At dusk, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased. The stalls were closed one by one. The vendors also hurried to close their stalls and leave the city before the city gates closed. If they were late, the city gates would be closed and they would not be able to leave the city.

With fewer pedestrians, the blocked roads became unblocked. There were more carriages on the road than during the day. The carriages passed through the bluestone road, and the horses' hooves made a clattering sound. Among these hastily passing carriages, it is very likely that one of them was occupied by an official from the court.

At this time, the business of restaurants and hotels is the best. The masters would meet in groups of three or five and go to the restaurants to drink. Carriages stopped in front of the restaurants, and the guests in fancy clothes got off the carriages. The waiters were busy and smiled to welcome the guests inside. After working all day, the men would just go to any restaurant to get a good meal at a low price.

Cao Xiangnan was taken to Yipinzhai by the servant sent by the shopkeeper Zhong in the morning. He had been busy all day. Seeing that it was getting late outside, Cao Xiangnan went to find the shopkeeper Zhong and said that he wanted to go back. He should go back after being out all day. He was worried about the two children who had been in the yard all day.

"Ah! "

Who knew that as soon as he said he wanted to go back, Shopkeeper Zhong smiled and told him that he had sent someone to pick up Wanfeng and the children and took them to the courtyard he had arranged. Cao Xiangnan stared at Shopkeeper Zhong, who was smiling like a Buddha. How could he not know about this? He

remembered that he had been busy here all day and didn't even know that Wanfeng and the two children were taken away. If Wanfeng and the two children were sold, would he not know?

"Didn't I tell you?" Shopkeeper Zhong suddenly realized and apologized hurriedly, "It's my fault, it's my fault. I forgot to tell you such an important thing. I said at that time that I must remember to tell you, but I forgot it later. It's all because of my bad brain." "No, no

, no, I have to thank Uncle Zhong for arranging the accommodation. Xiangnan thanked Uncle Zhong. "Cao Xiangnan knew that Manager Zhong acted first and asked for permission later, and he also knew that Manager Zhong arranged accommodation for them out of good intentions, so he was not really angry.

"No need to thank me, we are all family, there is no need to say thank you or not. Didn't you say you wanted to go back? I asked the driver to take you back. You have to go back after being out for a day. "When the shopkeeper Zhong heard that Nan was going back, he did not force him to stay. Anyway, as long as he was in Fengdu, why would he be afraid of not being able to find him?

He had to say that this boy really impressed him. After this boy's adjustment today, everything looked better to him. The dishes in the kitchen tasted better than before after this boy's instruction. Several old customers who had dinner today tasted the dishes and asked him if the chef in the kitchen had changed today. They all praised the dishes today, which was a great affirmation of their Yipinzhai. So it was not

unreasonable for Lao Fang to praise this boy so much. When he thought of Cao Xiangnan who had always been They all arrived in Nanyang, and it was a great bargain for the old man, Lao Fang, for so long. Thinking that this kid was the first time to come to Fengdu, Shopkeeper Zhong felt unbalanced. He was thinking about what else he needed to do in this building. He would ask the servant to pick him up tomorrow and finish all the things in the building while he was still in Fengdu. He even wanted him to stay in Fengdu forever.

Cao Xiangnan didn't know that he hadn't left yet, and Shopkeeper Zhong had already planned to pick him up tomorrow morning. Hearing Shopkeeper Zhong asking for a carriage to take him back, he didn't know where Wanfeng and the child were taken, and he couldn't refuse, so he said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhong." He said.

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. "Shopkeeper Zhong waved his hand and asked the servant beside him to arrange a carriage to take the people back, saying, "Nan boy, you really helped your uncle a lot today..." followed by a lot of compliments.

Cao Xiangnan listened without being proud, anyway, Yipinzhai's business was still there, and his pockets were full.

When he left, he did not go through the main gate, but through the small door at the back

. The hustle and bustle of the day was gone. The whole city of Fengdu was quiet at this time. There were fewer stalls along the road. People who had closed their stalls hurried home. There were also fewer porters carrying loads on their shoulders on the street.

On the way back, Cao Xiangnan sat in the carriage and looked outside. Seeing that there were fewer people on the street, he knew what was going on. This was similar to Nanyang.

The city walls of this era were It was built for military purposes. Most of the city gates would be opened at dawn and closed before dark to avoid being attacked by the enemy at night.

The city gates would be closed every day. Before the city gates were closed, people living outside the city would rush home. When the next day dawned, everyone would rush into the city. Those who were doing business would do business. The daytime was the busiest time in the city. It was a busy time.

Compared with Nanyang City, the streets in Fengdu City were wider and broader, there were more shops and buildings, and people's clothes were made of better materials. This was Fengdu.

On the way back in the carriage, Cao Xiangnan was looking at Fengdu, which he had visited for the first time. When he walked into Fengdu City, everything here was strange and novel to him. It was interesting to walk in this quaint city.

"馭——" The carriage came to a quiet and spacious street and stopped in front of a small courtyard. This was the eastern part of the outer city. If you couldn't live in the inner city, the best place to live in the outer city was this East Street.

"Young Master, we're here. "The driver outside said.

Cao Xiangnan got off the car with the curtain lifted, and thanked the driver who sent him back. He knew that this was the courtyard arranged for them by Manager Zhong. He took a look at the doorway and walked towards the main gate, knocking on the doorknob with both hands.

"I'm coming..."

"Master." Liu Lan, who came to open the door, saw that it was his master who came back, and a happy smile appeared on his face. He quickly moved aside to let the master in, and said, "The mistress and the young master are in there, master, come in quickly. "

Hearing the noise outside, Qi Wanfeng walked in from the house, and saw his husband who had returned. A smile appeared on his face. Even the little Baoer in his arms clapped his hands excitedly and babbled when he saw his uncle who had returned. He was very happy.

Seeing his husband walking up to him, Qi Wanfeng said with a gentle smile on his face, "Husband, you're back."

"Well, have you had dinner? "Cao Xiangnan strode towards the people waiting there. After not seeing each other for a day, he had an urge to hold her in his arms when he saw her again. He looked at his wife with burning eyes, and felt embarrassed for staring at her. Her husband

's gaze was too hot. Qi Wanfeng turned away slightly, not daring to meet her husband's eyes, and her face was slightly hot. Feeling embarrassed to see him, Cao Xiangnan smiled a little bit wickedly, and didn't stare at his wife so straight anymore.

"The children and I have eaten. How about you, husband? Have you had dinner? I asked the kitchen to leave some food for you. Do you want to have some?" "Because they didn't know when her husband would be back and he would bring two little ones to eat, they had dinner early. They were afraid that her husband would come back late and had not eaten, so Qi Wanfeng specially left some food for him.

" Okay." Actually, he had eaten upstairs before coming back. He had been eating all day. Even tasting the dishes was enough to fill him up. Seeing that Wanfeng had left food for him, Cao Xiangnan would still eat some.

It's different with his wife and children around. He feels like going home when he comes back.

Seeing that the little treasure was so happy to see him back, Cao Xiangnan reached out his hand, but he didn't expect that the little guy would climb from Wanfeng's arms to his arms to be held by him. He took the little treasure and said to the child, "Little guy, are you so happy to see me back?"

He remembered that he forgot to ask the shopkeeper Zhong about his boss's family today. This courtyard must have been arranged for them to live in by Fang Ziye. Since the shopkeeper Zhong knew that they came to Fengdu, Fang Ziye must know it too. I

heard from the shopkeeper Fang that Fang Ziye would go to Nanyang several times in previous years, but he has not been to Nanyang since he left at the beginning of this year, and he stayed in Fengdu. Manager Fang was a subordinate and it was not easy for him to ask about his master's affairs. Cao Xiangnan felt a little strange. Based on his understanding of Fang Ziye, Xiao Baoer was with him. It was impossible for him not to go to Nanyang and see Xiao Baoer, unless he was tied up by something. Now he brought Wanfeng and the two little ones to Fengdu. Fang Ziye knew they were here. If Fang Ziye could come to see them, he would definitely come, unless he had a reason not to come. Therefore, Cao Xiangnan was not anxious. He was afraid that Fang Ziye knew that Xiao Baoer was brought to Fengdu by him, and he was more anxious to see Xiao Baoer than he was.

"Ah ah..." Xiao Baoer answered him and spoke to him seriously.

Unfortunately, Cao Xiangnan didn't understand. He was also talking to Xiao Baoer with a smile. The little guy is a little older now, and he doesn't recognize people as much as he did when he was little. But the child has seen more people outside, so he is not so afraid of giving birth. This will have some influence. If Fang Ziye intends to keep Xiao Baoer with him, Cao Xiangnan will not refuse. After all, not everyone can give birth to such a beautiful child. He picked up a beautiful little thing for nothing.

"Where is Lele?"

"In the house."

The two talked as they walked into the house. Qi Wanfeng followed her husband in.

After walking in, Cao Xiangnan found that the layout of the house was similar to the house they built in Fenshui. There was also a fireplace on the wall. The tables and chairs in the house were made of mahogany, which were many times better than the furniture he had randomly placed at home.

The things placed in the house were exquisite and small, which showed that the person who decorated it had put a lot of effort into it. Needless to say, this house was decorated by Fang Ziye.

Qi Wanfeng, who was following behind his husband, saw his husband looking at the house, and he said, "Husband, this yard, I think Ziyu had someone arrange it for us." When he walked in today, he also found that this house was similar to their home in Fenshui. It must have been arranged by Ziyu. As soon as he came here, he waited for his husband to come with peace of mind, and he didn't worry about anything.

"Yes, he is thoughtful." Cao Xiangnan nodded and said.

The little Baoer, who was still ignorant of the world, did not know that the person his uncle and grandmother were talking about was his mother.
