Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 421 432. Ashes

What if we can't live apart?

Wouldn’t it harm A Yao for the rest of her life?

Feng Hai was not willing to pursue this marriage, and was just thinking about how to refuse, when his wife said immediately.

"Mr. Ge is joking. The youngest in the family is not yet married. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for my sister to talk about marriage first. However, my Feng family is very fond of Mingyue. I wonder what Mr. Ge thinks? You also see my son, Feng Jinlin. Let's get through it."

It was obviously a way for Wang Ding to come, but who knew that Feng Hai and his wife would lead him around to Mingyue's house.

Even if Mr. Xu Ge has a sharp tongue, he can only deal with it when it comes to his granddaughter.

In the end, everyone fled without even taking a few sips of tea.

Seeing him leaving in a hurry, Mrs. Feng became anxious. It seemed that the waiter's marriage was in doubt.

I was so anxious that I didn't eat or sleep well for the next few days.

Although there is no final conclusion about the marriage between the two parties, the matter of getting the wealthy businessmen to donate money was done quickly.

It has been more than ten generations since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. Except for the occasional unrest on the border, most of the time the country has enjoyed peace and prosperity.

Over the past few hundred years, there have naturally been many merchants who were wealthy among the people.

After the imperial court issued this edict, the Chi family and Min family in Jinling City, the Feng family and Hua family in Liangzhou in the northwest, and wealthy businessmen elsewhere responded.

For them, sometimes the money is so much that they don’t know how to spend it, but spending this time will not only improve the businessman’s status in the Jin Dynasty, but also restore the businessman’s reputation as a treacherous person. It can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone.

When the plaques awarded by the imperial court were sent out one by one, the flowing water of money, grain, cloth, and flour were all rushing towards the capital.

Mr. Xu Ge was responsible for handling this matter in the east capital city, while Feng Jinxu was appointed to handle the matter in the southwest.

When it comes time to hire people in the court, those courtiers who used to make the most noise stop talking.

There is no other way. Even if we know that Feng Jinxu and Wen Zhonghe are Weng's son-in-law, we can only send him to the southwest.

It happened that there was another important thing to do when going to the southwest this time, and that was to transport the things prepared by the Ministry of Industry to build the dam, so Emperor Qi made an unprecedented move and hired someone who no one had thought of.

That is the Sixth Prince.

Everyone in the court was shocked.

The eldest prince and the ninth prince have always fought against each other in the court, but now there is an additional sixth prince.

Although he had done some errands with the eldest prince before, most of them were errands, which was different from this trip to the southwest for disaster relief.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if this is done properly, the status of the Sixth Prince and even Concubine Liu Xian in the harem will rise accordingly.

How not to make people jealous?

However, the eldest prince came forward as a guarantee and acted like a brother with the sixth prince, leaving the others speechless.

Feng Jinxu had no choice but to obey the order, but a faint worry arose in his heart.

Immediately after the next court, the news will be sent to Prince Ding of the Southwest so that he can make preparations in advance.

One day just before they were packing to leave, the Feng family received something from the southwest.

When he opened it, he saw that it was a green weasel jar. Feng Jinxu immediately felt that something was wrong, and Zhang Xin's heart dropped when he saw it.

This is the urn of Albizia Julibrissin.

There is also a jade token that Hehuan wears close to her body, which is something that she never leaves.

Fu Yi also has one, but the pattern on it is different.

Although Feng Jinxu found it difficult to say anything, he still told Fu Yi about it before setting out on the road.

His sister died to save A Yao, so she is naturally the benefactor of the Feng family.

All they can do is return the relics to Fu Yi and listen to his appeal.

When Fu Yi tremblingly took over the jar of his sister's ashes, his tears fell drop by drop on the green weasel porcelain, which looked so crystal clear, but full of sadness.

"I should never have agreed to her staying in the first place."

These were the only words Fu Yi left, and then he turned around and left with the jar in his arms.

That was the sister he loved since childhood. She was still smiling and wanton before she left, but now there are only a few handfuls of ashes left.

No one could accept it otherwise.

Feng Jinxu did not blame him too much, but let him deal with He Huan's funeral affairs.

He would understand if he couldn't go to the southwest because he was too sad.

After Wen heard the bad news, she was silent for a long time.

This flower-like woman has not enjoyed a few days of peace since she entered the Feng family. It is a pity.

The orderer sent three hundred taels of silver to Hehuan for funeral expenses. Her father wept silently, but her stepmother was secretly so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

The dead girl is finally prosperous this time. A small life will exchange for the old couple's lifelong wealth.

If you can't live any longer in the future, if you go to Feng's house and cry twice with the good reputation of this savior, I'm afraid you will get more.

So, nothing was deducted, and Acacia was indeed given a grand burial.

On the first night before Feng Jinxu was preparing to leave, Fu Yi came back dressed in black.

The beard had obviously been shaved recently, and traces of blue and white could be seen, and his eyes were red and bloodshot. He must have been busy arranging the funeral arrangements for Hehuan in the past few days, and his body had lost a lot of weight, but his mood was very calm.

"Sir, I'll go to the southwest with you."

"Fu Yi, you don't have to go."

Fu Yi shook his head and said with firm eyes.

"I've been around adults to protect you since I was a teenager, and I've gotten used to it over the years. Hehuan has a poor life. He didn't have a mother to love him when he was a child, and he didn't marry into a good family when he grew up. It's all because of my incompetence as a brother.

I couldn't let her live a good life. So I can only hope that she will have a good pregnancy in her next life, become a young lady in a wealthy family, and live a worry-free life."

As he spoke, his eyes turned slightly red again.

It seemed that he remembered a lot of things that happened between him and Hehuan when they were young, and he actually started talking endlessly in front of Feng Jinxu.

Feng Jinxu did not interrupt him and remained a quiet listener.

It wasn't until late at night that Fu Yi realized what he was doing.

"Do you feel better?"

"much better."

Feng Jinxu was not good at comforting others, so she could only listen to him quietly.

The two brothers and sisters grew up together, and their relationship was naturally deep. However, although he and A Yao were also brothers and sisters, they were not as close as Fu Yi and He Huan.

For a moment, he felt that he had overlooked too much.

I used to be my wife's child, but now I am my younger brother and sister, and I felt a little guilty.

After everything is over, he hopes to be kind to Feng Jinlin and Feng Jinyao, and to be an older brother who loves his younger siblings as much as Fu Yi does.

Early in the morning on the second day, Feng Jinxu and the Sixth Prince set out towards the southwest with Emperor Qi's expectations and the things they had raised from wealthy merchants.

Mother Wen and her daughter pray for their husbands every day at home.
