Chapter 30: Competing for Favor
Old Mrs. Niu looked at her granddaughter with a distressed face, and then looked at Mu Ne's silent maid, and had a headache.
The eldest princess will reward a maid to the big girl, which is enough to see the importance she attaches to the big girl.
Although the old man is in a high position, after all, he is from a poor family, and he can't compare to those century-old clans with deep roots, and the Feng family is deeply rooted around the big tree of the old man.
And the transcendent status of the eldest princess of Yongping is needless to say.
Although she really wants to deal with the big girl, the eldest princess may not say anything, after all, this is a family matter of Shangshufu, but why bother to make the eldest princess unhappy because of a little girl.
It seems that the previous arrangement for the big girl had to be abandoned.
After Mrs. Niu weighed up, she looked at Feng Cheng's eyes much gentler: "Since you are the one who rewards you as the eldest princess, you will be treated well in the future." β
"Granddaughter knows." Feng Cheng didn't seem to notice the change in Old Madam Niu's attitude, and responded obediently.
Mrs. Niu picked up the teacup: "Okay, the three of you sisters went out to the banquet today, and now they are tired, so go back and rest." β
"Yes."
The three sisters withdrew from Changning Hall together and walked on the way back to the house.
Feng Cheng's late autumn residence, Feng Mei's dark fragrance residence, and Feng Tao's long summer residence are built next to each other, and it is natural to go back.
Looking at the two walking hand in hand, Feng Mei's expression was a little gloomy.
She's been ostracized again!
No-Feng Mei didn't know what to think, and her feet were stunned.
As soon as her speed slowed down, Feng Cheng and the others walked to the front, and it became more and more clear that Feng Tao was holding Feng Cheng's arm affectionately, and her eyebrows were dancing and laughing.
Feng Mei pursed her lips tightly, finally trying to figure out what was wrong.
Feng Tao has been Feng Cheng's follower since she was a child, and she has long been used to it. And although Feng Cheng is better with Feng Tao, he has never been so cold to her.
"Big sisterβ"
Hearing this shout, Feng Cheng turned around: "Second sister called me?" β
Feng Mei took two quick steps to keep up, and said, "The eldest sister seems to have changed a lot." β
Feng Cheng smiled: "When people suffer great hardships, how can there be anything that remains the same." β
"That's right, I think the eldest sister is doing well now." Feng Tao pulled Feng Cheng's arm tighter and squinted at Feng Mei.
From childhood to adulthood, the second sister competed with the eldest sister everywhere, she could see it, and of course the eldest sister could feel it.
It's just that the eldest sister is generous, and when the three sisters were together in the past, they couldn't be too embarrassed to see the second sister.
Now the eldest sister is too lazy to tolerate the second sister's careful eyes, which really makes her refreshed.
The little girl's provocation was too obvious, which made Feng Mei's face slightly gloomy: "The third sister actually thinks that it is a good thing that the eldest sister was abducted, do you think so much that you are worthy of the eldest sister?" β
Feng Tao glared: "Second sister, you are misinterpreting what I mean!" β
Feng Mei sneered: "Where is it misinterpreted?" It's not that you said it yourself, you think the eldest sister is fine now. β
Feng Cheng pulled Feng Tao, who was puffing up and was about to argue, and said with a smile: "Lost East, Harvest Sangyu, of course it's not a good thing that I was abducted a few days ago, but isn't it a great thing to get the eldest princess's reward today?" So the third sister said that I am fine now, and I don't think it's wrong. β
Feng Mei couldn't refute, and her face turned a little whiter.
Feng Cheng ignored Feng Mei's reaction and asked Feng Tao with a smile: "I ordered Bai Lu to make some peach blossom cake before I went out, do you want to taste it?" β
Feng Tao nodded violently: "Okay, I like to eat peach blossom cake the most." β
The two sisters laughed and walked towards the late autumn residence.
Feng Mei stared at the backs of the two walking side by side and rubbed her handkerchief.
Last time Feng Tao said that he liked to eat mung bean cake the most, and last time Feng Tao said that he liked to eat osmanthus cake the most, last time he ...... In short, as long as it is a snack given by Feng Cheng, there is nothing Feng Tao doesn't like.
Eat, eat, eat, eat so that you can't marry a piglet!
Feng Mei scolded secretly and walked quickly towards the Dark Fragrance Residence.
After entering the late autumn residence, Feng Cheng introduced Xiaoyu to Bai Lu and ordered Bai Lu to lead people down to settle down.
Seeing that Xiaoyu obediently went with Bai Lu, Feng Tao was quite surprised: "It looks quite obedient." β
It's not like when I was in Changning Hall.
Feng Cheng smiled and handed over the peach blossom crisp.
It is a pink pastry in the shape of a peach blossom with a sweet bean paste filling inside, and it tastes crispy and delicious.
Feng Tao ate two pieces in a row, holding the tea and praising it: "Eldest sister, Bai Lu's skills in making dim sum are getting better and better." β
"Yes, Bai Lu is good at that." Speaking of this, Feng Cheng remembered Pu Jia.
The two big girls have their own strengths and are loyal, and they are both good helpers who grew up with her since childhood.
It's a pity that Pu Jia died tragically, and she didn't have time to save her.
Feng Cheng suppressed his heartache and straightened his face: "Third sister, I have something to tell you." β
Feng Tao hurriedly put down the teacup and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief: "Eldest sister, you say." β
"Lately, remember to tell me anything special you encountered."
The third sister died because of the collision with the little girl, which is a mystery that she has not been able to uncover.
She didn't want her third sister to end up like that again.
Feng Tao looked confused: "Something special? β
"Yes, as long as it's different from usual." Feng Cheng was afraid that his sister would be careless, so he emphasized again.
"Okay." Feng Tao nodded as if he understood.
Although I don't understand why the eldest sister explained this, the eldest sister never harmed her.
's father died early, her mother-in-law was cowardly, and her biological mother was gone when she was very young, not to mention elders like her grandmother, even the people in the house secretly neglected a lot. Thanks to the protection of her eldest sister over the years, she can live so steadily and happily.
She wants to be with her eldest sister all the time, and no one wants to snatch her eldest sister away!
"Meow-" A flower cat jumped on Feng Cheng's knee.
"Are you hungry?" Feng Cheng grabbed a few small dried fish from the small porcelain jar placed on the table and fed it.
Laifu ate the small dried fish unhurriedly, and glanced at Feng Tao lazily.
Feng Taoxing's eyes widened.
The cat seems to be despising her!
As if sensing the little girl's emotions, Laifu raised his head slightly, and let Feng Cheng wait to eat a small dried fish.
Feng Tao: "......"
After Lu Xuan left Kang'anfang, he rushed directly to Shuntian Mansion to learn about the case of Miss Feng's elopement with Lu Ergongzi, of course, there has been a change now, and it has been changed to the case of Lu Ergongzi's disappearance.
Lu Xuan often works for the crown prince and is no stranger to Shuntian Mansion.
After finding the official in charge of the case to understand the situation, Lu Xuan asked, "Where is this monkey show now?" β
The official hurriedly said: "This person is a foreigner, and he came to the capital to make a living after a disaster in his hometown last year." Usually there is no fixed place, and wherever he goes, he will play monkey play, and it took a lot of effort to find him a few days ago. Xia Guan thought that he might ask him about it in the future, so he let him rent a room to live in......"
Lu Xuan thanked him and rushed there according to the address given by the official.
The low and dilapidated houses are close to each other, and the cramping is depressing, but the young man walks in the middle of it without changing his face.
He stopped before a broken door and reached out and knocked.
"Who?" As the door was pulled open, a weather-beaten face was revealed.
"Ask the case."
Taking advantage of the man's stunned moment, Lu Xuan pushed him away and strode in.
