Chapter 723: The Bad Fate of the Five-character Volume
After leaving Daiyu's place, Feng Ziying went straight to Baoyu's place.
As expected, Baoyu lost a lot of weight, but his mental condition was better, and he was supported by an aura of determination not to achieve his goals.
Even the maids in Xiren were a little worried that his health would not be able to bear it, but Feng Ziying took a look and thought it was probably a good thing.
The creation of the story of "Thirteen Stick Monks Save the King of Tang" is going smoothly. Baoyu's talent in legendary storybooks seems to have been discovered. Feng Ziying read the previous paragraph and it is obvious that it has the style of storytelling. If it is printed and published, it will be both It can satisfy the rhythm of the storyteller and whet the appetite of the reader. It is very flavorful.
Baoyu did not fail to ask what he would get if he completed this work. It was obvious that he already had an almost worshipful trust in Feng Ziying.
However, Feng Ziying did not fool him. Wang Wenyan and Cao Yu were very successful in the preparation of "Today's News". It is expected that it will be officially released in December. By then, if Baoyu's works are completed and Feng Ziying is satisfied, they can be published in On News Today.
I met Yuanyang when I went out.
This girl has a somewhat complicated look in her eyes.
“What’s wrong, you don’t recognize me anymore?” Feng Ziying stopped and joked with a smile.
"I thanked you for Qingwen." Yuanyang pursed her lips and remained reserved for a while, then whispered.
Feng Ziying looked around subconsciously and glared at Yuanyang: "I can't understand what you said."
"It's the uncle's fault that you don't understand. It's fine as long as you understand in your heart." Yuanyang looked forward with almond eyes and her cheeks were slightly red. "In any case, Qingwen still relies on the uncle to find a way out, otherwise we sisters will not be able to find a way out." Know how to help Qingwen."
"Yuanyang, do you want to harm me?" Feng Ziying sighed and took a step closer. Yuanyang was so frightened that he quickly took a step back and looked around, "Please respect yourself."
Feng Ziying couldn't laugh or cry. It seemed that she had such a reputation for **** that even Yuanyang was a little afraid that she would mess up.
"Girl, what are you thinking about?" Feng Ziying stared and put her hands on her hips, "Are you so worried that your family won't know about your mouth? Are you trying to make your wife hate me?"
Yuanyang then understood and covered his mouth with a smile, "Everyone says that Uncle Feng is so bold and fearless, how come you are afraid that your wife will annoy you?"
"Are you trying to say that you are so bold? Do you think that I have already fallen in love with Qingwen, so I am taking advantage of this opportunity to get what I want?"
Feng Ziying didn't know where Yuanyang got the news, but Qingwen seemed to have a good relationship with Yuanyang and Ping'er, otherwise she wouldn't have been kicked out. After Yuanyang and the others went to visit Qingwen, this matter Er Qingwen also mentioned it several times in front of Feng Ziying, only saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed.
"My slave didn't say that. I said it all myself." Yuanyang shook his head, but his tone became solemn, "If I fall in love with Qingwen, it's her fate. If I didn't arrange a way out for her, what would happen if I didn't arrange a way out for her?" With Qingwen's temperament, she might have died of illness on the kang in that shabby house. If she can stay with me for the rest of her life, it will be her blessing."
Suddenly, something Qingwen once said came out, Yuanyang's face turned red instantly, and Feng Ziying was also dumbfounded, wondering how this girl could suddenly become so charming.
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just a simple effort. But Yuanyang, these words are only in the ears of you and me. Don't let outsiders know anymore, otherwise I will not be welcome when I come to your house again." Feng Ziying laughed. He teased this pretty girl, "It's okay if others can't see her. It would be a pity if you can't see her."
These words were so explicit that Yuanyang couldn't help but stomp her feet in anger, her pink cheeks flew away, her almond-shaped eyes made waves, and the silk surface of her embroidered shoes was almost broken, "If you continue to talk nonsense like this, I will never pay attention to you again." Besides, what is your status as a slave and should I care about you? Are you afraid that Miss Lin will hate your slave in the future?"
Feng Ziying was about to laugh and tease a few words, but she saw someone coming over there, so she quickly stopped talking, "Yuanyang, you have to keep the secret for me. If other people in this house know about it, then I will only take it from you." Yuanyang asked."
"Young master is using these words to scare this slave. I am not the only one in this house who knows about this." Yuanyang said in a low voice while saying goodbye, "Besides, with my current status, it seems that I can't You don’t care about these things.”
Feng Ziying glared at Yuanyang who left with a slight smile, but she didn't know who else in the house knew about what she said.
We walked around for a while before arriving at Lixiangyuan, and happened to see Xue Pan coming in.
Seeing Feng Ziying arrive, Xue Pan was also overjoyed and held Feng Ziying's arm through the door.
"Why is Wenlong so happy today?" Feng Ziying asked curiously when she saw that Xue Pan was in a good mood. I'm afraid it wasn't just as simple as seeing herself.
"Haha, Ziying, my mother told me about a marriage a few days ago. I also went to inquire about it. We happened to meet each other today. I was very satisfied. I was planning to come back and report to my mother that the marriage was settled. Come down." Xue Pan was a reckless man and didn't care about the taboos, so he said whatever he wanted to Feng Ziying.
"Oh? Congratulations then. Which family in Beijing is it? Auntie said it was with Wenlong. Is it the Wang family or a family friend of the Xue family?" Feng Ziying was greatly surprised.
When he came to Lixiangyuan before, he was still thinking about how the Xue family would have to come up with a plan on how to deal with the matter of having a second wife and a noble family one day. Apart from Aunt Xue, Xue Pan had never been married. , there are still some obstacles, I didn’t expect to hear such good news just now.
"Well, we can be regarded as family friends with our Xue family. It turns out that in Jinling we were all royal merchants. But then we were always in the south, but their family came to the north and kept dealing with the Ministry of Household Affairs. At the earliest, they were working in Jinling. As a gardener, there are dozens of hectares of osmanthus trees outside Jinling City, and they are known as the Osmanthus Xia family. Now they are mainly responsible for garden production and supplying flowers and trees to the palace."
When Feng Ziying heard that she was born as a gardener, Feng Ziying's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this bad fate was the same as in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions"?
After hearing the name Osmanthus Xiajia, Feng Ziying was speechless.
It seems that enemies really don't get together. Xue Pan and Xia Jingui are going to get together after all, but Xiangling has already been given to her by Xue Pan and becomes her maid, and she doesn't know about this bad fate. How will the story continue?
"Oh? The Osmanthus Xia family?" Feng Ziying subconsciously wanted to stop the marriage, "Wenlong said that you and the daughter of the Osmanthus Xia family have already decided on a marriage?"
"Well, it was decided the day before yesterday. I asked someone to inquire about it again. I happened to meet him today. It was just as the matchmaker said. I am very satisfied." Xue Pan said happily.
When Feng Ziying saw this situation, she knew that it was difficult to stop it. The engagement between the two families was such a big deal. It was probably because the families of both parties were very suitable for each other that it was settled so easily.
It is said that Xia Jingui’s temperament is such that even Xue Pan can only obey him, which shows how powerful his Hedong lion’s roar is.
Shaked her head, Feng Ziying stopped thinking about it. What was the point of stopping such things? And for what reason? Maybe you'll get into trouble.
As for the bad relationship between Xue Pan and Xia Jingui in the future, the marriage between Baochai and himself may bring about many changes. Who can be sure that this is a bad relationship?
When he saw Baochai, Baochai immediately noticed that Feng Ziying was not calm.
"It's nothing, I just think Wenlong is also engaged, and your mother also said before that she hopes to get married in the spring of next year. Well, I feel like it is also putting pressure on me. I also need to speed up the progress, otherwise it will be a bit I'm sorry, sister." Feng Ziying changed the topic casually.
"No, no, do you feel that my brother's marriage is not satisfactory?" Xue Baochai's keen intuition made Feng Ziying find that several women close to her had very strong intuitions. This was true for Shen Yixiu and Daiyu, and so was Baochai. .
"I can't say, I just think that since your Xue family is also an imperial merchant, why do you want to marry another imperial merchant? Wouldn't it be better to find another official family?" Feng Ziying shook her head.
"It's not as easy as you said? My mother was worried about her brother's marriage. She also asked her aunt and uncle to find many families, but none of them had a good result. It's not like you don't know my brother's temperament. You can find out after a little inquiry. Fortunately, my brother has been staying in Daguan Tower all day long in the past year and his temperament has changed a lot. The Xia family now has no one who can support their appearance, so they agreed to the marriage. The two families We all know the basics, so we decided on it, and it is said that the Xia family’s daughter has an outstanding appearance and a somewhat masculine temperament, so I think it suits my brother’s temperament.”
Baochai snuggled next to Feng Ziying and whispered.
She is now extremely looking forward to her lover coming to Lixiangyuan. Even if she just cuddles and sits like this for a while, talking, her heart will be sweet for a few days.
And if her lover doesn’t come once for ten days and a half, she will feel that her mood will become worse, and even her appetite will deteriorate.
Seeing Baochai's warm and jade-like face smeared with delicate red, and the fragrance lingering in her nose, although there are only two brocade stools sitting next to each other, there is no other transcendence, but Feng Ziying is enjoying this rare thing in her heart. of tenderness.
It’s time to find a way to solve the problem of his second wife as soon as possible. The more Baochai doesn’t say anything, the more pressure Feng Ziying feels inside. However, there is still a lack of an opportunity to promote it. According to his prediction, it is difficult to have any chance in the near future. I am afraid it will have to wait until Let's see if I can get an opportunity when I go to another place next year after my term of political observation is over.
