My husband is a sick cat

In the evening, everyone decided to order three tables of food from the inn to eat in the courtyard of the small yard. After all, there were many people in the lobby outside, so there was no need for them to occupy tables and chairs, and they would feel more comfortable here by themselves.

As for cooking for themselves, no one was in the mood for that. Although there was a cook, Wang, everyone was very tired after the long journey, so there was no need to bother the cook.

Tang Ying asked the waiter to bring three tables and set them up in the courtyard. Tang Ying and his friends sat at one table, Lu Jian, Zhou and the Lu family sat at another table, and the rest of the people sat at another table.

After everything was arranged, Tang Ying called the waiter to ask what food was available in the restaurant. It was everyone's first time in Shengjing, and no one knew if the food here would be different from what they had there.

The waiter was still the same one who had received them in the morning. He came in and greeted everyone with a smile, then looked at Tang Ying. It was obvious that he also knew that Tang Ying was the leader of this group of people.

"Mr. Tang, do you want me to come here for any instructions?"

Tang Ying nodded, her expression calm.

"Tell us what food you have in your restaurant. We'll serve two tables and eat here."

The waiter immediately agreed with a smile and started to list the dishes.

"We have braised pork elbow, four-happiness roasted gluten, salt and pepper spareribs, braised pork, steamed fish, fried shrimp..."

He listed them all, talking endlessly, and added at the end: "These are just the signature dishes of our restaurant. There are many other delicious dishes waiting for customers to taste. Although our signature dishes look ordinary in name, it takes skill to turn these ordinary dishes into signature dishes."

"Okay! Then serve these signature dishes, and a few of your specialty dishes."

Tang Ying consulted with several other people before deciding on the dishes. The waiter agreed with a smile and left. After a short while, he brought fresh tea to everyone, replacing the slightly cold tea on the table, and also brought over a few plates of exquisite snacks.

"These are some of the snacks that are unique to our capital. You can try them first. I'll bring them to you when the food is ready."

Everyone naturally agreed. Although they had to clean up after their things were delivered, the waiter in the store still thoughtfully brought over a lot of things. The tea was delivered before, so the service was considered pretty good.

After the waiter left, Tang Ying asked everyone to share the snacks. There were not many snacks, only two or three pieces per person. Tang Ying directly gave all her snacks to Lu Jian. Everyone was used to such a scene.

After all, this group of people knew that Lu Jian liked sweets, so Tang Ying would occasionally invite Lu Jian to join them when they had dinner together. Most of the time, Lu Jian would not participate in their discussions, but would speak occasionally. Most of the time, he would just sit aside and eat snacks.

But even if Lu Jian only spoke occasionally, the one or two words he said could make everyone's eyes light up, because Lu Jian's way of thinking about things was different from theirs. Gradually, everyone got used to Lu Jian's presence at the party, and occasionally when Lu Jian didn't go, everyone would ask a thing or two.

Tang Ying doesn't like sweets, but Lu Jian likes sweet things. Everyone only found out about this at the party, so they have gotten used to it.

Lu Jian watched Tang Ying put his snacks on the small plate in front of him, and immediately smiled: "Thank you, husband."

Tang Ying just nodded slightly and didn't say much. There was actually no need for the two of them to thank each other, but Lu Jian had always spoken like that, and he was used to it.

Zhou was exhausted from the long journey. She was in good spirits when she first came to Beijing, but now she felt a little listless and had little appetite. Seeing that Lu Jian didn't seem to be affected, she handed her snacks to Lu Jian.

"If you like, these are for you too."

Lu Jian's eyes lit up and he reached out to take it, but it was taken by Tang Ying who had not yet returned to her seat.

"Just eat these. You still need to eat later. Don't eat too much sweets."

Although Tang Ying doted on Lu Jian and often couldn't help but bring her some sweet candies when she went out, she still wouldn't let her eat too much. Seeing Tang Ying taking the plate, Lu Jian didn't say much, and Zhou naturally didn't care.

Qin Tong and the others found it somewhat amusing. On weekdays, Tang Ying was always cold and arrogant, as if no one was worth his care. Only when facing Lu Jian or Zhou, would he show some worldly thoughts and more emotions.

None of these people have gotten married yet. It's not that they don't have suitable partners, but they are just not willing to do so. Even those who have been arranged by their families are postponing the marriage and insist on waiting until after the big exam before discussing it.

These people were talented, and they all passed the imperial examinations at a young age. Their families spoiled them, so they kept delaying their marriages. Only Tang Ying got married. Occasionally, after being forced to marry, everyone thought about getting married first, but they gave up in the end, thinking that their studies should come first.

As everyone was eating snacks and chatting, a young man came in from outside the yard, followed by a servant who looked like a boy.

The young man had a handsome face, and was dressed in a black brocade gown with intricate cloud patterns embroidered on it. The hem of his gown was trimmed with golden silk thread, and a faint golden light flashed when he moved. He had a gold-studded belt tied around his waist, and hanging on the belt was an extremely delicate brocade bag and an emerald green jade pendant that was obviously of excellent quality.

The whole person looked very wealthy at first glance, and everyone was stunned. If the man's face was not the familiar Lu Feng, they would have thought he was a nobleman who had walked into the wrong place.

The servant following behind him was a stranger that no one had ever seen before. He looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slightly round face and smiling eyes, which made people feel good about him at first sight. He was also a little plump.

Following behind Lu Feng, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, he was more than a head shorter than him, and looked like a child who had not grown up.

When Lu Feng came in, there was still an unhappy look on his face. However, when he looked up and saw that everyone sitting in the courtyard was looking at him, he suppressed his anger and greeted everyone with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I just came here now. The elders in my family don't want to let me go."

No one knew if they were shocked by his luxurious clothes, but no one said anything. Yu Ning even turned to look at Tang Ying. Tang Ying smiled and said calmly, "You've been away from home for more than a year. It's normal for the elders at home to miss you."

Lu Feng naturally saw the expressions of the crowd. He didn't care about Lu Jian and the others. What he cared about was the reactions of Tang Ying and her group. But at this glance, only Tang Ying could still maintain his normal expression.

"That's true," he responded with a smile, walked towards the table of Tang Ying and the others, picked an empty seat and sat down. The servant following behind him was slightly stunned when he saw this, but quickly restrained his expression as if he didn't see it.
