"Man Xi said that because she was not able to use the most beautiful glazed bowl to scoop congee, Jin Zhen became unhappy and punished her by kneeling until now. It was when this servant went to deliver the red packet that Jin Zhen felt apologetic and allowed Man Xi to get up. I saw that Man Xi had been kneeling for too long, so when she stood up, she fell back down. She could not even straighten her legs. "
A bright light flashed through Feng Yu Heng's eyes. That Jin Zhen had now obtained Feng Jin Yuan's favor. She felt more and more that her position in the Feng manor was stable. She actually began to scheme against her side.
Thinking about it, this was also the case. She was opposing Feng Jin Yuan, and Jin Zhen was Feng Jin Yuan's concubine. Naturally, she would need to rely on Feng Jin Yuan to survive. If Feng Jin Yuan fell, she would indeed not benefit.
"Forget it." She waved her hand, "Everyone has their own choices. She is not wrong. The struggles within the inner courtyards of large manors are unavoidable. If she has the ability, then let her fight. Feng Jin Yuan is still in his prime. In the future, he will definitely not only have a few concubines. Even the position of head wife will be decided sooner or later. As long as she does not reach out to us, there is no need to worry about it. "
Huang Quan nodded and said: "Just now, when I passed by madam's courtyard on my way back, concubine mother An and third young miss came over. They brought a number of things. Third young miss and our young master had a lot of fun."
Only then did Feng Yu Heng smile, "They are a little closer in age. This is the time when they can play together. I will not go over. You stand guard outside. I will go in and take a look at Wang Chuan. "
After she entered the room, Wang Chuan woke up. The pain on his body seemed to be even worse than before. That was how people were. When their nerves were tense, they did not feel much pain. Once they relaxed, a feeling of exhaustion and pain would surge forth. It was something that could not be stopped.
Feng Yu Heng was still rather careful about her external injuries. Although Wang Chuan had told her that he was a martial artist and did not care about how many scars he had, he was still a girl. But in the end, she was a girl. Feng Yu Heng wanted her to be as perfect as possible.
Fortunately, there was some good medicine in the pharmacy. The medicine given to the soldiers in the Marines was naturally the best. She would smuggle it out from time to time and had saved up a lot over the years. She put the medicine in the medicine room. Wang Chuan asked the servants to wash his face and then followed Feng Yu Heng to treat his injuries.
The two did not come out until the evening. Huang Quan, who had been waiting outside, was a little impatient. Seeing that they had finally come out, he said: "The Feng manor has sent people to urge you a few times, inviting young miss and young master over to eat dinner and stay up for the new year."
Feng Yu Heng nodded and advised Wang Chuan: "You stay behind and accompany mother. In the end, I will only be able to return after midnight. Don't let her be too lonely."
Wang Chuan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Miss. I'll be here."
"Alright. Change your clothes and we'll go right away. "
She said right away, but in the end, Tong Sheng pavilion was quite far. When she pulled Zirui's hand and arrived at Peony courtyard, where the banquet would be held, everyone had already taken their seats and were waiting for them.
Feng Yu Heng brought Zirui over to pay respects to the matriarch and Feng Jin Yuan. The matriarch said in a strange tone: "County princess really is an honored guest. You only came after repeated invitations. Take a look, the dishes on the table have all become cold. "
Feng Yu Heng glanced at the table. It was clearly still steaming, and the servants were still bringing it up. The dishes had not all been brought up, so how did it become waiting for her?
"Grandmother's love is something that Heng cannot accept."
"Hmph." The matriarch's heart was filled with anger, "Today is new year's eve, yet you don't even bother to do the morning and evening rituals. How did our Feng family manage to raise a daughter like you?"
It was the new year, so the matriarch began to rain curses on her, especially the last sentence. Before Feng Yu Heng could make a move, Feng Jin Yuan spoke up first, "Mother, Heng Heng has not spent the new year at home for many years. It's inevitable that she will be a little lacking in manners. Please excuse her."
The matriarch did not understand why Feng Jin Yuan would speak up for Feng Yu Heng. How could she know that Feng Jin Yuan had learned from his mistakes. He had said that this girl was lacking in manners, and the result was that she had brought up the matter of being chased out of the manor for many years to shut him up. The reason that he did this was because he wanted everyone to have a good new year.
But Feng Yu Heng was not cold in the slightest. Faced with the matriarch's scolding, she said to Feng Jin Yuan: "Heng Heng has remembered grandmother's teachings. I just hope that father will be more accommodating. Next time, do not rush to go to daughter's courtyard during the morning and evening rituals, causing daughter to come pay respects to grandmother."
Feng Jin Yuan was so angry that he nearly could not catch his breath. Jin Zhen, who was at his side, quickly patted his back.
How could the matriarch know that Feng Jin Yuan had gone over in the morning. She could not help but look at him in confusion. Feng Jin Yuan awkwardly said: "I just went over to give her some advice and missed the time. Heng Heng, there's no need for you and Zirui to continue standing. Quickly sit."
Only then were the siblings able to sit down.
Because they were the son of the first wife and daughter of the first wife, Feng Yu Heng and her brother naturally sat with Feng Jin Yuan. As for Chen Yu, who was seated to the left, her eyes turned red with jealousy. That was originally her seat. At the time when the Shen Clan was still around, the mother and daughter pair were so glorious. Unfortunately, the present could not be compared to the past. If she wanted to make a comeback, she had to get rid of the scourge that was Feng Yu Heng.
The family feast on new year's eve was tasteless. Between the women, there was nothing more than jealousy. Feng Jin Yuan did not like to eat those things, but he would occasionally chat with Zirui. He felt more and more that this son was very much to his liking.
After the meal, everyone gathered together. Tonight, they would be staying up for the new year. They had to stay up past midnight and eat dumplings before they could go to sleep.
In the ancient era, staying up for the new year was as boring as it could be. Feng Yu Heng even began to miss the Spring Festival Gala that she did not like to watch in her previous life. As she thought and thought … she fell asleep.
The matriarch saw her tilt her head and close her eyes in her chair. She could not help but feel angry. Originally, when Feng Yu Heng returned, she did not like her. It was only later on that this girl began to stir up trouble outside that she began to change her mind. In addition to this, Feng Yu Heng knew how to practice medicine and had good medicine. She also hoped that this granddaughter would be able to take good care of her body. Only then did she see her in a new light. But now that the Ninth Prince had lost his power, she was no longer liked by the people outside. The fengshui seemed to have returned to how it was in the past, and the matriarch began to feel that Feng Yu Heng was not good.
Chen Yu sat below and did not speak the entire time. She only observed everyone. She had been cooped up in the temple for a long time, so her mind had calmed down a bit. But with this calmness, she began to analyze the pros and cons.
Now that Feng Yu Heng was asleep, the matriarch's expression changed. She did not need to think to know that the matriarch was definitely finding fault with Feng Yu Heng. Thus she quietly moved her seat and sat on a soft stool next to the matriarch's feet. She then reached out to massage the matriarch's legs.
The matriarch loved having someone massage her the most. Although Chen Yu's skills were not as good as Jin Zhen's, it had been a long time since someone had taken care of her.
Chen Yu massaged her while chatting with her, "Granddaughter still remembers that grandmother was very good at telling stories when we were young. You told granddaughter many stories about heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals and deities."
Her method of reminiscing about her childhood really did stir up the matriarch's thoughts, "Your father always said that I had strange powers and deities. You all loved to hear it, as you would run over to my side every day and refuse to leave. Hah, now that you've all grown up, you no longer want to pay attention to this old lady. "
"What sort of thing is grandmother saying." Chen Yu quickly said: "Granddaughter is eager to spend every day at grandmother's side listening to grandmother's stories, but I am always worried about grandmother's health, so I do not dare disturb you too much. That year, when grandmother fell ill, Chen Yu was scared out of her wits. "
Her words brought the matriarch's thoughts back to a few years ago. At that time, something had happened to the Yao family. She was so anxious that she accidentally fainted. Fortunately, Daoist Zi Yang came to her door and saved her life. It was also at that time that Daoist Zi Yang divined the aspect of the phoenix for Chen Yu and Feng Yu Heng. This also strengthened her resolve to send Yao shi and her children to the Northwest.
Her fate was against the Feng manor! The matriarch thought about what Zi Yang had said and thought about the unforeseen events that had happened to the Feng family ever since Feng Yu Heng returned to the manor. She could not help but begin to ponder.
Feng Yu Heng naturally did not know what the matriarch was thinking. She fell asleep in a daze until Zirui used his small hand to nudge her and quietly said: "Sis, it's time to get up. Noon has already passed. We can return after eating dumplings."
Feng Yu Heng woke up very quickly. When Zirui spoke, she opened her eyes and grabbed Zirui's hand: "Let's not eat. Let's return to Tong Sheng pavilion and eat with mother."
Zirui became happy: "Good!" While saying good, he asked Xiang Rong: "Third sister and concubine mother An will return with us, alright?"
An shi looked at Feng Yu Heng and saw her nod. Only then did she say: "Alright, thank you young master."
Xiang Rong was also very happy to be able to go to Tong Sheng pavilion and took the initiative to grab Zirui's hand. She then heard Zirui turn around and say to Feng Jin Yuan: "Mother is still waiting for us at the county princess' manor. Since it's already past midnight, Zirui and elder sister will not remain any longer. We wish father and grandmother good health in the new year." After saying this, he grabbed Feng Yu Heng and Xiang Rong and ran off.
The two girls did not even have a chance to salute their elders, as An shi helplessly said: "Elder madam, master, please do not take offense. Young master is still young."
Feng Jin Yuan nodded, "It's fine. You can go. Mother and I will not argue with a child like him."
Only then did An shi bring her servant and quickly catch up with the people in front. The group returned to Tong Sheng pavilion.
Yao shi saw that her children had all returned and was very happy. An shi and Xiang Rong being able to come together made her even happier. Everyone took care of making dumplings, and the servants also came to join in on the fun. Like this, they were rewarded with quite a bit of money.
Wang Chuan told Feng Yu Heng: "Madam said that young miss will definitely come back to eat dumplings. She ordered the servants to prepare the stuffing and noodles early in the morning. We were just waiting for you to come back and make them together."
Feng Yu Heng was still holding a dumpling in her hand. Hearing this, however, she felt choked up.
In her previous life, her mother and younger brother had passed away early, leaving her and her father to rely on each other. Although the Feng family in her previous life was also a large family, it was not as strict with rules as it was in ancient times. There was no need to spend the new year together. In addition to this, everyone was busy, and she was in the military. Like this, it had been many years since she had spent time with a large family.
She still remembered the year before she transmigrated. She happened to be accompanying a group of sick and injured soldiers. She had been busy for an entire month before the end of the year. It was only after midnight on new year's eve that she finally returned to her father's home. Her father had said to her: I knew that you would definitely come back to eat dumplings.
She had come to the Dashun court and forced herself not to think too much about her previous life. She had also deliberately avoided any memories related to her family.
But avoiding them did not mean that they did not exist. There would always be some memories that would enter her current life. For example, right now, the sudden surge of tears did not even allow her to turn her head away. Just like that, the tears began to fall. This caused everyone in the room to be stunned …
