Chapter 1455 Xin Zijuan’s evil guest

“How long have you been here?” Feng Ziying signaled the carriage to stop, and the guards on both sides also stopped.

"He has been here for more than an hour. The concierge told him that the uncle is busy with official duties and doesn't know when he will be back. However, Mr. She refused to leave and had to wait until the uncle said that he had something important to discuss."

Baoxiang was also very helpless. They were tired of the eldest man of Rongguo Mansion but did not dare to offend him.

As Feng Ziying’s closest confidants, they naturally knew that Jia She’s daughter might be joining the family as her aunt in the future, so how could they dare to offend her so easily? Although the second girl has a docile temperament, Mr. She is her biological father after all, so he must be treated lightly no matter what.

“It seems like I won’t be able to go home if I don’t see him today?” Feng Ziying laughed to herself, “That’s fine,...”

"Uncle, not only Master She, but also Miss Yuanyang and another girl are also outside the door. They have been waiting for a long time." Baoxiang said quickly: "Because Master She refused to leave, the younger ones had no choice but to let him in." Waiting in the waiting room in the outer courtyard, Miss Yuanyang wanted to invite them in, but when they heard that Mr. She was inside, they refused to go, so they waited on the carriage outside the door. "

"Oh?" Feng Ziying was startled, then frowned, "Besides Yuanyang, there is another person? You don't know him?"

In this Rongguo Mansion, Baoxiang may not be familiar to everyone, but at least everyone should be familiar with the master and his servants. Why is there Baoxiang who doesn't know him?

"Well, I don't think I've seen her before. She wore a cloak, covering half of her face, and lowered her head, so I can't see her clearly. But she probably hasn't seen her before, or she's not from Rong Ning's second house." Baoxiang nodded firmly.

 Refuse to meet Jia She? Although Yuanyang didn't want to see Jia She, he wasn't so taboo, right?

Feng Ziying was a little puzzled. Or was there some taboo about the identity of the other person?

Feng Ziying was a little confused. Whose identity could not see Jia She?

 Not from the Jia family?

There are many people who come to Feng Ziying's house to visit, but they generally abide by the rules. Unless there are special circumstances, Feng Ziying will not see visitors after Haishi. At most, he will put down the post and wait for notification.

Of course, if someone like Jia She doesn't follow the rules, Feng Ziying can't do anything about it. After all, he is an elder, and he has the relationship of Yingchun.

Yuanyang and the others don’t want to see Jia She, what should they do? You can't meet guests outside the house, that would be too outrageous.

Feng Ziying thought for a while, "Well, Baoxiang, you go and tell Yuanyang, and I'll meet them at the Yunchuan residence..."

Baoxiang shook his head like a rattle, "Master, the younger one said the same thing before, but Miss Yuanyang and another girl refused to go to Second Grandma Bao's place..."

"Oh?" Feng Ziying was stunned. Yuanyang had always had a good relationship with Baochai and Baoqin, so why weren't they willing to go there?

Feng Ziying basically meets guests at General Shenwu's Mansion.

Because the study courtyard is here, and the outer courtyard is the reception room, so when I come back in the afternoon, I always go to General Shenwu's Mansion first, meet guests, and finish the official business as much as possible, and then have dinner with the whole family at my mother's side. , after dinner, go to Hulunhou Mansion or Yunchuan Bo Mansion to rest and stay overnight.

 If you have some important guests to meet, or if you have unfinished official business, finish dinner before continuing.

It seems that this "guest" brought by Yuanyang is really sensitive.

Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "Well, let's let Yuanyang and the others stay outside the house for a while. I'll handle the matter of pardoning the master as soon as possible before letting them in."

"Well, I'll go and talk to Miss Yuanyang now," Baoxiang replied and trotted over.

After entering the mansion, Feng Ziying went straight to the study. Jia She jumped out of the outer courtyard immediately and said, "Brother Keng, you are finally back. Uncle Fool has been waiting impatiently. There are many things in the yamen, so you should also pay attention to rest. Don’t tire yourself out, the days ahead will be long.”

Hearing this kind of hypocritical concern made Feng Ziying's scalp numb. When did Jia She actually care about his own body? Besides his own money bag, what else could he care about?

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Shi Shi. It's just that my nephew has just taken office and is not familiar with the affairs of Shuntian Mansion. There is still a process." Feng Ziying said with a smile on her face, "Uncle Shi Shi is so anxious to see my nephew. , but is there any special emergency? What happened at Rongguo Mansion? "

Jia She was stunned, but he was not embarrassed to say this and immediately shook his head: "Everything is going well in the house. I met Lin Yatou yesterday and talked to her for a few words. I saw that Lin Yatou's complexion is getting better and better. Next year she will be devoted to filial piety." When the term is over, it’s time to talk about the marriage. I’ll ask your two aunts to make arrangements by then, and it will be a happy one..."

Feng Ziying didn't expect that Jia She was also quick-witted, so she casually brought up Lin Daiyu's marriage, making it difficult to say the two insinuations she originally wanted to say.

“It’s thanks to Shibo’s usual care and concern that Sister Lin is in a happy mood and her health is much better.” Feng Ziying said calmly.

Jia She smiled brightly, stroking his beard and nodding his head repeatedly.

Although he is very confident on the surface and dares to speak openly when facing Feng Ziying, on the inside he is more and more in awe of Feng Ziying, but he has to come where the advantage lies.

 When someone came to the door, he was originally unwilling to get involved, but the price they offered was too high.

Jia She also knows that it is the easiest way to arrest people in this kind of thing. Although the case sounds scary, the people who want to arrest are just insignificant people.

He also inquired about the market situation, and there was even a precedent before. He paid money with one hand and let people go with the other. As long as he made an agreement with Feng Ziying, it was a matter of his words.

The most hateful thing is that the warden of Shuntian Prefecture, named Hu, has a better attitude than anyone else, but when it comes to business, he just cares about the left and right. He has had two meals of wine and wine, but Xiao Jing refuses to accept it, which makes him I didn’t want to find Feng Ziying, but I had to come.

Jia She also understood that this kind of favor would become thinner the more it was used, and this kind of favor should only be used when it is most critical.

Feng Ziying does not owe the Jia family. On the contrary, the Jia family owes the Feng family and owes Feng Ziying too much.

Lin Yatou’s hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, the livelihood of his eldest son Jia Lian, the studies of Jia Huan, Jia Lan and his concubine Jia Cong, and he even vaguely knew that even the eldest girls in the palace seemed to be related to Feng Ziying, but her mother There was a tight quarrel with the second eldest son, Wang, and he only knew this, but he must have wanted something from Feng Ziying.

Although there is a relationship like Lin Yatou, Lin Yatou is only a niece after all, and she is not married yet. Feng Ziying also takes good care of her family in the redemption of people in the capital, and she earns a lot, but who would be dissatisfied with money? How much?

These days, it’s hard to live without money. The scene in Rongguo Mansion is no different than it was ten or twenty years ago. Brother Zhu’s daughter-in-law and the housekeeper, the third girl, are increasingly in poverty, and their monthly income is only half.

Yesterday, when she was riding happily on Qiu Tong, Qiu Tong took an embroidered spring bag from under the pillow and showed it off in front of her. It was very exquisite and cost her a lot of monthly money, so she complained that now the monthly The money was only half, the rouge and gouache were cheap, the food was no longer as rich as before, even the refreshments in each room in the mansion were much less popular, and the girls and maids in the garden were gossiping.

It is estimated that this is not the maidservant of the girls in the Grand View Garden, but Qiu Tong, the little hooves, taking the opportunity to give eye drops to Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law and three girls. Jia She ignored her, but he also knew that the Rongguo Mansion was real now. Some of them can't hold on anymore.

But what does it have to do with Jia She if he can't hold on any longer?

Since the mother of the Rongguo Mansion prefers to give it to the second brother, she can let the second brother take care of it. He, Jia She, has no obligation to take care of it!

No one paid attention to the Changfang branch in the past, but now that things are difficult, they have decided to focus on themselves. No way!

My mother is already in her seventies, and seventy years are rare in ancient times. Once she passes away, the Rongguo Mansion will no longer be able to maintain itself. The only option is to divide the family. Why does Jia She have to take care of things that are not his responsibility?

Jia She also heard the news, saying that although the Rongguo government is currently financially strapped and difficult to maintain, some people have rich families and a lot of private money. At this time, it is time to share the burden and help the family. The implication of this is clearly that he refers to himself. Just Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian have reconciled and divorced, not counting Jia's family. They are either looking for a house to move out these days. Maybe they have heard the news and left quickly. This coquettish man will have to smuggle house money with him at least once he leaves. Several tens of thousands taels, right? It's a pity that there is no reason to withhold her private money.

Jia She can't leave, but if he wants to provide money to support the thousands of people in Rongguo Mansion, that's really a dream!

The more this happens, the more Jia She understands that he needs to guard his money bag. Once the Rongguo Mansion can no longer hold on, he will probably have to support the eldest branch independently after the separation. Of course, Jia Lian will also run away. If he doesn't lose it, the cost will definitely be high, so he has to watch it carefully.

It’s not enough to be careful. It’s not enough to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Look at Brother Zhu’s daughter-in-law and the third girl. How can they save money?

That’s why Jia She had to take advantage of the opportunity and try to gain from all aspects. As for face and favor, can it be used as food or clothing? Can the servants serve you in vain? Do you want to do some work for you?

As for Feng Ziying's favors, Jia She also had plans. If Sun Shaozu was interested in Shi Xiangyun, then this would be the right thing to do. Didn't Brother Keng like Er Yatou? The second girl felt aggrieved and became his concubine, so should Brother Keng be rewarded?

In addition to the money from the Sun family, he also had to make some profit. Jia She seemed to have completely forgotten about the money from the Sun family, and actually put it into his own pocket.
