Chapter 858 The Night is Sweeter
Yan Funing shuddered all over, as if an electric current was rushing through her limbs !
You shameless scoundrel, where did you learn these tricks?
-
After the morning court session, all the Hanlin scholars went to the Hanlin Academy.
On the way, Fu Ciyi sneezed.
Someone immediately asked, "Did Master Fu catch a cold?"
"No." Fu Ciyi waved his hand.
"Your Excellency is now the head of our Imperial Academy and the chief minister of the Cabinet. You must take care of your health."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone agreed.
"It's okay." Fu Ciyi said, "It's cold today, everyone please take care of yourselves."
All the Hanlin scholars agreed.
Soon, everyone arrived at the Hanlin Academy and each performed their duties.
It was almost lunch time when Fu Jiang arrived with a lunch box.
The food box was warmed with charcoal fire under it, and the fragrance wafted all the way to the office in the innermost part.
The Hanlins who smelled the aroma stretched their necks and asked one after another: "What's delicious? It smells so good!"
"If you want to eat, please go to Chengwenlou." Fu Jiang said with a smile, "This is what my young mistress made for you personally. You can only smell it."
After saying this, he hurried on.
Fu Ciyi dealt with official documents for the entire morning, and the feeling he felt last night would occasionally resurface on his fingertips.
It’s really not worthy.
This is a very serious problem.
At this time, Fu Jiang knocked on the door: "Sir, the young lady ordered her servants to bring the dishes."
Thinking of what he had just thought, Fu Ciyi's ears suddenly felt hot.
He cleared his throat: "Bring it in."
"Okay." Fu Jiang went in, put the food box on the side table, opened the lid and showed it to his son, "The food is still hot. Madam said that you should eat it while it's hot. You didn't sleep much last night, so you should eat something to replenish yourself."
After closing the lid of the food box, he said, "I will go get you some food right away."
Only two dishes were sent from home, and the meal had to be prepared in the dining hall of the Hanlin Academy.
"Okay." Fu Ciyi agreed.
Fu Jiang went out.
He passed by Yan Xinghe who was walking in slowly.
Hearing footsteps, Fu Ciyi turned around and said, "What do you want to talk to me about? Let's talk after dinner."
Yan Xinghe smiled and lowered his voice: "Today, your ears are a little red. I wanted to ask you after the morning court, but I didn't ask you in front of others because of courtesy. Now your ears are even redder. Hey, just tell me what bad things you did behind my sister's back last night?"
Fu Ciyi walked to the desk and leaned back on his chair leisurely: "I say, Second Yan, what bad things can I do?"
Yan Xinghe sneered: "Just pretend it's nothing, my sister cooked the food, I want to eat it."
"Is this the purpose?"
"That's right." Yan Xinghe admitted.
"Okay, go get your own food."
Yan Xinghe turned his head and said to the person outside the door: "Zhenxi, get some food."
Zhen Xi agreed and walked out quickly.
Suddenly, many people swarmed to the door like bees: "Master Fu, Master Yan can eat it, can we eat it too?"
Yan Xinghe shook his head: "Master Fu is my brother-in-law, you should find out clearly."
"We are all colleagues." Someone said shamelessly.
"Forget it." Fu Ciyi said.
Just when everyone thought they could eat together, Fu Ciyi said, "Fufeng Restaurant will reopen at the end of the year. I'll invite everyone to have a good meal in the private room on the third floor."
Fufeng Restaurant has the first, second and third floors. The higher the floor, the better and more expensive the dishes. Everyone happily agreed.
After the meal, Yan Xinghe said, "Dad and Mom miss Fu Ning. You and your wife should come back tonight. If possible, stay for a few days. Previously, we said that we would stay for 20 days a month, but we never did."
Fu Ciyi replied with shame: "You should go."
-
When he returned home after work in the evening, Fu Ciyi took Yan Funing to Yan's house.
In the car, Yan Funing was confused: "Why do you suddenly want to accompany me back?"
She didn't even mention it herself.
Fu Ciyi said: "Your second brother said that your parents miss you."
Yan Funing took his arm and said, "I see. Thank you for accompanying me back."
"It's not hard, the day is sweet, and the night is sweeter."
Very hopeful.
He grabbed the little hand that was on his arm and interlocked his fingers with hers.
Yan Funing suddenly realized what he meant, lowered her eyes and blushed.
The man lifted her chin and stared at her. He saw the new hairpin on her head and asked, "Do you like it?"
"Yeah, I like it." She nodded.
Now he had a new and deeper understanding of the word "delicate". His heart ached and he felt pity for her. He kissed the back of her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "We are at the Yan family..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Funing covered his mouth and said, "Don't say it."
"Okay, don't tell me."
When the carriage stopped outside the Duke's Mansion, a carriage also stopped on the opposite side.
The couple saw a woman being helped down from the carriage by a midwife.
This woman was none other than Yan Yan'er.
Her belly was slightly bulging. She held her lower back with one hand and gently stroked her belly with the other. She looked at them with a smile, "I'm back. The Second Madam told me to come back to take care of the baby."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the Yan family.
This matter is not convenient to discuss in front of the mansion gate, nor in the front yard.
Yan Funing and Fu Ciyi entered Nanyuan in silence.
It was getting late, so the couple went straight to Nanyuan Restaurant.
Yan Cheng, Hong Qingyi, the three Yan brothers, and Zeng Kerou were already waiting for them.
"Mom and Dad, my husband and I just ran into Yan Yan'er at the door. She said that Second Aunt asked her to come back to take care of the pregnancy." Yan Funing spoke as soon as she sat down.
Hong Qingyi sighed: "There is a reason why I mention this."
Yan Honghou squeezed his wife's hand, signaling her not to be sad.
Zeng Kerou said sadly, "It's all my fault. The court doctor said I was pregnant with a girl. Second Aunt took the court doctor to the farm and felt Yan Yan'er's pulse. The doctor said she was pregnant with a boy. After hearing this, the second branch hoped that they could have the eldest grandson of the Yan family, so they got the permission of my step-grandmother to bring him back."
"It was such a coincidence that Ci Yi and Fu Ning ran into her when they came back." Hong Qingyi sighed, "Let's not talk about this, let's eat quickly."
Yan Bojian snorted, "So what if the second branch has a grandson? He's not our legitimate child. Don't be sad, sister-in-law. At least the legitimate granddaughter came from your belly. In the future, brother and sister-in-law will have more children. We are not afraid."
Yan Xinghe also advised: "Yes, what the unruly Third Brother said is right, don't take it to heart, Sister-in-law."
Hong Qingyi was already angry with the second wife, and now she became even angrier after hearing what her two sons said.
"You two are so shameless. If you two could get married earlier, would your eldest brother and sister-in-law be under so much pressure?" She pointed at their noses. "If you were more motivated, you wouldn't be beaten to the first place by the second branch. Your father and I would have a lot of grandchildren by now."
Hearing this, Yan Xinghe and Yan Bojian both shut up.
Fu Ciyi advised gently: "Don't be angry, mother-in-law."
"Yes, don't be angry, let's eat." Yan Cheng picked up some food for his wife, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, we won't force it."
Yan Funing quietly took Zeng Kerou's pulse and quickly said with a smile: "In fact, although taking the pulse to determine whether the fetus is a boy or a girl has a certain degree of accuracy, it cannot be 100% guaranteed. I think that the baby in my sister-in-law's belly is a boy. Of course, everything will be determined after the birth."
