"Young Brother Feng is indeed a good brother."
After Feng Yi's explanation, Changsheng's gloomy mood eased a lot.
Sure enough, those talkative maidservants still needed to be taught a lesson. Don't always talk about trivial things.
As she thought of this, she suddenly remembered a servant girl's idle chatter.
That servant girl had been bought into the manor for half a year and was now thirteen years old.
Some maidservants thought that Changsheng was young, so they would take advantage of her nap and talk about some private topics.
At first, they only talked about young talents. After two years, they would occasionally mention Feng Yi who often visited.
"If I can get young Langjun Feng's favor, I might be able to get a title in the future …"
"Come on, title. You can't even be a Tongfang!"
"Why can't I be? Young Langjun Feng doesn't have a legal mother to teach him, so he doesn't know anything. If I can get first place … "
"Little girl, you can daydream!"
Changsheng was absent-minded and accidentally made a mistake.
"Changsheng, what are you thinking about?"
Changsheng came back to her senses and said with a smile, "I'm thinking about young Brother Feng's Tongfang."
Feng Yi's hand tightened, and the tip of the pen dropped a lot of ink on the paper. His expression became very serious.
"What Tongfang? Where did you learn this from?"
Changsheng didn't know why, nor did she know why Feng Yi was angry.
Feng Jin's backyard was very clean. He didn't even have a Tongfang or a personal maidservant, let alone a Tongfang.
She didn't know what a Tongfang was, but from the tone of the maidservants, she guessed that it was something good.
"Bai Xing and the others said that they wanted to be Young Brother Feng's Tongfang."
Feng Yi put down the pen with a snap. The ink on the tip of the pen splashed, and the paper that was half written on was completely ruined.
"They're just a few lowly maidservants. Are they worthy of Xiao Feng?"
Feng Yi's weak face was filled with anger. Changsheng was frightened and couldn't help but shrink her neck.
He saw that Changsheng was frightened, so he softened his expression, "A Tongfang is an anonymous lowly concubine."
Changsheng understood the term "lowly concubine" because it was mentioned in books.
She couldn't help but frown in confusion, "It's so strange. Why would anyone want to be a lowly concubine?"
Feng Yi was unable to answer this question.
However, he felt that the servants and maids around Changsheng needed to be cleaned up. It was one thing for them to be talkative, but they were actually talkative in front of Changsheng.
Changsheng was still young and was at the age of vigorous learning. If her temperament was affected by their words, would they be able to bear the consequences?
Feng Yi's aura was somewhat heavy. Changsheng did not dare to provoke him at all.
In the next hour, she concentrated on copying and barely managed to finish two pages.
As soon as she finished copying, the servant informed her mother that she had returned from the government office. Feng Yi stopped writing, tidied up her appearance, and went to see Wei Jingxian.
She heaved a sigh of relief when the little devil who was in charge of Changsheng left. She plopped down on the mat and massaged her sore legs from squatting.
"The wind is the rain —" Changsheng muttered, "You were fine just now, why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
Just as Wei Jingxian was asking the housekeeper about the two children, the servant reported that Feng Yi had arrived.
"Let him in."
Wei Jingxian smiled and asked Feng Yi for the purpose of her visit. She and her husband Feng Jin liked this junior very much, not only because he was precocious and well-behaved, but also because he treated Changsheng very well. He liked to play with Changsheng wherever he went, which greatly made up for the couple's negligence when they were busy with work.
Feng Yi hesitated for a moment and suggested to Wei Jingxian in a low voice that she should clean up the maids and maids who served Changsheng.
"What did they do wrong?" Wei Jingxian asked.
Feng Yi explained the reason with slight embarrassment and added, "Changsheng is still young and easily influenced by the outside world. Her temperament has changed. These days, she has been absent-minded. I also suspect that these maids said something in front of her and caused Changsheng to misunderstand … "
He said it very vaguely, but Wei Jingxian heard the underlying meaning.
She originally had a faint smile on her face, but now it was completely gloomy. Her right hand grabbed the armrest of the table and unconsciously tightened its grip.
That night, Wei Jingxian boldly punished a few maids, and the commotion alarmed Feng Jin.
She told Feng Jin about it, and the latter was silent for a long time.
"What are you thinking about, husband?" Wei Jingxian asked.
"I'm thinking about Changsheng." Feng Jin said, "Unknowingly, the baby girl in the swaddling clothes is already so big. The thought of her getting engaged and married after she reaches the marriageable age makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm afraid that she will marry the wrong person, but I'm also afraid that she will not have a good life after she gets married and her husband's family will bully her … "
The corner of Wei Jingxian's mouth twitched, and she could not help but remind Feng Jin.
"How old is Changsheng? She is still far from the marriageable age. "
"It's not early …"
Feng Jin's face was gloomy. He had been avoiding thinking about this problem, but wasn't that deceiving himself and others?
Instead of thinking about it after Changsheng reached the marriageable age, it was better to start picking now. Firstly, there was plenty of time, and secondly, he could be strict.
If it was too late, the good seedlings would have been picked, and who would care about the rest of the ugly ones?
Wei Jingxian was helpless and could only let Feng Jin be immersed in this meaningless dilemma.
After a while, Feng Jin tried to ask, "Jingxian, what do you think of Sun Lan from Sun Wen's family? She has a soft and humble temperament, which is not bad. "
The key was that their ages were similar to Changsheng.
Changsheng had been spoiled by him to the point of being arrogant and willful. She was a good match for Sun Lan, who had a soft temperament.
"Sun Lan, she is good, but isn't she too soft?"
Wei Jingxian thought of Sun Lan's appearance. She was too shy and shy, like a delicate flower that was kept by Sun Wen.
He scratched his head and thought of another candidate. "The eldest son of Cui Yu, the master of Chongzhou's Cui family, is also not bad. His background is a little poor, but he is easy to deal with. I saw him at the Golden Scale Academy a few days ago, and he seems not bad. However, the style of the Cui family's merchants is too strong, and I don't like it. "
Feng Jin racked his brains and named a few candidates. Most of them were famous gentry families within the borders of Dongqing. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that they were full of flaws.
Wei Jingxian was annoyed by his words and said, "No matter how good these juniors are, they are not as good as Fengyi."
Feng Jin's expression froze.
"But Feng Zishi's behavior …"
Fengyi was publicly known to be good, but his father was publicly known to be unrestrained. Every family would have to think twice before marrying their daughter.
Feng Jin could tolerate Feng Zhen's unruly behavior because of work, but since the two families were in-laws, it was hard to say.
"Let me think carefully about this matter."
According to Jiang Pengji's current family business, in the next few years, she would be conferred the title of Jiuxi. It was a sure thing that she would become a king.
As long as the next generation did not make any big mistakes, it would not be a problem to keep the family business.
As the leader of the next generation, how could Fengyi's status and prospects not be bad?
According to his analysis of the lord's thoughts, the lord was determined to eliminate the old gentry families and promote the commoners. In this way, the shortcomings of Fengyi's background would not be considered as shortcomings. In addition to his indulgence and care for Changsheng, he seemed to be a good candidate for a husband.
After thinking for a night in a daze, Feng Jin became more and more conflicted.
Wei Jingxian sighed helplessly.
When it came to the matter of Changsheng, Feng Jin's IQ dropped sharply, hovering on the edge of passing.
Nothing had been set in stone, but he was already worrying about what would happen in the future.
Wei Jingxian got up to wash up and went to the government office to take attendance. She did not know that Feng Jin had done something.
He felt that he could try Feng Langzi's words and let his son be his son-in-law.
Feng Zhen was speechless.
