Chapter 13 of Gui Zi Scroll: Face each other calmly, climb high and look far ahead
Feng Ziying felt relieved when she heard that Jia Lian took the initiative to mention Ping'er and Wang Xifeng's cement business.
This shows that Jia Lian already knew that Wang Xifeng had given Ping'er to him, and also knew that Wang Xifeng had started a cement business, and that it was impossible to make a living in the cement business without his own efforts.
Feng Ziying also observed the changes in Jia Lian's expression calmly. It could be seen that Jia Lian frowned slightly, but there was not much displeasure or disgust, just some surprise and unspeakable melancholy.
This should be a reasonable state of mind. It is a bit sad and unwilling, but the degree is not that strong. Maybe he has already been mentally prepared. After all, after the divorce, if Wang Xifeng wants to survive, he will naturally seek survival. way.
It seems to be a normal operation to give Ping'er to himself and ask for his help to make a living in cement. As for the personal relationship between himself and Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian probably hasn't thought about that aspect yet, or is unwilling to go into that aspect. Think about it.
As Ping'er said, Yuanyang was able to figure out the personal relationship between himself and Wang Xifeng by relying on daily observation. It is not necessarily that Jia Lian could not detect it.
Some people are often the most sensitive to things like this. They can feel it intuitively without any evidence. It just depends on whether others are willing to cover their ears or turn a blind eye.
Now that Jia Lian had opened the door, Feng Ziying felt relieved and could talk to her calmly, "Well, the second sister-in-law came to see me and said that Wang Xin wanted to come to Wang's group of people to follow her. She was afraid that her little money would be wasted, so she wanted to They needed to find a safe livelihood, and Lin Zhixiao and his wife also wanted to find a job after they came out, so the second sister-in-law decided to make a living in cement..."
Jia Lian nodded slightly, "Sister Feng has a good eye, and she immediately spotted this business. The demand in the south is very high. At present, 70% of the goods transported from Yuguan to the south are cement. Yangzhou, Nanjing, Songjiang , the supply exceeds demand in Ningbo, but they are controlled by Shanxi businessmen, and outsiders cannot get involved."
"Selling this kind of more profitable business over there, the second sister-in-law can't get involved. She has an agreement with Shanshan merchants and can only ship goods in Shuntian Prefecture and Hejian Prefecture, but three to five years is enough. , and there is no production capacity for takeout." Feng Ziying explained.
This was also expected by Jia Lian. Without the nod of Shanshan businessmen, Wang Xifeng would not be able to make a living. Of course, Feng Ziying must have helped a lot here, otherwise where would it be Wang Xifeng's turn to pick up such fallen peaches?
"This is enough for Sister Feng to make a lot of money. It's time to be content." Jia Lian is not envious either. He is a contented character and doesn't have much ambition. To start this cement business, he has to travel around. He likes it. He couldn't stand the hard work of living a romantic life with his wife and children on the hot bed.
"I can only help to this point. Once I leave, it will depend on the efforts of my second sister-in-law and Lin Zhixiao." Feng Ziying smiled, "If Baoyu and the others can come out, they can also help. …”
"That's impossible. Baoyu will only cause trouble if he goes there, and it's impossible for Baoyu to do such a thing." Jia Lian laughed, "If Baoyu can come out, Ziying will find a quiet place for him so that he can read and write in peace.
It’s good.”
Jia Lian knew Baoyu very well, and Feng Ziying just said it casually. Of course he knew that Baoyu couldn't do this. Even if he could do it, he couldn't let him go and let him spy on her and Wang Xifeng's affair.
How to get it?
This conversation lasted for more than an hour. Feng Ziying stayed with Jia Lian for dinner again, and then Jia Lian took his leave.
Feng Ziying also asked Jia Lian where he lived, and Jia Lian also said that he bought a house in the capital city, in Jiqingfang. It was not big, but it was just a temporary residence. He bought it for two thousand taels of silver.
Feng Ziying didn't stay either. After all, Jia Lian's status was still a bit sensitive now. Although Long Jinwei would not trouble him on such matters, it was better to have less trouble than to have more trouble. Jia Lian was really caught outside, so he could help him.
If you hold it in your own house, it will be difficult to handle.
After Jia Lian left, Ping'er hurriedly came in.
Seeing the red and swollen circles under Ping'er's eyes, Feng Ziying was startled. He didn't believe that Ping'er still had any unresolved feelings for Jia Lian, but why was he so sentimental?
"What's the matter, Ping'er?" Feng Ziying motioned to the other party to come over. Ping'er came over coyly. Feng Ziying hooked her waist and sat down on Feng Ziying's lap. "Could it be that Brother Lian said something ruthless?"
If I were to be righteous, would it hurt you?"
"That's not true. Second Master Lian is not that kind of person." Ping'er said with a hint of loneliness: "It's just that when Second Master Lian asked about Second Mistress, my servant, his tone was like that of an outsider. He was talking about Sister Qiao'er.
The care is no different from that of ordinary people. The slave thought that Second Master Lian wanted to ask more about Second Mistress's current life. Who would have thought that Second Master Lian only asked about the cement business and didn't even bother to ask anything else. This made the slave a little sad.
, How come you have become like a passerby in just a short time?"
Feng Ziying also didn't expect Jia Lian to behave like this around Ping'er. She pondered for a moment and said: "Second brother Lian now has another family. He has one wife and three concubines, and two children. The first wife is also pregnant. Naturally, there can't be more.
I've asked about Sister Feng's affairs. As for Sister Qiao, well, I can't blame him. If you were surrounded by children, and your wives and concubines were asking about your own children all day long, how much attention would you have to pay attention to the early stage?
What about the daughter he gave birth to? What's more, knowing that Sister Qiao's son is being taken care of and that Sister Feng is still around, of course he won't be too concerned about it. However, it is still his flesh and blood. In the future, when Sister Qiao's son grows up, Lian Er
Brother still has to take care of it."
Ping'er calmed down a little, but then he felt Feng Ziying's palm digging into the bottom of his clothes again, twisted his head, blushed and whispered: "Master, you'd better take it easy, your body is important, slave's body
Sooner or later, it will all belong to me. These two days have been a good day for Miss Lin, Miss Miaoyu and Miss Xiuyan. I also need to keep some energy. I have to go to Miss Miaoyu's place to rest tonight. I don't know why I am like this.
Good spirit, isn’t it enough for Second Grandma Bao in the afternoon?”
Feng Ziying's hands froze slightly, but her mouth was attached to Ping'er's cheek and ear, "Hey, your little hooves have learned to listen to the bed. Have you heard about the good things Baochai and I do?"
Ping'er also had a fever on his cheeks, "Master, please don't falsely accuse me. If Mistress Bao hears it, I will not have a good life. I just went to find Aunt Qin at noon. I didn't expect Aunt Qin. She thought she was at Mistress Bao's place."
By the way, I saw Xiang Ling coming out of the yard with her legs crossed. She didn't do anything good at first glance. She stopped her and asked, but she was busy changing her clothes. Only then did the slave understand that I was really the one who was with Miss Lin last night.
there……"
At this point, Ping'er couldn't help but roll his eyes. This was Lin Daiyu's bridal night, but the next day she was coming to marry Jian Bao's second wife. This was known to people, and it was...?
Feng Ziying was startled. She really thought that this was something. If it was spread by outsiders, Daiyu's face would not look good. She quickly said: "Such words must not be spread outside. Sister Lin is weak and so is I."
I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it the first night..."
"Then I shouldn't have come to see Second Grandma Bao. No, there are Zijuan and Xueyan. No matter how bad it is, it's better to stay here with the slave girl and Yuanyang. It's better than going to the second room of the long house..." Ping'er said charmingly.
Taking a look at Feng Ziying, this man is extremely shrewd in big things, but he doesn't care about small things like the back house, and he doesn't think about it. Isn't this giving up the handle of the third house to the second house?
Miss Bao is generous and may not use these tricks, and Xiang Ling is also an honest person, but if it were people like Aunt Qin and Siqi, I am afraid that she would really have to hold on to the treasure in her hands.
"Fortunately, Grandma Bao didn't bother with this at the time. Xiangling is also an honest person. However, I have to tell Xiangling not to let people like Aunt Qin and Ying'er know about it. That would be a bit more...
"Ping'er originally wanted to say that it was a bit more risky, but he felt it was inappropriate and could only keep silent.
"Hey, I am missing someone as meticulous and considerate as you. Yuanyang is too involved in things to take care of. Jin Chuan'er is not thinking about these things. Qingwen is a hot-tempered person, and Si Qi is not the type of person he is.
, After all the calculations, I still need you, so if Sister Feng pointed you to me to follow me to Shaanxi, it would not be in vain for me to make a living with her by delivering cement..."
Ping'er pouted but disagreed: "I must not say that. Grandma has given birth to a son for me. The cement business is certainly valuable, but it will be rare for Huzi to enjoy the shadow of the Feng family in the future. That grandma
It is reasonable to think more about Huzi. I must not think that the second mistress is just greedy..."
Feng Ziying laughed and took her hand out of Ping'er's body, "I didn't say that, but if Sister Feng thinks so, it also shows that she has no confidence in her heart."
The two of them got tired of sitting on the chair for a while, until Ping'er's hair and temples were messed up, and her dimples were burning. Then they hurriedly picked up the sweat towel and slipped quietly with their feet. Feng Ziying really didn't dare to sit on Ping'er.
Being careless, if the gun went off, not to mention feeling a little aggrieved, there are new fields that need to be cultivated tonight, and they will be prosperous tomorrow, wouldn't it delay the real thing?
However, Jia Lian's arrival today did bring a lot of good news to Feng Ziying. Chen Jixian's ambitions were stirring, Jia Jing was undoubtedly guilty, and the Jiangnan gentry and merchants were not optimistic about Nanjing. This made him feel more confident.
When I go to Shaanxi, I dare to let go and work hard. I must work hard to cultivate the mountains and Shaanxi into my base base, not only the border towns, but also run the local area well.
This opportunity for the governor is so rare. If he hadn't encountered such an opportunity, he would never have been able to get his turn.
