Chapter 56 A gentle kiss
Although the imperial city is large, Xiao Lingxiao also has an outstanding ability to recognize the way, which is also thanks to various experiences and training in another world. She took Xiao Fengming straight to her destination, looked up at the plaque on the magnificent wooden building, and saw the three big characters of Jincancan, Chufu Building.
In the three most famous places in the imperial city, Xiao Lingxiao has already challenged Wanguanzhuang, and now that she is free, she wants to see what kind of fame there are in this Chufu Building. Standing outside and looking at Chufu Building like this, I only feel that this is a gorgeous restaurant, and there doesn't seem to be anything else peculiar. If there is any sense of disobedience, it seems that there are not as many guests here as expected. Not to mention the carriages and horses, Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming walked all the way, and they didn't even see a group of guests.
Xiao Lingxiao looked around coldly, and couldn't help but pause.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Fengming asked.
Xiao Lingxiao turned her head to look at him, and said a little helplessly, "If I guess correctly, I don't even recognize the silver here, so I can only brush my face, right?" β
Xiao Fengming was stunned for a moment, and finally guessed what Xiao Lingxiao meant by "brushing his face", and he also smiled bitterly and said, "Who told you not to tell me in advance that you were coming here?" This Chufu Mansion does not accept ordinary guests, and those who can enter are either from wealthy families with relatives from the imperial family, or from people with great prestige in secret. β
The so-called people who are extremely prestigious in the dark refer to people like Shang Lingyu who are extremely hidden, or heroes in the rivers and lakes, Xiao Lingxiao naturally understands this. She looked at the faΓ§ade of Chufu Building, and her heart was filled with faint disgust. It stands to reason that it is no problem for her to enter and exit this kind of place as the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Xiao Lingxiao knows that she is now one of the best talking points in the imperial city, and she is afraid that she will cause a lot of trouble if she tells her identity. If you can get in with just the silver, it will be much simpler, Xiao Lingxiao suddenly understood the mood of the nouveau riche tyrant.
Xiao Fengming saw Xiao Lingxiao's face of loss, and said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, let's go in." β
After saying this, Xiao Fengming pulled Xiao Lingxiao and walked to the Chufu Building. As soon as he entered the door, a well-dressed person came to greet him, and the other party was smiling, but there were questions in his eyes, and he kept examining the strange pair of handsome men and women who suddenly appeared. Xiao Fengming didn't say much, just took out a palm-sized oval bronze medal from his arms and handed it to the person who welcomed the guest, the other party took the bronze medal and glanced at it, and suddenly became more respectful.
"Two distinguished guests, please come upstairs to a private seat."
The man led the way in front, Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help lowering her voice and whispering to Xiao Fengming, "What did you show him?" β
Xiao Fengming gave the small bronze medal to Xiao Lingxiao, she took a closer look and saw that the pattern on the bronze medal was delicate and exquisite, and the word "10,000" was engraved in the middle of a flower.
"This is something that Shang Lingyu gave me, the merchants in the imperial city all know it, and you can go in and out of most places with this thing, and Wanguanzhuang's face is still very effective." Xiao Fengming wrote lightly.
Xiao Lingxiao was secretly surprised and returned this thing to Xiao Fengming. Unexpectedly, Shang Lingyu not only gave himself two million taels of silver, but also did what he said and gave this bronze medal to Xiao Fengming, which must be helping him open up a trade route. There is no wind and no waves, Xiao Lingxiao suddenly felt that Shang Lingyu was so attentive, maybe there was some other purpose. At the beginning, Xiao Fengming was very surprised to get back the invitation to gamble with ten thousand gold, maybe someone was secretly calculating them.
"We don't know the details of Shang Lingyu, Feng Ming, you have to be careful in everything when you do things, don't be too eager for quick success." Xiao Lingxiao instructed softly.
Xiao Fengming turned his head to look at her, the corners of his mouth provoked a satisfied smile, lowered his head close to her ear, and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about me?" β
One sentence made Xiao Lingxiao's heart move, she immediately glanced at Xiao Fengming and punched him in the waist, "I'm talking about business, don't be flamboyant!" β
Xiao Fengming covered the place where he was beaten, smiled and muttered in a low voice, "Sister bullies!" It hurts! β
"It hurts, what hurts!" She didn't have any strength at all!
The two men whispered and laughed as they followed the man leading the way up the circular cloister.
The wooden building was built according to the pattern of the round sky, and the cloister spiraled upwards along the wooden building, and they finally arrived at a private room after about two circles. When you open the door, there is a screen, and after bypassing the screen, you can look at this room, which is no different from the inner hall of a rich and noble family. Tables and chairs are all available, and there are beaded curtains hanging on the partitions, and inside is a low-legged warm couch with chess sets and a few musical instruments. There is a low window next to the warm couch, open the curtains, and pull up the low window, you can see the square stage in the middle of the Chufu Building.
Chu Fu Lou is not only a restaurant, but also often hosts various aristocratic events and even auctions, and this square stage can be seen in every room, so that the guests who attend can not reveal their identities.
Because the weather had cooled down, Xiao Fengming specially asked people to put a low square table on the warm couch, and after the wine and food were arranged, Xiao Fengming drove everyone out of the store.
There were only two people left in the room, Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming, and Xiao Lingxiao also relaxed suddenly. She took off her shoes, sat cross-legged at the table, and poured herself a glass of wine and drank it. The wine was hot in her stomach, Xiao Lingxiao let out a sigh and sighed, "It's really good here!" β
Xiao Fengming quietly approached Xiao Lingxiao's side and said with a smile, "If you like it, we will build a better restaurant than here in the future." β
Xiao Lingxiao's interest immediately increased when she heard this, and she nodded vigorously, "Our business must become bigger and stronger!" Don't look at these people here, they all look down on the nouveau riche and the local tyrants, as if whoever doesn't enter the career is nothing, but in fact, no matter what you want to do, you need silver. It is the same in any world, and everything that raises soldiers, buys, buys, accumulates grass and stadies, and everything must have silver. When we get rich in the future, the king of heaven will not pay attention to it! Hahahaha......"
After listening to Xiao Lingxiao's words, looking at Xiao Lingxiao's presumptuous smile, Xiao Fengming's eyes flashed with excitement, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, "Look at you, why don't you look like a lady at all, but like a bandit and robber?" What kind of soldiers are raised to buy horses and accumulate grass and grain, do you still want to establish another world? β
"Hmph." Xiao Lingxiao said nonchalantly, "If you continue to play at the current pace, maybe there will really be a day." β
Xiao Fengming held his chin with one hand, took a sip from the wine glass, and said softly, "You woman, I didn't expect to have this ambition." β
Xiao Lingxiao was a little awkward when she heard what he said, and it took a long time to react, raised her hand and knocked on the top of his head, and said angrily, "What do you call me this woman?" I'm your sister! β
"There's no one else here," Xiao Fengming smiled and rubbed the top ......of his head, leaned over to Xiao Lingxiao, spit out a faint smell of wine, and asked, "Shall I call you Lingxiao?" β
"No way!"
Xiao Lingxiao poked his head with her fingers with a look of disgust, pushed him away, picked up chopsticks and began to taste the dishes on the table.
Chufu Lou is famous in the imperial city, and the dishes here can be described as a must. Xiao Lingxiao tasted a few bites, and immediately had a great appetite, praising while eating, the plates of dishes were really delicious and irresistible!
When Xiao Lingxiao had eaten almost the clouds, she found that Xiao Fengming didn't seem to move her chopsticks much, but kept holding the wine glass in one hand and holding her chin in the other. Xiao Lingxiao picked up the wine glass and raised her head to drink, muttering secretly in her heart, Xiao Fengming, this guy, sometimes plays tricks with himself like a child, and sometimes he seems to have grown up all of a sudden and become an incomprehensible strange man, the secret in this guy's heart, as well as the reason why he follows him, really makes people care more and more.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Lingxiao put it down, and found that Xiao Fengming was still staring at herself, so she couldn't help asking.
Xiao Fengming put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "Ling Xiao, will I take you somewhere else in the future?" β
"Where?" Xiao Lingxiao was stunned when she heard this, her enemies were still alive and well, and she never thought of leaving here after taking revenge. However, seeing that Xiao Fengming's expression was very serious, Xiao Lingxiao vaguely felt that he had something to say.
Xiao Fengming lowered his head and said softly, "I'm not from this Wuqi country, maybe I will have to go back to the place where I was born in the future...... It's not a good place to be, but ...... If you must go, I hope you can stay with me......"
When Xiao Lingxiao heard this, her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.
Confession?
Is this a confession?
In the past and present life, Xiao Lingxiao has never encountered this kind of confession when she adds all her experiences together! There are countless sweet words spoken by the four princes and the like, but those are fake when they hear it, and what Xiao Fengming said just now, and the sadness and shyness in his eyes, are absolutely true!
Xiao Lingxiao could hardly suppress the throbbing in her heart, and she was shocked to find that she had never been so nervous even when she was killing.
"Lingxiao......" Xiao Fengming saw that Xiao Lingxiao's cheeks were slightly red, he grabbed her hand, held it tightly in his hand, slowly fell to her ear, and said in the softest voice, "Am I a little drunk?" β
Xiao Lingxiao felt Xiao Fengming's breath stay in her ears, she wanted to dodge, but subconsciously turned her head. At this moment, Xiao Fengming leaned over a little more, so his lips lightly touched Xiao Lingxiao's cheek.
Just a gentle, floating kiss made both of their faces red.
Xiao Lingxiao didn't think about it, and pushed Xiao Fengming violently. Xiao Fengming had no chance to dodge at all, and fell on the warm couch with a thud.
"Hurt ......" Xiao Fengming gasped and struggled to get up, this time he fell firmly.
Xiao Lingxiao saw him grinning with his teeth, and she didn't know why, so she suddenly laughed. Xiao Fengming blushed and muttered aggrievedly, "Don't you feel sorry for me at all?" β
"Well deserved!" Xiao Lingxiao smiled even more happily.
Xiao Fengming got up and wanted to come to Xiao Lingxiao's side, but Xiao Lingxiao never let him sit over. The two were laughing and playing, but at this moment, the voice of the divine wolf suddenly came from Xiao Lingxiao's mind.
"Master, hurry up when you're full of food and drink, we're being targeted."
