Chapter 34 Conventions
Lu Xuan spoke, his eyes did not leave the girl's face.
Feng Cheng lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, and said softly, "I also doubted. β
To the world, her in-laws are the closest relatives, and it takes courage to admit that her grandfather's family harmed her. You must know that when the children of a married girl have a dispute with the family, the uncle can stand up for the child.
Hearing her say this, Lu Xuan had no worries and asked, "Did Miss Feng see your cousin after she came back?" β
Feng Cheng shook his head: "I haven't seen it yet." β
Lu Xuan took a sip of tea and said, "It's better to see you as soon as possible." Even if your cousin has a problem, it's not something she can do as a girl. β
By now, things have become very clear, and someone secretly attacked Miss Feng and her second brother, creating the illusion that they had eloped, so as to calculate that the Guogong Mansion and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion were in trouble.
There is no clue about the disappearance of the second brother so far, but there are some clues on Miss Feng's side, which is why he is in a hurry to see her.
Listening to Lu Xuan's words, Feng Cheng was silent.
Lu Xuan is right, even if it was her cousin who designed her to appear there, there must be someone else who really dealt with the murderer behind the scenes.
That should be the elder of Youfu.
Thinking of this answer, Feng Cheng's heart hurt like a pinprick.
"Miss Feng, can you tell me about your grandfather's family?"
Feng Cheng pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
"My grandfather died young, and my grandmother brought up a pair of children. Now the owner of the house is my grandmother, uncle, aunt, cousin and cousin......"
Lu Xuan quietly listened to Feng Cheng talk about the situation in Youfu and asked, "What do you think can most impress your grandmother, uncle, and aunt?" β
Feng Cheng was stunned for a moment.
The young man's tone was light: "Being able to attack my granddaughter is not a small profit after all." β
Feng Cheng fell into memory.
Originally, this conspiracy was successful, but since the grandfather's family was involved, what was the biggest change?
The biggest and good change - Feng Cheng thought seriously and trembled his eyes.
The first thing that came to her mind was her cousin.
This year is the triennial year of autumn, and in a few months, my cousin will be gone, so that You Mansion will usher in a great event.
Ten years of hard work, there are very few people who can be named on the gold list, and it is a great joy for any family, especially for Youfu.
She had the impression that her cousin's qualifications were mediocre, not to mention that he was raised at the age of seventeen, and even at the age of thirty-seven, it was unexpected.
To put it bluntly, my cousin is just at the level of Xiucai.
But his cousin is famous, but his famous brother lost his qualification for the scientific examination because of his mother's death.
Such an unexpected development was enough to impress her.
So is my cousin's middle move related to the current thing, or is it just a matter of luck?
Feng Cheng couldn't be sure.
"Can't think of it?" Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Lu Xuan asked.
Isn't he a little too strong?
The boy thought secretly.
Under the light, the girl's palm-sized face was as pale as snow, showing a little pitiful.
The young man felt a little guilty, and opened his mouth and said, "If you can't think of it, forget it, I'll check it again." β
Feng Cheng came back to his senses, although he couldn't be sure, he didn't want to let go of any possibility: "If you say that what can impress your grandmother the most should be fame." β
"Fame?"
"Yes. My maternal grandfather and my grandfather were fellow scholars and had similar temperaments, which led to my parents' relationship. My grandfather was born in a poor family, and his family background was worse than that of his grandfather's family, and later his career was smooth and rising, but his grandfather died young, which led to the decline of the Youfu family. For her grandmother, she is most looking forward to her uncle's title on the gold list and the glory of the lintel. β
"Then your uncleβ"
Feng Cheng smiled bitterly: "My uncle didn't even pass the Xiucai exam, so my grandmother put her hope on my cousin." It's a pity that my cousin is also mediocre, and I don't worry about my grandmother in addition. β
Lu Xuan listened silently, his fingers tapping on the table.
A pair became their sons and daughters in the same year, and watched their in-laws become six scholars, and their own family declined because of the early death of their pillars, and the worse they were, the farther they went.
And obviously the two started from the same starting point at the beginning, and even the You family can help more.
For Mrs. You, looking forward to the success of her children and grandchildren may have become an obsession.
In fact, not to mention the situation of the You family, if you put it in anyone's family, who doesn't look forward to their children and grandchildren jumping into the dragon gate.
"I'll look back at that. However, in order not to go in the wrong direction in the investigation, Miss Feng still met with your cousin as soon as possible to test her reaction. β
Feng Cheng thought for a while and said, "I want to test my cousin's reaction, and I want Grand Master Lu to do me a favor." β
"You say."
The open window let in the wind, and the flower cat, which had eaten enough small dried fish, wagged its tail lazily.
After the two of them finished talking about business, the room fell silent for a while.
Lu Xuan glanced at Laifu and said with a smile: "In a few days, this cat has gained a lot of weight." β
The cat slanted at him and swaggered away.
Lu Xuan got up: "I'm sorry for today." β
Seeing that he was leaving, Feng Cheng couldn't help but say, "Master Lu, should we decide how we will meet in the future?" β
Lu Xuan nodded after realizing it: "Miss Feng is right, it should be fixed." β
Climbing the wall of Shangshufu is not a long-term solution.
"I see that there is a willow tree outside the gate of your house that grows well, and if I have anything to do with you in the future, I will order someone to quietly tie a green belt on the willow branch. You send someone to take a look every morning, and if you see the Green Belt, you meet at the Qingxin Teahouse across the street. If you do the same, I'll arrange for someone to come and see you every morning. What does Miss Feng think? β
Feng Cheng thought about it carefully and asked: "There are hidden dangers in this method. What if someone stares at me and finds a clue and follows your example and coaxes me to the teahouse with a green belt? β
"That shouldn't be the case anytime soon."
In the long run, when the whereabouts of the second brother are found out, he will still see what Miss Feng is doing.
But since the other party is worried, it's better to be cautious.
"We agreed on a special marker on the green belt. After your people get the Green Belt back, you make sure the mark on the Green Belt with your own eyes before going to the teahouse. β
Feng Cheng nodded, and asked again: "What if there is an emergency?" β
The corners of Lu Xuan's mouth twitched slightly: "If I am in a hurry, I will climb over the wall." If you are in a hurry, you can directly send someone to the Anguo Mansion as a friend to deliver the letter. β
Hearing Lu Xuan report a person's name, Feng Cheng silently wrote it down.
"Nothing else, right?"
Feng Cheng blinked: "There is one more question. β
"You say."
"Now that willow tree has lush branches and leaves, and it is not eye-catching to tie a green belt, what will happen when the leaves of the willow tree fall off in autumn?"
The expression of the young man who was not surprised was distorted for a moment.
Why does this girl have so many strange questions!
But the other party still had a pair of clear eyes, waiting for him to answer seriously.
The young man couldn't bear it anymore, gritted his teeth and said: "There is still half a year before the willow leaves fall off, and by then everything may have already been figured out, and we shouldn't have to meet." β
Don't meet?
Feng Cheng glanced at the young man deeply.
