Cheng Junman's words confused Feng Jinyuan. He asked blankly: "What kind of IOU is there? Where did you get the IOU?"
"Of course it's an IOU that owed the second lady two hundred thousand taels of silver." Cheng Junman blinked and told him solemnly: "The old lady borrowed the money and spent it on the Feng family. The second lady is only thirteen years old now.
If she is born with a hairpin, she has no obligation to bear the family debt. What's more, even if she is born with a hairpin, she is still married as a woman and has entered the royal family tree, and she should not bear the debts of the Feng family. Today, the second lady took out the two hundred thousand, which is an urgent need for the Feng family.
, we should be grateful, but we must not accept it for granted. Therefore, the master must write an IOU and set a time limit to return the money, so that he will not be blamed and his children will not be looked down upon. "
Her words made Feng Jinyuan's face turn red and white. He wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in. But at this time, Zi Rui spoke again and said: "Zi Rui hasn't replied for more than half a year."
Jing, has this family been so defeated by my father that I can't even get out a mere two hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Feng Jinyuan opened his mouth and was about to retort when Zi Rui's words came again: "I remember that before the eldest princess Qianzhou came in, she heard that her father spent a lot of money to buy something for her."
He shook his head and said, "Father, you are the head of the family, but why do you only think about yourself when doing things, and can't you think more about your children?"
Zirui was the youngest and shortest, but he spoke more like an adult. Being scolded by such a young child, Feng Jinyuan's old face was simply unbearable. He pointed at Zi Rui tremblingly.
Rui, just wanted to curse a few words, but Cheng Junmei said instead: "Young master is the emperor's junior brother, you should think twice before you act."
Feng Jinyuan felt that her life was very aggrieved. One of her daughters was the head of the county and could not be beaten or scolded. One of her sons was the emperor's junior brother, and he was even more difficult to recruit. The principal wife and his wife were nieces of the empress and could only be praised.
For a long time, there was only an old lady who could talk to him, but now, the old lady is gone too.
He felt uncomfortable, and finally his nose became sore and he cried.
This was the first time that he really shed tears after the old lady passed away. He walked towards the mourning hall while crying, until he knelt in front of the old lady's soul and his crying turned into howling.
The others also followed back and stood there quietly watching him cry until he was tired of crying and his voice became softer. Cheng Junman then said: "If the master is not willing to bear the debt, then use the old lady to
The two remaining villages have arrived."
Feng Jinyuan had no objection and nodded casually, accepting the matter.
Feng Yuheng looked at the people in this room with their own thoughts indifferently, sneered in her heart, and then said: "There are two villages, one for Xiangrong and one for Fendai. It can be regarded as a dowry for my sisters to get married in the future.
"After saying that, he took Zi Rui and Xiang Rong's hands again and returned to Tongshengxuan.
On the way, Xiangrong said to her: "Second sister, you bought that Zhuangzi with your money, Xiangrong doesn't want it."
She was not in a good mood, so she just shook Xiangrong's hand and said, "Since it's given to you, just keep it. No matter who you marry in the future, a bigger dowry will always look good, so that you won't be bullied by others in your husband's family."
If my wife borrowed the money and used it for other purposes, I would not care about it, but she was also kind-hearted and used it to help her uncles in her hometown to settle into new houses. When we returned to Fengtong County to worship our ancestors, the old patriarch treated me very well.
Yes, I won’t lose money for this money.”
Speaking of this, Xiangrong would look coquettish if he refused, so he nodded and said sincerely: "Thank you, second sister."
Several people returned to Tongshengxuan. As soon as Zi Rui entered the house, he rushed inside. Feng Yuheng looked up and saw Yao Xian with his arms open, waiting for the child to pounce on him.
Seeing Zirui being picked up by Yao Xian and the grandpa and grandson spinning around in circles, she seemed to be back when she was a child. She was also held by her grandpa like this, spinning around and around. She would also pull her grandpa's beard and call him
Fairy old man. All of this seems to have happened yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, it has already passed away. Fortunately, the master has mercy and she and her grandfather can be reunited in Dashun. This is the greatest blessing in misfortune.
She stepped forward, patted Zi Rui and said, "Grandpa is old. You are so heavy, but you will tire him out."
Zi Rui hugged Yao Xian's neck and refused to let go, and said seriously: "Zi Rui will start eating less today to lighten his body, so that grandpa can always hold Zi Rui in his arms."
Yao Xian laughed loudly, and walked towards Yao's yard with Zirui in his arms. As he walked, he said, "Just open your mouth and eat. Even my grandpa can hold him. But now you have to go see your mother. He can
Miss you!"
Feng Yuheng watched the old and the young walking away, the smile on her face not fading for a long time. Xiangrong tugged on her sleeve: "Second sister, I'm so hungry."
Feng Yuheng was also hungry. She originally wanted to eat when she got home, but she didn't know that there were many things going on in Feng Mansion. After such a delay, it became completely dark.
She quickly ordered her servants to prepare meals, and then took Xiangrong back to her yard.
As soon as the food was served, Yao Xian also arrived. The three of them gathered at the table to eat together. Xiangrong stared at Yao Xian while eating, which made Yao Xian look unnatural. He put down his rice bowl and touched his own
He looked helplessly and said: "Third girl, if you keep staring like this, grandpa won't be able to eat."
Xiangrong said "Pfft" and became happy. He quickly helped Yao Xian pick up the chopsticks and put them into his hands. He said with a smile: "It's not okay for grandpa to be unable to eat. Xiangrong just misses grandpa. Since grandpa took his uncle and
After my cousins left Beijing, Mrs. Yao and her second sister also left not long after. Xiangrong was waiting for you to come back every day in the house, and now they are finally back, I am so happy."
Mentioning the past events, several people couldn't help but feel emotional again. Yao Xian patted Xiangrong on the head and said helplessly: "It's just that your father is not a good thing. He doesn't take good care of his children. He only thinks about climbing up the dragon and clinging to the phoenix.
Even if he ends up in this situation now, I don't think he would be heartbroken."
Feng Yuheng shook her head, "Is he willing to die? It's just that now that Feng Chenyu doesn't have the queen position for him, I don't know who he will target next." She said, looking at him.
Xiangrong, Xiangrong's face darkened, already understanding what his sister meant. "Don't be afraid." He patted the back of Xiangrong's hand, "You are still young, Feng Jinyuan just made up his mind, and that happened a few years later. Who knows what will happen next?"
What else will happen in four years?
"That's right." Yao Xian agreed with what he said, "I don't know what will happen tomorrow, so little girl, don't think too much about it."
Xiangrong nodded and smiled.
Feng Yuheng had no intention of persuading her. There were still four years left, and this girl still needed more training. But there was one thing that had to be done at the moment. She discussed with Yao Xian: "Grandpa will come with me to the palace tomorrow."
How is it?"
"What? Enter the palace?" Yao Xian was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands: "No, no, no! It's not like you don't know, I..." He paused here, glanced at Xiang Rong, and then changed the subject.
: "It's not like you don't know that I'm returning to Beijing in defiance of the decree this time, and the old emperor hasn't asked me to come back yet."
Xiangrong was a sensible child, so he couldn't see the situation clearly, so he quickly finished the last bite of rice in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said: "Grandpa, second sister, you guys chat first, I'll go play with Zirui for a while.
"The little guy hasn't been back for a long time, I miss him so much." After saying that, he got up and ran away.
Yao Xian looked at the background where Xiang Rong ran out and shook his head helplessly, "These three girls look very close to Yao Xian. Unfortunately, I can't find much about her in Yao Xian's memory."
Feng Yuheng told him: "That's because the real Yao Xian hates these concubines of Feng Jinyuan. Even though An is brought in by Yao, he still feels awkward. The Yao family has rules, and men are not tolerated.
Concubines, women are not concubines, but Feng Jinyuan’s concubines are carried to the house one after another. Do you think the real Yao Xian can have a good impression on the children born by concubines?"
The old man nodded, "That's right. I said, Ah Heng, you know clearly that I am not the real Yao Xian, why are you still trying to let me into the palace? The shadow of the emperor in old Yao Xian's memory is not old or young, he
The relationship between the two of us is very close, won’t I suffer if my secret is exposed?”
Feng Yuheng laughed, "Grandpa, grandpa, what can you reveal? Your soul has lived in this body, and you are not disguised. No matter who, no matter how you try to expose it, you are undoubtedly the real Yao Xian!"
"
But he still waved his hand: "No, no, I'm not mentally prepared to enter the palace yet."
"What can we prepare for?" Feng Yuheng was helpless, "Although the current sage may be a grumpy and irritable person to others, he is actually a person who attaches great importance to love and justice. What's more, I hope
Grandpa will enter the palace tomorrow, but the actual purpose is to hold the emperor back and stop him from bothering Concubine Yun."
"Fei Yun?" Yao Xian was stunned again, and then he searched hard in his mind. He seemed to have some impression, but it was not profound.
Looking at him like this, Feng Yuheng knew that there was nothing to do, but she still asked unwillingly: "Really, you can't remember anything? Regarding Concubine Yun, she is the biological mother of His Highness Ninth Prince. Grandpa, Concubine Yun has something to do with Yao Xian.
What a weird obsession!”
The old man thought for a while and shook his head helplessly, "Unexpectedly, old Yao Xian's memory can only find that he lived in a mountain for a long time when he was young, during which he was treating a person, a woman.
She was around 20 years old, but I can’t remember the details, and even the appearance of the woman is vague.”
Feng Yuheng frowned and calculated that when Yao Xian was young, he treated a woman in her twenties. That woman obviously couldn't be Concubine Yun. Her age was wrong, so who could she be?
She couldn't figure out what was going on, and was a little annoyed, but she still asked him unwillingly: "Really, you can't go to the palace? In fact, grandpa, even if you don't go tomorrow, you will have to go sooner or later."
Yao Xian was very determined, "It's a day as long as it lasts. When the Yao family left Beijing, he said he would take good care of you, mother and daughter, but Feng Jinyuan still sent him to such a remote place to commit suicide. I think
I get angry just thinking about it. I won’t enter the palace! I won’t enter the palace until I die!”
Feng Yuheng knew her grandfather's stubborn temper, so she stopped trying to persuade him, and just gave him another piece of pork ribs: "Eat more, this is made by the chef of Xianya House. You don't know Xianya House yet, right?"
After the funeral of the Feng family is finished, I will take grandpa to have a meal."
Grandfather and grandson were chatting. Outside the door, Huang Quan hurriedly ran back - "Miss." She came to Feng Yuheng and said anxiously: "When I just came back from the Yamen, I happened to encounter Duan Muqing's motorcade.
I heard that we were going back to the northern border. But the curtain of the carriage was blown up by the wind, and I saw the person inside, who seemed to be... His Highness the Third!"
