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

After Qin Fangsui chose her clothes and paid the money, the three of them walked out of the clothing store.

Qin Fangsui glanced at the cloth tiger in Dong Jiafu's hand and said, "I didn't expect Miss Dong to be so childish and like this kind of childish thing."

Dong Jiafu brought the cloth tiger in front of her and said, "I really like it."

"This is what I gave her," Du Manting took out the storybook, "and she also gave me a storybook."

Qin Fangsui looked at the things in the two people's hands and felt very uncomfortable. Has their relationship reached the point where they have to give each other gifts?

The three of them walked a little further and saw that the things on the stalls were all pretty much the same. Du Manting gradually lost interest and suggested, "It's rare that we're out together, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk for a while?"

"I heard that there's a nice teahouse on Dongsi Street not far from here. Why don't we go there?" Qin Fangsui said.

Du Manting couldn't help but frowned, "Even you know that teahouse?"

Qin Fangsui was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"That teahouse is no good. It's a complete copy of Mingxin Teahouse, but they didn't even learn it well. It looks weird." Du Manting's face was full of disgust.

Qin Fangsui was slightly embarrassed. "Really? I just heard about it, I've never been there."

"Since you want to drink tea, let's go to Mingxin Teahouse." Du Manting said.

"I'm fine with either," Qin Fangsui looked at Dong Jiafu, "What do you think, Miss Dong?"

Without waiting for Dong Jiafu to answer, Du Manting said, "She will definitely have no objection. That is their family's teahouse. The money should be earned by their own people. It can't be cheapened by the Mingxiang Teahouse. Let's go to Mingxin Teahouse."

The restaurant was almost done decorating, and as the teahouse's business had been picking up recently, Dong Jialin was busy greeting some regular customers in the teahouse.

The three of them came to the teahouse and saw that it was full of people. Du Manting nodded and said, "Business here is still good. It turns out that everyone knows what's good."

Dong Jiafu couldn't help laughing, and when she turned around, she found that Qin Fangsui's face didn't seem to be very good.

At this time, Dong Jialin came down from upstairs. He was happy at first when he saw Dong Jiafu, but then he stopped in his tracks when he saw the two people beside her.

How could Afu be with them? Du Manting was fine, but he didn't want to welcome Qin Fangsui.

"Hey, your second brother is here too." Du Manting pointed at Dong Jialin on the stairs and said to Dong Jiafu.

Dong Jialin put on a smiling face again and said, "Afu, you're here."

"To thank you for saving a copy of The Legend of Sword and Fairy for me, I invited them to come here for tea today." Du Manting said.

"You guys came with Afu, so how can Miss Du spend money? I'll buy tea and snacks for Afu today."

"That won't do," Du Manting refused, "We agreed to treat you, if you continue like this I will go to Mingxiang Teahouse."

When Dong Jialin heard the words "Mingxiang Teahouse", the corner of his mouth twitched and he leaned sideways and said, "Please come in."

Du Manting was immediately amused, "It seems that you can't stand Mingxiang Teahouse."

"Miss Du, since you know it, please don't say anything more. I feel sick." Dong Jialin said quietly.

Dong Jiafu spoke at the right time: "Second brother, are there any private rooms?"

"Yes, I'll take you up there."

Dong Jialin led them into a private room and came out after they ordered their food.

Du Manting is also a regular customer here. She feels very comfortable after coming here. She looks downstairs and sighs: "It's more comfortable here. It's not like that teahouse, which is messy and has all kinds of people."

"Isn't it good to open a business and accommodate all kinds of people?" Qin Fangsui said with a smile.

"This is a teahouse, not a restaurant. It is for people who like to drink tea or want to find a quiet place to talk. Of course, not everyone can come here." Du Manting retorted.

"As long as the visitor can afford the tea money and enters the store, do we really have to kick him out?"

Du Manting twisted her heroic eyebrows together and asked in confusion: "Fang Sui, why do you always speak for Mingxiang Teahouse?"

"No, I'm just speaking based on facts. I don't mean to speak for anyone. Don't think too much about it." Qin Fangsui explained.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and two waiters came over with tea and snacks.

Du Manting looked at the table full of dim sum and said, "I don't think I ordered so much. Was it the wrong order?"

One of the waiters said, "No mistake. This is what the boss specifically ordered. It's for the three girls. Enjoy your meal."

The two guys left the room.

Du Manting greeted happily, "Since it's a gift for us, let's eat it quickly. I'm a little hungry after walking around for most of the day."

Dong Jiafu chuckled and picked up a piece of lotus cake to eat.

The three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, to be exact, Dong Jiafu and Du Manting, while Qin Fangsui didn't eat much, and went downstairs.

After leaving the teahouse, Du Manting said with satisfaction: "I am very happy to have you two accompany me today, so let's go back separately?"

Dong Jiafu said: "I will wait for my second brother to come together, you guys go first, be careful on the road."

"Okay." Du Manting waved at her and turned to leave.

Qin Fangsui just nodded and walked in another direction.

Dong Jialin came to Dong Jiafu's side and asked, "Why are you still associating with that Miss Qin?"

Dong Jiafu retracted her gaze, "I can't help it, I just ran into her. I was supposed to go to Miss Du's appointment, they are good friends, I can't say anything."

"Miss Du is a bit fierce, but she is also a straightforward person. She doesn't have bad intentions, so she is worth making friends with. Miss Qin appears to be gentle and dignified, but in fact she is scheming. It is better to have less contact with such a person."

"Don't worry, second brother. I know. I don't want to have any contact with her. We just get together unintentionally like today, so I just deal with it superficially. She should be the same to me."

During the whole process, Dong Jiafu and Qin Fangsui didn't say much. If Du Manting didn't speak, the whole atmosphere would become cold.

"Afu is getting more and more mature in handling things now. When you marry into the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, my parents, my elder brother and I can rest assured."

"Brother, are you done with your work? Let's go home together." Dong Jiafu asked.

"Wait a moment, I'll go in and say hello to some people I know." Dong Jialin hurried back inside.

New Year’s Eve soon arrived, and every household hung up red lanterns and celebrated with the whole family.

Dong Jiafu and her family also sat together to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Xu Yiwan looked at the empty seat at the table and said, "Jiabai can't celebrate the New Year with us this year. I don't know how he will celebrate the New Year in Suzhou?"

"Don't worry about him. Young people like them are having fun outside," Dong Jingtang advised.

"Now that my eldest brother knows that mother has recovered from her illness, he will feel at ease over there. Although he cannot celebrate the New Year with us, he must be thinking of us at this time. This way, our family's hearts are together." Dong Jiafu followed.

Xu Yiwan nodded, "Yes, our family's hearts will always be together."

Dong Jialin stood up with his glass in hand and said, "I, your son, wish you good health and a long life."

Dong Jiafu also stood up and said, "Afu wishes father and mother good health and happiness, and may they always be smiling."

"Okay, okay, you are all our good children." Xu Yiwan said happily.

The four of them drank together.

After Dong Jialin and Dong Jiafu sat down, Xu Yiwan looked at them and said, "Next year, our family will have a wedding. Jialin will get married and Afu will also get married. At this time next year, Afu will not be able to celebrate the New Year with us."

"After I get married, I will go home more often. By then, my mother will have a second sister-in-law by her side. I hope she doesn't think I'm annoying." Dong Jiafu joked.

Xu Yiwan smiled, "Even if you come back every day, mother won't find it annoying. I'm just afraid that my son-in-law will come to me and ask for me."

The whole family laughed out loud.
