Chapter 970: The Sign of Great Wealth and Honor
At the same time, Feng Qingyu was ultimately unable to persuade Jiang Fenghua, so he simply sent someone to report the situation back to the Feng family. He chose to travel with Jiang Fenghua to protect her safety. There was another reason, as he also wanted to know why he felt a sense of déjà vu when he saw Gongsun Lan, even though they had never met before.
With Feng Qingyu accompanying them, food, clothing, housing and transportation were much easier along the way. They completely avoided the areas where the disaster was severe and headed all the way to Xichuan.
When Zhang Yumo heard that she was going to stay in Yuzhou to treat the victims, she refused. Besides, she also wanted to go to the ghost realm to find the answer. If there really was a way to resurrect people, she wanted to resurrect her grandparents and make the Zhang family strong again.
Qin Yunyan also wanted to know if what Xiao Shang said to her was true. Would she really become the Queen Mother? Perhaps she would only know the answer when she reached the Ghost Realm. Now that she couldn't return to the palace, she might as well follow Jiang Fenghua.
They were a large group of people and would be gone for several months.
-
Another half month passed before Jiang Jinyan finally arrived in Yuzhou with the relief grain. On his way back to Feng's house in Yuzhen, he heard that Feng Qingyu had accompanied Jiang Fenghua to Xichuan.
Jiang Jinyan told the strange story of Jiang Fenghua growing a flower ornament between his eyebrows, and said nothing else. After hearing this, the family members looked normal. Old Master Feng seemed to believe in some weird legends at his age. When he was young, he also traveled all over the country on foot and always encountered some strange things.
Jiang Jinyan's eyes were filled with worry. "What the hell is that place called Ghost Realm? Has Grandfather ever heard of it?"
An old man smoking a pipe sat in the main seat. He was the head of the Feng family, Old Master Feng. Although he was old, his eyes were still bright. He did not answer Jiang Jinyan directly, but said, "With Xiaojiu accompanying Ruanruan, we are relieved. Xiaojiu is smart and often travels to Xichuan, so he will be fine."
Madam Feng looked much more relaxed after hearing this. She said, "Xiaojiu's brain isn't as sharp as Miss Ruan's. When have you ever seen Miss Ruan suffer any loss? She's not stupid, so why would she choose to risk her life? I think she knows what's going on."
Feng Laodao said, "Xiao Ruan is the most blessed person in our family. How could she be cursed? Jinyan, don't scare yourself. If Dad says it's okay, then it must be okay."
Old Master Feng suddenly looked up at his eldest son. The more they tried to comfort themselves, the more worried they became.
Old Master Feng said in a deep voice, "I've been to the Ghost Realm before. I didn't go in, so I came back alive. But it almost cost me my life. Others weren't so lucky. Many people became idiots, and some even lost their lives. Later, everyone said that their souls were taken away by ghosts. No one dared to go to that place, and no one mentioned it again."
Boss Feng was anxious. "I'm going to get Xiao Ruan and Ninth Brother back. Ninth Brother only wrote to me about going to Xichuan, but didn't mention going to the Ghost Realm. Aren't they going there to die?"
Old Madam Feng said, "Pfft, pfft... What's with all the talk about death? Say something auspicious. Miss Ruan is very blessed. She has something to protect her head and everything will be fine."
"Mom, you're talking nonsense again. What could be covering Xiao Ruan's head? Why does it feel so gloomy? Didn't you hear what Dad said? That place is very spooky. Xiao Ruan is so frail, how could she withstand the climate in Xichuan?" Boss Feng added, "I went there once and never dared to go back."
Madam Feng smiled slightly. "She has the appearance of great wealth and honor. I once read Xiao Ruan's fortune and she is very blessed. Nothing will happen to her. There is a Buddha's light above her head, and no demon or monster can harm her."
Jiang Jinyan always knew that her grandmother was a kind-hearted person. She believed in Buddhism and God, and she always talked about Buddha. She also often talked about doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
Jiang Jinyan said, "Qingyu also went with them. Will he be in danger?" Everyone was only concerned about Ruan Ruan. The crybaby little cousin must be weaker than Ruan Ruan!
Madam Feng said, "I've read his fortune. Xiaojiu has a very strong life and won't die. Back when he was still in my belly, the doctor predicted he wouldn't survive. But he was born and raised alive. Now he's so lively. In our Feng family, who dares to take on Xichuan's escort? Only Xiaojiu. I'm not worried about Xiaojiu wherever he goes. He won't die."
When the Feng family and Jiang Jinyan heard the old lady keep saying the word "death", they didn't know how to refute it, nor did they dare to refute the person who was really in charge of the Feng family. They could say death to Xiaojiu, but they had to avoid mentioning the word "death" to Ruan Yatou.
The Feng family has always valued girls over boys and cherished daughters.
"Old man, why don't we ask a master to calculate the situation of Miss Ruan? I'm afraid she is possessed by some dirty thing." said Mrs. Feng.
Old Master Feng stopped smoking his pipe and instantly stood up from his seat. He said urgently, "I'll go ask Master Fan myself."
Before he had even finished speaking, he had already left the main room.
Jiang Jinyan sighed, "Grandfather Feng is still as brisk as a hawk at his age."
Feng Da directly complained about his father in front of his mother, "Since he retired, all he has done is find people to play chess with or fight crickets with. When the flood came, his crickets were washed away and he couldn't find them. He only cares about Xiao Ruan's problems, and it's as if everyone else has nothing to do with him."
"Who are the 'other people' that my uncle is referring to?" Jiang Jinyan remembered that his grandfather had always been a kind-hearted person.
Feng Da looked out the window. "It's his biological sons and grandchildren."
The windows of the main hall were already crowded with people. After seeing Old Master Feng hurried away, everyone gathered around Jiang Jinyan and greeted him warmly, "Uncle Jinyan has become a high-ranking official. We haven't seen Uncle Yan in his official uniform yet..."
Everyone was talking and showing concern for Jiang Ruan and the Jiang family. Jiang Jinyan naturally bowed to the elders of the Feng family first. The fear brought by the natural disaster seemed to have dissipated in an instant.
They wanted to know more about Jiang Fenghua, but Old Master Feng and the Old Madam had already issued an order not to cause trouble for Jiang Ruan, as she was the queen now.
It was precisely because of Jiang Ruan's identity that after the natural disaster in Yuzhou, the Feng family was the first to step forward and use the Feng family's grain to help the people, and they also called on wealthy businessmen from all sides to donate money and grain.
Everyone suffered from the disaster and helped each other to overcome the difficulties. The people of Yuzhou were united and helped each other, which also laid the foundation for Jiang Jinyan to bring the army to disaster relief.
Jiang Jinyan wrote down the details of the situation in Yuzhou in the memorial, including the escape of officials from Meizi Village and Xingzi Village.
While Xie Shang was worried about the disaster, he was also dealing with state affairs and guarding against rebellion in the northwest. He did not dare to relax for a moment.
He didn't expect that an ordinary Feng Escort Agency would have such a great influence, and even took the initiative to organize the masses to carry out disaster relief, which prevented the people of Yuzhou from causing trouble.
He also received the news that Jiang Fenghua, Xiao Shang and others had already set off to Xichuan to search for the Ghost Realm.
Xie Shang summoned the ministers and worked in the imperial study for three days and three nights before coming out. The biggest issue now was the disaster in Yuzhou.
The secret guard would report the itinerary of Jiang Fenghua and others every day. Now he had no choice but to let her go. He believed in the ability of Young Master Ruan.
Master Wu Zi read her fortune and predicted that she would be very rich and powerful.
