In Ban Zou's opinion, the Sixth Prince approached his master without any serious intentions. His master has grown up now, his figure is more prominent than when he was a child, and his skills are getting better every year. The Sixth Prince must have taken a fancy to his master, so he tried every means to get close to him. Really, this girl already has a boyfriend, why are these people still hesitating?
Feng Yuheng certainly didn't know what the secret guard was thinking. She hadn't seen Xuan Tianfeng much in the past two days. She only knew that he was arranging the school's affairs and was always busy and in a hurry. However, it was heard that the school was being built very quickly. In order to please Ji'an County, those students who wanted to study there and their families took the initiative to help with money and effort, which greatly accelerated the progress of the school's construction.
She had done a lot for Ji'an County in the name of the Sixth Prince recently. Although no one said anything, she always felt embarrassed. So she hesitated how to start the conversation. Should she simply express her gratitude, or talk about the profit sharing?
Seeing her tangled face, Xuan Tianfeng seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and couldn't help but smile, saying: "You don't have to think so much, I didn't come to Ji'an County for profit, in fact, in my twenty years of life, I have never sought profit for a single day. If you really want to calculate the gains and losses, I have to give you some compensation, because you took me in, allowing me to live in Ji'an County, and I don't even have to spend money to build a new place to live. I took advantage of Ji'an County!"
"Sixth brother, what are you talking about!" She felt better. No money! That's good. "It's just a place to live. I also think this house is too empty. You moving in will add some liveliness. I was thinking that if you want to build a separate house, there are still many houses left by the Fuji family in the county. They are all very magnificent. I have kept them all. Sixth brother can choose any one you like."
Xuan Tianfeng shook his head, "No need. I have no intention of starting my own business. It would be best if I could find a small courtyard in this Princess's Mansion to live in. Moreover -" He said awkwardly, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I don't have the money to support a mansion now. It is said that scholars are useless. Among the princes of Dashun, I am the poorest. If the Xianwang Mansion in the capital did not have the support of my father and my eldest brother, it would not be able to support such a facade. I don't know how to make money. Whenever I have some money, I think of buying books, or recruiting scholars to compile books. As a result, the account office in the mansion has been emptied out."
Feng Yuheng was stunned. Although she had heard Wang Chuan Huangquan's analysis that the Sixth Prince was definitely not as rich as the other princes, she had never expected him to be as shabby as he said. She didn't quite believe it, but she felt that the Sixth Prince was not a liar. She was stunned for a while, and suddenly said, "How about... I give you some silver! I... I still have some money."
Xuan Tianfeng laughed, "What's yours is yours. How can I take your money? Just pay me on time in the future." He picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea calmly.
Feng Yuheng nodded quickly, thinking that not only should he pay the wages, but he should also pay more. The school should just be registered under Xuan Tianfeng's name, she doesn't need the income of a school. But it's better to send a capable accountant to help him manage the accounts, otherwise the prince will spend all the money on some invisible and intangible things. Scholars are scholars after all, and their ideas are different from others. To be honest, Feng Yuheng's attitude towards Xuan Tianfeng is still very good, because she rarely meets such people. Most of the relationships between people are mixed with too much calculation and exploitation. Xuan Tianfeng is a special case. Like Xuan Tianhua, he can let her see a trace of clean elements in the royal family.
"I guess you won't be staying in Ji'an County for long, right?" Xuan Tianfeng counted the days for her. "Two months at most. I'm afraid you'll have to leave for the Southern Territory."
"Yes! After I'm gone, Sixth Brother will need your help and care for Ji'an County." She was speaking from her heart. No matter who she handed over Ji'an County to, she would not feel at ease, or in other words, no one could control it. Although the situation seems to be very good now, she has only been in charge of these merchants and people for a short time. What if someone becomes disloyal after she is gone? What if there is no one who can control the situation? Therefore, the Sixth Prince is the most suitable for this job. Who can be so blind as to follow a prince against the wind? She said to Xuan Tianfeng sincerely: "Sixth Brother, it is best for me if you can stay in Ji'an County. It will take more than one or two months for me to go to the south and come back. If you are not in the county, I really don't know what to do."
Xuan Tianfeng naturally agreed to this. He said, "Don't worry. I am still a prince no matter how bad I am. Besides, I am the governor of Yuzhou. I won't let this place go to chaos. But you, the southern border is dangerous, and there are no eyes on the battlefield. Please take care of yourself."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Don't worry, Sixth Brother, this is not my first time on the battlefield, I still have some ideas."
Xuan Tianfeng also knew that this brother-in-law was very capable, so he didn't say much, but just sighed: "I rarely ask about the things in the capital, but I heard that the second lady of the Feng family was engaged to Ming'er when I was young. That kid has never been very obedient since he was a child. In the past, the daughter of Ding'an Palace fell in love with him, and he set fire to her house. I didn't expect that you two would get along so well."
Speaking of this, Feng Yuheng's mood improved. He simply asked Wangchuan Huangquan to replace the tea with wine, and took advantage of the good moonlight tonight to invite the Sixth Prince to raise a toast and drink together.
Xuan Tianming did not refuse. After three glasses of wine, he heard Feng Yuheng talk about her first encounter with Xuan Tianming in the mountains of the northwest. He heard Feng Yuheng exaggerate and say, "When I saw him for the first time, I was almost stunned by his face! I have never seen such a handsome man, and there is a purple lotus between his eyebrows! Sixth brother, how could a person grow a purple lotus between his eyebrows? I almost thought he was a monster! But how could a monster be injured like that? I couldn't bear to see it, so I healed him."
She talked about the beginning of their meeting, and then she talked about how she used the twenty taels of silver given by Xuan Tianming to take her mother, brother and a maid to escape from Xiping Village all the way back to the capital, and how bad the Feng family was and how harsh they treated her. As she talked, all the past events replayed in her mind, but she no longer had the hatred she had at the beginning. Instead, she missed the various people in the Feng Mansion at that time, including Feng Chenyu's face.
"I have never seen a woman so beautiful." At this point, she was willing to give Feng Chenyu a relatively fair evaluation. Although there are many celebrities and beauties in the future, most of them are carved out of the same mold on the operating table. Putting aside whether Feng Chenyu is kind-hearted, her face can really be called stunning. "In fact, if the Feng family was not so deceiving, I would not have such a bad relationship with them. After all, they are relatives. It's a pity that things in the world are not always so perfect. Never mind, at least Xuan Tianming is still reliable, which is the best reward for me." She recalled the past with a smile, and unknowingly told Xuan Tianfeng a lot about the past.
Slowly, she talked about the war in the South Realm again. She told Xuan Tianfeng, "I came to Ji'an County to make it easier to go to the South Realm. All the money is for supporting Xuan Tianming's army. Sixth brother, you know, once the food and grass fall into the hands of the Eighth Prince, Xuan Tianming's military supplies will definitely not be able to meet the demand. If the soldiers are hungry, the war cannot be fought, so I have to support him from behind. I must not let him be isolated and helpless. He and I are one."
When she spoke, her chin slightly raised, her face full of youthful vigor. Xuan Tianfeng felt like he was talking to a strange woman, and the inexplicable feelings he originally had for Feng Yuheng had also changed substantially at this moment, or rather, it was truly revealing those feelings, allowing him to see clearly and recognize clearly, allowing him to understand that his feelings for this woman were not what he originally imagined, but should be... deep admiration!
Everything in Ji'an County was proceeding in an orderly manner. The school supervised by the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng himself was completed after 13 days, and officially opened to recruit students. On the day of the opening, Feng Yuheng brought Xiangrong to watch the excitement, which aroused the excitement of the students and their families who came from afar.
Xiangrong saw that the county was prosperous and people had their own things to do and were busy. She didn't want to be an idler, but she didn't know what she could do. She was so anxious that she seemed very worried.
Feng Yuheng did have some plans for her. She said to Xiangrong, "Why don't you open an embroidery shop in Ji'an County? You are familiar with this business. There are still many empty shops in the county. Let's pick one with a good location and start working. I still have a lot of fresh embroidery patterns here. Many of them were given to me by my Persian master. They depict the scenery of the outer sea. The embroidery is very fresh and must be very popular. You run the shop well here, and Aunt An will have a place to settle down in the future. I know you don't like to stay in the capital. Ji'an County is a good home. Although Aunt An is Feng Jinyuan's concubine, this identity is not impossible to get rid of. You have a proper home in Ji'an County, and I, as your sister, can rest assured."
Feng Yuheng had made good plans for her sister. As for An's status as a concubine, it was actually easy to handle. She never thought that Feng Jinyuan could still live well after going to the Southern Territory to help Fu Ya. Once Feng Jinyuan died, An would naturally be free.
People should always know how to be grateful. She always remembered what Yao said, that when they left Beijing, An grabbed Zirui's collar and threw a handful of silver coins into it. Without that silver, they would have been unable to survive when they first arrived in Xiping Village.
Xiangrong didn't expect that her second sister had arranged her life so well, and even took An into consideration, which touched her deeply. The little girl was shy to begin with, and she didn't know what to say when she was touched. She mumbled and tears welled up in her eyes. Feng Yuheng then said, "I have reserved a house for you next to this Princess's Mansion. It's only twenty steps away from the gate of the Princess's Mansion to that place. It's very close. When Aunt An comes, I will clean it up there, and it will be your home in Ji'an County. You don't have to thank me. We have lived like that for so many years, and everyone is tired of it. I just hope to have some family around me, to have a sense of home, to get some warmth related to the word home, and to make up for what I lost in the past little by little..."
