Chapter 747: end of the year

  Chapter 747 E-character scroll at the end of the year

  The end of the seven years of Wing Long has finally come.

  The heavy snow covered the entire capital city in white snow. For the Feng family, this was also the first Chinese New Year of the Feng family after they got married.

  Shen Yixiu also began to passively get involved in the Feng family's busy holidays. There was no reason for the mother-in-law to work hard, but the daughter-in-law was able to sneak in her busy schedule. After two or three days of busy work, Shen Yixiu felt that this old woman was really not easy to be.

  Although the two mother-in-laws didn't let go completely, they obviously started to want to hand over power, and Shen Yixiu had to learn how to handle all the arrangements for the whole new year.

"My husband, I really don't want to get up, can you let the two younger sisters of the You family come to help me?" Shen Yixiu, who leaned against Feng Ziying's arms and finally got up, said coquettishly, "How about a year? With so many things, it seems that there were not so many things for the concubine in the Shen residence in the past."

   "In the past, you ate ready-made food, opened your mouth when you needed food, and stretched out your hands when you needed clothes. Now you have to take care of it yourself. Of course it's different."

  Looking at Qingwen, who was smiling with her mouth pursed, while putting on an embroidered jacket and a cotton skirt for Shen Yixiu, Feng Ziying stood up, revealing her strong body, and Yunshang also stood aside to help Feng Ziying dress.

"My lord is not quite right. There are many more things in our house than before. For various livelihoods, the young lady has to settle the accounts during this period. Grandma is not familiar with it yet, so she naturally feels tired." Yun Shang helped Shen Yixiu explain.

"Yeah, isn't that what Yun Chang said?" Shen Yixiu finally wrapped up his coveted body. The scarlet bellyband was covered with a small lake silk gown, and an embroidered jacket with fox armpit trim was added, and finally Only then did he put on a long cotton skirt, "Sir, would you like to ask the two younger sisters of the You family to help?"

   "Wan Jun, this is your business. If you ask them two to help, they will definitely not refuse, but they are afraid that they are not as good as you, right?" Feng Ziying has some doubts about the Youshi sisters' ability in this regard.

Third Sister You is careless and straightforward, and it is unreliable to manage things like this in the house, while Second Sister You is kind and timid. If it weren't for her status as an aunt, Feng Ziying reckoned that any maid could ride on her head, and Take care of things?

"Grandma, what I said makes sense. Auntie Dayou is too pure and kind-hearted. The food from the girl in the kitchen was a little cold, and she didn't say anything. If it wasn't for the slaves who happened to meet, the women in the kitchen would bully others." , the servant wants to heat up the kitchen, but Aunt You still says it’s a rare trouble,... As for Aunt You, the servant feels a bit decisive and murderous, but Aunt You is no longer thinking about it, but wants to make peace all day long Grandpa competed with fists and swords,..."

   Speaking of this, Qingwen herself finds it funny.

Auntie You, big and small, are also a pair of wonderful sisters. Auntie You was born tall and big, but she is timid and thin-skinned. They say that the Hu girl is fierce and wild, and she is wilder than men on the border. , but I can't see this kind of thing in her body, she is even more timid and honest than the ordinary girls of the big family.

  The little Aunt You went to another extreme, blindly obsessed with boxing and sword kung fu, besides liking to cling to the master, she usually practiced boxing and sword in the house, making a fuss.

   I don’t know if this practice of martial arts is to compete with the master on the bed? I never heard that this little Aunt You, who is highly skilled in martial arts, is the most useless on the bed. She was so tossed by the master that she threw away her helmet and armor and surrendered her gun without killing her.

  Bah, why did I think of such a thing?

  Qingwen's face was a little feverish, could it be that she waited in the inner and outer rooms of grandma's room all day long, and she had seen it a lot, and she was really as happy as grandma said?

  Hearing Qingwen's evaluation of the Youshi sisters in this way, Feng Ziying felt that this girl was quite accurate, and her evaluation was very pertinent.

"Well, I'll talk to my mother and aunt first, and then I'll ask them what the two sisters mean. I'm not in a hurry. Today is the Chinese New Year, and tomorrow will be Yonglong's eighth year. New year and new atmosphere , and hope that our Feng family can have a better year." Feng Ziying smoothed things over.

   "Well, the servant girl also wishes that grandma will give birth to a young master as soon as possible next year, so that the wife and concubine can rest assured." Qingwen finally helped Shen Yixiu put on the clothes, and then stood beside Mrs. Tang with her arms in her arms.

  Feng Ziying glanced at Qingwen, teasingly said: "You are good at flattering your lips, why don't you think when your grandma will have it?"

  Qingwen blushed all of a sudden, and spat, "Your master is not serious, how can the servants know? That should be the master's business."

Shen Yixiu, the client, was amused by the two master and servant. Fortunately, she also knew that Feng Ziying had always liked Qingwen's temper, so she didn't think it was disobedient, and glared at Feng Ziying. Today, tomorrow, my father will just comb Qingwen and Yunshang together, so as not to save this girl from arguing with you all day long,..."

   "Grandma!" Qingwen was anxious.

   "Why, Qingwen, are you still not happy?" Shen Yixiu also teased Qingwen, "Could it be that you still have other thoughts and want to go out?"

  Seeing Yun Shang covering her mouth and giggling, at this moment, Qingwen didn't understand that the couple came to tease her, and stomped her feet bitterly, "Why did grandma come to bully the slaves together with the master?"

"Then if you don't bully who you bully, can you still bully the Lord? You say that the You family sisters are honest people, so you can't bully honest people, right? After all the calculations, this mansion can only bully you." Feng Ziying laughed happily when she saw Qingwen's delicate and angry appearance.

   Such boudoir pleasures are naturally not humane, but it makes the relationship between master and servant closer.

  ******

   "Have all the gardens in your mansion been built?" Feng Ziying sat in Jia Huan's room and looked around.

Since Jia Huan went to Qingtan Academy to study, his status in the mansion has risen visibly to the naked eye, and now a small courtyard has been specially arranged for him, although he seldom comes back now, even with Aunt Zhao's back is tougher than before a lot.

"It's probably built, right? It doesn't have much to do with me, and I don't care much about it." Jia Huan curled his lips, as if he didn't take what Feng Ziying said about the garden, and took the teacup with both hands, solemnly The matter was presented to Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying took the teacup and nodded: "Well, Qingtan Academy's Qiuwei exam is so-so. It is said that your head is very dissatisfied. He thinks that too many students are recruited, which affects the quality of the academy's teaching. It is estimated that it will be more strict after the new year. In the future, local students will only be able to go home for a day to rest for a month, so it is estimated that you will not have much time to come back in the next three years."

"Yes, Master Zhou Shan is very strict. I originally thought that my family's scriptures were not bad, but only after I arrived at the academy did I realize that I belong to the worst part, so I don't dare to belittle. Make up for the deficiencies, so as not to embarrass Brother Feng."

   Jia Huan's demeanor is more calm, but a little anxious. Feng Ziying probably entered such an environment suddenly and felt the huge pressure brought by the gap between himself and others.

   "Is there still no problem with the monthly and quarterly exams?" Feng Ziying asked with concern.

  If she failed the monthly and quarterly exams, Feng Ziying estimated that Jia Huan would really have no face to see herself.

"Thank you, Brother Feng, for your concern. I almost failed the first monthly exam, but the second one is much better. Now I can basically rank around 280 among the 330 people in the entire West Garden. , but it is already much better than the previous few times, my goal is to raise the ranking to about 200 next year, and to about 100 the year after, and strive to pass the exam in the autumn of the tenth year of Yonglong."

  Jia Huan couldn't help but waved his hand at this point to show his determination.

   "Well, I have ambition!" Feng Ziying gave a word of encouragement, and took a sip from the teacup.

"Keep a solid foundation in the classics and meanings. This year and next year your focus will still be on the classics and meanings. In the next year, I will find a way to make up for you on the theory of supplementary time policy, although the weight of current policy theory in Qiuwei is not as important as economic However, when everyone is almost at the same level of Jingyi and it is difficult to distance themselves, current policy theory is often the key, so you must strive to make your Jingyi level at the same level as others, so that you can pass the time when Qiu Wei passes. Policy theory wins."

   Jia Huan's eye circles couldn't help turning red again, and he got up and wanted to kneel down to salute Feng Ziying. Brother Feng treated him like a nephew. Jia Huan couldn't repay this kind of kindness even though he was broken to pieces.

  In Qingtan Academy, he truly understood what a real scholar group is.

All the students in this academy are basically well-known scholars in the prefecture and county where their hometown is located, but they have to behave well in the academy, even those from the East Garden who have obtained the qualifications for juren Brothers, there is also no arrogance in the academy, humility and restraint, which makes people heartbroken.

  Because of this, he cherishes such an opportunity more and more.

Also in the academy, Brother Feng’s experience is also a legendary story, especially Brother Feng’s outstanding performance in current policy theory, which has been passed down as a good story in the academy. Almost every year, the academy invites Brother Feng to return to the academy to give a speech, which is to introduce Every year, the key points of the imperial court's current affairs will guide the students.

  Now Brother Feng actually wants to guide him specially. This is an opportunity that every student in the entire academy dreams of and can't get. It can be said that some students can't buy such an opportunity even if they pay ten thousand taels of silver.

  Seeing Jia Huan's expression and movements, Feng Ziying frowned. How can people show their emotions so easily these days, and they will cry red tears at every turn. Both men and women are like this, and he is not used to it.

He waved his hands and tried to make himself as pleasant as possible, "What's the matter, brother Huan, how can a man follow Madam and cry like this? If you have this heart, why not put it to good use in your studies, as long as you can do well in the exam, you will be the greatest gift to me." grateful!"
