Chapter 62: Home Visit
Feng Yuanhao pushed the wheelchair in, and Wang Jiang drove the carriage to the yard.
Upon hearing the sound, Madam Yuan and her daughter also walked out of the hall and waited in the corridor.
"Prince Feng?" Madam Yuan Li Meixiang recognized the person when she saw him.
She had seen him a few years ago, and he was sitting in a wheelchair, so she recognized him immediately.
"Junior Feng Yuanhao has met Aunt Yuan.
" Feng Yuanhao bowed respectfully.
"Prince Feng is polite." "Hello, Miss Yuan." Feng Yuanhao greeted Yuan Qiaolan again.
"Prince Feng." Yuan Qiaolan stood beside Li Meixiang and bent her knees.
At this time, Wang Jiang came over with a lot of things in his hands.
"Madam Yuan, the prince bought some souvenirs on the street, please accept them."
Li Meixiang and her daughter didn't know what to say when they saw what Wang Jiang was holding.
Various vegetables, a few pounds of meat, and two bottles of wine.
It was so practical.
This showed that he knew their family's situation, and the gifts touched people's hearts.
And such things were not expensive, so people couldn't find a reason to refuse them.
"Yueniang, take it and send it to the kitchen. The master will be back soon. Let's start making lunch now."
"Oh." The old woman named Yueniang immediately stepped forward to take it, smiling happily.
We can add two more dishes for lunch.
Wang Jiang went to the carriage and took out a box.
"Prince Feng, what is this?" Li Meixiang thought Feng Yuanhao would just take some food, but she didn't expect there would be another box.
"Aunt Yuan, I passed by a bookstore on the way here and bought a few books. I brought them
here to discuss with Lord Yuan." [Big brother, this is a great excuse. After the discussion, there is no need to take the books away. Sister Yuan will also have some to read.] Feng Tianxing rolled her eyes, looked at Li Meixiang, and then looked at Yuan Qiaolan.
Both of them did not look very good.
Although Mrs. Li was much better, she looked more than 40 in her thirties.
The conditions at home were not good, and she probably did not take any care of herself. The food she ate was probably not nutritious enough.
Sister Yuan was much worse. There was no color on her face at all. She was
so thin that she looked like she would fall down if the wind blew.
"Then move to your husband's study. Qiaolan, take this young man with you." There were only three of them at home, so they could only let the maiden take care of the person.
"Oh, this is Miss Feng, she looks so festive." Everyone praised Feng Tianxing like this when they saw her.
A round face gives people a festive feeling.
Feng Tianxing said "ah" twice as a greeting.
Li Meixiang went forward and picked up Feng Tianxing from Feng Yuanhao's arms.
"How long has it been since I held such a small baby. Yue Niang, go to the room and get the small purse I just embroidered, and hang it around Miss Feng's waist." Li Meixiang liked Feng Tianxing very much, even though it was the first time they met.
This is the first impression.
She also felt sorry for this little baby, who was harmed by someone at such a young age and could not even speak.
Feng Yuanhao and his sister were brought into the main hall and sat down.
Yuan Qiaolan served tea personally.
Feng Yuanhao knew it was not a good tea as soon as he smelled it. But he did not dislike it, and took a sip very elegantly.
At this time, Yuan Yinan came back, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw a carriage in the yard.
"Qiaolan, are there guests at home?" He shouted before entering the house.
The house only had two small entrances, and he stepped into the main hall in a few steps.
"Hey, Prince Feng, I just heard yesterday that you would come to my house?" Yuan Yinan was very happy.
He had never met Feng Yuanhao before, but at the palace banquet yesterday, he had a very good impression of him, not arrogant or impatient, and very polite.
Such a nobleman is rare, which also shows that the family education of the Marquis's Mansion is good.
He is also willing to get close to such a family.
"Uncle Yuan, I am sorry to bother you." Feng Yuanhao greeted.
"No problem, no problem." Yuan Yinan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Madam, please prepare two more dishes for lunch. Prince Feng and I will have a couple of drinks." Yuan Yinan turned to Li Meixiang and said.
"I have already told Yue Niang. I will go to the kitchen to cook now. Qiaolan, you take Miss Feng to play."
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianxing took the initiative to step forward and hold Yuan Qiaolan's hand.
Feng Yuanhao was naturally taken to his study by Yuan Yinan to discuss academic matters.
And Feng Tianxing was taken to her room by Yuan Qiaolan.
It was very simple, a wooden bed without carvings, but the embroidery on the mosquito net was very beautiful, it was bamboo branches, very elegant.
There were a few books, a bronze mirror, and a small jewelry box on a dressing table, nothing else.
Feng Tianxing was taken by Yuan Qiaolan to sit on the only stool, and then hugged to her lap.
"Sister Feng, can I read you a story?" Faced with a child who couldn't talk, Yuan Qiaolan didn't know how to communicate with it.
Fortunately, the child was very well-behaved and didn't run around.
Feng Tianxing nodded.
Yuan Qiaolan's voice was soft and sweet. It was very pleasant to listen to.
It was a very childlike story, and Feng Tianxing was fascinated by it. This experience was the first time in her life.
Big brother only taught her to read and write, and had never read stories to her.
No, I have to find a way to marry my eldest sister-in-law as soon as possible so that I can read stories to her every day.
Big brother is a gentleman, it is impossible for him to confess to someone in a reckless way.
It will take a long time to boil a frog in warm water.
Besides, Sister Yuan knew that she couldn't get married, and she would not have any feelings for big brother.
Feng Tianxing was very entangled.
On the other side, in the study room.
Yuan Yinan tested Feng Yuanhao.
"Prince Feng, I didn't expect that you, a martial artist, could be so knowledgeable."
"Uncle Yuan gave me a great reward. I have not been able to go out for the past two years, so I have to spend my time reading. I want to take part in the imperial examination, is that feasible?"
"If you have a good teacher, it shouldn't be a big problem. But you can't participate because of your leg disease."
No court would employ officials who can't walk.
"My father has invited a famous doctor, and he is expected to recover." Feng Yuanhao explained.
"That's good. But you haven't even passed the Tongsheng exam yet, so you need to start from the beginning.
However, there are many students of your age who haven't passed the Tongsheng exam yet. With your knowledge, it's basically no problem to pass the Tongsheng exam.
Starting from February next year, you can take the Tongsheng exam all the way to the August prefectural exam. If everything goes well, you can take the joint exam in March next year." Yuan Yinan analyzed it.
"This is what I plan. So I hope you can give me more guidance." Feng Yuanhao bowed to Yuan Yinan again.
"Okay, from now on you can come to my house after the 3:00 pm every other day, and the rest of the time you can study with Mr. Gu, he is also a good teacher."
"Yes."
When Yuan Yinan saw the books that Feng Yuanhao brought, his eyes lit up. He was reluctant to buy these books, but today they appeared in his study.
For a book lover, this is such a surprise.
"Uncle Yuan, these are bought by me as a gift to you." These books are not for studying for the imperial examinations.
There are also a few storybooks among them, which are obviously bought for Yuan Qiaolan.
"That's disrespectful."
He really couldn't resist the temptation of books.
This gift touched his heart.
The two chatted very well.
They didn't stop until Li Meixiang called for dinner.
What Feng Yuanhao learned from Yuan Yinan was different from what he learned from Gu Chi. It is true that learning requires the best of all schools.
At the dinner table, Feng Tianxing was still thinking about the stories told by Yuan Qiaolan.
The Yuan family is small, with only three masters and a nanny, and they all eat together.
Yuan Yinan also has a servant who runs errands. He is the son of the old nanny, but he has already started a family and found a house nearby.
Wang Jiang was embarrassed to go to the table.
During the meal, Feng Tianxing took Feng Yuanhao's hand under the table and quietly put a porcelain bottle in his hand.
Then he looked at Mrs. Yuan repeatedly.
