Volume B Chapter 156 It turns out to be her! (First update please vote!)
It is true that Feng Ziying rarely comes to Ningguo Mansion, but she often goes to Rongguo Mansion. Qin Keqing also learned about this situation from Wang Xifeng, who has a close relationship with her.
The elder son of the Feng family had a close relationship with Jia Lian and had frequent contacts with Baoyu. Even the second master there valued him very much, so he often visited Rongguo Mansion.
Even if the Feng family's elder comes here, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong will definitely accompany him. It is almost impossible for him to talk to the Feng family's elder alone. However, in Rongguo Mansion, the Feng family's elder can come and go.
You have to be more casual, and you can usually get in and out with a maid or a servant, so it's easier to find opportunities.
"Ruizhu, I heard that this uncle of the Feng family has won the imperial examination. Uncle Bao is studying like this. I'm afraid that Mr. Zheng in Xifu is even more anxious. Didn't Uncle Bao get beaten in the past two days? I guess.
Master Zhu Zheng is afraid that he will invite the Feng family uncle to come over and teach Uncle Bao a lesson. Go listen and watch for me and see if there is any news."
After thinking about it, Qin Keqing decided that she still had to go to Rongguo Mansion. Ningguo Mansion was too inconvenient. Fortunately, she often went there to talk to Wang Xifeng, so she was familiar there and there was no risk of being noticed.
"Why does grandma think this uncle of the Feng family knows something?" Ruizhu couldn't help but wonder, "This uncle Feng is only fourteen years old, how could he know these secret things about grandma?"
"Ruizhu, I can't say for sure, but as soon as I saw the way he looked at me, I knew he must know something that no one else knew, because that look was completely different from the way other men looked at me.
, Well, a little pity and intolerance, and some sympathy. Think about it, he is an outsider, and it is his first official meeting. Why should he look at me like this? Am I very pitiful? Then how can he see it?
Am I pitiful?"
Qin Keqing's self-examination is very careful and not unreasonable.
"My maid has always felt that this Uncle Feng is unlikely. His age does not match, well, he is even two years younger than grandma. How is it possible..." Ruizhu insisted on her opinion.
"The only way I can know the answer to this situation is if I find him." Qin Keqing shook his head.
"But what if he refuses to tell?" Ruizhu suggested another possibility.
"That's okay, it means that many people know about my situation, and I will be able to find out all this sooner or later." Qin Keqing's attitude was very firm.
"Grandma, actually you don't have to be so anxious. I think this matter will be known sooner or later. Since they can send the maid and the orb to Ningguo Mansion without much concealment, well, they are not even afraid of you knowing, it means that they are actually
I’m not worried about you knowing, maybe you think the time is not yet ripe, right?”
In the past three years, Ruizhu and Baozhu have become Qin Keqing's closest and indispensable maids. To a certain extent, the relationship between the three is more like companions who share the same disease, because the hidden secrets need to be shared together to make everyone happy.
It's more relaxed, but it also makes them more united.
Qin Keqing knew that what Ruizhu said was true, but this kind of suffering was too uncomfortable. Every day she saw Jia Zhenjia Rong's hypocritical face, she felt an indescribable disgust, which even grew day by day.
She can even be sure that Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, her father and son, and even Jia Zhen's father, Jia Jing, have gained enough benefits from their life experience, otherwise they would not treat her with such an attitude, and they would not even want to understand the real story behind it.
Something, so this made Qin Keqing feel particularly cold-hearted and despicable.
The two fathers and sons in Ningguo Mansion, plus Jia Jing who was hiding in Xuanzhen Temple to practice Taoism, were all a bunch of dirty villains who could sell anything for profit.
"No, Ruizhu, I don't want to wait any longer. Since there is such an opportunity, why not give it a try?" Qin Keqing seemed particularly determined at this time, "As you said, if they are not afraid of me, they know their own
Life experience, so it’s not a big deal for the Feng family’s elder brother to know something. So I decided that when I have the opportunity, I will directly ask this Feng family’s elder brother who is an extraordinary person!"
Feng Ziying didn't know that she had been targeted by many people, and Jia She and Qin Keqing were just one of them.
"Who sent this?" Feng Ziying stared at the ink in front of her. It looked like snake skin and had an extraordinary color. It was a rare and rare Liao Tianyi.
There are also ten Hu pens, a roll of rice paper, and an eel-yellow mud inkstone.
"Sir, there is a post here." Baoxiang sent the post.
Feng Ziying took a look and saw the words "Nanzhili Wujiangchen" with beautiful handwriting and smooth writing. But she was shocked in her heart. It turned out to be her!
Some already vague impressions seemed to come alive all of a sudden, making Feng Ziying a little distracted for a moment.
Seeing Feng Ziying dazedly holding these things that didn't seem to be very valuable, Baoxiang didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to hide out quietly.
Feng Ziying was indeed distracted.
The scene at Dahuguo Temple seemed to suddenly become clear as if the veil had been lifted, and it turned out that the calm and composed face had already been burned into my mind.
To say it was love at first sight is undoubtedly a bit exaggerated, but there is no doubt that the girl left a very deep and vivid impression on me.
Shen family.
He and the Feng family can also be regarded as locals.
It has been two years since Shen Jue went to Dongchang Prefecture as the prefect. The Feng family has visited him several times in Linqing. Well, of course it was Duan Xigui who went there on behalf of the Feng family. The Xue family has also developed very smoothly there. The whole
The situation in Shandong is quite gratifying.
There were no unnecessary words, just two concise and refreshing words of congratulations, which made Feng Ziying feel very comfortable.
He had heard too many compliments and flattery in the past few days, which had made him a little numb. On the contrary, these two simple congratulations showed the author's unconventionality even more.
Last year, the Shen family also sent some Suzhou embroidery products and Biluochun tea, and the Feng family also gave back some specialties from Shandong and other parts of the country, such as ginseng antler and black dates.
But at that time, Feng Ziying was still studying in the academy and didn't know it. By the time she came back from spring break, it had already been a long time.
This time, it was me who won the exam and was sent a congratulatory gift.
Compared to those gold, silver, jade and other things, Feng Ziying seems to prefer this kind of more elegant things.
I don’t know if it’s considered arty, or if I have a better impression of the person giving the gift?
Maybe she should take some time to pay her respects, Feng Ziying thought.
But what if I return my greetings? It is impossible to see that girl again, but at least it can show that I have received the Shen family's thoughts. By the way, there is also Shen Zizheng. Well, I don't know if he won the election this time?
The announcement of the results that day was too busy. Feng Ziying only looked at his own and did not bother to know more about the situation in other academies. He only knew that Yang Sichang and the Hou brothers had successfully passed the autumn period, but Shen Zizheng himself did not care. Thinking of this, Feng Ziying felt that she seemed to have overlooked it.
at the same time.
"Sister, why is the clear mud inkstone at home missing?" Shen Zizheng was rummaging through the boxes in the house, feeling quite puzzled.
The pure mud inkstone was sent back by his father. He remembered clearly that it was placed in the corner of the bookshelf in the study, but why was it missing?
"Oh, I gave it away." Shen Yixiu put away the brush calmly, his eyes wavered slightly, and he looked out the window.
"Give it away? My father asked someone to buy it. I also said it was going to be a gift for brother Wen Ruo." Shen Zizheng was a little frustrated, and then suddenly looked at his sister suspiciously: "Sister, you said it was a gift. To whom? To whom? Did you give it to me?"
"It's not from me, it's from the Shen family." A blush flashed across Shen Yixiu's face, but because of the angle, Shen Zizheng didn't notice the subtle changes in his sister's facial expression.
"Oh, was it arranged by dad?" Shen Zizheng was speechless. Since it was sent on behalf of the Shen family, it must have been arranged by his father.
"Well, so be it. Dad only said to congratulate those who should be congratulated, so I made the decision myself." Shen Yixiu wiped a handful of hanging hair, then put the pen down, calmed down, and prepared to get up and leave.
"Who is it for? Is it a birthday celebration or..." This inkstone must belong to the Shilin literati. Shen Zizheng was also very curious. His father didn't have many friends in Beijing, just a few of them.
"No." Shen Yixiu hesitated for a moment, and there was a flush of red in her ears. She was unwilling to lie, let alone lie in front of her brother. She took a deep breath before pretending to be calm and said: "Give it to this person." I was a student who participated in the Shuntian Qiuwei exam with you once, but he passed the exam."
"Who?" Shen Zizheng asked subconsciously, is it from the academy? How could he not know that his father also valued other people in his academy besides Yang Wenruo and the Hou brothers?
"Feng Keng from Qingtan Academy." Shen Yixiu tried his best to appear calm and natural as he explained: "Father said that the Feng family is in Shandong, well, it is considered a famous family in Dongchang Mansion, and they often visit him. So I also wrote a letter saying that if Qiu Wei, the eldest son of the Feng family, wins the exam this time, he should also be congratulated."
"Feng Ziying?" Shen Zizheng suddenly understood.
He got to know Feng Ziying after that time at Dahuguo Temple. Later, he also participated in the organization of the scholarly event on behalf of Chongzheng Academy. It was a bit of training, but after all, they each belonged to two academies, and their studies were getting heavier. Later, there were not so many contacts.
Shen Zizheng knew his sister very well. If his father asked him to give gifts, his sister should let him do it. Is it because he was afraid that he would be in a bad mood because he had missed the chance to win this autumn? So you deliberately avoid yourself?
Thinking of this, he felt a little grateful for Sister's thoughtfulness, "Sister, actually you don't have to avoid me, I understand, I can also see it, really,..."
Shen Yixiu was so embarrassed that he almost threw away the fan in his hand. What did his brother know?
"Feng Ziying's basic knowledge of economics and justice is not good, but this guy's current policy theory is so good. Brother Wen Ruo and Ruogu Ruopu both admire him. I don't know if this guy has been exposed to too much government and military affairs in the border areas for a long time, so he feels deeply about it. , the strategies he wrote were extremely targeted, even recognized by many officials in the DPRK..." Shen Zizheng said, minding his own business, "So this guy got 149 in the exam and narrowly passed. , it’s good luck, but it’s also well-deserved. Now even Qiu Wei is paying more and more attention to current policy theory. I’m just lagging behind in this aspect. In the past three years, I also plan to work hard on current policy theory. , I will definitely pass the exam!"
Her brother's words made Shen Yixiu feel relieved. She really thought that her brother knew what was on her mind. It turned out that she was just talking about his own affairs, which shocked her.
A touch of sadness also passed through Shen Yixiu's heart. His father occasionally mentioned the Feng family intentionally or unintentionally in his letters, and he didn't know if it was...
