863 Getting Married (4)
“What do you know? This thing is called a pass!” Luo Tan said, “It’s different from the one used in the military camp. This is very accurate. It’s something from the far east. It’s said that it’s only used in the fleet now. Cousin Ling brought ten back and said that he wanted the craftsmen to make more for the army. It took me a lot of effort to get one. If you don’t want it, forget it!”
Shen Miao quickly closed the box. “Thank you.”
Luo Tan curled her lips. “Little Cousin, you don’t lack anything to begin with, and Prince Rui gave you such a big betrothal gift. If I give you jewelry, I’ll only embarrass myself, so I thought I’d give you something more practical. Take this pass. You are unfamiliar with the Daliang Dynasty. If you lost your way one day, it could e in handy.”
Shen Miao smiled. “That makes sense. This is more special than gold and silver jewelry.”
Luo Tan looked at Feng Anning smugly. “Miss Feng, what did you prepare? Show us. If it’s gold, silver, or jewelry, take it back. It’s too boring.”
Feng Anning glared at her and said indignantly, “What’s a pass worth? Our Feng family has everything. Why would I give Shen Miao those tacky things?”
She opened her box and took out a small bottle from it. She said, “There are three Guiyuan Pills here. Do you know about Guiyuan Pills? It’s something made by a great psychician of the previous dynasty that can extend one’s life. It’s priceless.” She placed the bottle and the box in Shen Miao’s hand and said, “While you are in Ming Qi, you’ve been harmed a few times. I think it’s more likely to happen when you go to the Daliang Dynasty. If anything god forbid should happen to you, just take one. It can save your life.” Then, she added, “But I think you can live for a long time.”
Shen Miao smiled. “Thank you.” Feng Anning wasn’t good with words, but her intention was good. Fu Xiuyi had once bribed an aide he wanted to rope in with one Guiyuan Pill. One pill was worth a talent, which showed how valuable it was. Feng Anning was really generous to give her three pills.
When Feng Anning heard this, her eyes turned red. She said, “I don’t know if we’ll be able to see each other again in this life. You don’t have many friends in Ming Qi. Since we are friends, I naturally can’t give you something shabby to embarrass you…” As she spoke, she choked and continued, “It’s not that I can’t bear to part with you, but I just feel that you can’t return a gift when I get married. It’s really not a good bargain…”
Shen Miao was caught between laughter and tears and said, “When you get married, I’ll definitely get someone to send you a gift. I’ll also write to you from time to time.”
Only then did Feng Anning feel better.
Shen Miao suddenly thought of something and took out a letter from her sleeve. She said to Feng Anning, “I have one now. After my wedding is over, read this letter and let your brother read it.”
Luo Tan and Feng Anning were stunned at the same time. Luo Tan smiled and said, “Little Cousin, do you feel sorry for Brother Feng? Back then, you didn’t agree to Brother Feng’s marriage proposal, so you specially wrote a letter to express your apology?” After saying that, she shook her head. “But why did you let Anning read it?”
Shen Miao said, “If you’re in trouble in the future, look for my brother. My brother will help.” Shen Miao remembered that in her previous life, the Feng family did not have a good ending. Feng Anning even married a guy with a human face and a beast heart. In the end, she died at a young age. In this life, she and Feng Anning were friends after all. She could only write a letter to remind the Feng family of everything. If Feng Anning showed this letter to her parents, they would only think that Feng Anning was fooling around, but it was different if Feng Zixian showed it. After all, Feng Zixian had already bee an official. Mr. Feng believed in Feng Zixian’s talent and would treat this letter seriously.
