Chapter 2

  "Follow Ben Hou into the mansion." The young master looked at her staring blankly at the door sign, so he simply pulled her and went into the mansion.

  Halfway through, they ran into a few maids, who immediately dragged her to the side and instructed: "Change her clothes, then take her to see the old lady."

  "Yes, Lord Hou."

  The little phoenix girl who is now confused by others has decided on a course of action in the shortest time, and will first observe the changes.

  This young master doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives towards her, and on the way here he said something that made her suspect there's more to it, so she can stay and observe the situation, listen to some gossip, and probably there won't be any problems with personal safety.

  Yahuan's quality is really beyond words, very high!

  Give her a bath and change clothes, very comprehensive, very thorough, very fast.

  However, after putting on the rich family's brocade clothes and jade belt, Little Phoenix felt that walking was a bit risky, so she simply picked up the hem of her dress which was getting in the way.

  I don't know what kind of heart these people have for letting their daughters wear such long skirts, are they trying to murder or be murdered?

  Lu Xiaofeng, who had just stepped into the room with a swing of her skirt, hadn't even had time to take in the situation when she heard a loud, emotional and excited cry, "Chun'er, my Chun'er..."

  Lu Xiaofeng raised his head and scanned the room, finally confirming that the elderly noblewoman being supported by two maidservants was staring at him with tears in her eyes. His heart immediately began to sweat profusely.

  Mrs. Pong excitedly rushed over and hugged Little Phoenix Maiden, then started crying.

  Lu Xiaofeng was inexplicably pounced on and stiffly held in her arms, his eyes looking towards the young Master Hou who had dragged him back, hoping he could provide some inspiration.

  Mrs. Pang cried for a while, then slowly stopped, took a few steps back, and with red eyes, she wiped away her tears, muttering to herself: "No, my Chun'er is gone, you are not my Chun'er."

  Lu Xiaofeng hastily nodded and took the opportunity to reveal his identity, "Commoner Lu Xiaofeng has met with Old Madam."

  Mrs. Pang carefully sized her up, nodding as she did so, "She looks like her, just like my Chun'er."

  At this time, the young master finally walked over, supported his mother and advised: "If you like her, just keep her to accompany you."

  It's indeed the privileged class of ancient times, her own opinions were completely ignored.

  "How can this be good? This girl also has a family."

  "Just let her go and tell her parents about it, can our household still mistreat her?"

  Mrs. Pang patted her son's hand, signaling him to calm down, and looked at Little Phoenix with a benevolent gaze, saying: "Where are you from, miss?"

  The woman is from Liuzhou.

  "How did people from Liuzhou end up in Beijing?"

  "After Father's death, the year's scenery in our hometown was not good, so we moved to the capital city."

  "So it seems like there's no one at home? Do you have any relatives in Beijing?"

  Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, feeling a little melancholy in his heart. With his mother dead and father gone, he had no relatives at all, and now he was truly a lone wolf.

  Madam Pang's eyes lit up with joy, she pulled her hand over and patted it gently: "Since you have nowhere to go, then stay in the mansion."

  Lu Xiaofeng hesitated, thinking that although the status of a commoner was lower, it was still much better than being a servant girl. So, regardless of the outcome, she had to politely decline, "Madam, I won't be serving anyone, I actually wanted to go to the capital to do some small business."

  Mrs. Pang smiled and shook her head, "You have the same face as Chun'er, how can you be a servant, of course, you are the one being served."

  "It's not right for a commoner like you to disturb the mansion without any relation or reason."

  "What's the hurry, I'll just acknowledge you as my adopted daughter then."

  With the surname of this family, Lu Xiaofeng also didn't want to get involved with them. If it were a different dynasty, she might have gone along with it, but this is the Song Dynasty, and especially now that she still hasn't figured out whether it's Old Bao's era or not, so she definitely can't be careless.

  "Madam, Tai Shifu is back."

  Lu Xiaofeng's heart was filled with a sense of foreboding, this official title seemed more and more ominous.

  "This is infuriating! That Blackie Bao..."

  When she heard the words from the mouth of that old man who was carrying a body full of fire, Little Phoenix suddenly felt that her whole person was not good.

  Shrimp rice?

  What's wrong with you?

  This is definitely during the Kaifeng Prefecture period, this is definitely a situation where Bao and Pang are enemies, she's being forced to stand on the wrong team, right?

  Pang Taishi soon discovered the girl his wife was holding, and he couldn't continue to curse Bao Heizi anymore. His face was full of astonishment, "This is... exactly like my little daughter who drowned to death."

  "Miss Lu Xiaofeng pays her respects to the Grand Master."

  Mr. Pong looked at his wife with inquiring eyes.

  Madam Pang smiled and said, "It's rare for this child to look exactly like Chun'er, and she doesn't have a father or mother. I think it's better to just adopt her as my goddaughter, raising her by my side is also a comfort."

  Mr. Pong hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement, "Since that's the case, I'll follow Madam's instructions."

  Damn it!

  Why doesn't anyone ask for her opinion as a party involved? Little Phoenix is so angry that she wants to punch the wall.

  Then the Pong family, after making a unilateral decision in a pleasant manner, formally conducted an identification ceremony and even changed their name, almost entering the ancestral temple.

  Luckily, it didn't happen.

  The reason why the ancestral tablet was not completed lies with Little Phoenix. She spoke sincerely to Master Pang, "Although my parents have passed away, I still need to pay respects at their graves during festivals. Moreover, my father had said before his death that he hoped I would give birth to a son and a daughter in the future to inherit the incense of the Lu family."

  As it was said up to this point, Master Pong gave affirmation to her filial piety, so the matter of entering the ancestral records is settled.

  Originally, the imperial teacher thought that this girl was an orphan with no relatives, so she might as well raise her as her own. However, it turned out that the girl's late father had made a certain request before his death, which couldn't be forced.

  Unexpectedly, he also discovered that this adopted daughter of his was well-versed in literature and had beautiful handwriting, which surprised the Emperor even more.

  Lu Xiaofeng's ability to write a good calligraphy was due to her grandfather, An Lao Yezi, who had a lifelong love for calligraphy and passed it down to his granddaughter, making Song Dynasty books no problem for Little Phoenix.

  As for other things like playing musical instruments, chess, painting and so on, don't hold out any hope, the girl isn't good at those things.

  Admittedly, he had acknowledged them as his foster parents, but could only address them as "dad" and "mom", which was somewhat at odds with reality. However, the old couple insisted, and Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to be too stubborn, after all, when you're under someone's roof, you have to lower your head.

  After recognizing relatives, we must implement the household registration problem in Kaifeng.

  Xiao Feng's suggestion was immediately accepted by Tai Shi, and he instructed the housekeeper to take care of it.

  Thus, without Little Phoenix's knowledge, an additional page was added to her household registration with a note about her alias, detailing when she was adopted by Master Pong as his goddaughter Mengji and who the witness was.

  Xiaofeng's nickname is Pang Xiuyue.

  Pang Xiuyu, this is Xiao Feng's new identity in the Pang Mansion.

  Lu Xiaofeng was entangled in her heart. She could easily accept the name Lu Xiaofeng, after all, she had borrowed someone else's body.

  But, this new identity of Pang Xiuyu is really unwanted.

  How can she go see her idol Bao Qingtian now?

  Just thinking about it in the future when people mention her behind her back, saying "Pang Laozei's daughter must not be a good thing either", I couldn't help but have a bloody face.

  That young master who looks quite capable is actually that short-lived and doomed Anle Hou Pong Yu.

  You look like a decent person, how can you do such things that make people angry and resentful, paving the way for yourself to go to hell?

  Forced to become Miss Pong's little phoenix girl, I've been feeling a bit melancholy these past few days.

  Every time I see Pang Yu, I have an urge to beat him up so badly that he can't take care of himself.

  Pong Tai Shi originally had two sons and two daughters. The eldest son died in battle, which can also be considered a heroic death. The eldest daughter is now a noble concubine in the palace, also known as Empress Pong in later generations' films and TV dramas. The second daughter drowned in an artificial lake in their backyard garden when she was 28 years old. And Pong Yu is the youngest son of Tai Shi, now also the only one left, no wonder Old Bao was so heartbroken when he was granted the title of Anle Hou by Emperor Taizong.

  According to the news from Little Phoenix, that Miss Pong who was as lovely as a flower in her youth, is gentle and refined, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, filial to her parents, and loving to her siblings, she is simply the best little cotton-padded jacket for Mr. and Mrs. Pong.

  Unfortunately, before Master Pong could choose a suitable marriage for his beloved daughter, the second young lady passed away.

  Madam Pong fell ill from this and was sick for three years; no matter what medicine she took, it had no effect.

  For Mrs. Pang's heart disease, Master Pang and his son really spent a lot of thought, until Pang Yu picked up Lu Xiaofeng on the road.

  Life is full of unexpected surprises.

  Heaven uses its mighty whirlwind to prove that all things in the world are possible.

  Walking dead, can pass through; standing by the road, being picked up by people.

  Fortunately, I didn't sink to the point of being robbed like that civilian woman who was robbed.

  Lu Xiaofeng was truly delighted.

  Life is always fulfilling in comparison!

  Although being adopted by Tai Shi was not what she had wished for in her heart, at least she finally had a backer in this great Song Dynasty.

  It's better to have a backer in this era, it makes life easier.

  As long as that kid Pang Yun doesn't stir up trouble in Chenzhou, and Master Pang doesn't get involved in treasonous schemes, the Pangs are actually a pretty good ally to have.

  Pang Yu is a man who doesn't dawdle, just as Lu Xiaofeng was thinking of him, he arrived from afar.

  This handsome young man, only sixteen years old, is at an age prone to rebellion and waywardness. Born into a wealthy family, he is now the sole heir of his household, so it's normal for him to have some of the bad habits typical of spoiled rich kids.

  If guided properly at this time, it might be possible to avoid the Soft Red Hall affair in Chenzhou.

  Lu Xiaofeng began to ponder the feasibility of this matter, she was now being forced into the identity of "Miss Pong", of course it's still best not to have a brother like An Le Hou from "The Legend of Judge Bao" otherwise it would be really embarrassing to meet her idol.

  Recently, Comrade Lao Bao has just beautifully handled the strange case of a weasel swapping princes, and is currently in the limelight. Therefore, these past few days, Master Pang's heart has been feeling increasingly anxious and depressed.

  As a newly appointed Miss Pong, Little Phoenix is still adapting to her new identity and cannot yet fully play the role of a considerate and caring daughter.

  Especially when she doesn't want to be a good wife and take care of her husband at all, it's even more impossible for her to perform normally.

  "Third Sister." Pang Yun called out to Lu Xiaofeng as he met her gaze.

  This child is still quite dignified at home, how did he become so cruel when he was sent to deliver relief supplies?

  "Where did you come from?" Looks like you just came back from outside.

  "Went out with friends and had some drinks."

  Good friends and good times, Luk Siu Fung understands.

  "Come, sit, have a glass of water."

  Pang Yu sat down beside her and took a cup of water she had poured, drinking it all in one gulp. He quite liked San Jie's homemade iced black tea, cool and refreshing.

  Lu Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "It's so boring staying in the mansion all day, can I go out and take a walk?"

  Pang Yu thought for her and said: "It's so hot today, forget it."

  "My heart is calm and it's all right. I can go out, can't I?" She doesn't want to be a daughter-in-law of the Pang family just because she doesn't want to take action without freedom, dear.

  Pang Yu nodded, "Tell your mother and let the housekeeper accompany her, it's fine."

  "Alright, I understand."

  Pang Yu drank another cup of iced black tea before asking: "Sister, where are you planning to go?"

  "Go to the tea house to listen to storytelling."

  "Why don't we invite Tea Doctor to come and talk at our place?"

  "You don't understand, I've heard that going to a teahouse is all about that atmosphere, which is something you can't get at home."

  "When is sister going?"

  Tomorrow.

  "Alright."
