The news that Xuan Tianhua was about to return to the capital roused Prince Lian's spirits. He grabbed Yuan Xiao's arm tightly and asked anxiously: "Have you asked around?"
Yuan Xiao nodded: "Yes, I've confirmed that he can enter the capital from the city's east gate before noon tomorrow. After returning to the capital, he should first go to the palace to report." However, Yuan Xiao did not understand. Looking at Prince Lian's excited face, he asked in puzzlement: "What does the Seventh Prince of Dashun returning to the capital have to do with Master?" Was there a need to be so excited?
"Everyone should admire the beauty of a deity!" Prince Lian rolled his eyes at Yuan Xiao. "What do you know, blockhead."
Yuan Xiao was helpless: "Didn't you say that you should learn a little from Yang Gang? Master, although Princess Ji 'an has already agreed to treat your illness, she also said on the way back that she can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. It's fine to restore your male body, but you should at least have a normal male mentality. If Master were to place your thoughts of the Seventh Prince on a girl, this subordinate would feel very gratified. "
"So long-winded!" Prince Lian glared: "Who is the Master between the two of us? Why is it that I only said a few words, and you're already lecturing me with a long speech? I'm really going against you two. Make some preparations, tomorrow afternoon we'll go find Yaya for tea. Let her bring me … bring me to meet that deity. "
"Don't you find it embarrassing?" Yun Xiao frowned and said: "It's fine if you secretly go take a look, but why do you have to trouble Princess Ji 'an? If she finds out that you're so useless as to go look at a man, who knows what she'll scold you for. " From the Northern Lands to the capital, Yuan Xiao knew about Feng Yu Heng's mouth and her fearless personality. If she wanted to scold Prince Lian, she would not hold back at all.
"You don't know how to analyze this!" Prince Lian said with a smile: "Think about it, that's the Seventh Prince of Dashun. Even if he's travel-worn and low-key, and doesn't come back with a grand procession, he would definitely take a horse carriage and not walk on the streets. If I went by myself, I would only be able to watch the carriage pass by from afar. What would be the point of that? But if you bring Yaya along, then it's different. Yaya is very familiar with him, and I heard that her brother is also with that immortal prince. She will definitely go and greet him as soon as possible. Won't she be able to use this opportunity to talk to him? "
Yuan Xiao frowned again. "You still want to talk? Master, what are you trying to do? This place is Dashun's capital. It is not the former Qian Zhou. In Qian Zhou, you could not do as you pleased. Why is it that you are becoming bolder and bolder after coming to Dashun's capital? "
Prince Lian shrugged and said in disapproval: "Because in the past, I was Qian Zhou's Prince Lian. Wherever I went and whatever I said, there would always be people paying attention. But it's different now. I'm just an ordinary citizen. Well, at most, I'm just an ordinary citizen with some money. I live my life as a commoner. Who can control me? "
"But you should at least go and take a look at the lady." Yuan Xiao finally said what he wanted to say. "Can't you take a look at the lady more? If you meet someone you like, bring a few back and make the manor lively! "
"Is having one in the manor not enough?" Prince Lian surrendered, "Yuan Xiao, I'll tell you. Only after spending every day with Wu Li Sheng did I understand why His Ninth Highness said that he would only marry Ya Ya. In the beginning, I thought that Ya Ya had some sort of ability to control her man's heart, but now, I find that it was a form of self-protection for Xuan Tianming. Women are too frightening. If one is already like this, what would happen if there were more? "
Yuan Xiao watched Prince Lian enter the manor while holding his head. Helplessly stomping his feet, he looked up at the sky and angrily said to himself: "Elder Prince, Princess, if you are watching from the heavens, please allow master to be a little more normal!"
On this side, Prince Lian returned to the manor. On the other side, Feng Jin Yuan returned to his own courtyard with the support of He Zhong.
When Feng Jin Yuan returned to the manor, Fen Dai was in the hall giving orders to the maidservant, Dong Ying: "Think of a way to find out what sort of person is living next door. Didn't they come to send gifts? Prepare some things to send back. This is called reciprocity. Take this chance to get to know them and find out what exactly is going on with this elder sister and husband."
Dong Ying nodded and thought a little before saying: "Young miss, as this servant sees it, the one that came earlier seemed to have a bit of a problem here." She pointed at her own head and said: "It doesn't look very smart."
Fen Dai did not notice this too much, only telling Dong Ying: "Either way, do your best to find out as much as possible."
"Good." Dong Ying complied and was about to leave; however, when she turned around, she saw Feng Jin Yuan walk in from the outside. He was limping and looked as though he had been injured. "Ah! Master has returned. " She went forward and helped Feng Jin Yuan into the hall to sit down. Only then did she bow and quickly leave.
Feng Jin Yuan had originally wanted to sit in the hall for a while; however, he did not think that Fen Dai would also be present. He could not help but feel a little awkward.
Fen Dai, however, did not know where this awkwardness came from, but she still remembered the reason that Feng Jin Yuan had left the manor today. She immediately asked: "Father went out today to plan an errand. How was it?"
Feng Jin Yuan shook his head, feeling very dejected.
"It was no good again?" Fen Dai's expression was a little ugly. She believed that Feng Jin Yuan's awkwardness was because of this, but she still could not hold back and said: "Father went out every day to plan things. How could it be that you were unable to find any errand?"
Feng Jin Yuan snorted but did not say anything. He did indeed want to find an errand, but he was still the left prime minister. This old face was still recognized by many people. In addition to this, he could not lower himself to do things that were too disreputable. He could not lower himself to do things that were too disreputable. As for things that were slightly more respectable, he could not lower himself to ask for a job from someone that had previously bowed and scraped to him. That was why as time went on, going out every day to plan things became finding a place to sit and drink tea. It was completely for show.
But the more he did not speak, the angrier Fen Dai became. She no longer had the respect and importance that she had in the past for this father. To Fen Dai, Feng Jin Yuan had already become a burden. Not only was he unable to pay a single cent to the manor, but he also needed to tell the fifth prince to provide financial assistance every month. If it happened once or twice, it would be fine, but if it happened every month, she really feared that the fifth prince would get tired of this sort of life before she became of marriageable age. She was only 12 years old. She was too far away from becoming of marriageable age.
"I fear that father has not gone out to plan things at all, right?" Fen Dai hit the nail on the head. Looking at Feng Jin Yuan's expression, she became even angrier. She could not help but curse: "Could it be that you still think of yourself as the left prime minister? A standard first rank official? You want face. What face do you have to want? Do you know that in the entire manor, you are the only one that is idle? The fifth prince providing me with financial assistance is natural, but what about you? Who has ever heard of the son-in-law beginning to provide for the family before he even came to visit? Concubine mother An and third sister both know how to use their own embroidery shops. Now, in the entire manor, you are the only one that does not have a source of money. Could it be that you plan to continue like this? "
Feng Jin Yuan was startled. He knew that because of him, Fen Dai's arrogance was becoming more and more intense. He originally thought that it would be fine to endure it. After all, he still needed to rely on the fifth prince to survive. But he never thought that Fen Dai would still say this sort of thing. For a while, he felt ashamed of himself.
But Fen Dai had not finished speaking, as she continued: "In truth, if father wanted to find a job, it would not be difficult. It's just that you have not found the right path."
"Hm?" Feng Jin Yuan was puzzled, "What path are you talking about?"
Fen Dai told him: "You are just lacking someone to recommend you. If someone is willing to recommend you, finding a decent job would not be difficult at all."
"Who can recommend me?" Feng Jin Yuan was startled then immediately said: "You're talking about the fifth prince? Hah! If the fifth prince can help make a recommendation for father, that would truly be half the work. "
As he saw it, as long as the fifth prince said a few words, it was completely possible for him to obtain a job that would be considered an official position, even though it did not have a rank.
However, he did not think that Fen Dai would hear this and snort coldly, saying: "You only know how to fawn on His Highness the fifth prince. Why don't you think about it. Previously, our family absolutely did not agree to His Highness the fifth prince's marriage proposal! For His Highness the fifth prince to have this sort of breadth of mind is already pretty good. Don't expect too much. "
Faced with Fen Dai's cold words, Feng Jin Yuan did not worry about his face. Instead, he asked: "Since it's not His Highness the fifth prince, who is it?"
Fen Dai angrily stomped her foot, "Who else could it be? Have you forgotten that you still have an imperial daughter as a daughter? It must be said who has the most power in the capital, aside from the imperial palace, isn't it the Ninth Prince! Your second daughter is Princess Ji An, and she is also the future Princess Yu. As long as she says the word, who in the capital would not give her face? Can't you go and look for your own flesh and blood? "
Feng Jin Yuan was extremely shocked and said: "No good, no good! How can I go and look for her? "
Fen Dai truly hated iron for not becoming steel: "Why can't you look for her? You are her father. You gave birth to her and raised her. Even if you threw her to the Northwest for three years, what about before? Before she went to the Northwest, could it be that she had the abilities she has today? Was she able to earn money to eat? She is standing in the position of the Feng family's daughter of the first wife, yet she does not do anything related to the daughter of the first wife. It's fine if you don't argue with her, but why is there a reason to not help when father comes to ask for help? "
Feng Jin Yuan was so anxious that sweat appeared on his forehead. She wanted him to go and look for Feng Yu Heng? Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
But Fen Dai spoke up once more: "Father, you must think carefully. There is still me and third sister that have not yet married! I am engaged to someone, but what about third sister? Even now, nobody has come to ask for her hand. Could it be that father will just watch her grow old and die in the manor? Third sister does not have Feng Yu Heng's abilities, nor does she have an outstanding appearance. She is even less motivated than your fourth daughter. Feng Xiang Rong is someone who will adapt to the circumstances. Don't count on using her as a bargaining chip to rope in a noble person. She does not have that status, and you do not have that life. That's why, in the end, when we get married, we still need the Feng family's face. It's fine if you are not the left prime minister, but you absolutely must not lose any face. When that time comes, don't blame us for not recognizing you after we get married! "
Fen Dai's words became more and more fierce, and Feng Jin Yuan trembled with anger. He asked Fen Dai: "Are you looking down on father?"
"Could it be that you do not look down on yourself?" Fen Dai was even more puzzled, "You don't even have this bit of self-awareness? Do you know that when we walk down the street, we are being criticized by people behind our backs! People are saying that our father is a eunuch! "
Feng Jin Yuan's face alternated between red and white. Hearing Fen Dai's words, he hated that he could not find a hole to crawl into. But at the same time, he began to seriously consider whether or not he should go and look for Feng Yu Heng. But it was not just for the sake of finding a job. Most importantly, it was for the sake of his life that had been damaged by Yao shi!
