Miaoyu's eyes narrowed, but her heart became more and more contemptuous.
There is duplicity, but the other party seems to admit that he likes beauty. He clearly covets her beauty, but he still refuses to admit it and pretends to be generous.
"Master Feng, my father once told me whether I should become a monk or not. Although I don't agree with my father's opinion, I also agreed to my father not to become a monk. However, I can also live in Buddhism and meditate as before. As for saying that you accept my father's advice, I will not become a monk." I was asked to make plans for my future livelihood, so I don’t think it’s necessary. Although Miaoyu is a female, living in Buddhism is nothing more than a simple meal, and she doesn’t need many external things..."
For this extremely hypocritical woman, Feng Ziying really felt like the stones in the toilet - smelly and hard. If she hadn't agreed to Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai repeatedly mentioned in the letter that she must take good care of Miaoyu to make up for it. Feng Ziying really didn't want to care about the debt she owed to her mother and daughter.
As for her mother, Feng Ziying believed that the rice was cooked before the rice was cooked. By then, it would be impossible for her mother to cancel another marriage because of such things.
"Miss Miaoyu, I think we may still have some differences on this issue, but that's okay. After you return to Suzhou next, will you return to the capital?"
Feng Ziying also knew that if she argued with the other party at this time, the other party would become even more arrogant and cause more trouble, so she simply let her go.
After being beaten and hit by reality countless times, she was able to realize that the so-called Buddhist world outside her home was not as pure and flawless as she imagined, let alone a paradise.
"Miaoyu plans to stay in Suzhou for a few days after carrying the spirit back to Suzhou, and then return to the capital to meditate with the master." After a moment of hesitation, Miaoyu said her future plans.
"Well, Uncle Lin left a generous fortune for Miss Miaoyu. Well, it can also be regarded as a dowry. I will keep it for the time being. In addition, Uncle Lin entrusted me to make a plan for Miss Miaoyu's future. I know Miss Miaoyu has some prejudices against me, but it doesn’t matter. It’s best for you to go to the capital. After I finish handling my affairs in Yangzhou, I have to return to the capital. I believe we will meet again. Well, I will also make an arrangement for Miss Miaoyu. , Of course, all this is based on Miss Miaoyu’s acceptance. If Miss Miaoyu is not willing, then I will not force it.”
Feng Ziying's frank and natural attitude still moved Miaoyu a little.
She couldn't tell where the resentment in her heart came from. Was it resentment toward her father or dissatisfaction with her own fate? Or is it the sense of loss that comes from comparing his sister's future? Or is it an indescribable hint of envy after learning about the lives and environment of Daiyu and the girls around her?
No, no, no, Miaoyu subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she couldn't hide her true intention.
Even concubine girls like Yingchun and Tanchun can still enjoy the life of a noble lady in Jia's house, but she has been fostered in a temple since she was a child. Even her mother is the same. She has a home and cannot return, and now she But she has to marry into the Feng Mansion as a concubine, while her younger sister Daiyu is the head wife. How unfair is this?
Although she knew that this was her fate, this strong sense of resentment and humiliation still enveloped her heart, making her unwilling to accept this reality, and giving her a sense of urgency when facing this man who she would not be able to get rid of in the future. Unspeakable feelings of resentment and hostility.
But even so, Miaoyu had to admit in her heart that this young man's conversational style was not as bad as she thought. Faced with her own provocation and hostility, she still behaved calmly and generously.
"That's it." Miaoyu tried her best to control her emotions and not show them. She stood up and served tea to see the guests off.
Feng Ziying smiled slightly, stood up, nodded, and then left gracefully.
Miaoyu relaxed, but suddenly she was faced with Yu Chuan'er's face, which was pouting and full of displeasure.
Although she has very complicated feelings for Feng Ziying, she sincerely likes Yu Chuan'er Miaoyu. The past few months of getting along have made the two of them very close. Seeing the anger on Yu Chuan'er's face There was even some hostility, and Miaoyu was a little flustered for a while.
"Yuchuan'er, I..."
"Actually, the girl knows better than anyone else who my uncle is thinking about. With the girl's intelligence, she will not be clear about it. How come her good intentions have turned into a donkey's liver and lungs?" Yu Chuan'er's inner dissatisfaction was beyond words, "I don't understand what the uncle is doing." I just want you to be unwelcome. Is it still wrong for Mr. Lin to entrust this matter to me? Even though Mr. Lin was a little wrong, his feelings for the girl are genuine, and he is sincere in accepting his entrustment. Why did the girl provoke such cynicism?"
Miaoyu was speechless.
"In the past, my servant didn't think that Miss Lin and Miss Yun had anything to do with each other. Even though they were not as close as Miss Lin and Miss Yun, they had known each other since childhood, so that was normal. After Miss Bao, Miss Second, and Miss Three came, I also like girls very much, but girls are always unwilling to get close to them, and I can’t understand why.”
Yu Chuan'er's frank and honest words made Miao Yu even more silent. She didn't want to answer Yu Chuan'er's question, but she couldn't bear to hurt Yu Chuan'er's heart. After hesitation, she said calmly: "Maybe I am born with a cold temper. I don’t like to be close to others, so I said that I am suitable for practicing in a temple..."
"That's not the case, I don't believe it." Yu Chuan'er retorted unceremoniously: "The girl actually likes Miss Lin and Miss Yun very much, but I don't understand that the girl is unwilling to get too close to them, as if she wants to Keep this situation with them, and it will be the same after Miss Bao and Miss Second came. I don’t know what the girl is thinking..."
"Yuchuan'er, they are all a family, I am not." A coldness appeared at the corner of Miaoyu's mouth, slightly raised, but her gentle and jade-like cheeks became even colder.
"Why are we not a family anymore? You and Miss Lin are sisters. If you don't regard them as a family, and you have prejudices in your mind, it will naturally be difficult for you to become a family." Yu Chuan'er pouted in disapproval, "I remember my uncle said In other words, if you cannot treat others fairly, then it may be that who you treat them as is what they will become."
These words full of philosophical and Buddha-like words came out of the mouth of Yu Chuan'er, a girl who had been in the temple for a long time. Miaoyu was also stunned, "Did your uncle say that?"
"Yes." Yuchuan'er didn't care. After being around Feng Ziying for a long time, she could hear many strange but reasonable words all day long. The girls had become accustomed to it.
After chewing carefully for a long time, Miaoyu said nothing, and Yuchuaner also said nothing, just accompanying him.
**********
"Ziying, this kid, just ignored me after he returned to Yangzhou. I went to talk to him about the matter, and he said a few words lightly, and then said that this was all our business, and then let it go... ..." He Fengsheng glanced at Fan Jingwen, "What do you think is wrong with him?"
Fan Jingwen smiled leisurely, "What's wrong? Isn't this what we are looking forward to? Such a rare opportunity is nothing to Ziying, who came to Jiangnan twice in the early stage of going to Xijiang. Didn't he also say that everyone Does the firewood have a high flame? He also hopes that we can benefit more from it."
He Fengsheng pondered for a while before slowly speaking: "Mengzhang, did Ziying talk to you?"
Fan Jingwen nodded silently, "We talked about it, um, twice. What do you think?"
He Fengsheng exhaled a long breath, walked to the door, and looked into the distance outside: "Although many of his ideas may not be consistent with mine, I still have to admit that he convinced me, well, or that I He gave me an answer to many of my questions, but of course, I don’t know if these answers are correct. As he said, it will take time or history to verify it.”
"Brother Jun Yu is such a calm and calm person, isn't he also feeling uneasy during this time?" Fan Jingwen chuckled, "I know where Ziying's thoughts come from, but if you think about it carefully, many of them are not unreasonable, such as He said, when we can't find any other better way out, why not give it a try?"
"Actually, we might be more easily persuaded by Ziying, but that may not be the case with Luyou." He Fengsheng shook his head.
He is from Huguang, and Lian Guoshi and Fan Jingwen are both from Henan and the other from Beizhi. They are both more consistent in their interests with Feng Ziying, but Wu Gang is an out-and-out Jiangnan scholar. It is not easy to convince Wu Zong.
At this time, Feng Ziying was sitting opposite Wu Zong. The purple clay pottery cup was slightly shaken, and Feng Ziying took a sip, "Friend Lu, do you think I am the kind of narrow-minded person who defines interests based on geographical boundaries? "
Wu Di held the pottery cup in his hand and remained silent.
"The road is far away to know the horse power, and the time is to know the people's heart; the strong wind is to know the strength of the grass, and the roughness is to know the sincerity." Feng Ziying seemed very casual, "As time goes by, I believe that everyone can see the truest side of each other, but at least there are many things On the face of it, it cannot be faked. Who will benefit the most from the strategy of opening up the sea? It is self-evident. Even though it is forced by the border troubles in Liaodong, what it brings objectively is something that deer friends should look at. You have to understand.”
"Ziying, you have told me a lot, and I understand. Then Ziying, I want to ask, when the dispute between the interests of the North and the South of the Yangtze River is handed over to your hands and dominated by you, what will you do? When the interests of the court When there is a conflict between the interests of you Northern scholars, which side will you stand on?" Wu Yan raised his eyes and asked leisurely.
Feng Ziying laughed dumbly, asking herself this question that has been repeatedly demonstrated thousands of times in future generations?
"Friend Lu, you are crudely opposing the relationship between part and part, part and whole. In fact, if you can carefully study this dialectical relationship of unity of opposites, you will find that it is inseparable... So let go In the end, I can still give you a clear answer: the part obeys the whole, and the whole serves the part.”
too easy.
