Prince Lian had moved to a new residence, but he still had not put up a sign. At this very moment, the servants were under Prince Lian's command, hanging a sign with the words "Lian Residence" written on it.
The servants were holding ladders, and Prince Lian was below directing. From time to time, he would say: "A little to the left, a little more to the left. Ah, it's too far. Go right, go right. No, no, it needs to be a little higher." His voice was clear and did not completely sound like a woman's. It also carried a bit of a heroic spirit. Listening to it, it had a unique flavor and was extremely pleasant to listen to.
Feng Jin Yuan's carriage was parked to the side of the Lian Residence's entrance. He lifted the curtain and looked out. No matter what, he could not shift his gaze away from Prince Lian.
The servants of the Lian Residence were also disappointing. It was just a sign; however, even after hanging it up a few times, it still could not reach Prince Lian's satisfaction. Prince Lian placed his hands on his waist, and the angry expression on his face caused Feng Jin Yuan to feel even more uneasy.
The Feng residence's driver did not understand the situation. Lifting the curtain, he asked Feng Jin Yuan: "Master, are we not returning to the residence? This carriage cannot be parked in the middle of the road! "
Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand in irritation and simply got out of the carriage. He then scolded the driver: "Where is all this nonsense coming from? Just drive the carriage back first! "After saying this, he strode forward and walked straight toward Prince Lian.
The driver had been scolded for no reason; however, he did not know what exactly he had done wrong. Filled with grief and unhappiness, he drove the carriage back to the residence while looking back. With this look, he happened to see Feng Jin Yuan walk toward the beautiful woman in front of the residence. The smile on his face gave people the feeling that a flower was about to bloom.
The driver trembled and thought to himself that he had truly seen a ghost. Master Feng was already a half-crippled person. Why was it that he still did not give up on his lust? To just stick to her like this, not to mention choosing the current Feng family, it was impossible for that beautiful woman to take a liking to him. Even if she did take a liking to him, what of it? Can master Feng do it?
The driver had a look of disdain as he drove the carriage back to the residence. On this side, Feng Jin Yuan had already arrived behind Prince Lian. Taking a deep breath, he raised his voice and cupped his hands, saying: "Greetings, young miss!"
Feng Zhao Lian did not think that someone would suddenly shout from behind him, giving him a fright. Suddenly turning around, he patted his chest and said: "Who are you? You scared me to death. " This voice was filled with unhappiness, forcing Feng Jin Yuan to take a couple steps back.
When he had seen this woman instructing the servants to hang up the plaque on the carriage, he knew that this woman was not the gentle and beautiful type. However, the women that he had brought into the manor in this life included those as graceful as Yao shi, those as plain as An shi, those as charming as Han shi and Jin Zhen, and those as imposing as Kang Yi and the Cheng shi sisters. However, he had never met such a stunning beauty who was also a little mischievous, heroic, and lively type who did not care about trifles. Feng Jin Yuan's mind relaxed. No matter how he looked at the girl in front of him, he felt that she was truly the best in the world.
With one look, he was dumbfounded. He did not know how long he had been staring at him. It was so long that the servants of the Lian Residence could not bear it any longer. They came forward and asked, "I say, who are you? Is there anyone that stares at a young miss like this? "
The servants of the Lian Residence had all been bought on the spot. They did not know anything about Prince Lian. They only knew that there was a second young miss in the manor that was not very bright. She spent her days calling her elder sister husband. She was truly pitiful.
With the servants causing a ruckus, Feng Jin Yuan finally recovered. He quickly saluted to Prince Lian then said: "Young miss, please do not misunderstand. This one is from the Feng family next door. My name is Feng Jin Yuan. Returning to the manor today, I passed by this place and saw that young miss was troubled by a plaque, thus I thought of getting out of the carriage to ask if young miss needed any help."
"Feng Jin Yuan?" Feng Zhao Lian thought quickly and immediately understood this person's identity. He immediately did not hold back and nodded. Pointing at the plaque that had not yet been properly hung, he said: "If you really have the heart, just help me hang up that plaque!"
"That's not a problem, that's not a problem. This one will definitely hang it up properly for young miss. Young miss can be at ease." Upon hearing that Feng Zhao Lian had accepted his kindness and was willing to have him help, Feng Jin Yuan was overjoyed. He immediately looked up and said to the servants: "You can all come down. I will hang up the plaque for the young miss."
"Oh!" One of the servants laughed: "Master, look at your physique. You must be a weak scholar, right? You want to come up and hang up the plaque? I fear that you can't even lift this plaque. "
"Nonsense!" Feng Jin Yuan became angry. How could his body be said to be weak in front of a beauty? This was truly too shameful! "Whether or not a person has strength is something that can be determined based on the naked eye? Come down and see if I can hang up the plaque properly! "
The servant was happy to see a joke and very quickly descended the ladder. He then hugged the sign in his hand and told Feng Jin Yuan: "Then you can go up first. After you have gone up, this lowly one will hand this sign to you."
Feng Jin Yuan nodded and began climbing up the ladder. In truth, this ladder was not very tall. It reached the top after roughly six steps and needed to stop. But when Feng Jin Yuan climbed to the fourth step, he clearly felt his legs begin to tremble. From below, it did not look like a challenge, but climbing up on his own was completely different.
Feng Jin Yuan had been a government official for many years, and there were many servants at home. When had he ever done this sort of climbing? But now, he was helping a beauty, and there were so many pairs of eyes watching. He had already boasted, so he had no choice but to climb this ladder.
Thus he gritted his teeth and charged up. When he finally reached the sixth step with great difficulty, however, he did not dare let go of the hand that was holding onto the ladder. Because he had already reached the top of the ladder, there was nothing else to hold onto. His entire body could only remain bent. Sticking his butt out, it was very unsightly.
The servants below looked at him in amusement, and the person holding the plaque asked: "Master, are you acting like a shrimp? Either stand up straight, or I'll have to trouble you to reach back and receive the plaque. This lowly one is still holding onto it for you. "
However, Feng Jin Yuan did not dare stand up straight, nor did he dare reach back. He could only remain bent, and his legs trembled. In his heart, he was filled with regret for his earlier bold words.
Prince Lian sneered and raised his head to look at him, impolitely saying: "Neighbor, didn't you say that you would help me hang up the plaque? Why is it that you have already climbed up, yet you do not dare receive the plaque? This help of yours is a bit perfunctory, right? Could it be that you're scared? It's fine. It's not that high. Even if you fall, you will not die, but if you remain frozen like this, there will be more and more people on the street. Neighbor, your face will become a problem. "
Upon hearing this, Feng Jin Yuan began to panic. He immediately gritted his teeth and closed his face. Without caring about whether it was high or not, he raised his right hand and reached down: "Hand the plaque to me."
"Okay!" The servant immediately handed over the board in his hand.
Feng Jin Yuan placed his thumb on the inside and his four fingers on the outside. With a squeeze, he prepared to pick up the plaque. However, he had underestimated the weight of the board. As soon as the person below let go of his hand, he instantly felt a strong force tugging at his arm and pulling it down. His body could no longer maintain its stability, and with this strength, he directly plunged downwards.
The servants below were given a fright, as they all went forward to catch him; however, they did not catch Feng Jin Yuan. Instead, they caught the newly made plaque. With the plaque in hand, they immediately hugged it and moved to the side, allowing Feng Jin Yuan to fall from the ladder and land on the ground with a "bang." Not a single person went forward to help him.
Instead, it was Feng Zhao Lian who shouted toward the Feng manor: "Hey! Someone from the Feng family, quickly come over. Someone that seems to be your family's master fell here. "
In truth, the Feng family's gatekeeper had already seen what Feng Jin Yuan had done, but nobody cared about it. Feng Jin Yuan was no longer the same as before. He was no longer the prime minister. He was just a commoner. To put it bluntly, he was still a eunuch commoner.
The servants of the Feng family watched Feng Jin Yuan's eyes light up as he rushed toward the girl. Their hearts were filled with disdain, so how could they be willing to care about such a trivial matter. But now that Feng Zhao Lian had called for someone, they had no choice but to go.
The gatekeepers ran over to Prince Lian along with housekeeper He Zhong. Upon seeing that Feng Jin Yuan was holding his butt and half-lying on the ground, they could not help but smirk.
But while they felt disdain, they still needed to care about it. He Zhong was the first to go forward and ask: "Master, are you alright?"
Feng Jin Yuan saw that He Zhong had come and quickly said to him: "Quickly! Go up and help this young miss put up the plaque. It must be put up straight! "
He Zhong was puzzled and asked him: "Why do we need someone from our manor to put up a plaque in someone else's home?"
Feng Jin Yuan was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up: "I told you to go up, so go up. What's with all the nonsense. I …"
Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Feng Zhao Lian. Feng Zhao Lian said: "No need. It's not like my manor doesn't have any servants. Master Feng is too courteous. Quickly help master Feng back. It would be best to invite a doctor to take a look. It would be best if he did not break anything. " While saying this, he covered his mouth and chuckled. He then turned his head and said to the servants: "Go to the accounts room and get ten taels of silver. Consider it money for master Feng to invite a doctor."
"No need, no need!" Feng Jin Yuan had no place to put his face. Forcefully enduring the pain, he had He Zhong help him back to the Feng manor. While walking, he did not forget to look back at Feng Zhao Lian. With great reluctance, he said: "I will definitely come to apologize at a later date."
Feng Zhao Lian smiled to him and replied: "Then I will respectfully welcome master Feng's honored arrival."
This smile caused Feng Jin Yuan's soul to fly out of his body.
Only after he had returned to the Feng manor did the servants begin a new round of hanging signs. At the same time, they also mocked Feng Jin Yuan.
Feng Zhao Lian looked at the Feng manor and found it funny. Turning his head, he said to the guard, Yun Xiao: "Did you see that? That person just now was Ya Ya's shameless father. I heard that he was stabbed by Ya Ya's birth mother. That thing down there is gone; however, he still refuses to give up. Shouldn't this sort of person be fiercely dealt with? "
The guard, Yun Xiao, nodded, "That's right. Daring to set his sights on master, he must be taught a lesson."
Feng Zhao Lian smirked, "Then can you teach that woman in the manor that calls herself my official wife a lesson? Your master really is irritated to the point of panic! "
Yun Xiao shook his head, "That one is not a threat to you, and she does not have any ill intentions. Moreover, master should interact more with girls. Sooner or later, you will need to form a family. "
Feng Zhao Lian gritted his teeth! "I'll form your sister's family!"
Yun Xiao, however, did not think much of it. He only told him one thing: "The matter that master wanted me to investigate has taken shape. That deity-like His Highness the seventh prince of Dashun will be returning to the capital before noon tomorrow!"
