Chapter 196: Well-behaved
"Grandfather had a point." Feng Zhirong tugged at the corners of her mouth, although she also had a lot of feelings about Feng Xu's words, she was still relieved: "At least I am wholeheartedly for Daye now, and there are many pairs of eyes such as King Jing and King Qinghe next to me, and the final verdict of everything is not something I can decide, but there will be no big problem." Although she was so relieved in her mouth, in fact, the thoughts in her heart were no different from what she said yesterday with Yuzhu, Fang Chun and even King Jing, that is, she wanted to grow from a person who was sheltered to a person who could shelter people - but she couldn't say such an ambition in front of Feng Xu, after all, with her now, such an ideal is just empty words, and there is no possibility of realizing it.
Feng Xu frowned, and said, "They...... They are all reasonable people, but they still have to be cautious in everything. ”
"I've always kept that in mind." Feng Zhirong nodded, and saw that Feng Xu seemed to have nothing to say, so she changed the topic and said, "Grandfather, is there anything going on at home these days?" For example...... Has Fifth Brother's Qiu Yu been released? The fifth brother in Feng Zhirong's mouth is his brother-in-law who is dedicated to business.
Feng Xu nodded and said, "I was admitted, he didn't want to be here, and he didn't want to take the exam again, and he will be sent far away in the spring of next year." ”
"What about Big Brother?" Feng Zhirong suddenly thought that she hadn't been able to see Feng Xuhui before she entered the palace to study, so she asked: "When the eldest brother left home last time, he only said that he was going to the nearby state capital to talk about something, but he was delayed for several more days, and I don't know if it went well?" ”
Feng Xu frowned and said, "At that time, it was smooth to reply to the letter, but soon it went to the northwest again. ”
"Northwest?" Feng Zhirong wondered, "Is it Shayu or Bianfang?" "The reason why Feng Zhirong would ask this is that if you take the entire Daye as the base point, Shayu is in the north, north and west, and Bianfang is in the northwest; But in terms of Daye Capital, which is the location of Fengfu, Shayu is in the northwest.
"It's Shayu." Feng Xu said: "A few years ago, Xu Hui sold silk to Guangsha in the west through some familiar merchants, and this year he opened up a route to Bianfang...... It's just that he said that the people on Shayu's side have repeatedly robbed the goods, and they like it very much, so they sent someone to explore, and maybe there is a new way to go. ”
Feng Zhirong said: "Dare to love this sand jade is really childish, if you want to buy it, just say it!" Are you still guilty of robbing your neighbors? ”
Feng Xu explained: "After all, the language of the West is very different from Daye, although there are many people in Guangsha and Bianfang who are familiar with the language of Daye, but the Shayu people are only fluent in Xiantuo in addition to their own local dialect. Feng Zhirong has long known that almost the entire northern country belongs to the same language family, but due to historical reasons, almost all countries and tribes speak Xiantuo.
Thinking like this, Feng Zhirong casually asked, "Big brother can understand Shayu's language...... Or Xiantuo? ”
"The territory of Daye is rich in resources, and even the people who have lived in the frontier for a long time can hardly fully understand those languages, but they may be able to hire people who can understand the languages when they get there." Saying this, Feng Xu looked at Feng Zhirong with some subtle eyes, which made Feng Zhirong feel a chill for no reason. Sure enough, Feng Xu finally asked, "You little girl, when did you secretly learn Xiantuo language?" ”
Feng Zhirong only screamed in her heart when she heard it, she didn't open the pot! Just because Feng Xu didn't ask himself before, he relaxed his vigilance for a while! ──
On the one hand, he wailed in his heart, but on the other hand, he also said with innocent and aggrieved eyes: "Grandfather can ask the prince, I promised him not to say it again." Feng Zhirong's words were not lies, after all, after she told King Jing the story of "the woman in the dream", she told him that she really didn't want to say such a thing anymore, and King Jing also comforted her at the time and said that if she didn't want to say it, no one could force her to say it
Seeing that his granddaughter had moved King Jing out, Feng Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's only been half a year since you entered the palace, and you have learned to deal with your grandfather like this?" ”
Feng Zhirong cautiously observed that Feng Xu was not angry or dissatisfied, so she pulled Feng Xu's sleeve coquettishly and said, "Okay! Don't do this, grandfather! My mother said that my uncle made me a snack, and we went to eat it together, how about it? ”
"Later! I'll have guests later, so you'll go and have fun by yourself. ”
Feng Zhirong observed Feng Xu's expression for a while before obediently retiring, and on the other hand, she didn't think about snacks, only thinking about who she should greet her......
Feng Zhirong was sent back to the Feng Mansion after breakfast in the palace, so it was still early, and the male dependents either went to court early or studied hard, so there were only a few female dependents left in the Feng Mansion who could be disturbed.
Feng Zhirong thought about it and decided to go around the kitchen first.
The kitchen of the Feng Mansion is located at the edge of the inner hall, which is a small courtyard, and there is a small open space in front of the kitchen where the fire is lit for the servants to prepare the ingredients, and a group of servants will work here before the three meals every day. Because the servants of the Feng Mansion were not abundant, shortly before the meal, only one of the servants in each room and courtyard would be left to wait by his side, and the rest would come to this place to work and listen to Cao Zhongyu's command.
When Feng Zhirong went to the kitchen at this moment, it was the most leisurely time for this head, only a few servants were cleaning, and one of the half-white-haired servants did not hide the surprise on his face when he saw Feng Zhirong coming: "Miss is back!" …… Who are the latter two? ”
"Yes! Uncle Weng, I'm back! The latter two are the people who follow me in the palace. After Feng Zhirong briefly introduced the identities of Yuzhu and Fang Chun behind her, she asked Weng Liang, the kitchen steward, "Is my aunt inside?" ”
"All three ladies are inside!" Weng Liang replied, as if he remembered something, and said, "Miss, the second lady of Fang Cai ordered someone to send snacks to the pavilion, but Miss has met her?" ”
"Alas!" Feng Zhirong was stunned for a moment and said, "I thought I should say hello to the elders first, but I forgot about it...... It's okay, thank you, Uncle Weng, I'll go in first and go back to the pavilion. ”
Weng Liang's wrinkled face smiled happily: "Miss doesn't need to be so polite to us subordinates, it will lose her identity." ”
"If you want me to judge, only rude people lose their identity!" Feng Zhirong replied with a grin, and then walked straight into the kitchen.
"Mother, aunt, uncle!" As soon as Feng Zhirong stepped into the kitchen, she saw that the three elders were cooperating in the production of points, and she was not surprised to see Feng Zhirong come in, but took turns to greet her.
Cao Zhongyu was very happy when she saw Feng Zhirong and said, "Alas! Rong'er, why didn't you go for a snack first? Your aunt did a lot of it early! ”
Feng Zhirong also smiled: "Hey, I'm also anxious to eat, but I'm even more anxious to see my aunt and uncle!" ”
