"What is this?" Fendai took the small box handed by Hongyun, opened it and looked at it, and felt the fragrance hit her nose.
"Ning Ji Cream." Hongyun told her, "It is very effective for the scars on your face. It will disappear in a month at most."
"Really?" Fendai was pleasantly surprised.
Hongyun nodded, "Really." Then asked, "Do you still want to practice dancing?"
Fendai immediately took off her shoes and socks and stood in the snow. Her teeth were shaking from the cold, but she still insisted: "Practice! No matter who it is for, I will learn this dance!"
That night, in the Buddhist hall of Chen Yuyuan, Yi Lin leaned over Chen Yu and whispered softly.
Not long after, Chen Yu saw a layer of ruthlessness in Chen Yu's eyes, "Do it! You must do it! But this time you are absolutely not allowed to fail. Go tell your third uncle and ask him to find the best person and do it neatly."
That girl is very smart, so she must not leave even a trace."
"My slave will tell you." Yilin added, "The third master said that she will definitely pick her up by then. I hope the young lady can drag her along."
Chen Yu was a little irritated, "It's not easy to drag her away. Why didn't uncle take action earlier?"
Yilin told her: "The third master said that the other party will be escorted all the way, and the escorts will not be withdrawn until they reach the boundary of the capital, so I chose this time to take action."
"That's all, I just want to put it off. Anyway, it must be done this time. If it doesn't happen again, tell your uncle that he won't have to interfere with my affairs here in the future. I will take care of anyone who blocks my way."
Yilin nodded, glanced at the candle that was almost burning out, and couldn't help but said: "Miss, please rest, it will hurt your eyes. The old lady didn't say how many days it would take to finish copying this sutra."
, we can take our time."
But Chen Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "It will happen gradually, my father will be back soon. During his absence, I suffered a lot in the house. If I don't make it clear on my face, how can he show mercy."
Yi Lin's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Young lady is really smart, then I will help you change two more candles."
"Just change it! It's too bright and it's not good."
At noon the next day, everyone in the Feng Mansion went to Shuya Garden to pay their respects to the old lady.
The day for Feng Jinyuan to return to Beijing is getting closer and closer, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so the old lady's face is always filled with joy.
Chen Yu was sitting below with a dark circle under his eyes. The old lady looked a little distressed and kept telling her: "If you can't sleep well at night, please ask the doctor to prescribe a prescription to soothe your nerves. It's always like this."
No, I've noticed that you seem to have lost some weight in the past two days."
Yi Lin quickly answered for Shen Yu: "The old lady doesn't know something. The eldest lady has been copying sutras in the Buddhist hall every night until nearly dawn. She has copied more than half of the hundred sutras."
"So fast?" The old lady was really surprised, with a look of distress on her face. "I'm punishing you to copy the scriptures a hundred times, but I didn't stipulate how many days you have to finish copying. Why do you have to work so hard?"
Chen Yu stood up, leaned towards the old lady, and said, "My granddaughter doesn't think it's hard. Copying scriptures is a matter of meditation, not to mention that his father is coming back soon. Chen Yu always wants to do it for his father while copying scriptures."
Pray for blessings and hope that my father will have a safe journey."
What he said was generous and decent, which pleased the old lady very much.
But the old lady was happy, but Han and Fendai were not happy. Fendai snorted coldly and said, "Sister, you are really good at talking. You are obviously being punished, but you talk like you are a great benefactor."
"That's enough!" The old lady couldn't stand Fendai's choking. In addition, she didn't invite the imperial chef to make herbal meals as she had promised, so she was even more unhappy with Fendai. "If you have a heart, think about what I should do for you."
Father, do something instead of learning useless dances all day long."
"Why is it useless!" Feng Fendai was anxious, "Does grandma not want Fendai to live well at all? In your heart, you only have the eldest sister, and everything she does is good."
"Why did the fourth sister talk to my grandmother like this? Kneel down and admit your mistake!"
Fendai raised her chin, "I'm right!"
The old lady was trembling with anger. Aunt Zhao was on the side and urged her: "Old lady, please calm down! The fourth lady has that temper. We agreed not to be angry today."
The old lady gasped for breath, grabbed Nanny Zhao's hand and said: "Yes, yes, we agreed not to be angry today, but it's a pity that the descendants are unfilial and the family is uneasy!"
Feng Yuheng looked at the farce in the room and simply closed her eyes. She was just here for a formality and had no intention of getting involved in this kind of gossip.
Finally, the old lady's mood calmed down, and she spoke again: "At the end of the new year, the government has made new clothes for you all, one set for each of you, so you can wear them when you enter the palace on the first day of the new year."
After saying that, four maids came in and handed four pieces of clothing to the four ladies sitting there. The clothes were made of Sichuan brocade, which was very expensive. Each of the four people had the same color, and the fish was as white as a sinking fish, and the phoenix feathers were shining in blue.
Goose yellow, Fendai is light pink.
Naturally, everyone likes such good clothes. Even Feng Yuheng had to secretly admire the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient Xiu Niang. The patterns and colors embroidered on the material were so exquisite that they actually had a vague three-dimensional feel.
After getting such good clothes, Fendai immediately became happy and said sweetly: "Thank you, grandma."
The old lady didn't like to hear what she said, so she raised her hand and said, "It's okay, you all can go back." The whole room of people left in a hurry.
Fendai helped Mr. Han walk slower, and Feng Yuheng also deliberately slowed down her pace, seemingly unintentionally chatting with Huang Quan: "I heard that there was a queen who drowned in the palace who loved winter the most. Let's go here.
Do you think it’s strange that she can wear light clothes and walk barefoot in the snow even though she is bundled up tightly in the winter?”
Huang Quan knew what Feng Yuheng was thinking, so he glanced at Fendai beside him and saw that her face was startled and she was looking this way hesitantly.
"The lady is absolutely right, and my servant has also heard about it. Not only can the lady walk barefoot in the snow, she is also particularly good at making tea with the snow water accumulated on the wintersweet. She also prefers white, the kind that looks like snow.
The color of the earth can blend into one. Some servants will call her Xuefei in private."
"You know you get more than me." Feng Yuheng smiled evilly and quickened her pace.
"I used to serve in Prince Yu's Mansion, so naturally I heard more." Huang Quan responded to the last sentence and hurriedly followed her out of Shu Yayuan.
Fendai, who heard all these words, was very happy. Although Feng Yuheng did not say clearly who the concubine was, how many concubines were drowned in the palace? Who else can walk on the snow barefoot?
She had an idea in her mind and was very happy to overhear the news. She thought she would practice how to make tea with snow water when she had time.
But when she glanced again, she saw the clothes Aju was holding in her hand. She originally liked the pink and tender look, but now she heard that the concubine liked to wear white, so she took the clothes over and hurriedly
I'm looking for phoenix and fish skewers in exchange.
Feng Yuheng, who had already walked away, could not help but raise the corners of her lips when she heard the noise of the two sisters behind her.
After returning to Tongshengxuan, she packed the gifts she had packed before into the car, and took Huang Quan to visit several mansions in person to deliver all the gifts.
It was already evening when she came back. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Yao holding a letter and excitedly telling her: "Zi Rui will arrive in Beijing tomorrow."
This was indeed good news. Feng Yuheng read the letter and saw that it was Qing Yu's handwriting, and she became happy too.
Naturally, she wanted to pick Zirui up when he returned to Beijing. Yao also wanted to go with her, but was stopped by Feng Yuheng: "Mother, just stay in the house and prepare some food for Zirui. That child
After being out for a long time, I will definitely miss the food you cooked by yourself." This finally gave up Yao's idea.
After she returned to the yard, she said to Huang Quan: "There is something wrong with mother. Her diet still needs to be checked."
Huang Quan also became nervous: "What did Miss find?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "I'm just worried because I didn't find anything. I changed the medicine last time, but unfortunately, the replenished energy and blood was inexplicably drained again. You should keep an eye on this matter, and don't act too hastily. It can happen under our noses.
If you use some tricks underneath, this person may be able to pull out a big fish."
After a night, it was finally time for Zi Rui to return to Beijing.
There was no news at the Feng Mansion, and there was no movement. Feng Yuheng took Huang Quan and was preparing to leave the house, when the girl in the courtyard came to report: "The eldest lady of the Feng family is here, and I want to see her."
"Feng Chenyu?" She was stunned for a moment, wondering what she was doing here. But no matter what she was doing, she didn't have time to care about it right now, so she hurried out and told the girl, "Fight her away, just say I have something to do."
"But..." the little girl chased her two steps, "The eldest lady of the Feng family said she was here to give a New Year's gift. She has prepared it for you and your wife, and the young master is waiting at the door with someone holding it."
Huang Quan thought for a while and said, "Why don't we see what she gave?"
Feng Yuheng stopped and thought for a long time, then nodded and asked the girl to invite someone. But she turned around and said to Huang Quan: "My right eyelid has been twitching all morning, and I always feel flustered."
"Did the young lady not sleep well last night? She must only be thinking about the young master."
After Huang Quan's advice, she felt that this was also the case, so she didn't take it to heart.
Not long after, Feng Chenyu was led down to her yard by the maid, followed by several servants carrying things.
As soon as he saw her, Feng Chenyu's Bodhisattva face turned bright again: "Looking at the second sister like this, are you going to leave the house? Fortunately, I have the time now, otherwise I still wouldn't be able to see my sister."
Feng Yuheng's panic came back inexplicably. She really wanted to throw Feng Chenyu out of Tongshengxuan, but as the old saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. They are here to give gifts, so she would not
Too good.
"I heard that the eldest sister is here to give New Year's gifts, but my sister was negligent. I should have sent them to Feng Mansion first." She sat down on the stone chair in the courtyard and had no intention of inviting anyone into the house.
.
Chen Yu didn't care, and simply stood outside and chatted: "The Chinese New Year is almost here, my sister made some clothes for Zi Rui, and prepared some supplements for Mrs. Aunt Yao, and this -" As he said,
Passing a wooden box to Feng Yuheng, "These are a pair of gold bracelets with hollow carvings on them. My uncle brought them back from the country. I looked very beautiful, so I gave them to my sister as a gift."
Already."
"So, my sister accepted it, and thanked my eldest sister on behalf of my mother and Zi Rui." She signaled to the subordinates to accept the gift, and stood up again, "I have something to do today, so I won't keep my eldest sister too much. I will give her a generous back-up later.
A gift in return.”
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Chen Yu actually ignored Feng Yuheng's words to see off the guests. He even took two steps forward and said more enthusiastically: "We sisters, it's just noisy on weekdays.
We can really make enemies, don't you think?" As he said this, he actually sat down on the stone chair opposite Feng Yuheng.
Feng Yuheng looked at Shen Yu's posture, and the inexplicable panic and irritation in her heart surged up again.
She always trusted her instincts, but this kind of irritation was so uncontrollable that it kept rising.
Feng Chenyu is not here to give gifts!
As soon as this idea came to her, she didn't wait any longer, and made a decisive decision before getting up, and without saying a word, she walked out quickly—— [End of this chapter]
