Lin Ruhai knew from Feng Ziying's calm look that the other party should understand the value and weight of these things in his hand, and he should also understand the potential power and risks of these things.
Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia are not gentlemen, and they naturally have to teach their proud disciple some ways to behave in the officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty. In addition, Feng Ziying herself comes from a noble family, and there are sordid things going on there.
I'm afraid it's no less than the civil service system. I believe that Feng Ziying should have understood the depth of it.
Lin Ruhai has been thinking about this issue for a long time.
He was not sure how meaningful and useful these things were to Feng Ziying now. Even a month ago, he felt that maybe he didn't need to leave too much to the other party, but after learning about what Feng Ziying was doing and wanted to do through Wang Wenyan, he again
I feel that maybe these things can be of great help to Feng Ziying, but the premise is that Feng Ziying can grasp the scale well when using them.
Fortunately, Wang Wenyan is still here, and maybe Wang Wenyan can be used to check things for him in the future.
It can be seen that Feng Ziying is also very interested in these things. Lin Ruhai thought over and over again and decided to hand over all these things to Feng Ziying in the future. How to consider and weigh them, or leave it to him to judge. With Wang Wenyan's reminder and help, I believe he can handle it well.
these things.
"Ziying, when will you return to the capital?" Jia Lian looked at the high-spirited Feng Ziying with envy.
He may not be able to leave for the time being. Lin Ruhai seems to be okay now, but the doctor has also warned that this is just a superficial phenomenon. It may take a turn for the worse one day. He has a heavy responsibility and must sit here and guard.
"I originally wanted to stay for the New Year, but Cui Gong disagreed, saying that the trip south has been postponed for a long time, and I have to return to Beijing as soon as possible. It is estimated that I will leave tomorrow." Feng Ziying did not hide it in front of Jia Lian,
"Second Brother Lian is staying, but do you have an explanation from the old lady, Uncle She Shi, and Uncle Zheng Shi?"
Jia Lian was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Feng Ziying was very calm, he thought for a while and said: "Ziying, you and my brother, I won't hide it from you. He also knows about Uncle Lin. The government means that if Uncle Lin dies, the Lin family will be killed."
After the family property has been dealt with and brought back to the capital, there must have been some disputes between Uncle Lin and the family before. If Uncle Lin dies, Sister Lin will definitely go back to live with the Jia family, and her future marriage will definitely be arranged by the Jia family. However,
I didn't expect that you, Sister Lin and Uncle Lin have already made this plan, which puts me in a bit of a dilemma."
Jia Lian is honest, the people who can make the decisions in this house are Jia Mu, Jia She, and Jia Zheng. It seems that this should be decided by the three people, and it also has the consent of Lin Ruhai, and it may even be proposed by Lin Ruhai.
But now that the situation has changed, Jia Lian is a little unsure about how to deal with it.
Theoretically, Lin Ruhai is still there, so it is up to Lin Ruhai to deal with it. If Lin Daiyu and Feng Ziying are engaged, then a dowry should be agreed upon, and Lin Ruhai can decide it by herself, and the rest will probably be handed over to the Jia family.
From now on, the Jia family will be regarded as Lin Daiyu's natal family. If the Feng family is angry and suffers a loss, the Jia family will stand up for Lin Daiyu.
But Feng Ziying has not yet been engaged to Daiyu. If they want to be engaged, they will have to ask someone from the Feng family to find a matchmaker. The two parties have agreed, but Jia Lian also knows that there may be obstacles here. Feng's mother Duan's attitude
It's very crucial, and the main reason is that it falls on Daiyu's body and bones.
"Second brother Lian, it's actually nothing. Uncle Lin and I have discussed it. My opinion is that sister Lin will live in the Jia family in the future, so the Jia family is her natal family, so there is no need to hand over Uncle Lin's inheritance to the Jia family.
The question, well, of course Uncle Lin may want to discuss with Brother Lian to determine the dowry for Sister Lin when she gets married in the future, and he may also ask Brother Lian to make the decision..."
Hearing what Feng Ziying said, Jia Lian was also greatly surprised.
This means that Lin Ruhai's inheritance still has to be handed over to the Jia family, and the dowry for sister Lin when she gets married will come from the Jia family. But at that time, the initiative is not in the Jia family. How much is not the Jia family's final say? I'm afraid
At that time, Jia Lian might not be able to do this.
"Ziying, I'm afraid you should be cautious about this matter. You should know that your second brother Lian cannot make the decision in many matters in the mansion. When that time comes, Uncle Lin is no longer here, and such matters can only be arranged by the mansion.
, and the situation in the mansion is not very good now, so..."
This can only be said for this reason. Jia Lian is an honest person. It is very rare to say this. Feng Ziying can understand.
Feng Ziying nodded knowingly: "Brother Lian, I understand, but this matter should be handled according to Uncle Lin's opinion. Sister Lin will be in your house for the next few years. I don't want her to be affected for this reason. Her
You know her temper, and she can't bear those contemptuous looks. I would rather let her have a relaxed and comfortable state of mind. Her body is already weak, and if she is in a bad mood, it will be even more detrimental to her health."
Jia Lian sighed and shook his head, "Ziying, you are a born lover. It is also a blessing for Sister Lin to marry you."
Being praised by Jia Lian, Feng Ziying felt a little hot in her face. She thought of Shen's daughter and Xue Baochai, as well as Sister You, who had followed him south and was regarded as a concubine, as well as those who had been combed back by him quietly.
Xiangling, I feel a little uncomfortable when such flattering words are used on me.
However, Feng Ziying soon became calm. Her feelings for Sister Lin had never changed, it was just some adjustments.
So when he saw Daiyu again, he was calm and focused.
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just a few crossbow arrows. I probably wanted to scare you Brother Feng on purpose." Daiyu also knew that Feng Ziying and his party were attacked before arriving in Yangzhou. Her face was full of concern and worry, and Feng Ziying looked...
Very unconcerned, "If my sister doesn't believe it, you might as well ask your uncle. Your uncle won't lie to your sister, right?"
"Brother Feng is going back to Beijing tomorrow?" The resentment lingered on Daiyu's face, "Then..."
"Don't worry, it will take at least a month to go back and recover. By the way, I will also report the situation to my mother. Well, by the way, I will also find a suitable person to propose marriage to my uncle..."
Feng Ziying knew that Daiyu was sensitive and fragile, especially at this time, so her tone was particularly gentle and sure, "We must settle things as soon as possible."
In front of Zicuckoo, Daiyu Xiafei's cheeks, Yanyan eyebrows suddenly spread, her jade-white head nodded slightly, but in the end she turned her head to one side, holding the sweat with scarlet dots on the white background in her hand.
The towel became more and more wrinkled, and she said "hmm" like a mosquito, but said no more words.
Feng Ziying knew that she had accomplished this girl's job, and she felt reassured.
"Zicuckoo, your girl may have to stay in Yangzhou during this period. Xueyan is not very sensible, so it's all up to you to worry about it." Feng Ziying is very relieved about Zijuan. With this girl by her side, Daiyu will not be able to do anything.
It won't be too uncomfortable, "I'll try to come back in a month, um..."
Zijuan understood the meaning of Feng Ziying's words, but nodded without saying a word. Feng Ziying saw something in the other person's eyes and came out first. As expected, Zijuan quietly came out after a while.
"Zicuckoo, what's going on?" Feng Ziying was quite surprised when she saw Zicuckoo's mysterious look. This girl is not of this temperament.
"Master, I heard that I have a daughter, and I am arranging for Mr. Wang to search for her. It is said that she went to the capital."
Zijuan's words shocked Feng Ziying. Lin Ruhai also has a daughter?
Where did this daughter come from?
Why is it never mentioned in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions"?
Seeing Feng Ziying looking at her suspiciously, obviously not believing it, Zijuan couldn't help but stamp her feet, "I shouldn't have said these words to the uncle, but I don't know if this has anything to do with the girl.
, and he didn’t dare to tell the girl, and the master didn’t tell the girl either. I don’t know whether he didn’t want the girl to know, or because he felt it wasn’t the right time, but this matter is absolutely true..."
"How did you know?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask.
"A few days ago, Mr. Wang came to see the master, but the master fell asleep, so Mr. Wang kept waiting for the master to wake up. Later, my aunt felt uncomfortable, so she asked the maid to pour tea. After the tea came out, the maid
I was boiling water in the tea house and was about to go in to refill it when I heard Mr. Wang say that the girl had gone to the capital and that someone had to be arranged to find her whereabouts..."
Zijuan is a careful person, "The maidservant didn't pay attention at that time, until Mr. Wang said something, saying that although the girl is the girl's sister, she has been in Buddhism for so many years. It is understood that she has a simple temperament, and I am afraid she may not be willing to come back.
To recognize the ancestor, it is best to ask a Master Jingyuan to write a letter and ask someone to bring it to the capital to persuade..."
"Then the maid didn't dare to go in and waited until Mr. Wang left..."
Feng Ziying didn't expect this to happen, but Wang Wenyan never mentioned it to her or herself. It must have been ordered by Lin Ruhai, but this kind of thing didn't seem to have much to do with her. The one she wanted to marry was Lin Daiyu, not Lin Ruhai.
The other daughters are just a little curious about where this daughter came from.
"Is there anything else?" Feng Ziying didn't know what was weird here, but she always felt that it had something to do with herself, or that Lin Ruhai was simply preparing to arrange all her own affairs?
"The servant also heard Mr. Wang say that in the future, the girl and that girl will understand the master's thoughts and difficulties, but the master said that it doesn't matter whether he understands it now, but in the end the girls will understand him.
painstaking efforts.”
Feng Ziying thought hard, and finally shook her head: "Zicjuan, if your master wanted to let Sister Lin know about this, he would naturally tell it. Now that my sister doesn't know, then just pretend you don't know. We'll talk about it later."
