Chapter 487 T-Zi Juan is confused
Seeing Yuanyang's expression, Feng Ziying could roughly guess a thing or two.
Before Yuanyang and Jia Qi could speak, Feng Ziying said again: "Fourth Master Qi, my father, Uncle Shi Shi and Uncle Zheng Shi are all family friends, and I are familiar with Brother Lian and Baoyu, so we are all familiar with each other." The old lady is also walking around a lot, so this Yuanyang girl is familiar with her."
So this is the case, Jia Qi is still happy in his heart. No matter what, if Feng Xiuzhan comes to Jia's house today, it will spread throughout Jinling City tomorrow. Maybe he will go to other houses, but first It’s our Jia family who is here.
“Haha, it’s great that Mr. Feng is so familiar with our Jia family. I also said why Yuanyang was so happy when the previous post was sent. It turns out there is such a connection.”
Jia Qi is also a sensible person. Yuanyang's parents are guarding the house here. He also knows that Yuanyang works as a maid beside the old lady, but he doesn't know that Yuanyang's cards are so big, and even Mr. Feng thinks so highly of her.
No matter how much I thought about it, I felt that it shouldn't be just because of the old lady. The closeness between the two made Jia Qidu feel a little surprised, but he didn't know the story here.
Jia Qi’s words made Yuanyang’s face become hot again. When had he been happy?
But I just felt that it was a bit unexpected to meet an acquaintance when I returned to Jinling. Well, of course I was a little happy, but how could it be as explicit as Fourth Master Qi said?
Especially when he saw Jia Qi's meaningful gaze, Yuanyang was even more embarrassed. After putting down the tea, he felt blessed and said, "Uncle Feng, you and Fourth Master Qi have tea. I'll go down first."
After saying that, Yuanyang turned around and left Nana.
Seeing Feng Ziying's eyes following Yuanyang's figure, Jia Qi also felt funny.
It's not right to be like this. Mr. Feng heard that his father was still a military officer, and he was also a military officer. He had such a powerful family, so why did he treat a girl like this?
“Master Feng, please have some tea.”
Awakened by Jia Qi's words, Feng Ziying quickly picked up the tea cup with some embarrassment, took a sip and praised: "Good tea."
"It's this year's tongue." Jia Qi was quite proud, "It was sent from Changzhou Prefecture."
Feng Ziying also knows that tea tasting is very popular in the south of the Yangtze River.
Fujian, Zhejiang, southern Zhili, and even Jiangxi all produce good teas, which compete with each other in endlessly. Scholars especially like it. The saying "tea and wine compete for fashion" is now quite popular in Jiangnan.
I don’t really have much in common with Jia Qi.
This guy is also the one who guards the house of Rong Ning and his family in Jinling.
Even though it has been decades since the Rong Ning family moved to the capital, there are still some minor members of the Jia family in Jinling, and Jia Qi is also the taller among the short ones.
Now Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and asked him to manage some affairs here. The main purpose is to understand the situation here and to send letters to Beijing in time if there is any situation.
By the way, I also asked him to collect the profits from the shops here and Zhuangzi, and then send them to the capital.
In addition, I will also help those of the Jia clan here who can read or who can't make a living, so as not to ruin the Jia family's reputation.
Compared with one or two decades ago, the Laosi family has become bleak. Feng Ziying also asked about the situation of other companies.
Jia Qi is very familiar with these situations and will explain them one by one.
There are not many members of the Wang family in Jinling.
The eldest son of the Wang family, the father of Wang Xifeng and the brother of Wang Ziteng and Wang Zisheng, has died long ago.
Wizi Sheng also entered the capital as early as when Wang Ziteng was serving as the governor of the Beijing camp, and lived with Wang Ziteng.
On this side of the Wang family, only one of Wang Xifeng's older brothers, Wang Ren, is in Jinling. It is said that he is also making trouble now and is obsessed with going to Beijing to enjoy wealth with his uncle.
There are not many historians left in Jinling.
The two brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding are both in the capital. One is Baoling Marquis, the other is Zhongjing Marquis, and the other is a double marquis. Although they are not as good as the two Dukes of Rongning back then, they can still be regarded as current marquises.
It’s just that although the title of this kind of marquis is high, compared with the miscellaneous titles of Shenwu General, it only has one or two more villages, which means that you have a fief.
Just like the Marquis of Hulun, who in the future, Feng Ziying and his eldest brother can ascend to the throne, it is of little substantive significance.
Others, including some distant relatives of the historian, are still living in Jinling, and few of them are promising.
On the other hand, there are still people from the Xue family in Jinling.
Feng Ziying then remembered that Xue Jun's widow, Xue Biao, and Xue Baoqin should still be living in Jinling. However, she had never thought about how long she would stay in Jinling before going south, so she didn't think too much about it.
While chatting, Feng Ziying asked why Yuanyang came back from the capital city.
Jia Qi also mentioned that Yuanyang's parents had been guarding the house in Jinling. The month before last, his mother was seriously ill, so he sent a letter back. Yuanyang was worried, so he took leave and came back.
The number of days should be a few days later than when Feng Ziying and others went south. However, Feng Ziying and others stayed in Yangzhou for several days, but Yuanyang went back to Jinling directly, so he arrived at Jinling before Feng Ziying and others.
Hearing that Yuanyang also came back because her family was seriously ill, Feng Ziying admired this woman's filial piety. If it were anyone else, she might not be willing to leave Jia Mu's side so easily.
You must know that as Yuanyang himself said, Amber is not a simple person. In terms of shrewdness and intelligence, he is not much inferior to Yuanyang, and he is also very favored by Jia Mu.
Yuanyang has been away for at least a month or two. Who can say that Amber has no intention of "seizing power"?
After returning, the order was reversed, which is normal.
“Oh? Yuanyang’s mother is seriously ill, is she well now?” Feng Ziying asked casually.
This was normal originally, but it changed in Jia Qi's ears.
From Jia Qi's point of view, you, a dignified editor of the Imperial Academy of Zhou Dynasty, went south on official business under the emperor's orders and visited Jia's house, and you actually care about the health of a girl's mother. Isn't this a bit too strong?
It's just that although Jia Qi has no other abilities, he has the ability to observe people's words and make decisions according to the situation. Otherwise, Jia Sheng and Jia Zheng would not be able to let him take charge of the business here.
Seeing Feng Ziying's concern, Jia Qi replied with a smile: "I have been recovering for some time, and I am much better, but I am a little older, and have been ill for a long time, and my vitality has been damaged, so I have to take care of myself slowly. …”
Feng Ziying nodded thoughtfully.
When he said goodbye and left, he saw Yuanyang, an old man dressed as a servant, and several other distinguished housekeepers and servants following Jia Qi to see off the guests. Feng Ziying nodded and said, "Yuanyang, is your mother feeling better?"
Yuanyang's face was slightly red, but in front of so many people, he couldn't say much. He could only nod and reply: "Thank you, Uncle Feng, for caring about me. My mother has gotten better. She will be fine after a while."
As soon as Feng Ziying waved her hand, Ruixiang, who was standing beside the carriage, trotted over.
Feng Ziying said a few words to him, and Ruixiang hurriedly ran to the carriage, got into the carriage, found two boxes, carried them down, and handed them to Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying took a step forward without saying much: "Come on, Yuanyang, here are two old Liaodong ginseng plants and a piece of deer antler. Since your mother has been ill for a long time and needs to be raised, I will take these to your mother. As for the details, How to use it is up to the doctor to discuss."
A group of people were stunned by Feng Ziying's actions. Even Jia Qi had doubted whether Feng Ziying and Yuanyang had an affair, but they were still shocked when they saw this scene.
A maidservant, no matter how favored she is in the Jia family, cannot deserve to be like this, right?
Everyone around was in an uproar. Even Yuanyang’s father, Jin Cai, was surprised and happy. When did his girl become so famous? Can he actually deserve the favor of an official?
Yuanyang's face turned red, but his heart was filled with embarrassment and nervousness, as well as a little pride and love.
She cannot afford such things.
“Uncle Feng, how do you do this? Take it back quickly, my mother will be able to recover after a period of recuperation...”
"Yuanyang, can I take back what I took out? It was originally a gift prepared by visiting several families. It was just right. Since your mother is not in good health, these medicinal materials are just right. Find a better one. My doctor will co-prescribe a prescription that will help your mother recover as soon as possible... Take it, don't make me angry!"
Seeing Yuanyang's face flushed, her eyes blurred in her eyes, and her hands twisting the sweat towel almost out of water, Feng Ziying also knew that her mother's condition was indeed serious and needed to be taken care of, and this thing was probably the right thing to do. .
Feng Ziying's guess was correct. Yuanyang's mother was ill in bed and had her menstruation. She finally got through it, but she was very weak.
The doctor who invited me also said that I can only take care of it carefully. It is best to have some old ginseng and other great tonics, make a soup, and slowly adjust the tonic.
It's just that the price of this high-quality wild ginseng is extremely high in Jiangnan, and the most important thing is that it is difficult to find. Even if it is available, the price is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After Yuanyang returned to Jinling, he also inquired about it. Generally, wild ginseng worth ten years usually costs dozens of taels. If it is more than thirty years old, it costs more than a hundred taels of silver, and it is also very easy to be deceived.
Wild ginseng that is over fifty years old is kept by wealthy people. Even if it is available in the drug store, it is not something that one can afford to buy in his own house.
Feng Ziying also knew her state of mind at this time, so she smiled and said: "If you feel that you have been greatly favored by me, then remember that when you return to Beijing in the future, I will come to your house and bring you a cup of the old lady's good tea. ,…”
Taking a deep breath to let the undulating exquisite mountains calm down, Yuanyang stepped forward, felt deeply blessed, and said in a low voice: "I can't say thank you for your kindness. I can only wish Uncle Feng here." This trip has been smooth sailing, and after returning to Beijing, I will come back to express my thanks."
Waving her hand, Feng Ziying put the two brocade boxes in Yuanyang's hands, "It's boring to talk about this. It's rare for you to serve your mother so well. Your filial piety is rare. I think highly of it."
After saying that, Feng Ziying waved her hand, greeted Ruixiang to get in the car and left gracefully.
Hand holding the brocade box, Yuanyang looked at the carriage going away, but his eyes were already red.
