  Chapter 404 C-word volume discipline

  Looking at the third sister's boudoir leisurely but quite interestingly, Feng Ziying came to Tanchun for the first time.

  Daiyu has only been there once, well, I have been to Baochai's, but it's a small courtyard there, so it doesn't matter.

Of course, he can't go in and out like Jia Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions". It's out of line, but fortunately, the family's kindness and basic knowledge can barely cover it up.

Compared with Lin Daiyu's room with delicate decorations, Tanchun's room looks much more elegant, just a very ordinary round table, a few brocade stools, the flower window is half covered, and an unknown potted plant is placed under the window , but also full of greenery.

   "The secretary is going to call Brother Huan, he will be here soon, Brother Feng, sit down and have a cup of tea." Tanchun sat with Feng Ziying, and Cuimo beside him also poured tea for Feng Ziying.

   "I can still drink the tea of ​​the third sister once, but what is the name?" Feng Ziying took the teacup and said with a smile.

   "What's the name? It's just some ordinary tea bought from the mansion. My younger sister dare not compare with Brother Feng. But although the tea is ordinary, my younger sister's heart for Brother Feng is sincere."

   It seemed that he felt that his words were a little grammatical, so Tanchun tilted his head slightly, so as not to let the other party see the blush on his cheeks.

   It's just that how could this escape Feng Ziying's eyes? This is really going to be a harvester.

  There is still no explanation for the matter of Lin Yatou and Bao Yatou, and Feng Ziying feels a headache when thinking of this.

"What's the matter with my sister, but my sister likes to drink tea. I will send someone to bring some tea to my sister tomorrow. One of my classmates is from She County, Nanzhili. Their Songluo tea is quite famous, and the soup is fresh and moist." , the fragrance is pleasant, and the Shoumei tea sent from Fujian, also known as Laojunmei, can digest food after eating greasy food, and the taste is quite good."

Fang Youdu's father-in-law is a landlord in She County and a well-known tea merchant. It is very likely that Fang Youdu will stay in the capital city to develop, so his father-in-law spent money to replace Fang Youdu in Dashi Yongfang. He bought a house, which is still being renovated, and his wife and concubines are expected to wait until his already-born children are old enough to enter Beijing.

  Now Fang Youdu's father-in-law really feels that he has picked up a treasure. He didn't expect that Fang Youdu not only passed the high school, but also won the Jinshi.

   This is also a rare and special encounter for a Jinshi, so naturally he also increased his "investment efforts" in order to make his daughter's position in the Fang family more stable in the future.

  So some ordinary local products are often sent to Beijing, so that Fang Youdu can take them for entertainment. Now Fang Youdu is really rich, and the pineapple tea in Feng Ziying's home is sent by Fang Youdu.

  As for the Shoumei Tea in Wuyi, it was a gift from the Fujian Guild Hall. Knowing that Feng Ziying likes to taste tea, it became a kind of elegant ceremony.

This kind of Shoumei tea is said to have been made in Fujian not long ago. It is a new product developed. It belongs to the fermented black tea category. It has a mellow and strong taste. The Xiyi people are very popular there.

   "Then my little sister will thank Brother Feng first." Tan Chun blushed slightly, stood up and gave a blessing.

The Jia Mansion buys some tea every year, but the taste of this tea is mainly to cater to the masters and wives of the family, so naturally they don’t think too much about the ladies below. In the house, but if you want to say that you choose, then you have to ask for a monthly subscription to buy it yourself.

Girls like Tanchun don't have many monthly bills, but they spend a lot of money. Tanchun is not the kind of stingy person who can only budget carefully, so it's enough to have enough monthly bills, but if you want to have more money? It's not easy to spend money to buy things you like.

"Hey, when did the third sister become so polite to me?" Feng Ziying also stood up, smiling and waving her hands, "Doesn't this seem strange? It's just a few taels of tea, not worth much money, just a taste of something new,... "

  While the two of them were talking, Jia Huan had already rushed in. When he saw Feng Ziying, he was overjoyed. He stood still and bowed, "Jia Huan has seen Brother Feng."

Feng Ziying also got up to give her a hand, and then she took the other's arm and nodded: "I haven't seen you in half a year, but Brother Huan has grown a lot taller, um, he looks like a handsome young man, um, I haven't seen you yet." Have you passed your third sister?"

  Jia Huan was taken aback for a moment, but seeing Feng Ziying's clear eyes, he had to salute his sister again, "I have seen the third sister."

   But with this appearance, Feng Ziying knew that the relationship between the siblings might still be a bit awkward, and there was nothing wrong with Tanchun, and the problem was estimated to be with the third brother.

  He also heard some information about Jia's mansion from Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er.

Now Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er have basically become his best eyes and ears for inquiring about the news of Jia's mansion. Except for the news of Sister Lin and Miss Bao who naturally come back in detail, he can also take care of these messy things in Jia's mansion. Come and listen for fun.

  Jia Baoyu is now obsessed with listening to and singing operas, getting closer to Jiang Qiguan and Qin Zhong from Mingyue Tower, and also getting along with Liu Xianglian.

   It's just that Liu Xianglian is busy with the livelihood of Daguanlou Opera Garden, so she doesn't spend much time with them.

  For example, Huan Lao San and Caixia next to Mrs. Wang are flirting with each other. Mrs. Wang has been aware of it, and gradually replaced Caixia with Xiuluan and Xiufeng as personal maids, and began to marginalize Caixia.

  For example, Baoyu’s visit to Ms. Lin’s is not as much as before. Although the cousins ​​are still close, it seems to be separated by a layer.…

  Lin Zongzong, it is interesting to let Feng Ziying return home after a busy day, and to entertain from the perspective of a melon-eating crowd.

   Seeing Feng Ziying defending herself like this, Tanchun felt warm in his heart.

  She knows her own brother, who has a violent temper, rebellious and rebellious. Naturally, she admires people who admire her, but it is different for others.

  It is myself who is the elder sister, he is also often ridiculed, and he often disrespects Baoyu, a direct brother. Fortunately, Baoyu is also a romantic person, so he doesn't care about these things.

  But the maids around Baoyu and some other people in the mansion also reminded her, either explicitly or secretly, that she was probably asked to discipline the youngest Huan.

It's just that Tanchun also knows how his elder sister can control the third child Huan. In this house, apart from the uncle and father, I am afraid that only the wife and the second sister-in-law Lian can make Jia Huan a little bit more peaceful, but that is all in the face of obedience. Unconvinced.

  The only one who can really convince Brother Huan is this Brother Feng in front of him.

   "Brother Huan, how was your study in the past six months?"

   "I don't dare to live up to your expectations, Brother Feng. Jia Huan has spent a lot of time studying. Now he is more familiar with "University" and "The Analects of Confucius", and he is gradually familiar with books such as Jizhu..."

Speaking of studying, Jia Huan was in high spirits, and a layer of red light floated on his slightly thin cheeks, "The teacher and professor in ethnology are not bad, but after all, it is ethnology, and the teacher can't ask too much. There are many people with unstable minds hanging out in it, and he can't stop it,..."

  Tanchun frowned secretly, Feng Ziying secretly smiled inwardly, the third child also knew that Jia Baoyu had been given eye drops, but he didn't know that his parents had given up his studies long ago, no one can compare.

"Brother Huan, it has nothing to do with you whether people study or not, whether they succeed in reading or not. Your eyes should not stay in this mere Jia family school. A man should be broad-minded and broad-minded. How can a bird know the greatness of a swan?" Zhi’s words can be applied to you and others,…”

"..., as long as you study well and pass the examination as a scholar in the future, you, brother Feng, still say the same thing, even if you put up with this face, brother Feng can guarantee you and send you to the academy for further studies, and you will be promoted to a scholar in the future if you pass the examination , Guangzong Yaozu, it depends on how hard you work,..."

   This chicken soup only made Jia Huan happy, "Brother Feng, they all said that Qingtan Academy is now a place for Jinshi, and it is the best academy in Dazhou. I want to study in Qingtan Academy in the future!"

"Brother Huan, as you said, Qingtan Academy is now the most famous academy in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I heard that the head of Guanshan and the head of the Zhou Academy said that since last year, the admission standard of the Academy has been higher. Lin Mingru's personal letter recommendation is not acceptable, and there are also requirements for the status of scholarly famous scholars. It is not enough to call yourself a famous scholarly scholar. Every province has a famous scholar who is confirmed to be recognized by Qingtan Academy. You have to be a senior official with a Jinshi background of the third grade or above before you can recommend it,..."

   Hearing such a standard, Jia Huan also took a deep breath, "Brother Feng, I plan to take the examination for talent next year. If I pass the examination, what should I do?"

"If you can pass the exam, you don't need to worry about these things, but you not only need to be well-educated, but also have a good reputation. Don't let people poke your back..." Feng Ziying paused, and then said softly : "A man should have a broad mind, and don't worry about such trivial gossip. As the saying goes, a prime minister can pull a boat in his stomach. If he doesn't have a heart, he will be promoted to a scholar in the exam. How can you go out to be an official? Court?"

  Jia Huan took it very seriously. If someone else said this, he would definitely dismiss it, and even have a rebellious mentality. But in front of Feng Ziying, he felt calm and took it for granted.

  Even Tanchun, who was on the sidelines, was heartbroken, and looked at Feng Ziying with a little more admiration for no reason.
