Chapter 317 Come and give me gifts

Old Lady Feng, who received the imperial edict, was immersed in this sudden joy all day long, and Feng Chenyu would like to please her. She picked up some good items from her small private warehouse and sent them to Shuya Garden, saying that the old lady is now an imperial edict, and the decorations in the house must be worthy of her identity.

Before the Shen family had an accident, Chen Wanliang secretly gave Chen Yu a lot of silver. Although she obediently gave the big head to Feng Yuheng, there were still tens of thousands of taels left.

Chen Yu was willing to pay for his capital. Not only did he give away some home furnishings, he also sent 10,000 taels of silver notes to the old lady that afternoon, saying that it was a blessing.

The old lady has not liked Chen Yu very much since the accident in Fengtong County. Although she occasionally changed, she has been repeatedly recurring. Chen Yu grew up in front of her, so how could she not understand the old lady’s temperament? Whether it is good or bad depends on how much gifts are given. For this old lady, sometimes money is more important than the future of the Feng family.

Sure enough, after working hard on the day, the old lady looked at the pile of things and the silver notes in her hand, and smiled so hard that her mouth was grinning, and kept praising Shenyu's filial piety.

But at the same time, she was also looking forward to other granddaughters who could express something to her, especially Feng Yuheng. You should know that Shenyu's things were mostly left by Shen's family before, or they were brought by the Shen family for Tao, no matter how good it was, they were just folk objects. But Feng Yuheng's places were all real imperial gifts! Whether it was rewarded by the palace or sent by the Imperial Palace, which one did not throw Shenyu's things on several streets?

As a result, she waited from noon until after dinner, and Feng Yuheng didn't even show her face. Not only did Feng Yuheng not show up, but there was no movement on the other end of Fan Dai and Xiangrong. The old lady couldn't sit still and urged Madam Zhao: "You asked someone to go to the courtyards to see what are you doing?"

Madam Zhao was also very helpless. She was willing to give gifts. If you don’t give them, you could go there and go with someone. What’s more, they are all juniors. The eldest lady has money. How can the third lady and the fourth lady have anything good except for the monthly money?

But when the old lady said something, she had to stop going, so she could only send a few groups of people to inquire, but she only dared to think about Rong Fandai's side. Tong Shengxuan would never dare to approach.

Soon, everyone who went to inquire came back and the person who went to the Magnolia Courtyard said, "Aunt Han was a little unhappy. The fourth lady was waiting by her side, but she really couldn't leave. She said that she would come here to kowtow to the old lady early tomorrow."

He said to the girl who was so angry and said, "Miss I said that she has saved some money for the past six months and will also send it to the old lady to celebrate the joy of the monks and Feng Zhixi."

The old lady's face became dark as soon as she heard this, "How much money does it cost to spend on monthly silver?"

The servants turned dark and lowered their heads and stopped talking. The old lady muttered for a while, but she felt upset, so she simply waved her hand and let everyone go down.

Madam Zhao advised helplessly: "Miss Third and Miss Fourth have no mother's family to support themselves, so their hands will naturally be tighter. But old lady, think about it, this is good. Without mother's family, it means that they can only rely on the Feng family. In the future, no matter which family they marry, they will do their best to plan for the Feng family. Unlike the eldest lady, I shouldn't say anything, how much trouble did Shen cause to the mansion in the past!"

The old lady felt that she was right about the analysis, and when she mentioned the Shen family, her face became even more heavy, "They wanted to harm my grandson several times, and they must not tolerate it. Zirui is the legitimate son and the only leader of the Feng family. He is so promising now, but he has to point at him to shine on his future lintel."

"Not!" Madam Zhao echoed: "Even if Princess Kang Yi passes the door and has her and the master's children, she has half of the blood of the country after all, and it will be difficult to achieve success in the future!"

The old lady sighed, "If you want to think so, the Feng family will only have Zirui's root vein, but you have to take good care of it." At this point, she was angry again, "As a junior, I don't say that I would be happy here. I really think that I am a county lord, so I dare not take me seriously. Now I am a first-class imperial edict!"

Madam Zhao didn't say anything, but was muttering in her heart, what can I do with a first-class imperial edict? No power or power, the second lady has a real achievement.

The old lady complained so much, and on the side of Tongshengxuan, Feng Yuheng was sitting in Yao's room and talking. She asked Yao: "I plan to send Zi Rui back to Xiaozhou in the near future. Do you want to live with Zi Rui for a while?" After all, Yao married into Feng Mansion and carried it in the eighth sedan chair. Shen's concubine took his wife to a lesser extent. In addition, they were still in the northwest at the beginning, so they didn't care about this. But now Kang Yi is about to enter. After all, he is the eldest princess of Qianzhou Kingdom. This happy event must be lively. She is afraid that Yao will be sad when she is in the scene.

Yao is a smart man, so how could he not understand his daughter's thoughts? He immediately said: "I won't go. I'm already desperate about the mansion. At this time, I'm leaving, it seems like I'm deliberately hiding, and I'm thinking about it for no reason. He loves to do weddings, but now my daughter has a promising future and can make me live in my own mansion. This is the biggest joy for me. I just need to live my own life. Whether the Feng family dies or rises or declines has nothing to do with me."

Feng Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief. She was very happy that Yao could say such words. She couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "Don't worry, mom, our good days are more than these. In the future, Ah Heng will also bring his grandfather's family back, giving full filial piety to his mother and Ah Heng's love for his grandfather."

When the Yao family mentioned, Yao's tears were about to fall again. Feng Yuheng quickly changed the topic: "Mother will still have to go to Wenxuan's Mansion tomorrow. Zi Rui is going to return to Xiaozhou. Mother will ask if Aunt Lan wants to bring anything."

"Yes." Yao nodded repeatedly, "Last time, Aunt Lan said that you asked Zi Rui to say hello to her before going back, so I will take Zi Rui with you tomorrow."

Feng Yuheng came out of Yao and began to think about bringing some gifts to the imperial teacher Ye Rong. This gift should not be too heavy. The literati do not have such a strong concept of gold and silver. I am afraid that if it is not good to give it, it will make people feel vulgar.

After thinking about it, she remembered that there was a very thick stack of unused A4 printing paper on the table where the printer was placed. Such standard and quality paper could not be made in this era. It is always inconvenient to use rice paper at ordinary times, not to mention that if you want to copy something when you go out, you can't carry the four treasures of the study with you.

She quickly walked back to the yard, said to Wangchuan Huangquan, and entered the medicine room. After closing the door, she went directly into the space, and found a few pencils and a few erasers in the drawer of her lounge.

These things are indispensable for copying and recording in the pharmacy. Before Zirui went to the academy, she taught the child to write hard pens. Feng Yuheng thought about it and simply packed all the printing papers, took out a few pencils and erasers, and found a few lozenges for solubilizing the throat at the counter outside, and then the space was released.

She divided the things into two parts, one large and one small, one large and one small, and the one large to Ye Rong prepare gifts, and the small portions were left for Zi Rui. Then she left the medicine room and returned to the bedside, she called the class to come out and ordered: "The day after tomorrow, you can go to Xiaozhou and send Zi Rui back. Be more careful on the way. The Shen family is now a dog with a broken family, so it is hard to guarantee that they will not be ambushed and bite people halfway."

Ban Zuo nodded, "Don't worry, master."

After leaving the class, she could really feel at ease. She went to talk to Zirui for a while, and explained the paper and pen to him clearly before going back to the room to rest.

After the old lady announced the marriage between Feng Jinyuan and Kang Yi, the Feng Mansion entered the full preparation stage. Under the leadership of the butler He Zhong, the whole mansion began to work hard. Kang Yi was arranged in the Tianxiang Courtyard nearest to Songyuan, and the Jinfu Courtyard she had lived in before was dominated by the old lady, and gave it to Ru Jia alone. She promised Xiangrong and Fandai that they would be independent of the courtyard when they turned twelve next year and would no longer be crowded with the aunts.

Feng Jinyuan was also busy these days. With the visit of the prince and princess of the ancient Shu Kingdom, Gumo envoys also entered the capital. Unlike the previous three countries, Gumo who sent Dashun to Dashun on the western border was just diplomatic officials like in previous years, not royal relatives, which made people feel relieved.

As the prime minister of the dynasty, Feng Jinyuan was the busiest every year when envoys from the four countries arrived in the capital at the same time. The old lady knew about this, so she didn't go too much to ask him what he was busy with. What's more, she was also busy and busy receiving gifts.

Once the Feng family wanted to marry a princess from a foreign country into the mansion as the mistress, the families of officials from all over the world began to move. No matter what, Feng Jinyuan was a first-class official, and those who were waiting behind him could line up from Feng's mansion to the city gate. He was worried that he would not have the opportunity to give gifts in normal times, but now he took advantage of the wedding, so he naturally had to show off such a good opportunity.

As the left prime minister, Feng Jinyuan is usually thrifty and strict in front of others. People know that gifts cannot be given to Feng Jinyuan. Fortunately, the old lady has won a new first-class imperial edict, so they all carried the good things to Shuya Garden one by one.

The old lady has always been a polite person, and there is no point in recommending the good things she gets out. So for several days, she smiled from morning to night to face the guests. Even though she was so tired that her back was sore, she was still happy.

However, she also had a clear account. The gifts given by each family and what gifts were given were recorded by the accountant. After that, she naturally had to re-measure it according to the magnitude of the gift. Of course, these favors were also to be said to Feng Jinyuan so that he could deal with the previous dynasty in the future.

The old lady's gift was collected for five days, and it was not stopped until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Generally speaking, the year was released after fifteenth, and the joy in the capital was reduced a little, but the Feng family could not reduce the joy in half.

The old lady was really happy recently, so she thought that the children of Feng’s family would not be shabby when they passed by Kang Yi. She had ordered them to cut clothes before. Now, she thought about it and took this opportunity to add another set of jewellery to each of them!

She told several children about this idea on the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month. Except for Feng Yuheng, there were no surprises, and the other children were very happy.

After all, whether Shen was in charge of the middle gifts or the old lady in charge of the middle gifts in this mansion, they were more and more likely to be able to make jewelry, let alone bring their heads. Even this New Year, the old lady only made new clothes for them, and didn't even mention the jewelry. Unexpectedly, Feng Jinyuan even asked them to get a feast for a wedding, and several people quickly stood up to thank the old lady for thanking her.

The old lady gave them a blank look and thought to herself that these little unconsciences had nothing to say to her except Shenyu. Yaorong was even more shabby and disgusting and sent fifty taels of silver over, which was slapped her in the face.

However, she was in a very good mood recently and didn't care much about it. She just told Madam Zhao to go to the account and say that she would pay the money first, and then send someone to make it overnight, saying that she would have to finish all four sets of faces before the 28th day of the first lunar month.
