Chapter 1582 Xin Zijuan Interlude
Amused by Xiangyun's pitiful and funny words, Baochai couldn't help but hugged Xiangyun's arm and said with a smile: "Oh, I can't see how pitiful Yun girl is now. Where did that bold and frivolous wild girl go? Is it my turn to be pitiful? "
"Sister, Sister Yun is right. We haven't been back for a long time. The sisters are all looking forward to talking together. Well, even having a glass of wine and talking in bed together at night." Baoqin also smiled and agreed.
In fact, Baochai has been moved in her heart for a long time, but she also knows that being a woman is different from being a girl before. If a woman doesn't go home at night, even if she returns to her parents' home, she must get her husband's permission. It is said that it is equivalent to her mother's family, but without her husband's approval, Baochai would rather work hard to go back at night to avoid any rift between the husband and wife.
However, Tanchun could understand Baochai's difficulties and said with a smile: "Sister Bao is worried that Brother Feng will not agree. If that doesn't work, just let Brother Feng stay in our house for one night. He has been drunk in the past." It’s not like I’ve never stayed in the guest room in our house, but it’s true that today I can’t sleep with Sister Bao in the same bed.”
These words made Baochai's cheeks turn red. She couldn't help but want to tear Tanchun's mouth apart, "Damn girl, you dare to tease me. Let me see what happens when you get married in the future." In this way, can I still be as sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued as I am now?"
All the girls burst into laughter again. For married women, this kind of joke, which is neither serious nor serious, is nothing at all. For unmarried girls, it is a little out of line, but it is also within the acceptable range. Inside, it actually adds a bit of teasing interest.
After playing in Hengwu Garden for a while, the girls went out and climbed up a high hill along the stone stairs on the east side. This is the back of Jiayin Hall. From a distance, above are the Dazhu Mountain and Tubi Mountain high on Dazhu Mountain. At the villa, the girls were laughing and playing along the mountain path up the mountain.
The mountain road was winding, but the girls were in a good mood, and the sun was shining brightly. They walked all the way to the big platform outside Tubi Villa and looked far into the distance. The entire Grand View Garden and even Rongning Mansion were all in sight, which was refreshing and refreshing.
When Feng Ziying met the girls, they had already come down from Tubi Villa, walked around the Aojingxi Pavilion, and came out. They met in front of the Jade Archway, and it was already lunch time.
Feng Ziying was still having dinner with Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Cong, but the girls had received a banquet given by Yuanchun, which was quite lively.
It was relaxing at noon. Feng Ziying also had a few drinks and went to the guest room to rest early.
Before going to bed, Baoxiang came to announce Ying'er's arrival.
Baochai sent Ying'er to tell the two girls that they wanted to stay in the Grand View Garden. Hengwuyuan would definitely not be able to live there. Baochai would live in Qiu Shuang in Tanchun, and Baoqin would live in the Lotus Champs in Xiangyun. Naturally, Feng Ziying would not object. .
It is a rare trip back, so that the two daughters can happily celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition, Aunt Xue has also returned to Rongguo Mansion, so it is right for the two daughters Baochai and Baoqin to return to their parents' home.
Having taken a nap for half an hour, I felt refreshed, but no one came to disturb me at noon, so it was hard to feel at ease.
I thought Siqi would come, but probably because Baochai and Baoqin were here, the girl didn't dare to come.
"Jia Rui?!" Feng Ziying picked up the tea and put it to her mouth. When she heard Baoxiang coming to report, she put it down in surprise, "Does he have something to report?"
"Well, it's just outside. He looks sneaky. He doesn't know what's going on and refuses to say anything." Baoxiang nodded.
Baoxiang didn't know Jia Rui's other identity, but Feng Ziying was vaguely aware of it. Jia Rui also knew that Feng Ziying had guessed his identity, but he didn't care.
Fourth-grade civil servants like Feng Ziying are already taboo to Long Jinwei.
As long as there is no treason involved, the civil servants of the fourth rank and above have little influence. Even if they spy on some secrets, they can only be transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which will be handed over to the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. To deal with it, this is also the most typical manifestation of the Zhou Dynasty's preferential treatment of civil servants and the use of civil servants to control military affairs.
“Well, there is still some time, let him come in.” Feng Ziying nodded.
Feng Ziying didn't have much prejudice against Jia Rui. Even though this guy wanted to eat swan meat and wanted to take a bite of Wang Xifeng, he wisely gave up some of his unrealistic ideas after knowing that Wang Xifeng was his lover. , and even took the initiative to cater to herself. This is a character who is very aware of current affairs. Not only does Feng Ziying not dislike him, she even appreciates him.
That's why Wang Xifeng later asked him to recruit him into the business of redeeming the soldiers of the capital camp, so that this guy could have a share of the pie. Moreover, this guy did a very good job, not inferior to Jia She and Jia Rong. You need to know this Si's network resources are far inferior to those of Jia She and Jia Rong.
Jia Rui came in and looked happy when he saw Feng Ziying. After bowing his head, he said, "Jia Rui has met Uncle Feng."
"Brother Rui, sit down." Although Jia Rui is a few years older than Feng Ziying and is of the same generation as Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and Jia Baoyu, he accepted it calmly when Feng Ziying called him "Brother Rui". , I don’t feel inappropriate at all.
Before he could speak, Jia Rui glanced sideways at Baoxiang who was standing aside.
Feng Ziying laughed. This guy actually acted like this. He looked like he had a confidential report. He waved his hand and signaled Baoxiang to go out. Baoxiang was also very unhappy, but he still went out honestly.
"Okay, you and I are the only two left. Brother Rui, do you have official business?" Feng Ziying looked at Jia Rui, "I know your identity. If you really have official business, you shouldn't come to me. You should have your reporting channel. Shuntian Prefecture will not care about your affairs. Of course, if something goes wrong with your activities in the gambling house, you will be arrested by Daxing or Wanping County Government or the Five Cities Military and Horse Division of Shuntian Prefecture. Take it, that’s another matter, but I don’t think you’ll come to me now about these things, right?”
Jia Rui blushed.
He also knew that this man was the real figure behind the local gangsters in Shuntian Prefecture. Not to mention that guy Ni Er was this man’s number one henchman. In the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen alone, the third class of yamen and the execution room were carrying out large-scale operations. During the rotation adjustment, many people he used to know were dismissed, and some were promoted. In short, those who listened to this man and were able to do things would be promoted and reused, and those who were just dawdling would not be able to do so. If they didn't listen to the greeting, they would just pack up and get out, and many of them were even thrown directly into the prison cell of the prison hall.
His little livelihood is naturally not worth mentioning in the eyes of this man. It is not easy to earn a few dollars, and it is not in the eyes of this man. Of course, he will not bother the other party for such a thing.
“What are you talking about, sir? How can such a little trick fall into my eyes?” Jia Rui laughed along with him.
"Not necessarily. You are from the Jia family, but Xing Zhong is also a relative of the Jia family. How about you let him get in? I heard from Ni Er that he owes a lot of money outside, including yours, right? "Feng Ziying picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "I heard that Xing Zhong is now hiding in Tibet. He was driven out like a lost dog with nowhere to hide. The girl in the garden told me that his daughter had cried several times..."
Jia Rui felt excited, he couldn't bear the blame himself. As expected, this man still targeted Miss Xing, otherwise he probably wouldn't care about such trivial matters at all.
"Uncle, your wishes are really too small." Jia Rui explained with a pale face: "I'm afraid you have heard about what kind of person that Xing Zhong is. After coming to the capital from Suzhou, he was in a state of intoxication, isn't it? Drinking alcohol means entering a gambling house. Yes, the young ones do some work in the gambling houses, but which gambling house does not do these things to make a living? If the young ones don't do it, others will do it, and the criminals come and go in the gambling houses. , whores and gambles wildly, relying on the power of the eldest wife of Rongguo Mansion, everyone is flattering him, but there is no father and son in this casino, and it is impossible for him to let you go when he gets on the stage, and he will lose everything in a few seconds. …”
Jia Rui began to explain how the criminal was arrogant at first, how he later failed to repay his debts, and how he finally turned into evading debts and hiding from them. He also talked about his family's difficulties.
"Xing Zhong doesn't owe much here. I reduced some of what he owed originally, and later Mr. Ni paid back some for him. But he can't stand the old behavior of this guy. Not only did Mr. Ni He also blocked the gambling houses in Beicheng and Dongcheng, where even Mr. Ni might not be able to intervene. But he owed money and was kicked out of the house, and he came to me to borrow money again. I I wasn't willing to borrow it at first, but he was crying and begging for his life, otherwise the people over there in the east city would have to chop off one of his hands, so I had no choice but to lend him 800 taels. As for him, I don’t know how much I have borrowed from other places, I guess there are still two to three thousand taels.”
Jia Rui is not exaggerating. It is true that Xing Zhong is too good at gambling and has no control. When he loses, he wants to make more money. But this casino gives you the opportunity to make money at will. Occasionally, you can make one or two money. Every time, it was just to entice you to sink deeper, but Xing Zhong didn't have this awareness, so he naturally fell deeper and deeper.
When Feng Ziying saw Xing Xiuyan today, she saw his eyes twinkling. It was probably because her father had solved the trouble for him before, but he continued to fall into it again and made such a big hole. He was not a cornucopia either. There is no way she can solve these troubles for her father without any restrictions.
In fact, Feng Ziying just asked casually. He had heard about Xing Zhong's matter, but it had been dealt with before, and no one came to him again. Of course, he couldn't take the initiative to ask. It was Jia Rui who came to the door, so he asked. , As for Xing Xiuyan, he has no plans to do anything now.
