He seemed to feel the probing look in Feng Ziying's eyes. Li Wan's face blushed slightly, but he quickly summoned up the courage to ask, "Brother Keng, can you take a step to speak?"
Feng Ziying was even more surprised, what is this pretty widow going to do? This was outside Sanqing Pavilion, in public.
But I have to say that this pretty widow is really well-kept. Her clothes are of appropriate shades, fresh and pleasant, and make people forget about vulgarity.
Think about it, this Jia Lan is only five or six years old. She was probably fourteen or fifteen years old when she married Jia Zhu. She gave birth to Jia Lan when she was fifteen or sixteen. Then Jia Zhu died of illness. After all, this Li Wan is only twenty-one or twelve years old. In terms of age, he is only two or three years older than Wang Xifeng.
Now that someone had proposed it, Feng Ziying naturally couldn't refuse, and he didn't believe that this woman could do anything.
In the book "Dream of Red Mansions", it was said that she was as heartbroken as a dead tree, but looking at her now, it didn't look like she was so depressed and heartbroken.
Feng Ziying nodded, and Li Wan took a few steps outside. In fact, he was only less than ten steps away from the sisters, just a little distance away.
Although Lin Yatou and Tanchun were a little surprised that Sister-in-law Zhu would go to Brother Feng to talk about something, but considering that Brother Feng has a great reputation for his ability outside, second brother Lian and Sister-in-law Lian would also take the initiative to talk to him. It's okay, I'll be relieved.
"Brother Keng, actually I just want to ask my brother Lan about his studies. My brother Lan is six years old this year, only four years younger than his second uncle Bao. Last year, I asked him to start reading. Now if the government wants to invite a private school to open a clan school, I also intend to let Lange'er study. This is why I want to ask if it is appropriate for Langeer to continue studying in this clan school. In the future, I want Lan Geer to study in this clan school. My brother is going to take the exam to become a scholar."
Li Wan's words made Feng Ziying suddenly realize that this pretty widow was thinking about her own son. Apparently she was not optimistic about her brother-in-law's studies at this time, and was even a little worried about ethnic studies.
"Sister-in-law Zhu, maybe you should ask Uncle Zheng Shi about this matter. I think that whether it is a family school or a private school teacher, these are not the most important. The key is to run a family school and a private school teacher. Come on, you still have to follow the rules and disciplines in this study. The key lies in the individual. Of course, I also admit that this style of study is very important, so I have to make up my mind to let the school teachers strictly control this school... …”
Li Wan understood. It seemed that Brother Keng didn't have much confidence in his brother-in-law's studying. He just insisted that his father-in-law should take studying seriously. But if his brother-in-law really didn't want to study, his father-in-law could still control him. ? My mother-in-law and ancestors are still standing behind.
With a slight sigh, Li Wan casually wiped the black hair around his ears, a look of sadness flashed across his face, "I'm afraid that the school teacher won't be able to control Uncle Bao, and everyone will end up..."
Li Wan didn't say any more, but the meaning was very clear. Feng Ziying was also helpless. This was something she couldn't control. Even if Jia Lan was a scholar, he would have to be thirteen or fourteen years old to go to the academy. , even if you can come forward and help, at least you must be of your own age.
"Sister-in-law Zhu, I think Lan Ge'er is still too young now, so there is no need to be too harsh. I mean, you don't have to read a lot, but you must follow the rules, cultivate his temperament, and cultivate his temperament and habits. To form a good habit, as for studying, there is still time in the future. It is actually too late to wait until he is eight or nine years old to study. The key is to form good habits and not to pamper and indulge. This will be of great benefit to him in the rest of his life. …”
Looking at Feng Ziying's sincere face and frank words, Li Wan was also moved in his heart. What the other party said was very reasonable. He still has a long time to study, but if his temper is spoiled, it will be hopeless, just like his brother-in-law. Of course The other party didn't say this, so naturally I wouldn't point it out.
Seeing Li Wan nodding, Feng Ziying added: "Also, Lan Ge'er's body bones are still the most important. He is too young now, so he still needs to be raised carefully. He can run and walk more every day, and he can eat breakfast early in the morning. Get up and do some exercise. Go to bed early at night and don't stay up late. He is not suitable for his age now..."
What he said made Li Wan nod his head repeatedly, and a warmth flowed in his heart.
No wonder the Feng family man is so famous outside. Not only is he good at both civil and military skills, but he is also so good at dealing with people. How can he not be liked by others?
I heard that the father-in-law and mother-in-law intended to marry the third girl to the Feng family. However, both parties are too young now, so the conclusion has not been finalized. However, in Li Wan's view, although the third girl is very good, it is a pity that she lacks some background.
This is still an insurmountable limit in the minds of many people, and the Jia family is not a very famous family now. Wu Xun's origin is far less popular than it was forty or fifty years ago, and the entire Jia family is not. A decent pillar of support.
Although the Feng family also had a martial arts background, if the eldest son of the Feng family passed the examination, he would be completely different. I am afraid that this marriage would be difficult.
Thinking of this, Li Wan could only feel a little sorry for his sister-in-law deep in his heart.
If the other party fails to win the Qiu Wei next year, we can take this opportunity to let the three girls form a good match. However, if they win, I am afraid that the Feng family will not agree. We cannot let the young lady from the Rongguo Mansion be used as a trap for others. Concubine?
It seemed a little unkind to just hope that someone would fail in the scientific examination, and Li Wan felt a little ashamed in his heart.
Seeing the complex changes in the pretty widow's expression, Feng Ziying thought that the other party was worried about her Jia Lan, so she added: "If Brother Lang has some reading skills in the future, I can also say hello to the academy for Brother Lang." , if I can’t find a suitable recommender, I can also find a suitable recommender for Brother Lang.”
Upon hearing this, Li Wan was so grateful that his entire facial expression became vivid. He wanted to say thank you, but felt that it was a bit too simple. This was not a big favor.
Although that was six or seven years later, with the respect of the other party, he will not deny what he said. If he can get help from the other party in the future and let Lang Geer go to Qingtan Academy, he will pass the exam. Hopes for both candidates and candidates have greatly increased.
Li Wan didn't expect his son to be very successful. His father was admitted as a scholar. As long as Lan Geer could reach a higher level and pass the exam, that would be her biggest wish.
Seeing Li Wan's expression, Feng Ziying knew what he meant and quickly waved her hand: "Sister-in-law Zhu, there is no need to be like this, we are all members of the family. The old lady also said that she has hugged me, so what difference do we have between each other? As long as we can help If you get it, my little brother will definitely help.”
When the other party said this, Li Wan felt extremely grateful, but he also knew that saying any more words of thanks would be a bit false. He was just wondering how to repay this debt in the future?
With the current situation of the Feng family, they are probably even better off than the Jia family is now. Giving ordinary gold, silver or other things without space seems tacky, and might make people unhappy, so I need to think about it carefully. .
"If you don't say thank you for your great kindness, then I will thank Brother Keng on behalf of Brother Lan." Li Wan said happily.
Feng Ziying quickly returned the gift and then walked over with the other party.
Although Lin Yatou and Tan Yatou were standing at the gate of Sanqing Pavilion, their eyes were always looking over here. They were also very interested in what Sister-in-law Zhu and Brother Feng were talking about, but they were too knowledgeable to ask any questions. , these two little girls still have a little bit of humanity and sophistication.
Wang Xifeng was a little surprised to see Feng Ziying also arriving at Sanqing Pavilion, but when she saw that Jia Lian had not followed him back, she estimated that Jia Lian was discussing business with Wei Ruolan and Han Qi, so she hesitated for a moment and came over. , "Brother Keng, please take a step to speak."
Another step to speak!
Feng Ziying has a headache. These are all bad things in the Jia family, but she still has to make decisions on herself? Could it be that they all regard themselves as the patriarch of the Jia family? That should be Jia Zhen.
Good things don't come to him, but bad things come to him for advice, but he can't refuse.
"Second sister-in-law, have you thought about it?" Feng Ziying knew what the other party was worried about.
"Brother Keng, you have created a difficult problem for my sister-in-law." Since they are all working together to make a living, Wang Xifeng did not have so many polite words and said with a smile: "It's just the two of us here, sister-in-law." I won’t hide it from you, but the government is having a hard time supporting things. My sister-in-law wants to borrow some money from your Feng family. The interest will be calculated according to the current rules. Don’t think too much of your sister-in-law. She will also think of any good things that happen to her in the future. you."
"Second sister-in-law, I'm afraid you shouldn't talk to me about borrowing money, right? How can I make the decision? You should discuss it with my mother and aunt."
Feng Ziying had expected this situation long ago, and she didn't want the Jia family's father-in-law to get involved. She wanted to plan the matter on her own and enjoy the benefits. But if she had so much money to back it up, Sister Feng was really capable. good idea.
And this is nominally borrowing money, which is to take advantage of the Feng family. Where can I borrow money? As long as you pay enough interest, with Mrs. Lian’s face, three to fifty thousand taels of silver is not a problem at all. The idea for you is nothing more than thinking about borrowing money at ordinary interest, that is, at low interest. Who can pay it back? Do you know what's going on here?
"Brother Keng, I know your mother doesn't care much about these things in your family. You were raised by your aunt, and your aunt loves you the most. Your aunt is also in charge of the money in your house, and your family is also Unlike our Jia family, in the final analysis, it belongs to you alone, so you don’t have so many scruples. If you go and talk to your aunt, won’t she still allow it?”
Wang Xifeng's understanding of the Feng family still surprised Feng Ziying. This woman actually knew her family so well?
