zChapter 811 - You Need to Find Yourselves a Partner (2/2)

Ren Xi Feng heard her say this and felt that it was reasonable. If a prince that did not have rights to command troops wanted to cause problems, it would be very difficult. Even if he was in the capital, and even if he commanded the imperial guards, there was not much point. After all, even if the seventh prince left the capital, the capital still had the eldest prince and the second prince. Also, there were also the governor and the army protecting the capital. Those were all His Highness the seventh prince’s people.

The group felt more at ease from this analysis and turned the topic back to Feng Yu Heng leaving these friends.

Feng Yu heng comforted them, saying: “I am going to my fief to build it up and live a good life. Over there, I am definitely the ruler! You should feel happy for me. When I have built it up, you can head over if you ever feel bored. I will keep some courtyards open for you, so you can go and live there for a while at any time.”

As she spoke, not only did they not feel happy, but they actually rolled their eyes at her. Xuan Tian Ge said: “Do you think that we’re like you?! With nobody to concern themselves with you and being able to move about freely. Even wanting to go out is difficult for us. Have you ever seen any young miss go out of the province because they were bored? Also, at our age…”

With this painful matter being brought up again, Feng Yu Heng quickly stopped the topic in its tracks and said: “Sooner or later, that sort of day will come for all girls. Don’t be so pessimistic. Even thinking more about it now is pointless, unless you’re like Fu Rong, who has someone that she likes and can put in some effort. But you two don’t even have anyone that you like. What are you worrying over nothing for? If there really comes a day when you can no longer persuade your family, we can talk about it then. There will always be a way to resolve things.”

With just a few words, Bai Fu Rong’s face was left bright red, but it also helped ease the nerves of the other three. Ren Xi Feng clapped her hands together, “Hah! A-Heng, you really are the smartest. I just keep feeling that this marriage thing is just missing a little something. I have just been worried that the person that my family chooses will be someone that I don’t want to marry; however, I’ve never thought about who I really want to marry.”

Fung Tian Yu nodded and said: “That’s about how it is. We’ve all been neglectful.”

Xuan Tian Ge fiddled with her fingers: “You mean to say that our most pressing matter is to quickly find someone that we find cordial. Then with this goal in mind, we put in some effort in that direction?”

Feng Yu Heng nodded, “That’s right!” You don’t even have a partner, so what are you foolishly worrying about? There were times that she really wanted to ask these people before her. Everyone said that the people of the ancient world began to mature earlier, and girls began to discuss the matter of marriage with their close friends at around the age of ten. For many families, marriages were decided on by the time they turned 12 or 13, and they would immediately get married when they became of age. But why were all of her friends so slow to mature? Even to this moment, they did not have anyone that they liked. Really…

“Alright! We understand.” These words woke the three up, as Ren Xi Feng grabbed Bai Fu Rong’s hand: “Fu Rong! Speaking of, out of our group, you’re the only one that has been able to fall in love freely. Even A-Heng was ordered to get married. You will be responsible for telling us about this experience!”

Ever since Bai Fu Rong had recovered from her illness, she had gradually regained her original personality. At this time, she was looking at the three with great disdain: “What is there for me to tell you about? Go out and find one for yourself! Or just go home and think about it. Write down the names of all the men from the capital that have not yet had an engagement settled then just eliminate them one by one.”

Feng Yu Heng could not bear to continue listening. These people really were kindred spirits when it came to this sort of thing! They were all… forget it. She smiled bitterly, “Let’s not speak about this. I prepared some gifts for you. Just wait a moment.”

After she said this, she moved to the inner room. The gifts had indeed been prepared, and they had been taken out of her space. They were placed inside a cabinet. Opening the cabinet, she called Wang Chuan and Huang Quan to help bring the things out, and many bundles of items were placed in front of the three.

“Each person gets two bundles. There’s enough to last you for one year.” While she spoke, she opened up a bundle. They were sanitary napkins. “You are not lacking in gold and silver items, and there’d be no point in me gifting those things. After thinking about it, let’s be a little more practical. We are all sisters, and I have given you this sort of thing in the past. There’s no need to say what it is, right?”

This group of people had received Feng Yu Heng’s small gift before. Of course, they understood what they were. In an instant, they nearly leaped up with joy. It had to be said that people like them really were not lacking anything. When it came to gold, silver, jewels and money, giving such things would not have any impact. It was this sort of thing that was most personal to girls that enticed them the most. After all, the things that the girls of the ancient world wore were too crude and simple. Even if they were young misses from large families, they could not obtain anything particularly great. At best, they would just have things made of slightly better cloth, and the fluff inside would be of a slightly higher quality. It was because of this that they could not be compared to the sanitary napkins of the modern world.

Feng Yu Heng had brought out enough to last them a full year. This caused the girls to be extremely happy. Aside from this, Feng Yu Heng also prepared some commonly used Chinese and Western medicines, telling them: “If you fall ill, do what you can to take these sorts of Chinese medicines. If there is an emergency, use the white pills. Do you understand?”

The group did not understand, but Feng Yu Heng was a divine doctor. They naturally needed to listen to what she said. Feng Yu Heng saw them nod and brought out some other medicines: “It’s not convenient for me to visit your manors. These other medicines are for treating and preventing illnesses that come with old age. There are also some medical plasters that can alleviate waist and leg problems. They were prepared for your family members.”

Medicine was also prepared for their family members, and the group was very thankful. Xuan Tian Ge said: “Courtesy demands reciprocity, and we also prepared some gifts for you. You also said it. We are not strangers. That’s why we won’t give you anything meaningless. Here, take these.” As she spoke, each of them retrieved a wooden box from their own maid servant’s hands. All of them handed them over to Feng Yu Heng, except for Bai Fu Rong…
