Chapter 1075: Little Thoughts on Gengzi Volume

 The large formation that a few people created here has already attracted many people in the mansion to look around.

Especially when they saw Jia Lan bowing sometimes, sometimes kowtowing, sometimes crying with joy, it made people around him who were surrounded by maids hiding in the alley behind the door extremely surprised.

Who are Feng Ziying and Jia Lan? Everyone in the family knows them, and there are also Mr. Bao and Mr. Huan nearby, both of whom are important figures in the family.

This Jia Lan is now eleven or twelve years old. He will have to wait for two or three years to tie his hair. He can be considered a young adult. Why is he acting like this to Uncle Feng, crying and laughing, so far away? Everyone who peeped from afar was astonished.

Even though Jia She and Jia Zheng, who heard the noise in the Rongxi Hall, did not come out, they had actually sent their servants out to check. However, the servants saw that Feng Ziying and several masters of the Jia family spoke seriously. , no one dared to get close.

It wasn't until Feng Ziying finished talking to the brothers, uncles and nephews of the Jia family that Li Shier came over lamely, smiled obediently and saluted: "Uncle Feng, the two gentlemen are already waiting for you in the Rongxi Hall."

"Well, let's go then." Feng Ziying nodded and said, "Don't keep Shibo Shishu waiting for a long time."

In the past, when Feng Ziying went to Jia's house, she sometimes met Jia She and Jia Zheng in Rongxi Hall, but this time it was different.

Feng Ziying led the way with Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan, accompanied by Jia Lan, and arrived outside Rongxi Hall. Jia She and Jia Zheng had already lowered their rank to greet them.

 This is a little different.

It can be said that Feng Ziying is a junior, Jia She and Jia Zheng are the elders, and Feng Ziying is going to marry Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu are Jia She and Jia Zheng's nieces and nephews, and Jia She and Jia Zheng are also people with official status, not white, so It was not the turn of the two elders to step down to greet him. No matter how bad it was, they could show respect at the gate of Rongxi Hall, but Jia She and Jia Zheng actually went out to welcome him.

Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and others were also a little surprised. Feng Ziying was startled and hurriedly walked forward a few steps and bowed his hands and said, "Uncle Shibo, how can this be done? Don't you kill your nephew?"

Jia She stroked his beard and nodded, Jia Zheng waited with a smile.

"Brother Keng, you are now a famous person in Beijing and the court. Yesterday I sent Qin Ming to your house to deliver the post, but Qin Ming said that Fengcheng Hutong was overcrowded and even cars couldn't get close. I guess he sent the post Go in, you don’t have time to look, I didn’t expect you to come to our house today, at least you still remember the friendship between our Jia Feng family, haha,..."

Jia She stroked his beard, feeling quite proud and looking around.

"Where did Uncle Shi Shi go? My nephew just returned to Beijing temporarily for business. He will rush back to Yongping Mansion tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If he can spare time, he will naturally come to the mansion to pay a visit."

Feng Ziying didn't expect that Jia She actually sent someone to post at her house. However, yesterday afternoon, many well-informed people learned about the news that she had been summoned by the emperor and negotiated with the Mongols, so they swarmed to the house to post and wait. He didn't pay attention. Qin Ming probably saw that there were too many people, so he probably couldn't wait, so he went back first.

"Let outsiders take a look. They say that our Jia family seems to have been in a recession in the past two years. There are a lot of rumors outside, and I don't know who doesn't like our Jia family. They are planning it. You don't want to come here this time." This can be regarded as a face to your Uncle Shishi and Uncle Zhengshi."

Qin Ming also went to inquire. It seemed that Feng Ziying had not gone out to visit anyone else except to visit Qiao Yingjia, the left deputy censor of the Imperial Procuratorate. This was Feng Ziying's second trip to visit people. It was coming to the Jia family, so this made Jia She and Jia Zheng feel proud, so they made an exception and lowered their ranks to welcome him.

Feng Ziying also didn't expect that Jia She was not only greedy for money, but also good-looking. With such good face, she shouldn't do things like selling her daughter and niece, but she could only keep these words in her heart and have to show a smile on her face. With.

"Uncle Shi Shi, you don't have to care about the opinions of those boring people outside. The prestige of the Second Duke Rongning is so high that some idle people can't slander him." Feng Ziying said with a smile.

"Yes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Don't look at it. At least we still have a noble concubine in the palace." Jia She's metaphor was also nondescript, which made Feng Ziying laugh so hard that her stomach hurt.

Such an unlearned and unskilled person is actually the head of the Rongguo Mansion. This shows the decline of the Jia family. There are indeed some reasons why Jia's mother is unwilling to hand over the power of the government to the eldest son.

Jia She and Jia Zheng welcomed Feng Ziying into the Rongxi Hall. Feng Ziying took the guest seat, and Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan also took their seats respectively.

The maid had already brought tea in, so naturally it was not the familiar mandarin duck, so Feng Ziying took it.

After a while of greetings, it was inevitable to talk about Feng Ziying's return to Beijing and the current situation in the capital. This was also the issue that Jia She and Jia Zheng were most concerned about.

Tens of thousands of refugees suddenly poured into the capital city. Rumors spread several times a day, making people panic. Although "Today's News" also published the news, after all, it was the middle and upper classes who got it first, and at the bottom, more Or those unreliable gossips passed down by word of mouth.

Even if Jia Zheng goes to the Ministry of Industry every day, it is difficult to get real and credible news. Now that he has met Feng Ziying, a famous person who has been in and out of the cabinet, he naturally wants to find out the situation, so as to calm the hearts of the people in the government.

"The news published in "Today's News" is generally true. The Mongols were indeed defeated in Qian'an City for a while, but their vitality was not damaged, so they attacked the Beijing Camp in Santun Camp again..." Feng Ziying was too lazy to say too much. For specific details, I only tell the news that this group of people want to hear, "The situation in the Beijing camp is indeed very bad now. The imperial court entrusted my nephew to negotiate with the Mongols regarding the prisoners. The details are almost there, but how to implement the conditions reached in the negotiation? It still depends on the opinion of the imperial court and the next step of communication with the Mongols..."

"Oh? My nephew really negotiated face to face with the leader of the Mongols? Those Mongols are not easy to get along with. Isn't my nephew afraid that they will suddenly turn against each other?"

Even though Jia She and Jia Zheng are a lot older, he can be regarded as a character who has seen the world. After hearing Feng Ziying personally interviewing the Mongolian leader, he still couldn't help but feel like gossiping and asked in a deep voice.

"My nephew is naturally prepared. We agreed at the beginning not to bring weapons. Even the attendants and guards can only stay at a certain distance. Only a few people can enter. If they really want to turn against each other, the Mongols may not be able to take over. It’s cheap, and both sides have been verified. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to do this.” Feng Ziying explained with a smile, “Actually, you don’t have to think of the Mongols as so dangerous. Two years ago, my nephew went to Ningxia to quell the rebellion, and it was the same. I single-handedly interviewed the leader of the Tumuts, but this time I just changed the leader of the Inner Khalkhas, there is no difference."

Jia She Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and even Jia Lan were all sighing and sighing. They all felt that although Feng Ziying said so, who else would be so brave and courageous to meet with the Mongolian leader? Maybe with a flick of the wine glass, either the swordsmen and axes will pour out and join the crowd, or the archers will fire thousands of arrows into a hornet's nest.

Several people looked at Feng Ziying with something a little more unusual. Before, it was just hearsay, but now Feng Ziying personally talked about face-to-face negotiations with the enemy chief of Mongolia. Such an exciting and exciting scene actually happened to the people around him, which made several people. Everyone feels a bit proud.

“My wise nephew is indeed a general’s tiger. Such a formation is comparable to the Hongmen Banquet. I’m afraid ordinary generals may not have the courage to do it.” Jia Zheng couldn’t help but be filled with emotion, and looked at Feng Ziying with more and more complicated eyes.

The future of this son is limitless, and he can be expected to be a general and a good minister. If he had promised the third girl to him early, or if Yuanchun had not entered the palace to marry him, wouldn't it be the biggest help for the Jia family in the future?

But now it's too late to regret it. Jia Zheng thought about it. Hearing from Brother Huan that the third girl has a lot of affection for Feng Ziying, judging from Feng Ziying's current situation, I'm afraid that she will be in high gear in a year or two. In this way, Tan Yatou Even if you promise to be his concubine, it doesn't seem like you have insulted the Jia family, right?

This thought together made Jia Zheng a little excited and a little ashamed.

 In the past, even when Wang Ziteng mentioned it, he was extremely angry and thought it was appropriate to insult the family, but now things are a little different.

Watching Feng Ziying's rapid rise, Xue Baochai of the Xue family, and Lin Daiyu of the Lin family were able to take this opportunity to jump into the dragon's gate. However, the Jia family could only rely on their two daughters to establish relationships, but he was far inferior to his brother in this regard. So snobbish and enthusiastic, but starting from the future of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion, and considering the future of Baoyu in the future, if Feng Ziying can be firmly tied up, Tan Yatou can get what she wants, and the Jia family and Baoyu can also have someone to rely on. It was a good thing that the two opinions were almost perfect, and he was naturally happy to see it happen.

But Jia Zheng also knows that there are still some obstacles here.

 The first is to explore the girl's side.

Although Tan Yatou really has some affection for Feng Ziying as Brother Huan said, but looking at the ordinary companions Bao Yatou and Lin Yatou, they are both real wives, and even the little-known Xue Baoqin is a concubine, but she wants to To be a concubine, I'm afraid I feel a little hard to get through this hurdle.

 The second one is Feng Ziying.

I'm afraid Feng Ziying has never thought about this matter, and I don't know what Feng Ziying thinks when it is mentioned suddenly.

 Third, we must take into account the face of the whole family.

It is not a glorious thing for Miss Jia to be a concubine. Even though Feng Ziying is great and has a growing reputation, she is only a fifth-rank official and is still in another city.

The feelings between Beijing officials and local officials from other places are very different in the minds of the people in the capital city. If Feng Ziying is still an official in the capital, it will undoubtedly make the people in the government more accepting. Thinking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but think, I don’t know if Feng Ziying can be transferred back to Beijing within a year or two?

Three updates, please vote for me!
