Chapter 78 Active Matchmaking
Feng Tianxing ran over immediately and hugged the man's arm when she saw him.
[Sister Yuan!]
It was Yuan Qiaolan who loved reading.
With a little maid sent by the Feng Mansion, she didn't have to be so busy. Whenever she had time and was in good health, she would go out to the bookstore to read.
The bookstore owner was used to it and didn't have any objections. This was the daughter of Lord Yuan, the Jingzhao Yin. Lord Yuan had a good reputation as an official. He also knew that his family had no money to buy books.
"Sister Tianxing? It's so cold, why are you out?"
Feng Tianxing pointed at Feng Yuanhao who was still standing at the door.
Feng Yuanhao walked over a few steps and sat down at the table. There was a charcoal basin under the table, which was very warm.
The two looked at each other, and Feng Yuanhao smiled softly. At the same time, her eyes were bright.
Yuan Qiaolan looked at each other for a few moments and then looked away, picked up Feng Tianxing and sat her on her lap.
Her bloodless face was also covered with a faint red cloud, and this scene happened to be seen by Yun Zhirou who came in.
She was an experienced person and could see the interaction between the two at a glance.
She felt that she had discovered a new continent.
But when she thought of Miss Yuan's body, she shook her head again.
"What a coincidence, Miss Yuan is also here. Prince Feng, we meet again after just parting." Yun Zhirou took the initiative to step forward and greet.
Several people greeted each other again.
"Miss Yuan, how is your mother recently?" Yun Zhirou asked with a smile and concern.
"My mother is fine, thank you for your concern, princess." Yuan Qiaolan had no contact with this fifth princess, but she came to her house once not long ago and chatted with her mother for a long time.
She was not present at the time, as she was preparing food with Yue Niang.
"You guys chat, I'll pick out some books." Yun Zhirou didn't bother them and went to pick out books by herself.
Soon she picked out a few books, paid the bill, and came back.
"Miss Yuan, these books are new storybooks. I heard they are well written and women love to read. I'm giving them to you. Go back and read them to your mother. They are good for the baby in your belly. I heard from my mother." Yun Zhirou smiled sincerely.
It was obvious that she was giving them away sincerely.
"Thank you, Fifth Princess, for the gift." Yuan Qiaolan took it, bowed, and thanked her.
If the princess wants to give someone something, you must accept it, otherwise it would be impolite.
Yun Zhirou took a few other books and left.
Feng Yuanhao, after listening to what the Fifth Princess had just said, also picked out a few books that women loved to read and asked Yuan Qiaolan to take them back.
Yun Zhirou, who returned to the mansion, was still thinking about today's "chance encounter" and whether she had done anything wrong.
Liu Shu, the maid serving beside her, brought tea and put it away.
"Princess, why did you do this today?" As a personal maid, Liu Shu knew a lot about her master, but some of her master's behavior today made her confused.
"No reason. Just do your own thing." She didn't want the maid to know.
Yun Zhirou fell into thinking again.
Today, it was obvious that Prince Feng and Miss Yuan fell in love. Prince Feng was going to inherit the family business. Didn't he know that the girl from the Yuan family should not be married?
No, he must know, and if he knew it, he would have feelings for her, then...
Yun Zhirou's eyes lit up.
The Feng family can be cured, so he is so bold, I don't know if his parents know.
If this is true, she can be a good person.
"Haha..." Yun Zhirou suddenly laughed.
Liu Shu was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask because he had just been reminded.
Two days later.
On this day, Song Shuqing received a visiting card from the fifth princess.
Song Shuqing couldn't figure out why the fifth princess wanted to come to the Feng family, but the princess coming in person was already a supreme honor, and she couldn't refuse.
Usually, if a princess wanted to see someone, she would just send a note to invite the person to her house, but the fifth princess did the other way around, which shows her sincerity.
Song Shuqing replied to the note in time.
Another day later, Yun Zhirou came to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion with two maids.
Song Shuqing personally went out of the gate to greet her and took her to the main hall of the inner courtyard.
After the greeting, Yun Zhirou waved to Feng Tianxing.
Feng Tianxing "likes" anyone who is nice to her, showing the characteristics of a child just right.
So he staggered to Yun Zhirou.
Then he was picked up.
"Little Tianxing, auntie likes you very much. Your round little face is so festive. If you were my daughter, I would spoil you to the sky."
Yun Zhirou was very friendly and enthusiastic. She didn't have the airs of a princess at all and always used "I" when she spoke.
"It's a blessing for a child to be liked by the princess." Song Shuqing said with a smile.
"Tianxing is naturally lovable. I'm not the only one who likes her." Yun Zhirou held Feng Tianxing and sat on the chair directly.
The maid served tea and stepped aside.
"Madam Hou, my mother was seriously ill before, and it was the Queen's sister-in-law who took out ginseng to save her, but I know that the greatest credit goes to the Hou Mansion.
If the Hou Mansion hadn't given ginseng to the Queen's sister-in-law, my mother would probably have passed away. Thank you very much."
At this point, Yun Zhirou blinked hard and suppressed her tears.
"You're too polite, Fifth Princess." Song Shuqing said politely.
The two of them didn't have much friendship at ordinary times, and they could only say that they were on good terms.
In the past three years, because of her two sons, Song Shuqing seldom went out to socialize. She seldom interacted with many noble ladies in the capital, and at most she would go back to her parents' home for
a visit. Then she would only show up at some banquets that she had to attend, and most of the time it was Ruan Ruoying who took Feng Ruyue out to socialize.
"I heard that Prince Feng's leg is almost healed, which is really cause for celebration."
"Well, in the past six months, with the acupuncture treatment given by Doctor Zhou, and his diligent practice, he can now get out of the wheelchair."
"Madam, Prince Feng is almost 18 years old, right? Has he found a marriage?" Yun Zhirou brought up the topic of why she was here today.
After hearing this, Song Shuqing immediately understood the purpose of the Fifth Princess' visit today.
"Not yet." Song Shuqing was a little melancholy.
Since she got the instructions from the concubine, she wanted to go directly to the Yuan family to propose marriage, but the eldest son stopped her, saying that he wanted to get Miss Yuan's approval before proposing marriage.
It's like boiling a frog in warm water, and no one knows how long it will take.
"Madam, it's a coincidence. A few days ago, I happened to meet Prince Feng and his sister in a bookstore. They were choosing books with Miss Yuan from Jingzhao Yin's family. Don't blame me for having a sharp eye..." Yun Zhirou suddenly stopped here and glanced at the servants serving in the hall.
Song Shuqing understood at a glance, waved her hand, and the two maids withdrew.
"I clearly saw the two of them interacting, both with red faces.
I thought about it for two days after I went back, and I guess it would be difficult for the two young people to tell their families.
Because Miss Yuan's health is well known, but I also thought that Doctor Zhou was able to cure Prince Feng's legs, so Miss Yuan's illness should not be a problem, but what the Yuan family lacks is money.
If the Feng family takes her home and treats her, such a good daughter-in-law would be hard to find even with a lantern, so I came here today to promote this matter, what do you think?"
After saying this, Yun Zhirou looked at Song Shuqing eagerly, waiting for her answer.
"This..." Song Shuqing didn't know how to respond.
She originally planned to ask her eldest sister Feng Ruxue to come forward, but now the fifth princess brought it up first.
If the Feng family and the Yuan family become relatives in the future, and if they don't agree today, wouldn't that be embarrassing for Princess Bo?
