Chapter 16: I'll Go

Feng Cheng was noncommittal about Feng Mei going with him, and walked in the direction of Changning Hall without hurrying.

Feng Mei walked to the side, with a sneer hidden in her eyes.

She was the same age as Feng Cheng, and she became the second girl just because she was born a few months late.

When I was a child, there were guests who came, but whenever they appeared together, the guests would praise the big girl Yuxue for being cute, and then she could only squeeze out a well-behaved and quiet sentence when it was her turn.

Well-behaved and quiet, Feng Mei hates this word the most.

To put it bluntly, I just think she is not as good-looking as Feng Cheng.

When she played the piano and grinded her hands out of the cocoon, Feng Cheng fluttered butterflies all over the garden like a fool; When she was dazzled by reading, Feng Cheng and Feng Tao roasted venison together; When she pricked her finger as a female worker, Xue Fanshan took Feng Cheng to catch the house.

Feng Cheng grew up so relaxed and happy, and she worked so hard to be seen when the two appeared together.

She hated Feng Cheng for relying on her beauty for nothing, but now she can finally see the embarrassment and despair of the other party, and her happiness grows wantonly.

It was almost noon, and Mrs. Niu was about to have lunch, when she heard the maid report that the eldest girl and the second girl had arrived.

Old Madam Niu frowned secretly when she heard the report, and was dissatisfied with Mama Wan, who had just been sent to the late autumn residence.

Didn't you let Mama Wan detain the big girl in the late autumn residence, and she couldn't do such a thing?

Mrs. Niu motioned to the maidservant to invite someone in.

A moment later, the two sisters came in one after the other and saluted Mrs. Niu together.

Mrs. Niu held the teacup and asked, "Why did you two come here at noon?" ”

Feng Mei glanced at Feng Cheng, revealing a look of wanting to say something.

Mrs. Niu was about to ask, when she heard Feng Cheng say: "Grandmother, that's the case, just now the second sister reminded me that the eldest princess's mansion sent a post to our house, inviting us to participate in tomorrow's flower-viewing banquet." ”

Old Madam Niu glanced at Feng Mei.

The eldest princess of Yongping is the sister of today's saint, and when she was young, she followed Taizu to fight in the south and the north, and the emperor made great contributions to quelling the chaos in the years when he ascended the throne.

After the Great Wei settled down, the eldest princess of Yongping took off her robe and married the world-famous genius Du Nian as his wife.

The eldest princess of Yongping not only won the respect of the emperor, but also loved the concubine, and it can be said that she has become the envy of women all over the world.

Three years ago, something happened that made the eldest princess of Yongping heartbroken: the eldest princess's only daughter, Lord Yingyue, disappeared.

According to the rules, the daughter of the princess should be a paternal person, and she is not qualified to be the lord of the county.

The little lord who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth was only twelve years old when he disappeared.

Up to now, the people of the capital can't forget the terrifying knocks on the door and interrogation again and again in order to find the ironclad guards who patrolled back and forth in search of the little county lord.

But the Lord of Yingyue County seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no news since.

The beloved girl is nowhere to be seen, and the corpse is not dead, and the eldest princess of Yongping, like all mothers who have lost their children, is in pain, anxiety, and despair...... All kinds of emotions have been experienced over and over again.

Since the year before, the eldest princess of Yongping will hold a flower-viewing banquet at this time.

The peony flower in the eldest princess's mansion has bloomed, and the lord of Yingyue likes the peony flower the most.

The flowers banquet invited are all noble girls who are the same age as the lord of Yingyue, and it is not difficult to guess that the eldest princess of Yongping is expressing her thoughts about her daughter through the flower viewing banquet.

In this way, the cherry blossom viewing banquet is no longer an ordinary banquet.

The eldest princess of Yongping lost her only daughter, and if anyone enters the eyes of the eldest princess at the flower viewing banquet, it will be of endless benefit to herself and her family.

Therefore, the nobles are proud to be able to participate in the flower-viewing banquet of the eldest princess's mansion, and the provinces that receive the post attach great importance to it.

The turmoil in Shangshu Mansion is not settled, if it is an ordinary banquet, Mrs. Niu will keep her granddaughters from going out, but the post of the eldest princess of Yongping Mansion cannot be pushed.

Old Madam Niu wanted to let Feng Mei go alone, but she didn't expect this girl to mention it to Feng Cheng.

Isn't this looking for trouble?

Feng Mei was glanced at by Mrs. Niu, and knew that her grandmother was unhappy, and she was secretly annoyed that Feng Cheng dug a pit for her.

Feng Cheng asked seriously: "Grandmother, is it appropriate for my granddaughter to wear that newly-cut red Luo skirt to go out tomorrow?" ”

Old Madam Niu's eyes flashed.

This girl is simply out of proportion!

Looking at the face that couldn't find a flaw, Mrs. Niu was even more heartbroken.

She used to think that beauty is the biggest strength for women, although the big girl is not smart, she will never be bad in the future with such a unique face.

Now that I think about it, there is no beauty and no brain, what is the use except to make jokes.

"It's not appropriate." Old Madam Niu said coldly.

Feng Cheng didn't seem to hear the coldness, and said with a smile: "That granddaughter wears that moon-white Ruyi dress, it's also new-"

"No need." Old Madam Niu was impatient to act, and said coldly, "Big girl, at this time, you should recuperate well in the late autumn residence, don't think about going out." ”

Feng Cheng pursed her lips: "Can't my granddaughter go out?" ”

Feng Mei comforted softly: "The eldest sister's face is not very good, if you go to the eldest princess's mansion and let the nobles see it, I'm afraid they will blame our Shangshu Mansion for being rude, those noble girls will also talk about your abduction when they see the eldest sister, so the eldest sister still listens to her grandmother and takes care of her body first." ”

Feng Cheng listened, and his small fan-like eyelashes trembled.

Her pupils are black and large, and her eyes are clear, like a harmless fawn, which is easy to take lightly.

Mrs. Niu said lightly: "Go back, you don't have to come to ask for peace tomorrow, the most important thing is to take care of your body." ”

"But the post is sent to Shangshufu, if only the second sister goes tomorrow, will others think that my grandmother is particularly angry with me, and even the third sister is involved?"

Old Madam Niu frowned.

The world is declining, and when this kind of thing happened to a girl in the family in the past, no one would say anything if it was dealt with in public, but now it is not done.

If there is a rumor that she is very angry now, when the big girl "dies" in the future, the world should chew her harshly.

"Don't think nonsense, the three girls would have gone."

In fact, the eldest granddaughter was not qualified to go, and Mrs. Niu didn't think about letting the third granddaughter go.

Feng Cheng looked disappointed and struggled: "But the granddaughter really wants to go to the eldest princess's mansion, and the granddaughter still wants to talk to the eldest princessβ€”β€”"

"Enough!" Old Madam Niu's face sank, "Second girl, accompany your eldest sister back." ”

Feng Mei smiled softly: "Eldest sister, let's not disturb our grandmother's meal, let's go back together." ”

Seeing that Feng Cheng was pulled out by Feng Mei, Old Madam Niu couldn't help but angrily ordered the maid: "Go and call Mama Wan to me!" ”

A little girl couldn't stand it, so people ran to her eyes to block it, what did Mama Wan eat.

Out of Changning Hall, Feng Mei let go of Feng Cheng's hand, and asked thoughtfully, "Eldest sister can't go to the flower viewing banquet in the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow, it's a pity, right?" ”

"No regrets." The girl smiled lightly and looked unimpressed.

Feng Mei couldn't see her like this, and couldn't help but sarcastically: "It seems that the eldest sister has finally learned a word." ”

"What word?" Feng Cheng asked.

"Self-knowledge."

Feng Cheng sneered.

"What are you laughing at?" Feng Mei frowned.

Feng Cheng raised his lips: "I laugh at the second sister and worry about it." I don't regret it, because I'll go. ”
