Hua Fushu had been to Lefeng Tower and Sifang Pavilion, but was relatively unfamiliar with Ruifeng Tower. He asked, "Lizhi, have you heard of Ruifeng Tower? Do you know where it is?"
Lizhi replied, "Ruifenglou is on Xingping Street. Although it's not as famous as Lefenglou and Sifangguan, it's still one of the most famous restaurants in Tokyo."
Hua Fushu said, "Lizhi, you and Sanqiao will come with me to Ruifeng Tower the day after tomorrow."
Sanqiao nodded, and Litchi Fu Shen should be.
Hua Fushu asked Sanqiao to send an invitation to Lu Tianyun on her behalf tomorrow, inviting Lu Tianyun to a banquet at Ruifeng Tower. She wanted to introduce Yu Chisu to Lu Tianyun and use Yu Chisu's banquet to entertain Lu Tianyun.
Good friends should introduce each other.
After receiving the instructions, Sanqiao went to prepare dinner for Hua Fushu. Before she left, Ye Zelin came back.
Before he even sat down, Ye Zelin sent Lizhi to Rongliyuan to tell Madam Ouyang that he and Hua Fushu would have dinner at Rongliyuan tonight.
As soon as Lizhi left, Hua Fushu asked, "Why did you think of going to Rongliyuan to have dinner with your father and mother?"
Ye Zelin said, "It's been a while since I've had dinner with my parents. I also have something to tell them."
Hua Fushu asked, "What's the matter? Tell me about it."
Ye Zelin said: "You will know later."
Hua Fushu suddenly lost interest. Ye Zelin walked past her and a faint scent of powder drifted into her nose.
This faint smell is very familiar, as if I have smelled it somewhere before?
She remembered that this was the smell of Liu Feixu, which she had smelled more than once.
She was certain that Ye Zelin had gone to the Xianhua Club. No wonder he had disappeared early in the morning. It turned out that he was having a secret meeting with a beautiful woman.
Hua Fushu felt sad and a little angry.
This man likes Liu Feixu, why did he marry her in the first place?
He married her, but still hung out with the bitches in the brothel!
What a scumbag!
Ye Zelin looked back and saw Hua Fushu pursing his lips, looking like he had been bullied and wronged. He asked, "What's wrong? Did your grandfather bully you again?"
Hua Fushu suddenly smiled, "Who can bully me? I'm not afraid of your grandpa!"
Apart from his grandfather, he was the one who bullied her.
In the evening, Hua Fushu and Ye Zelin went to Rongliyuan. Not only them, but also Dugu Lanxi and Ye Yunlu were there, as well as sister-in-law Ruhuan. Naturally, people from Feiyuan would not show up in Rongliyuan.
So, there were only seven of them for this meal.
At the dinner table, everyone was talking and laughing happily. Hua Fushu was surprisingly quiet. Apart from the occasional conversation, she basically didn't say anything. No matter how unhappy she was, Hua Fushu's appetite remained the same. She didn't want to starve herself for Ye Zelin, a scumbag.
It was a rare occasion for the couple and father and son to get together, and everyone was very happy. No one noticed Hua Fushu because she kept a normal face and no one could tell that she was unhappy.
The meal was very enjoyable. When everyone was almost full, Ye Zelin put down his chopsticks, wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and announced an important matter.
He is going to take part in the imperial examination next year!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shiheng immediately objected sternly, saying, "No! You are not allowed to go!"
"Why?" Ye Zelin asked.
Ye Shiheng said sternly, "When you took the imperial examination, your father told you that being a son of the Ye family doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. If you dare to go, I'll break your legs!"
Seeing his father's stern objection, Ye Zelin couldn't suppress his temper anymore. He said, "Go ahead, hit me! Even if you break my legs, I'm still going. You can't stop me!"
Ye Shiheng looked at his handsome son, who was just as persistent and stubborn as he was a few years ago. He didn't allow him to take the imperial examination, but he still went to the examination room blatantly!
Afterwards, he punished him severely, thinking that he would no longer think about becoming a civil servant, but he didn't expect that he still didn't give up.
The Ye family has always only produced generals, not civil servants. This is the rule of the Ye family, but this kid just wants to go against it!
He said, "I am your father, you have to listen to me. If I say no, then it is no. What do you think of our Ye family's rules? Do you think the family mission is a joke?"
It was the first time Hua Fushu saw Ye Shiheng and Ye Zelin, father and son, quarreling. The situation was so tense that he was a little confused for a moment.
Madam Ouyang pulled her son aside and said, "Lin'er, what are you doing? You haven't given up yet. Listen to your mother. You are not allowed to take the imperial examination."
Ye Yunlu said, "Second brother, you have overstepped your bounds. Not only do our parents disapprove, but I, your elder brother, also disapprove."
Dugu Lanxi also said: "Second Uncle, do you really want to make the whole family unhappy?"
"Brother, do you really want to go?" Ruhuan objected without understanding. Knowing the rules of the Ye family, she didn't want her brother to take the imperial examination.
Ye Zelin was very persistent. "Father, Mother, I have made up my mind. I am not discussing this with you, I am informing you."
Hua Fushu probably understood what he heard, but didn't say a word. He looked at Ye Zelin's handsome face, his starry eyes filled with incomparable persistence and seriousness. Even though he knew that his family would still oppose it, he still wanted to do what he wanted to do.
She seemed to see herself back then.
She studied medicine, but her parents were against it. Her father wanted her to study business so that she could help her elder brother manage the family business in the future. Her mother wanted her to learn knitting and needlework and become a lady from a wealthy family.
At that time, she had no interest in business and did not like knitting. No matter how her parents opposed it, she still insisted on her interest and studied medicine.
Ye Zelin now is so similar to her back then, yet not quite the same.
What is similar is that they are both very persistent and do what they want to do. What is different is that the Ye family comes from a military background and has a strong sense of family mission, while the Hua family does not.
She knew the Ye family's rule of focusing on martial arts rather than literature. No one had ever been a literary person in the past hundred years. If Ye Zelin insisted on pursuing a literary career, Ye Shiheng would naturally object.
Ye Shiheng slammed his palm on the dining table, making the cups and dishes rattle. "Apart from this matter, you can do whatever you want. Your father has no objection."
If it were other matters, Ye Zelin might have given in, but not on this one. He said, "Father, you said that day that as long as I married Fu Shu, I could do whatever I wanted. It's only been a few months, have you completely forgotten what you promised?"
Ye Zelin still remembers what his father said. He said it was very attentive. He said, "Good son, Dad knows that what I did was wrong, but Dad has no choice. Dad just wants Hua'er to be a member of our Ye family. So, Dad doesn't ask you to like Hua'er, but I ask you to marry Hua'er. From now on, you can do whatever you like. If you want to go to the academy, go to the academy. If you want to go to the brothel, go to the brothel. If you don't like going to the war, don't go to the war."
