Chapter 287
When Feng Qing lost interest in looking at the white shadow, Fang Zheng asserted with an unclear expression, "Madam, my husband's boxing and kicking skills are probably incomparable to Mr. Deng's."
Feng Qing glanced at Fang Zheng strangely, "Why are your husband competing with him?"
"Don't you like ladies who are good at boxing and kicking?" The tone sounded a little sad.
Pfft——
Not caring about the gazes of passers-by, Feng Qing directly took Fang Zheng's arm and shook it, "What do you think, sir? There are so many people in the world who know how to box and kick. If I like it, can I like it? They come here?"
It’s not you, my husband.”
The coldness in his eyes melted away like the first snow, and was covered by warmth. His gaze fell on the thin white hand on his arm, and Fang Zheng smiled slowly, "That's what the lady said."
"Let's go back." Fang Zheng held Feng Qing's hand tightly under his long sleeves.
Feng Qing, who still didn't know that his husband-in-law was already tumbling in a sea of jealousy, responded with a smile, and the two of them went home.
After not coming back for two or three days, Feng Qing felt a little strange when he first entered the courtyard.
After I tidied up the house briefly, I gradually became familiar with it.
When they lived in the county town, they had to eat three meals a day. After cleaning up, it was almost noon. Feng Qing scooped out half of the braised pork he brought back, and put it in the pot to continue frying according to Fang Jiang's instructions.
.
During the first meal after returning, Fang Zheng didn't want his wife to do the work on her own, so he helped look after the fire, while Feng Qing picked and washed vegetables, occasionally chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was just right.
After the food was on the table, the two of them washed their hands and sat at the table. Just as they picked up their chopsticks, there was a knock on the door.
Looking at each other, Fang Zheng stood up and said, "Go for my husband."
The visitor is Shopkeeper Qi.
Shopkeeper Qi was carrying a three-layer food box in one hand and a small jar of wine in the other. He said with a smile, "The young master and his wife have been away for several days. Today they are back. I think about you two Zhou Che."
Lao Dun, why don't I bring you some food? This dish is made by my old friend from the same restaurant you ate at last time, and it tastes pretty good."
"You're welcome, Shopkeeper Qi." Fang Zheng let the person in.
Shopkeeper Qi usually went to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. Fang Zheng knew that his wife was also anxious to make money. Fang Zheng originally thought of taking her back to rest for a few days and then talk about everything when she got back. The trip only lasted three days.
Fang Zheng wanted to let Feng Qingduo rest for a while. He said to Shopkeeper Qi, "Shopkeeper, if it is a small piece of embroidery, you can talk to the lady. If it is a large piece of embroidery, I don't know when the deadline will be?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Fang. Although it's a big deal this time, you don't need it urgently. I'm just here to talk to Mrs. Fang. What I want this time is not from our county, nor from Linxian County." Shopkeeper Qi lowered his voice, with a look in his eyes.
Excitedly, "The guest this time is from Jingzhou, and he came here to look for me."
It turned out that the wealthy family was somewhat related to Tongpan of Jingzhou Prefecture last time. It happened that Mrs. Tongpan went to her sister's house in Linxian County and went to the wedding banquet. Mrs. Tongpan took a look at the bride's wedding dress.
Mrs. Tongpan has two sons and one daughter. The youngest daughter is Tongpan's old son. She is the favorite of Tongpan and his wife. They discussed getting married last year and will get married in October this year.
That is to say, Feng Qing will embroider the wedding dress ten months ago.
Feng Qing also heard Shopkeeper Qi's voice. She stood up and stepped forward to greet him.
Now that he saw Feng Qing, shopkeeper Qi had no intention of entering the house. He handed the food box to Fang Zheng with both hands and briefly explained to Feng Qing.
Then he looked at Feng Qing carefully, "Mrs. Fang, what are your plans?"
This is not only a business, this is most likely the best way to promote the reputation of his shop and Feng Qing's skills, but Feng Qing is the key figure.
Faced with an official's wife, especially an official from the Jingzhou Mansion, not only Feng Qing, but also Shopkeeper Qi didn't know what to do. He was worried that Feng Qing would not be willing to grovel in front of Mrs. Guan.
"What about the reward from Mrs. Tongpan?" Feng Qing was more concerned about this.
Shopkeeper Qi breathed a sigh of relief and pointed out five fingers, "The person in charge said that if the embroidered wedding dress satisfies their wife, they will give her this number."
Five thousand taels is not a small amount of money.
This Mrs. Tongpan is really rich.
Feng Qing has no intention of hating the rich. The money is there, and whoever has the ability will make it.
But this is not a trivial matter. Feng Qing is not worried about the other party being dissatisfied. However, the privileged class here is different from that of later generations. They always have to deal with it carefully. Feng Qing looked at Fang Zheng and said, "Ms., what do you think?"
"If Madam is willing, accept them. If you don't want to deal with them, don't accept them. Madam, don't worry about offending others. Your husband is here," Fang Zheng replied.
"Shopkeeper Qi, can I think about it for another two days?" Feng Qing didn't decide immediately, she said.
"Of course, I didn't agree directly. The person in charge said he would come back some day." Shopkeeper Qi is a smart man, and with Fang Zheng around, he didn't give Feng Qing any clever advice.
After sending Shopkeeper Qi away, Feng Qing sniffed, smelled the aroma wafting from the food box, and swallowed his saliva, "Mr., I seem to smell the smell of braised fish."
Feng Qing's expression of "I'm not in a hurry" made Fang Zheng laugh. He led Feng Qing into the house and opened the food box. As expected, the top layer was braised fish and steamed pork ribs with rice flour, and the middle layer was grilled eggplant and stir-fried lotus root.
slices, and the bottom layer is two plates of exquisite dim sum.
"Ms. sir, we can't finish the meal, there's so much." Feng Qing sighed, "Shopkeeper Qi is so polite, it makes me embarrassed not to agree."
In fact, Feng Qing could tell that Shopkeeper Qi was more willing to take over Mrs. Tongpan's business.
"My wife is not someone who can be bribed with just a few dishes." Fang Zheng smiled and tapped the tip of her nose.
My wife clearly had a plan in mind, but she insisted on delaying it for a few days, probably just to tease Shopkeeper Qi.
Fang Zheng didn't see any flattery on Feng Qing's face, as if Mrs. Tongpan was no different from ordinary guests. This was what made her unique.
Don't say that the lady comes from a later generation and is well-informed, so there is nothing strange about her.
Even the people of future generations have thousands of categories. Fang Zheng knows that there are not many people today or in future generations who are as unfazed by the concubine as the lady.
As for Feng Qing's decision, Fang Zheng did not intend to interfere. He placed the dishes and snacks one by one and said with a smile, "Madam, eat as much as you can. If you can't finish it, don't force it."
Just stop holding on.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Feng Qing said, "If I had known better, I would have brought my mother and my second sister-in-law with me. My second sister-in-law will definitely be able to finish the table full of dishes."
After thinking about it, Feng Qing simply found a clean plate, took out some of each dish, and put it aside, "Save these for dinner."
This dish is not bad at night.
The two of them substituted water for wine and drank several glasses of water while eating. This novel way and Feng Qing's various excuses for toasting made the smile on Fang Zheng's face linger for a long time.
After eating the meal, Feng Qing didn't keep Shopkeeper Qi waiting. That afternoon, she went to the shop and told Shopkeeper Qi that she had taken over the business.
It is said that if you have money, you are a bastard.
Who thinks it’s too much money?
