Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 542 The branches and vines are entangled, unable to escape
Yuanchun had brought the message here a long time ago. She went back to Jia Mansion to visit her relatives, and also wanted to go back to the Grand View Garden to have a look.
This scared Feng Ziying to death.
What is this for?
Is it necessary to declare *** by showing off the carriage and horse?
Or do you want to take the spotlight?
But have you won it?
I want to go back to the Grand View Garden at this time, but now my family members live in the Grand View Garden. What do you mean by coming here?
What do Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu think?
What do the servants in the garden think and think? Many of them are former members of Rong Ning's Second Mansion.
But Yuanchun's attitude in the letter was very firm, and he had to come and take a look, which made Feng Ziying a little bit at a loss. It was definitely impossible to see it publicly, so Long Jinwei, no, Long Jinwei didn't care, I got it, there was the Lu Song Gang If you cover it up, nothing will happen, but if the palace finds out, it will be a big trouble.
Privately speaking, it was also very troublesome. Jia Yuan had to stay in the new Jia Mansion during the spring vacation, and then quietly rode a carriage across the entire capital city to Sanjue Street.
It's not impossible to do this, but Feng Ziying is afraid that Jia Yuanchun will do something wrong again.
For example, if you want to stay one night in the original provincial villa, and also take a boat trip to reminisce about the past, you will really make yourself feel dizzy.
With the keen intuition of Shen, Xue and Lin, they will not be able to detect the fishy things inside. I am afraid that the secret is about to be revealed. Feng Ziying plans to wait until the 15th Yuan Spring to go to the Xinjia Mansion to see and advise. , it is really impossible to "subdue" her in bed and ask her to give up this idea that will bring unlimited risks.
But Feng Ziying was not sure whether he could persuade this woman.
This woman has been a bit "crazy" since she came back from Jiangnan. She seems to think that she is omnipotent and hopes to take her out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, but can she do it now?
This incident has always made Feng Ziying a little uneasy.
But it would take ten more days to reach fifteen, so it would be meaningless to write a letter now. Yuanchun would definitely not listen and would only talk about it in person.
In addition to the Yuanchun incident, Wang Xifeng is going back to Beijing on the tenth day of the first lunar month.
This is also something that makes Feng Ziying a little embarrassed.
Wang Ziteng has been pardoned by a general amnesty, and the court does not do anything wrong for itself.
The old Denglai Army was merged into Cao Wenzhao's new Denglai Army. After the merger, the combat effectiveness of the Denglai Army was greatly increased.
Wang Ziteng fulfilled his promise, and the court was very satisfied, so he stopped pursuing the Wang family and even retained Wang Ziteng's status in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.
Now Wang Xifeng is returning to Beijing with Hu Zi. In addition to seeing herself, she also wants to see Wang Ziteng.
Although Wang Ziteng had known for a long time that he and Wang Xifeng had a son, Feng Ziying still felt a little uncomfortable having to challenge him in person.
In particular, Jia Lian will return to Beijing on the eighth day of the lunar month and will return south to Yangzhou on the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
On the one hand, Jia Lian returned to Beijing to report on the cooperation between Haitong Yinzhuang Yangzhou and the stock exchange to promote the reform of the joint-stock industry. On the other hand, he also came for Qiao Jieer.
Sister Qiao is about to be fifteen, so it's time to talk about a marriage, but it's obvious that Wang Xifeng has been focusing on business in the past two years, and even Huzi has neglected it, let alone the daughter she had with her ex-husband.
Of course, Lin Zhixiao's family took care of Sister Qiao. Sister Qiao also lived a good life like the daughter of an ordinary wealthy family. However, Sister Qiao's surname was Jia after all. Although Jia Lian was a little ruthless, he only cared about marrying wives and taking concubines in Yangzhou.
After giving birth to a son, he didn't care much about Qiao's life, but now that Qiao's son was almost young, he still had to take care of her to avoid being poked in the back by the Jia clan in the future.
In addition, now the Jia family seems to have regained a chance to breathe under the protection of the Feng family.
Jia Huan had already passed last year's Qiu Wei Competition and became a Juren, Jia Lan had also passed the Scholar Examination, but Jia Cong was not qualified because Jia She was still serving his sentence in exile.
The Jia family suddenly showed good signs of transformation from the declining Hairpin Ying family to the Shishu family.
This year's Spring Festival Competition is coming soon. If Jia Huan can pass the Jinshi examination, it will undoubtedly be a good news for the Jia family that can comfort the clan members.
Even if Jia Huan really never passed the Jinshi examination, he already had the qualifications to be an official with the status of Juren, and he could move forward independently from the Jia family.
And Jia Baoyu, who was promised by Feng Ziying to go to the Hanlin Academy to make a living in the future, was also very excited. During this period, he also restrained himself a lot and stayed at home, waiting to be able to enter the Hanlin Academy in the future and become a scholar.
All these circumstances made Jia Lian a little confused, hoping to come back and see the changes in the Jia family.
Jia Lian is back, Wang Xifeng is back, Qiao Jie'er and Hu Zi, plus Wang Ziteng, there are Qin Keqing and Shi Xiangyun, as well as Zhen Baoqi, Shuitang and Mu Tan, the girls are all complicated, and they all seem to be closely related to themselves.
Feng Ziying really felt that this holiday was worse than no holiday at all, and she actually felt a little overwhelmed. When she got the news that Feng Ziying was going to visit her, the entire Jia family became restless.
Today is different from the past. The Jia family has lost its former glory and has even been reduced to a situation where it has to rely on charity to make a living.
After moving to Mingshifang, everyone including Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and others felt that the conditions here were actually more suitable and were very satisfied.
Although the scale is not as large as the two Rongning mansions combined, nor is it as luxurious as the Rongguo mansion after the construction of the Grand View Garden, it is a villa for the prince of Dongping County with a moderate location and an elegant environment. More importantly, there are not so many mansions and no
With so many people needed to take care of and care for, the cost will be much smaller.
Another key factor is that it is far away from the area where Jia family members live in Jinchengfang, so there are fewer ties and clan members who come to visit for autumn.
Of course, some members of the Jia clan have "discovered" this place during the spring break, and they have begun to arrive one after another. This has also made the Jia family realize that it is impossible to get rid of this gang of maggots like tarsal bones, but it is better to have less.
, count how much you can save.
"It's rare that Brother Keng has to come over to visit us. It shows that people don't ignore us just because our family has fallen into poverty."
Jia Zheng stroked his beard and smiled, rarely feeling much better.
After experiencing the catastrophe of being imprisoned in Nanjing and being forced to serve as the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, his energy was not as good as before. When he returned to the capital, he lived in a solitary life and rarely made friends with people outside. He rarely went out, but now he is an old man at home.
He is the only one in his generation. His eldest brother Jia She is still serving his sentence in Shaanxi. He doesn’t know when the end will be. If he really has to finish his sentence without waiting for the amnesty, I guess this old bone will have to be thrown away.
Over there.
But you don't know how to solve this problem, so you are counting on Feng Ziying to help you, but you are counting on others for everything. Even if you marry a daughter of the Jia family, not everything can be done satisfactorily for you.
"Yes, let's move here. Brother Keng has arranged everything for us. Brother Jia Zhen and Brother Rong are also back. Not only can the whole family be reunited, but at least they can get it together.
It’s a rough idea, it depends on the boss..."
Jia Mu also sighed and raised her head.
Amber who was next to her quickly put a handkerchief on Jia Mu's hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Jia Mu then said, "We still have to thank you for coming. We still count on Brother Keng for Baoyu's affairs. Brother Huan will compete in the Spring Festival this year."
, it is very important, next year Zhengke, Langeer will still have a chance...
Mrs. Wang also joined the conversation: "Sister Feng said that she is returning to Beijing on the tenth day of the lunar month and is going to her brother's place. Then she will definitely come here to visit her ancestors. It's the same with Lian'er. I might want to talk about Sister Qiao.
"My son's marriage,..." "Humph, of course you are welcome to come to me, Feng girl, but Lian'er is a heartless man. He is still suffering in Shaanxi, but he is living in Yangzhou and turning a blind eye. He has come back several times this year.
?The second girl has been back three or four times in the past six months. There are difficulties in the house. The second girl is not the head of the Feng family, but she still knows how to help. But what about Lian'er? I heard that he raised two Yangzhou
Shouma spends no less than a few thousand taels of silver, he is really spoiled, and so is Brother Keng..."
As soon as Jia Mu said that Jia Lian was rich and noble, her face turned cold and her face was filled with anger.
To be precise, among the men in charge, the one who has done the best is Jia Lian.
Haitong Yinzhuang Yangzhou has always been the perfect
This is the best place for business in the Haitong system.
Without him, Yangzhou is rich, with a large concentration of salt merchants, and the Haitong Silver Store brand is displayed there. Anyone can get away with it, as long as they are not too stupid.
After all, Jia Lian was from a common family, had seen some things in the world, had a good temperament, and could hang out with the Yangzhou businessmen in food, drink, prostitution, and gambling, so he was pretty good on the cards.
Yangzhou's business has always been good, and Feng Ziying still felt a little guilty after sleeping with Wang Xifeng, so she took good care of her.
Now Jia Lian's salary has reached 8,000 taels of silver per year, plus some other fancy red envelope income, it can easily exceed 10,000 taels per year.
With such an income, how could Jia Lian be able to endure it?
Last year, I took in another concubine and kept an outhouse. My life was so comfortable that I couldn't think of the difficulties faced by a large family in Beijing.
Originally, Jia Lian always favored his second wife, doting on Jia Baoyu, and had a lot of opinions about Jia Mu. The eldest brother was always suppressed, and even Jia She was not welcome, let alone him?
Now that the Jia family is in dire straits, there is leakage from all sides, and they need money to support them, they just think about themselves.
Why don't you ask Baoyu? He is also the legitimate son, he is in his early twenties, he can't do anything, he only knows how to hang around, why?
My own money is not blown by the strong wind. Is it easy to accompany my clients to eat, drink, whore and gamble all year round?
There is a large family at home, with two sons and a daughter. Not counting Qiao, how can she have so much energy to take care of such nonsense?
Xing's side is the aunt's aunt, no matter how justified it is, so she can occasionally go back to the north to support her, and her second sister is still in Beijing, so that's pretty much it.
