readx(); Feng Yuheng and Feng Zirui had talked about the Yao family before, and Feng Zirui had even expressed his attitude before, but never like now, he had expressed his dissatisfaction with the mother so directly and clearly, even digging up the old accounts in the northwest mountain village. - Net, -
In fact, although Feng Yuheng did not really participate in the events of that year, she inherited all the memories of the original owner, and the memories of those three years were so deep that every detail was in her mind and it was impossible to miss it. She knew everything that Zirui said clearly, and even remembered that the original owner complained about the mother of the Yao family more than once during those three years.
Zirui's words were beyond her refutation. It was Yao's own fault that she and her son had gotten into this mess. Even if she wanted to reconcile, she had no position to do so. Moreover, when a mother abandons her children and goes far away, why should she forgive them? She, Feng Yuheng, had never been a saint in her past and present lives. How could she repay kindness if she was asked to repay evil with kindness? She could not achieve the state of mind of saints who said, "Others abuse me thousands of times, but I treat them like my first love." To her, relatives are relatives and enemies are enemies. You are willing to turn from relatives to enemies with me. I tried to stop you, but I couldn't, so that's it. If Yao hadn't had a face that looked exactly like her mother who died young in her previous life, she probably wouldn't have stopped him, and her heart wouldn't have been hurt. She would have kept her distance from him when he first showed this kind of behavior, and she wouldn't have kept dealing with him until now.
She looked at Zirui and suddenly laughed, saying softly, "My Zirui, you have really grown up. From now on, there are only you and I, brother and sister, in this world. Don't worry, I will do everything I can to keep you safe, take good care of you and give you the best."
Zirui also said to him: "I don't want sister to give it to me. I will earn it myself. I will grow up a little bit more and protect my sister so that she can live in peace for the rest of her life."
At night, Feng Yuheng stayed with the child as usual until he fell asleep. Feng Zirui used to be very clingy, either clinging to Yao or clinging to her. If neither of them could cling to him, he would cling to Wangchuan Huangquan. In short, someone always had to accompany him when he slept, but it couldn't be like now, where he slept on the bed and the person next to him could sit on a chair and read a book.
But now Feng Zirui sleeps very soundly and well. He no longer rolls up the quilt as often as before, and his legs and feet don't kick around. Now the child's sleeping posture is like a soldier with military discipline, flat and neat, breathing evenly, and he doesn't move until he falls asleep.
Feng Yuheng watched the changes in her brother and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. After all, people have to grow up, understand more things, have the ability to analyze things independently, and even sleep has some restrictions on themselves, no longer as casual as before. But with the restrictions, the innocence is gone, and at a young age, he will finally mature like other children of this generation, until one day he will separate and marry and have children, and no longer need her as a sister to protect him.
She smiled and quietly left Zirui's room. Wangchuan and Huangquan were waiting outside, and the three of them returned to her courtyard together. Huangquan fetched water for her to wash up. While Wangchuan helped her change her clothes, she listened to her saying, "Send someone to the Prince Yu's Mansion later. There's no need to disturb His Highness the Ninth Prince. Just say hello to the gatekeeper. Tell him to stop at the palace gate when His Highness is dismissed tomorrow, pick up Zirui and bring him to the palace to pay his respects to the Emperor." Wangchuan nodded, put away her outer robe, and said she would do it herself. Huangquan happened to come in at this time, and Feng Yuheng said again, "Huangquan will send Zirui off tomorrow afternoon. After returning to Beijing, he must see the Emperor first. The Emperor mentioned that he missed him last time."
Huang Quan quickly agreed, and then asked, "Then won't the young lady go to the palace as well?"
She shook her head. "I won't go. You can just hand Zirui over to His Majesty the Ninth Prince at the palace gate. I'll take Wangchuan and Banzou to the farm outside the city. It's almost New Year's Day, so I have to go to the orphanage in person."
Huang Quan nodded, thought about it, and said, "Miss, don't go to bed yet. Try on the clothes that Madam Zhou sent you today, and also pick one to wear to the palace banquet."
Feng Yuheng did not object, and tried on the clothes sent by Madam Zhou one by one. Finally, she put on a peony-colored dress and stared at the mirror in a daze.
Not only was she in a daze, Huang Quan was also in a daze. After a while, he sighed repeatedly: "It's so beautiful! This is the first time I see you wearing clothes of this color. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful." Thinking about it again, he looked at Feng Yuheng's figure carefully and finally understood, "I know, Miss, you have grown taller than the first two years, and you have gained some flesh on your body. The parts that should stand out are now standing out, so naturally you can hold up the clothes better than before. Well, your complexion is better too, and this color sets off your figure, it's really beautiful."
Feng Yuheng laughed and pointed at her chest: "You mean there's growth here?" She laughed as she spoke, "I'm almost fifteen years old, it's time for it to grow. Otherwise it's always dry and shriveled, which is ugly."
Huang Quan was shocked when she heard this, only her daughter could say such a thing, other girls' chests would be tightly tied up with cloth if they had a little flesh, wishing they could throw away all the flesh that had grown. But they didn't know that having some flesh really looks better!
Huang Quan smiled and suggested to Feng Yuheng: "Miss, wear more clothes of this color in the future. It looks good. Don't always dress yourself so plainly."
Feng Yuheng also smiled and said, "I have never been particular about what I wear. As long as the clothes are comfortable and pleasing to the eye, it's fine. Only the peony is the true national beauty. I never wear such a color when I go to the palace, because I am afraid of causing trouble again." After that, he said helplessly, "Even if I try to avoid it, I still can't avoid it. Every time, it happens to me."
"That's right." Huang Quan also agreed, "So we don't have to think about those taboos this time. What's more, this dress was sent to you by Madam Zhou. Madam Zhou is a very thoughtful person. She dared to make a dress of this color, which means it must be okay for us to wear it."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "That's it." As she spoke, she took it off and handed it to Huang Quan: "Hang it up, don't fold it, it will easily wrinkle." She had already taken a clothes hanger to her bedroom, and the two maids had already mastered it, and their days were a combination of the past and the present.
The Princess went to bed early at night, but at the Lu Mansion, Lu Yan was so angry that she went crazy because of a bowl of bird's nest. Ge Shi urged her: "This thing tastes like this. You eat it to nourish your body and face, not because it tastes good. It is not sweet water anyway."
Lu Yan didn't believe it. "Impossible! I've heard people say that blood swallows are delicious when stewed. Otherwise, how can the ladies in the palace eat it? Just think about it. My daughter is just the daughter of an official, and she finds it hard to swallow. How can the ladies in the palace bear it with their delicate bodies?"
Mrs. Ge had no choice but to tell the truth: "It's no wonder you can't eat. What kind of chefs are used in the palace? They put enough ingredients, so the stew is naturally delicious. Our house is in such a state now. The chefs we used to have are all gone, and the ones left are just the assistants who used to cut vegetables."
Lu Yanwei was a little surprised, but soon understood. Although the Lu family is still the residence of the left prime minister, even if there is no business outside, it will not be as miserable as it is now. But the bad thing is that the Yao family's suppression of the Lu family in business is very fierce, not only damaging the lifeline of all business, but also making the Lu family heavily in debt. The silver alone is enough to pay for the lifetime salary of several left prime ministers, how can it not be shabby.
Her hatred for the Yao family suddenly rose up again. She threw the bowl of top-quality blood swallows, which she could not swallow after two sips, to the ground fiercely, biting her silver teeth almost to pieces. "Yao family, one day I will destroy your family! One day, I will uproot the Yao family, nine clans! Everyone who is related to the Yao family will be killed!"
Facing Lu Yan's hysteria, Madam Ge did not stop her, but calmly ordered the servants to clean up the things on the ground. As for the wasted blood swallows, if the servants did not mind, they could pick them up and eat them, and then think about it again, and resolutely said: "Don't worry, daughter, I will invite a chef who specializes in making bird's nests to come to the mansion tomorrow. Even if I have to spend all my money in the Lu Mansion, I will make those blood swallows for you! No matter how hard our lives are, we can't let you suffer."
Lu Yan didn't know whether she listened to what Ge said or not. She just stared at the servants carefully picking up the fallen blood swallows and putting them in another bowl. She was about to take them away. She suddenly shouted, "Don't throw them away, and don't eat them. Wash them and bring them back. I will eat them no matter how bad they taste. If for nothing else, just to make the Lu family recover in the future, I will eat all these blood swallows."
The next morning, Huang Quan sent Zirui to the palace gate to wait for Xuan Tianming. She asked Qingyu to deliver the medicines taken out of the space to Baicaotang, and she took Wangchuan out in the palace carriage. She bought a lot of New Year's goods in the capital, and then went all the way to the farm outside the city.
Speaking of the orphans living in the manor, except for some younger ones, the older ones have been sent to the capital and Baicaotang in other provinces after pharmacological training. Now there are many new people in the manor, all of them are orphans from surrounding towns. Tiandong and Fusang have been to other provinces before, but they were called back. After all, the manor cannot do without them, and they are more familiar with the situation here.
It took less than an hour to drive from the capital to the manor. When Feng Yuheng's carriage left the manor, many people inside saw it. They were surprised to see a new child, and even ran back to the house in fear. But the children who recognized the carriage cheered and ran outside, and even Fusang and Tiandong followed them out. When Feng Yuheng lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, Fusang hurried forward and said, "It's just right that the princess is here. There is something going on right now. Tiandong and I are both worried and can't make a decision!"
