Chapter 168: Suspicion at Dongshanzhuang (2)

Liu Zhiyuan folded a red plum, inserted it into Chen Bing's bun, and smiled and said, "Yesterday and the day before yesterday were naturally very beautiful, but the red plum in front of him was missing. Well, it's not bad. The fragrant flowers are paired with a beauty. After wearing this plum blossom, my second mother became more and more glorious."

Chen Bing thoughtfully, "Big Devil, when did I become your second wife again? Who cares about your plum blossoms? Humph!" Although he was thinking so in his heart, with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms coming, Chen Bing couldn't help but gently put the red plum that was inserted into his hair bun. After all, everyone loves beauty, so he asked, "Is it really good?"

Liu Zhiyuan nodded hurriedly and said, "It looks good, of course it looks good. If you don't believe it, you can call Yunniang to come and ask."

Chen Bing naturally would not ask, but at this time it was close to the pier beside Taihu Lake. There was a very grand flower boat parked in front of the pier. It was now past Shenzheng time. It was dark in winter, and the flower boat was covered with lanterns of various colors, shining on the lake surface, shining everywhere, shining, and glittering everywhere, very dazzling and beautiful.

Chen Bingyao pointed to the flower boat and asked Liu Zhiyuan: "Zhixing, this flower boat must be the boat that Fan Luming picked you and me up to Dongshan Island?"

Liu Zhiyuan had superb internal skills and agile ears. After looking into the distance, he nodded and said, "There are no other ships around the dock. It seems that this flower boat is here to pick you up and me, so it's impossible to make a mistake."

The five people worked another stick of incense before walking to the dock by Taihu Lake. The flower boat was already in front of everyone. The flower boat was more than fifteen feet long and six feet wide, with red paint all over his body, which looked very grand. The boat building was divided into two floors, and there were several servants standing on the side on the lower floor. There were a table of banquets on the upper floor, as if they were specially prepared for Liu Zhiyuan and others, and there were maids standing around them. There were lanterns hanging around the boat building, and the carvings were exquisite. Although the sky was a little dark, it could be seen that the carvings were extremely exquisite.

At this time, the five people had already walked into the flower boat. Fan Youshou stood sideways and stood respectfully on the side of the boat, saying, "President Liu also asked him to go to the second floor to rest for a while. Before the sky was completely dark, I immediately ordered someone to start the boat."

Liu Zhiyuan didn't even look at Fan Youshou, and even ignored him. He made way aside, held Chen Bing's hand and said, "This ladder is steep, be careful when walking."

Chen Bing smiled at him with a slim smile, and this smile was sweet to Liu Zhiyuan's eyes, making Liu Zhiyuan extremely enjoyable. The two of them held hands and walked slowly up the second floor as if no one was around.

Li Yunniang behind her had never set foot in such a luxurious place. She looked around curiously and freshly. Wherever she went, everything she saw was something she had never seen or heard of before. When she could get to the second floor, she saw the table with delicious food that she didn't dare to think about before, and she opened her mouth and said in surprise: "Ah! Erniang, are these foods really prepared for me? I, I don't dare..."

Chen Bing sat on the left hand of Liu Zhiyuan, smiled and said to Li Yunniang, "These are all the good intentions of the master. Since you come, you can rest assured, and you can eat with peace of mind." After saying that, he picked up a piece of winter bamboo shoots from the bacon and winter bamboo shoots for Liu Zhiyuan.

Liu Zhiyuan usually has a heavy diet and is very picky about food. He eats very little food that Jinniang and Chen Bing make. The food on this table is the characteristic of Zhejiang East Road, which is very light, which is even more unattracting to Liu Zhiyuan's eyes. Chen Bing is very clear about this, so she only picked up winter bamboo shoots full of salted meat soup for him.

Seeing this, Li Yunniang also put down her burden and sat opposite Chen Bing with Sun Qiniang. The two of them were already hungry and pressed their chests against their backs. Li Yunniang ignored them and picked up the crystal meat in front of them and stuffed them into her mouth. On the contrary, Sun Qiniang chewed them slowly when eating, and was much more reserved.

The dishes on the table are quite rich, and they are mostly special dishes from Liangzhe Road. Unfortunately, these delicacies are not as good as Liu Zhiyuan's appetite. After he ate a few bites, he stopped chopsticks. When Chen Bing saw it, he immediately picked up a roasted cookie cake and frowned and said, "You, how can you eat just this little? Even if you don't fit the taste, you have to eat some. You have to fill your stomach, otherwise where can you get the strength? Look, you can always swallow this roasted cookie cake? Then eat it. After returning to Huahu Village, as long as you have free time, I will personally make what you like for you." The implication is that if you can't even eat enough, how can you have the strength? How can you protect your beloved person without strength?

Liu Zhiyuan is also a smart person. He naturally understood Chen Bing's words. Moreover, Chen Bing handed him with his hands, so how could he not eat them? Therefore, he didn't say much and was very happy. He grabbed it with his hands and ate it in his mouth. In just a few breaths, he ate the cookie all.

After he finished eating the roasted pancake, Chen Bing felt a little relieved and poured a cup of tea for him. Liu Zhiyuan picked up the food and ate a few bites, looked around at the luxurious decorations, put down the tea cup and sighed, "This Fan Luming has disappeared for some years, and has become more luxurious."

Chen Bing asked, "You two have grown up together since childhood, so the relationship is pretty good?"

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Yes, although the Fan family in Wujiang is not a big family, there are some people. However, Fan Luming was not born in Wujiang. Oh, by the way, his name is Deguang and his courtesy name is Luming, and he is three years older than me. His father's wife has never been out of the box since she married into the Fan family. She is fierce and jealous. She took two concubines and used all kinds of methods by her, which led to her not being pregnant for several years. His father could not withstand such torture, so he secretly raised an outdoor room in Huating. Although his wife had the means, it was only used in the inner courtyard. She was far from reaching the outside matters, so she never knew about this outdoor room. In just over a year, the outdoor room in Huating gave birth to a son, which was Fan Luming, so he was actually born in the outdoor room."

Chen Bing sighed in his heart and said, "Oh, then Fan Luming thought he had suffered a lot when he was a child."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's fake if you don't eat any bitterness. After all, a child is innocent and speaks without restraint. Therefore, he was often amused by our playmates when he was a child. However, his father was very fond of this concubine, and in secret it was delicious food and drink. At that time, Fan Luming was the only bloodline of the Fan family."

Chen Bing suddenly said, "By the way, he seemed to have said that he had returned to Wujiang. Could it be that his father took him back?"

Liu Zhiyuan said, "It should be that when I was studying Wu, the Fan family's wife died of illness, and the Fan family, because of his wife, had no son or half of their daughters. At that time, he thought of Fan Luming from Huating. Even if he was a concubine, he would start to take him back to Wujiang to continue the family business. As for whether his father had another re-elected or even took a concubine, it is unknown whether he had never seen him since then. Now it seems that he is very comfortable."

Chen Bing nodded and said, "I didn't expect that he would have such a rough experience."

Liu Zhiyuan shook his head without comment and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time. I really don't know how he is now and whether he is married."

The few people talked for half an hour, and it was already dark at this time. Fortunately, the ship was approaching Dongshan Wharf, and the shipkeeper and the servants were shouting and adjusting the hull so that the flower boat could dock better.

The four of them walked out of the flower boat. Fan Youshou and Fan Youfu had already stood by. When they saw Liu Zhiyuan and his party leaving the dock, Fan Youfu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Prince Liu, are you satisfied with the food on this boat?" Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan did not pay attention to him, he still smiled and continued, "Ha, it doesn't matter if it doesn't suit the taste. My master gave instructions. When Liu Zhiyuan arrives at this Dongshan Island, he will invite Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi is on the hillside of this Dongshan Mountain. It takes half a quarter of an hour to go up the mountain. I will go forward to lead the way and ask Liu Guanzi not to blame him."

Chen Bing looked up at the mountain road in front of him. Lanterns were hung on both sides. The entire mountain road was like a long lit snake, winding upwards and reaching the mountainside. The mountain road was quite wide, and it was more than enough to walk side by side with four people. Liu Zhiyuan waved to Fan Youfu impatiently. Seeing him look arrogant, Fan Youfu felt angry and cursed in his stomach. However, after making a gesture of invitation, he carried the lantern and walked in front to guide everyone.

Fan Youshou was with Liu Zhiyuan and said respectfully, "Officiale Liu, although the mountain road is wider, it is still a little steeper. The night is dark. Please be more careful when you go."

Liu Zhiyuan ignored it. Chen Bing held Liu Zhiyuan's hand tightened slightly. Liu Zhiyuan understood and sighed helplessly, and said to Fan Youshou in a cold voice: "I'm working."

Fan Youshou seemed to be inspired and said happily: "Official Liu said this so much that he was a villain. The villain was just familiar with the here.

It’s just a mountain road, and Guan Ren Liu has never been here, so the villain needs to remind him.”

At this time, a night wind blew, but a burst of fragrance came. Chen Bing was so excited that he asked Fan Youshou, "Youshou, are plum blossoms planted on both sides of this mountain road?"

Fan Youshou was excited and hurriedly said, "When I go back to my wife, since my master bought this Dongshan Island, I sent me to reorganize the entire island. Although the mountain road is wide and wide, it was a narrow dirt road when I bought it. The owner spent a lot of money and effort to make this Dongshan Island look like it. After finishing it, the owner disliked the loss of interest in this road, so he sent people to plant plum trees on both sides of the road. It is now the time when the plum blossoms are in full bloom. Don't even say that on this road, you can smell this fragrance even in the village. If the weather is good during the day, looking around, the plum blossoms at the foot of the mountain are like seas of flowers, which really makes people intoxicated."

Chen Bing was very yearning in his heart and smiled, "When it's dawn tomorrow, I will definitely find the best place to enjoy the plum blossoms in the village and enjoy the plum blossoms on Dongshan Island." After saying that, Chen Bing raised his hand and closed the plum blossoms that were still stuck in her hair. She felt sweet in her heart, and still felt that Liu Zhiyuan and her actions were not true, but the hand he held showed that all this was not false, but that it really happened. She looked down at the hand held by Liu Zhiyuan. All the things she had with him in the past surged into her heart, and said in her heart: "Big Devil, I've given myself to you, you can't let me down." Suddenly, Chen Bing sneered, turned around and said to Liu Zhiyuan, "Knowledge and Action, you can accompany me to watch the sunrise and see the plum blossoms tomorrow morning, okay?"

Liu Zhiyuan was happy and smiled and said, "Okay, don't even say that you can see the plum blossoms, even if I ask me to pick the stars and the moon with you, I'm willing."
