Chapter 668: The Ghost Is Still There
"I know you are Uncle Dong's junior sister, Miss Fu, but I don't know this young master——"
Chen Haozhu was mentally preparing herself along the way. Seeing that they were about to reach the dining hall, she couldn't help it any longer. She turned around, glanced quickly at Xiao Lanyuan, and asked crisply.
"Him," Fu Zhaoning smiled, "my husband."
"ah?"
Although Chen Haozhu guessed that this was her husband, she felt uncomfortable when it was confirmed.
Did she come too late?
"Then what should Haozhu be called?"
I've already said he's her husband, why do I need to address him as such? This little girl is pretty brave.
Fu Zhaoning pursed his lips and found it a little funny.
"Master Xiao Liu."
Mr. Xiao Liu?
This name——
Xiao Lanyuan reluctantly pulled her closer, walked past Chen Haozhu, and said in a light tone, "If you have any problems, just find my wife, you don't need to tell me."
He really didn't have the energy to deal with a little girl like this.
Having already seen Mr. Ji and Dong Huanzhi coming, they no longer needed Chen Haozhu to lead the way and just walked straight over.
There is a large table in the dining room that can seat twelve people.
"Zhao Ning, come here quickly. I heard from your senior brother that he is willing to spend money tonight and has invited a chef to cook a table of dishes. These are local dishes of Jicheng. Let's try them tonight. Can A Yuan have a couple of drinks?"
He lowered his voice and asked Fu Zhaoning at the end. After all, whether Xiao Lanyuan could drink alcohol depended on the opinion of Fu Zhaoning, the attending physician.
"I don't take any internal medicine anymore. If you want to drink, you can have two cups."
After Fu Zhaoning said this, Mr. Ji became happy.
"That's great. I haven't had a chance to drink it. Let Huanzhi open a jar of good wine tonight."
"Master, I'm going to open the altar to get drunk for the rest of my life."
Dong Huanzhi was also very happy.
Fu Zhaoning had already smelled the fragrance. The presentation of the dishes on the table was amazing. Almost all of them were things she had never eaten before. She couldn't even tell what the ingredients of some of them were. It was really rare.
You know, she has eaten all over the world.
In addition to Dong Huanzhi, there are three other people from the Medicine Alliance. They are all middle-aged and hold important positions in the Medicine Alliance. They are here to have dinner with us tonight.
Old Ji also wanted them to be more familiar with Fu Zhaoning. By the time a hundred years pass, everyone in the World Medicine Alliance must be familiar with Fu Zhaoning.
"Zhao Ning, come and meet them. These three have been in the Medicine Alliance for more than ten years, Liu Hanlin, Yao Baipo, and Ge Tai. Among them, one is in charge of the Medicine Alliance's reward silver and missions, one is in charge of the distribution of medicinal materials, and one is in charge of the Medicine Alliance's transportation points in various places."
Mr. Ji specifically wanted Fu Zhaoning to meet the most capable and practical people in the Medicine Alliance. If she needed help with anything in the future, she could just look for these three people.
"They also travel around frequently, but the Medicine Alliance delivery points will speed up the delivery of messages. If you need anything from them, just send a letter to the nearest delivery point, and they will be responsible for finding the person as quickly as possible."
The three of them stood up and nodded to Fu Zhaoning.
"Hello, Junior Sister Fu."
They are not Master Ji's disciples, but as they are from different masters in the Medicine Alliance, they can be considered brothers and sisters.
Although they are much older than Fu Zhaoning, Fu Zhaoning is Master Ji's last disciple, so his seniority is very high.
Otherwise, if someone enters the sect at this age, then she would usually be their niece.
"Zhao Ning has met the three senior brothers."
They greeted Xiao Lanyuan again.
Dong Huanzhi came over with the jar of wine, followed by Madam Chen.
As soon as Mrs. Chen came in, the wind blew in from outside, bringing with it some of her fragrance.
This subtle fragrance doesn't feel like that of a sachet, but a very high-end fragrance.
Chen Haozhu followed her.
Fu Zhaoning looked at Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen has a gentle and beautiful appearance, and most importantly, she has a good temperament and figure. Chen Haozhu's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to hers, and they can be seen at first glance as mother and daughter.
The hem of her skirt was embroidered with a piece of silver-white water splashes, which was quite special. It looked like rippling water waves when she walked, making it difficult to take your eyes off it.
When Mr. Ji saw the mother and daughter coming over, he couldn't help but look at Dong Huanzhi.
At noon, I mentioned that I had taken in this mother and daughter for four years. Why are they being brought to Xiao Lanyuan and Fu Zhaoning now?
"Let me introduce you. This is Madam Chen and her daughter Haozhu. Madam Chen invited Jicheng's chef to prepare this dinner tonight to welcome Master and Junior Sister."
Dong Huanzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Mrs. Chen had always been very obedient and gentle, and it was a rare opportunity for her to go out and have dinner with so many people, so he was quite happy.
"Really? Thank you very much, Mrs. Chen." Looking at Mrs. Chen's expression, Mr. Ji couldn't say anything harsh.
However, he secretly glanced at Dong Huanzhi and had some dissatisfaction with him.
Can't he arrange a welcoming dinner himself, and has to ask someone else to come?
As if it were difficult to say.
"Mrs. Chen greets you." Mrs. Chen bowed gracefully. Chen Haozhu followed her and bowed.
"Sit down."
Mr. Ji spoke.
They all sat down. On the left of Mr. Ji sat Dong Huanzhi, on the right sat Fu Zhaoning, next to Fu Zhaoning sat Xiao Lanyuan, and on Dong Huanzhi's side sat Ge Tai and his two companions. Madam Chen sat down next to Ge Tai and his companions. Chen Haozhu took a look and felt a little sweet in her heart, because after she sat down, Xiao Lanyuan happened to be next to her.
However, there were three empty seats between her and Xiao Lanyuan. She sat next to her mother, so there were still two empty seats away from Xiao Lanyuan.
She really wanted to sit next to Xiao Lanyuan.
In this way, Xiao Lanyuan had Fu Zhaoning on one side and her on the other, and it seemed as if they were both people around him.
Maybe the people at the table will see this and make a joke about it later?
She was willing to be joked about this because it might eventually come true.
At least it could create a ripple in Xiao Lanyuan's heart.
"Are we here at the right time?"
A clear voice came from outside the door.
When everyone looked, they saw that it was Situ Bai who came with Princess Fuyun.
They didn't dare not bring in what the disciples of the Medicine Alliance brought. Princess Fuyun came without a veil this time, with her face exposed.
"Princess Fuyun is here." Chenxiang was afraid that someone here might not recognize her Highness the Princess, so he announced clearly.
Everyone at the table stood up immediately.
Madam Chen and Chen Haozhu were a little shocked. Why would Princess Fuyun come here?
Xiao Lanyuan and Fu Zhaoning were too lazy to stand up. They sat lazily and looked at the people who walked in.
It's really a bit haunting.
Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but think of this word.
"Everyone, please sit down. No need to be polite." Princess Fuyun pressed her hands lightly, motioning them to sit down. She looked towards Xiao Lanyuan.
