On April [-]th, a group of people packed up and prepared to set off for Shangming Town.

Counting Fu Ji, a total of six people went to Shangming Town. They used the largest carriage in the mansion, and the six people just sat down.

This time when he went to Shangming Town, Fu Tian didn't bring Dai Fu there. Dai Fu packed his luggage for him, and sent him to the gate with the bag in his arms.

The carriage had already stopped at the door, and Chu Xiangtian half leaned against the wall of the carriage. Seeing them coming, he first took the luggage and put it away.

Fu Huang patted Dai Fu on the shoulder and told him to go back first, then turned around and stepped on the horse stool to get into the car.

Xiao Qiao was already sitting in the car. For convenience, she changed into light men's clothing. Seeing Fu Tian coming up, she greeted him with a smile.

"Let's go."

When everyone arrived, Chu Xiangtian and Zhou Chuanqing got into the car and got Fu Ji and Chang Xi ready to set off—they sat in front of the car and drove.

"Wait a minute!" Fu Shuyue and the maid hurried over with food boxes.

Knowing that they were going to leave early in the morning, Fu Shuyue got up before dawn and started making snacks. It took about two hours from Sifang Town to Shangming Town, and making some snacks was just right for them to rest their stomachs on the way.

Fu Shuyue trotted over, panting slightly, took the food box from the maid, and handed it to Fu Tian who got out of the carriage, "I just made it, you take it with you and eat it on the road later."

Fu Tian took the food box and could still feel the slight heat outside the food box. He waved to Fu Shuyue and asked her to go back first, "Don't worry, we will be back soon."

"Well, be careful all the way." Fu Shuyue brushed the hair on her cheeks, stepped back a little, and made way for the carriage.

Fu Ji raised his whip and hit the ground with an empty sound, and the horse neighed "咴咴", then raised its hoof and walked slowly away.

Fu Huang waved to Fu Shuyue through the car window, and didn't sit back until the carriage turned the corner and no one could be seen.

The food box was placed on the small table in the middle, Zhou Chuanqing stared at the food box, and tapped the folding fan lightly in the palm of his hand, "Sister Ling is really virtuous."

Fu Tian pursed his lips and smiled, and opened the food box.There are four layers in the food box, and the pastries on each layer are different, all of which are freshly made and still steaming slightly.

At the bottom of the food box, there was a pot of honey flower brewing, and the bowls, plates and cups were taken out from the hidden compartment a few times, and the few people ate and chatted on the carriage.

Zhou Chuanqing took a small sip of a cup of honey flower stuffed rice, squinted his eyes in enjoyment, tapped his fingers on his legs a few times, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "After the divorce, will Sister Ling marry someone else?"

In fact, it was inappropriate for him to ask this question, but everyone was familiar with each other. Fu Tian thought he was just caring casually, so he didn't mind too much, "Not yet, my sister said there is no rush."

The age of 16 is already the marriageable age, and most girls are already married at this age. If Fu Tian hadn't tried his best to mess up the marriage, Fu Shuyue would have married to Jiao's family long ago.

Later, Jiao Changxian's dirty story broke out. Although Fu Shuyue resolutely divorced, it would be false to say that there was no influence at all. There were many gossips in the town, but in the end this matter was caused by Jiao Changxian's misbehavior, and the Fu family voluntarily divorced It also occupies the righteousness, and can't find fault.What's more, Fu's family has a great career, and there are quite a few people who came to propose marriage one after another after retiring the engagement. It's just that after Fu Shu's menstruation incident, he was quite discouraged and was unwilling to propose marriage again for the time being.

"Miss Fu is both talented and beautiful. You really need to pick and choose." Zhou Chuanqing nodded in agreement, smiling gently.

Fu Tian's expression was a little weird, he always felt that it was weird to discuss these things with Zhou Chuanqing, he smiled politely, did not answer the conversation, and changed the topic to continue the chat.

Chu Xiangtian glanced calmly at Zhou Chuanqing, who was smiling like a fox. In the past, he would laugh like this every time they conspired to trick the enemy soldiers. This guy didn't know what was going on in his stomach.

……

The carriage bumped on the road for nearly two hours, and finally arrived at Shangming Town at a quarter of noon.

Shangming Town is more prosperous than Sifang Town. The entrance of the town faces south, and on the right side of the entrance stands a huge cylindrical stone with three large characters engraved with a sharp brush——Shangming Town.

The carriage slowly drove into Shangming Town, Fu Tian raised the curtain of the carriage and looked out curiously.

The streets here are more spacious than Sifang Town, and the main road is paved with bluestone slabs, even three large carriages like the Fu family can pass side by side.There are lively vendors and jugglers on both sides of the street. Pedestrians occasionally stop and stay, creating a bustling scene.

"My lord, do you want me to report to the shop first?" Fu Ji asked.

They decided in a hurry, and they didn't have time to inform the shop in advance to let the manager arrange someone to greet them before they came.

"No, go directly to the inn."

Fu Tian shook his head and refused. He hadn't been notified in advance on purpose.He came to Shangming Town quietly, in order to catch the other party by surprise. If he had notified in advance and given them time to prepare, he would come to inspect again, and it would be strange if he could find out that something was wrong.

Fu Ji drove the carriage to the best inn in the town and stopped. The inn waiter was quite discerning and came forward to welcome them in, and arranged for the groom to take the carriage to the backyard and settle it down.

Xiao Er came over with tea, Fu Tian and the others sat down to drink tea, Wen Ji went to negotiate with the shopkeeper to book a room, after a while Fu Ji came over with a somewhat embarrassed look, and whispered: "There are only four rooms left in the upper room, and the rest Everything is paved."

"Why is it so lively?" Fu Tian frowned puzzled.

The waiter at the side explained: "You guys don't know about this. In a few days, there will be a flower competition in the town. I heard that there will be a display of Kao flowers this time. There are many people who come to see the flowers. , so all the inns in the town are full, and our inn is only as big as ours, and there are still a few vacant ones."

After pondering for a while, Fu Tian looked at the other people, "In this case, let's squeeze together?"

The others naturally had no objections, and asked Fu Ji to book the last four upper rooms, and several of them went upstairs with their luggage to resettle them.

Xiao Qiao was the only woman among them, and she definitely wanted a room alone. Fu Ji originally suggested that he should sleep in the bunk, and that two people could squeeze in the remaining room.Unexpectedly, Chu Xiangtian suddenly said, "Why don't I share a room with Fu Tian?"

Fu Tian looked at him in surprise, his eyes were still somewhat confused.

Chu Xiangtian said straightforwardly: "The few of them don't sleep well when they look at it. I feel shallow, and it's easy to sleep badly."

Chang Xi's mind was stuck, and he laughed and echoed when he heard the words, "I don't sleep well."

Zhou Chuanqing sneered, but without making a sound, he squinted at him with mocking eyes.

Chu Xiangtian didn't change his expression, he ignored Zhou Chuanqing's taunt, and only looked at Fu Tian intently, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

"..." Fu Huang's face was tangled for a while, seeing Chu Xiangtian looking at him fixedly, thinking that it would only be one or two nights anyway, he nodded hesitantly in agreement.

After getting the answer he wanted, Chu Xiangtian pursed his lips in satisfaction, picked up the two people's packages, and walked in with a half arm on Fu Tian's shoulders, "Then let's go back to the room to pack our luggage."

Fu Ji, who was left behind, always felt that something was wrong, and opened his mouth to stop them, but they had already returned to the room. He struggled in place for a while, but he still didn't say anything.

In the end, Chang Xi slept in a room alone, and Zhou Chuanqing and Fu Ji squeezed together. After they packed their luggage, they went downstairs to have lunch.

There is a restaurant next to the inn. After a few people had lunch, Fu Tian suggested to go to the shop first.

"Uncle Ji, you don't need to go, the people in the shop know you." Fu Tian said.

Fu Ji was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, "My lord, you want to..."

"Well," Fu Tian showed a faint smile, and walked out with his hands behind his back, "Let's make an unannounced visit first."

Chu Xiangtian walked beside him, lowered his head and smiled and said, "Do you still know how to use tactics?"

Fu Tian raised his chin proudly, "Soldiers never tire of cheating, this is what Brother Zhou taught me."

Taking advantage of the shop's unpreparedness, they went to investigate the situation first, so that they could understand the real situation of the shop to the greatest extent. If they were lucky, they might be able to catch the other party's handle.

A group of people strolled to the door of Fu's rice grain shop, and Fu Huang walked in first.

Both sides of the shop are filled with rice and millet, which are all open for customers to choose. The waiter leans against the counter and dozes off, his sleeping head bit by bit.

Fu Tian coughed lightly, and when he heard the sound, the waiter in the shop woke up cleverly, saw Fu Tian's eyes lit up, and greeted him with a smile on his face.Fu Tian dressed well, and deliberately acted like a rich man. He didn't even glance at the others, and followed Fu Tian with a slight bow.

"Sir, do you want to buy rice?"

Fu Tian glanced at him lightly, and responded coldly, "I need a batch of high-quality rice to make wine at home, and I will check it myself."

When the waiter in the shop heard this, he immediately smiled, pointed to the best ones and said, "Young Master, look at these ones, they are all the best ones in the shop."

Fu Tian went over to look at it pretendingly, and then asked, "What's the price?"
