"...Brother Fang." Huang Ning softly called out behind Fang Chi.

Fang Chi didn't turn his head away, and said while picking up the flour: "My hands are white, and I can't pour you a glass of water. You sit down first. If you're thirsty, remember to pour a glass of water next to you."

"It's okay, I'm not thirsty." Hearing the alienation in his words, Huang Ning sat on the chair sadly, clutching the corners of his clothes, trying to muster up the courage to say something, but swallowed the words again.

Fang Chi sighed, and suddenly said: "Miss Huang, although I'm a little sorry, I still have to tell you in advance that our shop may only be open until this winter."

"What?" Huang Ning's eyes turned red immediately, he stood up hastily, and said, "You want to leave... because of me?"

She was emotional, tears were shining in the blink of an eye, and said: "I know Brother Fang doesn't like me, but there's no need to run away to avoid me!..."

"No, no," Fang Chi turned around, looked at her with sincere eyes, and said, "It's not because of you."

"why?"

Fang Chi said: "Because Brother Meng and I may not be able to open this store together, and we will go our separate ways in the future."

As soon as he said this, Meng Shen turned his head with widened eyes.

Fang Chi looked at him and said, "Am I wrong?"

Meng Shen remained silent, Fang Chi said: "It's impossible for me not to see it when I look down. Just tell me what you think, and I'll definitely listen."

Meng Shen looked apologetic.

Fang Chi said: "Don't make such a face, it's nothing, I'm just helping you, and there's nothing binding about it, then I really want you to leave yours, I'll leave mine, brothers are still separated, we also It's time to say goodbye."

Meng Shen's voice was muffled: "I want to leave, but when you say it, I feel uncomfortable."

Fang Chi laughed loudly: "It's nothing. Go for a drink at night, drink a few bowls of wine, and all these worries will be gone. If you go out and venture, how can you not be bold?"

"Okay!" Meng Shen said with emotion, he stepped forward and put his arm around Fang Chi's shoulder.

The two of them put Huang Ning aside for a while, and when they turned to look at her, she was crying so hard that she said, "Brother Fang, I can't bear you!..."

She suddenly turned her back and ran away crying.

"There are sesame seed cakes..." Meng Shen exclaimed, walked to the pot, picked up the sesame seed cakes, and said, "What should I do, send them to someone?"

"...Forget it," Fang Chi said: "Anyway, she is so sad, who likes not to be hurt, let her be quiet at this time."

"Besides, I really want to leave." Fang Chi's voice was a little soft.

"Well, that's fine. Anyway, she hasn't paid the money yet, so it's not unconscionable if we don't send it over." Meng Shen said, taking a bite of the hot biscuits.

"..." Fang Chi was completely speechless.

After discussing how to go their separate ways, they took out all the money they had earned in the past six months and divided it in half according to each person.

After the money was distributed, Meng Shen felt that he didn't have a solid foundation in his mind, and asked, "What do you think is the most reliable thing to do first after I leave Yicheng?"

"I don't know. When I was the right minister, I didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Selling cakes for half a year really exhausted me. I think that identity and blood are really important. We don't have these. It may be difficult to get ahead. "

"Haha," Meng Shen said with a dry smile, "Yeah, what's wrong with transmigrating to wear it, she's actually a princess, if it's the Prince of Qin, I'm afraid I won't have to worry about that."

"The prince has worked very hard for the top position, and life is not easy."

Meng Shen sighed.

"If you want to fight, go for it," Fang Chi looked at him and said, "I only have one thing to tell you, Chu and Qin are biting us very hard, you'd better not show off under the eyes of big shots, Otherwise, it won’t be funny when you are recognized, and escaping privately is a death penalty.”

"I know." Speaking of this, Meng Shen's face also became serious: "So I plan to go to You Country to develop."

"You country?" Fang Chi pondered: "I don't know the situation, but I wish you good luck."

"What about you?" Meng Shen asked.

"I'm still staying in Qin, and I plan to go to Licheng next time. Maybe I'll be a fortune teller, to deceive people, or to be a letter writer. I can read and write a little bit of calligraphy."

"Really," Meng Shen said, "I wish you good luck too."

The two shook hands, closed the shop together, and went back to the house.

……

From winter to spring, Fang Chi and Meng Shen parted ways in Yicheng. Meng Shen went north to Youguo, while Fang Chi went west to Licheng.

Licheng and Yicheng are both next to the capital of Qin State. The reason for choosing these two places is that the emperor's feet are a bit dangerous, but if they are too far away, there is no way to grasp the latest news from Chu State.

Fang Chi soon settled down in Licheng. Although his life was somewhat poor, he was better than worry-free.The years passed by like this.

Huang Ning's mother, the Yang family, was born in an ordinary family, but who would have thought that Yang's younger sister married the son of the prefect of Yicheng in this year, and even the Huang family's wealth increased, and the prefect was transferred to the capital in the second year. Officer, the Huang family also moved there.

Qin Yue, the little princess of the Qin Kingdom, was only ten years old and lacked a female official. When Huang Ning was selected as a maid in the palace, she caught Qin Yue's eye and was called to make up for the lack of female official.

Who would have thought that a year ago, the Huang family was making a living by making mirrors, and in a blink of an eye, their daughter became a celebrity in front of the princess?

Wealth and wealth are pouring in, and the Huang family can be regarded as a firm foothold in the capital.

Huang Ning was reading under the pear tree, and Qin Yue was dozing off next to her, but now she went to play somewhere. Huang Ning read the book seriously, but he didn't notice when she ran away.

Too bad, she thought, she can't let the princess run outside alone, if she encounters something, she will be severely reprimanded.

Huang Ning stood up from under the tree with a pale face, and ran in the garden, looking for Qin Yue, all the way out of the garden, but still did not see Qin Yue, and she was even more worried.

Huang Ning stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. After looking for a long time, she didn't see the girl in the goose-yellow palace dress. She was so anxious that she scolded herself for being stupid, and her face turned red. She saw a man in purple walking towards her. , hurriedly ran up, and asked: "Excuse me, did you see a little girl in a goose yellow skirt when the young master came over?"

"...Who are you looking for?" The man's voice was cold and low, Huang Ning's chest jumped, she looked up at him, and she blushed when she saw it, she lowered her head and said: "It's the little princess, I'm her lady-in-waiting , if I didn’t pay attention just now, the princess disappeared, what should I do.”

"Since she is a princess, nothing major will happen." The man said casually, "I didn't see it."

After finishing speaking, I wanted to pass by.

There are large patches of redbud flowers blooming on his purple clothes, which are very dazzling in the bright sun. Without thinking, Huang Ning blurted out, "Bauhinia?!"

"Why," the man turned around, "you also recognize this flower?"

Huang Ning realized that he had made a mistake, covered his mouth, and kept silent.

"I'm asking you." The man smiled, seemingly not angry: "This is a flower from the southern country. Why, do you recognize it?"

"...I didn't recognize it." After repeatedly confirming that he was not angry, Huang Ning replied in a low voice: "I also heard it from someone."

"Who?" The man asked with a surprised expression.

Thinking of Fang Chi, Huang Ning's face darkened, and she said wearily: "It's my neighbor, but he moved away a long time ago, he is from Chu State, although he doesn't talk much about his homeland with me, but Once, he told me that he liked bauhinia, and he told me the appearance, and showed me the drawing on paper, so I recognized it at a glance."

"Is the honored guest from Chu?" Huang Ning asked politely.

"Yes..." The man's expression seemed a little dazed, and he said, "That man... where did you live?"

"Our family is from Yicheng, and we have been in the capital for less than two years. Why are you asking this..." Huang Ning's voice became lower and lower, a little puzzled.

"It's nothing." The man suddenly smiled: "Let me ask you, is that person very good-looking?"

Huang Ning's face turned red all of a sudden, she looked up at the man in surprise, not understanding what he meant, but said honestly: "He is the most beautiful person I have ever seen, and he has a friend who is also very handsome. good."

Young master, you are beautiful too, Huang Ning wanted to continue, but felt a little shameless, so he stopped.She looked up and saw the man's expression was very stiff.

Chu Qing came to Qin to talk about state affairs, but he did not expect to meet a woman who was very likely to recognize Qu Liangyun. After some inquiries, he found Yicheng, the place where a biscuit shop once opened.

"Selling sesame seed cakes, is it real or not? You've been reduced to this point and you don't want to go back to see me?" Chu Qing said half angry and half worried.

At first, it was impossible to be sure that the woman was referring to Qu Liangyun, but walking around in the biscuit shop, looking at the chopping boards and pots and stoves with traces of use, Chu Qing had a keen intuition that this was Qu Liangyun.

When he first left, he found someone to find madness every day. As time passed, the progress slowed down. It was not that he lost confidence, but the longer he walked, the more anger accumulated.

Chu Qing was even a little scared, when the day he was found, would he cherish him, or would he destroy him?

By the way, I heard from that woman that he changed his name to Fang Chi, and the fake princess changed his name to Meng Shen. They separated more than a year ago. Does this mean that the relationship broke down?

Chu Qing sighed, thinking, finally did something that can alleviate his anger, shouldn't he be praised?

It was in Yicheng more than a year ago, so where will it be now?I asked the woman if she knew it, but she couldn't tell, saying that it was too vague at that time.

"Your Highness, it's time to go back to the post house." The subordinate urged.

If he came over early in the morning, if he didn't return to the capital before closing the city gate at night, the people of Qin State might say that he had ulterior motives.

"En." Chu Qing responded, took one last look at the sesame seed shop, and left.
