The bustling scene in Jia's mansion still made Feng Ziying a little envious.
From the moment you walk into Rong Ning Street, you can feel the bustling atmosphere celebrating the festival.
The lanterns were hung up, making it look festive, and the entire walls on both sides of the door were painted new, making it full of joy.
Most of the people coming and going were servants of Rongning Second Mansion. Some were driving people to see them off, shouting and whipping their horses, which was particularly energetic; some were returning from shopping, with piles of chickens and ducks bundled together, "Gah." "Quack" and "Gugugu" struggled on the cart, as if they already knew that human beings want to build happiness on their sacrifice.
There were also the buckets of fish. From time to time, one or two fish would struggle to jump out, and they would jump and struggle wildly on the board of the car, hoping to escape with their lives, which provoked a burst of laughter from the girls and boys who were helping on both sides of the car. After chasing it, it was finally returned to its original owner, and it returned to the barrel in despair.
I have to admit that the total number of people in the Rongning and Ning mansions is no less than 1,780, and the lively atmosphere at the end of the year is really very pleasant.
The girls, boys, and servants all had smiles on their faces, or whispered about various activities this year, or talked about the calendar of this year in the mansion with a smile on their face.
Feng's Mansion lacks this atmosphere. On the one hand, the population in Feng's Mansion is far less than that here. On the other hand, the Mansion has just moved to the capital city a few years ago, and it is far from being truly integrated. I still have only a limited understanding of the various New Year customs and activities in the mansions of dignitaries.
Feng Ziying was riding a horse, but there was also a carriage following her. At the gate of Lixiangyuan, Xiangling got out of the carriage.
Sisters Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er came back by car, which made the two sisters both excited and nervous. This feeling of almost returning to their parents' home was really unusual.
He dismounted at the door and was greeted by Jia Lian, Baoyu and even Jia Huan, which surprised Feng Ziying.
"Brother Lian, Baoyu, and Brother Huan, this is too polite. I just came to wish the elders in the mansion a happy New Year. There is no need for you and me to be so formal. We don't have to do this." Seeing that Jia Lian, Baoyu and Jia Huan were all serious, Feng Ziying quickly waved her hand.
Jia Lian and Bao Yu both breathed a sigh of relief. This was what the master told them. It would be bad if they didn't do this, but they both felt a little awkward. Fortunately, Feng Ziying's words made them both feel more relaxed.
However, Jia Huan still bowed politely, which made Baoyu feel a little uncomfortable.
The third brother Huan actually started to complain now, and even pretended to come to pick up Brother Feng. The master actually agreed. This made Baoyu very uncomfortable, and at the same time there was also a faint worry. Could it be that this third brother Huan was really a Can you read?
Thinking that Huan Laosan seemed to have worked just as hard as Langeer in ethnic studies over the past year, Baoyu felt even more uncomfortable. But don't wait for a few years. Huanlaosan and Langeer both had to take the exam. It would be a bit sad to have a scholar.
"Brother Feng, you are now a concubine. Mr. Xuexueli said that this concubine will be able to enter the Hanlin Academy in the next step. The Hanlin Academy is the place where the imperial court stores materials. In the future, he will be a general or prime minister. Only with experience in the Imperial Academy, even if there are hundreds of Jinshi in one subject, there are only ten or twenty people, so all the students in our ethnic studies should learn from you."
Whoever says that the third child in this group lacks emotional intelligence and IQ, Feng Ziying really wants to spit on him.
With this ability to flatter someone, how many can compare to it? At least Baoyu was far behind him. After saying these words, Feng Ziying had long been accustomed to hearing such words, and she felt as comfortable as ever.
"Hey, Brother Huan, you guys, the scholars, praise me a little too much. Not to mention that there are number one, number two, and top pick in every subject. Even if I am among the 10 or 20 common people, that's not enough." Not everyone can be a general or a prime minister. What we scholars pay attention to when studying is to establish a heart for the world, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and to create peace for all generations. Only by reading with this heart, what we read will come out. Books are meaningful and valuable, not reading for the sake of reading, do you understand?"
Since Huan Laosan admired herself so much, Feng Ziying naturally did not hesitate to teach him.
Jia Baoyu is not good at studying, but that does not necessarily mean that Jia Huan is not good at it. If Jia Huan can publish a book, it will not be in vain that Jia Zheng and his wife gave their sister Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er their affection.
I am really satisfied with the use of this golden necklace. If the Jia family wants to take this golden necklace back now, I will really feel uncomfortable with it.
These words made Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu stand in awe, and Jia Huan's eyes were even more enlightened. He was still focusing on pure study of classics and meaning, and could not talk about policy discussions, but Zhang Zai's words were very important to him. It was a bit advanced, but now that Feng Ziying used these words to encourage him, she undoubtedly had some expectations for him, which made him excited, full of excitement and gratitude.
But Jia Baoyu stood aside, inexplicably feeling that some of his luck had been taken away by this brother Huan, and even felt some fear and jealousy in his heart. Could it be that this brother Huan could really read well? Even Brother Feng was like this. Generally speaking?
What should I do if Huan Laosan really reads the book?
Jia Lian didn't think much about it, he just felt that Feng Ziying seemed to have a high opinion of Jia Huan, which was a little different from the neglect and contempt for Jia Huan in the mansion.
In addition, Aunt Zhao is also acting as a monster in every possible way in the house, and Jia Huan is also a bit extreme in temperament, so they are becoming more and more unpopular. Basically, except for the second uncle and Tanchun, few other people are willing to deal with them. Speaker.
"Ziying, let's go, the two masters may be waiting."
Today, I am here to visit the Jia family on behalf of the Feng family. Naturally, the principals of both houses of the Jia family will be there, so Feng Ziying also met Jia She and Jia Zheng in the Rongxi Hall as a junior, and chatted for a while. It’s come to an end.
No matter how much Jia She and Jia Zheng valued Feng Ziying, they could not always accompany her. Therefore, only Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan accompanied Feng Ziying when she went to visit the old lady.
When I went there, I saw that everyone was there.
Sanchun Xiangyun and Baodai were sitting at the bottom, smiling happily, while Yuanyang was chatting lively with Heping'er, and Wang Xifeng was sitting with Xing, Wang, Xue and Li Wan.
Seeing the three brothers Jia Lian and Feng Ziying coming in, the old lady also smiled on her face.
"Hey, brother Keng is here? It's rare to see him." The old lady said cheerfully: "If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid I wouldn't come to the door, right? I told you the year before last, don't give birth to anything Come on, if you have nothing to do, come to our house and sit around for a while. Lian'er and Baoyu are both friendly with you, so why are you not willing to come and see us old ladies?"
"Old Ancestor, we are all still young people. Even if you are in good health, you are no different from us. I don't know how many girls like to have fun with you." Wang Xifeng joked with a smile, It only made the old lady happy.
Feng Ziying still politely greeted the group of people before continuing: "Back to the old lady, I just went to the Hanlin Academy to study and observe politics. There are a lot of things, but it is estimated that it will be better next year. Second brother Lian and I also see Baoyu often. What the old lady said made me ashamed. Our two families don’t speak the same language. My uncle, aunt, and aunt Xue’s family all take care of my nephew. How dare I come less often? To be honest, When I entered the mansion, I felt much more festive than we did there, and I could even say a few more words..."
Mother Jia naturally understands what Feng Ziying said. Now the three girls in Feng Ziying's house are all from the Jia family. It is estimated that the Feng family is the only one who can get this treatment. Of course, other families will not accept such kindness.
Hearing the tone of Feng Ziying's words, Jia Mu was thoughtful and glanced at the six girls, Sanchun and Baodaiyun, who were sitting at the bottom. Except for Xichun, who was a little younger, the others were slowly getting into the marriage discussion. It is not too early for Yingchun and Baochai to get married, and it is time for Daiyu, Xiangyun and Tanchun to consider getting married. There seems to be no movement on what the family is thinking about.
The Xue family girl naturally has the Xue family to consider. Daiyu doesn't know if there is any news from her father's side. She needs to ask the second child to write to ask, but the elder brother of Yingchun Tanchun should have considered it long ago. And this Xiangyun...
Jia's mother knew about Baoyu. Both Jia Zheng and Wang had told her about Feng Ziying's suggestions.
Jia Mu also admitted that this was probably the most suitable place for Baoyu. She did not have to marry a princess. Some powerful princes and princesses were also suitable. In this way, by getting married to the Tian family, Baoyu could be securely protected. A life of wealth and honor is just like that of the Wei family.
Therefore, the Daiyu and Xiangyun she originally thought about were impossible. Daiyu was fine, and her father made the decision. However, Xiangyun's parents were gone, and those two uncles and aunts were mean and unkind. , I'm afraid I have never considered a good family for my niece.
Although no one said it, Jia Mu could still know some things from Yuanyang, and Yun Yatou wanted to live here forever and didn't want to go back, so she could get a glimpse.
"Brother Keng, if that's the case, please treat our place as your home. If you have nothing to do, come and sit with Lian'er and Baoyu. Your two uncles usually spend a lot of time in the house, and now you also Even if you are a member of the imperial court, you can still find topics to talk about. Every time we go back and forth, we all say that these relatives and friends are getting closer and closer, and we are like a family."
As soon as Jia Mu's words came out, everyone was startled, especially the female relatives, who were even more sensitive.
Except for Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan who were still confused and didn't understand, Jia Lian and several girls could understand some of the meaning contained in it.
It’s just that Mother Jia’s words are also very subtle and euphemistic. Only those who have some thoughts in their hearts can understand them. Especially when Mother Jia said these words, she glanced at the girls. If there was a deep meaning, it would naturally make many Life creates ideas.
