Chapter 1482 Xin Zijuan Feng Tang Returns to Beijing

  Mandarin duck's words made Feng Ziying startled. After thinking about it, she felt that this possibility was not impossible.

Jia She and the Xing family belong to the kind of typical people who are not family members. He and his niece are regarded as enemies, lest they take advantage of themselves, and are always on guard.

  Of course, her two brothers are not really good things. Xing Xiuyan's father, Xing Zhong, likes to drink and gamble, and Xing's uncle, Xing Dequan, is similar.

Although the Xing family is Yingchun's aunt, but the relationship between the two is not close, and there is no blood relationship. Xing Xiuyan is still a niece, and she is from a small family. It is absolutely impossible for her to marry a high-ranking family. It is of little value to the Xing family. It makes sense, but if you make yourself a concubine, then the Xing family can use this to gain relationships and gain some benefits from it.

  So when Yingchun's marriage became clear and Xiuyan seemed hopeless to succeed her, Xing was inevitably a little disappointed and dissatisfied.

   "Yuanyang, let's not think about such things. Xiuyan is a good girl. Does it mean that entering my Feng residence is a good way out?"

  Feng Ziying is not hypocritical, he also has a good impression of Xiuyan, but if you want to say that he has no intention of you and you want to use other means to make him submit, then it's over.

   "So, let's stop worrying about it. Baoyu's marriage is a major event in your Rongguo Mansion. I hope there will be a good result."

  Yuanyang's heart tightened, "Master, what do you mean by this marriage of Master Bao? Or is it not appropriate?"

Feng Ziying looked at Yuanyang's beautiful eyes and shook her head: "This kind of thing has advantages and disadvantages. I have also reminded the old lady and his wife to weigh the pros and cons and choose the best one. Since they think the Niu family is the best The choice, of course, has their reasons, and any more words will only make people feel uncomfortable, there is no need."

Yuanyang understands that Uncle Feng is still not very optimistic about this marriage, but it was determined by the ancestors, his wife and the imperial concubine, and it has not changed. She has some hidden worries in her heart, but she can only hide it, as Uncle Feng said. No matter how much you say, it is useless to say more, and it will only increase your troubles.

   Noticing the worry in Yuanyang's eyes, Feng Ziying was also a little moved. This Yuanyang is really an honest person, she is sincere and conscientious in everything she does, but she can't change all of this, let alone a maid?

Holding the catkins of the mandarin ducks, Feng Ziying said softly: "Okay, you don't have to worry about it, things may not be as bad as I thought, anyway, there is still a princess and a noble concubine in the palace, my lord It’s just overthinking.”

  The azalea came in after the mandarin ducks left.

  Zijuan's business is simple, that is, Daiyu came to ask if her father came back, if she would like to come and see her.

  Theoretically, in this era of engaged men and women, the man can go to see the woman's parents, but there is no saying that the woman meets the man's parents, but the situation is different in the Feng family.

Feng Tang has been traveling to border towns for a long time, and it is rare to come back for many years. After this trip, the next time he returns to Beijing, I don’t know that it will be the year of the monkey again, so I can see my future daughter-in-law, especially Sanfang, who is originally Feng Tang. This time, Daiyu paid a visit to her future in-laws. Although it was a bit out of order, it was understandable to act in a hurry.

  Feng Ziying's opinion was that Daiyu could find an opportunity to come to Feng's residence as a guest. There was no need for a formal visit, but a very ordinary meeting by chance. This not only achieved the goal, but also avoided suspicion of violating regulations.

  Pinger is the last one.

  Pinger came to agree on the time to move, and there were also some other specific arrangements.

Probably the time was set on June 30th. Wang Xifeng and his group moved out of Rongguo Mansion to live there. No name like Wang's House was chosen there. Naturally, Feng's House was even more impossible, so the earliest house was used. The name is quite elegant, Wu Yuan.

  Because it was originally built by a Dongting merchant, and later sold to this Shanxi official. Although it has been rebuilt, the general style has not changed. It is still dominated by Jiangnan style, with some characteristics of the Three Jin Dynasties.

  *******

   Finally seeing the majestic Chaoyang Gate, Feng Tang was also a little excited.

  He came back almost as fast as he could.

The imperial court urged him very urgently, and Feng Tang himself was indeed eager to return home, so after passing Shanhaiguan, he put his family's youngest, that is, the two concubines Su, Xie and their daughter behind, and told them to slow down. All right, I will go straight to the capital city with a light car.

   "Feng Zuo, have you arranged for someone to report to your home?"

"I have already arranged for people to go. I guess someone at home should be waiting at the gate of the city." After two years of baptism, Feng Zuo's face became more horrified, and he was also very excited when he returned to the capital city. Excited.

   "Well, I don't know if there will be anyone from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Feng You went to the Ministry of War?" Feng Tang asked casually.

Although he really wanted to go home and settle down first, Feng Tang also knew that if there was no such good thing, the cabinet and the Ministry of War would not let him go so easily. I can only endure it, and it is estimated that Ziying is still working in the Shuntian government office at this time, and has not yet returned home.

"Well, I should have reported to the Ministry of War in the morning. I'm afraid Feng You has already returned to the mansion to report to his wife and the others." Feng Zuo also knew the master's mood. He had hardly had a time to settle down and recuperate after being away for several years. After coming back, it is estimated that he will leave for the northwest again after staying for less than a month. The life of this warrior is so difficult.

   A group of people rode forward on horseback, and they arrived at the Chaoyang Gate. From afar, they saw a group of officials outside the gate, both civil and military.

  Feng Tang secretly sighed in his heart, coming to welcome himself at this time, I'm afraid it would be good to go home at Haishi.

   Those who came to pick up Feng Tang and his party were Xiong Tingbi, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, Fang Silang, a Yuanwailang, and a few idlers from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

Although there are different ways of civil and military affairs, civil officials have never been very fond of military generals, but military generals like the Bianzhen general, whether it is the Ministry of War or even the cabinet, dare not underestimate them. After all, these talents are real swordsmen and Mongols. Civil servants can certainly make decisions about life and death, but how to implement specific operations to achieve strategic goals still depends on these generals.

   For a military general like Feng Tang who has served as the chief soldier in several border towns, and even temporarily concurrently serves as two governors, it is not an exaggeration to come to a military servant to greet him.

  Theoretically, Feng Tang already has the same qualifications as Prince Tenggua's appointment as the right servant of the Ministry of War, but now the imperial court is very cautious about granting military generals a civilian post, and will not grant it lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

   "I've met Mr. Feng." Xiong Tingbi didn't hold back in front of Feng Tang, but bowed his hands very politely.

  Feng Tang also politely returned the gift, "Master Xiong is polite, please trouble Master Xiong to pick it up, Feng is ashamed."

"Master Feng, why did you say that? The country has been guarding the border for many years, so why can't you still be able to take a few steps to meet Xiong?" Xiong Tingbi laughed loudly and said: "Master Feng, please, Lord Shangshu and the two ministers are waiting You, even the ministers in the cabinet are very concerned about your return to Beijing this time, the situation in Liaodong affects the hearts of all people."

Feng Tang laughed, "Since you are so worried about the situation in Liaodong, why do you have to make Feng Mou take this trip? Isn't this tossing Feng Mou? From northeast to northwest, the distance is thousands of miles, and a horse can run A few horses have died, and Feng's old bones can't stand such a toss."

   Xiong Tingbi looked around, sighed, and walked a few steps with Feng Tang, while the others kept their distance knowingly.

   "If it's not a last resort, why would the imperial court insist on recruiting adults back?" Xiong Tingbi is now a staff secretary, and he has information on the entire Dazhou military aircraft, which includes both external enemy threats and internal military instability.

"So bad?" Feng Tang frowned, and said as he walked: "I still understand Jingxuan, even if he stayed in the border town for a shorter time, with his personality, he wouldn't be able to get into trouble with the generals in the Northwest." It's so stiff, where did it get to this point?"

Xiong Tingbi pondered for a while, and prepared his words: "Brother Jingxuan has been in the Water Transport Yamen for too long, and he is not used to the situation in the northwest. You are also clear that you have always been poor, and the imperial court’s food and salary are intermittent. In the past two years, the situation has been slightly better, but it is also very limited. In addition, after the recovery of Hami and Shazhou, the logistics line has been dragged too long, and supplies have been consumed. I'm used to it..."

   Feng Tang's face was calm.

He is aware of Chen Jingxuan's temperament, he has never stayed in those bitter places on the three sides, even in places like Datong and Shanxi, so naturally he is not very clear about the situation of the soldiers there, and he is still following the rules of the water transport yamen Acting will definitely arouse the great resentment of the soldiers on the three sides.

You pay attention to extravagance, you don’t tire of fine food, and you don’t tire of fine cooking. It’s inevitable that you won’t be down-to-earth. Moreover, Chen Jingxuan has no friendship with the generals on the northwest frontier, and his connections are thin. The food and payment were still intermittent, and a part of the Guyuan Army was also drawn to the southwest to counter the rebellion.

   Unaccustomed to the soil and water, not to mention losing the battle, they will be abolished and merged into the newly established Jingxiang Town. Now even Gansu Town and Ningxia Town are going to be merged. How can this make the Northwest soldiers endure?

   There was no immediate mutiny and rebellion, and that was because Ningxia put down the rebellion within two years, but if there is no decent solution, corruption in the Northwest is almost inevitable.

  But what if I go to the Northwest by myself? If the court had already made a plan for the abolition and merger and could not change it, it would be difficult for the soldiers in the Northwest to be appeased, and the appeasement also required money. How much money could the court give? I heard that Huaiyang town is going to be built, so the four towns in the northwest must have been born by Erniang, who is willing to spend more money on your side?
