Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

After listening to Zhong Yunfeng's introduction, the guests and diners at the tables in Yunfeng Building picked up the candies, peeled off the oil paper, and stuffed them into their mouths.

This is completely different from previous candies and immediately made everyone feel extremely fresh. As they tasted more, these two different flavors of candies captured a large number of diners.

Seeing that the guests and diners seemed to be enjoying their meal, Zhong Yunfeng ordered the dishes to be served in an orderly manner.

The guests and diners who had tasted the dishes of Yunfenglou in Wanshou County in the past were full of expectations for the dishes of this Yuzhoufu branch. When they saw that the dishes served by the waiters were more varied and tasted better than those of Yunfenglou in Wanshou County, they all applauded.

For new diners who have never been to Yunfenglou, they are just there to watch the fun and try something new. When they see the waiters serving one dish after another that looks good and has novelty, they all look curious.

Smelling the aroma of the food, these new diners tentatively picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into their mouths. This unprecedented stimulation of their taste buds made them feel an unprecedented freshness and deliciousness. They couldn't stop eating, and their chopsticks flew around and their mouths were very busy.

Zhong Yunfeng felt relieved when he saw the reactions of the diners.

It was past noon, but there was still no sign of a decrease in the number of diners in Yunfeng Tower. Every table was fully occupied, and private rooms were hard to find.

After tasting a table full of delicious dishes, Ye Changyan, his students, brothers and sisters left the private room. Soon, diners dressed in gorgeous clothes were arranged to enter the private room which had not yet been cleaned.

Mr. Cai was shocked to see such a hot scene. The opening of Qiongtai Pavilion, one of the three largest restaurants in Shengjing City, was probably just as grand as this.

When Zhong Yunfeng saw Ye Changyan and Mr. Cai and his party coming out of the private room, he hurried forward to greet them.

"Mr. Cai, have you finished your meal?"

"Eat well, eat well. Today I have broadened my horizons. There are so many new and unique dishes that I have never heard of. The taste is really outstanding!"

Zhong Yunfeng couldn't help but smile when he received such an evaluation from Mr. Cai.

Ye Changyan was also very happy. When he came out of the private room, he saw that although the building was crowded, it was in good order. He was even more impressed with Zhong Yunfeng's ability.

Just as everyone was greeting each other, a waiter quietly ran up to Zhong Yunfeng and whispered something in his ear.

Zhong Yunfeng's face darkened. Although he adjusted himself quickly, Ye Changyan, who was standing next to him, observed carefully and guessed that something might have happened.

Ye Changyan cast an inquiring look at Zhong Yunfeng. Zhong Yunfeng hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Ye Changyan.

"On the street outside the gate, a pair of half-grown children who claimed to be brother and sister were kneeling on the ground selling their bodies, attracting many onlookers."

When Ye Changyan heard this, the first thought in his mind was to speculate, could it be that someone was maliciously causing trouble? Seeing that Zhong Yunfeng was too busy to spare time, and if this matter was really done deliberately by someone with ulterior motives, then if Zhong Yunfeng showed up, he would easily fall into someone else's trap.

"You keep an eye on things in the building. I'll go out and take a look."

After hearing what Ye Changyan said, Zhong Yunfeng nodded to Ye Changyan, and saw Ye Changyan and his group going downstairs and walking towards the gate.

When Ye Changyan and his companions walked out of the gate, they saw many people forming a circle on the street.

Mr. Cai, Liang Jingcheng and others who didn't know the situation were curious, so they walked towards the crowd.

Wulang and Erniu were short and didn't know what was going on inside. They wanted to go in to watch the fun and were about to dive in, but Ye Changyan, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, caught them back one by one.

"There are a lot of people on this street, so be careful and don't get hit by the beggars."

Hearing their brother's warning, the brother and sister nodded fearfully, and then followed behind Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng, with Ye Changyan and Lu Tingfeng following behind them. Only then did the brother and sister feel at ease.

A group of people squeezed into the crowd and saw that in the middle of the crowd, there were two half-grown children, a boy and a girl, kneeling on the ground in mourning clothes with straw stuck in their heads.

Wulang and Erniu had never seen such a scene before and didn't know what had happened, but Ye Changyan and his students had a rough idea of what had happened.

The crowd of onlookers all had solemn expressions on their faces, and everyone was whispering in low voices.

Ye Changyan carefully looked at the two half-grown children kneeling on the ground, while listening to the discussions of the people around him.

The boy kneeling on the ground was about the same age as Silang, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a handsome face. The girl next to him looked younger than Erniu, about ten years old. Although she was unkempt, a closer look revealed that she had fair skin and a pretty face.

Ye Changyan heard people nearby whispering that the brother and sister were from a village outside Yuzhou Prefecture. At the beginning of the year, their father went out to do business, leaving behind his frail and sick wife and the pair of children.

Originally, the family of this brother and sister was quite well off in the village. Although the hostess was frail and sickly, the family relied on more than ten acres of land. Although their life was poor, it was still peaceful.

But during the Spring Festival, the man accidentally heard a piece of news about making money in business. He believed it without a doubt, sold more than ten of his fields at the beginning of the year, borrowed some money from relatives and friends, and went out with others to do business and make money.

At first he received one letter every month, but later there was almost no news from him. His wife and children who stayed at home could only wait day and night. Now that they had lost their land, and the little money that the male owner left behind when he left was almost spent, life became increasingly difficult for the mother and children.

A few days ago, the mother and son who had been waiting for a long time finally got news from the male owner, but what they got back was the sad news that the male owner failed in business and died in a foreign country.

The hostess who heard the news could not bear the blow for a while. She was also weak and sickly, so she passed away in anger, leaving behind a pair of children. The brother and sister had no choice but to sell themselves to bury their parents.

Listening to the discussions around him, Ye Changyan was a little confused for a moment. Looking at the appearance of the brother and sister, they were both of superior quality, and at their age, many wealthy families should be scrambling to buy them.

But the brother and sister were kneeling on the ground, and although there were many people watching around them, no one came forward to talk to them.

This made Ye Changyan somewhat curious whether this brother and sister were really deliberately arranged by someone to come and cause trouble on the day of Yunfeng Building's opening.

Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng had seen similar things in Shengjing a long time ago, but it was the first time for Wulang and Erniu to see such a scene. They stared at the brother and sister with wide eyes and curiosity.

At this moment, Ye Changyan took two steps forward, which startled Wulang and Erniu. However, Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng looked at Ye Changyan thoughtfully, and then heard Ye Changyan ask the brother and sister.

"May I ask what kind of difficulties did you two encounter that led you to make such a decision?"
