Chapter 1608 Renzi Scroll

  Life seems to be so helpless. Although Feng Ziying is very reluctant to get involved in Jia Baoyu's marriage, but in terms of reason, he should still care about Jia Baoyu's marriage.

Rongguo Mansion now only has an unreliable Jia Amnesty and a few wives and family members left, while Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son in Ningguo Mansion are now moving strangely. According to the information obtained from Wu Yaoqing, although these two have not left Beijing yet, They must be actively making various preparations for the run, which made Feng Ziying very curious about how the two father and son planned.

During this period of time, Feng Ziying was in a bad mood, because you knew that something might happen, but there was nothing you could do. You could only watch the situation develop in an unwilling direction, and everything you did might end up being blind Lighting a lamp—wasting wax, this feeling is hard to describe in words.

Even after Baoyu got married, the fact that he had to accept Yingchun as his concubine became less pleasant. The key is that this feeling and emotion needs to be suppressed and covered up, so that no one can see some clues, otherwise it will be difficult. To hurt people.

Frustration, depression, depression, irritability, mixed with some kind of despair, Feng Ziying remembers that since she came to this world, she seems to have never had such a state of mind, making herself so helpless. As far as I am concerned, it is really too rare.

  Looking at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Feng Ziying sighed and let the carriage drive in slowly.

  For Feng Ziying's arrival, Jiamu and Wang are still very happy.

Right now, the people who can really stand up for the Jia family can be counted on their fingers. Wang Ziteng is in Huguang, Jia Zheng is in Jiangxi, Jia Amnesty's relationship and reputation in Beijing are not very good, and Jia Lian is in Beijing. Haitong Yinzhuang accumulated some contacts when he was in charge, but he went to Yangzhou. Now, apart from Feng Ziying, the only one who can really support the situation of Jia's family is Beijing County King Shui Rong.

  When getting off the carriage, Feng Ziying saw a carriage regulated by the king of the county. Yes, it was made by King Jing of Beijing.

Along the four kings and eight kilometers, except for the family of Beijing Wang Shui who is relatively close to the Rongguo Mansion, the other three kings have a normal relationship with the Rongguo Mansion, and in the Eight Dukes, except for the Shi family and the Ma family who were expelled, and the Niu family on the other side of the marriage, The Chen family, the Hou family, the Liu family, and the Jia family all have normal relationships, especially in the current situation, and the Niu family is the only one to follow.

Even Feng Ziying's doubts about Shui Rong's attitude towards Rongguo Mansion are worth investigating. Whether it is the unclear relationship between Shui Rong and Jia Baoyu, or because of Jia Jing in Ningguo Mansion, it is hard to say, but it certainly is not. Because Jia pardoned Jia Zheng or their ancestors.

  As the generations passed down, the friendship between the ancestors became more and more indifferent, and more emphasis was placed on the connection of interests. If there is no common interest as a bond, this layer of tulle will be broken at a poke, and it is not worth mentioning.

However, Shui Rong is still the most active one in Beijing Zhongwu Xun, far better than Dongping County King, Nan'an County King, and Xining County King. Not only is he very close to Prince Yizhong, he is even the same as King Shou King Fu and King Li have close contacts. Basically, he will actively participate in the poetry and literature meetings called by the princes. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a well-rounded and lively figure.

  In addition to his handsome appearance, good conversation, and good literary talent, he has an excellent reputation among scholars in the north and south, and he is completely different from Feng Ziying.

   Didn't see Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan, only Jia Huan and Jia Cong. Feng Ziying guessed that Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan should be with Shui Rong, so she didn't care, and asked casually, "Water Lord is here?"

   "Yes, the prince of Beijing Jing arrived first, and now the elder is accompanying him to see the ancestor and his wife."

  Jia Huan was wearing a light blue long gown with jade needle plugs. Except for her thin cheeks and slightly raised cheekbones, which made her look gloomy, she could be called an elegant Confucian scholar in other respects.

In the past six months, he has grown very fast. He is a fifteen-year-old boy, and he is also 1.6 meters tall. He is almost catching up with his sister Tanchun. In addition, he is successful in studying, and he is quite poetic. Seeing the smell, Feng Ziying couldn't help nodding.

   "Oh, Lord Shui should indeed come, after all, he is also a family friend..." Feng Ziying smiled and nodded. But Jia Huan obviously didn't agree with Feng Ziying's point of view, and snorted softly, "The Jia family has a lot of family friends in Beijing, and I haven't seen anyone else coming, and Lord Shui didn't come here because of family friends, maybe it was because of his personal friendship with Second Brother Bao. Be sure."

   There seemed to be some other meaning in the words, but the tone couldn't be heard at all. Feng Ziying subconsciously took a deep look at Jia Huan, but Jia Huan avoided Feng Ziying's gaze, but his expression didn't change much.

Feng Ziying snorted heavily, "I can't write two characters of Jia in one stroke. Brothers are of the same heart, their profits cut through gold, and cooking beans burns beans. That is the most tragic thing for a family. Brother Huan, I don't want to see this. Something like this happened in Jia's house, Brother Cong, you understand!"

   Hearing Feng Zi's English tone was particularly severe, Jia Huan and Jia Cong both looked shocked, and they responded in unison.

   "I know that maybe you don't like some of Baoyu's styles or ideas, but it's one thing to disagree, but you can't do the kind of things that make your relatives hurt your enemies. After all, you are a family, remember?"

  Feng Ziying's words made Jia Huan and Jia Cong nod in agreement, but at the same time they heard another meaning in Feng Ziying's words, that is, he also did not agree with Baoyu's approach.

Seeing that the two were being educated, Feng Ziying moved forward, "Water Lord has a good reputation in Beijing, and it is a good thing for Baoyu to make friends with him. Originally, Baoyu also wanted to take advantage of this time when Iron Net Mountain is in autumn. Maybe Water Lord I can also help beat the side drums.”

Having said that, Feng Ziying sees it this way. Emperor Yonglong is not interested in the four kings and eight princes. These are the foundations of the Supreme Emperor and the potential foundation of Prince Yizhong. He knows very well that it is difficult for him to completely win over these people. Therefore, we can only try our best to recruit them and weaken the power of these people from various angles.

  Shui Rong came to Rongguo Mansion this time not necessarily because of his friendship with Baoyu, there may be other considerations.

   For example, because of Princess Yongning?

Feng Ziying has always been a little unclear about Shui Rong. On the surface, he is very close to Tang Binyin and the others. Wang also had a close relationship, and as far as Feng Ziying knew, he was also related to Lu Song, the governor of Long Jinwei, and one of Lu Song's concubines should be two sisters with one of his concubines.

  Because of this reason, Feng Ziying did not dare to easily assert the true face of the water lord, and could only quietly watch his performance.

   Entering Yimen, Feng Ziying saw a group of people coming from the west side.

A group of people surrounded the first person with his hands behind his back, a silver-winged king hat, a plain white python robe inlaid with silver borders, river teeth and sea water with five claws sitting on a dragon, and a jade belt around his waist. Like Guanyu, she is delicate and radiant, even if compared with Jia Baoyu next to her, she is a little less grand and more of a gentle person.

   "Your Majesty has met the Prince of Beijing." Feng Ziying stood still and bowed gracefully.

  As a senior member of the fourth rank, there is actually no need to be too polite to this kind of county prince. There is almost no intertwining between the two, but Shui Rong has a very good reputation among scholars, so Feng Ziying will naturally not be rude.

"Hehe, why does Ziying need so much courtesy? This king is one step ahead of Ziying." Shui Rong smiled, making people feel like a spring breeze, "Take a step forward and come to hold Feng Ziying's hand, Baoyu and Yongning Chang The marriage of the princess's daughter-in-law can be described as a perfect match, the king is very happy, so I came to congratulate first."

"My lord, you are welcome." Feng Ziying shook hands with the other party, and then stood still: "It is very rare for Baoyu to have such a marriage. The Zhenguo Gongniu family and Rong Jia's family are family friends, and they have the relationship of the Yongning Princess. The old matriarch and the others are very satisfied, the prince and the servants should come to congratulate them."

  Feng Ziying also opened his mouth to greet these greetings, "Baoyu, are you ready for everything?"

   "Brother Feng, take care and worry, you are almost ready." Jia Baoyu was also flushed, feeling quite complacent.

   "Well, Ziying, do you want to see the old lady?" Shui Rong looked back at Fang Xiang in Jiamu's yard behind him, and asked in a deep thought.

  Feng Ziying was slightly taken aback, as if she had sensed something, she nodded, "I'm going to pay my respects to the old lady, and I'd like to say a few words by the way."

   "Well, that's okay. I have heard that the Grand View Garden has a unique concept and elegant shape. If you want to visit it, is Ziying willing to go with you?" Shui Rong asked in a diffuse voice.

"Your Highness invites you, dare you refuse to obey?" Feng Ziying responded without hesitation, and said in her heart that she was afraid that this guy had been waiting for her a long time ago, so it's okay to check the other party's tone and see what this guy is. details.

I didn't stay at Jia Mu's place for long, but I just said some polite words. After I came out, I saw Shui Rong standing outside the Yimen with his hands behind his back. The king of Beijing Jing was surprised that he was willing to wait here for Feng Ziying.

  The group walked leisurely and went straight into the Grand View Garden.

  Although there are rules in the Grand View Garden that no outsiders are allowed, but the prince of Beijing Jing wants to visit, naturally no one can stop him.

However, Shui Rong is obviously not interested in visiting the buildings of the Grand View Garden. The luxury of the Beijing Palace is not much inferior to that of the Grand View Garden. Even Jia Baoyu and others have seen that the King of Beijing intends to travel with Feng Ziying, and they are very interesting. The land is far away at the end.

   "I'm afraid Ziying is going to Tiewangshan Qiuxi, right?"

  The two walked along the way, commenting casually on the pavilions and pavilions, the mountains, rocks and waters, but they were at ease, but Feng Ziying knew the beginning of this sentence and started to get to the point.

   "Why did the prince say this? Ziying is not an official of the court, how can she leave without authorization?" Feng Ziying said casually.

"Hehe, Ziying's remarks are absurd. It is not a secret that the emperor intends to choose a reserve. He will definitely seek the opinions of the court officials. Ziying is not only the leader of young scholars in Beijing, but also the representative of young officials in the court. How can the emperor ignore it?" Shui Rong looked at Feng Ziying: "The king had an audience with the emperor the day before yesterday, and he also proposed to the emperor that the selection and establishment of the crown prince is a major matter for the country, and it is necessary to solicit opinions from many parties, especially the scholars in the capital. The essence is better able to grasp the social situation and public opinion, and the outstanding ones should be selected as consultants,..."

  Is this recommending yourself? Feng Ziying was startled.

  Since when did this water dissolve and the emperor get so close again? Or did the emperor ask for the opinion of Wu Xun's representative out of courtesy?

  But listening to Shui Rong's tone of voice, it seemed quite serious. Could there be some inside story here that I didn't know?

However, considering that the kings of Dongping County, Nan'an County, and Xining County all stayed behind closed doors and pretended to be deaf and dumb. Only Shui Rong was so active. It's really hard to say whether it represents the opinions of the other three county kings. It is also difficult to judge how much influence the military still has.

  On the issue of selecting and establishing a reserve, Emperor Yonglong needed to communicate with the warriors even if he was doing superficial work. It was not impossible for Shui Rong to take this opportunity to say a few words in front of Emperor Yonglong.

  But he recommended himself in front of Emperor Yonglong, so what's the point? Will it backfire?

  However, Feng Ziying doesn't think that if Shui Rong wants to use this little trick to achieve the goal of alienation, he will be successful, and Shui Rong should also know that it is of little point to use such means to deal with him in front of Emperor Yonglong, and he will only humiliate himself.

  Then what is his purpose? show yourself?

"My lord, what you mean by outstanding people who are ready to serve as advisors, don't you mean low-level officials? You can't afford to be a low-level official." Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Even though the Tian family has no personal affairs, if you really want to choose a reserve, you should also use it as an official." The opinions of important ministers in the court are for reference, and in the end, Gan Gang must make a decisive decision."

  Shui Rong's eyes flickered, but he didn't respond positively. He turned his head to look at Qinfangxizhong, "Ziying seems to have misunderstood something."

   "Misunderstood?" Feng Ziying frowned, "How do you say that?"

"Gu went to see the emperor the day before yesterday, and the emperor is also difficult to make a decision..." Shui Rong noticed Feng Ziying's complexion changed slightly, and he waved his hand as he wanted to say something: "Ziying, Gu understands your concerns, but the emperor's health is not good, if you don't do it sooner The more the arrangements are delayed, the more likely the emperor will be exhausted and his body will be dragged down..."

  Feng Ziying's heart is cold, this water solution is presumptuous, these words are not even superficial, they are just a bit of a joke, but he is so arrogant, what is he relying on?

  I can't even understand the other party's true intentions, and the deeper I talk, the more confused I become, or did I misunderstand something? still…

"My lord, you really don't understand these lowly officials. Your Majesty has been recuperating for the past two years. Although his energy is not good, his health is not bad. He spent a year or two recuperating and supporting him at the same time. In my opinion, Even the youngest Prince Gong is fine,..."

  Feng Ziying observed the other party's expression changes while talking.

  As expected, when he mentioned the name of Prince Gong, a strange light flashed across Shui Rong's eyes.
