The old lady was worried. Every time she came to the imperial edict, it would bring an earthquake-like effect to Feng Mansion. What would it be like this time?
"Don't get up in a hurry." Seeing the old lady holding herself up and gritting her teeth, Aunt Zhao was about to get up. She was so frightened that she quickly held her down. "The doctor said that recovery will be slower if you go to the ground early. You have to listen to the doctor's words.
ah!"
The old lady was gasping in pain. She couldn't get up without Mother Zhao pressing her down. She could only be anxious: "Go and see what the imperial edict says! I can't accept the edict in person. The emperor knows it, but he wants to
It’s your fault!”
Aunt Zhao said: "The master has already led the ladies and aunts in the mansion to receive the order in the front yard. He also told the eunuch who announced the order that you were seriously ill and could not get up. The father-in-law was very reasonable and said no.
If you are in the way, let the old lady take good care of you, and the emperor will not blame you."
The old lady felt relieved and stopped making trouble. She lay quietly on the couch and waited for the news.
About half an hour later, Feng Jinyuan arrived at Shuya Garden with Jin Zhen, the Han family, the An family, and the Yao family.
Because she had to receive the imperial edict, Mrs. Yao left the door of Tongshengxuan for the first time. When the old lady saw Mr. Yao, she felt like she was seeing a relative, and tears flowed down her face.
When Yao saw this, she also sighed. She had heard that the old lady was not happy these days because of Aheng and Feng Jinyuan. She also heard that the old lady lay on the bed crying all day long because Aheng died early. Although it was possible
It was because of her back problem that she missed Feng Yuheng even more. But when she met Bu Cong on the way, the old lady also said, "I'm not the only one who has feelings for you, what about you?"
Yao was not a hard-hearted person to begin with, and the reason why she became so strong now was completely stimulated by the fact that her daughter was dead. Now she knew that Aheng was still alive, and she felt that the old lady was still more or less missed.
With some favors, the resentment in my heart became less.
She took a step forward and took out a small pile of plasters from her sleeve pocket: "I found this in the medicine room left by Aheng in Tongshengxuan. That's all there is. Aheng used to bring you plasters."
I've seen it before, it's like this. The old lady, just use it first, it will last for a while, I hope it can get better soon."
When the old lady saw these plasters, she was more familiar with them than money, and her eyes shone. She quickly reached out to take the plasters and put them in her arms. Then she took Yao and said with tears in her eyes: "You are living in Tongshengxuan."
Are you okay? Did the government treat us harshly? Now that I'm ill and can't get out of bed, people with ulterior motives will bully you if I don't survive." She said while glaring at Mrs. Han.
This glance made Mr. Han glare so unfairly - "Old lady! I really want to go to Tongshengxuan, but the question is, can I get in? Don't blame all bad things on me!"
"Didn't I say that I never want to see this bitch again?" The old lady looked at Feng Jinyuan, "Why did you bring her here?"
Feng Jinyuan also hates Han now. This woman's previously unlovable appearance has suddenly changed, and she has become more and more annoying. But today, Han has to come.
He was about to explain a few words to the old lady when he heard the old lady holding Yao's hand and saying: "Have you sent someone to look for Ah Heng again? I always feel that she is not dead yet. Such a clever girl.
How could he be burned to death by fire?"
This was what Feng Jinyuan didn't like to hear the most. He immediately cleared his throat and interrupted the old lady's words - "Mother, there is an imperial edict from the palace."
The old lady was stunned, and then she remembered the imperial edict again. Compared with asking about Feng Yuheng, the imperial edict was more important at the moment, so she quickly stopped talking and asked instead: "Who is the imperial edict for? What does it say above?"
Feng Jinyuan said: "The subordinates have sent it to the Feng Mansion. Not only the Feng Mansion, I'm afraid that the families of all officials above the fourth rank have also received the same decree."
"What is the purpose?" The old lady was a little worried.
Feng Jinyuan then said: "The Emperor has newly granted a title to the Lord of Ji'an County. He not only gave him a title, but also a fiefdom. I heard that the Lord of Ji'an County was frightened a while ago, and the Emperor issued a decree to hold the ceremony in the palace.
She was so shocked by the banquet that she invited all officials of fourth rank or above in Beijing and their family members to attend, and the date was set for the tenth day of this month."
The old lady counted with her fingers, "On the tenth day of the lunar month... isn't that the day after tomorrow?"
Feng Jinyuan nodded, "The time is a little rushed. The order sent to our house not only invited our son, but also specified that all the ladies in the house should be present."
Mrs. Han covered her mouth and chuckled: "The emperor means that the fourth lady must also enter the palace!" She emphasized the word "must", and the old lady turned green with anger.
But no matter how angry she was, there was nothing she could do. Feng Jinyuan could not make fun of the imperial edict. If he said it was all the ladies in the house, then it must be all the ladies.
The old lady took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said helplessly: "Then send someone to bring her back."
There was a smile on Mrs. Han's face, "Old lady, do you need someone to hurry up and make some clothes for the Fourth Miss? It's winter now, and while the Fourth Miss is still growing, the clothes from last winter are no longer available.
Weared."
How could the old lady not know this truth, but she just didn't want to do it. She just felt sick when she thought of what Feng Fendai had done. So she said harshly: "You also know that winter is here! How can winter clothes be changed?"
Finished on the same day? Do you want her to wear half-cut clothes when she enters the palace the day after tomorrow?"
Mr. Han glared: "Then you should go to the clothing store to buy it!"
The old lady nodded now, "Well, there are many ready-to-wear shops on the street. Let me buy it. As for the price, you can pay for it yourself. You can buy whatever you want."
Mrs. Han was so angry that she pulled Feng Jinyuan's sleeves and began to cry: "Master! The Fourth Miss is your biological daughter! Although she is a concubine, but now in the house... Oh, Master, isn't the old lady bullying others like this?
"
Feng Jinyuan didn't think the old lady was bullying anyone. If it weren't for the imperial edict that all the ladies should go, he wouldn't want Feng Fendai to come back.
Jin Zhen saw Feng Jinyuan's intention from the side and started to persuade Han: "Sister, please don't embarrass me. It's just a piece of clothing. I've been in the house for so long, so I won't be able to get even this little money."
Come out?"
"What do you know? As a servant, how can you speak here?" If there is anyone the Han family hates the most in this mansion, apart from Feng Yuheng, it must be Jin Zhen. She was originally Feng Jinyuan's
She is a special favorite. Ever since she got Jin Zhen, Feng Jinyuan has refused to even enter her yard. This bitch has robbed all the favors that should have been hers. When Han looked at Jin Zhen, she could see everything in her eyes.
Breathing out fire, he couldn't help but curse again: "Despicable thing!"
"You..." Jin Zhen's face was full of grievance, and she fell on Feng Jinyuan's shoulder and started crying.
The old lady pointed at Mr. Han and said, "Get out of here! You will not be allowed to set foot in my Shuya Garden from now on! Get out!"
Mrs. Han was not willing to leave, so she kept saying: "The fourth lady is coming back soon, and the old lady must add more things to the fourth lady's house."
Feng Jinyuan glared sharply and said, "Get out!" After he finished speaking, the boy next to him rushed forward, grabbed Han's collar and pulled it out.
Han didn't have the strength of the young boy, so he was dragged out in a short time. Her noises were heard getting farther and farther away, and the old lady finally felt that she could breathe. She looked at Jin Zhen again and couldn't help but comforted:
"Stop crying, Mrs. Han has reminded me that it's winter and your clothes are all right. Aunt Zhao, you can do it tomorrow!"
"Hey, I have taken note of it." The old nanny responded repeatedly, and then said: "It's just that the young ladies couldn't get dressed in a hurry when they entered the palace. The imperial edict came too suddenly."
Feng Jinyuan said: "Chen Yu has plenty of new clothes. There is no need to make any more. Xiangrong and Fendai should go to the clothing store outside to have a look!"
Anshi quickly answered: "Miss Third, I have purchased a few pieces of winter clothes here in advance, so there is no need to buy any more."
"Then let's settle it!" the old lady sealed her words, "You go back and prepare yourself, tell us all the rules, and don't embarrass the Feng family by entering the palace. Okay, go back, I'm going to rest.
"
Why are you resting? She just wants to drive everyone away quickly so that she can quickly apply the plaster that Yao brought.
How could Mrs. Yao not understand what she meant? She took the initiative to lean down and said, "Then I will go back first." What was found in the medicine room was basically brought by Ban Zong from Feng Yuheng.
, and also brought a message that the old lady could not fall down now, and at least she could speak more for the second young lady. These plasters also reassured Yao, at least knowing that her Ah Heng was really fine.
The old lady glanced at Mr. Yao gratefully and said softly: "Go!"
Feng Jinyuan didn't say anything, only said: "Mother, please have a good rest." He turned around and left with his concubines.
As soon as the person left, the old lady quickly called out to Aunt Zhao: "Hurry up! Boil some water and rub my back. I need to apply plaster!"
Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "When Aunt Yao brought the plaster, the old slave had already ordered it to be put on, and it is almost ready now."
The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled, but soon she became sad again, "It would be great if Ah Heng was still here."
Aunt Zhao also sighed, "If the second young lady was still here, how could the old lady's back problem be so serious?"
The old lady corrected her: "If Aheng was still here, how could I have slipped away!"
"Yes, yes." Aunt Zhao quickly followed her words, "It's all that Han's fault, he doesn't understand the rules."
"To say that the best one has to be the Yao family, she is a serious lady. During the years when she was in charge of the family, the Feng family was so smooth. Even Jin Yuan's official career was rising all the way. It's a pity...sigh.
"She sighed heavily, "Wherever Jin Yuan goes now, there are a bunch of concubines behind him, not even a mistress, what does it look like!"
Aunt Zhao's heart moved. The old lady meant...
"After the palace banquet is over, it's time for the Feng family to create a new grandmother." The old lady said as expected, "After avoiding the limelight of the Yao family for several years, it seems that there is no big deal now. Didn't all Zi Rui go to Yunlu Academy?
Have you gone to study? You have also become a disciple of Mr. Ye Shan. I think it is appropriate to come to our house and lift Yao back to the position of grandmother."
Aunt Zhao nodded: "Indeed, Mrs. Yao... is indeed the best candidate."
Early the next morning, Feng Fendai returned home, and Feng Jinyuan personally sent someone to pick her up.
Mrs. Han was waiting at the door early in the morning. Out of curiosity, other people in the house also came to the door. Except for Mr. Yao who was still in Tongshengxuan, even Chen Yu came out.
Not long after, a carriage was seen coming from a distance and stopped in front of Feng's house.
A servant stepped forward to put a footstool on the carriage, then lifted the curtain, and saw a young girl in simple clothes walking down. She was thin and her face was slightly dark.
Mrs. Han burst into tears and rushed towards her: "My Fendai! Why are you so thin?" [End of Chapter]
