She was very satisfied with the progress of the training of the Shen Ji Battalion, especially the mastery of the machine guns by the members of the Sharpshooter Group. After only two days and one night, some people were able to hit the target very accurately, which made Feng Yuheng admire her unique vision when she selected people. Come to think of it, how could someone who could master the archery skills to perfection not be able to master the essentials of the machine gun?
Seeing that the training of the Archery Team was going well, she gave instructions to the Tianji Team on some matters and hurried back to Kyoto. She was expected to leave the capital before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, as there were too many things to deal with. At least she had to find a chance to meet Xuan Tiange's sisters, and Xiangrong, the girl had stated her position at the palace banquet, so she had to at least ask Xuan Tiange to take care of her more in the capital.
I returned to Beijing on the evening of the seventh day, and on the morning of the eighth day, Xuan Tiange and his companions came to visit me. Xuan Tiange, Ren Xifeng, Feng Tianyu, Bai Furong, all of them gathered in the Princess's Mansion.
Xuan Tiange held Feng Yuheng's hand and said, "You didn't even tell us about such a big decision in advance. Ah Heng, don't you consider us your friends anymore?"
Feng Yuheng was afraid that she would say this, so she quickly explained, "It's really not like that. First, this decision was made hastily, and second, there are indeed too many things to deal with. You see, I just came back from the camp last night."
This reason made sense. They all knew that she had gone to the camp outside the capital, so they didn't insist on not telling them about it. Ren Xifeng said, "The news of the closure of Baicaotang has spread all over the streets. After hearing the news yesterday, the people in the capital were very excited and surrounded the residences of the officials, even Prince Sheng's residence was not spared."
Feng Yuheng had also heard about this matter. Wang Lin came to report it to her last night, but he didn't give a detailed account. After all, he didn't go to see it in order to avoid suspicion. Besides, with so many mansions, how could he investigate them all?
Ren Xifeng was much more detailed. She told Feng Yuheng, "The gates of all the mansions were smashed by people. They were not broken, because the people only threw some cabbage stalks and eggs. Although they were not broken, it was really disgusting to see. It was New Year's Day, but it made those officials very angry."
"I deserve it." Feng Tianyu rolled his eyes. "Ah Heng, you don't know, those shameless guys actually had the nerve to come to our Right Prime Minister's Mansion to file a complaint and ask my father to make a decision for them. Do you think they are out of their minds? How can my father take care of their affairs? Oh, by the way, someone also complained to the government office, but Jingzhao Yin said that during the New Year, the emperor has sealed the seal, don't expect him to open the door to work."
Feng Yuheng also felt satisfied after hearing this, and asked immediately: "What about the situation at Prince Sheng's Mansion?"
"I have to tell you about this." Xuan Tiange said with a smile, "I also heard it from my second brother. He secretly went to watch the excitement. It is said that the Sheng Palace sent out a group of guards to surround the people. Unfortunately, this siege not only did not scare the people, but it made them angry. People were already excited, and being surrounded like this was equivalent to confessing without being beaten. So some people jumped up and down and cursed! Some people even pointed at the gate of the Sheng Palace and said, "Your Highness, are you going to rebel? You are besieging the people with your private soldiers on the streets of the capital." It was a lively scene. The people wailed and shouted that the Eighth Prince was going to rebel, but the man in the palace was very angry. But there were too many people, so he couldn't do anything even if he was angry. He was originally accused of rebellion, so how could he dare to touch a hair of the people."
Ren Xifeng added: "The noise went on until after noon, and then people gradually dispersed. But they were still upset about the closure of Baicaotang. But I think that's it. The noise has been made, but it won't change anything."
Bai Furong asked worriedly, "Ah Heng, are you really going to close Baicaotang?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Of course, close the shop, and then take the guys to the fiefdom to open another one. The mess in the capital will be handed over to the Eighth Prince, and see how he handles it."
"Aren't you afraid that he will become too powerful in the capital?" Feng Tianyu was a little worried. "Once he becomes too powerful, you won't be able to come back even if you want to!"
"How is that possible?" Before Feng Yuheng could speak, Xuan Tiange took over the conversation: "He wants to become powerful, but is he the only prince left in the capital? Don't forget, my seventh brother is still here!"
"Seventh Prince, won't you go to the East Territory after the New Year?" Ren Xifeng was born in a family of military commanders, so he was somewhat sensitive to such things. "The situation in the East Territory is also unstable now, and they are in need of a general to take charge! Leaving only the deputy general at the border is not a long-term solution."
Xuan Tiange didn't understand these, and couldn't help but look at Feng Yuheng. Feng Yuheng analyzed: "After something like this happened, the Seventh Brother in the East Territory should not go there quickly, but it is not ruled out that the Eighth Prince will do something bad and instigate the battle in the east to force the Seventh Brother to leave the capital. So, it is also a risky move for us to leave the capital. It's nothing more than a fight to see who has better luck! The Eighth Prince has now handed over his military power, so even if he wants to cause trouble, it will be difficult."
Ren Xifeng heard her say this and felt that it made sense. It was very difficult for a prince without military power to cause trouble. Even if he was in the capital, even if he was in charge of the imperial guards, it would not be of much use. After all, even if the Seventh Prince left the capital, there were still the First and Second Princes in the capital, and there was also the Jingzhao Yin and the army guarding the city. These were all the Seventh Prince's men.
After a brief analysis, the few of them calmed down temporarily, and the topic returned to the fact that Feng Yuheng was leaving them and their sisters.
Feng Yuheng comforted them and said, "I am going to the fiefdom to build it and live a good life. I am the king there! You should be happy for me. When I have finished the construction, you can go over there when you have nothing to do. I will leave the yard for you, and you can come and stay for a while at any time."
What she said not only made the others unhappy, but they rolled their eyes at her. Xuan Tiange said, "Do you think we are like you? No one is watching over us, we are free to go anywhere. It is not easy for us to go out. Have you ever seen a young lady go to other provinces for fun when she has nothing to do? Besides, at our age..."
When this sad thing was mentioned again, Feng Yuheng quickly stopped the topic and said, "Sooner or later, a woman will have such a day. Don't be too pessimistic. It's useless to think too much now, unless you have a lover like Furong, you can still fight for it. But you guys don't even have a lover, why worry about it. If one day you can't get over your family, we can discuss it again, there will always be a solution."
A few words made Bai Furong's face turn red, but also touched the nerves of the other three. Ren Xifeng clapped his hands and said, "Oh! Ah Heng, you are the smartest. I always feel that something is missing in the matter of marriage. I just worry that the person my family arranged for me is not the one I want to marry, but I have never thought about who I really want to marry."
Feng Tianyu also nodded and said: "That's the truth, we all ignored it."
Xuan Tiange pointed his fingers at each other: "What you mean is that our top priority is to find someone with the same temper as us first, and then work hard with a goal and direction?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Yes!" You don't even have a partner, why are you worrying about it. Sometimes she really wanted to ask the girls in front of her. It is said that people in ancient times were smart at an early age. Girls started talking about marriage with their sisters when they were about ten years old. Many families got engaged at the age of twelve or thirteen, and got married after the fifteenth year of the coming-of-age ceremony. But why are her sisters so late in maturing? They don't even have a sweetheart until now, it's really...
"Alright! We understand." Ren Xifeng woke up the three people with this remark, and took Bai Furong's hand: "Furong! Speaking of which, you are the only one among us who is in a free love relationship. Even Ah Heng was arranged to marry. I will leave this experience to you to teach us!"
Bai Furong gradually returned to her original temperament after she recovered from her illness. At this moment, she looked at the three people with great contempt: "What can I teach you? Go find them on the street! Or go home and think about it. Write down the names of all the unengaged men in Beijing on a piece of paper and use the process of elimination one by one."
Feng Yuheng couldn't listen any more. These people really had the same aspirations in this regard! They were all like this... That's all. She smiled bitterly, "Let's not talk about this. I have prepared gifts for you all. Wait a minute."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the inner room. The gifts were indeed prepared and taken out from the space in advance and placed in the cabinet in the inner room. She opened the cabinet and called Wangchuan Huangquan to help take out the things. Several bundles of things were placed in front of the three people.
"Two bags for each of you, enough for a year." She said as she opened the bag, which was filled with sanitary napkins. "You don't lack gold and silver, so it's pointless for me to give them to you. After thinking about it, let's be more honest. We are sisters. I have given you this before, so I don't need to tell you what it is, right?"
Several people had received small gifts from Feng Yuheng before, so they knew what they were, and they almost jumped for joy. For a family like theirs, they really had everything. Gold, silver, jewelry, silver, and gold notes could not impress them. But the most private things of girls were very attractive to them. After all, the menstrual belts of ancient women were too simple. Even the ladies of wealthy families could not make any fancy things. The only difference was that the cloth used on the outside was better and the cotton inside was better. That was all. How could it be compared with the sanitary napkins of later generations?
Feng Yuheng took out these, which were enough for them to use for a year, and the girls were very happy. In addition, Feng Yuheng also prepared some commonly used Chinese patent medicines and Western medicines, and told them: "If you are sick, try to take these Chinese patent medicines as much as possible, and take these white pills if it is an emergency, understand?"
Several people didn't understand, but Feng Yuheng was a miracle doctor, so they had to listen to her. Seeing them nod, Feng Yuheng took out some more medicines and said, "It's not convenient for me to go to your house. These medicines are for treating and preventing old age diseases, and there are some plasters that can relieve waist and leg diseases. They are prepared for the families of each house."
She also prepared medicine for the family, and they were very grateful. Xuan Tiange said, "It is customary to exchange gifts, so we have also prepared gifts for you. You also said that we are not outsiders, so we will not give you anything empty. Take these." As they spoke, they took the wooden boxes they brought from their maids and handed them to Feng Yuheng, except for Bai Furong...
