Chapter 26 Going to Qingfeng Building
After Feng Yuanchen left, Sheng Zhiyao followed him out. Along the way, she always felt a pair of eyes watching her: "Meier, are we being watched by others?"
"Yes, this person has been following the lady since she left the house until now." Meier answered her question softly.
"Is he from Feng Yuanqing?" Sheng Zhiyao guessed without thinking.
"It should be, but don't worry, miss, Gong Jie has already gone to deal with it." Meier didn't expect that her master would find someone following her, and he didn't want to alarm her.
Sheng Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Well, let's go to Qingfeng Tower."
Mei'er nodded and followed Sheng Zhiyao towards Qingfeng Tower.
Shopkeeper Liu from Qingfeng Building quickly came forward to greet her and Meier when he saw them arriving. His eyes were full of excitement: "Miss, you are finally here. The boss has been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Shopkeeper Liu, don't be so polite and call me Miss. From now on, just follow Grandpa Ding and call me Zhiyao." Sheng Zhiyao said to Shopkeeper Liu with a smile.
Shopkeeper Liu nodded happily when he heard this: "Yes, I will take you to see the boss now."
"No, you go about your business. I'll go find him in the kitchen."
"Okay, business has been really good recently, and I really can't leave."
Sheng Zhiyao nodded in understanding and took Meier to the kitchen. She saw a figure busy in the distance. Although the figure was just an outline, Sheng Zhiyao knew that it must be Grandpa Ding.
Grandpa Ding stopped what he was doing when he heard the footsteps, turned around and looked at Sheng Zhiyao with a kind face: "Zhiyao, you're here! Business has been so good these days, I've been busy all day
, many guests come here because of it, and after I finish these dishes, I will make a pot of tea for us two."
"good."
Not long after, Grandpa Ding came over after finishing his work, and the two started chatting while drinking hot tea.
"Why are you here today when you are free? Are you planning to sell me some new things again?"
"Yes! I came to you this time because I want to sell a batch of wine in your restaurant." Sheng Zhiyao said to Grandpa Ding with a smile.
"liquor?"
"Yes, a kind of wine called Maoxiang. This kind of wine is mellow and fragrant. It is soft, refreshing and sweet in the mouth. It will leave you with a long aftertaste after drinking it."
Grandpa Ding didn't seem to believe what Sheng Zhiyao said. Can such wine exist in this world?
"Oh? How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"Not much, only about ten small jars. The price is relatively cheap, only twenty taels of silver per jar."
"What? Twenty taels?" Grandpa Ding was surprised. Although there were not many good wines in his restaurant, the most expensive ones only cost 50 taels of silver per catty, while Sheng Zhiyao's Maoxiang cost 20 taels of silver per jar.
, it’s still a small jar, it’s a shame that she, a little kid, can figure it out. If the effect of this wine is as good as she said, then Qingfenglou will be no worse than Juxianlou in the future.
"Don't worry, I will never lie to you, Grandpa Ding. If you can't sell it, I will compensate you thirty taels of silver for a jar of wine." Sheng Zhiyao saw Grandpa Ding's concerns and explained confidently.
"I know you're not that kind of person, I'm just surprised. Since it's what you brought out, I have no reason to refuse it, but you can give me a little taste first."
"Then what's the problem?" Sheng Zhiyao had already taken out a bottle of Maoxiang wine that her grandfather had collected before. Because the bottle was made of special material and it was inconvenient to take it out, she could only pour it one bottle at a time.
Inside the small altar.
Sheng Zhiyao took out a small jar of cogongrass and handed it to Grandpa Ding: "I originally brought this jar to honor you, you taste it first."
Grandpa Ding took the wine jar she gave him and sniffed it. Sure enough, the aroma was very strong, so he poured a small cup and tasted it.
"Hmm." After tasting it for a long time, he couldn't help but praise: "Good wine, really good wine."
Sheng Zhiyao knew that Grandpa Ding liked him when he saw his expression.
"Did your little girl really make this wine?"
"That's right, this is just one of them. If this one can be sold in Qingfeng Building, the others will still be sent here for sale when they are brewed."
Grandpa Ding was immediately happy when he heard this.
"Haha, you think you are so young that you can come up with so many things!"
"Actually, it's nothing. I just read too much and figured it out."
"Reading?" Grandpa Ding asked a little strangely.
"Well, when I have nothing to do, I like to read books, all kinds of books." Sheng Zhiyao casually thought of a reason and hesitated.
Grandpa Ding didn't suspect anything and just nodded silently.
Sheng Zhiyao drank tea, and Grandpa Ding held the wine. The two of them chatted and the time passed in a flash. During this period, she also asked Meier to go back home and deliver the ten jars of wine in her room. Grandpa Ding looked at
The eyes of those ten jars of wine were shining with gold.
After returning home, Sheng Zhiyao went directly to her room, but Gong Jie was waiting for her in the room first. When she came in, he immediately reported: "Master, the person in the morning was indeed sent by Feng Yuanqing."
"Why would he send someone to monitor me?" Sheng Zhiyao frowned.
"I don't know."
Sheng Zhiyao suddenly thought of what Feng Yuanqing said at noon, and a wry smile appeared on her lips unconsciously: "I think he is afraid that I will run away."
Gong Jie didn't dare to answer. Although no one else heard Feng Yuanqing's words at noon, he naturally heard them clearly.
Sheng Zhiyao did not want to continue this topic and waved her hand to ask him to leave.
She sat on the bed and fell into deep thought. If Feng Yuanqing sent someone to monitor her this time, what was his purpose? Did he want to arrest her? Probably not. Feng Yuanqing didn't have that need. So what exactly was he doing?
What do you want to do?
Did he want to threaten Feng Yuanchen by arresting me?
Thinking of this, her heart moved. Could it be that Feng Yuanqing discovered the relationship between her grandfather and Feng Yuanchen and wanted to use her to force him?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly called Gong Jie: "Send someone to find out about Feng Yuanqing and see if he has sent someone to leave the capital."
"Yes!" Gong Jie accepted the order and disappeared into the dark night.
"Do you think Feng Yuanqing will attack grandpa?" Sheng Zhiyao suddenly asked Mei'er beside her with some worry.
"Miss, if Feng Yuanqing really knows about the old Marquis, he will definitely do it."
The night was getting darker and it was past midnight, and the moon was rising in the sky.
Feng Yuanqing in the Second Prince's Mansion was lying on the sofa and sleeping. Outside his bedroom door, a masked man in black knelt on the ground. He respectfully reported: "I'm reporting to the emperor, my subordinates have found out."
.”
"explain."
"According to the investigation by my subordinates, an old man saved Feng Yuanchen when he was assassinated seven years ago. The old man had good medical skills and brought him back to life in just three days. However, there is no definite evidence to prove that this old man is Sheng Lixin."
When Feng Yuanqing heard the news, he was not too surprised. After all, it had been twelve years since Sheng Lixin's death. He had sent people to kill the old marquis and the housekeeper of Shenghou Mansion at the old residence of the Sheng family.
But the strange thing is that the next day, Mr. Sheng, the old marquis, appeared in the courtyard of the old house intact. Until now, he has always thought that the current Sheng Lixin was fake, but he had no evidence. He originally wanted to have dinner at the Marquis Mansion today.
I looked around, but the old Marquis didn't come.
Feng Yuanqing stood up from the bed and walked slowly on the spot. He recalled Sheng Lixin's appearance, characteristics and behavior in his mind. He must find some clues to expose him.
"Keep checking! I want to see who this person is."
"yes."
Feng Yuanqing returned to the soft couch and lay back down. He still had many things to deal with now. Regardless of whether Sheng Lixin was real or fake, he must win over Sheng Zhiyao, the Princess of Yongchen County. After all, she was the one who could get it.
