Chapter 203 Chapter 203 It’s Not OK to Scold His Husband
Grandpa Qi and Grandma Qi were taken to the third floor by Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Xiubu. The two old people didn't say anything. They loved their grandson very much and listened to whatever he said.
Qi's mother smiled and asked, "What are you doing on the third floor?"
Qi Xiufu smiled and took Grandma Qi's arm. "It's Yunfan. My third brother said Yunfan can make fireworks. Fireworks are really beautiful things that fly up into the sky. In short, he said they were the most beautiful things he'd ever seen. So, he asked Yunfan to prepare some for Grandpa's birthday."
These surprises can now be told.
Qi Xiufu had never seen fireworks, he had only seen balloons. He didn't know how high those balloons could fly, but Qi Xiu Ze said that fireworks were more beautiful than balloons.
To be honest, he was looking forward to it too.
Qi's mother immediately became interested. "Fireworks? What are those things? Xiu Ze praised them so highly, so they must be good. I have to go see them."
The others who had not yet left heard this and were confused. Fireworks?
What is that?
It was actually the most beautiful thing Qi Xiuze had ever seen? Was that really that exaggerated?
To be honest, when many people heard this, they secretly thought that Qi Xiu Ze's words were exaggerated, but driven by curiosity, some people still followed Qi Yuanyang to the third floor, talking and laughing.
When they reached the third floor, they found that there were already quite a few people standing by the fence.
As soon as nine o'clock arrived, two rows of lanterns lit up instantly on both sides of the river bank below the restaurant. At the same time, the lights in the restaurant behind them dimmed, and everyone's attention was attracted by the light of the river bank.
When people saw the lanterns that could be seen everywhere in the capital every night, they were actually disappointed.
That’s it??!!
Qi Xiu Ze was kidding them. It was just two rows of lanterns. Was it worth him saying that it was the most beautiful scene he had ever seen in his life?
It's so disappointing.
Just when they were secretly disappointed, suddenly a hissing sound was heard, and soon, a thick smoke came out from a few small things on the river bank and rushed straight into the sky.
Before they could ask what was going on, there were suddenly several rustling sounds, and something flew up into the night sky. Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to the air, and there were bang bang bang sounds following closely.
At that moment, the entire sky was illuminated.
The exploding fireworks, like stars, sparkled with colorful lights, exploding in the air with a brightness that no one had ever seen before. When the stars fell, the sound of Bilibala that touched people's hearts was heard again, and the air lit up again, as if a dazzling meteor streaked across the sky, leaving behind a dazzling tail of light.
Soon, the second sound was heard, and the peaceful night was completely broken.
Such a shocking scene left everyone in shock for a long time until the first fireworks ended.
"Is it over? No, I haven't seen enough." The guy who spoke was very regretful. Why did such a beautiful thing disappear in such a short time?
"Oh my god, are these fireworks? They're so beautiful, really beautiful. Look, so many people are watching them."
Yes, putting six pieces at once must have caused quite a commotion. People who were shopping nearby at night stopped and even came over to watch.
All of a sudden, everyone started talking about it, and those who didn't know were curious about what this was and why it was so beautiful.
Grandpa Qi's hands trembled. "Are these the fireworks Yunfan prepared?"
"Yes, Grandpa, do you think it looks good?" Qi Xiufu laughed. Actually, there was no need to ask this question. You could tell by the way his grandfather was still looking up. The fireworks were gone, but he couldn't take his eyes off them.
In all his life, this was the first time that Grandpa Qi had seen such a thing. It was impossible for him to say that he didn't like it. Even modern people still think that this thing is beautiful after seeing it many times, such as setting it off at weddings, celebrations, and the New Year. Not to mention the ancients who had never seen fireworks.
"It's beautiful, it's beautiful, this kid has a lot of heart."
Grandma Qi: "It's really beautiful. This is the first time I've seen one in my life. It's a pity that it's gone now." She hasn't seen enough.
Qi Xiufu smiled and said, "It's not over yet. Yunfan said that the first batch of fireworks is just to calm the mood. He said the second batch of fireworks will be even better."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded again, as if to suit the occasion.
This time the fireworks were different from the last time. This time the fireworks were set off on the other side of the river. Although they were a little farther away, the fireworks were bigger and flew higher.
There was a loud "bang". Wow, at that moment, in the sight of everyone on the third floor, the houses half a mile away were clearly illuminated.
The huge fireworks bloomed, attracting countless exclamations.
After the second round of fireworks ended, no one was speechless. Everyone's breathing quickened and their faces turned red with excitement.
"Grandma, watch carefully."
Qi Xiuyuan reminded.
As soon as he gave the reminder, more than a hundred Kongming lanterns rose up in an orderly manner. More than a hundred Kongming lanterns were enough to illuminate the entire area within people's sight.
"Wow, look, look, what is that?"
"I don't know, what is that? It can fly, and there are so many of them! So beautiful!!"
"Oh my god, this...can I reach out and grab one? It's so beautiful."
As far as the eye could see, hundreds of balloons of various colors flew up. Soon, several large bunches of balloons tied together flew up. When the scrolls hanging below fell, everyone could clearly see that all the scrolls were filled with blessings to Mr. Qi.
Now those who are unaware of the situation don’t have to guess who is behind all this.
Xu Yunfan had been waiting the entire time, even waving to a servant who was looking down at him, "Put a few bouquets here for me later, I want them."
"Okay, Master Xu, you wait."
The servants in charge of setting off balls and fireworks had great respect for Xu Yunfan and listened to whatever he said.
After a while, several large bunches of balloons flew up. Xu Yunfan quickly grabbed a bunch and put it into Qin Run's hand. Qi Xiu Ze and others followed suit and grabbed some.
Seeing this, others followed suit and tried to grab it, but unfortunately, their hands were too slow and they failed to catch it. They could only look at Qin Run with envy.
Oh, it's good to have a husband!
Qin Run was looked at with envy by everyone, and his face turned red as if it was about to burn.
The time for the last round of fireworks has arrived. It still starts with one firework display, which is inspired by the previous two rounds of fireworks. This time, everyone is more excited.
Qin Run was looking at the fireworks, but Xu Yunfan turned his head and kept staring at Qin Run, just like that until the fireworks ended.
That night, Old Qi was so happy that he was envied by many people. Qi Yuanyang looked at his proud and happy old father with mixed feelings in his heart. His affection for Xu Yunfan reached a new level. As a father, he felt very relieved that his third son had such a friend. Just for the surprise prepared by Xu Yunfan tonight, if Xu Yunfan had any problems in the future, their Qi family would definitely lend a hand.
Because of this thought, when Xu Yunfan really needed help in the future, the Qi family and Qin Runju did their best to help Xu Yunfan overcome the difficulties.
Without their help, Xu Yunfan would have to rely solely on the court for the food and fodder he needed, and the soldiers would probably have to starve to death.
As the fireworks ended, the topic about the fireworks had just begun, and even Fu Qingyu in the palace heard about it.
Some people asked the Qi family and learned that these fireworks were prepared by Xu Yunfan. Some people wanted to buy them from Xu Yunfan, but no matter how high the price they offered, Xu Yunfan shook his head and refused.
Xu Yunfan pushed Qin Run and signaled Qin Run to say something with his eyes. The moment Qin Run received Xu Yunfan's signal, perhaps it was really a case of telepathy between husband and wife. He suddenly understood why Xu Yunfan wanted to make such a big splash. Otherwise, he could have asked the Qi family to keep the fireworks a secret.
Qin Run had been with Xu Yunfan for a long time, so he could talk without blushing. "We don't have fireworks anymore, but we still have a lot of other things in our store. If you need anything or are curious, you can go to the Yunrun store and have a look."
Anyone who came to attend Mr. Qi's birthday celebration tonight would be a wealthy and powerful person. Even if they were not as wealthy as other important figures, they were definitely richer than ordinary people. Qin Run said, "In a few days, Yunrun's shop will sell high-quality silver frost charcoal. Anyone who needs it should remember to patronize our shop."
"What? Yunrun Store sells Silver Frost Charcoal? Bro, are you serious?"
"It's absolutely true, because I'm the owner of the Yunrun store. What I said tonight is absolutely true. Our store not only sells Silver Frost charcoal, but also candies, dried fruits, and more."
Qin Run took the opportunity to advertise Yunrun Store. Sure enough, all kinds of food shipped to the capital by cargo ship were sold out within half a quarter of an hour as soon as they were put on the shelves.
Yunrun store is different from other stores. Not to mention the difference in the food it sells, the decoration of this store is very popular. Many guys like to come to Yunrun store to drink a glass of juice, or order two bowls of hot and sour noodles, and then have a drink after eating and drinking. They will leave after they are full.
As old customers of Yunrun Store, they learned the day before yesterday that Yunrun Store had new food on the shelves today, and they wanted to come and see what was available. However, the next day, when these guys arrived outside Yunrun Store, they found that the store was so crowded that they couldn't even squeeze in. Later, they finally squeezed in, but... there was really nothing left.
The Yunrun store had gained some fame in the capital. Before the Silver Frost Charcoal was put on the shelves, Qin Run had originally planned to take advantage of the popularity to buy a few more shops on the street in the next few days.
But the rent of shops in the capital is not comparable to that in the county or small town. Qin Run brought a lot of silver this time, which can be said to be his entire fortune. However, more than two thousand taels is only enough for one year's rent.
Thinking of the food city that Xu Yunfan mentioned, Qin Run gave up the idea of renting a shop and planned to spend all his money on the development of the farm.
Building a food city is easier said than done.
Xu Yunfan and Qin Run discussed and drew together for a long time before they finally produced a satisfactory drawing.
Although they are very busy, Xu Yunfan is good at finding time to relax.
This time when he came to Beijing, he was just an ordinary little man. I am afraid that he will not have such leisure time next time he comes to Beijing.
Although I am busy, I have finally come to the capital with my husband. It would be unreasonable not to make a few appointments with him.
Xu Yunfan took some time off and prepared a travel guide for Beijing. He took Qin Run on a tour, eating and drinking there. He would go out every morning and return home with trembling legs in the evening.
Qin Run was also very tired. He couldn't understand why shopping was more tiring than working in the fields, while Xu Yunfan was having a lot of fun. He was interested in everything he saw and would join in the fun. If there was anything interesting or fun, he would buy two. It was a rare opportunity for him to come here, and it would be unreasonable not to bring back some gifts for his two brothers-in-law.
Xu Yunfan was shopping all the time. He bought some small gadgets which were not expensive, but Xu Yunfan was interested in everything he looked at. Qin Run could hardly bear to accompany him shopping for a whole day.
Two days before they were about to go back, Xu Yunfan and Qin Runxiang sneaked in through the hole in the wall, just like last time. Just as they squatted down and were about to lie down, a stone suddenly hit their buttocks. Xu Yunfan whimpered in pain and jumped up like a rebound. He rubbed his buttocks and looked around: "Who is this shameless bastard? How dare you sneak attack my buttocks? Shame on you."
Xiao Ba, who was hiding in the dark, twitched his lips. Shameless? Shameless?
Listening to what Xu Yunfan said, where else should I spank him if not his butt?
"Yunfan, we've been discovered." Qin Run looked up at the guard who had appeared on the courtyard wall and was staring at them. He looked at the guard and pulled Xu Yunfan's sleeve with one hand.
Xu Yunfan looked up. The social tough guy was always very friendly. "Hey, are you guys still working? Then you guys keep busy. We'll be leaving now. We won't disturb you any more."
As Xu Yunfan pulled Qin Run and was about to leave, someone jumped down and said, "Wait, Master Xu, Master Qin, since you are here, why don't you come in and sit down?"
Xu Yunfan turned around and asked, "Do you have to be so polite?"
It was not surprising that this person knew their names. On the day they arrived, they had avoided the guards but not the people who were secretly watching them. It was normal for someone to check on them.
When Qin Run was "invited" to the Xiao Mansion, he was still confused. Aren't all the guards nowadays so easy to talk to? Or did Xiao Hengzhi tell them something?
Xu Yunfan probably guessed something, so he had someone make him a pot of tea. "Excuse me, do you have any pastries or snacks here? I'm a little hungry, could you give me some?"
Qin Run didn't eat much tonight. He would be leaving Beijing in two days, and he would have to wait until the second half of next year to see Xiao Hengzhi again. Thinking of this, Qin Run lost his appetite.
Xu Yunfan didn't let Qin Run eat more at that time. After all, he didn't have the appetite. But that didn't mean he didn't miss him. The guards left in a hurry, and it was hard to say how long they would have to wait. He couldn't let Qin Run go hungry all the time.
As the saying goes, "Anyone who comes to someone's house is a guest." Xu Yunfan felt a little embarrassed to say this, but he didn't say anything. Judging from the other people's attitude, it seemed that they had no intention of offering them anything. If he hadn't asked, let alone snacks, they wouldn't even be able to drink a sip of tea.
After all, Xu Yunfan was born into a wealthy family. Whenever he visited someone's house, no one would receive him warmly. Even an ordinary family would at least serve him some fruits. But in this royal palace, he had to ask for even a sip of tea.
The way the palace treats guests is not good!
She had worked as a maid in the Xiao Mansion for several years and was also close to the old lady, but she was called by the guards to entertain two people who didn't know any etiquette at all. The maid was holding her breath, and when she saw that the two people being entertained were wearing the same servants' clothes, she felt even more uncomfortable.
She had been in the Xiao Mansion for so many years and had never seen such a shameless guest.
Dressed like that, they actually dared to ask for snacks. It was really unpresentable. Because of this sentence, the maid probably guessed that these two people were probably not famous young masters. Young masters from ordinary families would "behave properly" when they came to the prince's mansion. They would never overstep their boundaries, let alone ask for food. They would eat whatever the host put out, and they actually asked.
After some analysis, the maid knew how to treat people according to their needs. After all, she was also an "old person" in the palace. The old lady was old and had many things she wanted to do but was unable to do them. She had to hand over some things to the capable people around her, and she was one of them. However, she was called here tonight to receive two people who were not up to the standard.
The annoyed maid rolled her eyes and said, "Snacks? It's this late, how can we have snacks? Besides, the snacks in our palace are not ordinary snacks. They will be gone after the time limit. If you two are hungry, there are still some steamed buns in the kitchen. Do you want any?"
"Oh, forget it. The palace is so poor that it doesn't even have tea or snacks to entertain guests. This is really eye-opening for us. Your palace has too many rules. People like us from humble backgrounds can't stand it. Yunfan, let's go."
It's okay to talk about him, scold him, ridicule him, and look down on him, Qin Run is used to it, but it's not okay to ridicule Xu Yunfan or talk about Xu Yunfan!
Why should his treasure be abused by others?
Even people from the palace are not allowed!
Thinking of Xiao Hengzhi's poison, he really didn't eat much tonight. On the way here, he was indeed hungry. Xu Yunfan said that he would take him to eat something first, but he refused because he wanted to see Xiao Hengzhi as soon as possible. So, how could he not know that Xu Yunfan was not greedy, nor was he thinking about other people's snacks, he just didn't want to wait on an empty stomach.
Xu Yunfan is such a good person, but Qin Run couldn't tolerate it because he was bullied and looked down upon.
She was just a maid in the palace, yet she dared to show disdain to her husband. To put it bluntly, the maid only dared to show disdain to them because they had no status. Qin Run didn't think so before, but after coming to the capital, he really discovered how important identity is.
He should have been a noble young master. If he was not a village boy, why would the people here look down on him and his husband?
If he had status and power, he wouldn't have to be so timid and afraid of embarrassing himself at the Qi family dinner...
At this moment, Qin Run had a desire for power, and he must take back what belonged to him.
He wanted an identity, not for power or wealth, but just to avoid being inferior to others and to give Xu Yunfan the confidence to walk around in the world.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Qin Run stood up quickly and said in a bad tone, "You're just a servant, you think you're the master? There are so many birds in the forest."
