Chapter 2337 Gui Zi Juan Xiang Lian comes to visit, the scenery changes

But what about Chen Jixian?

 What role does Chen Jixian play in it?

The imperial court and Prince Yi Zhong both had their own plans, but Chen Jixian, a warrior and a warrior, got involved in it so cooperatively and obediently, so he had no plans?

Of course Feng Ziying didn’t believe it.

 It is of course impossible that someone who dares to invite someone with whom he and his father have a tacit understanding would be so obedient.

 It is normal to fear that the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked, but how can he avoid this situation?

Once the imperial court and Nanjing reach an agreement through secret discussions, how valuable will Chen Jixian's Huaiyang Army be?

 Does he still think that he can really control Yangzhou forever and become the emperor of Jiangbei? Aren't you afraid that the imperial court will calm down and use its hands to deal with him in one fell swoop?

There are still many doubts here that are not clear yet, and Feng Ziying can't figure them out for a while.

But one thing is certain, Chen Jixian is not a kind person, and he cannot calmly watch the court and Prince Yi Zhong reach an agreement. In the end, he became a dog and a bow that killed the rabbit, cooked the bird, and used the bow to hide.

 Perhaps Chen Jixian has other backup plans.

Then he is probably making some preparations by sending his son to Beijing now.

For a moment, Feng Ziying felt that she could get in touch with Chen Yejun. Even if she couldn't come forward, she could get in touch with Han Qi and get a feel for him.

"Second brother, you are so carefree now, and you are just playing around in Daguan Tower. Shouldn't you think about starting a family and starting a business to carry on the Liu family's lineage?" Feng Ziying put aside these thoughts and asked Liu Xianglian with a smile.

"Ziying, do you dare to come and talk to me about this now? In the third room of your family, except for the two concubines who gave birth to sons, the three younger siblings still have no children, right? You should work hard, don't worry about it all the time. We are hanging out outside, Young Master Tianjin Wei is going." Liu Xianglian glanced at Feng Ziying with a half-smile.

Feng Ziying was surprised. How come even Liu Xianglian knew about Tianjin Wei?

Seeing Feng Ziying's suspicious eyes on her, Liu Xianglian sighed, "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Even the second brother Lian also knows about the affair between you and Wang Xifeng, right? Your house There must be a lot of people who know about it."

Feng Ziying was still a little unsure, "Second brother, where did you hear about it?"

"Ziying, why does Wang Xifeng make such a big cement business? How powerful are Shanxi businessmen? Why would they let you, a divorced woman, run the cement business? You know, they were the first to start this business in Yongping Mansion. It's up." Liu Xianglian said slowly and calmly: "Her cement is now not only sold to Tianjin Wei and Hejian Prefecture, but also to Dongchang Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture along the canal. Even Xuzhou has to come to Jining for resale. I'm afraid it's not a business worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so who wouldn't be jealous and greedy?"

Feng Ziying was shocked. It seemed that she had not realized this, or that she had subconsciously ignored the huge benefits of the cement business.

"The Jia family has long been out of power. Who in the local area recognizes you, the Jia family who has been raided? Do you really think that the black and white gods along the canal are vegetarians? Don't you Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan Xiao Feng Governor's famous hood? "Look, all kinds of monsters and snake gods have long since swallowed her up to the point where her bones are gone." Liu Xianglian curled her lips: "I'm afraid there are more than ten dignitaries in the capital who want to do this business, but You have entrusted this business to the merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi. If they want to get a share of the pie, they have to negotiate with the merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi. But how can Wang Xifeng and He De get involved and make the Shanxi and Shaanxi merchants give in?"

 Feng Ziying was speechless.

"Lin Zhixiao and Wang Xin were traveling between the capital, Tianjin Wei and Hejian Prefecture. Wang Xifeng was also involved in the business in Wuqing, Dong'an and Bazhou. Many people in Beijing asked about the Shanshan Chamber of Commerce. Bian, you issued a silence order on the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce and didn’t say anything. Outsiders thought it was because of your relationship with the Jia family, but insiders knew that Jia Lian had reconciled with Wang Xifeng long ago..."

Looking at the strange expression on Liu Xianglian's face, Feng Ziying's scalp went numb, "Second brother, don't you mean that the outside world knows about it...?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter if we all know it, but the Jia family can definitely guess it. Even Ni Er and Jia Qiang told me that you are too 'emotional and righteous'. I thought about this. Is there something in the words? Let me remind you not to get too deep into it, which will damage the reputation of your little Feng Xiuzhan, Little Feng Supervisor." Liu Xianglian said seriously: "If she were an ordinary woman, that would not be the case. Come to think of it, there are many officials in the court who have wives outside the house, but this Wang Xifeng is different. She is a divorced woman from the Wang family, the Jia family, and it is not so pleasant for anyone to get involved in any of them. You can figure it out for yourself."

Feng Ziying didn't expect that Liu Xianglian could analyze the affair between herself and Wang Xifeng so easily. It's no wonder that a clever girl like Yuanyang could easily see through the relationship between herself and Wang Xifeng, and even It can be inferred that Wang Xifeng gave birth to a child for herself.

I have always felt that I have concealed it well enough, and there are only one or two sharp-eyed people in the mansion who can figure it out. Even people like Baochai, Qingwen, and Li Wan are probably just a little suspicious. Now it seems, I guess people like Baochai and Qingwen already knew it and pretended not to know, but even people like Daiyu, Yingchun and Xiuyan probably knew it well.

 After coughing dryly, Feng Ziying did not want to discuss this topic with Liu Xianglian.

No matter how you say it, this is not a glorious thing. The Liu family and the Jia family are also family friends. Liu Xianglian and Jia Lian, Baoyu and even Jia Rong are also close friends. Now he has stolen Jia Lian's ex-wife, Baoyu's sister-in-law, Jia Rong aunt, and also gave birth to a son, this was embarrassing, even if they didn't know about giving birth to a son.

Thinking of the affair between Li Wan and herself, as well as Yuan Chun in the palace, Feng Ziying felt even more frightened. If everything was really exposed in the future, how would she explain it to these serious people in the house?

Liu Xianglian also noticed Feng Ziying's embarrassment and shook her head.

He didn’t want to talk about these things to his best friend, but he had to say it.

Ziying's talent is astonishing. Now she is a third-grade minister. Her future is bright and limitless. Everyone in the capital city praises her. The gap between this suave and **** person is not big in the first place. Young scholars admire Ai in their youth. It's normal, but it's okay if you like women, but having an affair with a woman like Wang Xifeng is a bit embarrassing. Coupled with these messy relatives, it will definitely have an impact.

"Ziying, since all these things have happened, it doesn't really matter. It's common for people like you to have an outside wife. You have to comfort the younger brothers and sisters in the house and don't make it a mess. Miss Xue and Miss Lin Wang Xifeng and Wang Xifeng are still cousins, and we should pay more attention to the fact that Wang Xifeng has also made such a big name in Tianjin Wei, so it’s time to restrain himself. Don’t be too pushy and let it go. You should go there less, lest you Put it into practice.”

Liu Xianglian looked at Feng Ziying's expression and guessed that it would be difficult to make the other party break off the relationship with Wang Xifeng all at once. It had to be said that Wang Xifeng was very coquettish and very attractive to young people like Feng Ziying. It was no wonder that she could hang Feng Ziying up. .

Liu Xianglian came and brought a lot of news to Feng Ziying, which also made Feng Ziying very happy.

There are not many friends who are not so entangled in interests. Liu Xianglian was a friend that Feng Ziying made when she was not famous. Moreover, Liu Xianglian has no intention of pursuing an official career and does not like business. She enjoys guarding a grand theater.

If you want to perform on stage, just improvise. If you don’t want to sing, just hang out in the theater, drink tea and listen to music. Why not?

Furthermore, Liu Xianglian had many friends from all walks of life in the capital, and unlike Ni Er, he did not have as many friends with middle- and lower-class people. Liu Xianglian’s friends and acquaintances were all spread among princes, nobles, martial arts scholars, merchants and citizens, so there was a lot of information that others could not get. of.

For example, when Chen Yejun returned to the capital, the Liu family of Duke Li was ready to make a move. The Qiu family of Marquis Jingtian was also moving around. There were also the children of the Yue family of Chuanning Marquis and the Xie family of Dingcheng Marquis. They all had friendships with Liu Xianglian and could get a lot of information from Wu Xun. .

“The historians don’t know about Ziying, do you know?” Liu Xianglian asked quietly again.

"Historian? Which historian?" Feng Ziying did not react for a while.

"Shi Nai and Shi Ding, the Shi family of Zhongjing Marquis and Baoling Marquis, Shi Dada's family,..." Liu Xianglian glanced at Feng Ziying, "Shi Nai's son also sneaked back to the capital."

“Shi Nai’s son?” Feng Ziying was surprised, “Didn’t Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Punishment capture him?”

"Haha, I don't know. Maybe I turned a blind eye, maybe I really didn't care. Now that we have reached this point, it seems that the court's pursuit of Nanjing is not so strict. In the end, it still depends on the court's attitude towards Nanjing. Regarding the attitude, there is no clear explanation for the prisoners who were originally detained in the Imperial Prison, the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment and the Shuntianfu Prison. They were either released, which are basically relatively serious, or released on bail." Liu Xianglian The news is very well-informed. You can indeed hear all kinds of news in the Daguan Theater all day long.

Shi Ding’s son can come back, but what about Shi Xiangyun?

Feng Ziying's heart moved, but there was a link here that Shi Xiangyun and Sun Shaozu were engaged. But before Feng Ziying went to Liaodong, Jia's mother handed a piece of paper to the Ministry of Rites, requesting to cancel the engagement between Shi Xiangyun and Sun Shaozu. Feng Ziying also approached Gu Bingqian, and the Ministry of Rites dragged After three months of dating, their engagement was finally officially terminated.

Although her reputation is not as good as Baoqin's, she is no longer a convict at least. Feng Ziying will only be too busy when she comes back and has not had time to deal with this matter.

Since Shi Xiangyun is no longer a convict, can she return to Beijing?

“Then Shi Nai’s son appeared in public?” Feng Ziying asked again.

"No, I still don't dare. I only dare to go out at night and hide in the homes of a few acquaintances. However, if the Shuntian Mansion or the Criminal Department intends to arrest him, he will definitely not be able to escape." Liu Xianglian smiled, "I just feel that the trend of the court is changing. Things seem to be changing.”
