Scroll of Xin Zi, Grass Tree under the Setting Sun, Section 28: Seeing the Palace Again
Although there were some unsatisfactory and annoying things, overall Feng Ziying was satisfied with her return to Beijing.
First, it is close to home. My mother, aunt, and two wives are all around me, and my daughter can be seen and entertained every day and witness her growth.
Secondly, of course, the sisters from Rongguo Mansion will have more opportunities to meet each other. No matter what their thoughts are, no matter what the results will be in the future, apart from Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xiangyun, Xiuyan and the others
Feng Ziying and others felt that seeing it was a good thing and pleasing to the eye.
This is not to mention the girls like Yuanyang, Ping'er, and Zicuckoo. Bickering and talking are good ways for people to relax after busy work.
There were dozens of posts sent by Ruixiang. In addition to classmates in the same year, most of them were from wealthy families who were also members of the martial arts family, such as the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises.
There are also merchant groups, not to mention the Shanshan-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce, but also chambers of commerce in places like Dongting, Longyou, Anfu, and Huizhou, as well as merchants in places like Yangzhou and Ningbo, who have already received the news early and sent the posts.
Regardless of whether Feng Ziying has time to meet them, sending the post is still a gesture.
According to the usual practice, after arriving in Beijing, you need to report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and receive your official certificate before taking office. However, considering that Feng Ziying has been away for so long and handed over the work of Yongping Mansion in advance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs still sent a notice to inform him.
You can take office in three days, which is considered to be a three-day holiday for Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying felt that Gao Panlong seemed to have finally become more humane after becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, giving these officials who were serving as officials in other places and whose families grew up in Beijing a rare opportunity to rest.
I received my official certificate from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and sent someone to Shuntian Prefecture to deliver the notice. This was the completion of the procedure, and I only had to wait three days to take up my post.
This has been the case in all dynasties. There must be a ceremony for new officials to take office. However, Feng Ziying is the Prime Minister of Shuntian, not the Governor, so the scale cannot be large. It is nothing more than a few subordinates and the subordinate officials of the sixth house.
We just come to meet and show respect for the new boss.
Feng Ziying has already experienced it once in Yongping Mansion, so she is not unfamiliar with this kind of situation. Regarding her future boss Wu Daonan, Feng Ziying also plans to take time to pay a private visit. This kind of private visit will help eliminate some barriers and alienation.
It can bring people closer to each other than meeting in a formal occasion.
Of course, in addition to meeting guests during these three days, he also had to visit several northern scholar leaders such as Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia, Cui Jingrong, and Sun Juxiang, as well as Guan Yingzhen, Chai Ke, and other people who were close to him.
Huguang scholar leader.
In the past, his social circle was limited to the circle of his classmates and his master. Since that day when he attended the party in Qi Mansion and as he now takes up the important position of Shuntian Prefecture, his social circle and connections have increased.
The circle has expanded, and bosses like Cui Jingrong and Sun Juxiang who will be closely related to their work in the future will have to contact them.
Among them are Han Xu, Wang Yongguang, Zhou Yongchun, and Bi Ziyan, who have begun to shine again. Although they were hidden for a time, their prestige is still there. They are third-rank officials when they come out, far from Feng Ziying.
Compared with this kind of newcomer, Feng Ziying feels that if she concentrates on accumulating, she may be able to reach that level in five to ten years.
Of course, this does not represent your official status, but your prestige and influence among the entire scholar community.
Jia Huan's arrival made Feng Ziying feel a lot happier.
To be honest, Feng Ziying is really optimistic about this concubine who is not popular in "Dream of Red Mansions".
Under the aura of Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", he, a concubine, seemed too wretched and aggrieved.
But in this life, Feng Ziying felt that in addition to being a little extreme in temperament and rebellious in adolescence, he was remarkable in other aspects. He studied hard, respected himself very much, could see the current situation clearly, and did things in an orderly manner.
With Tensile Strength, Feng Ziying felt that under his guidance and support, it would be difficult for him to succeed.
Jia Huanyan briefly and comprehensively talked about the Rongguo Mansion's intention to invite the other party to a banquet. Jia She and Jia Zheng and several junior Jia family members will accompany him. Moreover, this is also because Jia Zheng is about to go south to Jiangxi, which shows his respect for Feng Ziying.
Already.
Of course, Feng Ziying had no reason not to agree, and she readily agreed on a time, and then began to ask about the situation in the academy.
With the departure of Zhou Yongchun and Bi Ziyan, the new Shanchang Qi Shijiao is a very famous scholar in Shandong. However, because he has lived in seclusion in Shandong for a long time, Feng Ziying has not met him, so he needs to be included in the visit list.
In addition, Wang Zhicai, the director of the academy, is an outstanding figure among Shaanxi scholars, and Feng Ziying has never seen him.
This also shows that the weaknesses of being too young and having too little qualifications are beginning to show. Although Feng Ziying has heard of these long-established scholars, she has almost never interacted with them, or even met them in person.
The situation in the academy has not changed much. The arrival of Qi Shijiao and Wang Zhicai basically continued the previous rules. However, Qi Shijiao obviously pays more attention to the classics and meanings than Zhou Yongchun and Bi Ziyan. He himself is a master of classics and meanings, and
He practices hard and teaches students in person, and has won unanimous welcome from the students.
However, Wang Zhicai was rigorous and conscientious in his work and had extremely strict requirements on study discipline. Therefore, the academic style of the academy, which had been somewhat lax in the past two years, was completely overhauled.
"It can be said that Mr. Qi Shijiao and Xinyi (Wang Zhicai) are both role models for scholars. You are lucky enough to be taught by their words and deeds. It is extremely rare. You must cherish this opportunity..."
Feng Ziying encouraged Jia Huan and said that she would take time to visit the two of them, and would also ask them to be strict with Jia Huan.
Jia Huan also knew that Feng Ziying must be very busy when he came back. You can tell by looking at the thick stack of greeting notes on the desk, so he didn't waste much time. However, he was still worried about his third sister. If he couldn't get an answer, he would always
Can't feel at ease.
"Brother Feng, logically there are some things that I shouldn't ask, but I feel really uncomfortable holding them in my heart, and I don't want to express them. ..."
Feng Ziying was surprised, "Brother Huan, although you and I are not called teachers and students, I have always taught you as my disciple. Is there anything we can't be honest with each other?"
Jia Huan was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Brother Feng, my third sister is very affectionate towards you. I want to know what you think of my third sister?"
This question immediately blocked Feng Ziying.
In fact, Jia Huan had implicitly raised this question before, but Feng Ziying did not answer it directly because he did not know how to answer it.
If he said he didn't have any good feelings for Tanchun, that would be a lie. He was unwilling to say anything against his will, but if he said he had feelings for her, what should he do if he had feelings for her?
It was impossible to get a wife, and I couldn't talk about taking a concubine.
Tanchun is no better than Yingchun. Yingchun has a gentle and honest temperament and doesn't have too many demands. She won't refuse a concubine status. But for Tanchun, who is extremely sensitive about identity, there are also the good-looking Jia Zheng and his wife among them, which is not good.
Processed.
Feng Ziying knew very well that Tanchun, who had always been strong and intelligent, had always been very sensitive and taboo about her origins. The dissatisfaction of her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and her lowliness in front of the Wang family made her feel even more humiliated in the Rongguo Mansion, so she never mentioned it.
Tanchun would definitely not be able to accept it if she wanted to continue living the same life as her biological mother.
This became a dilemma. It was impossible to be a wife or even a concubine. Being a concubine would definitely stimulate Tanchun's sensitive heart. No matter which room she was a concubine in, Tanchun would find it difficult to accept it, even if Baochai
I have a good relationship with Daiyu and him.
"Brother Huan, do you want me to take your third sister as my concubine?" Feng Ziying knew that since Jia Huan came to mention this matter again today, she might have gotten Tanchun's instruction, or at least acquiesced, and would not answer directly.
, I'm afraid it will really break Tanchun's heart.
Jia Huan was startled for a moment, then nodded: "I would rather the third sister be a concubine to Brother Feng than marry one of those mediocre people. Moreover, I know the character of the third sister very well. She is a person who sticks to her will and never goes against her will."
A woman with a strange heart, if she has feelings for someone, she will never change again. This situation is also torture for the third sister, so I hope that the third sister can have a good ending, and I hope that she can be happy for the rest of her life...
…”
"But have you considered the situation of your third sister? If she comes into my house as a concubine, your sister Bao and sister Lin are both regular wives. They usually treat each other as sisters and have a very harmonious relationship, but she is a concubine. How can she, who has always been strong, do it?"
Can you accept it? Can your parents accept such a situation?"
Feng Ziying said very solemnly, "Brother Huan, I understand your feelings. I also like the third sister very much, but the more you like her, the more thoughtful you should be for her instead of acting on impulse."
Jia Huan felt hot in her heart. This was the first time that Feng Ziying admitted that she liked the third sister. Just taking these words back could make the third sister feel better for a long time. It was not in vain for her to come to the palace today to ask for advice.
"But Brother Feng, I believe you have a way to solve it. Needless to say, the master and his wife will obey your words. Even if they feel there is something wrong, you can definitely convince them to accept it. As for the third sister, you must have a way too.
Come and solve it, you can break the precedents of the Feng family's second-bedroom house and the three-bedroom house, and then my third sister's matter will not be a problem, right?"
Feng Ziying looked at Jia Huan carefully. This guy actually thought that he was omnipotent. How could this be compared?
Although there is no precedent for a house with three bedrooms and a living room, it is not something special. As for the restoration of the title, although it is a bit against the rules, after all, some reasons can be found to explain it. Even if it is a bit far-fetched, but I
He has made such great achievements, but this can be offset, right?
