Chapter 856 The influence of Jizijuan is unknown
When the carriage dropped the two of them off at Muniyuan and sped away quickly, Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu couldn't help but hug each other tightly.
The sky was already getting a little dark. Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu didn't know how long they had been staying in the house, but looking at the sky they knew it was almost Xu time.
"Xiuyan, what should we do now?" Miaoyu no longer dared to be stubborn and pretentious after experiencing this. She wished she could leave the Monument immediately, and hurriedly held Xing Xiuyan's hand.
Just as Xiuyan said, since these people can enter and leave the Monument at will, it means that these people must have a great background. Although they have let themselves go at this moment, what if they suddenly regret it and want to come back? Will we have such good luck next time?
"Sister, why don't you pack up quickly and go back to your house with me." Although she believed that the other party would not come again, Xing Xiuyan was still a little scared.
This time, she didn't know why the other party showed mercy, but she could guess that it probably had a lot to do with the fact that Sister Miaoyu was going to marry into the Feng family as she mentioned. He had no interest in stopping and listening to what he had to say, let alone what he said later.
As for the reason why the other party let the two of them go directly after hearing the name of Brother Feng, and hoped that the two of them would not mention this matter again, who is the other party? There was a lot of power in the capital city, but it was so restrained that Xing Xiuyan couldn't see through it.
Could it be said that Brother Feng's influence has reached this level?
This is the capital city. There are so many dignitaries, princes and ministers. Even if Brother Feng is promoted now, he is only a fifth-grade official. He must be very prestigious outside, but in this capital city, I am afraid it may not be enough. , which made Xing Xiuyan feel a little incredible.
"Okay, I'll go back and tidy up briefly. There's nothing in the house anyway, just some changes of clothes and small items." Miaoyu gritted her teeth, "But there's no carriage here, and it's getting dark. How can we go back?"
This is a difficult thing.
It is not close from Muni Yuan to Rongning Street. Normally, Xiuyan would walk there by herself in order not to trouble the government. No matter what, it would take half an hour. If she had to accompany Miaoyu to pack things now, It would take at least two sticks of incense to get out again, and it would be dark by then. Where could I rent a carriage?
There are also carriages, donkey carriages, and even horses, mules, donkeys and other carriages and horse shops that can be rented in the capital city. However, such carriages and horse shops are not just available everywhere. Generally, there are only two or three in a market. , you have to find a place; secondly, you usually need to make a reservation in advance, negotiate the price, and agree on the rental time. If you are not an acquaintance and a regular customer, you have to pay a deposit. At this time, you suddenly want to find a carriage. It is already dark, and it is really awkward. easy.
Otherwise, we have to go back to Jia's Mansion to get the carriage, but it may take another hour to go back and forth. But looking at Miaoyu's appearance, she is also very frightened. She doesn't want to stay here anymore. , and Xing Xiuyan also wished to go home early.
If you are walking, let alone carrying this thing on your back, in this dark sky, not to mention Miaoyu, even Xiuyan himself does not dare to walk on such a night road, then if he really encounters such rogues, he will not be punished every day. , shouting that the ground is not working.
For the girls, after experiencing such an exciting and frightening experience, they just want to return home early and relax in a safe and stable environment.
While the two girls were hesitating, they saw a carriage slowly stop beside them, and a head with a shiny face and a thick beard stuck out, "Miss Xing, it's almost dark today, where are we going?" ah?"
Xing Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, a little kind-hearted, and suddenly remembered that Mr. Ni, who had been in the house a few times, and had often interacted with his uncle during this period, heard that he had a close relationship with Brother Feng.
“Master Ni.”
"Oh? You want to go back to the house?" Ni Er quickly jumped out of the car and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to rent a car now. By the way, my car is a bit shabby. If you two girls don't mind it, just take it. use."
"How to do it?" Xing Xiuyan said quickly: "We used the car, what should you do?"
"Hey, what's wrong with that?" Ni Er said cheerfully: "You girls are from a delicate family and have expensive flesh. How can a rough guy like me not go anywhere? If Uncle Feng didn't help me a year or two ago, I wouldn't be the same person." Walking on two legs all day long? Forget it, hurry up, if there is anything, ask Su San to help you carry it out."
As soon as the coachman heard Ni Er's words, he quickly jumped out of the car and waited for instructions.
Seeing that the two girls were about to go into the Muni Courtyard to get something, Ni Er also knew that it was not appropriate for his men to follow them, so he nodded and said, "Okay, we'll wait for the girl outside."
"By the way, Mr. Ni, this is my sister, Miss Lin's sister..." Xing Xiuyan saw Ni Er glance at Miaoyu and quickly introduced him, "Miss Lin and Mr. Ni know..."
Ni Er suddenly realized and felt excited. Is this Uncle Feng’s aunt?
Of course Lin Daiyu and Ni Er knew that she was the legitimate wife of a third-married woman. This was a rare opportunity.
He was able to get close to Feng Ziying quickly, and to a large extent he still followed the wife's route. When the You sisters were still living in Maxiang Hutong, he was particularly attentive and often went to send various expenses and gifts. The You sisters naturally wanted to mention themselves in front of Uncle Feng, and later they had more and more opportunities.
But the two sisters of the You family are concubines after all. Although they are quite popular with Uncle Feng, this girl Lin is different. She is the legitimate wife who is being married by the matchmaker. If she has a son in the future, she will also be the legitimate son and will inherit the title of General Shenwu from Master Feng.
Ni Er hurriedly greeted him. Miaoyu could also see the eagerness and intimacy of Ni Er's attitude, and could roughly guess that he had something to do with Feng Ziying.
It was not until they entered Muni Courtyard that Miaoyu asked Xing Xiuyan where Ni Er was from.
"When my sister enters the Rongguo Mansion in the future, she will know that the Feng family and the Jia family are family friends. Uncle Feng has been a favor to the second master Bao and the third master Huan of the Jia family, especially now that the third master Huan has entered the Qing Dynasty. Tan Academy, I heard that Sister-in-law Zhu is also looking for Brother Feng, hoping to send Brother Lan to Qingtan Academy in the future, so that Brother Lan can have a future. The two masters also attach great importance to Brother Feng, so the Jia family actually I have a deep connection with the Feng family,..."
Xing Xiuyan realized that his topic had strayed a little, so he brought it back, "This Mr. Ni is said to be very powerful in Xicheng and Nancheng. He turned out to be a neighbor of the Jia family. In recent years, he has become prosperous with the support of Brother Feng. Specifically, he What to do, I can’t explain in a sentence or two..."
Although Miaoyu didn't know much about current affairs, she could still feel that this Mr. Ni seemed to be an unusual person. He was powerful and had an uncontrollable fierceness. Although his attitude was particularly gentle and humble, he was facing The two of them don't smell that way to others at all.
However, Xiuyan seemed to have some scruples and was unwilling to talk more about Mr. Ni, so Miaoyu didn't ask any more questions. However, Feng Ziying supported such a person, which surprised Miaoyu. Isn't Feng Ziying a editor at the Hanlin Academy? How come she still associates with such a person who is clearly not an official or scholar?
After packing up their things, Miaoyu and Xiuyan went out, only to see Ni Er waiting outside the door without bothering him at all. When the two girls came out, he personally came to take Miaoyu's baggage into the carriage and invite the two girls. Get in the car and walk with the carriage.
This also made Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyan particularly embarrassed. They asked Ni Er to get in the car, but Ni Er firmly refused. He only said that he was used to walking and riding in the car was a last resort. It happened to be a walk today to stretch his muscles.
The two girls were sent to the corner gate of Jia Mansion. It was already dark, so Ni Er sent the two girls in again before saying goodbye and leaving.
Xing Xiuyan naturally understood that Ni Er must be so attentive and enthusiastic because of Feng Ziying's face, but no matter what, Xing Xiuyan had to appreciate it. When he saw Feng Ziying, he would naturally want to express his gratitude through Feng Ziying. Maybe This is what Mr. Ni wants.
Chaocui'an has been sorted out a long time ago, and all the furniture and items are available, including various beddings and mosquito nets.
When he learned that Miaoyu had entered the garden, although it was already late, several girls came to pay attention and each gave some gifts, which made Miaoyu very touched.
Considering that there were still some items in the room that were not ready, and Miaoyu was still a little uncomfortable with it, Xing Xiuyan pulled Miaoyu to his Lu Xueguang's place to have a night chat.
After experiencing today's turmoil, Xiuyan and Miaoyu's relationship has deepened, and they don't have too many scruples about what they say.
“Does the sister want to tell him about this?” Miaoyu didn’t say who he was, but Xiuyan naturally understood.
"I'm not sure. That person reminded us not to talk about it. Although I don't understand what they meant, the matter has already happened. What if a similar situation happens again in the future?" Xing Xiuyan certainly knew such a thing. If the news spread, it would definitely damage her and Miaoyu's reputation, but she trusted Feng Ziying, "If I don't tell Brother Feng, I will never feel at ease. I also believe that Brother Feng will have a proper way to deal with it."
Miaoyu took a deep look at her best friend. Although the other party never admitted it, she was sure that Xiuyan's feelings for Feng Ziying were not ordinary distant relatives. How could ordinary people have that kind of unconditional trust?
