In addition to their mother-in-law, Jia Yucun and Lin Daiyu also had two attendants from Jia Yucun and Lin Daiyu's maid and wet nurse, as well as several family members sent by the Duke of Rongguo to pick them up.
It was just that at that time, I thought I would just go ashore for a casual look and choose a lion cat to comfort Lin Daiyu's loneliness when she left home, so a woman and Jia Yucun took Lin Daiyu ashore.
From the bottom of his heart, Jia Yucun was actually more willing to stay for two more days. He was very interested in everything Feng Ziying showed, which meant that there might be a big shot in Feng Ziying or behind him. If he could make good friends with Feng Ziying, he would gain one or two more It is unknown whether this may help me recover in the future.
Xue Jun also had the same idea.
He is a businessman, travels all over the world, and needs to make more connections with various people.
The Xue family is now in decline. The other three of the four major families can still have a good appearance, but the Xue family can't even hold on to the surface. The eldest family has withered. As the second family member, he can't expect the other three families to be able to survive. How much help you can provide him depends on yourself.
There is such a connection, and although Feng Ziying is young, she seems to have a good reputation. Xue Jun is a little pity. If his daughter had not been engaged to the son of Mei Hanlin in Beijing since she was a child, he would have considered whether Feng Ziying could be considered. .
But his brother's daughter is also a good choice, and it is reasonable to match the Feng family, but he is afraid that his sister-in-law has poor vision and hopes to climb a high branch. Thinking of this, Xue Jun can't help but shake his head.
But no matter what, it is very beneficial to make friends with Feng Ziying.
"Well, I can ask Uncle You to say hello later. There is no need to say that our Feng family lacks etiquette. We are passing by Linqing, but we meet by chance and have such a situation. It is finally a fate."
At this time, Feng Ziying had completely replaced Feng You and became the head of the Feng family in Linqing. She looked a little interesting as a little adult, and Lin Daiyu, who was watching from the side, also felt a little more close to her.
"It's just that our Feng family has almost no one here in the old house. It would be a bit shabby to settle down, so please don't laugh at us."
Even if the words were tactful, they were quite decent. Jia Yucun and Xue Jun didn't think anything of it, but Feng You and Ruixiang were surprised and slowly accepted the changes of the little master. After all, it was more I have already experienced all the big surprises, so this is nothing.
Not long after they came out of the secret room, everyone was a little sleepy because they had been up all night. Now that the situation had settled down, Feng Ziying arranged for Uncle Fu and his family to clean up the relatively good room in Ronghua Hall. Get ready for everyone to rest.
Although this set fire to the house, for Feng Mansion, it was not a big deal to enter the courtyard. There were many rooms for rest, so it was not a problem.
"Uncle You, do you think there are too few people in our mansion here? Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu are not as deserted as they are, and it is inconvenient to take care of them." Feng Ziying thought about the population of her mansion in Beijing, although it is not that big. There are many, but they are still a family of one hundred people, not counting the people in the village outside Wanping outside the city.
"Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu are not the only ones. The farm work is about to begin, and there are also several local gardeners and women who are doing chores in the house. They have all been sent back. Originally, they had to wait for a while before returning, but they never thought of such a wait. thing."
Feng You didn't know what was going on here, but he also heard what Uncle Fu said.
"Brother Keng, it's rare for me to come back here every few years, and I still hope to return to Datong Mansion. The houses over there in Datong Mansion are still there, so the old house here..."
"Oh?" Feng Keng also realized that there were still people there, but they were all here to help according to the busy season, and they were not considered regular people. "I think this old Linqing house will be used in the future, eh?" , it is better to let Uncle Fu look for some people with a clean family background to add more people to the house, so that the coming and going will not be taken care of and inconvenient."
Feng You hesitated.
In his opinion, this old Linqing house is of little use. The old man has not been back for seven or eight years. Of course, this is also because he has been in Datong, but even if the old man is idle in Beijing, he has never returned to Linqing. The idea is that there is really no need to add more manpower here.
Besides, most of the things in this house are made by the wife, and the master doesn’t care about such things. According to Brother Keng’s idea, I’m afraid he has to run a good business, so as not to lose his reputation and lose his reputation, so this is It involves adding a lot of people.
For example, mothers-in-law, servants, women, maids, plus carpenters, gardeners, plasterers, etc., which may be ten or twenty people.
If you are looking for a clean house, it would be cheap to find someone to help you buy it for your boys and girls. Others can also find some responsible people from the local Feng family branches and leaves, but this monthly salary is not enough. It's a small amount, at least thirty or fifty taels.
This does not include daily expenses. It is estimated that it will cost one or twenty taels per month.
In addition, the mansion also needs to be expanded, and the burned houses will definitely need to be rebuilt. I am afraid that even the thousand taels of silver that Lin Lin finally saved will not be able to afford it. I am afraid that it will be really difficult to deal with my wife when I go back this time. .
It was also the first time for Feng You to follow Brother Keng on this far trip.
In the past, I always went out with the master, and the master made all the decisions on daily matters. However, this trip was with a twelve-year-old young man, and he had to worry about everything by himself.
That's all. I originally thought that this kind of thing would happen in Linqing, a land and water dock city in the north of Shandong, on the canal.
Maybe the master won't say anything about Brother Keng's dangerous trip, but Feng You knew that his wife would definitely be angry if she found out about it. Maybe the master would have to eat a meal, and he was afraid that he would also have to eat with his wife. A note was made there.
Under the circumstances at that time, I don’t know why I just scratched my head and agreed to Brother Keng’s debauchery. Even after thinking about it, I was still scared. If something happened to Brother Keng, I wouldn’t be able to do it. Know how to explain to the master and his wife.
Now he has to talk to his wife about adding people to repair the house. I'm afraid her wife will be even more unhappy, so he won't get into trouble.
Thinking of this, Feng You shook his head repeatedly and directly dismissed Feng Ziying's interest: "Brother Keng, please don't embarrass your Uncle You. I'm afraid Uncle You will be punished this time. As for adding people to repair the house, the house has My wife is the housekeeper, you can make your own decision, but I don’t think my wife will agree."
Speaking of this, Feng You's face also looked a little unsightly. He probably realized that this trip back would not be so easy, especially when he had to face his wife, who was watching Brother Keng as if he were destined to have such a big incident. Son, how can we not have an explanation? It was inevitable that he would have to eat a meal of steak and receive some scolding.
