"What good is good? If we don't go now, our Feng family's backbone will be broken."
?
Master Feng Er walked in a hurry, breathing heavily, and sat down on the drum stool. He snatched the round fan from Madam Feng Er's hand and fanned it vigorously a few times, but felt it was not powerful enough, so he threw it aside.
?
"You don't know yet what a good thing the concierge Xiao Liuzi has done, right?"
?
Old Mr. Feng Er told Mrs. Feng Er again about how he kicked Xie Liuzheng out of the room. He became angrier and angrier and slammed the table hard.
?
"If we keep this kind of thing, it will be a nuisance. I had him beaten up and sent him to feed the pigs on the farm."
?
Madam Feng heaved a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that Xiaoliu was quite smart and didn't say anything he shouldn't have. "So, shall we go to the Xie family now?"
?
"Let's get married." Master Feng wiped the sweat off his forehead and urged Madam Feng again, "Don't ask so many questions. Hurry up and change your clothes and follow me to the Xie family."
?
On the way, Mrs. Feng found out that it was the old lady who proposed to form an in-law relationship with the Xie family in order to quell the rumors outside. She felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a rat.
?
She had someone hint to the doorman to kick the people out in order to suppress Xie Liuzheng, but she didn't expect that it would help Xie Liuzheng.
?
You know, there is not much difference between being relatives and being in-laws. It is almost the same as sharing the joys and sorrows and honors and disgraces.
?
After becoming godparents, the mother and daughter of the Xie family were labeled as members of the Feng family. Everyone who saw them had to give them some respect.
?
Master Feng Er saw that Madam Feng Er had an ugly expression on her face, and for once he was clear-headed, "Do you look down on the Xie family's merchant status?"
?
"Don't forget that Miss Xie is my savior. Anyone can despise the Xie family's status, but we can't."
?
"Well, to be honest, I was a little disgusted at first. It was our servants who caused all this trouble. We can only redeem our reputation by marrying them."
?
Mrs. Feng said that she was not comforted, but felt more upset. Only she knew that it was not the servants who were not up to the task, but she was the one who shot herself in the foot.
?
The servant came to Xie Liuzheng's door and reported, "The second master and second mistress of the Feng family are here. Madam has invited the guests to the main hall to serve tea. Please ask the eldest lady to come over and chat."
?
Qiuyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she cheered softly, "Young Miss is really smart. She just sent a servant out to eat a bowl of noodles, and she made them unable to sit still."
?
Xie Liuzheng raised her finger to signal her not to say anything more, "Don't mention these things again in the future, just pretend they never happened. If the Feng family hears about it, we really won't be able to stay in Yangzhou anymore."
?
Qiuyue knew how powerful she was, so she stuck out her tongue and dared not say anything more.
?
Xie Liuzheng came to the main hall and saluted to Master Feng and his wife.
?
Before she even got down to her knees, Madam Feng put on a fake smile and took her hand, "Stop bowing and come sit next to me."
?
She really didn't want to see Xie Liuzheng's face. Every time she saw it, her heart ached. She turned to look at Xie Xiangyu. "To be honest, I also gave birth to three daughters, but none of them can compare to Miss Xie."
?
"As soon as I saw her well-behaved and docile appearance, I liked her very much."
?
"So I'm going to tell the old lady that I want to become your goddaughter and take Miss Xie as my goddaughter. Are you willing?"
?
Xie Xiangyu was of course willing, and anyone who was not willing would be a fool. However, she also knew that the status of the two families was very different, and the Feng family's behavior was really abnormal.
?
"This... Liu Zheng is not as good as you say. She is just pretending to be good outside and is very naughty at home." Xie Xiangyu winked at Xie Liu Zheng while being polite to Madam Feng.
?
Normally it is Xie Liuzheng who interacts with the Feng family, so the matter of recognition of relatives depends on her own opinion.
?
Xie Liuzheng took over the conversation with a smile, "Second Madam, your praise is so unacceptable that I am so ashamed to death."
?
"The young ladies in the mansion are all gentle and elegant ladies, but Liu Zheng can't even read a few words. How dare she be compared with them?"
?
This means refusing to get married.
?
Master Feng II was anxious and rushed to speak, "Thank you, Miss, for being so modest. If you hadn't begged me regardless of your own safety, I would have fallen into the valley and my life would be in danger. I have no way to repay you for saving my life. It would be good for us to become godparents so that we can visit each other often. When you get married in the future, you will have one more relative to visit."
?
This hinted to Xie Liuzheng that she could enjoy the shade of Feng Ding, and the title of "Mrs. Feng's goddaughter" was enough to buy her a good marriage.
?
Xie Liuzheng still shook his head, "Liuzheng is afraid that Su Shi's actions are hapless and will affect the reputation of the mansion, so she doesn't dare to marry him."
?
Madam Feng was so angry that she felt suffocated. This damn girl was so ungrateful. With the Feng family's status, even the prefect would have tried to curry favor with them and take the initiative to form an in-law relationship with her Xie family, but she still refused. She was really shameless.
?
However, not getting married would be detrimental to the Feng family's reputation, and Old Madam Feng would not be able to get past that. Madam Feng II could only suppress her anger and force a fake smile to persuade Xie Liuzheng, "Silly child, you are much better than those pieces of wood in my family."
?
"A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Girls should still focus on needlework. What's the point of reading a lot? Instead, they become dull after reading a lot. How can they compare to you who are lively and lovely?"
?
Now that things have come to this, if I refuse again, Mrs. Feng will probably get angry on the spot.
?
Xie Liuzheng didn't want to break off relations with the Feng family, so it was enough for him to manipulate Second Madam Feng and force her to say a few soft words to him.
?
Then he turned his head to the side with a shy expression and said softly, "Thank you, Madam Feng, for your kindness."
?
Master Feng heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Since you have agreed to become our godparents, you are our daughter. You can no longer call us Madam or Master. You should call us godfather and godmother instead."
?
Xie Liuzheng obediently called out “foster father and mother”.
?
The servants brought over the kneeling mat, and Xie Liuzheng kowtowed three times to the two of them, then raised the tea bowl above his head, "Foster father, please have some tea, foster mother, please have some tea."
?
The two took the tea bowls, wet their lips with it, and put them aside.
?
Madam Feng Er pulled Xie Liuzheng up and put the jade beads that the old lady gave her on her wrist. "This is something the old lady asked me to give you. It's an old item that the old lady has worn for decades. You, a young girl, probably won't appreciate it, but it's a token of my love. Please keep it."
?
Master Feng Er also handed over a red envelope.
?
Xie Liuzheng thanked everyone one by one and still sat down next to Madam Feng Er.
?
Master Feng was eager to let everyone in Yangzhou know the news of the alliance between the two families immediately, so he proposed to hold a grand banquet and invite relatives and friends of both families to join in the fun.
?
Xie Xiangyu agreed with a smile, "My in-laws gave me such an expensive gift as Liu Zheng, so I have to show some appreciation. Why don't you let me take care of the banquet?"
?
Master Feng also knew that his family's financial resources could not match that of the Xie family, so he agreed after a few polite words.
?
After finishing the business, Mrs. Feng suggested going back. "Get ready early and send out the invitation as soon as possible. I won't stay here for long."
?
Although he said it politely, he really didn't want to see Xie Liuzheng again.
