After Jiang Ci left, the waiter brought lunch in.

"Madam, your husband-in-law is really considerate of you. He didn't forget to order the food for you before he left. Can I put it on the table for you now?"

Yan Shu was also a little surprised. Jiang Ci seemed aloof and difficult to get close to, but after getting along with him for a long time, he found that he was actually a very careful person.

"Put it on the table."

"okay!"

The waiter walked to the table, opened the food box, and carefully placed the food on the table.

Two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, one soup, and a bowl of white rice.

Yan Shu only drank a bowl of white porridge and ate a piece of pancake in the morning, and now he was really hungry.

After the waiter left, she sat at the table, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating.

When Jiang Ci hurried back to Hongle Academy, Su Xiaotian came over with maid Hong'er.

"Mr. Jiang, the county magistrate is hosting a banquet for my father and the others at Feiyue Lake tonight. I heard that you are also included in the invitation. Does that mean you won't be going home tonight?"

Jiang Ci frowned and looked at the woman in front of him expressionlessly.

"What is Miss Su busy with on weekdays?"

Su Xiaotian felt happy. Is Jiang Ci starting to pay attention to her?

"On weekdays, I just read, draw, and make female celebrities, and occasionally make some food. I wonder what kind of pastries Mr. Jiang likes to eat? The sweet-scented osmanthus cake I make is pretty good. How about I make some for you to try someday?"

Jiang Ci smiled coldly.

"Miss Su is so busy, why does she still like to inquire about other people's business?"

Su Xiaotian:......

The joy that surged in my heart instantly turned into ice.

"I am not familiar with Miss Su. The snacks made by Miss Su should be given to a more suitable person."

This sentence was an obvious rejection. Jiang Ci stopped looking at her and left silently.

"He hates me so much?" Su Xiaotian looked hurt.

"Miss, I think Jiang Ci just doesn't know what is good and what is bad."

Su Xiaotian's delicate face was full of unwillingness.

"But I only like Jiang Ci in my heart. I want to win his person, and even more, I want to win his heart."

Hong'er's eyes flickered, and she whispered something into Su Xiaotian's ear.

Su Xiaotian's expression changed slightly: "If my father finds out, he will definitely not let me off lightly."

"Miss, my husband often praises Jiang Ci for his talent and says that he will definitely achieve great things in his career in the future. I see that he is no longer as sickly as before. If you marry him and wait until he reaches high school, then you will be Now that she is the wife of a Jinshi scholar, she might even be able to get a wife of the No. [-] scholar."

The balance in Su Xiaotian's heart gradually tilted. Yes, how many good-looking and knowledgeable young men like Jiang Ci are there in this small Chiyang County?

This opportunity is right in front of her, and she should seize it.

Beside a rockery

The maid in green skirt looked around furtively, made sure no one was around, and then got into the cracks between the rocks.

"what!"

As soon as the maid came in, a dark shadow held her wrist and pressed it against the wall.

Two hot lips covered her. After the maid opened her watery eyes and saw the man in front of her clearly, not only did she not panic, but she actively hooked her arms around the man's neck and pressed her soft body against his chest.

After some tenderness, the maid collapsed in the man's arms.

"Master Yan, when do you plan to marry me?"

Yan Peng held the maid's chin and lifted it gently, his eyes full of affection.

"Hong'er, give me another three years. When I become famous, I will be able to marry you with all my glory."

Hong'er's watery eyes were full of affection.

"I am already your son, and you must keep your word."

Yan Peng hugged Hong'er's slender waist tightly, lowered his head and kissed her gently on the lips.

"Holding my hand and growing old together, I will never let you down in this life!"

Hong'er felt like she was holding a jumping deer in her heart, and a wave of heat spread down her fair cheeks to her small earlobes.

She has actually been in love with Young Master Yan for a long time. Before, Young Master Yan only had eyes for young ladies. Since she was of a humble status, she never dared to ask him to take another look at her.

Until he took the initiative to confess his love to her a few days ago, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night.

"By the way, does your lady agree?"

Hong'er smiled and said, "Miss Jiang Ci's heart and eyes are full of that sick man. Of course she won't miss this opportunity."

Yan Peng raised his eyebrows proudly.

Jiang Ci, after tonight you will completely fall from the clouds into the quagmire. I wonder if you will still be proud in the future!

-

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the Feiyue Lake red, and a few rays of golden light shone through the clouds on the distant peaks, like a rich landscape oil painting.

Yan Shu stood in front of the window on the second floor, his eyes falling on several boats not far away.

Faintly seeing a familiar figure in the crowd, Yan Shu sighed in his heart, the boss is indeed the number one villain in this book. He is like the bright moon, even if he disappears into the dust, he can still become the most dazzling existence.

As if sensing something, Jiang Ci suddenly turned around as he stepped onto the boat and looked directly in the direction of Yan Shu.

The two were far apart, but Yan Shu still felt a strong sense of gaze.

"Brother Mubai!"

Liu Yunzhao shouted in this direction, and Jiang Ci looked away and walked straight into the boat.

"What were you looking at just now?" Liu Yunzhao came over curiously and asked.

"It's nothing."

"Let's go in quickly. The magistrate and several gentlemen are here."

"Ok!"

In the painting boat, the county magistrate Wang Qingzhou was sitting in the first place, and beside him were several concubines from Hongle Academy.

The students invited today are all relatively valued talents in the academy.

Among them, there were five junior students, and Jiang Ci and Liu Yunzhao were among these five, especially Jiang Ci, who was the head of the college examination case that year, and Wang Qingzhou had long wanted to know him.

During the banquet, other students stood up and toasted Wang Qingzhou, but Jiang Ci did not stand up to propose a toast.

Yan Peng saw this in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Brother Mu Bai, Mr. Wang entertains you so warmly today, we should stand up and offer him a glass of wine."

Jiang Ci raised his eyelids and glanced at Yan Peng.

"Do you think Mr. Wang invited us here just for drinking and having fun?"

The smile on Yan Peng's lips froze slightly, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.

"Master Wang is an honest official. He invited us today just to encourage us."

"Since Brother Lanzhi understands Lord Wang's intentions, he shouldn't persuade people to drink. I'm too drunk. I'm afraid I'll get drunk and miss Lord Wang's teachings. Wouldn't that be a pity?"

Yan Peng stared at him with a gloomy face: "I didn't think well, please forgive me, brother Mu Bai."

Jiang Ci curled his lips, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

He slowly stood up with a cup of tea and faced Wang Qingzhou.

"Sir Wang, the student is not feeling well, so I have to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine today."

Wang Qingzhou smiled and picked up the tea cup: "Jiang Xiucai always disciplines himself. I am very pleased. If Jiang Xiucai enters an official career in the future, if you need my help, just ask."

As soon as these words came out, other students present cast envious glances.

Wang Qingzhou's intention was clear that he wanted to get acquainted, and there was even a hint of flattery.

Yan Peng felt like he had been slapped in the face at this moment, and his cheeks were burning with pain.

At this time, a pretty figure opened the door and walked in.

"Dad, my daughter has brought some fruit wine, and she would like to invite Uncle Wang and everyone to have a try."
