Chapter 1573 Xin Zijuan’s suspicion

Standing at the gate of Yihongyuan, Jia Baoyu listened to Ming Yandi's report with a calm face.

"After the empress met Uncle Feng in Jiayin Hall, Uncle Feng went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Miss Lin and Uncle Feng walked around in the garden. Later, Uncle Feng sent Miss Lin back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Maybe It was too late, so Uncle Feng just talked with Siqi in the Didui Pavilion for a while, and then left the garden. Later, I heard from the door that Uncle Feng went back to Feng Mansion."

"Brother Feng didn't go to the second sister of Zhujinlou?" Baoyu asked softly.

"I didn't go. I watched Siqi come out of Zhujin Tower and walk to the entrance of Xiaoxiang Hall where he met Uncle Feng. Then they walked towards Zilingzhou, but before they reached Zilingzhou, they turned into Didui. Went to the pavilion." Mingyan whispered.

It's not a good thing to follow Uncle Feng. I don't know what Mr. Bao is thinking. He just wants to see where Uncle Feng went in the garden.

Where else to go? Either the Xiaoxiang Pavilion or the Zhujin Pavilion.

Miss Lin will get married next year, and the second girl heard that Second Master Bao will get married after they get married. Although it is not suitable for men and women to meet before the wedding, Uncle Feng, Second Miss, and Miss Lin have grown up together not only as childhood sweethearts, but also for many years. They are family friends, so the government is not so harsh and they are not allowed to meet or anything like that.

Besides, who is Uncle Feng? He comes to the house and does generous things, and the people below welcome him very much. If he comes to visit and meets people generously, what's the point? It's much better than those masters who secretly do things like cheating on men and stealing women.

So Mingyan was also very puzzled and a little scared about why Second Master Bao suddenly wanted to see where Uncle Feng had been in the mansion.

If Uncle Feng really finds out, Mr. Bao may not be able to admit it, so he will have no choice but to top the tank himself. He doesn’t know how he will explain it or what he will do.

Jia Baoyu naturally didn't know that Mingyan had so many thoughts in his heart. He certainly wouldn't check Feng Ziying's whereabouts for no reason. However, after the eldest sister talked to Brother Feng in the afternoon, when he went to see the eldest sister, he discovered that the eldest sister was in a mood. Not very good, often distracted, and also in a low mood. Secondly, when talking about the incident in Tiewan Mountain, his attitude also changed a lot, which made him very confused and puzzled.

In her previous letter to her mother, the eldest sister also mentioned how she went with Princess Yongning during the Autumn Festival at Tieweng Mountain. She also mentioned that during the Autumn Festival, she might have an audience with the emperor and go on a hunting trip with the princes. This is a very rare opportunity for poetry and literary gatherings, and Baoyu is also very interested.

Jia Baoyu has experienced a lot over the past year. Although he knows very well that he has no interest in economics, justice and current affairs, which seems to have cut off his official career, this does not mean that he does not want to live a better life.

The current deteriorating situation of Rong Ning's second house also made him very worried. If it continued like this, the glory of the Rong Ning Jia family would really be lost in his own generation.

Second brother Lian left Yangzhou and didn’t know what to think. As for Erfang, he had to take the lead and had to face all this.

Over the years, it’s not that he couldn’t hear some unpleasant words from the servants in the mansion, praising Lao San and Lang Geer, and slandering himself. At first, everyone was teasing, but as time went on, they complained more and more. The smell of anger is overwhelming.

He knew all this, but he didn't pay attention to it before, or ignored it intentionally or unintentionally. But after experiencing everything from last year to this year, he began to realize that everything seemed to be different.

Everything seems to have started after the provincial villa was built. The mansion suddenly fell into trouble. All kinds of expenses were cut, food and clothing were frugal. Even Yihongyuan was also greatly affected, so there are The maids are all saying that although the yard looks more beautiful and the flowers and trees are more prosperous when they move to Yihongyuan, the monthly payment is not good and they even have to be deducted. The clothes made every season are getting less and less, so it is better to stay in Jiangyunxuan. Stay moisturized.

Later, more and more debts were owed to outsiders, and more and more people came to ask for debts. The Lai family was investigated at once, and some money was freed up, so that the house was finally a little more comfortable, but still It only lasted less than a year, and life began to get tight again. Even he vaguely knew that whether it was the second sister-in-law before, the eldest sister-in-law later, and the third sister-in-law, they continued to make money in the ancestral house together with the mandarin ducks in the ancestral house. The items inside were mortgaged or simply sold, just to allow the government to meet the expenses.

In fact, the ancestor also knew the same, but he just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know. One day, he overheard the conversation between the ancestor and his mother, and realized that this life had reached a point where it was unsustainable, and originally I was counting on my father going to Jiangxi to make some money, but so far, no news seems to have come out.

The third sister felt a lot less worried about this. There were more and more people complaining among the servants, and there were more and more cases of disobedience. The reason was for no other reason than that their monthly money and clothes had been withheld. Everyone was When you have a big family, your thoughts naturally start to wander, and some people even make up their mind to find another way out.

 The second sister-in-law moved out and followed a group of people. If it were normal, would these people be willing to leave? Even Hongyu who was in his room followed him, which made Baoyu even more unacceptable.

 The government's pursuit of a marriage with the Niu family made him deeply realize that today is different from the past, the difficulties faced by the Jia family and himself, and even marriages need to suffer these cruel blows.

All these things made Baoyu start to reflect even though he was decadent. Could he really continue to live like this?

 At this time, the marriage with the Niu family seems to be the key that can change the door to destiny.

If you can get the support of Princess Yongning after marrying Niu's daughter and get summoned by the emperor and leave a good impression, the princes may even become princes and establish a good relationship with a certain prince of the future emperor. In addition, this layer Due to the relationship between relatives, I might not be able to get rid of the current embarrassing situation in one fell swoop in the future, and seek a noble status, which will also allow the Jia family to get out of trouble.

Originally, the eldest sister was very supportive, but why did she suddenly change her attitude? Moreover, Baoyu also noticed that the eldest sister was uneasy. This happened just after talking to Brother Feng, which had to make him suspicious.

Logically speaking, as a noble concubine, the eldest sister should not meet an outsider like Brother Feng even if she returns home to visit relatives.

Brother Feng is just the husband-in-law of Sister Bao and Sister Lin, and is only considered a cousin. Once this private meeting is known to the palace people, it will inevitably cause a turmoil. However, as his younger brother, he cannot intervene in such matters, let alone What's more, he also knew the purpose of the eldest sister's meeting with Brother Feng. After all, Brother Feng had more sources of information outside, and the eldest sister was also planning for herself.

Who would have thought that such a big change would happen after this meeting. The eldest sister's attitude was a little vague. She seemed not to agree with Princess Yongning taking her to Tiewen Mountain Qiuyi to make friends with the princes. She only said that she would have the opportunity to meet the emperor. It is a good thing, but the other princes should not be too close to each other, and they even vaguely mentioned that Princess Yongning should not be too concerned.

 This has to make Baoyu suspicious.

Baoyu also knows the temperament of the eldest sister to some extent. She has been in the palace since she was a child and is talented and intelligent. It would be difficult for ordinary people to influence her. But Brother Feng is different. The eldest sister usually respects Brother Feng's opinions very much, but now there is Yongning. My eldest princess, no matter which prince you are, you have to show some face, why not take this opportunity to make friends with him?

As for which prince will have a better chance, Princess Yongning must know it well. She is the emperor's most beloved and close sister. She must have a way to deduce who has the best chance. Of course, we must seize such an opportunity, but it's very difficult. My sister actually changed her attitude, which was obviously influenced by Brother Feng.

 Just why did Brother Feng do this?

Baoyu was a little angry and helpless in his heart. He knew very well that his influence over his eldest sister could not be compared with that of Brother Feng. Although Princess Yongning took him to Tiewang Mountain, it was said that eldest sister and other concubines also took her there. There is hope that you can go along. If the eldest sister can say a few nice words in front of the emperor, wouldn't your chances be greater?

Since Princess Yongning has called her as her son-in-law, will she still harm herself?

This kind of mood lingered in Baoyu's chest, making him particularly restless.

He wanted to ask Brother Feng face to face, but he was a little timid and didn't know how to speak.

 But no matter what, Baoyu has decided to ask Brother Feng, but he needs to find a more suitable opportunity.

 There is still one month left, and autumn will not come until September. During this period, there are still opportunities.

 Deep down in his heart, he also had some doubts. Could it be that Brother Feng was jealous that he had married the princess, and that if he had good fortune in the future, he would suddenly shine in the family, knocking down the momentum of his favorite brother Huan, and somewhat losing his face?

 It's just that Brother Feng is like this now. Jia Baoyu doesn't suspect that Feng Ziying is jealous of her surpassing him. He may be dissatisfied that Huan Laosan is surpassed by him, but Brother Feng isn't so narrow-minded, right?

The seeds of suspicion have been sown and will take root and sprout, making it difficult to remove. Baoyu is also asking himself whether he is too sensitive, but this is clearly what is best for him, why should Brother Feng stop him?

"Second Master, Uncle Feng's affairs with Miss Lin and Second Miss have been settled. It's okay for him to just go and see them, right?" Mingyan observed Baoyu's face, "As for what Siqi and Uncle Feng are doing... Even if there is something in the Cuiting, the chess player must be Uncle Feng's man sooner or later. No one sees it, so let's pass it by. It doesn't matter..."

Mingyan is still a little worried that her second master will not offend Uncle Feng because of these trivial things. Uncle Feng is a noble person in Rongguo Mansion.
