Since Baoyu mentioned it, Feng Ziying naturally couldn't pretend not to hear it. He guessed that this guy also wanted to find out some information from him.
This guy isn't stupid either. He should have guessed it a long time ago, but he just doesn't want to admit it in his heart.
Previously, I had no choice but to persuade Jia Zheng and his wife to prepare to take the fancy literati route and play in the elegant style of poetry and poetry, and then see if I could choose a suitable one among several princes' daughters.
Unexpectedly, Jia Yuanchun entered the palace and became a concubine. He immediately abolished his trick and gave the Jia family a little more confidence. They felt that their own family was the family of the father-in-law and uncle, so they had to choose a suitable one.
The family has come to marry a legitimate son.
"I'm afraid Sister Lin won't be able to come back for a while. Uncle Lin is in very bad health. Although he is fine for the time being, but..." Feng Ziying shook her head, "Fortunately, Brother Lian is there, he can do anything.
If you can carry it, you can pick it up even if there is something."
Baoyu's face was full of sorrow, "I don't know why Uncle Lin became like this all of a sudden? Isn't it said that the salt patrol censor is a relaxed and easy-going fat man?"
Feng Ziying was surprised and looked at Baoyu, "Baoyu, who told you that this salt patrol censor is easy to get rich?"
Baoyu was speechless and his face turned red. He didn't know how to answer for a while. After a while, he said: "I heard from the boys in the house that Uncle Lin, the salt patrol censor, has great power, and those rich people
All salt merchants who want to sell salt have to get salt from Uncle Lin, and they all have to pay money, and..."
Feng Ziying glanced at Baoyu. These words were obviously not something that a kid could say. They were either coming from the mouths of Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others, or they were leaked from daily conversations between Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng.
Jia Zheng was not so bad that Jia Baoyu heard about it.
It's just that everyone in Rongning's second house seemed to believe that Lin Ruhai would leave a large amount of money after his death. Although Jia Baoyu, who was unwilling to pursue an official career and economy, never cared much about money, he must have known that Lin Ruhai's death would leave Lin Daiyu alone.
As a woman, we can only rely on the Jia family. It seems natural that the Lin family's property should be controlled by the Jia family.
This thought should be present in everyone in Ning Rong's house. Even Jia Lian thought so even though he didn't say it. It was because Jia Lian had an unusual relationship with him that he vaguely reminded himself that if he wanted to marry Lin Daiyu, he would have to marry her.
Think about it early so that he, the ambassador of the aftermath, will not be caught in the middle and it will be difficult to deal with it in the future.
"Baoyu, Uncle Lin, the salt patrol censor, is indeed very powerful. You are right. Salt merchants have to get salt quotations from him before they can get salt to sell. But the money handed over does not belong to Uncle Lin.
It belongs to the imperial court, and there are many joints here. The Salt Patrol Censor has great power, but it is by no means easy. All kinds of up-and-down relationships need to be managed well. Maybe Uncle Lin has worked too hard and ended up like this.
..., Baoyu, you are still young, wait a few years, if you leave home and broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge, you will know that the world is not that simple..."
Feng Ziying "educated" Jia Baoyu with righteous words, serious words, and thoughtful words. Jia Baoyu quickly bowed and received the instruction, but it was unclear what he was thinking in his heart.
The meeting with Jia She and Jia Zheng was still in Rongxi Hall.
Compared with Jia Zheng's absent-mindedness, Jia She was uncharacteristically very enthusiastic.
"My dear nephew, you are well-known in the capital now. I met Ma Shang the day before yesterday, and he was very affectionate to me. He always gave me a thumbs up when talking about it." Jia She's face was full of enthusiasm.
Almost the whole family was implicated. Shi Guangzhu was deprived of the title of Xi, and several of his direct descendants were imprisoned. It was said that there were many implicates. Long Jinwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already transferred the case to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
It seems that we may need to have the three justices examine the matter. This is the first prince whose family has been confiscated and exterminated since the founding of the Zhou dynasty."
Seeing Jia She's attitude, Feng Ziying was also a little curious. This guy seemed to be a bit gloating about his misfortune, but not entirely. Like the ruler of the country, he kept jumping up and down to promote and say good things to the other party. Of course, this was for the sake of money.
For his own sake, he probably felt that the Shi family couldn't get involved, so he just watched the fun.
"Uncle Shi, there are some differences between the Shi family and the Ma family. Many people in the Shi family participated in the corruption, and almost everyone made money from it, which caused huge hidden dangers to the defense of the Nine Borders. The court may have to ask for help before and after the Ningxia rebellion.
Spending millions of taels of silver cannot be said to be all Shi Guangjue's responsibility, but there is no doubt that he is the culprit. This kind of thing is like walking at night for a long time and you will encounter ghosts. You think you can get away with it, but you don't know that Skynet is still there
Careful and careful,..., Moreover, the Shi family dragged Yun Guang, the governor of Shaanxi, into the water. Uncle She Shi, you should understand that Yun Guang is a civil servant. This has almost angered the entire civil servants in the court. No one will help.
The Shi family is talking..."
Feng Ziying was also reminding the other party.
This Jia She was not a good person either. He had close contacts with Ping'an Prefecture in Datong Town, and it seemed that Sun Shaozu, the Zhongshan wolf mentioned in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", got in touch with him. Jia Lian was frightened because of this, so he went south to Yangzhou this time.
, Jia Lian did not refuse at all, and there were some reasons for this.
This is also a potential threat. Although it is not clear what they are doing, it is nothing more than colluding with those Shanxi merchants to sell prohibited materials on the grassland, such as weapons, tea, salt, etc.
It's just that although Datong Town is the base camp of the Feng family, Ping'an Prefecture is located in a corner of Ji Town, just opposite Lindan Batur's Mongolian right-wing Chahar tribe.
Sun Shaozu does have some brute strength, and he is very good at pleasing his superiors, so he is now a very conspicuous figure in Datong Town. Even if he does some things, he can hide them. In addition, it turns out that Wang Ziteng is the governor of Xuanda, and now
It was Niu Jizong who took over, so it was not his family's turn to worry about it.
"Although it seems that only Ma Xia and some other descendants of the Ma family are involved, Uncle Shi, this matter is not over yet. It is said that Ma Xia is still biting in prison. Well, he will admit it at one moment and admit it at another moment.
He denied it and then falsely accused others. Ma Shang and several other members of the Ma clan were all described in a filthy manner by him. Some of the plots were simply unpalatable. Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not have much interference now, Long Jinwei and
Who can shut up the mouth of an old official in the Ministry of Justice? Once word spreads, the Metropolitan Procuratorate may cause trouble for the Ma family again..."
It was originally a good intention to remind Jia She not to open his mouth too wide and to take a bite of whatever he ate, but unexpectedly Jia She became excited.
"Good nephew, is this true? Haha, no wonder Ma Shang is begging for mercy in front of me. It seems that the Ma family is still involved. Hum, next time he comes to visit me, I will have to talk to him.
explain,……"
Feng Ziying sighed. Faced with such a guy who cares about money rather than his life, Feng Ziying really didn't know how the Jia family had been living together for so many years without any trouble. She even reminded him so obviously, but this guy still expected it.
Maybe I can squeeze some money from Ma Shang.
After talking to Jia She for a while, Feng Ziying realized that Jia Zheng seemed to be a little restless and didn't talk much, which was very different from usual. It's just that Jia She was talking enthusiastically now, and Feng Ziying couldn't change the subject.
After finally waiting for Jia She to take a breath, Feng Ziying asked with a smile: "Uncle Zheng Shi, are you busy with affairs at the Ministry of Industry?"
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Jia Zheng woke up from his dream and responded hurriedly.
Feng Ziying was a little strange, why was this uncle Zheng Shi so unconscious?
Jia Zheng didn't sleep well yesterday because he received a letter from the palace.
The letter was brought by Yuanchun's personal maid Baoqin, and it was just a verbal message.
The words were very vague, just saying that the emperor did not like being too ostentatious when he entered the palace, so he asked the family to keep to themselves, not to have too much contact with outsiders, and not to be too prominent, but if you are a scholar, you might as well interact with him more.
No matter how stupid Jia Zheng was, he realized something. He didn't even write a letter, but directly asked his personal maid to deliver the oral message, and it was so vague.
Jia Zheng himself was not very sensitive, so he naturally felt that he was confused and didn't know what the meaning was. However, he couldn't say this to outsiders. The couple spent the whole night discussing it in bed, but they couldn't get it.
Come to a conclusion.
If his brother is like this, he would never dare to tell the other party, but the Wang family can do it. However, Jia Zheng is also a little worried about whether the outside mentioned in Yuanchun's letter may vaguely include the Wang family, so he is also a little undecided.
.
The person in front of me is an easy person to talk to, but the relationship between the two parties has not reached that stage, and they dare not reveal such important things at will.
Thinking of this, Jia Zheng felt a headache. It would be great if Yuanchun could leave the palace and come home. He didn't dare to speak too clearly if he asked the maid to take the message. It was even easier to leave clues when writing letters.
Seeing that Jia Zheng was absent-minded, Feng Ziying also felt bored. After talking for a while, she said that she would pay a visit to the old lady and the meeting would be over.
Seeing Baoyu accompanying Feng Ziying and disappearing outside the Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng was also worried.
I don’t know what the eldest girl meant when she said that she might as well interact with scholars more often. There just weren’t many scholars in the Jia family. Except for Feng Ziying, which other family of scholars would be like her, who was not good at studying and was declining day by day?
Make friends with the Wu Xun family?
Although the eldest girl has now entered the palace, there are only four of them in the group. There are also rumors that the emperor has long given up on women and sincerely practices Taoism. I don’t know what is the point of conferring concubines on a large scale?
Yesterday I asked Baoqin how Yuanchun was doing in the palace. Although Baoqin said everything was fine, he didn't have much else to say.
This made both Jia Zheng and his wife feel that their daughter's trip to the palace might not be as wonderful as they imagined. No wonder my brother-in-law shook his head and sighed when he mentioned it yesterday, but he didn't realize it at the time.
