Chapter 431 Volume C

  Feng Ziying stayed in Qingtan Academy until dark before leaving.

  In addition to pointing out the studies of former classmates, he also chatted with these classmates alone, and of course Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun were indispensable.

   Xu Qixun and Sun Chuanting needless to say, they will have the closest relationship with Feng Ziying in the academy.

Although the relationship between Song Shixiang and Fu Zonglong is not as good as that of Xu and Sun, they are still quite close, but one of them is a few years older than Feng Ziying, and the other is because they can't let go because of some emotional disputes. When they get closer in the later stage, they are slightly inferior to Xu and Sun.

  Song Shixiang’s side, Feng Ziying felt that this person should still be able to take a moderate path in the future, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple should be more suitable for this person, so Feng Ziying also talked about some topics in a targeted manner, and Song Shixiang was also very grateful.

  Fu Zonglong's side should be more targeted, such as the struggle for the Southwest Liutu. Fu Zonglong was originally from Kunming, so he naturally knows the situation there, so he is also very interested in military affairs.

  After two years of hard work, Feng Ziying felt that the standards of these students should have improved, and they should be more confident in the next subject.

  When she got home and saw a lot of posts and gifts on the concierge, Feng Ziying also felt a headache.

   This strategy of opening the sea is indeed like touching a huge hornet's nest. All forces are mobilized, and the interests involved are broad. It is hard to say who will go first and who will go up.

  As Feng Ziying and Xu Xie said, now everyone has no idea and is starting from scratch, so there are too many uncertainties about who will take the lead, or even come from behind.

Perhaps just a word from a court official in the court can change the fate of a place and a family. Although Feng Ziying is nothing in the court in terms of seniority and qualifications, his status is too special. proposed, and even many frameworks were first proposed.

Although the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War are leading the submission to the cabinet for discussion, on many issues, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War must ask Feng Ziying if they are unclear or uncertain. The next impression, even if it may not come in handy this time, but what about the next time?

   What's more, Feng Ziying was valued by the imperial court at such a young age, and he has a bright future in the future. Forging this good relationship can be regarded as laying the foundation for the future.

Feng Ziying looked at these posts, not only from Su Jinling, Ningbo, Longyou, Dongting, Huizhou, Fujian, Shanshan, Guangdong and Guangxi merchant associations, but also some were directly sent by a certain place, such as Longyouyu Shi, Hu, Dongting Weng, Wang, Xu, Fujian Lin, Li.

The gifts sent are also varied, from pens, inks, paper and inkstones to silk tea, from glazed porcelain to medicinal materials and local products, and the value of these gifts is well grasped, most of them are between thirty and fifty taels of silver, which is not an exaggeration. But it's also worth a lot.

These gentry merchants and guild hall merchants have long been familiar with this method of giving gifts and making friends, and know how to maximize their favor, which will not make it too difficult for you to refuse, but also allow you to appreciate his heart. Even Feng Ziying has to admit that these businessmen are indeed deeply involved in this way, which makes it difficult for you to feel disgusted.

   "Master, Madam wants you to go to her room." Seeing Feng Ziying's return, Jin Chuan'er hastily reminded, "Madam seems a little displeased with these visiting cards and gifts."

  Feng Ziying laughed, "Yes, I see."

   Needless to say, my mother must be a little worried. Seeing that I have just gained a reputation, I naturally don't want such things to affect my future future, so I have to remind myself to beat myself.

   Sure enough, when she arrived at her mother's room, Mrs. Duan directly asked about the endless stream of invitations and gifts in the past few days.

"Mother, don't worry, my son knows it well. In fact, my mother must have seen it. These posts must be returned. I just came to send a post to make sure they are familiar. They are all local gentry and merchants. How can my son have much contact with them? Besides, my son also saw the presents they sent here, and they were all very modest, but they were just ordinary local products, even if the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Long Jinwei came, it wouldn't matter too much."

Seeing that Feng Ziying is calm and confident, Duan's heart is much more stable. In fact, he also knows that with his son's mind, such things must be considered carefully, but he is still worried that his son is too young to see through it. But when Feng Ziying said this, she also knew that she was worrying unfoundedly.

"Brother Keng, you have always had an idea, so Mother doesn't say much. How to deal with it, you make up your own mind. Your father is not here. If you are not sure, go to your two teachers and listen to their opinions. .” Duan nodded.

"Don't worry, mother, my son is looking for a big future, why would he stumble on these things? Besides, our Feng family is not a family that lacks these things, why bother to do something worthless for a little profit Activities?" Feng Ziying said to her mother to rest assured, "I also told the door, if the source is unknown or too expensive, it must be put aside alone, if it is inappropriate, it will be dealt with separately."

"Well, don't worry, mother." Duan nodded, "Brother Keng, you are also sixteen years old, and your uncle's room is to marry a daughter of the Shen family according to your father's intention, but we I'm afraid Yifang has to think about it as soon as possible. If your teacher has a suitable family, you might as well ask your teacher to consider it for you. If not, there are many people who have come to the door to inquire, so my mother will make the decision for you."

Duan still respects Feng Ziying's two teachers very much. In her opinion, both Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia are important ministers in the court, and they are low-level civil servants. It is of course the best to have a suitable family. She also believes that her son is so talented that he will definitely be able to find him, but in terms of age, it cannot be delayed any longer. The age of sixteen is a good time to discuss marriage. You can get married within a few years, and strive to continue the incense for the Feng family before the age of twenty.

  The infant mortality rate is very high these days. Basically, it is difficult to be sure that they are alive if they are less than seven or eight years old, so the best way is to have more children.

"Uh, mother, don't be impatient. Since the father and the teacher have agreed that Shen's daughter will be the eldest wife, there is no need to worry too much about the third wife. Besides, Master Qi and Master Qiao are also looking for a suitable family for their son, so For the time being, mother should not promise to other families."

Feng Ziying can only take the tactic of delaying the attack. For the time being, Sister Lin and Sister Bao dare not speak out to his mother, otherwise he will definitely attract her mother's firm opposition. Bring this matter to light.

Lin Yatou is almost thirteen years old now, but her body is still a little thin. If her mother finds out about it, she will definitely not agree to it; Baochai is in good health, but the imperial business family and the loss of her father may not be able to make her mother feel uncomfortable. Accept, this also needs timing, Feng Ziying also feels a headache when thinking of these.

Mrs. Duan glanced at her son suspiciously. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell. Fortunately, the marriage of Shen's daughter was to be finalized in all aspects, which could be regarded as a major event for the Feng family. up.

  When Feng Ziying stepped into the gate of Jia's Mansion again, she could feel the different changes in Jia's Mansion.

   "Congratulations." It can be said that people are in good spirits when they have a happy event. Feng Ziying saw that Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu's mental state was different, especially Jia Baoyu, whose wandering eyes were looking around and looking forward to the sky, it was really different.

"Hehe, why should Ziying be polite? Why do Jia and Feng's family need this?" Jia Lian shook his head slightly. Wang Ziteng's transfer to the newly established Governor of Deng Lai was just because his daughter-in-law was more proud, and it had nothing to do with him.

  Of course, for the rest of the Jia family, they are all in high spirits, and they seem to feel that the Jia family is going to embark on the road of royal relatives from now on.

   "Second brother Lian's words are wrong. This kind of thing is still gratifying and congratulatory. Although it is not appropriate to make a big fanfare, but the etiquette must be followed." Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Are Shibo Xie and Uncle Zheng Shi here?"

A few days ago, a series of personnel changes in the court finally came to an end. Qi Yongtai was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials and a Bachelor of Dongge University; Li Tingji was appointed Minister of Rites and a Bachelor of Dongge University; Li Sancai was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry; Vice capital censor.

  The current cabinet is also filled with four people. The first assistant Ye Xianggao is a bachelor of Jinshendian, the second assistant Fang Congzhe is a bachelor of Wuyingdian, Qi Yongtai and Li Tingji are both bachelors of Dongge.

"They're all here. When I heard that Ziying is coming, the two masters are waiting." Jia Lian said with a smile: "The two masters don't quite understand the big commotion in the court this time, so I would like to ask Ziying to explain it for you." Just a moment."

  Feng Ziying laughed, "Uncle Zheng Shi only needs to go to the prince's place for a while, doesn't he know everything?"

   "Second Uncle Wang also has too many guests during this period, and the master wants to avoid suspicion, so it is not easy to go there." Jia Lian explained.

In fact, Feng Ziying should have known about these changes earlier than the Jia family. Of course, Jia Yuanchun did not know that Fengzao Palace was selected, but the imperial court established the governor of Denglai, Wang Ziteng was appointed as the governor of Denglai, and Niu Jizong was transferred to the governor of Xuanda. After some deliberation, it was finally finalized.

Feng Ziying didn't know how the Taishanghuang and the emperor negotiated, but soon these changes were finalized, and by the way, there was a matter that Jia Yuanchun chose Fengzao Palace, which made Feng Ziying feel this situation There are still many unexplainable things hidden behind the contest game.

  The Jia family was brought into this whirlpool either actively or passively, and they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster.

   I have something to do at home today, only this update.
