Otherworldly Days

Chapter 347

At dusk, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, and the small stalls were closed one by one, and the peddlers also rushed to close their stalls. They had to go out of the city and go home before the city gate was closed. Closed, can't get out of the city.

There were fewer pedestrians, and the blocked road was cleared. There were more horse-drawn carriages on the road than in the daytime. The horse-drawn carriages passed the bluestone road, and the horseshoes made a rattling sound.Among these carriages passing by in a hurry, it is very likely that the bureau official of the court is sitting in the sedan chair of a certain carriage.

At this time, the restaurant’s business is at its best. The elders met in threes and fives, and went to the restaurant to have a drink. The carriages stopped in front of the restaurant, and the luxuriously dressed guests got out of the carriages. With a busy smile, he greeted the guest officer inside.A man who had worked for a day would randomly find a restaurant and go in, just to find a cheap way to satisfy his hunger.

Early in the morning, the boy sent by shopkeeper Zhong arrived at Yipinzhai. He had been busy for a whole day when he arrived. Seeing that it was getting late outside, Cao Xiangnan went to shopkeeper Zhong and said he wanted to go back. It was time to go back, and he was also thinking about staying in the yard with the evening breeze and the two children all day.

''ah! "

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said he wanted to go back, shopkeeper Zhong smiled and told him that he had sent someone to take Wanfeng and the child to the yard he had arranged.Cao Xiangnan stared at the clock shopkeeper who was smiling like an Amitabha Buddha, why didn't he know such a thing?

Thinking that he has been busy here all day, he didn't know that Wanfeng and the two children were taken away. If Wanfeng and the two children were sold, would he not know?

"I didn't tell you?" Shopkeeper Zhong suddenly realized, and hurriedly apologized, "It's my fault, it's my fault, I forgot to tell you about such an important matter, I said at that time that I must remember to tell you, turn around I just forgot, it’s all because of my bad brain.”

"No, no, thank you, Uncle Zhong, for arranging a place to stay, and thank you, Uncle Zhong, Xiang Nan." Knowing that Shopkeeper Zhong cut them off first, Cao Xiangnan also knew that Shopkeeper Zhong had arranged a place for them out of good intentions, so he wasn't really angry. .

"You don't need to say thank you. We are all from our own family. There is no need to say thank you. Didn't you say you want to go back, I asked the driver to take you back, and you have to go back after you have been out for a day." Shopkeeper Zhong heard that Nan boy was going back, he It is not forced to keep people down.Anyway, as long as someone is here in Fengdu, is he afraid that he won't be able to find anyone?

I have to say that this kid really made him look at it with admiration. Today, after being adjusted by this kid, everything is more pleasing to the eye.After being instructed by this kid, the dishes in the kitchen taste even better than before. Several regular customers who ate here have tasted this dish, and they all asked him if he is the chef who cooks in the kitchen today. They changed people, and they all praised the food today, which is a great affirmation of their Yipinzhai.

So it's not unreasonable for Lao Fang to praise this kid so much, thinking that Cao Xiangnan has always been to Nanyang, and it's been so long since the old guy has been cheap.Thinking of this kid coming back to Fengdu for the first time, shopkeeper Zhong felt unbalanced, thinking about what else to do in this building, and asked the boy to pick him up tomorrow, while he was still in Fengdu. All the things in the building were done for him, and he wished that he would stay in Fengdu forever.

Cao Xiangnan didn't know in his heart that the others hadn't left yet, and the shopkeeper Zhong was planning to take him over tomorrow morning.He didn't know where Wanfeng and the child were being picked up when Master Zhong asked the carriage to take him back, and he couldn't refuse, so he said yes, "Thank you, Uncle Zhong." He said.

"You don't need to say thank you, don't say thank you." Shopkeeper Zhong beckoned the boy beside him to arrange a carriage to take him back, and said, "Boy Nan, you have done a great favor to my uncle today..." Behind That's a lot of compliments.

Cao Xiangnan didn't feel complacent when he heard that, anyway, Yipinzhai's business was still going on, and his pockets were also full.

When he left, he didn't go through the gate, but through the small door at the back.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the day, the whole city of Fengdu is quiet at this time, there are fewer stalls along the way, and those who have collected the stalls are rushing home, and there are fewer people carrying burdens on the street. husband.

On the way back, Cao Xiangnan sat in the carriage and looked outside. He saw few people on the street and knew what was going on. This is similar to Nanyang.

The city walls in this era were all built out of military considerations. Most of the gates of each city would be opened at dawn and closed before dark, so as not to encounter enemy attacks at night and lose a city.

The gates of the city are closed every day. Before the gates are closed, people who live outside the city will rush home. When the next day dawns, everyone will rush into the city to do business. When it's busy.

Compared with Nanyang City, the streets in Fengdu City are wider and wider, there are more shops and buildings, and people's clothes are made of better materials. This is Fengdu City.

All the way back in the carriage, Cao Xiangnan was looking at Fengdu, where he came for the first time. Walking into Fengdu City, everything here was strange and novel to him, and it was interesting to wander around this quaint city.

"Yu—" The carriage walked to a quiet and spacious street, and stopped in front of a small courtyard. This is the eastern part of the outer city. You can't live in the inner city. The best place to live in the outer city is here East Street.

"My lord, we're here." The coachman outside said.

Lifting the curtain of the car, Cao Xiangnan got out of the car, thanked the coachman who brought him back, and knew that this was the yard that shopkeeper Zhong had arranged for them.He took a look at the door, then walked towards the door, holding the door knocker with both hands and knocking a few times.

"I'm coming……"

"Master's house." Liu Lan who came to open the door saw his master's house coming back, with a happy smile on her face, she hurriedly turned sideways to let the master's house in, and said, "The mistress and the young master are inside, the master Come in quickly."

Hearing the sound from outside, Qi Wanfeng walked in from the house, and saw the returning husband, with a smile on his face, even the little Baoer in his arms was excited when he saw the returning uncle. Clapping his little hands and babbling, he was very happy.

Seeing Fu Lang walking in front of him, Qi Wanfeng said with a soft smile on his face, "Fu Lang, you're back."

"Well, have you had dinner yet?" Cao Xiangnan strode towards the person waiting there. He didn't see him for a day, and when he came back, he felt an urge to hug him in his arms. He looked at the person with burning eyes. His daughter-in-law was always embarrassed to show people.

Fu Lang's eyes were too hot, Qi Wanfeng slightly looked away, not daring to meet Fu Lang's eyes, his face was slightly hot.Feeling embarrassed to see people, Cao Xiangnan had a bad smile on his face, and he didn't stare at his wife so directly again.

"I've eaten with my child. How about you, Fulang? Have you had dinner yet? I left some food in the kitchen for you. Do you want to use some?" Because he didn't know when Fulang would come back, he brought two The little one wanted to eat, so they ate dinner earlier, fearing that Fu Lang would not have eaten when he came back later, Qi Wanfeng specially left some food for Fu Lang.

"Well, good." In fact, he came back after eating in the building, and he didn't stop talking all day, even trying the dishes was enough for him to eat. Seeing that Wanfeng had left some food for him, Cao Xiangnan still Will eat some.

It's different to have a wife and children, and it feels like coming home when I come back.

Seeing that little Bao'er was so happy to see him back, Cao Xiangnan stretched out his hand, unexpectedly, the little guy climbed from Wanfeng's arms to hug him with dignity, he took little Bao'er over, and said to the child , "Little guy, are you so happy to see me back?"

Thinking of the people who forgot to ask shopkeeper Zhong about his boss's family all day today, Fang Ziye must have arranged for them to live in this courtyard. Since shopkeeper Zhong knew that they came to Fengdu, Fang Ziye must also know about it.

I heard from Shopkeeper Fang that Fang Ziye would go to Nanyang several times in the past, but this year he has not been to Nanyang since he left at the beginning of the year, and stayed in Fengdu.Shopkeeper Fang is a subordinate and it is not easy to ask about the master. Cao Xiangnan felt a little strange in his heart. Based on what he knew about Fang Ziye, Xiao Baoer was here with him. Bao'er, unless he was caught by something, now that he has brought Wan Feng and the two little ones to Fengdu, Fang Ziye knew they were here, and if Fang Ziye came to see them conveniently, he would definitely come. Unless he has a reason not to come.So, Cao Xiangnan was not in a hurry, maybe Fang Ziye knew that Xiao Baoer was brought to Fengdu by him, and he was more anxious than him to see Xiao Baoer.

"Yeah..." The answer was Xiao Bao'er babbling to him with a serious face.

It's a pity that Cao Xiangnan didn't understand. He also smiled and talked to Xiao Bao'er. This little guy is a little older now, and he doesn't recognize people as much as he did when he was a child.However, this child has met many people outside, so he is not so afraid of being born. This will have some impact. If Fang Ziye intends to keep Xiao Baoer with him, Cao Xiangnan will not refuse, after all, such a beautiful child Not everyone can come out of it, he just picked up a beautiful little thing for nothing.

"Where's that boy Lele?"

"It's in the house."

The two walked into the house while talking, and Qi Wanfeng followed Fu Lang in.

When Cao Xiangnan walked in, he found that the layout of the house was similar to the house they built in Fenshui. There was also a fireplace on the wall, and the tables and chairs in the house were made of mahogany, which was many times better than the random furniture he bought at home. .

The things placed in the room are exquisite and small, which shows that the person who arranged them put their heart into it. Needless to say, Fang Ziye had people decorate this room.

Qi Wanfeng, who was following Fulang, saw that Fulang was looking at the house, and he said, "Fulang, this yard must have been arranged for us by Ziyu." When he walked in today, he also found this The room was similar to their home in Fenshui, and Ziyu must have arranged for them. Once he came here, he would wait for Fulang to come over without worrying about anything.

"Well, he has a heart." Cao Xiangnan nodded and said.

Little Bao'er, who still doesn't understand the world in his arms, doesn't know that the person his uncle and grandmother are talking about is his mother.
