Volume Five, Section 116, First View of the Grand View Garden
Looking at the excitement, satisfaction and enterprising spirit on Wang Wenyan’s face, Feng Ziying felt much more at ease.
After all, hundreds of years have passed, and the various aspects of political life in previous lives may not be suitable for the present. Of course, the big principles are similar, but there are still considerable differences in specific and detailed operations.
For Wang Wenyan, who is familiar with and even talented in this area, having him help him make plans and correct deficiencies will undoubtedly make people feel more at ease. At least he does not need to spend too much energy on this, and he does not have to worry.
A big mistake was made due to a moment of negligence.
From another perspective, Feng Ziying is more willing to occupy Zhenghe in the principle of using Zhenghe to win by surprise, and let Wang Wenyan hide behind to win by surprise, or in other words, he uses the strategy of governing the country with Zhenghe and using surprise troops.
As a guideline for his future actions, Yi Qi Yong Bing is Wang Wenyan as an assistant.
If you want to move forward more steadily and further in the political career of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to relying on the connections you have already established, you also need to have a set of people who completely belong to you and can be used by you. Only in this way can you be more successful in the future.
Spacious.
Lin Ruhai left himself a very rich legacy, which could not be replaced by a group of classmates from Qingtan Academy. Wang Wenyan and his group would cooperate effectively with people like Fang Youdu, Zheng Chongjian, and Wang Yingxiong, allowing him to
You can cope with the future with greater ease.
This is also Feng Ziying’s confidence.

"Why is Baoyu so eager to invite my brother to come to the house today?" When Feng Ziying stepped into Jia's house, she met Baoyu who was waiting for her. She looked at Baoyu up and down. She was much leaner than before, and her original round face actually became a bit slimmer.
It became more angular, a little less gentle and a little more calm, which made Feng Ziying look at her with suspicion.
"The younger brother asked Brother Feng to come over to the house because he wanted to invite Brother Feng to visit the garden. The day before yesterday, the master said that he wanted me to accompany him. I guess he wanted me to write some plaques and couplets on the pavilions and pavilions in the garden. I didn't know for sure, so
I want to invite my brother to come and walk through it together first, and also give me some advice for my little brother, so that he won’t have difficulty passing the test later.”
Ever since Baoyu became obsessed with writing legendary stories for "Today's News", his status in the Jia family has become a bit strange.
On the one hand, being able to calm down and study and write does not seem to be a bad thing. At least the closeness and frequency of contacts with Qin Zhong, Jiang Qiguan and others have been significantly reduced, which made Jia Zheng and his wife breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, you
It is impossible to completely sever ties with these people.
But on the other hand, since you can concentrate on reading and writing, why can't you take the scientific examination well?
However, Baoyu gave a very frank answer. He had no idea about the meaning of classics and had no sense of current affairs. Only poems and legendary novels could arouse his interest.
Fortunately, Feng Ziying also pointed out another path. If you can achieve success in writing legendary stories, then you can also follow Mr. Linchuan Hairuo's example and make a name for yourself through drama scripts and win a place in the academy.
reputation.
In this way, even if his achievements in the imperial examination cannot be determined, his dazzling performance in poetry and drama can still give Baoyu a place among the scholars in the capital city.
Sometimes, even if you cannot prove yourself through the imperial examination, as long as you are famous enough among the scholars, it can play a role in obtaining an official status through other means, or even finding a suitable marriage, and maintaining the cohesion and standing of a family.
Great effect.
In other words, as long as you gain a reputation among the scholars, even if it is a favor or donating an official position, your reputation will be much better. It will also be of great help in finding a marriage with a better family background, and even shouldering the burden of the family.
The path pointed out by Feng Ziying is undoubtedly the path most suitable for Jia Baoyu's current temperament.
“Baoyu, don’t you know that Brother Yu knows nothing about poetry?” Feng Ziying was quite amused.
"Brother, why do you still hide it in front of your younger brother?" Baoyu showed an embarrassed smile on his face, "The day before yesterday, the second sister, sister Bao, sister Lin, sister Yun, third sister, and fourth sister went to the house and brought back a song "
"Bu Suanzi·Yong Mei" shocked me as a heavenly being. This poem is unique even if it is placed in the capital city. I am ashamed of myself."
"Haha, don't let the sisters deceive you." Feng Ziying smiled and shook her head, "I just remembered something occasionally. I can't take it seriously. I can't take it seriously."
"Brother, there is no need to be humble. This is a good thing. It's just that my brother is busy with big things and doesn't care much about such small things." Baoyu's words are also full of complex tastes. The small things that Feng Ziying disdains are coveted in the minds of countless people.
of avenue.
"Okay, Baoyu, don't put a high hat on me, I can't afford it." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Let's go, I've long heard that this garden is built to be beautiful and dazzling, and I feel bad in my heart.
Looking forward to seeing you."
“I’m afraid that my brother’s expectations are too high and he will be disappointed.”
Jia Baoyu has already seen the garden. The exquisiteness and magnificence of the garden are truly astonishing, but I heard that the cost was also very low. It is said that the total cost has exceeded 400,000 taels of silver.
Thinking that these 400,000 taels of silver could pile up into a mountain of silver, Jia Baoyu sighed with emotion, but this was to make his eldest sister look good, and to support the Rongguo Mansion. No matter how much money he had, he still had to spend it, but now he had to spend it.
All the money borrowed from Sister Lin's house, the money from the company and the money recovered from various houses were spent, and besides, I still had a lot of debts abroad.
Feng Ziying didn't have so many emotions. Since the Jia family did this, there is a reason for it. It is normal for some thoughts to be hard to let go. After all, Jia Yuanchun is also a noble concubine, right? At least outside, everyone thinks that the Jia family has another
It will be prosperous and prosperous.
As for the deeper things, how many people really know and understand them?
As soon as Baoyu led Feng Ziying to the gate of the garden, he heard a burst of laughter and saw two girls, Xiangyun and Tanchun, coming towards them. They saw Feng Ziying and Baoyu at a glance.
“Brother Feng, second brother Bao!”
Xiangyun and Tanchun were both overjoyed, "Why did Brother Feng come over without saying a word?"
“Well, Baoyu invited Brother Yu to come over and take a look at the garden for a sneak peek.” Feng Ziying said cheerfully: “Why, where are you two sisters going?”
"Brother Feng wants to see the garden? That's great. We just walked around briefly but didn't take a closer look. It just so happens that Brother Bao is the welcome guest and will take us to see the beautiful scenery. How about it?"
Xiangyun's bright smile fell into his eyes, which always made people feel as bright as sunshine shining deep into their hearts, which made them feel particularly comfortable. Feng Ziying liked the other person's openness and forthrightness very much.
Baoyu was naturally happy and nodded repeatedly. He really regarded himself as the owner of the garden and took the lead. Seven or eight people in the group, including the maids and servants, went to the garden.
The first is the five-room main entrance. The tiles and clay ridges are paired with white walls, which are extremely simple and elegant, with the right shades. The water-milled skirt wall, white stone platform, and tiger-skin stone rise with the trend, which is high-spirited and rugged, with a unique flavor.
Feng Ziying already had some impressions. This was the first impression when she entered the Grand View Garden. It was indeed extraordinary.
As soon as you enter the door, you can see the continuous green peaks. This should be the rockery Taihu Stone bought from the south. The strange rocks are like ghosts and beasts, or like strange gluttons. They stand vertically and horizontally. They are covered with moss and covered with wisteria.
Forming a beautiful landscape.
Feng Ziying couldn’t help but praise her, which also made Jia Baoyu and Tan Chun very proud.
"Brother, how about this?" Baoyu, a child, couldn't suppress his temperament.
“It really has the elegance of the mountains, which makes people forget the vulgarity. The essence of such a miniature scene must be in one corner. It must be the work of a famous artist and a master craftsman.” Feng Ziying was full of praise.
"Brother, the beautiful scenery is still behind, let's go this way." Baoyu finally got this opportunity to show off in front of Brother Feng. Naturally, he wanted to do his best, but Feng Ziying saw a hundred white stones in front of him, which were obviously used for inscriptions.
, then asked: "Baoyu, Sister Yun, Third Sister, if Uncle Shi asks, how do you think the inscription should be here?"
“How is Jinzhang?”
“I’m afraid Pincui needs more, right?”
Tanchun and Xiangyun were discussing, Feng Ziying looked at Baoyu who was confident, "Does Baoyu have a good sentence?"
“Brother Feng, what do you think of ‘A Winding Path Leads to a Quiet Place’?” Baoyu raised his head slightly, but couldn’t help but smile.
Feng Ziying suddenly realized that this guy actually wanted to lure her here and wanted to show off in front of her.
Just like in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" after the Grand View Garden was completed, Jia Zheng brought a group of Qingke and Baoyu, also intending to test Baoyu's poetic and literary talents. Now he has replaced Jia Zheng, and Tanchun and Xiangyun have also replaced him.
All of Jia Zheng's purges.
Of course, in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Baoyu was forced to leave, but this time it was Baoyu who took the initiative to invite himself to play the role of examiner. This is undoubtedly the superposition of his different identities and the song "Bu Suanzi Yong Mei" he wrote the day before yesterday.
power.

"Baoyu, what a talent!" Feng Ziying naturally did not hesitate to praise him. Since Baoyu is willing to take her as the leader, and the Jia brothers are all following him, Feng Ziying will not deliberately embarrass or target anyone. At least Baoyu is better than Jia She.
There are many good people in this class.
"Brother, I'm overly praised. It's just an occasional gain." When Baoyu heard Feng Ziying's praise, he quickly cupped his hands and thanked her, but the fondness on his face was beyond words. Seeing it in Xiangyun's eyes, he couldn't help but whisper: "Second Brother Bao
A lot has changed in the past six months. Wasn't he resentful of Brother Feng before? Why does he care so much about Brother Feng's praise now? Look at the wrinkles on his face and he's almost laughing."
This sentence made even Tanchun laugh a little, but looking at how this second brother Bao was completely different from usual, it was obvious that the status of Brother Feng in his mind had undergone earth-shaking changes.
