The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 58

[Chapter 58 Chance Encounter]

After Fang Xiu left, Emperor Chu still had a look of surprise on his face, and said to himself: “The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, but there are still diseases in this world that prevent you from serving as an official.”

Liu Cheng’s face turned red from holding back.

, hesitated for a long time, but still couldn’t hold it back, and whispered: “Your Majesty, have you ever thought that Uncle Anping just didn’t want to be on duty in the palace, so he made up this stubborn illness that makes him unable to serve as an official?”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chu suddenly felt

react to.

He, who had always been overwhelmed but his expression remained unchanged, suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: “How dare this boy lie to me!” The

majestic emperor was actually prevaricated like this by a boy who had not yet reached the crown.

Emperor Chu was so angry that he almost wanted to capture Fang Xiu, hang him on the beam of the Nuan Pavilion, and beat him.

The anger is mixed with these emotions of hating iron but not steel.

General Zuo Zhonglang of the Habayashi Guards, if he did not have military merit, many noble sons and daughters in the court would not necessarily be able to achieve this position if they spent their entire lives.

This son only ranked first in the review, so I entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. I thought he would be grateful and work diligently in the army to repay me.

I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it to be like this. It’s

simply a lack of progress and a self-destruction!

He took another sip of wine, his throat felt like it was being burned by fire, and he calmed down a little.

Liu Cheng stood aside, trembling.

After spending decades with His Majesty, this was the first time he had seen His Majesty so angry.

This time, Uncle Anping might be in bad luck as

time passes by.

Liu Chengxin also became more and more uneasy. After a long time, he heard a voice in his ear: “Order the imperial doctor to go to Anping Bo’s Mansion to diagnose Fang Xiu. If there is really a stubborn disease, he will be diagnosed and treated. If not,”

Emperor Chu paused and said: “More importantly, good diagnosis and treatment!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Liu Cheng was surprised.

I thought there would be a violent storm next, but I didn’t expect it to be handled like this.

Order the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat?

It seems that His Majesty really loves Uncle Anping very much

. It was still early when he came out of the palace.

After staying in the mansion for so many days, he felt a little bored. Fang Xiu gave Bai Xiaochun instructions and went to the south of the city alone.

At noon, when Chunfeng Tower is the busiest, countless drunkards come looking for it after smelling the smell of alcohol.

Although factories have been built in the suburbs and production has been increased, demand still exceeds supply.

In less than half an hour, in Chunfeng Tower, all the freshly delivered snacks were sold out again.

Even though he was busy, the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Tower still saw Fang Xiu in the crowd at a glance, and greeted him with great enthusiasm as if he were meeting his own father.

He bowed and said flatteringly: “Master, why are you here?”

Fang Xiu had a dark look on his face.

He has not yet reached the age of maturity. In his previous life, he was still a teenager, a young man at most. How come he became an old man in his words,

“I’m passing by here, take a rest, you don’t need to worry about me, go and do your own thing.”

Fang Xio waved his hand, found an empty seat and sat down.

The shopkeeper wanted to say something more, but when he saw this, he was afraid of annoying the young master, so he just bowed and went back to work.

Fang Xiu sat alone at the table and looked at the flow of people in the lobby, feeling quite relieved.

Nowadays, the slogan “Get drunk and then rest” has been heard throughout the capital.

In just one month, a lot of the money originally owed to Baolefang has been repaid, and this does not include several shops in the south of the city.

If Fang Xiu’s existing assets are converted into silver, he will make a net profit of at least ten thousand taels of silver this month!

As long as this momentum can be maintained, within ten years, the position of the richest man in the capital will be vacated for Fang Xiu to occupy.

Fang Xiu sat for a while, and the table in front of him was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

There is a pretty little girl by his side at all times.

“Hey”

he couldn’t help but sigh.

He is still very satisfied with the new shopkeeper of Chunfeng Tower. He is smart and capable. The only shortcoming is that he is a little too attentive.

He poured wine and drank a glass.

Only then did Fang Xiu remember that he came to the south of the city for business, the bookshop.

I haven’t looked over at the bookstore yet, so I’m just sitting here enjoying it.

What a depravity.

After only taking a sip of wine, the delicacies on the table were not touched at all, so he stood up and walked out.

Just as he walked to the door, he bumped into an acquaintance.

Xia Yixue stood at the door of the store, glanced at Fang Xiu with her beautiful eyes, and then ignored her. Instead, she looked at the wine jar in the front cabinet and said, “You can only get drunk after one drink.”

Her voice was cold, but there was an indescribable taste. , pleasant and moving.

A waiter hurriedly came forward to say hello. Hearing these words, his face showed a bitter look: “Sir, I’m really sorry. Our shop’s one-drunk-only meal has been sold out again today. Please come again tomorrow.”

As if he felt sorry, after the boy finished speaking, he bowed and said, “I’m really sorry.”

Xia Yixue didn’t care, just waved her hand and walked out the door.

Fang Xiu looked at her back, thoughtfully.

From what the boy said, Xia Yixue seemed to have been here more than once, and she had never bought any wine before.

Somehow, he said, “Captain Xia!”

Xia Yixue stopped and looked back at Fang Xiu, with no expression on her face.

Fang Xiu thought for a while and asked, “Captain Xia, can you please give me a favor and have a drink together?”

Xia Yixue looked over Fang Xiu and looked behind him.

There is a jug of wine on the table and a wine glass next to it.

The wine glass was clear and transparent, and it was clearly a fine wine that she had not been able to taste after several visits – she would only be able to rest once she was drunk.

Xia Yixue looked at the wine glass, then at Fang Xiu, and finally nodded.

A moment later, at the wine table, Fang Xiu looked at Xia Yixue, with a few black lines appearing on his face.

In less than a stick of incense, he watched with his own eyes how Xia Yixue drank glass after glass of wine.

She didn’t stop until her pretty face turned red and her eyes became blurred.

I don’t know what her drinking capacity is. Even a good drinker like Wu Yi can only drink a glass of wine with that concentration.

After drinking a pot, she could actually sit still and say

, “Thank you.”

From the beginning to the end, Xia Yixue only said this when she stood up to leave.

Fang Xiu couldn’t help but twitching his face.

I was really in a daze before I remembered to treat her to a drink.

“It’s okay. This Chunfeng Tower is the property of the Fang family. Next time Captor Xia comes, just give me Fang Xiu’s name.”

In any case, Xia Yixue is also the Captor of Kyoto, the eldest daughter of the British father, and she only pays a few You can gain her favor by paying for the drinks, which is always a good deal.

When Xia Yixue heard this, she showed a rare hesitation. After a long time, she said, “Next time, I’ll treat you.”

Fang Xiu was a little disappointed.

The meaning of this sentence couldn’t be more obvious. If I buy her a drink this time, she will return it the next time. We don’t owe each other anything.

It seems that the ‘Xia Demon’ in the mouth of the dandy is definitely not in vain. If he can be easily bribed by wine, what kind of demon would he be called?
