When Feng Qinglang returned home from the guard, he was very relieved to see his children.
His wife came out to greet him, brought hot water for him, and a bowl of white fungus soup, then smiled and told him about the three children.
Oh, the eldest behaves pretty well. This child is about the same age as the child of my sister. My sister has passed away so long..."
Speaking of this, Feng Qinglang looked a little embarrassed.
His wife knew about the circumstance of his elder sister’s death.
"I always felt that my sister-in-law wouldn’t be that kind of person.”
Feng Qinglang agreed with these words.
He muttered softly."my sister was such a good person back then, and she was so in love with that person. She wouldn’t ruin her own reputation for such a person. It's a pity that our family has declined since my sister's incident. She was wronged, and I couldn't do anything it even if I wanted to investigate for her. I just pity the child, and let's say, we should go see him too. It's Dad..."
How much Dad loved my sister back then, after the incident, he was so angry with her.
Because of this, after the incident, the old man no longer cared about the affairs of Houye fu. As for the child, he dares not even mention it.
"Qinglang, I heard recently... that child seems to be a gifted person. It's just that he was left to fend for himself in Jiaochi Yuan. So far, there is only one servant to serve."
Feng Qinglang was silent.
Since the fall of their family, there have been many hardships they have endured.
There are people in the world who are constantly provoking and embarrassing them.
With that child living in Jiaochi Yuan, I am afraid it is worse than them.
"Alas, the family now thinks that my sister is a stigma, and many people get angry when they mention it..." Even if he has the heart, he is powerless.
Zhen shi understood this, so they didn't talk about it anymore.
“By the way, does the old man still go for a walk every morning? ”
“Yes, he brought back a wild rabbit yesterday morning. I think he was very happy. ”
“That's good. "Feng Qinglang looked at the sky. At this hour, Dad should be back.
While he was thinking about Old Man Feng's return, outside the manor, Old Man Feng was staring at a little boy not far away in a daze.
This child looks like his short-lived girl. Therefore, when he saw this little child walking towards him calmly, he was dumbfounded, and his whole person was immersed in the thoughts of the past.
Until, the little child came to him, raised his head, and looked at him strongly.
It was obviously just a child's face, but those eyes that were too calm made him startled.
"Why did you find me!” Old Man Feng said with a displeased tone. Xiao Qi, not far away, clenched his fists. It's really not worth it for the Young Master, everyone is rejecting him, he is obviously such a smart person.
"I'm here to discuss business with you." The child said in a cold and alienated tone, and the frightened Old Man Feng narrowed his eyes. "You? Talk about business?"
“Yes, to talk about cooperation."
"Oh!"
Hearing this voice, Murong Xiude felt relieved that he didn't mean to refuse him outright. As long as he was willing to listen, it means that he can also negotiate.
"Send a Feng family member to the Houye Mansion to visit me once or twice."
Old Man Feng sneered, "Why?" However, there was appreciation in his squinted eyes. This child can do this at a young age. What will he develop into over time?
"Fifteen years from now, your visit today will be rewarded one hundred and tenfold."
"What do you think?" Old Man Feng was really shocked, "Is it possible…. do you think you can still get the spot as heir?"
Murong Xiude smiled gracefully. At this moment, Old Man Feng seemed to see the dead girl. Back then, when she smiled confidently, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, and he was only proud at that time. But now looking at the same smile as his daughter, he has the illusion of right and wrong...
"Yes."
He thought it would take a lot of words, but to Murong Xiude's surprise, in a few short sentences, the old man agreed.
Looking at the Old Man Feng deeply, Murong Xiude bent his waist and said softly, "Thank you..."
I don't know what happened, at this moment, the Old Man Feng's nose was sore.
He waved his hand, turned, and walked away.
Looking at the old man who was walking faster and faster, Murong Xiude's clenched fist slowly loosened.
Maternal grandfather was not as cold as he thought.
The wind was blowing, and when the old man Feng returned home, The child’s wise and childlike eyes were still visible in front of him.
He closed his eyes tightly, trying to get rid of the gaze of those eyes, but he couldn't shake it off.
"Qinglang."
Feng Qinglang hurried out.
"Father, what's the matter with you?"
“Pick out some gifts, go to the Houye's mansion, and greet...that child."
Feng Qinglang was taken aback. Today he was thinking about his own children and the child left by his sister. He never mentioned it, but now his father thought of him.
“Father, when you were out today did something happen?"
Old Man Feng looked at the tall man in front of him, his heart was sore, and he reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Today, that child came to me. I'm very glad that your sister... has such an outstanding child."
Feng Qinglang still wanted to ask more questions, but the old man kept his hands behind his back and only ordered, "You will find out when you go and have a look."
Feng Qinglang, was the deputy captain of the Jing Cheng Guard Battalion, although only a small guard deputy, but he has a sense of the world. , and vision, etc., is one of the better ones among the Feng family's children. Moreover, in this important place in the capital, the duty of guarding the battalion is also considered a real power. Therefore, when he went, he represented the Feng family, and he actually cared about that child very much.
After realizing this, Feng Fuying was even more curious, what did the child say to the old man.
So much so that the old man's prejudice for so many years was suddenly put aside, and he, the most promising son so far, was asked to visit him and strengthen his standing.
Concubine Mei was drinking heart-nourishing tea when she saw Ruyi hurriedly coming from outside.
"Madame, over at Jiaochi Yuan, someone came to visit him this morning."
"What?"
Concubine Mei suddenly stood up, "Really? " , the one from the General's Mansion, the one who is the deputy military guard in the city."
Concubine Mei's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her thoughts were a little distant.
After hearing this, Mama Zhou, the wet nurse on the side, raised her eyebrows.
"Jiaochi Yuan, that place is really the most taboo and untouchable place for Houye. But..."
She hesitated, looking at Concubine Mei a little confused.
"However, that place is the place that Houye cares about the most."
