Chapter 1541 The Beautiful Era of Xinzijuan Men (Update)
"Thank you for your compliment, Yuanyang. I'm not a saint. How can I not offend others when I do something? How can I not offend others without being scolded? I understand." Feng Ziying laughed at herself, "But please. The imperial court is beneficial to the people, and other lords don’t care about that much. A clear conscience is enough.”
Feng Ziying's few words fell in Yuanyang's ears, but they were like knowing the taste in the light, recognizing the talent in the ordinary, and it was thought-provoking.
Yuanyang knew that she could not discuss government affairs with Feng Ziying, but regardless of what Uncle Feng said, she also understood that if she was good to the court and good to the people, what else could she say? Uncle Feng is busy with court affairs all day long. As for how many lovers he has in the palace, is that important? It's just a trivial matter that is insignificant and not worth mentioning. It just makes me laugh that I am still thinking about it.
The whole Jingtong Ercang case was solved, and everyone in the capital was applauded.
For decades everyone has known that the officials in Ercang were greedy and lavish, but either there was a reason for the incident and no real evidence was found, or they were simply put aside without anyone paying attention. Over time, everyone became numb and took it for granted.
Who would have thought that Uncle Feng would use this as soon as he came to Shuntian Mansion? The new official took office and set fire to this place. It really hurt a lot of people, but most of them were very happy and applauded.
But the imperial court was able to recover millions of taels of silver. What a good thing this is?
Those who scold their fathers and mothers are just the family members, relatives and friends of those corrupt officials. They are insignificant and not worth mentioning.
Seeing that Feng Ziying had some feelings, I also knew that Feng Ziying had been thinking very hard during this period and was very hard. So Yuanyang's heart gradually softened, and he whispered: "My slave didn't say anything, I just thought that I was like this in the guest room of the mansion, and Hongyu came and Siqi came again, which was too unrestrained. If word spread in the mansion, It's harmful to my reputation. Some time ago, my silly sister picked up another embroidered spring bag. Maybe someone will blame me for this."
"Embroidered spring bag?" Feng Ziying asked in surprise, "Is this thing very popular now? Do you in Rongguo Mansion like to play with these trendy things?"
Yuanyang's cheeks turned red and he rolled his eyes at Feng Ziying, "What did you say? Who in the house likes this?"
"Haha, I heard that I picked one up last year, right? I picked it up again this year? These things are just for married couples to have fun with. It's okay to hide them under the bedside pillow, but it's okay to leave them outside. It's an eyesore." Feng Ziying felt curious, "Jia Lian has left, and the second sister-in-law has also gone out. Who else is in the house? The servants of the old couples in your house are not young anymore, so they don't want to play anymore. Is this the right tune? It would be more reliable to say that you found it in Ning Guo Mansion."
Yuanyang nodded solemnly, "That's why Madam and the others are very angry, especially since Grandma Zhu is a widow, and the third girl hasn't left the government yet. What do you think these things look like when you see them?"
Feng Ziying laughed and said, "Who could that be? Don't rely on me. I only come to your house once every month or two. Si Qi and Hongyu Ye are not going to use that kind of stuff to flirt with me."
Feng Ziying was also a little puzzled that the "Embroidered Spring Pouch Incident" in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" was finally blamed on Siqi and her cousin Pan You'an. But in fact, anyone who has carefully read the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" knows that at that time, Siqi I had just broken off my relationship with Pan Youan, and they were still in the first love stage. How could someone at that stage be so stupid as to bring an aphrodisiac embroidered spring bag to meet each other? It's impossible even if you think about it.
But after finding love letters and tokens from Siqi, there is no need for other evidence. As long as the goal is achieved, just like the reward for her brother who entered the painting, Qingwen also took the opportunity to be kicked out. All in all, all parties have achieved their goal. Each has its own purpose and ends perfectly.
But the situation in this life is different. Si Qi followed her and didn't take any fancy to her cousin at all. Although there were still so many couples in the Rongguo Mansion, there were a few servants who would go there if they were in a leisurely mood. Playing with this mood?
All in all, it is more likely to be a master, but as for a master who has had **** with men and women, or is still interested in it, there are really not many people in the Rongguo Mansion, unless they are those like himself. Such an affair, but who could be as unrestrained as myself? It can be said that only he has this convenient privilege in Rongguo Mansion, and no one else can.
Yuanyang said nothing and lowered his eyelids.
"Yuanyang, do you have something to suspect?" Feng Ziying half-smiled, "Could it be Baoyu?"
Yuanyang trembled, "No, how dare Mr. Bao..."
Feng Ziying said it casually, but Yuanyang looked ugly, "Although Xiren was taken over by Baoyu, he never dared to ask for these things. Baoyu shouldn't have such a temper either..."
It’s just that I don’t have much confidence in saying this, at least for Yuanyang.
It has been several years since Xiren was taken in by Baoyu. Among the other girls that Yuanyang is familiar with, apart from Sheyue who is an honest person and a yellow flower daughter, Bihen is also obviously broken, and so is Meiren. Qiu Wen was well hidden and could not be seen, but Yuanyang felt that it was probably because Qiu Wen's appearance was inferior to the others, and his temperament was not very good, so he was not taken over by Baoyu.
It's just that many people in the house still think that Second Master Bao is still the innocent young man who had a face like silver basin and eyes like autumn water seven or eight years ago. He spent his days laughing and playing with his sisters and was carefree, but Yuanyang knew that Baoyu is afraid that is not the case.
Including the ancestors and his wife, they probably never thought that the changes in the outside world in the past few years still greatly touched Baoyu, the legitimate son of the second wife of Rongguo Mansion, especially when Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng ran away from home, Huan Laosan and even Jia Lan and Jia Cong's studies were getting better, Jia Yun, Jia Qiang and other children from distant places were gradually becoming famous. Yuanyang, the most senior girl in the house, saw all these changes. These changes also put Jia Baoyu under tremendous pressure. He had to find other ways to resolve his worries.
Thinking of this, Yuanyang can only sigh. As Uncle Feng said, they are all girls who are almost twenty years old. Logically speaking, they have already been married outside and even had children. Baoyu, as their master, takes over the house and has sex. , in fact, there is nothing to say.
Feng Ziying also laughed and did not explain.
After having a drink last night, Feng Ziying had already realized that Jia Baoyu had matured a lot. She was still closely related to Qin Zhong and Jiang Qiguan. If you look at people with your eyes, there is nothing you can say.
What's more, some of Baoyu's thoughts slowly began to be revealed. Feng Ziying didn't know if it was his own illusion. If not, it meant that Baoyu might have had some enlightenment.
What can I do if I just realize it? Character determines destiny. Baoyu has never been the kind of perseverant and able to endure hardships. He has been pampered since he was a child and has never been betrayed by others. Now he is increasingly discovering that this world is not like the Rongguo Mansion. The door is like a world at the bottom of a well. If you want to work hard, you can't find the way, you can't bear the hardship, and you don't want to face the mundane things. What can you do?
In a word, it means that one’s ambitions are high but his abilities are low, and his heart is full but his strength is not enough.
Yuanyang finally left. Feng Ziying's unintentional feelings made Yuanyang not so angry at last. Coupled with Feng Ziying's deliberate efforts to please, Yuanyang was finally coaxed into changing his mind. Although there was still anger on her face, Feng Ziying knew that she was just from her daughter's family. I just couldn't let go of face. After all, I came to visit my lover, but I never expected to be forced to hide behind the bed and watch a fight between my lover and a goblin who was not a best friend but an acquaintance who grew up together. Then there was another scene. The drama between my best friend and her lover continues to unfold.
This era is too generous to men, to men with status and power. As a vested interest, Feng Ziying couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart, this era is so **** good.
After staying out all night, the women in the house will naturally ask questions.
Feng Ziying has a very good history in this regard. Although most of the scholars in the capital city choose to have drinking and cultural gatherings in some famous gardens, there are also many scholars who go to brothels for debauchery after drinking. As long as they don't stay overnight, they can No problem. Of course, there are many scholars staying in brothels. As long as they are not caught by the censors on the spot, there is no problem. Everyone understands this tacitly.
However, Feng Ziying almost never goes to such occasions, and even does not bother to attend first-class cocktail parties and cultural gatherings. This not only makes Shen Yixiu and Baochai feel at ease, but also a bit regretful. After all, those cultural gatherings are often for publicity. The best stage for a scholar's reputation, but my husband disdains going to such occasions. His reputation is so great that he no longer needs to prove himself in this way.
"My husband is really destined to be with the Jia family. He drank too much every time he went to Rongguo Mansion. Or maybe the wine in Rongguo Mansion is particularly delicious?" Shen Yixiu looked at her husband holding his daughter in front of the window and couldn't help joking. : "I heard that the husband of the Jia family, who was born with a jade in his mouth, didn't study? If the hairpin family continues to be like this, it won't be able to withstand the rain and wind."
One sentence made Baochai and Baoqin sitting aside, as well as Qingwen and Ying'er standing aside, all change their expressions slightly.
Although Shen Yixiu's tone was very fair and calm, he was naturally a bit contemptuous of the Jia family's situation.
It is different for Baochai and the others. The four families of King Jia Shi, Xue and others are in the same spirit, and even now they are still related by marriage and have close contacts. Naturally, Baochai and Baoqin are a little worried, but Qingwen is. It turned out that she was working as a maid for Baoyu, so she was naturally even more touched.
I was busy at home last night and didn’t get home until late at night. I’m sorry.
