The Reborn Noble Daughter Chapter 44

Chapter 44 44. Attending a banquet

 One sentence completely ended her future.

 Compared to playing with the boards, there is no place for an aunt who has lost her favor in the backyard.

Lin Langai was about to say something else, but Feng Jinxu blocked her indifferently.

 “If you want to say one more thing, go to Zhuangzi by yourself.”

Covering her mouth, tears fell down. This time she suffered the consequences.

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

 As a mother, it is the most basic principle 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 a serious matter that is not taken lightly, but the hands and feet will be tied up.

Wen Shi 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 had less worries about talking.

“My eldest grandma has always been ill before, so if I don't see her much, I understand 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 being a concubine, running such a large family inevitably involves a lot of 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.

 Perhaps there is indeed her handiwork here.

“Mama Bai, do you feel that Ayao is a little different from the past?”

I can't say what's different, but I just feel that my whole person is different. Mother Bai said happily while holding a lamb blanket for her.

"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 to give the young lady I find the right person for me."

Mama Bai reminded her.

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

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

 As night falls, the bustle of the Feng family returns to calm again.

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

Many vendors who wanted to take advantage of the bustle to set up stalls to earn some hard money got up early in the morning to prepare to set up stalls nearby.

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

 Every one of them looked fierce, and the weapons in their hands also shone with a cold light.

“Come on, hurry up, there are distinguished guests here today. You traders who walk around the streets are like dogs, trying to hide wherever there are people.”

The words were 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 to be so cruel. Bah, he must not be a good official!”

The hot-tempered man had a private conversation with 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 speak like this. Come on, let's move to another place. If we offend the nobleman, let alone set up a stall, our lives 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 **** who had just arrived asked the leader with doubts on his face, "Brother, who is coming today? Why did Master Fu Yin send so many brothers to guard here?"

"You are such a dull boy. There must be someone coming from the palace. Duke Wei's daughter is the most favored concubine in the dynasty. Can she be a simple person? You opened my eyes for me, and you are diligent and diligent. Don't be afraid, just don't offend me.”

 “Okay, thank you for the reminder.”

The little **** nodded desperately, but thinking in his heart, after all, Tianhuang nobles, Dongdu, where the powerful are gathered, is full of big shots who cannot 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 at the end of the shift. By the way, there are also two ducks from the Shen family, which we returned last time. Before you even tasted it, you jackals ate it until all the bones were left! This time, I have to eat enough first."

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

Feng Jinyao walked out of the door at Shichen. This time, in addition to cloud catkins and hydrangea, she also brought wintersweet with her.

 Having just been promoted from the second-class female envoy, she does things properly and is calm.

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

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

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

By the time 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.

 Looking at Bai Siruo again, she is dressed simply.

The sky-blue coat and skirt, paired with a pair of dong bead earrings and a hairpin embellished with dong beads, are not as expensive as 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 "intentions", and the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

Beside her, Bai Sihan 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 thought she was not willing to go, so she did it on purpose.

Unexpectedly, Feng Jinyao was dressed like this. Bai Sihan was a little confused. Did they 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, so you are treating the Wei family with indifference?"

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

The whole family is a bad-hearted person, eager 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 is overthinking. 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. But 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."
