Xuan Tianhua smiled and said: "It's not to the extent of not having a place to stay, firstly, I have been to that small county, the inn is not big, it's already not bad for all of you to be able to stay there. Secondly, that small county is just a passing county, all the households will rent out their residences, passersby who are unable to stay in the inn will also stay in the residences, it's fine as long as they pay. "
Only then did she know that there was such a custom, so she thanked Xuan Tianhua with a smile. The few of them chatted for a while, she did not stay any longer, returning to the carriage and leaving in a hurry. But the group agreed that they would use an eagle to send a message at least once every five days. Xuan Tian Ming would send the message first, and she would just need to reply. At the very least, she would need to explain the situation in her fief. This would prevent them from worrying.
From start to finish, Xiangrong sat in the carriage and did not come out, she did not even lift the curtain to take a look outside. She clearly knew that the Seventh Prince was outside, she clearly heard his voice, her heart clearly felt uncomfortable, but she still endured it. Since she chose to leave the capital, it was to start a new life, those people and things that she once had extravagant hopes for but were always out of her reach, it would be best if she could gradually forget about them, not wanting them to be mentioned again, and not wanting them to be recalled.
Feng Yu Heng admired this kind of Xiangrong, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, if one could pick up, one must be able to let go, unless one had absolute confidence in winning, otherwise, there was no need to put all of one's energy on one person. Of course, she felt that for Xiangrong to have the courage to change, the Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi also contributed greatly. Maybe it was really like that saying: To forget a person, the best way is to remember another person. She did not know if Xiangrong placed the Fourth Prince in her heart, but at least towards the Seventh Prince, this girl could already face him with a relatively rational attitude. Although this so-called "face" was actually just avoiding it, knowing how to avoid it was also considered an improvement.
The group of carriages moved very quickly, all the carriages had been carefully selected and modified. Feng Yu Heng took out many wheelchairs from her space earlier, not doing anything else but removing the rubber rings on the wheels, then letting the craftsmen here think of a way to piece them back together and glue them back together, using rubber to make the outer layer of the wheels of the carriages, there was still a small amount of air inside, achieving a very effective shock absorption effect. In addition, the cabin of every carriage had been specially modified, although it was definitely not as exquisite and luxurious as Feng Yu Heng's carriage, it was definitely more comfortable to sit in it than a normal carriage. Every carriage was equipped with a small red clay stove, to make it convenient for people to boil hot water, Feng Yu Heng also let Wang Lin to be in charge of purchasing, ensuring that there was plenty of food to eat in every carriage.
When traveling with many people, no matter how fast they were, they would not be able to outrun a single person on a horse. Sometimes, in order to hasten the journey, it was very likely that they would miss lunch and dinner. It was even possible that they would not be able to reach the next state capital at night and would have to sleep in the carriage. That was why every carriage had quite a bit of food and necessities to make it easier to stay overnight.
Going on a long journey was nothing new for Feng Yu Heng, after all, she had gone to Qian Zhou. It was just that going to Qian Zhou was getting colder and colder, while going to her fief was getting hotter and hotter.
But for Xiang Rong, going out was too difficult. Not to mention going far, but she had practically never even left the capital. She had spent over a decade in that small world. If it was not for the changes in the Feng manor, she would still be cooped up in the manor, not leaving the main gate or taking a single step out!
Xiang Rong lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the weather in the suburbs of the capital was still very cold, as a cold wind immediately blew in. But she endured this cold wind for a long time, only feeling her mood improve. Even her mind seemed to have opened up.
Shan Cha was a little unable to endure the cold, but seeing that the second young miss and the other two maidservants had indifferent expressions, she was too embarrassed to advise Xiang Rong to lower the curtain. She knew that her young miss had lived too miserably in the past. Later on, she met the fourth prince, and her entire body seemed to have gained a bit of vitality, but that vitality was limited. Once she returned to that small world, she immediately calmed down. She had never seen Feng Xiang Rong like this before. It was as though her entire body was filled with vitality, and she was able to feel happy as well.
It was Feng Yu Heng that took the initiative to help lower the curtain, saying to Xiang Rong: "I know how you feel, and I understand that you want to see more of the outside world, but you need to be careful of catching a cold. This is just a barren mountain in the suburbs of the capital. There is nothing much to see. After a few more days, we will be getting closer to the Southwest. The weather will warm up, and the environment will be different from the capital. When that time comes, we will see the true scenery along the way. "
Xiang Rong had always listened to her second sister, so she immediately sat up straight and stopped looking. Her small face, however, had already turned bright red from the cold. Shan Cha quickly picked up the copper pot that had been on the stove and poured some warm tea for her. She held it in her hand and warmed it up a little. "Second sister, say, I'm not dreaming, right?" The relationship between the two sisters had always been quite good. She would not think of distancing herself because of how noble her sister's status was. To Xiang Rong, Feng Yu Heng had always been the benchmark for her thoughts. Unfortunately, she did not live up to expectations and would never be able to reach that height.
Feng Yu Heng also received the tea that Wang Chuan had poured for her. After taking a sip, she said: "If it really was a dream, that cold wind should have woken you up." She reached out and pinched the girl's face, "Over the years, you've become a little thinner, but your complexion is much better than when I just returned from the Northwest."
Xiang Rong squinted her eyes and smiled. It was Shan Cha that picked up the conversation, saying to Feng Yu Heng: "Second young miss has also noticed that third young miss' complexion has improved? This is all thanks to His Highness the fourth prince sending over quite a few nice things. At that time, His Highness the fourth prince said that third young miss' complexion was not good, so he brought over quite a few ginseng and other medicinal herbs from the manor. This servant would boil them for third young miss to drink. As she drank them, she really did get better. Even concubine mother An praised her! "
Xiang Rong smirked, "He said that he had too many things in his manor and had no place to put them, and he did not have a woman to help him eat them. I reckon that I might as well help him out a bit." After saying this, she snorted coldly, "In truth, it's not that he doesn't have a woman to help him eat them. I heard that there are a few maidservants in the inner courtyard, but that person is stingy and is unwilling to give them to others. It's just a few hundred-year-old ginseng. What's there to be unwilling to give them up. And he's a prince! "
When the fourth prince was mentioned, Xiang Rong always had a lot to say. Although her expression and tone were filled with resentment, a difference could still be heard. It was just that the girl involved did not notice this difference. Feng Yu Heng was sensitive enough to notice it; however, she did not want to talk about it too deeply. In her subconscious mind, she always felt that Xiang Rong was still young. How could a 13-year-old girl understand what love was? Regardless of whether it was the Seventh Prince or the Fourth Prince, the feelings developed at this age might just be a momentary misconception. If she blindly led her to choose between these two people, then it would be pure misdirection. Feng Yu Heng did not want to mislead Xiang Rong. She just hoped that Xiang Rong would be able to calmly look at everything. After another two years, her mind would become more mature. Only then would she have the ability to make her own judgments.
"Second sister." After the topic of the fourth prince was brought up, it did not linger. Xiang Rong very quickly changed the topic. It was so natural, and it was not deliberate in the slightest. She asked Feng Yu Heng: "I heard that the fief's side is still barren. Are we going to reclaim it?"
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly, "It can't be considered reclaiming it, but it's not so barren that there is nothing there. I have asked around. There are still some villages over there, and there are quite a few people living there. It's just that they are all relatively poor. For the time being, they will be managed by the prefect of Yu Zhou. We need to think of a way to get the villagers to work hard and become rich. Of course, we need to first build houses in the area. Otherwise, we won't even have a place to live. "
Xiang Rong felt that this was a novel idea. It could not be said that she was afraid. Instead, she was looking forward to it. But Shan Cha was a little worried. They did not even have a place to live. Could it be that they would have to sleep on the streets? The villages over there were very poor, but to what extent were they poor? She did not dare ask Feng Yu Heng. Instead, she turned her gaze to Wang Chuan and Huang Quan. Huang Quan liked to talk. While eating sunflower seeds, he said: "Don't worry. It's easy to get things done when there are many poor people. As long as we can afford the money, what sort of labor can we not have! In the worst case, we can just stay in the prefect's office. Wouldn't he need to take good care of us. "
Only then did Shan Cha feel at ease! That's right, the second young miss was not just the second young miss. She was also an imperial daughter. With the imperial daughter arriving, that prefect would need to curry favor with her.
In regards to this, Feng Yu Heng nodded. It could be considered as acknowledging this sort of arrangement. She had planned to stay in the prefectural magistrate's mansion when she arrived there. Then, after choosing a good location in the fief, she would immediately hire someone to build a house for her. At the same time, she wanted to learn more about the local customs and people as soon as possible. She wanted to build her house as soon as possible and attract more investment.
Speaking of, the prefect of Yu Zhou was not an outsider. Ever since Feng Yu Heng had been conferred the title of county princess, Xuan Tianming had already made plans to swap out Ji An's immediate superior, the prefect of Yu Zhou. The current prefect of Yu Zhou was one of his people. His only daughter of the first wife had married a deputy commander of the Northwest Army. They could be considered in-laws. This time, Xuan Tianming had already sent out the news of her going to Yu Zhou. Presumably, the other side was already making preparations!
Feng Yu Heng's group headed west. Along the way, they were chatting and laughing. On the other hand, the Yao Manor was filled with sadness. Xu Shi took the lead in wiping away her tears. Ever since Feng Yu Heng's group left the manor, she had been crying and couldn't be comforted no matter what.
Not only was she crying, Qin Shi and the Miao Clan were also crying. While crying, Qin Shi summed up her experience: "We have never taken care of a girl before, so we don't know how to get close to her. That's why that child, Heng Yu Heng, is living like she doesn't even have a maternal family. Instead, she has to worry about us and deliberately distance herself from us. Why couldn't we have been more courageous back then? Why couldn't we have been more determined to keep her? "
The Miao Clan nodded in agreement: "That's right. It wasn't easy for the family to finally have a girl. We haven't even cherished her for a long time before she's gone. In the future, we'll have to face those brats all day long. Just thinking about it makes me anxious."
The six sons of the Miao Family stood on the side, watching and listening. Once again, they began to doubt if they were really the children of these three.
At this time, Xu Shi, who was crying the most fiercely, suddenly slammed the table and stood up: "I can't take it anymore! I have a decision! "
