Chapter 685 Wu Zijuan Beijing Wang Shuirong
“Is it Ziying?”
The clear and gentle voice pulled Feng Ziying back from the bustling scene of the prosperous city.
The area around Huguo Temple is so lively.
Xiaohecaoer, together with Yixian Hutong, Shenzhizi Hutong, Kuanjieer, Taichangsi Street, and one, two, and three alleys, forms a bustling neighborhood.
This is the most prestigious place for selling silks, furs, jewelry and spices. Feng Ziying can even see Fengrunxiang’s name rippling in the breeze, but compared with several other more famous jewelry stores, Fengrunxiang can still only be regarded as Junior.
However, this is enough to show that Fengrunxiang has established a firm foothold in the capital city. Being able to set up a signboard and open a shop in this area is enough to explain a lot.
Feng Ziying was riding a horse, and Ruixiang was holding the horse for him in front. There were too many people, and he had to prevent the horse from being frightened.
Dad brought back many strong horses from the west, and left Yulin to serve as governor of Jiliao. Even the Mongolians, no matter how isolated they were on the grassland, knew that Feng Tang was getting promoted, so they naturally wanted to give him gifts. Of course, being promoted does not necessarily mean pleasing to the eye. thing.
It's hard to bring twenty or thirty fine horses back to the house. They really can't let them go, so they can only store them in a village in the suburbs. Moreover, such good horses, which are accustomed to the grasslands, are really not suitable for living here in the city. Walking slowly and in small steps, it is not as docile and honest as an ordinary gelding.
Going to Jia's Mansion, one could either walk or ride a horse, but Feng Ziying still chose to ride a horse.
He wanted to feel what it was like to be a capital in the prosperous times.
One person and one horse are strolling peacefully and leisurely on the street, surrounded by bustling carriages and pedestrians. The early summer has brought a bit of heat, and the aroma of various spices filling the nose makes people feel a little intoxicated. a feeling of.
Entering summer, the business of this silk and satin shop will be much busier than that of the leather goods shop. However, leather goods from Liaodong and beyond the Great Wall are still in demand. The prices of high-quality goods will not be reduced, and merchants are not eager to sell them. Wait until September and October. , the price will naturally rise back up.
But this is the proudest time in the silk and satin shop. Silks and brocades of various colors from Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou, Jinling and Sichuan are on the market. The bright colors and colorful patterns make everyone passing by the door fascinated. I can't help but want to stop and admire it.
Feng Ziying is naturally not interested in these things. He is interested in the facial features and expression changes of everyone around him, as well as the various life atmospheres brought about by conversations and even quarrels with them.
Well, it was this smell. He really wanted to engrave it all in his mind and keep it forever.
This is a memory of an era worth remembering.
Each era has different characteristics. Maybe ten years later, this place will still be prosperous, but it will already have a different flavor.
Some familiar voices behind her brought Feng Ziying back from her trance. Feng Ziying turned around and saw an eight-person sedan stopped. People around him had already moved out of the way. It had a purple and gold carved beam crown, a face like a crown jade, a jade-colored silk robe, and the same color. With the jade belt, the nobility that hits his face makes people immediately understand that the other party's identity is extraordinary.
“Ah, Your Majesty?!” Feng Ziying quickly dismounted and bowed, “Ziying has met Your Majesty.”
"Haha, Ziying, why should we be so polite between you and my brothers?" He quickly stepped forward to help him up. Shui Rong didn't dare to accept this gift. It wasn't that he couldn't bear it, but it was inappropriate. This person was from the capital city. Celebrities, no matter from any angle, must be treated with courtesy.
Seeing Shui Rong speak so affectionately, Feng Ziying was also a little surprised.
Although he had interacted with the Prince of Beijing several times, to be honest, he didn't have a deep friendship. It was mostly because he became familiar with the Daguanlou theater and Liu Xianglian and Jia Baoyu were mixed in.
The other person is so warm and close now, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
“Etiquette cannot be discarded, Your Majesty.” Feng Ziying smiled lightly. Since the other party had such an attitude, of course he would not be too persistent.
The other party casually came over and held his hand, and he could only accept it. This kind of treatment should have been given to Jia Baoyu in the past. He knew that he didn't like this kind of style, but he still did it, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. .
It’s just that the other party is considered to be the top nobleman in the capital city, and the Feng family also belongs to this circle, so it’s better not to give him face.
“Where are you going, Your Majesty?” Feng Ziying wanted to break the embarrassment and asked proactively.
“I’m going to Rongguo Duke’s Mansion, where is Ziying? Could it be that we’re going there too? I heard that Ziying was engaged to the Lin family, Lin Ruhai passed away, and the Lin family’s daughter is now living in her uncle’s house,…”
Shui Rong has a handsome face and a smile that makes her feel otherworldly. No wonder she is so close to Jia Baoyu, Liu Xianglian and Jiang Qiguan.
In Feng Ziying's opinion, Liu Xianglian's handsome beauty, Jia Baoyu's romantic beauty, Jiang Qiguan's feminine beauty, coupled with the gentle beauty of water, and Qin Zhong's delicate beauty, it is true that birds of a feather flock together.
In comparison, although I am not bad at all, I seem a bit arrogant and difficult to get close to.
"Well, Your Majesty, Sister Lin can only live in Rongguo Mansion for the time being. I also want to thank Uncle She Shi and Uncle Zheng Shi." Feng Ziying nodded.
"Well, the two of them and Miss Lin are also uncles and nephews, so it's natural for them to live in the Rongguo Mansion." Shui Rong said with a smile: "But if Ziying marries Miss Lin, then she will really be related to the Jia family. The good family brings the friendship of in-laws."
Feng Ziying was slightly shocked. What did Shui Rong mean by saying this?
It is true that when he went to Daiyu, he did have a relationship with the Jia family, but it was impossible to say how close the relationship was. After all, Daiyu's surname was Lin, and he always felt that there was something different in Shui Rong's words.
"Yeah, that's right. The Feng family and the Jia family are already close, so it's a good thing to be closer to each other." Feng Ziying responded calmly. He would not refute anything, and there was no point in refuting.
They were not far from Jia's house, so the two simply walked side by side. The servants had already brought the sedan and horses to one side, and two servants followed behind.
"Well, Ziying, when will your father go to Liaodong to take office? I'm afraid it will be soon?"
Water solution seems a bit careless.
"I will leave Beijing within ten days. There are still some trivial matters that need to be settled at the Ministry of War. Maybe I will leave in less than ten days. I'm afraid the weather will be bad if I wait any longer." Feng Ziying also seemed very casual.
"Two days ago, the king talked to Niu Gong, Wang Gong and others, and wanted to congratulate your father on your promotion to the governor of Jiliao. By the way, he also sent a farewell message to your father. When I saw you today, I also asked Ziying to leave a message for your father when he returns. I will send a message another day. Come to your house."
Shui Rong’s words caught Feng Ziying off guard, Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng?
Although I am not sure what the purpose of the water solution is, it seems that this kind of farewell ceremony is also a common practice in Beijing. If you want to say there is something wrong here, you can't say it, but what kind of situation will such a bunch of martial arts gathering together give to the outside world? a feeling of?
Perhaps even the Cabinet and Ministry of War would not care, but thoughtful people, such as the Emperor, would not think so.
It's just not appropriate to say no. They have greeted you in advance and may even adjust it to see if your time is suitable. You can't leave the city for Liaodong tomorrow without saying anything or getting angry. That will leave even more traces.
"Haha, Your Majesty is too kind, so I'll thank you on my father's behalf first." Feng Ziying's thoughts just turned around in her chest, and Feng Ziying agreed with a smile on her face, looking extremely happy.
Shui Rong was also quietly observing Feng Ziying, and he felt a little relieved when he saw that Feng Ziying seemed to be really happy from the bottom of her heart.
The sudden rise of the Feng family in the past few years is even more dazzling than that of Chen Jixian. I used to think that Feng Tang was just the commander-in-chief of Yulin. I never thought of going around, thinking that he would be the governor of the three sides, but I didn't expect that he would be Suddenly he became the governor of Jiliao, which caught everyone off guard.
From this time on, everyone really started to pay attention to the Feng family. Fortunately, it was not too late.
Feng Ziying's son is also a talented person, but for everyone, the value of civil servants is a matter of the future. Now, his father's position is more important and his value is greater.
"All our ancestors followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the country. Your father-in-law and your uncle also followed the emperor in the army all their lives. It is not easy for us honorable ministers. Many of them are older, but the younger generation should still move around a little bit. Ah." Shui Rong looked straight ahead, but there was a lot of emotion in his words.
Feng Ziying became more and more cautious, just nodding but not answering.
“I heard that Ziying has always been dissatisfied with the lack of incense and title after the second uncle Ling died of illness?”
Feng Ziying was surprised. This information was too leaked in the palace. It seemed that only she and the emperor had told the news. As for the Xue family, even Xue Pan knew the seriousness and would never tell them. Moreover, he did not know the details. Baochai and Aunt Xue are even more unlikely, but it's hard to say about King Zhongshun.
When Shui Rong asked about it, he had to answer: "Your Majesty Mingjian, my second uncle also died of illness while serving as the commander-in-chief of Datong. The title of Uncle Yunchuan was originally obtained by the ancestors of my Feng family, but it is no longer there for some reason. , this is hard to accept,…”
"But the emperor granted your uncle the title of Marquis of Hulun, which is already an exceptional reward. He also agreed that you and Ziying can both be married. Why is Ziying still not satisfied?" Shui Rong didn't have much emotion in his words, as if he was talking about something very important. An ordinary thing.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that my uncle died in the battle to save the emperor and King Zhongshun in the battle of Hulunsai and he should not get this marquis? You must know that my uncle also had no one to inherit his incense." Feng Ziying pretended to be indignant.
"Haha, I didn't mean this, but if the Feng family wants to get Uncle Yunchuan back, it depends on the emperor's will. But your family has just made Hulun Marquis. I'm afraid the emperor will also have to consider the attitude of other martial arts officials. In the short term, I'm afraid it won't be easy to seal it." Shui Rong said with all due respect.
What does this fellow mean? Feng Ziying was also a little confused. What did she mean by this?
A wave is about to break out at 12 o’clock tonight. Brothers, please prepare your monthly tickets! Give it a try!
