241 Reward, Daughter of the Loyal Marquis

The people who came from the palace were not here to cause trouble for Feng Qingchen, but to come to Feng Mansion to announce the emperor's decree and convey the emperor's reward.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims:..."

The emperor said he would reward Feng Qingchen handsomely, and it was indeed a generous reward. Gold, silver, jewelry, brocade, silk and jade ornaments were of course needed, but the biggest reward was to posthumously confer the title of Marquis of Loyalty on Feng Qingchen's father and Madam Haoming on her mother.

Holding the imperial edict, Feng Qingchen had a blank expression on his face.

"Master, are you unhappy?" Sun Sixing asked puzzledly.

This is a great honor. How many people can be posthumously honored like General Feng, so many years after his death? Moreover, the emperor also allowed Feng Qingchen's future children to have the surname "Feng" and inherit the title.

In this way, Feng Qingchen is no longer a poor girl, but the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty. If those people in the imperial city want to bully her, they will have to see if they have the ability to do so.

"I am glad. I am glad."

Pah… a teardrop fell on the imperial edict, and Sun Sixing quickly moved it away: "Master, defiling the imperial edict is a capital crime.

"Oh." Feng Qingchen quickly wiped the tears from her face: "Si Xing, please help me put the imperial edict away. I'm afraid it will be defiled."

She wanted to cry when she saw the imperial edict.

Her father died in the war, and his life could not win any praise from the emperor. Her mother died saving the queen, and her life could not win any sympathy from the queen. But what about now?

The two horses brought her father a title of nobility and her mother's life.

How worthless is human life.

"Master, I know you are unhappy, but some things have happened and we are powerless to change them. Now that the emperor can remember Master and Master's wife, that's a good thing.

When my master died in battle, there was not even a body left; when my master's wife fell off a cliff, her body was not found either. They have been gone for so many years, and there is not even a grave.

Master was young back then, and the Emperor was also unhappy with Master's defeat, so it's understandable that Master and Master's wife didn't have a tomb built for them. Now that the Emperor has conferred a title on Master, we have to build one too. "Death is the greatest thing. Even if we don't have a grand funeral, we should at least have a tomb so that future generations can have a place to worship, but...

It was not known whether Feng Qingchen was too useless or too unfilial back then. He never mentioned looking for the remains of his father and mother, nor did he ever think about building a cenotaph for his parents.

The Jiuzhou continent is known for its benevolence and filial piety. An unfilial person, even if he has amazing talent, will not be accepted by the great scholars and celebrities. This is one of the reasons why Feng Qingchen was hated by the world back then.

For a woman who has no father or mother in her heart, can you still expect her to have someone else in her heart?

Although Feng Qingchen comes from the modern era, she is influenced by Confucian culture. In addition, her own rebirth makes her believe that there may really be God's will in the dark, and that there may really be ghosts and gods in this world. Otherwise, how to explain her rebirth?

It is important to build tombs and erect monuments for deceased parents so that they are no longer wandering ghosts and can be reincarnated.

"Sixing, help me find a Feng Shui master and choose a place with good Feng Shui." The Feng Shui tradition has been passed down for thousands of years, which does make sense. In his previous life, Feng Qingchen had also come into contact with some Feng Shui masters, as well as Thai sorcerers. Some of them are really capable.

She hopes to find a good place for her parents so that they can rest in peace after death.

Feng Qingchen had never seen his parents in his previous life, nor did he have any intention of looking for them, and he had no thoughts about them.

But for some reason, even though she had never seen the parents of her current body, she had a deep affection for them and her heart ached when she thought of them.

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely get this done."

…

Once the emperor's edict came out, it meant that the declining Feng Mansion had regained the emperor's appreciation. The Feng Mansion would no longer be the same as before. The Feng Mansion would become even more prosperous than when General Feng was alive.

The Feng Mansion had a constant stream of visitors, not to mention the Anguo Mansion and the Jinyang Marquis Mansion. Gifts were sent up early, and some people even came to visit the sick in person.

This situation was within Feng Qingchen's expectations. Feng Qingchen refused to see anyone who came to visit him, but accepted all the gifts.

It's not that Feng Qingchen is short-sighted, but to make a living in the imperial city, it is necessary to establish good relationships with these powerful people. She, Feng Qingchen, does not ask these people to help her, but only asks them not to scheme against her like Yaohua and Su Wan.

It is easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark; it is easy to deal with the King of Hell, but hard to deal with the devils; when you can avoid offending someone, it is better not to offend them.

However, there are so many interpersonal relationships in the Feng Mansion that Feng Qingchen has no idea how to handle them. Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about returning the gifts.

Returning a gift is a technical job. If the return gift is too poor, people will say that you look down on them. If the return gift is of higher value than the gift given, it means that you do not accept the other person's kindness. In addition, returning a gift is also taboo in giving back something that someone gave you.

Sorry, Feng Qingchen has no idea how to measure the value of a gift.

In Feng Qingchen's eyes, these things were all antiques, and she had no idea how to appreciate them. Su Wenqing and Wang Qi seemed to have anticipated this situation. After they returned home from visiting the patient, they immediately sent a housekeeper from the mansion to help Feng Qingchen deal with the miscellaneous items.

"Qingchen, the Feng Mansion is no longer the same as before. The population of your Feng Mansion cannot be so simple." Wang Qi is one of the few people who can enter Feng Qingchen's ward.

"I know that, but where can I find the right person in such a short time?" Feng Qingchen was also very troubled.

Being granted a title of nobility and appointed as a general is a great thing and something worth being happy about. No matter whether Feng Qingchen is a modern person or an ancient person, when she came to this world, she would naturally pursue the same things as the people in this world.

She doesn't seek to be in power when awake or to lie on the lap of a beautiful woman when drunk, but only to be prosperous and not to be bullied. In this world, ordinary people can only be humble if they want to live well. If she wants to live freely, she needs more capital.

No matter how dissatisfied Feng Qingchen was with the emperor, she had to admit that the emperor's reward was indeed generous. As the only eldest daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion, even if the people in the imperial city disliked her, they would not dare to embarrass her in person.

But the intercourse during the past few days did not make Feng Qingchen happy at all. There were too many officials, both big and small, in the imperial city. In just three short days, there were sixty or seventy families who came to give gifts.

Wang Qi did not force Feng Qingchen. These interpersonal relationships cannot be learned overnight. The previous Feng Mansion was too far away from the mainstream dignitaries. "Let my housekeeper help you first, and then change when there is a suitable candidate. Qingchen, my eldest brother has rushed back after hearing the news that you were injured."

"Jin Ling? Who told him? Didn't I tell him not to let him know?" Feng Qingchen was shocked. The moment she came out of the palace, the person she wanted to see most was Wang Jinling.

Wang Jinling is gentle, elegant, reserved and steady, but he is not weak and incompetent, nor is he blindly kind. However, he is the eldest son of the Wang family, the one that Feng Qingchen cannot reach.

If she hadn't met the Ninth Prince first, she would have definitely fallen in love with Wang Jinling. Such a perfect man, as long as he was given time, he could make anyone fall in love with him...

She felt safe around Wang Jinling. At that time, she even thought that if Wang Jinling was in the imperial city, he would never let her suffer like this. At that time, she thought that if she could marry Wang Jinling, she would definitely be happy...

Feng Qingchen's reaction made Wang Qi feel a little better. At least his elder brother's efforts were not completely in vain. Feng Qingchen also had his elder brother in his heart.

"Qingchen, it's good that my elder brother is back. It's time to settle some accounts."

The Wang family has been silent for too long, causing those people to forget that the Wang family is the head of the aristocratic families and that the Wang family’s influence spreads throughout the continent of Kyushu!
