The news of Feng Hongluan's pregnancy was such a surprise to Hong Yan that he almost picked up Feng Hongluan and kissed her. Naturally, although he was very excited, he still had some sense. He knew that Feng Hongluan had been unwell recently, so he had to be cautious in everything.
This unexpected child brought Feng Hongluan and Hong Yan too much joy. Hong Yan no longer went to Huang Dingde's calligraphy and painting stall. Even though Princess Qinyang sent her cronies to urge him to take her secretly to the calligraphy and painting alley, he
It was also put on the shelf and turned a deaf ear.
Today, Hongyan is completely absorbed in the joy of being a father. Fenghongluan has become a treasure in his heart. He is careful all day long, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting and holding it in his palm for fear of falling.
Feng Hongluan always laughed at him, saying that he made so much fuss that he almost tied her to the bed and wouldn't allow her to go anywhere.
Hong Yan, however, said seriously: "If possible, I really hope you don't go anywhere, just lie down and have a good pregnancy, and give birth to a big fat boy for me."
Often when he said this, Feng Hongluan couldn't help but laugh: "Have you ever heard that if a mother lies in bed for a long time, it is easy to gain weight. If she gains weight, the delivery will be difficult. The mother must move regularly so that the fetus will be healthy.
, only then will the production go smoothly.”
Hong Yan was obviously surprised: "Don't all pregnant women lie in bed?"
He was really a big kid and didn't understand anything. However, after Feng Hongluan said this, he would always spend a lot of time walking with Feng Hongluan in the garden every day. Feng Hongluan's belly was still flat, and he didn't seem to have anything.
There are signs of pregnancy, but Hong Yan is always cautious. Even if a stone on the road hurts Feng Hongluan's feet, he can fire the servant who cleans the courtyard.
Feng Hongluan was originally Hong Yan's treasure, and now, Hong Yan is taking care of her in the palm of her hand, caring for her and being inseparable.
Although she is very happy, she lacks personal space. Feng Hongluan has not heard from Xiao Yunye for a long time.
Hong Yan never left, so Xiao Yunye didn't dare to get close.
Feng Hongluan knew that Xiao Yunye must have something to report to her. In the afternoon of that day, she deliberately said that she wanted a painting by Huang Dingde to pray for her unborn child, and asked Hongyan to ask for one.
She just happened to say something along the way about Princess Qinyang's repeated pleas and excuses. She was really sorry and asked Hong Yan to take some time off and take the princess to Huang Dingde to ask for a painting.
Hong Yan was naturally willing, but he was reluctant to take a step away from Feng Hongluan.
Feng Hongluan assured her that she would take good care of herself and would not carelessly drop her child like Concubine Li, so Hongyan could go out with peace of mind.
Hong Yan went out in the morning, and Xiao Yunye came in the afternoon.
The news brought by Xiao Yunye aroused the bloodthirsty factor in Feng Hongluan's heart. She knew that the Dong family could no longer stay.
Xiao Yunye said that it was discovered that Dong donated 3,000 taels of silver to build the Bodhisattva's golden body and repair the temple a few years ago.
Dong did not give the money directly to the temple, but gave it to Liang Kuan, leaving Liang Kuan fully responsible for the renovation of the temple.
Dong gave Liang Kuan taels of silver openly and openly, but he gave it so logically and understandably. Those monks were not interested in worldly affairs. They only knew that the repair of the temple and the creation of the golden body of the Bodhisattva indeed cost a lot of silver. Liang Kuan said that he spent three thousand
Two, they also recorded in the merit book that Feng Mansion donated three thousand taels.
In fact, Xiao Yunye went to inquire about the people who were hired by Liang Kuan to mold the golden body and renovate the temple. According to those people, the gold foil on the golden body of the Bodhisattva was of the lowest quality, and the materials used for the renovation of the temple came from a bankrupt company of Liang Kuan.
The demolition of the temple, that is to say, the so-called repairing the temple and rebuilding the golden body of the Bodhisattva is just a pretense for Dong to give money to Liang Kuan in an upright manner.
In addition to this, Xiao Yunye played with the tree model and found out the source of several large expenditures of the Feng Mansion.
During the spring outing in the first year of Kangding, he spent 400 taels. The money seemed to have been spent on food, drink and fun, but no trace could be found. However, shortly after Xiao Yunye found out that the money had gone out, Liang Kuan bought a small house on Fushou Street. Xiao Yunye visited
The previous owner of the house recalled that Liang Kuan had been interested in his house for a long time. However, he was short of a few hundred taels of silver. However, he did not expect that Liang Kuan was very capable. He raised the remaining silver in three days and bought the house.
That mansion.
Xiao Yunye also found out that every time there was a large amount of money missing from the Feng Mansion in the ledger, Liang Kuanna would definitely buy something valuable, such as a house, furniture, seedlings, paintings by famous artists, etc. Everyone on Fushou Street
As we all know, Liang Kuan has no family fortune, and we don’t see him going out to make money, but his money will come on its own like running water.
Everyone has also seen that Liang Kuan brought a woman back. Although the woman covered her face with a cloak, from the way she was dressed, it was obvious at a glance that she was a young lady or wife from a wealthy family.
Liang Kuan has been addicted to gambling since the New Year, but his luck in gambling was extremely bad. He lost nine out of ten bets and owed a lot of debt to the gambling house. He even started to pawn his belongings and sold all the furniture, seedlings, and paintings he had purchased before.
, but it was not enough to pay off the gambling debts. The thugs from the gambling house had come to collect the debts two or three times, and threatened to break his legs if he did not pay back the money by the end of May.
For this reason, Liang Kuan was so frightened that he couldn't leave his house. He was looking for a buyer these days and wanted to sell the house. Unfortunately, a Feng Shui master took a look at the house and said it had extremely bad Feng Shui, so he couldn't sell it for a while.
As the end of the month approaches, Liang Kuan is like a bereaved dog, at the end of his rope and very destitute.
But in the past few days, he suddenly became prosperous again. Not only did he pay off all his debts, but he also continued to fish and eat in gambling houses every day. He seemed to have the God of Wealth by his side. Once he broke his fortune, the money would continue to flow.
Falling from the sky, he does not work or work, but does not need to worry about money.
Feng Hongluan finally understood why Dong was so impatient to "spend money" as soon as her father left. It turned out to be her sweetheart who owed a bunch of gambling debts and was chased to the bottom of his rope.
Shi Cai did not hesitate to take risks. He had just obtained the right of his mistress to be the head of the house, and he started to empty out the warehouses of Feng Mansion to support her concubines.
After listening to Xiao Yunye's words, Feng Hongluan's face turned gloomy, her pink fists were clenched tightly, her bones and joints were clearly visible, and she was pale and blue.
"Uncle Xiao."
"Miss's orders."
"Last time I told you and Uncle Lan to take back all the authority from the Dong family. How did she react?"
