"I heard that Xiao Fengxiuzhuan also married the third wife, and the wife of the third wife is also the cousin of the second brother Jia?" Zhang Su asked again.
When this question came out, no matter how stupid Jia Baoyu was, and no matter how ignored the eldest princess Yongning was, she understood that Zhang Sou suddenly became interested in Jia Baoyu, and of course it was not because of the Jia family, but the Feng family that the Jia family was involved in.
However, for the eldest princess Yongning, now that her daughter has married Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu has become her son-in-law, she naturally has to care about her future, which is also related to her daughter's lifelong happiness, so she said with a smile: "So'er.
I know the situation of Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan very well. The father of Lin’s daughter was the emperor’s most favored salt censor of Huaihe River. Unfortunately, he died early. Lin’s daughter’s mother is Baoyu’s father’s biological sister…”
Zhang So nodded slightly. He was indeed not interested in the Jia family, but Feng Ziying's previous attitude made him a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that the Feng family's status was extraordinary and he had to be careful to win over them.
His cousin (Qian Guozhong) specifically mentioned that not only did Feng Ziying have a high status among the young scholars in the North, but he also received news that his father Feng Tang was now said to be working hard in the northwest. He did not know whether this was the order of the Ministry of War or the emperor.
The intention of the arrangement is unclear, but he holds the border troops of the four northwest towns. Although they are far away from the capital, he also serves as the governor of Ji Liao. He is the benefactor and boss of the commander-in-chief of Ji Town, You Shigong, so he has great influence on both inside and outside the capital city.
Extremely powerful.
"Brother Feng and the Jia family are indeed related by marriage, and brother Feng and the Jia family move around very frequently. Brother Yu also benefited a lot from brother Feng's advice. There is also a younger brother in the family who is also studying at Qingtan Academy. His Highness must be the same.
I know." Jia Baoyu felt sad in his heart, but on the surface he could only appear happy.
"Well, I know that Jia Huan is very active in the academy. I have discussed classics and political theory with him several times, and he is also very knowledgeable..." Zhang So knew that Jia Huan was a concubine, so he looked down upon him a little.
, but Jia Huan studied very hard. The teaching in the academy also said that Jia Huan would be a candidate for Jinshi in the future. If he could pass the Jinshi exam, that would be another matter.
"Oh, Your Highness also knows Brother Huan?" Jia Baoyu felt even more bitter...
I have taken great pains to get to know each other, but they have already known Huan Laosan in the academy, and they seem to have a good impression of Huan Laosan. Could this be the advantage of studying? The friendship between classmates is even more extraordinary.
If I had known earlier, I should have..., but it's too late to think about this at this time, and I really don't like economics, justice and political theory, what can I do?
"Well, we have had several interactions." Jia Huan is also a famous figure in the academy. On the one hand, he is favored by Feng Ziying. On the other hand, Jia Huan does study hard. In addition, his words and deeds are extreme, and he has quite shocking views.
He is one of the alternate editors of "Yuedan Commentary", so he is also well-known in the academy.
However, Zhang So is not very interested in the current Jia Huan. It will be worthwhile to recruit Jia Huan after he passes the imperial examination. Now Zhang So is more interested in Feng Ziying. How can he get closer to Feng Ziying?
Let him be able to speak well of himself when he meets his father in the future, and even influence others to help him. This is what Zhang So cares about the most.
"If Brother Jia is familiar with Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan, you might as well invite him to have a drink while he is in the palace. Gu He hopes that he and Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan can cook wine and discuss state affairs, drink tea and talk about fragrance..." Zhang So
Jia Baoyu was stunned when he put forward his ideas without any subtlety, "Brother Feng also came to Tiewan Mountain?"
"Well, Brother Jia, you don't know?" Zhang Su nodded, "I went to see Xiao Feng Xiuzuan before, and the conversation was very pleasant, but Gu's feelings are not over yet, and so are the guests who may come to visit Xiao Feng Xiuzuan.
Quite a few, so I couldn’t fully enjoy it..."
Jia Baoyu understood that this was to let him be the matchmaker and let Brother Feng have a drink or a tea party with King Lu again.
"Since Your Highness has this intention, why not..." Before Jia Baoyu finished speaking, Princess Yongning had already answered: "Since Soo'er has this intention, then leave it to Baoyu. Baoyu has a close relationship with Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan.
"Du, the relationship between the Feng and Jia families is not ordinary. Baoyu is here to help bridge the gap. You three can just take this opportunity to have a drink and talk happily..."
Baoyu hasn't come back to his senses yet, but Princess Yongning has already realized many things.
Zhang So must have gone to see Feng Ziying, and he probably didn't get the response he expected, so Zhang So was so worried.
At this critical moment, the attitudes and views of any of these influential civil servants may have an extraordinary effect. Although Zhang So has the upper hand now, as long as the dust does not settle for a day, everything is possible.
Zhang So naturally did not dare to give up any aid that could help him.
Although Feng Ziying is young, his status is not comparable to that of ordinary scholars. He is already a fourth-grade official. He is a Shuji scholar and has a status as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy. Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and others are political mentors in the future.
The future is limitless, and Zhang So probably also wants to make friends and win over him. If Zhang So ascends the throne in the future, young ministers like Feng Ziying can just rely on him to help him.
Jia Baoyu was still a little confused, but who was the eldest princess Yongning? After realizing who she was, she immediately agreed. This was a great opportunity for Jia Baoyu to get involved in the social interactions between these people. Others could only ask for it. The Jia family really had a lot of children.
What a good daughter, she was able to find such a good marriage partner.
Mei Fei also tasted the taste.
Her son has made great progress after studying at Qingtan Academy for one year. He has rapidly evolved from a young boy who knows nothing to a qualified prince, which makes her very happy.
Qingtan Academy's advantage in political theory is not comparable to that of Tonghui Academy, Baima Academy, Shuangqiao Academy and other northern and southern academies. It is said that the advantage of political theory started with the great debate in Feng Ziying's department, and
Nowadays, the editorial power of "Internal Reference" published in the name of Hanlin Academy is almost exclusively controlled by Jinshi scholars from Qingtan Academy.
Now, "Yuedan Commentary", compiled and published by Qingtan Academy, is expected to become the second political publication of the Zhou Dynasty after "Internal Reference", and is extremely popular among young scholars who have not yet entered officialdom.
"Yuedan Tan" was officially renamed "Yuedan Commentary", with a more radical and avant-garde style. It is famous for its courage to analyze and comment on some things and trends that have just emerged and have not yet been finalized by the government and the public, and lead the trend of the moment.
Originally it was only circulated within Qingtan Academy, but now it is not only accepted by large academies such as Imperial College, Tonghui Academy, Baima Academy, Shuangqiao Academy, but also some official schools have begun to subscribe, and there are also some officials from various ministries in the DPRK and Central Government, including the Hanlin Academy. They also took the initiative to ask Qingtan Academy to send a copy to them every month after publication, as a preliminary guide for the more rigorous "Internal Reference" for reading, analysis and judgment.
After his son came back, he mentioned that Feng Ziying had a great influence in Qingtan Academy and had become the idol of young scholars in recent years. Everyone aimed at Feng Ziying's current achievements and hoped to imitate Feng Ziying and become famous in the autumn and spring. , once the storm turned into a dragon, the sky was high, and every time Feng Ziying returned to Qingtan Academy, she could arouse a wave of enthusiasm from the scholars.
Because of this, and the influence of his father Feng Tang in the military, whether the choice of his son as heir apparent has not yet been finalized, or whether the heir apparent is established in the future, the Feng family and his son need to be well-coined and recruited as helpers.
After the eldest princess came out in confusion, Jia Baoyu didn't come back to her senses for a while. It wasn't until she walked some way that the eldest princess Yongning said with a complicated expression: "Xian son-in-law, how is your relationship with Feng Ziying?"
Jia Baoyu hesitated for a moment, "I have a pretty good relationship with my son-in-law, and I care about him, but because Brother Huan likes to read, he appreciates me even more."
Jia Baoyu's words did not conceal anything, he told the truth.
Princess Yongning pondered and said: "I didn't expect King Lu to value the Feng family so much. No wonder Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother both admire Feng Ziying very much. Ninth Brother is just that. Because of Haitong Yinzhuang, I didn't expect that Tenth Brother also admires Feng Ziying." Feng Ziying attaches great importance to it, and it seems that it is not without reason."
"Mother, what should we do?" Mrs. Niu had met Feng Ziying and knew that Feng Ziying was famous, but she thought she was a daughter of the clan, so she didn't care much. She didn't expect that this person was so valued by others.
"What should we do? Since Baoyu has a good relationship with him, let's hold a banquet invitation and help connect Zhang So and Feng Ziying. Baoyu, you must also take the initiative to participate and deepen the relationship. Zhang So will have a great chance of choosing the heir apparent. Once he becomes the crown prince, , I will find a way to arrange you into Zhan Shifu, and ask the emperor to grant you an official position. First, go to the Economic Affairs Bureau as a school clerk, and then slowly work on it. Qingjilang, the chief clerk will do this step by step. When King Lu After succeeding to the throne and receiving a great treasure, you can leave the Zhanshi Mansion and go to places like Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple, and Taichang Temple. If you are determined to inherit your father's business, it is not a bad idea to go to the Ministry of Industry..."
Princess Yongning is also a little pity that her son-in-law doesn't like to study. It would be much easier if he could have a Jinshi background. But then again, if he really has a Jinshi background, who would want to marry a daughter of the clan and affect his future? It's better to struggle on your own, the future is much brighter.
"I don't know if Brother Feng is busy now, my son-in-law..." Baoyu hesitated a little. He really didn't want to deal with Feng Ziying. Thinking of Sister Bao and Sister Lin, and thinking of his elder sister-in-law who was also in love with him,
He felt particularly uncomfortable.
"You have to do it whether you are busy or not. Zhang So values it so much. If you finally get the opportunity, you must let him see your role. Otherwise, with Mei Fei's temperament, if she is a useless person, she will not be able to do anything.
Do you care about the relationship between relatives?" Princess Yongning said coldly.
