The news that the Sixth Prince, Xuan Tianfeng, wanted to open a school in Ji 'an quickly spread. Of course, this was also because Feng Yu Heng deliberately arranged for the news to spread so quickly. This time, the news didn't just spread in Ji 'an County, nor did it spread to Yu Province. She even spread it to the entire Yuntian Prefecture. The benefit of this kind of publicity was that a prince opening a school was unprecedented in Dashun history. Moreover, the Sixth Prince had always been known for his knowledge and helped Dashun build the Four Repositories. To be able to become a disciple of Xuan Tianfeng was an honor for the family! There were even some wealthy families who thought that even if the Sixth Prince didn't know anything, as long as he could interact with the princes and become familiar with them, it would be a great honor. It would be very dignified.
As a result, the entire Yuntian Prefecture was in an uproar. Regardless of whether the school had been built or not, people all brought their children to Ji 'an County. There were even scholars who came because of the fame. In a short time, the only two inns in Ji 'an County were full. The innkeeper was so happy that he secretly burned incense in the middle of the night, rejoicing that he didn't give up on the great business prospects of Ji' an County for the sake of a few hundred taels of land deeds. Not only did this county have a princess, but there were also princes. The future prospects were limitless. This Ji 'an County was going to soar to the heavens!
Ji 'an County was small. How could two inns be enough to stay in? As a result, the inns in Yu Province were also booked by these people. Everyone was talking about the Sixth Prince wanting to open a school. They were also very interested in the new appearance of Ji' an County. There were even wealthy families who began to wander around the streets during the day, looking for business opportunities to see if they could join in.
In regards to this, Feng Yu Heng was very happy and very welcoming. Don't look at how small Ji An Prefecture was. If the surrounding areas that had not been developed were also included, it would not be as large as Yu Zhou, but it would be about half the size. In the past, there were very few people in the county, and everyone lived in a concentrated area. The wasteland in the periphery was not cultivated and lived there. She had gone to take a look. The wasteland was not suitable for cultivation, but it was not a problem to build houses and shops. There were more and more people who wanted to live in Ji 'an County. The price of housing in the county soared, allowing her to see endless business opportunities.
Feng Yu Heng never denied that she was greedy for money. No one would not be tempted by money. She always felt that nothing was reliable. The most reliable thing was to save more money. That way, no matter what time it was, she would have money in her hands, she could have a good life. But now, other than her own comfortable life, the war in the South occupied her the most.
Sometimes, just thinking about it made her feel unbalanced! Feng Yu Heng often sighed. The mess that the Eighth Prince had stirred up had to be pacified by Xuan Tianming. Was it up to him? However, if it was not pacified, the South would fall into chaos. Gu Shu and the small desert countries were not fools. Once the Dashun side did not send troops to suppress it, it was very likely that they would take advantage of the situation. When that time came, the war would develop out of control. The people who would suffer would be the common people.
If the city center was not enough, they would expand the city center and bring in the surrounding areas. One ring would expand to the second ring, the second ring would expand to the third ring, the third ring would expand to the fourth ring. Who knew how many rings it would expand to in the beginning … …
Feng Yu Heng currently had this plan. She told Qian Fengshou about this matter, and Qian Fengshou was very much in agreement. He also agreed to do his best to help. With Qian Fengshou's help, she did not need to spend too much effort on this side. In any case, Ji 'an County was right next to Yu Province. If this side developed, Yu Province would also prosper. The two of them even discussed that they would repair the small road that connected Yu Province and Ji 'an County. This would make it easier for people to travel between the two places. After all, Ji 'an County had limited space. There were still many people who needed to live in Yu Province. This could be considered a win-win situation.
With Feng Yu Heng here, Qian Fengshou felt more confident. Moreover, there was a god like the Sixth Prince. That was a true prince! As an official who had been sent out, Qian Fengshou rarely interacted with important figures like princes. He was still very excited. In addition, he was clear about the relationship between Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming. His legitimate son, Qian Li, was a deputy general under Xuan Tianming. The two of them could be considered family. He and Feng Yu Heng took care of the logistics work here. They could also be of help to his son.
The Sixth Prince, Xuan Tianfeng, turned a blind eye to Feng Yu Heng using his name to develop Ji 'an County. He did not have much business sense. He could not see the knack behind this, nor did he want to see it. He only knew that everything that Feng Yu Heng did seemed to be full of vigor. Moreover, she was making money to prepare for military supplies. She did not put it into her own pocket. This raised the realm by more than one level. This was his first time living in this sort of environment. Watching the school being built day by day, Xuan Tianfeng was filled with hope for Ji 'an County.
While everything on Feng Yu Heng's side was proceeding in full swing, Lu Yan passed away from illness in the capital in early February. The day that Lu Yan passed away happened to be the day that Xuan Tianming left the capital. The Lu Family feared that they would break a taboo and did not dare announce the death. It was only two days later that they announced the news of Lu Yan's death.
After three days of condolence, the entire Lu manor was immersed in grief. Of the people in the family, the madam's Ge Family was the most heartbroken. The Lu Family had three daughters. Only Lu Yan was her own. Originally, they had great hopes for this daughter; however, who knew that these hopes would harm Lu Yan, causing her to pass away at such a young age.
Lu Yao had died, and the Lu Family had gone bankrupt. Now that Lu Yan had passed away, Lu Song no longer had any thoughts. He wanted to resign and return to his hometown. But no matter how the Lu Family thought about it, they felt that they could not accept this. They had lost two daughters. It had to be said that the first, Lu Yao, was something that the Lu Family could only blame themselves for. But this time, what about Lu Yan?
The Lu Family knew that this was a murder, but it actually involved the Empress, who had always stood aloof from worldly affairs. This left them a little confused. But regardless of what happened, they definitely could not keep thinking about the Eighth Prince's side. But if they wanted to rely on the Ninth Prince, they could not find an opportunity. Lu Song thought about it. He still had a daughter that was like a goddess. Although she had a hidden illness, given the Lu Family's current situation, he had no choice but to put in a bit of effort on this daughter.
After everything in Ji 'an Prefecture was on the right track, Feng Yu Heng finally calmed down and wrote a letter to Xuan Tianming, explaining the situation on her side. She also emphasized the arrival of the Sixth Prince. From the eagle that Xuan Tian Ge had sent earlier, she knew that Xuan Tianming had already set out with his army and was heading South. Now, he was on his way; however, she did not know if this letter would reach him.
She asked Ban Zou: "The army is on the move. Can an eagle deliver a letter accurately? She is a little unconvinced about ancient communications. " At this time, it was already considered nighttime in the ancient era. She sat next to the pond in the new imperial daughter's manor and fed the fish while chatting with Ban Zou. She threw the fish food in her hand into the pond, filling the small fish until their bellies were round.
Ban Zou looked at the fish food in her hand with great disdain then replied: "Our eagles have all undergone special training. They are not as unreliable as you think. They are much better than people, and they are not something that normal carrier pigeons can compare to."
"Oh, so it's like that!" Feng Yu Heng calmed down a little. Although she did not know what the process of training eagles was, since Ban Zou said it like this, there would definitely be no problems. She no longer felt conflicted about whether or not the letter could reach him. Instead, she began to sigh emotionally about the residence that the Teng family had left behind: "It must be said that the people of the Teng family really know how to enjoy life! This residence is even more imposing than our imperial daughter's manor in the capital. Fortunately, Xiang Rong and His Highness the Sixth Prince are both here. Otherwise, I really would feel a little empty living here alone. Even with them here, the majority of the courtyard is still empty. Just thinking about it makes me feel that it's a waste. "
"Even if it's a waste, you can't bring more people into the manor." Ban Zou said seriously: "It's fine if it's third young miss Feng and His Highness the Sixth Prince, but don't think about bringing in outsiders. There is a government office to handle matters in the prefecture. This place is considered a private residence. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "That's natural, that's natural. At worst, I'll just bring in a few more servants. With more people moving around in the manor, it won't feel so empty. But I fear that I won't be able to stay here for long! "She sighed," At most, in another two months, I will be heading South. " She felt a little disappointed because her birthday would be coming in another two months. She still remembered that three years ago, when Lady Zhou had come to the Feng manor to deliver the betrothal gifts, she had grabbed her hand and said, "Endure for another three years." Now that the three years were coming to an end, she no longer needed to endure the Feng manor, but it was likely that she would not be able to wait until the promised wedding.
It was not that she hated getting married. To Feng Yu Heng, 15 years old was not the age to get married, but she was not a 15-year-old soul. She had already developed feelings for Xuan Tianming. She really hoped that she could quickly get married and have a proper status. The two of them would travel hand in hand, and it would be much more convenient than in the past. Unfortunately, this was not something that could be accomplished just because she wanted to. There were always too many disturbances in life. Once the battle in the South began, who knew how many years it would drag on.
Her mood was a little lonely. Ban Zou could also see this. Although he did not know what she was thinking, he tactfully did not disturb her. He just stood to the side and watched Feng Yu Heng feed the fish. On the other side, Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were also standing there. They watched as the fish were so full that they did not want to eat any more. Finally, Ban Zou could not bear to watch any longer and said: "Can you stop feeding them?" Then, before Feng Yu Heng could reply, he suddenly added: "His Highness the sixth prince has come."
"Hm?" Feng Yu Heng turned her head. Sure enough, she saw Xuan Tianfeng standing in front of her small courtyard in a set of blue robes. That place had originally been a grape trellis. Right now, it was not the season yet, so the grapes had not yet grown. However, the Southwest's climate was good, so there were quite a few green leaves. "Sixth Brother." She took the initiative to greet him, "Why are you standing there? Come and sit! " She said sit, but where was there a place to sit? She was sitting on the stone railing next to the pond.
Xuan Tianfeng was not as particular as the children of the imperial family. Feng Yu Heng allowed him to come and sit, so he calmly walked over and sat across from Feng Yu Heng, also on the stone railing. Wang Chuan went to brew hot tea for the two. Huang Quan also carried a few small plates of pastries and placed them between the two. Seeing Xuan Tianfeng like this, it did not seem like he was going to leave after saying a few words. Ban Zou silently returned to his hiding spot, leaving only Wang Chuan and Huang Quan to attend to him. However, this secret guard was secretly cursing the sixth prince in his heart, scolding the sixth prince countless times …
