"What do you know? This thing is called a compass. " Luo Tan said, "It is different from those that are used in the military camp which can only be used in general. This can be used very accurately. It is something that came from the Eastern Sea and it is said that it is only used in the fleet. Older Brother Ling brought ten back and said that he wanted the craftsmen to make more for the army. It was not easy for me to get one, it is fine if you do not want it. "
Shen Miao quickly closed the box, "Many thanks."
Luo Tan's lips twitched, "I feel that Biao Youngest Sister do not lack anything and Prince Rui also sent such a big betrothal gift so there is no lack. Sending gold and silver jewellery or whatnot would not be comparable to Prince Rui's and I would only be asking for humiliation if I were to send it. It is better to send something more practical. Take this compass as one is unfamiliar with the Great Liang and if one were to get lost one day, perhaps it would be of great use. "
Shen Miao smiled, "That is very reasonable. This is more special than gold and silver jewellery."
Luo Tan proudly looked at Feng An Ning, "Eldest Young Lady Feng, what did you send? Take it out for us to take a look and broaden our horizons. If it is some gold and silver jewellery then forget it as it is not interesting."
Feng An Ning glared at her and said unconvinced, "What is a compass? Our Feng family does not have anything so why would we send such tacky things."
She opened her box and took out a small bottle from it and said, "There are three Yuan Guiyuan Pills inside. Do you know about the Yuan Guiyuan Pill? It is something that the medical scholars of the previous dynasty made to extend one's life and there is no market for it." She placed the bottle together with the box into Shen Miao's hands and said in disgust, "Your character is not likable and there are people chasing after you in Ming Qi, much less in the Great Liang. If there is any unexpected mishap, just take one Yuan Guiyuan Pill and it will save your life." She then added, "But one think that a scourge will live for a thousand years and you will live for a long time."
Shen Miao smiled gently, "Many thanks." Feng An Ning's words were awkward but her intentions were good. Shen Miao smiled at the preciousness of the Yuan Guiyuan Pill. Fu Xiu Yi once used one Yuan Guiyuan Pill to bribe an advisor that he wanted to rope in. One pill was worth a talent and one could see its value. Feng An Ning took out three pills at one go. It was really generous.
When Feng An Ning heard it, her eyes turned red and said, "After this parting, one do not know if one would be able to meet again in this lifetime. You do not have any friends in Ming Qi and since I know you, naturally one cannot let you lose face. One cannot not take out the dowry that was given …" As she spoke, she choked up and said, "It is not that I cannot bear to part with you, but I feel that after giving you such a big gift, if you are not able to add to my dowry for my marriage, it is not worthwhile …"
Shen Miao did not know whether to laugh or cry and said, "If you are to get married, I will always get someone to send your dowry back and will also write to you from time to time. I will not let you send it for nothing."
Feng An Ning then felt slightly better.
Shen Miao suddenly thought of something and took out a letter from her sleeves and said to Feng An Ning, "Now there is a letter. After today's matter, read this letter and then let your Eldest Brother read it."
Luo Tan and Feng An Ning were surprised at the same time. Luo Tan giggled, "Could it be that Youngest Biao Sister feels sorry for Eldest Brother Feng and did not agree to Eldest Brother Feng's marriage proposal, so she specially wrote a letter to express her apologies?" Finishing, she shook her head, "But why let An Ning read it?"
"Do not bother about this." Shen Miao said, "If there is any trouble in the future, you can come to the Shen mansion to look for my Eldest Brother. My Eldest Brother will definitely help." Shen Miao remembered that in the previous lifetime, the Feng family's ending was not good. Feng An Ning married a person with a human face but a beast's heart, and at the end she died at a young age. Now that she was reborn, she and Feng An Ning were after all friends, thus she could only write down all the things that she could remind the Feng family in the letter. If this letter was taken out by Feng An Ning, one fear that Master Feng would think that Feng An Ning was messing around, but it was different when Feng Zi Xian took it out. Feng Zi Xian had after all entered officialdom and Master Feng believed in Feng Zi Xian's talent, so he would treat this matter seriously.
