Outside the door, Yu Kangle came in with two jugs of wine. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he could smell the smell of barbecue.

"It seems that I came at the perfect time today. If I had missed this opportunity, Madam Lin might not have saved any barbecue seasoning for me."

Yu Kangle had been holding back from coming to see Lin Ting and the others because he was afraid of affecting Shen Qingzhou's scientific expedition.

Now that Shen Qingzhou has passed the imperial examination, many ministers in the court will support some of the imperial examination candidates, and there are no longer so many taboos.

Besides, Yu Kangle had been living in someone else's farm for a year, and no one could say anything when he came to congratulate Shen Qingzhou.

"Master Yu, you are finally here. Please take a seat."

Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou were greeting the guests. Everyone who was supposed to arrive had arrived, but Lord Cui couldn't come today.

His nephew also passed the exam and asked someone to send two pots of wine to Shen Qingzhou. The yard was unusually lively tonight.

In the living room, Lin Ting divided the area into men's and women's seats. In addition to some common banquet dishes, Lin Ting also had someone cut up the roasted whole lamb and distributed it to everyone for tasting.

"Everyone, try this. It's seasoned with Wushan peppers. It tastes different from what you've had before. Try it."

Lin Ting distributed all these at the cooperative partner's table. Seeing Lin Ting promoting Wushan pepper, Mrs. Shang also took action.

These merchants might come to her to buy goods in the future, and Mrs. Shang would not miss any opportunity to make money.

"Yes, this is good stuff, everyone should try it, everyone should try it!"

Lin Lin and Madam Qu have all tried it, and it tastes naturally very good.

Han Yian had eaten a lot of barbecue in the border town, especially mutton, but he had never eaten anything as delicious as the one grilled by Lin Ting.

I picked up a piece and tasted it, and my eyes lit up. It was all barbecued meat, and it tasted so, so delicious.

Delicious food can really make people feel better, and you can bake it yourself without the comparisons in the deep house. Han Yian feels that this is the party that suits her.

As for the men's table, with Lord Yu's strong recommendation, they started eating without any instructions.

Everyone congratulated Shen Qingzhou. Although Shen Qingzhou was only a tribute scholar now, there was no guarantee that he would become a high-ranking official in the future that these businessmen could not reach.

The banquet was extremely lively, and Steward Zhou even had people set off fireworks and firecrackers.

The lively atmosphere was broken by a few people who came to give gifts.

"Shen Huiyuan, the Seventh Prince asked me to come and congratulate Shen Huiyuan. These two jars of Zhuangyuanhong were also brought by the Seventh Prince to Shen Huiyuan and Madam Lin to cheer him up.

Congratulations! Next time the Seventh Prince has time, he will definitely come and have a drink with Shen Huiyuan in person."

As soon as the title of the Seventh Prince was announced, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, even Han Yian put down the barbecue in his hand.

The situation in the court is now delicate, and the Seventh Prince even wants to move into the Eastern Palace. This is something everyone knows.

But how could Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting be in collusion with the Seventh Prince? This makes people think deeply.

Shen Qingzhou stood up, walked to the guard, and asked Butler Zhou to take the wine away.

“Thank you for your concern, Seventh Prince. This is such a good No. 1 Scholar wine, you can’t let me take it all.

Tomorrow I will call my classmates to drink this wine together, so that we can all enjoy the blessing of the Seventh Prince. We will definitely pass the imperial examination. I thank the Seventh Prince here."

This champion wine was given to Shen Qingzhou to remind him that if he followed the right person, noble people would help him.

But Shen Qingzhou didn't appreciate it, which made the guards' tone turn cold.

"I have already delivered the wine. Shen Huiyuan is so generous. The Seventh Prince will surely be pleased. Shen Huiyuan, please be busy. I will take my leave."

The people who looked at the Seventh Prince went back after giving the gifts.

Qu Yuanxun and Lin Lin both knew that this was an obvious attempt to win over Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou, and Shen Qingzhou's previous intention was that he did not want to have too much interaction with the Seventh Prince.

The two of them spoke almost directly this time. Even when the Seventh Prince personally tried to win him over, Shen Qingzhou refused.

If the virtuous concubine and the seventh prince really value Lin Ting's property, I'm afraid this matter will not be let off so easily.

Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, Lin Ting quickly greeted everyone.

"Everyone, have a drink. Today I've prepared a lot of Wenzhu County specialties, including a lot of meat. If you want to experience barbecue, you can come and grill your own."

Qu Yuanxun also stood up and took the lead, and Yu Kangle also raised his glass and asked everyone to drink together.

Until the end of the dinner, no one mentioned the Seventh Prince's gift again.

Wan Weiran, on the other hand, waited for Han Yian to leave for a long time before he slowly stood up.

Lin Ting watched the guests arrive at the mansion. Lin Lin and her friends were the first to arrive and the last to leave.

"Lin Ting, Qingzhou, the virtuous concubine has always been narrow-minded. Today, the Seventh Prince brought the champion wine. You should understand what they mean, right?

From what I know about them, I'm afraid they won't let you off so easily. You'd better be careful in the capital from now on."

"We will be careful. My sister is about to give birth. Brother-in-law, you have to pay more attention to her."

With the Tea Language Building there, Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting will collect information and do their best to protect themselves.

"Then we'll go back too. If you two have any problems, feel free to come to Qu Mansion to find me."

Qu Yuanxun is very optimistic about his brother-in-law Shen Qingzhou. Having one more of his own in the court will mean more help in the future.

The banquet officially ended only after Lin Lin and the others left.

However, Wan Weiran's nightmare had just begun.

In the dark night, he was riding his horse back to his own residence. Halfway through the journey, he was pulled down by a strong hand.

"Who!"

Before he could see who was coming, he was beaten with punches and kicks. Although he didn't see the person's face, he remembered the dress. It was the one Han Yian was wearing today.

"Han Yian, you've gone too far! If you hit me again, you'll regret it."

Han Yian stopped, squatted in front of Wan Weiran, and put one of his hands on his shoulder.

"Wan Weiran, don't use my grandfather to pressure me. He's been dead for many years. I tell you, you only have two choices now.

First, our Han family will not be the kind of people who betray their trust. The marriage between you and me is just a child engagement. You can tell your father that this marriage does not count. It is better for both of us.

Second, if I marry you, what you experience today will be what you will experience every day. Even if you practice martial arts for decades, you will never be able to defeat me."

Han Yian likes brave generals, not the weak Wan Weiran. Even if she wants to get married, she wants to marry a man who is equally powerful as her.

Apart from his good-looking face and impressive medical skills, there was nothing about Wan Weiran that she liked.

Similarly, Wan Weiran also doesn't like Han Yian, but he just obeys his family's arrangements.

"Han Yian, if you have the guts, beat me to death, or I will go to the border town to find General Han to take charge of the matter for me."
