Some of the officials in the Hanlin Academy had lunch in the yamen, and some were given at home. In the past, Fu Jingen had eaten lunch in the yamen, but on this day, the family suddenly delivered meals.

Seeing a lot of dishes given by Fu Jingen, he went to invite Zheng Mingyi to eat. Zhou Peiye happened to come with him.

The first twenty of this scientific examination were admitted to the Hanlin Academy, and he had a close relationship with Zheng Mingdai. However, Zhou Yepei, who was in charge of the book, had a lukewarm relationship with him.

Zhou Peiye didn't want to come at first, after all, he had a different relationship with Fu Jingen, but Zheng Mingdae forced him to come.

After several people sat down together, Zheng Mingdai asked with a smile: "What delicious food did your brother and sister make for you?"

Qingshu sent four dishes and one soup, namely fried mutton onion, dried fried croquettes, West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp and fish head tofu soup.

Zhou Peiye's eyes lit up when he saw the bright red vinegar fish. His favorite thing at home was to eat this dish, but unfortunately ordinary restaurants can't make the taste of the house. Large restaurants, like Fuyun Tower, are too expensive to afford.

After picking it up, Zhou Peiye praised it continuously: "The meat is tender, sweet and sour. Brother Fu, can you cook Jiangnan cuisine in your cooking skills?"

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "My cook is from Pingzhou and is best at making Jiangnan dishes. The pickled and fresh one I almost swallowed my tongue for the first time. It was so delicious."

Zhou Peiye said: "Brother Zheng likes pickled and fresh food the most. He has the final say whether it is as delicious as you said."

Fu Jingen was both surprised and happy and said, "Brother Zheng, what Brother Zhou said is true?"

Seeing Zheng Mingtai nodding, Fu Jingen smiled and said, "My wife also likes to eat pickled and fresh food. She has to cook it every now and then. If Brother Zheng doesn't dislike it, he will take his sister-in-law to my house for a few drinks during the rest."

Zheng Mingtai responded and asked, "Ye Pei, are you doing something when you are having a rest? If it's okay, take your younger brother and sister to join me to join Brother Fu's house."

Zhou Peiye looked at Fu Jingen and asked, "Do you have time for brother and sister?"

Only then did Zheng Mingdi realize that Jingen's situation was different from theirs.

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "Yes, she has a month off."

Zhou Peiye hesitated for a while and said, "I heard that my brother and sister are well-written, and I have received praise from Lan and Shangshu Wang. This time we go over, can we appreciate my brother and sister's masterpiece?"

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "My senior brother can read her calligraphy works, but because my senior brother said that her calligraphy is still not good enough. Therefore, her works are not given to others."

Zhou Peiye smiled and said, "Just let me watch one or two."

A meal brought him closer to Zhou Peiye.

After Fu Jingen came back home, he heard Qingshu practicing calligraphy and entered the study lightly.

Qingshu put down the brush, frowned and looked at the words he had just written.

After a while of no response, Fu Jingen hugged her waist helplessly and said, "What's wrong? I think this word is well written."

"I always feel that it's not going well when I write."

Fu Jingen said: "You haven't read the "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription" yet, you can watch it more."

"Mr. Kelan said, please stop observing famous copybooks."

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "You should listen to your advice from your senior brother, but don't treat it as an imperial edict. You see, although I use swords, I still learned the Duan Family's sword technique. And all martial arts in the world have similarities. I understand the essence of Duan Family's sword technique, and then merge it with the sword technique I have learned to create a new set of sword techniques."

"You are a martial arts genius, I'm not."

Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "Don't be too rude. Without anyone's guidance, your calligraphy can reach this level, which shows that you are very talented. Therefore, you can adopt the advice of outsiders who are pertinent, but don't pay attention to the inappropriate ones."

"I'm afraid I'll be affected."

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "I'll ask for the current dilemma first. As for the others to talk about in the future. But I believe that as long as you persist, you will definitely form your own style."

Because of Master Lan Er's words, Qingshu has been hesitating and wandering for the past few days. But Fu Jingen's words made her suddenly enlightened. Yes, it is best to let it go if you want so much: "Deliberately forcing will make me lose the fun of practicing calligraphy."

So, she should do it her own way!

Seeing that he figured it out, Fu Jingen was very happy: "In a few days of rest, my colleagues Zheng Mingdae and Zhou Peiye brought their wife to visit, and then we will entertain them together."

Before Qingshu could speak, Fu Jingen said, "Don't worry, Zheng Mingdae and Zhou Peiye's wife are dignified and polite women. I think you should have something to talk to them."

Qingshu was very happy and said, "I will make a table of Jiangnan specialties and let them have a great time."

"Just let Aman do it, don't cook, otherwise I won't bring my colleagues back in the future."

After dinner, the couple was walking in the garden. Looking at the bumpy vegetable fields in the garden, Qingshu smiled and said, "When spring begins, we will be well repaired here."

Fu Jingen hired a craftsman before getting married and wanted to reorganize the yard. But when Mrs. Nie learned about it, she advised him that she would marry a bride soon and not to make trouble, which was delayed until now.

"What do you want to plant?"

Qingshu thought for a while and said, "I must have peony roses and orchids, and I also need to plant banana, crabapple flowers. If I can, I also want to plant a bamboo forest. In this way, it will be very cool to stay in the bamboo forest when it is hot in the summer."

As long as Mu Hua and other varieties are not particularly expensive, they are quite good.

"Bamboo grows rapidly. As long as we find the right variety and plant a piece, they will soon grow into a large area."

Qingshu smiled: "Then you have to find a suitable variety. If you buy the braised bamboo and purple bamboo that are only suitable for growing in the south, it will be useless no matter how much you plant it."

Fu Jingen immediately said, "I will find it well."

"I have already agreed to Xiaoyu that I will ask the gardener in her mansion to help me see what flowers and plants are suitable for me when the spring starts."

Fu Jingen nodded and said, "Listen to your arrangement."

After talking about his own affairs, Qingshu said to him: "Will Guan Zhenqi still talk to you and chat?"

"Yes, we chatted for a while yesterday. What's wrong? Did the couple quarrel?"

Qingshu gave him a blank look and said, "You can't expect others to be better?"

Fu Jingen was not angry either and smiled: "If it weren't for a quarrel, what would he do for no reason?"

Qingshu said simply Feng Xiaoyu's words: "Since you contact us frequently, let me talk to Guan Zhenqi and let him learn from you too!"
