Chapter 343 This is a big fish
Feng Jing was sitting at the doorstep basking in the sun when he suddenly opened his eyes because the light was blocked. He was about to ask someone to move away when he saw two girls getting off the carriage, one pink and one white. The one in the white dress had a veil covering her face.
"Take down the gift." The masked girl softly instructed the maid, turned her head to meet Feng Jing's gaze, her eyes turned slightly, and she nodded gently.
"Who are you looking for?" Feng Jing stood up from the threshold, looked at the gifts held by the maid, and thought that these two people should be the young lady of the Huang family who was rescued by Lu Fei.
It's a pity that he was drunk last night and didn't go, so he missed the fun.
Last night, the servants had discovered that the inn was booked by a young master named Wang, so the masked girl said, "Young Master Wang saved me last night, and I didn't have time to thank you enough. I've come to visit you today. Please let me know."
Obviously she mistook Feng Jing for Xiao Jingfan's follower.
Feng Jing didn't care. Just because he didn't see the excitement last night didn't mean there wouldn't be excitement this morning. He rolled his eyes and said, "Wait."
Seeing him turn around and walk in without even inviting them in to wait for tea in the lobby, the masked girl didn't react, but the girl in the pink skirt blushed in anger: "You don't even know this little bit of etiquette, sister, let's go back."
She reached out and grabbed the masked girl's sleeve, shaking it and trying to drag her away.
"Ying'er." The masked girl's tone became three points heavier. "We came here uninvited and didn't send anyone to deliver a visiting card in advance. We are just waiting for a moment. Don't make trouble."
Huang Ying pouted, and although she was still dissatisfied, she didn't say anything back.
On the other side, Feng Jing went upstairs and knocked on the door of the guest room.
"Enter."
Feng Jing pushed the door open and walked in.
In the room, Chu Liuzheng and Chen Xing were packing their boxes, while Xiao Jingfan was sitting by the window reading a book with a cup of tea at hand.
Feng Jing walked over and said, "Master, the two girls from the Huang Mansion came last night with a thank-you gift. Would you like to see them?"
【Oh, peach blossoms have come to my door. 】
Chu Liuzheng slowed down his packing and pricked up his ears to eat the melon.
Xiao Jingfan:?
[Tsk tsk, that tyrant's face is so alluring! Just one extra glance at him in the crowd and Miss Huang has remembered him for three whole years. What a sin!]
If the Tyrant had gone out without a mask last night, Miss Huang would have recognized him. Help... er, no, I can repay your kindness with my body. If this were in a storybook, it would be a classic drama about a talented scholar and a beautiful woman!
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
"No." His eyes were fixed on the pages of the book without even raising his head.
Feng Jing curled his lips in regret. Well, I can’t watch the fun anymore.
He was about to go downstairs to ask them to leave, but Xiao Jingfan told Chu Liuzheng, "You go."
Chu Liuzheng didn't understand why she had to go, but she still handed the things to Chen Xing and followed Feng Jing downstairs.
The two girls from the Huang Mansion were still waiting at the door of the inn, with guards coming and going.
Feng Jing pointed outside the door and said, "That's them. The medicine in the kitchen is about to start steaming. I'll go check it out."
Seeing the two of them waiting outside the door in such a dull manner, Chu Liuzheng said helplessly, "Why don't you ask them to wait in the lobby?" At least ask the waiter to bring a pot of tea.
Feng Jing said, "Guard Lu said no outsiders are allowed in."
Okay.
Chu Liuzheng walked towards the door, his eyes swept over the two of them, and he bowed with a faint smile: "Excuse me, young ladies."
"Hmph, we are indeed polite, unlike some people who don't even know how to entertain guests." Huang Ying was already impatient, folding her arms and looking at her sideways.
Chu Liuzheng didn't take it seriously, but Huang Ting, who was wearing a white dress, scolded him, "Ying'er, don't be rude!"
Huang Ying snorted, turned around, climbed onto the carriage, and went away sulking.
"Ying'er has been spoiled by her family. I just said it unintentionally. Please don't take it to heart." Huang Ting returned a half-bow to Chu Liuzheng and signaled the maid to present the gift.
This time, Chu Liuzheng didn't push the person out. He accepted the gift and invited the person into the lobby, then waved to the waiter to serve tea.
Huang Ting looked at her secretly. She hadn't noticed it before, but now she realized that although Chu Liuzheng was dressed simply and elegantly without any jewelry, the material of her clothes was very expensive, and even some rich ladies couldn't afford to wear them.
Even a maid is dressed so well, who is this young master Wang?
Huang Ting pondered secretly, because her face was covered by the veil, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
Chu Liuzheng poured her tea.
Huang Ting looked around the lobby, then towards the stairs and asked, "Is Young Master Wang not available right now?"
"Miss, you came at an unfortunate time. My young master is meeting friends and has no time to see you."
Chu Liuzheng thought that the girl was quite sincere and wanted to express her gratitude, so there was no need to lose face and he could just send her away politely.
She showed a perfect smile on her face: "I will definitely convey your gratitude to the young master. Please have a cup of tea and take a rest, then go back."
Although she had expected this, Huang Ting was still a little disappointed.
She came here today not only to express her gratitude, but also to see Young Master Wang again and see the face under the mask.
Last night she felt that this Young Master Wang was very similar to the person she had remembered for three years.
If so, she didn't want to miss it.
"Then I won't bother you anymore." Huang Ting couldn't bear to pester him any further, so she stood up and said goodbye.
Chu Liuzheng saw her out and watched the carriage leave before going upstairs to report to Xiao Jingfan.
Of course, the gift was not forgotten.
Chen Xing, who had already packed up his things, came over and asked curiously, "What gifts are there?"
"Some tonic herbs." Chu Liuzheng opened one of the red boxes and showed it to her. After a quick estimate, he knew that the value of these gifts was no less than one thousand taels.
Chen Xing picked up a ginseng of good quality and examined it carefully: "This Huang family is quite wealthy."
Chu Liuzheng deeply agreed with this.
Just a casual gift would cost thousands of taels, and even if you don't have money, you can't afford to spend like this.
[What kind of business does this Huang Mansion do? ]
She looked through the system curiously.
[Oh, they sell porcelain and tea. Business seems to be pretty good.]
Chu Liuzheng felt strange. The Huang family had only become rich during the Huang family's generation. Without the accumulation of previous generations, how could the profits calculated in the system allow a young lady to be so generous?
Is there any underground business going on?
She continued to search in the system, and suddenly stopped.
Her eyes fell on the gossip that had just been turned over. After she realized what she was seeing, her eyes couldn't help but widen slowly.
[Frog fun! The Huang family is actually helping the pirates on Moon Island sell stolen goods and taking a cut of the profits!]
Selling stolen goods!
When Xiao Jingfan heard this, his fingers tightened and the flat pages of the book wrinkled instantly. If he had not let go in time, it would probably have been torn.
He didn't care about his precious book and listened attentively to his inner voice.
[No wonder the Huang family is so wealthy. This Mr. Huang is actually a close friend of the pirate second-in-command. The bulk of their income comes from shady dealings.]
[This guy appears to be an honest businessman, but in reality, the bulk of his profits come from reselling goods stolen by pirates. He sails out to sea every two months just to go to Wangyue Island to pick up the goods.]
[Oh my goodness, this is a big fish! ]
Chu Liuzheng's eyes sparkled. He didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.
If we can capture Mr. Huang, won't it be possible to enter Wangyue Island without any effort?
It is not a dream to wipe out the pirates with minimal casualties!
