Chapter 929 Ji Zijuan Family Matters
Feng Ziying really did not expect that her series of actions in Yongping Mansion would attract such attention from the court, and even call her back directly.
In his opinion, although the opening of mines and workshops and even the opening of Hong Kong Yuguan seemed to have a great impact, in fact these were basically obtained through the military craftsmen brought back from Jizhen, plus the labor force obtained from clearing military households. Engagement has little to do with the local area, so the court should not value it so much.
Even if the court is interested, it should only attract the court's attention after the autumn grain shipments in Yongping Prefecture have greatly improved at the end of the year.
Calling him back so suddenly now would be a bit of a fuss. Maybe Qi Yongtai intended to use what he did in Yongping Mansion to fight back those voices that doubted him.
Seeing that her husband seemed to be a little lost in thought again, Shen Yixiu also thought that her husband must be a little tired after returning from the journey, so he smiled gently: "I asked Yun Shang to prepare hot water for you. Mr., take a bath and have a good sleep before we talk. .”
Feng Ziying was a little moved and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, good wife. I've been working non-stop on this trip back. I'm really tired."
After taking a shower, I took a nap. When I woke up, it was already getting dark.
It got dark very late in June, and she felt a rumbling sound in her stomach. Feng Ziying had a great appetite. She had just gotten up, and Yun Shang had already greeted her happily, "Master, are you awake?"
"I'm awake. I've had enough sleep. I'm in great spirits. I'm also hungry." Feng Ziying held Yun Shang's hand. Although they hadn't seen each other for just three months, Feng Ziying felt that Yun Shang seemed to have grown taller. Knowing this It's just telepathy, but it feels a little different.
In my mind, Yun Shang is still that little girl, but in the past few years, the little girl has grown into a big girl without realizing it. Her curvy figure slowly opened up, her duck-oval face has picturesque eyebrows, and her penetrating pupils are like Black grapes soaked in a deep pool.
She is already half a head taller than Qingwen. Even Yunshang herself is a little dissatisfied and feels that she is too tall. But in fact, Feng Ziying is estimated to be about 1.68 meters, which is definitely considered tall among women in this era. Yes.
“Grandma has arranged for the kitchen to be ready, and she said that she can eat when she wakes up.” Yun Shang’s sweet smile made Feng Ziying fascinated.
This is a girl who puts all her body and mind into herself. Although he left her by Shen Yixiu's side, Shen Yixiu also knew that Yunshang's identity was somewhat different from Qingwen, Jin Chuan'er, and Yu Chuan'er. She He is a member of the family who has been growing up in the Feng family, and can even be regarded as a son of the family.
“Okay, let’s eat. After dinner, we’ll have a good chat.” Feng Ziying was very interested.
After dinner, Feng Ziying went to her mother's house again, and Mrs. Duan also asked whether You Er You San or even Jin Chuan'er or Xiang Ling were pregnant.
Hearing Feng Ziying's negative answer, Duan was a little disappointed and regretful. She couldn't help but complain that Feng Ziying was not caring and working **** this, which made Feng Ziying laugh and cry.
This night was undoubtedly the most warm and pleasant night. I chatted with Shen Yixiu, Qingwen and Yun Shang, introduced the situation in Yongping Mansion, and briefly talked about what I did there. .
Naturally, Qingwen and Yun Shang didn't quite understand the danger here, but Shen Yixiu, whose father was an official and was now the prefect, knew very well how much Feng Ziying's cruel measures affected the interests of the local gentry. There was a look of worry on his face.
Feng Ziying noticed Shen Yixiu's worry and patted the other party's hand, "Don't worry, madam, you have your own rules for your husband. It's just that Yongping Mansion has been extremely weak for a long time and has many disadvantages. It will be difficult to reverse it without strong medicine, and you also When we know the special position of Yongping Mansion, my father is in Liaodong, and Yongping is the throat hub for all food, salary and military supplies. It can be said that this place is unstable, and my father's situation in Liaodong will be affected. There is no chance of any mistakes there. .”
"Well, I understand. Jun Yong has been fond of geography since he was a child. He even went to Shanhaiguan in person, and then talked to me about the extraordinary Yongping Mansion. It is not called the No. 1 Mansion in Jingdong for nothing. You said you want to open it Haiyuguan, then Yuguan should be on the border of Shanhaiguan. If Yuguan Port can be like Ningbo and Yangzhou in the future, it will really be of great help to my father-in-law’s protection in Liaodong."
Shen Yixiu's words made Feng Ziying couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the Shen family was really not simple. Shen Zizheng actually liked geography. He had been to Shanhaiguan and studied Yongping Mansion? Even Shen Yixiu could comment on the situation in Yongping Mansion, which really surprised him.
These days, it’s not uncommon for girls to be able to talk about poetry and poetry. Baochai, Daiyu, Tanchun, etc. are all fine, but if they can talk about geography and military affairs, then I’m afraid they are as rare as morning stars. Although Shen Yixiu can’t be said to be proficient now, at least he has. It's a good sign that I can talk to myself.
Even in this era that changed history when Feng Ziying came, she still had her original intention, but it was a bit dim due to Feng Ziying's fame, and she was also influenced by Feng Ziying's butterfly, and she turned to improve in the examination room. .
Seeing the change in Feng Ziying's eyes, Shen Yixiu also pursed his lips and smiled, "Ms. sir, are you a little surprised by what I said?"
"No, my father-in-law is the supreme leader of the family, and Wan Jun's family background is normal. I didn't expect Jun Yong to travel to Shanhaiguan. Well, this surprised me. Reading thousands of books is important, but traveling thousands of miles It’s more meaningful, you can see the local customs and customs of the world, understand the principles of the world, and you have to travel the road.”
Feng Ziying's words made Shen Yixiu very happy. It was just a compliment to herself. She didn't expect her husband to have such high expectations for her brother's performance, even more optimistic about her brother's performance than to pass the Jinshi examination. This also surprised her and was a little surprised, but No matter what, it is a good thing that a husband values his younger brother.
You must know that although your husband has gone to Yongping Mansion, his reputation in Beijing has not diminished. Although his actions in Yongping Mansion will receive a lot of criticism, he will also receive a lot of praise.
After all, local affairs cannot be accomplished by words alone. Without a little bit of courage and skill, there is no way to do it. This is exactly the trait that a capable minister must possess.
Shen Yixiu is not an ordinary woman. She is in charge of a government just like her father. From their performances, she can see how difficult it is for her husband. She must know that her husband is only eighteen years old, and her father is almost fifty. This kind of The gap in experience requires constant hard work to fill in, and now my husband is steadily walking on this path.
"My husband is overly praised. Although Jun Yong has some talents, his temper is still too out-of-the-box. My father once said that after Jun Yong became a Jinshi, if he could have the opportunity to travel around like my husband during the period of observing politics, It would be nice to practice more.”
As for his wife, Feng Ziying can also understand that it is easy to observe the affairs of various ministries in the DPRK, but the improvement of one's own abilities is limited. Unless you can really participate in the handling of certain specific affairs, otherwise the generality will only be as simple as a dragonfly's inkling of water. Waste of time.
“Jun Yong, if you are willing, you can actually participate in the editing of "Internal Reference". Well, if you have the opportunity, you can also go for a run."
Feng Ziying knew that Shen Zizheng was currently overseeing politics in the Ministry of War, because Yang Sichang, who had the closest relationship with him, served in the Ministry of War. This kind of second-generation official, in fact, if he smoothed the relationship a little, he would have to give some face no matter where he was, so naturally he I chose the Ministry of War.
"That's good, I'll find time to talk to Jun Yong." Shen Yixiu was very happy, "I believe Jun Yong will cherish such an opportunity."
Of course she knew that "Internal Reference" was sponsored by her husband, and the court also knew that the editorial position of "Internal Reference" was actually monopolized by Qingtan Academy, whether it was Baima Academy in Jiangnan, Chongwen Academy, or here Students from Chongzheng Academy and Tonghui Academy found it difficult to intervene.
It is not that the students of these academies have not thought about editing a publication similar to "Internal Reference" again. However, after the development of "Internal Reference" in the past two or three years, its status and influence have been deeply rooted in the court, and it is necessary to launch a new publication. Everything from funding to personnel to the replacement of editors every three years is very specific.
For these young scholars with little experience, it was an insurmountable barrier, so even Yang Sichang and Hou Xun thought about it after threatening it several times, and finally gave up.
If Shen Zizheng can enter the "Internal Reference", even if he participates in some affairs, he will be greatly exercised. At the same time, Shen Zizheng's reputation in the scholarly world and official circles will also be greatly improved.
However, Shen Zizheng is still a little arrogant. If Feng Ziying hadn't taken the initiative and asked Ma Shiying and others to extend the invitation, Shen Zizheng probably would not have accepted this kind of "charity" from his brother-in-law.
But this is not a problem for Shen Yixiu. Isn't it natural for a husband to help his younger brother? This is not an official position awarded privately, it is just an opportunity for training.
Pregnant women are sleepy. Shen Yixiu felt a little sleepy even before Haishi. With her husband by her side, Shen Yixiu fell into a deep sleep.
Feng Ziying has become accustomed to resting after the second quarter of the year in Yongping Mansion. Now this is the time when he is dealing with official documents or thinking about problems. In addition, he came back in the afternoon and slept for a while, so he was in a good state of mind and could not sleep at all.
Looking at his wife sleeping peacefully, Feng Ziying felt more and more integrated with the world. Especially after Shen Yixiu became pregnant with his child, he even doubted whether his past life memories were just a dream.
Feng Ziying gently opened the bamboo curtain and walked out of the inner room, only to see Qingwen sitting cross-legged on the kang outside, yawning and still embroidering flowers.
