The Alluring Concubine: The Eldest Miss

Chapter 173 Jincheng Chaos (3)

Feng Qiwu said with a look of "so it is": "No wonder Mr. Gao, a civil servant, can become friends with Daddy, a military general. They are the same daughter slaves. Mr. Gao dotes on Zixuan, and Daddy dotes on me. It's very good, there's nothing wrong with it haha !"

Shen Youjiayan nodded with a smile on his face, and said kindly: "It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups, so when do you and Han'er plan to get married? If there is a fight, when will it end? I have no idea. ?”

"Pfft! Cough cough..." Feng Qiwu managed not to spit it out, but was almost choked to death by a mouthful of fish ball soup. He turned his back and coughed until tears came out. Not caring about getting angry with others, he quickly patted Feng Qiwu on the back distressedly, "How is it? Are you feeling better? Would you like some water?"

"It's okay, I just choked on it." Feng Qiwu said, taking two gulps and gulps of the water cup that Shen Youliehan handed over while he was speaking, before recovering, with tears in his eyes that were still coughed up, and said sadly : "Uncle Emperor, next time you say such a scary thing, can there be an omen, I don't want to be choked to death!"

"You girl, you and Han'er have agreed to each other for life is something that both civil and military people in the court know. Marriage is a matter of course. Why are you so scared?" Although Shen Youjiayan also showed distress, his tone did not change at all. Soft, it can be seen that they have a firm attitude towards the marriage of the two.

After all, Feng Qiwu is a girl, and she couldn't help but blush when she mentioned the matter of marriage, not to mention that the person she was going to marry was still watching by her side, thinking that the person in front of her was the culprit who caused her to choke, Feng Qiwu couldn't bear it. I couldn't help feeling resentful, "You're just saying something, you start acting like a sculpture as soon as you enter the door, see what you can do, why don't you go to the sky?"

Perhaps Feng Qiwu's way of changing the subject was too lame, or what he said was too funny, in short, both Shen Youjiayan and Feng Aoxue couldn't help laughing, Feng Aoxue laughed and said: "Han'er should say something In other words, after all, getting married is not a matter of Qiwu alone. Now his elder brother is missing, and his sister-in-law has disappeared without a trace. I'm sorry, so no matter what Xiwu decides on this matter, I will support her."

"Auntie, you are the best, this person knows how to pretend to be cold, and besides, I am only 15 years old, so I don't want to marry so early!" Feng Qiwu said flatteringly, and frowned at Shen Youliehan Nose, I picked up a big piece of pigeon for Feng Aoxue, "Auntie, try this, the pigeon meat is so tender, it's delicious!"

"Okay, of course what Qiwu gave is the best one, and you can eat it too. Auntie is very good in the palace, but you, don't let yourself down." Although Feng Aoxue was still wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, she could not let her face down when she faced Feng Aoxue. When Xiwu was in Xiwu, the gentle temperament exuded from her eyebrows and eyes gave people a comfortable feeling like a spring breeze. This is the reason why Feng Qiwu met Feng Aoxue for the first time, but fell in love with this gentle elder.

The aunt and nephew looked at each other and smiled, eating happily, but Shen Youjiayan winked at Shen Youliehan for a while, bared his teeth, and finally, Shen Youliehan finally couldn't help but gave Feng Qi a hand before he lost his temper. Wu took a piece of her favorite beef head meat and said, "You don't want to marry me?"

Feng Qiwu deliberately misinterpreted the topic, and said with an innocent face: "No father, no mother, no matchmaker. The matchmaker's words are not valid, and the parents' orders are not valid. How do you get married?"

When Shen Youjiayan heard the words, he slapped his hands and said boldly: "What's so difficult about this? Nan Wangfei is a rare fair-faced and beautiful woman among the women in Beijing. She has means and prestige. I invite her to be a matchmaker. Old Nan Wang How about accompanying Liu Xiangzuo to Feng Mansion to propose marriage?"

"Propose marriage?" A trace of doubt flashed in Feng Aoxue's eyes, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Aoxue doesn't know that this girl, Qiwu, wants an imperial decree from me, telling me not to grant her a marriage, so I can't go to the Ministry of Rites to prepare for Han'er's wedding. Why don't I ask a matchmaker and What does Aoxue think if a person of high morals goes to propose a marriage, it does not violate the imperial decree, and it also shows the status of a girl in Qiwu, so that no one else can see it in person, what does Aoxue think?"

Shen Youjiayan called Feng Aoxue's boudoir name directly, which made Feng Qiwu a little strange. Hearing his words, he couldn't help being moved, but, it's really not a good time to get married, Feng Qiwu was worried about how to say so as not to hurt the old man. As for my heart, Shen Youlie said coldly: "The matter of getting married is of great importance. Madam Feiyan has been missing for a long time, but General Feng must be present anyway. Why not choose a zodiac while there is nothing going on in Beijing during this time?" On an auspicious day, make an appointment first to announce it to the world, as for the matter of getting married, it will not be too late until you find General Feng?"

"That's a good idea, let's do it like this!" Feng Qiwu jumped up with bright eyes, looked at the emperor and the queen and said, "Uncle Emperor, I think the idea of ​​the man in the iron mask just now is the most suitable idea at present, what do you think? ?”

Shen Youjiayan was silent for a while, and said slowly in Feng Qiwu's uneasy eyes: "You should be more cautious about getting married, anyway, girl Qiwu, you will be married next year, so don't worry about getting married, just use yours to make a marriage first , I will order Princess Xuannan and Liu Xiang to prepare, and then Qin Tianjian will choose an auspicious day for you to make an engagement."

The whole matter was decided quickly. After saying this, the queen and the emperor didn't give Feng Qiwu a chance to speak at all. They brought food to Feng Qiwu one after another, and asked Shen Youliehan to take him away after the meal. When Xi Wu left the palace, he was still in a daze.

"My lord, Miss, the palace is here." Hearing Han Mo's voice, Feng Qiwu came back to his senses, and looked at Shen Youliehan with unsteady eyes, "Iron-faced man, why do I feel that I have been tricked by your father and son?"

"What routine?" Shen Youliehan looked innocent, seeing that Feng Qiwu was out of shape, he hugged Feng Qiwu and got out of the carriage.

"Hey, what's the situation, is it the legendary raise high?" A teasing voice actually came from the gate of the palace. Feng Qiwu raised his head in Shen Youliehan's arms, and saw Shen Youmingyue carrying catkins Fei, Gao Zixuan and Mai Feiyang wobbled out.

Feng Qiwu patted Shen Youliehan's arm, "Put me down."

Seeing so many people around, Shen Youliehan followed the good advice and didn't make it difficult for her. Mai Meng walked up to Feng Qiwu, and looked at people from top to bottom, from the inside out, as if studying a priceless treasure. After thinking for a while, he straightened up, stroked his chin and frowned like an old pedant and said, "It's just like that, how did I hear that in King Hanjiang's carriage, there was a peerless beauty who was supposed to be all over the country and city, ostentatiously passing through the city? Did you say that the chief of a certain private life shed tears on Suzaku Terrace?"

"What the hell?" Feng Qiwu pushed away Mai Meng's furtive paws that touched her face, and looked at Gao Zixuan suspiciously, "We've only returned to Beijing for less than two hours, and there are such rumors?"

Gao Zixuan nodded helplessly, "Unfortunately, I have to tell you that although Mengmeng's words may be exaggerated, the real rumors will only be more bloody than you imagined."

Liu Xufei made up the knife in the back, "We don't know who the peerless beauty who overwhelms the country and the city is, but the princess who fainted from crying in the toilet, I don't think you need to guess, any fool will know it is you, tell me, you have only been back for two hours If not, who is offended again?"

"Who knows, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know the existence of the rumor, but you all know it spread so quickly, isn't this person too deliberate?" Feng Qiwu tugged at Shen Youliehan's sleeve and shook it "My lord, you see that if you don't take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade, I will become your shield. You have done this dishonestly, so you have to pay me compensation."

"How to pay?" Shen Youliehan took Feng Qiwu's hand and walked inside, "If you come to visit and chat, the palace welcomes you. If you come to eat and drink, I'm sorry, we've already eaten. There is nothing in the palace tonight." Plan to light a fire and cook."

Shen Youmingyue shook the fan that almost never left her hand and said in an exaggerated tone: "You are welcome, Lord, Uncle Zhou has already entertained us with delicious food and drinks. We came here to see how many times we have lived and died. We are reluctant to give you a letter. What do the two white-eyed wolves written by our friends look like."

"Look at this sad little face, is it possible that the son of Mingyue is lonely in the capital alone?" Feng Qiwu said with a smile, and didn't specifically go to see Shen Youmingyue, and shook Shen Youliehan's hand childishly Go, said in the mouth: "Speaking of it, I almost forgot. Before leaving Beijing, the old prince and princess asked me to find a concubine for the son of Mingyue. If you are looking for a wife, you might as well take a look at it together, don't let me lose my promise in front of the old prince and princess."

"No, just forget about it, miss, the old man and the concubine's memory are not that good, just forget about it, forget happily!"

When Shen Youmingyue heard the word Shizifei, it was like Monkey King being trampled on the tail by a cat. She couldn't help but froze but didn't dare to move around. She was extremely wronged.

Liu Xufei doesn't care about Shen Youmingyue, anyway, it's not easy for a woman to fall in love with him with his appearance, and several people gossiped to Feng Qiwu's side, "Qiwu, who do you want to find a wife for?" Son, there is already cold snow in the cold rain, you can't interfere with my brother without my father, could it be Han Mo and Han Feng, who are they looking at?"

"Stupid!" Liu Xufei was pushed away by Mai Meng. "Those two woods that match each other, who can they fancy, who should they ask?"

Feng Qiwu shook his head calmly, "Not yet, when I find them for them, they will naturally fall in love with it."

On the first day of August, the wind was strong at night, and Feng Qiwu didn't go in directly. He walked to Tingfeng Courtyard, and naturally turned into the pavilion where he had sat many times before. "I tell you a good news and a bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Let's hear the good news first!" Mai Meng was worthy of being the tiger girl of the general gate, and she stood in the middle and covered the mouths of Liu Xufei and Gao Zixuan, but the voice of one person's roar was no less than that of three people.

Liu Xufei and Gao Zixuan took a lot of effort to tear away the paws that almost choked them to death, each holding a pinch, saying in their mouths: "What is the good news?"

"Such a tacit understanding?" Feng Qiwu naturally ignored Shen Youmingyue who was talking with Shen Youliehan, and said calmly: "The good news is that this lady is getting engaged."

"what!"

"engagement!"

"with who?"

For the first two, the tone of surprise is understandable, but for the third one, everyone including Shen Youliehan stared at that person with "damn mentally retarded" eyes, no need to guess that this person must be Mai Meng, an expert in pit digging undoubtedly.

Feng Qiwu smiled and looked at her, "Who else do you want me to be engaged to?"

Shen Youlie's eyes swished coldly, "Who do you want her to marry?"

This time it's Mai Meng's turn to hehe, but it's a pity that she smiled sillily, the good lady smiled like a silly girl from the landlord's house, "Well, Qiwu, my lord, of course I know that you are going to be engaged, but just now we Didn’t you say that there’s another beautiful woman, if we don’t deal with this, what if people think that you, Qiwu, are overlord and force your bow?”

"For your size, you are still a young lady of the Hou family, and you have read the books into the stomachs of father and son. Is this how the overlord uses his bow?" Feng Qiwu felt embarrassed for this brainless little friend.

It was still Gao Zixuan who was calmer, and said calmly: "Ahem, my lord, Xiwu, the two of you are the ones involved in the engagement. It's other people's business to be a monster. I want to know more. Xiwu, what you said is bad." What's the message?"

"I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me!" Feng Qiwu slapped his forehead, "The bad news is that you guys are going to pay for it. Your parents are your parents, and you are you. I can make an agreement in advance. I don’t want 1000 taels of gold, your purses are going to shrink into a bolt of lightning, hahaha…”

Feng Qiwu's barbell-like laughter made Liu Xufei's scalp tingle. Although Shen Youmingyue didn't get along with Feng Qiwu as long as Liu Xufei, she was already surprised by Feng Qiwu's temperament. I got used to it, and closed the fan with a snap, "I think your good news is fake, and the money you said is the real one, right?"

"What are you talking about? What's the relationship between us? I'm about to get engaged. You shouldn't give me some gifts. They're all daughters of first-rank family members. This gift has to be accepted no matter what!"

Feng Qiwu said it as a matter of course, his eyes were like searchlights, and he looked at the few people for a long time, until Gao Zixuan couldn't bear it and said: "Okay, Qiwu, you money fanatic, it's a good thing that you are engaged to the prince, we You should tell us what you have done during this period of time. Good people disappear when they say they are missing, and they don’t send us a letter when they come back. If it weren’t for Mingyue’s son being well-informed, we still have nothing to do. Being kept in the dark, tell me, do you take us to heart?"

"That's right, I died and lived and died, leaving us here to worry about death." Mai Meng complained and sat opposite Feng Qiwu, her eyes widened.

Feng Qiwu, who was attacked by the three of them, almost ran away, and put his palms together in a gesture of begging for mercy: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay, sisters, I won't say much about the past, but I am now I really have good news to tell you, do you want to hear it or not?"

"What good news, don't you fool us again?" Liu Xufei looked at Feng Qiwu with two big eyes, full of suspicion.

Feng Qiwu looked at Shen Youliehan resentfully, "When did my reputation get so bad? Before she left, Aunt Su said that she wanted to find someone to inherit the mantle. The senior brother has something to do, and the senior sister is just a dumbass. It's a pity that Madam has no successor!"

Feng Qiwu lay on Shen Youliehan's arm and looked at Shen Youliehan sadly, as if she had no successor. Shen Youliehan looked funny, knowing her little thoughts, and did not shy away from others Zai stretched out his hand to pinch her face and said: "Madam Ruoyuan is well-known, as long as she wants to take in apprentices, many people with extraordinary talents will go there, so why should you worry about her?"

"That's right, I'm worrying for nothing. With Aunt Su's reputation, I'm afraid I won't be able to receive apprentices?" Feng Qiwu got up from Shen Youliehan's arms, sat up straight leisurely, and felt spontaneous when he saw them coming. The guard standing guard outside the pavilion asked, "Did you see Zisu? Why didn't she disappear when I came back?"

The guard hurriedly said: "Miss Zisu, Miss Zisu went directly to Suifengyuan when she came back. Commander Mo asked the servant girl to look for her when he went to Fenglaiyi Pavilion with the wind guards. She didn't seem to be feeling well, so she didn't go. .”

"I'm not feeling well, did you see a doctor?" Feng Qiwu stood up suddenly, because there was always cold rain in the palace, and Lan Xin was there, so she didn't call for a doctor. In Fenglaiyi Pavilion, if Zisu is sick, she can only go to a doctor.

But the guard shook his head, "Miss Zisu said that it would be good to take a rest, and she didn't find a doctor."

"Hey you elm heads, she really didn't look for you when she said she didn't need you. No wonder there are so many beautiful little girls in the palace and all of you are so single. You deserve to be a monk's temple!" Feng Qiwu stared bitterly. Glancing at the guard, he turned to Gao Zixuan and said, "Zixuan, you are the only one here who knows a little bit about medical skills, come and have a look with me, Zisu, who usually chatters, is actually quiet all the way this time, when she was in Zhuzhou I should have caught a cold, but it’s enough that I haven’t found it for more than ten days!”

Feng Qiwu got up and left, Shen Youliehan followed naturally but was pushed back by Feng Qiwu, "You guys join in the fun in the boudoir of the girl's house, go do your own business."

"My lord, the boudoir of the girl's house is really not suitable for us to go. Let's go to the palace. The old man wants to talk to you about a lot of things. Why don't you let me call someone before you come back, let's go!"

Shen Youmingyue said that regardless of Shen Youliehan's refusal, she directly dragged the person out.

Although Gao Zixuan is an assistant, but because of the needs of the autopsy work, she has always liked to study medical skills. It is no problem to see if there is wind and cold. Liu Xufei and Mai Meng also told the family that they would come to the palace. Because of Xiwu's relationship, they are also assured to let them come, and they all follow to Suifengyuan if they are not in a hurry to go home.

When Feng Qiwu entered the door, because it was already late, there were only two guards guarding the door, Feng Qiwu asked as he walked, "Did Zisu make any movement after she came back?"
