Xinzi Volume Chapter 189 Introduction (please vote for me!)
But it was said that Wang Xifeng returned to Rongguo Mansion because her lover Feng Ziying had chosen the house for him, so preparations needed to start here.
First I went to Mrs. Wang to report, and then I went to my ancestor to explain the situation.
Naturally, I had to wipe away a burst of tears. Fortunately, Wang Xifeng also said that they were not far away and she would often come back to see her ancestors and his wife. Moreover, Sister Qiao was still in Rongguo Mansion, and she was eight or nine years old, but she was a mother.
I can't bear to part with it either.
Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang also knew that Jia Lian would be back at the end of the year and had secretly married a wife. Last year, Jia She and Xing reported it to Jia Mu. Even Jia Zheng and Wang knew about it, but they kept it secret.
Just Wang Xifeng.
Now Wang Xifeng is very wise and wants to move out. This will save everyone the embarrassment and avoid Jia Lian coming back with his wife and concubines at the end of the year. With Wang Xifeng's arrogant and arrogant temperament, there is no way she can tolerate Jia Lian's public demonstration, and it will inevitably cause trouble again.
The sky is filled with boiling water.
Now that Wang Xifeng has taken the initiative to leave, both Jia Mu and the Wang family are relieved. After all, Jia Lian is the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion. Since Wang Xifeng has reconciled, he cannot be counted as the Jia family. Of course, he will live temporarily for a year and a half.
It's okay, doesn't Aunt Xue often come over to stay for a while? But when Jia Lian comes back, Wang Xifeng has no choice but to avoid her embarrassing status.
"Sister Feng, where did you choose this house? Which house is it?" Mother Jia still cares about Wang Xifeng very much. Although she is not a member of the Jia family, after all these years, Wang Xifeng is the one who can please her the most. From the heart
There is also some reluctance to part with it, but no matter how reluctant it is, I can only let it go now.
"Behind the Huimin Pharmacy in Baodafang, at the entrance to the Dengdeng Alley, next to the Zhongcheng Army and Horse Department." Wang Xifeng also shed her tears, picked up a sweat towel and wiped it, and then said: "I heard that it turns out that
He is an official from Taipu Temple. He has retired and is going back to his hometown in Shanxi. He has been back for two or three years. This house is sitting there. Because the price is not suitable, it has not been sold. He is not short of this.
silver,……"
Baodafang is a bit far from Jinchengfang, which was what Feng Ziying originally considered.
If Wang Xifeng had to wait until three or four months until the fetal position was stable and she was pregnant before going south to Linqing to give birth, then she would still have to live here for two months. If she lived close by, the three aunts and six wives would inevitably come to visit, maybe
You will see the clues soon.
It was further apart, and it was not so convenient for women to go out. If it took an hour or two to take a carriage, they were too lazy to run. Two months passed by in a flash, and then they hurried south.
"The house in Baodafang is not cheap. How can I enter the yard?" Jia's mother didn't know anything about the market.
In terms of location and price, the houses surrounding the imperial city are the most expensive. The first ones are Jiqingfang and Anfufang in the west, Baodafang and Nanxunfang in the east, and then Japan in the north.
Zhongfang, Zhaohui Jinggongfang, and Rizhongfang can only be found in the south next to Shichahai. The side next to Jishuitan is a bit too remote, and then there are the Shiyongfang and Xiaoshiyongfang in the south.
Although prices vary within each city due to location and location, the location of Baodafang is indeed more superior than that of Jinchengfang where Rongning Street is located.
"After entering the third courtyard, there are several cross-courtyards and a back garden..." Wang Xifeng tried to make her tone calmer, "I don't dare to compete with each other in the house..."
Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang laughed, "Sister Feng, how many people did you bring out? Only about ten people, right? Lin Zhixiao and his wife are very grateful and remember their feelings. They asked Xiao Hong to follow you. That's okay.
, lest you only have Ping'er as a clever person to use, Xiaohong is not much worse than Ping'er, if you train him well, he will definitely be able to help you share a lot of things in the future."
"Yes, there are about ten people, one entering the courtyard, and a few crossing the courtyard, which is too big." Mrs. Wang couldn't help but smacked her lips, but there was a hidden worry in her heart.
It seems that my niece has not changed from her luxurious style in the mansion. For such a big courtyard, or in Baodafang, it doesn't cost two to thirty thousand taels of silver?
Even though she has some private property, once she goes out, no one will protect her from the wind and rain. More than ten people will have to rely on her to live, not for a year or two, but for a lifetime. If she doesn't save a little,
Doesn’t it take two or three years to waste everything? I’m afraid I have to remind her not to have a plan.
"It's a bit bigger, but I couldn't find the right one in my hurry. In addition, they were sincerely willing to sell it, so I gritted my teeth and bought it." Wang Xifeng looked at ease, "Something bigger is better, so I
I have always liked peace and quiet, so Ping'er and Xiaohong came with me, so I can't treat them badly. Wang Xin, Wang'er and the others are also raising their own children, so they live in a more relaxed environment and don't have to be crowded together all the time.
It's inevitable that there will be some stumblings. Now that I'm out, I don't have the energy to mediate for them. Just stay well..."
Wang Xifeng's words were vaguely suggestive, and both Jia Mu and Wang could understand.
Now that Li Wan and Tan Chun are in charge of the affairs of the inner court, they are struggling, and they have already begun to feel that they have been eating too much.
Although Jia Mu is not very clear about it, she is also aware of the current difficulties in the house. She turns a blind eye to the things that Yuanyang comes to reveal, and the old things in the house are also reduced, just to make things easier for now.
Wang, however, felt a little uneasy and wrote a letter to her husband in Jiangxi, but her husband never replied.
"Sister Feng, you have worked hard in the past few years. Now in the Rongguo Mansion, only your sister-in-law and Tan Yatou can barely take care of it. I also told your aunt to marry the daughter of the Niu family earlier. Listen.
He is a smart person, so he might as well take care of the house earlier. Your sister-in-law is a widow, and Tan Yatou will get married sooner or later. It is indeed not a problem for them to take care of the house. "
Mother Jia sighed, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally, and the days were getting more and more sad. They all said that children and grandchildren will be blessed by their own children and grandchildren, but the current scene was too painful, and she just wanted to close her eyes and forget about these nonsense.
It's just that my body and bones are so strong that I can't close my eyes even if I want to.
Wang Xifeng was surprised and glanced at her aunt: "Have you settled the matter with the Niu family?"
"It's settled." Mrs. Wang nodded, "I have already written to your uncle, and I think I will get a reply soon. Before your uncle left, he tended to choose one among several candidates. I also contacted him.
Baoyu said that he didn't have any objections. He also mentioned it to Brother Keng that day, and Brother Keng didn't object directly. He talked about several candidates at that time and felt that Brother Keng was more inclined to the second daughter of Prince Lian Zhong.
But we have all discussed that the second daughter of Prince Lian Zhong is the least popular in the family, and her aunt and aunt doesn’t like her cousin’s children very much..."
Wang Xifeng quickly asked: "Have you asked the empress in the palace about this situation?"
"I have also asked, and the empress also said that the eldest princess's legitimate daughter and the daughter of Prince Lian Zhong are both suitable, so we settled on the daughter of the Niu family..."
Wang Xifeng felt something was strange. If Feng Ziying recognized Prince Lian Zhong's daughter, logically Niu Jixun's daughter was not bad either. They were all children of the royal family. Prince Lian Zhong's daughter was not very favored, but Niu Jixun's daughter was the eldest daughter of the eldest princess and regarded her as the apple of her eye.
, it should be more suitable, why doesn’t Feng Ziying like it?
"Then the ancestor and aunt have already decided on a time?" Wang Xifeng deliberately blocked it again. At least she still has some affection for the Jia family. Although Baoyu is not a useful person, she has grown up watching her and respects her very much.
"It's settled. You were not in good health a few days ago, so we didn't tell you. The two parties have already exchanged the six rituals..." Mrs. Wang nodded.
Wang Xifeng could only sigh and exchanged the wedding gifts. That was the engagement. She just waited for the marriage to pass. If she wanted to regret the marriage at this time, it would be the same as Xue Baoqin who regretted the marriage. The Xue family had no power and power. Naturally,
They can only knock out their teeth and swallow the blood in their stomachs. The Niu family, the eldest princess, and the Jia family don't dare.
"What time has been set for the meeting?" Wang Xifeng asked again.
"The eighth day of September." Mrs. Wang nodded reservedly: "The Niu family is also very satisfied and knows Baoyu's talents. The eldest princess also specially recruited Baoyu. She saw her and liked her very much, so the dowry will naturally not be small...
"
Seeing that her aunt, who had never asked about the family's finances, actually mentioned that the dowry would not be small, Wang Xifeng sighed inwardly. It seemed that the Rongguo Mansion really couldn't survive this. Even her aunt was coveting the amount of money her daughter-in-law could bring with her dowry.
The amount of income will be enough to make up for the deficit of Rongguo Mansion.
"The eighth day of September?" Wang Xifeng nodded, "It's a good day. I'm afraid my family will have to start making preparations..."
"Well, I heard from the eldest princess that the Emperor is going to Tienwang Mountain for a siege on September 19th. It is said that this is the last time the Emperor will be sieging. Now the Emperor's health is not very good. After this year's siege, I am afraid he will not go there again.
..." A smile appeared on Mrs. Wang's face, "The eldest princess intends to ask Baoyu and his wife to follow her to Tienwang Mountain to accompany the emperor in the siege, so that he can show his face in front of the emperor, become familiar with each other, and have someone to take care of him in the future.
, with the relationship between the empress and the eldest princess, maybe Er Baoyu will be able to have a good fortune in the future..."
It is a royal practice to hunt for sieges in Tiewang Mountain, basically once every two years. This is also a hunting and entertainment method to show the bravery of Zhang's children. Basically, all the royal family members go, and in addition to the cabinet and six ministers on duty, the other six ministers are accompanying them.
Important officials and ministers would also participate in such an event, which was a means for the emperor and his ministers to relax and have a closer relationship.
In a sense, there are also rumors that this is also a way for the emperor to examine the performance of the princes. For example, the current emperor was confirmed as the crown prince and crown prince after the siege of Tiefang Mountain in the 39th year of Yuanxi. Three years later, the emperor became the emperor.
Zen abdicated, and the current emperor officially succeeded to the throne.
