Chapter 766: Five-character frontispiece: Grand View Garden
Seeing the excitement, satisfaction and enterprising spirit on Wang Wenyan's face, Feng Ziying felt much more at ease.
After all, hundreds of years have passed, and the various aspects of political life in previous lives may not be suitable for the present. Of course, the big principles are similar, but there are still considerable differences in specific and detailed operations.
For Wang Wenyan, who is familiar with and even talented in this area, having him help him make plans and correct deficiencies will undoubtedly make people feel more at ease. At least he does not need to spend too much energy on this, and he does not have to worry. A big mistake was made due to a moment of negligence.
From another perspective, Feng Ziying is more willing to occupy Zhenghe in the principle of using Zhenghe to win by surprise, and let Wang Wenyan hide behind to win by surprise, or in other words, he uses the strategy of governing the country with Zhenghe and using surprise troops. As a guideline for his future actions, Yi Qi Yongbing is Wang Wenyan as an assistant.
If you want to go further and more steadily in the political career of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to relying on the connections you have already established, you also need to have a complete set of people who belong to you and can be used by you. Only in this way can you be more successful in the future. Spacious.
Lin Ruhai left himself a very rich legacy, which cannot be replaced by a group of classmates such as his Qingtan Academy. Wang Wenyan and his group will cooperate effectively with people like Fang Youdu, Zheng Chongjian, and Wang Yingxiong to make himself You can cope with the future with more ease.
This is also Feng Ziying’s confidence.

"Why is Baoyu so eager to invite my brother to come to the house today?" When Feng Ziying stepped into Jia's house, she met Baoyu who was waiting for her. She looked at Baoyu up and down. She was much leaner than before, and her original round face actually became a bit slimmer. It became more angular, a little less gentle and a little more calm, which made Feng Ziying look at her with suspicion.
"The younger brother asked Brother Feng to come over to the house because he wanted to invite Brother Feng to visit the garden. The day before yesterday, the master said that he wanted me to accompany him. I guess he wanted me to write some plaques and couplets on the pavilions and pavilions in the garden. I didn't know for sure, so I want to invite my brother to come and walk through it together first, and also give me some advice for my little brother, so that he won’t have difficulty passing the test later.”
Ever since Baoyu became obsessed with writing legendary scripts for "Today's News", his status in the Jia family has become a bit strange.
On the one hand, being able to calm down and study and write does not seem to be a bad thing. At least the closeness and frequency of contacts with Qin Zhong, Jiang Qiguan and others have been significantly reduced, which made Jia Zheng and his wife breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, you It is impossible to completely sever ties with these people.
But on the other hand, since you can concentrate on reading and writing books, why can't you take the scientific examination well?
However, Baoyu gave a very frank answer. He had no interest in classics and meanings, and had no sense of current affairs. Only poems and legendary novels could arouse his interest.
Fortunately, Feng Ziying also pointed out another path. If you can achieve success in writing legendary stories, then the next step can be to follow Mr. Linchuan Hairuo's example and make a name for yourself through drama scripts, and win the title of scholar. reputation.
In this way, even if his achievements in the imperial examination cannot be determined, his dazzling performance in poetry and drama can still give Baoyu a place among the scholars in the capital city.
Sometimes, even if you cannot prove yourself through the imperial examination, as long as you are famous enough among the scholars, it can play a role in obtaining an official status through other means, or even finding a suitable marriage, and maintaining the cohesion and standing of a family. Great effect.
In other words, as long as you gain a reputation among the scholars, even if it is a favor or donating an official position, your reputation will be much better. It will also be of great help in finding a better marriage and even shouldering the burden of the family. The path pointed out by Feng Ziying is undoubtedly the path most suitable for Jia Baoyu's current temperament.
"Baoyu, don't you know that Brother Yu knows nothing about poetry?" Feng Ziying was quite amused.
"Brother, why do you still need to hide it in front of your younger brother?" Baoyu showed an embarrassed smile on his face, "The day before yesterday, the second sister, sister Bao, sister Lin, sister Yun, third sister, and fourth sister went to the house and brought back a song " "Bu Suanzi: Yong Mei" shocked me as a heavenly being. This poem is unique even if it is placed in the capital city. I am ashamed of myself."
"Haha, don't let the sisters deceive you." Feng Ziying smiled and shook her head, "I just remembered something occasionally. I can't take it seriously. I can't take it seriously."
"Brother, there is no need to be humble. This is a good thing. It's just that my brother is busy with big things and doesn't care much about such small things." Baoyu's words are also full of complex tastes. The small things that Feng Ziying disdains are coveted in the minds of countless people. avenue.
"Okay, Baoyu, please don't put a high hat on me, I can't afford it." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Let's go, I have long heard that this garden is built to be beautiful and dazzling, and I feel very sad in my heart. Looking forward to seeing you.”
“I’m afraid that my brother’s expectations are too high and he will be disappointed.”
Jia Baoyu has already seen the garden. The exquisiteness and magnificence of the garden are indeed breathtaking, but it is said that the cost is also very low. It is said that the total cost has exceeded 400,000 taels of silver.
Feng Ziying didn't have so many emotions. Since the Jia family did this, it certainly made sense. It was normal for some thoughts to be hard to let go of. After all, Jia Yuanchun was also a noble concubine, wasn't she? At least outside, everyone thinks that the Jia family is going to be prosperous and prosperous again.
As for the deeper things, how many people really know and understand them?
As soon as Baoyu led Feng Ziying to the gate of the garden, he heard a burst of laughter and saw Xiangyun and Tanchun coming towards them. They saw Feng Ziying and Baoyu at a glance.
“Brother Feng, second brother Bao!”
Xiangyun and Tanchun were both overjoyed, "Why did Brother Feng come here without saying a word?"
"Well, Baoyu invited Brother Yu to come over and take a look at the garden, and have a sneak peek." Feng Ziying said cheerfully: "What, where are you two sisters going?"
"Brother Feng wants to see the garden? That's great. We just walked around briefly but didn't take a closer look. It just so happens that Brother Bao is the welcome guest and will take us to see the beautiful scenery, okay?"
Xiangyun's bright smile fell into his eyes, which always made people feel a sense of sunshine shining into the depths of their hearts. It was particularly comfortable. Feng Ziying liked the other person's openness and forthrightness very much.
Baoyu was naturally happy and nodded repeatedly. He really regarded himself as the owner of the garden and took the lead. Seven or eight people including the maids and servants went to the garden.
The first is the five-room main entrance. The tiles and mud ridges are matched with white walls, which are extremely simple and elegant, with the right shades. The water-milled skirt wall, white stone platform and tiger skin stone rise with the trend, which is high-spirited and rugged, with a unique flavor.
Feng Ziying already had some impressions. This was the first impression of the Grand View Garden. It was indeed extraordinary.
As soon as you enter the door, you can see the continuous green peaks. This should be the rockery Taihu Stone bought from the south. The strange rocks are like ghosts and beasts, or like strange gluttons. They stand vertically and horizontally. They are covered with moss and covered with wisteria. Forming a beautiful landscape.
Feng Ziying couldn't help but praise her, which made Jia Baoyu and Tanchun very proud.
"Brother, how about this?" Baoyu, a child, couldn't suppress his temper.
“It really has the elegance of the mountains, which makes people forget the vulgarity. The essence of such a miniature scene is condensed into one corner. It must be designed by a famous artist and made by a master craftsman.” Feng Ziying was full of praise.
"Brother, the beautiful scenery is still behind, let's go this way." Baoyu finally got this opportunity to show off in front of Brother Feng. Naturally, he wanted to do his best, but Feng Ziying saw a hundred white stones in front of him, which were obviously used for inscriptions. , then asked: "Baoyu, Sister Yun, Third Sister, if Uncle Shi asks, how do you think the inscription should be here?"
“How is Jinzhang?”
“I’m afraid Pincui needs more, right?”
Tanchun and Xiangyun were discussing, Feng Ziying looked at Baoyu who was confident, "Does Baoyu have a good sentence?"
“Brother Feng, what do you think of the ‘winding paths leading to secluded places’?” Baoyu raised his head slightly, but couldn’t help but smile.
It suddenly dawned on Feng Ziying that this guy had deliberately lured her here and wanted to show off in front of her.
Just like after the completion of the Grand View Garden in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Zheng brought a group of Qingke and Baoyu, also intending to test Baoyu's poetic and literary talents. Now he has replaced Jia Zheng, and Tanchun and Xiangyun have also replaced him. All Jia Zheng's guests are gone.
Of course, in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Baoyu was forced to leave, but this time it was Baoyu who took the initiative to invite himself to play the role of examiner. This is undoubtedly a combination of his different identities and the song "Bu Suanzi Yong Mei" he wrote the day before yesterday. power.
"Baoyu, what a talent!" Feng Ziying naturally did not hesitate to praise him. Since Baoyu is willing to take her as the leader, and the Jia brothers are all following him, Feng Ziying will not deliberately embarrass or target anyone. At least Baoyu is better than Jia She. There are many good people in this class.
"Brother, I'm overly praised. It's just an occasional gain." When Baoyu heard Feng Ziying's praise, he quickly handed over his hands and thanked her, but the fondness on his face was beyond words. Seeing it in Xiangyun's eyes, he couldn't help but whisper: "Second Brother Bao A lot has changed in the past six months. Didn't he resent Brother Feng before? Why does he care so much about Brother Feng's praise now? Look at the wrinkles on his face, he is almost laughing. "
This sentence made Tanchun even laugh a little, but seeing how this second brother Bao was completely different from usual, it was obvious that the status of Brother Feng in his mind had undergone earth-shaking changes.
