Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

The three of them followed the waiter to the private room upstairs. Outside the door, they heard laughter and chatter coming from inside. There were several people there.

The clerk knocked on the door and said, "Sir, the guest you are waiting for has arrived."

The conversation in the private room suddenly stopped, followed by Yan Chao's urgent voice, "Please come quickly."

The guy opened the door and invited them in.

Cui Qiyan took a quick look and saw that seven or eight people, including Yan Chao, all stood up.

"Master Nie is here, please take a seat." Yan Chao motioned to the empty seat on his left.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long." Cui Qiyan sat down under the probing eyes of everyone.

Ji Bai and Yunling stood behind him.

Cui Qiyan glanced around and chuckled: "I didn't expect Master Yan to invite so many people."

"These are all colleagues from Yuzhou. When they learned that Lord Nie came from afar, they all wanted to come and pay a visit. Yan took it upon himself to bring them along. Don't be offended by Lord Nie." Yan Chao explained.

"How come? We all have to do things together during this period, so it's a good thing to get to know each other in advance."

Yan Chao said to the people present: "Master Nie doesn't need to be introduced by me. You can offer Master Nie a glass of wine and let him get to know you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person sitting next to Cui Qiyan stood up with a wine glass in his hand and said, "Xiaguanyu Zhouzhou and Liu Zhengping have met Mr. Nie."

"Mr. Liu, nice to meet you." Cui Qiyan responded.

Then came the next person, and after going around in a circle, everyone was introduced, and Cui Qiyan also drank a lot.

Finally, it was the turn of a young man sitting on the other side of Yan Chao. He looked like he was in his twenties and still sat in such an important position, but he didn't look like he had a high official position.

While Cui Qiyan was thinking calmly,

I saw the young man getting up from the chair and said, "I'm Yan Xiangwen, I never thought that Mr. Du Shi is about the same age as me."

Your surname is Yan? Could it be related to Yan Chao?

Yan Chao spoke at this moment, confirming Cui Qiyan's guess.

"I brought you here today so that you can learn more from Lord Nie. Don't be idle all day long and not want to make progress." He pointed at Yan Xiangwen and said to Cui Qiyan, "This is a dog, making Lord Nie laugh."

"It turns out he is Master Yan's son. He is truly a talented person." Cui Qiyan said politely.

"That's too much praise. Quanzi is far inferior to Master Nie."

Liu Zhengping said with a smile: "I want to tell you that Mr. Nie and the eldest son have their own merits. Although the eldest son has not entered an official career, he has made great achievements in business. Look at the Ruyi Building that he has built with great success. If it weren't for Mr. Yan, It’s not easy to book the private room we’re in.”

Yan Xiangwen sat down and said, "My father named me Xiangwen in the hope that I would be able to get a good name in the future and honor my ancestors. Unfortunately, I am not good at studying. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to pass the imperial examination and become an official. In order to find something to do for myself, I decided to go with him." I opened this restaurant as a partnership, so it’s just so-so, otherwise my father wouldn’t have said I was idle all day long.”

"Whenever Uncle Liu wants to use the private room, just tell me and I will make arrangements for you."

"Then I'm welcome," Liu Zhengping's smile deepened, "Master Yan said these words because he has high expectations for the eldest son."

Several Yuzhou officials nodded in agreement.

Yan Chao waved his hand and said, "Everything is low-grade, only education is good. No matter how good your business is, it's not top-notch, and it's not worth mentioning."

Cui Qiyan showed a bit of drunkenness, "Master Yan, what you said is wrong."

, no matter where the hero comes from, even if his business becomes bigger, he can still benefit the people of one place. The key lies in the hearts of the people. Mr. Yan is good at this and is also a rare talent. "

After listening to his words, Yan Xiangwen's eyes were bright, as if he had met a close friend.

"Master Nie is worthy of being from the capital. His vision and ideas are unique. With your words, I am sure to have you as my friend!"

"Don't treat Mr. Nie like you are in the market. I have official duties, so I don't have time to mess around with you." Yan Chao scolded.

"Oh, Mr. Yan is serious. Even if I have official duties, it will not prevent me from making friends with Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan has a bad temper towards me."

This is Cui Qiyan's first harvest tonight. Yan Xiangwen is the son of Yan Chao and is not in official circles. Maybe he can get something useful from him.

Yan Xiangwen laughed loudly: "Master Nie and I hit it off right away. From now on, you will always remember me when you come to Ruyi House. I will toast you again."

Cui Qiyan toasted with him, "Then I'll thank Mr. Yan first."

Yan Chao didn't expect the two of them to chat so well. No matter what, with Lao Ding in the house and Xiang Wen outside, Nie Dushi's every move is under his control.

He picked up his chopsticks and said, "Come on, don't worry about drinking, the food is getting cold."

"Yes, Mr. Nie, try this steamed fish, our signature dish, which was just brought from the river in the afternoon." Yan Xiangwen enthusiastically recommended.

Cui Qiyan took a bite of it obediently and said, "Well, it's really delicious."

As soon as he moved, others also moved their chopsticks, and the table became lively.

Yunling stood aside and was lost in thought. She felt that this kind of occasion was really boring, but she was allowed to meet Cui Qi.

The other side of Yan. It turns out that he can also dance well, which is completely different from his usual self.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone at the table looked drunk and spoke casually.

Yan Xiangwen's blurred eyes glanced at Yun Ling from time to time, and he asked with a big tongue: "Are the two people at the back serving Master Nie?"

The corners of Cui Qiyan's lips curved upward, "Yes, I couldn't bring more with me when I was out, so I brought them both here."

"Oh, I hear what Master Nie means. There are a lot of people serving you on weekdays. Is it possible that every maid is as beautiful as the one behind you?" Yan Xiangwen said playfully.

Yunling noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, and her face suddenly turned ugly. At this moment, she felt like an item on display in a window, ready for anyone to pick and comment on. She clenched her hands, her long nails pricking her palms.

The culprit who put her in this situation said slowly: "She's just an ordinary maid."

Yan Xiangwen was speechless. Is such a color just ordinary in his eyes? I wonder how beautiful the other maids he left in the capital are.

"I am short-sighted. The beauty behind Master Nie is a rare beauty in our Yuzhou." Yan Xiangwen reminded meaningfully, "Master Nie, please ask your maid to be careful. If she is People are following..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Chao interrupted, "I'm sorry that no matter how audacious the thief is, he wouldn't dare to bring his idea to Master Nie."

"It's hard to say..." Yan Xiangwen raised his head and looked at Yun Ling. He was sure that the flower picker would be itchy to see such a beautiful girl.

From their words, Yunling had already heard something

Something unusual, and the next person's words directly caused the blood to fade from her face.
