His big hands were hidden under her cloak, and he gradually withdrew his Funing felt pain: "Why are you pinching me so hard? It hurts me." She hit him, "Are you angry because of what you saw just now, and you are taking your anger out on me?" Fu Ciyi suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "I once had a dream that the lotus on your lower back would become more colorful during intercourse." Yan Funing's heart started beating wildly and she quickly covered his annoying mouth and looked around. "It's fine to say shameless things in the room, but how can you say them in the courtyard?" You look like a gentleman who is abstinent, but why don't you choose the place where you say nonsense? Fu Ciyi suddenly laughed and gently took away the hand that was covering his lips: "Just now you teased me, now I tease you, we're even." "You are so good, Fu Ciyi, you are just trying to make trouble for me." As he pulled her away, Yan Funing kept mumbling and cursing all the way, but Fu Ciyi was pleased to hear it. As the weather is cold, dinner should be served early. During the meal, Fu Nanyao and Meng Li did not mention the quarrel just now, so Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing pretended not to know anything.

After dinner, everyone left the dining room. The night is getting darker. Yan Funing felt something cold falling on her face. She reached out to catch it and found it was snowflakes. Looking up, snowflakes were floating in the light and shadow of the lanterns hanging high on the roadside. "It's snowing again!" she sighed. "It snows so often in Beijing." Fu Ciyi said: "It's probably freezing rain in Jinzhou right now." "Speaking of Jinzhou, I think of Qingshan Town." Yan Funing said. "Once the complicated things in the capital are over, I plan to go back to Jinzhou and take you with me." "Hurrah." The couple returned to the main courtyard. However, he did not return to his room, but went to the study to read medical books. When Fu Ciyi took the medical book, he saw a piece of paper covered with various symbols: "What are these words?" "Numbers, I'm doing the accounting. Tomorrow Jingzhao Prefecture will host the auction of Fufeng Restaurant, and I've calculated the budget." “Is this the word from your world?” Yan Funing nodded: "Yes." Fu Ciyi didn't ask any more questions. He gently put down the rice paper and asked calmly, "Since you studied medicine in that world, you should know the structure of the human body. Why are you still afraid of me?" Yan Funing lowered her eyes to look at his belly, then quickly looked away and said seriously, "Statistics show that most men are in a certain range. But you jumped out of this range and went far up. Do you understand?" It is a misery to be the wife of such a man. She ended up with a husband like him.

The man said seriously: "Since you are so scared, just cut it off." Yan Funing jumped up when she heard this: "Are you stupid? Are you stupid?" "If you don't like it, why keep it?" the man said calmly. Yan Funing blurted out: "Who said I don't like it?" After saying that, he covered his mouth. "That means I like you." The man laughed out loud. Yan Funing finally realized that she had been tricked: "I didn't say I liked you." "Do you like it or not?" he pressed her. "Oh, I won't say anything." She put down the medical book and ran back to her room. Fu Ciyi stood up slowly and followed him back to the room. - The next morning, the entire capital was covered with snow. Yan Funing arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture early. When she arrived, Liu Chengwen, Shopkeeper Yang and the neighbors also arrived, but no one from Jingzhao Prefecture was there. Yang Shu raised his hand to introduce: "My dear old neighbors, this is my employer, Miss Yan, also Mrs. Fu. Thanks to my lady, I, Yang, can resume my old business and now live a prosperous life." The neighbors who came with Yang Shu were all over 40 years old. They had seen the recent changes in the Yang family, and now seeing that Yan Funing looked very young, they all admired her. "The second young lady is young and promising. Anyone who can do business well on East Third Street is not an ordinary person." Someone said. Someone else said, "We old neighbors originally opened a shop together, but after the shop was overthrown, we lost our livelihood. Now that Fufeng Restaurant is up for bid, we really hope that the second young lady will be successful in the bid!" As soon as this was said, the neighbors echoed it. As everyone was chatting, a few people came out. The leader was wearing an official robe and was chatting with a young woman. Yan Funing glanced over and met the woman's eyes. This woman was none other than Cai Mushi. She glanced at Yan Funing, then turned her head and said to Jingzhao Yin, "Sir, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been assigned many tasks by the Emperor recently, so he has no time to come and watch me bid. Otherwise, he would definitely come." Jing Zhao Yin echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, and it is a blessing for the concubine to be able to participate in the auction." Cai Mushi nodded: "My father has talked to me about you many times, saying that you are upright and honest. Today I see that it is indeed true." "Prime Minister Cai, you are too kind." Jingzhao Yin had a constant smile on his face. As the conversation between the two men came out, the people who came to bid looked at each other in bewilderment. There were a few people who recognized Cai Mushi, and when they heard her new identity, they decided to withdraw from the bidding. Jingzhao Yin was puzzled: "The bidding hasn't even started yet, why are you withdrawing?" One of them said, "The Crown Prince's concubine is here to bid for us. How can we win the competition? Let's withdraw."

They originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, but who would have thought that among the participants there was the Crown Prince's concubine, and this woman was also the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Cai. How could they, common people, compete with such people? When one person quits, others will follow suit. In just a moment, seven people expressed their intention to withdraw from the bidding. Caiyu stood beside Yan Funing and said, "Miss, they have achieved their goal of using their status to pressure others." "Let them go." Yan Funing's voice was quite calm. Soon, a bailiff loudly asked whether the remaining bidders had arrived. After calling out a few names, he called out, "Are there any representatives from East Third Street coming over?" Yan Funing raised her hand: "Here I come." When the yamen runner heard this, he said to the Jingzhao Yin, "Sir, there are nine people left to bid. Will the auction start now?" Jing Zhao Yin looked around and said loudly, "Then let's get started. Bidders step forward and the public stand at the back." After saying that, he sat behind the three-foot-high desk. The bidders stood in the middle. They all bowed to Jingzhao Yin and said, "Greetings, sir." Jingzhao Yin nodded, looking past Cai Mushi, who was the prince's concubine, and according to her rank, she didn't need to bow to him. The other seven bowed to him, which was as they should. Only one girl remained standing straight, but she did not greet him. Well, not everyone in the world is polite. This girl is pretty but doesn’t know etiquette. Why is she participating in the auction? Thinking of this, he shook his head secretly and said loudly: "Fufeng Restaurant's starting price is 10,000 taels. Let's compete." Someone raised his hand: "Eleven thousand taels." Cai Mushi raised her hand: "Twelve thousand taels." Someone else shouted, "Thirteen thousand taels." Cai Mushi raised her hand again: "Fifteen thousand taels." An old man shouted loudly: "Sixteen thousand taels." Cai Mushi looked in the direction of the voice: "Seventeen thousand taels." When everyone saw that the Crown Prince's concubine was following closely, they stopped bidding, fearing that they would cause unnecessary trouble. The surroundings fell silent for a moment, and Jingzhao Yin asked, "Are there any other bidders?" (End of this chapter)
