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 chest.
Well, not to mention, Baochai has become more and more plump after being married for a year, and she really looks like a waiter lifting up a 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 fuller.
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.
Baoqin is like this. Sometimes he is stubborn and gives up. Although he is at home, Ying'er and Lingguan 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 eyes were full of appreciation, and she nodded, "The court is in trouble now, and 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 as much as I respect others, and I have to leave room for 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 in grain, there will be a certain percentage of profit 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, and he is also a native of Renxiang, the chief minister.
, we have a close relationship and can ask me for advice on every detail, don’t they really know what to do?”
Hearing Feng Ziying say 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 sternly: "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 that 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 one is beyond comparison with ordinary merchants. 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 the Mei family’s blindness, and it’s a waste of money to be a 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 full of joy.
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 disgusting 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 still
I am willing to give him a chance..."
Feng Zi's English 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, and Bao Qin was also intoxicated.
I think that at the beginning, I was very embarrassed and angry because of the Mei family's repentance of the marriage, and I was worried about gains and losses, so I had no choice but to follow my sister and marry into the Feng family as a concubine. But now it seems that it is a wonderful move.
She would rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife, let alone the concubine's son of Mei Zhiye. So what if Mei Zhiye is just a worker under her husband, and the husband has long since 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 not chosen the wrong person or the wrong path, and her whole life was 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 face was filled with emotion, and her cheeks were as red as a blush, 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 was so fierce that she attacked Baoqin and worked hard, but it was 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.
"Why, I'll have you for one day anyway. Why don't I tell my husband to take you in on a good day?" 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 slightly tilted her head, agreeing with Ying'er's statement.
Baoqin was just a concubine, and sometimes she was a little arrogant because of her favor, and she didn't pay much attention to what she said.
If words like today's words fall into the ears of outsiders, there may be some trouble, saying that Baoqin's elbows are turned outwards, 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 will be destroyed by an ant nest. If you keep doing this, your husband may not be able to tolerate it as time goes by.
"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 beaten 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 so.
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 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
It took 60,000 main troops to arrive at 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 preliminary 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 arrangements for logistical support. It was basically like that, but as long as there was no big trouble, Feng Tang didn't care.
During the war 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 war is about is logistical support. Feng Tang does not think that Niu Jizong is a peerless general. The Xuanfu Army is really much better than the Northwest Army. After leaving Xuanfu, in the land of Shandong, the strength of this army
Feng Tang also wanted to see how strong his combat power was.
If he was asked to suddenly lead his army directly into southern Zhili, he would be really scared, but if Shandong is dealt with first, it would be much safer.
In his letter, his son talked about the conditions of Daku, Yuguan and shipping. The price of food in the capital was rising continuously, and refugees from all over the country were also gathering in the capital. Logistics support was a big problem. However, shipping was smooth, although it was 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.
