Chapter 13: The Feng Family's Status

Feng Zhirong was puzzled by her father's sudden reaction, and she couldn't help but be infected by such an atmosphere. "Why?" She saw that Feng Zhengdao only came back to his senses for a moment, and then fell into thought, so she asked one more question: "If the marriage is not decided by the father and mother, is it still the grandparents?" ”

Feng Zhengdao shook his head and thought for a while before deciding to say a few more words to Feng Zhirong. I saw him pull Feng Zhirong to the chair next to him and sit down, and said to her, "Do you know the current status of the Feng family?" ”

Feng Zhirong didn't think about it, and told everything she knew: "My grandfather was an important minister in the court, and when he resigned, he was comforted by the emperor many times, my uncle was a general before his death, and he was posthumously awarded the title after his death, my father was a third-grade Zhan Shi, and my grandmother and aunt were both first-class Mrs. Fate...... It's a great honor. ”

Feng Zhirong racked her brains, and tried hard to recite the official names of her relatives: "There is also the eldest brother who was also an official in the court, the second brother is also the governor now, and the uncle is in the Ministry of Industry......"

Feng Zhengdao nodded, and didn't let her continue to memorize: "In short, the Feng Mansion may not be comparable to the meritorious service of the founding of the country, and it cannot be compared with the princess of the world, the roots are not deep, but it is also thanks to the grace of the first emperor and His Majesty that there is a family of honorable merits, and you are the only daughter of our Feng family, which is extraordinary......"

Feng Zhirong's mind couldn't turn, and she asked directly, "Why?" If the children of ordinary families always want to climb high, but the Feng family is just winning glory for themselves, and they don't want to make merit and become a knight all day long, so they don't want to sell their daughter! ”

Feng Zhengdao smiled bitterly and said, "I won't sell you, but everyone thinks that you, the only girl in the Feng family who has not come out of the cabinet, are a pearl to be sold." ”

Feng Zhirong pouted and said, "Dad won't sell me!" Could it be that there are still people who want to snatch people from their fathers and grandfathers? ”

"Silly boy, there will be no one who can snatch you away from the Feng family," Feng Zhengdao paused, his expression was very solemn: "But it doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't." ”

Feng Zhirong only felt a bad feeling rising from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time, she began to feel uneasy in her heart, so she simply looked around, and asked Bai Ze and Bai Ya, who had been waiting aside, to make a pot of tea for Feng Zhengdao. ”

"It's natural that you don't understand, but you'll understand later." Feng Zhengdao didn't know why he suddenly stopped talking, Feng Zhirong was eager to know more information, and couldn't help but beg: "Dad, people want to know!" ”

Feng Zhengdao looked at Feng Zhirong's coquettish appearance, and his heart softened, and said, "Does the baby know that the palace has to be drafted every few years?" ”

"Draft?"

Feng Zhengdao nodded and said: "There are still a few rankings in the draft, choose the children of good families to enter the palace as palace maids, or choose the daughters of the civil and military officials who have not left the cabinet as the marriage match of the royal family......

Feng Zhirong almost fainted when she heard it, she used to watch a lot of TV and act in a lot of scripts, why didn't she expect that there would be this layer? I'm so stupid! - But it's no wonder, after all, drama is drama, and if you live in a dynasty in your previous life, it's normal for something to be too old and too far away from you, and it's normal for you to be difficult to react for a moment, but it's just ......

No way!

Can she shout and rob the people's daughter?

Feng Zhirong had thousands of cranky thoughts like "a hundred ways to die in the royal family" in her mind, most of which came from the TV series and novels she watched in her previous life, and her face was full of black lines.

Feng Zhengdao looked at his daughter who seemed to be ignorant, although he didn't want to say any more, but he had to continue because he started: "...... If it is the daughter of an important minister in the court, it will be selected first. Although my father is not a member of the court, the Zhan Mansion in charge is the top priority of the emperor, and it is expected that he will be looked at. ”

Feng Zhirong couldn't help showing her bitter gourd face: "Hello...... That's not good! ”

"The little girl knows a lot, and your grandfather told you about the things in the palace on weekdays?"

Feng Zhirong consciously wanted to show her feet, so she said: "Don't everyone say that the rules in the palace are strict? The more ordinary the peddler and pawn, the more sparse the rules, and the daughter is happy at home, it is so just right and very good, so I don't want to live awkward in a place with strict rules! ”

Feng Zhengdao said: "When you enter the palace to study in the future, you will also learn those rules." ”

Feng Zhirong felt bad when she heard it: "Hey! Father! I thought about it! ”

"How?"

"Entering the palace to study means that you are one step closer to the future that your daughter wants to avoid, what should I do!" Feng Zhirong looked a little flustered: "No, you won't be able to get out!" ”

"No......" Feng Zhengdao didn't expect Feng Zhirong's brain to turn so fast, and looking at her immature face, she could think of the horizon in a cranky way, and secretly felt funny in her heart, but she didn't show half a point, only said: "You have only been in the palace to study for three years, and you will be a cardamom after three years, but you are not in a hurry to get married." ”

"But the nurse said that I decree that a woman should be betrothed to fifteen at the latest, but doesn't that mean that she can be betrothed away at any time before the age of fifteen?" Feng Zhirong is right, although she is engaged at the age of fifteen at the latest, if there is a family affair that is right for the family, it will be booked by both families and even families early; In particular, if a woman is engaged at an early age, if she stays close to her neighborhood, unless she has a big family, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a good family.

Feng Zhengdao listened to Feng Zhirong's words, and couldn't help but scold: "You baby, how can you talk like a commodity?" ”

Feng Zhirong felt aggrieved: "Yes! Marriage can't help but make your own decisions, and you can't allow your family to protect and make decisions, isn't it just a commercial commodity that can be negotiated by others? ”

Feng Zhengdao said: "Although I can't say that, many things are still unreasonable. ”

Feng Zhirong didn't want to embarrass her father, but all she thought about and felt in her heart was grievances and the injustice of this era, although she felt unhappy in her heart, she still forced herself to say: "Dad, if there is really such a day, my daughter will definitely not embarrass you." ”

Feng Zhengdao looked at his daughter, who was not yet ten years old, and only felt that the light emanating from her eyes was very extraordinary. It's just that today's aggrieved and forcible words of her are still what he, a father, does not want to hear.

Feng Zhirong thought that she was still a child now, and it might not be convincing to say this, so she seriously expressed her heart again: "Although I am usually willful, I also know the truth of drinking water and thinking about the source, and my father can rest assured." ”

Feng Zhengdao listened to Feng Zhirong's words, and only felt full of relief in his heart, and the father and daughter looked at each other for a while with their respective thoughts, until the chatter and laughter of Bai Ze and Bai Ya came not far away, and then they returned to their usual appearance.
