"Of course it's a dish you've never tasted before. The new dishes just launched today are vinegar-based pork sausages and green pepper-fried pork slices. The meat slices are so tender."

"It smells very good, and..." Shi Mo walked towards his carriage, and Lin'an quickly followed.

Ke Yuqi stretched out his hand and moved his lips, wanting to say something. Li Zhiyan smiled: "Okay, don't be embarrassed, let's go in!"

"I want to eat it tomorrow too." Ke Yuqi said coquettishly.

Li Zhiyan's body trembled and he took a few steps away from him: "Don't disgust me."

"Hehe, okay, but if you don't say anything, you are agreeing. I will ask my sister-in-law to do it for me tomorrow."

"Sure." Li Zhiyan said cheerfully.

Wei Chengzhi hurriedly followed and asked with a smile: "Brother Ke and Brother Li seem to have a very good relationship. Is Brother Li's sister-in-law very good at cooking?"

Ke Yuqi was unprepared. After all, he was his classmate. He replied directly: "Yes, Brother Li's sister-in-law is very good at cooking, but her cooking skills are not the best."

"Oh?" Wei Chengzhi became even more curious.

Ke Yuqi smiled happily: "My sister-in-law's cooking skills are the best, and all the dishes I cook are taught by my sister-in-law."

"Having said that, I'm curious about what it tastes like." Wei Chengzhi looked at Li Zhiyan expectantly.

Li Zhiyan looked at him and smiled slightly: "If you have the opportunity, please invite Brother Wei to my home."

"Then I'm welcome." Wei Chengzhi smiled happily and invited the two of them into the yard.

Li Zhiyan put down the things that Shi Mo had brought, including snacks, side dishes, and braised meat made by the braised food shop.

"Brother Li, why did you come to my house as a guest and bring your own food?" Wei Chengzhi was speechless. He didn't expect Li Zhiyan's family to be so generous.

I'm afraid I have one or two taels of silver here.

"It's natural to be a guest at Brother Wei's house."

Wei Chengzhi didn't want to refuse the gift, so he accepted it after saying a few polite words.

"Brother Li, Brother Ke, you two sit here for a while, and I'll go talk to my mother and sister."

"Brother Wei, take care of yourself." Li Zhiyan and Ke Yuqi spoke at the same time.

Wei Chengzhi left first. After a while, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came in with tea.

Li Zhiyan and Ke Yuqi looked at each other. The girl put down the tea bowl and said with red cheeks: "I am Wei Wanyue, and Wei Chengzhi is my brother."

"We don't have any maids at home, and we only have coarse tea. Don't dislike it, you two."

After saying that, he secretly looked up at the two of them, and when he saw Ke Yuqi looking over, he immediately lowered his head again.

Taking the tray and running out of the door, Ke Yuqi opened his mouth and finally looked at Li Zhiyan: "Brother Zhiyan, do I look like a scourge?"

"It doesn't look like it, but he doesn't look like a good person either." Li Zhiyan took a sip of tea. He was indeed a little thirsty.

Ke Yuqi angrily picked up the tea and took a sip, then frowned.

"This tea is not as bad as she said. The price of this tea is probably not low."

Li Zhiyan said nothing, rolled his eyes at him, and put down his tea bowl: "When you are a guest at someone else's house, listen more and talk less."

"Brother Zhiyan taught you a lesson."

While joking, Wei Chengzhi came back again, and this time he brought Gu Qinglin and two other classmates.

"Brother Zhiyan, it turns out you've arrived early." Gu Qinglin greeted Li Zhiyan as soon as he came in.

"Well, Brother Wei invited me, so I came back with him." Li Zhiyan nodded.

The other two people are named Hao Feiyu and Gu Hao respectively.

Li Zhiyan was not very familiar with them, but he was not unfamiliar either. After bowing to each other, they sat down and chatted. Wei Chengzhi left again, and the five chatted for a while. The remaining five also arrived, namely Tang Xiangming, Xin Jiarui, Song Guoan, Jia Yi and Xuan Kangping.

Ke Yuqi whispered: "Wei Chengzhi has only been in the academy for a month, but he has already made so many friends."

"This man is really not simple."

Li Zhiyan didn't say anything, and Gu Qinglin whispered back: "I think he must have some purpose. Tang Xiangming's family runs a pawn shop. I heard that there are also shops in the county."

"Song Guoan's family is in the grain and oil business, while Jia Yi and Xuan Kangping's family is a spice shop, and the other family owns a teahouse."

"Hao Feiyu and Gu Hao are students who have just obtained the title of scholar. Why do I feel that Wei Chengzhi is choosing a brother-in-law for himself?"

Hearing Gu Qinglin's words, Ke Yuqi suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.

"We can't drink too much today. One of you must be sober and take me back."

"I don't want to wake up tomorrow and be surrounded by multiple people for no reason."

Ke Yuqi came from the capital and had seen a lot of such things since he was a child.

Gu Qinglin snickered: "Don't tell me, who in our academy doesn't know that you are an official son from the capital."

"I'm afraid I'm the safest one. After all, I am the son-in-law. Although brother Zhiyan is a bit mysterious, he is good-looking."

"Fear is also one of the reasons for being targeted." Gu Qinglin smiled easily.

Li Zhiyan glanced at him coolly and whispered back: "That's impossible to say."

"Let's take a look first, and don't make random suspicions, lest others listen to you, it will ruin the reputation of other girls."

Hearing what Li Zhiyan said, the two of them quickly shut their mouths.

Looking at Wei Chengzhi, he was indeed greeting the others very enthusiastically, and Li Zhiyan and the other two were also very happy.

"Brother Li, Brother Ke, Brother Gu, please move over to eat." Wei Chengzhi also wanted to talk to Ke Yuqi, but he stayed beside Li Zhiyan and Li Zhiyan.

He couldn't force people away, so he could only entertain others first.

"Please." Ke Yuqi smiled and made a gesture of invitation. Wei Chengzhi smiled and could only take the lead towards the dining room.

The Wei family's courtyard is not very big, one can only enter the courtyard.

Entering the dining room, there were three women busy.

"Don't be polite, everyone. It's just a simple meal, so don't be polite."

"I am Chengzhi's mother. This is my neighbor. I asked her to help me." Mother Wei greeted with a smile and introduced the other two women to everyone.

Everyone called Auntie in unison, and Mother Wei smiled and welcomed them to sit down.

"These braised pork were brought by Mr. Li. Son, who is Mr. Li? I want to say thank you to him."

Li Zhiyan stood up quickly and bowed: "Auntie, please don't be polite. It's just some food, so please don't dislike it."

"How can I dislike it? It's our Wei family's blessing that you gentlemen can come to my house as guests."

"Don't be polite, everyone. I'm going to work in the kitchen first." With that, Mother Wei left the dining room, and the other two women put down the dishes and went out.

Wei Chengzhi quickly greeted everyone to start eating. In another room, a young bride asked Wei Wanyue: "Sister, which one have you chosen?"

"Yes, what your brother brought back today are all outstanding men. They are all the best men in the academy."

"Some families are engaged in business, and some are just very knowledgeable. This year's head of the case is also among them, but your brother said that person seems to be a bride-in-law as well."

"Let's put it aside first, and choose others first."

The bride also said: "Have you seen the young man in blue? He is the young master of the Beijing official family. He has never been married, and he has no concubines."
