Queen of flowers - Chapter 16

Yong Ruo looked at the door with tears in her eyes and saw a figure that looked like Feng Liao.

She wiped her tears in disbelief and looked intently. The figure turned out to be Feng Gongzi!

Feng Gongzi was very low-key. He wore a plain blue cloth robe, a Confucian scarf, and a blue silk loincloth on his waist. It wasn’t different from the clothes worn by the ordinary people who gathered in Beijing and prepared to participate in the Spring Festival. What was special was that he had a delicate two-tier large food box in his hand.

Two people followed him, one was Su Mingjian, and the other was the guard Rob who sent her back the day before. Su Mingjian carried a bag full of cloth on his shoulders, and a few bacon and sausages in his hand; Rob held a fresh lamb leg in one hand, and a large bamboo cage in the other one, there were several chickens inside it.

Feng Gongzi quickly walked to Yong Ruo, lowered the food box, and seemed to want to reach out to wipe her tears.

His hand froze midair for a while, then it turned into a fist, and closed it back.

His gaze drifted around the yard twice, and then he slightly coughed a little uncomfortably and asked softly, “What happened?”

The siblings of the Yong family had already been shocked when three people came in suddenly and stopped crying. When he asked them, Yong Qiao and Yong Miao began to cry again.

Yong Ruo stood up and bowed, “With the favor of the nobleman last night, today we invited a very famous doctor to see my mother …” The voice was choked, “As a result, the doctor returned the consultation fee. He couldn’t cure her.”

The doctor refused to prescribe medicines, and it meant one thing, even kids like Yong Qiao and Yong Miao understood that, so the meaning for Feng Liao and others were naturally clear.

Feng Gongzi slightly opened his lips, then turned and pulled Su Mingjian aside, and whispered in a voice that Yong Ruo couldn’t hear, “Go in person and invite Xu Taiyi.”

Su Mingjian hesitated, “But Young master’s safety?”

“There is Rob and many people outside here, and I’m an ordinary person. How can you not be reassured?” He solemnly exhorted, “You tell Taiyi Xu, not to reveal my identity.”

Su Mingjian had no choice but to comply, and came over to Yong Ruo to ask, “Girl, where is the kitchen?”

Yong Ruo looked at the things he carried on his shoulders and hands.

Yesterday she took the silver ingots and the clothes with an open heart; the twelve silver ingots were regarded as the reward for food and chat, and the leftovers were regarded as waste. She had not felt burdened by taking them.

But now that Feng Gongzi came to her house with these many things! Knowing that he was interested in her, she could no longer accept his funding with peace of mind—because the Young master who was extremely bored wasn’t merely doing good deeds!

“Young master, what do I do with these things?”

Her heart was tangled: should she tell him clearly? What should she say? Feng Gongzi wasn’t like the next door’s neighbor Jin Sanbao. If she refused him directly would it make him angry?

Feng Liao looked at her expression. He suddenly put his hands behind his back and said stubbornly, “It’s a reward for you!”

With the “reward” being said, most of the entanglement of Yong Ruo ran away. “Good, what did I do to “reward” me?” She bit the word “reward” especially heavily.

Feng Liao’s eyes fell on the plum blossoms in the courtyard, saying, “Yesterday, the plum blossom that you “dedicated” to me was too small.. The plum color was very good, and the flower shape was also beautiful. I need a bigger one for the vase. With my status, I can’t just ask for your family’s things, so I just picked up some things to reward you with!”

Yong Qiao and Yong Miao looked at Feng Gongzi in surprise, then at the plum tree. They never imagined that the plum blossoms they didn’t care about were so valuable! How many bacon sausages and lamb legs can they exchange it for if they sold all the flowers of the tree?!!

Yong Miao looked at Yong Ruo diligently, hoping she would not reject the “deal”; Yong Qiao frowned.

Yong Ruo was not so mindful. She thought, ‘The Young master is willing to grant rewards. This girl dares to take it, but don’t expect this girl to make a promise in return.

A polite smile raised on her face, “In this case, this little girl is ashamed to take it. The plum blossom tree is left for Young master. It’s okay to dig it out,” then she took the food box with both Su Mingjian and Rob to the kitchen. After Su Mingjian put down the things in the kitchen, he hurried out.

When Yong Ruo came out, she saw Feng Gongzi, who had dropped his hand behind his back and stood under the plum tree to admire the flowers.

Seeing Yong Ruo coming out, Feng Liao arched his hand, “Girl, can I meet your mother and greet her?” His expression was quite peaceful again!

Yong Ruo thought that Feng Gongzi’s ability to change his face was quite good! Where did he learn it from?

“My mother is asleep now, and she is sick, afraid that she will scare the Young master. Young master should go to the room to talk!” She declined Feng Gongzi’s kindness and instructed Yong Qiao and Yong Miao to guard her mother.

As for the basic etiquette of serving tea to visitors-it was still unnecessary! Because there wasn’t such a thing as “tea” in her house.

She couldn’t pick a few bamboo leaves, a few plum blossoms to make tea for him, right?

Feng Liao was not reluctant and followed her to the hall.

Normally in people’s homes, the main hall would be found in a different room.

There was an old shrine on the north wall of the hall, which was used for the “Tian dijun qin shi,[Tiandijun Teacher]” seat; a simple table for the shrine was used for the tablets of several ancestors and Dad Yong. In the middle of the hall, there was an Eight Immortals table surrounded by four stools. Apart from that, there was nothing in the hall.

Feng Liao didn’t disdain the empty hall, but instead sat down on the bench in a gentle manner, took out a name post from his sleeve, opened the box, and pushed it in front of Yong Ruo.

“This is the famous assassin promised to the girl. There is an address on it. If the girl is in trouble, you can take this to the famous assassin. He will definitely help!”
