Chapter 34
On April 12th, the group prepared to set off for Shangming Town.
Including Fu Ji, there were a total of six people who went to Shangming Town and used the largest carriage in the mansion, and the six people just sat down.
This time when he went to Shangming Town, Fu Tian did not take Dai Fu over. Dai Fu packed his luggage and took him to the gate with a bag.
The carriage had already stopped at the door, and Chu Xiangtian leaned halfway against the wall of the car. Seeing that they were coming, he took the luggage and put it in place.
Fu Tian patted Dai Fu on the shoulder and asked him to go back first. He turned around and stepped on the horse stool to get on the car.
Xiao Qiao was already sitting in the car. For convenience, she changed into light men's clothing. When she saw Fu Tian coming up, she smiled and greeted him.
"Let's go."
Everyone was all here, Chu Xiangtian and Zhou Chuanqing got on the car and asked Fu Ji and Chang Xi to prepare to set off - they both sat in front of the car to catch the car.
"Wait!" Fu Shuyue and the maid rushed over with food boxes.
I knew they were about to set off early in the morning, and Fu Shuyue got up before dawn today to start making snacks. It took about two hours to get from Sifang Town to Shangming Town. Making some snacks just made them cushion on the way.
Fu Shuyue trotted over, gasping slightly, took the food box from the maid, and handed it to Fu Tian who came out of the carriage, "I just made it, you can take it to eat on the way later."
Fu Tian took the food box and could still feel the slight heat outside the food box. He waved his hand to Fu Shuyue and asked her to go back first, "Don't worry, we will be back soon."
"Well, be careful all the way." Fu Shuyue plucked the hair on her cheek, stepped back a little, and gave way to the carriage.
Fu Ji raised his whip and made a sound on the ground. The horse made a "shou" neighing sound, and slowly walked away.
Fu Tian waved to Fu Shuyue through the car window, and then sat back again until the carriage turned around the corner and could not see anyone.
The food box was placed on the small table in the middle. Zhou Chuanqing stared at the food box and gently tapped it in his palm, "Sister Ling is really virtuous."
Fu Tian pursed his lips and smiled, and opened the food box. There were four layers of food box, and the pastries placed on each layer were different. They were all freshly made and there was a little heat.
A pot of honey-flowered wine was warmed at the bottom of the food box. I took out bowls, plates, cups and cups from the secret lattice that I had taken, and several people ate and chatted on the carriage.
Zhou Chuanqing took a cup of honey pot and sipped his eyes with pleasure. He tapped his fingers on his legs a few times, and asked inadvertently: "Will Sister Ling promise someone else after breaking the engagement?"
In fact, it was a bit inappropriate for him to ask, but everyone was familiar with each other. Fu Tian thought he was just caring casually, so he didn't mind too much. "Not yet, my sister said there was no hurry."
Sixteen years old is already a marriageable age. Generally, women are married at this age. If Fu Tian had not tried his best to disturb the marriage, Fu Shuyue would have married to the Jiao family long ago.
Later, Jiao Changxian's dirty things broke out. Although Fu Shuyue decided to break off the engagement, it was fake to say that there was no impact at all. There were many people gossiping in the town, but this matter was that Jiao Changxian was misbehaving. The Fu family took the initiative to break off the engagement and took the initiative to break the engagement and could not make any mistakes. What's more, the Fu family had a great career, and after breaking the engagement, there were many people who came to propose marriage one after another. However, after Fu Shu's menstruation, he was quite discouraged and unwilling to propose marriage for the time being.
"Ms. Fu is both talented and beautiful, so she really needs to be good at picking." Zhou Chuanqing nodded in agreement, smiling gentlely.
Fu Tian looked a little weird, and he always felt that he had discussed these strange things with Zhou Chuanqing. He smiled politely, did not respond, and instead changed the topic to continue chatting.
Chu Xiangtian glanced at Zhou Chuanqing, who was smiling like a fox, without hesitation. He would laugh like this every time they conspired to put a trap on the enemy. I wonder what bad water was experiencing in this guy's stomach.
...
The carriage bumped on the road for nearly two hours, and finally arrived in Shangming Town at noon.
Shangming Town is more prosperous than Sifang Town. The entrance of the town faces south. On the right side of the entrance is a cylindrical stone with three large characters engraved with sharp pen tips - Shangming Town.
The carriage slowly drove into Shangming Town, Fu Tian lifted up the curtain and looked out curiously.
The streets here are wider than Sifang Town. The main road is paved with bluestone slabs, and even three large carriages like the Fu family can pass side by side. On both sides of the street are bustling vendors and jugglers, and pedestrians occasionally stop and are bustling.
"Young Master, do you want me to go to the shop to inform me first?" Fu Ji asked.
They made a haste in their decision and had no time to notify the shop in advance for the manager to arrange for someone to greet him before they arrived.
"No, go to the inn."
Fu Tian shook his head and refused. He had deliberately notified him in advance. He came to Shangming Town quietly, just to catch the other party off guard. If he notified in advance and gave them time to prepare, he would come over to inspect. It would be strange if he could find something was wrong.
Fu Ji drove the carriage to the best inn in the town and stopped. The waiter had the ability to come forward and welcomed them in, and arranged for the groom to take the carriage to the backyard to settle it.
The waiter brought the tea, Fu Tian and others sat down to have tea, Wen Ji went to negotiate with the shopkeeper to book a room. After a while, Fu Ji walked over with a hint of embarrassment and whispered: "There are only four rooms left in the upper room, and the rest are all full beds."
"Why is it so lively?" Fu Tian frowned and puzzled.
The waiter who was serving the side explained: "You guys don't know what you guys are now. In a few days, it will be the flower competition in the town. I heard that there will be a flower show on display this time. There are many people visiting the flowers, so the inns in the town are all full, and our inns are only big and there are a few empty rooms."
After pondering for a while, Fu Tian looked at the other people, "Since that's the case, let's squeeze it, right?"
The others naturally had no objection, so they asked Fu Ji to book the last four rooms, and several people took their luggage to get a place to settle.
Among the few people, Xiao Qiao was the only woman, so she must have a single room. Fu Ji originally suggested going to bed on the bed by himself, and two more people could squeeze in the remaining rooms. Unexpectedly, Chu Xiangtian suddenly spoke out: "Why not have the same room with Fu Tian?"
Fu Tian looked at him in surprise, his eyes still feeling confused that he didn't react.
Chu Xiangtian said with confidence: "They looked at the sleeping conditions. I feel shallow and it is easy to sleep poorly."
Chang Xi was stubborn and laughed and agreed, "I'm not sleeping well."
Zhou Chuanqing sneered, and without making a sound, he glanced at him with his eyes obliquely, his eyes full of mockery.
Chu Xiangtian's face remained unchanged, and looked at Zhou Chuanqing's mockery as if nothing had happened. He only looked at Fu Tian with concentration and asked in a low voice: "Is that okay?"
"..." Fu Tian's face was entangled for a while. Seeing Chu Xiangtian looking at him calmly, thinking that it would be only one or two nights anyway, he nodded hesitantly and agreed.
Getting the answer he wanted, Chu Xiangtian curled his lips with satisfaction, picked up the packages of the two, and walked in half with Fu Tian's shoulders, "Then let's go back to the room to pack your luggage first."
Fu Ji, who was left behind, always felt something was wrong. He opened his mouth and wanted to stop them, but the person had already returned to the room. He was still struggling for a while, but he still didn't say anything.
Finally, Chang Xi slept in a room by himself. Zhou Chuanqing and Fu Ji squeezed in. After several people set up their luggage, they went downstairs to have lunch.
There is a restaurant next to the inn. After a few people had lunch, Fu Tian suggested going to the shop first.
"Uncle Ji, you don't have to go, the people in the shop know you." Fu Tian said.
Fu Ji was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized, "Young Master, you want to..."
"Well," Fu Tian showed a faint smile and walked out with his hands behind his back, "Let's go and have a secret visit first."
Chu Xiangtian walked beside him, lowered his head and smiled, "Do you still know how to use tactics?"
Fu Tian raised his chin proudly, "I never get tired of cheating, this is what Brother Zhou taught me."
While the shop is not prepared, they go to explore the situation first and can understand the real situation of the shop to the greatest extent. If they are lucky, they may be able to grasp the other party's handle.
The group arrived at the entrance of the Fu family's rice and grain shop, and Fu Tiandang walked in first.
The shop was filled with rice and millet, all of which were placed open for customers to choose. The waiter leaned behind the counter and dozed off, sleeping little by little.
Fu Tian coughed lightly, and when he heard the sound, the waiter woke up cleverly. When he saw Fu Tian's eyes lit up and he came up with a smile. Fu Tian was dressed well and deliberately made a look like a rich young man. He didn't even glance at the others, but he arched his body slightly to follow Fu Tian.
"Young Master wants to buy rice?"
Fu Tian glanced at him lightly and replied coldly, "You need a batch of good rice to brew at home, I will check it myself."
When the waiter heard this, he smiled and pointed at the best ones and said, "Young Master, look at these kinds of them, they are all the best varieties in the store."
Chapter completed!
