After the new consort

The little girl seemed to be overwhelmed by flattery, and she dared not speak after following Feng Suzhen, but her expression became excited.

Seeing her eyes glued to the school, Feng Suzhen naturally guessed her thoughts, so she smiled and asked softly: "Little girl, what's your name, do you want to study like your brother?"

The little girl's eyes lit up suddenly when she heard the words, then slowly dimmed when she thought of something, she replied in a low voice: "My name is Xiu'er, my mother said that I am a girl, and reading is useless, why don't you save a bundle of repairs to support the family. . .”

Feng Suzhen secretly sighed in her heart, the enlightenment of the people is not a one-day achievement, not to mention the different situations, and every family has difficult scriptures, which cannot be solved by a moment of harshness and anger, so she stabilized her emotions and raised her voice and asked with a smile : "Then Xiu'er, let me teach you how to write?"

Xiu'er raised her head and looked at Feng Suzhen with wide eyes, then nodded abruptly after a while.

So Feng Suzhen took Xiu'er lightly, picked up a branch, and said while writing on the ground: "Let's write your name first, and I will write one for you to see." Haozi said: "Xiuer, look, Xiuzi is like this, let's not rush to write, you can read this character first, it is divided into upper and lower parts..."

I don't know how long it took before Xiu'er was able to write the word "Xiu" independently. Although it was still crooked, Feng Suzhen felt a burst of relief. Xiu'er is a smart and good child. With no foundation at all, she has learned a lot. It's almost time, but it's a pity that I can only help her for a while, I'm afraid she still won't be able to escape her original fate after all.

Seeing Xiu'er's excited appearance, Feng Suzhen tried her best to suppress the sigh in her heart, smiled and praised a few words, looked up and saw that a school had opened the door, then patted Xiu'er and said: "Your brother is out of school, go quickly!" Let's go home with him."

Seeing Xiu'er bouncing forward, Feng Suzhen turned around to open the courtyard door, but just as she turned around, she saw Meng Yanran standing at the courtyard door, staring at her in a daze, her eyes seemed both surprised and emotional, It was not as clear as usual, she seemed to have been standing there for a while, and she didn't know when she arrived. At this moment, she suddenly met Feng Suzhen's gaze back, hurriedly staggered away in a panic, and lowered her head to open the courtyard door.

Now that they had met, Feng Suzhen also greeted her. Meng Yanran's expression had not yet fully recovered, and she still explained somewhat unnaturally: "I didn't expect Mr. Feng to come today. I came to deliver lunch to them."

Feng Suzhen then said along the way: "The left and right are also idle, so I came over to have a look. Miss Lao Meng is here."

"Ms. Meng, Miss Meng," Liu Changying's dissatisfied voice suddenly interjected, "It's not that she doesn't have a name. I told you that it's Yanran. Why are you still so strange!" After speaking, he turned to Meng Yanran. She blinked and said, "Is it Yanran?"

Seeing Liu Changying's disgusted look, Meng Yanran couldn't help but chuckled, and responded, "Yes, Mr. Feng, you don't have to be polite."

"Hey, I said you two really make a good couple." Liu Changying clapped his hands and said to Meng Yanran, "I didn't mean you for Yanran, no wonder he was so strange, you said you called us Brother Liu Li Big Brother, why do you still call him Young Master?"

Meng Yanran's face was slightly flushed when she heard this, she lowered her head and called softly, "Brother Feng."

"That's right!" Only then was Liu Changying satisfied, and he turned to Feng Suzhen and asked, "Why did you come out just now? You've been wandering around in this yard for so long?"

Feng Suzhen raised her eyebrows mysteriously and said, "Of course not, you teach inside, and I also teach outside."

Liu Changying asked curiously, "Oh? Which kid is so lucky to be able to hire your boss?"

"Why not a kid?" Feng Suzhen glanced at Liu Changying pretending to be disdainful, then pointed to the words written on the ground just now, and said with a smile: "She is a clever little girl, and she has nothing to do with her left and right, so she just pretended to be Master."

The three of them followed her hand to look at the ground, Meng Yanran finally saw the words "Xiu" on the ground, and a soft color appeared in her eyes unconsciously, Liu Changying said, "So it's Little girl, thanks to your patience."

"Why, does Brother Liu also think that girls should not study and have little knowledge?" Meng Yanran asked suddenly.

Liu Changying didn't seem to expect it, he was stunned for a moment before sighing and replied: "I'm ashamed to say, I used to be really prejudiced, but later, since I met someone," he said and glanced at Feng Suzhen, Seeing that her expression remained unchanged, she turned her head and said, "I don't dare to show any slightest contempt anymore."

Meng Yanran was confused when she heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Oh? Who is it?"

"This person—" Liu Changying deliberately paused for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Of course it is you, Miss Meng! Who in Jiangnan knows that the daughters of the Meng family are both talented and beautiful, and even Mr. Meng participates in Jiangnan every year. For the Spring Festival, all nephews and nephews don't care about it, but they must bring their daughter to go, is there such a thing?"

Meng Yanran saw that he was talking about herself suddenly, so she knew that he was teasing on purpose, her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment, she hurriedly glanced at Feng Suzhen, then lowered her head and complained: "Brother Liu, you are making fun of me again."

Just as Liu Changying was about to say more, he saw that another school had opened the door, and Li Zhaoting was walking towards them, so he stood up and greeted them with Feng Suzhen.

Seeing that both of them got up and left suddenly, Meng Yanran raised her head and saw the three of them walking together, Liu Changying went over to talk to Li Zhaoting, Feng Suzhen was not in a hurry to interrupt, just smiling slightly, Her expression was as gentle as she had just treated the little girl, and the sunlight was against her silhouette, as if her whole body was condensed with a faint light.

When Zhang Shaomin's reply letter arrived, several people were chatting in the yard, Liu Changying went out to receive the letter, and when he came back he shouted, "Master Zhang's letter has arrived!"

Feng Suzhen glanced at Meng Yanran who was puzzled, smiled and explained to her: "Brother Zhang is also our good friend in the capital, and he originally said that he would come to the south of the Yangtze River together, but now he is still an official in the capital because of some entanglements. "

"Is there something that hinders him? It's obvious that someone is hindering him." Liu Changying shook the letter in his hand, and then said to Meng Yanran: "Brother Zhang, I don't know what kind of evil he has fallen into. I fell in love with——cough, I fell in love with a delicate and savage young lady, but unfortunately he didn't appreciate it, and he couldn't let it go, and now it's difficult to move forward or backward, so I'm stuck."

Feng Suzhen frowned subconsciously, stood up and interrupted: "Let's quickly read what brother Zhang said in his letter."

Liu Changying was not in a hurry to open the letter, but turned to Feng Suzhen with a smile and said, "It's okay if you want to read the letter, then you first promise what I just said and go to this year's Jiangnan Spring Festival with us." With an indifferent expression on his face, he continued to persuade: "It's only once a year, it would be a pity to miss it, besides, what do you have to worry about, reciting poems and composing Fu is not easy for you, let alone you don't want to meet the romantic talents in Jiangnan? "

Feng Suzhen looked at Liu Changying helplessly and amusedly, and wondered in her heart when did this son of the Xiangfu become so cheerful and lively?

Seeing this, Meng Yanran couldn't help getting up and persuading her: "Let's go together, Brother Feng, Daddy also hopes that you can all participate, and it can also give our school a strong reputation, so that more children are willing to come to study."

Li Zhaoting understands that Feng Suzhen just doesn't want to attract attention and cause trouble. After all, she grew up in a scholarly family. Who wouldn't like to participate in poetry and elegance meetings?So he also said in a warm voice: "It's okay to just pass by to see the excitement."

Seeing that everyone was persuading her, Feng Suzhen couldn't spoil everyone's interest, so she nodded her head in response.Liu Changying couldn't wait to open the envelope, but saw that besides a letter, there was a smaller envelope inside, which was also sealed. Several people looked at each other suspiciously, and then stared at Liu Changying in unison. letter in hand.

Liu Changying hurriedly lowered his head to read the letter, and while reading, he complained: "The most part of this page is about the government and the current situation, and there is nothing to say. This piece of lord is really boring to be an official." Stop After a while, he raised his tone again and said: "Tianxiang is strange recently, she didn't cause any trouble, she didn't even go out of the house, she just stayed in the house obediently all day, saying that she still reads from time to time, what's wrong with her ?”

Li Zhaoting was startled when she heard her mention Tianxiang in an unobtrusive manner. He hurriedly glanced at Meng Yanran and found that she had no reaction. Then he remembered that the royal family only announced their titles to the common people. The real name was rarely known. Meng Yanran presumably did not. Not knowing that Tianxiang is the famous eldest princess Dingguohou, she felt relieved.Turning around, she saw Feng Suzhen's dazed look on her face. It was obvious that Liu Changying's words had dragged her mind thousands of miles away, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"I think he was confused when he became an official, so he really said that he just followed the fate, Tianxiang's temperament, how could he get it according to the fate!" Liu Changying's suddenly raised voice pulled back everyone's thoughts, "He even said Tianxiang already has 'the heart belongs to her', 'the love has been for a long time'" said, looking up at Feng Suzhen and Li Zhaoting and asked: "You two have just returned from the capital, do you know who Tianxiang is attracted to?"
