Since Jia She was specifically invited to go there, it meant that Jia She was already at a psychological disadvantage, and Feng Ziying felt a lot more confident.
Jia She couldn't sit still now. It seemed that Sun Shaozu and Shi Nai were hooking up, and with Niu Jizong's intervention, Shi Xiangyun's fate seemed to be decided.
In the book "Dream of Red Mansions", the fate of Yingchun was rewritten by himself, but this change inadvertently pushed Shi Xiangyun into the fire pit. Is it destiny to drink and peck?
Feng Ziying didn't know what to do. It was not his wish to push Shi Xiangyun into the Sun family's fire pit, but now he had no good reason to interfere. He was not familiar with the brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding, and even Jia Mu could not interfere.
For what reason?
Moreover, this was Niu Jizong's matchmaking. It was obvious that Sun Shaozu was highly valued by Niu Jizong. If he intervened now, he would undoubtedly have to confront Niu Jizong. It was not appropriate now.
After stepping into Jia She's courtyard, Feng Ziying's mind turned away from Shi Xiangyun's fate and returned to the realistic issue of welcoming the Spring Festival.
He was still wearing a brown shirt, and his slightly stooped body in the slightly dim flower hall also showed that this person might be a little uneasy now. In addition, Mr. Xing was also with him, seeming to cheer Jia She up.
"Uncle Shi Shi." Feng Ziying simply bowed her head.
"Ziying is here? Sit down quickly, sit down quickly!" The moment Jia She saw Feng Ziying, he felt a little complicated.
The redeemers in Jingying did make a lot of money thanks to his gift, but he knew that Wang Xifeng, Jia Rong, and Jia Rui made more money later. Of course, they put in more effort and worked harder, especially those in the back.
Low-level military attachés need to run one by one and negotiate one by one, which takes a lot of effort.
But thinking that Wang Xifeng made so much money and left, and now it is said that he bought a mansion behind the Huimin Pharmacy in Baodafang, Jia She felt even more sad. If Jia Rong and Jia Rui cooperated with him, this sum of money would be
You should earn the money yourself.
At that time, he never thought of bringing people like Jia Rong and Jia Rui in. He only thought that he could not make such a big living, but he never thought that he had never had the habit of sharing food and was used to eating alone.
Jia She has not yet suspected that there is anything going on between Wang Xifeng and Feng Ziying. It seems that few men can tolerate Wang Xifeng's hot temper. Even Jia Lian can only retreat after divorce. Jia She is quite greedy for the voluptuous body of his ex-daughter-in-law.
However, it was a pity that he did not have the courage to provoke Wang Xifeng.
"Are you discussing Baoyu's marriage with the old lady this time?" After some pleasantries, Jia She got to the point, "If that's what I mean, don't be too particular about it. The current situation in our Rongguo Mansion is well known to everyone.
Pretending to be fat will only make people laugh, doesn't the Niu family know the current situation of our Jia family?"
Feng Ziying was very surprised by Jia She's unceremonious rant. Now that he was ignoring him, he really wanted to remove himself from the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion? You must know that he was still standing in front of the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, Wei Lie.
What about the general's name?
"Uncle Shi Shi, that's what you said, but the Jia family are also four princes and princes after all. If they really want to marry someone coldly, are they afraid that the outside world will laugh at them?" Feng Ziying said casually.
"Humph, the government can't even afford the monthly payment, so why bother with this kind of pretense, and aren't you afraid that when the bride comes in and hears the complaints from these servants, she will go back and complain?" Jia She seemed to have no scruples, "Forget it, this
You don’t care about my affairs. The old lady is the one who makes the decision. If I ask for your name, it’s hard for you to refuse. How much do you plan to borrow from your family?”
It was so vulgar and straightforward that Feng Ziying couldn't say anything. She could only say vaguely: "I'm afraid there will still be five or six thousand short of Baoyu's marriage. There is still half a year to the end of the year. It is estimated that there will still be a lot of shortcomings.
We will also have detailed discussions with Third Sister to see what Third Sister’s specific needs are..."
Jia She exchanged glances with Mr.
case, how much did Feng Ziying gain from it? Thinking of this, Jia She felt itchy.
"Brother Keng, benevolent and righteous!" Ms. Xing said suddenly, "Then what do you think about the matter of our second girl?"
This sudden turn of events made Feng Ziying almost come to her senses. She thought for a moment and then said: "To be honest with you, my nephew still hopes to let his second sister come in as soon as possible. The second sister will be nineteen soon, and her age doesn't count.
When she is young, even Baoyu is about to get married, and her sister has not yet left the government, which will make people laugh."
Jia She felt annoyed. The second girl was indeed quite old. She was one year older than Baoyu. If she was left outside, she would be an old girl. This was what Jia She was worried about. She must not become the sister of the second child's disciple Fu Shi.
Just like Fu Qiufang, if you haven't left the cabinet at the age of 22 or 3, it will really become a big joke, and the older you are, the harder it is to accept others.
To say that the girls in the Jia family are not young anymore, the third girl is also sixteen years old, the fourth girl is about to be fourteen, Xiuyan is about to be eighteen, and the Shi family girl is also sixteen years old.
In a flash, these girls are all old enough to get married.
Brother Lianzhu’s daughter-in-law and two younger sisters have also been living in the house for a year. They seem to be sixteen or seventeen years old, right? They say they want to find a good family in the capital city, but how can it be so easy to find them? A poor family in Jinling.
, do you really think that a scholarly family will be popular in the capital city?
"Ziying, since you talked about your second sister, let's talk about it carefully. Uncle Yu has already told you that if your second sister was to be your wife, Uncle Yu would have already agreed, and
I will also give you a generous dowry, but you want your second sister to be your concubine. Our Jia family is also a family with two sons, so this is a bit too humiliating..."
Jia She started to ramble, and Feng Ziying also knew that this was his usual tactic, and it was hard for him to argue. If he just slandered her, he would feel sorry for Yingchun, but he still had to keep some bottom lines.
Seeing that Feng Ziying didn't answer, both Jia She and the Xing family felt guilty. Sun Shaozu and the Shi family couldn't hide the hookup from the Feng family. Now the second girl suddenly changed from two families fighting to only one taking over. Moreover, people also said that the second girl was old.
If he doesn't leave the cabinet, his reputation will be damaged. Jia She has to consider this. The longer he delays, the more disadvantageous it will be to himself.
"Brother Keng, our Jia family is also a reasonable person, and we will not do things like selling girls, but you also know that aunt has taught the second girl over the years and spent a lot of money on her..." Mrs. Xing saw Jia
She winked at herself repeatedly, but she could only bite the bullet and say some nonsense.
Feng Ziying looked at her nose and heart and kept silent. She only heard what Xing said and felt funny in her heart.
To be honest, Mrs. Xing is not as unkind as some stepmothers in treating Yingchun, but to say how preferential treatment is, it is a joke, that is, it is ordinary.
With her stingy temperament, it is not bad to be able to do this. The main reason is because of the existence of Jia Mu, and later girls such as Daiyu, Xiangyun and Baochai moved in, so naturally it is impossible for them to come from outside.
The girls here live better than the girls in the mansion.
Mr.
Got money?
Thinking of this, Jia She felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He had suffered a big loss.
"Ziying, your aunt has said so much. Uncle Yu also agrees with your opinion. The second girl is already old and should leave the cabinet as soon as possible. What do you think should be done about this matter?" After hesitating for a long time, Jia She
Seeing that Feng Ziying still refused to speak clearly, he hesitated and said: "When the second girl gets married, Uncle Fool must have given her some dowry, but you also know the difficulties in the house now. Baoyu has to borrow money to survive when she gets married, and the second girl and Brother Cong
My younger brother, I'm going to talk about getting married in a few years, it's hard for a fool."
"Well, Shibo said that, and my nephew understands it. I wonder what arrangement Shibo is planning to make?" Feng Ziying felt relieved when she saw that she had forced the old guy to give up her love. However, this was a concubine. How much could she expect from Jia She?
It is obviously impossible to get a dowry. You are so anxious that this guy is dragging you with you, which also hurts the heart of Yingchun who is looking forward to seeing everything.
"Ziying, I made it clear that I borrowed 10,500 taels of silver from Sun Shaozu and invested it in a business. At that time, I was hoping that the second girl would join the Sun family, and the money could be used slowly.
Come to pay it back, but now that the second girl wants to follow you, the Sun family will definitely not give up. This money must be paid back. Uncle Yu only has 5,000 taels here, and the other more than 5,000 taels. Uncle Yu will not be able to pay it back for the time being...
"
After folding it in half, Feng Ziying secretly laughed in her heart. It seemed that her manipulation was effective. At least she saved more than five thousand taels of silver, but it was not enough.
"My nephew will never wrong my second sister when she joins our Feng family. It is up to the second sister to decide which room she will go into. However, the eldest eldest brother, Shen, and the second eldest brother, Baochai, both know the second sister's temperament.
Everyone is welcome, so Uncle Shi and Auntie can just rest assured. If the second sister comes back and says that she was wronged at the Feng family, Auntie Shibo will just ask questions about me."
Feng Ziying didn't mention anything else, only her own arrangements.
Jia She had no choice but to sigh and said, "Ziying, the second girl is my girl after all, so I won't treat her badly. Even if I become your concubine, it must be glamorous and can't be laughed at. The dowry is
You can rest assured, I know how to do this."
Feng Ziying nodded, that's what she wanted.
He didn't expect Jia She to be very generous, but if Jia She didn't even understand this basic human sophistication, and wouldn't even try to earn face for her when she came out of the cabinet, then he would really have to deal with this guy in the future.
After all, don't expect to do anything to help him anymore.
