In the wing room next door, the brazier in the room was burning brightly. Yun Xu gently stirred it with iron chopsticks, and the silver carbon made a slight sound.
"What's wrong? When I see you, you act like a fighting cock on the street. But my cousin made you angry again?"
"You have the nerve to say it. You haven't come to see me for most of the month, but you have forgotten me as your cousin?"
Feng Jinyao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I haven't rested since I returned home. You also know that my mother is ill in bed and my sister-in-law is also in many physical discomforts, so the responsibility of the housekeeper is left to me. It's the new year again and Qiantou
Wan Xu’s troubles have finally been sorted out, so why don’t I rush to give New Year’s gifts to my grandmother and aunts?”
After that, he took out a pamphlet from his arms and handed it over mysteriously.
"Haven't you always wanted to practice throwing pot? I've written down some experience, but I don't know if it's useful. Just take a look."
"Really?" Bai Siruo's eyes lit up, and the anger just now disappeared.
He looked through the book carefully as if it were a treasure, and he became more and more happy, "This is pretty much it."
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Tell me, what happened to my aunt?"
With a "Huh" sound, Bai Siruo vented his dissatisfaction and said all the nasty things about Shen's riot in the Duke's Mansion, which made Feng Jinyao's face feel cold.
"Does she think her daughter is some kind of fairy descended to earth? She still looks down upon her cousin from the eldest aunt's family. Damn, does she really think that our Bai family is her stepping stone? She just wants to climb up!"
As expected, Mrs. Shen's thoughts are far from elegant. If she hadn't missed the triennial draft, she might have even thought about being a concubine in the palace.
If that's the case, then she can help and fulfill her "wish".
Soon, a plan came to mind, so I asked.
"Cousin, does she know when Sister Xu will get married?"
"It was said to be May. The weather was cool at that time and it was the transition between spring and summer, so I chose a good day in May."
It's May, so she still has time to deal with it.
"Originally we wanted to schedule it for September, but unfortunately Mr. Xu Ge was weak and worried about his illness relapse, so we moved it earlier."
Bai Siruo's face looked a little sad, not at all the joy of a good sister getting married.
"When I think that she will become sister-in-law with Liang Luo in the future, I feel very depressed. I hope God will bless Liang Luo and let Liang Luo get married soon. Don't stay in the Liang family and bring disaster to Mingyue."
Feng Jinyao made a sound and looked at Bai Siruo amusedly.
"Cousin, are you kidding? Sister Xu can still be harmed by her? Are you sure?"
After hearing what she said, Bai Siruo suddenly figured out the depression in her heart, "Yes, with her brain, even I can't play with it, how could she harm Mingyue! Hahaha, I feel much better."
He happily patted Feng Jinyao on the shoulder and said, "It would be great if you were my biological sister. It would save me the trouble of looking at that girl Bai Sihan every day and getting angry."
"Don't be angry. Didn't the Wei family send me a message? How about you and I help her climb a high branch?"
"You mean..."
"The Wei family's banquet is full of wealthy people. Since she doesn't look down on ordinary people, then find her an unusual family and fulfill her wish, right?"
Bai Siruo's eyes lit up. Although she spoke quickly and had a simple mind, it did not mean that she had no mind at all.
When Feng Jinyao said this, if she hadn't thought of it yet, then she would be really stupid.
"Good sister, you are so angry with me!"
Seeing Bai Siruo's high-spirited appearance, Feng Jinyao felt sad in her heart.
In her previous life, Bai Siruo was about to get engaged to the direct grandson of Prince Kang's family at the end of the New Year. It would be fine if the two of them were deeply in love, but it happened that everyone in the eastern capital city knew about it.
Thinking of her second brother's miserable life after Princess Shang, Feng Jinyao was determined not to let her cousin suffer like this.
If you want to find a chance, you have to get to know this direct grandson!
The two of them hit it off, and time flew by in just a second.
By the time Feng Jinyao left, it was Shenshi.
In Dongdu City, this is the busiest time of the afternoon market.
The Feng family is not far from the Bai family, but the neighbors it passes are the most prosperous places in Dongdu City.
Two rivers run through the city from north to south and run from east to west, dividing the entire Dongdu into four large blocks and several market squares.
Every once in a while, a stone bridge is built, which is engraved with images of auspicious clouds and water animals, symbolizing the Taiping Waterway.
The carriage was walking slowly on the road, surrounded by the cries of vendors, which was very lively.
On the left and right sides are the layout of front shops and backyards. The backyards are mostly residential buildings, and the shops in the front sell everything.
Carbon shop, wine shop, incense shop, bun shop, meat cake shop, tea shop, mutton shop, medicine shop...
The items in the shops are piled up in a dazzling array, which dazzles passers-by.
Xiangqiu, who was sitting on the carriage, also widened her eyes at this moment.
As expected, it was the capital of Da Jin, and it was even more lively. Since she sold herself to the Feng Mansion, she had rarely had the chance to go out.
Occasionally, when I go out, I usually go to Fahua Temple with my wife to offer incense, and rarely walk along this imperial street.
Therefore, there were some shops that she had never even heard of, let alone the items inside. Curious, she looked outside through the half-open curtains.
It's almost dinner time, and the vendors on both sides are starting to prepare the things they will sell in the evening.
The freshly roasted wild fox meat and pork skin are fragrant, the hot eel soup is simmering in the big pot, crystal cake, plum ginger, sugar and snow balls, wild duck meat...
Every street snack seduce the greed in the stomachs of passers-by.
Feng Jinyao is not a person who likes to eat. Through the curtain, the aroma penetrates straight into the car.
He closed his eyes and listened attentively, seeming to feel the eagerness of the hydrangeas, "Want to eat?"
When Xiangqiu was asked this question, she felt a little shy and touched the tip of her nose.
"Miss, can you please go down and buy some snacks to try? I have never seen some of these snacks."
Feng Jinyao smiled faintly, since these girls sold themselves into the house, they didn't have many days out, so it didn't hurt to take advantage of this opportunity to have something to eat.
So he nodded and ordered, "Let the coachman pull over. Go down and have a look. If you like anything, buy more and give some to the girls in the yard."
After that, he motioned to Yunxu and handed over some money. Hydrangea was overjoyed.
After saying goodbye, he quickly got off the carriage and ran towards the lively place.
But when Yun Xu saw her like that, she couldn't help but smile.
"The lady just manipulates them."
Feng Jinyao did not answer the call, all she could think about was how to disrupt Huang Xuliang's engagement.
The sound of popping oil and popcorn on the roadside startled the Feng family's horses.
When I saw it neighing all over, I wanted to raise my hooves and run wildly!
