Fengdu, Yipinzhai This year's mooncakes from Yipinzhai are very popular with customers. The beautiful designs and various flavors of mooncakes are especially popular with boys and girls. Mooncakes, mooncakes, this name is also very good. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, many housekeepers in the mansions come to Yipinzhai to place orders and buy them back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition, there are many mooncakes produced every day, so the mooncakes made in the restaurant can hardly keep up with the sales. Recently,
Yipinzhai has a lot of customers, and the seats are always full. It has become the best-selling restaurant in Fengdu.
The morning tea is different from the ordinary teahouses, and there are many kinds of snacks. Sit down and boil water slowly with a small stove, make tea, eat snacks, and chat for a whole morning. Customers who have been here once especially like to invite three or five friends to come to Yipinzhai for tea early in the morning.
Yipinzhai has new dishes all the time, and everyone likes to try them. And it must be said that after eating the dishes of Yipinzhai, the dishes of other restaurants always feel bland, and Yipinzhai is still better, so old customers like to come back to Yipinzhai. The
new wines produced by Yipinzhai are also very popular. The red wine and green wine are limited every day, and you really can't buy them if you are not lucky. In the evening, we went to Yipinzhai to have a barbecue. Most of the men like to drink a few sips of rice wine, which is strong and tastes good.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, people have smiles on their faces and seem to be in a particularly good mood. People gathered in the wine houses and teahouses were talking about the fourth prince marrying the most talented man in Fengdu. This has become the most frequently mentioned thing among the people in Fengdu.
The person standing upstairs stood by the window, a pair of calm eyes watching the people coming and going on the street, pursed lips, pale, without any blood color. Some words do not need to be heard deliberately, they will reach his ears. He did not expect that staying here would be more uncomfortable than he imagined. Fang Ziye had a self-deprecating smile on his face.
Hearing the door ring behind him and the footsteps approaching, he knew who was coming.
"How come the Fourth Master has time to go out today?" Turning around, Fang Ziye saw Feng Lingxiao standing three steps behind him. It was the Fourth Prince Feng Lingxiao who was said to be marrying the most talented scholar in Fengdu.
He came to Yipinzhai today. The business in the building has been very good recently, so he doesn't have to worry about anything. He also received the letter from Manager Fang, and he approved it and had someone send it over. Half of the good business in the building is due to Cao Xiangnan, so what is given to Cao Xiangnan is what he deserves.
When the princes in the palace are sixteen years old, they will be granted the title of king by the emperor and leave the palace to build their own houses. Feng Lingxiao was a surprise. When he was fifteen, he followed the old general to the army. He had been gone for ten years. He was called back two years ago. The emperor named him the King of Wings and gave him the King of Wings Mansion. Then he moved to live in the King of Wings Mansion.
Now, in order to marry Liang Junxi, the mansion is busy. Fang Ziye thought that this person would not have time to come out again, but he did not expect him to come here. Feng Lingxiao
looked deeply at the person who was smiling at him, and remembered that intoxicated night, the way this person was enjoying himself under him. Even if he had known that Fang Ziye was a man, he would not have thought of touching this person. That night was just an accident.
Unexpectedly, he didn't have to deal with it after waking up. This person was like nothing happened, as if nothing happened that night, and treated him no differently than before. Fang Ziye's attitude told him his answer to what happened that night. He felt indescribable about it, but he also knew that this was the best way to deal with it.
He could take this person into the Yiwang Mansion. His mansion didn't mind keeping such a person. But Feng Lingxiao knew that this person would not be willing, and he would not want to just treat Fang Ziye as a little servant in the backyard of his mansion. This person's value is far greater than a little servant who warms the bed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Facing Feng Lingxiao's burning gaze, his heart skipped a beat for no reason. If he didn't know that this person knew nothing, Fang Ziye would have thought that he had known the secret he was hiding. The smile on his face deepened a little. He left the window and walked over, saying, "Sit down."
"I'll ask someone to bring in a pot of good tea." As he said that, he walked towards the door.
Fang Ziye opened the door and gave an order to the people outside. When he saw Feng Lingxiao sitting there, he paused and walked towards him as if nothing had happened.
The two of them have known each other for almost ten years. That year, he went with the caravan to deliver goods and encountered bandits on the road. More than 20 people in the caravan were killed by the bandits. At that time, Feng Lingxiao brought people down from the sky and saved their lives. From then on, this fate of abuse was planted in his heart.
The Fang family is a family of merchants and has been engaged in business for generations. Unfortunately, he is the only son in his generation. That year, his father came back from a trip and fell ill and died on his sickbed. In less than a month, half of the Fang family was divided up by clansmen and relatives. If it weren't for his mother's desperate pressure, the huge Fang family would have nothing left in the end. But even so, the Fang family didn't last long.
Half a year after his father left, his mother also died of illness. The concubines in the mansion took all the things and ran away, and the servants left one after another. The once wealthy Fang family ended up with only him.
Fortunately, his father left him a loyal butler who helped him to organize the Fang family caravan. From then on, he became a boy and led the caravan to transport goods. Thinking about it now, Fang Ziye doesn't know how he got through that time. When he encountered bandits that time, the butler blocked a knife for him to protect him and left. Otherwise, there would be no Fang Ziye in the future.
Until many years later, Fang Ziye still remembered the scene when he first met Feng Lingxiao and saved him from the edge of a knife. At that time, this man was carrying a pair of light cavalry. He only knew that this man was not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that he would be a prince.
What happened next was almost a matter of course. He followed Feng Lingxiao and became a chess piece in his hands. It took him nearly ten years to build Yipinzhai in every place in Feng Dynasty, and secretly built many singing and dancing venues. The caravan that only had a dozen people at the beginning is now growing.
This person was not in Fengdu for ten years, and he helped him build a base in Fengdu, helped him collect news about Fengdu, and sent it to him in the army. Even if he was not in Fengdu, he had all the news about Fengdu in his hands.
Even his life was saved by this person. Everything he has and everything he does now are nothing more than for this person. As long as it is what he wants, Fang Ziye will give everything and is willing to get it for him.
Now this person has been recalled to Fengdu, named King of Wings, and is very much liked by the emperor. He was granted marriage to Liang Xijun as his concubine, and is one step closer to what he wants. Fang Ziye knew that this person had been forbearing for so many years, just because he wanted that position. He had no reason to stand in this person's way. He would only help him get to that position, and then he could retire.
Tea was quickly brought over, along with snacks, and the person who brought them in quickly left. Fang Ziye gathered his mind, brewed tea for the person, and placed it in front of him. Knowing that this person might not have eaten anything, he also placed the bowl and chopsticks for him, "Eat something."
"Sit." Feng Lingxiao uttered a word. He had just come down from the morning court, and knew that this person was here, and he didn't know how he had the carriage come here. Before the wedding, he was not very happy about marrying Liang Xijun.
"Okay." Fang Ziye also sat down, picked up a small steamed bun with chopsticks and put it in Feng Lingxiao's bowl, "Try the taste." Knowing that Feng Lingxiao likes salty food and doesn't like sweets, the tea and snacks on the table were sent to this person's taste.
Although the two of them are in a superior-subordinate relationship, their relationship over the years is closer than that of superiors and subordinates, more like old friends and old acquaintances with a good relationship.
"Be careful of the soup inside..." It burned your mouth.
Before he finished speaking, he saw this person picked up a piece of steamed bun with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, eating it in one bite. Fang Ziye looked at Feng Lingxiao's expression and knew that he was burned, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry, I didn't remind you in time. The soup in it is a bit hot. Eat slowly." Fang Ziye didn't dare to laugh anymore when he met the man's gaze. He coughed twice to suppress his laughter.
The man who had been accustomed to simple meals in the army for many years finished a meal in just two or three bites. He also ate very quickly. Maybe the food suited his taste, so he ate without saying anything else. It was not the first time that Fang Ziye had eaten with Feng Lingxiao, so he was naturally used to the way this man ate.
Outsiders only knew that this man had the title of the fourth prince and was conferred the title of king and mansion upon his return. They didn't know how many scars and sword wounds he had on his body. These were all left on the battlefield. Everything he had now was exchanged for his life.
"You eat too." Feng Lingxiao glanced at Fang Ziye and found that this person who accompanied him did not eat anything, so he said.
"I've eaten, and I'm not hungry yet. Just eat, don't worry about me." Fang Ziye had a faint smile on his face. He didn't have much appetite, even when he sat with this person and saw him eating happily. He put a piece of cake into his mouth and put down his chopsticks, not wanting to eat anymore. It
would not be surprising to say that there was no change between the two after that night. They seemed to get along more casually than before, and this person was inexplicably close to him. Fang Ziye would not push this person away and let this kind of ambiguity between them exist, even though he knew he should distance himself from this person so as not to let himself get deeper and deeper. It was a pity that he had already fallen into it.
"You've lost a lot of weight." This was not a question, but an affirmation. Feng Lingxiao saw that Fang Ziye was not feeling well.
So what this meant was that you've lost a lot of weight and should eat more.
"Really?" Fang Ziye reached out and touched his face. He knew that he had lost a lot of weight because he had no appetite and was not in a good mood recently. Facing Feng Lingxiao's eyes, he smiled and said, "I think it's because the weather has turned cooler recently and I caught a cold accidentally."
This also explains why he wore one more piece of clothing than others and would wear a cloak when he went out. It was just that he took off his cloak when he was alone in the room just now, and he didn't expect this person to come over. Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance before going out and would not reveal anything. "I'll arrange for a doctor to come over and see you later." Feng Lingxiao said.
"No, no need. I've asked a doctor to see me. It's nothing." His heart skipped a beat, and Fang Ziye quickly smiled and refused. "The doctor just said that I just need to rest recently. It's not a big deal." He said.
"Yeah." Feng Lingxiao looked at Fang Ziye, but he had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
The two of them left Yipinzhai one after the other. Feng Lingxiao left first, got out of the carriage waiting at the back door, and said, "Let's go back." With his head against the wall of the carriage and wrapped in a cloak, Fang Ziye put his hand on his abdomen, gently touching that place, and closed his eyes a little tiredly.
