Chapter 2487 Gui Zijuan Er mentions the face and orders, and comes to Jia’s house
Feng Ziying didn’t talk much about Jia Jing’s issue, because Jia Zhen obviously didn’t know much about his father’s plans and thoughts, so he only said that Jia Jing had reached an agreement and would not return to Beijing for the time being.
I have to say that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, the father and son, made Jia Jing very disappointed. Jia Jing never disclosed many things to the father and son, which showed that he was uneasy about his children and grandchildren.
Perhaps as Jia Jing himself said, keeping them unaware of many things is actually a kind of protection for them, which can prevent them from getting involved in unnecessary troubles. They also do not have the ability to deal with these troubles and solve problems.
Of course, in order to pacify everyone on the Jia family, Feng Ziying also told everyone that Jia Jing was fine and had been pardoned. He was just staying in Jiangnan temporarily to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Feng Ziying did not lie. Jia Jing was very disappointed with the performance of Prince Yizhong, or Emperor Wan Tong. Because of this, he had other plans early on.
In Jia Jing's view, Emperor Wan Tong's poor performance of only trying to keep his line of throne will definitely be firmly suppressed by the civil servants, and there will never be a chance to turn around.
In this case, choosing the side of Emperor Wan Tong would be asking for trouble, so he categorically rejected Emperor Wan Tong's solicitation after he ascended the throne, saying that he was no longer interested in state affairs and just wanted to be free and spend the rest of his life leisurely.
However, after Feng Ziying had an in-depth talk with him, Jia Jing's tone softened slightly.
Feng Ziying hoped that Jia Jing could help him sort out some of his connections in Jiangnan, especially the connections among the gentry in the inland areas to the south and west and in Jiangxi.
The merchant groups that Feng Ziying was familiar with were mainly concentrated along the river and the sea, and he was not so familiar with inland areas such as Jiangxi and South Zhili.
Jia Jing followed Prince Yi Zhong and worked hard in Jiangnan for many years, and was especially familiar with the connections in Jiangxi. Feng Ziying hoped that he could use his remaining energy, and the reason and condition he gave was that he would help the Jia family slowly recover and let the Jia family regain their strength. The Jia family will not completely fall to the bottom.
In Feng Ziying's view, this is a united front strategy, using all resources that can be used for one's own use.
No matter what happened in the past, even Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong themselves can find some points of agreement, so why can't Jia Jing join hands?
After negotiating with Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, Feng Ziying naturally went to Jia Mu's yard to visit the female relatives.
Needless to say, Jia Mu, Wang is about to become her future mother-in-law. If a concubine can be considered a "wife", she is also Tanchun's legitimate mother-in-law, not to mention Yuanchun.
Xing is also the aunt of Yingchun.
There are also Li Wan and Youshi.
Years ago, we met Li Wan twice. On the one hand, we had a good time to comfort her lovesickness, and on the other hand, we came to meet her two cousins.
On the contrary, Li Min and Li Qi were very surprised that his cousin seemed to be younger and more enchanting than a few years ago.
Especially the toiletries and rouge powder, which are not cheap at first glance, but isn't the Jia family in difficulty now and relying on the Feng family for relief?
In such a situation, you need to be restrained no matter what, so as not to cause criticism, right?
They also felt that their cousin was in a very good mood, and she seemed to be looking forward to life. She was completely different from the languid and hopeless look she had a few years ago.
Is it really because Lange'er passed the exam that she suddenly regained her youth?
Li Min and Li Qi even mentioned this strange change to Feng Ziying, which puzzled them and made Feng Ziying feel guilty.
I wonder what they will think if one day they find out that they have been the guest of their cousin who has been a virgin for many years. Will their image collapse suddenly?
So the relationship between Feng Ziying and Li Wan became increasingly cold and calm in front of others.
Tanchun, Xichun and Xiangyun are not here.
After all, they are getting married, so when facing their fiancé, they have to avoid it publicly at least. However, after the elders leave, meeting them in private is not as rigid as imagined.
In addition to informing Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen about the things that have been agreed upon, this group of people also inevitably asked about some situations in Jiangnan, and Feng Ziying also answered them one by one.
Of course, the more important thing is Baoyu’s “work arrangement”.
The Hanlin Academy is not that easy to get into, but Guan Yingzhen is already the Minister of Rites, so it is safe to arrange for Feng Ziying, who is a ninth-ranking official.
It is actually a routine operation to resolve an engon first and then transfer to the Hanlin Academy.
Before Feng Ziying went to Jiangnan, Feng Ziying asked Guan Yingzhen to use Emperor Wantong's accession to the throne to settle the tributes of some officials and wealthy children to deal with Jia Baoyu.
Now it has been put on hold for a few more months. When the situation has calmed down, it will not cause much noise if people are quietly crammed into the Hanlin Academy.
A person like the Hanlin Academy who is waiting for an imperial edict is only from the ninth rank, which can be said to be the last among the lowest. Moreover, it is Qingshui Yamen, with a low official rank, but after all, it is an official and not a official. What Jia Baoyu and the Jia family value most is this halo. , different from what others expected.
Feng Ziying's opinion is to wait until after the Spring Festival Competition and then find an opportunity to put Jia Baoyu in.
Hearing this accurate news, everyone in the Jia family was extremely grateful.
Jia Baoyu's affairs have become an obstacle to the Jia family. If Jia Baoyu's affairs are not arranged well, in Jia's mother's words, she will never rest in peace.
The marriage between Jia Baoyu and Niu is now lukewarm. Niu has been arguing and going back to her parents' home every three days, which makes Jia Baoyu extremely disturbed and almost wants to divorce.
Of course, this is just talk. The Jia family's Jia Lian and Li's incident is already a laughing stock. If Jia Baoyu wants to reconcile again, the sky will really fall.
However, Feng Ziying feels that the Jia family has not changed their mentality. Is the Jia family now still the Jia family at the time of Rongning's second mansion?
There is no reputation or prestige. Even daily expenses must be financed by the Feng family. Do you still need to consider these things?
There are so many aristocratic families in the capital city that have come to an end over time.
The four kings are also in such a gloomy state, and the Hachigong family, such as the Shi family and the Ma family, have long since disappeared and become abject poverty.
There is no need to say more about Jia Huan, Jia Lan and Jia Cong. Everything is in Feng Ziying’s plan.
It's just that Jia Cong is a little more troublesome, that is, we have to wait until Jia She's problem is solved. But fortunately, Jia Cong is still young, so he doesn't have to worry too much about this, and he still has time.
After we finished talking, it was time for lunch, so naturally we had to save food.
In the morning, I talked to my elders. After lunch, I inevitably had to talk to my peers, which was also an instruction to them.
"There is no need to be anxious about Baoyu. During this period of time, he is cultivating his mind and character in his mansion. He has read more collections of classics and history, entered the Hanlin Academy, and learned more from his colleagues. Moreover, after the Spring Festival Competition, Xinke Sandingjia and the Shujishi also Everyone comes in to observe the government, and you can also communicate with them..."
"Brother Huan, it's a good time to study. Don't think that passing the exam means you are arrogant. There is still a long way to go. Spring and Autumn are two different things. I think you may not be able to do it in this subject. It is estimated that you will be able to do it in the next subject. It’s bigger.”
"Brother Lan and Brother Cong should not be discouraged. This subject is an encyclopedia, and the next subject is a serious subject. Study hard. Diligence is the path to a mountain of books, and there is no end to the ocean of learning. You will realize it for yourself... "
After the advice, several nephews and nephews of the Jia family were full of gratitude.
Jia Huan has an unusual relationship, so naturally he wants to see her alone.
“You want to leave the Jia family?” Feng Ziying frowned.
"Brother Feng, I actually had this idea for a long time, before anything happened at home, but then the situation changed so quickly that I had no room for resistance at all, so I could only passively get involved, and the result was like this. , I feel really unwilling."
Jia Huan has a bit more calm demeanor than before. After all, he is also a young man of eighteen years old, but there is still a bit of stubbornness and gloominess in his eyebrows.
“The Jia family has become like this now. If you leave, you will get some unnecessary reputation. Have you ever thought about it?”
Feng Ziying looked at Jia Huan.
"So what? I don't care about this anymore. What have I gained from being in the Jia family for so many years? Now isn't the second brother Bao going to the Hanlin Academy? Isn't it enough to get ahead? There is no need for me, a concubine, to come out to replace Jia. Is the Ieguang clan proud of its ancestors?"
Jia Huan's words were a bit more teasing and disdainful, and the smile at the corner of his mouth revealed his true thoughts.
If it weren’t for Brother Feng’s support, would Baoyu be able to enter the Hanlin Academy?
What if you enter the Hanlin Academy?
Jia Huan thought it was a joke.
I don’t know what the people at home think. When entering the Hanlin Academy, you have to go in openly and openly like Brother Feng and come out openly. Only in that way can you honor your ancestors.
Such a sneaky way to get in through the back door through Ngong is an unfashionable way and will only lead to ridicule.
Hearing the anger in Jia Huan's words, Feng Ziying also felt that it was a bit difficult to handle. This Huan Lao San had such an extreme character. Although he had changed a lot with age in the past two years, his nature was easy to change and hard to change. For Jia Huan, it was hard to change his nature. The family's grievances are getting deeper and deeper.
"Brother Huan, as a scholar, you still have to pay attention to your reputation. Filial piety is even more important. And your mother will definitely not leave the Jia family. How are you doing?" Feng Ziying was talking about Jia Huan's biological mother, Aunt Zhao. Not Wang.
Jia Huan also understood, with a look of hesitation on his face, "The third sister married Brother Feng, and the third sister can also take care of her in the future..."
"Nonsense, your third sister is your third sister, you are you!" Feng Ziying's face darkened, "In this case, if you pass the imperial examination today, needless to say, I cannot agree to your leaving home, that will only give others a handle. Of course, that’s another way of saying that you want to go out to study. If you don’t pass the exam, you said you want to travel and study. I can agree with this. By then your third sister will have passed the exam, and it will be convenient to go back to Jia’s house..."
