The weather in Nanyang City is colder. Fenshui is a small place after all, and the news is not as good as this Nanyang City. It was only when Cao Xiangnan arrived in Nanyang that he heard about Fengdu.
Last time they left Fengdu in a hurry, and they didn't know what happened afterwards. After arriving in Nanyang, Cao Xiangnan learned that Feng Fuyin was arrested and the people in Feng's family were burned to death. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't know whether they were really burned to death or faked, but in the end, everyone died. The matter
of Sun Shaoye of Sun Guogong's Mansion, the final target is probably Sun Guogong, even Sun Guogong is now in prison, and I don't know what will happen after this. In this world where the emperor is supreme, if the emperor wants you to die, you cannot live; if the emperor wants you to live, you cannot die. That’s about it.
The emperor of the Feng Dynasty is old, the crown prince has not yet been appointed, and the princes are all grown up. It is conceivable that everyone wants to be the emperor, but
who knows who will have the ability in the end. Although the matter of the Feng Mansion seems small, I don’t know what people and things are involved. At that time, Shen Zhengyang’s uncle in the palace asked them to leave Fengdu immediately. It must be that the noble Shen knew the connection behind it, so he was anxious to send them away.
Now thinking about it, it was just a small conflict on the street, but it turned out that so many people died later. Cao Xiangnan was also very shocked. They were inadvertently used as a knife by others, but fortunately someone protected them from behind, so they did not lose their lives in Fengdu City. Otherwise, it would not be the dozens of people in Feng Mansion who died today, but their lives.
A trip to Fengdu, it turned out that they walked on the edge of a knife.
That day, they were "invited" to meet the Wing King Feng Lingxiao, and the Wing King immediately mentioned Xiao Baoer, which made Cao Xiangnan afraid of the Wing King. Unexpectedly, the Wing King had already known about the existence of Xiao Baoer, and even Fang Ziye himself probably didn't know. He thought it was hidden well, but he didn't know that the child's matter had already been known.
It was also the idea of the master to let him take Xiao Baoer to Yipinzhai. Unexpectedly, Fang Ziye was there the next day, and the father and son naturally met. Maybe even Fang Ziye didn't know that this "coincidence" was arranged by the master.
From this point of view, His Royal Highness the Wing King has long known that Xiao Baoer was being raised by him, and that person had no intention of taking the child back. Cao Xiangnan suddenly had a feeling that the person was probably leaving a way out for himself. If he failed, at least he still had a son and a root here.
Thinking of the His Royal Highness the Wing King he met that day, Cao Xiangnan still couldn't forget the man's demeanor, and knew that he was not an ordinary person. Later, when he learned the identity of that gentleman, it also confirmed his original guess.
He had a hunch that he would meet that person again. No matter
who is the emperor in this world, the people live the same life, and the people don't care about these things.
After knowing the identity of that gentleman, Cao Xiangnan was no longer surprised why Fang Ziye's business could spread throughout the Feng Dynasty. And he himself had already boarded the boat of the King of Wings without knowing it, and it was too late for him to get off after he knew it. In fact, he got to where he is today thanks to Fang Ziye's help. To turn around, he also relied on the King of Wings to have a meal.
Now that he has sorted out the twists and turns of the relationship, Cao Xiangnan naturally hopes that His Royal Highness the King of Wings can sit on the throne and become the emperor. He just wants to make a little money and live a good life. If that person becomes the emperor, it will only be good for him and not bad.
But if that person becomes the emperor, I don't know how to deal with the relationship between him and Fang Ziye, and this is not something he can control. Xiao Baoer is raised in his home, and he has always treated him as his own child. Naturally, he doesn't want the affairs of the master to affect the child. The only thing he can do is to protect Xiao Baoer with all his strength when the time comes.
The emperor is far away, as long as the people over there don't come looking for them, they can live their own lives without any problem.
After coming to Nanyang City for a few days, Cao Xiangnan had almost dealt with the things here, and he was ready to go back to Fenshui. The weather was getting colder day by day, and he was afraid that it would snow soon. He had to go back there before it snowed, and didn't want to waste too much time here.
"You've only been here for a few days, kid, and you want to go back." When Manager Fang heard that he was going back, he glared at him, and then waved his hand like chasing away a fly, "I know you have a lot of things to do, go back, go back as soon as possible before it snows."
Manager Fang arranged his own boat for him to go, which was also safer.
This time he brought a batch of goods from the garment workshop, but they were sold out in a few days. Several shopkeepers came to him in person to ask for goods. Cao Xiangnan threw his hands together to show that there was nothing he could do. He could only promise to have Fenshui deliver the next batch of goods as soon as possible. Shopkeeper
Jiang talked to him for a long time, meaning that he should also set up a workshop in Nanyang City. Cao Xiangnan also had this idea, but even if he had this idea, he would have to wait until next year. The two agreed to discuss this matter after the beginning of spring next year.
The shops in Nanyang City still have to open for business. This is different from Fenshui. There are few people on the streets in winter. Here, there are people on the streets in winter. Naturally, there is business. It is unreasonable for businessmen not to do business.
"You go back first. I'll stay here. I need someone to take care of this place." Knowing that Xiangnan was going to go back, Sun Ji meant that he should stay in the Nanyang Urban Management Store. This man seemed to have forgotten that he came to Nanyang right after his wedding. It looked like he didn't even plan to go home.
"Look, when the New Year is almost over, we'll close the store and you guys can go back to celebrate the New Year." Cao Xiangnan didn't want to let the newlyweds be separated for so long. If they couldn't travel by water, they could go by land.
A few new stores were opened later this year, and it was not realistic to close the store now. There were still several months to go, and the business had to be done until the New Year. Then he could go back to celebrate the New Year and come back. It would be spring.
The Nanyang store was handed over to Sun Ji, and Cao Xiangnan was not worried that Sun Ji would run the store bankrupt. Over the past year, the investment in Nanyang has basically been slowly paying off. He was right in choosing Sun Ji. Sun Ji was born to be a businessman.
He also knew that, apart from being a little smart, he might not be better than Sun Ji in doing business.
"Well, we'll make arrangements based on the situation when the time comes." Sun Ji said.
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Cao Xiangnan gave a general account of the situation in the store. Cao Xiangnan had something else to do later, so Cao Xiangnan left Sun Ji
's place. Standing at the door, Sun Ji stood there without moving when he saw the person leaving.
He knew that Wei Qi had come with Xiangnan this time, and they had met once, but they didn't say a word. Since it was his own choice at the beginning, it was useless for him to say more now.
The missing piece in his heart left a hole there. Only when he woke up in the middle of the night, he could lick the pain in his heart. He felt so sad. He didn't want to go back home, and he couldn't see the person in his heart. It was all his own fault. He couldn't blame anyone else.
The sun set. When the sun went down, the stalls on the street were closed and the vendors went home. Nanyang City suddenly became much emptier. The wind was strong outside, blowing the sand and people on the street were in a hurry.
The man in black standing on a high place leaning against a pillar, with his arms around his chest, looked up at the clouds in the west that gradually disappeared. It was getting dark, and the lanterns hanging on the street were swaying in the wind. A horse-drawn carriage passed by the street, and the wheels made a sound of rolling. The sound of horse hooves went away, farther and farther away. The man standing on the high place was no longer there without knowing when.
The knock on the door broke the tranquility of the night, and the person in the house paused in taking off his clothes. The person outside the door stood there patiently, waiting for the person inside to open the door. Finally, the door was opened from the inside.
Sun Ji looked at the person outside the door, and was not surprised that it was this person. The two looked at each other in silence.
It was not even dawn outside, and the person in the house got up.
The oil lamp on the table was not lit, and it was pitch black inside. The person who was still lying on the bed also turned over and hugged the man who was getting dressed from behind. Gan Weiqi paused, turned around and wanted to hug the man in his arms, but the man quietly retreated and said, "You shouldn't have come."
"I know." After a long while, the man said.
In the darkness, the two people stood opposite each other, two steps away, like a ravine between them.
With a sigh, the tall figure took two steps forward and hugged the man in his arms. Sun Ji hugged the person who was hugging him tightly with both hands, crying silently. The front of his chest was wet with tears, and Gan Weiqi's throat rolled up and down.
The door opened, and the man in the room left.
The man standing in the room stared blankly at the open door, watching the departing figure disappear in front of him.
It was still dark in the morning, and the boat moored at the pier was about to set sail, and the people at the pier were about to board the boat and go back.
"Ah, aren't you going back with me? Where are you going?" Cao Xiangnan was still a little dazed when he heard Gan Weiqi say that he would not go back to Fenshui with him, and asked, "Are you going to stay in Nanyang City?"
He always felt that Gan Weiqi was a little weird today, and he couldn't tell what was wrong. He thought Gan Weiqi didn't go back to Fenshui with him because he wanted to stay in Nanyang for a few more days.
"No." Gan Weiqi shook his head, "I have something to do." He said. He came to say goodbye to Cao Xiangnan, not to go back to Fenshui with him. "I'll ask you to take care of Wei Lin for me, and let him wait for me in Caojia Village."
There were generals and Cao Xiangnan in Caojia Village, so he felt relieved to leave his brother there.
"Huh?" Before Cao Xiangnan could react, he saw Gan Weiqi bowed to him with both hands, then got on his horse and rode away.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Wait a minute, let's make it clear, where are you going? How can I explain to
Gan Weilin if you ask me to go back? Where can I find a big brother for Gan Weilin? Cao Xiangnan watched the man disappear in front of him helplessly. It was not right for him to chase him, as Gan Weiqi had made it clear that he would not go to Caojia Village with him. Looking up
at the sky, the boat here was about to leave. Cao Xiangnan looked at the people who had left and had no choice but to get on the boat. Didn't Gan Weiqi say he would come back to Caojia Village? Then let's wait for him to come back.
