Chapter 16 of Gui Zi Volume: Ziying’s conclusion, Xiuyan’s question
Just when He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji were gearing up to start a big fight, and the court's attention was almost entirely focused on the Shandong war situation, Feng Ziying was still leisurely enjoying the beautiful life of a newlywed.
After sending Jia Lian away and teasing Ping'er, Feng Ziying felt much better.
Although the acquisition of the second house in Rongning was obtained through the formal sale process after confiscation by the court, it even went through some twists and turns before. It was first acquired by Shou Wang Zhangchi, and later because Shou Wang Zhangchi was willing to give up the deposit and return the goods due to various reasons. It forced the court to sell it again, and Feng Ziying bought it. However, Feng Ziying still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she always felt a bit like a magpie's nest being taken over by a dove.
In particular, he is thinking about collecting all the red and colorful flowers and putting them all in the Grand View Garden. Maybe outsiders will not think it is a big deal, and even the Jia family will think it is a good thing. But for Feng Ziying, Jia Lian’s Expressing his attitude still made him feel at ease.
After all, Jia Lian is the future helmsman of Rongguo Mansion, and his attitude represents the attitude of the entire Jia family.
This also means that the entire Jia family has accepted this situation, and even feels that this should be the best situation under the current situation.
When going to Shaanxi, Sanjie You and Qingwen will accompany the eldest daughter, Baoqin will be the master and servant of the second bedroom, and Xiuyan will be the master and servant of the third bedroom. Feng Ziying also feels that it is almost the same. Although there is no eldest wife following him, Baoqin is a concubine. , Sanjie You and Xiuyan are concubines, which makes sense, but if Baochai or Daiyu really want to go with them, it would not be in line with the rules of this era for wives to stay at home and serve their parents-in-law.
Daiyu also told Feng Ziying that Miaoyu could go to Shaanxi with her, but Feng Ziying politely declined. Miaoyu's temper and arrogance, combined with Baoqin's temperament, would definitely make the family uneasy.
Even if Qingwen followed, Feng Ziying would have to worry about getting into trouble with Baoqin, not to mention Miaoyu, who had an even weirder temper.
Xing Xiuyan would be great to follow. He knows the general situation and takes into account the overall situation. He also has a gentle and calm personality. I believe he can get along well with Baoqin.
While he was thinking about it, Xiuyan came to ask for a meeting, which surprised Feng Ziying.
At this time, if it is not impossible to meet, but with Xiuyan's knowledge and sense, how can he not understand that he must rest in Miaoyu's room tonight, and it will be her turn to come to her room tomorrow, and she will come to see him now , do you still want to be so arrogant that you can't rest in her room now?
It should not be so, given her character and her relationship with Miaoyu, she would not be so presumptuous.
But at this time, what can't you wait for to see yourself?
Wanting to think about it, Feng Ziying did not hesitate and let Xiuyan in.
Seeing Xiuyan's rosy cheeks, which were delicate and a bit shy, but without losing her generous and elegant temperament, Feng Ziying nodded secretly, choosing her to be his concubine was the right choice, far better than Miaoyu.媵.
Maybe he is not as shrewd and capable as Xue Baoqin, but he is definitely much better than Baoqin in terms of understanding the overall situation and dealing with the world. This is exactly what his wife needs most.
"I have met your husband." Xiuyan bowed slightly. She was wearing a scarlet skirt, a beaded hairpin inserted at an angle, and her temples were decorated with ink. Along with her long and slender body, she was undulating and swaying. She looked like a stunning beauty.
This was the first time that Feng Ziying looked at her concubine from a unique visual angle. To be honest, this was a bit fresh.
In the past, whether it was Eryou or Yingchun, he was familiar with these concubines before entering the Feng family. At least they had held hands, hugged and even kissed them. But now Xing Xiuyan is already his eight hundred concubines, but
She was still a bit unfamiliar, but he could feel from the joy and smile in her eyes that she was very satisfied and happy to be his concubine.
This of course also made him very happy. Who wouldn't want a girl who is willing and even happy to be his concubine? Using force has never been Feng Ziying's style.
"Why should my sister be so polite? We are all part of the same family. Being so polite makes my husband a little uncomfortable." Feng Ziying said cheerfully: "Sister came to see me at this time. Something must have happened...
"
Xiuyan blushed and felt a little shy. She hesitated to speak, which made Feng Ziying more and more curious. Why are you embarrassed to have come to your door?
Feng Ziying didn't push her. With Xiuyan's knowledgeable and understanding temperament, she would definitely have sufficient reasons to come to see him.
After hesitating for a long time, Xiuyan finally mustered up the courage to explain his purpose.
After listening to Xiuyan's introduction, Feng Ziying was stunned. He really didn't know that this woman Miaoyu didn't even know anything about Zhou Gong's etiquette. He almost burst out laughing when he heard that. Fortunately, Xiuyan gave her some advice.
After a while, it is impossible for a yellow-flowered woman to say these things too openly. It sounds like Miaoyu still seems to understand, so Xiuyan reminds herself so recklessly that she must really
If you don't know the inside story here, you might really think that Miaoyu is pretending to be crazy and unwilling to marry her, but if you don't pay attention, it will lead to an unhappy marriage.
Feng Ziying coughed a few times and then asked: "Miaoyu has been separated from her mother since she was a child and has been following her teacher. It's possible that she really doesn't understand, so that's fine. But why don't Daiyu and Zijuan teach them?"
?”
Although Daiyu was shy last night, when Feng Ziying jumped on horseback and went into battle with spears, Daiyu was still very cooperative. Although her body was a little thin, she was still in harmony with water. It was obviously taught by someone.
A big maid like Zijuan must be able to understand the knowledge of husband and wife. With her careful mind, how could she not consider passing it on to Miaoyu?
Xiuyan shook her head, her brows still very shy, "I don't quite understand this concubine. Maybe my sister has been negligent. Zijuan, or maybe she thinks that I am familiar with sister Miaoyu, so I will give her to sister Miaoyu...
…”
Xiuyan didn't say anything anymore. What the professor said was really difficult to express.
Feng Ziying couldn't help but laugh, but she was still very happy that Xiu Yan was worried about her. At least she avoided any accident when she rested in the Miaoyu House tonight, which would have been really embarrassing or even embarrassing.
"I understand, thank you sister for reminding me, but Miaoyu has a weird temperament, I have to rest in her room tonight, Daiyu is not feeling well, and Zijuan and Miaoyu are not that close, so this matter has to be settled
If it falls on my sister, I might as well say some things more clearly. Miaoyu is a few years older than you. If you click a little bit, she might understand."
Feng Ziying stood up and walked around leisurely, "I may go to Shaanxi after a while. Daiyu must have told you, is my sister mentally prepared?"
Xiuyan looked solemn and nodded solemnly: "I know this and am prepared."
"That's good. I'm not going to enjoy the mountains and rivers this time, but to endure hardships and hardships. You will inevitably follow me. To be honest, I don't want you to follow me. But if I take office as the governor, I will not be able to avoid it.
Without a wife or concubine, it would be difficult for the court to believe that I was going to work hard, and the outside world would probably think that I was just wandering around doing things to get through my qualifications, and maybe I would be back in three to five months.
, so I have to establish an image, so I will take you on the road together to avoid being false."
Feng Ziying did not shy away from her thoughts, "In addition, I went to Shaanxi. The military and civil affairs of a province will inevitably be involved. Moreover, Shaanxi's situation is special and involves the Mongolians on three sides, four towns and even outside the border wall. It can be said that in many aspects,
Although I also have some staff and subordinates, but some things, um, or involve local officials, may also need to deal with their relatives, so even if it is the back house, I also need one or two people who can help me...
…”
Xiuyan's eyes lit up and her breasts rose slightly. She was obviously a little upset by the sudden news, but she quickly calmed down and said, "As Sister Baoqin is here, I will take care of myself..."
Before Xiuyan could finish speaking, Feng Ziying waved her hand to stop: "Baoqin has something to do with Baoqin. It is unusual for a province to be a governor. Moreover, the situation in Shaanxi is difficult now. After a severe drought, diseases are widespread and rebellions are spreading.
I am very unfamiliar with Shaanxi and don’t have much time to get familiar with it, so I need to open up the situation as soon as possible. Both Baoqin and you have to help me deal with some things, and even take the initiative to do some things. Baoqin is smart in doing things, and in some aspects
You are not as good as her, but you also have your advantages. In terms of how you behave, she is not as good as you. You must use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses..."
This was the first time that Xiuyan heard Feng Ziying evaluate herself like this, and also compared herself with Baoqin. She was even more excited, especially when she thought about going to Shaanxi as Feng Ziying said, as a family member of the governor, in the absence of his wife.
, I may have to shoulder the responsibilities as the governor's family members with Xue Baoqin, and may also have to deal with the wives and concubines of other officials in Shaanxi Province. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for myself.
Xiuyan knew that she was from a small family and did not understand the power and responsibilities of an official family. In this regard, she was not even as good as Xue Baoqin, who was born in an imperial business, let alone Shen Yixiu and Lin Daiyu, who were from an official family.
But after all, I have stayed in Rongguo Mansion for a few years, and I have been influenced by my ears and eyes, and I have a rough idea of the situation in the back houses of some officials. The only regret is that Rongguo Mansion is just a place for idle military officers, not officials in the DPRK, so here
There are some differences.
Maybe I still need to familiarize myself with the etiquette and rules in these aspects in advance to avoid going to Shaanxi in the future. If I lose the face of my husband, it will be a disaster.
Thinking of this, Xiuyan is already thinking about who to ask for information. Logically, it should be Daiyu, but Daiyu's father passed away too early. Daiyu was still young at that time, so she might not know him well. The person she really knows is probably the eldest grandma Shen, but
If I want to ask her for advice, I am afraid that I will arouse Daiyu's dissatisfaction again, which is a tricky thing.
