MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 21 21. Big Brother

Feng Jinxu looked serious and was not joking at all.

Feng Jinlin trembled in his heart. He even thought of the scene of himself being skinned and cramped. It was really terrible.

“Dang Duan Duan! However, I am not necessarily surrounded by people from Su Cheng. I also have close friends like Yin Canwen. His knowledge is even praised by academicians. If you don’t believe me, ask your fourth uncle.”

 Bai Chaohe nodded immediately when his name was suddenly called. This Yin Canwen was indeed well-known in Yunqi Academy. If his family hadn't been so poor and he was working part-time while studying, his knowledge would have been even higher.

“He is indeed a rare talent, and I’m afraid he’ll be in the top three.”

Such a high evaluation reminded Feng Jinyao of something. If he could make good use of it, the Wen family might be in for a disaster.

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper.

“It’s rare that someone doesn’t dislike you for being such a dandy. Learn from him, you know?”

“I know.” Feng Er replied weakly.

To tell the truth, their eldest brother is even more terrifying than their father. Especially when he has a straight face, he looks exactly like his grandfather when he was young, so serious that it makes people feel guilty.

While the man was giving a lesson, he saw a man dressed as a guard coming in a hurry.

After whispering a few words in Feng Jinxu's ear, he looked calm and immediately gave instructions.

“Both of you, please restrain yourself, Ayao. Keep an eye on the waiter and don’t allow him to drink anymore. After the matter here is over, we will **** him back to the house. I will personally take him back to the academy tomorrow.”

"good."

Then he clenched his fist and saluted his fourth uncle, "Then Yunhe enters the academy, so I will trouble my fourth uncle more."

"Don't worry, that kid is very talented. When he enters the academy, I'm afraid the academicians will like him more than me."

"That's very good. Then I won't accompany my uncle. I still have things to do, so I need to take the first step."

 After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Feng Er finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Feng Jinyao stared at their departing figures for a long time.

 “What’s wrong with you? What are you looking at?”

"nothing."

Feng Jinyao felt strange. She seemed to have seen the guard somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

“Fourth uncle, are you planning to go to Shoukangyuan? I heard that several aunts are also there. I guess after a lot of excitement, now is the time for family members to talk about themselves.”

"Almost, your fourth aunt sent someone to tell you. What, are you two coming with me? Or are you taking advantage of the last day to have fun with your friends?"

Bai Chaohe's favorite person to tease was Feng Jinlin. Seeing him shriveled up, he couldn't be happier.

Feng Jinyao knew that although his fourth uncle's heart was not above the government and the public, he had the temperament of a master who loved preaching.

It is no wonder that at such a young age, he became the youngest bachelor of Yunqi Academy and was deeply loved by the dean.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next academician of Yunqi Academy will definitely be this fourth uncle.

"Hmph, the fourth uncle is not loyal. He obviously accepted some paintings from me by Xu Da, a celebrity from the former dynasty. He agreed to keep my secret, but he turned around and told the elder brother, look at his face just now, if it weren't for you, Now, I'm afraid I might even eat it."

 He patted his chest with lingering fear, it really scared him to death.

The folding fan hit Feng Er **** the head, "You kid, you've been skipping school for a few months and you still miss Shu. Now there are not even four months left before spring, and you still don't have the heart to go back to the academy. I think you really want to fail. "Okay, second brother, hurry back to the academy tomorrow. Be careful if you really annoy your father and eldest brother, and you won't be able to eat and walk around. What's more, Yunhe is also going to the academy, and you are the second uncle." I don’t want to set an example for him. I just walk cats and play with dogs all day long, and I’m not afraid that my nephew will imitate him. He is the most promising child in our family. If you lead him wrong, be careful that your father will come to settle the score with you!"

 With a long sigh, his happy days were finally over.

 That’s it, just burn the midnight oil and work for a few months, and you’ll be fine if you get through it.

A few people took a shortcut and soon arrived at the gate of Shoukangyuan.

Before I even entered the door, I heard laughter and laughter coming from inside.

“Grandma is in such a good mood. My grandson hasn’t even come in yet, and I can already hear your laughter.”

Feng Jinlin and others filed in, and sure enough, there were many people sitting lively inside.

 “Greetings to the mother, greetings to the ladies.”

 “Hail my grandmother, my wife, my wife, my wife.”

At the head of the table were Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Zheng Guogong, and the wife of the Hussar General's Mansion. Below them sat the eldest aunt Lin, the fourth aunt Princess Wenyi, Bai Siruo, Xu Mingyue and several young ladies who had only met once before.

“Okay, everything is okay, come in quickly, it’s very cold outside, Cuigu, give Fourth Master and A-Yao some milk tea, I remember this is their favorite drink.”

"yes."

After the two of them were arranged, Mrs. Bai waved to Feng Jinlin.

“You little monkey is here, come on, let everyone see you.”

He is not young anymore, he will be eighteen after the New Year. He has been suppressed by his son-in-law Feng Hai before, saying that he has no fame and does not talk about his children's personal affairs.

Hence, even the marriage has not been decided.

The people sitting in the hall now are all the ladies who have girls to be married at home or in-laws. Naturally, they want Wang Po to sell melons and praise her well.

 There were also unmarried women present, and two foreign men came in one after another, which might damage their reputation.

So Aunt Lin found an excuse and said she wanted to take them around to see the plum blossoms that had just been transplanted a few days ago.

 After saying that, he took the ladies who had not left the cabinet and left Shoukangyuan.

Feng Jinyao sat next to Bai Siruo and asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about? You are so happy?"

"You don't know, right? I heard that after the Lantern Festival, envoys from various countries will come to pay tribute. This is a grand event that only happens once every three years. I only saw them at a night banquet with my mother last time. Those people are really Different from the people of the Jin Dynasty, some are blond and blue-eyed, some are red-haired and blue-eyed, and some are even completely black. This is the first time I have seen them."

Feng Jinyao was not surprised. After she got married in her previous life, she also saw a grand tribute event from a foreign vassal, but she just leaned against the window of Changchun Tower.

 “Oh? Then why are you so happy?”

Bai Siruo lowered his voice, "The people responsible for paying tribute this time are the duchess's legitimate son and grandson. They both serve in the Ministry of Rites. From that tone, it seems that they are going to a higher level."

 The Ministry of Rites has always been responsible for the sacrifices of the Jin Dynasty, external vassal affairs, imperial examination arrangements and other matters. Although it does not have any real power on the surface, it is responsible for major matters. Once it is done well, His Majesty will be happy and it will be especially easy to get promoted.

 In the end, it was Zheng Guogong who had the foresight and arranged for his descendants to follow the path of Qingyun.
