In addition, happy Christmas, dear friends, although I can't do it this festival~
In the spring of the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, there seemed to be still the liveliness of the Shangyuan night on the Shili Lotus Embankment, but the scale of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion that passed here early in the morning could be regarded as a huge convoy, but it did not feel the scenery of last night at all.
Because it was a family into Beijing, plus the servants who followed, the number was already hundreds, even if the guards and male servants were all riding horses, and the women were riding in more than a dozen carriages with luggage.
Such a momentum is naturally extremely eye-catching.
The convoy of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion leaving Huzhou slowly arrived at the city gate under the attention of many people.
The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion left very suddenly, as if it had come suddenly.
For the return of the family of the Marquis of Weiyuan to Beijing, some people are reluctant, some people regret it, but more than that, they are envious.
In the eyes of many people, even after 20 years, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was still remembered by the emperor, and he specially issued an order to summon the Fenglin family back to Beijing, which is undoubtedly a great grace.
The capital, this is the place that many people dream of, in the root of the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, a place where you can smash a five-rank official by throwing a stone, and a place where you can see the person at the top of the Dawu Dynasty.
In the hearts of many people, when the Fenglin family returned to the capital, it must be that the current emperor is ready to reuse him.
Such a good thing, the scholars in Huzhou really can't envy it.
Under the watchful eyes of these many people, the convoy of the Marquis of Weiyuan gradually left Huzhou City, which had been rooted for 20 years, with wind and snow.
In the second carriage, Feng Zhige rode in the same car with Mama Li and Banxia Fufeng.
Fufeng lifted the curtain and glanced back at Huzhou City, which was standing quietly in the wind and snow, and said disdainfully: "Master, it is cheaper than those people in the side branches of the Han family." β
Banxia and Fufeng have been coming to Luoshuixuan for more than six years, and although they don't know everything about Feng Zhige, they have learned a lot about Mama Li for so many years.
They didn't know that Feng Zhige had a previous life. But he knew that Feng Ming Pavilion and Feng Yi Xuan had already belonged to the master six years ago, and for those who coveted Feng Zhige's things, they naturally didn't have a good reputation.
The side branches of the Han family wanted to reach out and pick the two heavy fruits of Feng Ming Pavilion and Feng Yi Xuan, but Feng Zhige was already ready to deal with them. But they didn't expect the holy decree from the capital to come so quickly, and they were already about to leave for Beijing before they started to act.
There are no outsiders here, and Mama Li, who usually looks strict and rigid, is also a little more relaxed on her face, she stretched out her hand and knocked heavily on the head of Fufeng. "I've been with my master for so many years, and I'm still in this quick temper, my master has left Huzhou, which doesn't mean that those people in the side branches of the Han family can get better."
Feng Zhige chuckled when he heard this.
The convoy gradually moved away in the wind and snow, and the Huzhou City behind it gradually turned into an inconspicuous little black spot.
Not long after Feng Zhige and the others left, the side branches of the Han family in Huzhou City ushered in blows from all sides, whether it was the business in the clan or the talented students in the clan who were regarded as hopes, they all suffered losses from different Cheng DΓΉ.
Before the Huzhou Han family's plan to attack Feng Ming Pavilion and Feng Yixuan could really be started, they were anxious to take care of themselves, waiting for them to come to their senses. It had already hurt their vitality, how could they dare to make a move against Feng Ming Pavilion and Feng Yi Xuan.
Of course, that's all for later.
Feng Zhige held the hand stove in his hand, and a gust of cold wind blew the thick curtain of the car up a corner, and a few snowflakes took advantage of the situation to float into the carriage and landed on Feng Zhige, and then melted into a little water stain because of the warmth of her hands.
After 26 years of absence from the capital, she finally wants to go back.
β¦β¦
More than a month later, a convoy from afar arrived outside the Yongding Gate of the capital.
The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is a first-class family in Huzhou, and these subordinates in the mansion can be regarded as having seen a lot of the world in Huzhou. But the first time I came to the capital, I only looked at the city gate that I didn't know how much stronger than Huzhou from a distance, and I felt a little amazed and afraid of the capital in my heart.
When they learned that the capital was divided into an outer city, an inner city, an imperial city, and a palace city, and that the place where they were now was only the outermost outer city. The look of wonder in everyone's eyes was even greater.
In the amazement of many servants and maids, the convoy of the Marquis of Weiyuan entered the Yongding Gate and passed the Zhengyang Gate all the way, which was considered to have entered the inner city.
The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion has been away from Beijing for twenty years, and many people under the age of twenty have no impression of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion at all, even if they are elderly. The mention of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion is only a little impression.
But since the rumor spread throughout the capital, the sense of existence of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion has increased a lot overnight, not to mention the holy decree after that.
Why there is such a holy decree, the people of the capital also discussed it for a long time, and the most popular one is that the emperor summoned the Marquis of Weiyuan to return to Beijing in order to clarify the previous rumors.
After all, as soon as the people from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion return to Beijing, as soon as the real Weiyuan Marquis Lady appears, won't the rumors about the eldest princess of Qingping as a concubine be self-defeating?
But there are also people who think more deeply and have other ideas, what was circulated in the capital before was just a rumor, and the people were in awe of the royal family with curiosity, and there were fewer rumors about the royal family over the years? If this rumor is untrue, the royal family doesn't have to pay attention to it at all, and it won't be long before people's attention turns to other topics, but the emperor deliberately made such a decree......
The deep meaning of this is really hard for people to think about too much.
In short, under the thoughts of many people, as soon as the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion entered the capital, it attracted the attention of many people, and when the convoy of the Hou Mansion passed through the Zhiweixuan in the capital, the powerful people who were more well-informed had already gotten the news.
At the door of Zhiweixuan, a black horse stopped from movement to quiet, and a man wearing a fur coat turned over neatly and dismounted.
At that time, the convoy of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion was passing by.
It was already late February, and the weather was gradually getting warmer, but the cold wind was still blowing on the people's bodies, and this gust of wind only made the big wind on the man's body move slightly, but it opened a gap in the curtain of the carriage in which Feng Zhige was riding.
The man turned his head to meet another pair of bright eyes in the small slit.
In just a moment, the curtain lifted by the wind fell quietly, and the train fleet gradually moved away.
In the carriage, Feng Zhige withdrew his eyes. Because of the sudden swelling of laughter in his heart, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he smiled a little.
The time for the Marquis of Weiyuan to enter Beijing was very tight, so almost all of the way was braved by wind and snow. It is conceivable that everyone must have never had a good rest, and now, if it weren't for the excitement of finally reaching the destination, I'm afraid that the majority of people would look listless.
Because of this, Feng Zhige's smile and obviously happy expression at this time were particularly prominent.
Both Mama Li and Banxia Fufeng confirmed that nothing had happened to make Feng Zhige laugh. So Banxia was puzzled: "What funny thing did the master think of?" β
The smile on Feng Zhige's lips deepened, but he shook his head: "It's okay." β
At the entrance of Zhiweixuan, the man on horseback kept watching the convoy of the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion gradually moving away, and did not retract his gaze until he could no longer see it.
Then, seemingly casually, he raised his hand to his shoulder, and successfully held the hand that was about to tap on the shoulder.
Wen Yue, who wanted to be scary but was recognized, complained dissatisfiedly: "Abei, do you have eyes behind you?" Then he looked at Xiao Jingbei's line of sight, but only saw the tail of the train fleet, so he pouted, "That's the convoy of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, right?" β
Xiao Jingbei didn't answer. Strode into Zhiweixuan, not letting Wen Yue see his gently raised lips.
β¦β¦
After returning to the capital after 20 years, just to settle the people and luggage who entered Beijing from Huzhou was enough for Mu Qingwan to be busy from the moment he landed until late at night.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already written a letter to the old servant guarding the mansion in the capital in advance, I am afraid that the Hou Mansion would have to be cleaned inside and out before these were placed.
The old servant who watched the house, Lao Weiyuan, had been serving in the Hou Mansion when he was alive, and he knew a little about the entanglement between Feng Lin, Mu Qingwan and Zhao Youjun.
The old man in his mouth is, of course, the old Marquis Wei Yuan.
Since Fenglin was in charge, he moved to Huzhou. The house in the capital has been vacant for 20 years, and if it weren't for the fact that this old servant regularly repairs the house every year, I'm afraid this house doesn't know what it will look like.
The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in Huzhou covers an extremely wide area, but it is still not as good as the Marquis Mansion in the capital.
In the capital of every inch of land. The Hou Mansion is still so spacious, which makes the servants and maids who followed into Beijing with them feel a burst of amazement in their hearts.
After finishing up the afternoon, I had a simple dinner with the rice and noodles that the old servant had bought in advance, and both the master and the subordinates fell asleep.
Feng Zhige's residence, Liuyun Pavilion, is a spacious courtyard with a two-story embroidery building, the maids and women live in the downstairs room, and Feng Zhige lives alone on the second floor.
Speaking of branch yards. There was a lot of noise in the afternoon.
Feng Zhige was assigned to Liuyun Pavilion, but Feng Mingwu was arranged by Mu Qingwan to a relatively remote courtyard, although the area is not small, but it is not enough to compare with Liuyun Pavilion.
Feng Mingwu was born since he was born, whether it is food, clothing or shelter, it is the best, at this time, seeing that his residence is not as good as Feng Zhige's, he thinks that he has been wronged, not only refusing to let the maids and daughters-in-law put their luggage in the yard, but also broke all the way to Mu Qingwan, who is on the board, and asked Mu Qingwan in front of many people in the house.
Of course, Feng Mingwu's so-called questioning failed to overturn Mu Qingwan's decision.
Since taking back the right to give back in Huzhou, Mu Qingwan's temperament has been much stronger than before, and this strength has undoubtedly become more obvious after stepping into the capital.
In the face of Feng Mingwu's accusation, Mu Qingwan said this at the time: "The rules of the Hou Mansion are like this, the concubine lives alone in a courtyard, and the concubine lives in a courtyard together. Zhige is a concubine, of course she can live in the embroidery building, if it weren't for the fact that there is only one concubine in the house, the second girl would have to live in a courtyard with other concubines! β
As soon as he finished saying this, Feng Mingwu's face was hot, and the subordinates present were all dumbfounded.
How the second girl was favored by Zhao Youjun in Huzhou, these people can see it clearly, but now they know that the second girl is just a concubine, the lady who used to call herself Mrs. Weiyuan......
You must know that today's lady has been locked up in Luoshuixuan by that lady in Huzhou for so many years.
You don't have to think about it to know that when you are in Huzhou, the Hou Mansion will be like that, and there must be something hidden between the masters that they shouldn't know.
Everyone knows that the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion was not a nobody in the capital back then, but now that she has returned to the capital, she is still the lady in charge, and she still breaks the identity of the second girl's concubine in front of so many people. Does it mean that Mrs. Zhao, no, should be called Aunt Zhao now. Aunt Zhao and the second girl have no room to turn over?
Many people only felt a faint white sweat on their backs.
Especially those who had been thinking about waiting for Zhao Youjun to turn over, they were even more glad in their hearts that they didn't do anything to anger Madame, and since then they have been even more desperate to do what Mu Qingwan told them not to mention.
It was late at night, and there was only Feng Zhige on the second floor of Liuyun Pavilion, and the people waiting around her were all sent down by her to rest.
Feng Zhige's work and rest time has always been regular. If it was usual, she was afraid that she would have already fallen asleep at this time, but tonight, she was leaning on the head of the bed alone with the brocade quilt, holding a book in her hand and slowly flipping through it.
The carved and hollow windows were ajar, and from time to time there was a chilly wind that entered the house, but fortunately, the charcoal basin was burning in the house, and Feng Zhige was covered with a brocade quilt, but he didn't feel cold.
After a long time, Feng Zhige glanced at the window. Then he put down the book in his hand and held the thing at the head of the bed in his hand.
It is a jade unicorn carefully carved from a whole piece of beautiful jade, the carving is good, the carved unicorn is not only lifelike, but also full of majesty between the demeanor. The jade quality is obviously also of the highest quality, even in this cold night, the tentacles still feel warm.
Playing with the jade unicorn in his hand, Feng Zhige suddenly said as if talking to himself: "Since you have already come, why don't you come in?" β
In response to her, there was a room of silence.
And then. The tree in the courtyard suddenly moved, and a black shadow tapped a few times along the branch that touched the window of Feng Zhige's room, and then jumped into the room through the half-open window.
Feng Zhige turned his head and looked at the person.
Xu showed that he didn't want to be that kind of gentleman. The person who came did not wear a black robe that was not easy to show traces, but a brocade cotton robe of azure color after the rain, the collar and cuffs were surrounded by white fox armpit hair, the brocade robe was covered with brocade dark lines, the waist was tied with a dark silver inlaid jade thick brocade belt, and a white fur was draped outside.
This outfit. It's not like going to someone's house in the middle of the night to visit at night, but it's more like coming to visit in the open during the day.
The man in his twenties is already handsome and extraordinary, but he is not only dressed rigidly on weekdays, but he is also very cold and stiff, and even the color of ten points has been reduced by five points.
At this time, wearing this noble body, his innate nobility was fully revealed.
If you ask the ladies in the capital who regard it as a cold hard stone that does not understand the amorous style, I don't know how many girls in the boudoir will have spring since then.
The person who came was of course Xiao Jingbei, the son of Anguo.
The corners of Feng Zhige's lips couldn't help but rise.
After Zhiweixuan and Xiao Jingbei looked at each other through the curtain, the unfinished smile was finally all on their faces at this time.
Compared with the young man who fell calmly in a pool of blood back then, Xiao Jingbei's face has not changed much now, he is much more resolute than then, and the only thing that has not changed is the cold aura on his body.
Of course, these are not the reasons that make Feng Zhige laugh.
She was just thinking, when she saw Xiao Jingbei again, where did the mood of "my family has a man grow up" come from?
Thinking like this, Feng Zhige laughed out loud.
The laughter that seemed a little abrupt in the quiet night made Xiao Jingbei raise his eyebrows slightly, and a little puzzlement quickly flashed in his eyes, which had always been rare, and then, he looked at Feng Zhige, who was smiling happily, and asked suspiciously: "You're not afraid?" β
Before being broken by Feng Zhige, Xiao Jingbei always thought that his deeds were well hidden, but he didn't expect to be recognized by Feng Zhige.
Moreover, Feng Zhige's reaction after seeing him was obviously not what he expected.
Generally speaking, if the ladies in the boudoir are broken into the boudoir by a man in the middle of the night, even if they are not so shocked that they faint immediately, at least they have to scream a few times, why is Feng Zhige not only calm, but also laughing?
Feng Zhige also raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I'll be afraid?" β
Xiao Jingbei was silent, remembering more than six years ago, the night when he was the most seriously injured in the assassination over the years, Feng Zhige, who was only seven or eight years old at the time, didn't care about the blood stained on his skirt, and looked at him quietly when he fell to the ground, and felt that his problem was very stupid.
That kind of scene didn't change the calm on the face of the girl in front of her, how could she scream and fear like an ordinary boudoir daughter because of her arrival?
So, he changed the question: "You know I'm coming?" β
If this is not the case, how can he break his existence in one word.
"I guess." Feng Zhi's words were filled with an unmelted smile.
Xiao Jingbei didn't talk much, it was already rare to be able to say these few words, and he didn't know what he should say at this time, so he stood quietly and silently in the farthest corner of this room from Feng Zhige's bed.
In fact, although he was already standing here, Xiao Jingbei himself couldn't explain why he came here tonight.
Six years ago in Huzhou, if Feng Zhige hadn't saved him, I'm afraid there would be no one in the world after that night. Today at the door of Zhiweixuan, although he only glanced at those eyes through the car curtain, but with that glance, Xiao Jingbei knew that it must be the girl who had the grace of life for him back then.
He knew that it was the people of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion who saved him in the first place, but he didn't even know her name.
So, when he came back to his senses, he had already entered the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, and with his innate intuition, he climbed onto the tree in the courtyard of Liuyun Pavilion.
Xiao Jingbei didn't know what made him come here, but the rare peace in his heart made him subconsciously move his steps and leave. (To be continued.) )
