The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 421 421. Ashes

 What if we can't live without each other?

 Wouldn’t it harm A Yao for the rest of his life?

Feng Hai was not happy to ask for this marriage, and was just thinking about how to refuse, when his wife said immediately.

"Mr. Ge is joking. The youngest in the family is not yet married. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for my sister to talk about marriage first. However, my Feng family is very fond of Mingyue. I wonder what Mr. Ge thinks? You also see my son Feng Jinlin. Let's get through it."

　　Obviously I was going to give Wang Ding a way, but who knew that Fenghai and his wife would take him around to his house, Mingyuetou.

Even if Mr. Xu Ge has a good tongue, he can only deal with it when it comes to his granddaughter.

In the end, people fled without even taking a few sips of tea.

Looking at his figure leaving in a hurry, Mrs. Feng became anxious. It seemed that the waiter's marriage was in doubt.

 I was so anxious that I didn’t eat or sleep well for the next few days.

Although there is no final conclusion about the marriage between the two parties, the matter of getting the wealthy businessmen to donate money can be done quickly.

It has been more than ten generations since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. Except for the occasional unrest on the border, most of the time the country has been peaceful and the people have lived well.

 Over the past few hundred years, there have naturally been many merchants who were wealthy among the people.

After the imperial court issued this edict, the Chi family and the Min family in Jinling City, the Feng family and the Hua family in Liangzhou in the northwest, and wealthy businessmen elsewhere responded.

 For them, sometimes the money is so much that they don’t know how to spend it. However, spending this time will not only improve the businessman’s status in the Jin Dynasty, but also restore the businessman’s reputation as a treacherous person. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes with one stone.

 When the plaques awarded by the imperial court were sent out piece by piece, the flowing water of money, grain, cloth, and flour were all rushing towards the capital.

Xu Ge Lao was responsible for handling this matter in the east capital city, while Feng Jinxu was appointed to handle the matter in the southwest.

 When it comes time to hire people in the court, those courtiers who used to make the most noise stop speaking.

 There is no other way. Even if we know that Feng Jinxu and Wen Zhonghe are Weng's son-in-law, we can only send him to the southwest.

It just so happened that there was another important thing to do when going to the southwest this time, and that was to transport the things prepared by the Ministry of Works to build the dam. Therefore, Emperor Qi made an unprecedented move and hired someone who no one had thought of.

 That is the Sixth Prince.

 Everyone in the court was shocked.

 Always, the eldest prince and the ninth prince have fought against each other in the court, but now there is an additional sixth prince.

Although he had done some errands with the eldest prince before, most of them were errands, which was different from this trip to the southwest for disaster relief.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if this is done successfully, the status of the Sixth Prince and even Concubine Liu Xian in the harem will rise accordingly.

 How to avoid making people jealous?

On the other hand, the eldest prince came forward as a guarantee and acted like a brother with the sixth prince, leaving the others speechless.

Feng Jinxu had no choice but to obey the order, but a faint worry arose in his heart.

 After the next court, the news should be sent to Prince Nannan Ding immediately so that he can make preparations in advance.

 One day before they were packing to leave, the Feng family received something from the southwest.

 When he opened it, he saw that it was a green weasel jar. Feng Jinxu immediately felt that something was wrong, and Zhang Xin's heart dropped when he saw it.

 This is the urn of Albizia Julibrissin.

There is also a jade plaque that Hehuan wears close to her body. It is something that she never leaves.

 Fu Yi also has one, but the pattern on it is different.

Although Feng Jinxu found it difficult to talk about it, he still told Fu Yi about it before setting off on the road.

 His sister died to save A Yao, so she is naturally the benefactor of the Feng family.

 All they can do is return the relics to Fu Yi and listen to his appeal.

When Fu Yi tremblingly took over the jar of his sister's ashes, his tears fell drop by drop on the green weasel porcelain, which looked so crystal clear, but full of sadness. “I should never have agreed to her staying in the first place.”

These words were the only words Fu Yi left, and then he turned around and left with the jar in his arms.

That was the sister he loved since childhood. She was still smiling and wanton before she left, but now there are only a few handfuls of ashes left.

 No one would be able to accept it otherwise.

Feng Jinxu did not blame him too much, but let him deal with Hehuan's funeral affairs.

He would understand if he couldn't go to the southwest because he was too sad.

Wenshi was silent for a long time after hearing the bad news.

It is a pity that this flower-like woman has not enjoyed a few days of peace since she entered the Feng family.

The order sent three hundred taels of silver to Hehuan for funeral expenses. Her father wept silently, but her stepmother was secretly so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

The dead girl is finally prosperous this time. A small life will exchange for the old couple's lifelong wealth.

If you can't survive in the future, if you go to Feng's house and cry twice with the good reputation of this savior, I'm afraid you will get more.

Hence, I didn’t skimp on anything, and I was indeed given a grand funeral by Hehuan Fengguang.

The first night before Feng Jinxu was preparing to set off, Fu Yi came back dressed in black.

The beard has obviously been shaved recently. There are blue and white marks on it, and his eyes are red and bloodshot. He must have been busy arranging funeral arrangements for Hehuan in the past few days, and his body has lost a lot of weight, but his mood is very calm.

“Sir, I will come down and go to the southwest with you.”

“Fu Yi, you don’t have to go.”

 Fu Yi shook his head and said with firm eyes.

"I've been around adults to protect you since I was a teenager, and I've gotten used to it over the years. Hehuan has a poor life. He didn't have a mother to love him when he was a child, and he didn't marry into a good family when he grew up. It's all because of my incompetence as a brother. I couldn't let her live a good life. So I can only hope that she will have a good pregnancy in her next life, become a young lady in a wealthy family, and live a life without worries."

 As he spoke, his eyes turned slightly red again.

It seems that he remembered a lot of things that happened between him and Hehuan when they were young, and he actually started chatting endlessly in front of Feng Jinxu.

Feng Jinxu did not interrupt him and remained a quiet listener.

 It wasn’t until late at night that Fu Yi realized what he was doing.

 “Are you feeling better?”

"much better."

Feng Jinxu is not good at comforting others, so she can only listen to him quietly.

The two brothers and sisters grew up together, so their relationship is naturally deep. However, although he and A Yao are also brothers and sisters, they are not as close as Fu Yi and He Huan.

 For a moment, he felt that he had overlooked too much.

 Before, it was my wife’s child, but now I am my younger brother and sister, and I felt a little guilty.

 When everything is over, he hopes to be nice to both Feng Jinlin and Feng Jinyao, and to be an older brother who loves his younger siblings as much as Fu Yi does.

 Early in the morning of the second day, Feng Jinxu and the Sixth Prince set out toward the southwest with Emperor Qi's expectations and the things they had raised from wealthy merchants.

Wen's mother and daughter prayed for their husbands every day at home.
