Chapter 49 Volume A: The Feng Family

In addition to their mother-in-law, Jia Yucun and Lin Daiyu also had two attendants from Jia Yucun and Lin Daiyu's maid and wet nurse, as well as several family members sent by the Duke of Rongguo to pick them up.

At that time, I thought that we would just go ashore for a casual look and choose a lion cat to comfort Lin Daiyu's loneliness when she left home, so a woman took Lin Daiyu ashore together with Jia Yucun.

From the bottom of his heart, Jia Yucun was actually more willing to stay for two more days. He was very interested in everything Feng Ziying showed, which meant that there might be a big shot in Feng Ziying or behind him. If he could make good friends with Feng Ziying, he would gain one or two more It is unknown whether this may help me recover in the future.

Xue Jun also has this idea.

 He is a businessman, travels all over the country, and needs to make more connections with various people.

The Xue family is now in decline. The other three of the four major families can still have a good appearance, but the Xue family can't even hold on to the surface. The eldest family has withered. As the second family member, he can't expect the other three families to be able to survive. How much help you can provide him depends on yourself.

There is such a connection, and although Feng Ziying is young, she seems to have a good reputation. Xue Jun is a little pity. If his daughter had not been engaged to the son of Mei Hanlin in Beijing since she was a child, he would have considered whether Feng Ziying could be considered. .

But his brother's daughter is also a good choice, and it is reasonable to match the Feng family. He is afraid that his sister-in-law has poor vision and hopes to climb a high branch. Thinking of this, Xue Jun can't help but shake his head.

 But no matter what, it is very beneficial to make good friends with Feng Ziying.

"Well, I can ask Uncle You to say hello later. It's no wonder that our Feng family lacks etiquette. We are passing by Linqing, but we meet by chance and have such a situation. It is finally a fate."

Feng Ziying has completely replaced Feng You at this time and has become the head of the Feng family in Linqing. She looks a little interesting as a little adult, and Lin Daiyu who is watching from the side also feels a little more close to her.

“It’s just that our Feng family has almost no one here in the old house. It would be a bit shabby to settle down, so please don’t laugh at us.”

Even if the words were tactful, they were quite decent. Jia Yucun and Xue Jun didn't think anything of it, but Feng You and Ruixiang were surprised and slowly accepted the changes of the little master. After all, it was more I have already experienced all the big surprises, so this is nothing.

Not long after they came out of the secret room, everyone was a little sleepy because they had been up all night. Now that the situation had settled down, Feng Ziying arranged for Uncle Fu and his family to clean up the relatively good room in Ronghua Hall. Get ready for everyone to rest.

Although the house was set on fire, it was not a big deal for Feng Mansion to enter the courtyard. There were many rooms for resting, so it was not a problem.

"Uncle You, do you think there are too few people in our mansion here? Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu are not as deserted as they are, and it is inconvenient to take care of them." Feng Ziying thought about the population of her mansion in Beijing, although it is not that big. There are many, but they are still a family of one hundred people, not counting the people in the village outside Wanping outside the city.

"Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu are not the only ones. The farm work is about to begin, and there are also several local gardeners and women who are doing chores in the house. They have all been sent back. Originally, they had to wait for a while before returning, but they never thought of such a wait. thing."

 Feng You didn't know what was going on here, and he heard what Uncle Fu said.

“Brother Keng, it’s rare for me to come back here every few years, and I still hope to return to Datong Mansion. The houses in Datong Mansion are still there, so the old house here…”

"Oh?" Feng Keng also realized that there were still people there, but they were all here to help according to the busy season, and they were not considered regular people. "I think this old Linqing house will be used in the future, eh?" , it is better to let Uncle Fu look for some people with a clean family background to add more people to the house, so that the coming and going will not be taken care of and inconvenient."

 Feng You hesitated for a moment.

In his opinion, this old Linqing house is of little use. The old man has not been back for seven or eight years. Of course, this is also because he has been in Datong, but even if the old man is idle in Beijing, he has never returned to Linqing. The idea is that there is really no need to add more manpower here.

Besides, most of the things in this house are made by the wife, and the master doesn’t care about such things. According to Brother Keng’s idea, I’m afraid he has to run a good business, so as not to lose his reputation and lose face. This involves A lot of people will be added.

For example, mothers-in-law, young men, women, maids, plus carpenters, gardeners, plasterers, etc., this may take ten or twenty people.

If you are looking for a clean house, it would be cheap to find someone to help you buy it for your boys and girls. Others can also find some responsible people from the local Feng family branches and leaves, but this monthly salary is not enough. It's a small amount, at least thirty or fifty taels.

This does not include daily expenses, it is estimated to be one or twenty taels per month.

In addition, the mansion also needs to be expanded, and the burned houses will definitely need to be rebuilt. I am afraid that even the thousand taels of silver that Lin Lin finally saved will not be able to afford it. I am afraid that it will be really difficult to deal with my wife when I go back this time. .

It was also the first time for Feng You to follow Brother Keng on this far trip.

 In the past, I always went out with the master, and the master made all the decisions on daily matters. However, this time I went with a twelve-year-old young man, and I had to worry about everything by myself.

That's all. I originally thought that this kind of thing would happen to Linqing, which is on the edge of the canal in Shandong and is also a big land and water dock city in the north.

Maybe the master won't say anything about Brother Keng's dangerous trip, but Feng You knows that his wife will definitely be angry if she finds out about it. Maybe the master will have to eat a meal, and he is afraid that he will also be at his wife's place. Being credited.

Under the circumstances at that time, I don’t know why I just made a fool of myself and agreed to Brother Keng’s debauchery. Now that I think about it, I’m still scared. If something really happened to Brother Keng, I still don’t know. How to explain to the master and his wife.

Now he has to talk to his wife about adding people to repair the house. I'm afraid her wife will be even more unhappy, so he won't get involved in this bad luck.

Thinking of this, Feng You shook his head repeatedly and directly dismissed Feng Ziying's interest: "Brother Keng, please don't embarrass your Uncle You. I'm afraid Uncle You will be punished this time. As for adding people to repair the house, the house has My wife is the housekeeper, you can make your own decision, but I don’t think my wife will agree."

Speaking of this, Feng You's face also looked a little unsightly. He probably realized that this trip back would not be so easy, especially when he had to face his wife, who was watching Brother Keng as if he were destined to have such a big incident. Son, how can we not have an explanation? It was inevitable that he would have to eat a meal of steak and receive some scolding.
