Chapter 63: Life in the Feng Mansion in Volume A
Feng Ziying is very puzzled by her father's views. Why does she still have such a self-contained mentality of being confined to a small circle?
He really has no interest in Lin Daiyu. This girl seems to be just a school-age child now, and she can't see the slightest bit of enchanting and charming like a beautiful flower shining on the water and a weak willow Fufeng. With his current mentality, he really has no interest in her.
But he was very opposed to his father's self-enclosed mentality, and couldn't help but interject: "Father, I'm afraid that's not the case. Brother Zhu who went to the Jia family seems to have found the daughter of Jinling Imperial Academy Li Jijiu, right? What's wrong with the Jia family? Can it be opened like this?"
Feng Tang thought wrongly and frowned: "Ziying, are you really attracted to Miss Lin? I'm afraid the Lin family may not be willing to agree to this marriage. Don't see the Jia family's daughter marrying him. That was different. At that time, Lin Ruhai was just a civil servant, and his ancestors were just declining princes. Now that he is an official and a salt inspector, he is unusual. Either he is married to a colleague in the court, or he is looking for someone. A promising literati seeks a son-in-law..."
"Father, you think too far, and Mr. Lin may not be as narrow-minded as you think." Feng Ziying was too lazy to explain it further, "There is no need to mention this matter again. My current focus is on studying, and there are still two years left. , I plan to find a good teacher and study hard."
After staying in his father's study for half an hour, Feng Ziying came out.
He could feel that his father did not agree with some of his opinions, but this was already a good change. At least he began to face up to and value his own opinions.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. In his previous life, he still knew a little about these families and characters in the Red Mansion. The Feng family seemed to be on the same side as the four major families, but the results were not good, especially the "Iron Wall Mountain Siege" incident became a A focus of controversy in red science, it has derived many versions.
But today he has seen that his father still insists on the martial arts nobles as a group. Even though there are deep dissatisfaction within this group and the Feng family feels a bit marginalized, his father still does not break out of this stereotype. will.
This may be because a habit has been formed and it is difficult to get rid of dependence on this group.
Dad's hesitant expression at the end made Feng Ziying realize that there might be some hidden secrets here. Dad was not a mindless rough guy. Judging from his own feelings, he actually realized something, but She doesn't know why she is unwilling to make changes, or she still has hope for something. This is what Feng Ziying is most confused about.
But now he doesn't have much thoughts to think about it. Whether it's the four major families or the martial arts group, they won't collapse all at once in a short time. It's up to him to be busy with his own future.
The impression of Feng Mansion in my memory was a little blurry when I was on the boat, but as soon as I returned to the mansion, many of my impressions suddenly became clear.
The Feng Mansion is not large in scale, but its layout still follows the style of many noble families. After all, they are all traditional martial arts families.
Stone lion gate also has corner gates on both sides. Normally, you enter and exit through the corner gate.
To the right after entering through the east corner gate is the stable and carriage yard, which are separated by a white wall along the ridge and green tile eaves. A row of green sandalwood trees more than one foot high is planted outside, and an arched gate allows entry and exit. The car yard is where you usually go to set up your car.
After entering through the west corner door, there is a side room, which is a temporary resting place for the servants who are on duty at night. Behind it is a double wooden door, which is the study courtyard of Feng's father. The area behind it is the Feng's ancestral hall. .
Feng Ziying was deeply impressed by this. When she made a big mistake when she was a child, her father would take her to the ancestral hall and give her a good education, which would inevitably lead to physical and mental disasters.
This inner hall was where Feng's father and Feng's mother had previously summoned Feng Ziying. This was where the main figures of the Feng family discussed important matters. Ordinary servants were generally not allowed to enter the inner hall casually. Only Feng's father and Feng's mother followed him. Only the personal maids, those around Feng Ziying, and those specifically responsible for cleaning can enter. Others can only go around through the small doors on both sides of the inner hall.
Further back is the third courtyard. There is a passage next to the Neiyi Gate, which leads directly to the side courtyard on the right. Feng's mother and three aunts live in this side courtyard. Except for Feng's mother who has a larger courtyard, The three aunts also have their own courtyards. Among them, Aunt Duan, who loves Feng Ziying the most and is Feng's mother's cousin, has her own courtyard close to Feng's mother's courtyard.
Feng Ziying's residence is also a small courtyard, in front of the courtyard of her mother and aunts, separated from the servants' courtyard by a narrow road.
"You just let the young master go crazy? What did I tell you when we left? Did you put cotton in your ears?"
A clear voice was scolding someone in the small courtyard, "It's in vain that the young master has always been so kind to you. Why don't you do this? Even a little beggar knows how to repay a favor by sacrificing his life? What about you?"
"Sister Yunshang, even Uncle You was convinced by the young master. I, I really..." Ruixiang's voice sounded embarrassed, even a little crying.
"You, what are you, you are just as timid as a mouse, afraid of death! The young master can go, but you don't dare to go? Don't you usually dare to go up the trees to pick out birds and go down to the river to fish for fish? Why are you shrinking your head at this time? Already?"
That sweet voice jumped in the air, making the whole courtyard feel a little cooler and refreshing for no reason.
"I specifically asked you to guard the young master so that nothing happens. It's a good thing. You went out and made such a big noise. Uncle You was punished by the master and went to guard the village outside the city. I don't think you want to stay in the house. Now, send them out as soon as possible and go beg for food in the city gate!"
"Sister Yunshang, it's not that I won't go. It won't work if I go. Uncle You said that one more person means more danger of exposure. That little beggar is a local. He knows the place well. The young master can go out without him. No way." Ruixiang was really anxious and almost cried, "It's not that I didn't want to accompany the young master, but it's simply not possible."
Feng Ziying is also a little funny. This Ruixiang is actually a month younger than Yun Shang. He usually yells and shouts in front of outsiders and looks like a dog, but in front of Yun Shang, it is almost like a mouse meets a cat.
Yun Shang is also a month younger than him, but he is not lenient at all when teaching others. The Feng family is famous for being aggressive and sophisticated.
"Hmph, I think you don't have the guts to go. I'm afraid you've already been trembling with fear, right?" The girl's tone was full of contempt, "You have a sharp mouth, a thick skin, and a hollow belly. You usually make more noise than anyone else. You really want to go into battle. But I can't help at all. Fortunately, nothing happened to the young master this time. If something goes wrong, do you still have the nerve to come back?"
"Sister Yun Shang, I know I was wrong. I will come together with the young master no matter what next time, even if it means going up a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, the frown on my brow is the result of the little turtle!" Seeing that the girl's tone was slightly relaxed, Ruixiang hurriedly handed over the hand Words: "I have taken Sister Yunshang's words to heart and will never forget them again. Even if the young master beats me to death, I have to be with him."
"I'll spare you this time. What about the next time? There is no next time at all. You remember clearly." The girl became a little worried again. "I heard from my wife that the young master was called to the study again by the master. It has been so long. You haven't come out yet, could it be that the master is still blaming the young master?"
"Sister Yun Shang, isn't it? Didn't the young master come back safely?" Ruixiang was also a little uneasy. Feng You had been punished, and he, the little servant, might not be able to escape. Sister Yun Shang couldn't even scold her. It's easy, but if the master and his wife want to punish him, it will be uncomfortable.
"You think it's okay if you come back safely? The young master acted so recklessly this time. Fortunately, nothing happens next time. What about the next time? You can't be lucky every time. I think it's a good thing for the master to teach the young master a lesson..." The girl His voice suddenly rose a few degrees, "Who told him to be just as disobedient and careless as you..."
