Chapter 3: 3 Wen family
Chapter 3 3. The Wen family
Feng Jinyao shook her head, "I doubt everyone in this courtyard except Mama Bai."
Mrs. Feng was silent for a while and carefully recalled the recent events. There was nothing suspicious.
Took out three red porcelain bottles from the scalp oil box, which contained pills. He first took out one and asked the mother to mix it with water and drink it, and hid the rest close to her body.
Oddly enough, after taking this medicine, my throat, which had been burning and itching, immediately felt cool and felt much better.
This medicine is good. Its not bitter when you take it, but it feels a bit refreshing.
"It's so good. I heard that the Ren family's medicine will be good after one dose, and the root will be cut off after three doses. My mother will definitely get better."
"Um."
It will be fine, everything will be fine.
What are you going to do?
The mother just needs to take good care of her health, and leave the rest to her daughter.
Looking at her daughter's firm eyes, Mrs. Feng felt for the first time that she had grown up and was no longer the coquettish little daughter she used to be. She could also protect her family from the wind and rain.
So he nodded happily.
"Mother Bai, please go and make arrangements. She has a poisonous eye. If you pay more attention, you will definitely find something fishy."
Well, dont worry, mother.
After finishing speaking, Amber also fetched hot water. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Feng raising her head to drink medicine and wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Bring over some of the candied fruits from last time. Mother's medicine is bitter, so if she has some sweet ones, she'll be fine."
"yes."
The mother and daughter pretended that nothing happened, and they actually put oil on their hair. Amber took the empty bowl and left.
Feng Jinyao stared at her leaving figure, her eyes a little more probing.
Amber is the first-class maid in her mother's room, and she is also in charge of the decoction. It would be true if she really had a hand in it.
Its just that Ive never heard of any quarrel between her mother and her. If its not about her own affairs, its possible that she was bribed or threatened by someone.
It seems that if you check it from here, you may be able to follow the clues.
After chatting with my mother for a while, I helped her lie down. Maybe there was a soothing ingredient in the medicine, but after a while, I fell asleep peacefully.
Standing in front of her mother's bed, Feng Jinyao turned her head and looked outside the house. The winter sun was clearly shining brightly, but she felt no warmth at all.
The storm was about to come, and she had to brace herself up, so she turned and left the main room.
Not long after walking out of her mother's yard, she bumped into the girl Xiangqiu.
Happy Miss, someone came from the front yard to report that Miss Wen wants to see you.
Why is she here?
I heard that Im here to return the jade pendant that the lady lost.
Its still the same excuse.
Miss Wen's name is Yuwei. She is the daughter of the younger brother of Wen Jingsong, the Minister of Civil Affairs. She was sent to the Eastern Capital with her brother a few years ago. It is obvious that she wants to get married.
In her last life, she was a smiling tiger. When she was still useful, she would call her cousins very affectionately, but after the Feng family lost power, her expression became vicious.
Now that she had just entered the door, everyone was already making a fuss about her getting the jade pendant and coming to return it. Wasn't it just to force her to accept this kindness?
In the future, I will take this opportunity to keep getting close to her. After becoming a "sister", I will pave the way for my cousin Wen Mengsheng.
When she thought of the words "Wen Mengsheng", the hatred in Feng Jinyao's eyes became more intense, and her whole body became violent. Xiangqiu has never seen her young lady look so ferocious. Or is she possessed by an evil spirit?
At a glance, I saw that she had calmed down again, just like the noble lady she had been in the past, gentle and generous, and courteous in her advances and retreats.
Frowning and shaking a few times, could it be that I saw it wrong?
Before she could resolve her doubts, Feng Jinyao gave instructions in a low voice.
"Miss Wen, please go sit down in the Moon Pavilion. I will be here immediately."
Tayue Pavilion?
Xiangqiu thought she heard wrongly, but after the young lady finished her instructions, she headed towards Ning'an Courtyard in the opposite direction.
"Ms. Wen must have offended my young lady, right? It's such a cold day to lure people to Stepping Moon Pavilion... It's so cool, you can bear it."
Turn around and go to the front yard and do as instructed.
Wen Yuwei, who is in the front yard, is standing on the corridor of the second door. Her eyes are not squinting, her posture is upright, her face is delicate and has a bit of the gentle charm of a Jiangnan woman, and even her smile is exceptionally decent and generous.
When people outside see her, no one will praise her, she looks like a lady.
Ever since she came to Dongdu a few years ago, she begged her uncle to find a nun in the palace who had retired and returned home to teach her the rules.
Otherwise, at the age of more than ten, she came to this place where dignitaries gathered, how could she not be criticized for her inappropriate behavior?
Every frown, every smile, every step and every word spoken, is all done according to the rules.
She practiced hard at home for more than a year before she achieved this result. Then she caught the eye of Miss Wei at the banquet. After following her for many years, she was integrated into this noble circle.
Nowadays, no one mentions her past. To the outside world, she always regards herself as the legitimate daughter of the Wen family.
As if the current minister of the Ministry of Personnel is her biological father.
Its a pity that these things are acceptable for deceiving people outside, but its not good enough to deceive Xiangqiu, who has been serving in the circle of powerful people since he was a child.
Before Mrs. Feng got sick, banquets were often held at her home, and the people she came and went with were either rich or noble, including princes and princesses, whom she met several times.
At this moment, looking at the pretentious Miss Wen, she really complied with the allusion: imitate the trick in the east.
Having this thought in her heart, she still looked honest on her face. After bowing to Wen Yuwei and saluting, she spoke slowly.
"Miss Wen has been waiting for a long time. My lady is serving soup and medicine for Madam. She has no time to spare at the moment. I asked my servant to send Miss Wen to the Moon Pavilion to rest first. When the lady is finished serving, she will pass by naturally."
We are all sisters, why should we be so polite? Just tell Sister Feng to take good care of her.
The words were full of intimacy. If Xiangqiu hadn't seen the young lady's attitude towards her, she would have thought that she had a good relationship with the young lady.
The Feng family's Tayue Pavilion is built on a lotus pond with wind on all sides. When the summer heat comes, this is the coolest place.
But now that it is cold, the surface of the pond has long been covered with thin ice, and the water lilies inside have become silent.
In this cold month of winter, unless they are going to do winter fishing, the servants of the Feng family will not easily come here.
As soon as she entered the Moon Pavilion, Wen Yuwei frowned a little, feeling secretly annoyed that the Feng family really didn't know how to entertain guests, and the servants didn't have the eyesight to see either.
If she hadn't had a one-sided relationship with this Miss Feng before, and knew that she was a Bodhisattva who always smiled no matter who she met, she would have doubted whether this arrangement was intentional.
Xiangqiu arranged for someone to bring a charcoal brazier. The silver charcoal in the basin burned just right, and the temperature of the Moon Pavilion also rose a bit.
Xia Lu, the girl next to Wen Yuwei, is dissatisfied. Is this really intentional?
So he said something rude.
"Miss, what do you mean by the Feng family? Do you want to show the expression of the Wen family? Who in the entire Dongdu would come to this lotus pond to entertain guests in winter?"
