Chapter 1309 Xin Zijuan The setting sun and the grass trees see the forced palace again
Although there were some unsatisfactory and annoying things, overall Feng Ziying was satisfied with her return to Beijing.
First, it is close to home. My mother, aunt, and two wives are all around me, and my daughter can see her and be entertained every day and witness her growth.
Secondly, of course, the sisters in Rongguo Mansion will have more opportunities to meet each other. No matter what their intentions are, no matter what the results will be in the future, apart from Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xiangyun, Xiuyan and others Several Feng Ziying felt that seeing it was a good thing that was pleasing to the eye.
This is not to mention girls like Yuanyang, Ping'er, and Zijuan. Bickering and chatting are good ways for people to relax after busy work.
There are dozens of posts sent by Ruixiang. In addition to classmates in the same year, most of them are from wealthy families who are also members of the martial arts family, such as the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises.
There are also merchant groups, not to mention the Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce, but also the chambers of commerce in places like Dongting, Longyou, Anfu, and Huizhou, as well as merchants in places like Yangzhou and Ningbo. They have all received the news early and sent the posts.
Regardless of whether Feng Ziying has time to meet them, sending the post is also a gesture.
According to the usual practice, after arriving in Beijing, you need to report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and receive your official certificate before taking office. However, considering that Feng Ziying has been away for so long and handed over the work of Yongping Mansion in advance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs still sent a notice to inform him. You can take office in three days, which is considered to be a three-day holiday for Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying felt that Gao Panlong seemed to have finally become humane after becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, giving these officials who were serving as officials in other places and whose families grew up in Beijing a rare opportunity to rest.
I got my official certificate from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and sent someone to Shuntian Prefecture to deliver the notice. This was the completion of the procedure and I only had to wait for three days to take office.
This has been the case in all dynasties. There must be a ceremony for new officials to take office. However, Feng Ziying is the Prime Minister of Shuntian, not the Governor, so the scale cannot be large. It is nothing more than a few subordinates and the subordinate officials of the sixth house. We just come to meet and show respect for the new boss.
Feng Ziying has already experienced it once in Yongping Mansion, so she is not unfamiliar with such situations. Regarding her future boss Wu Daonan, Feng Ziying also plans to take some time to pay a private visit. This kind of private visit will help eliminate some barriers and alienation. It can bring people closer to each other than meeting in a formal occasion.
Of course, in addition to meeting guests during these three days, he also had to visit several northern scholar leaders such as Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia, Cui Jingrong, and Sun Juxiang, as well as Guan Yingzhen, Chai Ke, and other people who were close to him. Huguang scholar leader.
In the past, his social circle was limited to the circle of his classmates and his master. Since that day when he attended the party in Qi Mansion and as he now takes up the important position of Shuntian Prefecture, his social circle and connections have increased. The circle has expanded, and bosses like Cui Jingrong and Sun Juxiang who will be closely related to their work in the future will have to contact them.
Among them, there are also lower-level scholars like Han Xu, Wang Yongguang, Zhou Yongchun, and Bi Ziyan who have begun to shine again. Although they were hidden for a time, their prestige is still there. When they come out of the mountain, they are third-rank officials, far from Feng Ziying. Compared with this kind of newcomer, Feng Ziying feels that if she concentrates on accumulating, she may be able to reach that level in five to ten years.
Of course this does not represent your official status, but your prestige and influence among the entire scholar community.
Jia Huan’s arrival made Feng Ziying feel a lot happier.
To be honest, Feng Ziying is really optimistic about this concubine who is not popular in the book "Dream of Red Mansions".
Under the aura of Jia Baoyu in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", he, a concubine, seems too wretched and aggrieved.
But in this life, Feng Ziying feels that the other party is a little extreme in temperament and has some rebelliousness in adolescence. In other aspects, he is remarkable. He studies hard, respects himself very much, can see the current situation clearly, and does things in an orderly manner. With toughness, Feng Ziying felt that under his guidance and support, it would be difficult for him to succeed.
Jia Huanyan briefly and comprehensively talked about the Rongguo Mansion's intention to invite the other party to have a banquet at the house. Jia She, Jia Zheng and several junior Jia family children will accompany him. Moreover, this is because Jia Zheng is about to go south to Jiangxi, which shows his respect for Feng Ziying. .
Of course Feng Ziying had no reason not to agree, and she readily agreed on a time, and then started to ask about the situation in the academy.
With the departure of Zhou Yongchun and Bi Ziyan, the new Shanchang Chief Qi Shijiao is a very famous scholar in Shandong. However, because he has lived in seclusion in Shandong for a long time, Feng Ziying has not met him, so he needs to be included in the visit list.
This also shows that the weaknesses of being too young and too inexperienced are beginning to appear. Although Feng Ziying has heard of these long-established scholars, she has almost never interacted with them, or even met them in person.
The situation in the academy has not changed much. The arrival of Qi Shijiao and Wang Zhicai basically continued the previous rules. However, Qi Shijiao obviously pays more attention to the classics and meanings than Zhou Yongchun and Bi Ziyan. He himself is a master of classics and meanings, and He practices his own practice and teaches students in person, which has also won unanimous welcome from the students.
Wang Zhicai is rigorous and conscientious in his work and has extremely strict requirements on study discipline, so the academic style of the academy, which had been somewhat lax in the past two years, has been rectified.
“Both gentlemen Keyan (Qi Shijiaozi) and Xinyi (Wang Zhicaizi) are both role models for scholars. You are lucky enough to be taught by their words and deeds. It is extremely rare. You must cherish this opportunity..."
Feng Ziying encouraged Jia Huan and said that she would take time to visit the two of them, and would also ask them to strictly demand Jia Huan.
Jia Huan also knew that Feng Ziying must be very busy when he came back. You can tell by looking at the thick stack of greeting notes on the desk, so he didn't waste much time. However, he was still worried about his third sister. If he couldn't get an answer, he would always Can't feel at ease.
“Brother Feng, logically there are some things that I shouldn’t ask, but I feel really uncomfortable holding them in my heart.
Feng Ziying was surprised, "Brother Huan, although you and I are not teachers and students, I have always taught you as my disciple. Is there anything we can't be honest with each other?"
Jia Huan was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Brother Feng, my third sister is very affectionate towards you. I want to know what you think of my third sister?"
This question immediately stuck Feng Ziying.
This question was actually mentioned implicitly by Jia Huan before, but Feng Ziying did not answer it directly because he did not know how to answer it.
It would be a lie to say that he doesn't have any good feelings towards Tanchun. He is not willing to say anything against his will, but if he says he has feelings for her, what should he do if he has feelings for her?
It is impossible to get a wife, and it is impossible to take a concubine.
Tanchun is no better than Yingchun. Yingchun has a gentle and honest temperament and doesn't have many demands. She will not refuse a concubine status. However, for Tanchun who is extremely sensitive about identity, there are also the good-looking Jia Zheng and his wife among them, which is not good. Dealt with it.
Feng Ziying knew very well that Tanchun, who had always been strong and intelligent, had always been very sensitive and taboo about her origins. The dissatisfaction of her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and her lowliness in front of the Wang family made her feel even more humiliated in the Rongguo Mansion, so she never mentioned it. Tanchun would definitely not be able to accept it if she wanted to continue living the same life as her biological mother.
This became a dilemma. It was impossible to be a wife or even a concubine. Being a concubine would definitely stimulate Tanchun's sensitive heart. No matter which room she was a concubine in, Tanchun would find it difficult to accept it, even if Baochai She has a good relationship with Daiyu.
"Brother Huan, do you want me to take your third sister as my concubine?" Feng Ziying knew that since Jia Huan came to mention this matter again today, she might have gotten Tanchun's instruction, or at least acquiesced, and would not answer directly. , I'm afraid it will really hurt Tanchun's heart.
Jia Huan was startled for a moment, then nodded: "I would rather the third sister be a concubine to Brother Feng than marry one of those mediocre people. Besides, I know the character of the third sister very well. She is a person who sticks to her will and never goes against her will." A woman with a strange heart, if she has feelings for someone, she will never change again. This situation is also torture for the third sister, so I hope that the third sister can have a good ending, and I hope that she can be happy for the rest of her life... "
"But have you considered the situation of your third sister? If she comes into my house as a concubine, your sister Bao and sister Lin are both regular wives. They usually treat each other like sisters and have a very harmonious relationship, but she is a concubine. How can she, who has always been strong, do it? Can you accept it? Can your parents accept such a situation? "
Feng Ziying said very solemnly, "Brother Huan, I understand your feelings. I also like the third sister very much, but the more I like her, the more thoughtful I should be for her instead of acting on impulse."
Jia Huan felt hot in her heart. This was the first time that Feng Ziying admitted that she liked the third sister. Just taking this sentence back could make the third sister feel better for a long time. It was not in vain that she came to the palace today to ask for advice.
"But Brother Feng, I believe you have a way to solve it. Needless to say, the master and his wife will obey your words. Even if they feel there is something wrong, you will definitely be able to convince them to accept it. As for the third sister, you will definitely have a way. Come and solve it, you can break the precedents of the Feng family's second-bedroom house and the three-bedroom house and the main house, so your third sister's matter will not be a problem, right?"
Feng Ziying looked at Jia Huan carefully. This guy actually thought that he was omnipotent. How can this be compared?
Although there is no precedent for a family with three bedrooms and a kitchen, two bedrooms and a kitchen is not something too special. As for the restoration of the title, although it is a bit against the rules, after all, some reasons can be found to explain it. Even if it is a bit far-fetched, but I Having made such a great contribution, this can be offset, right?
