Chapter 122 The B-character scroll is not well-known (fifth update!)
Feng Ziying felt a pain in her head when she heard it.
Beyond the Great Wall, big business? Don't make any mistakes, but with your father's temperament, you won't go beyond the bottom line.
Before going to the academy, because he was busy with various things, he didn't bother to know about his family's business in Datong. His impression was that there were only a few shops and a few Zhuangzi. He didn't hear that there was any business dealings with outside the Great Wall.
My father wouldn't be so careless, he would have to let others catch him with such a big deal.
“Well, during the time I was studying, did anyone come to the house?”
Yun Shang naturally understood what Feng Ziying meant. There have been many people coming to the house in the past month or so, and the young master asked about matters related to him.
“Here, there is a post here, saying that it is not well-known.” Yun Shang had already taken the post over.
The font is beautiful, lively and elegant.
“Isn’t it well-known?” Feng Ziying was funny.
This girl is actually playing a mystery with herself now, but this is a good thing.
He was certain that although the writing was beautiful, it was definitely not her usual handwriting. He had also told her to stay with others and be careful in everything, so as not to be taken advantage of.
“Well, Ruixiang brought it back, and even the master and his wife don’t know about it.” Yun Shang also had some confusion on her face.
Between the old man, his wife, and the young master, she knew that she was not welcomed, but the more unpopular she was with her wife, the more she had to rely on the young master.
It was fortunate that the young master was a tolerant person, otherwise he would have been driven to the back room, and there was no way he would even be pulled out to be matched with someone else. Thinking of this, Yun Shang shuddered.
Feng Mansion is so big that no one can hide any disturbance.
Since I relied on my wife, I couldn’t see how good she was. Naturally, I still saw Feng Ziying getting more and more mature in the Feng Mansion and preparing to light up the cold stove.
Many people in the house knew about Feng Ziying's doting on Yun Shang. It would be a violation of heaven to dare to talk to his wife over a girl, but he actually got through it like this.
Yun Shang was not kicked out. When did your wife become so easy to talk to? Besides the attitude of the young master, who else could be there?
After this incident, some people naturally began to wonder, what if this charming Yun Shang really becomes the man in the young master's house in the future?
So for more than a month, although Yun Shang has been hiding in the courtyard and dare not go out, she can still hear some news from some people's words, especially the attitude of the master and his wife whom she cares about most.
“Ruixiang brought it back?” Feng Ziying was surprised.
"He said it was given to him by a little girl. He only said that he was an old friend of Linqing. He was not well-known. He asked the young master not to forget his promise when he returned to the city." Yun Shang remembered this passage very clearly, but after receiving the post, she asked Ruixiang I forgot everything about it.
Feng Ziying couldn't help scratching her head.
This promise has really become a curse.
The little girl was all alone in Jia's house, so she seemed to place her soul on herself.
If you don’t go, it doesn’t make sense either emotionally or rationally, but if you want to go, there must be a reason.
Leave aside the differences between men and women, the girl is still young, but I can't just rely on being the other person's savior and go visit her again and again.
If this kind of thing happens a few times, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious.
I am not Jia Baoyu, so I cannot go in and out of Jia's house at will. I have to have a suitable reason to go.
I have nothing to do with Jia Baoyu. Jia Lian does have some friendship, but he can't take the initiative to say that he wants to visit him. Maybe they really think that he wants to marry his sister, which would be bad.
“Ruixiang goes out a lot during this time?” Feng Ziying pondered for a moment.
With Ruixiang's temperament, he could not believe that he could be trapped in the courtyard all day like Yun Shang.
However, this guy knows what he is doing and doesn't dare to act recklessly. If he can send a message through him and do something like this, it can still be done.
Previously, her mother said that she was going to the temple to offer incense tomorrow and asked him to accompany her. He was forced to agree. If he let the girl go to the temple too, he could find a chance to meet her and exchange a few words, which would grant her her wish. .
“Go and call Ruixiang.” Thinking of this, Feng Ziying asked Yun Shang to call Ruixiang.
There are still a few people around him. Look at how many servants, boys and boys there are around Jia Baoyu. There is no comparison. This is the gap.
Feng Ziying shook his head. It was not that he envied Jia Baoyu's treatment, but he was wondering if the Jia family would really decline in the future, and he didn't know how a dandy like Jia Baoyu would live.
He didn't believe the endings mentioned in "A Dream of Red Mansions" such as becoming a beggar or becoming a monk. It was obvious that it was Cao Gong's imaginary writing technique.
These days, a big family either slowly declines, sells its land, sells its yard, sells its village, and eventually becomes a shabby settlement like those bannermen on the edge of Forty-Nine City in the late Qing Dynasty, or it suddenly falls down and becomes a corpse among the carvings. The vultures serve their meals.
If the Jia family is really involved in the unspeakable matter of the Tian family seizing the throne, I'm afraid the latter is more likely.
"Master, do you want to send a message to the Jia family?" Ruixiang actually knew who Feng Ziying wanted to send the message to, but he did not dare to point it out. He said with a bitter face: "Second Master Lian, Xing'er, Zhao'er, I and I are still here." We are quite familiar with Long'er, and I am most familiar with Zhao'er, but I am not familiar with other people in the house, not to mention that I don't dare to leave such matters to Zhao'er."
This is a problem. Communication is not convenient these days. If you can't send a message well, it must be known to everyone.
Besides, a house like Jia Mansion, with its gates tightly guarded, would be extremely difficult for an outsider to send a message inside, and to send a message to a boudoir lady who lives there.
"Aren't you having a fierce fight with Jia's family? Isn't there any way to do it? Is there no way to control it in front of your father?" Feng Ziying also knew that this matter was difficult to handle, but he also heard that several people under Jia Lian were fighting with Jia Lian. Ruixiang is very warm.
He generally knew what the plan was, and it was nothing more than to find out what the Feng family thought of his marriage. Feng Ziying had already told Ruixiang about this when he left home to study. There was no need to refuse, and they could be friends.
Ruixiang was anxious and hesitant.
“Why, are you looking down on me in front of me?” Feng Ziying sneered, “Is it because you think your skin is thick and your life is in danger?”
With a plop, Ruixiang fell to the ground and kowtowed, "Sir, little one..."
Feng Ziying was really surprised. She just saw that this guy was a little guilty, and he was just cheating. Why did this guy kneel down and kowtow? Could it be that there was something weird and fishy?
"Tell me, I'm sorry you can't do anything earth-shattering." Feng Ziying was really curious at this time. He knew Ruixiang well. He had a lively temper, but he was not very courageous. If he dared to do something He wouldn't believe anything treacherous or treasonous.
"Sir, I have been going to Jia's house a lot in the past few days, and I have become familiar with it." Ruixiang knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. He just kowtowed, "That day, Grandpa Lian Er drank wine and let Zhaoer called the younger one and asked about the master..."
“Brother Lian asked you about my affairs?” Feng Ziying wondered.
"Second Master Lian probably drank too much. He asked a lot of random questions. I asked him if you were married and if there was anyone suitable for you. How dare you answer randomly? I just said that I don't know. That is the matter of the master and his wife. , Brother Lian asked if my wife was the one who made the final decision on all these things in the house. I didn’t dare to reply, so I found an excuse and ran away..."
Feng Ziying could also make a rough guess in her mind, guessing that the Jia family really wanted to marry Jia Yingchun to herself.
That day, I had already had some intention of dragging myself to the house for a drink, but now I am thinking about another idea to attack my mother.
Not to mention anything else, according to what is written in the book, Jia Yingchun’s temperament is honest and cowardly, will he be able to manage such a large Feng Mansion in the future? I'm afraid my mother likes such a weak-tempered daughter-in-law.
Feng Ziying felt a little frightened when she thought of this.
These days, it is really the parents who order the matchmaker. If I really decide this matter behind my back and discuss the marriage with the Jia family, it is really hard to go back on it.
You must vaccinate me as soon as possible. There is no way that she can't marry and be a big wife.
But just for this matter, you won’t have to make this guy kneel down and kowtow, right?
“Well, what else is there?” Feng Ziying leaned on the back of the chair and glanced sideways at the guy.
"Later, when the younger one was leaving the house, a girl stopped me and asked Mr. Lian what he wanted to do with me. Naturally, the younger one couldn't tell me. We argued for a while, but later I found out that it was the second master of the Jia family. The girl’s eldest maid is called Si Qi, she is very fierce,..."
“Continue.” Si Qi? Feng Ziying did not expect that the characters from the second edition of The Twelve Beauties of Red Mansions would also appear.
It was really dazzling when he entered Jia's house that day, and etiquette did not allow him to look around, so except for Daiyu, Sanchun, Wang Xifeng, and Li Wan, he really didn't pay much attention to other people like the maids.
“Later, a little girl came to make friends…”
Mark the key points, little maid.
Feng Ziying thought, since Ruixiang said that she was a big maid and very fierce, it was unlikely that she had anything to do with Si Qi, and it would probably fall on this little maid.
“…, one day later, I met this little girl again at the corner gate of Jia Mansion…”
Jia Lian asked Ruixiang to find out about the situation. Feng Ziying had given instructions to him to go, and told him truthfully that he wanted to study and take the imperial examination, so it was okay to go to the Jia Mansion, but he never thought that he would be able to go there. The little maid was hooked up.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying was both funny and angry.
They all said that being next to the red building, the beauty would definitely have nothing to worry about. Unexpectedly, before I even "took action", my servant boy did it first.
But I guess it's just a little friendship, Liang Ruixiang doesn't dare to cross the line. This guy is a month younger than me, does he have that ability?
“What’s that little girl’s name?” Feng Ziying couldn’t help but ask.
“Call Lian Hua’er.” Ruixiang muttered, his voice almost inaudible.
“Lotus?” Feng Ziying was completely unimpressed.
He had some impressions of Siqi, the eldest maid who welcomed the spring. After all, this girl was very fierce, and the scene where she made a scene in the kitchen was very eye-catching. There was also the suspected derivative of her affair with her cousin Pan Youan, the spring bag, which triggered a raid on the Grand View Garden. , is also a big event. Anyone who has watched "Dream of Red Mansions" should have an impression.
"She's Miss Jia Er's little maid." Ruixiang kowtowed again, "I've never had anything with her. We just got to know each other a little bit, and we just chatted back and forth."
This guy, Feng Ziying, was so angry and funny. She actually thought that she knew about the affair between him and the little maid, so she was so panicked.
“Humph, you are so young, but you are so deceitful, do you really want to seek death?” Feng Ziying snorted coldly, “My mother’s eyes cannot be touched. If my wife finds out, be careful!”
His head banged on the green bricks, but Ruixiang didn't dare to speak. Seeing Ruixiang's forehead turn black, Feng Ziying couldn't bear it, "Okay, stop pretending to be a kowtow, I still have some serious things for you to do." .”
Hearing that Feng Ziying relaxed, Ruixiang kowtowed three more times and said: "Master, I don't dare to do anything, just because I am afraid of losing my face..."
"Yes, you don't want to act here. My face is worthless." Feng Ziying quickly stopped. If this guy gave him three points of love, he would dare to be popular and have to beat him at any time, "Then Lianhua'er and Lin Are you familiar with the girl's side?"
Ruixiang hesitated for a moment, tilted his head and thought for a while before saying: "I'm afraid I can't say we are familiar with each other, but I think we have some contacts. I asked, Miss Lin doesn't like to go out very much, and Miss Jia Er doesn't like to go out too much either." I love going out, so..."
"How to send a message?" Feng Ziying pondered: "Are you familiar with the lotus and the rhododendron?"
“Lian Huaer and Miss Zicuckoo are not very familiar with each other, but Siqi is very familiar with Zicuckoo.” Ruixiang naturally understood the young master’s thoughts, “But Siqi is not someone to be trifled with,…”
"Get up." Feng Ziying stood up and thought about it, "If you can come up with an idea, I will bypass you."
Ruixiang stood up with a grimace and said, "Sir, how can you think of anything for such a small matter? Then Miss Lin usually just hugs you and gives her the cat, and doesn't talk much. She never leaves the house. Mai, if anything happens, that girl Zicuckoo will come out. I heard that the cat is also very sleepy these days..."
“Oh?” Feng Ziying’s heart moved slightly.
After thinking for a while, he stood up, picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of paper. He wrote it with one wave and handed it to Ruixiang.
"Go to Jia Mansion, give this prescription to Zhao'er, and tell her that the cat that saw Miss Lin that day was sick. By chance, she asked for a prescription specifically for treating cats from Dahuguo Temple. It is extremely effective. , and asked him to hand it over to Zijuan. The original words were conveyed to,..."
There must be a reason to go to Jia's house to see and deliver prescriptions. It is impossible for such maids to see outsiders without a reason. It is impossible to come and go at will. But if Lin Daiyu's lion cat is sick, there will naturally be a reason. There's a reason. It makes sense to give him a prescription.
