this is the first time in my life."
Lu Wenfeng sighed that he was regarded as a role model, and it felt really good to be respected for his knowledge.
Liu Chengwen sneered, "You think you can compare with my master and brother-in-law?"
Lu Wenfeng said: "I don't want to be compared with Ci Yi. But you don't even have the title of scholar."
"Next year, next year I will definitely pass the imperial examination." Liu Chengwen thought for a moment and said, "No, who says that one must pass the imperial examination to have a future? There are still many talented people who can't pass the imperial examination."
"Well said."
A soft and clear voice came from the restaurant.
Liu Chengwen looked at the owner of the voice: "After all, it's my sister who loves me."
Yan Funing smiled and said, "Taking the imperial examination is a path that everyone generally believes in. As Brother Cheng Wen said, there are many other talented people."
She raised her hand and pointed at them one by one: "For example, Uncle is a master at running a restaurant, Uncle Jin is a master in the culinary world, and everyone has their own specialties."
Chef Jin couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "The young shopkeeper is really good at talking."
Liu Song was also happy to hear this.
Liu Chengwen called out, "Dad, then next year..."
Is it possible that I don’t have to take the exam for the scholar degree?
Before he could even ask, Liu Song stopped him: "Your sister is protecting you."
Yan Funing smiled again, said goodbye to Liu Song, and went home.
When they arrived at the door of the Fu family's new house, Lu Wenfeng stepped over the threshold and saw Liu Chengwen also raised his foot.
"How can you be so shameless?"
Liu Chengwen bared his two small canine teeth and said, "This is my sister's house. Today is my brother-in-law's birthday. Shouldn't I ask for a drink?"
The two of them were bickering again. Just as Yan Funing was about to mediate, a young woman came out from the courtyard.
The woman walked straight towards Fu Ciyi and said, "Sir, you're back. Do you want to wash your hands?"
The people who had just returned looked at each other in bewilderment.
Caiyu took a step forward: "Who are you?"
The woman smiled sweetly at Fu Ciyi, "This house belongs to the young master, so naturally I belong to him."
Yan Funing got goosebumps when she heard this and looked at Fu Ciyi.
Fu Ciyi was also full of doubts and asked the woman, "Who are you?"
The voice is extremely cold.
The woman knelt down and said, "I am here to serve Mr. Jie Yuan. I am your bed warmer."
Yan Funing was surprised: "Bed warmer?"
Lu Wenfeng naturally knew the use of a bed-warming maid and smiled immediately.
Caiyu glared at Lu Wenfeng and explained to her mistress, "It's the maid who warms the master's bed on cold nights. Sometimes she sleeps with the master in bed and uses her body to warm the master's feet, holding them in front of her."
Yan Funing became furious when she heard this.
The woman said, "I am here to serve Mr. Jie Yuan. If Mrs. Jie Yuan is not feeling well, I can take her place..."
Yan Funing was shocked and her anger was rising.
Fu Ciyi interrupted him with a cold face: "Who sent it?"
Fu Nanyao limped over and said, "He's the owner of the new inn that opened today."
She didn't hear what they said before.
I only heard my brother ask who sent her, and then he added: "I saw she was quite clever, so I wanted to keep her as my maid."
Fu Ciyi glanced coldly at the woman on the ground: "Get lost."
The woman quickly begged Fu Nanyao: "Miss, please help me to plead for her. My legs and feet are inconvenient, and I need a maid to serve me closely."
Fu Nanyao then said to her brother, "Brother, let this girl be my maid."
Caiyu said angrily, "Miss Nanyao, this girl is a bed warmer and wants to climb into my brother-in-law's bed. How dare you keep such a girl?"
The woman took out a handkerchief, covered her face and sobbed, "Mrs. Jieyuan can't tolerate me." She looked at Fu Nanyao with tears in her eyes, "I'm afraid I can't be your maid anymore."
