Chapter 1386 Xin Zijuan is domineering
Wang Xifeng looked at the pretty maid with a complicated look in front of her and sighed softly, "Ping'er, you will be nineteen years old today. It has been nine years since we came to Rongguo Mansion. I think I brought you here." You were only ten years old at the time, and in the blink of an eye, like a fleeting moment, you..."
Ping'er held up the green jade bracelet that Wang Xifeng rewarded with lowered eyebrows and said nothing.
She also knew that although this bracelet was not her grandma's most cherished item, it was still among the top three items. In terms of value, it would probably not be less than five hundred taels of silver. This was the reason why she had followed her grandma through countless lives over the years. This time, it was the most valuable thing my grandma gave me.
However, this may be the last time that his master and servant have had a baby in the Jia family. Jia Lian will be back at the end of the year and will bring back the son born to his concubine. In addition, it is said that he has also made an engagement with a squire in Yangzhou and is preparing to do so. Married.
Although grandma was still calm after hearing the news, Ping'er knew that grandma was very angry and desolate inside. It was clearly Jia Lian who was in trouble, but he didn't know why he put all the blame on grandma. Could it be because he didn't have any children? What? I'm afraid that's just an excuse.
Once he leaves the Jia family's shelter, Ping'er doesn't know what the situation of his master and servant will be like. Although he has made some preparations before, and even looks for some suitable houses, when he thinks of leaving the Jia family compound, he can only There are only a dozen or so people left to accompany me. I wonder if grandma can accept this kind of contrast?
It’s also fortunate to have Uncle Feng…
Thinking of this, Ping'er felt much more at ease.
"Grandma, don't think too much. Even if I wait for another ten or twenty years, I will be yours. If the Rongguo Mansion doesn't wait for you, I won't wait for you." Ping'er smiled, "Maybe we'll still be together after we get out. If you want to be more free and don't want to suffer from the idleness of this house, I don't believe that with grandma's ability, can she starve to death?"
Wang Xifeng also laughed, but there was a bit of helplessness in the smile, "It's not a big deal to starve to death, but Ping'er, you and I are used to being honored in this Rongguo Mansion. We ride in a car when we go out and a sedan when we go in." "Everywhere you go, there are people holding and protecting you, but it's different when you go outside. If you don't have this preparation, I'm afraid you will be disappointed or even feel lost."
"Grandma, I came from a poor family and have been here for so many years. But Grandma can think so clearly, so I feel completely relieved now." Ping'er was very happy that Wang Xifeng could see so clearly, that means Grandma is already mentally prepared.
"It's easier said than done. Even though I've been prepared for it for a long time, I still feel guilty when I think about having to weather the storm by myself in the future. Even though I'm in a good posture, I'm just trying to catch a duck. I'm forced to do this. If something really happens, maybe I will be blind and give in."
Wang Xifeng smiled bitterly.
"Isn't there still Uncle Feng? If there is really an obstacle that cannot be overcome, Uncle Feng will reach out." Ping'er couldn't help but add another sentence, "One day and a hundred days of kindness between husband and wife, I don't believe that he can bear to leave him behind." Grandma doesn’t care,…”
Wang Xifeng blushed slightly and shook her head: "Can I still rely on him for the rest of my life? We are not a family after all."
Ping'er's eyes turned and her face felt a little hot, but she refused to let go. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then grandma will find a way to become a family with Uncle Feng so that he can't let go..."
Wang Xifeng was stunned and immediately understood what Ping'er meant. She glared at Ping'er and said, "Little hoof, you are chewing your tongue again..."
"Grandma just said what slave said is right. You and he have become husband and wife a long time ago. If grandma still plans to marry again, then it is right that slave has not said that. If grandma doesn't plan to marry again, it will be a man and a woman. Sister Qiao, the Jia family won't give it to you, so why not give birth to a son and a half for Uncle Feng so that you can have someone to rely on in the future?"
Putting aside other ties, Ping'er spoke more and more sharply, "Even if the surname cannot be Feng, as long as there is this layer of concern, it will always be different."
Wang Xifeng was a little absent-minded for a while and did not speak. After a long time, she slowly said: "I haven't seen him for a long time. After going to Baochai Baoqin, it seems that Brother Keng has cultivated his mind and character."
"Grandma, he just became the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion. Didn't you also say that Shuntian Mansion is very different from Yongping Mansion? There are many affairs and they involve a wide range of things. He will definitely be busy for a while, right?" Ping'er couldn't help but explain for Feng Ziying. .
"Huh, that's all. Then if you live another life, does he not care about it, or doesn't he know that you live another life?" Wang Xifeng snorted lightly.
"What's this life like for me? It's just a few sisters sharing the same idea. The girls loved me and gave me some rewards, which made me feel flattered." Ping'er pretended to be indifferent and said. .
Ping'er couldn't defeat Wang Xifeng, so he could only turn his face to one side.
At this time, Feng Ziying had already entered the east corner gate of Rongguo Mansion and was getting off the carriage and looking around.
Because it is definitely impossible to come here for Ping'er's birthday. I am afraid that Ping'er will not be able to stay in Rongguo Mansion any longer, and will also arouse countless anger and jealousy in the Grand View Garden. Feng Ziying will not wait like that Unwise.
However, before Jia Zheng went south to Jiangxi, he specifically asked himself to take more care of the Rongguo Mansion. Feng Ziying has never been here, so it makes sense to take time to take a look now.
As for Ping'er's birthday, it was just a coincidence.
"Baoyu, let's go and sit with the old lady first. Is there anything big happening in the house during this time?" Feng Ziying walked to Jia Mu's yard accompanied by Jia Baoyu, "Brother Huan hasn't come back, Brother Lan." He and Brother Cong are said to be doing pretty well during this period, what about you?"
Every time he spends time with her is a torment for Jia Baoyu, but in the absence of Brother Lian, he has to be the one to accompany her. This makes Jia Baoyu very depressed, but he can't help but appreciate people coming to care about her.
"Brother Feng, that's just me." Jia Baoyu is quite satisfied with his current life.
If you write some articles based on your interest every day, you can basically get a stable editing fee for the "Daily News". In addition, in your spare time, you can participate in the city's poetry society. Even if the top level is a bit difficult, but with honor Due to the reputation of the government, there are still some activities that can be participated in.
Occasionally, I would drink wine, make music, chant poems and sing songs with Qin Zhong and Jiang Yuhan. I had a good time, but I was at ease. Compared with the days when my father was in Beijing, I didn't know how happy he was.
The only thing that bothers him is that his grandmother and mother talk about his marriage all day long. He is most worried that his grandmother and mother will entrust this matter to Brother Feng, which will really be troublesome. Now he feels that he is most free and carefree without getting married. , if you really want to get married, you will be much more restricted.
"Just what?" Feng Ziying saw that Baoyu's tone was dull and he didn't have much energy, so he asked casually: "It seems that you are quite satisfied with your current life?"
"Brother Feng, it's not like you don't know my temper. I'm not as fond of reading as Huan Ge'er and Lang Ge'er. All I read are useless miscellaneous books and my temper is lazy, so my current situation is not bad. The monthly editorial fee for "News Today" is not bad, and I can live a comfortable life without relying on the monthly report issued by the government, so I am quite satisfied."
Baoyu was honest. Feng Ziying sighed when she saw the calmness in his clear eyes.
It cannot be said that other people’s ideas are wrong. Isn’t it good to be a pure scholar? It's just that in the current precarious situation of Rongguo Mansion, it seems a bit out of place, but he is indeed not the material.
After thinking for a while, Feng Ziying nodded: "If you think your life is good now, then stick to it. But if the old lady and your mother ask about your marriage, what do you think?"
Baoyu pondered for a long time: "Brother Feng, to be honest, I really don't want to get married now, but I also know that such things are not up to me. My ancestors and my wife will definitely not agree. If possible, can you help me?"
"I'm afraid I can't talk about this matter. How can I tell the old lady and your mother that you don't want to get married? Your second wife in Rongguo Mansion depends entirely on you to carry on the family line. You are not young now, and it is impossible to drag it out like this. It's just that It’s just that I haven’t found a suitable family for a while. Instead of having unrealistic fantasies, it’s better to find someone you are satisfied with. I can also tell you about this..."
Baoyu was silent, which surprised Feng Ziying.
This should be the most reliable way. If you want to help him, you can only help him so far.
Could it be that Baoyu really changed his temper after hanging out with Qin Zhong, Jiang Yuhan and others in Chengri? In this era, many wealthy people played with this tune, including Jia Lian. But it was just the so-called "leisure and elegance". If you really get obsessed with it, it would be really bad.
"Baoyu, let me remind you that Uncle Zheng Shi went south and entrusted me to keep an eye on your house for him. I was too busy some time ago, so I came here less often. I have little leisure time during this time, so I have to Come and see, Qin Zhong and Jiang Yuhan are not allowed to enter the Rongguo Mansion again in the future. If Qin Zhong wants to study at the Clan School, he can go there. You are not allowed to go again. Jiang Yuhan is an opera singer, so he will go to sing opera honestly. You are not allowed to go there. Communicate with them..."
Jia Baoyu was surprised. He didn't expect Feng Ziying to be so decisive when he came. He protested: "Brother Feng, I'm afraid this is inappropriate? Qin Zhong and Jiang Yuhan are both my friends. It's natural for them to come to my place. How can I do it?" Can’t we make friends with them?”
"For whatever reason, God knows and the earth knows that you know and I know. You must understand that I am the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture. If I don't understand your little tricks, why should I be the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture? Do you believe that I will be able to find you tomorrow?" Why do you want to put Qin Zhong and Jiang Yuhan in jail and let them live and die?" Feng Ziying didn't talk nonsense to him and said directly: "If you don't obey me, give it a try!"
