With a wave of his hand, the Prince's Mansion's fortune exploded throughout the entire cap

The people on the street were all looking at the cartload of goods and discussing it enthusiastically.

"This one looks like the second young master of Prince Jing's mansion!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the tall man in blue brocade robes standing at the door.

"The Jing Prince's Mansion? Wasn't the eldest son of the Jing Prince's Mansion said to be the top scorer in this year's imperial examination? Then why is the second son here?"

Someone in the crowd whispered loudly, "What kind of talk is that? People wouldn't come here to cause trouble for no reason!"

"What do you mean? What did the Marquis of Guangping's residence do?"

The man raised his hand to cover his mouth, casually mentioning, "When I was picking up copper coins at the entrance of Prince Jing's mansion, I saw people from Marquis Guangping's mansion following behind the messenger to deliver invitations!"

The people around him were stunned: "Following behind the messenger to deliver invitations?"

"The eldest son of Prince Jing's mansion is first in the examination, while the son of Marquis Guangping's mansion is second? What's going on?"

"I suspect it's because the eldest son of Prince Jing's mansion is in poor health and may not be able to hold on for much longer."

"You want to trample on Prince Jing's mansion, don't you?"

A woman clapped her hands: "The Marquis of Guangping's family says their lucky star was born on the third day of the third lunar month, but I heard that the Prince of Jing's family also had their daughter, whom they celebrated with such a grand ceremony, born on the third day of the third lunar month. These two families are at odds!"

"Hey, place your bets now, who's the real lucky charm?"

"?? This can be used for pressure?"

"What if we make a profit?"

Only after hearing everything he wanted to hear did Gu Feng, who had been standing with his eyes half-closed while holding his sword, open his eyes and speak loudly towards the gate of the Guangping Marquis's residence:

"Lord Guangping, Second Young Master Bai, this is tea I'm sending you! So that your people won't have to rush to my Prince Jing's residence to beg for tea!"

After saying that, Jianfeng opened the bag on the cart.

Someone recognized the tea leaves: "Wow, so many big tea leaves, young master, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."

The crowd laughed; these were tea leaves, collected from several teahouses.

Seeing that the gates of the Marquis of Guangping's residence remained tightly shut, Gu Feng's eyes hardened with even more hostility: "What? You dare not come out and accept this gift from my Prince Jing's residence?"

Still receiving no response, Gu Feng flew directly onto the top of their wall: "Yo. Everyone's here?"

"Lord Guangping, you've sent so many people to stand behind this gate, yet you don't even dare to utter a sound."

"That's true, after all, you were a coward back then who wouldn't even dare to go to the battlefield!"

Mentioning his reluctance to go to the battlefield three years ago, Gu Feng returned to the main gate of the Marquis of Guangping's residence.

Just as he drew his sword, he heard his third brother's voice beside him.

"Second brother, there's another gift here for the Marquis of Guangping."

Everyone looked at the young prince who had hurriedly arrived on horseback, and many bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."

After dismounting, the young prince Xiao Yu waved to the blue stone behind him.

Two large boxes were placed at the entrance of the Guangping Marquis's residence, straight ahead on the bluestone path.

"Lord Guangping, my lord and princess felt sorry for Young Master Bai after seeing the lampblack ink on the invitation, so they sent a lot of pine soot ink to the Marquis's residence. Although it's not the finest pine soot ink, it's still much better than that lampblack ink. Consider it a congratulatory gift for Young Master Bai!"

Qing Shi had been a member of Xiao's army for many years, and when he spoke loudly, even people at the end of the street could hear him clearly.

Although Gu Feng disliked reading, he knew that lamp wicks and ink were only used by students from poor families.

For a noble family to use such ink to write an invitation and send it to a prince's residence is simply courting death!

Gu Feng's gaze towards the plaque of the Guangping Marquis's residence instantly turned murderous.

"Bang—"

Before anyone could react, Gu Feng leaped forward and kicked down the plaque of "Guangping Marquis's Residence," then slashed it in half with his sword.

He then stepped directly onto the plaque and walked towards Xiao Yu: "Third brother, a coward who doesn't even dare to go to the battlefield is not worthy of your personal presence."

In the ensuing silence, Xiao Yu took Gu Feng's hand and said, "Second Brother, let's go back to the Prince's Mansion after we've vented our anger."

After they left, someone in the crowd spoke up: "Good heavens... the plaque of the Marquis of Guangping's residence was slashed by a sword?"

"It's not like it was bestowed by the emperor, why are you so upset?"

"Exactly, didn't you hear? They wrote the invitations with lamp kerosene ink; it's a miracle the people from Prince Jing's residence didn't spill the ink on the Marquis of Guangping and his wife!"

"However, can't the censor also submit a memorial?"

An old man looked at the scholar who had spoken and said, "Scholar, you're obviously from out of town, aren't you? No one in the Prince Jing's mansion needs to attend court now."

"Nobody's here..."

The scholar lowered his head and murmured to himself.

Upon arriving at the Prince Jing's residence, Gu Feng immediately knelt down in the hall.

"Grandmother, Father, I acted impulsively."

Xiao Chengyan looked at the tall child in front of him, and straightened his clothes: "You were indeed impulsive today. Some things are not appropriate to say in this situation."

Gu Feng gently pursed his lips: "Father, I have no regrets. I wanted to do this three years ago."

The war in the southwest came suddenly that year. My aunt's wedding had only ended two days before my grandfather and father rushed back on horseback.

However, the enemy came with overwhelming force, breaking through several of the Xiao family army's formations and suffering heavy losses.

After the emperor had not heard any news of a successful repelling of the enemy for seven consecutive days, he ordered the Marquis of Guangping and the Marquis of Wuning to lead an army of 50,000 men south from the central region to reinforce the area.

However, before the eunuch who was to deliver the imperial decree arrived, the Marquis of Guangping fell off his horse and had to stay in bed for a month.

There weren't many military generals in the capital, and because of the disturbance caused by the Marquis of Guangping, the time to send reinforcements to the southwest was delayed by a day.

On that very day, the enemy suddenly appeared with 50,000 troops, trapping Prince Jing and his two sons in a valley and on a cliff, respectively.

This led to the current state of Prince Jing's residence:

My father suffered two broken legs and could only use a wheelchair; my uncle suffered a broken right hand and could no longer lift his spear, and became depressed; my grandfather was pierced by thousands of arrows while trying to save my uncle and fell off a cliff.

Fang Yuhua sighed: "Feng'er, your eldest brother and younger sister have already gone to the slums on the outskirts of Beijing to distribute porridge. Go and take the doctor from the manor clinic to provide free medical care. Remember to take good care of your eldest brother and younger sister."

"grandmother?"

Gu Feng was quite surprised. No, should he be punished?

"You've always been a genuine child. Today is your elder brother's special day, so I won't punish you. Go now."

After hearing his grandmother's words, Gu Feng looked at Xiao Chengyan again: "Father..."

"Go ahead, it's fine."

Suburbs of Beijing.

Xiao Jingjing and Zhou Rui stood behind the people distributing porridge, occasionally adding a couple of pieces of firewood to the stove.

"Big brother, why are these people a little dirty?"

Zhou Rui reached out and touched his younger sister who was clinging tightly to him: "Jingjing, these people don't have their own houses or buckets, so they can't take a bath. If they want to bathe, they can only jump into the river. So it's a bit dirty."

Okay. It's because there's no other way; it's not that I can't wash it.

Many of these people are girls...

Xiao Jingjing frowned as she looked at the crowd queuing in front of her.

That person...
