Feng Yuheng smiled. She knew that He Zhong was reminding her that Feng Chenyu and Feng Fendai were very popular with the old lady, so she should be aware of this.
So he said, "Thank you, Steward He. It's cold in winter and I saw that Steward He has a few chilblains on his hands. Now that it's the New Year, don't spend the New Year with sores. I'll have someone send some chilblain cream later."
"Ouch!" He Zhong didn't expect that his words could exchange a prescription with Feng Yuheng. The medicine of Ji'an County Master was something that many people couldn't buy even with money. He quickly bowed to Feng Yuheng: "Thank you, Second Miss."
Feng Yuheng said nothing more and turned to leave, but at a glance, he saw three women walking in from the gate. The one in the middle was graceful, with eyebrows like emerald feathers, skin like white snow, waist like silk, and teeth like pearls. In the cold weather, she was only wearing a light blue shirt, and her icy skin and jade bones were faintly visible. The two on the side were obviously maids, but they were also outstanding in appearance and had slender waists.
As soon as the three of them entered the mansion, servants came forward to greet them with a very respectful and polite attitude, and led them all the way to the inner courtyard.
Feng Yuheng felt that there were too many surprises today, "Who is it then?"
He Zhong told her: "It's Miss Hongyun, the fourth young lady invited me back to the mansion to teach dancing."
"Oh." She nodded. "Fourth sister will be eleven after the Chinese New Year. She should learn more about girls' music, chess, calligraphy and painting. But this Miss Hongyun is so special."
He Zhong said: "She is indeed special. When she first came, the old lady almost kicked her out when she saw her attire. But what method did the fourth young lady use to convince the old lady to keep Miss Hongyun?" He Zhong shook his head as he spoke, obviously very puzzled.
Feng Yuheng didn't ask any more questions and took Huang Quan and Mei Xiang to the direction of Shuya Garden.
He stopped at a fork in the road, reached into his sleeve, took out a box of ointment from his space and handed it to Meixiang, "Go back to the Third Miss. This ointment can heal the wound on your back and relieve the pain. Find someone to apply it on you."
Meixiang was so grateful that she wanted to kowtow to Feng Yuheng, but the pain on her back made her sweat as she moved too much.
Huang Quan couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and quickly stopped the man, "Go back quickly, and when you get better, go to Tongshengxuan and kowtow to the Second Miss."
Meixiang nodded repeatedly, thanked him, and then slowly walked towards An's yard.
Feng Yuheng looked at the little girl's back as she left, and suddenly asked Huang Quan: "Does the Fifth Prince like to watch dancing?"
Huang Quan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the dancer just now, "Miss, what you mean is that Miss Four is learning to dance for His Highness the Fifth Prince to see?"
"What else?" She said as she walked towards Shuya Garden, "I know Feng Fendai's personality very well. She will not do anything without benefit. She has no talent for dancing. But if someone who has no talent and no interest in dancing suddenly wants to learn dancing, it means that dancing must be very beneficial to her. Didn't you hear what Butler He said? She somehow persuaded the old lady to agree to let the dancer enter the mansion. I think the only way to suppress the old lady is to use a prince as an excuse."
Huang Quan thought about it and felt that this made sense, so she said, "Then I'll go and ask around. Alas, we've been training soldiers in the camp for a while now, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find out anything if we were guarding His Majesty the Prince."
Feng Yuheng curled her lips, "It's my fault too. I threw the Feng family's affairs aside after entering the camp. You should go to Prince Yu's Mansion later and find out more about the Fifth Prince. Also, find out the preferences of the deceased concubine in the palace. Maybe Feng Fendai is just imitating others."
Huang Quan didn't understand what "Dong Shi Xiou Pin" meant, but he also knew that Feng Yuheng wanted to know himself and the enemy, so he nodded in agreement.
The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at Shuya Garden. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw a number of maids in the courtyard gathered around one person, talking lively.
That person was none other than Feng Chenyu, the eldest daughter of the Feng family.
Today, Feng Chenyu wore a blue winter gown with the cuffs tied up, which made her look neat and clean. She also wore a jade hairpin on her head, and two orchid-shaped bells hung from her head. They made crisp sounds when they were shaken, which was really beautiful.
Chenyu seemed to be in a good mood. She let the maids surround her and chat with her one sentence after another. In just a few words, she explained her whole life story clearly.
"The material of your dress is so fine, it looks even purer than the snow falling from the sky. It makes one unable to look away."
"Yes! And this hairpin, I am not good at seeing, and I can't tell what kind of gem it is made of, but it is obvious that it is not an ordinary thing."
"Yes, yes, the young lady's bracelet is also new. My God, there is such a green thing."
Yilin was still by Chenyu's side. She felt proud to hear the maids praising her master, so she took the initiative to answer for Chenyu: "These were all sent by the eldest prince. They were just delivered to the mansion this morning. He also specifically told the young lady not to keep them. Wear them as soon as you get them. There will be better ones sent during the New Year."
Chenyu blushed and scolded Yilin: "You are the only one who talks too much."
The maids were full of envy, and one of them said quickly, "The eldest prince is much more generous than the fifth prince. The things the fifth prince gave were just small things. They looked good, but compared to what the eldest lady got, they are far inferior."
Chenyu's face was filled with endless smiles, but she still said, "You must not say that. The gifts sent by the two princes are all good, and it is hard to tell which is better."
The maid knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she lowered her head and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Chen Yu said, "I am doing this for your own good. It's fine if you say it in front of me today, but if others hear it, it will cause trouble again."
The girl replied gratefully: "Thank you for your advice, Miss."
"Well. It's good that you are sensible." Chenyu smiled, and made the maids dizzy.
Feng Yuheng only found the scene in front of her funny. Feng Chenyu was born extremely beautiful, and after having sex, she looked even more charming. Now with this outfit, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was stunning. She had to admit that Feng Chenyu was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, no matter in her past life or this life. Even those movie stars who had plastic surgery in her past life did not have a face like hers.
It’s just a pity that she has a stunning face but a poisonous heart.
She stepped forward and said loudly, "Big sister, long time no see."
The sound frightened Chen Yu. She turned her head hastily and saw Feng Yuheng walking towards her with a smile. Her heart beat violently a few times as a conditioned reflex, and her face changed a little.
But he finally calmed down, put on his usual friendly face and walked a few steps forward to greet her, saying warmly: "When did Second Sister come back? Why didn't you send someone to tell us in advance so that we could pick you up at the gate of the mansion."
Feng Yuheng smiled and shook her head, "Big sister is too polite. We are all family, so why should we follow all those rules? After not seeing you for a long time, Big sister seems to have recovered to her former peak state. This is really cause for celebration."
Feng Chenyu knew there was something else behind her words, but she pretended not to understand, and just thought she was praising herself, "I haven't been feeling well recently, thank you for your concern. Second sister, are you here to pay your respects to grandma? I just got here too, and when I heard that fourth sister was in there, I didn't rush in. It's a good thing that you're here, let's go together."
"Okay." Feng Yuheng nodded and walked into the old lady's hall with Chenyu.
At this time, Feng Fendai was sitting next to the old lady, drinking tea and saying, "The Fifth Prince said that the New Year is coming soon, and the people in the mansion need to be taken care of, so he sent some silver notes over. Five thousand taels were specifically for my granddaughter, so I kept them. The remaining ten thousand taels will be given to my grandmother as a token of my granddaughter's love."
Nanny Zhao handed the silver notes she had just received to the old lady. There were ten notes worth one thousand taels each, and the old lady was very happy to see them.
"You have all grown up and know how to respect your grandmother. This is good, and it will pay off your grandmother's love for you since you were little."
Fendai said with a smile: "Grandma is always thinking about you. Didn't the Fifth Prince send some cloth a few days ago? I was reluctant to use it myself, so I sent someone to make winter clothes for the old lady. I think it will be ready in a few days. I hope you won't mind it when the time comes."
The smile in the old lady's eyes became even brighter. "Don't despise it, don't despise it. The things sent by the Fifth Prince are all excellent. Why would Grandma despise them? As for you, don't just send all the good things to Grandma. You should keep some for yourself as well."
"Yes." Fendai responded with a sweet smile and took another sip of tea.
The old lady felt happy whenever she looked at Fendai. She used to dislike this granddaughter, especially the troubles she made in front of the Ninth Prince, which was even more annoying.
But now that I think about it, it was only because Fen Dai was still young and didn't know much. Now that she's older and engaged, isn't she becoming more and more popular day by day?
Feng Yuheng and Chenyu just walked to the door at this time. Chenyu gently pulled Feng Yuheng's sleeve and whispered, "Grandmother originally disapproved of Fourth Sister's marriage. But as Fourth Sister sent the good things sent by the Fifth Prince to Shuya Garden one by one, the old lady's attitude gradually changed."
Before she could say anything more, the two of them had already entered the hall. Feng Chenyu took a few quick steps and bowed before Feng Yuheng to the old lady: "Granddaughter greets grandmother."
Feng Yuheng did not fight with her, but knelt down behind Chenyu and bowed - "Ah Heng has been outside the city for more than a month. I returned home today and came to pay my respects to my grandmother."
The old lady was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Feng Yuheng to come back so suddenly, which caught her off guard. She couldn't help but glare at Madam Zhao and scolded, "Why didn't you inform us in advance when the second young lady came back?"
Zhao Ma Ma hurriedly said, "It's my fault." But she was thinking, why didn't anyone from the gate come to report it? Little did she know that the gatekeepers were being tortured to death by Han, so they had no time to care about this matter.
Feng Yuheng said, "Ah Heng is not a guest, so why should I inform you? Grandmother, are you feeling well?"
The old lady smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I'm not a guest. I'm fine, thank you for your concern. Please get up and take a seat." Her words were indeed much more unfamiliar than before.
Feng Yuheng didn't bother with it and sat down at the head of the row of chairs opposite Feng Fendai.
The old lady had already turned her attention to Chen Yu, and she was amazed at how beautiful Chen Yu looked in her outfit today. This granddaughter was really beautiful, and even though she had seen her since she was a child, she was still always amazed by Chen Yu.
"Is your dress new?" The old lady asked about the dress, but her eyes were fixed on the hairpin on her head. She had lived for most of her life, but still could not recognize what material it was made of.
Feng Yuheng took a look and said casually, "I think it should be Amazonite, a very rare thing, and its value is higher than that of glass."
As soon as these words came out, Fendai's gaze immediately turned cold... [End of this chapter]
