This meal was quite enjoyable.
Pipa duck tongue, braised quail, rouge goose breast, pickled civet, eggplant, braised deer shank, steamed sturgeon, ham and winter bamboo shoots stewed with deer tendon..., the chef of Rongguo Mansion also worked very hard and came up with his own special dishes.
All kinds of snacks are served in an endless stream,...
Perhaps he felt that the children of the Jia family were teachable, or he was finally able to reveal everything he had done in Qian'an City, or he could talk freely with Daiyu, Baochai, Baoqin, and Xing Xiuyan all in one day.
Feng Ziying was also very happy in her heart, and she toasted Baoyu, Jia Huan and the others with a certain attitude of welcoming everyone who came. After two jars of Shaoxing rice wine, she felt a little dizzy.
When I woke up, I was already in the guest room.
“What time is it?” He took the sour plum soup from Baoxiang and drank it in one breath. He had woken up from peeing, and his head was still a little dizzy.
"It's almost the beginning of the new year." Baoxiang took the bowl back and handed over the towel, "The third girl sent me the hangover soup. I sat next to me for a while before leaving."
Feng Ziying glanced at Baoxiang and saw that this guy was hesitant to speak. She knew that this guy might have something to say.
If there is nothing to avoid in Feng Mansion, there are only two people, Ruixiang and Baoxiang. To put it bluntly, even if you want to steal food outside, you can't avoid these two people.
It takes these two people to work together to cover up many things.
“Just say what you want to say.” Feng Ziying said angrily.
“Sir, the third girl is very fond of me. I learned from Mr. Huan that I drank too much, so I immediately asked someone to go to the kitchen to make sobering soup and bring it to me, without avoiding suspicion...”
Feng Ziying leaned her body against the bed, and her body was still a little soft. The Shaoxing rice wine had a strong stamina. She had traveled through time and was in Feng Keng's body, but her drinking capacity was very light. A few more drinks would have been a bit excessive. Fortunately,
It's the rice wine of this era. If it had been replaced by that high-quality liquor, I'm afraid it would be even worse.
“So what?” Feng Ziying was a little curious. Baoxiang was always honest and more of a dull gourd than Ruixiang. Why did he take the initiative to speak for Tan Yatou today?
“I just think that the third girl is very generous. If so, if so,...”
“What if it is?” Seeing Baoxiang’s face flushed, Feng Ziying was really surprised. Tan Yatou could actually bribe Baoxiang and let him speak? It’s not like that, Tanchun is not like this.
"It would be great if the third girl could marry into the Feng family." Baoxiang knelt on the ground with a bang, which startled Feng Ziying, and then sneered, "Are you aware of your guilt?"
"Master, this is what I said from the bottom of my heart. Well, Sister Chan also told me that the third girl is cheerful and generous on the surface and is well respected in the house, but the master and his wife did not do anything for her.
I have considered finding a good marriage..."
Baoxiang was finally exposed.
"Sister Chan?" Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment. Tan Chun's personal maid was a servant, and there was also a maid named Cuimo. There was no such thing as Sister Chan.
"Sister Chan is the maid in the third girl's house, and her grandmother is Mrs. Xia at the gate of Grand View Garden..." Seeing Feng Ziying's confusion, Baoxiang knew that this man must have no impression of Sister Chan.
"Oh,..." Feng Ziying said in a long tone and took a closer look at Baoxiang. After following her for several years, Feng Ziying realized that this boy who was less than ten years old when he came to his room was now fourteen years old.
In an ordinary family, it would be time to talk about marriage.
Baoxiang was so moved by Feng Ziying's teasing voice that he only dared to lower his head and knelt on the ground without making a sound.
“It seems that you have fallen in love with Sister Chan?” Feng Ziying didn’t have any taboos about this.
There are only three ways for the maids of this wealthy family to go. One is to work as the master's maid, but this is usually only qualified for the close maid, not just any girl. The other is to let them go and find their own way out.
, this usually means that there are more maids bought in; the third is the boys in the mate's house, this situation means that there are more children in the family.
Baoxiang took the initiative to make it clear, which is also an attitude. He did not hide it from himself. As for saying a few words for Tan Yatou, it is also a reasonable thing. That girl would not say a few words for her master when she had the opportunity?
"I don't dare." Seeing that Feng Ziying's tone was not too harsh, Baoxiang felt a little more relaxed, "I just followed you to Rongguo Mansion. I met Sister Chan twice, and once I was so thirsty.
No, Sister Chan brought me a cup of water for the little one, and it will be cooked after a while."
“Ready? Is it that easy?” Feng Ziying glanced at Baoxiang with a half-smile, “Since it doesn’t matter, I’ll talk to Third Sister and send Sister Chan out to find a boy at will…”
Hunted by Feng Ziying's words, Baoxiang could only kowtow repeatedly and did not dare to say more. Baoxiang's head was covered with sweat.
"Okay, don't pretend to be in front of me. If you like me, you'll like me. But you also know that if someone doesn't want to, then I will never allow someone to marry someone by force..."
Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, Baoxiang quickly raised his head and said: "Sir, how dare you violate the rules of heaven? Besides, I'm really only acquainted with Sister Chan. I like Sister Chan a little bit.
But Sister Chan is still from the Jia family, so she doesn’t dare to..."
If you are caught having an affair, you will be beaten to death. However, everyone has emotions and desires. There are often hundreds of servants in this big family, most of them are servants and maids, and they are of the same age. What do you want to say?
It is impossible to prevent this in itself, so many people just flirt with each other but dare not admit it to the outside world.
"Okay, I understand." Feng Ziying understood. It was probably just a hint of that, a flirtation, and it was far from a private life-long commitment.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in every household. It just depends on luck. If you meet an enlightened master, or you are favored by yourself, or there are some followers in the house, you can ask someone to make peace with you until you are of the right age.
They will be matched when the time comes, and then the family will become a family with children. If you are unlucky and the girl is sold out or given to someone else, then you can only lament that they are destined to have no destiny.
Of course Feng Ziying would not do that kind of thing of beating mandarin ducks, but it is definitely not possible at Baoxiang's age, and it will be at least two or three years later. This guy said it first, and he probably had this intention, so as not to really
The time came but it failed.
“Sir, over there with the third girl...”
"Baoxiang, don't you know more about the affairs of Rongguo Mansion than you?" Feng Ziying glared at the other party, so frightened that Baoxiang, who had originally thought about it, knelt down again, "If it was so easy for a man to marry a woman, I might as well just forget about it.
I can marry all the girls I marry."
Baoxiang didn’t dare to say anything anymore, but he was muttering in his heart, with his status as a master, which girl can’t he marry? Which girl can refuse?
Sighed lightly, Tanchun came to deliver sobering soup like this, I am afraid that he is not afraid of rumors from outsiders. Is the Jia family really willing to let Tanchun be their concubine?
No matter how presumptuous Feng Ziying is, she doesn't dare to think about it. Jia Zheng is a man of great dignity. You can just say Yingchun. Jia She can still use money and power to settle matters. On Tanchun's side, Jia Zheng
Can Jia Zheng tolerate his daughter being his concubine? Especially when his sister's daughter and his sister-in-law's daughter are both eldest wives in the family, can Jia Zheng agree?
Not to mention Jia Zheng, even Tanchun might not be able to show off his face like this. How can we accept the good sisters of the past, who is his wife and himself his concubine?
Perhaps this is just Tanchun's concern for herself and she can't help it. It's not as much as she thought. Feng Ziying can only comfort herself.
Just then I remembered that I seemed to have promised Siqi, but it was already the end of the year. If I didn't go through, I'm afraid the Yuanzi Gate would be in trouble.
Even now it is a bit inconvenient to enter the garden gate. The Grand View Garden seems to have a gate gate at Haishi.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying walked out.
“Sir, where are you going?” Baoxiang quickly got up and followed him out.
"I want to go into the garden, so you stay in the house. If anyone comes to ask, just tell me that I drank wine and fell asleep, and don't want anyone to disturb me." Feng Ziying warned before going out.
As expected, the west corner gate has already been closed, and if you want to enter through the west corner gate, you have to go around the stone cave from Liaoting Huaxin to the Bajiaowu side, and then walk along the Qinjiang from the edge of the Tumi shelf.
Fangxi is a little safer if we take this route. Otherwise, we have to go to Rose Garden, Hongxiang Garden, and Yuyintang, and it would be too easy to meet people.
After thinking about it, Feng Ziying simply walked directly to the gate. At this time, the main gate over there was probably not closed yet.
Sure enough, when Feng Ziying walked to the gate of the Grand View Garden, she saw that there were only two women left and were about to close the door. Seeing Feng Ziying walking quickly, they all lowered the gate and asked with a smile on their faces: "Uncle Feng is awake? But what happened?"
Are the things in Yihongyuan?"
Feng Ziying felt relieved. This was a knowledgeable person. She seemed to be called Mrs. Xia. Isn't she the grandmother of Sister Cicada that Baoxiang mentioned? I guess it was Sister Cicada who came with Tan Yatou to bring sobering soup. No wonder Mrs. Xia was like this.
sensible.
Nodding, Feng Ziying smiled calmly and said: "Well, are you about to leave? I left an important thing with Baoyu at Baoyu's place. Go get it and come out soon. Thank you both for your hard work."
He took out a few golden melon seeds from his sleeve and put them in Mrs. Xia's hand. The golden melon seeds dazzled under the light.
Of course Mrs. Xia got out of the way in a hurry and took the golden melon seeds. She smiled so hard that her eyes almost narrowed, "You can go ahead, Uncle Feng. Our two wives are sleepy and sleep late, so we will wait here for you."
Feng Ziying nodded. This Mrs. Xia is quite virtuous. She wants to wait for her, but also reminds herself that she cannot stay in this courtyard. Well, there is quite a bottom line.
