Chapter 66 Spring Banquet
Burned?
Changfeng's heart stagnated, as if something had collapsed.
"Yes, that was what the Marquis ordered at the time. Fortunately, the Madam stopped him, saying that those manuscripts were the result of your hard work, and even though you don't need them now, they can't be burned. She wanted to keep them to prove that you were once blessed by God and recognized by the world.
The Marquis couldn't persuade his wife, so he gave up. However, he could no longer stay in Tingfeng Pavilion, so he ordered the others to move out and store it in other rooms.
I was worried, so when it was empty, I would go to see if it was still there.
But not long after, the young man's collection of books and the manuscripts he wrote disappeared.
I don’t know if the Marquis has gone into hiding somewhere else or what. I don’t dare to ask or inquire.”
After Ming Tong finished speaking, he lowered his head in shame. He was blaming himself for being so useless. He only had a few books and couldn't protect them for the young master.
"Oh, so that's it!" Changfeng's thin and slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest of the wheelchair.
"It's okay, it's okay. Those things are gone, they're worthless. I can write again when they're empty. As for the books, I can just buy more."
Ming Tong tilted his head and thought for a moment. Well, what the young master said seemed to be right, so he stopped blaming himself.
"I'm tired today. I'll write a list of books some other day, and you can go out and buy all the books on the list for me. Go ahead, I'll take a rest."
Changfeng was not lying. His lost soul had just returned, and perhaps it had not yet integrated into the best condition. He just felt extremely tired physically and mentally.
"Yes."
Mingtong pushed Changfeng into the bedroom, helped him lie down, covered him with a brocade quilt, and then closed the door and left.
He was thinking, the eldest son's soul has returned, and Tingfeng Pavilion can't serve him alone! It will be exhausting.
Well, I'd better go and ask the lady to arrange a few more reliable people over.
Changfeng lay on the couch, feeling extremely tired but unable to fall asleep. He stared at the ceiling, his thoughts drifting to the distant past.
At that time, he was the most dazzling young genius in the capital. At the age of seven, he passed the examination to become a scholar.
Even famous scholars in the capital praised his articles, saying that he was a rare genius in Daliang that was hard to come by in a century.
The young man in fine clothes and riding a horse has both fame and good looks.
What’s even more infuriating is that he is the grandson of Master Yun and the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty. The so-called favored child of heaven is just like this.
Such a popular person naturally became the best marriage candidate for the wealthy families in Beijing.
He often saw some people coming to the mansion, and when he passed by, they would point at them from time to time, with satisfaction in their eyes.
He knew that these people were entrusted by the aristocratic families to act as lobbyists for marriage.
Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents. He believed that his parents would choose a good marriage for him, and he only needed to study hard.
That day, his mother called him to Weilan Courtyard, held his hand and said happily.
"Feng'er, your father has arranged a marriage for you with the second daughter of Minister Liu from the Ministry of Rites. Are you satisfied?"
He had never met Miss Liu Er, so naturally he couldn't say whether he was satisfied or not. He blushed, "Feng Er followed the arrangements made by his parents, and he was not dissatisfied at all."
"Minister Liu is your father's immediate superior. As for the young lady from the Liu family, I'll take good care of her."
In this way, at the age of ten, he got engaged and became a man with a fiancée.
From then on, he studied even harder, determined to pass the imperial examinations, earn a good career, and let his wife live a life of luxury so that her marriage would be worthwhile.
In spring, the Spring Appreciation Banquet at the Princess's Mansion was held as scheduled.
Every spring, Princess Xunyang would choose a sunny day to hold a banquet in her mansion, which was called "Spring Appreciation".
The distinguished guests invited by the eldest princess were mostly noble ladies in the capital. When there were many women, they would naturally talk about the marriage of their children.
Over time, the eldest princess's spring viewing banquet became a platform for noble ladies to meet each other.
The eldest princess was also happy to see good things happen. Gradually, the ladies of high rank tacitly brought their unengaged sons to the banquet, and the Spring Festival Banquet became a large-scale blind date venue for the sons of noble families.
My mother is the eldest princess’ best friend, so naturally she would attend the eldest princess’s parties.
This time, his mother took him and his second brother Tingyu with them.
In order to listen to the rain, my mother fell in love with the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo Jiao. Coincidentally, the Jiao family also had the same idea, so they arranged a meeting for the two children at the spring banquet to meet each other.
He was engaged, so he didn't need to go to such occasions. But Tingyu was strong and brave, so his mother asked him to go with her to help her keep an eye on him and not cause any trouble.
After the formal banquet, the princess took all the noble ladies to the garden for a tour. This was the highlight of the Spring Festival Banquet, the blind date.
He held a small jar of fish food and fed the koi in the pond out of boredom.
"Hey, sister, look, isn't that the second daughter of Minister Liu? How come she went to play by herself in the lotus pond?"
"Second Miss Liu, is she the one who is engaged to the eldest son of the talented Loyal Marquis Mansion in the capital?"
"That's right. She is really lucky. Her appearance is just okay, but she is able to marry such a genius."
"What's good about that? I heard they have never met each other and got married blindly. Who knows, the other party might be a violent maniac and beat his wife."
"..."
The chat between the ladies was filled with jealousy. They were kept in seclusion and could not go out easily, and they had no idea that the violent genius they were talking about was just feeding fish and eavesdropping passively beside them.
Changfeng was too lazy to pay attention to them and looked towards the lotus pond. Sure enough, there was a slender pink figure.
He was worried about his fiancée, so he put down the fish food and went to look for her.
The lotus pond in the eldest princess's house was very large, and he walked through several corridors before he arrived at the place where he had just seen the figure.
That pink figure is still there.
His face felt a little hot, and he stole a glance secretly.
Miss Liu Er, with a slender figure and delicate face, was not stunningly beautiful, but she met his aesthetic standards. He was very satisfied with the marriage arranged by his parents.
Miss Liu stopped by the lotus pond, not knowing what she was admiring. At this moment, the lotus flowers in the pond were not yet in full bloom, with only a few branches breaking through the water.
Changfeng prepared himself mentally for a long time before he mustered up the courage and moved to within three meters of Miss Liu Yunrong.
He bowed to Liu Yunrong and said, "Excuse me, young lady, are you the second young lady of Minister Liu's mansion?"
Liu Yunrong was startled, as if she didn't expect that there would be someone in this remote place, and he was a handsome and elegant young man.
She returned the greeting, "Exactly. Sir, may I ask, who are you..."
When Changfeng was asked, he said in a clear voice: "Oh, I am Xiahou Changfeng from the Marquis of Zhongyi Mansion."
Ah! Liu Yunrong's face turned red in an instant. Oh my gosh, my little fiancé.
