The conversation with Lian Guo Shi was a bit tiring, and it was also the most tiring session since Feng Ziying came to this time and space.
Facing such a person who may become his most important assistant in the future, Feng Ziying does not dare to neglect, and needs to guide the other person's thoughts and ideas into his own preset track from the beginning.
Although a lot of preparation work has been done in the early stage, practicing state affairs is no ordinary person. To be able to win the first prize in the Spring Festival Competition in the fifth year of Yonglong is not only a rote memorization of classics, but also a deep understanding of current affairs.
Therefore, Feng Ziying had painstakingly organized some of her opinions and ideas in a comprehensive and systematic manner before, in order to present them to the other party in the most perfect way.
From now on, it seems to be working well.
Walking home was a good time to pick up and collect my thoughts, and also consider some preparations for my next move to Yongping Mansion.
Just like this, I walked back to Fengcheng Hutong somewhat casually, stepped into the gate of my mansion, and returned to my small courtyard, only to find that Shen Yixiu and Qingwen were not there. When I asked Yunshang, I realized that my mother and aunt had taken Shen Yixiu and Second Sister You away. I called him over, no need to guess, he must be playing mahjong.
When I went to my mother's side, I saw, as expected, that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were having a great time.
Seeing her husband coming back, Shen Yixiu and Second Sister You quickly stood up. Naturally, Feng Ziying would not spoil her mother and aunt, and quickly asked them to sit down and continue.
He also hoped to have such a relatively relaxed atmosphere, and by the way, he informed everyone that he was going to serve as a fellow magistrate in Yongping Mansion.
"Yongping Mansion?!" Upon hearing that her son's destination was determined to be Yongping Mansion in Gyeonggi Province, Duan lost interest in playing mahjong and ordered his servants to pack up the mahjong before letting Feng Ziying and others sit down. , "Brother Keng, did you choose it yourself, or was it arranged by your teacher?"
"It was my son's choice. In fact, my son could have chosen Jiangnan, such as Ningbo, Huangzhou in Huguang, or Nanyang in Henan. Logically speaking, the conditions are better than Yongping, but my son still chose Yongping. Pingfu." Feng Ziying controlled the rhythm of her words very well, not only to make her mother feel dissatisfied, but also to let her know that she was not someone who could give orders casually.
"Oh?" Seeing her son's tone so calm and firm, Duan was a little unsure of the mystery here, "Isn't Ningbo Mansion better than Yongping Mansion?"
She also knew that she didn't know much about how to choose, but she also knew that whether it was Ningbo or Huangzhou, it would definitely be better than Yongping Mansion.
Yongping Mansion is just east of Shuntian Mansion, close to the sea. It cannot be said to be a remote place, but the public security is unstable, the folk customs are strong, and there are constant floods and droughts. My son chose to go here because it is close to the capital?
Are you worried that your daughter-in-law is too far along in her pregnancy to take care of her?
His son suddenly became so caring about his family?
Feng Ziying didn't dare to talk about Baoding Prefecture, otherwise her mother would definitely be angry. No matter how it compares to Baoding Prefecture, it is better than Yongping Prefecture. It is also very close to the capital city, has a better geographical location, a larger population, and is also first-rate. In Dafu, Qi Yongtai had always hoped that Feng Ziying would go to Baoding Mansion.
"In terms of conditions, Ningbo Prefecture is definitely better than Yongping Prefecture. Even Huangzhou and Nanyang Prefecture are better than Yongping. But firstly, Yongping is very close to the capital city. My son can ask for help from several masters at any time. Secondly, To the north of Yongping Mansion is the area under the jurisdiction of Ji Town. My son went to Yongping Mansion this time to take advantage of the Ji Town Guards Station. Besides, my son may not stay there for too long. Two or three years is enough, so why have to leave? It’s too far, and my son is considered a leader among young scholars in the North. It might not be a good idea to go to the south..."
Feng Ziying didn't mention anything about Shen Yixiu's pregnancy, but Shen Yixiu had already had a happy smile on his face. Her husband had already told him that he would choose Beidi, preferably the state capital closest to the capital city, so that he could There is someone nearby to take care of you.
Although Shen Yixiu is very supportive of her husband's career priority, which woman doesn't want her husband to take pity on her? Although she repeatedly persuaded her husband not to worry about her, as she was in good health and her mother-in-law and maids were taking care of her at home, so there was nothing to worry about. However, her husband made such a choice that could take into account all aspects, which of course made her very satisfied.
Duan is also a shrewd person, and she doesn't understand that this is probably still affected by Shen's pregnancy, but she won't say anything. Her son is becoming more and more independent now, and she also has no idea about this kind of thing. I know that I can't help my son make a decision, he can only make his own decision.
"Brother Keng, you just have to have your own ideas about things like this. You don't have to worry about Wan Jun. Your aunt and I are with her, so nothing will happen to her." Mrs. Duan nodded, "Then If you want to go to Wanping, can you ask the second and third sisters to follow you?"
Now Feng Ziying only has two concubines, the second sister You and the third sister You. The Duan family is very satisfied with the second sister You. Although she is tall and looks like a bearded girl, she is soft-tempered, honest and kind, and has big breasts and buttocks. Feng, it looked like she was fertile. If she followed her son to Yongping Mansion, maybe the second sister You could get pregnant before Shen's son was born. That would be perfect.
As for Third Sister You, Duan also knows that she cannot be treated as an ordinary concubine. She has saved her son's life, and now that her son's reputation is rising, there will inevitably be people who are jealous and dissatisfied with her son. With such a woman who is proficient in martial arts in her son's Keeping yourself safe is more important than anything else.
"Wan Jun's son is worried that he is not taken care of..." Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment, but Shen Yixiu had already answered: "My husband, don't worry, I have my mother-in-law and the others to take care of me, and I am very safe, so I asked my two sisters to accompany my husband." In Yongping, there must always be someone around to take care of the husband, and the third sister has to help the husband take care of his safety, so the second sister should be more worried about this."
Second Sister You quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely serve you well and serve your husband well."
Shen Yixiu also pursed his lips and smiled, "That's good, I really hope to hear about my sister's pregnancy soon."
The young and old Duans on the side all laughed, "Well, the second sister is so nice to serve. I also want to have more grandchildren under my knees. I have been looking forward to the fun of being around my knees for a long time."
Second Sister You's face suddenly turned red, but her eyes were full of love.
This time, I will follow my husband to Yongping Mansion. Even though Jin Chuaner, Xiangling and the other girls will also go with me, they must not compete with me and my third sister. If you have to do it yourself, maybe if you bear a few more rains and dews, you can get pregnant by yourself.
Feng Ziying also liked this kind of harmonious atmosphere. The family lived in harmony, with three wives and four concubines, playing the piano and the harp in harmony. Only in this era could men have such a blessing of being together. In his previous life, he would never have dared to think so.
Taking advantage of this joyful moment, Feng Ziying also wanted to talk about another matter, "My mother and aunt are both here, so my son also wants to report another matter..."
"Oh? What is it that deserves to be taken seriously by Brother Keng?" Duan asked suspiciously.
"It's like this. The imperial court is thinking of our son to suppress the rebellion in Xijiang and offer plans to open up the sea. In addition, the second uncle died of illness in Datong before and was unable to ascend the throne, so it feels that it is in debt. This time, the imperial court intends to reinstate the second house of our Feng family to the title of Yunchuan. Uncle,..."
Among the people involved, only Shen Yixiu had known about this matter for a long time. The others were kept in the dark and knew nothing about it, but Shen Yixiu had to pretend to have just learned about it at this time, with a face full of surprise.
Duan glanced at Shen Yixiu subconsciously.
At first, my husband was full of complaints because he failed to take the title of Uncle Yunchuan after his second uncle died of illness, but there was nothing he could do about it. In the end, General Datong took over, but in the end the title was only given to a general like General Shenwu. This also made everyone in the Feng family extremely dissatisfied.
This time, the imperial court suddenly wanted to reinstate the Feng family. My husband's current position as General Shenwu was considered the third wife. So the reinstatement of the second wife would also involve the issue of future raids. The only option was to continue to share the title of the second wife. The problem was that this question It's a good thing for the Feng family, but it may not be happy for Shen Yixiu.
So Duan first took a look at her daughter-in-law.
But when she saw her daughter-in-law's surprised expression but not much dissatisfaction or annoyance, Duan thought she didn't understand the mystery here, but then she thought about it, after being together for so long, her daughter-in-law was smart and lovely, and she was definitely not interested in this kind of thing. I didn’t understand the matter, but I didn’t show any displeasure, maybe because I thought she was the eldest lady, and she had a child in her belly, so no one could shake her status, right?
If that's the case, then it's Amitabha's fault. Mrs. Duan is not willing to break her daughter-in-law's heart because of this. Besides, her daughter-in-law still has a baby in her belly, so be sure not to cause fetal contractions.
Ziying, on the other hand, seemed too hasty to talk about this matter without discussing it with her first. If she made Shen angry, wouldn't it mean that she was in a bad mood for no reason?
After coughing dryly, Mrs. Duan glanced at her son, and then said slowly: "The imperial court has this intention? Why did you suddenly remember it at this time? What did you do before?"
"Madam, this is also a good thing. Now that the eldest daughter-in-law has inherited the inheritance, the second one is missing. Now that the court can show her favor, the Feng family is very happy. We should all be happy..." Shen Yixiu naturally wanted to show up in front of his mother-in-law at this time. Get a good impression.
Shen Yixiu knew very well that since this matter was irreversible, a long-term plan was needed.
I am the eldest wife, and in the future I will have two eldest wives. How do I gain a foothold in this big family? The relationships between husband, parents-in-law, sisters, and servants all need to be considered carefully. How do I handle these well? Shen Yixiu has already considered relationships and prioritization.
Apart from the husband, there are the parents-in-law in this house. The father-in-law is not around all year round, so the mother-in-law and concubine are the most important. As long as she can win the approval and trust of her mother-in-law, she will basically be in an invincible position in the Feng Mansion.
