The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 682 To Cultivate Influence

Feng Yao was truly moved, she knew that Su Junqing had a kind heart.And he has no desires or desires for himself, but he can treat him wholeheartedly.But for a man who cares about himself, to take the initiative to inquire about the life and death of another man, this is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Su Junqing held Feng Yao's hand, gently rubbed the back of Feng Yao's hand with his thumb, and said with some regret: "However, we only have the ability to inquire about the news, and there are no killers or dead men to use, so there is no way to escort him. return."

Feng Yao shook his head and smiled gratefully: "This is already very good. Junqing, thank you."

Su Junqing shook her head and smiled, her eyes slightly bitter and helpless.Then let go of Feng Yao, took out a note from his arms and handed it to Feng Yao: "You don't have to thank me, there's still this."

Feng Yao hurriedly took it and opened it, and the note inside was even shorter, only four words: All right, don't come!

There was no signature or signature before and after, but Feng Yao recognized at a glance that it was Mo Li's handwriting.Feng Yao knows better that it is easy to bring a message, but it is even more difficult to bring such a note back, and there is also great danger.

"Don't worry now? I didn't lie to you or coax you." Seeing that Feng Yao's hand holding the note was trembling, Su Junqing took the note from her hand, picked up a flint on the table and lit it.

It wasn't until the little note turned into ashes that Su Junqing stood up and slapped the wine jar away from the table.After taking a deep sniff, he praised: "Good wine."

Feng Yao choked on the smell of fireworks from the burnt note, and came back to his senses.Looking at the wine jar in Su Junqing's hand, he said with a smile: "This is good wine? It's only five years old. I still have a jar of 20-year-old Nuuhong in my cellar. Do you want to try it?"

"20 years? How old are you. Don't lie to me." Su Junqing glanced at Feng Yao, and asked seriously.

Feng Yao tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly sighed and said: "It's me, in a flash, I'm almost 20 years old. The wine was brewed by my mother himself using Yidi's wine recipe before she gave birth to me. Then it's buried in the ground. I haven't even tasted it yet."

"Then wait until all this subsides, and you open a few altars of good wine, and I will have a good talk with you."

When Su Junqing said "everything is calm", Feng Yao understood; when he said "you", Feng Yao also understood.But not only lamented that Su Junqing was able to let go like this.

While he was in a daze, footsteps came from the stairs again, accompanied by the smell of vegetables.

As soon as Feng Yao turned his head, he saw Xiao Si and Nan Nan going upstairs one after the other, each holding a red lacquer tray with two small dishes on it.It's just an ordinary dish, but it looks good and smells good.

Feng Yao couldn't help but praised: "Xiao Si, you have some skills."

Xiaosi blushed slightly, glanced at Nannan and said, "Actually, this was taught by Nannan."

Nannan nodded vigorously, looking very proud and pretentious.

Seeing the two of them like this, Su Junqing smiled from the side: "Xiaosi is very kind to my daughter. My daughter is very good at cooking, but she always burns her hands accidentally. So when Xiaosi knew about it, she followed her to learn how to cook. , Nannan doesn’t have to do it herself anymore. After coming and going, Nannan becomes a diner, and Xiaosi becomes a master cook, and he can cook even ordinary ingredients in a decent way.”

Xiao Si blushed when he praised these words.Feng Yao listened to Su Junqing's words, and understood that Su Junqing also quite agrees with Xiao Si's brother-in-law.

Feng Yao said: "I said just now, why did my daughter beg me so hard to agree to their marriage. I dare to say that you, an older brother, have already recognized this brother-in-law. If I stop you, you will be suspected of beating a mandarin duck." Now, I don’t want to be this villain. But the matchmaker and the appointment are indispensable. When I go back, I’ll hire someone to take care of Xiao Si’s matchmaker, and the gifts for the appointment will not be missing.”

When Feng Yao said this, Su Junqing smiled and did not shirk.Nannan was very happy, she was not as shy as her daughter's family at all, and clapped her hands.Only Xiao Si scratched the back of his head, as if he had something to say.

Feng Yao then asked: "Xiao Si, what do you have to say?"

Xiaosi looked at her daughter, took a deep breath and made preparations, and then said: "The last time Xiaosi got engaged, it was the princess who took the trouble to make arrangements and prepared so many betrothal gifts. This time... this time Xiaosi [-] Don't let the princess handle it anymore."

After speaking, he turned to Su Junqing and said, "Mr. Su, Xiao Si will sincerely treat my daughter well. But please don't dislike Xiao Si's small dowry, the money Xiao Si has saved over the years is really not much."

"Haha, we're going to be a family, so why would I mind?" Su Junqing shook her head with a smile, took her daughter's hand, placed it solemnly in Xiao Si's hand, and nodded towards the two of them.

Feng Yao covered his mouth with a smile and said: "You don't mind it, it seems like my master has deducted him and gave him less money. If that's the case, then Xiao Si will be the big housekeeper of my Princess Mansion from now on."

Although the housekeeper of the princess mansion is considered a slave, how can there be a lowly slave around the royal family?Leaving aside the fact that the monthly salary can be as high as that of a seventh-rank magistrate, it is not a small amount for those high-ranking officials and ministers who come to the princess mansion to work in the princess' mansion every day.Xiao Si is now the chief steward of the Princess Mansion, and that is a real vacancy.

What's more, Xiao Si was personally selected by Fengyao back then, and he trusted him very much, saying that it may not be possible to become a great success in the future, but as long as Feng Yao has great achievements, Xiao Si will also have a good destiny to ascend to heaven.

Nannan naturally doesn't understand these things, she just hears that she is happy to be with Xiaosi.

Over the years, Xiao Si has learned the importance and sophistication of the world, so he knelt down and thanked Feng Yao.

Feng Yao quickly helped Xiaosi up with both hands and said: "You will be Junqing's brother-in-law in the future, but Junqing, don't think that the position I give you is small. If it is a few years later, you should be more prudent and read more Shu, find a suitable opportunity and I will send you a county magistrate or governor."

What Feng Yao said was not a lie, it was a real plan for Xiao Si.What's more, Fengyao also has the intention of cultivating influence. For a loyal person like Xiao Si, it is also a way out to be an official in an important place.

Su Junqing also nodded, understanding Feng Yao's thoughts.Looking at the food and wine on the table again, he said, "Don't keep talking, let's eat."

Feng Yao just sat down, and pulled Nannan aside again, telling Xiaosi not to be cautious, just sit down together and have dinner together.

What's more, with the news of Mo Li, Feng Yao's heart has been opened up a lot, and the meal was extraordinarily sweet.
