FID – Chapter 284

He came dressed neat and tidy. He primped himself into a pretty boy in a jade robe, and she brought him here to play with dyeing cloth!

That was a lot of spices to get all over!

Ouch!

He didn’t like to play this!

All expectations in Feng Mohan’s heart were instantly disillusioned, and he wilted.

Liu Yusheng turned a blind eye to it, holding back a smile and urging the two to go in.

“Imperial Uncle, do you really want to go in?” Feng Mogan was struggling for his life and looked at Feng Qingbai pleadingly.

His Imperial Uncle usually loved cleanliness more than he did. He surely wouldn’t play this kind of thing, right?

The man gave him a faint look. “Get off.”

Hope was completely shattered. Feng Mohan jumped out of the carriage, dragged his feet and followed behind them, and entered the workshop.

The workshop was divided into front and back yards.

One side of the front yard was a large stove, with a large pot on the front and back, used to boil cloth and warm water.

The other side was filled with large vats. Each vat was filled with different colors of liquid dye, used to dye the cloth.

The workers in the workshop were in their respective positions and were not surprised that someone came. There were customers in the workshop every day who came to observe, and if they were satisfied with the fabric they dyed, they would settle the sale.

Feng Mohan first observed how others dyed the cloth after entering, so as not to mess up with the dye when he started to do it in a while.

Before he had time to look closely, the young girl dragged him into the backyard.

The backyard was even larger than the front yard. The whole yard was filled with high shelves with dyed fabrics hanging on the shelves to dry.

When the wind blew, the yard was full of cloth fluttering – it was captivating.

Although there was some residual dye smell, because the site was open and extremely well ventilated, it wasn’t totally stinky.

“Sir, we have prepared the things you want and will bring them over to you.”

Only then did Feng Mohan realize that his Imperial Uncle was talking to someone. He should be the proprietor of this workshop, but he didn’t know when he had followed them.

However, his curiosity got the best of him. What did his Imperial Uncle want people to prepare for, and for what purpose?

Weren’t they here to play with dying fabrics?

Aunt Liu said she was taking him out to play. He could not possibly have mistaken the meaning of the word play!

He has the IQ of an Emperor!

Soon, someone solved his confusion.

A few workshop workers actually carried two wooden frames!

And in the middle of the two wooden frames, a long piece of cloth was rolled up!

“Just put the racks on the wall.” There, Liu Yusheng asked the workers to put the wooden frame against the wall, and the top of the cloth was flush with the wall. After the people left, she beckoned Feng Mohan. “Xiao Feng, come here. Now, I’ll teach you how to play!”

“…” Two wooden frames and one cloth. What sort of game were they going to play? Feng Mohan’s mouth twitched.

Feng Qingbai stood in front of the wooden frame and looked at the girl quietly. He was also curious. She asked him to prepare something like this in advance. What kind of trick was she going to play?

“Feng Qingbai, hold me up to the wall!”

Feng Qingbai hugged her gently up. After stepping on the wall, he saw the girl actually lift her foot onto the cloth, and then slid down from the cloth shelf!

Feng Mohan’s eyes almost popped out!

“Go up and try. It feels good. The shelf is very stable, and the cloth is also solid enough.” The young girl waved at him. This was her idea of a simple slide. The kid must not have played it, so give him a fresh picture.

Feng Mohan immediately flew up, following the example of the young girl just now, and slid down with a whoosh.

His ass was a little hot through the fabric because of the friction.

But! It felt like flying! Or flying without effort!

When he slid down, the wind blew against his face, and his hair flew up. It was light and airy!

This feeling was so amazing!

Fresh and exciting!

The little boy was hooked and kept climbing up the wall and sliding the fabric ladder!

After a while, laughter resonated in the courtyard.

Only then did Feng Qingbai understand that there was such a way to play. He was quite amused, looking at the young girl standing below. He really didn’t know her little head came up with this method.

Then, reminded of the dream that she had narrated, his eyes darkened.

“Feng Qingbai, the Fu family deals in fabrics, right?” The young girl asked suddenly as she sat next to the wooden shelf.

Feng Qingbai lifted the hem of his robe and sat down at the wall, gazing at the young girl from above. “Hmm.”

“I heard that the most famous one who used to run a fabric dyeing workshop in the capital was the Yu family.” This was what she had gathered from the servants in the house in the past two days.

She originally wanted to inquire about the feud between Fu Yuzheng and the Fu family, but she didn’t expect such a secret pile to be involved.

“Yes, the Yu family was once the capital’s prestigious family. They started their business with exquisite dyeing skills and once provided the palace with specially dyed fabrics. The Yu family’s eldest son was recommended to join the civil service, and also became a third-rank official in the court. But then, the Yu family suffered from an incident, and the family was sentenced to exile. They died in successive accidents on the way to exile.”

“I know this thing,” Feng Mohan interjected while sliding, “The Fu family’s former main wife was Yu’s daughter. After the Yu family’s accident, the Fu family was afraid of being implicated and drove out Mrs. Yu and her daughter, who was less than two years old at that time. It was said that Mrs. Yu was still pregnant back then. However, because of this incident, people criticized the Fu family in the capital. Their end was not so good, and their business instantly fell to the bottom.”

“So the Fu family is now relying on the Liu family to get up again?”

Feng Qingbai shook his head. “The Fu family first tried to find the Liu family, but they were simply beyond the Lius attention. Taking a pawn without value for use is a waste of effort.”

He paused for a moment, appreciated the young girl’s eyes looking at him, and then said, “It was Fu Yuzheng, who handed over the secret recipe for the Yu family’s cloth-dyeing skills. With that secret recipe, the Fu family later entered the eyes of the Liu family, became their vassal, and followed behind to pick up their leftovers.”

Feng Qingbai looked down on the Fus behavior very much, and his tone was quite ironic.

After listening to these, Liu Yusheng’s heart was clear. “You told me at the beginning that Fu Yuzheng helped you on the condition that you take the Fu family to a high place and then let them fall down. This revenge method is very purposeful. Could it be that the Yu family’s initial accident was related to the Fu family?”

Feng Qingbai jumped off the wall and pinched her nose and sighed helplessly. “Why are you always so concerned about other people’s affairs?”

She pulled his hand down and fiercely bit on his finger.

The man smiled but didn’t dodge.

The force that finally fell on his finger was more like a light nibble, a slight itch that flowed all the way to the bottom of his heart.

“Imperial Uncle, Aunt Liu, at least pay attention to me ah!” Feng Mohan hooked his two legs to the wooden frame and lay on the cloth to look at the sky. “Can you think about my feelings when you leave me alone to play next to you, while you guys are having a good time there?”

Was this really taking him out to play and relax? He was now very doubtful!

Liu Yusheng quickly shook off the man’s hand and commanded him with a straight face. “Go and bring the wooden ladder over there!”

The man raised his eyebrows but refused to obey. He wrapped his arm around the young girl’s willow waist and took her up the wall. “There’s no need for a ladder, it’s faster for me to carry you.”

With him there, did she still want to use the ladder to climb?
