Chapter 1436 Xin Zijuan goes home
“The uncle is back!”
The whole Feng Mansion was full of joy and noise, and the servants rushed to tell each other. The Duan family, both big and small, brought Shen Yixiu, Baochai, Baoqin, Eryou and a group of maids to greet him at the corner gate, which made Feng Ziying a little frightened.
"Why is the mother like this? Isn't this going to kill her son? My son is in the capital city, and he asks Ruixiang and Baoxiang to come back with letters every day. How can there be such gold and precious things?"
Feng Ziying quickly got out of the car to greet her mother and aunt. The faces of Shen Yixiu, Er Xue and Er You were also full of concern and expectation. The girls were also very excited and a little happy.
"That's different. In the past twenty days, you haven't come back, and my mother has missed you very much. Every day, I hear all kinds of rumors from outside. The "Daily News" is also vague, only saying that Shuntian Prefecture is investigating the big case of Tongcang. , there are so many people involved in the case, but they refuse to say more about the specific content. You are only a few miles away from me, but you feel like you are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers and you can't see each other. Doesn't this make me feel anxious? "
Mrs. Duan took Feng Ziying's hand and looked at it carefully. She felt that her son seemed to have really lost some weight. He had been living in the government office for the past twenty days. He didn't know what to eat and had to stay up late to review cases. , working day and night, hard work is inevitable.
Although he asked Ruixiang Baoxiang to send some food, Feng Ziying told others in the house not to go, so as not to shake the morale of the army.
"Why should mother be anxious? My son is sitting in the lobby of the government office. There are hundreds of people in the government office. He is not allowed to go home. Naturally, my son has to take the lead in setting an example. Isn't this just a matter of twenty days? Aren't you coming back now?" Feng Ziying held the hands of her mother and aunt, greeted her wives and concubines with their eyes and expressions, and then walked in together.
"Ziying, why don't you have dinner?" Duan's most concerned about her son is her son. As long as she sees her son coming back safely, she will feel reassured.
"Well, I haven't eaten yet. The food in the government office is really not good. I can only make do with it, and don't think about the taste." Feng Ziying said as he walked: "It's hard for my mother, my aunt, and all my sisters. Let’s have dinner with me.”
While we were eating this meal, we couldn't help but ask about the case that had become the most lively case in the capital city during this period. It had become an indispensable topic of conversation after dinner in Sijiu City.
"My mother also knows that the handling of cases in the government is not that mysterious. My son is not a man with three heads and six arms, or a man with three heads and six arms. He has made a lot of preparations in advance. These people are also greedy and do many evil things. My son also obeyed the emperor's order and It’s just a matter of investigating the case under the instructions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.”
Feng Ziying didn’t introduce much. Even though she was at home, people were talking too much and it would be harmful and unhelpful to spread the word. If they were willing to speculate or make up stories, that was up to them, so it was just half-truths and half-falsies that neither denied nor affirmed. This made Duan feel a little regretful, feeling that she could not understand such a case thoroughly.
“I heard that hundreds of gold ingots were found in Zhou Tianbao’s house?”
Mrs. Duan also knew that young couples were better than newlyweds. After her son left for twenty days, the wives and concubines would miss her very much and would inevitably have to talk to each other as husband and wife, so she left after eating, leaving only a bunch of Yingying. Yanyan, at this time, naturally there is no distinction between the eldest and second bedrooms, even the maids are crowding around.
Everyone has the desire to gossip, especially women. Especially these gossips are created by their husbands. Now that the initiator is back, they can understand it most intuitively and clearly, satisfy their curiosity, and they can be said to be proud of it. The satisfaction is unparalleled.
The person who asked the question was Sister You. She seemed to be especially interested in gold. Even the jewelry around her was mostly gold jewelry. On the contrary, she was not interested in the more expensive jade jewelry. Even Feng Ziying felt that this was really a "Honest person".
"How can it be that exaggerated? There are hundreds of hundred taels of gold ingots. Isn't this alone worth one hundred thousand taels? That's more than enough for Zhou Tianbao to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan." Feng Ziying laughed, "It's just spreading rumors. Fifty taels There are some gold ingots, but they are only thirty or forty. The shape is quite exquisite. It is said that they were specially cast by someone. There is nothing to say about that, but this guy does have some artist's thoughts. I bought a batch of gold pieces with twelve zodiac signs, which are very gorgeous..."
Sister You had a look of envy on her face, "They really took a lot of thought. If they were put together, they would definitely be very beautiful."
Bao Qin laughed and said, "Adu things like this are also used to make zodiac ornaments? It's really interesting."
Second Sister You's face is a bit unsightly. She likes gold jewelry, which is a bit out of tune with other women, but it is one of her major hobbies. Even her husband-in-law didn't say anything, but she was teased by Xue Baoqin, so naturally she was a little unhappy. .
However, Second Sister You has a docile temperament. Although she is unhappy in her heart, she does not show any emotion. She just lowers her brows and remains silent.
Xue Baochai, on the other hand, was keenly aware of Shen Yixiu's frown and knew that Bao Qin had done a bad job in this matter. He is the eldest son, so why should your second eldest son comment?
"Gold and jade are all auspicious things. The necklace hanging around my neck is made of gold. I think it is very gorgeous. It was also left to me by my late father..." Xue Baochai quickly interjected to avoid the awkwardness. He stopped and took off his collar.
Feng Ziying also remembered the necklace on Baochai's neck. Although he and Baochai had been married for so long, he didn't pay much attention to the gold necklace. When Baochai and Baochai were in love, Baochai usually took off the necklace early. It was given to Ying'er for collection, and occasionally placed on the bedside, but Feng Ziying never looked at it carefully.
Xue Baochai's actions made Shen Yixiu's face clear up. Although Xue Baoqin may not have meant what he said, his indifference to Sister You was obvious. If it were him, Xue Baoqin would never dare to be so presumptuous.
Feng Ziying was sitting in the middle, but he didn't pay too much attention to the undercurrent between his wives and concubines. He took Baochai's gold necklace and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, there were eight words on it, "Never leave, we will continue forever." ".
Well, in my impression, the book "Dream of Red Mansions" also said that Jia Baoyu's jade pendant has eight words "Don't lose it, don't forget it, immortality and longevity", which seems to be like a couplet.
Countless people thought that this was a good match, but now they were snatched away by him. Although Baochai was in his arms, the romance of wood and stone was also over. Sister Lin will marry into his family next year. Thinking of this, Feng Ziying's lips curled up. He couldn't help but smile proudly.
I really felt sorry for Baoyu. Maybe it was because of the sleep I had in Qin Keqing's room that day that all my luck was transferred to me. Well, the Twelve Hairpins in the Red Mansion were in the main book and the second book and the second book. , don’t you just let yourself choose?
It's just that I have been in this world for a long time, why did I have such a dream after sleeping in Qin Keqing's boudoir?
Qin Keqing's residence is Tianxiang Tower, the first floor is her boudoir, and the second floor is said to be where Qin Keqing usually lives and rests, and no one else is allowed to go up there. The word Tianxiang comes from the name Guose Tianxiang, but this national beauty and Tianxiang often means beauty. Damn it, why did I have this dream while sleeping in this woman's boudoir?
Is there really any special artistic conception here?
Feng Ziying is a materialist, but now that she has entered this world, even a materialist can't help but become a little superstitious.
Is it really because Qin Keqing has some kind of special "imperial aura" in her body, which has the same special meaning as the mantra "It can make the world prosperous, but it can destroy it" shrouded in Busiyamala's body?
It's just that both of them seem to be entangled with themselves. Whether this is a disaster or a blessing, Feng Ziying can't help but think wildly.
Seeing Feng Ziying pinching her gold collar and looking at it in a daze, Baochai was both happy and ashamed. Although there were no outsiders here, there were still a few eldest brothers. Her husband's behavior would inevitably arouse the eldest son's dissatisfaction. , I wanted to remind him, but I felt that it was too revealing to be beautiful, so I just sat quietly with my chest in my arms and my back straight.
Shen Yixiu seemed to be aware of this, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. Every lady has some heirlooms of this kind of jewelry. To say that gold jewelry is really not as good as jade jewelry, I'm afraid my husband is still concerned about it. Maybe it’s because the style of this gold necklace is a little different.
Sure enough, after observing for a while, Feng Ziying said: "Baochai's gold necklace is still a little different. It is in the shape of a crescent moon, with branches and bird patterns on it. This was the most popular style in the Tang Dynasty, which was the most prosperous and open era in China. , so it has also absorbed many styles from the Western Regions and overseas, which can be described as a fine product..."
"Oh?" The girls were a little surprised. None of them, including Baochai, knew that their gold necklace was nearly a thousand years old. When his father left it to him, he also said that he bought it from a Hu merchant when he was young. I thought the words on this gold necklace had a very good meaning, so I kept it as a family heirloom. I didn't expect it to be from the Tang Dynasty.
“Well, that should be true.” Feng Ziying nodded, “This thing is worth keeping.”
“Sister wears it every day, so she keeps it close to her body.” Baoqin said with a smile, “I have underestimated the origin of this gold jewelry.”
The storm was resolved silently. The women also asked some other questions. Feng Ziying also picked up irrelevant gimmicks. As for the specific case, there was no need to mention it. These women didn't care about the case either. Just novelty things that can be talked about.
