Chapter 91 Watching the Lanterns
"Changfang, how is the matter going?" Feng Zuwen sent the mother and daughter to the inner courtyard and went directly to the study.
"Marquis, you asked your subordinates to arrange for Feng Twelve, who went to investigate the old lady's family, to come back today to report." Yu Changfang bowed and replied.
"Well, what do you say?"
"When the old marquis married a second wife, he did not help her family much, but let them go on their own.
Later, the old lady's father passed away. Because her eldest brother did not pass the imperial examination and it was difficult to gain a foothold in the capital, he took his family back to his hometown, Ziyang City. He
sought a position as a governor in the Ziyang City prefectural government office. The Ziyang prefect at that time also gave the position for the sake of the face of the marquis's mansion."
"Father did a good job in this regard. Otherwise, it would be a disaster." Feng Zuwen sighed.
The old emperor has the same idea. Look at the current empress dowager's family as an example.
"Old Marquis has done a great job. Marquis, Feng Twelve has also found out something that we can make good use of. I think it will be more effective than using the old lady's brother." Yu Changfang suggested.
"Oh? Tell me more." Feng Zuwen leaned forward, his interest was greatly aroused.
He originally just wanted to use Ruan Ruoying's family to make a fuss and separate the second house.
Yu Changfang told him his idea, and Feng Zuwen nodded in appreciation.
"Changfang, this is a good idea, let's do it this way. Don't rush, take your time, and make it happen naturally, so that the effect will be good and people won't be suspicious. You can go home and ask your father for help.
I didn't expect that Changfang is also a good person. It seems that the old lady has never offended you, right?" Feng Zuwen joked at the end. "
Marquis, the old lady didn't offend me. She offended you, the Marquis. Isn't it my duty to share the master's worries?
Besides, such a good young lady, who has suffered so much, came back to help the Marquis' Mansion so much, and gave me such a good martial arts secret book.
She also called me uncle, as an uncle, shouldn't I seek justice for her?"
Yu Changfang seemed to have changed into a different person, suddenly speaking eloquently and at such a long speech.
Feng Zuwen laughed when he heard it.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is coming soon.
There is a lantern festival in the capital every year at this time.
Feng Yuanhao said the day before that he would take his sister to see the lanterns.
Feng Tianxing was very happy and had been looking forward to it since yesterday.
But when the three siblings were getting ready to go out, His Royal Highness Ming Wang came uninvited.
"Sister Feng, I'll take you to see the lanterns. I'm also good at guessing riddles, I can win lanterns for you.
" Feng Tianxing rolled her eyes: [I have two brothers to guess riddles for, why do I need you?]
The lantern festival was on the commercial street, still some distance away from the north city, so they chose to go ahead in a carriage.
Unexpectedly, they were stopped halfway.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and they saw the eldest prince.
"Meet the eldest prince." Feng Yuanhao stepped forward to greet him.
"Brother, why are you here? "Yun Ranqing was surprised.
"The Queen Mother was afraid that you would get lost by yourself, so she asked me to accompany you."
Everyone knew it was an excuse as soon as they heard it, and they were sure that he also wanted to see the lanterns.
Let's go together.
But they didn't walk far before Feng Tianxing looked out the window and his head suddenly retracted into the car. He pulled
Feng Yuanhao to look quickly.
Feng Yuanhao stretched his head out and saw: Yuan Qiaolan.
"Stop the car quickly." Feng Yuanhao ordered immediately. He
jumped out of the car and ran over.
"Qiaolan, why are you here?" Since Feng Yuanhao and Yuan Qiaolan got engaged, he no longer called her Sister Yuan, but called her by her maiden name.
"My Lord, it was the Madam who asked us to wait for you here. The young lady has been in good health these days, and it's a rare opportunity today, the Lantern Festival, to come out and relax. "Xia Yu stepped forward to answer, still smiling.
Feng Yuanhao understood what he meant as soon as he heard it.
He often went to Yuan's house, but he really had no chance to talk to Yuan Qiaolan alone.
This was his future mother-in-law creating an opportunity for him.
Now the team is much stronger. And each has its own guards.
Feng Tianxing happily stepped forward and pulled Yuan Qiaolan into his carriage.
Now, three brothers and sisters plus Yuan Qiaolan in one carriage, The maid sat in the carriage outside, just right.
Yun Ranqing got on Yun Ranzheng's carriage very lonely.
Arriving at Huarong Street, the lantern festival was held on this street.
The crowd was obviously much larger than elsewhere, mostly young people. There were also some young couples who brought their children to play.
And tonight Feng Zuwen's task was heavy. This kind of large-scale festival had a lot of people and many people who did bad things. It was impossible to rely on the few people Yuan Yinan had. Enough.
So Feng Zuwen took the initiative to bring people to help, which was actually his duty.
This is a very prosperous commercial street.
In order to promote their products, merchants have hung a lot of lights, mainly giving away lights by guessing riddles.
Some activities are also held to attract customers.
The government has also prepared a show in a square.
Feng Tianxing got off the carriage and refused to let Feng Yuanhao hold her, but ran to find the eldest prince to hold her.
Yun Ran was just thinking Of course he was happy to see the little girl getting close to him.
Without his sister, Feng Yuanhao naturally focused all his attention on taking care of Yuan Qiaolan.
And wherever his sister went, Feng Yuanhan would follow.
So it became that Yun Ran was holding Feng Tianxing in the middle, and Feng Yuanhan and Yun Ranqing were on both sides like bodyguards.
Feng Yuanhao and Yuan Qiaolan were walking behind.
Feng Tianxing was very satisfied with this formation and turned to look at her big brother.
[Big brother, hold Sister Yuan's hand, otherwise what if she gets lost? ]
Feng Tianxing shouted to Feng Yuanhao, and even clasped her two little hands together, making a very vivid gesture.
Feng Yuanhao blushed and ignored his sister.
How could she be so fierce?
Feng Tianxing was quickly attracted by the lively scene.
There were shouts everywhere, which made people dazzled.
When Feng Tianxing liked a lantern, several brothers were happy to guess for her. It was really a star-studded party.
Before she walked far, almost everyone held a lantern for her. There were all kinds of shapes.
"The competition over at Hongjun Square is about to start. Let's go and have a look. This year, the government's lanterns will not rely on guessing, but on martial arts competitions. It will definitely be more interesting." A person passing by was talking to his companions in a hurry.
When Feng Tianxing heard this, he suddenly had an idea.
[By the way, it seems that it was during this year's lantern festival that the second prince and the fourth daughter of General Chen's family were engaged. Later, she entered the second prince's mansion as a concubine. It was a pity for such a good girl.
The girl was born in a military family, but later she couldn't stand the second prince who killed people everywhere after becoming emperor. She refused to listen to the emperor's advice many times, and finally angered the emperor, and her whole family was beheaded. No, I have to stop it. It would be most appropriate for the girl to marry the eldest prince.
Feng Yuanhan, who was following nearby, was shocked when he heard this.
General Chen is a good friend of my father.
This must be stopped.
"Eldest Young Master, Fourth Young Master, let's go to Hongjun Square to join in the fun. I have practiced martial arts for so long, and I also want to try to see if I can snatch that glass flower lantern." Feng Yuanhan can't call the eldest prince outside, so he calls him Young Master instead, which is very appropriate.
However, everyone knows Yun Ranqing's identity as soon as they see his face.
Second brother, you really understand my heart. 】
Feng Tianxing raised his hand and pointed forward.
"Tianxing, do you want to go too?" Yun Ran asked with a smile.
Feng Tianxing nodded vigorously.
"Okay, then we'll go too."
Feng Tianxing was happy, and then looked for the big brother who was following behind.
Hey, why is he gone?
He looked around and looked for him everywhere.
