The minor disturbance that Fu Yin had stirred up in the capital gradually died down as the person involved remained secluded. Seeing that he spent his days reading or playing with Fu Bao, Shen Huaixu let him be. Having already taken the first step, each remaining step would have to be taken slowly.
Chen Huaixu took the time to study the things Qiao Man brought her. There were a few things that interested her, such as a box of pills that could make one speak the truth after taking them.
A palm-sized, chubby book designed to be open is blank. Once bound, the binder asks a question in their mind, and the answer appears on the page. Closing the book and reopening it again will cause the answer to the previous question to vanish. It's called an encyclopedia.
In addition to these two items, there was also a bottle of transparent potion. There was no description on the bottle. When asked, Fu Yin didn't recognize it. Shen Huaixu had to temporarily put it in the corner of the space to collect dust.
At the end of the eleventh year of the Jiayi reign, Tanyuan City was hit by a heavy snowfall. It snowed heavily for two days, blanketing the entire capital in a blanket of white, giving it a brand new look. After the snow melted, a light snow fell again on New Year's Eve.
Every household is busy pasting Spring Festival couplets, and the sound of stringed instruments and the smell of firecrackers can be heard everywhere.
After solving Hua Rong'er's problem, Shen Huaixu learned from Fang Cangli that many women wanted to see her for medical treatment. Most of them were commoners. Even if they had connections, they didn't dare to go to the Marquis' Mansion. They could only go to Jishitang from time to time. So she went to Jishitang for a few days.
I was busy as soon as I arrived and worked until New Year's Eve.
A light snow fell, covering the roof with a thin layer. The carriage moved slowly along the busy street. Shen Huaixu poked his head out of the carriage to get some fresh air. Fu Yin claimed to be busy today and was not in the space.
She was used to discussing the patient's condition with Fu Yin in her heart, and she felt strangely uncomfortable when she sometimes didn't hear any response these days.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the hoarse cry of a cat coming from the alley next to me.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw several children teasing a small tabby cat. The color of its fur didn't indicate whether it was dirty or clean, but one could tell from its thin and trembling body that it was ownerless.
The child was too reckless and tried to stuff the snowball into Lihua's mouth, causing the cat's cry to become weaker. Shen Huaixu frowned and asked the carriage to stop.
As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw a familiar figure holding an oil-paper umbrella appear in her sight.
It is Fuyin.
Following behind him was Ying Changming. Ying Changming was treated as a coolie by him, and he had to carry a lot of things, big and small bags.
Fu Yin seemed to have heard Lihua's voice as well. When he passed the alley, he paused slightly, turned on his toes, and entered the alley.
Shen Huaixu wanted to see how he would handle the matter, so he didn't step forward.
When several children noticed someone walking into the alley, they all stood up and looked at the person.
"It's mine." Fu Yin said lightly.
"How...how do you prove it's yours? Does it respond when you call it?" One of the children asked bravely, not wanting to give up the gadget he had just obtained.
Fu Yin, whose face was half covered by a mask, looked into his eyes and repeated, "It's mine."
Maybe it was because the voice was too cold or the mask was too strange, but after a moment the children in the alley scattered, leaving only Fu Yin and Li Hua half-lying in the snow.
Shen Huaixu: "..."
What kind of solution was this, so crude and simplistic that she couldn't quite understand it? She didn't notice Fu Yin using his mental power to suppress it, so she didn't think much about it.
Fu Yin walked forward, stretched out his hand, pinched the back of Xiao Lihua's neck, lifted it to the level of his eyes, looked at it for a moment, then turned and walked out of the alley.
Ying Changming looked at the dying little lynx that Fu Yin had been holding in his hands, and he didn't know whether he should be relieved for the lynx or worried about it again.
"Mr. Fu, this cat seems to be very cold."
Since we have saved it, we should do our best to warm it up.
Fu Yin glanced at him lightly and said, "I have eyes, I can see."
Ying Changming was choked and stopped talking.
Shen Huaixu saw Fu Yin walking straight towards her as if he knew she was standing there.
"County Lady, I have an unwelcome request."
Shen Huaixu looked at Fu Yin and forced a fake smile.
"Please speak, Master Fu."
Fu Yin brought the little cat to Chen Huaixu and said, "I don't know how to take care of the cat. Please ask the county lady to take care of it for me."
Xiaoman looked at Mr. Fu, whom she had only met once, and then looked at her own young lady.
Even though she knew Fu Yin was the Marquis's savior, she was still not very happy. This man was too rude to her young lady.
Chen Huaixu carefully took the little raccoon dog from Fu Yin's hand. It was light and its breathing was very weak.
"Put it in the carriage and warm it up first." She instructed Xiaoman.
After all, she was once a cat owner, so she should be saved if possible.
After watching Xiaoman settle Little Lihua, Shen Huaixu looked at Fu Yin again, "If Master Fu has nothing else to do..."
"Yes." Fu Yin pointed at what Ying Changming was holding, "These are my thank you gifts."
Only then did Ying Changming understand why Mr. Fu, who seemed to be out of touch with the world on weekdays, suddenly became interested and took him to buy so many things.
He was a little overwhelmed at one point when buying things. This guy would not miss out on anything delicious or fun, especially food. It would not be enough for him to eat it himself, he would also pack up another portion.
Shen Huaixu was in a strange mood. Her birthday in modern times was on New Year's Eve, but she had never celebrated this birthday again since she came here.
"Isn't that a bit... too much?"
"The County Princess's kindness is beyond measure."
Chen Huaixu suppressed his smile. This Fei Yuan was really becoming more and more like a human.
"Thank you, Master Fu."
The two said goodbye to each other and went back home.
The little tabby cat was just frozen for too long and was a little weak. After it warmed up and was fed goat milk, it gradually became more energetic.
On New Year's Eve, Chen Huaixu played Gobang with his father to stay up all night. Fuyin was the only one in his house, and it was very deserted, so he went back into the space to play with Fubao.
In the past, when Fuyin was still Futuan, Shen Huaixu would not consider whether a system was lonely, but now it was different. She noticed the loneliness around Fuyin.
Daddy knew that she and the newly arrived Fu Gongzi were old acquaintances, and that Fu Yin had removed the poisonous insect for him and had given him many gifts of thanks afterwards. That was the relationship between the two families.
It was New Year's Day, and there was no way she could bring Fu Yin into the Marquis' Mansion to celebrate together. That would be too strange.
I just wanted to fatten up the little tabby cat and send it to accompany Fuyin.
Years later, a major event occurred in the court. During this period of time, the memorials submitted by court officials requesting the establishment of a crown prince were enough to overwhelm the current emperor. After day after day of appeals, requests, and even - throwing tantrums, the matter finally came to a conclusion.
An imperial decree was issued to the people of the world, appointing Prince Yan as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and he was to enter the palace immediately and take charge of the Eastern Palace without any mistake.
When the imperial edict came out, the court officials seemed to have expected it and did not cause much commotion.
