Chapter 135 Volume B: The morning dew awaits the sun, the Xue family, the Jia family (three in one 10,000-word update!)

On the way home, Yun Shang felt that the young master was a little absent-minded and listless while riding. It seemed that the rich and exciting experience of the trip to Dahuguo Temple had exhausted the young master's energy and made him feel a little sleepy. .

　It wasn’t until lunch was finished that Feng Ziying slowly regained her composure.

 There were really too many things that happened this morning. It was nice to improvise on the spot, but there were many more things to follow.

　　　Go back and report to the mountain chief and the commander-in-chief that you have made a "snap-and-dry decision" or that you have overstepped your authority.

Originally it was just an invitation to give lectures, but suddenly it was upgraded to a discussion and exchange between the North and South Colleges, and it was even vaguely a level of a competition. Even Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen did not dare to settle down easily.

It's just that Yang Sichang can't wait to report back to Chongzheng Academy, and the Vineyard Debate that many people may not understand in the morning will probably start to spread in the capital in the afternoon. This kind of thing is the most popular in the capital. The preferences of a bunch of idle citizens in the city will probably become the best topic of conversation for many people after dinner in the evening.

 But for myself, there is no loss, or even only gain.

People with low starting points take advantage of this. No matter how noisy their trip to Shandong is, everyone at most thinks that they are brave. Going to Qingtan Academy to study will only attract the attention of some scholars. I guess Most people think that this is just a reward from Qiao Yingjia, so that he can earn a good reputation as a good scholar.

But after this morning's operation in the vineyard, no one would simply regard him as a brave martial arts disciple anymore.

Being able to get a tie or even the upper hand in the debate with Yang Wenruo and the Hou brothers, no matter what topic is discussed or argued, is a step to establish his status among the scholars in the North.

 This step can be called marble, even made of flower stone.

Feng Ziying is really not sure whether reaching such a high level will be good or bad for his next development. But at this point, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

Xue Jun finally entered Beijing.

I sent the post, and Feng Tang met with me and discussed it.

But the negotiation probably didn’t go well. Feng Ziying guessed that Xue Jun was not satisfied with her father’s “talent” in making a living, so he never came to visit him again.

However, Xue Jun left news about his residence in Beijing, probably waiting for his visit.

To be honest, Feng Ziying is not very optimistic about her father's business skills. Looking at some of his businesses in Jingzhong and Datong, they are basically industries that appear to be profitable due to droughts and floods, but in fact have extremely low returns.

According to modern asset allocation rules, a family's asset allocation should be classified according to risk and return, high, medium and low. Allocating a certain proportion is the best wealth combination. However, the Feng family obviously directly follows the low risk and low return category. , or it is a high-risk, high-yield business that Feng Ziying herself is still not clear about, such as what Yunshang said her cousin and Uncle You went to make a living outside the Great Wall.

Although times are different, Feng Ziying feels that this kind of thinking should not change much, unless you can rely on the power in your hands to pursue low-risk and high-yield businesses, but this kind of business often involves greater risks, but it is not. It will just show up within a certain period of time.

Even if you make a living like being an emperor, it may be a high-risk and high-return industry. It depends on how you operate it.

"Sit down, Ziying, if you don't come, I'm really going to go back to Jinling." Xue Jun was very happy to see Feng Ziying coming to the door, and invited Feng Ziying into the room to sit down.

I have the impression that the Xue family came to Beijing in the past year or two, but now it seems that at least Xue Jun did not buy a mansion in the capital, and the small courtyard where Xue Jun lived was probably rented temporarily.

Xue Jun was wearing a purple casual robe. The jade ring between his fingers looked like some old antiques. Although his brows were a little gloomy, he was in good spirits.

Feng Ziying couldn't tell what the relationship between Xue Jun's room and his brother's room was, but judging from the description in the book, the relationship between the two rooms in the Xue family should be very ordinary. It was impossible to see the relationship between Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin. What a close relationship there is, not even as close as the relationship between Xue Baochai and several sisters of the Jia family.

"Uncle should know that my nephew has gone to the academy to study. Since he has only been there for a month, it is not easy for him to ask for leave. He will take a day off and come back." Feng Ziying smiled and held the tea cup with both hands and took a sip, " Uncle has been staying in Shandong for a long time, right? How is the situation there? "

"Well, Uncle Yu stayed in Linqing, Dongchangfu, and Dezhou for about ten days respectively, and then returned to Jining, so after more than a month of going back and forth, it took less than ten days to arrive in Beijing. " We seize this opportunity to sell cargo, and the canal is almost full with the canals heading north."

Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter. The tax supervisory matter has not yet recovered, but Feng Ziying knew that it would definitely recover. No one can stop the emperor's determination, unless a way can be found to make up for the gap in the pay gap of the nine-sided army, but there is obviously no such way now. .

However, Feng Ziying estimates that although the tax supervision will be restored, the emperor may make some adjustments in the number of tax supervision personnel assigned.

Shandong’s status is not as good as other places. If such a flag is raised again, I’m afraid we may not have such good luck.

 Once water transportation is interrupted and Shandong erodes, it will be an unbearable burden for the Zhou Dynasty.

 The Ming Dynasty was overthrown by the Zhou Dynasty. It was largely due to the rebellion in Shandong that the situation in the entire Northland was irreversible. This lesson is profound.

"Uncle, the tax supervisor will definitely be reinstated. No one can change this situation." Feng Ziying poured cold water on Xue Jun with certainty.

Xue Jun was obviously aware of this. He gently twisted the jade ring with his fingers, but his eyes seemed to be thinking about something: "My dear nephew, do you think the situation in Shandong will evolve into the same state as before?"

"My uncle must have known about it. That's unlikely. The court, well, the emperor will definitely consider it. In fact, the amount actually taken back to the emperor to support the nine-border military pay is probably less than one-tenth. That Chang My father-in-law has behaved so evilly, and the results will probably come out soon."

Feng Ziying's words finally made Xue Jun feel relieved and nodded: "I'm afraid my nephew knows what Uncle Yu is thinking, but I went to visit your father a few days ago, and it seems..."

"My father is not very familiar with this kind of business, and he may soon resume his overseas duties, so my nephew is responsible for this matter." Feng Ziying responded calmly.

Xue Jun nodded with satisfaction. If he really cooperated with Feng Tang, Xue Jun would be worried.

Although Feng Ziying is young, Xue Jun feels that he is simply more calm and sophisticated than those veterans who have been in this business for many years, and his insights into these businesses are also quite insightful.

"Then Uncle Yu opened the sky and spoke frankly. Uncle Yu intends to cooperate with you and open two jewelry shops in Dongchang Mansion and Linqing Zhoucheng. They will still use the Fengrunxiang brand. In addition, they can also rely on Fengrunxiang to open a **** shop. ,..." Xue Jun said while observing the changes in Feng Ziying's facial expressions.

As he expected, when he mentioned the **** shop, the other party frowned, obviously not agreeing with the idea of ​​opening a **** shop, which made Xue Jun feel relieved.

This shows that this son does not want to get involved in these professions that easily breed disputes, and it also shows that this son is probably serious about studying at Qingtan Academy.

If you really hang out in the Imperial College, then you don't have to care about the **** business at all. Everyone knows that this business is highly profitable, so many noble military generals are willing to run this kind of business, but Feng Ziying is not willing, which shows that this son cherishes his own feathers.

 This is a good thing, and it will make it easier for the Xue family to cooperate with them.

"Uncle, my nephew thinks it is more appropriate to focus on the jewelry store now." Feng Ziying put forward her own opinion, "Originally, my idea was to open a store in Dongchang Mansion or Linqing Prefecture City as a trial, but if uncle It’s okay to think that if you have sufficient manpower, you can open two at the same time. After all, opening two at the same time will also help to enhance the confidence of the guests..."

Xue Jun nodded slightly.

He also considered this. The Xue family was not familiar with the place in Shandong. Even though Fengrunxiang had some reputation, it was still in Jiangnan, not Shandong, so he wanted to create as much momentum as possible, and it would be easier to attract guests and reassure them.

“Xiannephew, you mean pawn...” Xue Jun still respected Feng Ziying’s opinion. At this time, he did not regard Feng Ziying as a thirteen-year-old boy at all.

"We won't open it for the time being. Let's concentrate on the jewelry store first and build up the reputation of Fengrunxiang." Feng Ziying was very determined. "The market in Shandong is not small, and the area along the canal is the richest. Even though it is not as good as Jiangnan, it is definitely It is considered a fertile land in the North. Fengrunxiang has a famous brand and craftsmanship, but what it lacks is personal connections and credibility. On this point, the Feng family can endorse Fengrunxiang!"

 Straight to the point, straight to the point, it’s that direct.

Since it is a business cooperation, there is no need to be secretive. Everyone gets what they need and does what they can. It's that simple.

  What resources the Feng family can provide, and what assets the Xue family can provide, if an agreement can be reached, the rest is the specific operation.

Xue Jun also admired Feng Ziying's frankness. The more it was like this, it meant that the other party had carefully considered and prepared it. The kind of mysterious and mysterious means was meaningless in front of a sophisticated person like him.

"In this case, does the wise nephew have any strategies?" These few words alone are not enough. Xue Jun also needs to hear what Feng Ziying has to say.

This jewelry business is a long-term livelihood. Once a cooperation is confirmed, if they separate in the future, it will hurt both sides. Therefore, Xue Jun must strive to be safe. Otherwise, he will not spend more than a month inspecting the market.

Feng Ziying naturally knows that businessmen like Xue Jun do not recognize themselves so easily. There is a process for this.

To be honest, I have more confidence. After all, the manpower, experience and craftsmanship are all in the hands of the other party. Even if I don't cooperate with the Feng family, I can still find cooperation with other famous families in Shandong.

　　No one will have a hard time with Yinzi. Even if those famous families have to worry about their reputation, they can still cooperate through some invisible channels, and they can still cooperate happily.

"Uncle, I do have some considerations, and you may have learned something about it. The Feng family is still reasonable in Linqing, but the connections in Dongchang Mansion need to be worked hard to stabilize." Feng Ziying said frankly.

This is also in line with what Xue Jun learned and obtained. Feng Ziying's frankness still surprised him.

"But now there is an opportunity. The new governor of Dongchang Prefecture, Shen Jue, admires my nephew very much, and he also gets along well with Mr. Qiao. They are in the same class. My nephew plans to visit Linqing and Dongchang Prefecture next spring. , I already said hello to Uncle Shen this morning,..."

 Half-truths and half-falsehoods, but generally true.

Xue Jun was overjoyed by the news about Feng Ziying.

Linqing Prefecture is a prefecture under Dongchang Prefecture. Although Linqing Prefecture is relatively special due to its geographical location, in terms of administrative power, it is undoubtedly under the jurisdiction of Dongchang Prefecture.

』

"My nephew's idea is that Linqing can be set up first. My nephew will ask my father to arrange for people to arrange things with Zhang Zhizhou of Linqing Prefecture first, including the three Linqing families, as well as local merchant families such as the Tao family and the Xi family. The Shanshan Guild Hall will be connected first. As for the Dongchang Mansion, preparations can be made first. After my nephew Dongchang and his party arrive in the spring of next year, they will start to build a grand momentum..."

Xue Jun thought briefly and agreed to Feng Ziying's suggestion.

The preparation itself cannot be done in three or five days. It involves renting and purchasing stores, arranging employees, and more importantly, starting to proactively contact relevant customer groups. These are all very delicate and tedious tasks that cannot be done. There is a slight negligence.

·To do these things, we must do our best and be meticulous. This is also the key to building a brand first.

The two of them discussed some more specific matters, which made Xue Jun feel more and more mysterious about the young man in front of him.

How can this little guy know so much about the details of business at such a young age?

It would be fine if this guy really comes from a merchant family. He is a descendant of Wu Xun and is still studying hard at the famous Qingtan Academy. He can still think about this, which is shocking.

 Fortunately, this is his collaborator. Maybe some people are born geniuses and can master everything. Xue Jun can only explain it to comfort himself in this way.

 After talking about the main business, it was natural to talk about our respective situations.

Xue Jun also talked about the current situation of the Xue family.

"My sister-in-law is from a womanly family. When my brother was still there, she could still manage to maintain it. But since my brother passed away, Uncle Yu's nephew has become a little out of control and is unseemly... Fortunately, my niece is still doing well. He is sensible and can help his sister-in-law take care of some things at home..."

That would be Xue Baochai. Feng Ziying was too embarrassed to ask her about Xue Baochai's age. Calculated, she should be about the same age as herself. The incompetent nephew was naturally Xue Pan.

The conversation ended with a sigh.

 The next step is to discuss the specific cooperation matters. Xue Jun also has manpower here. He has already sent a letter to recruit people from the south. It depends on who will be responsible for Feng Ziying.

"You made such a big decision on your own? You didn't even discuss it with us?" Sitting in the chair, Feng Tang looked at Feng Ziying with a complicated expression. There were Duan and Xiao Duan next to him.

“Dad, how long can you stay in Beijing?” Feng Ziying did not answer, but asked the core directly.

 After suffocating, Feng Tang was not too embarrassed, "It's hard to say now, I guess it will be after the year, but..."

"Dad, since you don't have much energy to ask about this matter, do you and your mother-in-law think there is anything wrong or omitted in the situations I introduced earlier?" Feng Ziying was very calm, sitting upright, holding her hands on On the armrest of the official hat chair.

Feng Tang exchanged glances with Duan and Duan, and finally sighed and shook his head: "Brother Keng, you did a very good job, but I think that since you have made up your mind to participate in Qiuwei the year after next, you shouldn't If you are distracted by these things, your family still has some financial resources, so it’s not like..."

"Father, mother, aunt, if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. The Feng family is not a small family. In the morning, my son met Mr. Shen who was about to be appointed as the governor of Dongchang Prefecture at Dahuguo Temple. He also asked about our Feng family. The son was almost speechless due to the situation. The Feng family, as one of the three Linqing families, had a tendency to become empty-handed. This would not work. The northern branch of the Feng family, which the son and his family had mentioned before, needed to be revitalized. It was not just a whim. Let’s start now,…”

"Uncle You can go ahead and take a stand. If possible, my son suggested that dad take advantage of the period before and after the New Year to go back to Linqing. The Zhou family and the Ren family will naturally have to go around. The Zhou family has people in the capital and Nanjing. Official, this relationship needs to be maintained, even closer. The Ren family has many connections in Dongchang Mansion, so it must be maintained; both the state and Dongchang Mansion have to visit and arrange suitable people first. The ancestral home should be expanded and repaired, and the clan school should be built as soon as possible..."

 Calm but unquestionable, this is how Feng Ziying's attitude gave Feng Tang at this time.

 Not confused, but still feeling a little strange.

 After such a long time, he has gradually adapted to his son's huge changes.

It's just that today's attitude is different. He seems to be taking over the entire Feng family, which makes him a little uncomfortable again.

"Brother Keng, uh, you have to study, these things..." Feng Tang glanced at Duan, who was also a little confused, and smiled bitterly.

It seems that my wife can’t accept it, even if it’s the flesh that fell off her body, and she’s the legitimate son, but this…, your age is too inappropriate, right?

"Dad, my son didn't say that he wanted to go and inquire about these matters in person. In fact, my son and his uncle Xue family have just discussed it. There is still a process. If my cousin can spare time, he can participate in it. Such a big business , maybe the future will be the foundation of our Feng family in Shandong."

Feng Ziying naturally understands the thoughts of her father and mother. In their view, since she has made up her mind to study, she should not be distracted. Being able to read books is naturally a blessing. That is the foundation for the development of the Feng family in the future, which is far better than Make a living in this kind of business.

Of course Feng Ziying also understands this truth, but he will not underestimate the huge support ability of a stable livelihood for a family, especially now that the northern branch of the Feng family can be said to be in decline, if you don't cultivate more people, including those who can take scientific examinations, With talented people coming out, how can your Feng family prosper?

Feng Ziying is not that naive to place her hopes solely on the so-called like-minded people in academies, examination halls or future officialdom.

 Experience in his previous life made him very clear that many persistences would collapse under the temptation of huge interests, so he would never put his eggs in one basket, and the Feng family's ability to maintain it was indispensable.

In this era, people in officialdom can betray their beliefs, ignore friendships, and even downplay and ignore the three tongs, but there are really not many people who betray their family.

  Because this is a major plan related to his descendants. Unless it is forced to change the world, it can be said that there is really not much that can defeat the power of this bloodline clan.

Feng Tang sighed deeply. Does his son's being too capable also put pressure on himself as a father?

He felt more and more that he should get up early, so as not to be idle at home and feel ashamed watching his son causing trouble all day long.

"Madam, Brother Keng has already made a plan. How about letting Xigui take over first? I think this can still be done." Feng Tang could only choose to support it, because there was no reason not to support it.

The only way to make money is to have some connections in your family. A trip to Shandong is a good way to relax your muscles, so as not to stay in Beijing all the time. As Brother Keng said, the Feng family cannot decline in his hands. With the right time, right place and the right people, there is no reason why the Feng family should not develop and prosper.

Mrs. Duan is even more confused. She is also thinking about considering the Jia family's marriage for her son. Now that her son has such ideas, even her husband can only obey her. Can he listen to her?

 She felt increasingly unsure.

 But again, everything else can be compromised, except for the important matter of marriage, she must make the decision.

 This is related to the continuation of the Feng family's incense.

"Brother Keng, since your father has agreed, my mother will not stop you. If you have no intention, then let Xigui go and deal with the Xue family. Well, Master, what Brother Keng said is right. Feng With such a big family in Linqing, we can always find a few people who can do things. If you want to go there, you might as well choose one. I don’t want the Feng family to poke my spine in the future. He said that I would only use members of our Duan family as my concubine..."

Feng Ziying finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and saluted, "Thank you, dad, mom, and aunt."

He knew that the problem in this matter was not with his father. Sooner or later, his father would have to leave home. My mother was in charge of the family affairs, so he was afraid that she would not agree. Now that she had agreed, he was relieved.

"However, brother Keng, you are also thirteen this year. Mom knows that you want to study, but she still has to talk about this marriage first. What if your father is going to be sent away in a year, and I don't know how many years he will be away. So here we go, mother will look for you first, and if it’s suitable, then we’ll make a decision.”

This was probably a condition of exchange. Feng Ziying looked bitter, but when she saw her mother's unkind expression, she knew that this was not the time to argue.

 But at least I want to ask for my own opinion. This is a good sign. Before, this was simply unimaginable.

"Mom, let's stop talking about this matter. My son doesn't have the heart to think about it now. If there is a suitable one, we might as well put it until the autumn of next year." As soon as Feng Ziying said the words, he suddenly remembered the incident this morning in his mind. The wind blows the beautiful face behind the gauze curtain that is both angry and happy.

　　******

When Feng Ziying walked towards Qingtan Academy in the western suburbs at dusk, the scene of "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu" in the Dahuguo Temple in the morning, and then evolved into "Judging Heroes by Arms", has been spread by some thoughtful people intentionally or unintentionally. Next, it began to spread among specific groups of people inside and outside the capital city.

The ones that Feng Ziying promoted the most were naturally the few Imperial College students.

 The reputation of Imperial College students in the Zhou Dynasty has been bad in recent years. The vast majority of Imperial College Imperial College students now do not go to Beijing to study, but study directly in local academies.

Even in the great competition of Chinese style in autumn and spring, these people rarely mentioned that they were students of the Imperial College, which made the status of the Imperial College even more embarrassing.

Of course, for many people who have failed to study and want to become officials, this is still a path.

It's just that since you are taking this road to seek an official position, don't worry about your reputation. Compared with the imperial examinations or even the real Jinshi, you must be a scumbag. You are a person with your tail between your legs, and you are just a miscellaneous official. Just eat.

However, people are all face-loving, and the Imperial College students are also "students", aren't they? You also have to wear a Confucian shirt and swing a folding fan, and you are considered a scholar, and you can also have an official status. Even though you are inferior to others, you still have to be particular on the surface, and most of these people have some connections and family resources, or in other words, some connections. background.

Feng Ziying frankly stated in front of everyone that she was the imperial eunuch, and also the eunuch, and she did not shy away from clarifying the reasons for the **** system of the imperial court. This made the eunuchs feel extremely happy.

He has always been discriminated against everywhere. This time, the supervisor finally raised his eyebrows.

A supervisor, well, of course they selectively forgot that this supervisor had gone to Qingtan Academy to study. A supervisor and one of the three most famous talents in the capital - Yang Sichang, the leader of Chongzheng Academy, and the Hou brothers, were in college. In the Huguo Temple, they argued eloquently and did not fall behind in the slightest.

How glorious it is to finally be able to let the guys from Chongzheng Academy who usually don’t pay attention to the Imperial College students shake hands with one of the Imperial College students, or even hold hands and talk happily!

Jia Zheng got the news when he returned home and chatted with the guests in the mansion. He didn't know until Fu Shi came to visit.

Jia Zheng naturally treated Fu Shi differently, and he did not avoid Fu Shi even when chatting with the guests at home.

“You mean that the elder of the Feng family argued weakly with Yang Wen for half an hour in the Dahuguo Temple?”

Jia Zheng had also heard of Yang Sichang and Yang Wenruo. He was the chief talent of Chongzheng Academy. He was only seventeen years old, but he had already booked a seat in the Three Tripods of Chunwei in the lower school. No matter how unlucky he was, he would be among the Shujishi, and His father was also the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and was a backbone figure among the civil servants of the imperial court.

"Yes, it is said that there are Hou brothers." Fu Shi raised the teacup and took a sip rather reservedly. The whiskers on his lips were combed particularly neatly. Then he put it down and said, "Is Cun Zhougong aware of the Hou brothers, right? Ministry of Rites Yuanwai Lang Hou Bitang's two sons, one is fifteen years old and the other is thirteen years old. The elder brother Hou Xun has passed the provincial examination last year and has not performed well in Chunwei this spring. It is said that Chunwei is also determined to win the junior college, and his younger brother Hou Ke is even more impressive. He also promised to win the first prize in the autumn of the next year and the spring of Xia Ke..."

Jia Zheng was greatly surprised. Thinking back to what his brother-in-law said a few days ago, he became increasingly uncomfortable, "Zitong, where did you learn about this? Why is it so bizarre?"

"Strange?" Fu Shi didn't come back to his senses and was stunned for a moment, "Cun Zhougong, dozens of people have seen this with their own eyes, so how can you say it's strange?"

Jia Zheng suppressed the irritability in his heart and said slowly: "Zitong, then the Feng family and our Jia family can be considered to be well connected. How come I don't know the situation of his family? Then Feng Tang is a martial artist at most. Even if he can read a few words, I would believe him if he was said to be brave and courageous. However, it would be untrue to say that he has many literary talents and is a good reader. Taking a step back, even if he is He is a keen student, but he has been transformed after just a month at Qingtan Academy? Wasn't Qiu Wei and Chun Wei opened for the Qingtan Academy family?"

Fu Shi has been following his master for some time. Although he can't talk about teaching and solving doubts, Jia Zheng still helped him a lot. A scholar could actually be a miscellaneous official in Shuntian Mansion. If it weren't for the Jia family The background is absolutely impossible.

He also heard that Jia Zheng was in a bad mood, but he didn't know why Duke Zhou was so unhappy since the Feng family and the Jia family were close friends.

However, he is also a clever person. Seeing that the few Qingqing around him were silent, he immediately came to his senses. He was afraid that Duke Cun Zhou would think of his own jade, so the comparison would be harmful, and he would not feel happy.

Smiling, Fu Shi said disapprovingly: "Cun Zhougong, I heard that the Feng family's elder man is quite quick-witted, but his knowledge of classics and theory is shallow. Arguing with Yang Wenruo may not necessarily prove how good a literary talent he is. It’s just a matter of words.”

“Yes, Brother Zitong is right. In the autumn, spring, and Dabin, heroes must be judged based on the merits of the scriptures. The second brother is extremely talented. Given time, he will be able to win the title of Toad Palace,..."

The Qing guest Zhan Guang also came with his mouth open. Although Fu Shi also intended to flatter him, if he was asked to say that Jia Baoyu could win the title without conscience or bottom line, it would be a bit hard to say.

Jia Zheng wanted to save face after all. Hearing his Qingke's praise of his son, he quickly waved his hands.

"That evil boy is not a material for studying, and he was born in vain. But as the Jia family is a hairpin tassel family, it must have some dignity, so I also intend to hire a private school teacher who has some knowledge in classics to teach him well. , if we can make some progress in the future, we will be worthy of the ancestors of the Jia family."

 The news brought by Fu Shi indeed greatly stimulated Jia Zheng.

The brother-in-law's words still lingered in his ears. He had not yet found a suitable opportunity to reply to his mother about letting Baoyu go to school, but he was determined to resolve the matter.

This time, studying can no longer be like the current three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. The teacher also follows his temper to read and leave when he wants. Rather than doing this, it is better not to read.

Thinking of what Baoyu would be like in the future if he didn't study, whether he would spend his whole life hanging around in a pile of makeup and powder like Brother Rong from Dongfu, Jia Zheng couldn't help but strengthen his determination. Even if his mother was displeased, this matter would definitely happen. To do.

Jia Zheng couldn't help but feel a little entangled again from the association of the Feng family's elder man with the marriage of the three girls mentioned by his brother-in-law.

If the Feng family man is really that capable, then he might as well think about it. However, my wife asked about it when she came back from her parents' house the day before yesterday, and she seemed to think it was quite good.

　　************

"Sister, what are you talking about? That the eldest brother of the Feng family and Yang Wenruo are defending the Great Huguo Temple?" Jia Baoyu's big face turned red, and his eyes showed a look of disbelief. "How is it possible? That Yang Wenruo is Many people say that he is descended from Wenquxing. I don’t believe this, but he must have some ability. How can He De, the eldest brother of the Feng family..."

Before the words left her mouth, she saw Sister Lin's face suddenly darkening. She was shocked in her heart and quickly said, "No, I mean, Brother Feng has only been to Qingtan Academy for a few days. How can he be so talkative with Yang Wen?" Arguing? If there is no enmity between the two of them, how can they come together..."

"Believe it or not, the little sister didn't see this alone, the third sister also saw it with her own eyes. Besides, there were dozens of people around, many of whom were academy students in the capital city. How could they still recognize it? Not as good as Yang Wenruo?"

Lin Daiyu shrugged her nose contemptuously, but turned her face to one side.

She doesn't want to argue with the other party about this matter at all. It's meaningless. It doesn't matter whether it's happening or not. What does it have to do with you, Mr. Bao?

 Perhaps you think that Brother Feng is so capable, so you are ready to work hard to get stronger? She didn't believe it at all.

Jia Baoyu stood aside and didn't know what to do. His face turned red and white.

He didn't understand, why did Sister Lin think that everything about the Feng family man was really right?

Whatever he said was wrong. The expression and gesture of caring, not caring, believing or not really made him feel uncomfortable and panicked.

How has Jia Baoyu ever suffered such grievances in this Jia Mansion?

I want to have an attack, but I can't find a suitable reason. Secondly, I am really worried about what I will do if Sister Lin ignores me even more after the attack.

Seeing Sister Lin's casual words made the second brother upset, and he blushed and wanted to explain. However, Sister Lin's indifferent attitude of doing everything and doing whatever you say made the second brother even more angry.

"Second brother, we did happen to see this thing when we went to Dahuguo Temple today. It was not just Yang Wenruo, but also several others." Tan Chun could only explain patiently: "What are they arguing about?" Sister Lin and I were so far apart that we couldn't hear clearly. It seemed like it was about the academy's lectures or something. Anyway, we had a fierce fight, but I don't know why we shook hands and made peace later..."

Seeing that the second brother's face was getting worse and worse, Tanchun had no choice.

You want to pester Sister Lin, but you don’t know what to say to Sister Lin, so that’s fine. Just say yes to what Sister Lin says, and then we’ll end it, right?

 You always have to contradict Sister Lin. With Sister Lin’s arrogant temperament, how can she spoil you?

As for Brother Feng, just listen to it. Why bother to argue with her? From her observation, Brother Feng really seemed to treat Sister Lin as a little sister, while Brother Bao was sometimes a little too petty.

“Humph, Brother Feng must be the one to provoke me. Yang Wenqiang is not as knowledgeable as him. In the end, he can’t argue with me, so he has to admit defeat.”

Jia Baoyu knew that saying these words would only make Sister Lin angry again, but if he didn't say it out, he would feel so uncomfortable that he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

"Brother Feng and I also had a drink. He has a good temper, but I really don't think there is anything special about him as a literary talent. So Yang Wenruo is so famous in the capital city, how can it be that his reputation is in vain? People I definitely don’t have the same experience as him,…”

Lin Daiyu was immediately annoyed, why is this second brother Bao so boring? Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't say a few words?

The willow eyebrows stood up, and he was about to have an attack, but thinking that this was the Jia family after all, Brother Feng also repeatedly reminded himself not to lose his temper, so he suppressed his anger and said lukewarmly: "That's right, Brother Feng just went to the academy. , how can you beat the famous Yang Wenruo? But I feel that at least Brother Feng still has the courage to argue with Yang Wenruo, unlike some people who only play around at home..."

As soon as these words came out, Tanchun knew something was going to happen. He saw the big-faced man standing up with a roar, his eyes burning, and his chest rising and falling rapidly.

"I know that my sister looks down on me. Everyone in this family is nice to me on the surface, but in fact they laugh at me behind my back. I also look down on myself. People in the house also say that I was born with a jade in my mouth. How can I be blessed? What does this piece of jade mean to me? I simply don’t want this piece of jade, and everyone will be clean after throwing it away..."

　　I suddenly pulled off the piece of jade from my neck, my big face flushed red, I walked a few steps into the hall where there was no carpet, I raised it high and was about to throw it down.

Lin Daiyu was also shocked. Brother Feng said that this second brother Bao liked throwing jade the most, so he had to guard against it. Why did he forget this incident today?

Tan Chun was also so frightened that his face turned pale, and he was in a hurry to grab the jade, but he heard the sound of Mingyan outside the hall suddenly: "Second Master, Second Master, it's not good, I asked you to come over immediately, your face is so ugly!"

Like a goose that was about to sing a song, someone suddenly grabbed it by the neck. The big face turned from red to white in an instant, and the hand that was holding the jade that was about to fall fell limply: "Do you know why?"

“Back to the second master, I heard that I was in a bad mood after Mr. Fu came back to talk about the debate in Dahuguo Temple today,...”

With a thud, Jia Baoyu fell onto the chair next to the door as if she had lost her soul.
