Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 106 Riding the same horse back to Yangzhou
When the steaming portions of breakfast food were served, Li Lianpeng, who was empty in his belly, first put a lot of food into the bowl in front of Su Xiaoyong as usual, and then began to fly down quickly, gobbling down the food and turning into a glutton.

——In fact, the word "gobble" is quite inappropriate to use on him.

Because although he ate quickly, he did not appear vulgar and barbaric.

If you look closely and look at the way he eats, you will find that his movements are quite elegant.

It was just because it was too fast that most people couldn't see clearly, so they thought he was being rude like this.

Su Xiaoyong didn't move her chopsticks. What happened last night still had an impact on her, so she held her chin with both hands, tilted her head, and watched Li Lianpeng eat.

A pair of beautiful eyes, unblinking, full of smiles.

Why hadn't she noticed in the past that he looked surprisingly good-looking when he was eating seriously...

For a moment, Su Xiaoyong couldn't help but feel crazy.

"Ok?"

Li Lianpeng stopped and looked at the woman strangely, "Xiaoyong, why don't you eat?"

The woman shook her head and chuckled: "I've eaten, you continue."

"Oh." Seeing this, Li Lianpeng continued with her head buried in the air.

……

After satisfying his appetite, Li Lianpeng asked about the condition of the girl he rescued from the fire last night.

According to Su Xiaoyong, the girl did not suffer any obvious internal or external injuries. She woke up last night. After learning that Li Lianpeng had rescued him, the girl endured the pain of losing her father and searched for him.

"There's no need to thank you. If she can survive, our hard work last night will be in vain."

Li Lianpeng smiled and said, not taking all the credit for saving people, but the two of them.

"By the way, has the cause of the fire in the warehouse been found? What was the reason?"

Su Xiaoyong said:

"According to what Fan Kulang said, the local Supervisor Yangcang may have accidentally knocked over the oil lamp when he took people to get food. They didn't notice the fire at first. By the time they noticed it, it was too late and the fire had already spread. Big, they were unable to escape because they were trying to put out the fire, which led to this tragic disaster."

Li Lianpeng remembered what she saw in the courtyard last night, shook her head and said:

"I'm afraid things are not as simple as he said."

"What did you find last night?" Su Xiaoyong frowned and asked in a serious voice.

"I vaguely saw black oil in the yard last night. If I expected it correctly, it should be kerosene."

"Kerosene?" Su Xiaoyong's expression changed.

Kerosene is different from the oil used by ordinary people. It is generally used in the military and is also available among the people, but in small quantities.

The warehouse was used to store disaster relief grains, mainly to provide relief to the hungry. Secondly, it could also be used for borrowing money.

If farmers who cultivate the land are short of seeds, they can borrow money from this charity warehouse and return the new grain to the government after the autumn harvest.

The government is responsible for the unified management of the charity warehouses in various places, and stores state tools to prepare for bad years.

Keyou and Yicang cannot be contacted at all.

If it is true as Li Lianpeng said, then the fire in the warehouse in Nanxun Town was probably not caused intentionally by someone!
A fire killed twelve lives!
What kind of murderer is he? How dare he act like this? He is really unconscionable!

The more Su Xiaoyong thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but slap the wooden table hard, startling Fang Duobing who was about to come over.

"Miss Su, why are you so angry? But he provoked you?"

He pointed at Li Lianpeng and asked.

Li Lianpeng grinned and looked at Fang Duobing.
"Fang Xiaobao, if you are really bored and have nothing to do, go home. I heard that Hall Master He misses you."

Fang Duobing sat down at the table and said, "Brother Li, what are you talking about? I finally came out for a long time, and my reputation as a worried son has not spread throughout the world. How can I just go home in such a dejected manner?" "

"Young man, these rivers and lakes are very deep. It's not something a young man like you can understand. Heed my brother's advice and go home."

"My mother said, you have to become famous as early as possible!" "Is this really what your mother said?"

"That's right!"

Li Lianpeng smiled and said: "This sentence is good, but do you know that there is another sentence corresponding to it?"

Fang Duobing humbly asked for advice, "What are you talking about?"

"When it's time to recharge your batteries, don't be too busy trying to get ahead. When it's time to work hard, don't try to be a blockbuster. When it's time to sharpen your mind, don't expect the wind to be right."

Li Lianpeng stood up, patted the young man on the shoulder, and sighed:
"I can't eat hot buns in a hurry, young man."

Seeing the other party lowering his head to reflect on what he said, Li Lianpeng shook his head, stretched out his hand to Su Xiaoyong, and motioned to the door with his eyes.

Su Xiaoyong understood, glared at him angrily, and immediately held his hand.

The two left the inn silently.

When Fang Duoying came back to his senses, there was no one in front of him.

"...I know this!"

Seeing the smiling waiter asking for food money, Fang Duobing said angrily and immediately paid the bill helplessly.

After all, I don’t have much money, and I don’t know why Li Lianpeng is so stingy. We are all friends, but he even takes advantage of it!
-

In the end, Li Lianpeng and Su Xiaoyong still didn't buy the carriage. They were unlucky. All the carriages in the town were hired away a few days ago.

There are carpenters in the town who can make it immediately, and can also make it into the style they want according to their needs, and the workmanship is no worse than the craftsmen in the city.

But the craftsman said that one day was not enough and they had to wait at least seven days.

Li Lianpeng couldn't wait for seven days or even one day.

The incident in Jinling was over, and he was now anxious to take Mei back to Yangzhou and tell Li Lianhua that he had a sister-in-law.

Then reintroduce Su Xiaoyong to the people in his house. From now on, Li House has a mistress.

then.

Li Lianpeng, who was wealthy, waved his hand and paid the deposit: 200 taels.

Su Xiaoyong, who is well-informed, has determined the style of the carriage: the most popular one nowadays is the Treasure-Swallowing Golden Chariot.

When the carriage is ready, send it to Yangzhou and pay the balance.

The carpenter named Xue readily agreed and said that he would have his apprentice deliver the built carriage.

Craftsmen are generally very honest.

Especially craftsmen who are very confident in their craftsmanship and proud of their hearts.

Then, Li Lianpeng and Su Xiaoyong rode together and rushed to Yangzhou.

That evening, we returned to Yangzhou City before the city gate closed.

A few days have passed, and the falling snow in Yangzhou has long since melted.

However, the temperature settled down because of the first snowfall.

It is only more than 300 miles away from Jinling. According to Li Lianpeng's rough calculation, the temperature between the two places is probably four to five degrees different, around six or seven degrees.

"Hiss~ It's so cold."

Walking on the street of Guangling District in Yangzhou City while leading his horse, Su Xiaoyong shrank his neck from the cold.

Li Lianpeng stepped forward and held her hand, smiling:
"It won't be cold when you come back to our house."

Su Xiaoyong nodded and leaned towards him.
