Chapter 2487: Guizi Juan Er mentioned the face order,

  Chapter 2487 The gui character rolls ear to mention the face, and comes to Jia's house

  Feng Ziying didn't talk much about Jia Jing's issue, because Jia Zhen obviously didn't know his father's plans and thoughts, so he only said that Jia Jing's side had already negotiated and would not return to Beijing for the time being.

   I have to say that the father and son Jia Zhen and Jia Rong disappointed Jia Jing very much. Jia Jing never revealed anything to the father and son about many things, which shows that he is worried about his children and grandchildren.

  Perhaps as Jia Jing himself said, keeping them ignorant of many things is actually a kind of protection for them, allowing them to avoid getting involved in unnecessary troubles, and they do not have the ability to deal with these troubles and solve problems.

  Of course, in order to forgive everyone in the Jia family, Feng Ziying also told everyone that Jia Jing is all well and has been pardoned, but he is temporarily staying in Jiangnan to avoid unnecessary troubles.

  Feng Ziying did not lie. Jia Jing was very disappointed with the performance of Prince Yizhong, or Emperor Wantong. It was because of this that he had other plans early on.

  In Jia Jing’s view, Yi Wantong’s clumsy performance of only trying to keep his line of the throne will only be firmly suppressed by the civil servants, and he will never have a chance to stand up.

  Under such circumstances, choosing the side of Emperor Wantong was just asking for trouble, so he also flatly rejected Emperor Wantong's solicitation after he ascended the throne, saying that he had no interest in state affairs, and just wanted to be free and spend the rest of his life leisurely.

  However, after Feng Ziying had an in-depth conversation with him, Jia Jing's tone softened slightly.

  Feng Ziying hoped that Jia Jing could help him sort out some contacts in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the contacts of the gentry in the inland areas in the south and west and in Jiangxi.

  Feng Ziying's familiar merchant groups are mainly concentrated along the river and the sea, and she is not so familiar with inland areas such as Jiangxi and South Zhili.

Jia Jing followed Prince Yizhong in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and he was especially familiar with the connections in Jiangxi. Feng Ziying hoped that he would make use of his residual heat, and the reason and condition he gave was that he would help the Jia family slowly regain their vitality and let the Jia family recover. The Jia family will not completely fall to the bottom.

  In Feng Ziying's view, this is a united front strategy, taking all the resources that can be used for his own use.

  No matter what happened in the past, even Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong can find some common ground, so why can’t Jia Jing join hands.

  After negotiating with Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, Feng Ziying naturally had to go to Jia's mother's courtyard to visit the female relatives.

  Mother Jia needless to say, Mrs. Wang is about to become her future mother-in-law. If the concubine is also considered a "wife", she is also Tanchun's aunt, let alone Yuanchun.

  Xing is also Yingchun's aunt.

   There are also Li Wan and Youshi.

  Years ago, Li Wan met twice, one was happy to comfort lovesickness, and the other was to meet her two cousins.

   On the contrary, Coco Li and Li Qi were very surprised that his cousin seemed younger and more enchanting than a few years ago.

  Especially dressing up and rouge face powder, these are not cheap at first glance, but isn’t it very difficult for the Jia family now to rely on the Feng family for relief?

  In such a situation, no matter what, you need to restrain yourself, so as not to cause people to criticize you, right?

  They also felt that the cousin was in a very good mood, not to mention, and she had a sense of carefree and unrestrained appearance, which was completely different from the haggard and desireless appearance a few years ago.

   Is it really because Lang Geer passed the Xiucai exam that she suddenly rejuvenated?

   Coco Lee and Li Qi even mentioned this strange change to Feng Ziying, which made them puzzled, but made Feng Ziying feel guilty.

   I don’t know how they will think about one day when they find out that they have been the guests of their cousin who has been virgin for many years. Will their image collapse suddenly?

  So the relationship between Feng Ziying and Li Wan has become more and more indifferent.

   Tanchun, Xichun, and Xiangyun are not here.

  After all, they are waiting to be married, and facing their fiancé-in-law, at least they have to avoid it publicly, but after the elders leave the stage, meeting them in private is actually not as rigid as imagined.

  In addition to reporting the good things discussed with Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, it was inevitable that these people would also ask about the situation in Jiangnan, and Feng Ziying also answered them one by one.

   Of course, Baoyu's "work arrangement" is more important.

  The Hanlin Academy is not so easy to get into, but Guan Yingzhen is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and it is still safe to arrange a ninth-rank waiting for Feng Ziying.

   Solve an Engong first, and then transfer to the Hanlin Academy, which is actually a routine operation.

  Before Feng Ziying went to the south of the Yangtze River, Feng Ziying asked Guan Yingzhen to use Emperor Wantong to settle the tribute of some officials and wealthy children when he came to the throne to solve Jia Baoyu.

   Now it has been put on hold for a few more months. When the situation has calmed down, it will not cause much commotion if people are quietly stuffed into the Imperial Academy.

  Those who have really won tribute are all looking forward to being promoted and earning money, at least starting from the seventh rank.

Waiting edicts like the Imperial Academy are only from the ninth rank, not to mention the last among the low-level, and it is still a Qingshui yamen, with a low official rank, but after all, they are officials, not officials, and Jia Baoyu and the Jia family value this aura the most. , which is different from what others expected.

  Feng Ziying's opinion is to wait until after the Chunwei Grand Competition, and then find another opportunity to stuff Jia Baoyu in.

  Hearing this letter, the whole Jia family is grateful.

  Jia Baoyu's affairs have become a demon for Jia's family. If Jia Baoyu's affairs are not arranged properly, in the words of Jia's mother, she will not die with peace.

  Now the marriage between Jia Baoyu and Niu's side is also lukewarm, and Niu's quarrels go back to her natal family every three days, which makes Jia Baoyu so disturbed that she almost wants to make up.

  Of course, this is just talk. It is already a laughing stock for Jia Lian and Lian to leave. If Jia Baoyu wants to reconcile, the sky will really fall.

  However, Feng Ziying felt that the Jia family didn’t seem to have changed their mentality. Is the current Jia family still the same as the Jia family at the time of Rongning Second Mansion?

  Where can we talk about reputation and prestige, even the daily expenses have to be financed by the Feng family, do we still need to consider these things?

  In the capital city, there are so many noble families that have faded over time.

  The four kings are not so bleak, and the eight princes, such as the Shi family and the Ma family, have long since disappeared and been reduced to abject poverty.

   Needless to say about Jia Huan, Jia Lan and Jia Cong, everything was in Feng Ziying's plan.

   It’s just that Jia Cong is a little more troublesome, that is, we can’t talk about it until Jia Amnesty’s problem is resolved, but fortunately, Jia Cong is still young, so he doesn’t have to worry too much about this, and there is still time.

   After talking about things, it's time for lunch, so naturally I have to save the meal.

   In the morning, I talk to my elders. After lunch, I will inevitably talk to my peers, which can be regarded as an instruction to them.

"There is no need for Baoyu to be anxious. During this period of time, he cultivated his mind and cultivated his character in the mansion, read more collections of classics and history, entered the Imperial Academy, and learned more from his colleagues. Moreover, after the Spring Festival, Xinke Sandingjia and Shuji scholars also You have to come in to watch the politics, and you can also communicate with them well..."

"Brother Huan, you are good at studying. Don't think that passing the exam will make you supercilious. There is still a long way to go. Chunwei and Qiuwei are two different things. I don't think you may be able to do this subject. The possibility of the next subject is probably still there. Bigger."

"Brother Lang and Brother Cong, don't be discouraged. This subject is Enke, and the next subject will be the real one. Study hard. There are roads in the mountains of books and hard work. The sea of ​​learning is boundless and hard work. You can experience it yourself... "

   After some reminders, the Jia family's nephews were full of gratitude.

  Jia Huan's relationship is unusual, so naturally he wants to meet alone.

   "Do you want to leave Jia's house?" Feng Ziying frowned.

"Brother Feng, I actually had this idea a long time ago, before the accident happened at home, but then the situation changed so fast that I had no room to resist, so I could only passively get involved, and it turned out like this , I am really reconciled."

  Jia Huan is a bit more calm than before. After all, he is still an eighteen-year-old youth, but there is still a bit of stubbornness and gloomy in his brows.

   "Jia's family has become like this now. If you leave, you will bear some unnecessary reputation. Have you ever thought about it?"

  Feng Ziying looked at Jia Huan.

"So what? I don't care about these anymore. What have I gained in Jia's family for so many years? Isn't the second elder brother Bao going to enter the Imperial Academy now? Isn't this the way to get ahead, and I don't need me, a concubine, to replace Jia. Is the family honoring the ancestors?"

   Jia Huan's words were a little more teasing and disdainful, and the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed his true inner thoughts.

   If it weren't for the support of Brother Feng, Baoyu would have been able to enter the Imperial Academy?

  So what if he entered the Hanlin Academy?

   Jia Huan thought it was a joke.

   I don’t know what the family members think. When you enter the Imperial Academy, you have to go in openly like Brother Feng, and come out in a dignified way. That’s the way to honor your ancestors.

  Sneaking in through the back door through Ngong like this is an unpopular trail and will only be ridiculed by others.

Hearing the anger in Jia Huan's words, Feng Ziying also felt that it was a bit difficult to handle. The third child in Huan had such an extreme personality. The family's grievances accumulated deeper and deeper.

"Brother Huan, as a scholar, you still have to pay attention to the filial piety of your own reputation, and you need to pay more attention to it, and your mother will definitely not leave Jia's house. How are you going?" Feng Ziying was referring to Jia Huan's biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and Not Wang.

  Jia Huan also understood, with a look of hesitation on his face, "Third sister married Brother Feng, and in the future, third sister can also take care of her,..."

"Nonsense, your third sister is your third sister, and you are you!" Feng Ziying's face darkened, "In this way, if you are a Jinshi in today's scientific examination, needless to say, I can't agree with you leaving home, it will only give people a handle, Of course, if you want to go outside, that’s another way of saying it. If you don’t pass the exam and you say you want to travel and study, I can agree with that. Then your third sister will also pass the door, and it will be convenient to go back to Jia’s house,..."
