The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 159 159. Not Marrying

"You can't bring slaves to the academy, but bookboys can. I see that Han Jiang is serving you well in your room, so you can take him with you. As for Hehuan..."

Before he could finish his words, He Huan interrupted him, "This slave will never leave the house!"

"I didn't ask you to leave the house. What I meant was that Ayao needs a maid here. If you are willing, you can come to Ning'an Court as an errand and wait for Yunhe to come back from the break."

The second brother's suggestion is good. It would be better if she comes to the courtyard as soon as the water is over without a trace.

But He Huan was in a bit of a dilemma. Feng Er saw her displeasure and asked, "What are you worried about?"

He Huan didn't know whether to speak out her thoughts, for fear of being laughed at or being disliked by her master.

"Don't be afraid, just say what you say in my house." Feng Jinyao's words were like reassurance, making Hehuan's disturbed mind calm again, and she gritted her teeth and said.

"Third Miss, you will be married in a few months, and I think you will have to discuss marriage. I am afraid that I will have to follow you to my uncle's house by then. If...if..."

"What if it is? Don't take a nap..."

Feng Er was anxious. He had a bad temper to begin with, and hearing her talk like this was even more uncomfortable than cutting his flesh with a knife.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Feng Jinyao understood instantly, "Are you afraid that I will let you serve as my concubine?"

He Huan breathed a sigh of relief when her inner thoughts were spoken. Then her cheeks became rosy and she was too shy to look up.

With a chuckle, Feng Er burst out laughing, "Hehuan, you girl is so funny. Other girls are eager to climb into the young master's bed and become his aunt, but why don't you die to become his aunt?"

His words made the other girls in the room look a little sullen at him.

"Second Young Master, don't talk nonsense. Not all of us slaves like to climb on the bed." Xiangqiu spoke first, her tone was a little harsh, and her eyes when she looked at Feng Er were not as bright as usual.

Yunxu and Lamei simply knelt down on the ground and said to Feng Jinyao, "Don't worry, young lady, I will not betray you even if I die."

All the girls in the room were aroused by Feng Er's words. They were shocked to realize that they had made a mistake and quickly said, "Slip of the tongue, I didn't mean you, I didn't mean you."

He broke out in a cold sweat. He was not good at dealing with women after all. Seeing something was wrong, he mentioned Feng Yunhe and walked out.

"Ayao, you guys talk, you talk, I'll take Yunhe to talk to my sister-in-law."

Feng Er ran faster than anyone else, as if he was being chased by a vicious dog.

Feng Jinyao had no choice but to raise her hand to help Yun Xu and others up, and said slowly, "Don't worry, I have no intention of getting married, and you don't have to be concubines. If there is someone who likes the same hydrangea, just tell me, and I will definitely let you Marry with beauty."

She was not yet fifteen years old, so why was she always so cold-hearted and unloved by anyone? Yunxu was worried, but she didn't know what to do, so she could only do her best to serve her well.

Seeing that she was sure, Hehuan put aside her previous worries. The sisters in this house were all easy to get along with, so why wouldn't she do it?

"Thank you, miss. That slave is licking his face to serve you. I hope you don't think the slave is clumsy."

"It doesn't matter. When the time comes, you can learn more from Xiangqiu. The relationship between the second door and those in charge must be harmonious. If necessary, you can go out to do some things for me."

"This slave will only obey the young lady's instructions."

The change of masters was over in a few words, but at the same time in the Junhua Palace, the ministers were arguing over the same matter.

The Water Transport Department unexpectedly died, and Feng Hai, who was originally scheduled to be appointed, was also assassinated. I don’t know who had a hand in it, but some secrets came out. Why did the Water Transport Department offend the River God, so the person who took office and the candidate were replaced? Everyone's life is in danger, and a good job suddenly turns into a hot potato, and no one dares to pick it up rashly.

"My dear friends, how is the discussion going? Are there any candidates?"

Emperor Qi, who was sitting high above, was quite dissatisfied when he saw that they couldn't pick out the right person despite their choices. What did the imperial court usually support?

When the critical moment comes, there is no one to share the worries, which is really irritating.

As soon as he said these words, all the officials who were noisy at first booed. Seeing this scene, Emperor Qi became even more angry, "When you don't use people, you are the one who shouts happily. When it comes to using people, everyone Are you going to be silent? Am I treating you like waste?"

The sound was so loud that everyone fell to their knees in fright, shouting repeatedly, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Calm down? I want a suitable candidate!"

Many officials were kneeling, but they looked up at Duke Wei. He and Prime Minister Bai were both elders of the three dynasties, and there was no need to kneel down along with several princes who followed him to participate in politics.

I saw Duke Wei's expression was calm, and seeing the atmosphere so high, he began to speak slowly, "Your Majesty, I think the most suitable candidate is Mr. Feng. Although he was assassinated in the palace and needs to rest, it will only last a few months." Time, the busiest time for the Water Transport Department is July and August. I think Master Feng’s health was almost in good condition by then, but now we can let the governors of the thirteen cities of Zhejiang and Zhejiang take turns taking care of it. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Fenghai?

I heard that Dr. Liu, who came for diagnosis and treatment, said that his injury could be serious, and it would be possible for him to rest for as long as half a year, or as long as two or three years. Why did Duke Wei recommend him?

Before he could speak, the eldest prince beside him was unhappy.

"What Mr. Guo said, the Feng family has been in trouble one after another, and now Mr. Feng is still lying on the bed and can't get out of bed. How can we say that he is the most suitable candidate?" He turned to Emperor Qi and said, "My son, I think the two Mr. Li, the governor of Zhejiang, is more suitable. Although he is the brother-in-law of his minister, he never avoids relatives when promoting talents. He has served in both Zhejiang and Zhejiang for many years. He presumably knows a lot about local affairs. If he is to be the director of water transportation, I will definitely be able to share my father’s worries.”

The eldest prince would strongly recommend his brother-in-law to compete for this position. What he valued most was the three thousand soldiers and horses in the naval camp.

Over the years, he has not been as good as the Ninth Prince in terms of military achievements, and he has not been able to place his own people in the military department. If he wants to seek the position of prince, or even the supreme imperial power, it is useless without soldiers and horses.

Although the Ninth Prince has many elders, he is always suppressed by him. In the final analysis, isn't it a matter of military power? Wouldn't it be a great thing if we could take this opportunity to obtain the naval camp?

How could Duke Wei not know what the eldest prince was thinking, he sneered and said, "How many disasters have happened in Zhejiang and Zhejiang during the more than ten years Mr. Li has been in office? One moment, the river dam bursts, and the other moment, locusts cause trouble. Even the good Jinling City is under his jurisdiction. The pirates have caused trouble twice, has the eldest prince forgotten?"

"You..." The eldest prince couldn't refute the pain point poked by Duke Wei. After all, this brother-in-law really didn't live up to his expectations.
