After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 606 The gift of the Ke family

   There is an open lake in front of you, sparkling.

   "I'll go!" There is a lake on Qilin Mountain, and the area is not small! "Is the water deep?"

   "There must be four or five feet." Fu Shanyue stroked his chin, "It's good to come here to fish, or..."

  He compared a swimming posture.

   "Good place." He Lingchuan also smiled.

  The water plants by the lake are very tall, and the bushes on the bank are dense. As long as you enter the water from here, no one can keep an eye on him.

  Shui Dun is really more convenient than anything else, and it can also isolate the divine sense from detection. Doesn't Tongxinwei want to keep an eye on it? Make it difficult for them.

   "The emperor actually gave you a villa with a back door, no, a back lake."

  Fu Shanyue laughed loudly: "The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, how can he delve into these details? How many peaks and how many villas like this are there in Lingxu City? How can the emperor count them one by one?"

  He said again: "I heard that two servants of the original owner's family once threw children here. Later, I found out that there was a catfish in the lake that became a demon and ate people."

   "Are you caught?"

   "It took less than half a year to catch it." Fu Shanyue threw a stone into the water, and unexpectedly the water surface made a splash, as if some creature underneath was alarmed, "There is running water flowing down from the mountain, and this lake can't be drained."

  He Lingchuan stroked his chin: "That said, it would be bad if someone escaped through the waterway. There should be some guards in the lake."

   "How many monsters are you looking for?"

  He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Leave it to me, I happen to recognize it."

  In the past three days, give the rumors enough time to spread. Prince Huan murdered and set fire to the Panshan residence, which was witnessed by countless people, not only civilians, but also spies and eyeliners from various families were also on the scene, and they reported clearly when they went back.

  So not only the upper class in Lingxu City knew about it, but the news even spread across regions.

   More importantly, the emperor turned around and gave Fu Shanyue a big house.

  Everyone knows that this is appeasement, this is an apology, no matter how whitewashed it is, it will prove that Prince Huan committed the crime, and the royal family admits their mistake.

   Even the emperor can apologize silently, hey!

  The name of Prince Chiyan once again resounded throughout Lingxu City.

  So on the day of the reopening of Pianxiang Villa, this ancient house that had been silent for seven years was crowded with dignitaries, and everyone came to congratulate Prince Chiyan on his housewarming.

  The main character is Fu Shanyue, and the aura belongs to Fu Shanyue. Of course, He Lingchuan is happy to relax. No matter how noisy the front hall and backyard are, he just needs to hide in the kitchen to eat and drink.

   Fushan Yuexin recruited several cooks, three of whom are good at hot dishes, one is good at cold dishes, and the other is a chubby cook who is excellent at making wine and making dim sum. He Lingchuan said a few nice words to her, and immediately got two large plates full of various pastries.

  The hawthorn cake melted in the mouth, and He Lingchuan ate two in a row, thinking of Mrs. Ying for no reason.

   In the past in Heishui City, he and He Yue often ate the cook's dim sum secretly; the cook also knew that she often secretly put a pot of dim sum in the back cabinet for the two brothers, even though the taste was far inferior to what He Lingchuan ate now.

   I haven't seen He Yue for a long time, this kid should be the second in command of the Dunyu General Manager's Mansion.

   Mrs. Ying spent so much effort to build the garden, I don't know if it has been repaired now.

  He Lingchuan sighed, the hawthorn cake in his hand suddenly became stale.

  Recalling the days when he was the young master of Heishuicheng, the happiness at that time was pure happiness, and the troubles at that time were just simple troubles.

  It was only a year before and after, which seemed like a lifetime away.

  The cook was anxious: "Master, isn't it delicious?"

  He Lingchuan was serious: "It's not bad, there is still room for improvement."

   "It may be cold." The cook thought for a while, and took out another white pastry from the back cupboard. It was only the size of a palm, and it was not for hospitality at first glance: "Wait a minute."

   "..." Does every cook have a back cupboard for hiding things?

  She went into the kitchen and fiddled for a while, and soon came out, the pastry was steaming: "Come, try lard cake."

  He Lingchuan picked up a piece and tasted it. It was glutinous and soft, and the lard was mixed with osmanthus. It was fragrant but not greasy. It is especially satisfying to eat in autumn.

   "It's delicious. Isn't this for hospitality?"

   "No hospitality, this is made of a new batch of osmanthus flowers harvested from the old osmanthus trees in the villa. The quantity is too small to serve out."

  Osmanthus fragrans must be stored in a dry place in the shade, which is time-consuming.

   In the past three or four days, He Lingchuan has become acquainted here. He is also friendly, and the people in the back kitchen don't treat him as an outsider, so they gossip while busy.

  He Lingchuan ate and listened, only to realize that two more melons have exploded in Lingxu City in the past few days.

  First of all, Jia Qingmin, the prime minister of Shaofu, was involved in corruption, and Ting Wei wrote a letter to dismiss him for investigation.

   "How much is he greedy?"

   "It is said to be two million taels?" The cook muttered in a low voice, which could be heard by everyone within a three-foot radius.

   "Two million taels, isn't it a lot of money for such a big official to be greedy?" That is two billion dollars. It might be shocking to put it elsewhere, but the people of Lingxu City have seen the world, this number is not very surprising for the officials of Lingxu City. So the cooks were a little disappointed, "I heard that the Ke family, yes, is the Ke family who is rich in the world. Not long ago, they bought a broken sword and spent almost 900,000 taels."

   "Can that be the same thing?" The cook said again, "Gold and jewelry don't count. Also, do you know the Golden Hook Casino with the best business in the east of Shuimentou?"

   "I know, I...a friend of mine went there some time ago, and said that it's very comprehensive inside!" The man laughed dryly, "It's very comprehensive and everyone speaks nicely!"

   "That's the golden rooster that lays eggs. It is said that the owner behind the scenes is the Jia family."

  Everyone gave a long "oh".

   "Also, the prospective son-in-law of the third master of the Hu family in Tianxiang Island recently made a joke..."

  He Lingchuan ate a few cakes here, and heard a lot of gossip.

  He asked the cook: "Is Lingxu City usually this lively? There are fierce stories every three days."

   "It's hard to say." The cook smiled, "It's been too lively recently, and everything that can be talked about at the dinner table has been messed up."

  He Lingchuan was eating a mouth full of sweetness, when Jiao Yu ran over from nowhere, with something in his mouth, and put it in front of him.

  A stack of invitations. "For you."

   "Mine?" He Lingchuan opened it to take a look while eating.

   Sure enough, it was for him.

   Obviously noticed that "He Xiao" has more dignitaries than a few days ago.

  He Lingchuan asked it while looking at it: "Do you know that Shaofu Cheng has been investigated?"

   "I know." Jiao Yu took it for granted, "Ting Wei was at Cha Jia's house half a month ago, and the emperor ordered it to be done two days ago."

   "These two days?" He Lingchuan was thoughtful.

  In the past three or four days, there have been a lot of big and small things happening in Lingxu City, not big or small?

   Even the heat of the elixir case and the murder and arson of Prince Huan were taken away a lot.

  Who is setting the smoke bomb?

  He put these thoughts aside and looked at the invitation in his hand first.

  Most of these are invitations to him to participate in activities held by various companies. Banquets, gatherings, operas, hunting, etc. are held almost every day on the floating island. This is a tradition that has been cultivated for many years. Even monsters have long been incorporated into it, making it fashionable.

  He Lingchuan flipped through a few cards, then let out a surprise, and picked up an invitation:

   "The Ke family?"

   This bronzing invitation was sent by the Ke family.

  Yes, it is the Ke family who owns a mine in the Lingxu family.

  He Lingchuan originally wanted to use Lao Ge or other intermediaries to get a chance to go to Ke's house, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to invite him.

  He and the person surnamed Ke really have a tacit understanding, and they go in both directions.

   "Why did the Ke family invite me?" There was also a gift list attached to the invitation. The gifts listed on it were all expensive, and the gold beads and agates were too vulgar to be given away. The first item at the beginning was a pot carving.

  He Lingchuan asked someone to bring the pot carving over, and saw that it carved a mountain and stone flower house, and the carving itself was extremely exquisite. Through the window of the greenhouse, you can still see that there seems to be something in it, the flowers are green.

  He Lingchuan tried to reach in, huh?

  He grabbed a fruit vine.

  Real, green vines, about the thickness of two fingers, actually bear a lot of fruit. The red fruits they bear look like strawberries at first glance, but they have a strange aroma.

  Like...cream?

  The tiger came up and sniffed a few times: "It's cooked, you can eat it."

  He Lingchuan immediately threw a red fruit to it.

  Jiao Yu was bored, and smacked his lips: "I don't seem to be able to taste it."

  He Lingchuan tasted one for himself, it was very sweet and the best among berries.

  He stretched out his hand again, and this time he actually grabbed a green jade melon.

  The cook also wanted to join in the fun, so she came over holding a kitchen knife: "I'm coming!"

  A melon is bigger than a football, and it can be opened with a few knives. He Lingchuan grabbed a piece and ate it. It was as sweet as honey, sweet as sugar, and full of juice, but it was a bit freezing in autumn.

   "Hey, you're welcome, everyone come."

   As soon as he greeted, the cook and the worker who had just been idle hurried over, and they all took a piece with a smile.

   "This thing, don't you just take an orchard with you?" He Lingchuan looked at the mountain stone flower house, "Cut, there is no instruction for use."

  The squirrel came out of nowhere, jumped onto the table, and pointed to the two lines of small characters on the side of the rock house.

   Isn't there? Lost eyes.

  Put the seeds and water them, and they will bear fruit in two days.

   "So you can grow it yourself?" You can grow whatever you want to eat, and you can harvest it within two days.

   At the moment when the aura of heaven and earth is weakening, this treasure is indeed miraculous. Tiger asked: "Don't use Xuan Jing to push it?"

   "Oh, maybe." Just because ordinary people can't do this kind of thing with precious mysterious crystals to grow fruits, doesn't mean that the dignitaries of Lingxu City can't do it. In particular, the Ke family owns a mine of mysterious crystals. To them, mysterious crystals are different from copper and iron. Aren't they all dug out of the ground?

  He Lingchuan guessed blindly that the flow of time inside this treasure is faster than outside.

   I just don’t know whether to fertilize or not.

  He picked up the gift list and looked down, the latter two were the same as Shanshifang, it was indeed the kind of treasure that rich people would give, it was fun but not very practical.

  Compared to this mountain and stone flower house, He Lingchuan would rather the Ke family give him Jin Kela. He is not too tacky, and he is short of money now.

  But the fourth item is very expensive. Jiao Yu looked at it and was also surprised:

   "The Ke family actually gave you a boat?"

   "Painted boat!" He Lingchuan corrected it, "It's clearly a painted boat!"

   Thanks for the enthusiastic support of Hua Children's Shoes, who loves to dream!
