As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhenghai couldn't help laughing.

"Back then, Zhizhi was able to defeat a hundred people on her own. Her strength remains unchanged. Do you want to try again now?"

Fang Nanzhi quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I'm the host today and I can't fight with guests."

Mainly because she didn’t take medicine today.

The people around him laughed.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Qin Yan toasted the two of them. These were the first friends he made in the academy. Life is only a few decades long, and there are so many people he meets, but how many of them can become his friends?

After two drinks, Yu Zhenghai started talking completely.

"Before coming here, I was thinking that Brother Qin Yan's status is different now. He is a scholar. I have to behave well and not offend him."

"Now I see that I was just being mean-spirited."

Wei Qinglin smiled shyly.

Qin Yan said: "It doesn't matter if I offend you, I will beat you up in private."

"Hahaha."

"Now that Qin Yan's leg has completely healed, if he fights again, he might be able to beat Yu Zhenghai."

Yu Zhenghai was not convinced and shook off the flesh on his body.

"That's not necessarily true. My body isn't built for nothing."

He is still a little fat.

There's nothing I can do about it. As the young master of Taotie Tower, I can eat whatever delicious food I want.

I can't control my mouth.

A group of young people were talking animatedly when a man in a dark brown brocade robe came over.

"Master Qin, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you're still as charming as ever."

The man smiled and saw that Qin Yan didn't say anything.

He was not in a hurry: "We met once before, Master Qin, have you forgotten..."

"It is a real surprise to me that Master Ji can come."

Qin Yan spoke, but his words sounded strange, and he didn't even say the most basic welcome.

The Ji family is a merchant family, and Ji Yuanyou has taken over the business in full in the past two years.

In the early years, the Ji family wanted their descendants to study and change their family background, but Ji Yuanyou had no talent for studying. He could not even pass the examination to become a student for so many years and continued to do business.

He and Qin Yan were indeed not familiar with each other and had only met once.

But Qin Yan has a photographic memory, and he remembers Ji Yuanyou's sister, Ji Qingmei.

The girl who had "accidentally" met him several times outside the provincial school, but never appeared again after he deliberately spread the news that his leg could not be healed.

Ji Yuanyou almost couldn't keep the smile on his face.

"My father and I have come uninvited. Please forgive me, Master Qin."

Qin Yan looked at another table, where all the people sitting were local gentry.

He nodded: "Master Ji, you are joking. Guests are welcome. Please take a seat."

Ji Yuanyou breathed a sigh of relief, but did not rush to sit down. Instead, he pulled a little girl out.

"This is my third sister, Ji Hongmei. She's thirteen years old this year and can be a close friend of Miss Fang."

Fang Nanzhi: ...

She is going to the capital, what should she do with her close friend?

But she has to entertain guests.

"Hello, Sister Ji."

"Hello." Ji Hongmei greeted shyly, and glanced at Qin Yan out of the corner of her eye, her face suddenly turning even redder.

Qin Yan was perceptive and noticed it, frowning deeply.

What's going on with the Ji family?

Back then, you brought Ji Qingmei to him, and now you send Ji Hongmei?

The latter is only thirteen, too young.

The Ji family had no choice. When the news of Qin Yan's leg not being healed spread, Ji Qingmei got married.

Now they can't let their daughter get divorced and then try to seduce Qin Yan, right?

Even if they are willing, Qin Yan can't do it.

Fortunately, the Ji family has many daughters, and except for Ji Qingmei, only Hongmei is a legitimate daughter.

It’s okay to be younger. Men, don’t they all like young and innocent girls?

Even if the Ji brothers and sisters were added to the table, it wouldn’t have much of an impact.

Ji Yuanyou also knew the others and could talk to them.

After a while, Qin Yan stood up and asked each table to toast in turn.

When we arrived at the main table, there were my parents, Mr. Zhou, the county magistrate's wife, the village chief, Master Wei, etc.

Since Qian Fengping was there, it didn't look out of place for the county magistrate's wife to sit here.

In fact, when a wealthy family like them holds a banquet, male and female guests are separated.

But today, the county magistrate's wife didn't seem to mind the simple environment of the Qin family's banquet. She even had a great chat with Qian Fengping and talked about parenting tips.

"Oh, this kid is really handsome and elegant, unlike my naughty boy who goes out to play all day and has a very dark face."

The county magistrate's wife looked at Qin Yan with full admiration.

This young man is so handsome, it's a pity that she doesn't have a biological daughter.

If she took out those concubines in the harem, she would make enemies with Qin Yan.

"Madam, you are too kind to praise me. I don't deserve it." Qin Yan was very humble.

"Madam, please don't praise him. This kid doesn't like to be praised. He can't compare to the calmness of the county magistrate's son." Qian Fengping quickly praised the other person's son.

Master Wei drank Qin Yan's toast calmly.

He was filled with emotion, but in the end he just asked, "How is Mr. Zheng's health lately?"

"Very good, everything tastes delicious." Qin Yan replied.

Fang Nanzhi came over and said, "Master Wei, before I came back, my teacher asked me to tell you that he wants to play chess with you. When you are free, come to the city to visit Mr. Zheng."

"Don't worry, my husband will definitely prepare some wine for you in advance."

Mr. Wei likes wine tasting.

Not the kind of drinking that makes you drunk, but a small drink to relax you.

"You child, you are still so lively." Master Wei couldn't help laughing when he saw the little girl.

"You are the only female disciple from our academy. How are your studies going? You must not slack off."

I almost broke my teacher's habit of wanting to test the younger girl's academic performance, but unfortunately the occasion was not right.

Fang Nanzhi modestly said: "Learning is endless, I can only be more diligent."

Master Wei was overjoyed.

After finishing the main table, we had to go to the next table, where sat the village elders, including Clan Leader Qin, Clan Leader Fang, Clan Leader Xiao Fang, etc.

If Qin Yan had not been expelled from the clan and had not published a separate family tree, Old Man Qin could actually have sat at the main table.

"Thank you all the elders for your care..."

A table of old men drank with him.

My heart is full of emotions.

Patriarch Qin's mood was completely calmed down and he started to praise directly.

"You are the Qilin son of the Qin family."

It's a pity that Qin was not lucky enough to keep the girl, and it was also his fault for being short-sighted in the past.

Ugh.

It's time to consider passing on the position of patriarch.

Patriarch Fang didn't know what to say, so he just remained silent.

It was Fang Lu who said a few words.

"With so many people taking the imperial examination, Brother Yan managed to get the top spot. He's really smart. Copper coins... No, Lord Fang has a good son."

In the past, Fang Tong only had a daughter, and his wife died.

Many villagers and clansmen were muttering behind Fang Tong's back, asking if he was the last one to leave.

But now, the son born later has become so successful.

Qin Yan nodded seriously: "Thank you, Uncle Fang, but my father has a good daughter."

Fang Lu was stunned, and smiled awkwardly at Fang Nanzhi's resentful look.

Humph.

Fang Nanzhi didn't bother with him.
