Since they were all caught by Duanmuxian, Duanmufei could only "be generous" and take Feng Yan to greet him.

"Grandfather." Duanmu Fei still smiled obediently, and said goodbye to Duanmu Xian as usual.

Feng Yan on the side saluted Duanmu Xian solemnly: "Grandfather." "The courtesy is very respectful and thoughtful.

The handsome young man became serious, and at first glance, he looked like a gentle and elegant noble son, and Duanmu Xian felt a little more comfortable in his heart.

Although the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion is a little troublesome, Feng Yan is still human, and he is not like other gentlemen who know that he wanders in Flower Street and Willow Lane or teases cats and dogs, and there are errands on his body, and according to his observation in the household department during this time, Feng Yan is a little juvenile, but he can do practical things, and he is also a good boy.

Duanmu Xian comforted himself in his heart, stroked his beard, and smiled casually: "Four girls, you kid, you didn't cause trouble to Feng Gongzi, right?" The indulgence in the tone could not be concealed.

"Grandfather, I'm very well-behaved." Duanmu Fei said confidently, Feng Yan nodded frequently with sympathy on the side, and Duanmu Xian couldn't help but laugh.

There was also a middle-aged official in his forties standing next to Duanmuxian, who was Lord Yan of Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Lord Yan listened and immediately understood.

It turns out that the little girl in the pink dress in front of her is the rumored fourth girl!

He immediately smiled, laughing so much that the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and said amidly: "It turned out to be the fourth girl of Duanmu, there are really ancestors and grandchildren, and at first glance she is smart and clever." As he spoke, he felt a little annoyed in his heart: Hey, why did he forget to bring a greeting gift! I don't seem to have any welcome gifts on my body now.

This Lord Yan came to Duanmu Mansion to give gifts.

Yesterday was the small ceremony of the four girls of the Duanmu family, originally she set the house of the eldest princess of Anping, except for the people in the capital who have a particularly good relationship with Duanmu Xian, no one will run to Dao He without eyesight, and Lord Yan is of course no exception.

Until last night, he suddenly heard that Lord Cen actually came to Duanmu's house in person in the afternoon to congratulate him, and then, yesterday afternoon, the people in Dongchang all ran to Duanmu's house to send congratulatory gifts, and there was even gossip that said-

Lord Cen recognized the four girls of Duanmu as his sister-in-law!

Although this news sounds a bit outrageous, Lord Yan can't think of any other explanation, this Cen Yin and Dongchang both congratulated and gave gifts, how could he not come?!

So, Lord Yan hurriedly prepared the ceremony early in the morning, and hurriedly came after the next court, and saw that the Duanmu family was in the market, and it was obvious that most of the mansions in Beijing should have heard the news, and it was not too late for him to come!

Thinking about it, Lord Yan smiled more kindly at Duanmu Fei.

So many people came to Duanmu Mansion and couldn't meet this Duanmu girl, but they let themselves meet, isn't that fate!

Since you are so destined, why did you forget to prepare a meeting gift?

This is a rare opportunity to make a good impression in front of Lord Cen Governor's sister, maybe in the future, the fourth girl of Duanmu will casually mention it in front of Lord Cen Governor, and she will have a bright future!

At this moment, he has a jade pendant and a small seal on his body, but the small seal is engraved with his name, and he is not a female dependent, and the jade pendant on his body will definitely not be able to give it to the girl's family......

Lord Yan was so anxious that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks.

Duanmu Xian couldn't see Lord Yan's entanglement, so he cleared his throat and said: "Four girls, this is Lord Yan of Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he still doesn't give Lord Yan a salute." ”

Duanmu Fei immediately took half a step forward, obediently blessed Lord Yan, and called sweetly: "I've seen Uncle Yan." ”

What uncle?! Lord Yan was so shocked that he almost didn't jump up, if he was the "uncle" of the fourth girl of Duanmu, wouldn't it mean that he was still a generation higher than Lord Cen Du?

He wouldn't dare!

Thinking about it, Lord Yan only felt that the people from Dongchang seemed to have rushed to the gate of his house in a murderous manner, and he was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out behind his back, and he said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Duanmu Fei's face was puzzled, and he didn't understand what the other party was "not daring". She didn't ask much, so she smiled and said to Duanmu Xian: "Grandfather, then I'll go in first." ”

Duanmu Xian waved his hand and motioned for her to come in.

Duanmu Fei smiled at Feng Yan as a farewell, and then blessed Duanmu Xian, and couldn't wait to enter the door, only to feel that the few eyes behind her were scorching, and she was relieved until she ran to the Yimen.

Sure enough, before you go out, you have to look at the yellow calendar. Duanmu patted his chest and said secretly in his heart.

Xiao Ding, the fourth girl of the Duanmu family, was only a trivial matter in Beijing, and the prefectures had a few private discussions after the tea and dinner, however, no one expected that a day later, this incident caused a wave of gift-giving in Beijing.

At the gate of Duanmu's house from morning to night, there are people carrying boxes of heavy wooden boxes waiting in a long queue on Quanyu Street, and many cloth villages, jewelry and jade shops in Beijing are in full supply, and the goods are in short supply, and within two days, the prices of goods in major shops have doubled, and those bosses and shopkeepers have made a lot of money.

Such a grand occasion can not hide the eyes of the hearted, some people who originally wanted to wait and see again were also anxious, and hurriedly sent people to buy congratulatory gifts at a high price to make up for it, for two days, almost seventy or eighty percent of the noble ministers in Beijing have boarded the door of Duanmu's house, and even those ladies have brought their daughters to the door to congratulate, one by one, almost stepping through the threshold of Duanmu's family.

Duanmu's house is lively and lively, and even the people feel honored and windy when they walk, but compared to it, the Weiguo Mansion is deserted.

Today is Geng Tinglian's ceremony.

This should have been a happy day, but at this moment, except for a few of Geng Tinglian's close friends and a group of family friends, there were very few female guests who came to the banquet, so the hall could be filled.

Geng Tinglian is the fifth among the girls of the same generation in the Guogong Mansion, and most of the female guests are not the first time to participate in the ceremony of the Weiguo Mansion, and today's coldness makes them all a little surprised, and they can't help but whisper in each other's voices:

"Mrs. Wang, I think there are a few guests here today."

"yes, yes. Mrs. Wu Shangshu and Mrs. Yu from the Fengguo General's Mansion didn't seem to have come......"

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess didn't come either, didn't Fifth Miss Geng be the companion of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?"

"Mrs. Liu, don't you know yet? The companion reading of the fifth girl Geng was 'withdrawn'! ”

“……”

The expressions of many young girls are a little strange, for more than a hundred years, the Weiguo Mansion has been deeply favored and unspeakably expensive, but since the return of the Weiguo Mansion this time, the emperor's attitude towards the Weiguo Mansion seems to have undergone a subtle change.

Unconsciously, the Patriotic Mansion seems to have become less "unattainable".

Rao is it that those ladies lowered their voices, and there were still some words that more or less reached Geng Tinglian's ears.

No matter how turbulent Geng Tinglian's heart was, she still meticulously completed every step of the ceremony.

After the three-plus ceremony, the guests moved to the flower hall to enjoy the banquet and watch the play, and then they left one after another.

Geng Tinglian, who had been busy for most of the day, went back to her yard to change her clothes, and the tiredness on her pretty face couldn't be hidden, and there seemed to be a faint trace of loss in that exhaustion.

Geng Tinglian sat in front of the rhombic mirror with a stunned expression, and the maid took off the hairpin crown on her head, and she couldn't help but think of last year's Duanmu Ceremony, which was so brilliant at that time......

"Sister Lian." Duchess Wei came in, walked behind her daughter, and the maids took two steps back in amusement, bowing their heads and standing aside.

Duchess Wei patted her daughter's shoulder soothingly, smiled at her daughter in the mirror, and praised: "My family has a girl who has just grown up, and my sister Lian is so beautiful!" She also knew that today's ceremony had wronged her daughter, for fear that her daughter would hold back her heart......

Geng Tinglian also smiled at her mother in the mirror, looking indifferent in her expression, and her heart was bright: she had actually heard that in the past two days, the people in Beijing had been busy sending congratulatory gifts to the Duanmu family, so those mansions would not take care of their own banquets.

It's just that......

Geng Tinglian raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked lightly: "Mother, I remember that the little Dingli of the fourth girl of Duanmu was obviously the day before yesterday. ”

"yes." Duchess Wei Guo nodded, and the corners of her mouth hooked a mocking smile, "I heard that it was Cen Yin's eunuch who recognized the fourth girl of Duanmu as her righteous sister in public during the small ceremony, and those who tended to be inflammatory, and those who were inclined to the flames flocked to Duanmu's house to congratulate them in the past two days." ”

Duchess Weiguo's eyes were surging with anger, and she was very unhappy in her heart.

For this day, Duchess Wei Guo has been preparing for nearly a year, wanting to hold a beautiful ceremony for her daughter, so that she will become the envy of the nobles in Beijing.

The daughters are fifteen years old, and they have just dissolved the marriage contract, so they have to see a suitable young man again.

"I see." Geng Tinglian sighed lowly, and her long eyelashes flashed slightly like butterfly wings. After the initial surprise, I had a feeling that this was indeed the case.

If there is a sister, there must be a sister.

Since she met Duanmu Fei last year, she found that the four girls of the Duanmu family are used to climbing high branches, the eldest princess, the fourth princess, the lord of Yunhua County, and the lord of Dangui County...... And Cen Yin!

Geng Tinglian's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what means Duanmu Fei had used to "coax" Cen Yin to recognize her as a righteous sister!

Geng Tinglian twisted her eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but worry about Cen Yin, maybe Cen Yin was just a momentary kindness, but he was borrowed by Duanmu Scarlet Fox fake tiger to borrow his name, Cen Yin is now also the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the supervisor of the Dongchang factory, one person is above 10,000 people, this position is like cooking oil on fire, once there is anything wrong, the emperor is angry, I am afraid it will be ......

Duchess Wei Guo was worried about her daughter, but she immediately noticed the sadness on her daughter's face, and she only thought that her daughter was too cold for the sake of the ceremony, and she was distressed.

Yes, the ceremony is the most important thing before the girl's family gets married, how can the daughter not care.

It's all to blame on the Duanmu family!

Otherwise, how could my daughter's etiquette be so cold! Duchess Wei thought angrily, her forehead fluttering.

"Sister Lian, don't be sad, my mother must tell your father to let him make the decision for you." Duchess Wei said softly to her daughter, "Mother doesn't believe that she can't catch the handle of Mu Xian, and let your father join him when the time comes!" ”

"Their Duanmu family is just mud legs, and only Duanmu Xian is the top thing in the face, once Duanmu Xian falls, only the concubine in the palace will be left in the Duanmu family."

"In this capital, there are prince's concubines under their knees and no effective foreign help, who can gain power!"

"Besides, God knows if the Great Prince will be able to come back alive from the South."

Her daughter must not suffer this grievance in vain. Duchess Wei Guo said to herself in her heart.

Geng Tinglian's eyes were half-drooping, her deep eyes swayed slightly, and her eyes were full of complex emotions.

After being silent for a moment, Geng Tinglian looked up at Duchess Wei Guo and reminded: "Mother, you also know that the eldest brother is ...... I'm afraid the eldest brother won't agree. ”

When Duchess Wei Guo heard this, her brows furrowed tightly, and her well-maintained fair face was covered with haze.

In front of her daughter, she made no secret of her dissatisfaction.

Her eldest son has been filial and obedient since he was a child, and since he met that Duanmujun, he has been infatuated with her as if he had been tricked by her, and he has never forgotten her, almost to the point where he doesn't want to think about it.

After the eldest son's foot was injured this time, he kept saying that he was not worthy of a good man!

According to the Duchess of Weiguo, Duanmu is just a widowed eldest daughter, and she is from a poor family, only she is not worthy of her son.

Duchess Wei Guo gritted her back molars, a touch of fierceness flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly: "This Duanmu is dust-free under his eyes, and he thinks very highly of himself. It's okay if Duanmu Xian falls...... In this way, I want to see if Duanmu is still worthy of this shelf! ”

If Duanmu's family is down, Duanmu Jun can still say that he will not marry his son, and he really has to look up to her, she is high enough!

Geng Tinglian raised her hand and grabbed the hand of Duchess Weiguo, and smiled softly: "Mother, the eldest brother will understand your mind!" I'll help persuade my eldest brother too. ”

Duchess Wei Guo felt very good in her heart, she also had two concubines under her knees, this daughter has always been the most intimate and outstanding with her, but ah, ill-fated, Mu Jinfan was given before...... After all, it was their parents who didn't choose a good family for their daughter.

Duchess Wei couldn't help but feel a touch of guilt, and comforted her daughter again: "Sister Lian, don't worry. Among the girls in the capital, you are undoubtedly the most outstanding, even if you are now taken the limelight by the four girls of the Duanmu family, it is just those people who tend to be inflammatory, and go towards that eunuch! There are no 100 days of red flowers, let's watch. ”

"Mother, I understand." Geng Tinglian smiled thoughtfully, and her expression was open-minded. She is the concubine of the Patriotic Mansion, how can she compete with a mere poor woman! That's just self-surrender.

Duchess Wei patted her daughter's back lovingly, and asked tentatively: "Sister Lian, you have been back to Beijing for so long, do you have a favorite person?" ”

Someone you like?! Geng Tinglian's eyelashes trembled slightly subconsciously, and a certain flawless face naturally appeared in her mind, and the other party's dark and narrow eyes were always light and light.

Duchess Wei Guo saw that her daughter was moved, and said softly: "Sister Lian, our Geng family doesn't need to use the marriage of children to consolidate its position, as long as you like it, even if the other party's family background is a little worse." ”

Geng Tinglian barely showed a shallow smile and shook her head casually, meaning, no.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Duchess Wei Guo had already seen something from the subtle changes in her daughter's expression, thinking that she was embarrassed by the girl's family, and deliberately smiled: "Don't worry." Sister Lian, remember to take a look for yourself. If you fancy someone, tell your mother. Duchess Wei said kindly and open-mindedly.

In her opinion, her daughter's vision has always been high, and the man who can make her daughter look at her will definitely not be a vulgar mediocre talent.

At this point, she is very relieved.

However, Geng Tinglian's eyes gradually became in a trance, her mind drifted away, and her mother's words seemed to come from near and far......

There are some things that only she knows, and some bitterness that only she can taste.

No matter how good the person she fancies, no matter how good it is, her parents will never agree to it.

Something was doomed from the start......

She would never grow old with him.

Thinking about it, Geng Tinglian felt a throbbing pain in her heart, and in a trance, she seemed to see Cen Yin appear in the bronze mirror, and smiled at her coldly and detachedly.

That face always gave her a sense of déjà vu, as if they had met somewhere a long, long time ago...... Could it be the fate of the previous life?!

Geng Tinglian bit her lower lip slightly, and a faint flush appeared on her jade-like white cheeks, like rouge and red glow.

Outside the window, there was a sudden sound of "rustling" branches and leaves, as if whispering, and as if echoing in a low voice.

What else did the Duchess of Weiguo want to say, the Xiangfei in front of the left was beaten up from outside, and a little maid in Tsing Yi walked in quickly, and said: "Madam, when the slave maid just went to the gatehouse, I happened to hear that the second lady had also prepared a congratulatory gift, and was about to send someone to Duanmu's house. ”

Duchess Wei pursed her lips when she heard this, and her eyes condensed like ice.

Originally, after the death of the first Wei Guogong and Mrs. Tai, the Guogong Mansion should have been separated, but they had just returned to Beijing for less than a year, and they were busy, so they never cared about the separation. It seems that the second room is going to be relied on in advance.

Duchess Wei subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and said hatefully: "Let them go, I want to see if others appreciate it." ”

Don't be a second-room shaved head and pick a hot head.

Besides, whether this backer is reliable or not is another matter!

No matter what the Duchess of Wei Guo thought, the congratulatory gift from the second room of the Geng family was still delivered to Quanyu Street half an hour later, and after waiting in line for another hour, the congratulatory gift was sent to the gate of Duanmu's house.

In the past two days, Duanmufei was also shocked by the large number of gift lists that flocked to him, not only Duanmufei, but also Duanmuxian.

In fact, Duanmu Xian didn't accept all the gifts, he had roughly looked at these gift lists, and he would add another ten percent to return the gifts that were too valuable.

And for the person who gave the gift, if the gift was returned, it was equivalent to giving it in vain, so the other mansions saw it in their eyes, and they also knew and became interested, and most of them would consider it well before giving the gift, and control it within the usual range of gifts, and send some materials, jewelry, utensils and furnishings, etc.

Rao is like this, and he still received a lot of gifts, which has exceeded the congratulatory gifts received by Duanmu Xian when he was promoted to the first assistant.

Originally, according to common sense, these gifts were to be returned to the public middle school, but what people gave gifts for, Duanmu Xian knew it, he waved his hand and returned the gifts to the private treasury of Changfang.

Therefore, even these gift lists were sent to the Zhanqing Academy.

The gift list was stacked on top of each other, a full inch thick, Duanmufei casually looked at the two pages of the gift list, and was dizzy and dazzled by the dense text on it.

"Jin Se, you follow these gift lists, sort them out and then put them into the warehouse." Duanmufei directly became the shopkeeper and handed over the stack of gift lists to Jinse.

"Yes, girl." Jin Se respectfully accepted the order and retreated with the gift list in his hand.

Without these gift lists, the sour branch wood desk was a lot empty, and Duanmu Fei felt that even the air around him became fresher.

The little fox curled up in the nest seemed to see her thoughts, raised her head from the nest, and glanced at Duanmu Fei with disdain.

Duanmu Fei was stimulated by its small eyes, and stretched out his finger and nodded on its forehead, "You are a bad thing, you eat and drink every day, drink and sleep, and you are embarrassed to despise me!" ”

"Quack!" Although the little starling on the side couldn't understand what Duanmu Fei was saying, he could see that the little fox was scolded. It screamed gloatingly, as if it was cheering for Duanmufei.

The little fox jumped up from the nest and flew towards the little starling on the window sill......

"Quack, quack, quack......" The little starling was frightened and flew out of the window in embarrassment, screaming more and more fiercely, and the little fox chased after him.

Looking at the little starling who forgot that he could fly when he was scared, Duanmu Fei's little face showed an indescribable expression.

As far as Xiaoba's cowardice of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, it still dares to make fun of others?!

At this time, there was a sound of the curtain behind Duanmu Fei, followed by Duanmu Jun's gentle voice: "Zhen Zhen......"

"Quack!" The little starling outside the window saw Duanmujun, flapped his wings, and threw himself into Duanmujun's arms in embarrassment.

Before Duanmujun could react, the little starling had already landed firmly on her right shoulder, and while jumping on her feet, she pointed out the window with her right wing, as if she was complaining.

Duanmu Jun looked over suspiciously, only to see his sister sitting there by the window, the little fox curled up in a ball on the bookcase by the window and sleeping, the window was empty, only a black feather was spinning in the air and slowly falling......

"Hachi?" Duanmujun retracted his gaze and looked at the little starling in confusion.

The little starling screamed louder aggrievedly, however, the little fox sleeping in the nest did not move like a mountain.

Duanmu Fei sat idly on the wall and watched, sneering in his heart: it turns out that a stupid starling can't fight a shrewd species like a fox!

Duanmujun touched the little starling soothingly, softly relieved, and said that he would let it eat eggs at noon, and then said that he would play shuttlecock with it, so that he could finally amuse the little starling again, and he didn't leave on Duanmujun's shoulder, looking down at Duanmufei from above.

After coaxing the little starling, Duanmu Jun remembered the business he had come over, and while touching the smooth black feather of the little starling, he said: "Zhen Zhen, I plan to add makeup to you for the congratulatory gifts sent by various prefectures this time." ”

These gift lists were sent to Duanmujun by Duanmuxian first, and then transferred to Duanmufei's side, Duanmujun naturally looked at them one by one, knowing that there were a lot of good things in them.

Thinking that his sister's dowry was much richer, Duanmujun's eyes sparkled.

Duanmu Fei's little face was a little complicated, and after hesitating for a while, he said tentatively: "Sister, I'm all married...... Did that sister think about your own marriage? ”

Before, Duanmujun said that he would wait until he got married before picking, but now that he is not married, the marriage has been decided, Duanmujun should start thinking about herself, right?

Duanmu Fei blinked and looked at Duanmu Jun seriously.

Seeing that his sister was serious, Duanmu Jun was also very serious. She sat down next to Duanmu Fei, and said as a matter of course: "Zhen Zhen, you are still only married, and you haven't married yet, I'm not in a hurry." ”

Duanmujun thinks it's good now, if she becomes a parent, she will have to spend a lot of energy on other things, and she won't have time to take care of her sister.

Duanmujun raised his hand and rubbed the top of Duanmu's soft hair, a pair of gentle eyes seemed to contain thousands of stars in the night sky, shining brightly and incredibly gentle.

She promised her father and mother that she would take good care of her sister. Therefore, she has to personally manage her sister's wedding, watch her sister get married, and entrust her sister's hand to her brother-in-law.

"......" looked at the gentle and firm eyes of the upper end of the wooden hair, Duanmu was speechless, and could only drink tea silently, and said in his heart: Well, it's good that my sister is happy.

Anyway, she can also quietly help her sister keep an eye out for suitable candidates...... Duanmu Fei made up his mind.

Duanmujun looked at his sister's delicate side face, and felt that his sister really looked good-looking, hey, such a good sister would soon be someone else's family......

Duanmujun was reluctant for a while, and then, taking advantage of another thing, he asked, "Zhen Zhen, I remember that Feng Gongzi should leave tomorrow, right?" ”

Before she finished speaking, the little starling on her shoulder had already exclaimed excitedly: "Quack! ”

Duanmu Fei replied and didn't go to see the little starling.

Thousands of miles away, the situation in Puguo is unknown, Duanmu Jun said in his heart that he was not worried that it was fake, but he was also afraid that his sister would see the clues, so he didn't dare to think about it, and asked again: "Zhen Zhen, will you go tomorrow to see you off?" ”

Of course she had to go. Duanmu Fei nodded, "I have already made an appointment with Cousin You, and I will go to see off Gongzi Feng together tomorrow morning." ”

"Quack!" The little starling screamed excitedly again, with a look of disgust, flapped his wings and flew out of the window......

Duanmu Jun blinked inexplicably, not knowing what happened to the little starling.

Duanmu bent the corners of his mouth, smiled innocently, and exchanged a knowing look with the little fox who looked up, the little starling was scared away by someone who represented the three words "Feng Gongzi".

Someone's aftermath is terrifying! Duanmu thought with a sigh.

The little starling flew away, and Wisteria came in again, bringing news that surprised both sisters: "The eldest girl, the fourth girl, and the second lady of the Feng family are here." ”

Duanmufei and Duanmujun intuitively looked at each other, and after being stunned, the sisters reacted that the "seal" of the Feng family was the "seal" of Feng Yan.

"Zhenzhen, let's go meet you." Duanmujun stood up and stroked his skirt.

Although the eldest princess of Anping took Feng Yan to live alone in the princess's mansion and did not interact with the Feng family for a long time, Feng Yan still had the surname "Feng" after all.

Duanmu Fei was given a marriage to the Feng family by the emperor's decree, and now the Feng family is visiting, and they are always rude when they don't see the party.

Duanmu Fei answered, then stood up as well, took his sister's arm and went to the Zhenqu Hall at the front of the backyard.

Bypassing a few courtyards, they went around from the east side of the Zhenqu Hall to the front door, and at a glance they saw three Feng family ladies sitting in the hall.

Two beautiful women in their thirties and a girl in their prime, two of whom are Feng Yuzhi's wife Jiang and daughter Feng Congyan, this last strange beauty is naturally the second lady of the Feng family.

Second Mrs. Feng looks of medium stature, with fair skin, plump figure, a bright smile on a goose egg face, wearing a chestnut twig flower dark pattern jacket, a green silk neatly combed in a round bun, only wearing a pair of white jade flat squares between the buns, simple and generous without losing the nobility.

Duanmujun smiled and crossed the threshold with his skirt, his eyes shining slightly. This family is also "hearted", knowing that it is not appropriate to let a flat wife of the Jiang family come to the door, so they deliberately pulled the second Mrs. Feng again, plus Feng Congyan is Feng Yan's younger sister, so no matter where they go, they will not say that the Feng family does not understand the rules.

"Second Lady Feng." Duanmujun and Duanmufei stepped forward to greet the second lady Feng who was bowed down, which was regarded as a courtesy.

As soon as Mrs. Feng saw the two sisters, the smile on her face became even brighter, and she said with a smile: "This is a pair of beautiful sister flowers. She took one of Duanmufei's little hands again, and was full of praise, "You are the fourth girl of Duanmu, you are really knowledgeable, virtuous and generous, our family Ah Yan is really a blessed one." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Feng Congyan's mouth hooked a disapproving arc, and the Jiang family immediately noticed it, and secretly pulled her daughter's sleeve, giving her a warning look.

Feng Congyan hurriedly made a low-eyed appearance and played with the handkerchief in his hand.

After Mrs. Feng smiled sincerely and praised Duanmu Fei for a few more words, she took a gold bracelet from the maid and gave it to her, saying that it was a meeting gift.

Duanmu thanked the other party quietly, exchanged pleasantries, and then asked someone to sit down.

The two maids neatly served hot tea to the master and the guests, and the tea was fragrant.

Second Mrs. Feng took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile: "Miss Duanmu, Fourth Girl, the three of us are specially coming to the door today on the orders of Mrs. Tai, if you have any presumptuousness, please forgive me." ”

"Where." Duanmu smiled politely.

Second Lady Feng continued: "I heard that the day before yesterday, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Anping personally came to make a small decision, and Mrs. Tai pondered that it would not be 'proper' for the Feng family to come again, so she specially ordered us to come a few days later." ”

Second Mrs. Feng said some scenes very beautifully, as if everything they did for the Feng family was for the sake of Anping and the Duanmu family.

Duanmujun only politely responded with a sentence of "I see" and "Mrs. Tai is really 'thinking about Zhou'", and did not say much.

She was already smart, and she had been in charge of the feed for so long, how could she believe the other party's polite words to whitewash the peace.

The corners of Duanmujun's mouth curled slightly, and he understood very well in his heart, even if because of Anping, the Feng family did not come to Xiaoding that day, what about before and after Xiaoding?

The Feng family came at this delicate time, and I am afraid that it was like other mansions in Beijing, because they knew that Lord Cen had come to send a congratulatory gift to his sister, so they rushed here!

No matter what Duanmujun thought in his heart, he didn't show half a point on his face, and he was always smiling.

Second Mrs. Feng praised Duanmu Jun a few more words, praised her for her ability, and made the small ceremony of that day decent, and then entered the topic with a smile, and said: "My wife has been waiting for Ah Yan to marry a wife for so many years, and she is very happy to know that the emperor has appointed four girls for Ah Yan, and she is really a few years younger all of a sudden. Mrs. Tai has been thinking about her future granddaughter-in-law for the past few days, and wants the fourth girl of Duanmu to go to the cold house in a few days, and also let the old lady take a look at the future granddaughter-in-law. ”

As she spoke, Second Mrs. Feng looked at Duanmufei expectantly, Duanmufei sat on a circle chair, put her hands on her knees in a regular manner, looking well-behaved, just pursed her lips and smiled, neither saying good nor bad.

Second Mrs. Feng only thought that Duanmu Fei was a little girl's family, and thought that the purpose of her trip had been achieved, so she got up with a smile and said goodbye: "The two girls want to be busy, then I won't bother." ”

Duanmu Jun smiled and said to a housekeeper: "Mama Liu, you send the second lady and the third lady." ”

Mama Liu walked to Mrs. Feng with a smile, saluted thoughtfully, and stretched out her hand to make an invitation.

The Jiang family on the side looked at Duanmu Fei with a slight glint in his eyes, and also stood up, gentle and elegant. Actually, she has something to say to Duanmufei, but now is not the right time.

Jiang quietly pinched the handkerchief in his hand, and said in his heart: Don't worry, let's wait for Duanmu Fei to come to seal the mansion. When she comes to her own territory, are you afraid that she won't have a chance?!

Jiang and Feng Congyan's mother and daughter also said goodbye to the sisters in a proper manner, and the three of them came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Under the guidance of Mama Liu, Second Mrs. Feng walked towards the direction of Yimen with her head held high, full of ambition.

Originally, since Feng Yuzhi got "hysteria" when he hunted in the autumn of last year, the Feng family wanted to ease the relationship with the Eldest Princess of Anping's Mansion, but Mrs. Feng sent people to invite Feng Yan to come to the Mansion several times, and Feng Yan was unmoved.

After being rejected again and again, Mrs. Feng was also unhappy, so she knew that Feng Yan was given marriage, but she didn't know it, so she wanted Feng Yan to lose face.

Anyway, Feng Yan is the Feng family, and his future daughter-in-law is recognized by Anping?!

The daughter-in-law of the Feng family wants to enter the family tree, now Feng Yan does not recognize the Feng family, and Feng Yan is not going to come to beg the Feng family in the future, after all, Duanmu Fei can't enter the family tree for a day, this marriage is not right, and after she dies in the future, she will not be able to enter the ancestral grave of the Feng family!

Mrs. Feng's abacus played very well, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden news in the capital, saying that Lord Cen had recognized the fourth girl of Duanmu as a righteous sister.

This news made the entire Fengfu boil!

This is a great opportunity to get in touch with Lord Cen Du, after all, their Feng family is Duanmu's justifiable future in-law.

Duanmu Fei is not yet twelve years old, and she is just a little girl's family, and she is not as arrogant as Anping and Feng Yan's mother and son, thinking that as long as Mrs. Feng says a good word or two as an elder, she can coax her to be obedient, let her go to Lord Cen to say a few good words for the Feng family, that is, Feng Yu is still guilty of "hysteria", and the Feng family is not only a man!

For example, my own master.

Second Mrs. Feng thought, a light smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was quite satisfied with the harvest of today's trip.

This Duanmu Fei looked like a well-behaved little girl as they expected, and she was very easy to fiddle with.

Looking at the backs of the three members of the Feng family who were gradually moving away, Duanmujun and Duanmufei quickly withdrew their gaze, and the sisters did not stay in the True Fun Hall for a long time, and after drinking the cup of tea in their hands, they walked hand in hand in the direction of Zhanqing Courtyard.

The warm spring breeze was blowing in his face, and Duanmujun suddenly asked, "Zhenzhen, are you going to Fengfu?" ”

Duanmujun's dark eyes were clear and calm, when he was in the hunting palace, Duanmujun saw the Feng family's style of acting, and he looked down on the Feng family, but the Feng family is Feng Yan's own family, and Mrs. Feng is her sister's future grandmother, and everything is still up to her sister to decide.

Duanmu smiled with crooked lips, and said as a matter of course: "I didn't say I was going." ”

She just sat obediently and didn't speak, how could they understand or misunderstand, they can't blame her, right?!

Duanmu Fei's little face was smiling, and a pair of shallow pear vortices appeared on his lips with a smile, and his big eyes were slightly narrowed, just like the little fox in the house.

My sister is so cute. Duanmujun looked at Duanmu's lips and the corners of his mouth also curled, and said with a smile: "Then don't go, the Feng family is not a good family anyway." "Pity Feng Yan, just spread out such a father!

Thinking about it, Duanmujun swept a tear of sympathy for her future brother-in-law, and chattered with her sister that when she went to see off Feng Yan tomorrow, should she bring him something, such as snacks, such as dry food......

Duanmu Fei obediently echoed.

Early the next morning, Feng Yan, the little starling's "heart and mind", led a delegation of nearly 40 envoys, including the accompanying forbidden army, to leave Beijing from the West City Gate and go to Puguo in the northwest.

Since the news of King Pu's death came from the northwest, the court has been fighting endlessly over who will make Pu Guo, and there are many prevarications, until the emperor issued an order, no one thought that Feng Yan would take on this errand.

At most, the errand of going to Puguo to "mourn" is a futile, but once there is a slight mistake, Feng Yan will undoubtedly be charged with a crime that is not conducive to doing things and even leads to the discord between the two countries, and he is speechless.

Although many officials and wives in Beijing also know that the county lord of Xinle, who is close to Puguo, had a bit of an old relationship with the eldest princess of Anping, however, I haven't seen it for many years, and this old relationship may have disappeared completely.

No matter which prince ascends the throne on the Pu side, it is already merciful that the new king can accommodate her successor from the previous king.

Many people are embarrassed, and some pessimists even feel that Feng Yan's trip may be more auspicious, in case he has a case, then the eldest princess of Anping is afraid that she will also collapse......

Some even suspect that this may have been the emperor's purpose.

For a few days in a row, there were different opinions in Beijing, and they spread in private.

These gossips are that Bi Chan didn't dare to say it to Duanmufei, just forget it if you heard it......

Other people in the mansion may not know, but the Bi Chan and the green pothos who served next to Duanmu Fei vaguely felt that something was wrong with the four girls.
