Chapter 31: Take it back
"It's time to ask for it back."
Feng Zhenxian thought of Feng Rongrong's ambition in the big house and praised it with a smile, after all, she would never marry into a family as a concubine, and don't think about those dowries, even so, it is better to ask for it back and seal it, and in the future, she can get some out when she can't get married.
Feng Shuxian thought about what her mother told her about the scene when Feng Songxian got married, and her heart was hot, and she agreed: "It's very deserved, the third sister hasn't had a good life in the family, why should our Feng family's dowry still have to stay in the family, and those heartless things are cheaper." ”
The two of them had similar ideas, and the two of them also knew that the old lady was angry now, so they didn't go over to meet her eyes, and said a few words to Peony and went back.
only said that Feng Rongrong went to the house of Princess Jinyang's henchman with the consent of her mother-in-law, first explained her intentions, and then gave some silver taels, begging those people to tell the princess, saying that she was willing to go with her to serve the princess, and asked the princess not to forget the things that she had told her earlier.
After finishing this matter, Feng Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief, full of fantasies about what it would be like to go to the princess of Chengguo in the future.
Back to the Rongwei Hou Mansion, Feng Rongrong first went to her mother-in-law Zhao to say goodbye, and Zhao said a few words, and was sent out by Zhao, and when she returned to her house, she saw the small and simple room, and then looked at the shabby girls who served her, Feng Rongrong's heart was suddenly fired, and she called someone to serve tea for a while, and the tea that was sent was actually made from tea leaves, Feng Rongrong threw the teapot on the ground with a flick of her hand, and the tea was wet, and the skirts of several girls were wet.
"Look at me, I'm a bully, right?" Feng Rongrong said hatefully: "Wait, when I get the momentum, you can see it." ”
Her eldest girl was given by the Zhao family, and she was the daughter of the Zhao family, and she was a little proud in front of the Zhao family, and at this time she shook the wet skirt and sneered: "Where did the girl get such a big anger, and I didn't have any strength with us who were slaves, which girl was so indecent and pointed at the slave how powerful it was, and the girl was just a concubine, I don't want to find a good one in this life, and where did I get the momentum." ”
After counting Feng Rongrong, the girl went out to find clothes to change, leaving Feng Rongrong panting breathlessly.
It's no wonder that Feng Rongrong wants to go to the Chengguo Mansion wholeheartedly, and would rather be a concubine than enter the legendary rich nest, her situation in the Rongwei Hou Mansion is really not good, she is often rubbed by the Zhao family, not to mention, and the food and clothing are also the second, plus Feng Rongrong also knows that the Rongwei Hou Mansion is not in a good situation now, that is, the big house is also short of silver, if she doesn't think of a way, the Zhao family will have to sell her for silver, and at that time, won't she have nowhere to tell her grievances.
Feng Rongrong once inquired about the Chengguo Mansion, knowing that Cheng Ping'an has a good temperament, and is also very tolerant of the concubine, and is the most indistinguishable master of the wife and concubine, if she marries Cheng Ping'an as a wife, she is afraid that she will be wronged, but if she goes to the Chengguo Mansion as a concubine, then she will be at ease, she thinks that with her appearance and the shadow left by the previous third aunt, if it passes, she will definitely be able to get a little value, wouldn't it be better than asking the Zhao family to sell it to the merchant's house.
It's just that Feng Rongrong's idea is really good, but she doesn't want Princess Jinyang to have no movement for several days, and after five or six days, Feng Rongrong was in a hurry before a little girl came over and said a few words in her ear, and Feng Rongrong was furious for a while.
But it turned out that Princess Jinyang sent someone to Feng Rongrong to say that she had not promised Feng Rongrong anything, and she was a princess, and she was not an ordinary woman, no matter where she married, no one dared to give her no face, and there was no need to take a vine concubine to be a solid favor, Feng Rongrong said that it was really wishful thinking to be the concubine she married.
With these words, Feng Rongrong's eyes turned black, suppressed her anger and called the girl down, and suddenly threw herself on the bed and died for a long time without moving.
If the people next to her rebelled and said that they were going to come to the door according to Feng Rongrong's temperament, or there were some rumors, but it was Princess Jinyang, she just wanted to see it, and there was no way to see it, let alone the door, the princess lived in the palace, and she couldn't even enter the palace gate......
The more Feng Rongrong thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and for a while she thought of her unpredictable future, and couldn't help crying.
On this day, Wu looked at the days of going to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and asked Ji Songxian to pack his bags tightly, Ji Songxian already knew earlier, and he had already packed up, seeing that Wu was busy packing things, he looked at the sky and asked Wu for instructions, saying that he wanted to go out for a walk.
Wu didn't restrain her, but only told her to bring someone and be careful when she went out.
Ji Songxian agreed and changed his clothes to go out, called around Liang and called Uncle Wu to drive out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he went out to distinguish the direction, he commanded Uncle Wu to drive the car all the way south.
When he arrived in a remote alley in the west of the city, the car couldn't get in, Ji Songxian got out of the car and went to the innermost family with a detour of the beam, and knocked on the door for a long time before an old man opened the door and took a look: "This lady, are you here?" ”
"My sister asked me to come and see if the wisteria flowers under the flower pavilion porch are blooming." Ji Songxian said with a smile, and the old man's eyes immediately lit up and opened the door: "Lady, come in, come in." ”
Ji Songxian took Huanliang into the door, sent the old man to take care of himself, she entered the second door, and went around to the east wing room at one time, called Huanliang to guard outside, she went in, found a box in a dark pavilion, according to the method that Song had taught her to open the box, and saw that it was full of silver tickets and salt and the deed of ownership, Ji Songxian first found out the deed of the house and hid it, went out with the box, and went into a small attic at the third entrance.
Still called around the beam to guard, Ji Songxian went into the room on the first floor and counted the floor tiles, counted eleven bricks from the left, and then smiled when he counted the second brick from bottom to top, squatted down and took the brick away, reached in and fished out a key for a while, and then restored the brick to its original state, went to the second floor to find the dark pavilion again, and took out the objects inside after opening it.
When she came out, Huanliang was in a hurry, Ji Songxian smiled at her, handed over a few boxes to Huanliang and hurried out, and said a few words to the old man, only asking him to guard, saying that the main family would come to inspect the house in a few days, and left two silver taels for the old man, which was considered a reward for his excellent work.
The old man is a lonely old man, who had received the favor of the Song family before, and voluntarily came here to guard the property for the Song family, he saw Ji Songxian's very familiar appearance after entering the door, and he didn't need to bring it himself everywhere to find it, and he knew that she must have been entrusted by the Song family, and had seen the pattern of the house painted by the Song family, and he was also relieved of Ji Songxian, and said with a smile: "The lady just rest assured, the little old man will definitely do his best." ”
Ji Songxian nodded: "You can also take this silver, clean up the house, don't be desolate and grow grass, where it should be repaired, it will be repaired." ”
The old man didn't shirk and accepted the money and thanked him, Ji Songxian went out to meet Uncle Wu as usual, and waited to get into the carriage and look at Liang Liang with a puzzled look and knocked on Liang Liang's head: "How to talk to the old lady about this matter today, don't hide it." ”
Ji Songxian also knew that she couldn't hide it if she wanted to, she had already thought of her words, so she dared to come out.
Uncle Wu shouted outside the carriage: "Girl, where are we going here?" Do you want to go back or take a walk outside? ”
Ji Songxian thought about it and smiled: "I heard that Sister-in-law Song's fish is very good, and the baked cakes next to her family are also unique, so let's go buy some and go back to my father and mother to try them." ”
Uncle Wu smiled: "What the girl said is that the master likes the fish of Sister-in-law Song's house the most, and the uncle also loves everyone's baked cakes, and the small pickles of HSBC Ju taste good, so it is not far away, so the girl might as well buy some and take them back to share the points." ”
"There's Uncle Wu." Ji Songxian responded with a smile.
For a while, Uncle Wu drove the car and walked to the northeast, to bypass the Wende Bridge, stop at Dazhong Street, here are mostly business travelers, there are many food stalls inside, Ji Songxian walked all the way down, only to see that the street was crowded with people, and each dressed neatly and neatly, the people walked on the street with a smile on their faces, and there were shouts of small business, a peaceful and prosperous scene.
Nodding, Ji Songxian said with a smile: "This Jinling City is indeed prosperous, I see that the people are living well, many people are envious of the people in Jinling City, people from other places try their best to come to see the world, and the people in the next place actually gave the Jinling people a nickname to the people, I don't know why, now I see this scene, and then think about it, the people live a leisurely life, and think about the former father said that the moat outside the city should be repaired, The government bid for 200 wen a day, and the people of Jinling City were too hard to work, so they had to hire people from the side to repair it. ”
Huan Liang, who said it for a while, also laughed: "The slave doesn't know what to doom the people or not, and the slave only knows that today's life is like being in heaven." ”
The master and servant were talking, but the carriage stopped suddenly, and Ji Songxian almost hit it with a sigh, but she was still in a hurry to support her.
Wrapping the curtain around the beam and asking Uncle Wu, he only heard Uncle Wu say: "Girl, there is a rich family living on this street, does the girl of the He family, a medicine merchant, know?" ”
The He family?
Ji Songxian thought for a while and smiled: "It turned out to be his family, how is his family?" ”
Uncle Wu smiled: "His family has been grinding for several years, and finally he is going to marry a county lord into the door, no, Ming'er will marry him, and now the old man is happy, and he has set up a shed outside the door to put money, and anyone who comes to say an auspicious word will have a red envelope into the account." ”
"The slave also went to ask for a red envelope." When Liang heard this, he was a little eager to try, and Uncle Wu smiled: "Then you go, I will guard the girl." ”
Ji Songxian also waved his hand: "It's also an auspicious thing, you just have to go." ”
Huan Liang smiled and agreed, jumped out of the carriage and ran away cheering, Ji Songxian saw that she was so easily satisfied, thinking that this child was loyal, but he also laughed.
