Feng Ziying glanced at Baochai with satisfaction. This is what a real wife should be like, knowledgeable and expressive, generous and tolerant, but with a deep groove in her chest.
Well, not to mention, Baochai has been getting married for a year, and her figure has become more and more plump. She really looks like a waiter lifting up the weak and fragile imperial concubine. The grooves in the chest are no longer a description of a wealthy city, but a real description. The chest is plump.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying felt a little itchy in her heart.
Baochai seemed to feel her husband's gaze. She thought her husband was satisfied with her performance, and she felt a little happy in her heart.
Bao Qin is like this, sometimes he is stubborn and does not care. Although he is at home, Ying'er and Ling Guan are still in front of him. Moreover, because of Xue Biao's concern, he often ignores that he is already a member of the Feng family and loves to be Brother Biao. Fighting for some benefits is not a good sign.
"Well, I didn't expect my sister to see this." Feng Ziying's eyebrows were filled with admiration and she nodded, "The court is in trouble right now. Mr. Huang, the Minister of Household Affairs, specially consults with me. Doesn't he know this?" Who makes a living by storing grain in Daku and Tinggu? People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. There must be room for doing business. I have already made a lot of money this time. If you want to make enough money at once, Who in the world will do business with you? What's more, the imperial court has agreed to continue to purchase large quantities of grain from the south in the future. In other words, if you guard this channel, as long as you can bring grain, there will be a certain percentage of profits there. , if you still have more, you can sell it yourself, which is equivalent to having the court guaranteeing it for you, why not?"
Seeing that Xue Baoqin was still a little unconvinced, Feng Ziying also knew that this girl had this temperament, so she didn't care and continued: "Besides, Huang Ruliang is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and controls the financial expenses of the Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, he is also a native of Renxiang, the chief minister. , have a close relationship, and can ask me for advice on every detail, do they really not know what to do?"
When Feng Ziying said this, Bao Qin's expression changed slightly. Naturally, she had to pay attention to her husband's future career. Although her brother's interests were important, they could not be compared with her husband's future.
"Ms. sir, sister, I understand." Now that he understands the importance of it, Baoqin is not the kind of person who refuses to admit his mistakes. He got up and got out of bed and said seriously: "Little sister is still shallow, it's just that I'm thinking that my brother has never been able to get an official position, and I feel that I don't have enough confidence to marry a daughter of the Fang family, so I'm a little anxious, and I hope my husband and sister will forgive me."
Feng Ziying still agreed with Bao Qin's mistake. She waved her hands and said with a smile: "It's good to understand the whole story. As for saying that you are worried about the marriage between Brother Biao and the Fang family, that's too much worry. Uncle Fang and I are Not to mention classmates, Brother Tao has already attracted the attention of the court for doing this kind of business, but this is something that no ordinary businessman can compare with. Uncle Fang is also a visionary, so he will definitely understand this. Next year, the two families will get married as scheduled. , there is no such thing as blindness like the Mei family, it is a waste of money for your husband,..."
Hearing Feng Ziying take the opportunity to tease Bao Qin, Baochai and the two maids in the room laughed. However, Ying'er and Lingguan only dared to lower their heads and purse their lips and smile, while Baochai's face was bright.
Bao Qin, however, was so amused by Feng Ziying's words that she blushed. She couldn't help but hit her husband on the shoulder with her small fist, and said in a disgusted voice: "My husband knows how to laugh at me,..."
"This is really not a joke, sister. My husband has been with Mei Zhiye for a year. To be honest, Mei Zhiye still has some ability to do things, but he is a bit pedantic. A few days ago, I acted as the governor's agent for my husband and handled government affairs. He also took the initiative to show his attitude and was willing to do things sincerely. Naturally, the husband would not argue with him. He had handled the tax matters for many years and was quite skilled. If it was left to him, the husband would be much more relaxed. It cannot be said that he did not care about the past grudges, but he still I am willing to give him a chance..."
Feng Ziying's tone was particularly relaxed and casual, and he had no emotion when talking about Mei Zhiye. It was obvious that he had not cared about those people and that kind of thing for a long time. Baoqin was also intoxicated by the sight.
I think at the time, I was very embarrassed and angry because of the Mei family's repentance, and I was worried about gains and losses, so I had no choice but to follow my sister and marry into the Feng family, but now it seems that it is a wonderful move.
I would rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife, let alone Mei Zhiye's son of a concubine. So what if Mei Zhiye is just a member of her husband's staff, and her husband has long stopped treating her. I keep those things in mind, but I cherish myself very much.
For this reason alone, Bao Qin felt that she had chosen the right person and the wrong path, and her whole life had been worth it.
"My husband is a hero of the world, so he will naturally not care about ordinary people. I believe that the Shuntian Mansion under the leadership of my husband will be completely renewed, and all the princes in the court will see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts..." Baoqin was full of witty words for a while. , Feng Ziying and Baochai both looked sideways.
This is really rare. It is so rare for Bao Qin to say such flattery.
Seeing that her husband and sister were looking at her with strange looks, Bao Qin also felt that she was having a hard time with herself today, so she simply said openly: "Sister, my little sister took the liberty today and wanted to serve my husband... "
Feng Ziying was supposed to rest in Baochai's room tonight, but Baoqin's eyes were filled with emotion, and her cheeks were as red as a halo, obviously she was moved by love.
Naturally, Baochai would not care about this with her sister, and readily agreed: "Then my husband will go to Baoqin's place."
Ying'er and Lingguan also covered their mouths and giggled.
Needless to say, Feng Ziying is a fierce and fierce tiger, attacking Baoqin arbitrarily and working hard, but it is also sad to say that Ying'er accompanied Baochai back to the house.
"I didn't expect Miss Qin to be like this. It's obvious that Master Ai loves her so much that he would say such things in front of the slaves." Ying'er's face was still blushing, and her tone was quite complicated. Gu Xun
"Why, I'll have you for one day anyway. Why don't I tell my husband and I'll choose a good day to take over the house." Baochai looked quite funny and glanced at his personal maid: "Maybe I saw Qingwen taking over the house. Are you feeling a little envious?"
Baochai and Ying'er have also been masters and servants for many years. Baochai did not shy away from many words when she was unmarried. Not to mention that now that Baochai is a married woman, Ying'er, the personal maid, will naturally follow her for the rest of her life. Of course, she must also take care of Ying'er. consider.
"How can a slave be so narrow-minded?" Ying'er shook her head arrogantly: "Although Qingwen and the slave are not on good terms, she has been with me for so many years and is a person close to Grandma Shen, so it is reasonable to take over the house. Regarding the matter, I just feel that Miss Qin dares to act and speak out. If it were any other master, I am afraid that he would have been offended, but our master is generous and likes Miss Qin to be so straightforward..."
Baochai also tilted her head slightly, agreeing with Ying'er's statement.
Baoqin is just a concubine, sometimes she is a little proud of her favor and doesn't pay much attention to what she says.
If words like today's words fall into the ears of outsiders, there may be some trouble, saying that Baoqin's elbows are turned outward, and he only knows how to plan for his mother's family, but ignores the interests of her husband's family.
Fortunately, Ziying doesn't care about this, but you have to be careful about things like this. A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest. If this continues, over time, my husband may not be able to tolerate it forever.
"Ying'er, it's not a good thing for Baoqin to be like this. I will talk about her after I come down." Baochai shook his head, "My husband is generous, but we can't take it for granted. Brother Tao is also old and he has his own way. It's okay for my husband to help him before leaving, but it can't help him for a lifetime. He also needs to stand on his own feet. Baoqin's doing this may not really mean helping him. If the man is missing and beats alone outside, it will affect his growth. …”
Ying'er was also heartbroken after hearing this. Her daughter was the one who behaved like a big lady, while Miss Qin was still a little angry.
*******
When Feng Ziying's letter was received, Feng Tang had already arrived in Luoyang.
As a coach, he is indeed a bit slow, but he has to be.
The entire Eastern Route Army of 120,000 troops was actually divided into four parts and meandered eastward.
Except for the 10,000 vanguards led by Liu Dongyang who moved faster, the other three groups all set off from Qingyang in stages. When the last group set off from Qingyang, Liu Dongyang's vanguards had already passed Luoyang and entered Kaifeng.
Following Liu Dongyang's vanguard was the 30,000-strong front force led by Liu Baichuan, which also moved faster. When Liu Dongyang was resting on the front line of Guide in Kaifeng, Liu Baichuan's 30,000-strong army also passed through Luoyang and arrived at Xingyang. At this time, Feng Tang The main force of 60,000 men arrived in Mianchi.
The consumption of an army of more than 100,000 is an astronomical figure. The main purpose of Liu Dongyang's vanguard is not to fight, but to arrange logistics supplies along the way, and at the same time, to connect and collect war intelligence as soon as possible to make early preparations for the war.
Feng Tang's main army had been renovating in Luoyang for three days and was preparing to continue its march when he received a letter from his son.
The letter introduced the current situation of the imperial court and some of the Ministry of War's logistical support arrangements. It was basically like that, but as long as there was no big trouble, Feng Tang didn't care.
Fighting in Shandong, Feng Tang still felt somewhat confident.
Firstly, it is my hometown, secondly, the climate and geographical conditions are acceptable, and thirdly, it is not far from Beijing Normal University, so I have more confidence in logistical support.
What a war is about is logistical support. Feng Tang doesn’t think that Niu Jizong is a peerless general. The Xuanfu Army is really no better than the Northwest Army. After leaving Xuanfu, in this land of Shandong, the strength of this army Feng Tang also wanted to see how strong his combat effectiveness was.
If he was asked to suddenly lead his army directly into southern Zhili, he would be really scared, but it would be much safer to deal with Shandong first.
In his letter, his son talked about the conditions of Dagu, Yuguan and shipping. The price of food in the capital is rising continuously, and refugees from all over the country are also gathering in the capital. Logistics support is a big problem. However, shipping is smooth, although it is not as easy as water transportation. It can meet the needs of the North, but if it is absolutely necessary to only meet the needs of the army, it can still be done.
Having this is enough.
