Renzi Volume Chapter 291: Looking inside and outside, still and thoughtful
Feng Ziying felt that she had no choice but to leave. If she really showed up, it would be too embarrassing and it would easily hurt the two girls' self-esteem. Miaoyu was fine, but he still respected and liked Xiuyan.
He just wanted to leave but was a little reluctant to leave. He really wanted to hear Xiuyan's answer.
Although Xiuyan and Xiuyan had similar topics before, Xiuyan also had various concerns, and due to the influence of various external factors, the two of them never broke through the thin layer of gauze, but now Miaoyu
Putting it forward is a perfect opportunity. Let’s see how Xiuyan responds.
Although Xiuyan's expression could not be seen, Miaoyu's too straightforward words made her, how should the innocent Xiaojiabiyu respond?
Denying it outright seems a bit hypocritical and does not mean what you mean. Moreover, it is in front of your best friend, who also has good intentions.
You responded shyly and timidly. What do your best friends think?
Do you feel that you have already planned or even have other ideas?
This is also an unspeakable test for Xiuyan. All she can do is lower her head and remain silent, avoiding it by drinking tea.
Fortunately, although Miaoyu was stupid, she still had a little bit of worldliness. Knowing that her best friend was shy, she nodded to herself: "Anyway, if I really want to marry into the Feng family, I definitely hope that you will come with me, Xiuyan.
Without you, I don’t even know how to live in the Feng family..."
"Sister, don't say that, Miss Lin..." Xiuyan said quickly.
"Daiyu is Daiyu. You also know that the relationship between me and her will never be like the relationship between you and me. Maybe it is the blood relationship between me and her. For other things, maybe I am not as good as exploring in her mind.
Sisters like Chun and Xiangyun."
Miaoyu's sharp words made Xiuyan a little shocked. Although the relationship between Miaoyu and Daiyu was superficial and there was no hatred between them, to be honest, there was really no sense of closeness. It was just this.
It's a bit heartbreaking to say it like this.
But Xiuyan also knows that Miaoyu is like this. Sometimes a sudden sentence can shock everyone, or make everyone stand in silence.
"Xiuyan, don't be nervous. Although we are not very close to each other, we are not at odds with each other or just like strangers. So, let's just be on our own terms. She has her friends, and I have you.
Miaoyu said calmly: "So I want you to marry into the Feng family too, okay?"
Xiuyan hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "Sister, this is not something you or I can decide. There are some obstacles between Miss Lin and Uncle Feng. Maybe Miss Lin would prefer the third girl..."
Miaoyu's face changed slightly, and she paused, "Then I'll go find him and ask him to take you as my concubine. I don't believe that he can accept you as my concubine because of your kindness and kindness!"
Xiuyan was so ashamed that her voice trembled: "I can't do it, I can't do it! If my sister wants to do this, I won't be able to obey even if she is beaten to death!"
Miaoyu was confused, "What's going on?"
Xiuyan didn't know how to answer for a while, but if Miaoyu asked Feng Ziying to raise it, in Xiuyan's view, if Lin Daiyu knew about it, she was afraid that the relationship between her and Miaoyu would immediately worsen, and it would be harmful to herself.
She was afraid that she would have to look at her differently, but she also felt a little regretful in her heart. If Feng Ziying really liked her, couldn't he take the initiative to accept her?
"Sister, it's too complicated. I can't explain it clearly at the moment. If you are really doing good for me, don't go and tell Uncle Feng."
Xiuyan couldn't explain much, and Miaoyu might not be able to understand it if he explained it in a superficial way. If he explained it in detail, he was afraid that Miaoyu would misunderstand, so the best way was to wait.
Will there be any results just by waiting like this?
What if Uncle Feng really didn't pay attention to his feelings, and the previous two conversations seemed a bit unclear, what if Uncle Feng really thought that he was unwilling?
It would be best if there was someone among them who could convey the message, but this person cannot be Miaoyu.
Miaoyu was a little confused. She could feel that her best friend was definitely willing to Feng Ziying, but why was she unwilling to fight for such an opportunity for her? Could it be that Feng Ziying could still be unwilling, which was even more impossible.
But seeing that Xiuyan was so anxious that her eye circles were a little red, Miaoyu also knew that her best friend was not joking, but was really anxious, so she could only agree to it first and find another opportunity to ask what happened.
When Feng Ziying heard this, she couldn't understand, so she quickly and quietly left, but a big stone fell in her heart.
Miaoyu's side was fine, but he understood Xiuyan's intentions. It would be a humiliation for Xiuyan if he really asked Miaoyu to ask for a concubine status for Xiuyan. He was so generous.
Go talk to Xingzhong and his wife, be honest and aboveboard, are you afraid that Xingzhong won't be overjoyed?
When Feng Ziying returned to her house, Daiyu had not yet left.
It is inevitably poetic again.
The spring was bright and beautiful, but unfortunately the Feng Mansion's house was too small and there wasn't much scenery for the two of them to enjoy, so they could only talk in the house.
This also aggravated Feng Ziying's desire to renovate Rongning Second Mansion and Grand View Garden as soon as possible.
If the east back wall of Rongguo Mansion and the west back wall of Ningguo Mansion are both opened, then the flower burial mound where Daiyu's flowers are buried will be right next to Ningxixuan behind Ningguo Mansion. From the stone path in front of Congcui'an, you can go directly to
To the east are the backyard of Ningguo Mansion, Tianxiang Pavilion, Dou Feng Pavilion, and Dengxian Pavilion. In front of it are Huifang Garden and Conglv Hall. It can be said that the essence of the backyard of Ningguo Mansion is close to the east of the Grand View Garden.
If the two sides are connected, this pond can also be added, which can just expand the slightly narrow water area in the Grand View Garden, making the backyard of the entire second house more vast and spectacular.
Reminiscent of her interest, Feng Ziying took out the floor plan of Rong Ning's second house, carefully stitched it together and compared it, and felt that there was indeed much to be done.
It's just that the cost of renovation and construction will definitely not be small. Although it cannot be as exaggerated as the Rongguo Mansion that spent three or four hundred thousand taels to build the Grand View Garden, Feng Ziying made a rough estimate. If it were to be more refined, it would only cost eighty thousand taels.
Even two pieces of silver may not be enough to defeat it.
But when I think about it, if Daiyu gets married, these three families will be together and add more people in the future.
I can move in when I choose.
Of course, it is definitely not possible to move now. The North-South War concerns the attention of both the government and the opposition. If I want to engage in this now, I will inevitably be criticized by others, but I can start planning in advance.
**********
Qi Yongtai stood up, stretched his muscles, and glanced at Qiao Yingjia and Han Xu, "Rujun, Yu Chen, why are you suddenly talking about Ziying again?"
"Prime Minister Ye and Prime Minister Fang have summoned Li Banghua frequently in the past few days. I heard that they intend to recommend him to be the governor of Shuntian?" Qiao Yingjia's face was a little gloomy, and Han Xu's face next to him was not good either.
Qi Yongtai's body sluggished slightly, but his expression remained unchanged: "Li Banghua has been serving as the inspector of the Shaanxi Punishment and Investigation Department for three years. He has excellent academic performance and excellent literary talent. It is natural and logical to transfer to Shuntian Prefecture Yin.
,…”
Qiao Yingjia sneered, "Really? Brother Chengfeng, I heard that Li Banghua's performance during his tenure in Shaanxi was mediocre. The reason why he did well in examinations was just because Gao Panlong looked at him differently. Shaanxi is currently full of thieves, and he is afraid that he will not be able to sit down."
You're on pins and needles in that position and want to run away, right?"
Qi Yongtai couldn't help but frown, "Ru Jun, be careful what you say. Even if you run away, the imperial court has its own motives in appointing and removing people. Shuntian Mansion cannot be without a governor for a long time. I know what you mean. Although Ziying is doing a good job as an agent of the government now,
But after all, he is too young, and he has only been serving as the Prime Minister for one year. Is it possible that he can be promoted to the Prime Minister again? Not to mention that Jin Qing Zhonghan and others cannot accept it, but I also think it is a bit out of line."
"Wu Daonan has been the governor for several years, and he has made a mess. I don't think it would be as smooth as the past few months without the governor. If I get Li Banghua, maybe he will become the second Wu Daonan?"
Qiao Yingjia refused to give up. He felt that Qi Yongtai was not as strong and powerful as he was when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He felt that Qi Yongtai was not as strong as he was when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Many times, he was stuck in the so-called "taking into account the overall situation", which made him feel constrained and even bullied by others.
He still had to tolerate it, which made him a little intolerable.
Qi Yongtai sighed lightly.
He didn't quite agree with the arrangement of Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe. It wasn't that he was worried about leaving the position of Shuntian Prefecture to Feng Ziying. The key was that Li Banghua's performance in Shaanxi was mediocre. Now that Shaanxi thieves were in chaos, he didn't think about how to help those who stayed in the northwest.
The army suppressed the rebellion, but wanted to escape back to the court, which made him a little tired.
But he also knew that Li Banghua was the backbone of the literati in Jiangyou. Ye Xianggao admired him very much, and he had a good relationship with Gao Panlong, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Therefore, his return has basically been finalized, but whether he will serve as the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture has not yet been decided.
It's completely settled, but I already have this intention.
Li Banghua is also a man who is good at literature and short on practical matters. Although taking up the position of Shuntian Prefecture Yin is not as ridiculous as Wu Daonan, Qi Yongtai is also not optimistic about it, but this person is not like Wu Daonan who just does it since he is not good.
If you let go, if you insist on holding on to power, you will inevitably have a dispute with Feng Ziying, and I'm afraid neither party will be able to reconcile.
Qi Yongtai is already thinking about where Feng Ziying will be arranged if Li Banghua becomes the governor of Shuntian.
Feng Ziying did a good job cooperating with Sun Chengzong in organizing military affairs. Sun Chengzong specially praised Feng Ziying to Qi Yongtai and Zhang Huaichang, thinking that Feng Ziying had the style of his father and would be of great use.
"Ru Jun, you have to think about it. Although Ziying has performed well in Shuntian Prefecture for more than a year and needs experience, it is obviously unrealistic for him to take over as Shuntian Prefecture Chancellor now. Moreover, he recruits private individuals wantonly.
The imperial censor has criticized him a lot, how long can you suppress him?" Qi Yongtai looked at Qiao Yingjia and said.
