Chapter 44: Anomaly
What happened to the kidnapper couple, Feng Cheng didn't know, but obviously found that after being invited by the eldest princess's mansion this time, his life in Shangshu Mansion became comfortable.
For example, three meals a day, although the ingredients are the same as everywhere, the ingredients are better.
For example, when I went to Changning Hall to say goodbye, Mrs. Niu's smile was two points more than usual.
For example, the eldest lady You Shi, who has almost no sense of existence in Shangshu Mansion, has a much more attentive attitude when she sees it.
Feng Cheng could feel such a change, and Feng Mei could naturally feel it.
On this day, in the second wife Yang's house, Feng Mei couldn't help complaining: "Mother, today in Changning Hall, grandmother has a very kind attitude towards Feng Cheng, and even Feng Cheng said that she wanted to go out to play. ”
These days, she is watching coldly, Feng Cheng can go out to play if she wants to, but she is much more comfortable than her.
Yang patted the back of Feng Mei's hand: "What's so strange about this, Feng Cheng has won the favor of the eldest princess of Yongping, and your grandmother will naturally not embarrass her." ”
Grinding her granddaughter and offending a noble person like the eldest princess of Yongping, the old lady couldn't think about it.
Feng Mei couldn't suppress the injustice in her heart: "But Feng Cheng escaped from the hands of a kidnapper, who knows what happened in the two days since he disappeared." Even if the eldest princess of Yongping likes her, can she erase these? ”
The corners of Yang's mouth curved slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "How can what happened change." Silly girl, you don't have to fight for this. ”
"I just can't figure it out, my grandmother obviously values reputation the most."
Yang smiled.
Of course, the old lady values fame above all else.
My father-in-law was only promoted in his thirties, but he came from a poor family, and his wife who married early was just a small jasper.
Unexpectedly, after the father-in-law entered the office, the official became bigger and bigger, and the old lady's order level also rose higher and higher, and the people who usually came and went were all famous ladies.
Because of this, the old lady from an ordinary background is particularly concerned about the rules and reputation, lest she be looked down upon.
is also because of her background, the old lady is particularly unconfident in front of a real noble person like Princess Yongping.
What people lack, they value.
Isn't she?
"Your grandmother just doesn't want to offend a noble person for a little girl."
Feng Mei pouted: "Feng Cheng is really lucky, she climbed the high branch of the eldest princess, and even Feng Tao kicked her nose in front of me because of her good relationship." Oh, a maid-"
Touching Yang's cold eyes, Feng Mei showed a little embarrassment on her face: "Mother, I didn't mean to. ”
She almost forgot that her mother was also a concubine.
She had heard Mama Li, that is, her mother's nurse, mention many times that it was not easy for her mother when she was a child.
When my mother got married, my grandfather's official position was not high, and later my grandfather was promoted again and again, and his official rank was still high, and his mother straightened his waist when he returned to the Hou Mansion.
"Mother, I'm just worried that Feng Cheng will be more proud after the autumn-"
Hearing Feng Mei mention Qiu Yu, Yang's expression became solemn: "Mei'er, have you heard something?" ”
In the autumn of this year, not only Feng Yu will end, but her eldest son Hui'er will also participate.
The imperial examination is the top priority in Yang's heart.
The door of Shangshu Mansion is placed here, and the daughter's family affairs are not much worse, but the future of the son is different.
is different from the hereditary nobles, such as them, the children of the family have to pass the imperial examination to have a good future, and the kind of people who rely on grace to enter the office are just an errand.
In order to balance the DPRK and China, it is difficult for two high-ranking officials to appear in the same family.
This also means that the children of the same clan are mutual supporters externally and competitors internally.
A family will often pour all its resources on one person, so that he can support the family as soon as possible. As for the other children, mixing better is the icing on the cake.
Hui'er is the second grandson, and he is naturally worse than Feng Yu, who is the eldest grandson, but Feng Yu is still a famous talent in Beijing. Who will be the father-in-law's network resources in the future, and the whole house, including her, has never thought of a choice other than Feng Yu.
Yang thought about this, and listened to Feng Mei continue: "Yesterday, my daughter overheard two mothers-in-law chatting, and one mother-in-law said that the eldest aunt was able to get out of the way, and when the eldest brother was named on the gold list, no one could surpass her scenery......"
The more Yang listened, the darker his face became.
Feng Mei was also frustrated, tilted her head and asked, "Mother, the second brother must be fine, right?" ”
If the eldest brother is admitted and the second brother is not on the list, Feng Cheng doesn't know how proud she will be in front of her.
No, Feng Cheng may not feel complacent, but take it for granted.
From childhood to adulthood, Feng Cheng has everything without fighting or grabbing, and even her sibling brother is better than her sibling.
"Of course your second brother is fine!" Yang twisted his eyebrows, "Your second brother is not bad, but how can he fail the township test?" Well, don't worry about that, let's go back to practicing when you have this time. ”
After Feng Mei retreated, Yang's expression completely cooled.
Cherry red, plantain green, time flies, and another seven or eight days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the afternoon of this day, Bai Lu gently walked into the inner room, looking at the one person and one cat sleeping soundly on the shelf bed and hesitated.
Feng Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and asked lazily, "Something?" ”
Laifu also woke up, squinting at Bai Lu, with the same lazy expression.
At that moment, Bai Lu inexplicably felt that one person and one cat were a little similar.
Phew, how could she have such a ridiculous idea.
Bai Lu secretly took a sip of herself, and hurriedly reported to Feng Cheng: "Girl, the third girl is here." ”
Feng Cheng sat up, casually scooped Laifu into his arms and smoothed his hair: "Then please come in." ”
Bai Lu turned around and went out and invited Feng Tao in.
The large shelf bed, the rain through the azure gauze tent, through the carved windows poured into the sunlight in the room.
As soon as Feng Tao came in, he felt warm and bright everywhere.
"Third sister, come and sit." Feng Cheng patted the edge of the bed.
Feng Tao walked over.
"Did you disturb the eldest sister's sleep?"
"I just want to sleep, so what's the bother."
Feng Cheng saw that Feng Tao's expression was different, and when Bai Lu served the tea and signaled her to retreat, only the two sisters were left in the house.
"The third sister is looking for me?"
Feng Tao pursed her lips, and her voice unconsciously lowered: "Eldest sister, you said a few days ago that no matter what abnormalities I encounter, I will tell you." ”
Feng Cheng immediately sat up straight, put away his lazy expression and looked at Feng Tao.
The third sister's death is a mystery that she has never solved, and she can only tell the third sister to pay attention to all abnormalities.
The third sister is in the house all day long, and any crisis cannot be without warning.
"Early this morning, Xiao Cicada gave me a note, which said that if I wanted to know Lu Mo's whereabouts, I would go to the garden rockery tonight and wait......" Feng Tao handed a folded note to Feng Cheng.
Feng Tao has two big maids, and the little cicada is one of them.
Feng Cheng took the note and read it, and asked with a gloomy face: "Who handed this over to Xiao Cicada?" ”
