“There are a lot of rumors?” Feng Ziying wrote seriously on the desk.
Over the years, there are not many habits that I can stick to. Practicing calligraphy is one of them. I don’t have to ask how good my calligraphy can be, but I still have to say that I have made great progress compared to when I first came to this world.
"There is a lot of excitement. Not only are the odds published in tabloids, but there are also various bets and bets in teahouses and restaurants. Ni Er and Jia Qiang both said that they are available in Jingou Gambling House and Grand View Garden, and now they have become This is a feast of public opinion that has been rare in the capital city for many years."
Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun stood on the left and right, talking with each other with smiles.
"In addition, Mr. Yucun, Mr. Yucun also asked someone to bring a message, hoping to meet you." Daiyu frowned slightly, "I have been thinking, it turns out that Mr. Yucun is not so particular, but now he is still strict. He also brought a special message to the Changsui to ask for a meeting with me, and it is indeed Mr. Yucun who has been following me for many years."
Ping'er, who was standing at the other end when Feng Ziying put down her pen, came over and cleaned Feng Ziying's hands with a hot towel.
Feng Ziying smiled and nodded to express her gratitude, and pinched Ping'er's buttocks, which made Ping'er resentful.
Daiyu and Xiangyun were used to it and were not surprised. Instead, they teased Ping'er with smiles and eyes.
My husband also likes to amuse himself like this when he is relaxing at home. At first, he was not used to it and felt it was detrimental to his image, but over time it has become a way to close the relationship. This is also a rare relaxing moment for the family.
There are too many women in the family.
This is the heartfelt emotion of every housewife.
It's not that they are jealous. Now, Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu all have legitimate children, and they are growing up healthily. Besides, they are still in their childbearing years and will definitely have children, and their husband-in-law also loves them very much. Therefore, they don't worry about their status at all. No one can challenge their status.
What they worry about is whether their husbands’ health and energy can take care of them.
A few years ago, the three daughters of Shen Xuelin had not been together for a long time, and they were still confused and did not understand the things in the inner house. But now that they have had several children, many things have become clear.
Shen Yixiu is one year older than Feng Ziying, Baochai is two years younger than Feng Ziying, and Daiyu is slightly younger, but even so, Feng Ziying will turn thirty this year, and the girls are all of the age of tigers and wolves, so naturally they understand The needs of women of similar age in the back house.
Why is it said that **** is like a bone scraper? There are so many women surrounding a man, not to mention the beauty of the country, but almost all those who can catch the eye of the father-in-law are selected from thousands of miles away, and they all have some emotions. Under such circumstances, which man could bear to say no?
But if you can't bear to refuse, then you have to forge iron and harden yourself. But no matter how hard you are, you will not be able to withstand the training of these women, who are like the Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace.
Not to mention the large number of women in the house, there are also wild women outside who can’t be counted with one hand.
Shen Xuelin and the other three women knew about Wang Xifeng in Tianjin Wei, but they didn't mention it clearly. Even Li Wan now lives in Tianjin Wei, which made the three women a little suspicious, but they couldn't go into details.
There are also the two foreign women who have openly occupied a corner of Feng's house - Busia Mara and Zhezhe. They usually stay in Tianjin Wei, but after two or three months, they come to the house to stay for two or three days.
Lin Hongyu, who shuttled back and forth between Tianjin Wei and Capital City, was originally the girl next to Wang Xifeng, but now she actually looks like she's shaking off her hair, and she's working like crazy outside. What's the point?
There are also Qin Keqing in the capital city and Zhen Baochen in Yangzhou city. These are almost all on the surface.
Without the face, there must be more than one woman around Qin Keqing's side. Xianggong would "miss" every month for two or three days. I do n’t know, and Shen Xuelin also pretended not to know.
Men, you have to have some freedom, as long as you don’t go too far.
Fortunately, Feng Ziying is still very generous. She only has two or three days of "freedom" a month, and she never mentions external affairs and never causes trouble to the inner house. Therefore, Shen Xuelin and the other three women are also very satisfied.
It is true that there are too many women in the back house. If the husband-in-law still lingers outside all day long, then the family's public grain will be turned over, or the contracted fields will be deserted.
The rules of 47, 258, and 369 still have to be followed, but it is a bit of a challenge for the husband who is about to turn 30.
Although my husband has practiced Master Zhang's physical skills since he was a child and has never run out of this nourishing prescription, women all understand that they have to take it easy no matter what, otherwise if they run back forty, they will really have to do it. The ambition is high but the power is not enough, leaving a large house full of resentment towards the wife. There is no guarantee that some of the stories that often humiliate the family tradition in other wealthy houses will be staged. This is something Shen Xuelin and the other three women must resolutely put an end to.
Let the husband stay in the house as much as possible and don't go hunting for wild food outside. This is the unanimous opinion of Shen Xuelin and his three daughters.
At any rate, the women in this house all know their ins and outs and know how to measure their differences. They will not rush to exhaust the lake and catch the fish. If they are left outside, who knows what will happen to those wild women?
Women like Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing are the most worried women, Shen Xuelin, even though Xue Baochai and Wang Xifeng are still cousins.
If you don't let your husband wander outside, the people in the house will have to keep a close eye on him. People like Yuanyang and Ping'er who know everything and are very considerate, Daiyu and the others won't care too much.
"It's not a good time for Jia Yucun to come to visit at this time. Everyone is watching." Feng Ziying said in a moderate tone, "He has been the governor of Shuntian for several years, and he is very comfortable in the court. He will not offend anyone. Everyone thinks he is good. If the cabinet changes this time, it will inevitably bring about personnel changes. He may be a little restless, but he is a little strange when he comes to our door."
Feng Ziying knew that Jia Yucun and Gu Bingqian were very close, and she had a good relationship with Qiao Yingjia. Of course, she had always been in contact with him. Watching Fu Shi's promotion in the past two years probably made him envious and jealous.
In particular, Fu Shi was promoted from a Dali Temple prime minister to a minister, and immediately stepped into a position equal to his status. Although there is still some distance between the real power of Zuo Fudu Censor and him, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, he is also a third-rank official. Officials of the court have the same status and respect.
You must know that when Jia Yucun came to Beijing to become the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Fu Shicai was promoted from Baoan Zhizhou to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. In just a few years, he was promoted several levels, to Dali Temple Prime Minister, and then to the left deputy governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Wow, this is too far-fetched.
This round is facing huge personnel changes. No matter who wins, it means that the losing party will suffer a heavy setback, and its core strength will inevitably retreat. This is an opportunity for others.
In comparison, cabinet ministers like Feng Ziying, who watch the fire from afar and are in an invincible position, are worthy of their service.
Feng Ziying will eventually be rewarded for the position that becomes vacant.
Perhaps Jia Yucun had this idea.
"Who can be exempted from vulgarity? The same is true for Mr. Yucun." Daiyu sighed softly.
Shuntian Prefecture Yin is indeed a hot position. He is the only important minister who is not a court official. Because of the special status of Shuntian Prefecture, like other provinces, the left and right chief envoys and the punishment and inspection envoys are all second- and third-grade, but they are all He is not an important minister, but he, a third-rank governor, is listed as an important minister, which shows that he is unusual.
But Shuntian Prefecture Yin is always a local official, perhaps better than noble positions such as the Five Temple Ministers, and even comparable to ministers such as the Ministry of Industry, Agriculture, and the Ministry of Commerce, but it must be compared with the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War. Compared with the minister, he is slightly inferior, especially the ability to participate in political affairs at any time. This qualification is not comparable to that of local officials.
Jia Yucun hopes to get a better opportunity, get rid of the impression of always working in the local area, and enter the imperial court in order to achieve better development. It is also reasonable.
Just as he was talking, Baochai and Tanchun arrived hand in hand, and happened to overhear Daiyu and Feng Ziying talking about Jia Yucun.
“Since you have taken the road of becoming an official, you naturally want to seek advancement. Mr. Jia has done quite well in the position of Shuntian Prefecture, right? At least the public has not heard much about him,..."
Xue Baochai remembered that his brother had received help from him in the past, so he couldn't help but say a few words for Jia Yucun.
“He was indeed quite cautious in his position as the prefect of Shuntian, but his reputation as the prefect of Jinling was average and uneven..."
Xue Baochai somewhat disagreed, "In places like Jinling, a prefect must not only be able to do things, but more importantly, know how to do things. Jiangnan scholars regard it as the foundation. In addition, the Six Ministries of Nanjing are also there, so it is difficult to be a prefect, and When the puppet dynasty was still there, Mr. Jia did a perfect job. Didn’t my husband praise Mr. Jia for what he did there, but my memory is still fresh in my mind."
Seeing Xue Baochai defending Jia Yucun, Feng Ziying was also happy, "My sister still remembers what happened a few years ago so clearly? Jia Yucun is a good official, and he is good at work, but not necessarily a human being. The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rigid Dangzhi Chengchen, he often wavers at critical moments. With such a style, he will never get into the core. Baochai, Daiyu, are husbands, are you right? Why did Jia Yucun fail in the past two years? How often do you come to my door?"
Feng Ziying's words left both Baochai and Daiyu speechless.
In the past two years, Jia Yucun did keep in touch with the Feng family, but it was impossible to say that they were very close. Moreover, his work was purely based on what people said. Feng Ziying did not reject him, but when it came to reusing him, that was not the case. You can only hit the mark. It's okay to be a minister, but it's embarrassing to be a minister. As for joining the cabinet in the future, this kind of person will definitely not be able to do it. (End of chapter)
