Chapter 288: Females in Volume B (First update!)
Feng Ziying sent Zhang Jin outside the gate.
Zhang Jin personally visited the house to congratulate him, so he had to pay attention to it.
The Long Jinwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty are slightly different from the Jin Yiwei of the former Ming Dynasty. Although people still call the Long Jinwei as Jin Yiwei, the Long Jinwei cannot actually exercise the power of edicts and prisons at will like the Jin Yiwei of the former Ming Dynasty.
And the civil servants have been keeping a close eye on Long Jinwei. There are even several censors in the Ducha Yuan who are responsible for keeping an eye on Long Jinwei. Once there is any sign of trouble, they will jump out and spray wildly.
In other words, if he had not waited for the emperor's full support, Long Jinwei would still be relatively cautious when it came to civil servants with imperial examination backgrounds, especially those of fourth grade or above, and would not act easily unless there was more concrete certainty and evidence.
According to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, civil servants can be moved, but they can only do it themselves, that is, the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Others, whether it is your Criminal Department or Long Jinwei, have to take it easy. Only the Metropolitan Procuratorate can do it. After the Procuratorate starts the impeachment mode, you, whether it is the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, or Long Jinwei, can follow up.
But for ordinary nobles, military attaches, officials with miscellaneous backgrounds, and ordinary people, Long Jinwei is not so taboo, and his power can be enlarged to the limit.
Feng Ziying is not afraid of Long Jinwei.
In fact, after he passed the second-level Jinshi examination, Long Jinwei was basically unlikely to touch him at will, of course, provided that he had no major problems.
But the scope of powers and responsibilities of Long Jinwei is not limited to the supervision of officials and people. They also have power in another area, which is to spy on local and even foreign military and political affairs. This is what Feng Ziying values very much.
According to Geng Ruqi, the official of the Ministry of War, Long Jinwei played a very important role during the Imchen Japanese Rebellion, but in recent years, especially since the end of the Imchen Japanese Rebellion, which was the 36th year of Yuanxi Years later, as the Supreme Emperor's neglect of government became increasingly apparent, Long Jinwei became more relaxed and lost its former glory.
After the Supreme Emperor refused to retreat and Emperor Yonglong ascended the throne, there was some confusion in the handover of the Dragon Guards, which is still not straightened out. Therefore, the power and strength of the Dragon Guards have been greatly weakened.
The current Dragon Guard is still in a rather awkward handover and adjustment period, and this handover and adjustment period seems to be dragging on indefinitely.
It was under this situation that Zhang Jin also valued Feng Ziying, who had always had a good relationship with Long Jinwei.
It's not just as simple as Feng Ziying passing the second-class Jinshi exam. Each second-class Jinshi has more than a hundred numbers in each subject. Long Jinwei doesn't think so highly of every second-class Jinshi.
The key is that Feng Ziying has already reached heaven, and even the emperor appreciates it. Behind Feng Ziying are two great gods, the left minister of the Ministry of official affairs and the right deputy of the imperial court.
What's more important is that Feng Ziying is not as dismissive and disgusted with Long Jinwei as other scholar-officials, and is even willing to take the initiative to contact and cooperate. This makes Long Jinwei feel that he has finally found a person with whom he can interact in this group.
The last time I attended the celebration banquet, it could be said that it was Feng Ziying's invitation, but this time I didn't even wait for Zhang Jin to take the initiative. His immediate boss's immediate boss, the commanding officer Lu Song, took the initiative to suggest that Zhang Jin should take the initiative to continue this line. stand up.
That’s why Zhang Jin had this experience.
Feng Ziying is not as particular as ordinary scholars and civil servants. For him, who is useful and valuable is the most worthy of consideration.
Zhang Jin is a calm and pragmatic person, and does not have as many bad habits as other Dragon Guards, so he is very willing to make friends with this person and even cooperate with him.
And Zhang Jin did help Feng Ziying with some help. For example, Zhang Jin still helped with the situation in Ningxia Town and the whereabouts of the Japanese spies in Linqing.
So he specially sent Zhang Jin to the gate. It would have been impossible for other scholars to send a Long Jinwei Qianhu to the gate. Many self-proclaimed civil servants were even ashamed of being friends with Long Jinwei. .
After seeing off Zhang Jin, Feng Ziying was about to enter when she saw two carriages coming and stopping at the corner door. They looked like they were coming to his own house, but the two carriages looked very familiar, more like Rongguo Mansion. of.
But Jia Lian has already been here, who else can come to visit him? It won't be Jia She and Jia Zheng in person, right? Then I can't afford it.
Just when I was curious, I saw Jia Baoyu and another young man had jumped out of the car.
Before Feng Ziying could react, she saw that the young man in front of her was a head shorter than Jia Baoyu, with red lips and white teeth, and picturesque eyebrows. He looked quite heroic, and he saluted to her carelessly: "Jinling Shi Xiangyun, I have met Brother Feng."
Feng Ziying was shocked, Shi Xiangyun? Looking up and down, isn't it? This is obviously a young child, and he is actually pretending to be a man?
Looking around quickly, Feng Ziying complained softly: "Baoyu, why are you so ridiculous? Why is Shi's sister so naughty?"
“Brother Feng, don’t worry about the second brother, it’s the younger sister who wants to come. Hehe, sister Lin and third sister also changed into men’s clothes and are in the car.”
Shi Xiangyun was very proud of himself for showing off such an act. He put one hand on his hips and shook the folding fan with the other, looking a bit like a suave and handsome man.
Feng Ziying was even more surprised and looked over quickly.
As expected, the curtain in front of the car was opened to a crack. Who else could it be if it weren't for Lin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun? Needless to say, there were several maids and boys behind him.
Shi Xiangyun's boldness is actually very in line with Feng Ziying's preferences. She is not shy like ordinary women. She can greet her generously when they meet for the first time, and she doesn't have the envy of others. This kind of temperament is also very good. Let Feng Ziying like it.
Seeing this situation, Feng Ziying did not dare to stay outside any longer. If word spread, I am afraid that the reputations of these girls would be bad.
Feng Ziying waved her hand and walked in. She quickly asked the servant at the corner door to open the corner door and let two carriages in. They reached the door of her courtyard, then asked a group of people to get off the carriage and entered the courtyard directly.
Shi Xiangyun was still dashing, and he actually walked into the courtyard with Baoyu and Feng Ziying in a grand manner.
It wasn't until a group of people entered her small courtyard that Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were too many people visiting during this period, and the people at home were used to it. Sometimes cars would enter the courtyard, but it was so difficult for her to do so. It was the first time I saw it at the entrance of the small courtyard.
At the entrance of the small courtyard, Daiyu and Tanchun came down. They watched Shi Xiangyun carelessly walking with Feng Ziying and said that the two girls were a little envious of Yun girl's boldness. This was the first time she met Brother Feng, and they just disappeared like this. outside.
Feng Ziying also criticized Jia Baoyu all the way. Although Shi Xiangyun took the responsibility, everyone knew about such things. Without him, the second master Bao, in the Jia family, how could he send two cars?
"Brother Feng, Sister Lin and Third Sister are not outsiders. You have also met Sister Yun. I think Sister Yun's temperament must be similar to yours..." Jia Baoyu was not convinced, "You are the same in our house. I’ve seen them many times,…”
"Can it be the same? It was in your house, there were no outsiders, and your parents and elders were present. You went out with a bunch of sisters and dressed up as men. You didn't think about the reputation of these girls in the future. ? Do you really want to be served by Uncle Zhengshi again after you go back?"
As soon as Feng Ziying said these words, Jia Baoyu immediately became scared. He had already had a shadow of his father's board. Thinking of the big board coming down, his buttocks felt a faint pain, and he subconsciously wanted to tighten it.
It wasn't until they entered the courtyard that Feng Ziying said to the maids who were following her: "Xiren, Zijuan, Shishu, why don't you try to persuade Baoyu and his own lady? I haven't seen this girl before..." "
“My slave Cuixi met Uncle Feng, and my ancestors pointed me to the eldest girl...” The girl was quite spiritual, petite in stature, and her wonderful eyes were bright and candid.
"Oh, it seems that the Shi family sister will also live with the old lady. This is good. Sister Lin and the third sister will have another companion." Feng Ziying did not expect that Shi Xiangyun would come to Jia's house for a long time in advance. It is estimated that the Shi family really made this bold girl suffer enough, so she fled to the Jia Mansion to take refuge.
"Uncle Feng has wronged us. The slaves can only advise the masters on what they want to do. If the masters make up their minds, the slaves can only accompany them through fire and water."
Seeing the round-faced girl explain with a smile, and her words were well-founded and loyal, Feng Ziying couldn't help but take a few more glances at the big girl next to Baoyu.
"Xiren, your mouth is so clever. After all you said, I was left speechless. No wonder Baoyu likes you so much. Zijuan, Shishu, Cuixi, Yunshang, you girls all... Learn a little, this is what it’s like to be a family member..."
Just one sentence made Xi Ren blush so hard that he didn't even know where to put his hands.
Jia Baoyu still just stood there with a big grin on his face. Xiren was surprised, embarrassed and frightened. He quickly saluted again and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Feng, please don't say that. If my wife hears it, That servant girl jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't even wash her away."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Feng Ziying teased the maid who was loyal to Baoyu and said, "This is my house. Who in this house would spread rumors? If anything, I can't stay in Jia's house any longer. When I came to my house, my mother just said that she wanted to buy a group of little maids from Datong and Yangzhou. You can be their teacher and teach them how to do things. Baoyu, do you want to let go? If not, I will go to Zheng Shi. Uncle said."
