Fu Xiaoguan returned to Linjiang yesterday.
The father and son drank and talked for a long time. Official Fu was very worried about the advertisements made by the Qi family. He wondered if there was a traitor in his own winery. Otherwise, how could the Qi family dare to say such arrogant words as punching Xiangquan and kicking Tianchun?
Looking at the momentum of the Qi family, they bought a full 300,000 kilograms of grain. I heard that they also bought a lot of eggs, which caused a temporary shortage of eggs in Linjiang. Did this guy come up with a new secret recipe?
If his wine really gets out, how should Yu Fu Ji deal with it?
Official Fu was very anxious because Yu Fu Ji was founded by Yun Qing and now it was flourishing in the hands of his son. This was a symbol of glory and must not collapse.
Fu Xiaoguan, on the other hand, consoled him for a long time, saying that even if the Qi family did succeed in producing a new wine, wouldn't their own wine, even if it entered the imperial market, still be in short supply? It didn't matter. Perhaps if he made such a bold statement but couldn't produce it, wouldn't that make him a huge joke in Linjiang?
Official Fu didn't think it was a joke. Who in business would dare to make a city-wide announcement without being sure of their safety? However, it was a fact that his own wine had entered the imperial merchant market, and the price had not been reduced at all, especially the Xishan Qiongjiang, which was extremely expensive. Thinking of this, Official Fu felt a little relieved.
Then he praised Fu Xiaoguan for what he did in Xiacun, but criticized Fu Xiaoguan for going to the fields barefoot.
Fu Daguan had his opinion on Fu Xiaoguan's plan to build houses for the people of Wangjia Village, but since Fu Xiaoguan had already done so, he didn't say anything. He just said that it would not happen again because my family is a landlord, not a good person.
Fu Xiaoguan didn't take it seriously. Finally, Fu Daguan told him about the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry gathering at the Mountain Academy at midnight. The prefect Liu Zhidong had invited him to it, so he had to go there tomorrow night. After all, he had to give the prefect face.
Fu Xiaoguan agreed, as he also wanted to see how people of this era enjoyed the moon and celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Then the father and son dispersed, and Fu Xiaoguan returned to his room to rest.
I wrote a letter to Dong Shulan ten days ago. I calculated the time and it should be received on the Mid-Autumn Festival. I hope she likes it.
Those talented people will definitely ask him to write poetry again tomorrow night, so now is a good time to think about it.
…
Although the autumn is light, the leaves of the sycamore tree are turning yellow.
After getting up, Fu Xiaoguan still did some exercise. After washing up, he had dinner with Su Mochunxiu and the others.
This was Fu Xiaoguan's strong request, and Chunxiu gradually got used to it. Su Mo of course didn't care.
Fu Xiaoguan looked at Su Mo and suddenly asked, "You eat...is it a habit or intentional? Or are you practicing some kind of martial arts?"
Su Mo was stunned. He glanced at Fu Xiaoguan. This guy actually observed so carefully!
"My family was very poor when I was a child. When I was five, we suffered a disaster: locusts, drought, floods, and then plague. We lost everything, including my parents. I wandered the streets and stole a steamed bun, but no one noticed."
Su Mo said it very calmly, but Fu Xiaoguan understood the hardships behind this calmness.
"A young master from a landlord's family like you would never understand how delicious that steamed bun was to me. I took a small bite and counted thirty-three chews before swallowing it. Any more chewing would make me sick. Thirty-three is just right, that's it."
"Then you went to the Taoist temple?"
"I wandered for a long time, fighting, stealing food, and even... killing people. It wasn't until I was ten that I met my master and was able to enter the Taoist temple."
"Oh, it's pretty miserable, but chewing your cheek thirty-three times will hurt. I've tried it."
Chunxiu didn't say anything, but listened curiously, thinking that Su Mo was not an easy young man.
This time, the two of them talked a little longer, but the originally pleasant breakfast was ended by a voice.
"Fu Xiaoguan! Come out here!"
This is Zhang Pei'er's voice.
Fu Xiaoguan wiped his mouth and chuckled.
Su Mo felt that this person was quite despicable.
There must be something wrong with the wine, and Zhang Pei'er came to vent her anger.
"Let her in."
Chunxiu walked out. Fu Xiaoguan thought for a moment and said to Su Mo, "Bring Li Erniu here later."
"Are you going to show your hand? How are we going to handle it next door?"
"Don't worry about that for now. She's about to give birth. Let her have the baby smoothly."
"OK."
Fu Xiaoguan walked out, bowed to Zhang Pei'er who came in angrily, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhang, please sit down."
Zhang Pei'er sat on the stone bench, her eyes fixed on Fu Xiaoguan, as if there was a beautiful flower on Fu Xiaoguan's face.
Fu Xiaoguan made tea and said, "Actually, I'm not as good as you think. I used to be notorious, but now I've hidden it. Deep down, I'm still a bad person."
"You know everything?"
"Did Qi Yuanming cause you any trouble?"
"You deliberately gave me a fake formula to humiliate me and make me lose miserably—is this what you wanted to see?"
Fu Xiaoguan sighed, "Qi Yuanming is behind all of this. Miss, you are just behind the scenes. Even if his wine is not brewed now, it is the reputation of the Qi family that is damaged. Why do you have to get yourself involved?"
Zhang Pei'er snorted, "Yes, it's the Qi family's reputation that's being ruined. If I don't want them to throw me out, then I have to marry Qi Yuanming. Is this the result you want to see?"
Communicating with this little girl was a real headache. Fu Xiaoguan frowned and said patiently, "First, you're trying to steal my formula. I just set it up casually. I'm not wrong, am I? Second, whatever you want to do, or who you want to marry, is your business. It has nothing to do with me. Do you understand? Or don't you?"
Zhang Pei'er bit her lips tightly, and tears flowed out again.
"You... bastard! You are a bastard!"
Fu Xiaoguan seems very innocent, so how the hell did I become the bastard?
It turns out that only women and villains are difficult to raise!
"Don't be busy crying, let me show you someone."
Su Mo brought Li Erniu up. Fu Xiaoguan pointed at Li Erniu and asked, "Miss Zhang, do you know this person?"
Of course Zhang Pei'er didn't know him and shook her head subconsciously.
"Okay, take it away."
"Young Master, Young Master, I, I am innocent!" Li Erniu shouted.
Fu Xiaoguan stood up and asked, "Oh, you said you were wronged?"
Li Erniu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, "I have wronged you, I have wronged you, I am wronged..."
Fu Xiaoguan frowned, gritted his teeth, grabbed Li Erniu's hand, pressed it on the tea table, pulled out the sword from Su Mo's back, and slashed down with the sword without hesitation.
"ah……!"
Blood splattered all over the table and Zhang Peier's face.
"Ah...!" Zhang Pei'er screamed, stepped back, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Fu Xiaoguan wiped the bloody sword clean on Li Erniu's clothes as if nothing had happened, inserted it into the scabbard on Su Mo's back, looked into Li Erniu's frightened eyes, and smiled, "Remember, you are not wronged!"
Li Erniu raised his left hand, which was broken at the wrist, and hot blood was flowing out.
“Ah…! Ah…!”
"Take him down and bandage him up."
Fu Xiaoguan walked towards Zhang Pei'er, and Zhang Pei'er was so scared that she crawled forward desperately.
"Don't be afraid, get up. Look, I told you I'm not a good person. Now you know. Get up!"
The last three words were spoken with a rather harsh tone, and Zhang Pei'er jumped up in fright.
"From now on, don't bother me with these self-righteous little tricks. I'm very busy. I'm telling you for the last time, if you provoke me again... I will kill you!"
"Go over there and wash your face. A girl with so much blood on her face will scare others. Okay, don't be afraid. Besides, my aunt was deceived by you. This matter has nothing to do with her. I hope you can understand what I mean."
