Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 44 44. Attending the banquet

In one sentence, her future was completely cut off.

Compared with playing with boards, how can a aunt who has lost her love have a foothold in the backyard?

Lin Langai wanted to say something else sadly, but Feng Jinxu blocked her away indifferently.

"If you say one more thing, go to Zhuangzi by yourself."

Covering her mouth, tears fell down her cheeks. This time she was reaping the consequences.

The results of the treatment reached Madam Feng's ears, and she appreciated her daughter-in-law even more.

As a mistress, the most basic principle is to use kindness and power at the same time. You should not be too harsh on your servants to make them feel resentful, but you should also not allow your servants to act boldly and wantonly.

But when faced with a spoiled concubine and a young son, the best way is to let the head of the family make the decision on his own. Otherwise, it will be too trivial to treat the concubine, and it will only tie up his hands and feet.

Mr. Wen is really awesome!

"Why didn't I realize her ability before?"

The words were spoken to Mama Bai. Now they were the only two people in the house, and Mama Bai's confidants were guarding the outside, so the two of them spoke with less worries.

"My eldest grandma was always ill before, so I didn't see much of my wife, so I understood her less."

Mrs. Feng nodded, this makes sense.

"It seems that Ayao is right. Her skills are not inferior to those of me back then."

Although Mrs. Feng does not have the trouble of spoiling a concubine, running such a large family inevitably involves many troubles.

Somehow, she always felt that Wen's sudden change had something to do with her daughter, as well as Yunhe. The intimacy with her aunt was now many times stronger than before, and the relationship between Xu'er and Wen had also eased a lot.

Maybe there really is her handiwork here.

"Mother Bai, do you feel that Ayao is a little different from the past?"

I couldn't tell what was different, but I just felt that my whole person was different. Mother Bai hugged her a lamb blanket and said happily.

"It's different. You see, the young lady cares so much about the family now. You usually let her take charge of the house, but you have declined several times. I think the third young lady is also going to be married in time, so the madam should prepare early and give the young lady

I find the right person for me."

Mother Bai warned.

Yes, the daughter who would nest in her arms and clamor for sweets is now at an age where she is about to get married, and Mrs. Feng is both sighing and happy in her heart.

After talking to Mama Bai for a while, Mrs. Feng felt sleepy again.

As night fell, the bustle of the Feng family returned to calm again.

Early on the third day, there was a lot of excitement in front of the Duke Wei's Mansion.

Many hawkers who wanted to take advantage of the bustle to set up stalls and earn some hard-earned money got up early in the morning to set up stalls nearby.

Unexpectedly, before the stall could stand up, soldiers from Yingtian Mansion came to drive people away.

Not to mention their ferocious looks, the weapons in their hands also shone with a cold light.

"Come on, come on, we have distinguished guests today. You dealers walking around the streets are like dogs, trying to hide wherever there are people."

What he said was not polite at all, and many people dared not speak out in anger, so they had no choice but to leave in despair.

"Some time ago, the old lady of the Bai family celebrated her birthday. Not only did she set up a stall in front of the door for us, but she also gave us fruit money. I didn't expect Duke Wei Guo to be so cruel. Bah, he must not be a good official!"

The hot-tempered man secretly spoke to his old wife, which frightened the woman so much that she turned pale and quickly went up to cover her husband's mouth.

"You are going to die. How dare you talk like that. Come on, let's move to another place. If you offend the noble man, let alone set up a stall, your life may not be safe."

After saying that, she took her husband and left in a hurry.

Not long after, it became quiet in front of the Duke Wei's Mansion. There was a soldier guarding the door every three steps, and the entire street was surrounded by water.

The young pawn who had just arrived asked the leader with doubts on his face, "Brother, who is coming today? Why did Lord Fu Yin send so many brothers to guard here?"

"You are such a dull boy. There must be someone coming from the palace. The daughter of Duke Wei is the most favored concubine in the dynasty. How can she be associated with a simple person? You have opened your eyes for me and are attentive.

Don't be afraid, just don't offend me."

"Okay, thank you for the reminder."

The little pawn nodded desperately, but he was thinking in his heart, after all, it was the Tianhuang nobles, and the Eastern Capital, where the powerful and powerful gathered, was full of big shots who could not be offended.

"Later, go and get two jugs of good wine for your brothers. In such a cold weather, a few sips will help drive away the cold during shift change. By the way, there are also two ducks from the Shen family, which we returned last time.

Before you even tasted it, you jackals had eaten it until all the bones were left! This time, I have to eat enough first before talking."

After that, he took some broken silver from the bag and handed it to the little pawn, who happily stuffed the money into his arms.

Feng Jinyao grabbed Shi Chen and went out. This time, in addition to cloud catkins and hydrangeas, she also brought wintersweet.

She was just promoted from the rank of second-class female envoy. She works properly and behaves calmly.

The carriage went all the way north, and in about an hour of burning incense, it arrived at Qing'an Street where Duke Wei's residence was located.

In the Duke Wei's Mansion, the imperial plaque is shining with golden light at the moment, and the three red lacquered doors are all open. You can see the magnificence before entering the mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was only two blocks away from Duke Wei's Mansion, so the Bai Siruo sisters went out late but were ahead of Feng Jinyao.

When Feng Jinyao got off the carriage, Bai Siruo and Bai Sihan were already standing at the door of the house, planning to go in.

"cousin."

Bai Siruo looked back and saw Feng Jinyao walking over wearing a large white rabbit fur cloak.

She has a jade hairpin on her head and a beautiful face. Although her beauty is natural, she looks a little more elegant and casual.

Look at Bai Siruo again, she dresses simply.

The sky-blue coat and skirt, paired with a pair of Dongzhu earrings and a hairpin decorated with Dongzhu, are not as expensive as the ones she usually wears in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they are a bit more beautiful and well-behaved.

Looking at each other, they both saw each other's "intention", and the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

Bai Sihan next to her frowned. When she first saw Bai Siruo, she felt strange that she was dressed so casually even though she was going to a banquet. She also thought she didn't want to go, so she did it on purpose.

Unexpectedly, another Feng Jinyao was dressed like this. Bai Sihan was a little confused. Did the two of them dress so plainly on purpose?

Why is this?

"Cousin Feng is here, why are you dressed so simply today? Could it be that you have a disagreement with Sister Wei, and therefore you have a tendency to treat the Wei family with indifference?"

She is still at the door of the house, so provocative. She is really a good daughter of Mr. Shen.

The whole family is so evil that they would like to climb up by stepping on other people's bones.

After hearing what she said, Feng Jinyao was not angry at all. She smiled and said, "My cousin, I'm overthinking it. I don't like to dress up, and I can't compare to my sister's natural beauty, so I don't show my face. My sister is like this.

The clothes she wears are indeed very refined. Looking at her from a distance, she would have thought she was a fairy descending to earth."
