C11 (1/2)
After eating breakfast, Chu Feng suggested that they go out to play. The two old men nodded in tacit agreement.
Hearing this, the old prince sent his steward out to accompany him.
Chu Feng brought the girl out of the room and couldn't help but ask, ”What's your name?”
After hearing the question, the girl raised her head and looked at Chu Feng. Her red lips slightly perked up and with a clear voice, she said, ”My name is He Xiang.”
After hearing the girl's concise reply, Chu Feng nodded and did not ask any more questions.
The two of them walked on the street and looked around. The butler in front of them continued to introduce them to the sights of the capital.
Hearing the legendary introduction, the girl became excited as she looked around at the people walking past.
When Chu Feng saw the appearance of that little girl, he also felt joy in his heart. The two of them continued to wander around the house like two housekeepers … It was noon when the butler led them to the inn.
Since he still had a lot of places to play in the afternoon, he wouldn't go back to the mansion for lunch.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of an inn.
After getting off the carriage, Chu Feng raised his head and looked at the restaurant. There were some familiar signboard and similarly, vermilion big words: Tianfeng Inn.
At this moment, Zi Feng couldn't help but think of the last lunch he had with his father.
At this moment, upon seeing those familiar words, Chu Feng's heart grew a bit dejected. In his mind, he couldn't help but think about how he was doing in the distance. It had been a year. His father had already left him for a year … The girl also quickly followed Chu Feng out of the carriage. As she looked at the imposing tavern, she was a bit surprised. She had never seen such a large inn before, and her eyes flickered with excitement.
In a corner on the first floor of the tavern, an old man who wore a very ordinary azure robe was drinking the Jade Orchid Fragrance. His intoxicated appearance uncontrollably caused Chu Feng's gaze to stay on him for a moment.
At this time, the shopkeeper saw the butler from the Wang Mansion and came over to greet him.
”Housekeeper Liu, how are you free today? This old man has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time!” As he said that, the fat middle-aged man's voice came out from the shopkeeper's mouth. ”
Chu Feng also saw that Housekeeper Liu was a regular customer here and his relationship with the manager seemed to be quite good. So, he said, ”Manager, bring us to the Fragrant Wind Pavilion.”
Only then did the shopkeeper notice the two children by Housekeeper Liu's side. He could not help but look at him with a puzzled look.
Housekeeper Liu smiled and said, ”These are the distinguished guests of the Prince's Mansion, I will accompany them out for some fun today.”
When the shopkeeper heard Housekeeper Liu's explanation, he became somewhat respectful. But when he remembered that there was already someone from the Scented Wind Pavilion, he didn't know how to reply.
Housekeeper Liu seemed to notice the shopkeeper's predicament and asked: ”What's wrong, is there a problem with the Fragrant Wind Pavilion?”
Housekeeper Liu couldn't help but feel a bit angry when he heard the shopkeeper's reply. As far as he was concerned, the prince's mansion was actually not even going to have a room for the esteemed guests today, so he felt that it was rather shameful not to be alarmed.
Just as Housekeeper Liu was about to open his mouth, he said: ”Take those to another room.”
However, Chu Feng already took a step forward and said, ”Since there's someone here, let's sit downstairs!”
After saying those words, Chu Feng pointed to a corner on the first floor and walked over there.
That table happened to be facing the green-robed elder. As Chu Feng looked at him, he couldn't help but feel that the azure-cloaked old man was very different from the others. He had an indescribable feeling of transcendence.
That made Chu Feng feel very strange. He already felt that when Chu Feng stepped into the Tianfeng Inn.
So, after hearing about the people from the Fragrant Sky Pavilion, Chu Feng chose to sit in front of the old man.
After a while, a table full of dishes was served.
Chu Feng looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar dishes and his heart couldn't help but shake a bit. The tender flesh on his face couldn't help but be pulled out and his eyes became a bit sharp.
The green-robed old man who was drinking the Jade Orchid Fragrance couldn't help but have a smile on his face and he looked a bit playfully at Chu Feng's stubborn face.
Seeing Chu Feng's dejected expression, the butler and the girl were a bit confused.
In the silence, the two of them looked at Chu Feng at the same time, hoping to know something from him.
Seeing this scene, the girl was slightly surprised.
She had always believed that boys had the highest status and must be loved by all. However, after seeing Chu Feng's sad expression, he couldn't help but feel that everything seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
Why did this boy have such an aged face and sharp eyes? All of these things did not match his age.
What unknown story was there in him?
Could it be that his childhood was not as blissful and blissful as he had imagined?
All sorts of speculations appeared in the girl's mind.
A familiar voice could not help but echo in his ears, ”Daddy, why aren't you eating? If you don't eat now, I'll finish it.”
Even now, he could still feel the warmth of his father's hand on his shoulder.
Zi Feng put down his chopsticks. His complexion was somewhat ancient, and he looked somewhat haggard.
He couldn't help but take out the dragon-shaped jade pendant from his chest. He looked at it, touched it, then placed it back on his chest.
Ever since father took him to the Heavenly Wind Inn, father gave this jade pendant to you, Chu Feng. Furthermore, she instructed him that he must be kept in good condition.
Chu Feng still vaguely remembered his father's expression of importance towards the jade ornament. Although he did not know the use of the jade ornament, Chu Feng was still a close carry-on.
Actually, to Chu Mingfan, the most important part of the jade ornament was the reason why his master left it to him. It was just that Chu Feng did not know about it.
Time quietly passed. Soon, the meal was over.
Chu Feng walked out of the Tianfeng Inn with a bit of reluctance and a bit of yearning.
Before he left, he went to visit the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.
The Fragrant Sky Pavilion was the same as the one he had had a meal with his father. The furnishings inside were exactly the same as what he remembered.
In that room, Chu Feng recalled all the beautiful things he had seen and no longer cared about all the things that troubled him.
But the girl and the butler were confused by Chu Feng's strange actions.
