Chapter 1245 Geng Zijuan Yuanchun (Second update please vote!)
Shen Yixiu was also touched by Feng Ziying's words. At the same time, she was also trying to figure out what her husband was thinking. Was it a reminder to herself that she shouldn't be too obsessed with these matters? Have a broader vision and be more magnanimous? She was a little unsure.
In the past, she could naturally ask clearly, but now that the Xue sisters have married in, the second wife and the eldest wife have become equal. Shen Yixiu feels that although her husband's favor towards her is still the same, it is inevitable that the Xue family will Sisters will also take away some of their husband's attention, so Shen Yixiu feels that she needs to consider her husband's perception more.
Especially when it comes to matters involving two wives, even if the husband doesn't pay too much attention to these matters, he will inevitably have some opinions and attitudes of his own. So, even if he wants to please his husband blindly, at least Shen Yixiu feels that he understands. It is very important to understand your husband's attitude and preferences in this regard.
"My husband said it easily. My aunt has also told me that there is no need to go to the house now, and some rules must be enforced. There is no room for people to laugh. Sister Baochai's words are exactly what my aunt meant. I also thought about it. It’s time to clarify things carefully and revise the rules so that I can give an explanation to the master and husband in the future.”
Shen Yixiu's words were somewhat probing. Feng Ziying could hear it and couldn't help laughing again, "Wan Jun, don't misunderstand the meaning of being a husband. I just said that my mother is such a person, but I didn't If you ask others to do the same, and if your mother is like this, it is because of your aunt's help. You and Baochai are different. I think Baoqin's mind is not on these things in the house..."
At this point, Feng Ziying stopped talking, but Shen Yixiu was very interested, "I have long heard that Sister Baoqin has been traveling with her elders since she was a child. She is well-informed and has a bit of the spirit of not being inferior to women. Although now Marrying into our Feng family, but since my husband said that this is not her ambition, she had a detailed discussion with the Xue family brother the day before yesterday, and sister Baoqin also participated. Could it be that she intends to let sister Baoqin also participate in making a living on behalf of our Feng family? "
Shen Yixiu's words suddenly made Feng Ziying a little wary. Why did his conversation with Xue Biao attract so many people's attention? And Baoqin's participation seems to have touched the nerves of many people.
He felt a little unhappy, but then he thought about it and it seemed that this was the case for all the big families.
He did not deliberately conceal it, and Xue Biao himself suggested to go to Denglai for development. How could the Feng family be so virtuous? How could he be so virtuous that he could prevent the people in the mansion from paying attention to this matter? I'm afraid even my mother and aunt know about this matter.
When it comes to building and purchasing ships and expanding the merchant fleet, this is not as simple as simply providing money. Since this is to be done, it means that it must be done. It needs to use the various connections of the Feng family to do it. He and Baoqin It doesn't mean that this is related to my father's layout in Liaodong. Naturally, the family will be concerned about it. There seems to be nothing wrong with this.
"Well, what Xue Biao is doing is indeed arranged for her husband. Previously, the Feng family and the Xue family had cooperated on Fengrunxiang and also relied on some of the Xue family's business resources in this area. But later, as the business expanded, , like Haitong Yinzhuang and sea trade business have flourished with the lifting of the maritime ban, then my cousin went to take charge of Haitong Yinzhuang. Xue Biao also felt that Fengrunxiang's business was a bit thin, and hoped to do something more meaningful and valuable. So my husband recommended him to go to Denglai Town to develop. Well, at that time, he was considering starting from sea trade to see if he could open up new routes for the imperial court and open up new territories to make some contributions to the Xue family. Mr. Wan, you should know that the Xue family is no better than Shen. My family has been scholarly for generations, and I value this aspect more, so I hope to try for the position of Lord from here..."
Shen Yixiu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Xue family gave up some of their original business activities, and Xue Biao turned to sea trade that he had never been exposed to before. This was what he had in mind.
I can't say it's wrong, but the position of Lord is not that easy to seek. It is no easier than fighting on the battlefield. The weather at sea is unpredictable. If you don't pay attention, the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed. Moreover, the new route and new territory are not that easy. If you find it, it is normal for you to get nothing for ten or eight years.
"As for Baoqin, she and Xue Biao are brothers and sisters. They originally traveled abroad with their elders. Their temperament and temperament are different from other women. They are also very interested in things related to the outside world. Wanjun, you also know my husband's character. , since Bao Qin is interested, the matters related to the Feng family's outside business should also be divided into several parts and handed over to the third room. Then the second room may not be able to be planned by Bao Qin. After all, Xue Biao is more trustworthy and reliable than outsiders. Bar?"
Hearing that her husband only said that the second-bedroom business might allow Bao Qin to cooperate with Xue Biao, Shen Yixiu also understood that her husband meant to make things easier for her, and laughed: "Ms. sir, I didn't say anything. If it's the Xue family brother My son is really capable, and sister Baoqin can also plan well. The eldest brother can also imitate the second brother. After all, the Feng family is all husband-in-law, right?"
Feng Ziying also smiled and was noncommittal. He really didn't agree with whether the long-term and two-bedroom households could work together to make a living. If they made points in the partnership business, they might feel that the distribution was unfair, and if they lost, it would be even more thankless, so unless it was You have to advocate for yourself, otherwise it's better for everyone to do their own thing.
Feng Ziying no longer has much energy to care about the Feng family's business, that is, because some deeper-level layouts, such as the coal-iron complex of Haitong Yinzhuang and Yongping Mansion, are directly related to the overall situation of Liaodong and even the entire North and South of the Zhou Dynasty in the future. He had to personally intervene in economic development trends. He was too lazy to interfere with general business matters. He could just leave specific matters to the right people.
Even now, he doesn't have much involvement in the specific affairs of Haitong Bank. In the future, Yongping Prefecture's coal, iron and building materials industry will still let it go. At most, he will only interfere with the military workshop co-organized with the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of War. That is also because of Liaodong's needs. .

Yuanchun stood in front of the white jade railing at the gate of Fengzao Palace for a long time, letting the biting cold wind blow on his face, making his plump cheeks freeze with the cold.
"Mother, please go back. You have been standing outside for half an hour. Be careful of freezing." Holding Qin stood behind Yuan Chun. The mink fur coat had already been put on Yuan Chun's back, and he even carried it behind Yuan Chun's back. A smoking cage and Mrs. Tang were also stuffed in Yuanchun's arms, but they still couldn't withstand the cold weather.
"It's okay, I just want to stay awake outside for a while. It's too hot in the room and I feel dizzy. I've been sitting here for half the afternoon and I'm tired." Yuanchun shook his head and turned around, "Hold Qin. , Ancestor and wife, they are all going to the palace tomorrow, right?"
“Well, when I went back the other day, my wife said that there was no one else except the ancestors, my wife, and the eldest wife.” Baoqin replied, “It’s not convenient for the second grandma to come into the palace now.”
"After all, it's better to go back to the mansion and enjoy the excitement." Yuan Chun sighed. Except for these three people, although Jia Lian donated a colleague, Wang Xifeng could not get the imperial decree, but he could also sneak into the palace. Thank you, but now that I have made peace with you, I can no longer do it.
"Then can the empress please ask the emperor for permission to go back to the palace at the age of fifteen?" Bao Qin asked with some expectancy.
A wry smile appeared on Yuanchun's lips, Your Majesty? How long has it been since I last saw this nominal husband? Two months, or three months?
The last time I met, I had to go to the audience with several concubines, and they were dismissed with just a few words. Concubines without sons are treated like this, but look at Concubine Xu, Concubine Mei, and Concubine Guo. , that would be different. You can go with your son and stay for a while. Although the emperor never stays in the palace of the concubines now, as long as any concubine can stay with the emperor for more things, the reputation of that concubine will immediately increase. A bit higher.
Where is it possible that such a thing as marriage promotion can happen every year? It only happens once in three to five years, but it depends on the emperor's mercy. You have to go back every year to visit relatives, and even the most favored concubine will rarely have this gift.
Seeing that the empress didn't speak, she couldn't help but sigh. She also went back to Jia's house a few years ago, and she always felt like she was sluggish. Logically speaking, the second master would go south to Jiangxi to study politics at the beginning of the new year. , but there was no joy at all.
After staying in the house for half a day, it was inevitable to hear some of my former companions complaining that the monthly income had not increased, the New Year's money seemed to have shrunk a lot, and everyone seemed to be a little lazy and unmotivated. Qin's eyes also felt that it didn't taste good.
“However, when I returned home, I heard that Miss Bao and Miss Bao Er were quite favored by Uncle Feng after they married into the Feng family. It is said that...” Bao Qin did not continue.
Yuan Chun was surprised and turned around: "What was said?"
Bao Qin blushed, "It is said that Uncle Feng liked Miss Bao and Miss Bao Er very much. He almost stayed in Miss Bao and Miss Bao Er's house for the past twenty days. My aunt and wife both said that they were looking forward to Miss Bao or Miss Bao. Miss Bao'er could give birth to a legitimate son for the Feng family earlier. The eldest daughter, Mrs. Shen, had given birth to a daughter. She was afraid that she would not be able to get pregnant again in a short time. People in the mansion said that this was the opportunity for Miss Bao and Miss Bao'er... "
But the words of Bao Qin touched Yuan Chun's mind. Feng Ziying's handsome face came to mind, especially the way Feng Ziying looked down on all living beings when he spoke, which made Yuan Chun unforgettable. To be able to face a noble concubine and still have such momentum, Yuan Chun really I think this man is very unusual.
If I had not entered the palace, or had left the palace directly after becoming a female historian, maybe I would have had the opportunity to become his eldest wife's legitimate wife? Then there would be no chance for Shen, and she could still be sisters-in-law with Baochai and Daiyu. What a perfect and good thing that would be.
Unfortunately…
