Yuanchun had brought the message here a long time ago. She went back to Jia Mansion to visit her relatives, and also wanted to go back to the Grand View Garden to have a look.
This scared Feng Ziying to death.
What is this for?
Is it necessary to declare independence by showing off the carriage and horse?
Or do you want to overshadow the guest?
But have you won it?
I want to go back to the Grand View Garden at this time, but now my family members live in the Grand View Garden. What do you mean by coming here?
What do Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu think?
What do the servants in the garden think and see? Many of them are from the original Rongning Second Mansion.
But Yuanchun's attitude in the letter was very firm and he insisted on coming to see it, which made Feng Ziying a little at a loss. It's definitely impossible to see it publicly. Let Long Jinwei, no, Long Jinwei don't care, I know, with Lu Song helping to cover it up, nothing will happen, but if the palace finds out, it will be a big trouble.
It was also very troublesome in private. Jia Yuanchun had to stay at the new Jia Mansion during the spring vacation, and then quietly rode a carriage across the entire capital city to Sanjue Street.
It's not impossible to do this, but Feng Ziying is afraid that Jia Yuanchun will do something wrong again.
For example, if you want to stay in the original provincial villa for one night, and also take a boat trip to reminisce about the past, you will really make yourself feel dizzy.
With the keen intuition of Shen, Xue and Lin, they would not be able to detect the fishy things inside. I am afraid that the secret will be exposed. Feng Ziying planned to wait until the spring of the 15th Yuan to go to Xinjia Mansion to meet and persuade her. If it was impossible to "subdue" her on the bed, let her give up this idea that would bring unlimited risks.
But Feng Ziying was not sure whether he could persuade this woman.
This woman has been a bit "crazy" since she came back from Jiangnan. She seems to think that she can do anything, and hopes to take her out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, but can she do it now?
This incident has always made Feng Ziying a little uneasy.
But it would take ten more days to reach fifteen, so it would be meaningless to write a letter now. Yuanchun would definitely not listen and would only talk about it in person.
In addition to the Yuanchun incident, Wang Xifeng is going back to Beijing on the tenth day of the first lunar month.
This is also something that makes Feng Ziying a little embarrassed.
Wang Ziteng has been pardoned by the general amnesty, and the court is not concerned about himself.
The old Denglai Army was merged into Cao Wenzhao's new Denglai Army. After the merger, the combat effectiveness of the Denglai Army was greatly increased.
Wang Ziteng fulfilled his promise, and the court was very satisfied, so he stopped pursuing the Wang family and even retained Wang Ziteng's status in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.
Now Wang Xifeng is returning to Beijing with Hu Zi. In addition to seeing herself, she also wants to see Wang Ziteng.
Although Wang Ziteng had known for a long time that he and Wang Xifeng had a son, Feng Ziying still felt a little uncomfortable to challenge him in person.
In particular, Jia Lian will return to Beijing on the eighth day of the lunar month and will return south to Yangzhou on the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
On the one hand, Jia Lian returned to Beijing to report on the cooperation between Haitong Yinzhuang Yangzhou and the stock exchange to promote the reform of joint-stock industries. On the other hand, he also came for Qiao Jieer.
Sister Qiao is about to turn fifteen, so it's time to talk about a marriage, but it's obvious that Wang Xifeng has been focusing on business in the past two years, and even Huzi has ignored it, let alone the daughter she had with her ex-husband.
Of course, Lin Zhixiao's family took care of Sister Qiao. Sister Qiao also lived a good life like the daughter of an ordinary rich family. However, Sister Qiao's surname was Jia after all. Although Jia Lian was a little ruthless, he only cared about marrying wives and concubines in Yangzhou. After giving birth to a son, he didn't care much about Qiao's life, but now that Qiao's son was just getting hairpins, he still had to intervene at least to avoid being poked in the back by the Jia clan in the future.
In addition, now the Jia family seems to have regained a chance to breathe under the protection of the Feng family.
Jia Huan had already passed last year's Qiu Wei Competition and became a scholar, Jia Lan had also passed the scholar exam, but Jia Cong was not qualified because Jia She was still serving his sentence in exile.
The Jia family suddenly showed good signs of transformation from the declining Hairpin Ying family to the Shishu family.
This year's Spring Festival Competition is coming soon. If Jia Huan can pass the Jinshi examination, it will undoubtedly be a doctor who can comfort the people of the Jia family.
Even if Jia Huan really didn't pass the Jinshi examination, he already had the qualifications to be an official with his Juren status, and he could move forward independently from the Jia family.
And Jia Baoyu, who had been promised by Feng Ziying to go to the Hanlin Academy to make a living in the future, was also very excited. During this period, he also restrained himself a lot and stayed at home, waiting to be able to enter the Hanlin Academy in the future and become a scholar.
These situations made Jia Lian a little confused, hoping to come back and see the changes in the Jia family.
Jia Lian is back, Wang Xifeng is back, Qiao Jieer and Huzi, plus Wang Ziteng, there are Qin Keqing and Shi Xiangyun, as well as Zhen Baoqi, Shuitang and Mu Tan, there are many complexities, and they all seem to be closely related to themselves. Feng Ziying really felt that this holiday was worse than no vacation at all, and she felt a little overwhelmed. After receiving the news that Feng Ziying was coming to visit, the entire Jia family became restless.
Today is different from the past. The Jia family has lost its former glory and has even been reduced to a situation where it has to rely on charity to make a living.
After moving to Mingshifang, everyone including Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and others felt that the conditions here were actually more suitable and were very satisfied.
Although the scale is not as large as the two Rongning mansions combined, and it is not as luxurious as the Rongguo mansion after the construction of the Grand View Garden, it is a villa of Dongping County Prince, with a moderate location and an elegant environment. More importantly, there are not so many mansions and no If so many people are needed to take care of it, the cost will be much smaller.
Another key factor is that it is far away from the area where Jia family members live in Jinchengfang, and there are fewer ties and clan members who come to visit Qiufeng.
Of course, some members of the Jia clan have "discovered" this place during the spring break, and they have begun to arrive one after another. This has also made the Jia family realize that it is impossible to get rid of this gang of maggots like tarsal bones, but it is better to have less. , count how much you can save.
"It's rare that Brother Keng has to come over to visit us. It shows that people don't ignore us just because our family is in trouble."
Jia Zheng stroked his beard and smiled, rarely feeling much better.
After experiencing the disaster of being imprisoned in Nanjing and forced to serve as the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, his energy was not as good as before. When he returned to the capital, he kept to himself, rarely making friends with people outside, and rarely going out. But now he is the only one of the older generation in the family. His eldest brother Jia She is still serving his sentence in Shaanxi, and he doesn't know when the end will be. , if you really have to serve your sentence without waiting for amnesty, I guess this old bone will have to be thrown over there.
But you don't know how to solve this problem, so you are counting on Feng Ziying to help you, but you are counting on others for everything. Even if you marry a daughter of the Jia family, not everything can be done satisfactorily for you.
"Yes, let's move here. Brother Keng has arranged everything for us. Brother Jia Zhen and Brother Rong are also back. The whole family can at least be reunited. It’s a rough idea, it depends on the boss..."
Jia Mu also sighed and raised her head.
Hu Bo next to her quickly laid a handkerchief for Jia Mu and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Jia Mu then said, "We still have to thank you for coming. We still count on Brother Keng for Baoyu's affairs. Brother Huan will compete in the Spring Festival this year." , it is very important. Next year, Zhengke, Langeer will still have a chance...
Mrs. Wang also took up the conversation: "Sister Feng said that she is going back to Beijing on the tenth day of the lunar month and is going to her brother's place. Then she will definitely come here to visit her ancestors. It's the same with Lian'er. Maybe she wants to talk about Sister Qiao. "My son's marriage,..." "Humph, of course I'm welcome to Miss Feng, but Lian'er is a heartless man. I'm still suffering in Shaanxi, but he's living in Yangzhou and turning a blind eye. He's come back several times this year. ? Er Yatou has been back three or four times in the past six months. There are difficulties in the house. Er Yatou is not the head of the Feng family, so she still knows how to help. But what about Lian'er? I heard that he raised two Yangzhou Shouma spends no less than a few thousand taels of silver, he is really spoiled, and so is Brother Keng..."
As soon as Jia Mu said that Jia Lian was rich and rich, her face turned cold and her face was filled with anger.
To be precise, among the men in charge, the one who fares best is Jia Lian.
Haitong Yinzhuang Yangzhou has always been the perfect
This is the best place for business in the Haitong system.
Without him, Yangzhou was rich, with a large concentration of salt merchants, and the Haitong Silver Store brand was displayed there. Anyone could get away with it, as long as they were not too stupid.
After all, Jia Lian was from a common family, had seen some things in the world, had a good temperament, and could hang out with the businessmen in Yangzhou in eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling, so he was all good on the cards.
Yangzhou's business has always been good, and Feng Ziying still felt a little guilty after sleeping with Wang Xifeng, so she took good care of her.
Now Jia Lian's salary has reached 8,000 taels of silver per year. With some other extravagant red envelope income, it can easily exceed 10,000 taels of silver per year.
With such an income, how could Jia Lian be able to bear it?
Last year, I took in another concubine and kept an outhouse. My life was so comfortable that I couldn't think of the difficulties faced by a large family in Beijing.
Originally, Jia Lian always favored his second wife, doting on Jia Baoyu, and had a lot of opinions about Jia Mu. The eldest brother was always suppressed, and even Jia She was not welcome, let alone him?
Now that the Jia family is in dire straits, there is leakage from all sides, and they need money to support them, they just think about themselves.
Why not ask Baoyu? He is also the legitimate son. He is in his early twenties. He can't do anything but just mess around. Why?
My own money is not blown by the strong wind. Is it easy to accompany my clients to eat, drink, and gamble all year round?
There is a big family at home, with two sons and a daughter. Not counting Qiao, how can she have so much energy to take care of such nonsense?
Xing's side is the aunt's aunt, no matter how justified it is, so she can occasionally go back to the north to support her, and her second sister is still in Beijing, so that's pretty much it.
