My husband is a sick cat

It was also a coincidence that Lu Feng had just sat down and had not had time to continue speaking when the waiter came in with a few people. He saw Lu Feng, who had just arrived and was sitting at the bottom. He was stunned for a moment, and it was Lu Feng's servant who smiled and spoke to him before the waiter returned to normal.

"You, waiter, why are you still looking at people stupidly?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there's suddenly one more person."

The waiter smiled and joked, then directed people to serve the food to everyone. When serving the food, he stood at the table where Tang Ying and the others were, announcing the names of the dishes and introducing them, which livened up the somewhat stiff atmosphere.

Except for Tang Ying who happened to see the waiter's expression before, no one else noticed it. However, everyone saw the waiter's appearance when he just came in, and coupled with Lu Feng's rich outfit, everyone had different thoughts.

If we were to say who is the most mysterious among this group of people, it would naturally be Lu Feng. Except for Tang Ying who moved to Lin'an City for study, the others are either from Lin'an City or from the same province. Only Lu Feng came from the capital.

At the beginning, Lu Feng introduced himself as coming from a merchant family in the capital, and his family business was quite extensive, but he didn't say much else.

Zhang Hai's family is in business, and they are the richest people in the provincial capital, so they have some understanding of people who do business. They once said privately that there is no family with the surname Lu among those famous merchants.

But no one was interested in asking questions, and after listening to Zhang Hai, no one asked Lu Feng. However, Lu Feng seemed to be generous with his money, but he didn't pay much attention to his clothes, and his words and actions seemed rough.

Only Qin Tong had discussed Lu Feng's background with Tang Ying in private. He didn't believe that his uncle would pay so much attention to the son of a merchant family, so he still insisted on his point of view that this man definitely came from a military family.

After all, there really was a general named Lu in the court, who was a third-rank official. However, he was guarding the border all year round and was not in the capital. There was only one family, old and young, living in the general's mansion in the capital.

Tang Ying just smiled at Qin Tong's speculations and asked him if he would consider someone's background before making friends with them. Qin Tong was stunned for a long while and never mentioned these things again.

Actually, this group of people didn't get along very well at the beginning and there were always some troubles. It was Tang Ying who mediated and helped everyone find a way to get along. In addition, later on, they discovered that their aspirations were surprisingly similar, so they became friends and formed a small group.

Seeing Lu Feng's sudden change at this time, everyone was really unable to react for a while. After all, Lu Feng's outfit was not something that someone from a merchant family could wear. It must be something only an official family could wear.

Fortunately, the waiter's interruption gave everyone time to adjust their mindset, and when the waiter finished his introduction and left, everyone returned to normal.

"Lv Feng, not only did you come late, but you also tried to eat for free. You have to drink a penalty."

Zhang Jun was the one who was best at livening up the atmosphere among the group. He immediately picked up his wine glass and spoke directly to Lu Feng.

Fu'an, the servant standing behind Lu Feng, twitched his face slightly, but said nothing and stepped forward to help Lu Feng pour wine.

Seeing that everyone had returned to normal, Lu Feng felt much more relaxed. When Fu An was pouring wine, he agreed generously: "Okay, I'll drink three cups as punishment."

After that, Fu An also poured the wine. Lu Feng gestured to Fu An to go to the table where Shu Tong and others were sitting: "You can go there and eat and drink with them. I don't need anyone to wait on me."

Fu An nodded slightly and went to the table where Tang Qing and others were sitting. He followed Lu Feng out this time only because he was arranged by his eldest young master to serve and take care of him in order to prevent the host from being out of tune again.

As soon as Fu'an left, Lu Feng picked up the wine glass swiftly and drank it in one gulp. When he was about to pour more wine, Zhang Jun stopped him.

"No, no, I was wrong. Drinking a glass of wine is a punishment for others, but it may be a reward for you. Let me change my method. Tang Ying, how do you think we should punish him?"

Among the few people, Lu Feng has the best alcohol tolerance, and he really likes to drink, so Zhang Hai said that and finally pushed the problem to Tang Ying.

Tang Ying chuckled: "Then let him write a poem as punishment?"

When these words were spoken, everyone cheered, but Lu Feng's face turned bitter. Although he was well-educated, he just couldn't compose poetry. Even if he could, his works were half-baked and he was always laughed at.

"No, no, no, if you ask me to write a poem, I would rather compete with my sister-in-law."

Everyone knew that Lu Jian knew martial arts when they saw her teaching Lu Yao one day. Among them, only Lu Feng knew martial arts and had challenged Lu Jian to compete with her several times, but he never won.

Hearing him say this, everyone burst into laughter and started talking at once. Gradually, the atmosphere became more and more lively, and finally the topic slowly turned to the scientific expedition.

Lu Jian and others did not drink and finished their meal early. Zhou and Lu Hu felt tired, so they said goodbye to everyone and went to rest. Lu Jian and Lu Yao were in very good spirits. Seeing that Tang Ying and the others would not finish for a while, they decided to go out for a stroll.

"Husband, I want to go out with A Yao."

As soon as Lu Jian spoke, everyone stopped talking. Before Tang Ying spoke, Lu Feng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if you want to go, go ahead. The night in the capital is quite lively. Just come back before curfew. You can let Fu'an lead the way for you."

Tang Ying hadn't intended to detain Lu Jian in the first place, but she felt more relieved after hearing what Lu Feng said. She took out her purse and handed it to Lu Jian: "Go ahead, take Wen Xiang with you, and buy whatever you like, but don't eat too many sweets."

"know."

Don't eat too many sweets. This has almost become Tang Ying's catchphrase to Lu Jian, but she always responds well and never gets impatient. After all, Tang Ying cares about her.

After taking the silver and money, Lu Jian took Lu Yao, Wen Xiang and Fu An and left the inn together, leaving Tang Ying and others to continue discussing the imperial examination.

Wenxiang was a fourteen-year-old girl. After Tang Ying bought her, she arranged for her to follow Lu Jian as a maid. As for Wenxiang, she helped Lu Jian pack up and manage things.

Originally, Tang Ying wanted both of them to follow Lu Jian, but Lu Jian didn't like too many people around him, so the two maids left one in the room and took the other out, and occasionally changed people.

After Fu An led the three people out of the inn, he asked Lu Jian with a smile: "Where does Madam Tang want to go?"

This was the first time that Lu Jian was called Madam. Normally, her family members called her by her name, Tang Ying occasionally called her Madam, and outsiders called her Madam or Madam Lu.

"This is my first time in the capital, just show us around."
