Ji Zi Volume Chapter 39 The Pretty Widow (Second update, please vote for me!)
Feng Ziying is not worried about what Jia She can do. This guy is a typical character who only cares about money. For money, he will sell everything, including himself, let alone welcome the Spring Festival.
The cooperation with Jia Rui and Ni Er can bring benefits to Jia She, so Jia She will naturally not give up just because of this.
But now is really not the best time to deal with the Spring Festival matters. I am still worried about Baochai, and I really have no mood or energy to deal with other things. I can only use this method to give the other party a warning.
Delay the time and wait for the next step before resolving the matter.
Feng Ziying believed that she was not the kind of person who wouldn't recognize her even if she took off her pants. Yingchun's relationship with her couldn't be said to be very deep, but for such a young woman, both in terms of temperament and appearance, it was first-class, and it was even more rare for her to be so kind to herself.
If she was so determined to watch the other person fall into the abyss, Feng Ziying felt that she really couldn't do it.
What's more, he has made explicit or implicit promises to the other party. If he has the conditions to accept her, he will naturally do his best.
Coming out of Jia's mother's house, Feng Ziying walked north along the narrow road. The courtyard of Jia's Mansion was indeed much larger than that of Feng's Mansion. Even without the Grand View Garden, the front yard of Rongguo Mansion alone was much larger than that of Feng's Mansion.
Go north along the side road, walk through the east-west hall, and then pass along a large pink screen wall, and you will see the courtyard where Wang Xifeng lives.
Feng Ziying was not in the mood to make noise with Sister Feng today, so she deliberately walked around the wall from Dadaiji, intending to go around behind Sister Feng's yard.
It's just that he wanted to avoid people, but he might not be able to avoid them. Just as he had time to turn around, he was caught by Ping'er who came out of the yard. However, Feng Ziying had already turned around at this time, and Ping'er quickly followed.
But I saw that he had already reached the main entrance of the Grand View Garden, and it seemed that he was about to enter the garden.
After hesitating for a moment, Ping'er didn't greet Feng Ziying. The other party most likely wanted to go to Miss Lin when entering the garden. The unmarried couple did not interact frequently due to material considerations, but the girls in the garden also knew about it, so they didn't care too much.
.
Feng Ziying did not realize that his whereabouts had been discovered by Ping'er. He was still thinking about how to tell Baochai about this after seeing Baochai.
Just at the door, I saw Li Wan going out.
Li Wan also just came out of his Daoxiang Village and was going to sit with Aunt Xue. They were the only two widows in this house. Now the second wife of the Xue family, Mrs. Cui, has also come. With the three widows together, naturally
There is more to say.
Li Wan’s eyes lit up when he saw Feng Ziying.
“Brother Keng is here?”
“I’ve met Sister-in-law Zhu.” Feng Ziying bowed politely.
This pretty widow is dressed plainly. The book "Dream of Red Mansions" only says that she is only twenty-seven or twenty-seven years old, but she is indifferent to worldly affairs. In addition, the Jia family also treats her and Jia Lan's mother and son quite coldly, so she "feels bad".
"Like a gaunt wood", she only hopes that her son Jia Lan can read.
Li Wan had approached Feng Ziying to talk about Jia Lan a few times before. But Feng Ziying really didn’t have the energy. Secondly, she really didn’t want to have anything to do with a young widow, so she never responded clearly.
What was Jia Huan saying to herself later? Sister-in-law Shengzhu was a little dissatisfied with herself, thinking that she favored one over the other and loved Jia Huan far more than Jia Lan. This made Feng Ziying a little bit dumbfounded.
Feng Ziying didn't expect that Jia Huan, who was like a little transparent person in Jia's house, would be regarded as a "favourable" person now? This is really funny, even if Jia Huan is recommended to Qingtan Academy by himself,
That was because Jia Huan was worthy of his recommendation, and he also had a relationship with Tanchun, but he didn't expect that Li Wan would feel that he had been treated coldly and was dissatisfied.
Feng Ziying doesn’t have that much energy to help everyone in the Jia family? He doesn’t have the ability either. It’s fine if it’s easy, but if he has to put in the effort, it can only be said that it’s difficult to obey his orders.
"Brother Keng, I want to congratulate you. I heard that you are going to be released as an official, and the court wants to restore the title of the second wife of your Feng family?" Seeing Feng Ziying stand still, Li Wan stopped and asked with a smile.
"Well, there is such a thing, but my sister-in-law also knows that this type of restoration is just a symbolic meaning, nothing substantial. My second uncle has been dead for many years and has no heirs. Although this type of restoration is symbolic,
It's a reward from the imperial court, but that's all. People outside make a big fuss, but in fact everyone understands."
Feng Ziying didn’t expect that even Li Wan knew about this and came to talk to her specifically, so she could only respond.
"That's a good thing after all. Now that all three families of your Feng family have titles, it means something different to your Feng family. Of course it's okay for someone like you to succeed in studying. If the younger ones in the family are unable to study, it's okay too.
You can use this to get an official position."
Li Wan was also an official and a gentry, and he was very clear about the officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty. Unfortunately, he married Jia Zhu, who was the second wife, and the title would never reach the second wife.
Feng Ziying also admitted this. Even Shen Yixiu, who is so indifferent, attaches great importance to the title of Marquis Hulun, the eldest son. Isn't it because he is worried that if his son fails to study in the future, he will take this opportunity to obtain an official status, even if he becomes a
A wealthy and idle person has status after all.
This is also what Feng Ziying promised to Xue Baochai. With the title of Uncle Yunchuan, at least it can ensure that one of the next generation of the second family can inherit the title.
People are selfish. Who doesn't want to seek a better opportunity for their children? Although Feng Ziying hopes that he can change the world through his own efforts, he himself cannot guarantee how much change his efforts will bring to the world.
Who can say clearly whether he will achieve the state he hopes for?
Maybe a disease or an assassination could kill you.
On the one hand, it is necessary to avoid these situations as much as possible, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to leave something for the next generation.
“Sister-in-law is right, this is indeed a good thing.” Feng Ziying estimated that Li Wan still wanted to talk about Jia Lan’s affairs and did not want to go around in circles with her, “Sister-in-law, what’s the matter?”
"Brother Keng, Brother Huan went to Qingtan Academy. I feel like he is a completely different person. He is completely different from before. Brother Lang has also talked to me many times and hopes to go there."
I am studying in the academy. I also know that you are busy, Brother Keng, so I want to talk to you and see if there is a chance in the future. Can you let Brother Lang also study with his third uncle? "
Knowing that Feng Ziying must be busy going to see Daiyu, Li Wan looked at Feng Ziying sincerely and made his request.
"Sister-in-law, I understand what you mean, but you may also know about Huan Ge'er's efforts. Lang Ge'er is still a little younger now. I won't say anything else. It still depends on Lang Ge'er's own performance. If he can achieve
In Brother Huan's case, I am naturally willing to recommend it, but now I can't give you a guarantee..."
Jia Lan is also very serious in studying, but Feng Ziying feels that firstly, her efforts are not enough, and secondly, she seems not as smart and persistent as Jia Huan, but her temperament is somewhat like Baoyu, generous and kind-hearted, but not very talkative.
Li Wan has lived in Jia's house for more than ten years. How can he not understand the world's ways?
Feng Ziying's kindness to Jia Huan and her indifference to Jia Lan, well, it can't be said to be indifference, it can only be said to be ordinary treatment, which made her very hurt.
Li Wan felt that Jia Lan was considered his legitimate son after all, and he was also considered a lady from a scholarly family, so he could be better than Jia Huan no matter what.
What does Jia Huan have? Aunt Zhao is a joke in the Jia family. Jia Huan is just a concubine who no one cares about. Can she be compared with Jia Lan?
But Feng Ziying felt a little bit distant from herself. Thinking of this, Li Wan felt a little hot in his heart. Could it be that Brother Keng was afraid of the rumors in the melon field, or maybe he felt that he was seducing him?
Feng Ziying naturally did not expect that the pretty widow in front of her would be so imaginative at this time.
He avoided the other party a little, although he was a bit afraid of rumors. After all, the age difference between the two was not big, and the other party was a widow, at the age of youth and enchantment. In addition, Jia Lan was too lazy to meddle in the Jia family's business.
It's not like Jia Huan worships him as much, so there's no need to get involved.
"Brother Keng, Brother Lan is working hard now. He doesn't need to be as bad as Brother Huan back then." Li Wan emphasized his tone and looked directly at Feng Ziying, "Brother Lan has always admired you and hopes to get your personal guidance.
Just like what you did to Brother Huan two years ago..."
Feng Ziying was a little embarrassed. She was expressing her dissatisfaction in a very subtle and tactful way. Feng Ziying also knew that her attitude towards Jia Huan was seen by Li Wan, so to refuse at this time seemed to be a bit too harsh.
“Sister-in-law, you also know that I will be leaving Beijing soon. I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to have more time to come to your place to guide Lang Geer.” Feng Ziying frowned slightly.
This woman is entangled with him. Looking at her graceful and slender figure and her all-white voluptuousness, she really can't tell that she is a widow, but the slightly sullen look in her eyebrows reminds him.
“Yes, Brother Keng is a busy man. He comes and goes in a hurry when he comes to the house. He goes to some places very frequently. How can he have time to guide Brother Lang?”
Li Wan didn't know why he suddenly became a little angry at the other party. Maybe it was because of the other party's pushback, or because of the other party's favorable treatment of Jia Huan and Jia Lan, or even because he was ignored and neglected in front of the other party.
, in short, the mixture of these emotions, coupled with all the previous depression and fermentation of emotions, caused her to suddenly come out of her mouth such a few words that were obviously disrespectful to her identity.
