Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Feng Jiyuan was invited to Dong Mansion on his birthday.

Xu Yiwan asked Mama Guo to prepare a table of sumptuous dishes.

After everyone was seated, Dong Jiafu took out a bowl of noodles from the dining room and placed it in front of Feng Jiyuan.

"Sorry, I didn't think of a suitable gift for you, so I made you this bowl of noodles. I wish you a happy birthday."

Feng Jiyuan raised his head in surprise, "Afu, did you make this for me yourself?"

Dong Jiafu nodded, "My cooking skills are so-so. If it doesn't taste good, you can barely eat a few bites. It's my birthday after all."

"Afu's cooking must be delicious."

Xu Yiwan motioned Dong Jiafu to sit down, and said to Feng Jiyuan with a smile: "Don't rush to talk, try it first. We have only eaten the dishes made by Afu, but not the noodles she made."

Feng Jiyuan felt even more happy when he heard this. Doesn't that mean he was the first to eat it?

He immediately lowered his head and took a big bite, nodding his head, "It's delicious!"

Dong Jialin couldn't help but laugh, "Afu, I'm right, he will be happy no matter what you give him."

"Second brother, you mean that the noodles I made are not delicious?" Dong Jiafu asked deliberately.

Dong Jialin waved his hand quickly, "No, no, that's not what I meant..."

He had an idea and pointed at Feng Jiyuan and said, "I'm just jealous of him. When my birthday comes in two months, I will also eat the noodles you made by yourself."

What he said made Feng Jiyuan even more happy, and he was reluctant to eat the bowl of noodles in front of him.

Dong Jiafu laughed and said: "This is not easy. From now on, not only the second brother, but also my parents and the eldest brother's birthday, I will do it for you."

"Then we can agree."

At this time, Feng Jiyuan stood up holding the wine glass.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt, for remembering my birthday. Thank you for preparing these for me and spending it with me."

"Sit down," Dong Jingtang raised his hand, "You are alone in the capital, so of course we have to take care of you."

"Yes Jiyuan, it's just like home here, no need to see outsiders." Xu Yiwan followed.

After finishing the meal in a lively manner, it was already dark outside. Feng Jiyuan ate all the noodles made by Dong Jiafu.

Dong Jiafu and Dong Jialin saw him off.

Before Feng Jiyuan got in the car, he specifically said to Dong Jiafu: "Afu, thank you for the birthday gift you prepared for me. I like it very much."

"It's just an ordinary bowl of noodles, as long as you like it."

"Then I'm going back."

"Let's go quickly -" Dong Jialin urged, with a playful smile on his face.

Feng Jiyuan turned around sheepishly and got on the carriage.

Entering October, the weather is getting colder.

On this day, Qin Fangsui's maid Xianglan suddenly came to ask to see Dong Jiafu.

"My servant has seen Miss Dong." Xianglan followed Xia Zhi in and saluted.

Dong Jiafu was quite surprised by her arrival, "What message did Miss Qin ask you to bring?"

"Yes, our girl would like to invite Miss Dong to go shopping on the street together tomorrow. I wonder if you are free?"

Without waiting for Dong Jiafu to answer, Xianglan continued: "The girl said that if you are not free tomorrow, she can wait until you are free someday before making an appointment with you."

Qin Fangsui said so. It seemed that she would have to go sooner or later. Even if she refused this time, there would be another time. Dong Jiafu simply responded: "Okay, tomorrow."

Xianglan was overjoyed and said, "At midnight tomorrow, our girl will be waiting for you at the largest clothing store on the north side of Xifeng Street."

"Okay, help me tell Miss Qin that I will be there tomorrow

The time has come. "

The next day, Dong Jiafu arrived at the agreed place. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Qin Fangsui waiting at the door of the clothing store.

"Sorry to keep Miss Qin waiting for so long."

"No, we have just arrived, and I have just arrived." Qin Fangsui said with a happy face, "Miss Dong, I am so happy that you can agree to come out with me."

Dong Jiafu looked up at the plaque of the ready-made clothing store and said, "Miss Qin invited me here to buy clothes?"

"Yes, winter is coming soon. I want to buy some winter clothes, so I asked Miss Dong to help me choose one."

"I can accompany Miss Qin to take a look, but I don't know your daily preferences, so I'm afraid I won't be able to give you appropriate advice." Dong Jiafu said truthfully.

When going shopping to buy clothes, shouldn't you go with someone you know well?

"It doesn't matter. I trust your vision. Maybe what you choose for me will make me look brand new after wearing it." Qin Fangsui turned around and said, "Let's go in."

"Okay." Dong Jiafu followed her into the store.

Inside, Qin Fangsui tried on four sets of clothes in succession, and Dong Jiafu gave her own opinions one by one. Finally, she chose two sets from them, and then selected several pieces of fabric.

It took almost an hour to buy these.

Qin Fangsui asked Xianglan to take the store clerk to put the things on the carriage. She turned to Dong Jiafu and said, "Look, I have let Miss Dong accompany me to choose for so long. I forgot to ask if you want to choose too." set?"

"I don't need it." Dong Jiafu replied.

"It's almost noon. Let me invite you to have something to eat at the restaurant outside."

Dong Jiafu declined, "Miss Qin, you don't have to be polite. If nothing happens, I will go back first."

"That's okay, you specifically

He came out for me and stayed with me for so long. I would be very sorry if I couldn't express my gratitude. "Qin Fangsui said sincerely.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter. Miss Qin doesn't need to take it to heart."

"Miss Dong, please don't reject me, just go over and talk to me, okay?" Qin Fangsui's tone even contained a hint of pleading.

Dong Jiafu was startled, then nodded in agreement, "Then I will be disrespectful."

"It should be like this." Qin Fangsui said with a smile.

The two of them left the clothing store and went to a nearby restaurant. Qin Fangsui asked the shopkeeper for a private room.

"What do you two girls want to eat?" the waiter of the restaurant asked after the two took their seats.

Qin Fangsui said: "Miss Dong, please have some."

Dong Jiafu waved her hand, "I don't often eat out, so I'm not very familiar with these things. I'd better do it, Miss Qin, I can do it."

"Okay, I'll do it. If you don't like it, you can order more."

Qin Fangsui quickly ordered three dishes and one soup.

When the food came, she picked up her chopsticks and said, "Miss Dong, try it quickly to see if it suits your taste."

Dong Jiafu took a bite of the fried yam in front of her, nodded and said, "It tastes very good. Miss Qin should try it too."

"Okay, let's eat some other dishes."

The two ate in silence for a while, and Qin Fangsui spoke up: "Looking back at our first meeting at Duke Dingguo's Mansion, I never imagined that we would sit and eat together like we do today."

Dong Jiafu put down her chopsticks and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Yes, at that time I was just a maid in the Duke's mansion, so naturally I was not qualified to sit with Miss Qin."

"Miss Dong, please don't say that. That's not what I want to say." Qin Fangsui continued.

He hurriedly explained, "Actually, when I first met you, I felt that you were different from other maids. You looked outstanding, and you were good at helping others. Both the old lady and the eldest lady favored you. Brother Lian Yan also……"

Hearing her mention Cui Qiyan, Dong Jiafu's expression changed slightly, "What did Miss Qin want to say?"
