The matriarch's appearance caused Kang Yi and Ru Jia to be very puzzled. Even the people of the Feng manor were puzzled.
A handkerchief made of moon palace silk! Even if it was just a handkerchief, it was still a priceless item, but why did the matriarch's face seem to be filled with dissatisfaction? There was even a bit of … disdain?
How could they know that just this morning, Feng Yu Heng had personally given her an outer garment made of moon palace silk. Just how many handkerchiefs could be made from the fabric of a garment! Moreover, the matriarch had heard that the Emperor had given two bolts of moon palace silk to Princess Ru Jia yesterday. How could he be so stingy as to only give her a handkerchief?
Of course, the matriarch's expression of dissatisfaction was not too obvious. In just an instant, she recovered. But the smile on her face was not as full as before, as she faintly said to them: "Honored guests have come to visit. Why are you still standing? Please sit."
Kang Yi awkwardly sat down, her heart filled with even more confusion.
This moon palace silk handkerchief, not to mention the matriarch of a first rank official's family, even if she were to give it to the imperial concubines in the palace, they would be so happy that they would treat her as an honored guest. Why was it that the moon palace silk had no effect at all in the Feng manor? Ever since the banquet yesterday, the Feng family's second young miss and third young miss had received moon palace silk as if they had received a normal handkerchief. There was not a single hint of surprise. She had thought that it was because children did not understand the value of this item, but the Feng matriarch's actions today forced her to think more.
However, no matter how much she thought about it, she could not understand the reason. However, there were some kind-hearted people who were willing to remind her, such as Feng Yu Heng: "Eldest princess, please do not take offense. Everyone knows how valuable moon palace silk is. Perhaps it's because Heng gave grandmother an outer garment made of moon palace silk, so grandmother was not as surprised by this handkerchief."
Kang Yi was slightly startled. An outer garment made of moon palace silk? How much material would that require? And it was given to the matriarch?
The confusion in her heart was voiced by Ru Jia: "County princess Ji An really is joking. Do you know the value of an outer garment made of moon palace silk?"
Feng Yu Heng faintly smiled and said: "Naturally, I know this. But regardless of the value, in Heng Heng's heart, it is not as important as being filial to grandmother. As long as Grandmother likes it, Mr. Heng is willing to buy anything, no matter how expensive it is. "
Even if it was Kang Yi, she still felt a bit embarrassed by her words. However, she still said: "Thinking about it, county princess must have used all of the materials that could be brought out. For the elder madam to have such a good granddaughter, she truly is fortunate."
The old lady nodded repeatedly. "That's right. This granddaughter of mine is the most sensible and filial."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said, "Grandmother, you flatter me." He then looked at Ru Jia, as though he was chatting idly with her: "I have never been to Qian Zhou. I heard that that place is covered in ice and snow all year round. Is it extremely cold?"
Ru Jia nodded and said loudly, "That's right! Compared to our Qian Zhou, your Dashun's capital is too much warmer. I heard that a legless Winter is already considered a disaster here. Tsk, tsk, I really don't dare imagine it. If you went to Qian Zhou, it would be strange if you did not freeze to death. "
"Ru Jia, speak properly." Kang Yi helplessly reminded her, "As a girl, you need to be reserved and dignified when speaking. Take a look at yourself!"
Feng Jin Yuan finally had a chance to interject, saying: "It's fine. Princess Ru Jia's personality is straightforward. She is most like a daughter of the North."
Ru Jia giggled and said to Feng Jin Yuan: "It really is Prime minister Feng that treats Ru Jia the best."
But Feng Yu Heng asked: "Qian Zhou is that cold? But it sounds like a very beautiful place. I heard that there is a type of fox in the North. Its entire body is black, and it's large. It's extremely valuable. Is there really such a thing? "
In regards to this, Ru Jia was very interested and quickly said: "Of course there is! This year, my uncle caught one and skinned it for me. I even brought it to Dashun and was preparing to find a good tailor to have a cloak made. "
"Oh." Feng Yu Heng nodded, "A cloak made from the skin of an ink fox would truly be considered priceless."
Once she said this, Kang Yi immediately understood what she meant. She could not help but feel secretly shocked, as she thought to herself that county princess Ji An actually had such a clever mind at such a young age.
She quickly said: "Ru Jia, don't speak nonsense. How could such a valuable thing be used to make a cloak? Didn't I already say that it was prepared to be made into a cloak for elder madam Feng when we just came to the Feng manor. Did you bring it? "
Ru Jia was startled. She never thought that her mother would bring up this topic. That was clearly something that belonged to her! The young girl pouted and was about to roll her eyes; however, she saw her mother give her a look. She could not help but sigh and knew that she needed to cooperate with her mother. Thus she nodded, "Daughter was just playing around with county princess. That fox skin was especially large. How could Ru Jia's small body hold it up. Of course, it was a gift for elder madam Feng. It's just that I came out in a hurry today and forgot to bring it. "
Kang Yi let out a sigh of relief internally; however, she helplessly shook her head, saying: "You! You only know how to cause trouble. "She then ordered the servants at her side:" Quickly go back to the posthouse to get it. "
The servants saluted then quickly left.
Only then did Kang Yi say to the matriarch: "It's all my daughter's fault for not being sensible. Elder madam, please do not take offense."
The matriarch heard that she had received another treasure. How could she still feel strange, as a smile immediately appeared on her face, "It's not strange, it's not strange. Children like to play around. It's a common thing." As she spoke, she glanced at Feng Yu Heng and gave her a grateful look. The matriarch had lived for most of her life, so she naturally understood that this gift was something that Feng Yu Heng had asked for. Otherwise, the eldest princess of Qian Zhou would have sent her away with a handkerchief.
Kang Yi gratefully smiled at the matriarch then turned to look at An shi, Han shi and Jin Zhen, asking: "Are you Lord Feng's family members?"
The three quickly stood up and bowed, with An shi saying: "This concubine is husband's concubines. We are indebted to eldest princess for mentioning us, and we are very apprehensive."
Kang Yi also knew that with her status, it was not appropriate for her to say anything, but the things that needed to be said still needed to be said: "This one already sent handkerchiefs to county princess Ji An and third young miss yesterday. This morning, I also sent one to fourth young miss, but I do not know where the manor's eldest young miss is currently?" She could not help but turn to look at Feng Jin Yuan: "Why do I not see the eldest young miss? This one still has a handkerchief left for her. "
Feng Jin Yuan was already feeling a little awkward because of the matter with the ink fox. Now that he heard Kang Yi ask about Chen Yu, he repeatedly waved his hand and said: "My eldest daughter's health is not good. She has been recuperating in her small courtyard. Eldest princess, there is no need to be courteous. Giving such a valuable thing to her would be a waste. It would be better to give it to princess Ru Jia to play with."
This time, Ru Jia understood and shook her head, saying: "If Ru Jia wanted a handkerchief made of moon palace silk, it would not be difficult. This really was left for the manor's eldest young miss."
Seeing that Feng Jin Yuan was a little troubled, An shi took the initiative to speak up: "Not to hide it from eldest princess, but eldest young miss is injured and is truly unable to receive guests. I hope eldest princess will forgive her. As for this handkerchief, there is no harm in having elder madam take care of it. When eldest young miss is a little better, it can be given to her. "
Kang Yi pondered a little then said: "That's also fine. Then I will trouble elder madam to give it to her!" After saying this, she was about to hand the final handkerchief to the matriarch, but at this time, a commotion came from outside the door.
Feng Jin Yuan's expression was not too good, as he quietly scolded the servants at his side: "Why has it become noisy again? Why don't you take a look at what day it is. Quickly go out and take a look! "
Before they could go out to take a look, they saw a person stumble in from outside the hall. Behind her was a servant.
Feng Jin Yuan immediately became furious, loudly shouting: "Who let her out?"
The group of servants behind him quickly knelt on the ground, as a granny said: "Master, we truly could not stop her! Eldest young miss held a pair of scissors and said that if we did not let her out, she would stab her neck. "
The person that had come was Feng Chen Yu. Although she had already put on makeup, the scar on her forehead could not be hidden. It looked very shocking.
Ru Jia was startled and said: "You are the Feng manor's eldest young miss? That's not right! I heard long ago that the Feng family's eldest young miss was the most beautiful person in the capital. There were even some that said that she was the most beautiful person in Dashun. You … "She looked carefully. Although Chen Yu's facial features were still beautiful, no matter how beautiful she was, she could not hide the fact that a piece of flesh was missing from her forehead. Looking at her, Ru Jia felt disgusted. "How could this be the most beautiful person. To say that she is the most ugly person would not be an exaggeration."
Feng Jin Yuan quickly said: "You must have scared princess, right? My daughter suffered some injuries a few days ago, so it's hard to avoid looking a little fierce. I will have someone send her back to recuperate. Young princess, please forgive me. "As he said this, he turned to the servants and said:" Why have you not quickly taken her away! "
But Chen Yu had already come, so how could she leave so easily. She grabbed Feng Jin Yuan's clothes and cried, saying: "Father, do you not want Chen Yu? Today is only the second day of the new year. Why have you not let Chen Yu out? Chen Yu wants to celebrate the new year with father. I want to be at grandmother's side and be filial. Father, can you not get angry at Chen Yu? Chen Yu knows that she was wrong. In the future, I will not dare do it again! "
Feng Jin Yuan tried to pull his clothes back a few times, but he was unable to. He could not help but become even angrier, and he wanted to explode once more; however, he saw eldest princess Kang Yi walk forward and half-squat in front of Chen Yu. She gently said: "You are called Chen Yu?"
Chen Yu was startled. Only then did she notice that an outsider had come to the house. For a while, she did not know how to respond. She only nodded in a daze. Thinking a little, she asked: "Who are you?"
Kang Yi did not reply. She just raised her hand and used a handkerchief to gently wipe away the sweat that had appeared on her forehead. She then placed the handkerchief in Chen Yu's hand, "I am the eldest princess from Qian Zhou. This is a handkerchief made of moon palace silk. It is a gift to you."
"This …" Chen Yu was a little stunned. She never thought that this sort of person would come to the house.
The matriarch saw that Chen Yu was truly unreasonable, but forcing her to go back was a little difficult. There was nothing that she could do. She could only take a step back and say: "Since you have come, just stay. In a while, we will eat together. Quickly help eldest young miss up. What sort of appearance is this crying during the new year. "
When Feng Chen Yu heard that she could stay, she immediately stopped worrying about the matter of the eldest princess. With the help of the servants, she slowly stood up. Even Xing 'er, who had come in with her, stood up. The two walked over to their seats while trembling with fear. From time to time, they would check to see if Feng Jin Yuan was angry or not.
After Chen Yu sat down, Kang Yi also returned to her seat. She then carefully observed Chen Yu for a while and could not help but exclaim: "Sure enough, you really are devastatingly beautiful! Eldest young miss Feng, that mole on the left side of your chin, is it a birthmark that you were born with? "
Chen Yu did not think that she would actually ask such a question. She could not help but raise her hand and touch her chin. She then nodded, "Indeed, it has been there since the day I was born."
Upon hearing this, Kang Yi's eyes immediately widened. Using an even more surprised expression, she looked at Chen Yu.
