Chapter 1834: Ren Zi Juan’s first confrontation, Zi Ying shows her edge (2)
Stepping into the Grand View Garden, a cool breath hits your face. The gate remains the same, and the green peaks are the same, but it feels like a different world.
After standing in front of Cuizhang for a long time, Feng Ziying entered the Grand View Garden.
Qinfang Pavilion, Green Smoke Bridge and Qinfang Stream are all vividly visible, with thousands of reds and lingering fragrance.
Feng Ziying was filled with emotions. It had only been a month, and it seemed that this place was extremely far away from her, and a little more strange.
"Uncle, where do you start looking?" Jia Qiang asked with a smile: "You are more familiar with this place than your nephew. My nephew also came in twice before it was built. After the girls moved in, they didn't come here. pass."
"Let's go from the right side." Feng Ziying suddenly lost interest. Thinking of someone like Zhang Chi wandering around, she felt even more bored. She wanted to leave, but couldn't find a suitable reason, talking to Jia Qiang in such high spirits. , now that everyone has come in, it is a bit weird to leave without even looking.
After passing Qinfang Pavilion, Feng Ziying walked along the wide stone path on the right, looking at the courtyard of Yihongyuan across the stream, but it was already quiet.
“Master, I don’t know how Uncle Bao is doing now?” Jia Qiang seemed to have noticed Feng Ziying’s gaze and asked softly.
"I said hello in prison, but I didn't suffer much, but he was used to being pampered, and now he suddenly lost his freedom, he must not be used to it. Besides, no matter how he said hello in prison, it would not be the same as outside. You are so carefree and comfortable here, and you still have to spend money on food and clothing to keep you fed and clothed, but the people in prison don't have much entanglement with the outside. Even if they sell me face, they still have to pay for it." Feng Ziying sighed. In one breath, "Fortunately, Yuanyang knows how to do things. After I told her, she knew how to do it, so she felt relieved."
Baoyu and Jia Huan actually suffered a bit when they entered. As for the jailer, it doesn't matter who you are when you come in. Even if they say hello, they just don't blackmail you or treat you harshly.
But if you are ignorant and do not know how to be filial, then you will definitely have to be sorted out in every aspect. Even the restraint of emptying the toilet every day can make Baoyu, Jia Huan, and other embarrassing things that have never been experienced. You want to cry but have no tears.
Not to mention how mediocre and mean the food is, the toilet will not let you empty it for two more days. The smell will permeate the entire cell and make you feel restless and restless. Ordinary people cannot understand this feeling.
It's like this everywhere. If you don't use money, the little characters here will torture you to death with all kinds of tricks. These people have been in prison for many years and rely on this to make a living. When it comes to cleaning up and tossing people, They are the most professional.
It wasn't until Feng Ziying went in that the situation improved slightly. Later, Yuanyang also went there from time to time, but he couldn't just go in, but with more money, he could go in once in a while to comfort everyone.
"It's also a hard time for Mr. Bao and Mr. Huan. They were used to enjoying happiness outside. Where have they ever suffered like this?" Jia Qiang also sighed, "I just don't know how the government will deal with their serious crimes of rebellion. ? It would be nice to be able to come out as soon as possible."
"I hope so. The matter is serious and it won't be that easy, but as long as we are not convicted and dragged to the court to deal with the Nanjing rebels, it will be much easier to handle." Feng Ziying said casually.
The three of them walked along the path in front of the Cuicui Temple and the Bodhidharma Temple and the Jade Emperor Temple hidden among the woods and rocks. They crossed the Qinfang Gate Bridge and followed the stream behind the Zhujin Pavilion until they reached the Aojing Stream Pavilion. In front of the door, I watched several people pointing and drawing comments about the Aojingxi Pavilion opposite.
"Huh? Who is that? His Royal Highness is here, everyone else is waiting to avoid it!"
Several palace guards had already pressed forward, with a domineering and menacing attitude, like driving chickens and dogs away. Feng Ziying was a little surprised. He had not seen such a situation for a long time.
Looking at the opponent's posture, Jia Qiang was a little frightened, and couldn't help but whisper: "Uncle, it seems that it is His Royal Highness Shou Wang and the others, we..."
Feng Ziying didn't care. She stood still and said in a deep voice: "Is this His Royal Highness Prince Shou? I am subordinate Feng Keng."
Several guards looked back subconsciously and saw that Zhang Chi had already appeared with Lai Da.
"It turns out to be Ziying." Zhang Chi and Feng Ziying had met several times, but they were not happy. They invited each other to participate in poetry and cultural gatherings several times, but they were declined by the other party. This made Zhang Chi very angry. Fortunately, this person was not very happy with him. This was also true for Zhang Qi and Zhang Ji, which made Zhang Chi feel a little more balanced.
But now the situation is a little different. He is now the Zuojianguo, and he is only one step away from ascending to the position of Dabao. Although he knows that there will be a struggle here, Zhang Chi is full of confidence. After all, he has the advantage. In my opinion, all the princes in the court support the establishment of the leader. This advantage cannot be matched by anyone.
“I have met His Highness.” Feng Ziying bowed slightly and said with a smile: “I didn’t know His Highness was also here...”
“Haha, the Jia family rebelled, and the imperial court raided and sold their mansions. I heard that the Rongning Second Mansion occupies a large area and has a lot of things inside, so I came to take a look..." Zhang Chi nodded slightly and looked around.
"What did your Highness see?" Feng Ziying glanced at Lai Da who was hiding behind Zhang Chi's quilt. Although the man relied on someone, he was still unwilling to face Feng Ziying head-on.
“Others are normal, but the Grand View Garden is said to have been built for Concubine Jia to visit relatives, so it’s quite special.” Zhang Chi looked at Feng Ziying, “Why, Ziying also wants to buy this house? It’s consistent with Gu Gu’s preferences.”
If someone else buys Rong Ning's second mansion, even if Feng Ziying feels unhappy, she can still accept it. However, when she meets Zhang Chi, he really feels a little bored, and the phrase "the same preferences" also sounds a bit annoying to Feng Ziying. Unspeakable diaphragm response.
Not to mention, Zhang Chi really has a different flavor. Feng Ziying seems to be marrying Concubine Jia’s cousin. So if he can steal the favor, he really wants to be brother-in-law with Feng Ziying. Thinking of this, Zhang Chi can’t bear to He couldn't help but look at Feng Ziying one more time.
From Zhang Chi's point of view, as long as he reveals his intention to buy Rong Ning's Second Mansion, Feng Ziying should give in no matter how ignorant she is.
Although Xiao Fengxiu's famous name is very popular in the capital, it is only in the minds of the common people. For him, it is just a minister, and it is just that his father has favored him before. To be in this position now is a blessing.
"His Royal Highness Prince Shou likes this house?" Feng Ziying smiled faintly, "Ziying has been walking around Rongning's second house since she was a child, and she has a close feeling for every plant, tree, house and building here. Although something happened to the Jia family, Ziying Ying also thinks that the national law cannot tolerate it, but if he can keep these old houses, it can be considered as a memory."
Zhang Chi was stunned. He also heard that Feng Ziying didn't seem to mean to give in in his words, which was a bit surprising.
It’s just two houses, is it worth such a fuss?
Zhang Chi didn't care about these two houses. Although he did think they were good after seeing them, especially the beautiful provincial villa, which indeed cost a lot of money, but to him, the houses were nothing more than possessions. Although it was good, it was no big deal if he couldn't get it, but Feng Ziying's attitude made him feel a little uncomfortable.
She took a deep look at Feng Ziying and then said with a half-smile: "Ziying, this is for sale by the imperial court, and if you look at it, there are many over-the-top items in the provincial villa. Whoever buys it will need to demolish it. "
"Well, Ziying also knows this." Feng Ziying said calmly: "A few minor changes are of no consequence. Ziying is a nostalgic person, so..."
The wit in these words may seem vague to outsiders, but Zhang Chi understands it, and his expression suddenly turns ugly. The other party seems to have already determined that this house is in his pocket, and turns a blind eye to his attitude. He is the prince. , it’s the prison of the country, how can he endure this?
However, he also knew that Feng Ziying was Qi Yongtai's favorite disciple, and Qi Yongtai was still very powerful in the court. But he also knew that Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, and Li Tingji, civil servants from Jiangnan, were not from the same group as Qi Yongtai, so he Li Sancai, who was born in the North together with Qi Yongtai, was not on good terms with Qi Yongtai. Qi Yongtai's aloof and upright temperament was actually not very popular in the cabinet.
Thoughts were running around, Zhang Chi had not thought of how to express his attitude to the other party for a while. In fact, if Feng Ziying could be softer and even show the necessary respect for herself, Zhang Chi would not mind withdrawing from this bidding, no matter how good the house was. Di is nothing more than an external possession, how can it be compared with power?
It was just the other party's attitude that made him very uncomfortable, especially when he thought of Jia Yuanchun's condescending and cold attitude towards him, which seemed to be somewhat similar to Feng Ziying's attitude, he felt even more evil in his heart.
Smiling softly, Zhang Chi waved his hand pretending to be generous, "This house is indeed nice. No wonder Ziying likes it so much. However, the location is a bit inferior. It's okay to use as a separate house. I was talking about finding a quiet place. It's just right." Generally speaking, I think it’s quite appropriate now that I’ve seen it,…”
This was already a vague threat, but it also contained a subtext. How could Feng Ziying not hear it? It was just that he wanted to give up his love, but did this guy have so much money?
Feng Ziying doesn't know what the family backgrounds of Xu Junru and Prince Shou are, but princes like this are under the eyes of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Long Jinwei. Compared with civil servants and military generals, the supervision is stricter. If they want to make a living, they generally have to Looking for white gloves, one or two hundred thousand taels of silver, maybe they can get it, but they won't get it so easily.
