Scroll of Five, Sword Roar, West Wind, Section 2, Sisters' Love
After sending Fang Youdu away, Feng Ziying asked Baoxiang to go and invite Jia Lian immediately.
Once Lin Ruhai really dies, many things will change, especially when it is unclear who will be the next Salt Censor of the Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers, the variables will suddenly increase.
Feng Ziying knew very well that when Emperor Yonglong had not yet obtained the military power of the capital city, this position would actually still be decided by the Supreme Emperor. Even though Emperor Yonglong might have a stalemate with the Supreme Emperor, in the end he might just get some compensation in some aspects.
.
And that's all Emperor Yonglong wanted. He knew very well that it was impossible for him to take this position to himself now.
The problem was that Lin Ruhai's condition was still stable when he left. How could it suddenly deteriorate and even reach the point of being out of control? This made Feng Ziying a little confused.
Of course, Feng Ziying also knows that diseases like Lin Ruhai's are difficult to explain. According to the original doctor's judgment, he is already considered to be very good. The original life expectancy of three to six months has now been six months, and it has happened.
Everything is normal.
The problem is that Feng Ziying's judgment is that Lin Ruhai can persist for at least three to six months, but now he can't survive even one month, which disrupts some of his plans.
It has to be said that the identity of Lin Ruhai's son-in-law still has some weight in the hearts of the salt merchants. Although this has been diluted as he has established his prestige among the salt merchants, many salt merchants who had a relationship with Lin Ruhai were more inclined from the beginning.
However, if Lin Ruhai dies of illness and a new salt inspector takes office, many things will become unpredictable.
Therefore, he had to rush back to Yangzhou before the new Salt Patrol Censor took office and guide them in practicing state affairs and doing many things first.
Jia Lian came very quickly, and it seemed that the Jia family had also received the news. It could be seen from Jia Lian's slightly sad expression.
"Brother Lian, I'm afraid you have to work hard to prepare to leave. We will go south in three days."
"Well, it says in the letter that Uncle Lin is critically ill. I'm afraid this is the end of his life. Maybe by the time we rush over..." Jia Lian shook his head.
This possibility is very high, but we can only do our best. I hope Lin Ruhai can delay it for another ten days and a half.
"Does everyone in the house know about it?" Feng Ziying asked.
"I know it all. The master and the ancestors are discussing it. Just ask someone to call me. The master asked me to come over to discuss it first and then report it to them when I go back." Jia Lian shook his head, "There is actually nothing to discuss.
That’s right, we’ve pretty much said it before, Uncle Lin is also prepared, it’s just that it’s a little more troublesome to deal with the funeral arrangements.”
After a brief discussion, it was agreed to set off the day after tomorrow. Jia Lian would contact the chartered ship. Feng Ziying still had official business to deal with and had to explain clearly to the cabinet and Guan Ying Zhen.
Fortunately, the matter here has been settled a long time ago, and what is left is Guan Yingzhen's wrangling with the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War.
Feng Ziying went south this time to finalize all the money that should be received and transport it back to the capital. Once it was done, Feng Ziying would not need to do anything else.
As soon as Jia Lian left, Jin Chuan'er came to announce that Ying'er and Shi Shu were here.
Ying'er? Waiting for the book?
This makes Feng Ziying a little confused. Baochai and Tanchun's girl are coming to find her?
"Uh, they came together?"
"No, the front foot is chasing the back foot. Well, they all met at our door." Jin Chuan'er was also a little strange. Ying'er often came to the house, but mainly to look for Xiang Ling, and Shi Shu never came. This is still
first.
Feng Ziying thought for a while and then understood something.
"Well, okay, let Ying'er come in first." Feng Ziying nodded.
As expected by Feng Ziying, the purpose of Ying'er and Shishu's visit was to invite Feng Ziying, and their respective ladies had something to do with Feng Ziying.
"What do you think, sister?" Feng Ziying arrived at Baochai's boudoir in Lixiangyuan. When she saw Baochai with a calm face, she couldn't help but asked: "I'm afraid it won't take ten and a half months to come back. If Uncle Lin
Passing away may involve a series of follow-up matters. Even if Brother Lian has full authority to handle it, it will probably take some time. If I want to come back, I'm afraid it will take five or six months."
"When Sister Lin encounters something like this, is there anything wrong for me to go and visit? Girl Yun can go and stay with Sister Lin for a few months, but I, the elder sister, can't go?" Baochai looked at her with a gentle smile.
It always feels very comfortable to go up there, "Actually, it's not just my little sister who thought of it, wouldn't Tan Yatou also want to go?"
Feng Ziying was startled, thinking that Ying'er and Shi Shu had met each other. Although they didn't say anything, he had met the two girls separately, but how could Baochai not guess it with his intelligence?
Well, for the same reason, Tan Yatou probably also guessed Baochai's thoughts.
Regarding Baochai's straightforward explanation, Feng Ziying always felt that it was not that simple.
The relationship between Baochai and Daiyu is not as close as in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and may not even be as close as that of Shi Xiangyun, but the relationship between Tanchun and Daiyu is probably the best.
Going to Yangzhou at this time can really reflect the deep love between sisters, but Baochai and Tanchun are also going, which makes it really tricky.
"You and Third Sister are going. Sister Lin will definitely welcome you, and you can indeed comfort Sister Lin. But it's just that you have to go thousands of miles away..." Feng Ziying couldn't find a suitable reason to stop it, not to mention that he didn't want to at all.
He also hoped that several of Daiyu's close friends could go, so that they could spend more time with her and relax her mood, so as not to be too sad.
"Brother Feng underestimates the little sister. Didn't the little sister also come to the capital from Jinling a few years ago?" Baochai smiled slightly, "How old is it that she can't do it anymore?"
Feng Ziying smiled and shook her head, "Brother Yu is not worried about this, he just thinks that my sister..."
Baochai couldn't help but roll her eyes at the man, and turned his face slightly to one side, "Don't you think that Brother Feng still hopes that the relationship between younger sister and younger sister Lin will be closer? Isn't it true that younger sister will visit and accompany younger sister Lin in the future...
…”
The words suddenly stopped, Baochai seemed to realize that she had made a mistake, and her cheeks turned red.
Feng Ziying suddenly realized that she was also a fool, so why couldn't she understand the mystery here?
Baochai is already preparing for a good relationship with Daiyu as "sister-in-law" in the future. After all, Daiyu has now decided to marry into the third wife of the Feng family, and she herself may marry the future second wife of the Feng family. In this way, first
The closer the relationship is, the better the "sister-in-law" or the sister will be in the future.
Seeing Feng Ziying's understanding expression, Baochai was so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her head.
As a husband, I am sometimes far-sighted and see things further and deeper than anyone else, but I need to be reminded to understand this kind of thing. Maybe this is the characteristic of those who do great things?
Seeing that Baochai was so embarrassed, Feng Ziying felt funny and a little moved, and said softly: "My sister is interested, but my stupid brother is stupid, but he hasn't thought of this yet..."
Baochai, on the other hand, said in a sweet voice: "Brother Feng is focused on official matters, so trivial matters are not a problem. What's more, when Sister Lin encounters such a thing, the younger sister should have gone to accompany her. She
I am already weak, and I have lost my mother since I was young, so it might be much better to have someone to accompany me, talk to each other, and relax my mood. My little sister has nothing to do in the capital city, and it is the same everywhere.
It’s only right to go and accompany Sister Lin.”
"Well, my sister is very considerate." Feng Ziying nodded, "I just want to visit the girl, but I don't know where Uncle Zheng Shi is..."
It was reasonable for Baochai to go there, but Feng Ziying was vaguely aware of Tanchun's intention to go there, but Baochai could not let Baochai know about these words.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying also felt a headache. Although this is not a Shura field, but considering that several people have some thoughts, they still can't explain it clearly, and they have to clarify it on the surface. This kind of occasion is really too particular.
Not only was he in trouble, but they all were equally uneasy.
What I learned from Baochai is the same as from Tanchun.
They are both sisters who have a deep love for each other and are self-righteous, but Tanchun is not as good as Baochai. She can almost make the decision in the Xue family. She has an idea. Aunt Xue always takes it seriously, and Xue Pan can't interfere, so she doesn't
What problem.
But Tanchun was different. She was a concubine, which meant that her voice in the family was not comparable to that of Xue Baochai. Moreover, even if they had great righteousness, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang might not agree to it, and it was very simple to find reasons.
It's up to Feng Ziying to help coordinate this.
Fortunately, this is not a big deal. Jia Zheng doesn't pay too much attention to it. Their minds are focused on Jia Lian coordinating the money to be brought back after all subsequent matters are dealt with. This is the most critical thing.
.
Feng Ziying simply went to Jia Zheng to tell the matter openly. Jia Zheng was also very happy and supported Tanchun in going to Yangzhou to visit Lin Daiyu.
When Feng Ziying returned to the mansion, news soon came from the official secretary that both Yingchun and Xichun were interested in going to Yangzhou with him, which really surprised Feng Ziying.
In Feng Ziying's view, Yingchun and Xichun's intention to go to Yangzhou was certainly different from Tanchun and Baochai's thoughts, but they were just touched by Tanchun and Baochai.
There are only a few girls in this house, and with Xiangyun included, three out of five went. This makes Yingchun and Xichun unable to sit still. Of course, it is normal if they don’t want to go, but going to Yangzhou is still a good idea.
Choice can also fulfill sisterhood.
As a result, four girls were going to Yangzhou. Feng Ziying also felt a big headache, but she had no reason to stop them, so she could only let these girls go, but she hoped that nothing would happen to her on this trip.
