Geng Scroll, Section 172, Subtle

Seeing that the mother and son were a little excited, Feng Ziying wisely did not go over to disturb them. With these two brothers-in-law by her side, Feng Ziying was not lonely.

"Wenlong, the business here in Daguan Tower is booming. Are you interested in taking charge of it alone? I think Brother Liu may not be willing to keep working in this theater, and he will eventually leave."

Xue Pan's performance has been much better than in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", at least not so muddy. In addition, Xia Jingui of the Xia family is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Aunt Xue was a little anxious and planned to take in two concubines for Xue Pan, but Xia Jingui refused to agree and the two sides were still fighting.

"No, Ziying, I know my own affairs, so I just go for a walk every day. Brother Liu will naturally arrange what he can do, and leave me what he can't do. There are only bad things, and I don't have the ability.

, If Brother Liu really quits, this theater will either have to be sold or hired to take care of it, but I think the business is good now and it would be a pity to sell it."

What Xue Pan said was quite satisfactory, which surprised both Feng Ziying and Xue Pan.

It should be said that Xue Pan's behavior in the past two or three years has been greatly restrained compared to the absurdity in Jinling. Especially after getting married, Xia Jingui's strength made Xue Pan even more afraid. He was unscrupulous in Jinling, but when he arrived in the capital

The changes in the environment after the city, coupled with Feng Ziying's hard control, allowed Xue Pan to gradually get on the right track, but Xia Jingui intensified this situation.

Nowadays, Xue Pan can only go crazy after drinking, and he can't cause much trouble. Besides sleeping in in the morning, he goes for a walk in the theater in the afternoon, and if there is a drinking party in the evening, he will have a good time.

There is also a group of friendly friends, but basically they all have a certain sense of propriety, so life is actually enjoyable.

"Well, what the eldest brother said makes sense. Even if Brother Liu doesn't want to run the business anymore, he can still find someone to help him take care of it. This can be regarded as a very generous fixed income every year."

Xue Biao also felt that it would be a pity if the Daguan Tower was sold out. There are not many ordinary businesses in the capital city that can generate stable profits. Many of them make money this year and lose money next year. How can a business like the Daguan Tower be so stable?

Can he be good at dancing and make friends with the children of many high-ranking families in Beijing?

At least in terms of connections, this aspect can enrich the Xue family a lot. Although Xue Pan is a bit dull, but with the help of Feng Ziying's relationship, even Prince Zhongshun, the boss of Mingyue Tower, the biggest competitor of Daguan Tower, has to give some face. It can be said that

This is the most suitable for Xue Pan.

"That's true. Then the only way is to hire someone to take care of it. Then you might as well give some stock, which can also tie people's hearts."

Feng Ziying thought about it, Daguan Tower is also a weathervane, many religions and people like to hang out in this area. If used well, it is a good place to get all kinds of news and rumors in the capital city, and intelligence can often come out from these places.

There are more than a million people living in the capital city. Merchants and travelers from all over the Zhou Dynasty are all proud to have been to the capital city, and their contacts can bring news from various places. A place like Daguan Tower where you can play, eat and drink is undoubtedly the most popular place.

It is a gathering place where communication is easy, and various social conditions and public opinions among the people underground are often fermented in this kind of place.

Such a platform is a natural place for gathering intelligence, so Wang Wenyan attaches great importance to Daguan Tower.

The three of them were chatting on one side, while the two mother and daughter pairs on the other side also entered the room and asked about their married life in detail.

Here we inevitably have to ask about some topics that our daughter's family is too shy to mention, but they are very important to Mrs. Xue Wang and Mrs. Xue Cui.

What the uncle's attitude is towards his daughter, what his daughter's status will be after she gets married, how she gets along with her eldest brother, and the attitudes and opinions of Mrs. Feng's wife and concubine towards their two wives, are all related to the daughter's future happiness, and also to the future of the Xue family.

fate.

"My husband treats my daughter and Baoqin very well. The emperor also gave special gifts to me. My wife and concubine are also very kind. My daughter and Baoqin have already been served tea." Baochai wiped away his tears and slowly regained his composure.

, the joy on his face did not diminish.

"Then what they did to you and Baoqin..." Mrs. Xue Cui asked eagerly.

She knew that her daughter had a strong temper, and now she was working as a concubine, and there was also a eldest lady from a scholarly family, so she was particularly worried that her daughter would not have a good relationship with the Feng family.

"Don't worry, aunt. My husband is very fond of Baoqin. He said that Baoqin is sensible and sensible, and he can also discuss current affairs with my husband. He is about to become my husband's think tank. My wife and aunt only have a son like my husband. My husband's attitude towards my wife and aunt

It has a great impact." Baochai knew her aunt's worries.

Judging from the current situation, Feng Ziying does like herself and Bao Qin very much, otherwise she would have shown a very doting and close attitude in the past few days. She and Bao Qin were both feeling a little unwell after the wedding.

I'm afraid a man might not be so patient, and he wouldn't be so attentive to taking care of him, but he really felt like it was natural for him to be placed on his husband. This moved both Baochai and Baoqin very much, and it also showed that his husband really cared about them.

of.

Baochai's words made Bao Qin raise his eyebrows. Discussing current affairs and being a think tank seemed like a compliment, but how should you listen to this?

Discussing current affairs was a private conversation between myself and my husband, but I didn't expect that my husband also told my cousin. I don't know if it was because my husband said it carelessly, or because he favored his cousin more than me.

But this time, there is always something else about the wise man's words.

Maybe my cousin is a little jealous too?

Baoqin felt a burst of joy for no reason. It was not easy to make her cousin feel jealous. She had always shown herself to be generous and generous.

"Oh? Really?" Mrs. Xue Cui naturally couldn't understand the mystery. She only knew that her daughter was liked by her uncle, which was not easy.

Baochai and Baoqin are both outstanding figures. Mrs. Xue Cui is more aware that her niece is not simple-minded. Although her daughter is also smart and wise, she may not be able to compare with the other, especially since the other is still his legitimate wife.

"Aunt, can this be false? Bao Qin knows better. Just look at how beautiful her smile is, and you know that her heart is sweeter than honey right now." Baochai said with a genuine smile.

When Bao Qin saw her mother's expectant and concerned eyes looking over her, she could only nod: "Don't worry, mother, my daughter knows how to do a good job. My husband treats his sister and daughter very well. My wife and aunt also said that they would move the eldest and second bedrooms home as soon as possible."

After the property is divided, the second house will be taken care of by the elder sister and daughter. However, the elder sister and daughter still feel it is not suitable for them. Let’s wait for a while. If we can wait until Sister Lin gets married and the third house is taken care of, then we can come again.

It's better to say this."

Seeing that her daughter was so sensible, Mrs. Xue Cui was also very happy, "Baoqin, you and Baochai should discuss it together carefully. The situation of the Feng family is special, with three bedrooms side by side. The wife and aunt will inevitably have to compare, but everything else is fine."

It's easy to say that Baochai and Baoqin are still confident in all aspects, but when it comes to this heir, neither Baochai nor Baoqin can slack off. The eldest son, Mrs. Shen, gave birth to a daughter, but she also has two concubines, so

You have to step up, it would be best if the eldest son is born in the second bedroom."

Xue Cui's words did not mention who would be the heir of the second wife, but Baochai felt like a bright mirror in her heart.

My aunt may even hope that Bao Qin will be her husband. Anyway, the son she gives birth to is a legitimate son, so it will have no impact. If Bao Qin gives birth to a son, even if he is not a legitimate son, he will still be the eldest son of a concubine, and the status of a son born by a concubine is different from that of a son born by a concubine. Bao Qin

This eldest son of a concubine can almost establish the most valuable status besides the legitimate son.

"Auntie, please be at ease. Since Bao Qin and I have married into the Feng Mansion, we will naturally fulfill our responsibilities, but this also takes time..." There are some words that even Baochai can't explain clearly. His cheeks were slightly hot, and Baochai pondered.

Said: "My husband takes great care of the health of Sister Shen and us. Sister Shen just gave birth not long ago, so my husband said that he doesn't want Sister Shen to get pregnant again within a year to avoid affecting her health..."

Aunt Xue and Mrs. Xue Cui immediately understood that this meant that there was no possibility of having a legitimate son within a year, but this was an opportunity for Baochai and Baoqin, well, especially Baochai's opportunity.

Although the eldest son's second and third sons each belong to the same house and their children are unrelated, to Feng Ziying, the eldest son must have an extraordinary importance in her mind.

"Baochai, it's good that you understand the importance of this." Aunt Xue finally spoke, looking at her daughter with a little more care and love in her eyes, "Brother Keng is a good boy. He has always been caring for you, and mother knows that.

But in the Feng Mansion, you must learn to take care of the housework, learn to be harmonious with your sisters-in-law, learn to be filial to your parents-in-law, so that Brother Keng can feel at ease when you are away from home, and don’t care about small immediate gains..."

Aunt Xue didn't quite agree with her sister-in-law's point of view. In her opinion, how could someone like Feng Ziying not see through the mystery here? Since Baochai was already deeply liked and could stand firm, if nothing else happened, she could just give birth to a son.

, that is the legitimate son. As for the bastard son, it does not matter to Aunt Xue. Anyway, Baochai will be pregnant sooner or later. If it can be the eldest son, that is great. If it is a step later, it will be regarded as the legitimate son of the second wife and cannot be eaten.

What a loss, as for Baoqin, there is something different. If a noble son can be born early, the eldest son of this concubine will be more promising in the future, so Baoqin will definitely give it a try.

There was something hidden in Aunt Xue's words that made both Xue Cui and Xue Baoqin aware of something. Aunt Xue didn't seem to want her to be too dominant, but Baoqin didn't care either. Faced with Shen Yixiu's recovery and Lin Daiyu's marriage, if the two If the sisters still want to go their own way and can't work together, then the couple will really break up.
