September 20th was already the fourth day since Hua Qingcheng and her husbands returned to Huaqiao Village.
The early morning sunlight shines into the simple and elegant courtyard. Qiu Fu, Qiu Ming and Shan You in the flower house start a new day of busyness. Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Two days ago, Hua's mother and father had moved back to the Hua family residence in the east of the village. Feng Wen and Feng Wu also stayed behind, taking on the responsibility of protecting them. As for Kang Fulai, he would go to the Hua family residence in the morning to clean, cook for the schoolchildren at noon, and return to the Hua residence at the end of the village in the afternoon to take care of Feng Lingyan.
Today seemed no different from the previous days, except that on the road from Baishui Town to Huaqiao Village, there was a low-key and luxurious carriage rumbling towards Huaqiao Village.
"Cousin, is this where the owner of Feng Man Lou, the restaurant that provides you with vegetables and snacks from Jing Hua Yuan, lives?"
In the carriage, Pei Zijun, dressed in moon-white brocade, gently raised his bare hands to open the carriage curtains, curiously gazing at the fields lining the country road where late rice was already being harvested. Children busily gathered rice ears, chickens, ducks, and geese scrambled happily around, catching insects, playing, and even running around. Occasionally, cattle and sheep passed by, their mooing and bleating cries.
As the carriage continued to move forward, the passengers could see wisps of smoke rising from the village ahead. It was the villagers who had been busy weeding the fields or watering the vegetable patches, and were returning home to cook breakfast.
"Yes, cousin. The village ahead is Huaqiao Village, where Miss Qingcheng's home is." The handsome young man in blue sitting next to Pei Zijun said patiently.
This person was none other than the slimmed-down young master of Feng Man Lou—Yang Kaitai. However, he was now a handsome young man, no longer the fat and bloated Yang Xiaopang.
Pei Zijun's father Liu Ying'an and Yang Kaitai's father Liu Yeqing are cousins, so Pei Zijun and Yang Kaitai can also be considered cousins, but their blood relationship is more distant.
Although Pei Zijun's father, Liu Ying'an, only supported the entire Pei family business as a concubine, he possessed considerable skill and determination in business. After the death of Pei's mother and her husband, the Pei family's business not only did not decline, but under Liu Ying'an's management, it even reached a new level.
As Liu Ying'an's only son, Pei Zijun was naturally influenced by his father from a young age, possessing his own unique insights and approaches to business. He had even heard of the recent popularity of Jinghuayuan snacks in Fufeng County, even in the capital. After an on-site inspection, Pei Zijun was very optimistic about the small shop's potential.
Pei Zijun had accompanied Yang Kaitai to the Hua family in Huaqiao Village, intending to discuss business cooperation with Hua Qingcheng, the owner of Jing Hua Yuan Snacks. He planned to open a branch of Jing Hua Yuan Snacks in the capital, just as Yang Kaitai had done, and expand his influence in the catering industry.
"Cousin, this is Huaqiao Village."
At 4:45 PM, Yang Kaitai's carriage arrived at the entrance of Huaqiao Village. This was Yang Kaitai's second visit to Huaqiao Village; the first time was when Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige got married on August 15th, and he came to attend the wedding banquet.
"Cousin, ask the driver to stop for a moment so we can get off and take a walk."
Pei Zijun, a wealthy young man from Beijing, was very curious about country life and wanted to experience and feel the simple and peaceful countryside atmosphere for himself.
"Okay."
Yang Kaitai ordered the coachman to drive the carriage slowly behind, while he and Pei Zijun strolled along the village road of Huaqiao Village.
The two men, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with outstanding looks, as well as the imposing-looking carriage behind them, attracted a lot of attention from the villagers as they walked on the road.
"So this is where those delicious and fragrant vegetables are grown! It's truly a great place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery!"
The autumn air is clear and the breeze is refreshing.
Pei Zijun walked on the path leading to the end of the village. He didn't mind at all that the mud under his feet would dirty the soles of his shoes, nor did he worry about whether his moon-white brocade clothes would be stained by dust.
Looking at the lush green vegetables growing in the fields on both sides of the road, Pei Zijun would even go up to inspect and touch them himself. Growing up in a merchant family in the capital, it was rare for him to have such a leisurely and relaxing time.
"If you like, cousin, you can stay in Fufeng County for a while." Looking at his cousin who was curious about everything, Yang Kaitai couldn't help but smile.
Yang Kaitai and Pei Zijun walked for about a quarter of an hour before finally reaching the Hua residence at the end of the village. Since they had left the house today without a servant, the coachman went to knock on the door.
Upon learning that it was the young master of Fengmanlou who came, Qiu Fu quickly led the two to the main hall in the front yard to serve tea, and then ordered Qiu Ming to go to the backyard to invite the head of the family, Hua Qingcheng.
"Excuse me, Butler Qiu, who designed this house?" Looking at the unique flower house, countless ways to make money flashed through Pei Zijun's mind.
"Young master, you may not know that the buildings in our mansion were all built by our master." Qiu Fu said with some pride.
"I didn't expect that such a unique house could be built in this rural area. The owner really has a very smart mind." Pei Zijun, who was sitting in the guest seat, waved his folding fan lightly, smiling as if bathed in spring breeze.
"Master, Young Master Yang and his friends are here."
While Qiu Fu was greeting guests in the front yard, Qiu Ming also came to the garden in the backyard and found Hua Qingcheng, who was pushing Feng Lingyan's wheelchair while accompanying Mu Lige for a walk, helping him digest his food and basking in the sun.
"Dad, Brother Li, you two should stay in the sun for a while. If you feel hot, go back to the house and rest. I'll go to the front yard to take a look."
Hua Qingcheng squatted in front of Feng Lingyan's wheelchair, gave him and Mu Lige a few instructions, then left Qiu Ming to push Feng Lingyan's wheelchair and went to the front yard alone.
