The old lady's behavior puzzled Kang Yi and Ru Jia, and even the people in Feng Mansion were puzzled. [ads: This site has a new URL, shorthand method: ,..]》し
A Guanghan silk handkerchief! Even if it was just a handkerchief, it was worth a fortune. But why did the old lady look dissatisfied, even a little...disdainful?
How could they know that just this morning, Feng Yuheng personally gave her a coat made of Guanghan silk. How many handkerchiefs could be cut from the cloth of a coat? Moreover, the old lady had heard that the emperor had given two pieces of Guanghan silk to Princess Rujia yesterday, so why did he only give her a handkerchief?
Of course, the old lady didn't show her displeasure too obviously. After a moment, she calmed down again. But her smile was not as full as before. She said to them calmly, "You are a distinguished guest. Why are you still standing? Please take a seat."
Kang Yi sat down somewhat awkwardly, feeling even more confused.
Let alone giving this Guanghan silk handkerchief to an old lady of a first-rank official's family, even if she took it to the palace to give it to the concubines, she would have made them happy and treated her as a distinguished guest. How come Guanghan silk has no effect at all in the Feng Mansion? Since the palace banquet yesterday, the second and third young ladies of the Feng family have treated this Guanghan silk handkerchief as an ordinary handkerchief, without any surprise at all. She thought that the children did not understand the preciousness of this thing, but today's behavior of Old Lady Feng made her think more.
However, no matter how much she thought about it, she still couldn't figure out the reason. But there were kind people who were willing to remind her, such as Feng Yuheng: "Please don't be surprised, Princess. Everyone knows how precious Guanghan silk is. Maybe it's because Ah Heng gave Grandmother a coat made of Guanghan silk, so Grandmother was not a little surprised by this handkerchief."
Kang Yi was slightly stunned. A coat made of Guanghan silk? How much material would that require? Was it just given to the old lady?
Ru Jia asked her doubts: "The Princess of Ji'an is really generous. Do you know how much a coat made of Guanghan silk is worth?"
Feng Yuheng smiled faintly and said, "Of course I know this, but no matter how much it is worth, in Ah Heng's heart, it is not as important as my filial piety to my grandmother. As long as my grandmother likes it, Ah Heng will be willing to give it away no matter how expensive it is."
Even Kang Yi was embarrassed by what she said, but he still said: "I think the county lady has used all the materials she could get. The old lady is lucky to have such a good granddaughter."
The old lady nodded repeatedly, "That's right, my granddaughter is the most sensible and filial."
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "Grandma, you are too kind." Then she looked at Na Rujia, as if she was chatting with her, "I have never been to Qianzhou. I heard that it is covered with ice and snow all year round. Is it extremely cold?"
Ru Jia nodded and said loudly, "That's right! Compared to our Qianzhou, your capital of Dashun is much warmer. I heard that a legless winter is considered a disaster here. Tsk tsk, I can't imagine it. If you go to Qianzhou, you will freeze to death."
"Rujia, speak properly." Kang Yi reminded her helplessly, "Girls, you should speak in a reserved and dignified manner. Look at what you look like!"
Feng Jinyuan finally had a chance to interrupt and said, "It's okay. Princess Rujia has a cheerful temperament and is most like a girl from the Northern Country."
Ru Jia said to Feng Jinyuan with a smile: "Prince Feng treats Ru Jia the best."
But Feng Yuheng asked again: "Is Qianzhou that cold? But it sounds like a very beautiful place. I heard that there is a kind of fox in the North Country that is completely black and big in size. It is extremely precious. Is it true?"
Ru Jia was very interested in this and quickly said, "Of course there is! This year my uncle hunted one and gave it to me. I brought it to Dashun and planned to find a good tailor here to make a cloak for it."
"Oh." Feng Yuheng nodded, "A cloak made of black fox fur is truly priceless."
As soon as she said this, Kang Yi immediately understood what she meant. He couldn't help but be secretly shocked, thinking that the Princess Ji'an, at such a young age, had such a delicate mind.
She quickly said, "Rujia, don't talk nonsense. How can you make a cape out of such a precious thing? Didn't I tell you when I came to Feng Mansion just now that it was prepared to be made into a cloak for Old Madam Feng? Did you bring it with you?"
Ru Jia was stunned. She had never expected her mother to bring up this. It was clearly her own thing! The little girl pouted and was about to roll her eyes, but she saw her mother winking at her. She couldn't help but sigh, knowing that it was time for her to cooperate with her mother again. So she nodded and said, "My daughter was just playing with the county lady. That fox fur is very big, and Ru Jia's small body can't support it. Of course, it's a gift for Old Madam Feng. But I was in a hurry to leave today and forgot to bring it."
Kang Yi heaved a sigh of relief, but shook his head helplessly, saying, "You! You're just messing around." Then he ordered his servants, "Hurry back to the posthouse to get it."
The servant bowed and left in a hurry.
Kang Yi then said to the old lady: "It's all because of my daughter's ignorance. Please don't be offended, old lady."
The old lady heard that she had received another treasure, so she was not surprised at all. She immediately smiled again, "Don't be surprised, it's normal for children to love to play and make trouble." As she spoke, she glanced at Feng Yuheng and gave him a grateful look. The old lady had lived for most of her life, so she naturally understood that this gift was something Feng Yuheng asked for, otherwise the princess of Qian Zhou would have sent her away with a handkerchief.
Kang Yi smiled gratefully at the old lady, then turned to look at An, Han and Jin Zhen and asked, "Are you the family members of Lord Feng?"
The three of them quickly stood up and knelt down, and An spoke first: "We are the master's concubines. We are very honored to be mentioned by the princess."
Kang Yi knew that her status meant she shouldn't show them anything, but she still had to say what she had to say: "I sent handkerchiefs to Lady Ji'an and the Third Miss yesterday, and I sent one to the Fourth Miss this morning. I just don't know where the eldest Miss in this mansion is now?" She couldn't help but turn to look at Feng Jinyuan: "Why don't you see the eldest Miss? I have another handkerchief for her."
Feng Jinyuan was already a little embarrassed because of the Mohu incident. When Kang Yi asked about Chenyu again, he waved his hands and said, "My eldest daughter is not in good health and has been recuperating in the small courtyard. Princess, you don't have to be polite. It would be a waste to give her such a valuable thing. Why not give it to Princess Rujia for her to enjoy."
Ru Jia understood now and shook her head and said, "It's not difficult for Ru Jia to get a Guanghan silk handkerchief. This one is really for the eldest lady of the mansion."
Seeing Feng Jinyuan was in a dilemma, An took the initiative to speak: "To be honest with you, Princess, the young lady is injured and it is not suitable for her to meet guests. I hope the princess will forgive me. As for this handkerchief, you can let the old lady keep it for you and give it to the young lady when she is better."
Kang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble the old lady to pass it on to me!" After saying that, he was about to hand the last handkerchief to the old lady, but at this moment, a noisy sound came from outside the door.
Feng Jinyuan's face was not very good, and he whispered to the servants around him: "Why are you making trouble again? Don't you see what day it is? Go out and take a look!"
Before anyone could go out to see, they saw a man stumbling in from the door of the hall, followed by a maid.
Feng Jinyuan immediately became angry and shouted, "Who let her out?"
A group of servants who were trying to stop her knelt down on the ground, and a maid said, "Master, we can't stop her! The eldest lady is holding a pair of scissors and said she will stab her in the neck if you don't let her out."
The person who came was Feng Chenyu. Although she had dressed up, the scar on her forehead could not be hidden, and it looked shocking.
Ru Jia was stunned and said, "You are the eldest daughter of the Feng family? No! I have heard that the eldest daughter of the Feng family is the most beautiful woman in the capital, and some even say that she is the most beautiful woman in Dashun. You..." She looked carefully. Although her facial features were still beautiful, she was still beautiful because there was a piece of flesh missing from her head. Ru Jia felt sick when she saw it. "How can she be called the most beautiful woman? It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the ugliest woman."
Feng Jinyuan said quickly, "Did you scare the princess? My little girl was injured a few days ago, so it's inevitable that she looks a little ferocious. I'll have someone send her back and take good care of her. Please forgive me, little princess." Then he said to the servants, "Take her away quickly!"
But since Chenyu was here, how could she leave so easily? She hugged Feng Jinyuan's robe and cried, "Father, don't you want Chenyu anymore? Today is only the second day of the Chinese New Year, why don't you let Chenyu out? Chenyu wants to celebrate the New Year with father and be with grandma to show filial piety. Father, please don't be angry with Chenyu, okay? Chenyu knows she was wrong, and she will never dare to do it again!"
Feng Jinyuan tried to pull back the corner of his clothes several times but failed. He couldn't help but get even angrier. He was about to rage again, but he saw Princess Kang Yi coming forward again, half-crouching in front of Chen Yu, and said softly, "Your name is Chen Yu?"
Chen Yu was stunned. She realized that there was a stranger in her house. She didn't know how to answer for a moment. She just nodded blankly, thought for a while, and asked back: "Who are you?"
Kang Yi did not answer, but raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat on her forehead due to her struggle with a handkerchief, and then stuffed the handkerchief into Chen Yu's hand, "I am the eldest princess visiting from Qianzhou Kingdom. This is a handkerchief made of Guanghan silk, for you."
"This..." Chenyu was a little stunned. She never expected that such a person would come to her house.
The old lady saw that Chenyu was really unreasonable, but it was difficult to force her to go back now. She had no choice but to step back and said, "Since you are here, stay. We will have dinner together later. Hurry up and help the young lady up. Why are you crying so hard on New Year's Day?"
As soon as Feng Chenyu heard that she could stay, she stopped worrying about the princess's matter and stood up unsteadily with the help of the servants. Even Xing'er, who had barged in with her, stood up. The two of them walked to their seats tremblingly, and from time to time they had to observe whether Feng Jinyuan was angry.
Kang Yi returned to his seat after Chenyu sat down, and then carefully observed Chenyu for a while, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "She is really stunningly beautiful! Is the mole on the left side of Miss Feng's jaw a birthmark she was born with?"
Chenyu didn't expect her to ask this question. She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her chin, then nodded, "Yes, I have had it since I was born."
Kang Yi's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this, and he looked at Chen Yu with an even more surprised expression -
