The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 84 84. Burying the altar

I was already tired of this marriage, but now I see her acting like this and I'm even more angry, and she speaks mercilessly.

"I'm not your father or mother. You'd better ask for a marriage for this kind of thing. As a daughter who hasn't left the government, what can I help you with?"

　　I was too lazy to say anything more to her, so I turned around and left.

 “Eldest sister…”

Bai Sihan was very upset in her heart. She was obviously the daughter of the Bai family, so why could she fly on a branch and turn into a phoenix, but she was suppressed by her eldest aunt and couldn't even leave the house.

In a few days, it will be New Year’s Eve. My father also said last time that after the New Year, their family will return to Qiongzhou again.

The disdain you felt when you came has now turned into a hook, tying you to Dongdu City bit by bit. How can you be willing to go back!

The handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a ball, just like her thoughts, there was no one she could turn to in the huge Eastern Capital City?

How can the Wei family visit again after what happened last time?

Suddenly, an idea occurred to me. It was the cousin from the Feng family who seemed to be much easier to talk to. She would have to go to the Feng family if she had the chance!

When the news of the engagement between the Bai family and Prince Kang reached Feng Jinyao’s ears, she and her second brother Feng Jinlin were burying a dew jar under the plum tree in Ning’an Courtyard.

After the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily for several days. Some of the snow was so heavy that the plum branches could not even lift their heads.

The dew is just the snow on the plum blossoms. When it falls from the sky, it carries the fragrance of plum blossoms, so it is very precious.

 Bury it under the roots of a tree and absorb some of the earth's air. It will be most delicious when you come out next spring to make tea.

Feng Jinlin wore a cool riding outfit, which made her look particularly energetic.

The academy had a holiday two days ago and closed the gate. He brought Yin Canwen back and placed him in his courtyard. Usually the two of them discussed articles and poems. Today, after having some free time, he came to talk to Feng Jinyao. Unexpectedly, I found myself doing hard work.

While digging the hole, he explained to Feng Jinyao seriously.

“This dew will have to wait until I’m in high school before it comes out. Then I’ll make tea and pair it with the peach blossom cake you made. That will be a good taste in the world.”

 After saying this, she couldn't help but smack her lips, which made the girls around Feng Jinyao smile lightly.

Xiangqiu is a person who speaks openly. She joked to Feng Jinlin, "Second Master is so awesome. He knows he will go to high school even before taking the exam."

“Look, when I get to high school, I want you to boil water and serve tea to congratulate me!”

"This is simple. If the second master can go to high school, let alone boil water and serve tea, it will be no problem for the slaves to cook hundreds of different kinds of food!"

Xiangqiu’s cooking skills were superb, but she didn’t cook when she was free. Feng Jinlin had eaten it a few times before and couldn’t forget it. When she heard what she said, she was so happy that she almost knocked over the jar in her hand.

 “It’s a deal!”

 “Be careful with my jar!” Feng Jinyao was really troubled by Feng Er’s unfounded confidence.

I was afraid that he would follow the same path as in his previous life, so I had to remind him again, "The ancients said that when someone is full of losses, Qian will benefit. The second brother should be more cautious. Don't boast that Haikou will only look ugly if you get slapped in the face."

After hearing this, Yun Xu and others secretly laughed and pursed their lips, but Feng Jinlin was not angry at all.

He looked at his sister's increasingly innocent look with pleasure and said, "Second brother has never had a slap in the face since he was born. You little girl, think about what gifts to give first. We have agreed, I will give you ordinary objects." But no, it has to be something you’ve never seen or heard of before!”

Feng Jinyao lamented, "Second brother, this requirement is too high. My sister doesn't know whether to wish you high school or hope you fail."

“Bah, bah, bah, touch the wood, why did you fail? If you really fail, when my father and eldest brother come to trouble me, I will definitely use you as a shield!”

As everyone was saying this in a lively manner, they saw the girl from her mother’s yard walking in and saying that she had something urgent to ask everyone to come over. Feng Jinyao was a little surprised. She looked at Feng Jinlin and asked quietly, "Are you in trouble again?"

 “It’s a lesson from heaven and earth. I’ve been very good these past few days and haven’t even left the house!”

That's strange. After handing the jar to Xiangqiu and others, Feng Jinlin stood up and wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and went to Mrs. Feng's yard with Feng Jinyao.

 Lifting the curtain and going in, he saw Mrs. Feng and sister-in-law Wen talking happily.

"What's wrong? Mother is so happy." Feng Jinlin spoke first.

Seeing her son and daughter come in together, Mrs. Feng, who had just recovered from her illness, smiled happily. "The Bai family sent news, saying that Siruo is engaged to the grandson of Prince Kang's house. This is a great event. I am discussing with your sister-in-law. Send Order some congratulatory gifts."

“Engagement! Cousin of the Bai family?”

Feng Jinlin was a little surprised. The girl got engaged so quickly. It was really beyond his expectation.

"Yes, speaking of it, she was a little anxious to decide on the marriage, but according to people close to her sister-in-law, both parties have already liked each other, so it is not too rushed."

Feng Jinyao was a little anxious after hearing this. The relationship between her and her husband in the previous life was not harmonious at all. It was just the words of the elders that they had always liked each other.

She must find time to ask. If Bai Siruo is not satisfied with the marriage, she will have to disturb her even if she wants to.

 Therefore, the person sitting next to him didn’t say anything. On the contrary, Mr. Wen next to him had been in charge of the house these days, and had also checked the accounts of the warehouse, so he knew it well.

He took out a prepared gift list from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Feng. She said in a sweet and calm voice, "Look, mother, I am in charge of this list. Is it appropriate?"

Mrs. Feng was a little surprised when she saw her acting like this. Wen Shi smiled and explained, "When I was sorting out the warehouse list, I thought that the Bai family's cousin might be old enough to get engaged. By then our family Naturally, I also want to congratulate you, so I drew up this list privately, hoping that my mother would not blame me."

"How can you blame me? It's a good thing that you think ahead, and it's also your ability!"

I took the gift list and looked at it from beginning to end. The more I read, the more satisfied I became.

　　The housekeeping duties were entrusted to her during these days, and she was done in an orderly manner, and no one under her had any complaints. She admired this grandma from the bottom of her heart.

 Hence, she was particularly tolerant of Mr. Wen.

"The list is pretty good. Just prepare it according to this and send it over tomorrow. Don't delay."

"yes."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jinyao volunteered to send it off herself. Mrs. Feng thought that her daughter might have a secret message with Siruo, so she agreed.

A few people chatted casually for a few words and then dispersed.

Feng Jinlin was worried about those jars of dew, so naturally he followed her back to Ning'an Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chi Ling running over and swooping into Feng Jinyao's arms. She lowered her head and stroked the bright hair, feeling pampered.

"Poor, let me see if the injury is better?"
