Seeing Yuanyang's expression, Feng Ziying could roughly guess something.
Before Yuanyang and Jia Qi could speak, Feng Ziying said again: "Fourth Master Qi, my father, Uncle Shishi, and Uncle Zhengshi are all family friends. Second brother Lian, Baoyu, and I are also familiar with each other, so we are all familiar with each other." The old lady is also walking around a lot, so this Yuanyang girl is familiar with her."
So this is the case, Jia Qi is still happy in his heart. No matter what, if this Feng Xiuzhan comes to Jia's house today, it will spread all over Jinling City tomorrow. Maybe he will go to other houses, but first It is our Jia family who is here.
"Haha, it's great that Mr. Feng is so familiar with our Jia family. I also said why Yuanyang was so happy when the previous post was sent. It turns out there is such a connection."
Jia Qi is also a sensible person. Yuanyang's parents are guarding the house here. He also knows that Yuanyang is working as a maid beside the old lady, but he doesn't know that Yuanyang's reputation is so big, and even Mr. Feng thinks so highly of her.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it shouldn't be just because of the old lady. The closeness between the two made Jia Qi feel a little surprised, but he didn't know the story here.
Jia Qi's words made Yuanyang's face become hot again. When had he been happy?
But I just felt that it was a bit unexpected to meet an acquaintance when I returned to Jinling. Well, of course I was a little happy, but how could it be as explicit as Fourth Master Qi said?
Especially when he saw Jia Qi's meaningful gaze, Yuanyang felt even more embarrassed. After putting down the tea, he felt blessed and said, "Uncle Feng, you and Fourth Master Qi have tea. I'll go down first."
After saying that, Yuanyang turned around and left Nana.
Seeing Feng Ziying's eyes following Yuanyang's figure, Jia Qi also felt funny.
That's not the case. Mr. Feng heard that his father was still a military officer, and he was also a military officer. He had such a powerful family, so why did he have such an attitude towards a girl?
"Master Feng, please have some tea."
Being awakened by Jia Qi's words, Feng Ziying quickly picked up the tea cup with some embarrassment, took a sip and praised: "Good tea."
"It's this year's tongue." Jia Qi was quite proud, "It was sent from Changzhou Prefecture."
Feng Ziying also knows that tea tasting is very popular in the south of the Yangtze River.
Fujian, Zhejiang, southern Zhili and even Jiangxi produce good teas, which are competing for their beauty and beauty. Scholars especially like it. The saying "tea and wine compete for fashion" is now quite popular in Jiangnan.
I really don't have much in common with Jia Qi.
This guy is also the one who guards the house for the Rong Ning family in Jinling.
Although it has been decades since the Rong Ning family moved to the capital, there are still some side members of the Jia family in Jinling, and Jia Qi is also the taller among the short ones.
Now Jia She and Jia Zheng have asked him to manage some affairs here. The main purpose is to understand the situation here and send letters to Beijing in time if there is any situation.
By the way, he was also asked to collect the profits from the shop here and Zhuangzi, and then send them to the capital.
In addition, I will also help those of the Jia clan here who can read or who can't survive, so as not to ruin the Jia family's reputation.
Compared with one or two decades ago, Laosi everyone has become bleak. Feng Ziying also asked about the situation of other companies.
Jia Qi was very familiar with these situations and explained them one by one.
There are not many people in the Wang family here in Jinling.
The eldest son of the Wang family, Wang Xifeng's father, Wang Ziteng, and Wang Zisheng's brother, have died long ago.
Wang Zisheng also entered the capital as early as when Wang Ziteng was serving as the governor of the Beijing camp, and lived with Wang Ziteng.
Here in the Wang family, only one of Wang Xifeng's older brothers, Wang Ren, is left in Jinling. It is said that he is also making trouble now and is obsessed with going to Beijing to enjoy wealth with his uncle.
There are not many people in the Shi family in Jinling anymore.
The two brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding are both in the capital. One is a Marquis of Baoling, the other is a Marquis of Zhongjing, and the other is a Double Marquis. Although they are not as good as the two Dukes of Rongning back then, they can still be considered the current marquises.
It's just that although the title of this kind of marquis is high, compared with the false titles of General Shenwu, it only has one or two more villages, which means that you have a fief.
Just like the Marquis of Hulun who can succeed Feng Ziying as the eldest son in the future, it has little substantive significance.
Others, namely some distant relatives of the historians, are still living in Jinling, and few of them are promising.
However, there are still people from the Xue family in Jinling.
Feng Ziying then remembered that Xue Jun's widow and Xue Baoqin should still be living in Jinling. However, she had never thought about how long she would stay in Jinling before going south, so she didn't think too much about it.
But now it seems that in addition to the Jia family, I should also go to the Xue family for a visit. As for the Wang family and the Shi family, sending a gift and a post will be considered as a sign of appreciation.
While chatting, Feng Ziying asked why Yuanyang came back from the capital city.
Jia Qi also mentioned that Yuanyang's parents had been guarding the house in Jinling. The month before last, his mother was seriously ill, so he sent a letter back. Yuanyang was worried, so he took leave and came back.
It should be a few days later than when Feng Ziying and others went south, but Feng Ziying and others stayed in Yangzhou for several days, but Yuanyang went back to Jinling directly, so he arrived in Jinling before Feng Ziying and others.
Hearing that Yuanyang also rushed back because her family was seriously ill, Feng Ziying admired this woman's filial piety. If it were anyone else, she might not be willing to leave Jia Mu's side so easily.
You must know that as Yuanyang himself said, Amber is not a simple person. In terms of shrewdness and intelligence, he is not much inferior to Yuanyang, and he is also very favored by Jia Mu.
Yuanyang will be gone for at least a month or two. Who can say that Amber has no intention of "seizing power"?
After returning, the order was reversed, which is normal.
"Oh? Yuanyang's mother is seriously ill, is she well now?" Feng Ziying asked casually.
This was normal at first, but it changed the taste in Jia Qi's ears.
In Jia Qi's opinion, you, a dignified editor of the Imperial Academy of Zhou Dynasty, went south on business under the emperor's orders and visited Jia's house, and you actually care about the health of a girl's mother. Isn't this a bit too strong?
It's just that although Jia Qi has no other abilities, he does have the ability to observe people's emotions and make decisions according to the situation. Otherwise, Jia Sheng and Jia Zheng would not be able to let him run the business here.
Seeing Feng Ziying's concern, Jia Qi also smiled and replied: "I have been recovering for some time, and I am much better, but I am a little older, and have been ill for a long time, and my vitality has been damaged, so I have to take care of myself slowly. …”
Feng Ziying nodded thoughtfully.
When she was leaving, she saw Yuanyang, an old man dressed as a servant and several other distinguished housekeepers and servants following Jia Qi to see off the guests. Feng Ziying nodded and said, "Yuanyang, is your mother feeling better?"
Yuanyang's face turned red, but in front of so many people, he couldn't say much. He could only nod his head and said: "Thank you, Uncle Feng, for caring about me. My mother has gotten better. She will be fine after a while."
Feng Ziying waved her hand, and Ruixiang, who was standing beside the carriage, trotted over.
Feng Ziying said a few words to him, and Ruixiang hurriedly ran to the carriage, got on the carriage, found two boxes, carried them down, and handed them to Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying took a step forward without saying much: "Come on, Yuanyang, here are two old Liaodong ginseng plants and a piece of deer antler. Since your mother has been ill for a long time and needs to be raised, I will take these to your mother. As for the details, How to use it, I have to consult with the doctor."
A group of people were stunned by Feng Ziying's actions. Even Jia Qi had doubted whether Feng Ziying and Yuanyang had an affair, but they were still shocked when they saw this scene.
A maid, no matter how favored she is in the Jia family, cannot afford to be like this, right?
Everyone around was in an uproar. Even Yuanyang's father, Jin Cai, was surprised and happy. When did his girl become so famous? How could she be worthy of the favor of an official?
Yuanyang's face turned red even more, but her heart was filled with embarrassment and nervousness, as well as a little bit of pride and love.
It's just that she can't afford this kind of thing.
"Uncle Feng, how did this happen? Take it back quickly. My mother will be able to recover after a period of rest..."
"Yuanyang, can I still take back what I took out? It was originally a gift prepared for visiting several families. It was just right. Since your mother is not in good health, these medicinal materials are just right. Find a better one. My doctor will co-prescribe a prescription that will help your mother recover as soon as possible... Take it, don't make me angry!"
Seeing Yuanyang's face flushed, her eyes blurry, and her hands twisting the sweat towel almost out of water, Feng Ziying also knew that her mother's condition was indeed serious and needed to be taken care of, so this thing was probably the right thing to do. .
Feng Ziying's guess was correct. Yuanyang's mother was ill in bed and had her menstruation. She finally got through it, but she was very weak.
The doctor who invited me also said that I can only take care of it carefully. It is best to have some old ginseng and other great tonics, make a soup, and slowly adjust the tonic.
It's just that the price of this rising mountain ginseng in Jiangnan is not only extremely high, but also the most important thing is that it is difficult to find. Even if it is available, the price is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After Yuanyang returned to Jinling, he also inquired about it. Generally, wild ginseng that is ten years old often costs dozens of taels. If it is more than thirty years old, it costs more than a hundred taels of silver, and it is also very easy to be deceived.
Wild ginseng that is more than fifty years old is kept by wealthy people. Even if it is available in the drug store, it is not affordable for one's own house.
Feng Ziying also knew her state of mind at this time, so she smiled and said: "If you feel that you have been greatly favored by me, remember that when you return to Beijing in the future, I will come to your house and bring you a cup of the old lady's good tea.
,…”
Taking a deep breath to let the undulating exquisite mountains calm down, Yuanyang took a step forward, deeply blessed, and said in a low voice: "I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I can only wish Uncle Feng here."
This trip has been smooth sailing, and after returning to Beijing, I will come back to express my thanks."
Waving her hand, Feng Ziying put the two brocade boxes in Yuanyang's hands, "It's boring to talk about this. It's rare for you to serve your mother so well. Your filial piety is rare. I think highly of it."
After saying that, Feng Ziying waved her hand, greeted Ruixiang to get in the car and left gracefully.
The mandarin duck holding the brocade box looked at the carriage going away, but his eyes were already red.
