Chapter 37: Marriage and Family Affairs
The patriarch and the prince took the guards into the settlement for the displaced people. The so-called resettlement center is a remote piece of land in the wilderness ten miles outside the city, several straw huts have been erected, and several large stoves have been built, and rice porridge is cooked non-stop during the day. Governor Li borrowed a nearby garrison to inspect the resettlement center, and by the way, he guarded the displaced people and prevented people from making trouble.
The leader of the road quickly took a few taels of silver from Lao Qi and divided them into a separate straw hut. Lao Wu put Lao Jiu down carefully, Lao Qi looked around, and said, "I didn't expect that Li Fangming could also do some personnel." โ
"This is under his rule, if the displaced people are in turmoil, what good fruit can he eat? Left and right are just for his own official position. The fifth man said disdainfully.
Seeing that the patriarch was still thoughtful, the seventh asked, "Master, what did you think of?" But what's wrong? When Lao Jiu is ready, we will immediately leave for Beijing and play the banner of Yuanwangfu, I see if Li Yonghui dares to send killers again! Dare to assassinate the king of the โกโก Imperial Seal, and grab one of them so that he will die without a place to be buried! โ
The patriarch came back to his senses and smiled: "It's okay, don't worry." I was just thinking about the little doctor. โ
"That big girl?" Lao Qidao, "The master suspects that there is something wrong with her?" Do you want me to find out where she came from? โ
Lao Wu also shouted: "That's right, this ignoring man and woman makes people confused!" It's good to find out his details! โ
The patriarch said with a smile: "You guys take a break, don't be so nervous." After thinking about it, he said, "It's okay to check it out, as long as the family background is passable......
"Family history?" Lao Qi said suspiciously.
The patriarch nodded: "That little doctor has bright eyes and a kind heart, and she is open-minded, she will not be a person with bad intentions." You first inquire about which family she is and whether she has a marriage. โ
Lao Qi and the others looked at each other, and Lao Wu's eyes widened: "Master, do you want to ......?"
The patriarch stroked a handful of beautiful beards, nodded and smiled: "Not bad." My grandson has passed the age of the crown, but he always seems to be unenlightened, and he is cold and lonely like a young man. I think this little doctor is very good, maybe he can cure him. Saying that, he sighed again, "His father and mother are unreliable, only caring about their own grievances and grievances, but they have raised my grandson to such an unkind temperament, and he has not even decided on a family affair until now." Now I have to worry about this old bone. There are also a few ladies in the capital who are very good, and their fathers and brothers are also upright people. It's just that I'm afraid that people won't be able to stand his temperament, so I don't have to wronged other girls. โ
The guards were speechless. When the old prince was young, he was the most free and easy, and he didn't care about everything, and when he first saw Xiao Shizi, he didn't even know that it was his grandson, but he didn't expect to worry about these things at this time, and he actually secretly looked at other people's daughters for the prince. In fact, as long as their son nods, the ladies who are willing to marry can row from the east of the city to the west of the city, and the old prince is still worried that the girls can't stand the temperament of the son, which is not necessary at all. On the contrary, the unapproachable nature of their son can be liked by the girl, which is also puzzling.
The fifth child immediately shouted: "This ...... It's not suitable, no, no, I don't think the little doctor is suitable! โ
The patriarch glanced at him: "Don't you still suspect that the family is a doctor and has a low background?" If it weren't for her, Lao Jiu wouldn't know what to do now. โ
Lao Wu hurriedly said: "It's not a matter of origin. This, this, the marriage of the prince can't be too hasty, whether he is a man or a woman ......"
Lao Qi patted him: "No one has denied the identity of Miss Feng, how do you want to be sure." It is impossible for the little doctor to marry you, and you will have to doubt it for the rest of your life. โ
Lao Wu grabbed his hair and said hesitantly: "But if you don't find out earlier, and you won't find out until the prince is in the cave, what can I do?" The three joys of life are candle nights, and you can't do anything and be depressed! โ
A group of their martial artists are used to being open-mouthed on weekdays, and the patriarch and prince said loudly: "Okay, don't be rude." Lao Qi, you go out and bring a bowl of soup to see if you can feed Lao Jiu to drink. โ
Lao Qi went out in response, and after a while, he came back with a bowl of hot soup, handed it to Lao Wu to feed, and walked to the old prince and said: "Master, you must not have thought that Miss Feng is still a celebrity in Huaiqian City." I'm just talking to the soup kitchener
The patriarch said: "What did he say? โ
Lao Qi said: "It's all about Miss Feng's rescue, saying that she can save the dead, and she is so miraculous that she doesn't know whether it's true or not." By the way, do you remember that incident at the White Horse Temple? At that time, the big girl Feng was there, saying that she had cut a cut in a person's neck, and she saved that person. โ
"Was it then?" The patriarch touched his beard and said with a smile, "It's also fate." โ
Lao Qi hesitated: "But, master, I also found out that the eldest girl Feng said that she was Feng Yunfei's daughter." โ
"Feng Yunfei?" The patriarch was also stunned, "You're talking about the ...... of the Anguo Mansion."
"Feng Yunning, the wife of the Anguo Mansion, is Feng Yunfei's sister." Lao Qidao, "It is said that Miss Feng is still the eldest daughter of Feng Yunfei, because she has been weak since she was a child, so she was sent to her hometown to raise." I can't help but feel a little sorry when I say it.
He listened to the story of the big girl Feng saving people, and he also had a good impression of this girl with superb medical skills and decisive courage. If they can really marry their descendants, it will also be a good thing. The so-called marrying a woman and marrying a virtuous family and a prosperous house, Lao Qi did not feel that the medical woman who treated the sick and saved people was not worthy of the door of the Yuan Wangfu. Their prince married a fairy-like princess, but look at what kind of birds the two of them have tossed the palace into over the years. If it is a princess like Miss Feng, she will definitely make the Yuan Wangfu prosperous.
But it's a pity that she is actually the daughter of the Feng family.
The patriarch prince was also groaning, and after a while, he said: "If it is the daughter of the Feng family, then ...... We can only think in the long run. Saying that, he sighed, "How can such a child of Zhong Lingyuxiu be raised by those who climb power and attach nobility to the Feng family?" โ
"Miss Feng has been raised in Huaiqian since she was a child, and I'm afraid I haven't seen Feng Yunfei." Lao Qidao, "Her upbringing naturally comes from the elders of Huaiqian, maybe the Huaiqian Feng family is not as unbearable as the Feng family in the capital." โ
The patriarch nodded and put the matter aside for the time being.
Xiao Yu didn't know that his life experience had been discussed, and as soon as he returned to the mansion, he asked Bai Ling to take out two hundred taels of silver and hand it over to Doctor Qin.
"Our girl said that the old man's nephew will all rely on Dr. Qin." Bai Ling said crisply to Doctor Qin, who was standing outside the second gate, "The rest of the silver is also at the disposal of Doctor Qin, just as our girl is doing her part for those poor people." โ
Qin actually responded again and again, knowing that this was a piece of kindness from Miss Feng, so he didn't shirk it, and left with the silver.
Xiao Yu counted his remaining assets and lay on the table in a trance.
As soon as Bai Ling came in, he saw his appearance, and stepped forward and said, "Girl, it's all explained to Doctor Qin." Girl, what's wrong with you, what are you thinking? โ
How can I not be this Feng girl, Xiao Yu sighed slightly.
With Feng Yunning pressing on his head, even if he grows a beard one day, he has to shave it clean and then act as everyone's lady, not daring to let people find out. I don't know if the herbs that Feng Yunning has given Feng Zhaoyu for so long will be so effective that it will affect the development of this body......
Xiao Yu sighed in his heart, got up and said, "It's nothing, I'll go read a book for a while, you go and play with your brother." โ
Bai Ling answered and went out happily.
Zhou Zhao was exercising his right hand little by little at home according to the method instructed by Xiao Yu, but he saw his old son Zhou Chaoyi walking in from outside the door with his hands in his hands, and scolded angrily.
Zhou Zhao got up and poured him a cup of tea, handed it over and said, "Father." โ
Zhou Chaoyi nodded to him and glanced at his right hand: "How does your hand feel now?" โ
Zhou Zhao said: "I trained slowly according to the method explained by Miss Feng, and it was always getting better and better." โ
Zhou Chaoyi nodded and sighed: "Miss Feng is really a rare talent. Your hand was saved thanks to someone else, and we still have to find a chance to thank her. โ
Zhou Zhao paused, frowned, and said, "Didn't I ask my father to find a matchmaker to propose marriage?" โ
"What's the pro?!" Zhou Chaoyi's eyes widened, "It's all you, this kid, urging me to propose marriage, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law or what?!" I was scolded by Feng San's useless old thing, and this old face was lost for your family! โ
Zhou Zhao was puzzled: "But didn't the third old lady Feng say some time ago that he would let his son be responsible for the reputation of Miss Feng?" โ
"Who knows what that old thing was thinking, he's changed his mind again." Zhou Chaoyi sighed, "I originally thought that although such a woman was good, after all, she was a medical girl, and she was only afraid of being sorry for the ancestors of the Zhou family when she married to the Zhou family." But come to think of it, if this is the fate between you and Miss Feng, it's a pity to miss a child like Miss Feng. I didn't expect anyone to be one step ahead of me. โ
Zhou Zhao's slowly moving right hand paused: "Who is it?" โ
Zhou Chaoyi said: "It's Old Doctor Qin, and he also went to say goodbye to Miss Feng for his son." Speaking of which, isn't his son the little doctor Qin who has been taking care of you? โ
Zhou Zhao nodded, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he continued to move his right hand.
"But Old Doctor Qin was also rejected by the old horseman." Zhou Chaoyi slapped his palms and laughed, "It's not me who said, you can't look down on that old thing, and Doctor Qin can't look down on it, does he expect to marry this great-granddaughter to the prince's noble family?!" The good granddaughter Feng Yunning he raised is not a fuel-efficient lamp, don't bring such a good Feng girl to spoil! โ
Zhou Zhao ignored his father's words, and said for a while: "Since the Feng family rejected the proposal, we don't have to come to the door." Miss Feng is not an ordinary woman, she really doesn't need to set a lifelong event like this. After a pause, he said, "Father, Doctor Qin hasn't been here for a long time. You go back and bring a message to the Qin family and ask him to come on. โ
"Good!" Zhou Chaoyi responded happily, turned his head and thought about it and said, "Why do you want your Lao Tzu to bring you a message?!" You can't go on your own. Besides, you don't have all the right hands, what are you calling people to do?! โ
Zhou Zhao's face remained unchanged and said, "I'm not used to eating your cooking." โ
"Bastard boy!" Zhou Chaoyi casually threw the teacup over, Zhou Zhao didn't move at all, just raised his right hand lightly and held the cup in the palm of his hand.
Fengfu, the capital city.
This house is located in the best part of the capital, and it is also a five-entry house with a large garden. Such a location and a house of this scale is extremely rare in the capital where every inch of land is valuable, and it can be counted among the nobles of the family, who would have thought that its owner was just a small hospital sentence that had just entered Beijing from the countryside for more than ten years.
The front yard and back house of Fengfu are all built and arranged very elegantly, unlike other nouveau riche families who like to use gold and silver jewelry to show their confidence, but everywhere reveals exquisite wealth, which is no worse than the heritage of those century-old families.
Feng Yunfei lives in such a house every day, and after a long time, even he himself feels that he is such a rich and noble child of a family. Back then, the days when a small hospital was opened on the streets of Huaiqian City seemed to be a lifetime ago.
But these days, he had to clearly remember the name of "Huaiqian", which carried many past names for him, and thought about it all the time, pondering, and never dared to forget it for a moment.
The officials who impeached him didn't know where they knew about the past, and they were endlessly involved in the little things in his back house. It's just that the emperor didn't care about anything else, that is, he was very strict with the imperial doctor who asked him for pulse consultation every day, and he didn't dare to reuse the slightest stain, even if he had the pillow wind of the concubine, it was useless, and the emperor regarded his life as more important than anything else.
He sent a lot of fanfare back to Huaiqian to visit Feng Zhaoyu, originally he didn't expect to have much effect, and he had to go a few times in person, and even take Feng Zhaoyu back to the capital, so that the emperor could believe that he was really for the good of the child, so he sent him back to the old house to raise, instead of deliberately treating the daughter of his wife.
Unexpectedly, before he could continue to act, good news came from the old mansion frequently. He didn't expect Feng Zhaoyu to be so sensible, and he stood up and publicized his fatherly heart, so that the charges of impeachment against him were ruined. What could be more convincing evidence than Feng Zhaoyu's praise and admiration for him?!
Thinking of the people who impeached him when he went to court today, he was ridiculed by several colleagues and was speechless, Feng Yunfei couldn't help but become more and more proud, and strode towards the Ruoshui Courtyard in the back house.
"Madam, the master is here." The little maid waiting outside the room saw him, smiled and reported to Litong, lifted the cotton curtain and invited him in.
The beautiful woman who was embroidering on the embroidery stand in front of the window raised her head, looked at him indifferently, and then lowered her head and went on with the work in hand, as if she did not care about him at all.
Feng Yunfei had long been accustomed to Lu's attitude, and he leaned over and said with concern: "Why is Madam embroidering again, didn't she say that her eyes were not good a few days ago." If you don't have good eyes, you should rest well, why do you still work yourself so hard. โ
The embroidery under Lu's hands is not a common pattern such as flowers and plants or mandarin ducks playing in the water, but an embroidered image of a galloping horse, and under the small embroidery needle, it can also embroider a faint magnificent meaning.
"Madame still loves this galloping horse so much." Feng Yunfei admired himself, Lu Shi was still focused on his own business, and he didn't care about him.
Feng Yunfei sat aside, took the tea handed by the maid, sighed and continued: "Madam, my impeachment matter can finally be concluded, and the post of envoy of the court must be for the husband." I didn't expect Zhao Yu to be raised in Huaiqian for more than ten years, and he didn't have any sex with me at all. He said with great relief, as if he was a little moved.
Lu's hand flickered, and a thread was tied in the place. She cut off the thread carefully, and said softly without raising her head: "It should be the third brother and sister who teach well." โ
Feng Yunfei nodded and said, "You are right, this must be thanks to the third brother and sister." At that time, you let the third brother and the third brother and sister go back to raise Zhaoyu, I still thought it was inappropriate, but I didn't expect Mrs. to be prescient. โ
The corners of Lu's lips twitched slightly: "It is the concubine's duty to share worries for the master." โ
Feng Yunfei fell in love with her appearance that seemed to be cold and close to him, waved the maid in the room, walked to Lu's side by himself, and shook her hand.
"Madam, don't embroider this Rausch. If you like it, I'll ask the embroiderer to embroider a hundred different galloping pictures of horses for you, why bother yourself like this. โ
Lu Shi lowered his eyelashes, avoided his hand, and said, "Master, didn't you say that you wanted to take Zhao Yu back, but what about now?" โ
Feng Yunfei frowned and thought for a moment. The Lu family didn't know Feng Zhaoyu's identity, but he was an ordinary daughter, but he was clear. Now that his troubles have been solved, how dare he take Feng Zhaoyu back to Beijing. In case something happens, and then the old things of the year are exposed, it doesn't matter to him, Feng Yunning is just afraid that he will be in trouble.
"That's it, Zhao Yu is used to being in Huaiqian, and there are three brothers and sisters taking care of him over there. He has been weak since he was a child, so he will no longer toss him. โ
Lu Shi was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing that Feng Yunfei came to grab the needle and thread in her hand again, Lu got up and walked to the side, and said, "Master, someone came in with a post in the morning, saying that he was looking for you. You better go to the study and have a look, don't delay your business. โ
When Feng Yunfei heard this, he could only stop, and stood up and walked to the door with a sigh, Lu Shi's footsteps gently sent him out of the door, and said with a slight smile: "Go." โ
Feng Yunfei had no choice but to walk towards the front yard. Lu walked back into the house and took out a letter from under the embroidery frame.
It was a letter written to her by Zheng, and it had been delayed for too long on the way, but she didn't expect it to reach her now.
The person who sent the message to Feng Yunfei naturally only reported it, only saying that Feng Zhaoyu praised him and broke the opponent's slander against him, as for Feng Zhaoyu's dissatisfaction and accusations against Zheng and others, Feng Yunfei did not know at all.
This is what Lu is most concerned about.
Unexpectedly, that Feng Zhaoyu actually took advantage of Feng Yunfei's opportunity to seek an official position, and took advantage of his strength to knock down the Zheng family in one fell swoop, making the Zheng family powerless.
How old is she? It's Zheng's deliberate upbringing, how can he understand such a method?
Wise and close to demons.
Lu Shi seemed to see the baby looking at her with a pair of bright eyes, there was no ignorance in those eyes, the kind of eyes that seemed to be able to see through a qiฤ, with a look of scouting and contempt, which did not belong to a baby......
"Someone." Lu Shi whispered outside.
No matter when, her voice is always so cold, gentle and gentle, she is a cold beauty famous in the capital back then, and there will never be a trace of gaffe.
The personal maid hurriedly walked in and listened to the instructions.
Lu Shi said: "Let people get into the carriage, I will go to the Anguo Mansion to see the Duchess of Guo." โ
The maid went out in response, and a young girl suddenly came in outside the door.
The girl took off her azure cloak and walked up to Lu Shi to hold him, and looked at the picture of the horse with the same apricot eyes as Lu Shi, and said with a smile: "Mother's embroidery is becoming more and more exquisite, and these horses seem to be coming out of the painting." โ
Lu Shi faced his biological daughter, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face: "Lin'er, why did you come alone?" What about your maids? โ
"It's only a few steps to the left and right, why bother with them coming and going, if you have this time, you can let them go and rest by themselves." The girl smiled, "By the way, I heard that the eldest brother has already set off to return to Beijing, and he will be back in the next two days." Did my mother have someone to clean up my big brother's yard? I had just gotten a few pots of chrysanthemums there, and they were blooming just right, and my mother asked them to take one from me every day, insert it into a bottle brightly, and send it to my eldest brother's house. When he came back, he knew that we were thinking about him all the time. โ
Lu said: "It's been cleaned up a long time ago." At your young age, how can you have so many hearts that can't be finished. โ
Feng Zhaolin lowered her head and smiled, and said softly: "The eldest brother has been back to his hometown for so long, and now he naturally has to be more careful, so that the eldest brother has to feel like going home." lest the eldest brother feel that it is not good to be divided......"
Lu Shi touched Feng Zhaolin's hair and chuckled silently.
There has been another big event in Huaiqian City recently.
The patriarch came to Huaiqian quietly, and suddenly played the banner of the Yuan Palace, which frightened everyone.
The first generation of the head of the Yuan Wangfu was the one who fought the world with the โกโก Emperor, and the two were like brothers and sisters, and the enemy could not separate the two of them even if they tried all kinds of tricks, and the โกโก Emperor even wanted to sit with his brothers to enjoy the country. After being dismissed, he was given the title of hereditary prince, and he was given the word king side by side, so that he could sit on an equal footing with the emperor.
Now after hundreds of years, the friendship between the Yuan Wangfu and the royal family is naturally not as good as the ancestors, but the title of the Yuan Wangfu is still high โกโก the ground.
Therefore, the old prince of the Yuan Palace's mansion actually appeared in Huaiqian, which can naturally be regarded as a major event in Huaiqian City. The prefect Li Fangming took the local officials out of the city to greet him and welcomed the patriarch into the prefect's yamen.
