Chapter 43 Jie Jinlan
Being a sworn brother is not a trivial matter, not to mention that the Feng family looks down on Feng Tianzhu like a ball in their eyes.
I dared to bring it up only after I made it known to the Duke.
Seeing Wen Mingqian respond, a maid came over with a pen and red paper.
Wen Mingqian wrote his son’s birth date on red paper.
The maid took it out and came back after a while of burning incense.
"Sir, the Fourth Young Master Gong and our Crown Prince's horoscopes are very similar. If they become brothers, they can help each other, eliminate misfortunes and accumulate blessings. It would be great."
When Mrs. Feng heard this, she was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Very good, very good! Hurry up and prepare three incense sticks. Today is a good day. Let's make them Jinlan brothers!"
At this point, I felt like I was She seemed a little busy, smiled sheepishly, and turned around to ask Wen Mingqian: "Does the Second Madam still have to go back and ask your master for instructions?"
"No need, I can do this. Make the decision." Wen Mingqian said, "My master will not refuse your favor."
Being married to the Feng family would not do any harm to the Gong family, and it would further strengthen Wen Mingqian's position.
"Okay, okay! Then we have settled." Although Feng Tianzhu is not Mrs. Feng's biological child, this child is too important to the Feng family. If her biological daughters have no brothers in their natal family, where will they have someone to rely on in the future?
Such a relationship of mutual prosperity and loss is much stronger than some blood relationships.
In a blink of an eye, the servants of the Feng family had prepared the incense case, and the two children were also called over.
After a complicated ceremony, the two finally became Jinlan brothers.
Feng Tianzhu is one year older than Gong Changan and is his adopted brother.
He took this matter very seriously and insisted on forming a blood alliance with the palace chief An Yan. This frightened Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Wu and tried their best to stop him, but he just refused to listen.
It was Gong Changan who said: "Brother, you and I are of the same mind, and we are friends with each other.
It's just that now we have elders in front of us, our bodies are hairy and our skin is affected by our parents. Don't lose your filial piety because of brotherly loyalty. "
Feng Tianzhu, a bastard, won't listen to a word of his family, but he listens to Gong Changan.
Just because when the two of them were playing in private, Gong Changan was completely a little scoundrel, wild and cunning, and he was completely different from the children of those aristocratic families.
His pocket knife is hidden in his sleeve. With a wave of his hand, he can nail the silkworm moths on the branches.
I can hang upside down, stick to the wall, and I can even play Cuju superbly.
Feng Tianzhu immediately said: "Good brother, you are right! The two of us are not real brothers, we are better than real brothers. You are in this Bodu, but if someone gives you trouble, just mention your brother's Who dares to disapprove of the name?”
Gong Changan, a smart little guy, immediately said: “Brother is so loyal, and I am willing to go through fire and water for you. Go.”
This made Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Wu laugh so much that they bent over and said, "You two little devils, you must have heard this from a play! It's really hilarious for a child as big as Maoer to talk so much in quacks."
Mrs. Feng nodded and called the maid aside to come over. The maid held a box in her hand with a gemstone necklace inside. Judging from the workmanship and the quality of the gems on it, it should be a reward from the palace.
"This is my meeting gift to Chang'an. Don't think it's too simple." Mrs. Feng straightened out the necklace on her collar and put it on Gong Changan's neck.
"Madam, you are too polite. You are so humble for such a great gift." Wen Mingqian said and took off the white jade longevity lock on Gong Changan's neck as a return gift. "I have been wearing this longevity lock since my son was born. Although it is not very valuable, it is a personal belonging after all. Jade has spirituality and will definitely make the young prince healthier and more prosperous, and his life will be auspicious."

"Thank you for your kind words, Mrs. Wu." Mrs. Wu said gratefully. She felt more and more that Wen Mingqian was kind from the bottom of his heart.
Unlike the Song family, who looks like a Bodhisattva at first glance, but is actually like a snake, scorpion, and bee inside, and dares to kill people.
Thinking of this, she was suddenly stunned.
There were rumors that Wen Mingqian killed the Song family's eldest son, and she had thought it was possible before.
After all, wives and concubines are quarreling, and sometimes they attack children on impulse.
But after seeing Wen Mingqian and Song's behavior, she couldn't help but have doubts.
A man who wants to use the reputation of a girl who has not yet left the court for personal vendetta, even at the expense of other people's innocent children.
One has to be merciful and considerate of the overall situation.
Is there another hidden meaning behind the rumor?
Wen Mingqian and his son were left to have lunch. Feng Tianzhu refused to let Gong Changan go home. The Feng family was afraid that he would fall ill, so they asked Wen Mingqian to let Gong Changan stay at their house for a while.
Wen Mingqian then warned his son: "You must not act recklessly here. You must listen to the madam and the young madam in everything."
"Oh, second madam, you are too worried. Look at this child, he is so knowledgeable and polite. Sure. Even though he is a year younger than ours, he is much more mature in his words and actions!" Mrs. Feng said with a smile.
"Madam, please don't praise him too much. He is a child after all, so he is inevitably naughty." Wen Mingqian said.
"We have already said that he is a child, so it doesn't matter if he is naughty." Wu said, "If you are willing to keep him at ease, you can trust us."
Then Wen Mingqian took the Feng family's carriage back home alone, and felt a little strange as soon as he entered the door.
Back in her yard, Zhang's mother caught up and said: "The one in the west courtyard went out in a hurry. I heard that something happened to Gong Er."
"What happened to him?" Wen Mingqian was surprised. Gong Er This person is said to be very cautious outside and will not get into trouble easily.
“My inquiry is not very accurate.” Zhang Ma said, “The main fault is not with Gong Er, but with his former boss who got into trouble and he was implicated.
It was a letter from someone who followed him, saying that he was suddenly transferred to the Criminal Department and he might not be released for a while. "
"Now he should be detained for interrogation, so it may not mean that something is really wrong. "Wen Mingqian said, "But it's hard to say. When dealing with the main criminal, there are often people who will be troubled. It depends on the person in charge. If he deliberately wants to find trouble, it will be really difficult. "
"Song Xiulian is panicking this time. She is probably in a hurry to beg her brother." Zhang Ma curled her lips, "Her brother who specializes in licking King Zhao's buttocks, with his ability to help, he came out with a little face. He must have wanted to take advantage of it as soon as possible. Thanks to the relationship, Gong Er will be kidnapped."
"Then let her run away first. You can inquire carefully and we will be more prepared." Wen Mingqian said, "You can go too. Ask San Er and ask her to help find out."
Mother Zhang agreed and went out.
Wen Mingqian stayed at Feng's house for most of the day and was inevitably a little tired. He asked Liu'er to come in to serve him, changed his clothes, washed his hands and face, and then asked her to go out.
After that, I carefully applied the prepared facial oil on my hands, face, and neck in front of the dressing table, and then went to bed to rest.
When something happened to Gong Xu, she wasn't as worried as Mrs. Song, and soon fell asleep.
