The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

Chapter 597: Challenging High Difficulty (Additional Words)

In fact, when Ah Chi was showing the golden branches and jade leaves tree to the older generations of the nine clans, Fu Huaian also got off the carriage.

As soon as he got out of the car, he held Shen Zhiqiu's arm without waiting for him to make any move, and said with a smile: "I am here to congratulate you on the opening of your workshop today."

The word "uncle" made several officials from Zhigu who wanted to come up and make themselves familiar with him even more stunned.

It turns out that these so-called nine clans who were able to produce the token of the Duke's Mansion were not the families that they had previously thought were more convenient for the Duke's Mansion to use?

But it’s the family that both Prince Fu and General Huaiyuan call uncle?

The crowd around was even in a commotion. They felt that they had never seen as many important figures as they did today in their entire lives.

There were also men who smacked their lips and whispered in the crowd:

"What a capable family this must be, are they also royal relatives? There is only one Duke's Mansion in our dynasty, and the old Duke of that family married the eldest princess.

This prince of the Duke's Mansion still has to take care of the leader. Is the owner of this workshop called uncle?"

"Yes, a man of that status called me uncle in public and took the initiative to help me. How good is this relationship? I dare not imagine how good it can be."

"Yes, no wonder our prefect and Sima are here. Now I understand."

As for what he understood, everyone around him felt that they knew it well.

Even if they call him uncle and have a good relationship, but for a workshop to open, people from far away would come in person. What could this be for?

All they could think of was that the owner's identity was also extraordinary, and he also had a very close relationship with the Duke's Mansion.

In fact, everyone around him acted as if they understood everything, but Shen Zhiqiu himself didn't understand. He felt in his heart that it was not the case.

It was a bit slow for him not to react. Fu Huai'an had to hold his arm before he reacted.

"Chuan Ting, why did you come here in person? It's nothing serious. The court must be very busy recently."

Fu Huaian smiled with curved eyebrows, without any of the coldness and ruthlessness he had on the battlefield: "Well, I just came back from the army, and when I heard that the workshop in Zhigu had opened, I immediately set out to take a look."

This made Shen Zhiqiu feel even more embarrassed. He was already very busy, but he still asked others to make this trip.

But once someone comes, we can’t chase them away.

"Thank you for thinking of me. Let's go. Fuyunlou has booked a buffet. It's almost time. Let's start the meal."

The main thing is that he didn't know what to say. He was a little at a loss for words. Thank you so much. You came all the way here. You have to eat first.

·····

Speaking of Fuyunlou, there are five tables on the third floor.

The rest are on the first and second floors. This is a real buffet. Anyone can come, from noon to night, as long as you come to congratulate.

At the entrance of the restaurant, the Jiuzu also asked the restaurant owner to prepare a big pot of dishes and big white steamed buns, which could be received by beggars in the city or people living in poverty.

This is also to gather blessings for their clan.

As for the main table on the third floor, Fu Huaian still gave the main seat to Master Shen. He only sat in the fourth seat because Old Man Shen and Shen Zhiqiu were sitting in front of him.

Although the prefect and Sima of Zhigu also sat at the main table, they were really at the end of the table.

The other officials were just at other tables on the third floor.

But this already made them feel extremely honored. After all, not everyone had the opportunity to live in the same room or even eat at the same table with the son of Duke Fu, the 19-year-old third-rank General Huaiyuan. This would be enough for them to brag about for a long time when they go back.

But it must be said that Fu Huaian is not without airs towards everyone.

Throughout the whole event, Shen Zhiqiu and Li Quan, as the hosts, had to walk around from time to time and order drinks to the tables on the third floor.

We can’t even say toast now, because these officials have realized that they don’t deserve the word “toast”.

Didn’t you see General Huaiyuan sitting there, toasting the old men from the nine clans with a smile on his face?

After three rounds of drinking, Shen Zhiqiu picked up the glass again: "I am really happy today. I didn't expect Chuan Ting to come all the way here. I have to thank you all for coming."

Except for Fu Huaian who was holding a wine glass with a smile on his face, the other officials could only say no and congratulate the workshop for its prosperous business.

The leader of the Cao Gang, who was sitting at the last seat on the third floor, glanced at his youngest son obscurely:

This brat is usually cynical and doesn't do anything serious, but how come he finally wants to get married and even chooses such a difficult match for him.

Huo Shiyuan himself didn't think so much about it. He was just a little depressed. It seemed that Erya didn't come this time. Although he received a message from Miss Shen San who sent someone to the seafood workshop, saying that Erya was still young and wanted to stay at home for a few more years.

He was not really a fool, so he naturally knew that this was a rejection.

But even though he was rejected, he still coaxed his father to come forward and test the waters.

He could wait even for a few years. After all, he had thought that only by completely changing his background could the Shen family feel at ease to marry Erya to him.

When I came, I was actually a little bit expectant. A spy had reported that Miss Shen San had come to Zhigu. I thought that since the two of them were inseparable, Erya could come too, even if it was just to see her from afar.

Unexpectedly, they didn’t give us any chance at all and the person never came.

So when the kid sat down, his father asked him to toast a few adults he was familiar with, but he had no interest in doing so and just drank one cup after another by himself.

As for Fu Huaian, who also had other thoughts, he was not much better off because Shen Youyou did not show up in the restaurant at all.

She was very busy. The guests had gone to eat, and she still had to instruct the workers on some things. Work would officially start tomorrow.

Calculating the time, the imperial examination notice should be coming soon, and they themselves cannot delay too long in Zhigu.

She was so busy that the banquet was over. She only ate two buns when she was really hungry.

Shen Fugui and others were seeing the guests off outside the restaurant.

"Thank you for coming today despite your busy schedule."

"Okay, take care. Tell your master that Marquis Zhongyi will host another banquet in the capital."

"..."

As for Lord Zhongyi himself, he was so happy and drunk that he was sent back to the inn in a daze and fell asleep early.

It was also at this time that the officials of Zhigu learned that there was an uncle in the family of these nine clans.

I was muttering in my heart: "No wonder he is related to the Duke's Mansion, they are all nobles."

But on second thought, the prince of a first-class duke family would not be so respectful when meeting a third-class earl.

At the banquet, the prince often blocked the drinking for Mr. Shen.

Moreover, his attitude towards that uncle made it seem like he was a junior following behind him.

Captain Chen beside Lord Sima also felt that today was unreal. He was not very old, almost the same age as Fu Huaian.

He unconsciously expressed his thoughts: "Why do I feel that General Huaiyuan treats Mr. Shen like I treat my father-in-law?"

It was this sentence that startled Lord Sima beside him, especially when he thought of the heroic Miss Shen who was dressed in women's clothes.

Just looking at the appearance, maybe it is possible.
