Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness

"Master!" Ji Shen couldn't believe it.

In his opinion, Mu Xingzhi was not only his teacher, but also his friend. Not helping him would be fine, but knowing full well that their family was not on good terms with Yun Yuan, he actually proposed to Yun Yuan in public, which was tantamount to a betrayal of their friendship.

He seemed to have been slapped hard in the face, and his face turned blue and white.

Mu Xingzhi ignored him and bowed deeply to Yun Yuan, saying slowly: "My name is Mu Xingzhi. My family owns a thousand acres of fertile land and eight hundred restaurants. Although I cannot be called wealthy, I do have a small fortune. If Madam is willing to marry me, I will do my best to protect Madam for the rest of my life."

His voice was gentle and low, as soft as a spring breeze, but with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

Ji Huai's body was tense, his fingers trembled slightly unconsciously, and a layer of sweat seeped out of his palms.

Will she agree to marry him?

He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Yun Yuan would not agree to Mu Xingzhi's proposal. Deep in his heart, he felt an indescribable sense of uneasiness and crisis.

Finally Yun Yuan spoke. Her voice was very soft, but her eyes were firm and clear.

"Thank you for helping me, sir. I am just a humble person and I dare not approach you. I am deeply grateful for your kindness today."

She looked at Yan Xiaoman, whose face had turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and raised her eyebrows: "I am willing to sign a bet with this scholar, but the bet chips must be exchanged for a store and two hundred taels of silver."

Mu Xingzhi was slightly surprised, but then his eyes were full of interest. He thought she would refuse, but why did she agree to the bet? Did she have something to rely on?

The onlookers also couldn't understand Yun Yuan's thought process.

They were both getting married, so why not just marry Mu Xingzhi and become his wife? Why did they bet with Yan Xiaoman? As diners, they knew very well how good Yan Xiaoman's braised meat was.

They all shook their heads, as if they had already foreseen Yun Yuan's fate.

"Okay!" Yan Xiaoman thought it was hopeless, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events. Mu Xingzhi's behavior put her in danger. She secretly cursed Yun Yuan as a vixen, and her desire to crush Yun Yuan to death became even more urgent.

She said loudly, "If you lose, you will go home with Er Gouzi directly, and you are not allowed to go back on your word for any reason."

Yun Yuan: "You too."

Er Gouzi rubbed his hands excitedly, staring at Yun Yuan's stunning face with sticky eyes, "Wife..."

"Who is your wife?" Yun Yuan interrupted him, her eyes showing disgust: "It's just a bet, do you really think you are a nobody?"

Everyone laughed, and Er Gouzi's expression suddenly turned fierce.

He didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face calmed down again, but his eyes were always fixed on Yun Yuan.

Mu Xingzhi looked at Ergouzi, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he unexpectedly met Ji Huai's equally dark eyes. The two of them tacitly looked away.

Yan Xiaoman felt both happy and contemptuous when he thought that he could deal with Yun Yuan soon. She was just a native girl and she really didn't know her place.

So many restaurants in the city wanted to make the same braised meat as hers, but they all failed without exception. She was also very cautious. The spices she used for braised meat were usually ground and mixed together into powder, and no one knew what was in it.

She pulled Ji Shen over with a proud look on her face, "My husband, please write a written agreement and ask her to put her fingerprints on it. Then she won't be able to deny it in the future."

Ji Shen hesitantly moved his gaze to Mu Xingzhi. Seeing that he did not stop him, he hesitantly reached out to take the pen handed to him by Yan Xiaoman and wrote a note.

Yun Yuan said, "One is not enough. What if I win and you don't acknowledge it? Write me another one."

Hearing this, Yan Xiaoman's eyes became even more sarcastic, but he still asked Ji Shen to write another receipt.

During the whole process, the atmosphere was tense.

In full view of everyone, Yan Xiaoman was the first to press his fingerprints, and then handed the receipt to Yun Yuan.

Yun Yuan calmly pressed the handprint and looked at the menu in Yan Xiaoman's store.

"Braised pig's trotters, braised chicken feet, braised pork belly, and braised eggs are all available in your store. How about we compare these four?"

"Okay." Yan Xiaoman raised his head and said, "We'll meet here in three days."

Yun Yuan looked disgusted and said, "I don't want to come here again. It's narrow and crowded. I want to go to Huai Shang Restaurant."

"I think it's feasible." Ji Huai said, "I have some friendship with Huai Shang Restaurant, just give them a call, and the food will be provided by Huai Shang Restaurant. I will ask the steward to vacate two kitchens for you to compete."

The onlookers cheered, "Then we will all be judges!"

"I'm a scholar, let me go first, I promise I won't show favoritism."

Ji Huai said loudly: "Anyone present that day can be a judge. Welcome everyone to come. I will reserve enough seats for everyone."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely go over there!"

Amidst the noise, a loud shout suddenly came from next door: "You old bastard, I said I won't buy your chicken, why don't you get out of here!"

Yun Yuan looked over and saw an old man, along with a cage of chickens, being roughly pushed and shoved by the waiter from the roast chicken shop next door, and finally fell to the ground in a miserable state.

She felt that the old man looked familiar. While she was thinking about it, Ji Huai rushed forward without hesitation.

He quickly helped the old man up from the ground and asked with concern: "Uncle Wu, are you okay? Are you injured?"

Yun Yuan finally remembered that she had met this old man when she was taking care of Ji Zhang's funeral. He was one of the many members of the Ji family, and he had also given Ji Zhang some paper money.

Uncle Ji Wu rubbed the painful part of the fall, with a bitter look on his face, but still waved his hand and said it was okay. He was a little surprised to see Ji Huai, "Brother Huai, you are in the city too?"

"Not only me, my sister-in-law and Ji Xiucai are here too." Ji Huai was angry: "Let's not talk about this for now. What happened? Why did this guy push you?"

As expected, Fifth Uncle Ji saw Yun Yuan and Ji Shen in the crowd, and a look of joy appeared on his face. With so many clansmen around, they would definitely be able to get justice for him.

Ji Shen had read the most and was a scholar, so it was natural for Uncle Ji Wu to ask him for help first.

"My nephew, can you please judge for me? I brought twelve chickens to sell, and this clerk asked me to go to the store to negotiate the price. We didn't agree on the price, so I planned to carry the chickens to find another buyer, but when I counted them, I found that one of the chickens I brought was missing."

Ji Shen walked out slowly, frowning: "Uncle Wu, are you saying that the guy stole your chicken?"

"That's right!" Uncle Ji Wu said, "We were talking about the price just now. He thought the chickens would make the ground dirty, so he asked me to put the chicken coop in his backyard. I counted the chickens when I went out, and there's no way one is missing for no reason."

The guy didn't expect that the old man had acquaintances here, but he was not afraid at all.

"Everyone in the neighborhood knows that my store has been open for hundreds of years. How could such a big store possibly rely on you for a chicken?"
