Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

In the original novel, Gu Qianfan is a very cunning and ambitious person.

Except for his close female confidantes, everyone else around him has been used by him to some extent.

The people he makes friends with will become high-ranking officials in the future, the kind that can help him rise quickly in his official career.

Song Yan has always disliked such scheming people, feeling that they are too eager for quick success.

Song Zhengdu replied: "I understand, brother. I will keep my distance from him."

"How have you been doing in the county these days while I've been away? Is everything else okay?" Song Yan asked with concern.

Song Zhengdu wanted to shake his head, but then he remembered that a few days ago, on his way to the examination hall, he was stopped by a group of hooligans and was almost robbed.

After thinking about it, I decided to tell the truth.

After hearing this, Song Yan frowned and said, "You are a candidate, how dare they be so bold! Are you hurt?"

Song Zhengdu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'm not injured."

"The guards of the young master who had come to our house before passed by and lent a helping hand in time. They also captured those hooligans and sent them to the government." Song Zhengdu continued.

Song Yan quickly realized that the person Song Zhengdu was talking about was Brother Luo.

"Then I'll thank him later."

It’s a pity that Lin Yifeng went back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year and hasn’t come back yet.

Otherwise, you could ask him what's going on with those hooligans?

As he was speaking, the carriage slowly stopped.

Song Yan and the other two got off the carriage. In front of them was a quiet house with green tiles and white walls. It looked particularly peaceful in the twilight.

"Where is this?" Song Zhengdu couldn't help but ask. Aren't they going back to the Thanos Gang?

"This is where your fourth brother Shu stayed." Song Yan explained vaguely, "Let's go in first."

Song Zhengdu looked up at the house. Although he was confused, he did not ask any questions and followed Song Yan and Shu Changyu into the yard.

As soon as you enter the yard, you can feel a peaceful atmosphere.

The bluestone-paved path winds forward, with flowers, plants and trees scattered on both sides, appearing particularly quiet and peaceful under the cover of twilight.

Song Zhengdu walked while observing the surrounding environment, secretly guessing Shu Changyu's identity in his heart.

The three of them came to the main hall, and Shu Changyu ordered the servants to prepare tea and snacks.

Song Yan sat down familiarly, as if she was accustomed to everything here.

Shu Changyu sat down next to him, with his left hand on the armrest. He seemed to touch the back of Song Yan's hand accidentally, but Song Yan raised his hand and slapped it away.

Song Yan glared at him: What are you doing? ! Erlin is still here.

Shu Changyu raised an eyebrow: We're already engaged, and we're not even allowed to touch hands?

Song Yan then remembered that he and Shu Changyu were already engaged, but he had not told Erlin about it.

Why don’t we find a time to have a formal talk with Erlin.

Song Zhengdu noticed the exchange of glances between the two and began to feel confused.

The tea and snacks were served quickly. The exquisite pastries were placed on porcelain plates, looking particularly tempting.

Song Yan picked up a piece, took a bite, and praised: "This mung bean cake is well made. Erlin, you should try some too, to fill your stomach first."

Song Zhengdu followed instructions and picked up a piece of mung bean cake to taste. It was delicate and sweet in the mouth and indeed delicious.

They were eating snacks and chatting.

After a while, the servant asked them to move to the dining room for dinner.

In the dining room, a servant stood respectfully by, holding a basin of water and a towel in his hand.

After they sat down, the servants came forward and washed their hands one by one.

Song Zhengdu stretched out his hand a little awkwardly and asked the servant to wash it with warm water.

He was not used to the feeling of being served, but he did not want to appear rude, so he tried to remain calm.

When I looked up at Song Yan, I saw him waving his hand to let the servants go away, and he reached into the basin to rub his hands.

Seeing this, Song Zhengdu also waved his hand to let the servants go, then followed Song Yan's example and put his hands into the basin, washing them carefully.

After washing their hands, the servants quickly removed the basin and handed them clean towels for them to wipe their hands.

Then, the dishes began to be served one by one.

Song Zhengdu noticed that although the servants moved quickly, the whole process was extremely quiet without any unnecessary sound.

In his heart, he secretly admired the strict rules in Fourth Brother Shu's house.

Looking at Song Yan and Shu Changyu again, I saw that they looked calm, as if they were already accustomed to such scenes.

Song Yan took the lead and picked up a piece of pork ribs, put it in Song Zhengdu's bowl, and said, "Erlin, eat more. You must have been exhausted during this period of time."

Song Zhengdu felt warm in his heart and quickly said, "Thank you, brother."

Shu Changyu supported his chin with his left hand, with a faint smile on his lips. Under the table where no one could see, he gently touched Song Yan with his foot.

Song Yan felt a tingling sensation as if she had been electrocuted, and then glared at Shu Changyu, signaling him to stop messing around.

Shu Changyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his lips became more intense. He moved closer and said in a dragging voice in Song Yan's ear: "Yan Yan, you care about Er Lin so much, I am jealous."

Song Yan's ears felt slightly hot, and she glared at Shu Changyu again, and whispered back, "Stop making trouble and eat well."

Song Zhengdu, who was sitting opposite them, watched their interaction and became more and more confused, but he didn't dare to ask.

He could only eat in silence, occasionally looking up to observe his eldest brother and fourth brother Shu.

At this time, Fourth Brother Shu whispered something to his eldest brother again, and his eldest brother angrily slapped Fourth Brother Shu's hand.

Fourth Brother Shu was not angry at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he was in a good mood.

Song Zhengdu felt that there was a special atmosphere between them, an intimacy that he could not understand for the time being.

Suddenly, Shu Changyu raised his eyes slightly and noticed Song Zhengdu's gaze, but as if he didn't notice it, he naturally moved closer to Song Yan and whispered a few words.

Song Zhengdu suddenly felt like a candle on the stage, too bright.

After dinner, Song Zhengdu was taken to the guest room by the servants to rest.

Song Yan and Shu Changyu were still in the dining room.

Seeing Shu Changyu leaning lazily on the chair, Song Yan couldn't help but kick him under the table.

It's so disrespectful to touch each other while eating.

Shu Changyu sat up with difficulty and said in a lazy tone: "Yanyan, you really have a bad temper."

"Who was the first to behave unruly at the dinner table?" Song Yan retorted unhappily.

Shu Changyu reached out and hooked a strand of hair on Song Yan's shoulder and wrapped it around his fingertips.

He said in an ambiguous tone: "Yanyan, it's getting late, let's go to bed early."

Song Yan almost jumped up from her chair.

"I'm going to sleep with Erlin tonight, so you can go to bed by yourself."

Shu Changyu's smile froze.

"No."

Song Yan ignored him and went straight to the guest room.

"We two brothers have something to talk about, so don't come and disturb us." He said without turning his head.

Looking at Song Yan's back as she walked out the door, Shu Changyu raised the corner of his mouth and narrowed his almond-shaped eyes dangerously.

In the guest room, Song Zhengdu was sitting at the table thinking about what happened today.

Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. When I opened it, it was Song Yan.

Song Zhengdu asked in surprise: "Brother, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Song Yan said awkwardly: "Erlin, I will sleep with you tonight."

The two brothers finished washing up and lay down on the bed side by side.

At this time, the night was as dark as water, and occasionally there were a few insects chirping outside the window.

Song Zhengdu wanted to ask something, but didn't know how to start.

Song Yan was also silent, as if thinking about something.

Song Zhengdu finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, you and Fourth Brother Shu..."

At the same time, Song Yan also opened his mouth and said: "Erlin, I..."

Under the hazy moonlight, the two brothers looked at each other, and Song Yan looked embarrassed.

"Erlin, there are some things that Big Brother has never had the chance to tell you."

"Your fourth brother Shu and I are already engaged."

Song Zhengdu widened his eyes, his face full of surprise.
