Chapter 446 Something happened in his family
Everyone was stunned by him.
But soon someone recognized that this was the child who was the first to withdraw from the exam because he thought the exam room was too narrow.
The grandson of Mr. Pei was only eight years old.
Although he knew he would fail, he couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw others were so excited. He was like a little bully who didn't get his toys. He cried so hard that the servants couldn't comfort him.
Seeing this, other students looked down on him even more.
"The grandson of the Minister of Rites, no wonder." "You
are used to being spoiled at home. You shouldn't come out to take the exam. You have been waiting for your family to take care of you all your life." "
I insisted on withdrawing from the exam. What's there to cry about now? It's not shameful."
The more people ridiculed him, the more uncomfortable the child felt. His sleeves were wet with tears.
At this time, Feng Jing turned around and saw him, but he did not join others in mocking him. Instead, he walked over with a gentle face and said comforting words.
"It's just that you didn't pass the exam once. You can try again next time. Men don't shed tears easily. No matter how sad you are, don't show it in front of others." Feng Jing took out a handkerchief and handed it over.
Pei Lao's grandson accepted the handkerchief, and returned it to him awkwardly, and then said, "Thank you, thank you. My name is Pei Jinbao. I will return your handkerchief to you when I have the chance in the future."
Jiang Fengjing left his name and watched the child leave. There was no arrogance on his face.
Although he got a good ranking, he would not get carried away by being proud.
For a nobleman like Pei Jinbao, it was his first time to experience the torture of the examination room. It was understandable that he could not bear it because of his young age.
There is no need to add insult to injury.
Xiao Nuobao stood at the back and watched. Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind, as if two stars intersected.
She touched her little chin. It seemed that Pei Jinbao would have a close interaction with her fourth brother in the future...
It was getting more and more lively here. People kept recognizing the Jiang family and came to congratulate them.
Feng felt that it was too tiring to agree, and she didn't want to be too conspicuous. She quickly picked up Xiao Nuobao and took the whole family back home.
As soon as the door to the mansion was closed, Feng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said with a smile, "This is good news for Feng Jing, we must celebrate. Come on, Madam Zheng, take the cook to the street to buy more good dishes, and it would be better if we can get some game back. Tomorrow we will hold a celebration banquet to add joy to the fourth child!"
Li Qiqiao took the initiative to invite her, "Then I will go with you, and I will be the chef for the celebration. It would be even better if we can buy one and a half wild deer, and make a deer dish as the main dish!"
When little Nuobao heard that he could celebrate with a big meal, he danced with joy. He decided to invite his father over so that they could have fun together.
Sun Chunxue was also full of joy, and she said, "Mother, this is a good thing, our family should celebrate it in a big way. Should we send out more invitations to those officials who have some contact with our family?"
If the Jiang family is willing to invite, most of the officials' families in the court will be eager to come to the mansion as guests.
But Feng Shi was unwilling to make a fuss. She
was even more lazy to entertain those who were half-acquainted.
"Then there is no need." She shook her head, "This is our family's happy event, only invite our own people to celebrate, so that we can be happy."
"If we send out invitations to many people, not only will it make outsiders feel restrained, but it will also make it seem that our family is showing off, and it will make those who did not pass the exam jealous." Feng Shi thought very carefully.
Jiang Fengnian smiled and rubbed his hands, "Mom is right, it's really lively when we eat and drink behind closed doors."
Feng thought quickly, "In addition to the national teacher and Ali, we can also invite Yang Er and others from Liaodongying, Mrs. Xiao and her mother-in-law, and Old Song and others."
Speaking of Old Song, Xiao Nuobao hasn't seen him for a while.
Since the Jiang family entered Beijing, this old man was sent to Guangdong and Guangxi by Mu Yihan to control the flood.
Now he has just returned to Beijing, and he can't miss such a lively event.
So Jiang Fengnian prepared his horse and went to the Duke's Mansion to inform Old Song.
Jiang Fengze also had to return to Liaodongying to inform his brothers.
But at this time, Mrs. Feng noticed that something was missing. After looking around, she reacted, "By the way, third brother, where is Mr. Xiao? Why didn't he come back with you?"
After saying this, everyone was also puzzled.
You know, Xiao Lanyi is usually in the Jiang family when he is not in the military camp. He and Jiang Fengze hang out together all day long, almost like conjoined twins.
But he suddenly disappeared in the past few days.
Jiang Fengze turned around and waved his hand, "Don't mention it. Three days ago, we were training in the military camp, and someone suddenly came to the Xiao Mansion, saying that there was an important matter in the mansion and he had to go back."
"And he never came back?" Mrs. Feng found it strange.
Jiang Fengze was a little worried after saying this, "Yes, mother, he never showed up again after that. I thought he rarely came home for a few days, so it would be inconvenient to go to his house to look for him. How about I go over there and invite old lady Xiao to dinner tomorrow?"
After saying this, he got on his horse and headed for the Xiao Mansion.
The Xiao Mansion was not far from the Jiang family, just across two alleys.
When Jiang Fengze arrived, he wanted to go directly to the corner gate and ask the gatekeeper.
But who knew, he saw that not only the main gate of the Xiao Mansion was closed, but also the corner gate on the side was closed tightly. You know
, on weekdays, the servants of the Xiao Mansion came in and out, and the corner gate was always open, and a servant would be left to guard it.
Jiang Fengze couldn't help but feel puzzled, so he went forward and knocked on the door.
But strangely, he waited for a long time, but the servants who were usually quick and efficient didn't come out for a long time.
In front of the Xiao Mansion, besides Jiang Fengze, there were only two stone lions. It was so quiet that it was a little strange.
Jiang Fengze's heart began to beat drums, frowning and muttering, "Strange, what's wrong with the Xiao family? They don't even open the door, but what's wrong with the mansion?"
He had to go back first and come back later to take a look.
But just after taking two steps,
he saw two servants in front of the door of a mansion next door, pointing at the Xiao Mansion, muttering something with a schadenfreude on their faces.
