Feng Ziying didn't talk much about Jia Jing's issue, because Jia Zhen obviously didn't know much about his father's plans and thoughts, so he only said that Jia Jing had reached an agreement and would not return to Beijing for the time being.
I have to say that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, the father and son, made Jia Jing very disappointed. Jia Jing never disclosed many things to the father and son, which shows that he is not at ease with his children and grandchildren.
Perhaps as Jia Jing himself said, keeping them unaware of many things is actually a kind of protection for them, which can prevent them from getting involved in unnecessary troubles. They do not have the ability to deal with these troubles and solve problems.
Of course, in order to pacify everyone in the Jia family, Feng Ziying also told everyone that Jia Jing was fine and had been pardoned. He was just staying in Jiangnan temporarily to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Feng Ziying did not lie. Jia Jing was very disappointed with the performance of Prince Yi Zhong, or Emperor Wan Tong. Because of this, he had other plans early on.
In Jia Jing's view, Emperor Wan Tong's poor performance in just trying to keep his line of throne will definitely be firmly suppressed by the civil servants and never have a chance to turn around.
Under such circumstances, choosing the side of Emperor Wan Tong would be asking for trouble, so he categorically rejected Emperor Wan Tong's solicitation after he ascended the throne, saying that he no longer cared about state affairs and just wanted to be free and spend the rest of his life leisurely.
However, after Feng Ziying had an in-depth talk with him, Jia Jing's tone softened slightly.
Feng Ziying hoped that Jia Jing could help him sort out some of his connections in Jiangnan, especially the connections among the gentry in the inland areas to the south and west and in Jiangxi.
The merchant groups that Feng Ziying was familiar with were mainly concentrated along the river and the sea, and he was not so familiar with inland areas such as Jiangxi and South Zhili.
Jia Jing followed Prince Yi Zhong and worked hard in Jiangnan for many years, and was especially familiar with the connections in Jiangxi. Feng Ziying hoped that he could use his remaining energy, and the reason and condition he gave was that he would help the Jia family slowly recover and let the Jia family regain their strength.
The Jia family will not completely fall to the bottom.
In Feng Ziying's view, this is a united front strategy, using all resources that can be used for one's own use.
No matter what happened in the past, even Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong themselves can find some points of agreement, so why can't Jia Jing join hands?
After negotiating with Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, Feng Ziying naturally went to Jia Mu's yard to visit the female relatives.
Needless to say, Jia Mu, Wang is about to become her future mother-in-law. If concubine can be considered a "wife", she is also Tanchun's aunt, not to mention Yuanchun.
Xing is also Yingchun’s aunt.
There are also Li Wan and Youshi.
We met Li Wan twice a year ago, one was to have a good time to comfort her lovesickness, and the other was to meet her two cousins.
However, Li Min and Li Qi were very surprised that their cousin seemed to be younger and more enchanting than a few years ago.
Especially the cosmetics and rouge powder, etc., they are not cheap at first glance, but isn't the Jia family in need now and relies on the Feng family for relief?
Under such circumstances, we need to restrain ourselves no matter what, so as not to cause criticism, right?
They also felt that their cousin was in a very good mood, and she seemed to be looking forward to life, which was completely different from the languid look she had a few years ago.
Is it really because Lange'er passed the scholar examination that she suddenly regained her youth?
Li Min and Li Qi even mentioned this strange change to Feng Ziying, which puzzled them and made Feng Ziying feel guilty.
I wonder what they will do if one day they find out that they have been the guests of their cousin who has been chaste for many years. Will their image collapse suddenly?
Therefore, the relationship between Feng Ziying and Li Wan became increasingly cold and calm in person.
Exploring spring, cherishing spring, and Xiangyun are not here.
After all, they were getting married, so when facing their fiancé, they had to avoid it publicly, at least publicly. However, after the elders left the scene, meeting them in private was not as rigid as they imagined.
In addition to informing Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen about the things that have been agreed upon, this group of people also inevitably asked about some situations in Jiangnan, and Feng Ziying also answered them one by one.
Of course, the more important thing is Baoyu's "work arrangement".
It's not that easy to get into the Hanlin Academy, but Guan Yingzhen is already a minister of the Ministry of Rites, so it's safe to arrange for Feng Ziying, who is a ninth-rank official.
Solve a feud first, and then transfer to the Hanlin Academy. In fact, it is a routine operation.
Before Feng Ziying went to Jiangnan, Feng Ziying asked Guan Yingzhen to take advantage of Emperor Wantong's accession to the throne to resolve the debts of some wealthy officials' children and eliminate Jia Baoyu.
Now it has been put on hold for a few more months, until the situation has calmed down, and then quietly cramming people into the Hanlin Academy will not cause much commotion.
Those who really received the tribute are those who are looking forward to being sent out to serve as officials, looking forward to promotion and making money, at least they are all from the seventh rank.
People like the Hanlin Academy who are waiting for imperial edicts are only from the ninth rank, which can be said to be the lowest among the lowest. Moreover, it is Qingshui Yamen, with a low official rank, but after all, they are officials and not officials. What Jia Baoyu and the Jia family value most is this halo.
, different from what others expected.
Feng Ziying's opinion is to wait until after the Spring Festival Competition and then find an opportunity to insert Jia Baoyu into it.
After hearing this accurate news, everyone in the Jia family was extremely grateful.
Jia Baoyu's affairs have become a demonic obstacle to the Jia family. If Jia Baoyu's affairs are not properly arranged, in Jia's mother's words, she will never rest in peace.
The marriage between Jia Baoyu and Niu is also lukewarm now. Niu has been arguing with her parents every few days, causing Jia Baoyu to be disturbed and almost want to divorce.
Of course, this is just talk. The fact that Jia Lian and Li broke out in the Jia family is already a laughing stock. If Jia Baoyu wants to reconcile again, the sky will really fall.
However, Feng Ziying feels that the Jia family has not changed their mentality. Is the Jia family now still the Jia family at the time of Rong Ning's second mansion?
How can there be any reputation or prestige? Even daily expenses must be financed by the Feng family. Do you still need to consider these things?
There are so many aristocratic families in the capital that have come to an end over time.
Aren't the four kings also so gloomy, the Hachigong family is like the Shi family, and the Ma family has long since disappeared into thin air and has become abject poverty.
There is no need to say more about Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Cong. Everything was planned by Feng Ziying.
It's just that Jia Cong is a little more troublesome, and we have to wait until Jia She's problem is solved. Fortunately, Jia Cong is still young, so he doesn't have to worry too much about this, and he still has time.
After we finished talking, it was time for lunch, so naturally we had to save food.
I spent the morning talking to my elders, and after lunch I inevitably had to talk to my peers, which was also an instruction to them.
"There is no need to be anxious about Baoyu. During this period of time, he is cultivating his mind and character in his mansion. He has read more collections of classics and history, entered the Hanlin Academy, and learned more from his colleagues. Moreover, after the Spring Festival Competition, Xinke Sandingjia and the Shujishi also
Everyone comes in to observe the government, and you can also communicate with them well..."
"Brother Huan, it's a good time to study. Don't think that passing the exam means you are arrogant. There is still a long way to go. Spring and Autumn are two different things. I think you may not be able to do it in this subject. I think it is still possible in the next serious subject.
It’s bigger.”
"Brother Lan and Brother Cong should not be discouraged. This subject is an encyclopedia, and the next subject is a serious subject. Study hard. There are roads in the mountains of learning, and diligence is the path. There is no limit to the sea of learning and hard work. You will realize it for yourself...
………
After many reminders, several of the Jia family's nephews and nephews were filled with gratitude.
The relationship between Jia Huan and Jia Huan is unusual, so naturally they want to meet each other alone.
"You want to leave the Jia family?" Feng Ziying frowned.
"Brother Feng, I actually had this idea for a long time, before anything happened at home, but then the situation changed so fast that I had no room for resistance at all, so I could only passively get involved, and the result was like this
, I feel really unwilling."
Jia Huan has a bit more calm demeanor than before. After all, he is still an eighteen-year-old young man, but there is still a bit of stubbornness and gloominess in his eyes.
"The Jia family has become like this now. If you leave, you will get some unnecessary reputation. Have you ever thought about it?"
Feng Ziying looked at Jia Huan.
"So what? I don't care about this anymore. I
What have you gained in these years in the Jia family? Now isn’t the second brother Bao going to the Hanlin Academy? Now he will be able to stand out, and there is no need for me, a concubine, to honor the ancestors of the Jia family, right? "
Jia Huan's words were a bit more teasing and disdainful, and the chuckle at the corner of his mouth revealed his true inner thoughts.
If it weren't for Brother Feng's support, would Baoyu be able to enter the Hanlin Academy?
What if you enter the Hanlin Academy?
Jia Huan even thought it was a joke.
I don’t know what the people in the family think. When entering the Hanlin Academy, you have to go in openly and openly like Brother Feng and come out openly. Only in that way can you honor your ancestors.
Being so sneaky and relying on gratitude to get in through the back door is an unfashionable way and will only lead to ridicule.
Hearing the anger in Jia Huan's words, Feng Ziying also felt that it was a bit difficult to handle. The third child of Huan Huan had such an extreme character. Although he had changed a lot with age in the past two years, his nature was easy to change and hard to change. For Jia Huan, it was hard to change his nature.
The grievances at home are getting deeper and deeper.
"Brother Huan, as a scholar, you still have to pay attention to your reputation. You need to pay more attention to filial piety. And your mother will definitely not leave the Jia family. How are you doing?" Feng Ziying was talking about Jia Huan's biological mother, Aunt Zhao.
Not the Wang family.
Jia Huan also understood, with a look of hesitation on his face, "The third sister married Brother Feng, and the third sister can also take care of her in the future..."
"Nonsense, your third sister is your third sister, you are you!" Feng Ziying's face darkened. "In this case, if you pass the imperial examination today, needless to say, I cannot agree to your leaving home. That will only give others a handle. Of course,
That's another way of saying that you want to go out to study. If you don't pass the exam, you said you want to travel and study. I can agree with this. By then your third sister has passed the exam, and it will be convenient to go back to Jia's house..."
