Twin Brocade

Chapter 213 Listening to the Perfume Pavilion
There is silver thread woven on the collar of his collar, and he looks like a servant of a powerful family with status.

Wu Shan stretched out his arm to block him, with a look of vigilance in his eyes, and said, "Who do you dare to ask Your Excellency?"

The burly man clasped his hands and said with a smile: "At Xialu Heng, he is the guard next to the young master of Guicheng Houfu. The young master is listening to Xiangxiang Pavilion wrapping up the yard, and it happens to be admiring the lanterns. The girls and young masters of the Fang family are all very noble. How can I be crowded here, so I’m here to invite you.”

Fang Ziquan and Fang Jinhui didn't know about this, so they hesitated when they heard this.

Without the presence of the elders, they alone could not compete with Cui Sheng.Besides, he treated each other with courtesy, and heard that Xiangxiang Pavilion is at the head of Tianjin Bridge, which is a first-class place to watch lanterns during the Lantern Festival.If he ignores his kindness, I'm afraid there will be twists and turns.

Fang Mudi's heart tightened, and it really came!What she had been worrying about was about to happen.She clenched her fists quietly, and found that she was not as nervous as she imagined when the situation came to an end.

"Brother, the little marquis has some kindness, so let's go and have a look." Fang Jinshu said.

"Alright, please lead the way." Fang Ziquan said decisively.

He knew in his heart that since Cui Sheng came to invite him, he didn't intend to go back empty-handed.The Shangyuan Festival is so lively, they are just half-grown children who take their servants out to watch the lanterns, no one will pay special attention.For the Fang family, it is the best choice not to make this matter a big deal.

Wu Shan and Lu Heng protected a few people, squeezed out of the crowd, and boarded the carriage sent by Cui Sheng to pick them up at the street corner.

Listening to Perfume Pavilion, the lights are hidden among the trees, and the thin white snow adds a bit of quiet poetry to the carefully crafted garden.According to the occasion, many lanterns of various colors were hung for guests to guess lantern riddles, but the hustle and bustle outside did not seem to affect the tranquility here.

The carriage drove in from the gate of the Perfume Pavilion, and stopped directly at the gate of a courtyard.A woman in Tsing Yi in her thirties greeted her at the door, bowed and said, "Miss Di, please follow me."

Fang Mudi was at a loss, glanced back at Fang Jinshu, and asked, "What about them?"

"You don't have to worry, it's natural that someone will entertain Master Fang's Young Master and Miss." While speaking, a servant girl came forward, bowed her knees and said: "Young Master, Miss, this way please."

Looking at the situation, Cui Sheng was already prepared.He reserved two adjacent courtyards, one for entertaining Fang Ziquan and three people who came with Fang Mudi, and the other for meeting Fang Mudi.

When the incident happened suddenly, Fang Jinshu took a step forward and said in a crisp voice: "Aunt Tang, we are next door, and we will wait for you to go back together at the hour of Haishi."

Her eyes reflected the firelight in the courtyard, and there was orange warmth in her dark eyes. Fang Mudi suddenly settled down, and followed the woman in Tsing Yi to the small courtyard on the right with a "hmm".

Tingxiangxie is a well-known private dish in Beijing. It is different from Zuibailou where people come and go. It pays attention to privacy and elegance.High-ranking merchants have a banquet, and I like to hold a banquet in Zuibailou. The picture is a famous and bold person who can feast on guests.

And here, there is no lobby, it is all composed of different exquisite courtyards, and the carriage can drive directly to the gate of the courtyard.The mistress here has received strict nursing care and will never reveal half of the customer's information, otherwise she will not only lose her lucrative job, but also implicate her family.

Therefore, important ministers and nobles in the court like to entertain guests here.Those who don't have enough status may not be able to book the yard here even if they spend money.

Among the three members of the Fang family, except for Fang Jinshu who came here as the daughter of Dingguo Duke's family in the previous life, it was the first time for Fang Ziquan and Fang Jinhui to come.Seeing the familiar delicacy in front of him, Fang Jinshu seemed to be in a dream.In her previous life, she had never been here since she became a queen.

Pushing open the window, outside is the Luoshui flowing quietly.

The lights on both sides of the river are reflected in the river, dotted with stars, as if a layer of gold powder has been sprinkled on the river surface, reflecting sparkling waves.The prosperity of the city overshadows the stars in the sky.On Luoshui, there are painted boats with carved beams and painted buildings driving slowly on it, and the sound of silk and bamboo is heard from a distance in the air.

"It really deserves to be the first place to watch lanterns." Fang Ziquan praised: "Take a quiet place amidst the noise, it's heaven and earth."

"Well said." Fang Jinhui was a little worried, and said, "We are only able to see such a beautiful scenery because of the honor of our aunt. But is there anything wrong with her?"

Fang Jinshu said: "Eldest sister, don't worry, younger sister is watching, the young master has a heart for his aunt."

"How old are you?" Fang Jinhui said angrily, "Knowing what it means to have a heart? However, my cousin has no other choice but to marry the young master as a concubine. I can't. If you twist your hair and become an aunt, that would be too desolate." gone."

After all, Fang Mudi's status was too low.Even though he has the looks of a city, he doesn't have the corresponding status, that's why he was bullied by Cui Sheng like this.If she is the daughter of a noble family, even if she is a dumb overlord, she would not dare to belittle her in broad daylight that day.

All three of them knew this fact and remained silent.There was a sense of powerlessness in their hearts, Fang Ziquan looked at the sisters in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely study well, and I won't let you suffer such a thing."

Without strength, how can you protect your family?
Seeing the determination in his eyes, Fang Jinshu's heart warmed, and he responded softly, saying, "Brother, don't push yourself too hard. Father is here."

"Yes, we have a father." Fang Jinhui has unconditional trust and dependence on his father.

Xiaoer came in with a food box, one after another delicate dishes exuded tempting aromas, and were gently placed on the table by the maid listening to the perfume pavilion.The ones here are different from other restaurants, every dish is exquisite, and the smell is very exciting.

"Come on, let's eat first." Fang Ziquan was the first to let go of his mind. It's useless for them to worry about Fang Mudi's matter here.

Fang Jinshu smiled and said, "How can I live up to such a beautiful day?"

Cui Sheng was very considerate. In order to meet Fang Mudi, he arranged so carefully and meticulously, which made people doubt his reputation as a dumb king.

The same delicate dishes were also placed on the table between Fang Mudi and Cui Sheng.Fang Mudi sat on one side of the table, clenched his hands on his knees, looked down at the lotus flower embroidered on his skirt, and his eyelashes trembled slightly with nervousness.

There were only the two of them in the room, and the rest of the irrelevant people were driven out by Cui Sheng and guarded outside the door.

He was sitting opposite her, looking at her thinned face, with mixed emotions in his heart, and a little regret.She was really too thin, and her body was so delicate that it seemed that he could blow her away with one breath, and blow her away if he breathed too hard.

Her long eyelashes, like a fan, seemed to fan his heart.It made him want to hold her in his arms to pick up the fragrance, but he was afraid of shocking her, and it would be impossible to capture her heart from now on.

Cui Sheng clenched his fists, restrained himself with all his strength, and asked hoarsely, "Are you afraid of me?"
