Chapter 819 There will always be a good life
The fact that Feng Yuheng is going to the fiefdom is no longer a secret in Kyoto. The words have been spread through Baicaotang. Now even the common people in the capital will lament a few times when nothing happens. Unfortunately, such a good princess is going to be driven out of the capital. I really don’t know what those people think.
An was not surprised by Xiangrong's decision, but she shook her head and said to Xiangrong: "I don't agree."
I wondered, "Why?"
An told her: "You are my daughter. Although I am just a concubine, I don't want my daughter to marry a wealthy family to help the family build relationships. I just want you to be ordinary and find an honest person to live a down-to-earth life in the future. The path your second sister is going to take is destined to be extraordinary. If you want to be content, it is not something we can keep up with."
"Why do you have to think like this?" Xiangrong frowned and asked An: "Why can't we keep up with the second sister because of being ordinary? It's okay to run faster. I want to follow her now and help her do what she wants. Mom, I don't want to climb up the top, I just want to live so freely like my second sister."
An shook her head, "Free? Do you think she is very comfortable? Her side is full of calculating, and every step is bumpy. It seems to be casual and calm, but you have to know how much effort it takes to make it look so simple on the surface? I want to be willing to be my daughter, and my mother will never harm you."
Xiangrong looked at An, and thought for a while, then suddenly laughed. She said, "Mom, are you reluctant to leave me? Why don't you go with me? Second sister won't want us." The little girl's eyes lit up and she held An's hand and kept shaking, "I've inquired that the second sister's fiefdom is in the southeast, and the climate is better than Kyoto. At this time, it has begun to warm up. We can see the green leaves there. Mom, let's go together!"
She was full of hope and always thought that An would agree to leave together. This capital had left her with so many bad memories. The Phoenix Mansion had become a cage that she could not escape from. I thought that if she stayed here, she would sooner or later go crazy one day.
Looking at her daughter's expectant gaze, An also felt moved for a moment, but she quickly became cold. She smiled bitterly and said, "Where can I go? I am Feng Jinyuan's concubine, and my body is still held in the hands of the Feng family. I am not as good as a slave."
The Dashun Dynasty was extremely harsh on the system of concubines. It should be that the one who made the law was very despised by the existence of concubines. Therefore, the law stipulates that a concubine, like a slave, has a physical contract. Once he becomes someone's concubine, it is equivalent to handing over the contract to the hands of that person or that family. Whether he dies or lives is decided by the other party. There is no harmony or separation, and there is no need to be retired. Once he loses favor, he has no way out except waiting for death.
Xiangrong was young before, and couldn't think of these things, but he had heard of them. Now he heard An raise his contract, but he was a little worried. Thinking about it again, he simply stomped his feet and said, "I'm going to find the Fourth Prince, it's just a contract, and he will always have a way."
As she said that, she was about to run out, but An was pulled by her: "It's useless to find anyone." She stroked her daughter's soft hair and said helplessly: "Feng Jinyuan has run away. He must have brought the body contract with him. Even if he doesn't, he might hide it somewhere. What's the use of finding the Fourth Prince?" She pulled Xiangrong and sat down, then said again: "When it comes to the Fourth Prince, I have something to ask you."
I didn't know what happened, so I blinked and asked, "Mom, you said."
An waved his hand and walked back to the girl in the room. Seeing the door closed, he spoke: "The Fourth Prince treats you. My mother has seen it all these years, but she doesn't know what you think and didn't dare to ask. To be honest, I still said the same thing, I don't want you to climb into a high-ranking family, let alone you have any involvement with royal people. Maybe marrying into such a sect looks enviable, but only you know the sadness behind it. There is no place to say anything, and you can only kill your teeth and swallow your blood. Child, if you listen to your mother, don't worry, you are only thirteen years old, and there are good days. Let's choose slowly and you will always meet the right one."
After saying that, An said that she was confused. She asked casually: "What do I think of the Fourth Prince?" She said that, but she suddenly grabbed her heart, as if something suddenly grabbed her heart, so uncomfortable. Xiangrong frowned, and her attitude towards this matter was not as calm as before. But even so, she still insisted on her position and told An: "My fourth Prince and I are just a master-apprentice relationship, and it was the emperor's will that I asked him to teach him embroidery. That's all, don't think about it."
"Is it my random thought?" An shook his head helplessly, "Then just think about it, but there is no fourth prince and a seventh prince. What do you say about that person?"
Xiangrong was confused. She obviously wanted to follow her second sister to the fiefdom, but why did she pull the seventh prince? My mother was so. Although she knew that this person was a hurdle that she couldn't overcome in her heart, she finally forced herself not to think about it, but she was raised like this and avoided it.
She didn't know what to say, but she couldn't say nothing. After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "I can't think of that person." Her eyes blinked red instantly. She stubbornly raised her head, locking her tears in her eyes, forcing them not to flow down. Finally, she dried up, and then she squeezed a smile, "Mom, let's talk about my desire to go to the fiefdom with my second sister! Otherwise, you should take it as a pity and let me go on an outing with me? I only go to see and I will come back soon."
The last sentence is obviously unwilling to give up. Xiangrong is a filial child. If An asks her to go and see her, she will definitely come back. But An smiled and shook her head and told her: "Go! Can mother still not understand her children? I knew I could not keep you, but I hope you can be with me, but I also know that you are not happy. It's so contradictory! The Feng family used to be like a cage, but now the Feng family is gone. You shouldn't have lived in the shadow of that fallen brother at a young age. I also hope you can go out, escape here, and live the life you want to live. Just want Rong. You have to remember that no matter where you go, you can't forget your true heart and be confused by anything outside. Do you understand what you say for your mother?"
The tears of tears fell down suddenly. He hugged An and cried, saying, "Mom, I am always unwilling to live like this. I want to follow my second sister. You know, I have been willing to follow her since I was a child. No matter where she goes, as long as I can see her, I feel that life is full of hope. I know that everything she does is tight, so I want to do the right and meaningful things like her.
One day I grow up and have the ability, I can protect you. Mother, do you know? I am always afraid that Feng Jinyuan will come back, take us back to Feng Mansion, and lock us up in a small courtyard. Every day, you have to look at his face and Fan Dai's face to survive. Mother, I don't want to live such a life. You must wait for me, and one day I will come back to you, and let you see it. Your wishes can also avoid the wind and rain for you."
From crying to determination, An looked at the little child with a stubborn look, and finally showed a loving smile on his face.
Xiangrong said goodbye to An, and took his two bags with him and his maid Shancha to the princess's mansion. The moment he opened the door, Feng Yuheng seemed to have known she would come, and smiled and pulled the person into the mansion, and then told her: "We are leaving Beijing on the 14th day of the first lunar month, and there is only one day left. You are here just in time, helping your sister prepare."
To be surprised, Feng Yuheng said: "Don't think too much. Since you have decided, then follow me and you will always live a good life."
It was not until she was pulled into the yard of the third entry that Xiangrong could say something. She asked Feng Yuheng: "How did the second sister know what I plan?"
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "I'm not stupid, I can guess it just by looking at your outfit." The little girl smiled. She knew that her second sister would not leave her. From childhood to adulthood, she was her real safe haven.
It was about to leave Beijing on the 14th day of the first lunar month. At this time, the Yao family was also under the leadership of Xu, preparing for the essential items for Feng Yuheng to travel. Just the clothes prepared for her were packed with three big boxes. Yao Xian grinned and thought that there was no need for such clothes. It was too exaggerated.
But women's thoughts are more detailed. Xu Zhifeng Yuheng will not be able to come back in the short term. These three boxes of clothes are worn all year round, including shoes and socks, and they are well prepared.
Qin went to search the warehouse and packed boxes of some items she thought Feng Yuheng could use on the other end, such as vases, ornaments, teapots and tea bowls. She put all the beautiful ones on her face, and almost emptied half of the warehouse. Finally, she arranged eleven large boxes, but she was frightened by her son Yao Xuan. After a lot of advice, Qin deleted some of them. But even so, there were still five boxes that she thought she had to bring.
Miao made delicious snacks, so she plunged into the kitchen and didn't come out for half a day. When Xu went into the kitchen to see them, she found that the snacks Miao made were almost open for a snack shop. But she was happy and told Miao: "I did it right, I just need to bring more. I will have to walk half a month on the road, so we can't make it hard for us Ah Heng."
Yao Jingjun followed him and glanced at him, curled his lips, "Will it break?"
"What do you know?" Xu pushed people out, "It's not so easy to break in the middle of winter. Besides, you can throw it away if it's broken, but what if it's not enough to eat? You don't understand women's family affairs, don't get involved."
The men of the Yao family expressed their sincerity to do nothing. They just watched the half-yard box packing out and silently calculated how many fleets of their niece would have to take to fill all these things away?
The Yao family was very lively. At this time, Feng Yuheng was pulling Xiangrong to buy some essential things on the street. He was about to go to a snack shop to buy some snacks. When the corner of the street turned, he happened to run into the eighth prince Xuan Tianmo who was strolling with his back and riding a horse.
