Chapter 1491 Seafood Stew
Chapter 1491 Seafood Stew
Shang Xi, who was standing on the shallow side, was just woken up by the rustling sound. She looked at Cheng Feng, who was trying to sneak out, and asked, "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Cheng Feng turned around when he heard the sound and met Shang Xi's bright eyes. He thought his movements were very gentle, but he still woke Shang Xi up. "Wife, why are you awake?"
"Where are you going? Explain clearly that you won't let the three Han brothers live in your house, and you won't learn from them."
Shang Xi was not saying this casually. Every one of the three brothers of the Han family had three wives and four concubines, and many children. It was said that the second brother of the Han family was the most romantic. He had only been in Fengying for a few days, but he had already been in and out of brothels many times. Cheng Feng also hung out with these people at home all day long. Who knows if he would learn to be a bad person one day.
"What are you guessing? I know all their tricks!"
"How can people be easily treated? It only takes a few minutes for them to become bad."
"Hey, I've also been taught male virtue by my wife, how dare I do anything wrong?"
"Stop your nonsense." Shang Xi sat up, leaning her back against the bed, her arms crossed over her chest, as if she was about to interrogate Cheng Feng. "Confession will be treated leniently, resistance will be treated severely. I urge you to tell the truth. It's the middle of the night, where are you going dressed like this?"
"I'm leaving town!"
"Out of town?"
"Yes, I'm going to help my son reclaim the wasteland."
Shang Xi uncrossed her arms, leaned on the bed, and leaned her head and shoulders slightly forward. She said in disbelief, "Is this the way you came up with to save your son?"
"Wife, this is at least a solution. During the day, someone will be watching and not allowing anyone to help Youning. At night, I can secretly do something for my son without being discovered."
Shang Xi's eyes rolled, and she jumped off the bed, taking out a random set of clothes and putting them on.
Cheng Feng was puzzled, "Wife, why are you getting dressed?"
"I'll go with you. I can do the job, too. You're right. This is at least a solution. If we can do the job, Youning won't have to. Let's go, don't delay us. Your son will be gone by daybreak, and the people your uncle sent to monitor your son will show up on time. We can't let them find us. Let's hurry and avoid them."
"You really want to follow me in the dark? Think carefully, it's a desolate mountain."
"For Youning's sake, I'm afraid I have to go too. Stop talking nonsense. If you dawdle a little longer, it will be dawn."
"Okay, a husband and wife working together can achieve great things. I'll take you with me."
After the agreement was reached, the two men sneaked out of the house like thieves, taking their farm tools and leading their horses.
When they mounted their horses and left the palace behind them, they felt that they were halfway to success.
Shang Xi said happily: "Fortunately, Fengying has cancelled the curfew."
Looking at the brightly lit streets, Cheng Feng asked Shang Xi, "Wife, are you hungry? Should we go to the street to have a midnight snack before leaving the city?"
"now?"
"Yes, Zhujin Street, Gaotou Lane, and Manjiang Bridge are bustling at this time. They're open until three o'clock in the morning. They have all kinds of delicious food. Do you want to go and have some?"
"I'm not hungry, but I'd love to eat something. I didn't know I'd have to work on the land at night. I didn't eat much for dinner."
Cheng Feng immediately turned his horse around and said, "Let's go to Zhujin Street. There are a lot of delicious foods there."
Shang Xi also turned his horse around, and the two of them galloped straight towards Zhujin Street.
It was the beginning of the Hai period, and the streets were crowded with people coming and going. Various small vendors gathered here, offering everything from food and drink to entertainment. "Wife, what do you want to eat?"
Shang Xi went to a small restaurant and felt it was quite nice. "How about going to that restaurant?"
"Seafood stew? Okay, let's go have seafood stew."
At this time, the waiter, who was always keeping an eye on everything, was soliciting customers at the door. When he saw someone stopping at their door, he would desperately greet them, "Kelp and bamboo shoots, five-spice tea dried fish, monkey head abalone, jellyfish and kudzu, all cooked and cooked, with all five flavors. Sir, please come in."
Cheng Feng glanced inside the open shop door. The room was already full of people. Cheng Feng asked, "Is there any room left?"
The waiter quickly responded, "Yes, yes, yes. Even if there is no place for anyone, there must be a place for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
Cheng Feng glanced at the waiter and asked, "Do you know us?"
"In this imperial city of ours, there are very few people who don't know the Crown Prince and his wife, unless I am shortsighted."
This guy has a sweet mouth, no wonder the boss chose him to attract customers here.
Cheng Feng casually asked, "How much did your boss pay you? You're quite good at talking."
"Sir, is your Pangqing Palace still in need of anyone? If you like me, I am willing to work like a slave for you."
"Hey, I'm not short of money. I'm here to eat, not to poach your boss's employees. Please find us a place quickly. We have something important to do later."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess right away."
"Hey, Cheng Feng, Shang Xi?"
What a loud voice!
Shang Xi and Cheng Feng both looked in the direction of the voice. It was Cangman and Cangzhuo eating and drinking in the restaurant. "Hey, why are you two here?"
"My son is a frequent visitor here, but why are you two here too? This is the first time I meet you two here." Cangman waved at them, indicating that they should sit down with him.
"Shang Xi wants to eat seafood stew, so she's here." Then Cheng Feng told the waiter that there was no need to help find a seat, and they would sit at the table of Cangman and his son.
Cang Zhuo happily put down his chopsticks when he saw them, "Prince, Princess, where is your little brother? Why didn't he come?"
Shang Xi touched Cang Zhuo's little head and thought that as the saying goes, like birds, like birds, this son of Cang Man looks more and more like Cang Man. "Your little brother has a lot of schoolwork to do. I guess he won't be out for ten days or half a month."
"So miserable?"
Shang Xi nodded. At this time, Cang Man asked them, "Hey? I heard that the prince was reclaiming wasteland outside the north city these past two days. Is it true?"
"Who told you that?"
Cheng Feng really didn't want to mention his son. His son either cheated him or implicated him. Now Cheng Feng would experience all the lessons of a father taking responsibility for his son's mistakes and doing the work of a father for his son.
Cheng Feng did want his son to become successful, but not much. Now, the little hope he had for Cheng Youning was about to be burned to ashes. He never thought that one day, he, Cheng Feng, would have to secretly take his wife to reclaim wasteland outside the city on a moonless night with few stars.
"Who told you that? Go ask around. Isn't everyone aware that the prince is reclaiming wasteland outside the city?"
Cangman is still as well-informed as ever.
Cheng Feng had nothing to hide, and there was no shame in reclaiming wasteland. "I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly."
