Yuan Chun had already brought the words here. She went back to Jia's family to visit her relatives, and also wanted to go back to the Grand View Garden to have a look.

   This scared Feng Ziying enough.

  What is this for?

   Is it clear that the horses and chariots should declare sovereignty?

   Or do you want to steal the show?

   But have you won it?

   At this time, I want to go back to the Grand View Garden to have a look, but now my family members live in the Grand View Garden. What do you mean by coming here?

  What do Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu think?

  What do the servants in the garden think, what do they think? Many of them were originally from Rongning Second Mansion.

   But Yuanchun's attitude in the letter was very firm, and he insisted on coming to have a look, which made Feng Ziying a little at a loss.

  It’s definitely impossible to see it publicly, let Long Jinwei, no, Long Jinwei doesn’t care, I know, with Lu Song helping to cover it up, nothing will happen, but if the palace finds out, it will be a big trouble.

   It is also very troublesome to see it in private. Jia Yuanchun had to pretend to live in the Xinjia Mansion, and then quietly took a carriage across the entire capital city to Sanjue Street.

   If you really want to do this, it's not impossible, but Feng Ziying is afraid that something will happen to Jia Yuanchun.

  For example, if you want to stay in the original family-visiting villa for one night, and you have to take a tour in the painting boat to reminisce about the past, then you will really make yourself dizzy.

  With the keen intuition of Shen Xuelin and the others, they will not fail to notice the tricks inside, and I am afraid that the truth will be revealed here.

  Feng Ziying planned to wait until the 15th Yuanchun to go to Xinjia's mansion to meet and persuade her. It is really impossible to "subdue" her in bed and make her give up this idea that would bring infinite risks.

   It's just that Feng Ziying is not sure whether she can persuade this woman.

  This woman has been a little "crazy" since she came back from Jiangnan. She seems to feel that she is omnipotent. She looks forward to bringing her out of the sea of ​​suffering earlier, but can she do it now?

   This incident made Feng Ziying a little uneasy.

   But it will take another ten days before it is fifteen. It is meaningless to write a letter at this moment, Yuan Chun will definitely not listen, and we can only talk about it when we meet.

  Besides the matter of Yuanchun, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Xifeng will go back to Beijing.

   This is also something that makes Feng Ziying a little embarrassed.

  Prince Teng has been pardoned by amnesty, and the court is not doing too much for himself.

  The old Denglai Army merged into Cao Wenzhao's new Denglai Army, and the combat effectiveness of the Denglai Army increased greatly after the integration.

  Wang Ziteng fulfilled his promise, and the court was very satisfied, so he stopped pursuing the Wang family, and even retained Wang Ziteng's status in the five-army governor's mansion.

   Now Wang Xifeng is returning to Beijing with her son, not only to see herself, but also to see Wang Ziteng.

  Although Wang Ziteng knew that he and Wang Xifeng had a son long ago, Feng Ziying still felt a little uncomfortable if he wanted to pick this off face to face.

  Especially Jia Lian will return to Beijing on the eighth day of the eighth day, and will not return to Yangzhou until the fifteenth day.

  Jia Lian returned to Beijing on the one hand to report on the cooperation between Haitong Yinzhuang Yangzhou and the stock exchange to promote the transformation of the joint-stock industry, and on the other hand to come for Qiao.

Sister Qiao is about to turn fifteen, so it should be a matter of marriage, but it is clear that Wang Xifeng has been focusing on business for the past two years, and even Hu Zi is a little neglected, let alone this daughter who was born to her ex-husband .

  Of course Lin Zhixiao’s family is taking care of Qiao Jieer, and Qiao Jie’s life is just as good as the daughters of ordinary wealthy families.

It's just that Sister Qiao's surname is Jia. Although Jia Lian is a bit fickle, he only cares about marrying wives and concubines and having children in Yangzhou, and doesn't care much about Sister Qiao's life, but now that Sister Qiao is young, he still has to ask. In order not to be stabbed in the back by the Jia clan in the future.

   In addition, now the Jia family seems to have regained a respite under the protection of the Feng family.

   Jia Huan has already passed the Qiuwei Grand Competition last year and became a Juren, and Jia Lan has also passed the examination of scholar, but Jia Cong has no reference qualifications because Jia Amnesty is still serving his sentence in exile.

  The Jia family suddenly showed good signs of transforming from the declining Zanying family to the Shishu family.

  This year's Spring Grand Competition is coming soon. If Jia Huan can pass the Jinshi examination, it will undoubtedly be a stimulant for the Jia family to comfort the clansmen.

  Even if Jia Huan really didn’t pass the Jinshi examination, he already has the qualifications to be an official with the status of Juren, and he can already move forward independently without Jia’s family.

   There is also Jia Baoyu, who got Feng Ziying's promise to go to the Imperial Academy to make a living in the future, and he was also very excited. During this period of time, he also restrained a lot, staying at home honestly, waiting for the future to enter the Imperial Academy to imbue himself with the atmosphere of a scholar.

  These situations made Jia Lian's mind fluctuate a little, and he hoped to come back to see the changes in Jia's family.

  Jia Lian came back, Wang Xifeng came back, Sister Qiao and Hu Zi, plus Wang Ziteng, Qin Keqing and Shi Xiangyun, and Zhen Baoyan, Shuitang and Mu Tan, all of them were complicated and seemed to be closely related to me.

   Feng Ziying really felt that this holiday would be better than nothing, and she felt a little out of control.

  After receiving the news that Feng Ziying was going to pay a visit to the mansion, the entire Jia family became restless.

   Today is different from the past. The Jia family no longer has the glory of the past, and has even been reduced to a situation where it has to rely on charity for a living.

  After moving to Mingshifang, everyone including Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and others felt that the conditions here were more suitable and were very satisfied.

In terms of scale, although it is not as large as the two Rongning mansions combined, nor is it as luxurious as the Rongguo mansion after the Grand View Garden was built, but as the residence of the king of Dongping County, it has a moderate location and an elegant environment. So many people are needed to take care of it, so the cost will be much lower.

  Another key factor is that it is far away from the area where the Jia family lives in Jinchengfang, and there are fewer fetters and clansmen who come to fight the autumn wind.

Of course, during the spring break, some members of the Jia clan had already "discovered" this place, and they began to come here one after another, which also made the Jia family realize that it is impossible to get rid of this group of clan members who are like tarsus maggots, but it can count as less. Some, how many can be saved is counted as a few.

   "It's rare, Brother Keng is going to pay a special visit to the mansion, which shows that people have not disliked the poor and loved the rich just because our family is down and out."

   Jia Zheng stroked his beard and smiled, his rare mood improved a lot.

  After experiencing the catastrophe of being imprisoned in Nanjing and being forced to serve as the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, his energy is not as good as before.

When he returned to the capital, he lived in a simple life, didn’t make friends with outsiders, and rarely went out, but now he is the only older generation in the family. His elder brother Jia She is still serving his sentence in Shaanxi, and he doesn’t know when it will end. , if it is really necessary to wait for the amnesty and serve the sentence, it is estimated that this old bone can only be left there.

  But I don’t know how to solve this problem, and I count on Feng Ziying to help, but I rely on others for everything. Even if you marry the daughter of Jia’s family, not everything can be handled satisfactorily for you.

"Yeah, when we moved here, it was brother Keng who arranged everything for us. Jia Zhen and brother Rong also came back. The whole family, not to mention reunion, at least they can get together." A general idea, it depends on the boss..."

  Mother Jia also sighed and raised her head.

Amber next to him hurriedly put a handkerchief on the ground for Jiamu, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then Jiamu said again: "We still have to thank you for coming. We still count on Brother Keng for Baoyu's affairs, and Brother Huan this year's Chunwei Grand Competition." , is very important, next year, Lang Geer still has a chance,..."

Mrs. Wang also took up the conversation: "Sister Feng said that she is going back to Beijing on the tenth day of the new year, and she is going to visit her elder brother. Then she will definitely come here to visit her ancestors, and Lian'er's side is similar. Maybe I want to talk about Sister Qiao. My son's marriage,..."

"Hmph, of course Feng girl is welcome, but Lian'er is a heartless person. His father is still suffering in Shaanxi, but he is ignoring him in Yangzhou. How many times has he come back this year? The second girl has been back for half a year. Three or four times, there are difficulties in the house, the second girl is not in charge of the Feng family, she still knows how to help, but what about Lian'er? I heard that he raised two Yangzhou skinny horses and spent a few cents. A thousand taels of silver really got him used to it, so did Brother Keng,..."

  As soon as Jia's mother said Jia Lian's rich and noble group, her face turned cold, and her face was full of anger.

   To be precise, among the men in charge, Jia Lian is the best.

   Haitong Yinzhuang Yangzhou has always been the best place for business in the entire Haitong system.

  Without him, Yangzhou is rich and full of salt merchants, and the Haitong Yinzhuang brand is there. Anyone who goes, as long as he is not too stupid, can get away.

  Jia Lian is also from everyone's background, has seen some world experience, and has a good temper. He can compete with those businessmen in Yangzhou in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, so the cards are also passable.

  The business of Yangzhou has always been good, and after Feng Ziying slept with Wang Xifeng, she still felt a little guilty, so she took good care of her there.

  Now Jia Lian’s salary has reached 8,000 taels of silver per year, and with the addition of some other income from flowery red envelopes, it’s easy to exceed 10,000 taels a year.

  With such income, how can Jia Lian bear it?

  Last year, he took another concubine and raised a foreign house outside. His life was extremely nourishing, and he couldn't even think of the difficulties of a large family in Beijing.

  Originally, Jia Lian had a lot of opinions on Jia's mother's preference for the second wife and Jia Baoyu's pampering.

  Now that the Jia family is down and out, there are air leaks in all directions, and they need money to help them, so they think about themselves.

  Why don't you ask Baoyu? He is also the son of a legitimate son. He is in his early twenties. If he can't do anything, he just knows how to mess around. Why?

  My own money is not brought by strong winds. Is it easy to eat, drink and gamble with clients all year round?

   There is still a big family in the family, two sons have given birth to, and a daughter, this is not considered Qiao, how can I have so much energy to take care of these crap?

  The Xing family is the aunt, no matter how unreasonable it is, so I can occasionally go back to the north to help, isn't there a second sister in Beijing, it's almost the same.
