Chapter 569 T-shaped volume hidden waves
"Yes, the Zhen family of Jinling." Shi Xiangyun did not realize the change in Feng Ziying's expression. He was a little excited and a little shy and said: "The Zhen family is also a famous family in Jinling. Logically speaking, you should be able to meet each other the last time you represented the imperial court to Jinling. .”
Feng Ziying has already figured out some flavors.
What else could make Shi Xiangyun feel embarrassed?
Then the Zhen family also has a precious jade called Zhen Baoyu?
It is said that he and Jia Baoyu are almost brothers in character. They are close in age and have similar personalities. He also doesn't like reading, but he loves poetry and prose, and he is quite talented in Jinling City.
Jinling certainly cannot compare with the capital city in this regard. Jia Baoyu's literary talent is not worth mentioning in the elite city, but Zhen Baoyu's talent and reputation are not small in Jinling city.
It is said that Zhen Baoyu is also a very naughty young man. Relying on the power of the Zhen family in Jinling City, he caused some troubles. However, relying on the power of the family, there was no big problem. This is even more so than Jia Baoyu. .
It is said that Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling now, also has some relationship with the Zhen family, but the specific relationship is unknown.
Wang Wenyan should have a deeper understanding of the Zhen family, but at that time Feng Ziying was mainly focused on Yangzhou and had little interest in other places in South Zhili including Jinling, not even as much as Suzhou, so he didn't ask much .
“The Zhen family knows about it and has seen it before.” Feng Ziying pretended to be nonchalant.
"Brother Feng, have you seen him?" Shi Xiangyun was overjoyed, but suddenly realized that the person he saw was definitely not the person he said, "Who have you seen?"
“Of course it’s Master Zhen Yingjiazhen, the head of the Zhen family.” Feng Ziying smiled mysteriously and looked at Shi Xiangyun, “Girl Yun, do you think I will still go see Zhen Baoyu?”
Two red clouds appeared on his cheeks. Shi Xiangyun knew that his thoughts had been seen through by the other party. Fortunately, she was also a forthright person, so she simply said calmly and generously: "Well, the little sister is talking about Zhen Baoyu. Someone asked my uncle Ask about my little sister..."
"Wow, this Zhen Baoyu is actually a toad who wants to eat swan meat. He also wants to covet a talent like Sister Yun?" Feng Ziying opened her mouth exaggeratedly and said with a smile, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Although he was not too clear about the situation of the Zhen family, he was certain that the Zhen family's prosperity should have benefited from the Emperor's several trips to the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the Zhen family had some involvement with Prince Yi Zhong.
Of course, this wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River has a lot to do with Prince Yi Zhong. Prince Yi Zhong was the prince at that time. Not only did he accompany the Supreme Emperor on three tours of the south of the Yangtze River, but he also came to the south of the Yangtze River alone several times to do business. He was also involved with many gentry and wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River. Very intimate.
This was the same even after Prince Yoshitaka was deposed and demoted to Prince Yoshitaka. Because after being deposed, Prince Yoshitaka was restored to the crown prince, which made many people see the strength of Prince Yoshitaka, so they were even more willing to place bets.
It's just that after Prince Yi Zhong was deposed for the second time, there was no chance for him to stand up again until Prince Zhongxiao ascended to the throne as Emperor Yonglong.
Even so, there are still many people who are optimistic about Prince Yi Zhong. Feng Ziying knows very well that not only many wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River are like this, but also many martial arts groups hold this attitude.
The Emperor still firmly controls the military power inside and outside the capital, and Prince Yi Zhong and even his son are still favored by the Emperor. Especially Prince Yi Zhong and his son, he still often comes in and out of the Daming Palace and is often accompanied by the Emperor.
This Prince Yi Zhong's son is excellent in poetry, lyrics and songs. In addition, he is talented and elegant. He is very similar to the elegant and romantic Emperor Yuan Xi in his youth. Many veterans have praised him like this. Feng Ziying estimates that Emperor Yonglong is also sitting on this. Restless.
The story that Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, decided to take the throne based on his grandson is widely circulated. It may not be impossible for this kind of thing to be repeated in the Zhou Dynasty.
But Feng Ziying is not optimistic about Prince Yi Zhong. As for using the emperor's grandson to determine the throne, it may be possible, but it is not very likely.
At least Emperor Yonglong didn't make any mistakes. Sitting in his position, not making mistakes is the biggest advantage. As long as he keeps making no mistakes, his throne will become more and more stable.
Even if the Supreme Emperor has always controlled military power inside and outside the capital, so what? When everyone thinks that Emperor Yonglong is the successor, even if the Supreme Emperor wants to do something, the generals who are loyal to him will have to think twice. Is the Supreme Emperor too old and confused? They also need to consider the future of their dependent children.
And not only did Emperor Yonglong make no mistakes, on the contrary, he continued to win the recognition of civil servants and military generals.
The suppression of the rebellion in Western Xinjiang largely made him recognized by military generals outside the capital, and his strategy of opening up the sea gave hope to civil servants and some military officials.
In this case, Prince Yitada wanted to rely on his son to play some tricks with the Emperor. Even if he won the favor of the Emperor, so what?
At this time, the Zhen family is about to marry into the Shi family again. Zhen Baoyu asks to marry Shi Xiangyun. What kind of magic operation is this?
The Shi family has long since declined. Shi Xiangyun's two uncles are both idlers, hanging out in the Houjun Governor's Mansion and Zuojun Governor's Mansion respectively. Although they are two princes in one family, these false titles are certainly prestigious to ordinary people. It's quite good, but for real insiders, it's not worth mentioning.
How does Feng Ziying think that the two historians do not look like hidden bosses? Could it be that there is really something fishy here that is not noticed by others?
Of course, Feng Ziying also knows that she feels a bit trapped in conspiracy theories now. Everything she looks at seems to contain secrets that she is not aware of, and she feels that there is a deep meaning in it. It may not be because she is too sensitive.
The Zhen family is the head of the new four great families in Jinling, and has a sworn relationship with the Jia family of the fourth great family. Moreover, Zhen Yingjia’s eldest daughter married Prince Shuirong of Beijing as his concubine, and now she is seeking to marry her legitimate son, who is also one of the fourth great families. It makes sense that the historian is a legitimate daughter. It can even be said that she is marrying someone low. The historian should feel honored. There is nothing wrong with her.
But Feng Ziying always felt that it was not that simple.
Even though Shi Xiangyun was bold and generous, he blushed at Feng Ziying's words, "The toad wants to eat swan meat." He stamped his feet and almost hid his face and walked away. Feng Ziying quickly smiled and said, "Uh, sister Yun, little brother. These words were spoken from the bottom of my heart, and they were spoken out of urgency, so I wonder what Sister Yun and your two uncles mean?"
Both of Shi Xiangyun's parents are dead, and his direct relatives only have two uncles. Even Jia's mother can't count them. Everything depends on the attitude of her two uncles.
Shi Xiangyun shook his head, "This matter was just mentioned, and it may not be what Brother Feng said. However, Brother Feng also knows that the younger sister has no contact with the outside world, and does not know the situation of the Zhen family, let alone I know the situation of the young master of the Zhen family, so I can only ask Brother Feng to inquire about it."
Feng Ziying wanted to break the gong, but could not find a suitable reason.
The current situation of the Zhen family is also like flowers and brocades. It can be regarded as a wealthy family in Jinling City. And although everyone knows that the Zhen family relied on the Supreme Emperor, even if Emperor Yonglong ascends the throne, it will not have much impact on the Zhen family at least for now. , even Jia Yucun treated the Zhen family with great courtesy, what do you think is wrong?
As for Zhen Baoyu himself, everyone says that he is similar to Jia Baoyu. Since Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu are so close to each other, what can Zhen Baoyu not accept?
Although the news now received from Wang Wenyan is that the Zhen family must have some connection with Prince Yizhong, there are also many people in Jiangnan who have connections with Prince Yizhong. As long as they can switch families in time, it is not a problem.
The key is, can the Zhen family still make a U-turn now? Is he willing to make a U-turn?
No one knows this.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Ziying said slowly: "Sister Yun, although I know a little about this little brother from the Zhen family, after all, I have only been here in Nanzhili for a short time, so I don't know much about it. Well, as for that Zhen Baoyu, brother, you can also ask someone to help you ask, but in my opinion, Sister Yun is still young now, so there is no rush in this year and a half, you might as well wait and take a look, and learn more about it. , make a decision again,…”
Shi Xiangyun showed a trace of sadness on his face, "Brother Feng said it lightly. My little sister is already thirteen. It is the right time to discuss marriage and engagement at this age. Since they have asked someone to ask my uncle, my uncle and the others will definitely ask for it." How can I delay giving someone a reply as much as you said? Even if you really want to inquire, it will only take two or three months. If you tell someone to wait for a year and a half, it is a disguised rejection. "
Feng Ziying was also a little embarrassed.
What Shi Xiangyun said is the norm of this era. It is inappropriate for me to wait and see at every turn when it comes to marriage. If Ren Nian comes to your door, it is intentional. You just need to wait and understand. Regarding the other party's situation, it would take ten and a half days to give a reply. How can you say that they should wait for a year and a half?
They only talked about an engagement, not about getting married immediately. Generally speaking, it is normal to get married three or four years after the engagement.
“It seems like Brother Feng doesn’t quite agree with the Zhen family’s situation, so that’s why he said this?”
Shi Xiangyun is also an extremely smart girl. He can figure out something from Feng Ziying's facial expressions and expressions, and asked tentatively.
“I wonder if Brother Feng can tell my little sister something convenient so that she can convey it to my uncle?”
Feng Ziying shook her head.
This cannot be agreed to.
Even if he knew the situation of the Zhen family, he would not be able to explain it explicitly, or even hint at it.
Once Shi Xiangyun sends the message back, the Zhen family may know something about it, and the consequences will be difficult to predict. His layout in Jiangnan will be in trouble before he even starts.
