Jin Lingcen saw that the restaurant was still open and walked over: "Why is the shopkeeper at the door?" Liu Song stood up to greet him: "Sir, are you here to eat medicinal food?" "I came to try my luck. I didn't expect your restaurant is still open at this moment." "Please come in, sir." Liu Song raised his hand and told the waiter inside, "Xiangyang, serve the three dishes to the sir." Xiangyang answered yes and went to the kitchen. Jin Lingcen walked slowly into the restaurant. There were no other customers in the restaurant. Soon, Xiangyang, Xiaowen and Xiaowu each came up with a portion of medicinal food. Jin Lingcen sat down and started eating. Yan Funing behind the counter said to herself, "There was someone who liked to eat medicinal food before."

Jin Lingcen continued: "Those who eat medicinal food are those who are in poor health. Miss Yan is talking about Prince Chi." "You are not an ordinary dude." "Thank you for your compliment, but your medicinal food is really delicious." Jin Lingcen guessed, "Second Miss Yan has something on her mind, and that is she doesn't want to marry Prince Chi." Surprised that he could see through her thoughts, Yan Funing gave him a pot of wine. Jin Lingcen added: "You don't want to marry Master Fu either." Yan Funing then brought another pot of wine. Jin Lingcen raised his hand to signal Ah Meng, who was following him, to pour the wine, but Yan Funing stopped him: "After eating the medicinal food, it's best not to drink alcohol. Take these two pots of wine back and drink them. Tonight's medicinal food is also my treat." It's rare for someone to understand her. Ah Meng swallowed and said, "Miss Yan, can I have some midnight snack too? I have money." As he said this, he took out some change from his waist belt. "If you can eat it, you don't have to pay." Yan Funing smiled and said, "It's hot today. If you don't eat it tonight, you won't be able to eat it tomorrow." The cook and the other waiters all went back to their residences, leaving only Xiangyang and the Wenwu brothers in the restaurant. Yan Funing then called them to eat with Ah Meng: "Go to the kitchen and get your food. Take whatever you want." They were naturally happy and soon brought out a lot of food. Ah Meng said as he ate: "Your young shopkeeper is such a good master." "Of course, we don't have to worry about food and clothing." Xiao Wen said with a smile. On the other side, Yan Funing sat next to Jin Lingcen so that she could see the entrance of the restaurant at a glance. Seeing her like this, Jin Lingcen said, "You have troubles, and I have troubles too." Yan Funing said directly: "You are considering whether to recognize Pang Anmeng, but it is nothing more than a matter of face, fearing that you will be rejected again."

Jin Lingcen drank a big spoonful of soup and said in surprise: "I really taught you to guess it right." The two smiled at each other. Jin Lingcen put down the soup spoon and said solemnly: "You understand me, and I understand you, let's be friends." "You don't have any friends? Hong Li is one, right?" "He is the only one who counts as one, the rest are just bad friends." "Okay, if you don't scold me, I'll treat you as a friend." Jin Lingcen smiled and said ashamedly: "I scolded you wrongly. You didn't hook up with Fu Ciyi or Long Chi'an." He has heard about recent events. Combined with what I just saw, it was confirmed that he was indeed prejudiced in the past. With such a beautiful appearance, why would she need to seduce others? It was obvious that those men were circling around her. The two of them laughed away their grudges. At this time, two tall and slender gentlemen appeared at the door. Liu Song personally led them inside and said to Yan Funing, "My girl, the second and third young masters are here to pick you up." Yan Xinghe said: "Sister didn't come back late at night, and parents were worried that something might happen to you." "Brother, I'm fine." Yan Funing stood up and said to Jin Lingcen with a sidelong glance, "Eat slowly, I'll be back first." Jin Lingcen waved his hand: "If you have anything to say in the future, you can come to me." "Okay." Yan Funing also waved her hand and left with her two brothers. Yan Bojian was surprised: "When did you become friends with him?" "Just now." After the three Yan siblings left Chengwen Building, Fu Jiang, who was hiding in the dark corner of East Third Street, also left. He returned to the Fu Mansion as quickly as possible. The light was on in the study. Fu Jiang walked in quickly and bowed: "Sir, do you really not want to see Miss Yan?" Fu Ciyi was writing something without raising his head: "No." "Miss Yan waited in Chengwen Building until late at night, and was just taken back by the two young masters of the Yan family. Young master, are you planning to climb over the wall of the Duke's Mansion in the middle of the night?" “No.” Is he the kind of person who likes to climb over the wall? fart!

He has always been disgusted by such behavior. Fu Jiang was anxious: "Young Master, it's useless to give up on yourself like this. If you continue like this, Miss Yan will really become the Princess of a County. From now on, according to your rank, when you see the Princess of a County, you should show courtesy." "Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Fu Ciyi pointed at the door of the study room, "Get lost." Fu Jiang then quickly left. - The next morning. Long Chi'an brought gifts to the Duke's Mansion. Hong Qingyi smiled and asked, "Why is Chi An doing this?" Long Chi'an said politely, "Aunt, I would like to invite Fu Ning to come to our house for a simple meal today, and to meet the people of our Shi family." Upon hearing this, Yan Funing quickly said, "I'm sorry, Prince, I have something to do today. I have many matters to deal with at the shop on East Third Street, so I really don't have time to go to your house." Long Chi'an could hear her estrangement, but he didn't insist. He smiled and said softly, "We can do it another day. There's no rush today." "Mom, I'm leaving first." Yan Funing said something to her mother and quickly left with Caiyu. When we arrived at East Third Street, it was not yet time for dinner, but we found that Chengwen Building was unusually lively. Yan Funing quickened her pace and entered the restaurant. She was delighted to see several familiar faces that she had not seen for a long time. It turned out that Liu Chengwen had come to the capital. Not only did he come, but Tong Cheng and Tong Ya also came. Liu Chengwen was pinched on the face by his mother. He glanced at Yan Funing and greeted her with joy: "Sister." Yan Funing smiled with her eyebrows curved and asked directly: "Did Brother Chengwen pass the exam to become a scholar?" Liu Chengwen shook his head and said frankly: "I didn't pass the exam." "Brother Chengwen has lost a lot of weight." Yan Funing looked him up and down. "Did he lose weight because of practicing martial arts?" Tong Cheng stepped forward and bowed: "Hello young lady, Brother Chengwen lost weight for us father and daughter." "What do you mean?" Yan Funing was curious. Tong Cheng said gratefully: "I heard that Xiaoya's mother was in the capital, so I wanted to bring Xiaoya to look for her. But I didn't have the money, so I had to shamelessly ask Brother Chengwen who was also going to the capital for help." "During this trip, he not only helped me take care of Xiaoya, but also had to drive the car. He was so busy that he lost weight." "Why are you saying this? I have abdominal muscles all over my belly now." Liu Chengwen smiled and took out two money bags from his bag. "Sister, the big one is the dividend from Liu's Restaurant, and the small one is the commission from Wang Qi Cloth Shop." Yan Funing didn't even count and accepted it directly: "Thank you, Brother Chengwen." Liu Chengwen was delighted to hear this: "Sister, our restaurant has a great name!" He held her son's arm and said, "My daughter is the daughter of a duke in the current dynasty. You have to change the way you address her, sister." "The daughter of the Duke's Mansion?" Liu Chengwen's eyes widened, and then he laughed, "Then I am the brother of the daughter of the Duke's Mansion."

He glared at him and said, "Why don't you listen, kid?" "What are you listening to? Doesn't mother call you her daughter all the time?" Liu Chengwen retorted. Yan Funing smiled and said, "Aunt, just call me as you always do. It's fine." (End of this chapter)
