Chapter 296 Feng Mansion
Chu Ci was actually very nervous for the whole day, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and didn't want to go out at all. She just wanted to have a good rest in the house and relax her tense nerves.
However, Fan Jingrui had already told Aunt Zhang and the others, "You don't have to follow me. We are going to go out and spend some time alone together."
As soon as these words of naked display of affection came out, Chu Ci immediately understood what they meant and stopped refusing.
Without Nanny Zhang and others following them, Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui felt comfortable and relaxed along the way.
They seemed like an ordinary couple. (Well, although this ordinary couple was so sweet and affectionate, they were so affectionate and affectionate along the way, and the deep affection between their eyes could make others choke.)
After strolling like this for a quarter of an hour, the two finally stood in front of Feng Yan's mansion.
Chu Ci looked at the ordinary door in front of him, which was no more than ten feet high and about five feet wide, with the red paint peeling off and the door knocker rusted.
"Are you sure this is Feng Mansion?" Chu Ci asked in disbelief, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes full of doubt. Then he sighed: "No wonder Feng Yan didn't allow me to visit him, it turns out that his self-esteem is so strong."
Fan Jingrui had anticipated Chu Ci's reaction, and with a slight smile, he explained, "This was requested by the first imperial teacher. The Feng Mansion only needs to be renovated, not built."
"What a strange request? No one has asked why?" Chu Ci stared at Fan Jingrui, expecting him to give a reasonable answer.
Seeing this, Fan Jingrui did not beat around the bush and said directly: "It is said that the national master felt that the construction would damage the Feng Shui pattern of this place, thus affecting the fortune of the Feng family."
Chu Ci's reading comprehension ability has always been very strong. She frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "It is said? In other words, it is probably false? Is there any hidden secret?"
Fan Jingrui knew some of the inside story, but it was a secret and he couldn't just tell it on the busy street. So he said, "Let's knock on the door first, or people nearby will think we are up to no good."
As Fan Jingrui finished speaking, Chu Ci hurriedly looked around, and sure enough, several people were staring at them with burning eyes.
Chu Ci was shocked. It seemed that she always let down her guard unconsciously when she was with Fan Jingrui during this period of time. This defenseless state was not good, very bad.
After admonishing himself in his heart, Chu Ci took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner waves, and prepared himself mentally before saying, "I'll go knock on the door."
After saying that, Chu Ci calmed himself down, walked forward, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the doorknob, "Dong Dong Dong".
After a while, there was a creaking sound of a door opening. It was not the main door that Chu Ci knocked on, but a secret door in the side wall. The person who came out was not the gatekeeper that Chu Ci had imagined, but Feng Yan himself.
"You guys are finally here. I almost fell asleep while waiting!" Feng Yan complained while yawning.
No?
Fan Jingrui actually guessed it right. Chu Ci glanced at Fan Jingrui, his eyes full of surprise and admiration.
Then, she quickly turned her attention to Feng Yan. "Are you waiting for us? What if we don't come?"
Feng Yan did not answer this, but walked around to the front door and opened it. "Please come in, both of you!" Feng Yan turned sideways and made a "please" gesture.
Although Chu Ci didn't know what Feng Yan was doing, she was already used to Feng Yan's nonsense. She shrugged slightly, winked at Fan Jingrui, and followed Feng Yan's instructions into the Feng Mansion.
As soon as you enter, what comes into view is a pond full of lotus flowers.
However, it was already autumn, the lotus flowers had long since withered and most of the lotus leaves had dried up, leaving only some broken branches and leaves floating on the water. The scene not only lacked any beauty, but instead looked a bit bleak and desolate, and not very pretty.
Chu Ci wanted to pretend he couldn't see it, as if the pond didn't exist, but Feng Yan insisted on taking the couple for a leisurely walk around the pond three times.
Chu Ci's patience was worn out bit by bit, and finally she could no longer hold it in. She frowned, and said helplessly and anxiously: "Feng Yan, Master Feng, can we talk straight?"
"You've been leading us in circles like this, and we're almost dizzy. We've racked our brains but still can't figure out what you're trying to do."
"I... the King of Qi?" Feng Yan was secretly preparing a speech in his mind as usual, but he never expected that he would blurt it out.
He was startled at first, then thought to himself that something was wrong and blamed himself for being so careless.
But thinking that this change might be due to Chu Ci, his face was filled with joy. "Boss, the two of you follow me to the study."
After Feng Yan finished speaking, he gestured for them to come in, and then walked towards the study room impatiently. His steps were so hurried that they didn't have to worry about not being able to catch up.
Chu Ci looked at Feng Yan, who was obviously overly excited, not far ahead, and his steps hesitated slightly.
She frowned slightly, her face full of worry, turned her head, looked at Fan Jingrui beside her, and asked softly: "Husband, should we follow?"
"Feng Yan's excitement is really puzzling. It makes me feel that this matter is a bit weird. Is there any unknown trouble waiting for us?"
"Come on, now we're here." Fan Jingrui also noticed the weirdness, but he had complete faith in Feng Yan's character.
So he said, "Feng Yan is an upright person, so I don't think there is anything wrong. Even if there is something wrong, let's see what's going on."
As Fan Jingrui spoke, he pointed to the gate, as if to emphasize that since they had already come here, there was no reason to retreat.
Chu Ci secretly wondered if she was being forced into this. But seeing Fan Jingrui's determined expression, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow Feng Yan's footsteps.
But none of them expected that as soon as they entered the study, Feng Yan, without saying a word, solemnly bowed to Chu Ci.
This sudden action frightened Chu Ci so much that she jumped away. Her face was filled with astonishment, her eyes widened, and she shouted, "Feng Yan, what on earth are you trying to do? You're so startled!"
"Can we please explain things clearly first, instead of being so confusing?"
"Let's take our time with those empty formalities. There's no need to rush. My little heart can't stand your behavior!"
Unexpectedly, Feng Yan insisted: "No, you can accept this gift. This matter is of great importance. You must accept this gift for both emotional and logical reasons."
As he spoke, he bowed to Chu Ci again. Seeing that Chu Ci was trying to hide, he quickly said, "You don't accept the greeting, so we can't continue the conversation."
