Chapter 652: The Five-character Volume Sword Roars and the West Wind Sisters’ Deep Love

After sending Fang Youdu away, Feng Ziying asked Baoxiang to invite Jia Lian immediately.

Once Lin Ruhai really dies, many things will change. Especially when it is unclear who will be the next Salt Censor of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, the variables will suddenly increase.

Feng Ziying knew very well that when Emperor Yonglong had not yet obtained the military power of the capital city, this position would actually still be decided by the Supreme Emperor. Even though Emperor Yonglong might have a stalemate with the Supreme Emperor, in the end he might just get some compensation in some aspects. .

And that's all Emperor Yonglong wants. He knows very well that it is impossible for him to take this position to himself now.

 The problem is that Lin Ruhai's condition was still stable when he left. How could it suddenly deteriorate and even get out of hand? This made Feng Ziying a little confused.

Of course, Feng Ziying also knows that diseases like Lin Ruhai's are difficult to explain. According to the original doctor's judgment, he is already considered to be very good. The original life expectancy of three to six months has now been six months, and it has happened. Everything is normal.

The problem is that Feng Ziying's judgment is that Lin Ruhai can persist for at least another three to six months, but now he can't survive even one month, which disrupts some of his plans.

It has to be said that the identity of Lin Ruhai's son-in-law still has some weight in the hearts of the salt merchants. Although this has been diluted as he has established his prestige among the salt merchants, many salt merchants who had a relationship with Lin Ruhai were more inclined from the beginning. However, if Lin Ruhai dies of illness and a new salt inspector takes office, many things will become unpredictable.

 So he had to rush back to Yangzhou before the new Salt Patrol Censor took office, and guided them to do many things in the state affairs.

Jia Lian came very quickly. It seemed that the Jia family also got the news. It could be seen from Jia Lian's slightly sad expression.

“Brother Lian, I’m afraid you have to work hard to prepare to leave. We will go south in three days.”

"Well, the letter said that Uncle Lin is critically ill. I'm afraid this is really the end of the road. Maybe by the time we rush over..." Jia Lian shook his head.

This possibility is very high, but we can only do our best. I hope Lin Ruhai can delay it for another ten days and a half.

“Does everyone in the government know?” Feng Ziying asked.

"I know it all. The master and the ancestors are discussing it. Just ask someone to call me. The master asked me to come over to discuss it first and then go back and inform them." Jia Lian shook his head, "There is actually nothing to discuss. That’s right, it’s pretty much what I said before, Uncle Lin is also prepared, it’s just that it’s a little more troublesome to deal with the funeral arrangements.”

After a brief discussion, it was agreed to set off the day after tomorrow. Jia Lian would contact the chartered ship. Feng Ziying still had official business to deal with and had to explain clearly to the cabinet and Guan Yingzhen.

But fortunately, the matter here has been settled long ago, and what is left is Guan Yingzhen's wrangling with the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War.

Feng Ziying went south this time to finalize all the money that should be received and transport it back to the capital. It would be considered a success and Feng Ziying would not need to do anything else.

As soon as Jia Lian left, Jinchuaner came to announce that Ying'er and Shishu had arrived.

Ying'er? Servant?

This makes Feng Ziying a little confused. Baochai and Tanchun's girl are coming to find him?

 “Uh, they came together?”

"No, the front foot chases the back foot. Well, they all met at our door." Jin Chuan'er was also a little strange. Ying'er often came to the house, but mainly to look for Xiang Ling, and Shi Shu never came. This is still first.

 Feng Ziying thought for a while and then understood something.

“Well, okay, let Yinger come in first.” Feng Ziying nodded.

As expected by Feng Ziying, Ying'er and Shishu came to invite Feng Ziying, and their respective ladies had something to do with Feng Ziying.

"What do you think, sister?" Feng Ziying arrived at Baochai's boudoir in Lixiangyuan. When she saw Baochai with a calm face, she couldn't help but asked: "I'm afraid it won't take ten and a half months to come back. If Uncle Lin Passing away may involve a series of follow-up matters. Even if Brother Lian has full authority to handle it, it will probably take some time. If I want to come back, I'm afraid it will take five or six months."

"Sister Lin encountered such a thing, is there anything wrong for me to go and visit? Girl Yun can go to accompany Sister Lin for a few months, but I, the elder sister, can't go?" Baochai looked at it with a gentle smile. Going up there always makes people feel comfortable. "Actually, it's not just my little sister who thought of it. Isn't Tan Yatou also going?"

Feng Ziying was startled, thinking that Ying'er and Shi Shu had met each other. Although they didn't say anything, he had met the two girls separately, but how could Baochai not guess it with his intelligence?

Hmm, in the same way, I guess Tan Yatou also guessed Baochai's thoughts.

 Feng Ziying always felt that Baochai's straightforward explanation was not that simple.

The relationship between Baochai and Daiyu is not as close as that in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and may not even be as close as that of Shi Xiangyun. However, the relationship between Tanchun and Daiyu is probably the best.

Going to Yangzhou at this time can really reflect the deep love between sisters, but Baochai and Tanchun are also going, which makes it really tricky.

"You and Third Sister are going. Sister Lin will definitely welcome you, and you can indeed comfort Sister Lin. It's just that you have to go thousands of miles away..." Feng Ziying couldn't find a suitable reason to stop it, not to mention that he was not willing to stop it at all. , he also hoped that several of Daiyu's close friends could go, so that they could spend more time with her and relax her mood, so as not to be too sad.

“Brother Feng is looking down on my little sister. Didn’t she come to the capital from Jinling a few years ago?” Baochai smiled slightly and said, “How old are you now that you can’t do it anymore?”

Feng Ziying smiled and shook her head, "Brother Yu is not worried about this, he just thinks that my sister..."

Baochai couldn't help but roll her eyes at the man, and turned his face slightly to one side, "Don't you think that Brother Feng still hopes that the relationship between younger sister and younger sister Lin will be closer? Isn't it true that younger sister will visit and accompany younger sister Lin in the future... "

The words suddenly stopped, Baochai seemed to realize that he had made a mistake, and his cheeks turned red.

Feng Ziying suddenly realized that she was also a fool, so why couldn't she understand the mystery here?

Baochai is already preparing for a good relationship with Daiyu as "sister-in-law" in the future. After all, Daiyu has now confirmed that she will marry into the third wife of the Feng family, and she herself may marry the future second wife of the Feng family. In this way first The closer the relationship is, the better things will be for the "sister-in-law" or the sister in the future.

Seeing Feng Ziying's understanding look, Baochai was so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her head.

Sometimes I have a long conspiracy to see things deeper than anyone else, but this kind of thing needs to be reminded to understand. Maybe this is the characteristics of the big things?

Seeing that Baochai was so embarrassed, Feng Ziying felt funny and a little moved, and said softly: "My sister is interested, but my stupid brother is stupid, but he hasn't thought of this yet..."

But Baochai said in a sweet voice: "Brother Feng is focused on official matters, so trivial matters don't matter. What's more, when Sister Lin encounters such a thing, the younger sister should have gone to accompany her. She I am already weak, and I have lost my mother since I was young, so it would be much better to have someone to accompany me, talk to each other, and relax my mood. My little sister has nothing to do in the capital city. It is the same everywhere. It makes sense to go and accompany Sister Lin."

“Well, my sister is very considerate.” Feng Ziying nodded, “I just want to visit the girl, but I don’t know where Uncle Zheng Shi is…”

It makes sense for Baochai to go there, but Feng Ziying is also vaguely aware of his thoughts about Tanchun, but Baochai cannot know these words.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying also felt a headache. Although this was not a Shura field, but considering that several people had some thoughts, they still couldn't explain it clearly, and they had to clarify it on the surface. This kind of occasion is really too particular. Not only is he in trouble, but they are also worried.

 What was learned from Baochai was also learned from Tanchun.

They are all sisters who have a deep love and a strong sense of justice, but Tanchun is not as good as Baochai. She can almost make the decision in the Xue family. She has an idea. Aunt Xue always takes it seriously, and Xue Pan can't interfere, so she doesn't What problem.

But Tanchun is different. She is a concubine, which means that her voice in the family cannot be compared with Xue Baochai. Moreover, even if they have great righteousness, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang may not agree to it, and it is very simple to find reasons.

 This will be up to Feng Ziying to help coordinate.

Fortunately, this is not a big deal. Jia Zheng doesn't pay too much attention to it. Their thoughts are on Jia Lian coordinating the money to be brought back after all subsequent matters are dealt with. This is the most critical thing. .

Feng Ziying simply went to Jia Zheng to tell her about this matter. Jia Zheng was also very happy and supported Tanchun to visit Lin Daiyu in Yangzhou.

When Feng Ziying returned to the mansion, news soon came from the official secretary that both Yingchun and Xichun were interested in going to Yangzhou with him. This really surprised Feng Ziying.

From Feng Ziying's point of view, Yingchun and Xichun's intention to go to Yangzhou was of course different from Tanchun and Baochai's, but they were just touched by Tanchun and Baochai.

There are only a few girls in this house, and with Xiangyun included, three out of five went. This makes it difficult for Yingchun and Xichun to sit still. Of course, it is normal if they don’t want to go, but it is still a good idea to go to Yangzhou. Choice can also fulfill sisterhood.

As a result, four girls were going to Yangzhou. Feng Ziying also felt a big headache, but she had no reason to stop them, so she could only let these girls go, but she hoped that nothing would happen to her on this trip. good.
