Chapter 1249: On the third day of the first lunar month of the Gengzi Volume, the spring blossoms on the red apricot branches
While the girls were talking and joking, the carriage had arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
Since Feng Ziying knew about the other party's situation, of course she would not be ungrateful.
Hand not to hit the smiling person, even if your thoughts and feelings towards the Jia family are very complicated now, at least at this time you have to maintain the scene, otherwise it will be regarded as contempt and humiliation.
Feng Ziying jumped out of the car and took the lead in bowing her hands, "Baoyu, Brother Huan, Brother Rong, why is this necessary? Brother Lan and Brother Cong are here too?"
Baoyu no longer has the complex emotions he had last time. After all these two years, even though he is a hard-edged stone, he has also been worn away from his sharpness. At most, he still has some pride in his heart. Just persistence.
"Brother Feng and Sister Bao came to our house. The uncle and the master were very happy. It was natural for the younger brother to come to the door to welcome him. Although the younger brother closed his eyes and listened, he also knew that Brother Feng was wanted by countless people in the capital city. It’s something you can’t see at first sight,…”
After Baoyu experienced Feng Ziying’s marriage and acted as a confidant, she deeply felt the gap between herself and Feng Ziying.
Not only were there an endless stream of dignitaries from the capital, but also scholars from the north and the south came out in force. Even those who usually sneered at Feng Ziying's uninformed poems and essays, this time they came to congratulate her with the same smile. Maybe you can say that this is etiquette, but Baoyu understands that if you try it with another person, who would go to the wedding of someone you don't like to congratulate, and you don't have much contact with him in the first place.
"Okay, Baoyu, please stop teasing Brother Yu. It's just the exaggeration of some good people. Brother Yu has been staying in the house during this time. He hasn't gone anywhere, and he hasn't seen anything like what you said..." Feng Ziying and Baoyu shook hands, and then turned to Jia Huan, "Brother Huan, how about studying?"
“Well, brother Feng, don’t worry, my younger brother has never slacked off.” Although Jia Huan was a little impatient with Baoyu, he still followed the necessary etiquette in front of Feng Ziying.
“Brother Lan and Brother Cong, can you work hard to follow Zhou Jiaoyu?” Feng Ziying looked at Jia Lan and Jia Cong again.
"Replying to Master, I have been working hard and have not failed in the homework assigned by Zhou Jiaoyu." Jia Lan and Jia Cong looked more formal. They both bowed to the end and saluted. If they were indoors, they would have to kneel down. .
Nodding, Feng Ziying also learned from Zhou Chaozong that, let alone, Jia Lan and Jia Cong were both pretty good at studying. Jia Lan worked hard but had mediocre qualifications. Jia Cong was a little out of the ordinary, but had good talent and a lot of understanding. But in terms of reading, he is still not as good as Jia Huan.
According to Zhou Chaozong who came to the mansion a few days ago to sit down, it is estimated that if Jia Lan and Jia Cong continue to study like this, they should have no problem in passing the scholar examination, and there is great hope in passing the examination. However, Jinshi is a bit difficult, and it depends on the opportunity.
Feng Ziying also understood what Zhou Chaozong meant. It was probably that Jia Lan and Jia Cong were just embryonic candidates at best, and they were not as capable as Jia Huan to pass the imperial examination.
Zhou Chaozong has taught at Qingtan Academy for many years and has a good eye for people. He has been exposed to Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Cong for so long, so he can naturally weigh them and conclude that Jia Lan and Jia Cong have the potential to be successful candidates. As for sex, Feng Ziying thinks it’s almost the same.
There are only so many Jinshi in each subject. If everyone can pass the exam easily, it would be too child's play. Even the exam is many times more difficult than the college entrance examination in later generations. It is said that thousands of troops can't cross a single-plank bridge. It's too much, otherwise Jia Zhu's body will collapse, his life will be lost, and only one scholar will be admitted.
"Well, Master Zhou is a famous figure in Qingtan Academy, and it took a lot of effort for me to ask him to teach you two alone. You two must cherish this opportunity and don't take it lightly." Feng Ziying warned: "Next year Brother Huan is about to take the Autumn Palace Competition. You two can also try to take the scholar exam next year. It doesn’t matter if you pass or fail, but you can feel it in advance..."
“Thank you, Master, for your guidance. I will definitely work hard.”
The words made both Jia Lan and Jia Cong in high spirits. Jia Lan is thirteen this year. He is two years younger than Jia Huan, and Jia Cong is one year younger than him. When he was fourteen or fifteen, he tried to take the exam to become a scholar. It can also be regarded as a self-challenge.
Jia Rong glanced at Feng Ziying with resentment. He originally wanted to be a guest when Feng Ziying got married, but was declined by Feng Ziying. Of course, Feng Ziying also explained the reason. The redemption was still going on. If Jia Rong showed up, Among the Zhike group, that would be too explicit and would definitely give some unnecessary hints to the outside world.
Jia Rong could understand it, but felt it was a pity. He felt that the experience of becoming Uncle Feng's wife would definitely become a big event worth showing off for his family in the future. It was a pity that he could only give up when encountering such a thing. However, Fortunately, Lin Daiyu will marry Feng Ziying next year, and this time he must seize the opportunity.
"Father is in good health, and you are worried about your troubles." Jia Rong's gentle and jade-like cheeks were full of smiles, "My father will definitely be happy if you have time to come to our Ningguo Mansion to sit down."
Feng Ziying nodded, "If you have time, I must have a good get-together with Brother Zhen. I haven't seen Brother Zhen in some days."
The group of people finished their greetings and then walked in. At this time, Baochai and his carriage had already entered the corner gate, the coachman had already parked the carriage, and Baochai and Baoqin had already entered the yard to go to the ancestral house. .
When you get married, you naturally no longer have as many taboos as you did when you were a girl. Even between relatives, you have to avoid taboos. For example, when there are other men around, they need to be with other people and cannot be alone. Of course, relatives also need to depend on the situation, but they may not necessarily abide by these rules. It is impossible for a housekeeper like Wang Xifeng to avoid being exposed at all.
Baochai and Baoqin were not suitable to meet Baoyu and Jia Huan in person. Even if they wanted to meet, it would be better to meet with many sisters in Jia Mu’s yard. So while her husband was chatting with Baoyu and the others, Baochai and Baoqin went straight into the yard.
As soon as they stepped into Jia Mu's yard, Baochai and Baoqin felt many complicated eyes on their sisters. Even though the two women were mentally prepared, they were still stung by this kind of attention. , Keep cheering yourself up in your mind to stabilize your appearance and not show any timidity.
"I've seen my ancestors, my mother, my aunt..." Baochai and Bao Qin saluted Yingying. A look of satisfaction appeared on Jia Mu's fair and rich face. She smiled and patted her legs and said, "What do you think, this girl Bao and Qin are married?" The popularity is actually better. Bao Yatou has not been taking the Laoshizi Lengxiang Pills. I heard that some diseases are congenitally brought in the womb, but if they get married, they may be cured naturally. I think Bao Yatou looks like this kind,…"
The words immediately attracted the echoes of the warblers in the room, and even Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were smiling.
But at a glance, it is indeed the case. Baochai and Baoqin's faces are white and rosy, and their eyebrows are even more shiny. At first glance, they look good and are in a good mood. No wonder Jia Mu said so.
However, many of the people here are people who have been here before. It seems that at this time of newlyweds, it seems that the Xue twins also had a deep love for Feng Ziying. Come on, like Wang Xifeng.
However, at this time, Wang Xifeng was no longer as aggressive and competitive as before. She knew that she could not stay in Rongguo Mansion for long. Although she was a little sad in her heart, seeing the departure of the Xue family, Daiyu would also marry next year. When entering the Feng Mansion, people like Yingchun and Tanchun will inevitably have to leave the house. It is only right to have a banquet in this world, so even if there is some taste for the Xue sisters in my heart, it is just a slight taste in my nose. He snorted lightly but didn't say anything more.
But Shi Xiangyun's humming was still heard by Shi Xiangyun next to him. He glanced at the second sister-in-law who had an indifferent expression, thinking that he had heard wrong. It seemed that the second sister-in-law didn't have any objections to Sister Bao and Bao Qin.
"Bao Yatou really looks much better than before. My ancestors saw it well. Could it be that our family's water and rice are not as nourishing as the Feng family's?" Wang Xifeng seemed to be aware of Shi Xiangyun's somewhat surprised look next to her. She didn't want to As she spoke, she immediately smiled and started talking: "Or are the people from the Feng family more likely to make Bao Yatou and Qin Yatou feel comfortable knowing that they know each other? Ancestor, I think the latter is more likely."
Wang Xifeng's words made Baochai and Baoqin blush, and the people next to them started laughing.
"This Feng girl!" Aunt Xue couldn't help but smile and shake her head: "No wonder our ancestors said she was a naughty girl..."
Mrs. Wang also had a smile on her face, "Well, it can be seen that Baochai Baoqin's life in the Feng family is very happy. It seems that the elders there should be very satisfied with the two sisters..."
Aunt Xue also smiled happily and lowered her voice: "Baochai and Baoqin were still a little inconvenient when they came back. I also told them to take a good rest. Baochai also came back with a message a few days ago, saying that everything was fine in the house. , Ziying also takes good care of the two sisters, and has a very harmonious relationship with the eldest daughter over there, Mrs. Shen, so I feel relieved."
"Don't worry?" Mrs. Wang shook her head and her voice became softer: "It's not the time to feel relieved now. We have to wait until Baochai gives birth to a son before we can rest assured. Shen's side doesn't say..., but Lin Yatou will also get married next year. ”
"Sister is right, I also told Baochai, but things like this still have to be about fate. Even if Ziying dotes on their sisters, she can't rest in their room every night..." Aunt Xue There are not so many taboos about talking to her sister, "Although Ziying is young, if she is too indulged in such sexual matters, she is afraid of hurting her body,..."
