Chapter Forty-Nine, The Past
The two negotiated back and forth, Feng Yan frowned tightly, lowered his head and listened carefully, but he was still confused.
Who wants to marry Princess Hua Yan? Who is going to hire Ganoderma lucidum?
It sounds like Leng Gongzi, isn't this Leng Gongzi unclear with King Xiao? Why did you get involved with Princess Huayan again? Why is this relationship so messy?
Just as Feng Yan was in chaos, the two finally reached a consensus.
Leng Qiaoruo finally agreed to take out the Lingzhi from Heti, but he had to give it to King Xiao in the form of a dowry. As long as King Xiao agrees, it will be a dowry from him Leng Qiaoruo, and a marriage contract will be formed between him and Princess Huayan.
It's a good deal! Originally, Lingzhi was a thing of Changling Kingdom, but he went around Lengyu Valley for a while, and finally returned to Changling Kingdom, but he got a princess as a daughter-in-law for nothing.
Leng Qiaoruo was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and a smug smile flashed in her eyes.
Hum! That stinky cripple in a wheelchair, now that I have a marriage contract with Hua Yan, see how you still seduce my wife?
But this is just Leng Qiaoruo's wishful thinking, because even if King Xiao agreed, Princess Huayan still hasn't agreed, even if Princess Huayan has agreed, the emperor of Changling Kingdom hasn't agreed yet!
Leng Gongzi, you are thinking too simply!
"Can this Lingzhi really heal Man Gui's injury?" Feng Yan asked King Xiao in a low voice.
Before King Xiao could answer, Leng Gongzi took the lead in opening his mouth: "Lingzhi is a treasure in medicine, and it is said that it can bring people back to life who have just died." However, that's just a legend, because no one has ever tried it. ”
Since it is the treasure of the royal family of Changling Kingdom, this rumor will definitely not be groundless, Feng Yan nodded lightly, and his heart was also relaxed for a while.
In a flash, it was time for dinner, and the guys downstairs came up to invite them down to eat, the most important thing was that Feng Yan had been up for too long, and Fan Shishu was a little uneasy.
Under the pretext of sending someone to take a look, otherwise, that Xiao Gongzi and Leng Gongzi would starve them to death Fan Shishu would not blink an eye.
"Boss Chen prepares the wine and food, and invites the three of you to go downstairs for dinner." The young man lowered his head and spoke, but his eyes kept glancing ahead, and he saw that the three of them were sitting and talking, so he stood aside and waited.
After a while, I went back to the house, Miss Feng and that Xiao Gongzi were just chatting, let him put his heart in his stomach, and the little man hung his head and stood aside and summed it up in his heart.
After tossing all day, Feng Yan was already hungry, and when he heard that there was food prepared downstairs, he got up happily and went downstairs like a smoke.
Xiao Wang and Leng Qiaoruo then also went downstairs and came to the hall on the first floor, only to see more than a dozen tables set up in the spacious hall, and only two tables were seated.
In addition to a few of them, today's Guiyan Inn also lives some scattered merchants, a huge inn with dozens of rooms, and less than ten rooms.
As soon as Feng Yan came down, she was pulled by Fan Shishu to the private room next to her, looking at her eagerness, Fan Shishu guessed that she must be hungry.
Ducky pipa shrimp, steamed lion's head, fried fish fillet with lily, pear balls in honey sauce. Feng Yan took a look, and it was actually all dishes from Zhongshan Kingdom, and they were all her favorite tastes.
It's this season, I don't know where Fan Shishu got the ingredients, in short, just such a table of flavors from his hometown is enough to make Feng Yan burst into tears with excitement.
The bitter cold in the northwest, not to mention being able to eat such a table of dishes full of color and aroma, is not easy to pair with some green vegetables.
Since leaving home five years ago, Feng Yan has never eaten Zhongshan cuisine again.
Fan Shishu gently twisted the sleeves of his shirt with one hand, picked up the jade chopsticks with the other hand, put a pipa shrimp into Feng Yan's plate, and said softly: "Remember that you love to eat shrimp, but you don't like to eat shrimp heads, I made this dish on purpose, hurry up and taste whether it suits your appetite." ”
Feng Yan's long eyelashes were glued with a little tears, and they were fluorescent and shining by the red candles, looking like two small butterflies that had been hit by the rain.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Yan flattened his mouth, raised his eyes to look at Fan Shishu's handsome face full of tenderness, and smiled gratefully.
"Shishu, thank you for remembering."
Feng Yan said this sincerely, she has been hiding very hard for five years, no one around her knows her past, no one knows what she likes and what she likes to eat, and no one cares at all.
Looking at her lonely expression, Fan Shishu's heart ached faintly, he knew that she must have suffered a lot over the years, and a good young lady was mixed in the inn as a young man who was called at will.
"It's just that I went late that year, otherwise I would have married you, and you wouldn't have been implicated." Fan Shishu emotionally shook Feng Yan's cold little hand, and his lips trembled to tell the feelings in his heart.
Listening to Fan Shishu's whispering in his ear, the past was like a different world, which made Feng Yan feel a little trance.
Can it really be what he says? As long as you are not implicated by the Shangguan family, is it okay? How could he watch his entire family being slaughtered without hesitation? Just like his own sister, she has never said a word for her family from beginning to end!
Now, she has not been able to become Fan Shishu's wife, but she is burdened with the blood debt of hundreds of lives of the Shangguan family, although she is committed to the border city, it makes Feng Yan feel extremely happy.
If there is another chance to choose, she will not hesitate to choose to go with her family, although now she has become a little snitch, but she lives tenaciously, just to one day, for the tragic death of the whole family to get justice.
So many things have happened, how can she be his wife with peace of mind as Fan Shishu said!
Feng Yan sighed lightly and withdrew his hand from Fan Shishu's palm, thinking that he could understand himself, but who knew that he only understood his own surface.
"As the daughter of the Shangguan family, I must not be implicated, breaking the bones and connecting the basket is a responsibility that I can't hide even if I want to."
Fan Shishu was a little anxious when he heard this, afraid that he had just said the wrong thing. But what did she mean? The case of the Shangguan family is a certainty, how easy is it to overturn the case?
Fan Shishu didn't think about overturning the case, and secretly sent someone to investigate, but this case was too special and too involved, and it was a murder that was approved by the emperor's imperial pen back then.
Shangguan Yingjie's correspondence, evidence, and human witnesses were all in front of him, and the evidence was conclusive and ironclad, which was Fan Shishu and his father, Fan Wenzhong, who couldn't help even if they were red-eyed.
Fan Shishu's eyes darkened, if she was bent on overturning the case for the Shangguan family, then her father would definitely not agree to their marriage.
All her father can do now is to pardon Weiyang's crimes, and the premise is that she must live with him in peace and abide by her duty, and not bring any trouble to the Fan family.
"Weiyang, I won't tell you, I have also secretly investigated your family's case, and it is overwhelming to overturn the case. After all these years, the previous witnesses are nowhere to be found. There are also those letters, which are really your father's handwritten letters, and the Mr. Fang of your family, who is the imperial grandson of Changling Kingdom. ”
"If you want to say that your father has nothing to do with the prince of Changling Kingdom who has been on the run for many years, then no one will believe it."
Fan Shishu's words shocked Feng Yan is apricot eyes wide and his heart beat faster.
Is what he says true? His father is actually related to the prince who fled from the Changling Kingdom? How is this possible?
And the man who was buried deep in his heart was actually the grandson of the emperor of Changling Kingdom, the son of the prince who fled away? How is this possible?
But remembering the day his house was raided, Fu Hu of the Forbidden City Guard said that the Shangguan family harbored the prince of the enemy country, but it was exactly the same as Fan Shishu's words.
And Fang Hua is tired, Fang Yinghui is back, they are all surnamed Fang.
originally thought it was just a coincidence, but now after hearing what Fan Shishu said, Feng Yan had to connect the two.
"Weiyang, you have to be obedient, so many years have passed, and the emperor will no longer pursue the matter of the year, in the current form, it should not be difficult to pardon you. But you can't talk about that case anymore. ”
When Feng Yan was thinking about Fan Shishu's words, he only heard the sound of footsteps outside, the door curtain was lifted, and King Xiao and Leng Qiaoruo walked into the private room with square steps.
The young man behind him hurriedly ran over to ask for guilt: "The boss spares his life, the little one really can't stop these two, just now" The young man raised his eyes and glanced at King Xiao tremblingly, and continued to Fan Shishu: "This one also gave the little ass a kick." ”
After that, the young man raised his sleeve and wiped a handful of tears, looking like he had been wronged.
A good meal made this surnamed Xiao stir up, and Fan Shishu's face was naturally ugly.
With an irritable wave of his hand, the young man stepped back, raised his head slightly and said to the two in front of him, "What does Xiao Gongzi mean by this?" Why don't you even ignore the etiquette of the visit! ”
King Xiao didn't see Feng Yan when he came down from upstairs, and asked the little guy about Feng Yan's whereabouts, but he couldn't understand it for a long time, and finally he was so anxious that he really had no choice, so he had to raise a foot and kick it up.
This kick was really good, and the young man obediently led the two of them to find Feng Yan.
I knew it was so easy to use, so he didn't grind with him for so long, just go straight to his feet.
As soon as King Xiao turned around and sat down in a chic manner, Leng Qiaoruo was not polite, and sat down with a shake of his clothes.
"Boss Chen's memory is really bad, so he ordered someone to invite me to the banquet, why did he forget it as soon as he turned around? It took a lot of trouble for the two of us to find it, Boss Chen is so insincere! King Xiao put on a picture of Xingshi asking for guilt, and his words were taken for granted.
Fan Shishu saw that he was quite unreasonable, and he was really angry. It was right to invite him down to eat, but didn't he have them led him over? The private room on the other side is ready, isn't it? Do you have to chase them over and mess with them?
"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Xiao thinks that the meal prepared for you by Chen is not appetizing? Fan Shishu raised his eyebrows and asked lightly, very dissatisfied with this Xiao Gongzi's eyes that were always aimed at his daughter-in-law.
"Come back, try this, it tastes really good." When the two were facing each other, Leng Qiao Ruo couldn't help but eat.
Tasted a bite of lily fillet, the meat is delicate, fragrant and smooth, and the most important thing is that there are no spines, he has never eaten this method, so he hurriedly sandwiched a chopstick for Xiaowang.
Fan Shishu squinted his eyes and glanced at Leng Qiaoruo, and said in his heart: Where did this goods come from? Is it male or female?
