big master, big liar

Song Xuan knew that he had offended Feng Wenzi this time, and although he was not afraid of him, he also remembered it, and mentioned it to Fang Qiutang, telling him not to be careless and capsize in the gutter.

Fang Qiutang patted his chest and said: "What crazy flies and mosquitoes, if you dare to bump into my young master, let him go and never return."

Song Xuan was well aware of his ability to cause trouble, so he added another sentence: "If he doesn't come to recruit you, then don't bother him, this is not Sifang City after all."

Fang Qiutang reluctantly agreed, and then murmured: "I don't have time to mess with him, I'm very busy now."

In the past few days, he left early and returned late, and he didn't know what he was doing, so he couldn't even care about Song Xuan.

Song Xuan had something on his mind, so he didn't ask him, but this time when it was mentioned, he couldn't help asking: "Where have you been these few days?"

"I found a great deal!"

When Fang Qiutang mentioned business, his eyes tended to shine.

Song Xuan didn't have to take the blame, he couldn't pretend to be anything, so he decided to continue talking.

"Ice-making business!" Sure enough, Fang Qiutang was very excited. "Before, there were not many people using ice in Sifang City, and I didn't notice it. I saw someone digging ice by the Shengjing River the other day, planning to store it for summer."

Song Xuan was rather surprised: "Don't you know that ice is stored in cellars? Then where do you think ice comes from in summer?"

He has seen people store ice for a long time, especially in the cold weather in the north, even ordinary people will dig out some for themselves, and use it for ice porridge and desserts in summer.

Fang Qiutang was stunned, dumb for a moment, and coughed: "Didn't I not notice it earlier? I still know everything?"

Song Xuan was a little strange, it was normal if other people didn't know about these things, after all Sifang City was warm in winter and cool in summer, except for hawkers selling sweet-scented osmanthus porridge and iced bean tea, ordinary people would never have heard of storage ice.

But Fang Qiutang was born in an imperial merchant, so he would definitely use ice, and he is a good researcher, he can even study a firecracker to the bottom, so how could he not know where ice comes from?

But after all, it was just the weirdness in Song Xuan's heart, it's just a casual talk, it's not worth asking.

"It doesn't matter," Fang Qiutang said excitedly, waving his hands. "I can make ice in summer without storing ice."

Song Xuan was taken aback: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense," Fang Qiutang's eyes sparkled. "If I can make gunpowder, I can also make ice."

"I've already thought about the raw materials, but the method needs to be improved," Fang Qiutang said. "According to my current thinking, the cost is still too high, not as good as the profit of the big ice storage. I have to think again. And this ice is not edible, and it is enough to sell it to these high-ranking officials to cool off the heat... "

As soon as he talked about business, he was eloquent, walking back and forth in the room, and Song Xuan let him talk, but suddenly heard him say: "...When the time comes, I will go through the way of the prince, young master, I will and get rich.”

"The way of the prince?" Song Xuan was slightly taken aback.

Fang Qiutang knew she had made a slip of the tongue, so she quickly stopped talking.

It's just that the atmosphere in the room has cooled down after all.

"I..." Fang Qiutang's eyes wandered, he was always open-mouthed in front of Song Xuan, but he didn't know that he had messed up a major event this time.

Song Xuan asked: "Have you hooked up with the crown prince?"

In fact, Song Xuan sent a letter of refusal to Ji Yunyi a few days ago, but he didn't want Fang Qiutang to secretly contact him.

Fang Qiutang hesitated for a long time, but finally bit the bullet and agreed: "Yes."

"...Song Xuan, don't be angry with me, I just want to use him to make some money."

Song Xuan was actually not angry.

He knew what Fang Qiutang was thinking.

Fang Qiutang said that he just wanted to make some money, but with Boss Fang's ability, he really wanted to do business, so why would he need to force himself into the maelstrom of the prince?

He squeezed into such a world forcefully, only because what he wanted was far more than money. Only a noble status like the crown prince could open up a broad road for him.

He never seemed to realize that Fang Qiutang was actually an ambitious person.

He only remembered that the two of them were in Sifang City, looking forward to a happy life full of wine, food and clothing, as if Fang Qiutang had always been the small businessman who could cheer himself up by making some money and making new things.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Fang Qiutang became really anxious: "If you're not happy, forget it, I didn't sell myself to him, I'll go back to Sifang City with you, and we'll continue to be land rich people..."

In his heart, Song Xuan, a friend, was always more important.

Song Xuan shook his head: "I'm not unhappy, I..."

He also couldn't say what to say later, his brother went to his career, why is he unhappy?

Fang Qiutang was an adult now, he knew what he wanted, and knew that the troubled waters would be dangerous, but he went anyway.

This is a side that Song Xuan didn't know before, and it's also a side that Song Xuan can only wait and see.

But this has nothing to do with Fang Qiutang being his brother.

He was just a little dazed.

It seemed that after coming to Shengjing, the people around him gradually showed a different look from before, which made Song Xuan a little at a loss.

Whether it was Fang Qiutang or Ji Yunxi.

Song Xuan finally smiled and said, "If you want to make money, go make some damn money, bring back a mountain of gold and silver, and then make me a statue of red gold inlaid with jade."

Fang Qiutang saw that there was no abnormality in his expression, so he also joked: "Go to your red gold inlaid jade, I am doing you a favor if I can squeeze one out of mud for you."

But he still couldn't help asking: "Song Xuan, do you want... me to cooperate with Ji Yunxi?"

Song Xuan was taken aback for a moment.

Fang Qiutang's expression was also a little nervous. He could see that Song Xuan's mood was wrong these days, and he really wanted to know what happened between Song Xuan and Ji Yunxi.

"To be disrespectful, although Ji Yunyi is not a good guy, he does have connections, Your Highness...what can you achieve by cooperating with him?" Song Xuan said with a smile. "Friendship is friendship, business is business, isn't that what you said?"

Of course Fang Qiutang said this, he just wanted to test Song Xuan's attitude.

After this trial, Song Xuan even changed his title, I'm afraid Ji Yunxi is about to suffer a catastrophe this time.

But what does this have to do with Fang Qiutang, he couldn't be more happy to watch Ji Yunxi's excitement.
