Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 161 Osmanthus Wine

The servant looked at Shen Fuyu with envy. They were both servants, so why was Shen Fuyu so lucky?

Not only is he loved by the two young ladies, but more importantly, Shen Fuyu can also take the imperial examination. If he passes in the future, Shen Fuyu will directly jump the class and become an official, which is a world of difference from their future.

"I knew that Shen Fuyu would definitely pass the exam." Shen Mengwu was so happy that she danced with joy.

At this time, the servants sent by Lu Mingtang and the other two also returned.

"Congratulations, young master!"

"Master Cheng and Master Lu both passed the exam, as did Miss Meng."

The servants' brows were all smiling, and they happily reported the good news to them.

Although they were confident about the result, they still couldn't control themselves and became happy after it was announced. Cheng Ziqi and Lu Mingtang smiled.

"reward."

Everyone took out a handful of silver and threw it into the servant's hands.

The two servants then left happily.

They love to report good news the most, and their master will reward them when he is happy.

When the news is passed back home, the master will be happy and will give all the servants more money.

Shen Mengwu said happily, "To celebrate the fact that all six of us passed the exam, why don't we go to a nearby restaurant for a nice meal? Of course, the most important thing is that I actually passed the exam. Everyone knows what my level is."

"This meal is on me."

"I am happy, so don't compete with me."

After Shen Mengwu finished speaking, she didn't even wait for their answer. She happily picked up the cloth bag that Shen Fuyu had sewn for her and skipped out of the teahouse. Shen Fuyu and Shen Mengning followed closely behind.

Meng Yuan also followed them.

Cheng Ziqi and Lu Mingtang walked behind.

"Second Miss Shen, you must have been secretly studying hard at home, otherwise how could your knowledge have progressed so rapidly?" Meng Yuan was a very outgoing person. Ever since she realized that the Shen sisters weren't as difficult to get along with as the rumors said, she had become close to them. "Shen Mengwu, tell the truth."

Shen Mengwu chuckled, glanced at Shen Fuyu, and was just about to tell her about how Shen Fuyu taught her to read by telling stories.

Shen Fuyu secretly winked and then shook his head, signaling Shen Mengwu not to say it out loud.

Shen Fuyu was not on guard, he just didn't want to stand out too much.

Sometimes, if you are too outstanding and have no family to support you, it is easy to attract jealousy and all kinds of troubles. It is better to be indistinguishable from the crowd. Only by surviving can you live a longer life and Shen Fuyu can grow up slowly. After all, Shen Fuyu's current cultivation level is still a rookie.

The self-confidence that he had just built up a few days ago had long since disappeared after being hit by the old man in black robe.

Yes.

Everyone worships a cultivator of immortality, so naturally they hide it secretly as a trump card.

Who will use the loudspeaker to announce it?

Shen Fuyu was about to feel proud, thinking that he was one of the few immortal cultivators in the mortal world and could be a little arrogant.

After being exposed by the old man in black robe, Shen Fuyu's self-confidence suddenly became weak. He remembered his original intention. Yes, after going through so many things, Shen Fuyu solved them very smoothly. The initial cautiousness gradually dissipated. Shen Fuyu was about to become too confident. It was the old man in black robe who appeared in time to alert Shen Fuyu and let Shen Fuyu hide again.

Receiving the hint from Shen Fuyu's eyes, Shen Mengwu changed the subject and said, "Of course it's because I'm smart."

"Usually my grades were at the bottom because I didn't want to study. Now I want to study, and my grades have gone up quickly. Meng Yuan, you better be careful. I might surpass you someday, and then you'll be at the bottom of the class."

Shen Mengwu said in a teasing tone.

Meng Yuan immediately retorted, "Impossible, Shen Mengwu, if you want to surpass me, you need to keep working hard, but as you make progress, I will also make progress, and we'll wait and see." Meng Yuan did not feel uncomfortable at all because of this, but instead took Shen Mengwu's provocation as motivation.

"Second Miss Shen, you might as well compete with me."

Shen Mengwu stepped hard on Cheng Ziqi without saying a word.

"Why are you joining in the fun? You and Senior Brother Lu have always been among the best in the academy."

"Cheng Ziqi, I don't care. You and I are treating each other. Who lets you eat the most?"

Shen Mengwu crossed her arms and looked at Cheng Ziqi with a smile. Cheng Ziqi was not angry at all. Instead, he came closer to Shen Mengwu with a smile.

"Call me brother, I'll treat you."

"I want to listen."

Shen Mengwu did not refuse outright. Cheng Ziqi's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Shen Mengwu with great anticipation.

"May I?"

Shen Mengwu smiled evilly, shattering Cheng Ziqi's expectations.

"Of course, come and listen when you succeed in losing weight."

"Okay, Shen Er, do you dislike my fatness?"

Chatting and laughing all the way, the group arrived at Zuixianlou.

Zuixianlou is the most famous restaurant in Qinchuan City. It is always in short supply and has a wide variety of delicious specialties.

Mrs. Shen had already booked a table for the Shen sisters, so Shen Fuyu and his group walked in unimpeded.

The enthusiastic and busy waiter came to the private room, served Shen Fuyu and his group attentively, and put the menu on the table.

The six of them put their heads together and discussed what to order, and soon, a large table of dishes was served.

Shen Mengwu blinked and quietly asked the waiter for a pot of osmanthus wine.

Noticing that Shen Fuyu was eating, Shen Mengwu quickly replaced the hot water with osmanthus wine.

Shen Mengwu took a sip quietly, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Delicious!

Shen Mengwu felt comfortable, squinted her eyes, and tasted the osmanthus wine happily. At this moment, Shen Fuyu's sharp eyes fell on Shen Mengwu. Noticing Shen Fuyu's gaze, Shen Mengwu suddenly sat up straight, some sweat appeared on her palms, and she didn't even dare to look Shen Fuyu in the eye. While she avoided him, she also took the opportunity to drink a few more sips of osmanthus wine.

If Shen Fuyu found out, she wouldn't be able to drink the osmanthus wine.

"You!" Shen Fuyu didn't say much, just poked Shen Mengwu's head and took the osmanthus wine.

"We're happy today, so we can have some drinks to celebrate. Shen Mengwu, how could you drink secretly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining four gazes fell on Shen Mengwu, with condemnation in their eyes.

How can Shen Mengwu eat alone?
"Second Miss Shen, I was wondering! What were you doing sneaking around just now? Turns out you were drinking osmanthus wine behind our backs."

"Hurry, hurry, let me try it. I have never drunk fruit wine before. Anyway, I passed the examination for the status of a student today. Mother won't say anything even if I taste some fruit wine secretly." Meng Yuan licked her lips. Seeing adults often drinking to celebrate, Meng Yuan also felt itchy, but due to her mother's dominance, she didn't dare to try it.

Now that Shen Mengwu was the first to drink the osmanthus wine, Meng Yuan also felt braver.

Seeing that Shen Fuyu did not blame her, Shen Mengwu became bolder.

He also ordered the waiter to bring a few pots of osmanthus wine and poured a glass for each of them.
