"This is not just a place to go, but a real good place." Miaoyu turned over and stood close to her husband, speaking softly, "There are many people in the capital city who want to come to our house.
If we recruit people, the queue will stretch for two miles."
"Is it such an exaggeration?" Feng Ziying laughed, "If you say it's a disaster year, it's more like refugees coming to Beijing. In ordinary times, how can there be so many idle people?"
"My husband, you really can't believe it. The refugees' houses won't just ask for it, or they'll buy it directly from the girls and boys."
Miaoyu seemed to have stayed in the house for a long time and gradually became more familiar with the things in the house. This completely overturned Feng Ziying's previous impression of him being untouchable.
"Things are not going well in the capital now. There are quite a few people who are willing to work in the mansions of wealthy families like ours. They are dignified and respectable. When you go out and say that they are working in the Feng Mansion, everyone outside will want to work there."
I’m impressed, even if I want to settle the account, people are happy to do so,·”
These words shocked Feng Ziying. Is the Feng family so popular and respected in the capital city now?
I don’t feel that I have done much, and I haven’t stayed in the capital city for a long time. Why do I feel like I am the most wealthy family in the capital city?
"Miaoyu, isn't that an exaggeration?" Feng Ziying pulled Miaoyu's body and asked in surprise: "Is our Feng family's reputation so good?"
"Ms. sir, you are a second-class Jinshi, a Shujishi, Xiao Feng Xiuzhan, and now you are the Minister of War. I have been several governors. Our family is both civilized and military. Why shouldn't our reputation be good?"
Miaoyu retorted plausibly.
"My wife and my concubine are generous and kind to others. Our Feng family's monthly income is much better than other families. If the servants encounter three disasters or five illnesses, my wife will arrange special pensions. These cannot be hidden from others, including the servants.
Anyone who goes back and forth will know which one is better and which one is worse by just asking. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. As our Feng family goes back and forth, its reputation will naturally improve."
"Don't you, Madam, care about these things now?"
Feng Ziying knew that her mother and aunt were no longer involved in these matters. Each house was in charge of its own house, but the monthly payment standard was still the same. Yuanyang took the lead in ordinary chores, with Ping'er and Jinchuan'er assisting.
"My wife and concubine don't care, but the rules have been established for a long time. Xiao rules and Cao follows, and every room follows this, isn't it the same?" Miaoyu squinted her eyes and said nothing, obviously a little sleepy again, "Yuanyang
They also do things carefully and carefully, so everyone is relaxed and happy..."
Seeing Miaoyu fighting with her eyes, Feng Ziying also shrank down and simply hugged the woman before going back to sleep.
After the lights were turned off, I fell asleep to the sound of beautiful rain. The ashes stayed in the bottle to warm the fire, and the incense added to warm the quilt.
Feng Ziying didn't get up until she was already asleep, but Miaoyu had also gotten up early.
The jade official came in to wait on Feng Ziying to put on her clothes, and then Feng Ziying returned to Jingqi Study from Cucui'an.
I have to say that Jia Baoyu chose the site of Yihongyuan very well. It is not far from Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Huancui Temple. It is to the east and is surrounded by rocks and trees. It is very quiet. When you go out, turn left and you will see the Grand View Garden. The door is convenient for entry and exit.
After moving in, the original provincial villa was fully used. Everyone usually lives in a building surrounded by Qinfang River. Each room is in a ring-shaped two-story building, similar to the Fujian earth buildings. The layout is just that there are separate partitions in the middle, and doors are required to enter and exit, but in fact, most of the time everyone would rather choose to live in the original residence.
For example, Daiyu is in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Baochai is in Hengwuyuan, Yingchun is in Zhujin Tower, Xiuyan is in Luxueguang, Shen Yixiu is in Daoxiang Village, Youer Yousan lives in Qujingyuan, these newcomers are also Don't worry, Li Min and Li Qi originally lived in Qiangweiyuan, but Qiangweiyuan is a bit smaller. Now with their consent, they have arranged to move to Ningxixuan in Dongfu, while Zhen Baoyu has been arranged to live in Dengxian Pavilion.
The spring break of the Zhou Dynasty was very long. After Emperor Wan Tong ascended the throne, he also stated that officials could rest until after the Lantern Festival before starting work. However, the Seventh Cabinet Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also needed people on duty during the vacation to facilitate handling of urgent official duties.
But in fact, except for the Cabinet and the Ministry of War, which need to be on duty, all other agencies can be regarded as being on duty. If there is really an emergency, you can go directly to the minister's room and call for help.
Naturally, it was not Feng Ziying's turn on the first day of the lunar new year. Zhang Huaichang, the minister, would definitely have to go to work. Sun Chengzong was supposed to be there on the second day of the lunar new year, but Sun Chengzong had a guest at his house on the second day of the lunar year, so he changed wheels with Feng Ziying and became Feng Ziying, who went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War on the second day of the lunar month. Sitting on the paper.
In addition to the ministers, there are four other doctors who have joined in, and the seven people sit in turns. Of course, the ministers suffer more, and they start to be on duty from the age of thirty. On the first day of the thirtieth day, they are all ministers, and the formal order starts from the second day, so the ministers The ministers have to take turns three times, but for the ministers, two rounds are enough.
The first day of the new year is also a time for the whole family to be happy. Feng Ziying took a sip of tea in Jingqi Study Room and then went to Daoxiang Village. She first visited her daughter Tongniang, and then took Tongniang to Yingchun, Miaoyu and Xiuyan. Look at the sons and daughters.
The others were all too young, but Tong Niang was the cutest at her age. After giving red envelopes to the children, Feng Ziying took Tong Niang to Baochai's place.
Baochai's face was rounded and she looked a little pregnant. Because she ate well and slept well, she was obviously plump and rounded. Tongniang was also very sensible. She looked at Baochai's slightly protruding belly and said, She asked in a sweet voice: "Is Erniang carrying a little brother or a little sister in her belly? Aunt Qing said that the pointed belly button is the little brother, and the round belly button is the little sister."
Even Baochai was amused by Tong Niang's childish words, and even ignored Tong Niang's call of Aunt Qing.
Strictly speaking, Qingwen is just the girl from the first marriage, so she shouldn't be called Aunt Qing, but only Aunt Qing. However, that is a family matter, and Shen Yixiu doesn't mind her and there is no need to offend anyone.
"Then does Tong Niang want Er Niang to have a little brother or a little sister?" Baochai asked with a smile. "Well, I hope it's a little brother." Tong Niang said with eyes twinkling.
"Why?" Baochai was a little surprised.
"Because I have a little brother, I can bully him in the future. Even my father said that I have to beat my brother as early as possible..." Tong Niang looked at Feng Ziying and said. Feng Ziying was stunned. When did she say that? It seemed like I said it.
When she took Tong Niang to tease Anlang, she said that her daughter should hit her brother as early as possible, lest Anlang would grow up and Tong Niang would not be able to win in the future. Tong Niang nodded and agreed, and at that time she also Shen Yixiu and Yingchun laughed heartily.
Tong Niang's words also made Baochai laugh, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her husband, and asked Tong Niang softly: "How can my husband teach such a bad child? Why do you have to beat your brother?"
"Well, if you don't beat your brother, he won't be able to beat him when he grows up." Tong Niang thought for a while and said.
Baochai was so angry that the little girl's answer was impeccable, but the premise of her words was that she must beat her brother.
Feng Ziying was also amused and beamed with joy. She couldn't help but hugged Tong Niang and said, "Tong Niang is the best. From now on, all the brothers will have to listen to you. If anyone doesn't listen, he will be beaten, okay? Who makes Tong Niang the boss? Where is my sister?"
Seeing Feng Ziying doting on Tong Niang so much, Baochai felt a little jealous inside, "My husband really loves Tong Niang so much."
"If my sister gives birth to a daughter for my husband, he will also like it." Feng Ziying said cheerfully: "But if it is a son, then my husband will have to strictly control and teach them. Who makes them boys? They are destined not to be like girls. It is so easy to shoulder the future glory and splendor of the Feng family."
Feng Ziying's words made Baochai's mood stir again. If she gave birth to a son, he would be the legitimate son of his second wife. In the future, he would be proud and proud, and he could strengthen his back.
Seeing Baochai worrying about gain and loss, Feng Ziying held Baochai's hand tightly and said: "Okay, sister, just take care of yourself and take care of yourself. Don't think too much. No matter you have children or daughters, they are all of your husband's blood. Cherish them all the same, and as a husband, I hope that all the women in our family can have children, regardless of children. When we get older in the future, we will have someone to care about, right?"
"How old are you, my husband? Why do you say such old-fashioned words?" Baochai was also a little moved. She leaned into Feng Ziying's arms and said leisurely: "It was only after I became pregnant that I realized that there are many things I value. It's not that important,
I even became a little sentimental and looked forward to my husband coming to sit in the house more often and talking to me."
Feng Ziying blinked, "Sister, are you still complaining about the absurdity of your husband before you became a husband?"
"No, in fact, Sister Shen, I, and Sister Lin are not very dissatisfied. They also understand the difficulties and hardships faced by my husband, but there are so many women in this house. If they don't do something, how can they convince the public? Second Sister You , the second sister, as well as Baoqin, Miaoyu and Xiuyan, they are thinking about it day and night at home, haven't we thought about this love for them?"
Baochai's sensible words made Feng Ziying feel a little embarrassed, and she nodded: "More good wives have reminded me, my husband has a lot of faults, and thanks to your constant advice, I have written them down." .”
"My husband is doing important things. The only thing I, Sister Shen and Sister Lin can do is to help my husband manage the back house well, without dragging down my husband or affecting my energy, so that my husband can concentrate on doing what he needs to do."
I just ask that while your husband is busy, you can also give some comfort to the women who miss your husband at home, not only his wives and concubines, but also the infatuated girls in the house..."
Baochai's gentle and calm words moved Feng Ziying even more. What he could say at this time was to solemnly nod his head to show his understanding.
