Number of romantic figures

Chapter 969
"The empress is back? I'm afraid it's rare to come back." Jia Zhen sighed, "At first, I thought that if the empress made a noble concubine, our Jia family could enjoy a little bit of glory, and we could think of some good things for our Jia family. , but over the past year, how is it different from the past? It’s not even as good as it used to be.”

"Father, you didn't say that." Jia Rong said hesitantly.

"Didn't you say that? Hmph, look at how Mr. She flatters the eldest son of the Sun family. He wished he could just sell the second girl to the Sun family. Isn't it the 1 taels of silver from the Tusun family?" Jia Zhen disdained it. Authentic: "Master Zheng is a good old man. It is useless to still hang on to this Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Industry. When can Yuanwailang of others earn 8000 taels of silver in the work of building bridges, roads, mausoleums and temples outside? What about him? He has a clean sleeve, and thinks he has a good reputation, but in fact, people say he is useless behind his back,..."

Jia Zhen's words made Jia Rong speechless. The whole family knew about Mr. Zheng, so it was impossible to expect him to do something.

The two complained for a while, but the topic returned to their father (grandfather).

"Father, my son always feels a little strange about grandfather's secretive preparations. Could it be that something is going to happen?" The more Jia Rong thought about it, the more uncertain she became, "Why don't you ask where?"

"No." Jia Zhen resolutely refused, "Xibian'er is not the same now, Mr. She and Mr. Zheng can't make up their minds. It's a pity that Jia Lian is gone. If he is here, let him go to Feng Ziying to find out. Enough."

"Then why don't my son go to Yongping Mansion?" Jia Rong hesitated. He actually wanted to visit Feng Ziying a long time ago, but he didn't have the chance.

With the departure of Jia Lian, who was more familiar with him, Jia Yun has now completely become Feng Ziying's representative in the north of Haitong Yinzhuang, and can even talk directly with Prince Zhongshun, Wang, Tian, ​​Liang, and other important figures in the Shanshan Chamber of Commerce. This made Jia Rong extremely jealous.

And Jia Rui also suddenly appeared in Jia's mansion. Jia Qiang, who used to follow behind her buttocks, now seemed to be attached to Jia Yun, which added to Jia Rong's inner panic.

He feels that Ningguo Mansion seems to be gradually being marginalized. Although Rongguo Mansion is also very dim now, after all, there is still a big girl in the palace. Bian seems to be relying purely on the 2 taels of silver dug out from Lai Sheng to earn his living.

Now that such a thing about grandfather suddenly appeared, it really made him and his father feel uneasy. He didn't know whether it was a disaster or a blessing. He even wanted to open the kit in advance to see what happened, but in the end Still dare not.

"What's the reason?" Jia Zhen was also moved.

"We still have a few Zhuangzi in Beitang and Lutai, next to Tianjin Wei, not far from Yongping Mansion. If the Mongols come in, I heard that Yongping Mansion will bear the brunt of it, and they may even go south to Come over from Liangcheng Office, our Zhuangzi will be in trouble if we don’t manage well, just go to ask for information.” Jia Rong thought for a while, “Besides, the two aunts are also in Yongping Mansion. The uncle is also very fond of the two aunts, and it happened that the south sent some pine flower silk and brocade satin, so he used this excuse to send them to the two aunts..."

Jia Zhen stroked her beard and nodded, which is a reason.

There are Zhuangzi in Ningguo Mansion in the north and south. The Zhuangzi in the north are mainly concentrated in Baodi in Shuntian Mansion and Tianjin Wei. There are three or four. There are also a few in Baoan Prefecture. Mainly in Nanzhi, there are also some shops, which are managed by Yu Lu's brother Yu Fu.

Generally speaking, when the Mongols come in, they can't beat Tianjin Weibian, but since the Mongols are said to be powerful this year, it's unclear whether there will be any changes.

A few days ago, Yu Fu asked someone to send back some pine flowers and silk brocades. The quantity was not much. Originally, he said to send a few horses to the Rongguo Mansion, but now it seems that he might as well send them to the Feng family to ask for favors.

"Well, I'm just afraid that some brocade horses won't look up to them." Jia Zhen still hesitated: "I heard that Mr. Feng's family is now making a fortune in Yongping Mansion, and even ordinary gentry are afraid of it." It's like a tiger, I have an acquaintance in the Tongzhou yamen, and I once came to Beijing to inquire about whether there is a relationship with Feng's Dalang, and I am willing to pay 1000 taels of silver just to make a connection. After thinking about it, I still didn't dare to accept this Something,..."

The Feng family is different now, and Feng Ziying's status is certainly extraordinary, but it's rare to find products.

"Father, it's just some kindness. The son is going to give some gifts to the two aunts. By the way, he asked to see Uncle Feng. It can be regarded as a kind of filial piety from the younger generation. Well, last year, Nanbian also sent one or two finely edited pieces. Is it the golden rattan hat and the jade needle coir? Although these two things are just hand-woven things, they also have a special flavor. My son heard that the second aunt is used to please Mr. Feng. You like such different things. These two items can still please her, maybe she can ask her to whisper a few words in Uncle Feng's ear..."

Jia Zhen didn't expect her son to be so thoughtful, so she thought for a while and said, "Well, you can go for a walk, but don't reveal anything about your grandfather, if you have a chance to meet, just ask about it." Ask about the situation in Beijing, by the way, talk about the current situation of Jia Shi Wang Xue and his family, and ask him for help."

"Okay, father, in fact, my son wants to go to Yongping Mansion for a while, and he also wants to avoid the side of Mr. She. He and the grandson of the Sun family have become more and more heated in Datong, and they have helped connect many merchants from Beijing and China. The grandson of the Sun family, although he doesn't know what the joints are, but his son always feels that he is not safe. The first two times his son was unwilling to go, but he couldn't help it. I think it’s good to avoid it,…”

When Jia Rong revealed her true intentions, Jia Zhen was taken aback, "What exactly did you go to Ping'an Prefecture to talk about the last two times?"

"Where does my son know? It's just that I took these merchants to the Ping'an Prefecture to meet the grandson of the Sun family, and then left me aside. My son was so secretive that my son didn't bother to ask. After they finished talking, my son came back. But the grandson of the Sun family is also generous, he never treated me badly, and sealed 300 taels of Cheng Yi when he left." Jia Rong laughed.

Jia Zhen shook her head, "Brother Rong, I'm afraid you should be more careful. If you encounter such things again in the future, hide if you can. Mr. Xi is careless, and something may happen."

"Baoqin wants to see me?" Qingwen was taken aback, and almost knocked out the teacup in her hand that was brought to Yuanyang.

Seeing Yuanyang coming to the mansion in a hurry, he wanted to joke about whether Yuanyang was going to enter Feng's mansion, but he was stunned by Yuanyang's first words.

"Well, when Baoqin came back from the palace, he said he was bringing a message from the empress, asking you to go over and ask about the situation."

Yuanyang's expression was a bit complicated, but her heart was full of fear and uneasiness. Even a servant like her had already felt the turmoil in the Rongning Second Mansion in the past few months.

In fact, this kind of situation can be vaguely felt from the time when the empress visited the relatives. The mood was not very good when the empress visited the relatives, and she met Uncle Feng alone. This kind of situation is rare, even very abnormal.

In theory, it is inappropriate for the empress to meet outsiders, especially men. At most, seeing Baoyu is the limit. It is definitely out of line to meet Uncle Feng, but the empress avoids the servants to meet alone, and on the second day I met Uncle Feng again in Tubi Mountain Villa.

The ancestors, wives and even the gentlemen were all vaguely aware of this, but they all kept silent strangely, as if they had completely forgotten about it.

Now that Baoqin came out of the palace specifically, he had to call Qingwen over to understand and explain the matter, which was also unprecedented.

"Yuanyang, why did Baoqin want to find me?" Qingwen was puzzled, "How could your empress still miss me?"

"It's not something I can know. I don't drink tea anymore. Hurry up and go with me. The carriage is still waiting outside." Yuanyang shook her head, "When you see Baoqin, ask her if you have any doubts." That's right."

"It's not appropriate." Qingwen shook her head.

"Huh?" Yuanyang instantly understood, "Are you going to sue your grandma?"

"Then I must go. If grandma disagrees, I can't go to Jia's house, and I can't listen to it, and I can't say anything." Qingwen carefully said: "I'm from Feng's house now, not Jia's house. people."

Yuanyang nodded, which is also reasonable. She looked Qingwen's body up and down, but there was no change, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Feng still wants your body? Why are you still being hypocritical?"

Qingwen blushed, "Die, Yuanyang, why did you become like those shameless little hooves..."

Yuanyang ignored Qingwen's embarrassment. She and Qingwen had an unusual relationship and shrugged her nose, "Don't pretend in front of me. It's no secret that Uncle Feng has a crush on you. Who in the whole family doesn't know? I saw Yunshang earlier. You just broke your body, but you never thought you could still be perfect, didn't Uncle Feng come back a few days ago? Can you bear it?"

Qingwen couldn't help tearing Yuanyang's mouth open, "Little Hoof, can you still escape? Even my grandma knows that there is Hehui Yuanyang in Rongguo Mansion, and the uncle thinks highly of it,..."

Yuanyang's face was also burning hot, but she was a little surprised, "Don't call me out there, how can your grandma know me,..."

"Hmph, don't be overjoyed in your heart but have to be stubborn." Qingwen curled her lips, the two grew up together, and neither of them knows the other's heart, "I never hide things from grandma, and grandma never cares I have to take care of this matter of the master, and that is to help the master to deal with it. Do you think my grandma can be jealous?"
