Such an unexpected event not only puzzled Feng Jinyuan, but also caught Feng Yuheng by surprise.
The Feng family was holding a funeral, but someone sent a wedding gift. Her first reaction was: Could someone be deliberately causing trouble?
Several people got off the imperial carriage. Wang Chuan looked at the servants who were still moving things out of the carriage for a while, and said to Feng Yuheng, "It seems to be someone from Prince Jing's Mansion."
"Prince Jing's Mansion?" Feng Yuheng was puzzled. What on earth was wrong with the eldest prince in the middle of the night?
Just as he was thinking about it, the concierge of Feng Mansion ran over here, and saw Feng Jinyuan at a glance, and couldn't help but shouted: "Master! You are finally back!"
Feng Jinyuan was stunned when he saw the doorman. What was he doing? He had a white cloth tied around his waist and his head, and his face was full of sorrow. He looked completely lifeless.
He raised his head and glanced at the gate of the mansion again, and saw that the gate was also wrapped in white cloth, with a spirit banner hanging on it. It was clearly... a funeral.
Feng Jinyuan's mind exploded with a buzzing sound, but when he looked at the wedding gifts at the door, his doubts reached their peak. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw that those who came to deliver the wedding gifts had surrounded Feng Yuheng. One of the people who looked like a manager said to Feng Yuheng: "County Master, we have been waiting for you here for a long time. You are finally back."
The man spoke in a sharp voice, sounding as if he was pinching his throat. Feng Jinyuan was stunned, and immediately realized that this man was a eunuch. Looking more closely, isn't this the chief steward of Prince Jing's mansion?
He quickly bowed and said, "It turns out that it is Chief Steward Liu who has arrived. Is there anything that requires you to visit at this hour?"
Eunuch Liu didn't even look at Feng Jinyuan, as if he didn't hear what he said. He just nodded and bowed to Feng Yuheng and said, "I wanted to send it to the county lady's mansion, but I heard that you didn't come back, so I thought of waiting outside."
Feng Yuheng wanted to laugh when he heard this. If you want to wait, go to the county lady's mansion and wait. Why are you running to the Feng Mansion? You clearly saw that there was a funeral at the mansion, but you were carrying a big red silk at the door. Isn't this intentional to cause trouble for the Feng family?
But whether to block the blockage or not was the Feng family's business, and had nothing to do with her. Especially seeing Feng Jinyuan's defeated look was quite satisfying. So she smiled and asked the eunuch, "Brother, why did you send these things to this county lady?"
The eunuch's face was filled with joy, and he almost jumped up with joy - "County Lady! Our concubine is pregnant!"
"Really?" Feng Yuheng also became happy. She had cured Xuan Tianqi's illness after returning from the camp. She had been waiting for this good news for a long time. Now that she heard that the concubine was pregnant, she was really happy for the eldest prince from the bottom of her heart.
Eunuch Liu nodded vigorously, his face full of smiles: "Really! It's all true! Not only is the concubine pregnant, but the two new concubines are also pregnant. The prince is so happy that he can't sleep. He urged the servants to pick up the best things in the storehouse and load them onto the car to send to you, the county lady!"
This good news made Huang Quan Wang Chuan happy as well. Feng Yu Heng looked at the things on the ground and said with a smile: "Since it is big brother's intention, I will not refuse. It is too late today. I will take some time to go to the mansion tomorrow and personally check the pulse of the three nobles who are happy."
It was a great honor for Feng Yuheng to come to his house in person to diagnose his pulse. Eunuch Liu knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Yuheng on the spot. Wang Chuan quickly helped him up. Feng Yuheng then instructed Huang Quan: "Tell someone to move all the things to the county lady's mansion."
Huang Quan waved his hand, and several imperial guards from the gate of the county lady's mansion ran over and quickly carried all the gifts back to the mansion.
Feng Jinyuan watched as the things that had been placed in front of the Feng Mansion were moved to Tongshengxuan again. He felt so distressed. If it wasn't for someone specifying that it was for Feng Yuheng, he really wanted to snatch the things away. Especially since this eunuch Liu said that the cart was loaded with the best items in the mansion's warehouse. What does the best item in the Jingwang Mansion mean? Among the nine princes of the dynasty, only the eldest prince chose the path of business, and he was also very successful. Everyone knows that the eldest prince is the richest among all the princes. Even if he casually sells something in his mansion, it is a treasure in the world. The treasure selected from the treasures... Feng Jinyuan's eyes turned red with envy. What a good thing it must be!
Unfortunately, he was destined to be a passing god of wealth in this life. He even suspected that the eunuch Liu did it on purpose, deliberately placing these things at the gate of Feng Mansion to make him jealous, and then taking them away to make him angry.
He was really angry, and kept silent. The concierge who was standing next to him and ready to speak several times was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He really couldn't understand why his master was so calm when the old lady passed away. Could it be that the second young lady hadn't told him yet?
Finally, Feng Jinyuan was forced to remain silent. The doorman was just about to tell Feng Jinyuan about what was happening in the mansion. Who would have thought that as soon as he opened his mouth and before he could make a sound, he saw several more carriages coming from the other end of the alley, also heading towards the Feng Mansion.
The concierge gradually realized it, because he saw that although the carriages were not decorated in a fancy way, they were definitely not plain. They were elegant and luxurious, and it was obvious that the owners were of extraordinary status.
Feng Jinyuan and Feng Yuheng also noticed the movement over there, and looked over together. At this time, they heard the eunuch Liu from the Jingwang Mansion say, "Oh! The thank-you gift from the Concubine Xian has arrived!" He said to Feng Yuheng cheerfully, "While I was still in the warehouse picking things for you, the county lady, His Highness sent someone to the palace to announce the good news."
Feng Yuheng smiled. She knew that as the eldest prince, after being infertile for many years, he finally had his own child at this age, and both a concubine and two concubines were pregnant. This was the best gift for Concubine Xian. It was reasonable for him to thank her out of joy.
There were four carriages sent out by Concubine Xian from the palace, each of which was fully loaded. The maid who came out of the palace was so friendly when she saw Feng Yuheng, her mouth was almost grinning to her ears, and her smile was definitely from the heart. When they saw that Eunuch Liu was also there, the two of them praised Feng Yuheng together.
Feng Jinyuan finally understood everything by now. It turned out that the eldest prince, who had been childless for many years, was cured by Feng Yuheng. This was a great achievement!
He tried to interrupt several times, but he couldn't. A maid in charge and a eunuch in charge, no one took him seriously and didn't even look at him. Feng Jinyuan was so depressed that he wanted to curse, but he couldn't afford to curse any of the people who made him angry, and he didn't dare to curse any of them.
Seeing the imperial guards from Tongshengxuan coming in batches and carrying good things into the mansion, Feng Jinyuan's eyes were about to pop out. But the maid from the palace was still saying to Feng Yuheng: "As soon as the good news from Prince Jing's Mansion arrived, the Concubine Xian quickly informed the Emperor and the Empress. Now the Emperor is also very happy. I think he will send a reward to the county lady tomorrow!"
Feng Yuheng quickly replied, "Your Majesty is so polite. Ah Heng is a doctor, and his medical skills are meant to benefit the people of the world. I can also call His Royal Highness Prince Jing my elder brother. It is Ah Heng's responsibility to treat your illness and to help the virtuous concubine live apart. Please ask Aunt to thank the queen on Ah Heng's behalf after returning to the palace. Ah Heng will personally go to the palace tomorrow to thank the queen."
"You are too polite, my lady." The maid smiled and kept saying nice things to Feng Yuheng. The imperial guards kept moving things into the mansion, and it took more than half an hour. After they finished moving, the maid asked, "My lady, please look back and see if there is anything else you want. The queen said that the eldest prince is always out and about, and he can get any good things. If you want anything, just tell him. Even if you want the moon in the sky, let the eldest prince pick it for you."
Feng Yuheng burst out laughing, "Aunt, you're joking. Ah Heng is already terrified after getting these good things. How can he want anything else? That's enough, more than enough."
As soon as she said enough, Feng Jinyuan secretly thought it was a pity. He finally got the chance to interrupt her, so he quickly said, "You two have arrived at the gate of the mansion, come in and have a cup of tea!" While saying this, he said to Feng Yuheng, "Ah Heng, why don't you invite the guests in? How can you treat guests like this?"
The doorman standing nearby was overwhelmed when he heard this. He quickly tugged at Feng Jinyuan's sleeve and whispered, "Master, it's getting late. It's really not convenient."
Feng Jinyuan waved his hand and said, "Hey! Why is it inconvenient? Inviting guests to the main hall of the Peony Garden will not disturb the old lady's rest." After that, he said to the palace maid and eunuch, "Ah Heng is my daughter. Inviting the two of you into the mansion for a cup of tea is what I should do."
He said it as a matter of course. He had long forgotten about the servants wearing mourning bands and the spirit banners at the gate of the mansion. At this moment, he was thinking that as long as he could serve these two people to their satisfaction, he could go back and tell his master. Whether it was the Concubine Xian or the Grand Prince, considering that he was Feng Yuheng's father, some benefits would be inevitable. The one million taels of silver owed to Feng Yuheng might be earned back in one go, and then he could use the silver to exchange for the land deed, and he wouldn't have to go to jail again.
Thinking of this, he became more determined to invite the guests into the mansion. He even reached out his hand to pull the two of them, "Come in and sit down! Although it is late, the Feng family has always been hospitable. The old lady knows that two distinguished guests have arrived, and she will definitely stand up to greet you." These words almost scared the palace maid and the eunuch to death.
Huang Quan Wang Chuan was grinning when he heard this, and the doorman looked even more miserable. He really had no other choice but to ask Feng Yu Heng, "Second Miss, please help me! Don't let the master...talk nonsense again!"
"How dare you!" Feng Jinyuan was annoyed, "You bold servant, who are you saying is talking nonsense?"
The servant fell to his knees with a plop, tears streaming down his face. Eunuch Liu from Prince Jing's mansion looked at Feng Jinyuan with an extremely incredible gaze, as if he were looking at a monster. The palace maids did the same, staring at the former prime minister who had been demoted to a fifth-rank university scholar, and began to wonder if he had a mental illness.
Feng Yuheng shook his head and sighed, "It's really a waste of my grandmother's care for my father."
"County Lady." The maid in charge said to her helplessly, "Lord Feng may have been traumatized and his mind is not clear. We servants will not bother with him." As she spoke, she took out another silver note from her bosom and said, "During the great funeral of the Feng family, if it were said that in the past, this funeral gift would definitely be given to Lord Feng. But the Concubine Xian said that Lord Feng is only a fifth-rank official now, and it is not appropriate for him to accept our funeral gift. So this funeral gift will be kept by the County Lady. The Concubine Xian sent it for the County Lady."
Eunuch Liu followed closely and handed over a banknote. Feng Jinyuan looked at the two banknotes, both of which clearly had one million taels written on them, and a sweet taste rose up in his throat...
