My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.
Chapter 59 Dream Wedding
Yue Xing left the peach forest and returned to the town to write a letter to the young master. As a whistle sounded, a pigeon flew over. The letter was tied to the pigeon's leg and released. The pigeon flew towards Wucheng and soon disappeared into the dark night sky.
Not long after Huaying walked out of Fu Shiyan's room, a dark figure jumped through the window and entered the room. Fu San pulled down the black scarf on his face and saluted Fu Shiyan, saying, "Master, I followed that man all the way to the capital and found out that he was Shen Nanting, the legitimate son of Zuo Cheng's family. And when I first arrived, I found someone leaving from Taolin, but unfortunately I didn't catch up with him. His martial arts should be better than mine."
"Okay, I got it. Your mission is completed. Go and have a rest first." Fu Shiyan didn't even raise his head, the pen in his hand was still jumping on the paper.
Fu San wanted to tell his master that there were so many women in the world, so why bother offending the master in the capital for a village woman? However, he knew that his status was not worthy of saying these words to his master, so he obeyed the order and climbed out the window.
The candlelight in the room flickered. Fu Shiyan stopped writing and picked up a new piece of paper to continue copying.
As expected, the man who appeared next to Huaying for no reason was her brother, but why didn't he recognize her? The people in Zuo Chengfu were a little interesting. Fu Shiyan's mouth curled up with a hint of ridicule, and the candlelight reflected in his black eyes seemed so small.
Fu Shiyan took out the secret book from the bottom of the drawer and read it carefully. Who was the person marked with a star pattern? Why didn't his father just write down his name? Could he be the one who set the fire in the dark? Could he be Zuo Cheng?
I remember what my father said before he died, "Find Zuo Cheng...remember to take revenge." Did he mean that Zuo Cheng could help him take revenge or that he should find Zuo Cheng for revenge?
Whenever he thought of this sentence, Fu Shiyan fell into deep thought.
Secretly, he hoped that Zuo Cheng's family would not be his enemies.
Fu Shiyan sat on the chair with his head resting on the back. He thought that his elder brother must have found someone who made gunpowder in the military camp. Whether his elder brother could enter the court smoothly depended on how this matter went.
Fu Shiyan pinched his tense brows, adjusted his mood, picked up the pen and continued copying.
Before he had written a few words, there was a knock on the window again. That was the secret signal between him and Fu Yi. After hearing a cough from inside the house, Fu Yi outside the window climbed in.
"Master, there's a letter from the eldest son." Fu Yi took out a note from his arms and handed it to him.
Fu Shiyan unfolded the letter and asked Fu Yi after reading it, "How many days will it take for the saltpeter to arrive at the border?"
"I think he arrived last night." Fu Yi said, calculating the time.
"Okay, don't send saltpeter over there for the time being. Wait for big brother's letter and don't write letters over there in the next few days. Big brother's plan has been exposed, but unfortunately we are too far away to reach him. You write a letter to Fu Si and ask him to protect big brother's safety." Fu Shiyan instructed, and burned the letter on the candlelight.
Fu Yi took the order and left. He walked to the window and remembered something, then stopped and turned around and said, "It seems that the young lady of the Su family who is engaged to the eldest son is going to be engaged to the eldest prince."
Fu Shiyan was stunned and said calmly, "I know, don't let Big Brother know about this for now."
Fu Yi responded and left.
Fu Shiyan opened the window and looked at the starry sky, falling into deep thought. His elder brother would sooner or later know that the girl he liked was going to marry someone else. How painful would his heart be then? Now it was better to hide it from him for a while.
Because the mothers of the eldest brother and sister Su Mu were good friends, Mrs. Su arranged a marriage for the eldest brother to his unborn child on his second birthday. The two of them were childhood sweethearts, but fate has played tricks on them.
The evening breeze brought a slight chill. When Fu Shiyan came to his senses and closed the window, he saw that the peppers planted under the jacaranda tree in the backyard were growing vigorously. He looked at them for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and then he closed the window again.
The peach forest swayed in the wind under the moonlight, and Fu Shiyan's figure copying the manuscript was reflected on the window, flickering with the candlelight.
On the bed in this room, Huaying dreamed that she and Gu Ling were having a wedding. She was wearing a white wedding dress, and walking towards the groom Gu Ling step by step to the music. Gu Ling looked at her affectionately with tears in his eyes. Everyone sitting in the audience had happy smiles on their faces. Jingjing and the other bridesmaids were crying their hearts out.
Huaying watched as Gu Ling held her hand and she swore the wedding vows under the witness of her mother, the director of the orphanage. At that moment, she saw herself saying to Gu Ling with tears in her eyes, "I do."
She saw herself and said to herself, "Huaying, we will all be happy."
Huaying watched her pick up the bouquet and throw it into the air amid the cheers of the crowd.
Hehehe... Huaying, who was lying on the bed, woke up with a smile. She was shocked by her inexplicable dream.
I swear to God, she only has brotherly feelings for Gu Ling and has no improper thoughts about him.
Maybe I miss home again, so I think about it during the day and dream about it at night?
Huaying quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of the absurd dream. Gu Ling is my brother. Marrying him... Oh... I don't want to. Huaying rubbed her arms covered with goose bumps in disgust.
Seeing that it was already dawning outside the window, Huaying got up to water the flowers and peppers.
After making breakfast, he called Fu Shiyan and said that he was going to the town to find a shop that made plaques.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyan asked her to wait for a while as he also wanted to go to town.
The two of them went to a store in the town together, and then posted a job recruitment notice at the door of the store. Yuexing, who had been following in the dark and was responsible for Huaying's safety, came forward and wanted to salute Huaying, but was stopped by Huaying's eyes.
"Excuse me, are you two bosses recruiting in your store? I can do the accounting and can be a security guard. If that doesn't work, I can also be a waiter. Except for not letting me be the cook, I can do everything else." Yue Xing smiled and tried his best to promote his talents.
Fu Shiyan was observing Yue Xing calmly, and just then he noticed someone behind him. It turned out to be him.
That day, I followed this person to an inn and saw him with the eldest son of Zuo Cheng's family, so I knew that this person was from Zuo Cheng's mansion.
I thought that if this person could stay in the store, it would not only protect Huaying but also save some unnecessary trouble.
Huaying was a little surprised that Yuexing came to apply for the job. If he came, did the people from Youcheng Mansion come too? She would find a chance to ask Yuexing later.
Fu Shiyan was waiting for Huaying to speak, and Huaying was also waiting for Fu Shiyan to keep them. For a moment, neither of them responded to Yuexing's words.
Just as Yue Xing was hesitating whether to ask again, Fu Yi, who was so busy in the shop that he couldn't even straighten his back, said to Yue Xing who was standing at the door, "Don't just stand there, come and work, let's see how you perform first."
There was a smile on Yue Xing's eyes, "I'm coming, big brother." Then she rushed into the shop to help Fu Yi.
Huaying didn't know how to tell Fu Shiyan that her family was looking for her.
Fu Shiyan was waiting to see if Huaying would tell him about this and whether she would believe him. In his heart, he hoped that Huaying would completely trust him and rely on him.
Fu Shiyan turned around and went back to the shop to discuss the next renovation matters with Huaying, and informed Foreman Yang, who was in charge of the renovation, of his ideas and plans.
It was the first time that Foreman Yang received such a big order. He had a bright smile on his face and was very excited, thinking that he could make a lot of money this time. Moreover, this was the first time he had seen the design drawings of the store in all his years of work, and he was also looking forward to the appearance of the restaurant after it was decorated.
In the future, we can brag that the largest Zuijiangyue Restaurant in Taohua Town was decorated by our team, and other construction teams will be envious.
After confirming the plan with the workers, Huaying also helped with the work. Yuexing saw Huaying pick up the broom to sweep the floor, and in a panic he went over to take the broom and said to Huaying with a smile, "Little... Boss, I'll do it."
Fu Yi, who was working nearby, saw him like this, crossed his arms and looked at Yue Xingdao, "New here, you haven't even started work yet, and you've already learned to flatter the boss."
Yue Xing rolled his eyes inwardly. If it weren't for my young lady, I wouldn't be able to stay in your small shop. He said, "These are what I should do. A grown man can't let a girl do rough work."
Fu Yi looked at him and felt that what he said made sense. The work in the pharmacy was for his eldest disciple Qingshan to do, so Shi Nuan didn't have to do it. Forget it. Isn't it to free up the hands of himself and the master to hire workers? "You are quite clever." Fu Yi said to him.
Yue Xing thanked him when he heard this. Hua Ying looked up at Yue Xing and they both smiled at each other to make each other feel at ease.
Fu Shiyan looked at this seemingly peaceful scene, which actually concealed unknown waves. He took in the interaction between Huaying and Yuexing and thought to himself, Huaying, please don't let me down.
At this time in the Zuo Cheng Mansion, the lady was admiring the flowers in the garden. Looking at the clusters of blooming beautiful flowers in the garden, she thought of her daughter who was as beautiful as a flower.
Recently, she has been taking medicine on time and eating well, trying to give Ning'er a healthy mother when she returns home, so that she can teach Ning'er the etiquette and rules of a lady from a noble family.
"Mother, mother." A young man in a navy blue gown ran over here. He was tall and thin, with handsome features, and he exuded vigor and vitality.
"Xing'er, why are you so reckless again?" Mrs. Zuo Cheng was very fond of her youngest son. She looked at Shen Nanxing who was running towards her with a loving look in her eyes.
Shen Nanxing was so excited for the first time since his little sister disappeared. He squatted down and held his mother's arm on the recliner and said excitedly, "Mom, I heard from Dad that my little sister has been found?"
Mrs. Zuo Cheng picked up the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead. She said to him gently, "Yes, Ning'er has been found, but she is injured. We will take her home when she can accept it."
"No, I have to go find my sister to protect him." Shen Nanxing used to love teasing his little sister. He had shed countless tears secretly since his little sister disappeared. Fortunately, his sister was found.
Seeing how anxious he was, the lady wanted to say something to him, but then she remembered that she also wanted Ning'er to return home soon, so she said to Shen Nanxing, "You should do your own thing first. Ning'er has Yuexing. Yuelang and the others have also been sent by your eldest brother. We can just wait for Ning'er to come home."
Shen Nanxing looked at his mother, thought for a while, and nodded.
Huaying and Fu Shiyan came to a shop that made custom plaques. They showed the boss the drawing of the store name and asked him to make a vertical "Zuijiangyue Restaurant" plaque based on it.
The middle-aged boss said in embarrassment, "This size is too big. It will take at least half a month to make it."
Huaying calculated that she had enough time and said, "Boss, please take your time and make it look good. We will come back to pick it up in half a month."
The boss promised to make it according to the drawings, and Huaying gave him the deposit.
On the way back to the store, Huaying thought that it would cost a lot of money to decorate such a large restaurant. She remembered that the saltpeter in the back mountain could be used to make ice to sell, so she said to Fu Shiyan, "The weather is getting hotter. Let's find someone to bring the saltpeter back home to make some ice to sell."
"It's already being done. Don't worry about the money. Everything is under control." Saltpeter ice is not only sold well in Taohua Town, but also in the surrounding Bali Town, Luocheng, Hanyang and other places, bringing in considerable profits.
Looking at Huaying beside him, Fu Shiyan's heart softened. She was pure-hearted and gentle. She was really beautiful...
Huaying heard that he was already making ice, and she was delighted. She thought that he should be making a lot of money from selling ice. She was a little curious about when Fu Shiyan started doing this, but suddenly she remembered that she hadn't seen him when she went home recently...
Fu Shiyan smiled and looked at her frowning and said, "Don't worry, you have your share."
Huaying laughed when she heard this, but she didn't want it. This was the silver that should be given to her.
The two of them started chatting about the restaurant's business strategy after it opened. They talked as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the restaurant.
When Yue Xing saw his young lady coming back, he hurried over and said, "The two bosses are back." He turned around and poured two cups of tea and handed them over.
Huaying smiled and thanked him. Seeing Fu Shiyan go upstairs to find Fu Yi, Huaying asked in a low voice, "Yuexing, when did you come? Have my... family members come?"
Yue Xing saw that her young lady looked nervous, so she quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady, the Prime Minister and his wife said that they will come to pick you up whenever you want to go home. I wonder if you remember the young man who was hanging around your stall a few days ago and told you to find him if you have any problems in the future? That was the eldest son Shen Nanting, the young lady's eldest brother."
Huaying then remembered the young man who asked her about the process of making cold noodles and praised her hard work when they first met. She also figured out why she always felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
It turned out that was the original owner's elder brother. Huaying felt a strange soreness in her eyes. She thought that the original owner missed his elder brother. She subconsciously touched the jade silk on her chest and comforted him, saying that she would go back after finishing the things here.
Yuexing also told Huaying that everything was fine at Zuo Cheng Mansion and they were waiting for her to come home.
After hearing this, Huaying felt a little relieved. She decided to return home a day later, as she didn't know when she would see the people here again.
Fu Shiyan saved her, so she had to repay him, right? She wanted to see the restaurant she designed open and see if the new dishes she developed were popular in the local area.
She also wanted to see Fu Shiyan go to school and wear his school uniform. She wanted to set up a stall with Dongxue and go to the back mountain. She also wanted to quarrel with Yue Niang...
Huaying feels very happy living here and she doesn't want to leave.
At this time, Fu Shiyan came down from upstairs. He took in Huaying's lonely expression. He raised his eyes and glanced at Yuexing who was standing next to Huaying, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
