The Feng family entertained Gu Qiancheng today, not just for a meal, but also because the Feng family wanted to express their solemn thanks to Gu Qiancheng for saving Feng Sijin.
Therefore, in addition to Mrs. Feng, Master Feng also rushed back from the Yamen to show that the Feng family valued Gu Qiancheng.
Speaking of which, Gu Qiancheng has saved Feng Sijin twice, and it is inappropriate not to reciprocate such a great favor. The Feng family has always had this idea, but they were not sure before. Now Master Feng and Mrs. Feng have decided
,But……
It seems too late!
Mrs. Feng is definitely a top noble lady. Even if she doesn't like it, she still knows the fashion in Beijing very well. As soon as Gu Qiancheng came in, she saw something special about Gu Qiancheng's clothes.
New colorful brocade silk!
This year's colorful brocades are not available anywhere except Prince Qin's Mansion. You don't need to ask where Gu Qiancheng's outfit comes from.
It seems that their Feng family has no hope.
Mrs. Feng laughed at herself: I thought back when Qiancheng saved Sijin, the Feng family was picky and a marriage contract was like a charity; what about now?
Even if they go to court and ask for marriage, they won't accept it.
Everything is fate, and these two children, Sijin and Qiancheng, are not destined to be together!
When Mrs. Feng saw Gu Qiancheng crossing the threshold, she stood up to greet him. The moment she stood up, she gave Mr. Feng a suggestive look: Don't mention the marriage!
Although Mr. Feng didn't understand why his wife thought so, they had been married for many years and had a tacit understanding. Mr. Feng didn't ask the reason, but just nodded lightly to show that he understood.
As soon as Gu Qiancheng came in, he saw Master Feng sitting in the first place. He was immediately startled. When he saw Mrs. Feng stood up to greet her, Gu Qiancheng hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Madam, you are so polite."
Now she is not qualified to ask Mrs. Feng to stand up and greet her.
Mrs. Feng pulled Gu Qiancheng along and said with a smile: "You are too polite. You didn't come to see me when you returned to the capital. If I hadn't posted a message for you, you definitely wouldn't have come."
Although she couldn't become a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Feng still liked Qiancheng very much, and her words were as close as ever, "That kid Yanchen, he talks about you every day, saying that the little ferret wants to lose weight because he misses you."
Mrs. Feng is a wise and elegant woman. A few words can make people relax involuntarily. Gu Qiancheng likes talking to her very much and always feels that he can learn a lot from her.
With Master Feng here, Mrs. Feng didn't say much, but pulled Gu Qiancheng forward and asked her to pay tribute to Master Feng.
Gu Qiancheng bowed and saluted Mr. Feng. Perhaps it was because he had just returned from the northwest. Gu Qiancheng still had the coldness and sharpness of a soldier. Mrs. Feng did not notice it, but who was Mr. Feng?
In the officialdom, Mr. Feng has seen through so many people with his sharp eyes. With just one glance, he can tell that the current Gu Qiancheng is no longer the girl who needed to arm herself with indifference and toughness.
Now, as long as Gu Qiancheng stands there, others will not dare to mess with her easily.
He has grown so much in just one year. His father's vision is indeed good. Mr. Feng nodded approvingly: "You are very good. Thank you for everything. Your kindness to the Feng family will be kept in our hearts.
.”
Master Feng's words represented the Feng family's promise, which many people wished for. However, Gu Qiancheng did not accept it and said, "Master Feng, you are serious. I went to the northwest to save my younger brother. I only saved Young Master Feng by the way. To be honest, I
It's not a life-saving grace." Gu Qiancheng has never thought about using the Northwest incident to ask for favors from the Feng family, the Yan family, or other families.
"Even if it is by the way, it is true that you saved Sijin. Our Feng family will remember this kindness." Lord Feng did not give Gu Qiancheng a chance to refuse again. After speaking forcefully, he asked about the situation in the northwest.
The son traveled thousands of miles and his mother was worried. Although Feng Sijin wrote a letter to report that he was safe, the content that could be written was limited. If there was really a danger, Feng Sijin would not write it in the letter. Therefore, Master Feng and Mrs. Feng wanted to ask
Ask Gu Qiancheng, how is Feng Sijin doing in the northwest?
Gu Qiancheng knew what Master Feng and Mrs. Feng wanted to know. All the things mentioned were related to Feng Sijin. He tried his best to let Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng know more about Feng Sijin.
Gu Qiancheng also mentioned a few dangers encountered along the way. Anyway, everything has passed, and the journey was considered safe. Master Feng and Mrs. Feng will not be too worried if they hear it now.
How can you not run into trouble when you go out? If you really want to report good news instead of bad news, your parents at home will be even more worried.
Gu Qiancheng Pingfu's straightforward description of the situation at that time was not very exciting or soul-stirring, but Master Feng and Mrs. Feng listened with gusto. Mrs. Feng was so sad that she wiped away tears when she heard that Feng Sijin was injured and in danger.
…
The housekeeper came in several times to remind the two masters that lunch was ready and it was time to start eating. But every time he came in, Master Feng stared out before he could open his mouth.
The butler was so rogue that he could only wait at the door, planning to wait for the people inside to finish talking before going in to treat the three of them to dinner, but...
Half an hour passed, and people in the room were still chatting. However, now it was Master Feng and Mrs. Feng who asked questions, and Gu Qiancheng answered questions related to Feng Sijin.
Lord Feng didn't ask too many questions in order to maintain his image, so Mrs. Feng didn't care about them, except for some trivial matters, and Gu Qiancheng answered them one by one with great patience.
With the news of their son, Master Feng and Mrs. Feng were completely unaware of hunger, but Gu Qiancheng was hungry!
Looking at the empty teacup on the table, Gu Qiancheng wanted to cry...
Why doesn't the Feng family put a plate of snacks when entertaining guests?
She is thirsty and hungry now!
Ahem...if the housekeeper knew what Gu Qiancheng was thinking, he would definitely scream that he was wronged.
How did the housekeeper know that Gu Qiancheng had been chatting with Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng for half an hour and completely forgot about eating.
Finally, Mrs. Feng asked all the questions she needed to ask. Seeing the opportunity, the housekeeper was about to go in and remind Mr. Feng to start dinner, when he saw the steward next to the old man walking towards him.
"Is Miss Gu here?" The steward stepped forward and asked the housekeeper. He learned that Gu Qiancheng was inside talking to Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng. The steward said, "Can you please go in and let me know that the old man wants to see Miss Gu."
The old man had already eaten and took a nap for a quarter of an hour. Seeing that it was almost time, someone came to invite Gu Qiancheng.
"This..." The butler looked hesitant, but the steward was not angry and just said: "The old man said, you can go in and report, it's okay."
The housekeeper didn't dare to offend the people around the old man, so he had no choice but to go in and convey the old man's invitation.
"The old man wants to see you, Qiancheng, go quickly." Mrs. Feng had always been close to Gu Qiancheng, so she spoke more casually.
Gu Qiancheng was really hungry, but...
She didn't dare to keep the old man waiting!
Gu Qiancheng sighed secretly, stood up and saluted Master Feng and Madam Feng, "Sir, Madam, I will go see the old man first."
Master Feng and Mrs. Feng completely forgot that they invited people to dinner, but the guests didn't even see a vegetable leaf. It wasn't until Gu Qiancheng walked out that the couple remembered this...
