Feng Yu Heng did not know what was in their boxes. Out of curiosity, she opened them to take a look. Very well, it was all banknotes.
Xuan Tian Ge, Fung Tian Yu and Ren Xi Feng had spent quite a bit. Each box contained 100 thousand taels of silver. Ren Xi Feng took the initiative to speak: "Us sisters are not outsiders. There are some things that I will not hide and speak openly. Over the past few days, I have heard father sigh about the instability of the situation in the South. Just the day before yesterday, father told me the truth. He said that there will definitely be chaos in the South after the first month, and it will be a very difficult battle. His Ninth Highness has taken over the military in the South. Logically, he should be the one to lead the battle, but leaving His Highness the eighth prince in the capital is a hidden danger. Even if he does not take action in the capital for now, his old subordinates in the South will not so easily listen to His Ninth Highness's orders. They do not dare rebel openly, but what they fear is doing in secret. With an army of 300 thousand, there are countless spies among them. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Eighth Prince will definitely take action in terms of military supplies to cut off His Ninth Highness's path of retreat. "
Fung Tian Yu agreed, saying: "My father also made the same analysis, and there are secret reports from the South. This battle is most likely something that His Highness the eighth prince discussed with Gu Shu and the other small countries in the desert. Everything is for the sake of helping him obtain the throne."
"Of course, if ninth brother can be eliminated on the battlefield, that would be the best." Xuan Tian Ge snorted coldly and said: "The ambition of a wolf. I really don't understand how I could have this sort of elder brother." She said to Feng Yu Heng: "We have already discussed it. You are not lacking in anything here. It would not be strange for us to give you some jewelry for girls. It would be better to contribute some of our private savings. We are clear that if ninth brother goes onto the battlefield, it is impossible for you to just stand by and do nothing. It's possible that you will need to take care of things like supplies and supplies. Take these banknotes. There will be a place where you can use them. "
Bai Fu Rong did not speak the entire time, nor did she bring out any money. Only now did she speak. She said to Feng Yu Heng: "Heng, my family doesn't have that much money, but don't worry, I won't do nothing. My father and I have already thought of a way to deal with this. Just wait for our good news, there will definitely be good news in two days."
Feng Yu Heng was puzzled and looked at them in confusion. "What do you want to do?" Did they learn from her and go out to rob?
Xuan Tiange smiled mysteriously, "I won't tell you for now, just wait patiently for two days. We will definitely think of a way to prepare more food and money for Ninth Brother's army. No matter what kind of storm Eighth Brother causes in the capital, as long as we have money, we won't be afraid."
Feng Yu Heng saw that there was no other way, and the few of them refused to say anything. She could only helplessly remind them, "No matter what you do, you must pay attention to your safety. You are not allowed to do anything that endangers your life, understand?"
Fung Tianyu laughed until her stomach hurt: "Hah, it's just a banquet. What's so dangerous about it!"
This nearly slipped out of her mouth, but she was glared at by Xuan Tianming, causing her to not make a sound. She only covered her mouth and smiled. The group chatted and laughed for half a day. At noon, they even ate lunch at the imperial daughter's manor. The dishes made by the Refined Deity Building's chef always made it so that they could not move. Xuan Tiange hiccuped while saying: "Heng, you are going to your fief, but you can't bring all of the servants in the manor, right? How about you just give this manor to me and return with me to the palace! I promise that I will not treat him unfairly. "
Feng Yu Heng rolled her eyes and firmly shook her head: "No, no, if you like the maidservants and grannies, I can give them to you, but I must bring the chef with me."
"Stingy!" Xuan Tiange angrily pinched her, "100 thousand taels of silver is not enough to exchange for a chef? This princess only needs a few dozen taels of silver to buy a chef that has an irrevocable contract. "
Once these words came out, even Bai Fu Rong could not bear to listen, "Tiange, how can a chef that sells himself for a few dozen taels of silver compare to Refined Deity Building's? You haven't even asked how much Heng Heng pays him in a month in the imperial daughter's manor. "
Xuan Tiange became interested and curiously asked Feng Yu Heng: "How much do you pay?"
Feng Yu Heng extended five fingers, "The same as when he was in Refined Deity Building."
"Five taels?"
"It's 50 taels."
Xuan Tiange hiccuped once more. Although she was not shocked by 50 taels of silver, she was a little shocked that a chef could receive such a salary. Normally speaking, the servants of the manor received a salary of two taels of silver a month. The more important personal attendants received three to five taels, and the housekeeper received eight taels. Those who were more generous would give extra rewards during the New Year. Of course, those who worked in large families would often receive extra rewards from their masters and their guests. That was why even though the salary did not sound high, people still wanted to work as servants in large families because there was more income in the gray area!
But it was too rare to see someone like Feng Yu Heng, who gave a chef 50 taels a month. But the chef of Refined Deity Building! But anyone that had eaten Refined Deity Building's food knew that even the white rice that Refined Deity Building made was better than what other places made, not to mention the dishes. He received 50 taels a month in Refined Deity Building, and he received tips from guests every day. If Feng Yu Heng gave him less, it would be very unreasonable.
Xuan Tiange smirked and did not bring up the matter of the chef again. The group finished eating and drinking and were about to leave. Right before they left, they mysteriously told Feng Yu Heng to wait for their good news, saying that they would definitely give her a pleasant surprise.
Feng Yu Heng could not guess what sort of pleasant surprise it would be. Her mind was filled with the word "robbery", but after thinking about it, these people really did not have the ability to rob her. Helpless, she could only listen to them and wait for the good news.
The group had come in their own carriages. She deliberately kept Xuan Tiange for a while longer. When everyone else had left, she entrusted a matter to Xuan Tiange, "I am preparing to send two people to the imperial physician's courtyard from the former Hundred Herb Hall. Originally, I could have done this myself, but I acted too late. Now, I no longer have the chance. Can you see if you can help me arrange it? I keep feeling that the atmosphere in the palace is a little off. Someone needs to be left inside. Moreover, Imperial Concubine Mother Yun also needs someone to take care of her. "
Xuan Tiange thought it was something big and happily patted Feng Yu Heng's hand: "Don't worry, have them come to the palace to look for me later. After the 15th of the first month, I will arrange for the two of them to enter the palace. I guarantee that they will not be alerted. But don't come on the 10th! I have something important to do on that day. "After she finished speaking, she waved her hand casually and got into the imperial carriage to leave.
Feng Yu Heng felt that the important matter Xuan Tiange mentioned on the 10th definitely had something to do with her, but there was nothing she could do if she did not say it. Helpless, she returned to the palace. She was still very interested in guessing with Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, but she only treated it as a topic to relieve boredom.
That night, she brought Zirui to the Yao manor to eat dinner. She told them about her plans to go to her fief, causing her aunts to wipe away tears. Xu shi was still very concerned about her marriage, saying to her: "No matter what, your coming-of-age ceremony must be held in the capital. Aunty will be preparing your marriage here. Don't worry, we will not miss out on anything."
Second Aunt Qin shi also said: "When I went out the day before yesterday, I happened to meet Lady Zhou from the Imperial Palace Yu. She even told me about your marriage. She said that the Imperial Palace Yu is also preparing for it."
Third Aunt's Miao Clan was a little worried: "Say, don't you think that leaving like this is a little too rushed? Is it far from the capital to Ji 'an Prefecture? How many days will it take? "
Feng Yu Heng patiently said: "The fief is in Yu Zhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Yun Province in the Southwest. Leaving from the capital, it will take five to six days on a fast horse. Taking a carriage, it will only take 15 days."
"It's that far?" Her three aunts were a little worried, but Feng Yu Heng had always been a person with her own ideas. Once she made up her mind, she would not change it easily. The three of them knew that they could not persuade her, so they could only quickly prepare some things so that she could bring them with her when she left. Normally, countries would not invest in fiefs, and they would not be rich lands. If their children went there, they would definitely suffer. Fortunately, the Southwest was not like Huang Zhou. At this time, the new year would be over, and the weather would slowly improve. It would be better than going there in the middle of winter.
Yao Jing Jun reminded Xu shi: "Prepare some money for Heng Heng to bring with her. There are many things that need to be done in the fief. Without money, nothing can be done." Xu shi repeatedly nodded. Even Qin shi and the Miao Clan were preparing to go to the treasury in a while to find some valuable things for their children to bring with them.
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly, "I do not lack money." She really did not lack money. Not only did she not lack money, she was also a wealthy person. Not counting the money that she had before, just the money that she had stolen from the Sheng Palace was enough to blind people. She was thinking of moving all the things in the imperial daughter's manor's treasury into her space. Once she left, she did not know when she would be able to return. Moreover, she would not be in the manor, and she would not be on guard. She could not allow people with ulterior motives to take advantage of this. She was a money-grubber, and she was even calculating whether or not she should take all the valuables in the manor with her.
On the other side, the Yao family strongly refuted her words. Xu shi took the lead and said: "What you have is yours. What we are preparing is the family's goodwill."
Yao Jing Jun nodded: "When you get married in the future, you will be a member of the Xuan family. Everything will naturally be taken care of by the Imperial Palace Yu. But right now, you are not married yet. You are my Yao family's child. When a child goes away, the family will naturally prepare for it. "
Feng Yu Heng's heart was moved. Coming to this world, aside from Xuan Tianming, only the Yao family could give her this kind of warmth. Moreover, her own grandfather was also here.
She smiled at Yao Xian until her eyes narrowed, but Yao Xian did not say much. He just drank cup after cup of wine to drown his sorrows. His granddaughter was about to leave the capital, and it was through this method. He could not swallow this anger in his heart. But what could he do even if he could not swallow it? He was just a doctor. Could he kill the Eighth Prince?
After the New Year, Feng Yu Heng was only able to have a proper reunion dinner with the Yao family on the night of the eighth day of the first month. There was nothing she could do. Fortunately, the Yao family understood her. Even her cousins treated her as if she was their own little sister. They talked and laughed, which also washed away a lot of the sadness of parting.
When she left the Yao family, she left Zirui here. She would be leaving the capital in a few days. She wanted to use this time to let Zirui interact more with the Yao family and cultivate their feelings. This way, the child would not feel sad after she suddenly left.
Zirui was very sensible. He would go wherever she told him to go. Only when he sent Feng Yu Heng back home did he whisper to her: "Elder sister, no matter where you are, Zirui will always be the one who misses you the most. Elder sister, don't worry. When I grow up, Zirui will grow up and protect elder sister's side. I won't go anywhere. "
Feng Yu Heng's nose turned sour. She quickened her steps and returned to the princess' residence. She did not sleep well that night. One moment, she dreamed that Xuan Tianming had an accident on the battlefield in the South. The next moment, she dreamed that Zirui was crying and calling for his elder sister. It was not until daybreak that she was finally able to sleep. When she woke up, it was already nine in the morning.
Wang Chuan helped her wash up. Huang Quan ran back from outside and told her a piece of news. "Princess Wuyang sent invitations to all the madams and young misses of the officials' families in the capital, but only our princess' residence was left out."
