Geng Scroll Chapter 141: The Attack of Baoqin (Third update, please vote for me!)
Bao Qin's expression did not change. Wang Zisheng was Baochai's uncle, but not her uncle. Moreover, Wang Zisheng was not very close to the Xue family, and was far less familiar with Mrs. Wang. Even Baochai was familiar with it.
Her uncle probably doesn't have much emotion.
"Sister, you have been busy with family affairs during this period, and I'm afraid you haven't paid much attention to outside affairs. The imperial court only agreed to redeem more than 50,000 soldiers, but the Mongolians said that the price for hundreds of military-honored generals was very high, and
The scholars were also very critical, thinking that these military honors were just a bunch of losers who wasted the opportunity to fight, which was an unforgivable crime. Therefore, the court did not agree to the Mongols' conditions. There were even rumors that these people had redeemed themselves, and the court also
We need to hold them accountable.”
A sneer flashed across Bao Qin's cheek.
Although the Xue family also came from a martial arts background, it is not on the same level as the four princes, eight princes, twelve princes and other martial arts. A Ziwei family is really nothing. If the Xue family was not good at doing business, I am afraid that they would have been old for a long time.
The four families were removed.
Even so, the Xue family declined the fastest, and Baoqin's family had never enjoyed many so-called martial arts privileges, so Baoqin had no good impression of these martial arts, let alone any sense of recognition.
It is obvious that the court's attitude towards these martial arts has also changed. When Emperor Yuanxi was there, he was quite graceful, but the current emperor seems to be completely different. This is also the conclusion Baoqin came to after careful observation and understanding, so Jia She
, Wang Xifeng, Wang Zisheng and Jia Rong are the only ones who are willing to work hard to earn a fortune from these Wuxun families.
Bao Qin has followed her father around since she was a child. In terms of business talent and knowledge, she is much better than her elder brother Xue Biao, so she is very sensitive to these aspects. However, such a large business was ignored by the Jia family and the Wang family.
Being given the monopoly made her quite unhappy.
In Bao Qin's view, the Xue family can do what Jia She and Wang Xifeng can do, or the Xue family can find someone to do it. The most critical thing here is Brother Feng. If there is no Brother Feng and the Mongolians,
No matter how capable Jia She and Wang Xifeng are, no matter how well they do, it is meaningless.
In other words, people like the Jia family and the Wang family cling to Brother Feng and rely on Brother Feng to make money, but why?
Brother Feng is very kind to the Jia family. People like Baoyu, Jia Huan and even Jia Lan and Jia Cong have all benefited from this. It is also because of Brother Feng that Jia Lian can go to Yangzhou Mansion to be the big shopkeeper of Haitong Bank Yangzhou. How many years a year
With a bonus of thousands of taels, where can I find such a good job?
Even his own brother did not enjoy such good treatment, and had to go to Denglai to work hard. Moreover, his brother's letter also mentioned that Wang Ziteng did not pay attention to his brother at all, or he did not pay attention to him at all.
He treated his brother as a relative and did not even bother to say hello or give him any preferential treatment. It was all due to Brother Feng's connections there and his own hard work.
Because of this, Baoqin felt very unhappy with the Wang family.
But that's all. Now even people like Jia She, Wang Xifeng and even Jia Rong are taking advantage of the opportunity to make money. This makes people look forward to Shu, and even their desires are hard to satisfy.
But it's hard for outsiders to say anything. My sister and Wang Xifeng are cousins, and Jia She is Lin Daiyu's uncle. Before she married into the Feng family, her identity was not as close as that of Wang Xifeng and Jia She, so she could only maintain her status.
Silent, but Baoqin was already a little dissatisfied in her heart.
Baochai felt some of her cousin's emotions. She still didn't understand what Baoqin was dissatisfied with, but she also knew that this cousin had always been very opinionated and unforgiving, and some
Aspects are somewhat similar to Tan Yatou.
"Baoqin, the imperial court doesn't care, let each family find a way to redeem people by themselves. This involves hundreds of people. I heard that the money is often tens of thousands of taels of silver. How can we talk to the Mongols?" Baochai
He pondered and said: "What do you mean, it's the second sister-in-law and uncle who are helping with the operation?"
"Sister, you still don't understand the secret inside. This is the relationship between the second sister-in-law and uncle and the others through Brother Feng. They want to make money by selling favors here." Xue Baoqin sneered, "How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Son, are the Mongolians so easy to talk to? Isn’t this favor all remembered on Brother Feng? Hundreds of people, Lin Lin, who finally came down, were afraid of asking for millions of silver ransoms, and they could also benefit from it, at least ten
More than ten thousand taels of silver, right?"
Hearing Baoqin's tone, Baochai basically understood that this was because Baoqin was not satisfied with his uncle and second aunt, who were making money through Brother Feng's brand and favors. But how could the two sisters do this kind of thing?
how?
The uncle and the second sister-in-law did not make peace with their sisters, but directly talked to Brother Feng. Brother Feng did not refuse, so who could say anything?
Even though I feel that this seems a bit inappropriate, I can only watch it.
"Baoqin, I know this is not appropriate, but Sister Shen didn't say anything..." Xue Baochai frowned.
"Sister, that's not what you said. Although Sister Shen didn't say anything, I'm afraid she was very unhappy deep down in her heart. My younger sister went to Sister Shen's place. Sister Shen didn't say anything, but she will definitely remember it.
Among us, who makes the second sister-in-law the cousin of the elder sister, and who makes the uncle the uncle of the elder sister? After all, it is the Jia family and the Wang family. It has nothing to do with our Xue family, but the accounts must be recorded.
It’s on both of us sisters.”
Xue Baoqin's words made Xue Baochai change her face slightly, and these words also touched her heart.
Shen Yixiu's father was a Jinshi, the magistrate of Dongchang Prefecture, and a fourth-rank official in the imperial court. It is said that he will be promoted to the third rank next year; Lin Daiyu's father was a Tanhua, a salt-inspecting censor, with a high position. Although he is deceased, he still has some connections.
, only the Xue family is weak in this aspect.
Because of this, Xue Baochai is the most unwilling to teach others in these aspects, so including his brother and Xue Biao, they also strive to be independent and not cling too much to the Feng family, just to avoid marrying into the Feng family in the future.
Later, he was poked in the spine by the chief and third house.
Of course, Jia She and Wang Xifeng are also close relatives of Lin Daiyu, but now it will be a year or two before Lin Daiyu gets married, but his two sisters are about to get married. How will Shen Yixiu view him if he knows this?
The Jia family, the Wang family and even the Xue family are bent on relying on the Feng family to suck blood?
"That's enough, Bao Qin, don't say anything like this again!" Baochai's tone suddenly became cold and stern.
Even though I agree with Bao Qin's point of view, these words must not be heard by outsiders, otherwise there will immediately be a storm.
The Xue family, the Jia family, and the Wang family can all be at odds over this. The Xue family is still living in the Jia family. In a sense, they are also dependent on the Jia family. They will immediately turn against each other. This will definitely make the Jia family feel that this is the case.
He is a white-eyed wolf, and he must not leave such an impression on others.
Bao Qin pursed his lips but said nothing.
Although Baochai's tone was stern, he did not directly refute himself, but only said that he could not say such words again. It was obvious that Baochai still agreed with his opinion in his heart, but he could not openly oppose it.
Baochai sighed, she had married the right person. Feng Ziying was a leader of young scholars, and was favored by the princes and the emperor. Because of this, there were more and more people around him, many
They are all close relatives and friends. In this situation, can you refuse?
Even if someone doesn't approve of you at all, in the end it's all because of you in the eyes of others, which is really depressing.
"Baoqin, I understand your worries, but is Brother Feng a person who doesn't know how to measure things?" Baochai said slowly: "I guess there must be some reason here, otherwise how could the court turn a blind eye to it? Long Jinwei
He is well aware of everything going on in Beijing. How could he not know about such a big movement? Also, Brother Feng is in a critical period now. If there is anything wrong with this matter, no matter who it is, Brother Feng cannot let it go.
It hurts one's official reputation."
Baochai's words were so pertinent that even Baoqin frowned and thought.
"Let Ying'er go this time and let Ying'er bring these situations to Brother Feng. I believe Brother Feng has his own judgment." Baochai finally made the decision.
Baoqin hesitated for a moment, "Sister, can Ying'er explain the situation clearly?"
"Don't underestimate Ying'er, this girl knows how to measure the importance." Baochai still trusts her as her personal maid. She is a little careless about small things, but she is unambiguous about big things.
Baoqin stopped talking. She originally hoped that she could go to Yongping Mansion, but it was definitely impossible to go there openly. However, it was not impossible to dress up as a man. When she was young, she was often dressed as a boy by her father and followed him.
Even though I am older now, I feel like I can travel all over the country.
Bao Qin has some ideas.
Brother Feng is prospering in his official career, and he no longer has much energy to take care of other aspects. However, everyone else is thinking about relying on Brother Feng to do something. If it is really some gold and silver benefits, that's it, but if
Baoqin cannot tolerate using Brother Feng's official reputation to do inappropriate things to make deals.
But now it is obvious that Shen Yixiu is not very interested in these, but pays more attention to Brother Feng's career advancement. However, Xue Baoqin feels that the two are not contradictory and can even complement each other. Look at the results of Brother Feng's cooperation with Shanxi businessmen in Yongping Mansion.
You will know.
If I can take control of this situation, I can not only safeguard the interests of the Feng family, but also prevent those outside from taking advantage of the situation under various pretexts.
But Baochai seems to be a little dissatisfied with his own ideas, or maybe he has acted too hastily?
Bao Qin thought about it and found that he seemed to be a little impatient. He had not yet settled some matters. It would not be too late to get Brother Feng's approval before running some things.
