Chapter 84 Zhang Feng
"Since His Royal Highness gave it to you, you should take good care of it." The British Duke said.
"My daughter knows." Zhang Guifen said.
The British Duke and Zhang Feng led the horses into the stables and tied them up, and added stables themselves.
The British male likes horses very much, and his mount is also a BMW. He always takes care of it himself without the help of servants.
"Let's go, it's getting late, it's time to eat." The British father clapped his hands and said.
"Brother, are you still used to going to the military camp with your father?" Zhang Guifen asked.
Zhang Feng is the adoptive son of the British father-in-law. He is just sixteen years old this year.
At the beginning of the year, under the witness of the clan elders, he was officially adopted to the British father.
After the adoption, the British father would take him with him to teach him every time he went to the military camp.
"I'm used to it now." Zhang Feng smiled shyly.
"Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked my brother to go to the East Palace to listen." Zhang Guifen said.
The British Duke stopped when he heard this and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the house today?"
"No, it was my daughter who went to the East Palace."
Zhang Guifen Bring Liu Sanshi to her, and after she goes to the East Palace, Zhao Xing repeats what he said to her.
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has a decree, you can go there tomorrow." The British Duke looked at Zhang Feng and said.
"Yes!" Zhang Feng responded.
"Remember, after you go, if His Highness the Crown Prince wants to grant you a high position, you must not accept it. You have just joined the army now and don't know anything. Start from the bottom and take your time." The British Duke warned.
"Son, please remember your father's teachings!" Zhang Feng said respectfully.
……
The next morning, Zhang Feng came to the East Palace, explained his purpose, and after verifying his identity, he was taken to the front hall.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Liu Sanshi came over and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, His Royal Highness still has to go to class. I don't have time to see you for the time being. His Royal Highness asked the slave to take you to the military camp."
"Excuse me, father-in-law." Zhang Feng said with cupped hands.
"Young Master Zhang is welcome, come with me."
Liu Sanshi led Zhang Feng to the military camp, told Fang Zhongrong about Zhang Feng's identity, and said that His Highness the Crown Prince had ordered Fang Zhongrong to He arranged for Zhang Feng to become a captain, so he said goodbye and left.
Fang Zhongrong was very confused after hearing this. Zhang Feng was the adopted son of a British duke. In the future, he would not only inherit the British dukedom, but also become the uncle of the country when Zhao Xing ascended the throne.
However, Zhao Xing told him to arrange an errand for Zhang Feng as a captain.
Although he couldn't figure it out, he still followed Zhao Xing's instructions and ordered someone to call a battalion commander. Fang Zhongrong started chatting with Zhang Feng.
After waiting for a while, the battalion commander arrived, he explained and asked him to take Zhang Feng away.
The battalion commander was not stupid. He knew that Zhang Feng’s identity was not simple, so he kept inquiring about Zhang Feng’s identity along the way.
Zhang Feng didn't say anything, he just said that he came in through connections.
The battalion commander was not angry when he saw that he could not find out. He took Zhang Feng back to the military camp and summoned several captains under his command to come over and let Zhang Feng get to know them.
Then he handed Zhang Feng to one of the captains and asked him to take Zhang Feng for a few days.
So Zhang Feng began his formal life in the military camp.
In fact, Zhang Feng's heart is still quite different. Yesterday, the British Duke told him not to accept the high position offered by the prince.
Zhang Feng also agreed and was ready to refuse. When he went to bed last night, he was still thinking about how he should refuse if His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to grant him a high-ranking official position.
Who would have thought that after coming here, let alone a high position, His Highness the Crown Prince would not even see him.
Originally, Zhang Feng comforted himself that His Highness the Prince had no time because he was studying, so he would see him when he had time.
However, after waiting for half a month, he stopped bathing and His Highness the Crown Prince had never seen him.
Zhang Feng is just a captain, and according to the rules, he can only have three days off in half a month.
By the time he left the East Palace for the holidays, he still had not been summoned by the prince.
In the evening, the British father-in-law returned home and learned that Zhang Feng was back, so he was summoned to the study.
"Father." Zhang Feng saluted.
"Sit down." The British Duke waved his hand and asked, "Are you still used to being in the army?"
Although Zhang Feng followed him to the western suburbs camp every day before, he didn't Specific duties, but was taken with him to learn. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the child to serve as a captain and take charge of the army. Someone else took care of the child for a while, and the child has adapted." Zhang Feng said.
"The Captain is quite good." The British Master nodded slightly and said: "You must learn with humility in the army and not act recklessly based on your status, you know?"
" "I understand," Zhang Feng said.
"By the way, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seen you?" the British Duke asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never seen the child, and the captaincy was arranged directly by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zhang Feng said.
The British Duke pondered for a while after hearing the words, and soon understood Zhao Xing's intention. Without Zhang Feng's explanation, they chatted for a while. It was not until the servants came over to call them to eat that the father and son left the study.
……
On the eighth day of April, Sheng’s eldest daughter got married.
Although Sheng Hong entered Beijing not long ago, he is tactful and gets along well with his colleagues.
In addition, the Sheng and Wang families also have many old friends in Bianjing, so the wedding of the eldest daughter of the Sheng family was quite lively.
The main hall of the Sheng family was full of guests, and Sheng Hong was chatting with the guests with a smile.
Dong Rong hurriedly walked into the main hall, walked around from the side, came to Sheng Hong, and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Sheng Hong suddenly stood up, and the guests asked suspiciously.
"Everyone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send you a congratulatory gift. I have to go to greet you and thank you. I'll excuse you now." Sheng Hong bowed his hands to the guests and hurried out.
The guests were stunned when they heard this. Many people knew that a girl from the Sheng family was chosen as the crown prince's concubine.
But no one cared too much about it.
It is said that there are three thousand beauties in the harem, which is actually a bit exaggerated. This includes all the ladies in the harem.
But the emperor’s concubines were few in number, ranging from dozens to hundreds.
As the prince, Zhao Xing will naturally have many concubines in the future.
Except for the crown princess and the favored ones, there is no need to care at all.
The girl from the Sheng family has not entered the palace, so it is not certain whether she will be favored. Naturally, she will not fawn over Sheng Hong because of this.
But His Highness the Crown Prince specially sent someone to deliver a congratulatory gift when the eldest daughter of the Sheng family got married, which shows that the Sheng family still has a great status in His Highness the Crown Prince's heart.
The guests had different thoughts and followed out one after another.
"Servant Liu, please come in quickly and have a cup of wedding wine." Sheng Hong said with a smile.
"Haha, I also want to ask for a wedding drink, but it's a pity that I have to go back to recover." Liu Sanshi smiled and refused, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to send you a congratulatory gift to congratulate the eldest daughter of Mr. Shanda. Happy wedding to Earl Zhongqin’s second son.”
After saying this, he waved, and several young eunuchs carrying brocade boxes behind him presented the gifts.
Sheng Hong quickly asked someone to take it, said a lot of words of gratitude, and stuffed Liu Sanshi with some tea money.
This money was regarded as a happy gift, and it was given by Sheng Hong on his own initiative. Liu Sanshi accepted it with peace of mind, and left with the others after Sheng Hong sent it off.
As soon as Liu Sanshi left, the guests asked Sheng Hong to open the gifts and take a look.
Sheng Hong said that was too rude and had the gift taken away.
Despite this, the guests' attitude towards Sheng Hong was a bit more enthusiastic.
......
In Hualan's room in Shou'an Hall, Mrs. Wang was nagging at Hualan. She had said many words many times during this period, but Mrs. Wang Still talking tirelessly.
At this moment, Mother Liu walked in with several maids holding brocade boxes.
"Madam, eldest lady, His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send some congratulatory gifts." Mother Liu said excitedly.
"It seems that what Chang Bai said before is true. Open it quickly and take a look."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang stopped nagging and asked people to open all the brocade boxes.
The box contains all kinds of jewelry.
"Look at these jewelry. Each one is more exquisite than the other. They are worthy of being made in the palace. Quickly, put them on for Hua'er." Madam Wang urged.
"Mom, why don't you stay at home. In order for your daughter to get married, my mother has already given most of your dowry to her. You should keep these jewelry for Ru Lan to wear when she enters the palace in the future." Hua Lan said.
