Chapter 16: The Feng Family

Feng Zhirong's pouting appearance made Cao Zhongyu see it, and said to Zhou Youshao: "Brother and sister can get along with Rong'er more these days, just leave these preparations to me, or in the next three years, there will be less gathering and more separation, and in the blink of an eye, my daughter will get married." ”

Zhou Youshao said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this, I still have to do what my mother should do, but this child is really free on weekdays, and she has to be restrained and restrained in the next few days." ”

Feng Zhirong couldn't help pouting and protesting: "Mother, people are very well-behaved!" ”

Zhou Youshao said with a smile: "No matter how you are, you are always as quiet as the daughter of another house, and in the next few days, you have to put down the things you usually play with, and your mother has to teach you needlework well, otherwise you will have the opportunity to be laughed at after entering the palace." ”

"Hmm." Although Feng Zhirong can needlework, she is indeed much worse than the women who pee in this world, and she understands neat sewing, and simple embroidery is barely possible, but if she wants to be like Zhou Youshao, Cao Zhongyu and even other embroidery girls, she can embroider the neat patterns of dragon flying and phoenix dancing can make her vomit blood three liters!

Feng Zhirong, who originally wanted to protest, thought about it, and felt that she shouldn't show childish willful resistance at this time, so she asked, "Do you also learn needlework in the palace?" ”

Zhou Youshao said as a matter of course: "Yes! That's what girls have to learn all the time. ”

Cao Zhongyu added: "Although the daughter of the Feng Mansion does not need to sew the wedding dress by herself, and the regular clothes on weekdays are also managed by the embroiderer, but after getting married in the future, she will always have to embroider something for the child and her husband." ”

Thinking of this, Feng Zhirong only felt dizzy: "Hey, like that...... Aren't the other embroiderers going to lose their jobs? ”

Zhou Youshao smiled when he heard this: "You kid, just like how many people in our Feng Mansion need clothes?" Not every dress has to be made by you yourself, why will embroidery girls have no work to do? ”

Feng Zhirong scratched her face with a smirk and said, "I didn't think about it so much. ”

Zhou Youshao didn't pay attention to it when he heard it, and he didn't stop at hand, and said: "My mother picked out two boxes for you first, you can see if there are any more you like, it's good to pick a few more." ”

Feng Zhirong looked at the jewelry on tiptoe, and put out the things in the box of jewelry they sorted out for themselves one by one to inspect, and asked questions about everything, so that she confirmed all the jewelry she wanted.

Zhou Youshao was born in everyone and has a vision, although Cao Zhongyu's family is not particularly wealthy, but he has also been a scholar from generation to generation, and he also has a taste, and Feng Zhirong was born in addition to the knowledge of this life, which is the vision and taste of the actress in her previous life as an actress, so the three of them have the same vision for the selection of jewelry.

So Feng Zhirong simply didn't pick and choose, just fiddled with the jewelry on the table a few times, and said: "My mother and aunt are all good-looking, so it's good." ”

Zhou Youshao and Cao Zhongyu couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard Feng Zhirong's words, the two adults thought of going together, and Zhou Youshao said: "You kid don't play with these things on weekdays, I'm afraid you will have to see it in the future." Saying that, I thought that Feng Zhirong hadn't thought about anything, but was just troublesome and wanted to be lazy.

Feng Zhirong didn't intend to deny it when she heard it, but she smiled: "My mother taught me!" Don't be afraid! ”

Zhou Youshao took Feng Zhirong to the mirror on the side and gently pressed her to sit down, took out one or two from the box and fiddled with it in front of her hair, and said: "When you enter the palace, you will also have palace maids to serve, although these things seem complicated, but they are not difficult, in the future, when you enter the palace and learn manners, you can't run and jump at will, and you are not afraid that the hairpin is not reliable." ”

Feng Zhirong listened to the black lines on her face and said, "I thought my mother asked me to sit here and wanted to say something to me!" It turned out to be a joke! She still remembers the first time Zhou Youshao pinned the bead flower for her by herself, she felt awkward, so she deliberately "flung off" the bead flower on her head through various "natural" noises, which made the Feng family laugh, which didn't make her have to dress up carefully on weekdays.

Cao Zhongyu laughed even more when he heard this, and said, "That's it, Rong'er will work hard in the future." ”

Feng Zhirong turned her gaze back to herself in the bronze mirror, only to feel that although the mirror was polished, it was still far from the modern silver nitrate washed mirror, and she only felt that it hurt her eyes when she looked left and right, so she moved to her lap and looked in a daze.

She thought that after picking out the jewelry and choosing the fabric, it would be time for dinner, and she was afraid that these not very interesting things would be delayed until tomorrow after a long time, so she stood up and said that she wanted to finish the matter quickly.

The two adults were anxious when they thought of the child, and they didn't suspect him, so they concentrated on picking fabrics with Feng Zhirong. Later, the embroidery lady in the mansion came over to measure Feng Zhirong's length again, and it took a whole hour to finish everything.

At this time, it was already dusk, Cao Zhongyu had already gone to the kitchen to watch the servants Zhang Luofeng's dinner up and down, and after Zhou Youshao asked the maids to clean up, he wanted to pull Feng Zhirong to talk, but he looked at his personal maid Yunbi and ran in with a happy face and said, "Second lady, the eldest young master is back!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Youshao and Feng Zhirong were taken aback, and Zhou Youshao also hurriedly walked out at this time and said, "Didn't the kid say that the road was delayed?" How did this come back so quickly? ”

Yun Bi said happily: "The slave maid didn't hear it clearly, so she hurriedly came to inform Madame, the young master is now going to the old man's study, and the second master and the young lady are also there, just waiting for you!" ”

Zhou Youshao was happy to hear this, and when he turned around, he remembered that Feng Zhirong was following him, so he slowed down and waited for Feng Zhirong to follow, changed back to his usual calm appearance, and pulled Feng Zhirong to the study of Huili Courtyard accompanied by the maids.

The eldest young master mentioned by Yun Bi is Zhou Youshao's eldest son Feng Xuhui, who originally served as the editor of the Seven Products in the Hanlin Academy and was responsible for managing the history of the country, but later resigned to engage in business and has traveled all over the world since then.

Feng Fu has not yet substantially separated the family of Feng Zhengdao's generation, so there has been a disagreement on the title for a while.

Feng Zhengdao's brother Feng Zhenghui and Cao Zhongyu had a son and a daughter, the eldest son Feng Xuchao is Feng Xu's eldest grandson, he was called the eldest young master by the servants at home, but later served as a sub-official in the field for a while, so Feng Xuhui, the eldest son of Feng Zhengdao, who was the longest-ranking next, inherited the title of the eldest young master.

I don't know who started it, Feng Xuchao was called the little master, and the four sons under Feng Zhengdao were ranked in order, and when Feng Zhengdao's brother Feng Zhengxun's only son Feng Xuji was called, the ranking was omitted and called the young master.
