Chapter 56 A Gentle Kiss
Although the imperial city is big, Xiao Lingxiao also has extraordinary ability in road recognition, which is also thanks to various experiences and training in another world. She took Xiao Fengming directly to her destination, looked up at the plaque on the magnificent wooden building, and saw the three big characters of Jin Cancan, Chufu Building.
In the three most famous places in the imperial city, Xiao Lingxiao has challenged Wan Guanzhuang. Now that she is free, she wants to see what are in the Chufu Building. Standing outside and looking at the Chufu Building like this, I just feel that this is a gorgeous restaurant, and there seems to be no other strange place. If there is any sense of discord, 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, not even a group of guests.
Xiao Lingxiao looked around coldly and couldn't help but look at it.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Fengming asked.
Xiao Lingxiao turned his head to look at him and said helplessly, "If I'm not mistaken, I don't even recognize the silver here, so I can only brush my face, right?"
Xiao Fengming was stunned for a moment and finally guessed what Xiao Lingxiao meant by "brushing his face". He also said with a wry smile, "Who told you to tell me in advance that you were coming here?" This Chufu Building does not accept ordinary guests. Those who can enter are either the rich families of the imperial family or the people who are secretly very prestigious.
The so-called secretly prestigious people refer to those who hide deeply like Shang Lingyu, or Jianghu heroes and so on. Xiao Lingxiao naturally understands this. She looked at the facade of Chufu Building, and there was a faint antipathy in her heart. Normally, there is no problem for her to enter and leave such a place as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Xiao Lingxiao knows that she is now one of the best in the imperial city. I'm afraid that saying her identity will cause a lot of trouble. If you can go in with money alone, it will be much simpler. Xiao Lingxiao suddenly understands the mood of the upstart.
Seeing Xiao Lingxiao's disappointed face, Xiao Fengming smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, let's go in."
After saying this, Xiao Fengming took Xiao Lingxiao and walked into the Chufu Building. As soon as he entered the door, a well-dressed person came to greet him. The other party was smiling, but with questions in his eyes, he kept looking at a pair of strange handsome men and beautiful women who suddenly appeared. Xiao Fengming didn't say much. He just took out an oval bronze medal the size of a palm from his arms and gave it to the greeter. The other party took a look at the bronze medal and suddenly became more respectful.
"Two distinguished guests, please come to the elegant seat upstairs."
The man led the way in front of him. Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help asking Xiao Fengming in a low voice, "What did you show him?"
Xiao Fengming gave the small bronze medal to Xiao Lingxiao. She looked carefully and saw that the pattern on the bronze medal was delicate and delicate, with the word "Wan" engraved in the middle.
"This is what Shang Lingyu gave me. The merchants in the imperial city all know it. With this thing, you can access most places. Wan Guanzhuang's face is still very useful." Xiao Fengming wrote lightly.
Xiao Lingxiao was secretly surprised and returned it to Xiao Fengming. Unexpectedly, Shang Yu not only gave him two million taels of silver, but also did what he said. He gave the bronze medal to Xiao Fengming, which must be helping him open the business road. Without wind and waves, Xiao Lingxiao suddenly felt that Shang Lingyu was so attentive that he might have any other purpose. At the beginning, it was very strange for Xiao Fengming to get back the invitation to gamble. Maybe someone was secretly plotting on them.
"We don't know the details of Shang Lingyu. Feng Ming, you should be careful when you do everything. Don't be too eager for quick success." Xiao Lingxiao said softly.
Xiao Fengming turned his head to look at her, with a satisfied smile on the corners of his mouth. He lowered his head to her ear and whispered, "Are you worried about me?"
One sentence moved Xiao Lingxiao's heart. She immediately gave Xiao Fengming a white look and punched him on the waist. "I'm talking about business. Don't be slippery!"
Xiao Fengming covered the place where he was beaten and whispered with a smile, "Sister bullies people! It hurts!"
"What does it hurt!" She didn't use her strength at all!
The two of them whispered and laughed like this, walking upstairs along the circular corridor with the guide.
The wooden building was built according to the pattern of Tianyuan. The corridor spiraled up along the wooden building. After about two circles, they finally arrived at an elegant room. The door is a screen. After bypassing the screen, look at the room. It is no different from the inner hall of a rich family. There are all kinds of tables, chairs and utensils. There is a bead curtain hanging on the partition. Inside is a warm couch with short feet. There are chess tools and several musical instruments on the warm couch. There is a low window next to the warm couch, open the curtains, pull up the low window, and you can see the square stage in the middle of the Chufu Building.
Chufu Building is not only a restaurant, but also often holds various aristocratic events and even auctions, and this square stage can be seen in every room, so that the participating guests do not expose their identity.
Because the weather was getting cold, Xiao Fengming specially asked someone to put a short square table on the warm couch. After the wine and dishes were arranged, Xiao Fengming drove everyone in the store out.
There were only Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming left in the room, and Xiao Lingxiao also relaxed at once. She took off her shoes and sat cross-legged to the table, pouring a glass of wine and drinking it. The wine was hot in his stomach. Xiao Lingxiao took a long breath and sighed, "It's really good here!"
Xiao Fengming quietly came to Xiao Lingxiao and said with a smile, "If you like it, we will build a better restaurant than here in the future."
Xiao Lingxiao's interest was much higher when she heard the words. She nodded vigorously, "Our business must be bigger and stronger!" Although these people here look down on the upstarts and local tycoons, it seems that no one who does not enter the official career is nothing, but in fact, no matter what they want to do, they need money. Every world is the same. Raising soldiers to buy horses, grass and grain, everything must have money. When we make a fortune in the future, I won't pay attention to it! Hahahaha..."
After listening to Xiao Lingxiao's words and looking at Xiao Lingxiao's unbridled smile, Xiao Fengming's eyes flashed with excitement, and then he couldn't help shaking his head with a wry smile, "Look at you, why don't you look like a lady at all, but like a mountain thief and robber? Why raise soldiers to buy horses and accumulate grass to store grain? Do you still want to set up another world?
"Hmm." Xiao Lingxiao said carelessly, "If you continue to play at the current pace, maybe there will really be such a day."
Xiao Fengming held his chin in one hand, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He whispered, "You woman, I didn't expect you to have this ambition."
Xiao Lingxiao was a little uncomfortable to hear what he said. It took him a long time to react. He raised his hand and knocked on the top of his head and said angrily, "What do you call me as a woman? I'm your sister!"
"There is no one else here..." Xiao Fengming rubbed his head with a shallow smile, came to Xiao Lingxiao, spit out a faint wine, and asked, "Is it okay to call you Lingxiao?"
"No way!"
Xiao Lingxiao poked his forehead with his fingers and pushed him away, picked up his chopsticks and began to taste the dishes on the table.
Chufu Building is famous all over the imperial city, and the dishes here are excellent. Xiao Lingxiao tasted a few bites, and suddenly opened his appetite. He praised it while eating. A plate of dishes was really delicious!
When Xiao Lingxiao was about to eat, he found that Xiao Fengming didn't seem to move his chopsticks much, but kept holding the wine glass in one hand and holding his chin in the other. Xiao Lingxiao picked up the glass and drank. He muttered in his heart that Xiao Fengming sometimes played tricks on him like a child, but sometimes he seemed to suddenly grow up into a strange man that people couldn't figure out. The secrets in this guy's heart and the reason why he followed him really made people care more and more.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Lingxiao put it down and found that Xiao Fengming was still staring at him. He couldn't help asking.
Xiao Fengming put down his glass and smiled, "Ling Xiao, can I take you somewhere else in the future?"
"Where is it?" Xiao Lingxiao was stunned when she heard the words. Her enemies were still alive, and she never thought of leaving here after 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 whispered, "I'm not from this country. Maybe I'll go back to the place where I was born in the future... It's not a good place, but... If you have to go, I hope you can be with me..."
When Xiao Lingxiao heard the words, his heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.
Confession?
Is this a confession?
In his past and present life, Xiao Lingxiao has never met such a confession when he added all his experiences together! Instead, the four princes have said countless sweet words, but those are false when they hear them, and what Xiao Fengming just said, and a little sadness and shyness in his eyes, are absolutely true!
Xiao Lingxiao could hardly suppress the throbbing in her heart. She was shocked to find that she had never been so nervous when she killed someone.
"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?"
Xiao Lingxiao felt that Xiao Fengming's breath stayed in her ear. She wanted to avoid it, but subconsciously turned her head. At this moment, Xiao Fengming came over again, so his lips gently touched Xiao Lingxiao's cheek.
It's just a gentle, like a down feather-like kiss, but it makes both people's faces turn red.
Xiao Lingxiao didn't even think about it, and suddenly pushed Xiao Fengming. Xiao Fengming had no chance to dodge at all and fell on the warm couch with a plop.
"It hurts..." Xiao Fengming got up with difficulty inhaling the cold air. This time, he fell firmly.
Xiao Lingxiao suddenly laughed when he grinned and didn't know why. Xiao Fengming blushed and muttered with an aggrieved face, "Don't you feel sorry for me at all?"
"You deserve it!" Xiao Lingxiao smiled more happily.
Xiao Fengming got up and had to come to Xiao Lingxiao's side, but Xiao Lingxiao would never let him sit down. The two were laughing and fighting, but at this time, the voice of the divine wolf suddenly came from Xiao Lingxiao's mind.
"Master, let's go when you have enough to eat and drink. We are being targeted."
