Chapter 9: Never to leave the residence

At this time of year, pears are indeed transported from the south. Considering the transportation and labor costs, the price in the market is not low. Generally, ordinary families cannot afford such rare fruits. The Grand Tutor's residence naturally has them, but with many people, they are consumed quickly.

Even though we are both biological children, just because Qin Yun has entered the officialdom, I must become his stepping stone, trampled upon for his smooth ascent to success

This old woman has also been a long-time servant in the household, one of the few subordinates who treats him with respect. Qin Feng embraced her with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work." The old woman was taken aback by the honor, repeatedly saying she did not dare, her face turning pale.

Feng Bao expressed his dissatisfaction on behalf of the young master, but he also knew that he could not compete with Lang Yu, so he could only indignantly say: "What is there to be proud of? When our young master establishes himself and leaves home, he will be able to buy whatever he wants!"

The servants of the Chang family are all aware of this matter, but his biological mother, fearing that it would sadden him, has kept it a secret from him. He still believes that he has the opportunity to leave the family, but in reality, his father had long since cut off that path.

Before he could speak, Feng Bao hurriedly left, but at least he had a loyal companion by his side, which improved Qin Feng's mood considerably

On one hand, it serves to highlight the excellence of the eldest son through one's own incompetence; on the other hand, it allows for the care of the sickly younger brother by Chang and the library, ensuring he remains in the residence for permanent care, thereby gaining a good reputation. Although this reputation may seem worthless, it is valued by the current emperor and is beneficial for Qin Yun's career.

Qin Feng broke into a sweat upon hearing this; if Feng Bao does not change his temperament, he will surely become a hindrance in the future, and he actually spoke about it here!

"Young Master..." Feng Bao was startled by the sudden surge of hostility emanating from Qin Feng. After taking a step back, he said, "It would be better to go to the pharmacy to prepare the medicine sooner. Your health is of utmost importance, and no pear soup can compare to the efficacy of medicine!"

Feng Bao, Qin Feng looked at this young servant who had almost lost his life for his sake; he must be feeling sorrow for himself as well

Qin Feng furrowed his brows; the one speaking was Lang Yu, the personal servant of his elder brother Qin Yun, who was usually a boastful and arrogant character

Qin Feng felt a deep sorrow in his heart as he silently returned to his room. After a short while, Feng Bao returned with a look of disappointment on his face, his eyes still red, but he mustered his spirits and said: "Young Master, unfortunately, there are no snow pears in the residence today"

Although it is said that a gentleman takes revenge, even if it takes ten years, upon hearing the arrogant words of this Lang Yu, he could hardly contain his anger and wished to act immediately. However, thinking of what Xiao Lingyao mentioned about Qin Yun possibly forming a marriage bond with the daughter of Lord Ding from the Supervisory Office, he could only swallow his discontent, no matter how unjust it felt.

After Lang Yuzhi spoke arrogantly, he handed two snow pears to the cook, saying: "Quickly stew these for our master, as our young master is in a hurry to attend court. Unlike certain people's masters, who merely manage a medical clinic and have plenty of free time, our master is busy."

What do you mean by becoming independent? I see that unless your young master becomes a prince consort, he will only be able to stay in the Grand Tutor's residence for the rest of his life, watching our lord's expressions and indulging in grand dreams of spring and autumn

Qin Feng silently shook his head, a cold light flashing fiercely in his eyes

After experiencing these several dreams, he was frightened to the point of breaking out in a sweat, his back completely soaked. What was initially just an act has now truly caused him to catch a chill. Early in the morning, he coughed several times. Feng Bao was waiting outside the door and immediately said: "My lord, I will go to the kitchen to prepare some snow pear soup."

He has already clarified the sequence of events. Previously, he lived in a side courtyard, which had a draft, and his frail body could not withstand it. That is why his mother sought his father's help to move to a different courtyard. His father, the Grand Tutor, took this opportunity to make a request, and his mother was forced to comply with the arrangement.

Taking a step back, he could not possibly have boundless opportunities. Xiao Lingyao has exposed all his secrets, which poses a significant risk.

With Qin Yun's position in the officialdom, the presence of his inept younger brother serves as a contrast, making him appear even more radiant.

Feng Bao's face turned pale with anger. Meanwhile, Qin Feng was even more bewildered; Songzhu Courtyard was the place where he currently resided, and it was incomparably better than the places he had lived before. He had thought that his father had arranged this courtyard to help alleviate his suffering from illness.

Tsk, don't think that just because your second young master has improved in health and has opened some kind of medical clinic, and now doesn't know what means he has used to become a candidate for the prince consort, you, as his servant, can flaunt your power. Our master is an official appointed by the court, and his health is precious.

It was merely a common phrase of comfort, yet it ended up startling people. Qin Feng felt helpless; by the time he finished washing up, Feng Bao had still not returned

Upon realizing that this was a mere wishful thinking, Qin Feng rose to his feet. Without needing Feng Bao's assistance, he quickly tidied himself up. An elderly woman, who had been serving in their courtyard, entered with a basin of water for washing his face. She glanced at the frail Second Young Master, not looking down on him, but rather expressing a sense of regret.

With such a good appearance, yet a frail constitution and weak character, and without a responsible mother, how can one not be bullied in the household

Why should one refrain from leaving the residence

It turns out that ... was sought after by the mother, never to leave the Grand Tutor's residence. This is meant to ensure that one stays in the residence for a lifetime, serving as a backdrop for Qin Yun. Hahaha, the so-called father-son affection cannot withstand the test of interests.

Qin Feng's lips curled slightly, implying that he was destined to be treated as worthless

Who do you think you are? When has it ever been your turn to speak in the manor? What season is it now? This snow pear needs to be transported from the south; do you know what the market price is? Our young master—ugh—our esteemed master has also been coughing this morning. What makes you think this snow pear can be given to you?

Only he knows best how much he desires to be independent from the household, to experience the carefree days that he and his partner have fantasized about countless times, but the selfishness of his father, the Grand Tutor, has completely blocked this path

Damn it, Qin Feng couldn't help but curse with a modern catchphrase. The situation he was in was truly difficult to handle. How did he end up in this era where commerce was inferior to officialdom? Moreover, he was a sickly illegitimate son, lacking in both literary and martial skills, starting from such a low point.

Alas, if only we could bring Baidu Baike over, a smartphone with internet access, could it just fall from the sky from https://www.hetushucom.com

Seeing Feng Baoqiang suppressing his anger, Qin Feng's thoughts shifted slightly, and he managed to suppress the surge of blood in his chest

Fortunately, Lang Yu only took it as Feng Bao's temperamental words, mocking: "To establish your own household, how beautiful that sounds. Do you know why your young master was able to move to the Songzhu Courtyard? It was because your lady used her lifelong commitment to not establish her own household as the price to secure that for your young master"

Recalling the dream, Qin Feng closed his eyes. He found himself in a predicament, as advancing meant stepping into an unknown abyss. He was uncertain of what intentions Xiao Lingyao had, whether entangling himself with her was good or bad, but retreating?

What does it matter if the market price is high? Feng Bao thought that the young master certainly did not lack that little bit of silver. Unfortunately, she could not say it out loud, so she had to hold back and said: "Brother Lang has always been generous; after all, there are two of them."

Without any golden opportunities, I rely solely on the knowledge I brought from the modern era to make a living. Fortunately, my passion for investment has allowed me to earn quite a bit.

He simply went to the kitchen to look for him. As soon as he approached the kitchen, he heard a burst of curses coming from inside

Could he really assassinate Xiao Lingyao to silence her

When Feng Bao arrived, only the last two remained. Initially, he thought of taking one each with Lang Yu, but unexpectedly, Lang Yu said that one was not enough.
