The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

In the bitter north wind, Feng Ziying listened to Jia Lian's words and it made sense.

After saying goodbye to Jia Lian on the way, he escorted his father home.

The Feng family has seen a lot of Feng Tang venting his depression and frustration after drinking with the strength of alcohol, so they don't take his drunken nonsense this time to heart.Only Feng Ziying thought that after Feng Tang woke up, he might forget what he had said to Jia Lian on the road, and sat on a low stool by Feng Tang's bed with filial piety.

When Feng Tang woke up in a daze, he raised the tent with his hands clumsily, and saw Feng Ziying outside the tent wiping a sword that was shining with cold light, and couldn't help cursing: "You bastard, wait by your father's bedside to wipe the sword." Father killing!"

Feng Ziying hurriedly put the sword on the small table beside the bed, brought a bowl of strong tea to Feng Tang to sober up.

After Feng Tang had tea, he heard the sound of a stick at the third watch outside. He asked Feng Ziying suspiciously, "Why do you stay by my side when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

"You don't need to guess to know that my father forgot to say something to Lian's second brother. Father, you forgot that Lian's second brother said that he was going to be a soldier, so you said you were going to greet the Supreme Emperor and Prince Zhongshun. Is something wrong?" Feng Ziying sat beside the bed with a smile, took the tea bowl from Feng Tang's hand, and waited to see what he would do.

Sure enough, Feng Tang's words were just drunken gibberish. Now that he was awake, he immediately felt that he was a majestic and mighty general. Do you think this method is appropriate?"

"Father has been depressed for many years about not being able to be a marquis. According to my son, since he can't further be a marquis, it is better to take a step back and use the army. This is in line with the way of the military." Feng Ziying persuasively persuaded.

"...As expected of my son, he can bend and stretch." Feng Tang threw his head back on the pillow, "Get lost, I'll get back to business tomorrow."

"Yes." Feng Ziying agreed and withdrew.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Feng Tang, who has always been proud and unyielding, sent a message to order Mrs. Feng to send a big gift to Zhongshun Wangfu and Wang Ziteng's family, and spent a lot of money to buy a rare shark silk tent from an imperial merchant. , ivory mat, etc., first handed the post to the palace, and the next day, he brought a generous gift to greet the Supreme Emperor, and after he came out of the palace, he spent thousands of taels to invite Prince Zhongshun, Wang Ziteng and others to have a drink and a theater.

After this campaign, sure enough, in the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court issued a decree to confer the title of Prince Yizhong, and then Wang Ziteng was promoted to the commander of the Guangxi capital.

Although it was an overkill, Feng Tang was very excited. He went to the Beijing Camp for a visit a few years ago. After returning home, he called Feng Ziying and said to him: "That day I vaguely remembered Brother Lian's fight with muskets. , Huozhu is very curious, you clean up our warehouse, find out a box and send it to him to play with."

Feng Ziying saw that Feng Tang really realized the benefits of "being able to bend and stretch", so she followed his words and asked someone to search in the warehouse in the front yard. Sure enough, she found two boxes of rusty guns in the corner, and asked the servants to wipe them clean. After picking out most of the boxes that were barely usable, they rode a horse and led a carriage to Rongguo Mansion.

Arriving in front of the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, Feng Ziying saw that the young servant in front of the gate of Rongguo Mansion was holding a long musket in his hand, and the totem on the wooden handle of the long musket was obviously following the emperor Taizu. The old man who fought in the country stayed behind.

"You haven't loaded your gun, are you?" Feng Ziying walked up to a young man in front of the door.

"It's loaded, the second master said, whoever rolls his eyes in front of our house will be hit. He has consulted the law and the masters of the punishment department. As long as he doesn't hurt anyone, it is not considered a violation of the law." The boy was triumphant. He said that when he saw the people from Dongfu passing by the door, he raised his musket brazenly to scare the servants from Dongfu.

Feng Ziying was quite ashamed, and led a box of muskets into the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and saw the servants of Bailai standing neatly in the spacious front yard of Rongguo Mansion. The old man was very impassioned and spitting and said: "I think back then, when Mr. Jiao and I fought with the old Duke, even if we were facing their swords and guns, we would rush forward! If you dare to retreat, you will be a coward!"

"What is this for?" Feng Ziying looked at the pile of long muskets beside the old man, thinking that Jia Lian really did what he said and did what he said. From a distance, he saw Jia Lian wearing an ai, green, three-color and gold shorts and stepping on the ground. A pair of powder-soled soap boots came over, and this attire further made him tall and tall.

Feng Ziying laughed and said, "You have an exam next fall, do you still have the time to do this?"

"Why don't you do it? Anyway, I have it at home, and throwing rust away for nothing is a waste of money." Jia Lian approached Feng Ziying, and whispered: "The Supreme Emperor pressured Wang Ziteng to go to Guangxi to control the governor of Guangxi. Next year Pan'er will be here." Married to Miss Wang, when Wang Ziteng is not around, I discuss with Pan'er about sending someone to go overseas to do business. One is to make a fortune, and the other is to know what is going on overseas. In this way, the Xue family can also take the opportunity to let the wind say If you lose money, transfer the family wealth." The merchant Xue's family, Jiangmen Feng's family, none of the Jia's family can be lost.

Feng Ziying knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and said with a smile: "The Wang family has picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon." Seeing that the old man who was admonishing the servants was full of anger and brought up the flames of war as if he was in person, he wondered: " Where did you get such an old man? What's the use of asking him to lecture the servants like this?"

Jia Lian laughed and said: "You don't know, this Mr. Jiao is an old man from the East Mansion. When he fought with the old Duke of the East Mansion in the past, he devoted himself to protecting the Lord. It is said that he was willing to cut his own flesh and feed it to the Master. Loyal servant. I begged him from the East Mansion and asked him to give lectures to the servants every day.” Folding his arms, he watched with satisfaction as the servants listened attentively to Jiao Da’s story. It is also of great benefit to educate the servants of loyal servants and righteous slaves.

"Your family is on good terms with Dongfu? Why is Dongfu willing to give you someone?" Feng Ziying asked in surprise.

"I blackmailed him. Not only did I ask for Jiao Da, but I also asked for the rusty firearms piled up in the warehouse in Dongfu." Jia Lian laughed lightly. He did what he said.

Jia Lian was so calm, but even Feng Ziying didn't think what Jia Lian did was unkind.

At this time, seeing a box from the Feng family, Jia Lian and Feng Ziying opened the box to have a look. They saw a box of half-rusted firearms. Go to the townhouse next to the stables to the east and scrub.

"Behind that room is your second uncle's study, right? If the gunpowder explodes, what will your second uncle do?" Feng Ziying blushed again.

"Don't worry, he will never be hurt. In late November, my second uncle said that he would not go out to study again."

"What your second uncle said is irony, right?" Ordinary people hearing this irony, should they store the gunpowder somewhere else?Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian smiled nonchalantly, he just wanted to force Jia Zheng to stay in Aunt Zhao's room in the backyard for many years, otherwise Jia Zheng would stay in the study outside without knowing who he was going to see and what kind of ideas.After laughing, he simply set up the target and asked Feng Ziying's housekeepers to shoot.

I saw a row of targets erected, and the servants set up their muskets in a dignified manner, loaded them first, and then shot at the targets.

Because it has only been a few days since I got started, only a dozen or so spiritual people out of hundreds of people can hit the bull's-eye.

The crackling sound was mixed with the sound of firecrackers from the surrounding people, but it didn't seem abrupt.

"Okay, whoever hits the target will be rewarded with a top-quality ruler." Jia Lian applauded repeatedly.

Feng Ziying saw that he was dressed so lightly but didn't think it was cold, guessed that he probably put aside his studies and concentrated on practicing martial arts, after exchanging greetings with him, he left and went home.

Jia Lian waited for Feng Ziying to leave, and asked the servants to practice shooting again, thinking that when these guys would be useful, when the north wind blew, he felt a little cold, so he put on the cloak sent by Quanfu and went back to the Jinghuanzhai .

The servants didn't stop practicing until the 29th of the new year. On the [-]th day, Jia Lian personally invited Lin Ruhai to come to Rongguo Mansion to celebrate the new year.

After Lin Ruhai entered the door, he saw the servants of the Rongguo Mansion armed with muskets. He was very surprised and wondered who would sneak attack the Rongguo Mansion?What are you doing with such flamboyant things for no reason?Although he was puzzled, he didn't bother to ask.

However, on the auspicious day of the zodiac on the 27th of the first lunar month, the descendants of the princes and princes of the county under the command of the Du Taiwei, the current Guangxi Du Commander Wang Ziteng sent his niece Wang Xifeng to marry into the royal merchant Xue's family after Ziwei Sheren.

On that day, Xue Wang and his family were full of distinguished guests and distinguished friends. After returning from the three dynasties of his bride Wang Xifeng, Wang Ziteng took his family, his brother Wang Zisheng, and Fang to take office in Guangxi.

Prince Tengfang left, and in the new house where the Xue family went up to the house where there were still big red happy characters hanging. You need to do two business transactions, and then change a few important shops in Jinling to sign shopkeepers, and report back to your mother and Baochai that you have lost money, and then you can hide from the world." After counting, I stayed in Beijing this year, only It took a lot to arrange people for Xue Baochai in advance, which shows that what Jia Lian said earlier is true.

Wang Xifeng's black hair was piled behind her head, and she didn't wear a hairpin. She only wore a garnet leash around her forehead. She was wearing a peach red jacket with a corner of her red embroidered golden plum tube top exposed. Even washed off the powder, but Gu Pan still reminded people of the words pink, glossy and fat.

The red candles on the Plum Blossom High Table crackled, and Wang Xifeng lay lazily on the bed and yawned, squinting her eyes slightly. She was not in a hurry to talk to Xue Pan, but thought carefully about how the Xue family would send her off. Aunt Xue politely showed all the presents that came to her. Although Jia Lian didn't give any presents, the gift from Mother Jia was extra heavy. Obviously, Jia Lian included the gifts in the gift from Mother Jia; Moreover, the Xu family and Li family that the Wang family offended before also politely gave gifts, which shows that the personal relationship between the Xue family and those families is good.

Now that Wang Ziteng is not at home, why doesn't she put aside the relationship with the Wang family and concentrate on managing the relationship between the Xue family and the Jia family, Xu family, and Li family?Although she couldn't come forward because of her previous actions, she still had to ask Xue Pan to keep in touch with those families.When Wang Ziteng returns home in the future, Xue Pan will be restrained to alienate those few families in a face, so that Wang Ziteng can't pick any thorns.

Thinking about it, Wang Xifeng asked: "When is the good day for the Li family and the Xu family?"

"It is said that it will be set in April. In this way, before the second brother Lian's exam in August, the matter between the second brother Lian and the younger sister Xu Jiaqing can be settled." After Xue Pan finished speaking, he remembered the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian. Embarrassed; but seeing Wang Xifeng's calm demeanor, I immediately thought I was confused, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, what relationship does Wang Xifeng have with Jia Lian now?

"Tomorrow, I'll go back to my mother, and later, let's go and see the old lady of the Jia family." Wang Xifeng said decisively, fearing that Xue Pan would be suspicious, she added: "The old ancestor loved me, and now I'm out of the house. You can't help but see her."

Xue Pan repeatedly said yes, and after sitting down by the bed, he only felt that Wang Xifeng was charming and charming, but he didn't feel itchy.

Wang Xifeng lay still, only her pair of red-phoenix triangular eyes moved slightly, and when she thought of something, she took Xue Pan's hand and said: "In the past, our gifts were sent to uncles and aunts, and asked them to send others to dredge for us. Even though Baochai is not willing to enter the palace now, this ritual must not stop."

"Why is this? You have lost so much money for nothing, and you still want to throw it in?" Xue Pan was dumbfounded.

"Stupid!" Wang Xifeng poked Xue Pan's eyebrows with her finger, "In the past, our money was handed over to my uncle and aunt to deliver, but this kind of friendship is regarded as my uncle's and aunt's, and our family is considered to be held by my uncle and aunt." ;Now we are going to send it by ourselves, and this friendship is ours. If there is anything, we can just ask others, and we don't have to ask uncles and aunts; complexion."

Seeing that Wang Xifeng regarded herself as Xue's family member, Xue Pan was overjoyed in his heart, and after listening to her words, there was no reason for him to refute them, so he naturally agreed very much in his heart. Angrily said: "I don't want to look at Uncle's face anymore! The money in the name of clearing the account is from our family, so why should we make our family look like we have been greatly favored by Uncle?" The person is too much, seeing Wang Xifeng being lazy and tired for the bride at the beginning is very endearing, she hurriedly took off her clothes, washed and fell asleep.

The big red gauze curtain was put down, and under the big red quilt smoked with sweet-scented osmanthus, Wang Xifeng leaned on her arm, squinted at Xue Pan who was sleeping soundly next to her, remembering that now Aunt Xue dared not ask her to set the rules and Xue Pan was against her. She was obedient, and smiled disapprovingly, she must hold the entire Xue family in her hands!
