Heshen is a strict wife
Chapter 25 The Fan Mistake
On the way back, Feng Shuangzhi looked helpless.
Xi Tao was a little puzzled: "Miss, this servant saw Miss San run out, did she make you angry?"
Feng Shuangzhi thought, what does this have to do with Yun Jingneng?What she was entangled with was the help that Zheng Shifang told her when she was in the room just now—letting her convey his meaning on her behalf was just a joke, right?
Feng Shuangzhi didn't feel that he had any right to speak, but was just a mouthpiece.
It must be that Zheng Shifang is not good enough to go in and talk to Yinglian directly. To avoid suspicion, it is really appropriate to find someone to pass on the message.
Therefore, Feng Shuangzhi was tricked.
She pressed her forehead and smiled wryly: "Go back first, wait for Mafa to return to the mansion, and then go to pay his respects."
Speaking on behalf of Zheng Shifang about the matter of the Xian'an Academy, I will not announce it for the time being.Speaking of the third lady, Yun Jing, she burst into tears when she returned to her yard, feeling very wronged.
The third aunt who is in charge now, when she heard that her daughter was crying, she felt so distressed that she immediately ran to Yun Jing to talk.
When the news reached Feng Shuangzhi, Xitao wondered again: "Miss San also cried in school, what's wrong?"
Feng Shuangzhi held the small brush in his hand without stopping, and it was still moving on the rice paper, with a bit of ladylike demeanor.Now hearing Xitao's words, she smiled and said: "Before the husband opened his mouth, she knew that she would definitely not be taken in by him. When she cried, she didn't have so much grievance in her heart. Maybe she felt better."
Zheng Shifang was weird. Feng Shuangzhi was a little worried at first, but he didn't expect Yun Jing to let her down and leave immediately.
"By the way, Miss also had a strange expression when she went to ask An to come out from the old man's place." Xitao always had a strong curiosity.
In the past, Feng Shuangzhi would occasionally say a few words, but this time he directly lifted the brush, as if to touch Xitao's forehead, so frightened that Xitao quickly covered his forehead and called out, "Miss, what are you doing? Now, what are you doing—”
Feng Shuangzhi said: "Little girl, if you give you some color, you will start a dyeing workshop, right? Ask everything, if you don't pay attention, sooner or later this mouth will ruin you."
Xitao blinked at her, and muttered softly: "Isn't this curious?"
Without even the strength to roll his eyes, Feng Shuangzhi was speechless, silent for a while, then turned around and shook his head, and continued to write, with an old-fashioned look that thought Xitao was "a rotten wood that cannot be carved".
——Miss is so old-fashioned, she must marry out very early in the future.
Xi Tao felt a little depressed.
After practicing the calligraphy for less than half an hour, I heard Mei Xiangtong from outside, saying that there was an invitation card from outside.
Feng Shuangzhi was taken aback, "Where did you get the invitation?"
Mei Xiang stopped in front of the study, and presented a post with both hands, "It's Miss Fu Xiangfu."
Miss Fu Xiangfu?
Fu Heng's power is now at the height of the sky, he is the same as the prime minister, and he has never interacted with the female family members in this mansion before, so it is strange that he suddenly sent an invitation today.
Feng Shuangzhi suppressed the doubts in his heart, and let Xitao take the invitation card with a calm expression, and when he unfolded it, he could see the words inside.
Fucha's Yushu, the daughter-in-law of Fu Heng's family, is older than Fu Kang'an, and is about the same age as Feng Shuangzhi this year.The invitation said that she would take advantage of her birthday to hold a flower viewing banquet, and by the way, celebrate her own birthday, and invite the prince of the capital named Ai, which can be regarded as a gathering.
Originally, the life of the nobles was like this. From time to time, they would find excuses such as parties to go out to relieve boredom.
Feng Shuangzhi laughed when he saw the invitation, "Miss Yushu and I have always only heard of her name, but didn't know her, why would she suddenly send me an invitation?"
Mei Xiang and Xi Tao glanced at each other, neither knowing what Feng Shuangzhi was thinking.
Xi Tao carefully said: "Fu Xiang's side is not an ordinary family, our family is probably..."
"I don't need you to tell me. No matter how strange this matter is, I can't refuse it. Since this invitation can be delivered to me, Mafa must already know about it." Feng Shuangzhi briefly analyzed it, and then He also said, "This post came at a strange time. It turned out that the banquet was going to be held the day after tomorrow. I only posted it two or three days in advance. It was probably a temporary idea."
Thinking about the recent activities left and right, Feng Shuangzhi could only think of meeting the two brothers Fu Long'an and Fu Kang'an that day, but he didn't know the connection between them.
She put aside her thoughts for the time being, and just said: "The banquet must be going, think about preparing a gift later. Mei Xiang, you go down first."
"Yes, the slaves retire."
After Mei Xiang left, Feng Shuangzhi's face became gloomy, "Xi Tao, go and take out the two unpainted incense fans that were pressed under the box. I drew them this afternoon, and they will burn incense tomorrow. A gift from Miss Shu."
"But... it was left by my wife, it's a rare piece of good sandalwood—" Xitao's eyes widened in surprise.
She thought that Feng Shuangzhi must be very attached to and reluctant to part with the things that Xu left behind during his lifetime, but who would have known that Feng Shuangzhi casually said to give these things away.
For Feng Shuangzhi, old things do not represent old people. She misses Xu's kindness from the bottom of her heart, but she doesn't miss the things she left behind, as long as there are some things to remember.As for others, Feng Shuangzhi has always been very calm.
"Take it out."
No more nonsense.
At this moment, she had a faintly cold taste.
Xitao didn't dare to say anything, went to the box to get the incense fan, and handed it to Feng Shuangzhi, Feng Shuangzhi opened the box, and saw the folding fan inside the box.
This kind of fan was not very popular before the early Ming Dynasty. Folding fans only became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Now, you can see it in the boudoirs of monks, Taoists, and merchants, but the styles and materials are very different.
Feng Shuangzhi's folding fan is especially different. It is a fan made of sixteen sandalwood ribs about one inch wide. It is extremely elegant.It's just that the entire folding fan has not been decorated, and it has to wait for Feng Shuangzhi to perfect it.
If you don't give it away, it's good to keep this fan for yourself.
Thinking about it this way, she decided to draw both fans in a while, and just give one away.
Feng Shuangzhi sighed a little secretly, thinking that it was a pity that he had brought up this thing, but he put down his pen and told Xitao to prepare ink and wash.
Xitao knew that Feng Shuangzhi couldn't be persuaded, so she went there.
She went to get ready on the front foot, and Mei Xiang came in to report on the back foot.
"Second Miss, Third Miss is here to see you."
Feng Shuangzhi had a headache, and really wanted to throw out the pen on the desk and let Feng Yunjing go immediately, but it was obvious—this could only be a fantasy.
She adjusted the expression on her face and raised her voice: "Please come in, Third Sister."
With that said, Feng Shuangzhi went out from his study, and saw Feng Yunjing who had just entered in the outer room.
Didn't you say that Miss San was crying in her yard before?Now he came to her all at once—Feng Shuangzhi thought to himself, there was no abnormality on his face, La Yunjing sat down, and then said: "Why did Third Sister leave suddenly this morning?"
As soon as Feng Yunjing mentioned this matter, she already showed shame on her face, "My sister was ignorant this morning and offended Mr. I am afraid that Mr. would not accept such a reckless student as me. My sister should not have thought of that, originally It's my sister's husband, how can my sister be qualified to study with my sister? I hope my sister won't mind."
Feng Shuangzhi couldn't stand it, although she really felt that San Yiniang and Yun Jing were wishful thinking at the beginning, and they already had things that they shouldn't have. Don't be afraid that Feng Shuangzhi will think too much about her, now pretending to be such a pitiful white lotus in front of her, who is she showing it to?
Feng Shuangzhi smiled and said: "My sister is serious. You must know that the old man once said that Mr. Zheng is the sixth brother's staff member, and he was born as a Jinshi. He is a lonely scholar with a weird temper. , that's just a common thing, why should my sister worry about it?"
In this sentence, he first raised the old man Yinglian, then the sixth brother, and also mentioned Zheng Shifang's Jinshi background. She wanted to see what Feng Yunjing had to say.
Sure enough, after Feng Shuangzhi's words, Feng Yunjing's face turned blue and white for a while, and his eyes wandered around her room strangely, before saying: "What my sister said is, since this is the case, my sister feels better, but... ...I asked my aunt, and my aunt said that I would hire another husband for me, and tomorrow my husband will take a school exam, and Yun Jing came—actually, she was asking my sister to borrow something."
"Oh? The third aunt is really good at handling things, and she has already found it so soon." Feng Shuangzhi stabbed her indifferently, and then said, "I don't know what my sister lacks?"
There are very few things in her room. Mrs. Xu has always been strict with Feng Shuangzhi, and the good things are not put on the table, and all the good things are kept at the bottom of the box.In essence, Feng Shuangzhi is a "stealer of wealth", with a lot of dowry, and the account book is still with the mother in name, but it is actually in Feng Shuangzhi's own hands. The third aunt is just an aunt now, and she can't intervene. dowry.
Although the third aunt was also a bannerman, she had little dowry, and because of the suppression of the second aunt these years, she hadn't saved much savings. If Feng Shuangzhi's dowry were in her hands, there was no guarantee that something would happen.
Therefore, as far as Feng Shuangzhi is concerned, it is best not to fill in the house with an ignorant person.
——Actually, E Zhang didn't have a good life for a few days. In the last life, Feng Shuangzhi was not young when he passed through. At that time, both E Zhang and Xu's family passed away.If I remember correctly, E Zhang will not make it through this winter...
Just don't know why.
It was a strange thing that Yun Jing came to Feng Shuangzhi to borrow things.
Feng Shuangzhi had already thought a lot during this moment, but when Yun Jing spoke, she was still surprised.
""Thousand Characters"?"
Yun Jing looked at Feng Shuangzhi, "Mr. Yun Jing is going to be admitted to the school, but a woman's lack of talent is virtue. My aunt has never taught me a lot before, and she doesn't even have books, so I'm here to ask my sister to borrow it for a while. I heard that the second sister It’s amazing, I’ve already been able to silently write the Thousand-Character Classic... Presumably, I don’t need this book of the Thousand-Character Classic, I wonder if you can lend it to me..."
It's just a thousand-character text, and it's a matter of borrowing it.
Feng Shuangzhi nodded with a smile, and just wanted to call Xitao to find a book, but realized that Xitao was illiterate, so he frowned, then turned to Yun Jing and said, "The book is in the study, please wait for a while. "
"Where do you dare to work for sister? How about Yun Jing and sister go together." At this time, Feng Yunjing has completely recovered her previous calm appearance, quite like her mother, but stood up first, as if Feng Shuangzhi could not refuse.
Feng Shuangzhi thought it was funny, how could he dare to work?This sentence is really ridiculous.
She didn't say much, she curled her lips and turned around, "Then sister, come with me."
It's impossible for her to have any secrets in her study, and Feng Yunjing doesn't know what her plan is.
Thinking in her heart, Feng Shuangzhi didn't notice that as soon as Third Miss Yun Jing entered her study, her eyes fell on the invitation card she had placed on the desk.
The bronzing invitation card must have been a bit glaring, and it immediately caught Yun Jing's attention.
Feng Shuangzhi turned around to pick up the book. "Thousand Characters" was placed on the left side of the second shelf by her yesterday, and it was still neat. After accepting the invitation, he slowly opened it.
It turned out to be the case.
She said that she had said that Third Auntie had gone to Yunjing's yard to comfort Feng Yunjing, but now Feng Yunjing is not in her own yard, but came to see her instead, and it was because of her invitation.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't care about the banquet in Fu Xiangfu's Chunhe Garden, which didn't mean that others didn't care either.She already has a clear understanding of her future life, but others are still in a kind of unpredictable—the banquet in the Spring Palace, the people who can be invited by Ms. Occasions have always been very suitable for developing interpersonal relationships.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't care who he was friends with, he didn't care much whether he knew her or not, but it would be different if it was Yun Jing.
One is because of the draft, the girls are already going to the palace to be selected, if they are selected, it is luck, knowing one more person in the palace is an extra way; the other is because of marriage, most of the small selections Maid, there is no good place to go after entering the palace, so it is better to lose the election and find a good man to marry—whom to marry?
Feng Shuangzhi had already experienced this kind of thing, so apart from being entangled with Qian Feng and Shen, he was not worried about anything else.Feng Yunjing was different. If she didn't get selected in the draft, she had to talk about marriage.What kind of family can a concubine young lady find?No one knows.
What they think is nothing more than who can take a fancy to themselves and go to Fu Xiangfu's spring and garden flower viewing party to go on a blind date.
After figuring out the key points, Feng Shuangzhi felt very relaxed.
San Yiniang didn't know where she got the news that she had received the invitation, so she went to tell Yun Jing, maybe she wanted to take Yun Jing with her?
Seeing that Feng Yunjing looked at the invitation seriously, Feng Shuangzhi had an unfathomable smile on his face, and said, "Is it okay for my sister to watch the birthday flower viewing party in Chunhe Garden?"
"Of course it's good..." Feng Yunjing was still looking at the invitation card with her head buried in it, but she didn't realize it when she ran her finger across the gilt pattern on the invitation card, and subconsciously answered just like that.
When she reacted and raised her head, she only saw Feng Shuangzhi's half-smile, which made her feel a little guilty for no reason, but in a blink of an eye, she regained her confidence. "Sister, don't blame me, Yun Jing just flipped through it casually."
Flip through?
Feng Shuangzhi was really amused by Yun Jing, why is this girl so thick-skinned?
"Sister is really easy going." She walked over with the "Thousand Characters" in her hand, pulled the invitation out of her hand, and put "Thousand Characters" in the middle of her palm, "This It's "Thousand Characters", sister take it. I love books very much, I hope my sister will treat this book well, and let the servant girl bring it back later."
She loves books very much—actually, it shouldn't be said that way, Feng Shuangzhi is a person with double standards.
Books don't need to be cherished by herself. She can use them however she likes, and draw as she likes, but if it is someone else, she will be angry if she draws a stroke or tears a corner.
If Feng Yunjing spoils this book, a petty person like her probably won't let her go easily.
Feng Yunjing didn't understand what she meant, she glanced at the book in her hand with disgust, then stared at the invitation card that Feng Shuangzhi had taken back, changed her mind, and said naturally: "We will go to the Spring Festival the day after tomorrow. Peace Garden?"
"..."
Feng Shuangzhi was really frightened by Feng Yunjing. She didn't understand what she meant. The invitation was for Feng Shuangzhi, not Feng Yunjing. When she said "we", didn't she break her head?
Seeing that Feng Shuangzhi didn't seem to understand what she meant, Feng Yunjing became a little proud instead, "Sister Cai also read this invitation just now, and thought it was a bit presumptuous, but after reading it, she felt that she read it right. Didn't it say that the young lady of Feng's mansion go?"
Good, what a Feng Yunjing!
Feng Shuangzhi almost couldn't hold back his laughter, the invitation did mention "Miss Feng's Mansion" and "Miss Feng", but what is Miss Yushu's identity?Fucha's Yushu, the legitimate daughter of Fu Heng's family, this "Miss Feng" is not the second choice except Feng Shuangzhi.
If Feng Yunjing didn't know the meaning of these words, Feng Shuangzhi would never believe it. The only explanation was - this girl was misinterpreting the invitation.
Feng Shuangzhi really felt a little difficult to deal with Feng Yunjing's move, but it would be too embarrassing for Feng Yunjing to tell her clearly.Now Feng Shuangzhi didn't dare to offend Third Auntie, even if Feng Yunjing made such unreasonable troubles, she could only bear with it.
Feng Yunjing wanted to go, so she let her go.
Sometimes, only when people know how vast the outside world is, can they understand how small they are.
On the surface, Feng Shuangzhi is a boudoir girl who doesn't leave her home, but in essence, her mind and vision are comparable to those of some political ministers, not to mention the knowledge and background accumulated in two lifetimes.At that moment, she actually said to Yun Jing: "Unexpectedly, Sanmei would have such thoughts. Ms. Yushu organized the flower viewing and birthday party in the Chunhe Garden of Fu Xiangfu. When the time comes, all the ladies and daughters of the capital will gather together. It's a good place to go. It's just that Miss Yushu has a high status, we don't want to go empty-handed, if the third sister wants to go, it's okay to ride with me the day after tomorrow, but I need to prepare a small gift, the third sister will remember."
She agreed so generously that Feng Yunjing was secretly delighted and puzzled.
Feng Shuangzhi had a flat expression on his face, as if he hadn't said anything, didn't take this matter seriously, Feng Yunjing didn't know what to say, so he just responded, couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and left up.
Seeing her hurriedly unable to hide her cheerful back, Feng Shuangzhi suddenly felt that she was very pitiful.
Xitao yelled behind Feng Shuangzhi's back, saying that she agreed to Miss San anyway.
Feng Shuangzhi turned his head and said, "When it comes to Miss Yushu's flower appreciation banquet, they are all decent young masters and young ladies. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with how a concubine will be treated."
Death is all done by oneself.
Feng Shuangzhi put away the sympathy in his heart, turned around and continued to serve the sandalwood folding fan, with a stroke of ink and gold powder, there was already a picture of Chunlan.
"Miss, when did you learn these skills?" Xitao couldn't help but marvel at Feng Shuangzhi bending over the desk, moving her fingers lightly, the pattern was gradually completed under her fine brushwork. Bundle.
Feng Shuangzhi answered her distractedly, "When you fall asleep listening to it."
Xitao was stunned, and looked at Feng Shuangzhi: "Miss, you are laughing at your servant!"
Feng Shuangzhi waved his hand: "Go aside, you fell asleep when Er Niang said it, who is to blame? If you want to learn how to draw a fan, I will teach you later."
"..." Xitao backed away in frustration, she didn't remember that the wife taught the young lady this at all, maybe she really fell asleep, right?
Seeing that Xitao was gone, Feng Shuangzhi shook his wrist and stretched indistinctly.
Skills such as fan drawing must not have been taught by Xu Shi. When did she come back from rebirth?It's nothing more than seeing that girl Xitao is so foolish, she just put a few perfunctory words in it.
In his mind, he was appreciating the banquet at Fu Xiangfu's mansion, and after a while he thought of Feng Yunjing, and thought of his own mess.
I don't know who I will meet at this banquet...
A thin brush was traced over the bone, and a bit of green was spotted, and then I put it down.
For the time being, it can be seen in this way, the follow-up craftsmanship is not something that Feng Shuangzhi can complete, and he has to find someone to send it out.
So she called Xitao again: "Xitao, send this fan out, and then go back and find the suet jade fan pendant from the cabinet and hang it up."
Xitao took it and left, but when she came back, she brought Feng Shuangzhi a different message.
"Please elaborate."
Feng Shuangzhi frowned, not understanding what Xitao meant.
Just then Xitao hurried in to speak, speaking extremely fast, she only heard a few key words, and didn't know the specific situation yet.
Xitao let out a sigh of relief, and said excitedly: "The fact that Fu Xiangfu held a flower appreciation banquet in Chunhe Garden to celebrate Ms. Yushu's birthday has spread throughout the capital! I heard that the nobles in the capital will also go , the two young masters from Fu Xiangfu we met that day are also going, I heard there are some talented people, miss, this is—”
"All right--"
Feng Shuangzhi had already heard the point again, wishing he could just find a piece of cloth and stuff Xitao's mouth up.
Ms. Yushu held a birthday banquet, so her brothers would naturally also want to come, so that they would have the opportunity to invite all the young ladies and gentlemen of the famous people in the capital to hold a social gathering together.
Originally, this kind of celebrity gathering has always been for this purpose. Marriage discussions are not allowed before the draft, but they didn't say that dating is not allowed.
Feng Shuangzhi said in his heart that no matter how talented these people are, they have already started to take advantage of the loopholes in the system.
She said: "I'll say it again, Xitao, put your mouth under strict control. It doesn't matter what I say in the yard. Let the third aunt catch you and see if she doesn't beat you to death. When you leave the mansion, just Be more careful in every sentence, and don't follow those rumors in the mansion to meddle in it."
Xi Tao shrank her head and said, "Understood."
He said he understood, but who knows if he understood?
Feng Shuangzhi knew that Xitao had her own sense of propriety, but just seeing her getting more and more frivolous recently, he made a few words to knock her out.
There was nothing serious about Chuiyuxuan's side, but Yinglian's side had already started to move.
Zheng Shifang once asked Feng Shuangzhi for a favor, and Feng Shuangzhi did help. Feng Shuangzhi told Yinglian about this, but Feng Shuangzhi was very smart, and she betrayed Zheng Shifang. up.
In the school, because Zheng Shifang was concerned about the excellent student He Shen's article and wanted to help He Shen enter the school, so he put this idea on Ying Lian.
Ying Lian once made a bet with Zhu Gui, saying that there were people in the Eight Banners. Whether Zhu Gui won the bet or not is still unclear, but their bet has already become famous—all officials are waiting to see a joke.
Zhu Gui is so old and stubborn that he can't hold back his face. After reading the article written by He Shen, his old face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He heard that he almost sat on the ground in anger.
In the study, Ying Lian was writing the booklet, and said to Feng Zhong who was beside him, "Zheng Shifang, this fox, is really good at beating, I wish I could plot against Zhu Gui, he is afraid that he will give his life to Sixth Brother, but It’s just a bachelor’s student, asking him to teach the sixth elder brother is flattering him, offending the sixth elder brother, and he will accept some of it.”
Feng Zhong has been with Ying Lian for many years, and he has seen many political turmoil, so he smiled and said: "My lord must have already made up his mind about what he can say in front of his servants."
"Zheng Shifang used Shuangzhi's mouth to tell me about Sixth Brother's plan, but I was not going to confront Zhu Gui directly. Zhu Gui is a stubborn donkey, whoever provokes him will be unlucky. It's a pity that this is good. Not being able to go to school just depends on his luck."
Ying Lian sighed, and when he finished speaking, he had already finished writing the notes.
He dried the ink on the paper, and said to Feng Zhong: "I wrote the booklet and said this, just as a joke about my bet with Zhu Gui. The Holy Majesty has his own sanction. The situation of the Eight Banners is clearer than anyone else. Am I not clear yet? For this young man, it's a gamble, just don't know if he can win it."
If Yinglian's booklet is submitted, if Qianlong notices He Shen and asks for this article to read, then Zheng Shifang's request will be fulfilled by himself--a good article will never worry about being read, whether it is for the sake of the Eight Banners' face, or simply Speaking of Heshen's article, Qianlong had to say "yes".The children of Chang Bao's family, because this time it is no problem to successfully enter the Xian'an Academy.
The Eight Banners are abolished, and too many people are not doing their jobs properly, which is really worrying. Lord Yongzheng has already been alerted when he was around, but he has not been able to stop this kind of violence.When Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he was also worried about this matter.As long as the Holy Majesty notices this book, everything will be done.
"I don't think my lord wrote this note because of a bet with Xueshi Zhu, right?" Feng Zhong was like a roundworm in Yinglian's stomach, he knew exactly what Yinglian was thinking.
"You're right. Of course I wrote this book not only because of Zhu Gui. When I went to Yongding River to control the river, I knew this son's grandfather Jiamo. Jiamo once mentioned him and said he was a good boy." Yinglian said with a slight smile, and stopped smiling after a while, "I'm only a granddaughter of Shuangzhi, and I must find a good family for her. For those who came to Xian'an Academy this year, it's good to pick and choose earlier. "
Feng Zhong also smiled when he heard this.
In name, Feng Shuangzhi still wanted to draft, but after all, he was only a member of the Han Army Banner, and there was no good way out for entering the palace, not to mention that Yinglian was reluctant to send his granddaughter to the palace, so the draft was just a formality. Just put some money in and let people put down the sign.
Now Ying Lian has started to plan for his granddaughter, Chang Bao's family seems to be the only one in Xian'an Academy, but a few days ago it was said that Shuang Zhi accidentally ran into the son of Fu Heng's family when he went out, which made Ying Lian suddenly relapse. I have other plans.
In particular, that kid from Fu Heng's family, named Fu Kang'an, even casually said something bad about her granddaughter's reputation——
"Shuangzhi is going to the Chunhe Garden, isn't he? Feng Zhong, go down and get ready, don't make my family's name shabby."
"Yes."
So this time, when the carriage came to the side of the small gate, Feng Shuangzhi frowned when he saw it: "When did this carriage change?"
Feng Zhong stood aside and said: "Last time it hit, this time change to something stronger."
Feng Shuangzhi didn't think much about it, and turned to Feng Yunjing who was following, "Eldest sister is still thinking about the past, this time it's only you and me going, younger sister should get in the car too."
The people below had already supported Feng Shuangzhi into the carriage, and Feng Yunjing was below.
Inside the carriage, Feng Shuangzhi sat in the right seat, as for the concubine Feng Yunjing, she could only sit on her right hand side.
There was nothing unusual on her face, Feng Yunjing looked at Feng Shuangzhi's light blue robe with a smile, "The style of sister's dress seems to be from last year."
Feng Shuangzhi glanced at the pile of delicate patterns of auspicious clouds and willows on her dress, feeling dizzy, and said casually: "It's just a banquet, just to celebrate Miss Yushu's birthday."
The clothes are too good-looking, and the guests take the place. It's no wonder Miss Yushu is happy.
It happened that Feng Yunjing was ignorant, but she was ignorant, Feng Shuangzhi didn't bother to talk to her, and if he wanted to show off, he would go out to show her off - Feng Shuangzhi really wasn't afraid that she would lose face to the Feng family, so it would be fine to restrain her when the time came.
The concubines, whatever they do, can only be regarded as the fault of the concubines, and have nothing to do with the young ladies who were concubines.
Fu Heng is now so powerful that even the mansion was bestowed by Emperor Qianlong. It is now called Chunhe Garden, and it will be renamed "Qichun Garden" in the future. It is a part of Yuanmingyuan, but it seems that it is not as beautiful as later generations said. After all, it is just a minister's mansion now, and it has the appearance of Qichun Garden.
The carriage arrived at Chunhe Garden in a short while. This is the place where banquets are held. At this moment, carriages were constantly parked in front of the gate, led in by the maids and servants in the mansion, and then the carriages were led aside.
Young masters and ladies go through one door, but it's different after entering the door.
Feng Shuangzhi stepped forward, came to the right of the door, a servant girl bowed and asked Feng Shuangzhi to show the invitation card, and then someone led Feng Shuangzhi in.
It was the first time for Feng Yunjing to come to this kind of occasion. She had been yearning for the world of ladies and famous ladies for a long time, and now that she herself had come, she could hardly suppress the excitement in her heart. Already familiar with this kind of occasion and even bored, I felt uncomfortable in my heart.This feeling is the jealousy arising from the gap.
They didn't speak, and there were ladies and maids who came in before and after.
No one knew Feng Shuangzhi, let alone Feng Yunjing.
"Isn't this Miss Wan from Guerjia? You're here too."
"Miss Yushu's invitation card is rare. I was looking forward to today half a month ago!"
"Look at what you said! How dare Miss Yushu not invite you?"
"Ah, your clothes are so bright..."
"This is newly cut. Hey, I heard that Master Fu's two sons will also come..."
"It's not just the two sons, I heard that the princess is coming too, of course...do you know about He Shen?"
"Oh, is he coming too?"
……
Feng Shuangzhi, who was walking behind those two people, only felt his heart twitch, saying that the fate of evil was indeed endless.
"Well, if it wasn't for his family's downfall, I would have liked him very much..."
"You little girl, what are you thinking, there is no draft yet, so be careful not to be heard!"
"Sister Wan, you love me, so don't talk about it... Mr. He is romantic and suave, and he also writes a good article, which is a million times better than other people."
"You say that his family has fallen, so you know that appearance is not important."
……
The lady from the Guarga family is quite sensible.
At the beginning of this year, Heshen's father, Chang Bao, passed away. Now he is left with orphans and widowed mothers. It may be difficult for him to make a living. Originally, Chang Bao had no savings, and now it is even more difficult.
Feng Shuangzhi and Feng Yunjing walked behind, and also listened to the introduction of the maid beside him: "The banquet will be held in the Baosha for a while, and there will also be a banquet in the garden. Later, I will invite people to sing, and the girls will enjoy the flowers in the garden. Here. Our lady is waiting for all the ladies in Jingxiang Pavilion."
While talking, he followed the wall and went to the back. There were people in front and behind, but they were far away. After passing through the hanging flower gate, he saw the plaque of Jingxiang Pavilion, and there were people talking inside.
It turned out that Jingxiang Pavilion was just a hallway, Feng Shuangzhi gave Yun Jing a few words, the two sisters went in, and saw Miss Yushu.
In his previous life, Feng Shuangzhi only had acquaintance with this noble lady twice, but he didn't know her at all.
After all, this person who married the prince and became a Fujin in the future is not at the level that Feng Shuangzhi's ordinary married woman can get in touch with. She never thought that such a noble person would come to her door by herself today.
Judging from the conversation between Mrs. Guarjia and others just now, everyone else had received the invitation half a month ago, but Feng Shuangzhi alone might have sent it out temporarily.
I went in and saw the girl, about the same age as Feng Shuangzhi, today she was wearing a bright red cheongsam, the brocade was embroidered with the pattern of Tuanfu, and there was a circle of ferret fur on the collar. The girl had bright eyes and a cheerful demeanor. When she saw Feng Shuangzhi, Yu Shu walked up to her and took her hand: "I feel kind to my sister when I see her. She is Mrs. Yinglian's Sister Shuangzhi, right?"
Feng Shuangzhi bowed his head slightly, blessing his body as a courtesy, and Na Yushu also held her hand and gave a slight blessing.
"Shuangzhi greets Ms. Yushu, Ms. Yushu is a birthday star today."
"Shuang Zhi's younger sister is Tong'an. Presumably my younger sister still has some doubts about receiving the invitation?" Na Yushu is an acquaintance, so she said it herself, "A few days ago, my brother and my younger brother collided with my younger sister, causing my younger sister to be injured. , I feel very guilty, so... I hope my sister doesn't mind."
It turned out to be this reason.
Feng Shuangzhi said in his heart that they were worrying too much, "There is no need to worry about minor injuries. Sister Yushu is kind-hearted, and she cares about such small things, which makes Shuangzhi moved."
Not mentioning the matter of Fuling'an and Fukang'an at all, this made Yushu feel relieved.
After all, it's not good to spread the word about hurting people with a horse. This young lady of the Feng family is very knowledgeable.
Yu Shu, who was relieved, had time to look at Feng Yunjing who was standing aside, and hesitantly asked, "Who is this?"
The person was brought by Feng Shuangzhi, and now Feng Shuangzhi can only introduce: "My third sister Yun Jing."
At this time, Feng Yunjing also went on the road, and she was blessed when she stepped forward: "Yun Jing greets Ms. Yushu, and wish Ms. Yushu a blessing like the East China Sea and a birthday like Nanshan. This is Yun Jing's congratulatory gift."
As she said that, she presented her congratulatory gift. It was a box. She opened it and turned it out for others to see. It was a Hetian jade bracelet. Judging by the quality, she might have taken all the things she had put at the bottom of the box. Out.
It's just that Yu Shu didn't have the surprise she imagined, but she knew that there was only one concubine in the Commander's Mansion of the Guards, Feng Shuangzhi didn't send anything, and this concubine came to hang around in front of her, not knowing the rules!
At this time, Feng Shuangzhi didn't want to embarrass Yun Jing too much, so he stepped forward and took out his gift from his sleeve, it was a fan bag, and the embroidery was also very good.
Yu Shu took Feng Shuangzhi's gift first, but asked the personal maid to take Feng Yunjing's gift, and said with a smile: "Miss San's gift is very expensive, auspicious, you can take it well."
Feng Yunjing naturally felt the gap between them, and put her fingers into her sleeves, probably already clenched tightly.
Here, Yushu just opened the bag, and seeing the incense fan inside, her eyes lit up. She has seen a lot of sandalwood folding fans, but it is rare to see them painted so well with fine brushwork. One is good, one is good, "This fan is good, Shuang
Xi Tao was a little puzzled: "Miss, this servant saw Miss San run out, did she make you angry?"
Feng Shuangzhi thought, what does this have to do with Yun Jingneng?What she was entangled with was the help that Zheng Shifang told her when she was in the room just now—letting her convey his meaning on her behalf was just a joke, right?
Feng Shuangzhi didn't feel that he had any right to speak, but was just a mouthpiece.
It must be that Zheng Shifang is not good enough to go in and talk to Yinglian directly. To avoid suspicion, it is really appropriate to find someone to pass on the message.
Therefore, Feng Shuangzhi was tricked.
She pressed her forehead and smiled wryly: "Go back first, wait for Mafa to return to the mansion, and then go to pay his respects."
Speaking on behalf of Zheng Shifang about the matter of the Xian'an Academy, I will not announce it for the time being.Speaking of the third lady, Yun Jing, she burst into tears when she returned to her yard, feeling very wronged.
The third aunt who is in charge now, when she heard that her daughter was crying, she felt so distressed that she immediately ran to Yun Jing to talk.
When the news reached Feng Shuangzhi, Xitao wondered again: "Miss San also cried in school, what's wrong?"
Feng Shuangzhi held the small brush in his hand without stopping, and it was still moving on the rice paper, with a bit of ladylike demeanor.Now hearing Xitao's words, she smiled and said: "Before the husband opened his mouth, she knew that she would definitely not be taken in by him. When she cried, she didn't have so much grievance in her heart. Maybe she felt better."
Zheng Shifang was weird. Feng Shuangzhi was a little worried at first, but he didn't expect Yun Jing to let her down and leave immediately.
"By the way, Miss also had a strange expression when she went to ask An to come out from the old man's place." Xitao always had a strong curiosity.
In the past, Feng Shuangzhi would occasionally say a few words, but this time he directly lifted the brush, as if to touch Xitao's forehead, so frightened that Xitao quickly covered his forehead and called out, "Miss, what are you doing? Now, what are you doing—”
Feng Shuangzhi said: "Little girl, if you give you some color, you will start a dyeing workshop, right? Ask everything, if you don't pay attention, sooner or later this mouth will ruin you."
Xitao blinked at her, and muttered softly: "Isn't this curious?"
Without even the strength to roll his eyes, Feng Shuangzhi was speechless, silent for a while, then turned around and shook his head, and continued to write, with an old-fashioned look that thought Xitao was "a rotten wood that cannot be carved".
——Miss is so old-fashioned, she must marry out very early in the future.
Xi Tao felt a little depressed.
After practicing the calligraphy for less than half an hour, I heard Mei Xiangtong from outside, saying that there was an invitation card from outside.
Feng Shuangzhi was taken aback, "Where did you get the invitation?"
Mei Xiang stopped in front of the study, and presented a post with both hands, "It's Miss Fu Xiangfu."
Miss Fu Xiangfu?
Fu Heng's power is now at the height of the sky, he is the same as the prime minister, and he has never interacted with the female family members in this mansion before, so it is strange that he suddenly sent an invitation today.
Feng Shuangzhi suppressed the doubts in his heart, and let Xitao take the invitation card with a calm expression, and when he unfolded it, he could see the words inside.
Fucha's Yushu, the daughter-in-law of Fu Heng's family, is older than Fu Kang'an, and is about the same age as Feng Shuangzhi this year.The invitation said that she would take advantage of her birthday to hold a flower viewing banquet, and by the way, celebrate her own birthday, and invite the prince of the capital named Ai, which can be regarded as a gathering.
Originally, the life of the nobles was like this. From time to time, they would find excuses such as parties to go out to relieve boredom.
Feng Shuangzhi laughed when he saw the invitation, "Miss Yushu and I have always only heard of her name, but didn't know her, why would she suddenly send me an invitation?"
Mei Xiang and Xi Tao glanced at each other, neither knowing what Feng Shuangzhi was thinking.
Xi Tao carefully said: "Fu Xiang's side is not an ordinary family, our family is probably..."
"I don't need you to tell me. No matter how strange this matter is, I can't refuse it. Since this invitation can be delivered to me, Mafa must already know about it." Feng Shuangzhi briefly analyzed it, and then He also said, "This post came at a strange time. It turned out that the banquet was going to be held the day after tomorrow. I only posted it two or three days in advance. It was probably a temporary idea."
Thinking about the recent activities left and right, Feng Shuangzhi could only think of meeting the two brothers Fu Long'an and Fu Kang'an that day, but he didn't know the connection between them.
She put aside her thoughts for the time being, and just said: "The banquet must be going, think about preparing a gift later. Mei Xiang, you go down first."
"Yes, the slaves retire."
After Mei Xiang left, Feng Shuangzhi's face became gloomy, "Xi Tao, go and take out the two unpainted incense fans that were pressed under the box. I drew them this afternoon, and they will burn incense tomorrow. A gift from Miss Shu."
"But... it was left by my wife, it's a rare piece of good sandalwood—" Xitao's eyes widened in surprise.
She thought that Feng Shuangzhi must be very attached to and reluctant to part with the things that Xu left behind during his lifetime, but who would have known that Feng Shuangzhi casually said to give these things away.
For Feng Shuangzhi, old things do not represent old people. She misses Xu's kindness from the bottom of her heart, but she doesn't miss the things she left behind, as long as there are some things to remember.As for others, Feng Shuangzhi has always been very calm.
"Take it out."
No more nonsense.
At this moment, she had a faintly cold taste.
Xitao didn't dare to say anything, went to the box to get the incense fan, and handed it to Feng Shuangzhi, Feng Shuangzhi opened the box, and saw the folding fan inside the box.
This kind of fan was not very popular before the early Ming Dynasty. Folding fans only became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Now, you can see it in the boudoirs of monks, Taoists, and merchants, but the styles and materials are very different.
Feng Shuangzhi's folding fan is especially different. It is a fan made of sixteen sandalwood ribs about one inch wide. It is extremely elegant.It's just that the entire folding fan has not been decorated, and it has to wait for Feng Shuangzhi to perfect it.
If you don't give it away, it's good to keep this fan for yourself.
Thinking about it this way, she decided to draw both fans in a while, and just give one away.
Feng Shuangzhi sighed a little secretly, thinking that it was a pity that he had brought up this thing, but he put down his pen and told Xitao to prepare ink and wash.
Xitao knew that Feng Shuangzhi couldn't be persuaded, so she went there.
She went to get ready on the front foot, and Mei Xiang came in to report on the back foot.
"Second Miss, Third Miss is here to see you."
Feng Shuangzhi had a headache, and really wanted to throw out the pen on the desk and let Feng Yunjing go immediately, but it was obvious—this could only be a fantasy.
She adjusted the expression on her face and raised her voice: "Please come in, Third Sister."
With that said, Feng Shuangzhi went out from his study, and saw Feng Yunjing who had just entered in the outer room.
Didn't you say that Miss San was crying in her yard before?Now he came to her all at once—Feng Shuangzhi thought to himself, there was no abnormality on his face, La Yunjing sat down, and then said: "Why did Third Sister leave suddenly this morning?"
As soon as Feng Yunjing mentioned this matter, she already showed shame on her face, "My sister was ignorant this morning and offended Mr. I am afraid that Mr. would not accept such a reckless student as me. My sister should not have thought of that, originally It's my sister's husband, how can my sister be qualified to study with my sister? I hope my sister won't mind."
Feng Shuangzhi couldn't stand it, although she really felt that San Yiniang and Yun Jing were wishful thinking at the beginning, and they already had things that they shouldn't have. Don't be afraid that Feng Shuangzhi will think too much about her, now pretending to be such a pitiful white lotus in front of her, who is she showing it to?
Feng Shuangzhi smiled and said: "My sister is serious. You must know that the old man once said that Mr. Zheng is the sixth brother's staff member, and he was born as a Jinshi. He is a lonely scholar with a weird temper. , that's just a common thing, why should my sister worry about it?"
In this sentence, he first raised the old man Yinglian, then the sixth brother, and also mentioned Zheng Shifang's Jinshi background. She wanted to see what Feng Yunjing had to say.
Sure enough, after Feng Shuangzhi's words, Feng Yunjing's face turned blue and white for a while, and his eyes wandered around her room strangely, before saying: "What my sister said is, since this is the case, my sister feels better, but... ...I asked my aunt, and my aunt said that I would hire another husband for me, and tomorrow my husband will take a school exam, and Yun Jing came—actually, she was asking my sister to borrow something."
"Oh? The third aunt is really good at handling things, and she has already found it so soon." Feng Shuangzhi stabbed her indifferently, and then said, "I don't know what my sister lacks?"
There are very few things in her room. Mrs. Xu has always been strict with Feng Shuangzhi, and the good things are not put on the table, and all the good things are kept at the bottom of the box.In essence, Feng Shuangzhi is a "stealer of wealth", with a lot of dowry, and the account book is still with the mother in name, but it is actually in Feng Shuangzhi's own hands. The third aunt is just an aunt now, and she can't intervene. dowry.
Although the third aunt was also a bannerman, she had little dowry, and because of the suppression of the second aunt these years, she hadn't saved much savings. If Feng Shuangzhi's dowry were in her hands, there was no guarantee that something would happen.
Therefore, as far as Feng Shuangzhi is concerned, it is best not to fill in the house with an ignorant person.
——Actually, E Zhang didn't have a good life for a few days. In the last life, Feng Shuangzhi was not young when he passed through. At that time, both E Zhang and Xu's family passed away.If I remember correctly, E Zhang will not make it through this winter...
Just don't know why.
It was a strange thing that Yun Jing came to Feng Shuangzhi to borrow things.
Feng Shuangzhi had already thought a lot during this moment, but when Yun Jing spoke, she was still surprised.
""Thousand Characters"?"
Yun Jing looked at Feng Shuangzhi, "Mr. Yun Jing is going to be admitted to the school, but a woman's lack of talent is virtue. My aunt has never taught me a lot before, and she doesn't even have books, so I'm here to ask my sister to borrow it for a while. I heard that the second sister It’s amazing, I’ve already been able to silently write the Thousand-Character Classic... Presumably, I don’t need this book of the Thousand-Character Classic, I wonder if you can lend it to me..."
It's just a thousand-character text, and it's a matter of borrowing it.
Feng Shuangzhi nodded with a smile, and just wanted to call Xitao to find a book, but realized that Xitao was illiterate, so he frowned, then turned to Yun Jing and said, "The book is in the study, please wait for a while. "
"Where do you dare to work for sister? How about Yun Jing and sister go together." At this time, Feng Yunjing has completely recovered her previous calm appearance, quite like her mother, but stood up first, as if Feng Shuangzhi could not refuse.
Feng Shuangzhi thought it was funny, how could he dare to work?This sentence is really ridiculous.
She didn't say much, she curled her lips and turned around, "Then sister, come with me."
It's impossible for her to have any secrets in her study, and Feng Yunjing doesn't know what her plan is.
Thinking in her heart, Feng Shuangzhi didn't notice that as soon as Third Miss Yun Jing entered her study, her eyes fell on the invitation card she had placed on the desk.
The bronzing invitation card must have been a bit glaring, and it immediately caught Yun Jing's attention.
Feng Shuangzhi turned around to pick up the book. "Thousand Characters" was placed on the left side of the second shelf by her yesterday, and it was still neat. After accepting the invitation, he slowly opened it.
It turned out to be the case.
She said that she had said that Third Auntie had gone to Yunjing's yard to comfort Feng Yunjing, but now Feng Yunjing is not in her own yard, but came to see her instead, and it was because of her invitation.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't care about the banquet in Fu Xiangfu's Chunhe Garden, which didn't mean that others didn't care either.She already has a clear understanding of her future life, but others are still in a kind of unpredictable—the banquet in the Spring Palace, the people who can be invited by Ms. Occasions have always been very suitable for developing interpersonal relationships.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't care who he was friends with, he didn't care much whether he knew her or not, but it would be different if it was Yun Jing.
One is because of the draft, the girls are already going to the palace to be selected, if they are selected, it is luck, knowing one more person in the palace is an extra way; the other is because of marriage, most of the small selections Maid, there is no good place to go after entering the palace, so it is better to lose the election and find a good man to marry—whom to marry?
Feng Shuangzhi had already experienced this kind of thing, so apart from being entangled with Qian Feng and Shen, he was not worried about anything else.Feng Yunjing was different. If she didn't get selected in the draft, she had to talk about marriage.What kind of family can a concubine young lady find?No one knows.
What they think is nothing more than who can take a fancy to themselves and go to Fu Xiangfu's spring and garden flower viewing party to go on a blind date.
After figuring out the key points, Feng Shuangzhi felt very relaxed.
San Yiniang didn't know where she got the news that she had received the invitation, so she went to tell Yun Jing, maybe she wanted to take Yun Jing with her?
Seeing that Feng Yunjing looked at the invitation seriously, Feng Shuangzhi had an unfathomable smile on his face, and said, "Is it okay for my sister to watch the birthday flower viewing party in Chunhe Garden?"
"Of course it's good..." Feng Yunjing was still looking at the invitation card with her head buried in it, but she didn't realize it when she ran her finger across the gilt pattern on the invitation card, and subconsciously answered just like that.
When she reacted and raised her head, she only saw Feng Shuangzhi's half-smile, which made her feel a little guilty for no reason, but in a blink of an eye, she regained her confidence. "Sister, don't blame me, Yun Jing just flipped through it casually."
Flip through?
Feng Shuangzhi was really amused by Yun Jing, why is this girl so thick-skinned?
"Sister is really easy going." She walked over with the "Thousand Characters" in her hand, pulled the invitation out of her hand, and put "Thousand Characters" in the middle of her palm, "This It's "Thousand Characters", sister take it. I love books very much, I hope my sister will treat this book well, and let the servant girl bring it back later."
She loves books very much—actually, it shouldn't be said that way, Feng Shuangzhi is a person with double standards.
Books don't need to be cherished by herself. She can use them however she likes, and draw as she likes, but if it is someone else, she will be angry if she draws a stroke or tears a corner.
If Feng Yunjing spoils this book, a petty person like her probably won't let her go easily.
Feng Yunjing didn't understand what she meant, she glanced at the book in her hand with disgust, then stared at the invitation card that Feng Shuangzhi had taken back, changed her mind, and said naturally: "We will go to the Spring Festival the day after tomorrow. Peace Garden?"
"..."
Feng Shuangzhi was really frightened by Feng Yunjing. She didn't understand what she meant. The invitation was for Feng Shuangzhi, not Feng Yunjing. When she said "we", didn't she break her head?
Seeing that Feng Shuangzhi didn't seem to understand what she meant, Feng Yunjing became a little proud instead, "Sister Cai also read this invitation just now, and thought it was a bit presumptuous, but after reading it, she felt that she read it right. Didn't it say that the young lady of Feng's mansion go?"
Good, what a Feng Yunjing!
Feng Shuangzhi almost couldn't hold back his laughter, the invitation did mention "Miss Feng's Mansion" and "Miss Feng", but what is Miss Yushu's identity?Fucha's Yushu, the legitimate daughter of Fu Heng's family, this "Miss Feng" is not the second choice except Feng Shuangzhi.
If Feng Yunjing didn't know the meaning of these words, Feng Shuangzhi would never believe it. The only explanation was - this girl was misinterpreting the invitation.
Feng Shuangzhi really felt a little difficult to deal with Feng Yunjing's move, but it would be too embarrassing for Feng Yunjing to tell her clearly.Now Feng Shuangzhi didn't dare to offend Third Auntie, even if Feng Yunjing made such unreasonable troubles, she could only bear with it.
Feng Yunjing wanted to go, so she let her go.
Sometimes, only when people know how vast the outside world is, can they understand how small they are.
On the surface, Feng Shuangzhi is a boudoir girl who doesn't leave her home, but in essence, her mind and vision are comparable to those of some political ministers, not to mention the knowledge and background accumulated in two lifetimes.At that moment, she actually said to Yun Jing: "Unexpectedly, Sanmei would have such thoughts. Ms. Yushu organized the flower viewing and birthday party in the Chunhe Garden of Fu Xiangfu. When the time comes, all the ladies and daughters of the capital will gather together. It's a good place to go. It's just that Miss Yushu has a high status, we don't want to go empty-handed, if the third sister wants to go, it's okay to ride with me the day after tomorrow, but I need to prepare a small gift, the third sister will remember."
She agreed so generously that Feng Yunjing was secretly delighted and puzzled.
Feng Shuangzhi had a flat expression on his face, as if he hadn't said anything, didn't take this matter seriously, Feng Yunjing didn't know what to say, so he just responded, couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and left up.
Seeing her hurriedly unable to hide her cheerful back, Feng Shuangzhi suddenly felt that she was very pitiful.
Xitao yelled behind Feng Shuangzhi's back, saying that she agreed to Miss San anyway.
Feng Shuangzhi turned his head and said, "When it comes to Miss Yushu's flower appreciation banquet, they are all decent young masters and young ladies. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with how a concubine will be treated."
Death is all done by oneself.
Feng Shuangzhi put away the sympathy in his heart, turned around and continued to serve the sandalwood folding fan, with a stroke of ink and gold powder, there was already a picture of Chunlan.
"Miss, when did you learn these skills?" Xitao couldn't help but marvel at Feng Shuangzhi bending over the desk, moving her fingers lightly, the pattern was gradually completed under her fine brushwork. Bundle.
Feng Shuangzhi answered her distractedly, "When you fall asleep listening to it."
Xitao was stunned, and looked at Feng Shuangzhi: "Miss, you are laughing at your servant!"
Feng Shuangzhi waved his hand: "Go aside, you fell asleep when Er Niang said it, who is to blame? If you want to learn how to draw a fan, I will teach you later."
"..." Xitao backed away in frustration, she didn't remember that the wife taught the young lady this at all, maybe she really fell asleep, right?
Seeing that Xitao was gone, Feng Shuangzhi shook his wrist and stretched indistinctly.
Skills such as fan drawing must not have been taught by Xu Shi. When did she come back from rebirth?It's nothing more than seeing that girl Xitao is so foolish, she just put a few perfunctory words in it.
In his mind, he was appreciating the banquet at Fu Xiangfu's mansion, and after a while he thought of Feng Yunjing, and thought of his own mess.
I don't know who I will meet at this banquet...
A thin brush was traced over the bone, and a bit of green was spotted, and then I put it down.
For the time being, it can be seen in this way, the follow-up craftsmanship is not something that Feng Shuangzhi can complete, and he has to find someone to send it out.
So she called Xitao again: "Xitao, send this fan out, and then go back and find the suet jade fan pendant from the cabinet and hang it up."
Xitao took it and left, but when she came back, she brought Feng Shuangzhi a different message.
"Please elaborate."
Feng Shuangzhi frowned, not understanding what Xitao meant.
Just then Xitao hurried in to speak, speaking extremely fast, she only heard a few key words, and didn't know the specific situation yet.
Xitao let out a sigh of relief, and said excitedly: "The fact that Fu Xiangfu held a flower appreciation banquet in Chunhe Garden to celebrate Ms. Yushu's birthday has spread throughout the capital! I heard that the nobles in the capital will also go , the two young masters from Fu Xiangfu we met that day are also going, I heard there are some talented people, miss, this is—”
"All right--"
Feng Shuangzhi had already heard the point again, wishing he could just find a piece of cloth and stuff Xitao's mouth up.
Ms. Yushu held a birthday banquet, so her brothers would naturally also want to come, so that they would have the opportunity to invite all the young ladies and gentlemen of the famous people in the capital to hold a social gathering together.
Originally, this kind of celebrity gathering has always been for this purpose. Marriage discussions are not allowed before the draft, but they didn't say that dating is not allowed.
Feng Shuangzhi said in his heart that no matter how talented these people are, they have already started to take advantage of the loopholes in the system.
She said: "I'll say it again, Xitao, put your mouth under strict control. It doesn't matter what I say in the yard. Let the third aunt catch you and see if she doesn't beat you to death. When you leave the mansion, just Be more careful in every sentence, and don't follow those rumors in the mansion to meddle in it."
Xi Tao shrank her head and said, "Understood."
He said he understood, but who knows if he understood?
Feng Shuangzhi knew that Xitao had her own sense of propriety, but just seeing her getting more and more frivolous recently, he made a few words to knock her out.
There was nothing serious about Chuiyuxuan's side, but Yinglian's side had already started to move.
Zheng Shifang once asked Feng Shuangzhi for a favor, and Feng Shuangzhi did help. Feng Shuangzhi told Yinglian about this, but Feng Shuangzhi was very smart, and she betrayed Zheng Shifang. up.
In the school, because Zheng Shifang was concerned about the excellent student He Shen's article and wanted to help He Shen enter the school, so he put this idea on Ying Lian.
Ying Lian once made a bet with Zhu Gui, saying that there were people in the Eight Banners. Whether Zhu Gui won the bet or not is still unclear, but their bet has already become famous—all officials are waiting to see a joke.
Zhu Gui is so old and stubborn that he can't hold back his face. After reading the article written by He Shen, his old face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He heard that he almost sat on the ground in anger.
In the study, Ying Lian was writing the booklet, and said to Feng Zhong who was beside him, "Zheng Shifang, this fox, is really good at beating, I wish I could plot against Zhu Gui, he is afraid that he will give his life to Sixth Brother, but It’s just a bachelor’s student, asking him to teach the sixth elder brother is flattering him, offending the sixth elder brother, and he will accept some of it.”
Feng Zhong has been with Ying Lian for many years, and he has seen many political turmoil, so he smiled and said: "My lord must have already made up his mind about what he can say in front of his servants."
"Zheng Shifang used Shuangzhi's mouth to tell me about Sixth Brother's plan, but I was not going to confront Zhu Gui directly. Zhu Gui is a stubborn donkey, whoever provokes him will be unlucky. It's a pity that this is good. Not being able to go to school just depends on his luck."
Ying Lian sighed, and when he finished speaking, he had already finished writing the notes.
He dried the ink on the paper, and said to Feng Zhong: "I wrote the booklet and said this, just as a joke about my bet with Zhu Gui. The Holy Majesty has his own sanction. The situation of the Eight Banners is clearer than anyone else. Am I not clear yet? For this young man, it's a gamble, just don't know if he can win it."
If Yinglian's booklet is submitted, if Qianlong notices He Shen and asks for this article to read, then Zheng Shifang's request will be fulfilled by himself--a good article will never worry about being read, whether it is for the sake of the Eight Banners' face, or simply Speaking of Heshen's article, Qianlong had to say "yes".The children of Chang Bao's family, because this time it is no problem to successfully enter the Xian'an Academy.
The Eight Banners are abolished, and too many people are not doing their jobs properly, which is really worrying. Lord Yongzheng has already been alerted when he was around, but he has not been able to stop this kind of violence.When Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he was also worried about this matter.As long as the Holy Majesty notices this book, everything will be done.
"I don't think my lord wrote this note because of a bet with Xueshi Zhu, right?" Feng Zhong was like a roundworm in Yinglian's stomach, he knew exactly what Yinglian was thinking.
"You're right. Of course I wrote this book not only because of Zhu Gui. When I went to Yongding River to control the river, I knew this son's grandfather Jiamo. Jiamo once mentioned him and said he was a good boy." Yinglian said with a slight smile, and stopped smiling after a while, "I'm only a granddaughter of Shuangzhi, and I must find a good family for her. For those who came to Xian'an Academy this year, it's good to pick and choose earlier. "
Feng Zhong also smiled when he heard this.
In name, Feng Shuangzhi still wanted to draft, but after all, he was only a member of the Han Army Banner, and there was no good way out for entering the palace, not to mention that Yinglian was reluctant to send his granddaughter to the palace, so the draft was just a formality. Just put some money in and let people put down the sign.
Now Ying Lian has started to plan for his granddaughter, Chang Bao's family seems to be the only one in Xian'an Academy, but a few days ago it was said that Shuang Zhi accidentally ran into the son of Fu Heng's family when he went out, which made Ying Lian suddenly relapse. I have other plans.
In particular, that kid from Fu Heng's family, named Fu Kang'an, even casually said something bad about her granddaughter's reputation——
"Shuangzhi is going to the Chunhe Garden, isn't he? Feng Zhong, go down and get ready, don't make my family's name shabby."
"Yes."
So this time, when the carriage came to the side of the small gate, Feng Shuangzhi frowned when he saw it: "When did this carriage change?"
Feng Zhong stood aside and said: "Last time it hit, this time change to something stronger."
Feng Shuangzhi didn't think much about it, and turned to Feng Yunjing who was following, "Eldest sister is still thinking about the past, this time it's only you and me going, younger sister should get in the car too."
The people below had already supported Feng Shuangzhi into the carriage, and Feng Yunjing was below.
Inside the carriage, Feng Shuangzhi sat in the right seat, as for the concubine Feng Yunjing, she could only sit on her right hand side.
There was nothing unusual on her face, Feng Yunjing looked at Feng Shuangzhi's light blue robe with a smile, "The style of sister's dress seems to be from last year."
Feng Shuangzhi glanced at the pile of delicate patterns of auspicious clouds and willows on her dress, feeling dizzy, and said casually: "It's just a banquet, just to celebrate Miss Yushu's birthday."
The clothes are too good-looking, and the guests take the place. It's no wonder Miss Yushu is happy.
It happened that Feng Yunjing was ignorant, but she was ignorant, Feng Shuangzhi didn't bother to talk to her, and if he wanted to show off, he would go out to show her off - Feng Shuangzhi really wasn't afraid that she would lose face to the Feng family, so it would be fine to restrain her when the time came.
The concubines, whatever they do, can only be regarded as the fault of the concubines, and have nothing to do with the young ladies who were concubines.
Fu Heng is now so powerful that even the mansion was bestowed by Emperor Qianlong. It is now called Chunhe Garden, and it will be renamed "Qichun Garden" in the future. It is a part of Yuanmingyuan, but it seems that it is not as beautiful as later generations said. After all, it is just a minister's mansion now, and it has the appearance of Qichun Garden.
The carriage arrived at Chunhe Garden in a short while. This is the place where banquets are held. At this moment, carriages were constantly parked in front of the gate, led in by the maids and servants in the mansion, and then the carriages were led aside.
Young masters and ladies go through one door, but it's different after entering the door.
Feng Shuangzhi stepped forward, came to the right of the door, a servant girl bowed and asked Feng Shuangzhi to show the invitation card, and then someone led Feng Shuangzhi in.
It was the first time for Feng Yunjing to come to this kind of occasion. She had been yearning for the world of ladies and famous ladies for a long time, and now that she herself had come, she could hardly suppress the excitement in her heart. Already familiar with this kind of occasion and even bored, I felt uncomfortable in my heart.This feeling is the jealousy arising from the gap.
They didn't speak, and there were ladies and maids who came in before and after.
No one knew Feng Shuangzhi, let alone Feng Yunjing.
"Isn't this Miss Wan from Guerjia? You're here too."
"Miss Yushu's invitation card is rare. I was looking forward to today half a month ago!"
"Look at what you said! How dare Miss Yushu not invite you?"
"Ah, your clothes are so bright..."
"This is newly cut. Hey, I heard that Master Fu's two sons will also come..."
"It's not just the two sons, I heard that the princess is coming too, of course...do you know about He Shen?"
"Oh, is he coming too?"
……
Feng Shuangzhi, who was walking behind those two people, only felt his heart twitch, saying that the fate of evil was indeed endless.
"Well, if it wasn't for his family's downfall, I would have liked him very much..."
"You little girl, what are you thinking, there is no draft yet, so be careful not to be heard!"
"Sister Wan, you love me, so don't talk about it... Mr. He is romantic and suave, and he also writes a good article, which is a million times better than other people."
"You say that his family has fallen, so you know that appearance is not important."
……
The lady from the Guarga family is quite sensible.
At the beginning of this year, Heshen's father, Chang Bao, passed away. Now he is left with orphans and widowed mothers. It may be difficult for him to make a living. Originally, Chang Bao had no savings, and now it is even more difficult.
Feng Shuangzhi and Feng Yunjing walked behind, and also listened to the introduction of the maid beside him: "The banquet will be held in the Baosha for a while, and there will also be a banquet in the garden. Later, I will invite people to sing, and the girls will enjoy the flowers in the garden. Here. Our lady is waiting for all the ladies in Jingxiang Pavilion."
While talking, he followed the wall and went to the back. There were people in front and behind, but they were far away. After passing through the hanging flower gate, he saw the plaque of Jingxiang Pavilion, and there were people talking inside.
It turned out that Jingxiang Pavilion was just a hallway, Feng Shuangzhi gave Yun Jing a few words, the two sisters went in, and saw Miss Yushu.
In his previous life, Feng Shuangzhi only had acquaintance with this noble lady twice, but he didn't know her at all.
After all, this person who married the prince and became a Fujin in the future is not at the level that Feng Shuangzhi's ordinary married woman can get in touch with. She never thought that such a noble person would come to her door by herself today.
Judging from the conversation between Mrs. Guarjia and others just now, everyone else had received the invitation half a month ago, but Feng Shuangzhi alone might have sent it out temporarily.
I went in and saw the girl, about the same age as Feng Shuangzhi, today she was wearing a bright red cheongsam, the brocade was embroidered with the pattern of Tuanfu, and there was a circle of ferret fur on the collar. The girl had bright eyes and a cheerful demeanor. When she saw Feng Shuangzhi, Yu Shu walked up to her and took her hand: "I feel kind to my sister when I see her. She is Mrs. Yinglian's Sister Shuangzhi, right?"
Feng Shuangzhi bowed his head slightly, blessing his body as a courtesy, and Na Yushu also held her hand and gave a slight blessing.
"Shuangzhi greets Ms. Yushu, Ms. Yushu is a birthday star today."
"Shuang Zhi's younger sister is Tong'an. Presumably my younger sister still has some doubts about receiving the invitation?" Na Yushu is an acquaintance, so she said it herself, "A few days ago, my brother and my younger brother collided with my younger sister, causing my younger sister to be injured. , I feel very guilty, so... I hope my sister doesn't mind."
It turned out to be this reason.
Feng Shuangzhi said in his heart that they were worrying too much, "There is no need to worry about minor injuries. Sister Yushu is kind-hearted, and she cares about such small things, which makes Shuangzhi moved."
Not mentioning the matter of Fuling'an and Fukang'an at all, this made Yushu feel relieved.
After all, it's not good to spread the word about hurting people with a horse. This young lady of the Feng family is very knowledgeable.
Yu Shu, who was relieved, had time to look at Feng Yunjing who was standing aside, and hesitantly asked, "Who is this?"
The person was brought by Feng Shuangzhi, and now Feng Shuangzhi can only introduce: "My third sister Yun Jing."
At this time, Feng Yunjing also went on the road, and she was blessed when she stepped forward: "Yun Jing greets Ms. Yushu, and wish Ms. Yushu a blessing like the East China Sea and a birthday like Nanshan. This is Yun Jing's congratulatory gift."
As she said that, she presented her congratulatory gift. It was a box. She opened it and turned it out for others to see. It was a Hetian jade bracelet. Judging by the quality, she might have taken all the things she had put at the bottom of the box. Out.
It's just that Yu Shu didn't have the surprise she imagined, but she knew that there was only one concubine in the Commander's Mansion of the Guards, Feng Shuangzhi didn't send anything, and this concubine came to hang around in front of her, not knowing the rules!
At this time, Feng Shuangzhi didn't want to embarrass Yun Jing too much, so he stepped forward and took out his gift from his sleeve, it was a fan bag, and the embroidery was also very good.
Yu Shu took Feng Shuangzhi's gift first, but asked the personal maid to take Feng Yunjing's gift, and said with a smile: "Miss San's gift is very expensive, auspicious, you can take it well."
Feng Yunjing naturally felt the gap between them, and put her fingers into her sleeves, probably already clenched tightly.
Here, Yushu just opened the bag, and seeing the incense fan inside, her eyes lit up. She has seen a lot of sandalwood folding fans, but it is rare to see them painted so well with fine brushwork. One is good, one is good, "This fan is good, Shuang
