Chapter 2477 Gui Zi Juan: Happy family, happy life
"This is not just a place to go, but a real good place." Miaoyu turned over and stood close to her husband with a gentle tone, "There are so many people in the capital city who want to come to our house. We need to recruit them." If there are people, the queue can stretch for two miles."
“Is it such an exaggeration?” Feng Ziying laughed, “If you say it’s just a case of refugees coming to Beijing in a disaster year, how can there be so many idle people in this ordinary year?”
“My husband, you really can’t believe it. The refugees’ houses won’t just ask for it, or they’ll just buy it from a girl.”
Miaoyu seemed to have stayed in the house for a long time, and gradually became familiar with the things in the house. This completely overturned Feng Ziying's previous impression that he had nothing to do with her.
"Life in the capital city is not easy now. There are many people who are willing to work in the mansions of wealthy families like ours. They are dignified, stable, and prestigious. When you go out and say that they are working in the Feng Mansion, everyone outside will want to work there." I’m impressed, even if I want to settle the bill, people are happy to do so..."
These words shocked Feng Ziying. Is the Feng family so popular and respected in the capital city now?
I don’t feel that I have done much, and I haven’t stayed in the capital city for a long time. Why do I feel like I am the most wealthy family in the capital city?
“Miaoyu, isn’t that an exaggeration?” Feng Ziying pulled Miaoyu’s body and asked in surprise: “Our Feng family has such a good reputation?”
“Ms. sir, you are a second-level Jinshi, a common scholar, Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan, and now you are the minister of the Ministry of War. I have been several governors. Our family is both civilized and military. Why shouldn’t our reputation be good?”
Miao Yu’s eloquent rebuttal.
"My wife and my concubine are generous and kind to others. Our Feng family's monthly income is much better than other families. If the servants encounter three disasters or five illnesses, my wife will arrange special pensions. These cannot be hidden from others, including the servants. Anyone who goes back and forth will know which one is better and which one is worse by just asking. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. As our Feng family goes back and forth, its reputation will naturally improve."
“Don’t you care about these things now?”
Feng Ziying knew that her mother and aunt were no longer involved in these matters. Each house was in charge of each house, but the monthly payment standard was still the same. Yuanyang took the lead in ordinary chores, with Ping'er and Jin Chuan'er assisting.
"My wife and concubine don't care, but the rules have been established for a long time. Xiao rules and Cao follows, and every room follows this, isn't it the same?" Miaoyu squinted her eyes and said nothing, obviously feeling sleepy again, " Yuanyang and the others also do things meticulously and carefully, so everyone is relaxed and happy..."
Looking at Miaoyu who was fighting with her eyes, Feng Ziying also shrank down and simply hugged the woman before going back to sleep.
After the lights were turned off, I fell asleep to the sound of beautiful rain.
Ashes stay in the bottle to warm the fire, and incense adds to warm the quilt.
…
Feng Ziying didn't get up until he was already asleep, and Miaoyu had already gotten up at this time.
Yuguan came in to wait on Feng Ziying to put on her clothes, and then Feng Ziying returned to Jingqi Study from Cuicui'an.
I have to say that Jia Baoyu chose the site of Yihongyuan very well. It is not far from Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Huancui Temple. To the east, there are mountains and rocks and dense trees, which is particularly quiet. When you go out, turn left and you will see the Grand View Garden. The door is convenient for entry and exit.
After moving in, the original provincial villa was fully used. Everyone usually lives in a building surrounded by Qinfang River. Each room is in a ring-shaped two-story building, similar to the Fujian earth buildings. The layout is just that there are separate partitions in the middle, and doors are required to enter and exit. But in fact, most of the time, everyone would rather choose to live in the original residence.
Daiyu is in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Baochai is in Hengwuyuan, Yingchun is in Zhujinlou, Xiuyan is in Luxueguang, Shen Yixiu is in Daoxiang Village, and Youeryousan is in Qujingyuan. The newcomers are not worried. , Li Min and Li Qi originally lived in Qiangweiyuan, but Qiangweiyuan was a bit smaller. Now with their consent, they arranged to move to Ningxixuan in Dongfu, while Zhen Baoyu arranged to live in Dengxian Pavilion.
The spring break of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very long. After Emperor Wan Tong ascended the throne, he also said that officials could rest until after the Lantern Festival before starting work. However, the Seventh Cabinet Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also needed someone on duty during the vacation to handle urgent official duties. .
But in fact, except for the cabinet and the Ministry of War, which need to be on duty, all these institutions can be regarded as being on duty. If there is an emergency, you can go directly to the minister's room and call for help.
Naturally, it was not Feng Ziying's turn on the first day of the lunar new year. Zhang Huaichang, the minister, would definitely have to go to work. Sun Chengzong was supposed to be at work on the second day of the lunar new year, but Sun Chengzong had a guest at home on the second day of the lunar new year, so he changed wheels with Feng Ziying and became Feng Ziying, who went to the Ministry of War Yamen on the second day of the lunar new year. Sitting on the paper.
The first day of the new year is also a time for the whole family to be happy. Feng Ziying took a sip of tea in Jingqi Study and went to Daoxiang Village. She first visited her daughter Tongniang, and then took Tongniang to Yingchun, Miaoyu and Xiuyan. Look at the sons and daughters.
The others were too young, but Tong Niang was the cutest at her age. After giving red envelopes to the children, Feng Ziying took Tong Niang to Baochai's place.
Baochai's face was rounded and she looked a little pregnant. Because she had eaten well and slept well, she was obviously plump and looked even more plump.
Tong Niang was also very sensible. She looked at Baochai's slightly protruding belly and asked in a sweet voice: "Is Er Niang's belly holding a little brother or a little sister? Aunt Qing said that the pointed belly button is the little brother, and the round belly button is the little brother." Yuan is the little sister,..."
Even Baochai was amused by Tong Niang’s childish words, and even ignored Tong Niang’s call of Aunt Qing.
Strictly speaking, Qingwen is just the girl from the first marriage, so she should not be called Aunt Qing, but only Aunt Qing. However, it is a family matter, and Shen Yixiu has no problem with it, and she has no need to offend anyone.
“Then does Tong Niang want Er Niang to have a little brother or a little sister?” Baochai asked with a smile.
“Well, I hope it’s a little brother.” Tong Niang said with eyes flashing.
“Why?” Baochai was a little surprised. ,
"Because I have a little brother, I can bully him in the future. Even my father said that you should beat your brother as early as possible..." Tong Niang looked at Feng Ziying and said.
Feng Ziying was stunned. When had she said that? It seems like I said that.
When she took Tong Niang to tease Anlang, she said that her daughter should hit her brother as early as possible, so that Anlang would grow up and Tong Niang would not be able to win in the future. Tong Niang nodded and agreed, and at that time she also Shen Yixiu and Yingchun laughed heartily.
Tong Niang's words also made Baochai laugh. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at her husband, and asked Tong Niang softly: "How can my husband teach such a bad child? Why do you have to beat your brother?"
"Well, if you don't beat your brother, he won't be able to beat him when he grows up." Tong Niang thought for a while and said.
Baochai was very angry. The little girl's answer was impeccable, but the premise of her words was that she must beat her brother.
Feng Ziying was also amused and smiled happily. She couldn't help but hugged Tong Niang and said, "Tong Niang is the best. From now on, all the brothers have to listen to you. If anyone doesn't listen, he will be beaten, okay? Who makes Tong Niang the boss? Where’s my sister?”
Seeing Feng Ziying doting on Tong Niang so much, Baochai felt a little jealous inside, "My husband really loves Tong Niang so much."
"If my sister gives birth to a daughter for my husband, he will like it just as much." Feng Ziying said cheerfully: "But if it is a son, then my husband will have to strictly control and teach them. Who makes them boys? They are destined not to be like girls. It's so easy to shoulder the future glory and splendor of the Feng family."
Feng Ziying's words made Baochai's mood stir again. If he gave birth to a son, he would be the legitimate son of his second wife. In the future, he would be proud and proud, and he could strengthen his back.
Seeing Baochai worrying about gains and losses, Feng Ziying held Baochai's catkins and said, "Okay, sister, just take care of yourself and take care of yourself. Don't think too much. No matter you have children or daughters, they are all of your husband's blood. I cherish them all the same, and as a husband, I hope that all the women in our family can have children, regardless of children. When we get older in the future, we will have someone to care about, right?"
"How old are you, my husband? Why do you say such old-fashioned things?" Baochai was also a little moved. She leaned into Feng Ziying's arms and said leisurely: "It was only after I became pregnant that I realized that there are many things I value. It’s not that important anymore, and I’ve even become a little sentimental, just looking forward to my husband coming to sit in the house more often and talking to me...”
Feng Ziying blinked, "Is my sister still complaining about the absurdity of her husband before she became a husband?"
"No, in fact, Sister Shen, I, and Sister Lin are not very dissatisfied. They also understand the difficulties and hardships faced by my husband, but there are so many women in this house. If they don't do something, how can they convince the public? Second Sister You , second sister, Baoqin, Miaoyu and Xiuyan, they are thinking about it day and night at home, haven't we thought about this love for them? "
Baochai's sensible words made Feng Ziying feel a little embarrassed, and she nodded: "More good wives have reminded me that my husband has a lot of faults, and it is also thanks to your constant advice that I will write them down for my husband." ”
"My husband is doing important things. The only thing I, Sister Shen and Sister Lin can do is to help my husband manage the back house well, without dragging down my husband or affecting my energy, so that my husband can do what he needs to do with all his heart and soul. I just ask that while your husband is busy, you can also comfort the women who miss your husband at home, not only your wives and concubines, but also the infatuated girls in the house..."
Baochai's gentle and calm words moved Feng Ziying even more. What he could say at this time was to solemnly nod his head to show his understanding.
