Taking advantage of the visit of the imperial eunuch Cao Gonggong, Yu Ci's skillful cooking success attracted attention; Yu Feng even took the opportunity of praise to propose to Cao Gonggong to learn from the teacher on behalf of Yu Ci, but Cao Gonggong actually proposed that castration should be the condition. Wei Bingfan was in trouble because the coal ship was detained, so he had to marry Yu Feng to the Wang family in exchange for the help of Tai Shigong. Yu Feng is unwilling, but for her family, she can only put away her admiration for Yu Ci and promise to commit herself to marry Wang Yulin, whom she has never met before.

Shan Qi was overwhelmed by Wang Yulin's anger and was ill in bed, but Yu Lin ran away and gambled and had fun. Wei Yufeng couldn't bear to see Shanqi seriously ill and his only son was not with him, so he went to the gambling house in person to persuade him. In the end, Yufeng played a clever trick to gamble with Yulin, and successfully made him return home. Although Yulin returned home, he deliberately stayed in trouble because of a grudge; Yu Lin asked Yu Feng to prepare twelve dishes in one hour. Just when there were no fresh crabs in the market, Yu Ci appeared and successfully replaced it with a dish made of protein, "crab racing". It turned out that he was the new chef of medicinal diet. Although the two met again, Yu Feng reiterated that the current status is only a master-slave relationship. Although Yu Lin no longer went out to be extravagant, he invited Hua Qianhong and the singer to sing in the house and continued to have a good time. Yufeng accidentally smashed Lian Zhongxuan and Qianhong's secret meeting, but she didn't know that they were conspiring to seize Shanqi's fortune through Yulin.

Yu Feng was divorced on the grounds of ruining her family's voice. However, because Yu Feng couldn't bear to be given more money, she died innocently, and persevered to finally crack the framed truth and get revenge. However, although it was revealed that he had been framed by a set-up, Zhong Xuan was so eloquent that he even claimed that Shanqi's property had been completely destroyed by Yulin and fell into his hands. It never rains but it pours. Wang Fu caught fire, Abby was paralyzed by a back injury, and Zhu Yinzhi became crazy after she fell. However, Zhong Xuan was greedy for the property she cheated from Yu Lin, but she didn't escape and died in the sea of fire. Everyone in the Wangs was driven away from the Wangs' house, and I had to give them help to find a shabby house to live in. Yu Lin looked for former friendship, but he was turned away from others.

Yu Ci will go to Guangzhou with Cao Gonggong, but Yu Feng makes it clear that she will give up her personal feelings for the Wangs and will never leave. On the other hand, Deshan fled back to the Wangs because he didn't want to be insulted by Zhong Gui, so Yu Feng was resourceful and relieved, and even forced Zhong Gui to sign a divorce certificate, so that Deshan could leave his status as a child bride. Yu Ci, unwilling to part with Yu Feng, decided to give up going south with Cao Gonggong. Before he left, he said goodbye to his master and disciples and gave him a treasure, "Phoenix Jade Chopsticks", which was later used as a mortgage by Yu Ci and temporarily lent to the Wangs to pay for it, so that the Phoenix Building was opened for business. Since the opening of the Phoenix Building, there are so many people who are puzzled. Everyone went to Ruyi Building for reference and finally found out the problem.

Yu Feng found the clue from the letter, and was shocked to find that Yu Ci had never gone south after leaving without saying goodbye, but was displaced in the capital. Yu Feng couldn't bear it, and decided to secretly arrange for the master to be beaten and treat Yu Ci's right hand injury. On the other hand, Wang Jiazhang and his wife bought inferior goods because they mistakenly believed that others had failed in their investment, which brought trouble to the Phoenix Building. Thanks to Wei Yufeng's tactful solution, she forgave them even more, which made them deeply impressed. However, the two accidentally bumped into Yulin's private reunion, and even visited his house.

Episode 7 became angry from embarrassment and brought people to attack

In anger, Wang Yulin decided that Wei Yufeng was having an affair with Yu Ci, and brought people to attack yiguang. Fortunately, Yu Ci's injured patients have recovered and people will fight away in the future. At this point, Yu Cifang knew that it was no accident that he met Gu Zhang. It turned out that Wei Yufeng had specially arranged it. When Yufeng was unwell, the doctor told her that she was pregnant, and told her that Yulin had happy news, but she was ridiculed. She even claimed that it was not her own fault. After Yulin did not know how to repent, she indulged in alcohol and tobacco all day, which made Dong Daixi sad. Yulin disappeared from here until Yu Feng was in labor, and it was reported that Yulin had been put into prison. It turned out that Hua Qianhong died of smoking opium too much, which made Wang Yulin suspected of murder. Wei Yufeng and Yu Ci went to the yamen to inquire about the news, but they were moved by it. Fortunately, Yu Ci delivered the baby in the ruined temple, and Wei Yufeng finally gave birth to his daughter Wang Zijun. Yu Feng took her daughter and Deshan back to her hometown by train, but when she started, she met an accident. In the chaos, she left her daughter to Todd Shan to take care of her, and then Yu Feng and Yu Ci, who came to rescue her, were unfortunately involved in the explosion accident! More than ten years later, during the May 4th Movement, Yu Feng loved the girl and was already a patriotic high school student ...

In the eighth episode, she repeatedly retaliated because of misunderstanding.

Wang Zijun was suspended from school by Dong Daixi because of street drama, and apologized for embroidering the word Fu. Although her handiwork was extremely poor, she was able to impress Dong Daixi and continue to go to school. On the way to school, I met Li Jixiang with my friends. Because I misunderstood his ulterior motives, I took revenge by playing tricks. Li Jixiang turned out to be the new head teacher. Wang Zijun was angry and boasted, and even incited all his classmates to leave the classroom to protest. Li Jixiang disagreed and climbed to the tree to teach defense. Wang Zijun was not to be outdone when he saw it, and climbed to the tree for a tit-for-tat stalemate; When he returned to the Phoenix Building, Wang Zijun saw Wang Jiazhang and others arrange to meet Fan Lize for dinner, intending to fix it up. However, Wang Zijun had little affection for Fan Lize. On the other hand, Li Jixiang visited Du Lijin's home, and finally learned about her situation and reasons. Under the arrangement of Li Jixiang, Wang Zijun and his party decided to take part in the rickshaw race to help Du Lijin's father raise treatment fees to tide over the difficulties. After hard practice, they won the fierce competition without expectations. However, all this was discovered by Dong Daixi ...

In the ninth episode, Dong Daixi took his parents to the school to make a big mistake. Fortunately, Wang Zijun was clever and clever. Seed of love, Wang Zijun, regarded Li Jixiang as Prince Charming in his daydream, and later discovered his secret crush. Li Jixiang's helper turned out to be his mother Wei Yufeng, so at the suggestion of a friend, he decided to pretend to be his mother's reply and learned that Li Jixiang needed to find a house to rent, so he arranged to rent out the wing, which was a bean sprout dream. On the other side, rickshaw driver Xu Lihan's real identity turned out to be a revolutionary, and his assassination failed and he died. Thanks to Gu Xiaomei's rescue, he got away with it, but Li Jixiang was not implicated because he moved away in time. In order to help Li Jixiang achieve the ideal of publishing a book, Wang Zijun made persistent efforts. Unexpectedly, due to a sprained foot, the manuscript fell into the river and became more and more busy. Fortunately, the manuscript was finally delivered to the editor-in-chief, and the two of them were all smiles.

In the 1th episode, Wang Zijun deliberately sent rice cakes, but received a cold reception. Later, he learned from Li Jixiang's letter to Wei Yufeng that he could not accept this feeling. With the support of Zhang Li and Du Lijin, he deliberately arranged three encounters, hoping to convince Li Jixiang that it was a godsend. What really bothers Li Jixiang is the love between teachers and students, which is unacceptable to the secular world. It turns out that there is still a fiancee who is married by the stomach. Only when her mother Xin arrives with Du Shuxian, she is forced to get married and return home as soon as possible.
