The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 325 Threats and Counter-Threats, Cooperation

Yun Xi, who came back from the palace, took some time to call back all the younger sisters, and told them what happened in the palace by the way.Although Yun Yao and the others had heard a lot of rumors in the past two days, they were somewhat distorted when they spread out, so no one present like Yun Xi could speak accurately.

Yun Yao is less than three months pregnant, and her belly has not yet appeared, but she has chosen looser clothes.

She clicked her tongue and said, "She has finally got her wish, but does the Fifth Prince know that she has a marriage contract?"

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth curled up, and said: "The fifth prince is naturally cleared. Feng Donghua told him that it was a matchmaker's words from his parents, and he has no so-called feelings for his fiancé. He only intends to treat him as a guest after marriage."

Feng Dongxiang picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and said, "Fortunately, the relationship was severed early, otherwise those people don't know how to get entangled." With their thick skins, they will definitely belong to the whole family The flag asked Yunfu to support the Fifth Prince.

Yun Xi just smiled, the fifth prince cared deeply about Feng Donghua, and even personally sent a nanny and a maid in the courtyard to serve Feng Donghua, which was also a way for Feng Donghua and them to learn the rules of the palace.It's just that this servant girl happens to belong to her, this is good, Feng Dongxiang's every move is under her control.

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth curled up. She even gave Feng a big gift, and she didn't know if she would take the bait.

……

After receiving the imperial decree, Feng has been in a state of extreme excitement.On the contrary, because Feng Donghua had made psychological preparations beforehand and was taught the rules by his mother, even though he was ecstatic in his heart, he could still look dignified on the face.

Seeing that her daughter really became the prince's side concubine, and the marriage was appointed by the Holy Majesty, Feng naturally felt quite honorable.He wrote a letter overnight and asked her husband to quickly cancel the marriage between his daughter and Wen Xiang.

It was also fortunate that the other party hadn't hired him yet, otherwise he would have to pay back the dowry, which would be even more troublesome.

Although Feng believed that she could not be blamed for Feng Yunshi taking Feng Dongxiang to sever ties with their family, the rest of the family must find a scapegoat.This scapegoat is likely to be her who came to the capital, thinking that she offended Feng Yunshi.It's all right now, the daughter has become the concubine of the prince, who else in the clan dares to say a word to her again.

When Feng Shi thought of this, he felt very happy.The fortune teller was right, her daughter was destined to be rich.

As the side concubine of the county king, Donghua has also become a high-ranking person, still a fifth-rank, a few ranks higher than that of Feng Dongxiang.Although the fifth prince is the county king now, he will also be a sure-fire prince in the future, and the prince's side concubine is even fourth rank.

Her daughter is still the sweetheart of the fifth prince, if she gives birth to a son and a half daughter, she might be able to make her right again.

Feng Shi had already thought very well, and even forgot that under normal circumstances, the concubine cannot be straightened.Even if the concubine passed away unfortunately, the emperor would marry another wife.

It's just that after the excitement, she also stayed calm.It is a good thing for a daughter to become a side concubine, but the dowry is also a bit of a headache.The furniture that was prepared before must not be used anymore, and the bright red satin fabrics can't be worn.Originally, when her daughter married Wen Xiang, she had prepared a dowry of almost 3000 taels, which was quite a lot.Now that those unusable things have been removed, there are only 2000 taels left at most.

She hasn't mentioned this to Feng Donghua yet, but Feng Donghua has already taken the initiative to mention it to her, "Mother, you don't need to prepare too much jewelry and silk for me. No matter how much money our family spends, it will definitely not be as good as the county prince's mansion, so don't waste it." It's done a lot of work."

Mrs. Feng nodded, better jewelry would be as expensive as hell.Thinking of this, she became extremely jealous of Feng Dongxiang. Feng Dongxiang had a lot of dowry heads at that time, and such a set of pearl heads could not be bought for less than 5000 taels.

Her daughter was so considerate, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.The son in the family also has to marry a wife, and it will be a big expense to hire a wife.

Facts have proved that Feng really thought too much.

Feng Donghua continued: "After I enter the mansion, I will definitely need a lot of money to take care of it. Mother should give me 5000 taels of silver bills."

When Feng heard the 5000 taels, he almost vomited blood, "All the money in our family's books adds up to less than 5000 taels." Last year, the yearly expenses of frugality were only 1000 taels, and the daughter's mouth was 5000 taels. Let her heart be pierced like a knife.

Feng Donghua said: "Mom, I'm still a fifth-rank concubine of the county king, and I will be a fourth-rank one in the future. At that time, I will tell the prince, maybe my father, the magistrate, can do it too. Are you afraid that there will be no money at that time?" ?”

"Look, dad, who just became a magistrate this year, has received more than 2000 taels of tribute. I heard that the magistrate receives at least 6000 taels of filial piety a year."

"Instead of saving the money for your father to become an official and donate a name to your brother, you might as well bring it to me. For the prince, these things are just a matter of one sentence."

Feng Donghua drew a big cake in front of her mother.

Feng's heart was really moved, she hesitated, "You let me think again."

Feng's cash is not too much, and it is more than 3000 taels when he is fully charged.She went back to the house thinking about her daughter's words, tossing and turning, not feeling sleepy.

Her nanny boldly said, "Madam, are you worried about the dowry?"

Feng Shi nodded and said, "Although I want to give Donghua more money, I can't do what I want."

The mother Li lowered her voice and said, "In the past few days, I have often gone out with people to inquire about the news, and I know something about it. Many wives of rich families in the capital always put slander when they don't have enough money. Money, this thing comes quickly."

Feng Shi was a little uneasy, "You won't be caught?"

Nanny Li smiled and said, "Madam is overthinking. Six out of ten households in the capital put loan sharks. Is it possible that the Yamen can really catch all of these households? Besides, Madam is the prince's mother-in-law, for the sake of the fifth prince." , who would dare. This usury comes quickly, if you put 1000 taels a month, you can get 800 taels of interest."

Generally speaking, loan sharks are two cents a month, that is, if you put 1000 taels a month, the principal plus interest is 1000 two hundred taels.This kind of interest is already considered generous, and many people feel that it is not enough, and the interest has reached seven or eight cents.And what Nanny Li said was the most ruthless.

Feng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded firmly, and said, "Well, you have to work hard these few days to find out the way. Let's let him go for 1000 taels in the first month." If you really earn that much , put some more.Their expenses in the capital are really high, if they don't find a job to make a living, it will be her own fault.

Mother Li made another suggestion, "Our young lady has become a noble person and will soon become the prince's side concubine. The servant knows that Madam, you have written to the master to cancel the engagement. In my opinion, it's better to let the fourth bedroom Dongxiu and Master Zhang be engaged Well, they are all girls from the Feng family anyway. Previously, we only released rumors that the Zhang and Feng families were engaged, but did not say that she was the eldest lady. The eldest lady of Yexing was talked about because of the resignation of the marriage. "

Upon hearing this, Feng thought it was a good idea, "But is the Zhang family willing?" Dongxiu is only the daughter of Sifang, no better than Donghua.

Mother Li smiled and said, "Why don't you want to? Could it be that they want everyone to know that their fiancée was snatched by the prince? Besides, if this is done, the two families will be in-laws. .”

"As for the fourth room, can they find a better son-in-law than Young Master Zhang?"

Feng's heart has been completely moved by the words, "But I wrote a letter to send back the divorce a few days ago..."

Nanny Li continued: "Madam, why don't you ask Wanshiwu to help deliver the letter? I heard that their speed is very fast, although it is a bit expensive."

Feng Shi gritted her teeth and decided to deliver the letter early tomorrow morning.Nanny Li solved her two concerns tonight, which made her feel very emotional, "Mommy is really loyal."

"This is what a servant should do." In the darkness, Madam Li narrowed her eyes with a smile, but Miss Dongxiu said that if she can successfully persuade Madam, she will give her the golden hairpin that has climbed the plum blossom. That's a full two taels of gold, and it's very delicate and luxurious.

……

Regarding Feng Donghua's alleged marriage, after gossiping with her sisters for a while, Yun Xi put it aside.

It's just that the matter still involved Yunfu to some extent.Who made Yunfu directly tear Feng Donghua and the others out.

As early as after the marriage was pointed out, Feng Donghua's details were almost investigated by people with great powers.Knowing that her father is a prefect, last year he was only a county magistrate, and his family was humble in the eyes of the people in the capital of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.If Chu Ye didn't like her, she could only barely be a concubine with her status.

Now that everyone knew that the Yunfu and the Feng family were not dealing with each other, they became curious, how would the two families deal with this marriage referral?Is it the same as before, or will one party take the lead in making peace.

Soon, the people in the capital knew the answer.The Fifth Prince brought Feng Donghua to the door on his own initiative.

If Feng Donghua was alone, Yun Xi might not let her in.But the fifth prince was accompanying him, and the other party even pretended to come to the door to apologize.

Yun Xi just thought it was a little funny, why do some people always think that as long as they apologize verbally, they have to forgive them.

It happened that Feng Dongxiang stayed in Yunfu to discuss with Yun Xi about her test paper exercises.She is going to make a new compilation this year, and she is staying in Yunfu for the past few days to collect exercise materials.

Yun Xi looked at Feng Dongxiang and said, "Do you want to let them in?"

The movements of Feng Dongxiang's hands paused for a moment, and she said, "Let's meet again, otherwise it would be too arrogant to shut the prince out." If you don't come out, you can see that you are also blind.Any lady in the capital is better than Feng Donghua, who can only put on airs in front of men.

Through Yun Xi, she also knew about Feng Dongxiu's bribery of Nanny Li's good words, and she felt that this person was really smart.

Knowing very clearly that Zhang Wenxiang was the best partner she could find, and the other party's family style is also good, so she followed the trend.If this can be done, Feng Dongxiu's life when married into Zhang's family should be very good.

Feng Dongxiu made a statement, and Yun Xi had someone invite the two of them over.

When meeting Feng Donghua again a month later, Yun Xi had to admit that the girl had changed a lot.Although she was only wearing a simple moon-white dress, and there was only a jadeite hairpin slanted in her hair, neither the material nor the hairpin were ordinary things, and she knew without guessing that it must have been bought for her by the fifth prince.

Judging from the other party's walking posture, it is also taught by the palace, the traces are too obvious.

Yun Xi twitched the corners of her mouth, her tone was calm, "It's really a rare visitor."

The Fifth Prince Chu Ye's attitude was quite good, and he smiled with the demeanor of a prince, "It's just that there was some misunderstanding between the Feng family and Yunfu earlier, so this prince accompanied Donghua over here to see if he could resolve it."

The smile on Yun Xi's face faded a little, and she said, "I have never seen any sincerity in apologizing from the Feng family, so is it possible that the fifth prince agrees with their behavior of bullying orphans and widows?"

Chu Ye naturally would not agree, this kind of thing is actually not uncommon in big families, it's just that other people have done a good job in general, unlike the Feng family.If Feng Donghua hadn't shed tears in front of him, saying that he wanted to make up for the relationship and rebuild the old relationship, and that he didn't want to have another enemy, he would accompany her to the door.

Feng Donghua shook his lower lip, with a pitiful expression on his face, "My parents also used their brains because they didn't have a good future in the fields these years, and the clan couldn't even afford to hire a teacher."

Seeing her pretending to be pitiful, Feng Dongxiang just thought it was funny, it was obviously because a lot of sacrificial fields were occupied by their big house, so they didn't have enough money.She said with a half-smile, "Really? My grandma has always understood righteousness, and she has donated a lot of money over the years, at least 100 taels a year. I don't know that 100 taels can't afford to hire a gentleman."

"Who knew that this would actually increase your appetite, make you even worse, and unite with the Second Household to bully us." Although the Second Households were all in their early years, the acquiescence of the eldest house was clearly collusion.

In the end, grandma couldn't bear it anymore and could only bring her to the capital.

Feng Donghua didn't expect Feng Dongxiang to show her no face at all, his face changed slightly, and his expression became more and more pitiful, "I, as a child, how can I say anything wrong about them."

Yun Xi felt that her skills had also improved, so she directly blamed her parents for the matter, and then washed herself into a peerless white lotus.

Feng Dongxiang smiled sarcastically, and was too lazy to continue talking with her.

Yun Xi began to prepare tea for the guests.

A trace of gloom flashed across Feng Donghua's eyes, and he said, "Dongxiang, can we have a private chat?"

Feng Dongxiang also wanted to know what else she could say, so she nodded and led Feng Dongxiang to her yard.Although she has been married, her room is still kept, and the furnishings inside have not changed.

Feng Donghua's eyes fell on the ruby ​​phoenix hairpin on the dressing table, he picked it up and looked at it carefully, and said, "Dongxiang, I really like your hairpin, can you lend me to wear it?"

Ever since she was accused of marriage, Feng Donghua knew that she would never have anything to do with red in the future, so when she didn't go out during this period of time, she liked to wear bright red clothes, as if she wanted to wear enough clothes at once.Although the fifth prince gave her a lot of jewelry and fabrics, but he still avoided bright red.

Feng Dongxiang directly took back the golden hairpin, and said, "Even if I gave it to a maid, I would not lend it to you." This man was quite thick-skinned.Perhaps it was because there were only the two of them in the room now, and she was tired of pretending in front of others, and she returned to her bad nature when she was in front of her.

Feng Donghua's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone was a little more warning, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth also revealed a hint of malice, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell you about your reputation being almost ruined?"

At that time, Feng Dongxiang's sleeves were even torn off a little bit. Although there was no real harm, any man wouldn't mind if everyone said so much.

"I came here today because I sincerely want to shake hands with you and make peace. Why don't you know how to flatter me? It's really not worth offending a prince who will be a prince in the future."

Feng Dongxiang said: "Don't bother you, my family Li Lin knows this matter very well." She paused, and continued; "Besides, if this matter is spread, the Yun family will be at odds with the Feng family. I can be sure that my aunt and the others will fight against the fifth prince for me, but can you guarantee that at that time the fifth prince will firmly protect you as a concubine?"

Feng Donghua's face turned red with anger, and his hands trembled slightly.It's just that Feng Dongxiang's words did touch on what she was most worried about.Yes, the Fifth Prince does like her, but compared with his great career, he might sacrifice her.

She knew better in her heart that Chu Ye's kindness to her was more to make up for that court lady.

She almost gritted her silver teeth, but she couldn't refute anything.

Feng Dongxiang sneered, and said: "I miss you every day but don't see you, I hope your heart is like mine. My sister is really talented, it's a pity to be with Mr. Zhang."

When Feng Dongxiang read this poem, Feng Donghua's face turned pale.This is the content of the correspondence between her and brother Wen Xiang. How could she know?
"If you don't want people to know, you have to do nothing about it. My sister hasn't fixed her mess, and she still wants to threaten me. It's really stupid and ridiculous." Of course Xiao Cui revealed this content, and Xiao Cui even told They are where Feng Donghua kept the letters and purses that Feng Donghua originally used to tease his love.

Yun Xi also sent people to Feng's house earlier to collect these physical evidence.

Feng Donghua was flustered, "You, you..." She held back for a long time, but couldn't hold back a few soft words.

Feng Dongxiang smiled contemptuously, "You should go, Concubine Feng."

Feng Donghua's tone was much weaker, "For the sake of our sisters..."

Feng Dongxiang smiled mockingly, "When you threatened me just now, you didn't think of the so-called sisterhood." This person only remembered it when it was needed. Feng Dongxiang was only thankful that grandma chose to take her away from Feng's family.

She made a gesture of invitation, and Feng Donghua left in a trance.

When she returned to the main room, she managed to calm down and said to Chu Ye in a low voice, "Let's go back."

Seeing her expression, Chu Ye knew that the conversation between the two of them must not be going well, and felt very sorry for her.

Yun Xi took out a piece of jade pendant and said, "Miss Feng, when you lived in our mansion, you accidentally dropped a piece of jade pendant, and now it happens to be returned to its original owner."

When Feng Donghua saw the rabbit-shaped jade pendant, he felt a roar in his ears, and his mind went blank at this moment.

Her lips trembled, and the last bit of blood was lost on her face.

That jade pendant was clearly given to Xiaocui by her.

She raised her head, just in time to meet Yun Xi's half-smile expression.

It was rare for Feng Donghua's IQ to go online at this moment.She knew in her heart that this was a warning from Yunfu.Xiaocui might fall into Du Yunxi's hands, as long as she acted rashly, the other party would hand Xiaocui to Chu Ye without hesitation.

Feng Donghua felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured from head to bottom, and his whole body was icy cold.

She took a deep breath, suppressing those unwillingness and resentment.

Under such circumstances, she really didn't dare to continue to offend Yunfu.Her visit today was the biggest mistake, and she didn't dare to think that the other party would back down for Chu Ye's sake.

Seeing that her face turned pale, Chu Ye supported her regardless of the public, "Donghua, are you alright?"

Feng Donghua reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I just talked to Sister Dongxiang, and then I realized that my parents have done more bad things, and I feel really ashamed of her." Her eyes were red , looks sincere.

Yun Xi really admired her a little, she was definitely good at fooling Chu Ye, and in the blink of an eye she had already figured out an excuse to deal with it.

Chu Ye really believed it, and said, "Your parents are your parents, and you are you."

Instead, because of Feng Donghua's "honesty", he felt that she was different from other ordinary women.

"Do you want to go back then?"

Feng Donghua lowered his head, "I really don't have the face to ask for her forgiveness, let's go." His voice was still a little choked up.

Yun Xi watched Qiong Yao's drama with cold eyes, then watched Chu Ye apologize to her, and then left with Feng Donghua.

After they left, Feng Dongxiang asked: "Auntie, why don't you expose Feng Donghua's true face directly?" Instead, let her continue jumping.

Yun Xi asked back: "You said, given that we have a handle, if we promise to help her secure her favor, will she betray Chu Ye's news for this?"

"Definitely." Feng Dongxiang said without hesitation.

Yun Xi smiled like a flower, "If that's the case, why don't we leave such a good nail?"

Chu Ye can be regarded as Chu Ling's competitor, and he also has ambitions for that position. With Feng Donghua as a "spy", it is much easier to plan.

Feng Dongxiang thinks about it and thinks it makes sense. What her aunt sees is far longer than her, and this is what she should learn.

Yun Xi gave a low laugh, and said, "Feng Donghua can't have an accident now, at least let's wait for these two years. Anyway, she has learned her lesson now and dare not act wild in front of us."

"Why these two years?"

"Well, this involves cooperation with Chen Bofei."

Feng Dongxiang didn't understand why she suddenly got involved with Chen Bofei.Everyone in the capital thought that Chen Bofei came to Beijing this time to make a marriage, and the marriage that was most favored by everyone was the Fifth Prince.

Yun Xi explained: "People from the fifth prince's lineage prefer him to marry Chen Bofei as his wife. Originally, Chen Bofei's brothers, father, and uncles were a little bit moved, until His Majesty's birthday party came up with the marriage proposal."

Marriage is the conclusion of a good relationship between two families.The Chen family is obviously not willing to waste Chen Bofei, the best marriage partner, on the fifth prince, who is likely to spoil his concubine and kill his wife.

In addition, Chen Bofei's grandfather loves her granddaughter the most, and he strongly opposes it.

That's why Chen Bofei hoped that the Fifth Prince would continue to be infatuated with Feng Donghua and make the Chen family completely disappointed in him.The Chen family was not monolithic, Old General Chen was a pure royalist, but he was getting older, so he couldn't control his sons who were eager to stand in line.This may also be because Old General Chen loves Chen Bofei, his granddaughter. After all, their three views are more compatible.

She also felt that Chen Bofei was quite courageous, and she only met her once in the palace, so she dared to cooperate with her.It would be a pity if this one were to marry Chu Ye, she needs a wider stage.

Chen Bofei did show some sincerity. For example, she told Yun Xi the factions of some officers and generals at the border. Some of the gossip had not been for people who had stayed at the border for several years, and there was really no chance to investigate it.

Yun Xi even vaguely sensed Chen Bofei's inner thoughts. She seemed to be infected by the fact that Lu Yiran held military power, and she was not satisfied with the status quo, but still needed an opportunity.

She remembered the girl's firm eyes, and suddenly revealed a shallow smile: After all, not everyone can remember every inch of Zengzhou's land clearly like her, especially those military strongholds.

　Recommend Wen Ruoxi's new article: "The wealthy wife who flirts with you, please take the lead"

　　……

　　The first time she met him was like this——

　　He said: "Miss Ran really lives up to her reputation as a 'fox spirit'."

　　And she just smiled, and gently rubbed her long legs against his waist, "Mr. Jin, are you praising me or are you praising me?"
