The Divine Doctor: The Daughter Of The Frist Wife
806.
On the day of Chen Yu's maturity ceremony, Xiang Palace loudly presented her engagement gift.
The reason it was said to be loud was not because Xiang Palace had given abundant gifts, nor was it because there were all kinds of instruments played. Instead, it was because a group of people who came brought live chickens, live ducks, and live fish!
Feng Yu Heng was the first to be surprised!
In this life and his previous life, he was not afraid of any weapons, cannons, or calamities. He was not even afraid of insects and poisonous snakes, but he had a fatal weakness. He was afraid of anything with wings, and the chicken was the one he feared the most.
When he was attacked by a goshawk at the end of the year, he looked calm. However, he had already nearly died of fear. Fortunately, it was not chicken. Currently, eight live chickens were brought in with bated wings. He was unable to control himself and shouted then hid behind An shi.
An shi was frightened by her then immediately reacted, asking strangely: "The second young lady is afraid of chickens?"
Feng Yu Heng's face was completely pale, "Duck, I'm also afraid of ducks."
An shi was confused. When she was young, the second young miss was not afraid of this kind of thing, but when she looked again at the big roosters, their eyes and roosters were indeed quite intimidating. Even Xiang Rong was a bit too scared to look at him, so he understood. He quickly adjusted his body and protected Feng Yu Heng.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were completely speechless. It's too embarrassing. Young Miss is actually afraid of chickens! They wanted to use their eyes to express their contempt, but they found that Feng Yu Heng's face was pale white, and his eyes were tightly closed while hiding behind An shi. He even covered his ears. Both of them were helpless and could only stand by An shi's side, further blocking the view.
In ancient times, there were "six rituals" of application, asking for names, checking for matches, sending engagement gifts, choosing favorable wedding dates and wedding ceremonies. When Feng Yu Heng was young, and he was engaged to Xuan Tian Ming, everything was done very seriously and based on books. When they returned to the capital, Mrs Zhou came to give the engagement gift, and this was a perfect fit.
However, when it came time for Chen Yu, things were not done well. The two families simply exchanged engagement notes, and all other steps were simplified.
Although everything was simplified, the Feng family never expected that Xiang Palace could truly simplify it to this degree.
The gift was sent by the palace housekeeper. Although Lady Zhou of Yu Palace could be considered a housekeeper, there was a difference between the two housekeepers. Miss Zhou was a first rank noble, and she could enter and exit the imperial palace. What can be considered of this Xiang Palace? At most, he could be considered on par with He Zhong.
Feng Jin Yuan felt that he had no face left and continued to listen to He Zhong recite the reward list.
"Xiang Palace has given its gift to the eldest young miss. Eight live chickens, eight live ducks, eight live fish, 100 eggs, 20 jin of brown sugar, 20 jin of kanji noodles, four sets of four-season clothing, and, 120 Steamed buns and 50 huangjiu jars!"
Feng Chen Yu's face twisted in every way, but she was a little more rational this time around. Taking the initiative, he walked in between the matriarch and Feng Jin Yuan then calmly comforted them, saying to the housekeeper of Xiang Palace. "May I ask the housekeeper's uncle, were these engagement gifts sent by His Highness Prince Xiang?"
Feng Chen Yu was born very beautiful, especially when decorated with a calm smile, it was the most radiant. Housekeeper Xiang Palace knew that this kind of engagement gift was too bad. Not only was the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family, she was also a national beauty. She deserves the most lavish engagement gift. Yet...
Palace housekeeper Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "His Majesty is seriously injured, and the gift is prepared by the princess."
These words explained to the Feng family that this was what Princess Xiang meant. Women, right. Helping their own men send engagement gifts to others, it was understandable to have this kind of mood. That was why the Feng family should not feel too sad over an engagement gift like this.
Chen Yu also sighed in relief. The matriarch and Feng Jin Yuan no longer had ugly expressions on their faces. No matter what was said, this was a battle of jealousy between women. From today, Chen Yu will be getting married. Whether he could turn things around or not would depend on his own ability.
With the engagement gift delivered, the ensuing affairs were handled by Cheng shi's sister. Although this gift was shabby, it was the most common among ordinary families. Chen Yu was the daughter of a concubine, so it was natural that she did not have the same requirements as the daughter of the first wife. No matter what is said, getting married is the most important thing.
The Cheng shi sisters received an engagement gift then welcomed the housekeeper for tea, but the housekeeper said that he should return to report, so that he could not stay for long, and leave immediately.
Cheng Jun Man smiled and said to Feng Jin Yuan. "My husband, do you think we should add a little more of the eldest young lady's dowry?"
Feng Jin Yuan did not speak. The matriarch, angrily snorted, saying. "What should be added? I feel like we gave too much. No matter what was said, there was a set of golden headdresses. Just that one thing was more precious than all that was sent by Xiang Palace!"
Chen Yu's expression did not change. He was really afraid that the matriarch would take back her things, so he quickly said. "Treat it as a dowry. Grandma, just treat it as leaving grandchildren as a memory. After all, mother .. After all, Chen shi didn't leave behind much stuff. Let's just say the granddaughter begged grandma. From today, no matter how big the future granddaughter, I will always remember the kindness of grandmother."
With him talking about this matter, what could the matriarch still say? He just sighed then fell silent.
At this moment, Feng Yu Heng finally crawled out from behind An shi's back. His skin is not very good. An shi quickly called for someone to bring him some tea then comforted him.
Initially, they believed that the maturation ceremony had been completed, so they had to be disbanded immediately. There were not many shelters in the front yard, the day was hot, and the air was sultry. Han shi even felt that he really did suffer from the heat, as he had the servants endlessly waving their fans for him.
However, Feng Jin Yuan suddenly flicked his sleeve and helped the matriarch back into the head seat. Everyone frowned, understanding that he must have something else to say. So they stopped their whispers and turned their attention to the head seat.
