Chapter 690: The Wu-shaped scroll sword roars in the west wind, rushes outside and settles inside first
With a plop, Jia Baoyu couldn't hold on any longer and fell down, which frightened both Xi and Jia Lian.
The attacker hurriedly cried and pinched Baoyu, calling the maids outside to come in quickly and help Baoyu get on the bed.
"Baoyu, you are a smart man. This is what I said. Brother Lian and Xiren also heard what I said. I believe that uncle and aunt can also know everything I said to you. Don't think that the big girl Once you enter the palace, you think everything is fine. You still have to rely on yourself in the end. If you figure it out, come to me. If you still can't figure it out, I'll just tell you this time, so you can take care of yourself."
Feng Ziying stood up, glanced at Baoyu who was being carried to the bed with his eyes closed, and shook his head, "Let's go, second brother Lian, I think what Baoyu needs right now is not to rest, but to think hard. What's wrong with you in the house?" He is still arrogant."
As soon as he stepped out the door, Jia Lian couldn't help but said: "Ziying, what you said is too much. Has Baoyu ever experienced such stimulation before?"
"Second brother Lian, I have told you that you can go to Ping'an Prefecture when you are sixteen or seventeen years old. He is fifteen or sixteen years old and still hangs around the theater all day long, doing romantic activities with some actors. If you go outside If you are doing something, who will take care of the things in the house? If you can't study, you have to do something. If you can't do something, you have to squat at home like a Bodhisattva, right? Is it okay to hang out like this for the rest of your life? "
Feng Ziying spoke very softly, "If I hadn't married Sister Lin and had this kind of relationship with the Jia family, Sister Lin would still have to live in your house for two years. I'd have enough money to take care of this mess." Son?"
“But I’m afraid the master, wife and ancestors will hear what you said immediately. The people in Baoyu House are all human beings...” Jia Lian said hesitantly.
The original purpose is to let them hear that there are many temple demons in Jia's house, and there are many tortoises in the shallow water. Jia Baoyu is one of them. Although all the things he has done are nonsense, no one has so much energy to keep doing this. It's better to take care of it once and for all, use the tiger and wolf medicine to sting this guy and see if this guy can still be saved.
"Then how do you think Uncle Zheng Shi and Auntie will treat me? What will the old lady think of me? Kick me out and not let me come to the house? Or don't you allow me to marry Sister Lin?" Feng Ziying laughed, "Don't worry, There are still people in your house who understand. Uncle Zheng Shi will not say anything. If the wife is unhappy, I think the old lady understands, and the noble concubine in the palace also understands."
Feng Ziying also thought that if she wanted to marry Baochai and Daiyu, she would always be in constant contact with Jia Jiazhan, so she needed to seriously consider how to handle the relationship with Jia's family.
The book "Dream of Red Mansions" does not clearly mention how the Jia family committed suicide and led to the real reason for the decline of the Jia family, such as how Jia She forced stone idiots and Yuanyang to death, and how the Jia family bullied others, such as Wang Xifeng's loan sharking and intervention in judicial proceedings to help the Zhen family. Hidden property, Qin Keqing's death, the coffin was out of stock, etc., in Feng Ziying's view, these are nothing.
In this era, which wealthy and aristocratic family does not have such bad things?
Even his father always received a large number of gifts from the Mongolians outside the Great Wall when he came back from office? Her father was not a pure and honest man. Feng Ziying would not believe him if he said that he had never received free wages, received no gifts from businessmen, and had never played a minor role in border affairs.
If these matters are really put on the table, they will all be impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Could it be that the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Long Jinwei don't know about it?
The key lies in your own position and the court's attitude towards you.
In Feng Ziying's view, the main reason why the Jia family ended up in disgrace and was confiscated was probably too deeply involved in the struggle for heirs. The book "Dream of Red Mansions" is only vaguely visible, making readers see the flowers in a fog, but as myself, I have now deeply felt it. This kind of cold air.
The fight between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor continued unabated. Prince Yi Zhong was adding fuel to the flames with the intention of profiting from it. A large group of vested interests, Wu Xun and merchants, who were closely related to Emperor Yuan Xi, were still indulged in the fantasy of privileges during the reign of Emperor Yuan Xi. As a result, this wrestling game has not yet seen the light of day.
One wrong step, and it may be wiped out. There is no doubt that the Jia family was in the wrong team. In addition, the seemingly beautiful and virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun died prematurely, which led to the complete end of the Jia family.
However, given the current state of decline of the Jia Mansion, Feng Ziying felt that the Jia Mansion should not have much strength to participate in such a high-end game. At most, it would just be waving the flag and shouting that it was standing in the wrong direction. Otherwise, the Jia Mansion would not be as simple as confiscating the entire family. Copying and beheading is the right thing to do.
Judging from the current situation in Jia Mansion, Feng Ziying thinks there are several risks in the direction.
One is Jia Yuanchun’s status as a noble concubine. Logically speaking, she is now the concubine of Emperor Yonglong, but it was the concubine who arranged for her to be there. Feng Ziying is not sure what is fishy here.
The second is the Zhen family in Jiangnan.
The Zhen family of Jiangnan is the head of the four new families in Jinling. It is the Jiangnan family most favored by the Emperor. It has a close relationship with the Jia family, is related by marriage to the King of Beijing, and is even related to Prince Yi Zhong. Once there is a problem with the Zhen family, the Jia family will The possibility of getting involved is higher.
The book "A Dream of Red Mansions" also said that the Zhen family hid some things in the Jia family. Didn't Xiangyun also tell himself that there were rumors that Zhen Baoyu intended to marry her? This shows that Jinling’s fourth family seems to have some connection with the Zhen family.
The third one is the activities of Jia She and Ping'an Prefecture.
Border affairs themselves are difficult to say. Once someone wants to take this opportunity to deal with you, it will be a tipping point. But now that Jia Lian has been taken out by himself, I don’t know if Jia She still has contact with Ping’an Prefecture. No, if it's still unclear about it, I'm afraid it won't be easy to say.
As for the rest, Feng Ziying didn’t think it was a problem. At most, it was just adding insult to injury.
As soon as Feng Ziying and Jia Lian took a few steps, they saw Wang Xifeng and Ping'er guarding the intersection.
Jia Lian's face was expressionless, and Feng Ziying was also a little surprised.
Does it mean that Wang Xifeng still dares to block the road and block the door in front of him, so as to have a fight with him? Things in the past have been settled long ago. As for that thing, it is hidden in the bottom of the box. Doesn’t it mean that she still has to return it to her?
"Is the second sister-in-law waiting for the second brother Lian?" Feng Ziying smiled and kept walking, "I just took the second brother Lian and talked to Baoyu for a while, so the second sister-in-law wouldn't be like this. You can’t bear to leave Brother Lian, right?”
"Brother Keng, I want to talk to you about something." Wang Xifeng's face didn't look good, but it was still normal.
"Sister Feng, what do you have to say to Ziying? Don't bother Ziying with family matters." Jia Lian's face was as dark as water.
Feng Ziying naturally knew that Jia Lian was busy during this period, but he didn't expect him to be so sleepless and forgetful about food and drink.
Glancing at Jia Lian who was a little embarrassed, Feng Ziying thought for a while and then said: "Second sister-in-law, second brother Lian is indeed helping me. Well, regarding Haitong Silver Village, my cousin can't come back from Yangzhou for the time being. I There are not many trustworthy people here in the capital city, so only Brother Lian can help me. In addition, there are many turnovers in the household department, so I can only work hard for Brother Lian to get through this period. Time will be better,…”
Wang Xifeng knew something about it, but Jia Lian still refused to say more to her, which was what made her most dissatisfied.
Without knowing what exactly he was doing, it was difficult to figure out how much leeway Jia Lian had outside. Wang Xifeng also knew that Jia Lian was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and men could not tolerate fishy smells. Look at Feng Ziying, she could actually take care of both of You's family. The younger sister was raised by an outside family, which made Wang Xifeng even more wary.
Hearing what Feng Ziying said, Wang Xifeng felt reassured.
It seems that Jia Lian is really busy during this period. When I asked Ping'er, Ping'er also said that this guy was no longer as anxious as before when he saw Ping'er. This really made Wang Xifeng look at Jia Lian with admiration.
"Brother Keng, your second brother Lian doesn't even care about building a garden for his own family. He only cares about helping you with things. You can't treat your second brother Lian badly when the job is done." Wang Xifeng's eyes became more serious. He said with some enthusiasm, "I heard that your Haitong Bank has a huge capital, and most of the imperial family members have invested in it. I wonder if there is still a chance..."
"Second sister-in-law, the matter of buying shares has been settled for a long time. At present, the bank does not accept shares for the time being. However, if second sister-in-law has spare money and wants to deposit it in the bank, she can get a considerable amount of interest every year..." Feng Ziying seemed to A smile is not a smile.
“Brother Keng, is this not possible?” Wang Xifeng seemed to be in disbelief.
"Second sister-in-law, you can ask Second Brother Lian when you go back. Prince Zhongshun and the merchants from Shanshan and Shaanxi are all sent to supervise matters such as the shareholding. They can't do anything fake..." Feng Ziying didn't bother to say more to the other party. This woman always She is full of confidence and feels that everyone should give her some credit.
Seeing Feng Ziying's cold face and Jia Lian's dull look on the side, Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth with hatred, but could not get angry. She could only stare at the two of them hatefully, and then said for a long time: "That means I want to thank you more. …”
Feng Ziying spread her hands and looked mysteriously, "Second sister-in-law, that's not necessary. Of course, if second sister-in-law really wants to thank me, she will naturally find a way to thank me without saying it."
Being speechless by Feng Ziying's words, and then thinking about the scene in the private room of Daguan Tower, Wang Xifeng became more and more uncomfortable, and could only snort, turn around and leave.
************
After listening to Xi Ren’s introduction, both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang’s expressions changed, and for a moment they didn’t know what to say.
After a long time, Jia Mu put her hands on her forehead, leaned down on the kang, and muttered to herself, not knowing what she was talking about.
Mrs. Wang's face turned gloomy in the end, "Even if he marries Lin Yatou, Baoyu won't be able to teach him a lesson! Do you really think that the Feng family can be superior to the Jia family?"
Li Wan and Wang Xifeng both sat at the bottom and said nothing.
To be honest, Feng Ziying’s words really touched Li Wan’s heart.
This brother-in-law's behavior was something that Li Wan, who came from a scholarly family, looked down upon. It was just that his mother-in-law was too pampered. She was also a widow without a husband. She had to be careful about her words and deeds in this family. Naturally, she did not dare to say anything, but Today, Feng Ziying's harsh words really completely peeled off Jia Baoyu's skin, and she felt happy in her heart.
However, Jia Mu finally shook her head, "That's not what you said. Brother Keng's words are not wrong. They can even be considered as harsh advice. It's just that Baoyu has never received such words in all these years and it's hard to accept. What did his father say? ?”
“The master said...” Xiren was about to speak but stopped.
“Say it, there’s nothing shameful about it.”
"The master said that the people in the house were too arrogant, which made the second master become like this. He said that Uncle Feng's words were the real bitter medicine. It was time for the second master to wake up. He also said that he would take these words into the palace. Here, let the imperial concubine also listen..."
The attacker brought Jia Zheng's words intact, leaving Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang as well as Li Wan and Wang Xifeng stunned.
"Master said that?" Mrs. Wang hesitated. If her husband wanted to bring these words into the palace, it would be extraordinary. It would have raised Feng Ziying's status to an extremely high level, even surpassing that of anyone in the palace.
"How dare I lie about this kind of thing?" Xiren quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
“Get up, no one will accuse you of lying.” Mother Jia’s face was solemn.
“How is Baoyu now?” This is what everyone is most concerned about.
“Second Master just lay on the bed and didn’t talk, didn’t drink water or eat, and didn’t do much else...” Xiren’s face also looked bitter.
"Poor Baoyu,..." Mother Jia's face was full of pity, and she just beat the Kang table beside her. "He has had a strong self-esteem since he was a child. How has he ever suffered such injustice? But as for Brother Keng, hey,..."
Wang Xifeng glanced at her aunt who was sullen and silent, and boldly interjected: "Ancestor, madam, although Brother Keng's words are a bit too much and overreaching, as the ancestor said, it still makes some sense. I also asked the second master, Haitong Yinzhuang wants to open an account in the capital, and it is said to be worth more than one million yuan. Brother Keng has no one he can trust, so he asked the second master to help him. I'm afraid there won't be much in the future. The two masters are getting older and others can't afford it. If Baoyu doesn't like studying, he might as well let him learn to do something and influence the affairs of the house. You have to learn to ask questions, but..."
"Just what?" Mrs. Wang asked hurriedly.
"It's just that the person who tied the bell must untie it. If Baoyu himself doesn't understand it, it will never work. Baoyu has to figure it out in his own mind. I heard Xi Ren say it before. The words are a bit cruel, but serious illness requires strong medicine, and maybe it can make Baoyu suddenly feel enlightened. Now I think we should not ask more questions, and just wait for Baoyu to realize it slowly. If it hurts, it will hurt, and if it hurts, it will hurt. Once he figures it out and the scar heals, maybe this hurdle will be over."
Wang Xifeng's words made both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang fall into deep thought.
