Chapter 1565 Xin Zijuan enters the Jia Mansion again (Part 1)
Jia Mu and Wang both nodded in agreement. Yuan Chun was right to think so. Feng Ziying's influence in Beijing was growing, and this was also true in the court.
The matter of selecting and establishing a reserve bank is so important that it cannot be hidden from Feng Ziying. It is estimated that he will also have his own channels to understand, analyze and judge the current situation.
Given the current situation, it is reasonable for both parties to exchange information.
“When will Brother Keng come over?” Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Mu.
Jia Mu shook her head, "Yuanyang came back and said that the Feng family didn't say anything and didn't see Brother Keng. They just left the words there."
Yuan Chun seemed to understand very well, "Grandma and mother don't have to worry. Brother Keng is no better than before. He is the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture and can be regarded as an important minister in the capital. He is busy with official duties every day and cannot escape at any time. He also knows the importance." , my granddaughter believes he will come soon."
Yuan Chun could only comfort herself in this way. She knew very well that to Feng Ziying, the Jia family, including herself, was not of much use. On the contrary, the Jia family now relied heavily on the Feng family. Under such circumstances, she had to expect them to remain as before. , which is also unrealistic.
“That big girl, now you...”
"My granddaughter wants to take a nap right now. If Brother Keng comes over, just ask someone to wake me up." Yuanchun ordered.
However, she didn't see Feng Ziying until she woke up from her nap in Yuanchun, which made her a little disappointed.
In fact, Feng Ziying had already received the news, and it was not easy to hide the bigger movements in the capital city from him. Yuanchun came out of the palace, and the sedan and the entourage went from Xi'anmen Street to Fuchengmen Street and then into Rongcheng. Ningjie, not to mention ostentatious, but also a big move, naturally spread to his ears long ago.
Yuanyang also brought the message early, but Feng Ziying didn't have much interest.
He couldn't understand what Jia Yuanchun was thinking and what he wanted to do. Did he really want to get involved in the battle between the emperor's sons to seize the heir?
Do you have the qualifications and strength?
What can you get in the end?
Are you still planning to make another contribution to the Jia family's success so that the Jia family can regain its glory?
The idea may be good, but it seems that the path has gone astray. The current situation is no longer the time when Emperor Taihe conquered the world. We still have to rely on the martial arts of our ancestors. What is left of the current martial arts?
In the fight for the throne among the princes, it is not the turn of martial arts families such as the Jia family to interfere. The martial arts families do not have much influence at all, let alone a decisive factor. Overestimating oneself and forcibly intervening will only bring disaster to oneself. disgrace.
Just because he felt that Jia Yuanchun or the Jia family was a little ignorant of current affairs, Feng Ziying had been struggling with how to deal with this family.
Of course Feng Ziying also estimated that Jia Yuanchun should have noticed something.
The decline of the Jia family is becoming more and more obvious now, and they have been reduced to borrowing money to live. Even though the Rongguo Mansion will not inform her of this situation, the girl Baoqin is also extremely smart and smart, and often travels between the Rongguo Mansion and the palace. To pass on the information, I am afraid that some clues have already been spied out, and Yuanchun will naturally be informed.
Yuanchun should also be trying to figure out how to prevent the Rongguo Mansion from falling into disrepair like the Gongma family of the Shi family and the Gongma family, and were directly removed from the wealthy family in Beijing. However, he couldn't find the right way. Maybe he should have a good talk with her today. , listen to her thoughts, um, even need to tell her heart to heart, and advise her not to make mistakes.
After all, now I seem to be a little bit like being on a pirate ship. Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu, both of whom are or will be married by a matchmaker, will enter the Feng Mansion to welcome the spring or even explore the spring.
How on earth did I fall into the Jia family’s trap unknowingly?
A small space can harm people, Feng Ziying laughed to herself.
But what does a man want in this life? Isn’t there a saying that is said in a crude way? Live for that, die for that, fight for that all your life; suffer from that, be fooled by that, and finally die for that.
To put it in a more elegant and advanced way, it is like lying drunk on a beauty's lap and claiming to be brilliant, but it seems that he cannot escape this.
If that were the case, Feng Ziying would probably really despise Jia Yuanchun.
Jia Yuanchun is also a scheming person. If he had been in the Rongguo Mansion, he would probably be more scheming than Tanchun. But if this kind of ability is placed in the palace and lacks strength to rely on, it seems a bit ridiculous. .
This feeling lingered in Feng Ziying's heart until Feng Ziying entered Rongguo Mansion.
Rongguo Mansion is also decorated with lights and colorfully painted today, giving it a cheerful look, but Feng Ziying can still feel a little loneliness hidden here.
The Rongguo Mansion is so big that it may not have been fully renovated in a year or two, and there are many dilapidated places. Although I lent money to the Jia family, the Jia family has too many places to spend money, and Tanchun can only Sprinkle peppercorns and spread them evenly everywhere. The most conspicuous places inside and outside the Rongguo Mansion have been renovated, but in remote corners, they can only make do.
In this stable alone, Feng Ziying saw that two stone steps that were damaged by the carriage wheels had not been replaced, and a large piece of wall had fallen off due to moisture and mold, so he simply used a piece of wood to cover it.
Seeing the leopard at first glance is enough to show that the Jia family is really in a very difficult situation.
"Brother Feng, you're here." Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Cong all rushed to greet him.
This can be considered the next generation of the Jia family. Feng Ziying glanced at the four of them. Except Jia Lian, they were all here.
“Well, the queen is already here?” Feng Ziying nodded.
"It's almost noon. I've been resting in the garden for a while now, so I guess it's time to get up." Baoyu was a little nervous and serious. "The empress said that when Brother Feng arrives, she will report in."
Feng Ziying was a little surprised.
After thinking about it, it was probably because he was getting married next month, and he also had to attend the Qiubian Festival in Tienwang Mountain. Yuanchun would probably talk to himself about this matter. It seemed that Baoyu had also changed, no longer like "Dream of Red Mansions". 》In the book, everyone is drunk and I spend my whole life alone, but in the end I am trapped by the current situation and defeated by worldly affairs such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Okay, Baoyu, just go and report it. Let's see when the empress is free. I'll talk to Brother Huan, Brother Lan and Brother Cong." Feng Ziying nodded. It seemed that Yuan Chun also planned to have a good relationship with her. We talked about it ourselves and found that this was exactly what we thought. Let's talk about what we want to achieve, so as not to misjudge and end up with a lot of feathers in the back.
After Baoyu left, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and Jia Cong accompanied Feng Ziying for a walk in the mansion.
"Brother Huan, the Autumn Palace Competition will be next year, are you sure?" Feng Ziying put his hands on his back and walked along the path in the main courtyard facing Yimen. Of course, he would not go directly to Yimen, but to Yimen. The corner gate next to it allows you to walk along the inner edge of Jia She's courtyard on the right to the southwest corner of the Grand View Garden.
"I have worked hard this year. It's just that the Qiuwei Competition is a competition between scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I really don't dare to say anything arrogant." Even so, Jia Huan's eyes were burning, and Feng Ziying nodded. No matter what happened in the end, At least having this confidence is a good thing.
Compared with Jia Huan, Jia Baoyu has many more problems. He is lazy and lacks determination and perseverance. Of course, this brings about lack of self-confidence. He wants to retreat when encountering a slight setback, but does not want to overcome difficulties. This is reflected in all aspects. is very prominent.
"Well, there is still some uncertainty in the imperial examination competition, but there is no need to be too persistent. You are still young and have many opportunities. If you can't do it next year, come back in three years. You will not be twenty years old by then." Feng Ziying encouraged He said, and then turned the topic to Jia Lan and Jia Cong: "Brother Lan and Brother Cong, the same goes for you. Next year you can try to take the county examination and test yourself as a scholar. Regardless of success or failure, at least it is an experience."
Both Jia Lan and Jia Cong also had their eyes shining and nodded repeatedly, especially Jia Lan. Finally, when the master spoke, he quickly said: "Teacher, this disciple also has the same intention. Master Zhou has also been teaching hard this year." , the disciple has benefited a lot, and my mother also told the disciple that I must be very grateful to the two teachers..."
Li Wan's delicate face with light makeup flashed through Feng Ziying's mind, and a smile appeared on her face. It’s rare that I can give you and Brother Cong guidance. This county examination mainly depends on Teacher Zhou’s teaching. If you pass the county examination and prepare to participate in the Autumn Palace Competition, I will probably have more free time by then, so I can give you more guidance."
Jia Lan became more and more excited after hearing this, "Thank you so much, Master, for your teachings. Disciple will never forget it. My mother has said it to me several times. I hope I can have the opportunity to thank you in person..."
"Let's see, let's talk if we have time." Feng Ziying couldn't resist and nodded, "Your mother should have seen the empress today, right?"
"Well, everyone in the house has met the empress. The empress seemed to be a little weak, so she went to bed early." After all, Jia Lan was young, so he didn't have so many scruples about speaking and told the truth.
Jia Huan didn't care about this. He didn't bother to ask what Jia Lan said. However, Jia Cong was very alert and continued: "I've been traveling all the way, and when I get home, I'm usually in a good mood but a little tired, so..."
Feng Ziying couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and glance at this invisible disciple who didn't speak much.
This Jia Cong is really rarely mentioned in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions". In my impression, he only appeared once or twice, and they were all transparent. But today, Jia Cong performed well. Compared with Jia Lan's innocence, he seems to be more naive. Much smarter.
“Well, the queen is worried in the palace. It’s hard to feel relaxed when she comes back. She is probably tired.” Feng Ziying smiled and nodded, but in her heart she thought highly of this disciple who could talk.
