Volume 1: The Swan Goose Chapter 10: The Beauty of the Country Covers the Sadness (3)
As Hua Fangyi moved lightly with her lotus steps, her true face was slowly revealed, and the entire East China Sea Dragon Palace suddenly lost its color: she looked to be in her early twenties, with a high nose, fair skin, willow eyebrows and cherry lips, and was extremely bright.
Although she lives in the dust of the world, there is no trace of weather on her face, which is like cream. There is a kind of graceful charm in her every move, every frown and every smile, which is completely beyond her appearance!
Even Lu Ning, who is also a woman, was dumbfounded and couldn't help but admire: There really is such a stunning woman in this world!
Without even looking at the others, Hua Fangyi walked directly to several boxes, pointed at one of the boxes casually, and said calmly: "Xiaobei, keep this one, and send the rest back to the caravan."
After saying that, she glanced at Lu Ning with her beautiful eyes and said coldly: "Since the Lu gang leader has dealt with that person, this matter will be dropped. I will transfer this box of gold and silver to the family of the deceased. The loss to the annex is not big, we
Although they are not as rich as the caravans, they are not short of such a small amount of money!"
After saying that, she sat down at the table and said indifferently: "Since everything you want to say has been said and everything you want to do has been done, let's sit down and eat and drink! Don't waste your time on the prince.
of my mind.”
Since she appeared, her powerful aura has taken over the entire audience. Mr. Murong and the four of them stood blankly, staring at her blankly, even forgetting the proper etiquette.
It was Lu Ning who coughed lightly and brought the two of them back from their wandering thoughts. Seeing the slightly stunned look on Hua Fangyi's face, the two quickly averted their gazes and sat down in embarrassment.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Lu Ning quickly poured a glass of wine and raised his glass to Hua Fangyi: "Miss Fangyi, although you, sir, have a lot of things that you will not pursue, I still want to make amends to you on behalf of my brothers in the gang. This is
I'll drink it first as a token of respect!" After saying that, she raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
Hua Fangyi played with the jade cup in her hand and said coldly: "Sorry, it's not appropriate for me to drink today."
Lu Ning was startled for a moment, then waved to Ping Siyi and said with a smile: "Ping Si, give the landlady more tea. Since the landlady doesn't drink, I'll replace the wine with tea."
Ping Si stood up quickly, picked up the teapot and poured tea for Hua Fangyi.
Hua Fangyi looked at the amber tea soup, slowly flowing out from the mouth of the white-glazed teapot, frowning slightly and showing displeasure: "It's not that I don't give face to the Lu gang leader, but I really don't like drinking tea. I don't understand these polite manners.
It’s better to skip it. The food is almost cold, so let’s eat first.”
As she spoke, she pointed to the shining silver plates on the table and proudly introduced the special dishes here: crab stuffed with orange, double hump dime, snow cloud soup, Guanghan cake, jellyfish dumpling, etc.
But these dishes, which make people salivate just by hearing their names, did not arouse the appetite of the three of them. Facing an ice-cold beauty, the three of them felt on pins and needles. However, now that they knew the purpose of the other party, they also learned from their predecessors.
The three people's faces did not show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.
Shaoqing, Mr. Murong poured himself a drink and asked with a smile: "Thank you very much, the landlady, for disregarding the previous suspicion and entertaining us with such good wine and delicious food. I wonder if we can meet the family of the deceased. Although we have lost the money,
Yin, I still want to apologize in person!"
Perhaps she didn't expect her husband to make such a request. Hua Fangyi's face froze slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
She looked at Mr. Murong and said angrily: "My daughter, who was brought up with so much hard work, was beaten to death by your brothers for no reason. I don't think the family of the deceased would want to see you. I'm afraid they might hate you before it's too late."
"What the landlady said makes sense." Ping Si took over the words and continued: "Since the family members don't want to see us, let us go to the grave to worship and burn some paper money for the deceased to express our feelings."
Hua Fangyi took a deep look at him and sneered: "Her body has been sent back to her hometown. A round trip will take at least a month or two. Do you really want to travel thousands of miles?"
"This is not difficult." Lu Ning drank a glass of wine and said with a faint smile: "The caravan has semicolons all over the world. As long as you know where the deceased is buried, you can ask the brothers from nearby semicolons to come and worship, even in front of the spiritual tablet.
It’s also okay to put incense sticks on it.”
The three of them sang in harmony and cooperated tacitly, regaining control of the momentum of the entire audience with just a few words, suppressing Hua Fangyi's arrogance inch by inch.
Hua Fangyi finally saw through the purpose of several people. She raised her lips slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, since the leader of the Lu Gang has said so, I will help you find out about this matter. However, if the family members are not willing to tell you,
, there’s nothing I can do.”
"Okay. Thank you so much, boss lady!" Lu Ning smiled faintly, still raised his glass to salute her, and said: "Then we don't know each other. No matter what kind of grievances we have in the past, I hope they can be wiped out from now on. I'm new here.
, I still don’t understand the rules of Shengjing. However, in our place, doing business requires harmony and wealth, and neighbors should help each other! In the future, whether it is the proprietress or the Xiaoxiang villa, wherever our caravan is needed, we will try our best to help.
!”
Mr. Murong and Heping Si also raised their glasses one after another, looked at Hua Fangyi, and told her with compelling eyes: We already know the truth of the matter, and we have given enough face! We have good intentions and have not exposed it, so you can stop it.
!
Although Hua Fangyi felt a little unwilling, she knew she was in the wrong, so she had to pour herself a glass, raise her head and drink it all in one gulp.
Putting down her wine glass, she stood up and bowed slightly to the three of them: "It's a busy time in the annex, and I have to entertain guests. Please be patient, I'm sorry that I can't accompany you."
The three of them wisely did not hold back. Hua Fangyi waved her sleeves and turned around to leave.
As soon as he went out, he saw Yan Rong standing outside the door, and he immediately lost his temper: "I grew up with the prince, how could I not learn how to do it well, and now I have started eavesdropping!"
Yan Rong smiled and touched his nose, and said humbly: "I just happened to pass by here and was curious about what you said, so I just listened to a few words."
Hua Fangyi stared at him and said angrily: "Are you worried about me doing things, or is it the prince?"
Yan Rong quickly waved his hand and said with a flattering smile: "How can we not trust Fangfang! You are too worried!"
Hua Fangyi rolled her eyes at him and said coldly: "In that case, there is no need for me to repeat it anymore. You can quickly report to the prince! It's really unbearable to deal with this kind of charlatan. I'm going to take a rest."
With that said, she stepped up and was about to leave, but Yan Rong grabbed her sleeve.
"What are you doing?" Hua Fangyi glared at him and pulled back her sleeve.
Yan Rong looked at her expression and asked curiously: "The prince asked you to just show off, but why do you look really angry? What are you angry about?"
"I want you to take care of it!" Hua Fangyi calmed down and then asked again: "Didn't the prince say that the leader of the caravan is a highly respected old general? How come he is a pretty girl? Change my original plan.
Everything is messed up!"
Yan Rong finally knew what she was angry about, and could only smile bitterly: "You can't blame the prince. We only found out about this when they entered the city. The prince guessed that Shengjing was at the feet of the emperor, and perhaps the old general did not want to have contact with him anymore.
Someone in the imperial court must have temporarily designated a new successor."
Hua Fangyi breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "Since the old gang leader has retired and has no intention of participating in government affairs anymore, I think the prince should give up the caravan and find another good horse. There are so many people in the world who can fight, why do you have to fight in the caravan?
Hang yourself from a tree. I believe that as long as the prince gives the order, many people with lofty ideals will come here..."
"What's wrong with you today?" Yan Rong interrupted her coldly, changed his playful smile, and scolded unhappily: "You never dare to ask about the prince's affairs on weekdays, why do you start to point fingers in this matter?
If the prince hears this, he will definitely be furious!"
Hua Fangyi took a deep breath, stabilized her mind, and then said softly: "I made a mistake, and I was just concerned and confused. This young gang leader seems young and ignorant of the world, but he is a powerful character. I'm worried
In the end, the prince failed to win over her and was used by him instead."
"You don't have to worry about this. The prince has his own sense of proportion. It's best for you to ask less about this matter. Asking too much will not be good for you! You know the prince's temper." Yan Rong frowned and asked again:
"By the way, has that damn singer been dismissed? She shouldn't be seen by the caravan people anymore, right? This matter must not go through the gang!"
"Don't worry." Hua Fangyi's attitude also softened: "Only a fool will come back if he has more money than he can spend in a lifetime! Besides, she knows that the prince is behind the villa, so she doesn't dare to act wildly."
Yan Rong nodded approvingly and asked: "What about the women we brought back? Are they properly placed?"
Hua Fangyi raised her eyebrows and looked at him sideways, and said angrily: "How worried are you about me? She lives here and serves her all day long with delicious food and drinks. Every move is under my nose.
, what else could happen?"
"You put her in the Xiaoxiang villa?" Yan Rong whispered, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with the result: "There are people coming and going here, and Zhang Heng is a frequent visitor to the villa. Isn't she very dangerous?"
Hua Fangyi rolled her eyes at him and sneered: "Thank you for studying the art of war! You don't understand such a simple principle as 'hidden trees in the forest'! It's just because there are so many women here that no one pays attention to any one woman.
Moreover, if you put her here, whether you or the prince want to meet her, it will not arouse others' suspicion. They will only think that you are meeting your sweetheart here!"
Yan Rong suddenly realized it and hurriedly raised his hands and smiled: "Awesome, awesome! I didn't expect that Fangfang would teach me a lesson today! I didn't expect this!"
"Don't call me Fangfang, it's so disgusting!" Hua Fangyi frowned and glared at him with disgust.
While the two were talking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the end of the corridor, and two charming and gorgeous beauties walked up the stairs gracefully.
When they saw Yan Rong, they immediately surrounded him, saying coquettishly to each other: "Master Yan, why didn't you look for us when you got here? Did you abandon us and find a new love?"
"How is that possible?" Yan Rong returned to his usual frivolity, hugging their waists, and smiled repeatedly: "How can other women be as good as you! It's just that I was busy the past few days, so I couldn't get away.
Look, didn’t I come here today? I was planning to go find you right after I finished speaking!”
As he spoke, he patted the bulging money bag, which he had specially asked for from Prince Yi before going out. The prince was very generous and threw his money bag directly to him.
"Then you are not allowed to leave today!" The two girls' eyes sparkled, and each of them immediately held one of his arms. They were so tired of him that they refused to let go, for fear that if they let go, Yan Rong would be betrayed.
The woman snatched it away.
No wonder they are like this! Compared with those wealthy but vulgar guests, Yan Rong is not only handsome and generous, but also good at talking. What woman wouldn't like such a man!
Although they knew that he was a philanderer, the singers in the Xiaoxiang Villa were all vying to serve him, and they often fought openly and secretly for this, and even went so far as to fight!
"Fangfang, I will tell my brother what happened today. I am busy now!" Yan Rong showed a proud smile to Hua Fangyi, then hugged the two beauties and left gracefully.
Only Hua Fangyi was left, looking thoughtfully at the door of Zihuazhai for a long time before leaving sadly. This chapter has been completed!
