Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu came over with a bowl. Zhang Chong smiled flatteringly, "Miss Feng, what are you drinking? Can you give us some too?"
Feng Jiuyan said to the two of them with a half-smile, "Can I say no?"
Zhang Chong smiled brilliantly, "Hey, of course not."
Then, he picked up the spoon from the pot, served himself a bowl, and started drinking.
Zhang Xiaowu: ??? I am your leader.
Helpless, Zhang Xiaowu had to scoop a bowl for himself.
Zhang Chong held the bowl and squatted beside Feng Jiuyan, drinking as he said, "Miss Feng, you are so mean. You didn't even invite us when you had something good. At least we have a common enemy. How come this friendship has capsized so easily!"
Feng Jiuyan rolled his eyes, "Bah, who wants to be friends with you? Stop flattering yourself! Hurry up and leave, lest Meng Liang sees us together and comes to pick a fight with me again!"
Zhang Chong: ...Others are trying to get close to us and establish a good relationship with us, why doesn’t this girl try to please me?
Zhang Xiaowu took the bowl and left immediately.
A man who takes favors from others is grateful for what he has received.
Go away quickly, you can come back for food next time!
After sending the two away, Feng Jiuyan lowered his head and drank the already cooled honeysuckle in the bowl in one gulp. After wiping the corners of his mouth, a pair of black boots came into view.
Feng Jiuyan looked up and saw that it was a young man.
His black hair was tied with a green ribbon, and he was dressed in green coarse cloth. There was a scholarly air between his brows, and his back was straight, neither humble nor arrogant.
Feng Jiuyan instantly thought of pine and cypress. The man in front of her gave her a sense of might and unyieldingness, just like pine and cypress, aloof and noble.
The young man clasped his hands together and smiled shyly, "Miss, I am Song Chen. Can you give me a bowl of soup? My sister has not eaten for a long time and has traveled such a long way. She has some signs of heat stroke."
Feng Jiuyan followed Song Chen's gaze and saw a pale, thin girl leaning against a big tree with her eyes closed.
Feng Jiuyan felt that this girl looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
Song Chen was a little worried when he saw Feng Jiu remained silent. If his sister didn't drink some soup to cool down, she might really get a heat stroke.
He pursed his lips, looked at Feng Jiuyan sincerely, and whispered, "Miss, my sister was kidnapped last night and disappeared. She was brought back by Lord Meng the next day. She had nothing to eat all night. I'm worried that if she gets heatstroke again, she might not be able to hold on. Please save her, Miss."
I will never forget your kindness. If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."
After being reminded by Song Chen, Feng Jiuyan remembered that the girl was Song Ning. She was the girl who provided her with clues in the brothel, allowing her to find the kidnapped children faster.
She should have been given a bowl of soup to relieve the heat, after all, each of the other people she rescued was given eight taels of silver.
Feng Jiuyan nodded and smiled, "Of course."
At this time, Feng Jiuyan might not know that with just a word, a smile, and a bowl of ordinary summer-cooling soup, he had attracted a man who could be a big shot in the officialdom.
Of course, this is a later story, so let’s not talk about it for now.
When Song Chen heard these words, he felt like he had seen the dawn of life. He kept bowing to thank Feng Jiuyan.
Looking at the girl sitting under the big tree, whose face was as pale as snow and seemed lifeless, Feng Jiuyan simply took out a water bag from her "bag", in which she had already filled a few drops of spiritual spring water.
Then, he used a spoon to fill the water bag with honeysuckle water. The effect of the diluted spiritual spring water would be greatly reduced, but it was still enough to replenish Song Ning's energy.
She was afraid that if she drank too much and the effect appeared immediately, it would arouse suspicion.
After thinking for a while, Feng Jiuyan took out a few cold and hard white buns from his "bag" and handed them to Song Chen.
Song Chen quickly declined, "Miss, I don't deserve this. You've already been very kind to me by giving me this pot of water. How can I ask for your food?"
Feng Jiuyan did not allow for doubt and stuffed the steamed bun and water bag in her hand to him, "Take it. We can't eat hard steamed buns, and it would be a waste to keep them. If they go bad, we can just throw them away. Just take it."
Madam Feng also persuaded, "Yes, Mr. Song, the three of us have bad teeth and can't eat anything hard."
Feng Jiuli also agreed, "Yeah, bad teeth!"
Song Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart, he knew they were lying.
This is a white flour steamed bun. Even though it is a little cold and hard, it is a thousand times better than the black coarse grain steamed buns distributed by the officials.
Even though the steamed bread tasted so bad, he had seen Madam Feng and her two children eating it. When those pampered nobles despised it, they were the only ones who didn't despise the steamed bread because it made their throats ache, just like the common people like them.
At this moment, Song Chen swore in his heart that if Feng Jiuyan and her two sons needed him, he would do his best even if he had to go through fire and water.
"In that case, I would like to thank my wife and her family. If you need me in the future, please let me know."
"Yeah, okay." Feng Jiuyan nodded.
She did not take Song Chen's words seriously, nor did she expect him to repay her kindness, so she forgot about it.
Feng Zirou looked at Feng Jiuyan hatefully, humph, pretending to be generous, acting hypocritical, a white lotus!
They are relatives, and they have never seen the little bitch be so generous!
But he is so generous to outsiders. Why is he pretending?
Madam Feng San, who was beside her, also scolded Feng Jiuyan angrily.
