"The Lord of Ji'an County is admiring Fengtong for a banquet with eighteen main dishes, six cold dishes, and four cups of soup stock!"
"The Lord of Ji'an County rewarded Fengtong with thirty-two pieces of clothing material for the guest, and gave it to the County Lord's tailor to come and cut it!"
"The Lord of Ji'an County rewards the guests with phoenix trees and a fruit snack for each person!"
"The Lord of Ji'an County rewards Fengtong's guests with one hundred taels of pocket silver each!"
The dinner in Feng Mansion was carried out amidst the singing. A large number of Tongshengxuan servants filed into the flower hall where they were dining. Everyone was wearing very strange clothes and shoes. I don’t know what the material of the clothes was.
They are transparent, with a hat attached, and separate clothes and pants. They are the same for men and women, with normal clothes separated inside. The shoes under their feet are like high boots, and the material is also unknown. But both the clothes, pants and boots are very waterproof, so they are
Walking like this in the rain, without holding an umbrella, it didn't look awkward at all.
Qingyu brought the things here, and the dishes were served one after another. She saluted the old lady and her second and third uncles, and then said: "The county master heard that guests were coming, so he asked the people in the house to
The cook has prepared meals and delivered them here. The recent heavy rains have blocked all the households delivering food into the city, and Beijing has been unable to deliver fresh ingredients for several days. The county master thought that it must be the same here in Feng Mansion.
There is a shortage, but fortunately there is a reserve in the cellar of the County Lord's Mansion, so someone can prepare it and deliver it." She said while looking at the table. Before the dishes she brought were put on the table, there were even pickles on the table.
, it is really not ordinary shabby.
The faces of the old lady and Feng Jinyuan were a little dark, but they had to admit that the Feng family did not have much reserves. There was a lot of food, and it could be stored if there was a lot, but dishes and meat were not stored for a long time.
The supply of food for this large family has long been at the bottom. They originally thought that if they still couldn't buy food for another two days, they might have to eat pickles every day.
Everyone from her hometown knows that Feng Yuheng is the head of the county. Feng Jinyuan said before that the head of the county had a special residence and would not ask her to come over to have dinner with her due to such a heavy rain. Unexpectedly, that girl was so thoughtful that she actually asked someone to send her there.
When the food came, the second uncle and the third uncle hurriedly stood up and knelt down to thank them, but Qingyu held them back: "Two elders, please don't be so polite. The county boss said that there will be a big funeral for the Feng family today. I'm afraid
Even Feng University Scholar is not in the mood to entertain everyone. She has to do her best to prevent everyone from being wronged." As she spoke, she pointed at the pieces of cloth and said, "There are ready-made tailors in the county lord's mansion, and my servants have already brought them.
Come here, and after dinner is over, let her tailor clothes for everyone. All expenses will be borne by the county government. In addition-" She took the banknotes into her hand again and handed them directly to her second uncle: "A banknote
The ticket is one hundred silver, one for each person, please keep it. There are also some broken silver here for everyone to use in daily life."
The eyes of the second uncle were wet, "Aheng... No, County Lord, the County Lord is really thoughtful. It is already a great favor for the Feng family to take us in. I didn't expect that she can be so hospitable to guests. It's not a bad thing for the Feng family."
Daughter-in-law, good! Good!"
The second uncle praised Feng Yuheng with tears in his eyes, but the third uncle heard something different and asked hurriedly: "What did you just say? The Feng family is mourning?" He looked around doubtfully, but he didn't know.
Seeing no trace of sadness, no one mentioned any big funeral to them since they entered the mansion. What on earth did you say?
Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old lady, and then slapped her forehead: "It seems that the slave is talking too much. The third uncle just thinks that the slave has not said that, so don't ask any more questions!" After saying that, he put his hand in his hand.
He stuffed all the banknotes and scraps of silver into it, and then said: "If you need anything else, send someone to the county master's mansion next door to say goodbye. I'll take my leave first."
After Qingyu finished speaking, she hurriedly left with her servants. Still wearing those strange clothes and those strange shoes, she just rushed into the rain and walked freely.
For a time, people were stunned.
The third uncle, however, was still thinking about the past and asked again: "What happened to the great funeral?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, the old lady sighed helplessly, and then glanced at Cheng Junman. Cheng Junman understood what she meant, so he took the initiative to speak out about Shen Yu. She was very smart and spoke in a cryptic way.
, did not mention the specific reason, only said that he annoyed the emperor and was executed by beheading, and then Feng Jinyuan was demoted to the fifth rank.
The people in my hometown never expected that such an accident would happen, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, in the county lord's palace, Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng were fighting against a big elbow. After trying several times, he found that he couldn't beat his wife, so he gave up and got down to business: "The flash flood in Fengtong County is coming.
It just gave me an idea."
Feng Yuheng asked him while skinning the elbow: "What's your idea?"
He said: "I'm afraid that Qianzhou's matter cannot be kept secret, and we have to buy time for steelmaking, so it would be unreasonable to send troops immediately. I then thought of taking advantage of the heavy rain to arrange for the thieves to go back to Qianzhou, halfway.
The trope of losing one's life in a flash flood can still be used."
Feng Yu Heng's eyes lit up and she stared at Xuan Tianming with wide eyes - "Okay! I can think of such a damaging move!"
"That's right!" Xuan Tianming sat up straight, "What do you think of this idea?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "That's very good! But the people who go to see them off must choose a few reliable people. It's not worth risking the lives of us Dashun people just to send a few of them off."
Xuan Tian meditated for a moment and said, "Call the secret guards!" Then he raised his hand and said, "Come on, come out."
Ban Zou stood in front of the two of them and said, "Your Highness, Master."
Xuan Tianming told him: "You take six people with you and follow me into the palace tomorrow."
Ban Zao nodded, "I obey my orders."
Xuan Tianming waved his hand again, "Then go down!" Ban Zao swayed again and left silently.
For this meal, Feng Yuheng ate a big elbow, four pieces of ribs, half a fish, six shrimps, two lion heads, and a squab. Xuan Tianming was helpless, "Can't you just eat some?"
Green vegetables?"
Someone answered naturally: "I'm not a rabbit." Then asked Huang Quan: "Where is Xiangrong?"
Huang Quan told her: "The third lady said that she would not disturb you and His Highness. She went to have dinner with Madam."
Feng Yuheng thought that it was okay, it was quite boring for Yao to eat alone, so if Xiangrong was with her, she should be a filial piety for her daughter. She lamented in her heart, for Yao, sometimes
There's really nothing you can do against her.
During the dinner, the people in the county lord's mansion had a hearty and happy meal, but no one in the Feng family had any intention of eating. Chen Yu's death shocked the people in his hometown. Everyone knew that it was the best place in the Feng family.
They had also discussed that this daughter of the Feng family would have a great future. But they didn't expect that she would die like this in the best years of her life, which was just before she was born. It was really sad.
Feng Jinyuan took this opportunity to express his feelings again, and saw him pointing at the table of good food and saying: "Feng Yuheng will give you some food, some ingredients, and some money, so you can appreciate her kindness."
, As everyone knows, if she hadn't secretly done something to harm her eldest sister, how could Shen Yu have suffered this disaster, how could I have been demoted to the fifth rank, and how could the Feng family not even be able to keep this house!" He became more and more angry as he spoke, and finally
He actually slapped the table and said loudly: "It's all that little beast. Sooner or later, she will destroy the Feng family!"
This sentence was really loud. It was so loud that the person who was far away could hear it before he entered the flower hall. Hearing a sharp voice suddenly raised, someone said: "Scholar Feng University is here."
Who are you scolding?"
The Feng family were shocked. They all turned around and saw a group of people outside walking toward the flower hall. They were looking for eunuch Zhang Yuan, but he was so impressive. One eunuch actually had four people around him.
A big tent was set up for him, and his whole body was tightly enclosed inside, so that he could not get wet at all.
Feng Jinyuan squinted for a while and quickly recognized that the rain tent belonged to Emperor Tianwu. He would take it out whenever the rain was too heavy. Unexpectedly, the emperor's special thing was actually lent to a eunuch.
It can be seen how kind Emperor Tianwu is to this chapter.
He quickly stood up, and the old lady also stood up. At the same time, he winked at his second uncle and others, and whispered: "The personal eunuch beside the emperor."
As soon as everyone heard this, they stood up quickly. Although he was a eunuch, he came from the palace and was the emperor's personal eunuch, so his status was naturally extraordinary.
Just as everyone was getting up, Zhang Yuan had already walked to the flower hall, took a look inside, and said casually: "Oh! There are quite a lot of people." Then he stepped over the threshold and entered the hall, and walked in front of Feng Jinyuan.
Chu, without any nonsense, said directly: "Scholar Feng University, our family is here to exchange land deeds with you."
Feng Jinyuan looked embarrassed and said: "Eunuch Zhang has also seen it. How can we move with the weather like this outside? Can we slow down and wait for the rain to stop at least, or this old lady..." He turned around and pointed.
In particular, he pointed at the people from his hometown and said: "Look, these are the people who escaped from Fenggong County. The entire county was destroyed by flash floods. They finally escaped to the capital. Old and young, they risked their lives."
Yu's move is really embarrassing... I can't bear it!"
Zhang Yuan nodded, "The Emperor already knows about this, and has also sent people to suppress the disaster. There will naturally be some comfort measures for Fengtong County, so Lord Feng does not need to worry. In addition, the Emperor also said that it will rain so heavily.
It’s true that we can’t move, so don’t rush. If we wait a few days, we won’t collect the rent from Master Feng University. But the land deed must be changed today, so as to save our family from having to run outside the palace all the time. As you know, the palace
There are a lot of things going on here, we can’t even serve the emperor, so how can we have time to come out of the palace again and again!”
Feng Jinyuan said anxiously: "If you don't bother me, father-in-law, come out and I will send you to the palace."
"Oh!" Zhang Yuan laughed immediately, "Scholar Feng is joking. You are now in the fifth rank and are not qualified to enter the palace at any time."
"This..." Feng Jinyuan became anxious, sweat began to form on his forehead, and he kept rubbing his hands.
An asked: "Sir, are you cold?"
He glared at Mr. An coldly, and then stamped his foot: "Okay! Wait a minute, father-in-law. The land deed is in the study. I will go and get it myself right now!"
