My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Chapter 113 Banquet

In the courtyard, Fu Shiyan and Shen Nanxing stood opposite each other. Shen Nanxing took his stance and took the lead. He was agile, his fists and palms were like the wind, and his offensive was fierce. Fu Shiyan responded calmly, with steady steps, exquisite moves, and tight defense.

After several moves, Shen Nanxing gradually increased his strength, trying to find the opponent's flaws.

However, Fu Shiyan remained calm and resolved his attacks one by one.

Shen Nanting watched Fu Shiyan's moves and said, "Nanxing's martial arts are among the best in the martial arts field, and Fu Shiyan's martial arts are not inferior to Nanxing at all."

Bai Wei, who was standing by, looked up at her husband in surprise and said, "I seem to have seen his moves somewhere before."

After thinking for a while, she grabbed her husband's arm with bright eyes and said, "It's Brother Fu. I learned martial arts from Brother Fu in the frontier before. No wonder his moves seem so familiar to me."

Shen Nanting patted his wife's hand, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "You are already a mother, be careful and don't be so excited."

After hearing what her husband said, Bai Wei calmed herself down, smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Fu Shiyan seized a flaw in Shen Nanxing's hand and instantly attacked, punching him in the shoulder. Shen Nanxing took a few steps back and conceded defeat.

"Thank you." Fu Shiyan said with a fist.

"Brother Fu is very skilled. I admire you!" Shen Nanxing praised sincerely.

The competition ended in a friendly atmosphere.

Huaying, who was hiding behind the screen, saw Fu Shiyan's performance and felt even more admiration for him.

Mother Shen and Father Shen smiled at each other and said to Nan Xing and Fu Shiyan, "Hurry up and put on your cloaks. Lunch is ready. Let's go to the dining pavilion and eat together."

Then he turned back to the maid and said, "Go to Molan Pavilion and ask the young lady to come over."

The maid bowed and took her leave. After hearing this, Huaying took Qinghe and quietly left the hall, taking a shortcut back to Molan Pavilion.

Along the way, Qing He said in surprise, "Miss, it turns out that the owner of Zui Jiang Yue in Taohua Town is the legendary Erlang of the Fu family."

Huaying hummed lightly and walked quickly to the second floor. Looking at the maid who had just walked to the door of Molan Pavilion and delivered the message, Huaying breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in front of the mirror to look at her clothes. Qinghe picked up the comb and carefully re-combed the young lady's hair.

Soon, the maids from Chunhua Court, led by Qingzhu, came over and saluted, saying, "Miss, Madam is calling you back to the dining pavilion for lunch."

Huaying smiled and looked at the maid in the mirror and said, "I understand. Tell mother that I will be there soon." The maid bowed and left.

Qinghe put a warm white cloak on the young lady, and brought a pink hand warmer and placed it in Huaying's hand. Then the master and servant went downstairs and walked towards Chunhuayuan again.

When they reached the dining pavilion, Huaying saw her parents having a pleasant conversation with Fu Shiyan.

He walked silently to his parents and called softly, "Father, Mother." Then he bowed to the two elders.

When the mother saw Huaying was dressed appropriately, a satisfied smile appeared on her face and she motioned for Huaying to sit down.

The second brother leaned over and whispered in Huaying's ear, "In today's competition, I found that this guy's martial arts skills are better than mine, and his wisdom is no less than that of my eldest brother. We haven't found out what his chronic illness is yet, and he is currently studying in the best academy in the capital.

And don't be so impulsive as to trust him completely. He was able to escape from the fire unscathed, so he is definitely not an ordinary person."

Huaying nodded and responded, "Thank you, second brother. I understand."

At this time, Father Shen stood up, bowed to Fu Shiyan, and said sincerely: "I would like to thank my nephew again for saving my daughter Huaying."

Seeing this, Fu Shiyan quickly stood up and returned the gift, saying earnestly: "Uncle, please don't thank me again. When I rescued the young lady, I didn't know that she was the daughter of the prime minister's family, and I made her suffer for a long time. I am really ashamed. If I thank you again, it will make me feel ashamed."

Father Shen smiled and waved his hand at him, asking him to take a seat. "Ning'er has grown a lot after this ordeal. Now that you have all arrived in Beijing safely, you are blessed."

As soon as Mr. Shen finished speaking, the nanny went to tell the lady that the meal was ready.

The dishes were served one after another and everyone ate and chatted.

Shen Nanxing asked Fu Shiyan curiously, "How do the dishes at your Zui Jiang Yue taste? Hey, I heard Zui Jiang Yue is not small. How did you start it when you had no money back then?"

Everyone on the side also looked at Fu Shiyan, who glanced at Huaying with a faint smile on his face. "When I first came to Taohua Town, I opened a medicine shop to make a living. Later, thanks to Miss Shen, I started some small businesses. That's how I got Zui Jiang Yue. Next time you're free, you can go and taste it together."

Fu Shiyan's answer was quite conventional and he concealed the matter of saltpeter.

The eldest brother Shen Nanting, who was standing nearby, recalled the scene when he first saw his younger sister selling cold noodles in Taohua Town. He wanted to say something to her, but when he saw the look in his younger sister's eyes when she was looking at Fu Shiyan, he swallowed the words back.

Father Shen praised Fu Shiyan for managing Zui Jiang Yue so well at such a young age, and encouraged him to work harder in his studies.

Fu Shiyan humbly agreed to all of them.

Lunch ended in a pleasant atmosphere. No one ate much. Seeing that it was almost time, Fu Shiyan stood up and said goodbye.
