Number of People

  Chapter 1754 The scumbag man with the character Ren also has affection

   "Second Grandma, those soldiers are here again. Last time they were quite polite, but this time they are much more arrogant. They demand that we hand over three thousand taels of silver within three days, otherwise they will break in."

   Uncle Fu glanced at Wang Xifeng who was sitting on the kang, hesitantly said: "The young one is just guarding the house for Feng's family, how can they afford so much money, but if they break in, they are afraid of disturbing grandma..."

I really don't know how Feng You sent this group of people to live here. Uncle Fu has been working in Feng's family for so many years, and he has experienced a lot, but he has never encountered such a situation. Didn't say much, just said that it was the young master's order to take good care of her and make sure she settles down.

Uncle Fu murmured in his heart, this woman who was called Second Mistress didn't know the origin, she looked like a woman of rich and noble background, but this group of people were all women, um, although there were men in it, but At a glance, he knew that the servant was not the master, but he had never seen any man in the past half a year, or it should be the father in the woman's belly.

This woman's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and her anger is getting bigger and bigger. She often swears and swears at people. Uncle Uncle didn't hear anything before, but after his wife reminded him, he discovered that this woman actually cursed the young master. Let Fu Bo slowly come to his senses.

   Could it be that this is the outer room raised by the young master?

   It can be seen that although this woman looks alluring, she is really not young, at least five or six years older than the young master. Which man can raise a woman who is a long way older than himself in a foreign room?

   What's more, what kind of person is the young master now? The Hanlin Academy, who was born as a second-class scholar, is now a Shuntian Fucheng. What kind of woman can't be picked, but you have to raise such an unclear woman?

  However, Uncle Fu also knew that what he thought might not be what the young master thought, but after feeling that this woman might have a seed from the Feng family in her stomach, Uncle Fu's attitude changed a lot.

He is very clear that the Feng family does not have a single heir up to now, and the master and wife must be very anxious. The young master has two wives and several concubines, but up to now there is only one daughter. The Feng family is worried?

  Although this wild woman is an outsider, if she can give birth to a male heir, at least it can make the Feng family feel at ease. If the women in the main house of the Feng family can't give birth to a son, then the male heir will be very precious.

  Under this situation, Uncle Fu could only follow what Feng You said, and he had to hold this woman well.

   "Three thousand taels of silver? What's the reason?" Wang Xifeng's face remained unchanged, "I gave three thousand taels, maybe they will ask for five thousand taels, and next time they may ask for 10,000 taels. This may be a bottomless pit."

   Uncle Fu also admitted that what Wang Xifeng said was true, the soldiers and bandits, these troops from other places, didn't care about other things at all, they only cared about achieving their goals, and if they failed to achieve their goals, they might mess up.

Now I just want three thousand taels of silver. This is not three thousand taels of silver, but three thousand taels of silver. Even if the Feng family can afford it, it is impossible to give it here. He is a servant of the house. I have never seen three thousand taels of silver, how could I get it out?

Normally, if these soldiers want to come in, they are allowed to come in. Anyway, there are only these belongings in the mansion, but the situation is different now. Except for this pregnant woman, there are also a group of maids, all of whom are beautiful. When soldiers come in, who knows what will happen? If it doesn't work out, it will become a murderous attempt to silence the public, and that's just calling for trouble.

   "Grandma said yes, but if they don't agree, then they rushed in, bumped into grandma, and got pregnant, wouldn't it be a crime?" Uncle Fu hesitated.

  Wang Xifeng is also gritted his teeth. When you encounter this kind of thing, you really can't reason with these soldiers. If you don't give it, these people will break in. God knows what they will do?

  If you give it, these people will push forward and will definitely continue to extort and extort, and it may also evolve to the point where it cannot be controlled.

   "Uncle Fu, how is the situation in our other family?" Wang Xifeng asked as if remembering something.

"The Zou family next door is similar, but the Zou family had boarded a boat and fled to the capital city when the Southern Army came, and there were only a few guards left." Uncle Fu replied: "Those sergeants see that there is indeed no owner in the house. , so I had no choice but to give up and leave after collecting some money. The other families, the younger ones, also inquired, either they followed the example of the Zou family and avoided it, or they went to the countryside to hide, but there were also some with Nan The military cooperates, but someone has to come forward.”

  Wang Xifeng understands Uncle Fu's meaning, even if he wants to negotiate, he must have a decent master to come forward, but this is exactly the problem of Feng's house now.

The people in charge of the Feng family are all in the capital city and the northwest, or the side branches in the distant house can't take care of things at all. Now that I can't avoid this situation, some members of the Feng family are a bit suspicious of my group living in the Feng family. Fu Bo Du used the young master's friends and family members as an excuse to cover it up. If he still invites them to negotiate at this time, it will really reveal his true colors.

  Wang Xifeng's face was cloudy and uncertain, but in the end he waved his hand to signal Uncle Fu to go down first.

  Only Pinger, Xiaohong, Wang Xin, and Laiwang were left in the room.

   Except for Lin Hongyu, they are all old people who followed from the Wang family, and they are all loyal.

   "What should I do now, tell me." Wang Xifeng touched her stomach, panted, and asked.

  Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although Ping'er was closest to Wang Xifeng, she knew that such important matters could not be decided casually.

  Wang Xifeng's eyes fell on Wang Xin: "Wang Xin, what do you think we should do now?"

"It's better to go back to the capital city." Wang Xin gritted his teeth, "The harassment from the Southern Army will never stop. Sooner or later, something will happen, and I'm afraid there will be a war here. It's too dangerous."

  Wang Xin was originally unwilling to come to Qing Dynasty, but as a male servant who followed Wang Xifeng from the Wang family, he also knew that his fate could only follow Wang Xifeng's ups and downs. Without Wang Xifeng, he and his wife were nothing.

Wang Xifeng has a big belly, and she is a woman who has divorced a long time ago. Whether it is known by the Jia family or the Wang family, it is a big deal. Not only will her reputation be ruined, but it will definitely cause an uproar, so Feng Ziying let It was a forced choice for them to come to Qing Dynasty.

   "Back to the capital?" Ping'er couldn't help retorting: "Second Mistress is also a person of dignity, if someone recognizes her, what should she do?"

This is also a big problem, Wang Xifeng is also a person with some dignity in the capital city, Wu Xun's family knows a lot of people, and has visited many people's mansions. Pay attention to being peeped and recognized, it will be difficult to make up for it.

   "Do you want to go to Jinling or Yangzhou?" Laiwang scratched his head and asked.

   "Can't go to Yangzhou, Lian Erye is still there." Lin Hongyu also braved up to speak, "Over there in Jinling..."

  Wang Xifeng already shook her head: "I can't go to the south."

  Actually, when the Xuanfu army entered Linqing, Wang Xifeng began to investigate the situation.

Of course, she has no way of knowing the situation of the iron net mountain change, but the Xuanfu army and the Datong army suddenly went south, and then fought with the Jizhen army near the capital city, but they couldn't hide it from anyone. There were also discussions in the local area, and then there was Nanjing. Prince Yizhong proclaimed himself the supervisor of the country and set up a separate court, and the two sides' postures were pulled together.

Wang Xifeng knew somewhat about the relationship between his second uncle, Prince Teng, Niu Jizong and Prince Yizhong. The second uncle was stuck in Huguang, but Niu Jizong's Xuanfu army moved eastward to Shandong, and Prince Yizhong set up a separate army in Jinling. For the Nanjing court, Wang Xifeng knew what this meant.

  But can I go to Jinling?

  Obviously not, now that I have a big belly all the way south, leaving aside my safety, how would I explain it when I was seen by people from Jinling Jiashi Wang Xue's family?

   It’s too late to avoid these families, how could it be possible to go to Jinling? After all, it was still the hometown of the Four Great Families, and there were quite a few clansmen staying there.

   "Then what should we do?" Ping'er said: "Why don't I go back to the capital..."

  Lin Hongyu responded immediately: "I'd better run this as a servant, grandma can't live without her sister for a moment."

  While speaking, Uncle Fu had already shouted from the outside, "Second Mistress, Second Mistress, someone from the capital is here."

  Wang Xifeng's body softened, but his nasal cavity was sore, and tears couldn't help but flow down. This murderer finally remembered himself.

   Those who came were Fu Bo's acquaintances, but they also knew Wang Xifeng and Feng You.

  As soon as Feng You came in, he took a look at Wang Xifeng's disproportionately large belly, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, no wonder the young master is so caring, are these twins?

  If she can really give birth to two sons for the Feng family, I'm afraid that her embarrassing concubine will make the wives in the house think highly of her.

   "Feng You has met the second grandma, and the younger one came to Qingqing to meet the second grandma at the order of the young master."

   It's still the same as neither humble nor overbearing, but Feng You will not offend Wang Xifeng, he is not Feng Ziying, but Feng Tang's, but after all, the Feng family only has this one root, so the relationship is different.

   "Hmph, he still knows that there is such a person as Qie Shen?" Wang Xifeng has also returned to normal, and said with a sneer: "Qi Shen thought he had long since forgotten."

Naturally, Feng You would not answer such sour words. Before he came, Feng Ziying had already ordered that if Wang Xifeng was about to give birth, he could only find stability in Linqing, but if there was still a period of time, or Linqing If it's not safe, then Wang Xifeng can only take the risk of returning north.

   Of course, returning to the north is not going back to the capital city, and the risk is too great. It is best to live in Tianjinwei or Tongzhou.

  These two places are traffic gateways, convenient and safe, and it is also convenient for Feng Ziying to take time to visit.
