12 Chapter 12

The next day, Zhao Qi was worried, and went to the gambling house to inquire without telling Qing'e, and learned that Feng Jun's results were really as he said, so he closed his door and devoted himself to preparing for the imperial examination in February.

Jiang Zhiheng saw that Zhao Qi was particularly concerned about Feng Juncheng's whereabouts, rubbing his thumb against the card, and muttered in his heart for a while, worried that he had found something, and then planned to inform Feng Juncheng of this matter.

He temporarily came to visit Feng's mansion, passed through the black throttle, and saw a few small servants in the gatehouse sitting together to smoke leaves, and there were three strangely dressed boys standing around, holding their sleeves and looking attentively, showing that there were guests visiting the mansion.

Jiang Zhiheng immediately asked the maid who led the way, whose servant was it.

The little maid was also peeking at the second master Heng who was in the wind in Yushu, and blushed when she was caught: "It's the second lady and the uncle, who are talking to the old lady." ”

Jiang Zhiheng raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked instead, "What about your young master?" ”

"The young master is also with the old lady, why don't you follow me to Fenglai Pavilion for a while, and I will go back to the young master."

"There is Miss Lao, you don't need to rush him, I'll wait in Fenglai Pavilion."

The corner of Jiang Zhiheng's robe stroked the beautifully carved wooden railing on the corridor, came to Feng Juncheng's study, sat down by the window, and made tea.

The incense burner on the small table is still rising white smoke, smelling the simplest and purest sandalwood.

On the table was spread out half of the article written by Feng Juncheng, Jiang Zhiheng picked it up and read a few lines at random, and then twisted his eyebrows and flipped over two more sheets, so that the content was attractive, and he read it carefully word by word.

Patronizing and surprised, not paying attention to someone calling him behind him, Jiang Zhiheng turned around in surprise, never expecting to see Feng Zhiyu here.

"Second Miss." Jiang Zhiheng put down the things in his hand, and picked them up at a loss, "Why are you here?" ”

Feng Zhiyu was stunned, it was the first time in several years to look at this brother's friend at close range, different from Feng Juncheng's temperament of "strangers like jade", Jiang Zhiheng was written on his face, and he smiled very much, and he didn't have a positive shape at all.

But one thing is good, talking to people like him is naturally not so restrained.

Feng Zhiyu himself was also straight-tempered, and chuckled: "It's really you, I feel familiar when I look at it from a distance." Why am I here? That's an interesting question. A few of them are talking in my father's study, so I'll come here to borrow a book to see, but you, why don't you call someone to report to him, you are a guest, it's not good to be lazy. ”

Jiang Zhiheng was respectful, "It's okay, I think that the second sister will rarely come back, so it's not good to bother." ”

"So what are you doing here and waiting?" Feng Zhiyu went straight to the table, looked down, and recognized the handwriting, "This is an article written by Juncheng, and Second Master Heng is going to apply for the Jinshi exam next year?" ”

Jiang Zhiheng didn't hide it, and smiled, "It's not as good as Shi Qian, I still have to wait three years to apply for another township exam." ”

In fact, he himself was reluctant to devote himself to his career, and somehow, in front of Feng Zhiyu, it was extremely difficult to admit this sentence in his heart.

The two chatted a few words unfamiliarly, Feng Juncheng rushed over, and Huang Ruixiang, who was still looking for his wife, was mediocre and looked similar to Master Huang when he was young, so at first glance it was a talent.

The three "talents" in the room gathered, this is the first time Jiang Zhiheng and Huang Ruixiang have met, and the two have reported their names, only then did they know that Huang Ruixiang's expression "South Wind" is unexpectedly elegant compared with the name.

"The name was given by my grandfather, and the word was given by my father." Huang Ruixiang smiled, "Therefore, many people say that my name is very different, and it is true." ”

Feng Zhiyu saw that others looked like dogs, flipping through the book but laughing silently, knowing that Feng Juncheng couldn't get used to him, he urged, "Before coming out, I promised your mother to respond to Tianfu before dark, pay attention to the sky, let's go." ”

Huang Ruixiang arched his hand, "I hate to see this Hongwen brother late, and I can't care about time when we talk." ”

"I'll send my second sister." Feng Juncheng raised his knees and followed, and Jiang Zhiheng also sent him out when he saw this.

The two of them sent out of the shadow wall all the way, and only turned around when they saw the carriage driving away, Feng Juncheng saw that Jiang Zhiheng was still looking at the alley, frowning and laughing at him, "Why are you still sympathetic to this Huang Ruixiang?" I was angry when I saw him, and my face was in our house. ”

Jiang Zhiheng sighed lightly and looked at him, "I came to ask you something important, and when I go to a place where no one is around, I will talk to you in detail." ”

Feng Juncheng had roughly understood this when he heard this, and when he heard it, he was also panicked, how could Zhao Qi ask about his whereabouts?

"Could it be that I was bumped into at the liquor store that day?"

Jiang Zhiheng was greatly surprised, "You really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you dared to go to the wine store to meet her." ”

Feng Juncheng replied with a straight face: "I won't go, how can I let her know my mind, she is looking forward to someone taking her away, I always have to give her some hopes." ”

Jiang Zhiheng twisted his eyebrows and said: "She is a married woman, and I also sigh that you write good articles, and if you read these books in vain, you will not be afraid of thunder and thunder!" ”

Others couldn't stop him, so they had to move out of God to scare him, but Feng Juncheng said: "If God has eyes, I should meet her first." ”

"You ......"

Jiang Zhiheng also lost his voice suddenly, as if he had been poked in the soft flesh under the ribs, and he couldn't argue.

Knowing that it was wrong to do this, but there was no reason to stop it, seeing Feng Juncheng suddenly walking out, Jiang Zhiheng hurriedly stopped him.

"Where are you going?"

Feng Juncheng opened his legs and couldn't stop for a moment, "I told Wang Ban to go to the wine shop to take a look, don't really have an accident, she can't deal with it alone." ”

"Feng Shiqian!"

Jiang Zhiheng had nothing to say, trapped in place by the invisible wall, and couldn't stop smacking his tongue.

Wang Ban took the order to take a look at the wine shop, came back and said that everything was as usual, and when she went, she saw that she was happily greeting the guests who came to buy wine, and she was refreshed, and told the young master not to worry.

Feng Juncheng finally put her mind at ease, and asked her what color clothes she wore today, what kind of jewelry she was wearing, where did Wang Ban remember clearly, even if she remembered it clearly, she didn't dare to say it as many family treasures, only roughly said that it was a silver bead-colored bijia, and her hair bun seemed to have a silver hairpin buried with a light pole.

As soon as he described it, the little young master paced twice in the room with a scroll in his hand, pushed the window and saw that it was early winter, took a deep breath to cool and refresh, laughed headlessly, leaned against the window and read the book carefully.

Outside the house, Xiuyun listened to the whispers of the master and servant in the window screen, secretly said strangely, kept a heart, and when Wang Ban came out, he turned around the corridor and stopped the person.

"Brother, please stay."

Su Ri Feng Juncheng is the closest to Wang Ban, even if Xiuyun Ziying wants to know the current situation of the young master outside, she has to rely on him to investigate.

Wang Ban leaned halfway, "What do you have to say Miss Xiuyun?" ”

"What are you plotting with the young master in the house? They all spoke with their voices suppressed. Xiuyun asked jokingly, so that Wang Ban would not be suspicious, "Don't let him cause any trouble outside, don't dare to tell the family." ”

Wang Ban smiled, "The girl is very careful, the young master is fine outside, and he didn't cause trouble, it wasn't a conspiracy, it was just an anecdote that he saw with the second young master of the Jiang family a few days ago." ”

"What's the matter?"

Wang Ban has a docile temperament and has always befriended several girls, and he will not annoy Xiuyun by refusing at this time, "The girl should be curious, just wait for the young master to rest and listen to him say it himself, I still have urgent matters here, and I want to go to the account room." ”

How could Xiuyun really ask Feng Juncheng, hearing Wang Ban say this, at most keep an eye on it, most of the young master has something to hide from his family. But if the wife asks about it, she won't leak it either.

A few days is Feng Juncheng's birthday, after his birthday, he is nineteen years old, Xiuyun saw that the door of the young master's room was closed, so he sat down in the ear room to embroider the purse pattern to be given to him, while embroidering and taking a look at it from a distance, humming a small song comfortably.

Feng Juncheng was born in early winter, and he also has a clear and bright heart like ice and snow.

In the blink of an eye, the black rabbit ran away, and the stars shifted, coming to Feng Juncheng's birthday.

The old lady raised a few small dramas in the courtyard, and today the stage was placed in the back garden, and the little actors were asked to throw their water sleeves and shuttle between the pavilions, which had a unique flavor.

The Feng family is originally from Shanxi, and was born in Feng Junchengtai. The ancestors moved to Qiantang, Zhejiang, so the ancestral house of the Feng family is also in Qiantang, if it were not for the later official transfer, so that the Feng family's second room moved to Jiangning, then the Feng family should live in the old house in Qiantang, several generations in the same house, very lively.

Now Qiantang only lives in the Feng family's house, that is, Feng Juncheng's uncle, who is in charge of the Feng family's fertile land and business. However, only the old lady is left among the elders on both sides, and the concubines are not closer than brothers, so the relationship gradually thins up, and they only move around each other during the New Year's Festival.

This year, several elders in the Qiantang family fell ill one after another, and missed the 60th birthday of Mrs. Jiangning.

Last month, news came that Qiantang was doing well, so he took advantage of Feng Juncheng's birthday to reunite with his family in Jiangning.

At noon, people arrived, and there were ten cars parked at the door, and the people who got out of the cars were crowded, and the voices were even more noisy when they talked.

The last time we met was last year, so everyone was very eager. Feng Juncheng walked in front of the welcome, and was surrounded by Qiantang relatives and returned to the mansion, congratulating and praising him, this stuffed him with a gold bottle, and the other gave him a piece of precious jade.

The old lady saw that he was embarrassed by being "pushed around", giggled, and beckoned everyone to go to the backyard to watch the play.

Qiantang is not an official eunuch's family, the rules are no more cumbersome than Feng Juncheng's house, his lobby brother is only one year older than Feng Juncheng, but the child can walk the aisle by himself.

That's not the child in the main room, it's the maid who gave birth to the grandmother of the house, and the grandmother is now pregnant, and the belly is slightly bulging, and it is not good to ride the car again when it is older.

Before the guests arrived, the old lady of the Qiantang family suddenly grabbed Feng Juncheng's hand and asked him when he would add a few great-grandchildren to the Feng family.

Feng Juncheng didn't know how to deal with it, it was his ancestor who said for him, "Juncheng is no better than the two cousins in Qiantang, in the future, his subordinates will be in charge of the business and business, there is nothing to let the child inherit, and we will not urge him." ”

The old lady in Qiantang was surnamed Sun, and Mrs. Sun smiled after hearing this, patted the back of Feng Juncheng's hand and stopped talking, but the two cousins-in-law boasted one after another that he had gone to the middle of the year, and was busy recovering face for him.

Everyone in the clan knows that Feng Juncheng is a weirdo, he is almost twenty years old and not married, and he is not from an obvious background, could it be that he has a stubborn disease? If it is to wait for Liu Ruomei and Lu to become adults, it will not prevent him from going through personnel first.

None of the others knew that it was all because of Feng Juncheng's knot.

Many of his friends were eunuchs and merchants, and many of them were enlightened very early, and there was one who was out looking for flowers and willows without moderation, and there was one who died of illness at the age of sixteen.

As for Xiuyun Ziying, the girls have to marry well when they are old. Now they are looking forward to it, but they really want him to be accepted as a room, and they won't hate him to death in a few years.

He never pronounced these thoughts, because no one would understand him, just as no one understood his innocent thoughts that he did not want to obey his parents' orders, but only wanted to be united with his loved ones forever.

It was noon, and before the feast, only relatives in Qiantang had arrived at the house.

Feng Juncheng is the protagonist of today, of course, he has to be patient with him, and suddenly heard his cousin and Mrs. Dong talking about a local specialty of "Tanggou wine", and I couldn't help but want to try it. Feng Juncheng sat in the front seat bored, and his eyes lit up suddenly.

Mrs. Dong did not go out of the second door, how could she know about this Tanggou wine, and said: "This one, when I ask my subordinates to go out to look for it, it is rare to come here, so naturally I have to entertain a few cousins." ”

Feng Juncheng turned around and took care of the matter with a smile, "Just leave it to me, I know where to sell this Tanggou wine." ”

He thought of taking this opportunity to let Wang Ban take a trip to the wine shop, so that she would know that he still missed her and had not forgotten her.

Wang Ban didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked out of the corner gate.

Qing'e only knew at that time that today was Feng Juncheng's birthday, no wonder the house was beating gongs and drums again, but she said that she didn't have this kind of wine to sell, and she failed the business given by the young master.

Qing'e looked around and said softly to Wang Ban: "Can you bring a message to the young master for me, just say that I am worried about him, Brother Qi will not be at home tomorrow, so let him be free or come in person." ”

She was in a hurry to close the net, so she naturally had to be more diligent.

Wang Ban was a little embarrassed and nodded, "Oh, okay, I'll definitely bring the words." ”

After going out, Wang Ban went around and summed it up, so he didn't have to run back to tell the young master, and he asked someone to go out and buy it first.

He beckoned to the brother who was familiar with the corner door, and touched a silver ingot for him, "I'm sorry for you to go and buy two jars of Tanggou wine." The excess should be rewarded. ”

The brother weighed the silver and asked curiously, "Why don't you go to the house at the entrance of the alley?" ”

They are all brothers who know each other, Wang Ban smiled, "The young master wants to buy it from that family, it's not that he can't sell it." ”

After that, the two covered their mouths and secretly had fun, and it was obvious that they were peeking at the master's liveliness behind their backs.

Wang Ban shook his hand, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, go and go back quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, he turned around and saw a pair of eyes that Liu Ruomei suddenly fanned, looking at himself behind the rockery. She was also followed by the nurse who was with her, her eyes were like torches, and she almost stared at a hole.

Wang Ban was furious all over his body, wanting to cover up the past, but he was suffering from the fact that he only had Feng Juncheng, a young master in his family, so he had to hang his head, "Miss Liu, why don't you go to the front gate when you come, but take the corner door?" ”

Liu Ruomei stepped forward slowly, twisted her hands, and asked uneasily, "What Xi Shi?" Who are you talking about? What does it have to do with Juncheng's brother? ”
