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

Dong Jialin led the girl and her maid to the teahouse and arranged a private room for them.

"Girl, you can see the storyteller below when you sit here." Dong Jialin pulled out a chair for her.

"Thank you, sir." The girl walked over and looked out the window without sitting down first.

The storyteller was telling the story in the storybook. The girl was slightly entranced. After a while, she turned around with a smile and said, "I have read this part."

"Indeed, the teahouse has just opened. What I'm talking about now is the content of the first book. The girl has already read it."

"But the feeling of watching and listening is still different. It's very interesting."

"As long as the girl likes it," Dong Jialin smiled with a rare hint of naivety, "Girl, sit down for a moment while I go get a pot of tea."

After Dong Jialin left, Qing He couldn't help but say: "Girl, you have only met him three times, and you don't even know his last name. Why are you here with him?"

"Qinghe, you can't always think the worst of people. I don't know his last name, but he doesn't know mine either? Compared to us, he has two stores, so he knows nothing about us. , based on this, he is more honest than us." The girl sat on the chair next to her.

Qing He thought for a while and said, "That's right. If he dares to be rude to the girl, I will tell the prince and let him teach him a lesson!"

"Don't cause trouble to eldest brother," the girl said sternly, "Now that we are living a good life in the mansion, we can still go out to see new things from time to time. If something happens, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave the mansion."

"My slave knows..."

As soon as Qing He finished speaking, Dong Jialin came in from outside with a pot of tea and a plate of snacks.

"This is the best black tea we have here. It has a rich aroma. Please try it, girl." Dong Jialin poured a cup of tea for the girl.

The girl took a sniff and said, "It really smells good. Thank you very much, sir."

Dong Jialin put down the teapot and said with a smile: "Girl, don't call me young master, I am just a businessman. Oh, by the way, my surname is Dong."

"Then I will call you Boss Dong from now on." The girl said softly.

"Oh, okay." Dong Jialin asked smoothly, "I wonder what I call the girl?"

The girl looked hesitant when she heard this. Dong Jialin saw this and said quickly: "I was the one who was rude. If it's not convenient for the girl to tell me, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

"Actually, it's nothing," the girl said frankly, "My surname is Jiang."

"Jiang...Miss Jiang," Dong Jialin murmured to himself.

The girl nodded with a smile, picked up the tea cup and drank tea.

Dong Jialin realized that it was not appropriate for him to stay any longer. "Miss Jiang, please take it easy. I'll go outside and take a look. If you need anything, just call someone."

"Boss Dong, go and get busy."

Dong Jialin came out of the private room, closed the door, and stood at the door for a while before going downstairs.

The nine-day examination was finally over.

Xu Yiwan, brother and sister Dong Jialin and Dong Jiafu came to the gate of Gongyuan early and waited.

As soon as the door opened, the candidates came out, all of them as if they had shed a layer of skin. Some saw their family members trying to cheer up and talk, while others looked lost.

"Why haven't your elder brother and Ji Yuan come out yet?" Xu Yiwan asked anxiously, holding Dong Jiafu's hand.

Dong Jiafu felt her palms were slightly wet, "Mom, don't worry, they should be at the back."

The three of them waited eagerly for a while. Dong Jialin was tall and pointed forward with sharp eyes, "They are coming out!"

"Where is it?" Xu Yiwan stood on tiptoe to look for it unconsciously.

"There -" Dong Jialin pointed again.

This time Xu Yiwan and Dong Jiafu both saw it.

Dong Jiabao and Feng Jiyuan walked towards them quickly.

Xu Yiwan saw them and asked eagerly: "Are you all okay after being in there for so many days?"

"Don't worry, mother, Huaiyun and I are fine." Dong Jiabao replied.

"That's good, that's good..." Xu Yiwan stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the weather has been kind and it hasn't rained in the past few days, otherwise you would have suffered in there."

At the end of the test, both of them were a little tired, but there were differences upon closer inspection. Dong Jiabao's expression was as usual, neither sad nor happy; Feng Jiyuan's eyes were somewhat lonely.

Dong Jiafu could see it, but considering that they had just experienced a big exam, they must be physically and mentally exhausted, and didn't know how to comfort them, so she didn't point it out, thinking that Feng Jiyuan might recover on his own in two days.

Dong Jialin didn't think so much. When he saw Feng Jiyuan's expression was wrong, he immediately asked: "Huaiyun, what's wrong with you? Did you not perform well?"

Feng Jiyuan showed a forced smile, "It feels a little unsatisfactory, but I tried my best..."

"Just do your best. The results will be announced in half a month. It's over. What else do you want to do?" Dong Jialin went up and hooked Feng Jiyuan's neck, "Let's go, you successfully passed the examination. It's worth celebrating no matter what. Let’s go drink—”

Xu Yiwan frowned in disapproval, "You just came out of Gongyuan, what are you drinking? Jiyuan must be tired. You ask him to go back and have a good rest. When can you drink wine?"

"That's right. Then go back to your residence first. I'll find you another day." Dong Jialin lowered his loosened arm.

After staying in that small space for nine consecutive days, Feng Jiyuan felt really uncomfortable, so he nodded and then bowed to Xu Yiwan.

"Auntie, the things you prepared for me are very useful. I will visit you another day to thank you."

Xu Yiwan looked at him worriedly, "It's all a trivial matter. You look haggard. Go back and rest."

Feng Jiyuan raised his eyes and looked at Dong Jiafu again.

When their eyes met, Dong Jiafu said warmly: "Although the general examination is important, it is not the final word. There are many opportunities later. Don't think too much and don't be burdened. And like the second brother said, still thinking about these is just a futile thing. It just adds to the worries.”

Feng Jiyuan nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry."

Afu didn't know that this interview was not only related to whether he could enter the officialdom, but more importantly, the plan in his heart. He didn't want to wait any longer, and he didn't want to wrong her.

"Mom, let's go home too." Dong Jiabao said.

"Okay, let's go together."

Several people turned and walked towards where the carriage was parked.

The crowd dispersed one after another. The gate of Gongyuan was not as crowded as when it first opened, and they walked much more smoothly on the road.

The carriages of the two families were in the same place, and Maofeng and Wu Tong were guarding them.

There was another one parked in front of their carriage, also here to pick up people.

There were also several people standing next to the carriage, and a young man was surrounded in the middle. Dong Jiafu looked at it from a distance, and felt that the back of a woman with her back turned slightly familiar.

As a group of them approached, they were very eye-catching. The man in the middle was the first to look over. Others turned around when they heard the footsteps.

Dong Jiafu saw clearly the woman who felt familiar to her.

The man also recognized her, "It's you——"
