Chapter 28 Concealment Fang Zhiyue subconsciously did not tell her
Fang Zhiyue directly pushed the small box he had been holding in his arms to her.
"I made these recently, would you mind taking a look?"
Seeing this, Manager Wang’s eyes lit up instantly.
I couldn't wait to open the small box.
After seeing what was inside, his eyes lit up as if they were burning with flames.
She picked a small walnut boat from the box and exclaimed repeatedly, "What a masterpiece! The young master's craftsmanship is truly beyond reach!"
Fang Zhiyue felt embarrassed by her praise.
Holding back her embarrassment, she pointed at the small boat in her hand and whispered, "...The windows on both sides of the boat can be opened. Steward Wang can give it a try."
“Is it so magical?”
Upon hearing this, Manager Wang immediately touched the window on the small boat.
It really can be opened as Fang Zhiyue said.
She was so amazed that she couldn't speak, "...good, good, good!"
It was a long time before he took his eyes off the small boat.
It fell to Fang Zhiyue again, "Young Master, you really solved my urgent need. With these walnut carvings you made, we will definitely have a good start this time."
Her face was full of smiles.
Fang Zhiyue couldn't help feeling happy when he saw how excited she was.
The two spoke a few more words.
Manager Wang couldn't wait any longer and walked downstairs with the small box in his arms.
Fang Zhiyue sat for a while and then got up and went downstairs.
In just a short while, a lot of people came into the shop, and Manager Wang was already very busy.
He didn't bother her.
Walk directly out of the shop.
When I walked to the door, I unexpectedly bumped into a child.
"Ouch--"
The little girl fell on her butt.
Fang Zhiyue quickly bent down to help the person.
"Are you okay?"
As soon as he asked, a woman came over from a distance and hurriedly asked the little girl, "Xiao Ru, what's wrong with you?"
Fang Zhiyue looked up.
When he saw the woman's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The woman was also stunned when she saw him: "My dear, why are you here?"
It was the kind-hearted woman who helped Fang Zhiyue that day.
“…I’m sorry I knocked over your child.”
Fang Zhiyue said apologetically.
The woman came to her senses and first looked at the little girl, then smiled at him. "It's okay, the child is very tough. And it's not your fault, my dear. She ran too fast."
Seeing Fang Zhiyue pursed his lips and smiled, he was about to leave.
Her mind was on fire, and she suddenly asked, "Did my dear move to Yunzhou City recently? To be honest, I've lived in Yunzhou City for over twenty years and I'm very familiar with it. You look a little unfamiliar to me."
"Well, someone in my family is studying at Yunyin Academy and just moved to Yunzhou City a few days ago."
Fang Zhiyue tried several times but couldn't say the word "cousin", so he could only reply vaguely.
"Yunyin Academy is the most famous academy in Yunzhou City. The people in your family are really amazing."
The woman praised and patted the head of the little girl beside her: "My daughter Xiaoru has reached the age of enlightenment, and today I want to sell her some useful things."
"I see..."
Fang Zhiyue responded dryly upon hearing this.
I'm really not good at talking to people.
Fortunately, the woman didn't continue to talk, and quickly said to him: "We will both live in Yunzhou City from now on, maybe we will have the chance to meet again. My last name is Zhao, so if you run into me next time, just call me Sister Zhao."
After saying that, she led the little girl into the shop.
Fang Zhiyue withdrew his gaze and finally walked out.
As soon as I walked down the stairs, I met Shi Qi's gaze.
Shi Qi lowered his eyes, "Master——"
"Go back. You've been standing outside for so long."
The two returned to Jingshui Lane.
For the next few days, Fang Zhiyue locked himself up at home again.
In the meantime, Manager Wang sent someone over.
She said that the small walnut carvings he gave her sold very well and the shop made a lot of money.
This time I came specifically to give him the silver that belonged to him.
Fang Zhiyue was really shocked when he heard what happened next. He had actually given her twenty taels in just a few days.
He repeatedly confirmed whether the errand boy had given the wrong thing, and only after getting the other party's confirmation did he slowly accept it.
The errand boy was obviously also from the shop, and he treated Fang Zhiyue very kindly: "Young master, please keep this money well. I'll come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
After saying that, she smiled slightly and turned away.
After the people had gone far away, Fang Zhiyue finally remembered that he had not invited anyone in for a drink of water.
As expected, he was stunned by this huge sum of money.
He slapped his forehead and turned to go into the house.
Just as he passed through the hanging flower gate, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called Shi Qi over and asked her, "Is Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon?"
"The day after tomorrow is August 15th."
"So, doesn't that mean Sister Yao will be back in the next two days..."
Thinking of what she said to him before she left that day.
Fang Zhiyue instructed Shi Qi, "Shi Qi, remember to remind me tomorrow. Sister Yao will be back soon, and I need to go out and sell some things."
Besides, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and he needs to prepare.
Fang Zhiyue looked down at the silver in his hand.
I couldn't help but purse my lips and smile.
Manager Wang probably knew that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, so he sent someone to give him silver in advance.
*
The next morning, Fang Zhiyue took Shi Qi out.
The two went straight to the butcher's shop.
Perhaps because the festival is approaching, there are a lot of people in front of various raw meat shops.
On the way, Fang Zhiyue and Shi Qi were separated once, but fortunately Shi Qi reacted quickly and found him quickly.
"Shi Qi, why don't you just wait for me under this big tree. I'll come back to find you after I buy the meat."
Fang Zhiyue was squeezed so hard that he was out of breath.
Shi Qi, who was following closely behind him, pointed to the big willow tree not far away.
Afraid that she would disagree, he added, "I'll go to the shops in front. You can see me from a distance."
"…good."
Shi Qi took a look and quickly agreed.
Then he left the crowd and stood under the big willow tree.
Fang Zhiyue didn't look at her again and continued to squeeze into the crowd and walked forward. After some effort, he finally squeezed in front of a shop.
He took a deep breath and said in a loud voice, "Boss, give me two pounds of mutton and one pound of pork."
"My dear?"
A familiar female voice came from above my head.
Fang Zhiyue looked up in surprise and saw a familiar face: "Sister Zhao? Is this your shop?"
"yes--"
Zhao Ling chopped the meat with deft movements. "I didn't expect to run into you again, my dear. We're really destined to be together. Here, take these two pounds of mutton—"
Fang Zhiyue reached out and took it.
She was also surprised by the special fate between the two. "Yes, we have met twice in just a few days. Sister Zhao, please don't call me 'Jun Langjun'. My last name is Fang, so you can just call me Xiao Fang."
"Since you said so, I won't be polite. Xiao Fang——"
She called out, then handed him the remaining pound of pork.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Maybe we'll visit each other often in the future. Take this crucian carp and make crucian carp soup when you get home."
"How can this be possible? I can't accept Sister Zhao..."
Fang Zhiyue quickly declined.
Zhao Ling forced it into his hand and said, "It's not easy to have such a fate. Just treat it as an acquaintance. Come here often in the future."
Fang Zhiyue had no choice but to accept it.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, "Sister Zhao gave me a fish directly. I will definitely come here often in the future. You are busy today, so I won't bother you."
"well…"
Zhao Ling took the time to wave at him.
He didn't look away until he could no longer see the figure.
Seeing her like this, the familiar vendor next door couldn't help but tease her, "Are you finally trying to find a little father for your little Ru?"
"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhao Ling immediately frowned and glared at her shyly: "We just know each other, don't ruin his innocence."
"Okay, okay, just pretend!"
On this side, Fang Zhiyue found Shi Qi with the things and went back home.
After lunch, the two of them ran again, and when they returned home it was already dark.
When Fang Zhiyue saw the unlocked gate, he knew that Si Yao had returned.
He trotted in and called out twice: "Sister Yao, are you back?"
Si Yao opened the door and walked out slowly.
Looking at Fang Zhiyue running towards her, a smile appeared on her face: "Little father, I'm back. Is everything okay at home? Has anything new happened?"
She asked carefully.
Fang Zhiyue didn't hide it from her and spoke directly.
He told her about the trip to Hu's shop and about Manager Wang asking someone to deliver the silver.
Si Yao listened quietly.
Seeing him stop, her eyes were very gentle: "Besides this, is there anything else that happened?"
Fang Zhiyue suddenly thought of Zhao Ling, who had a special connection with him...
He opened his mouth to say something, but stopped abruptly when he met his superior Haruka's dark eyes.
The words turned around when they reached his lips, "...No."
"No more?"
Si Yao noticed that he was hesitant to speak, and his eyes deepened.
Fang Zhiyue nodded and responded softly: "That's all, nothing else."
He didn't know why he didn't mention Zhao Ling to her.
I always feel that it is better not to talk about this matter.
"good…"
Si Yao took in the expression on his face.
After hearing this, he did not continue to ask.
Taking the initiative to change the subject, "I'm a little hungry after rushing back from the academy. What are you going to make for me tonight, little father?"
"You wait in the house first, I will go to cook now."
After being reminded by her, Fang Zhiyue hurried to the small kitchen.
After he walked away, Shi Qi immediately appeared beside Si Yao.
Si Yao looked at her and asked indifferently, "Tell me everything that happened during this period of time, bit by bit."
"yes."
Shi Qi spent half an hour recounting everything that had happened during this period.
Finally, she cupped her hands and said, "My lady, this is everything that has happened during this period of time."
"Okay, you can step back first."
Si Yao waved her away.
The ink-black eyes fell into the void and became somewhat dim.
When Fang Zhiyue brought out the food, he saw her blending into the night as if in a trance.
He paused and called softly, "Sister Yao, it's time to eat."
"good…"
Maybe it was because he stood in the cold wind for too long, but Si Yao's voice sounded a little dry.
She walked out of the darkness step by step and took the food from his hand.
"Little father, go back and get the dishes and chopsticks. I'll take them to the main house first."
