The treasure hairpin is like being immersed in an ice cellar.
Shi Xiangyun?!
What does the old lady mean?!
No wonder Shi Xiangyun wanted to go to Yangzhou with Feng Lang so actively. It turned out that he was waiting for such an excuse!
For a time, Baochai's inner resentment almost poured out. Could it be that Feng Lang was deceiving him? He wanted to marry Daiyu and Xiangyun so that he could have a second and third marriage?
But if that's the case, why would he tease himself and say such sweet words to himself? Isn't it just humiliating himself and teasing himself?
No, no, Feng Lang is not that kind of person, and there is absolutely no need for him to do that.
Baochai's mood gradually calmed down. Recalling the scene with Feng Lang in her boudoir before leaving, Baochai's mood slowly calmed down and she shook her head. She didn't believe it.
Baochai still knew what kind of person Feng Ziying was. It was inevitable for this man to steal fragrance and jade. The key lies in the big details.
No matter the small details, no compromise on the big ones, this is Baochai's standard of conduct for his men, and Feng Ziying is undoubtedly worthy of it.
It's like a comb with fragrant water chestnuts and golden hairpins. In Baochai's opinion, it doesn't even count as a detail, it's just normal.
Even in Ma Xiang Hutong, the two younger sisters of the Dongfu You family are kept as maids, so what?
Who doesn't like a beautiful woman among the vigorous men? It is their blessing that Xiangling and Jinchai have such an ending. Baochai is only happy and has no other emotions.
The You sisters met Feng Lang when he was on an expedition to counter the rebellion. They were pursuing a better life, but Baochai didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Whether it was an outside wife or a concubine, it didn't matter to the overall situation.
But if you deliberately deceive about important matters about marriage, it is not deceiving the relationship, but it is damaging a person's reputation and happiness throughout his life. That is another matter.
From what she learned about Feng Lang's attitude towards Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Daiyu, herself, Tan Chun, Xiang Yun and others, it can be seen that Feng Lang has never been anything strange or anything.
When it comes to what you say, you should be open-minded about what you want and what you want to do. When it comes to what you don't want and can't do, you should also have a clear attitude and never be vague.
Thinking of this, Baochai's mind became clearer.
"Brother, it's better not to listen to these gossips." Baochai's tone became calmer, "I'm afraid that Brother Feng's marriage is not something that just anyone can interfere with. My brother also understands Brother Feng's temperament. It's just an ordinary matter, but
If it is such an important matter of marriage, a few gossips from outsiders are nothing more than some foolish thoughts... how can they move his mind?..."
I originally wanted to say "wishful thinking", but it can be seen that Baochai was indeed very angry by such things, but she still couldn't say such vicious words, so she took it back after she said it, and changed it to a more tactful one.
words.
Xue Pan calmed down, then looked at Xue Baochai, whose expression had calmed down, and said hesitantly: "In my sister's opinion, it's not a problem?"
"It's okay." Baochai said calmly and firmly.
"But why do you say such words? I don't think that Brother Qiang meant to deceive me. I don't think he has the courage..." Xue Pan was still a little persistent.
Baochai couldn't think of any mystery here for a while.
Did Shi Xiangyun really fall in love with Feng Lang?
This possibility is not impossible. There are many people in the Jia family who are interested in Feng Lang. Except for herself and Daiyu, at least she knows that Tan Yatou is interested in Feng Lang.
Shi Xiangyun didn't notice it, but this girl seemed to be bold, but she hid her feelings and thoughts behind her boldness. Most people couldn't detect it, but she couldn't hide it from Baochai. At least Shi Xiangyun had a good impression of Feng Lang.
There must be some reason for these words to come out in this house, but I don’t know who it is and what their motives are for saying such words.
Since she fell in love with Feng Ziying, Baochai rarely went to Jia's house, just to avoid causing gossip among the melons and plums, especially since Baoyu often came here to be obsessed with her. Fortunately, during this year, Baoyu spent a lot of time wandering outside.
It's a little better, so it makes Lixiangyuan a lot quieter.
My mother is also a carefree person, so I can't get a lot of information like this. I rely on Ying'er to go there to find out, but I can't get some deeper information.
"Well, now that the matter of Ziying marrying the sister of the Lin family has been made clear, what about the matter with the sister?"
I think my sister should be more vigilant and not be careless and lose Jingzhou."
Baochai was also a little amused when he heard that his brother actually said such a clichéd operatic phrase as "careless and lose Jingzhou". It can be seen that running around in the theater of Daguan Tower all day long is not without improvement.
However, Baochai was still very grateful for her brother's kindness. "My sister also remembered what my brother said."
It should be said that what my brother said is not bad. If Shi Xiangyun really has this intention, he may not have no chance.
If the old lady tries to lose her face and wants to secure a happy marriage for herself, the grand-niece of a historian, the Feng family and even Feng Lang may have to think about it, but Feng Lang is not an ordinary person.
"Forget it, I'm going to Feng Mansion again tonight to listen to Ziying's opinion first. I, Xue Wenlong, can tolerate and give in to everything else, but I can't tolerate it, except for my sister.

"Well done!"
King Zhongshun was like a lion in heat, pacing back and forth in the flower hall, his hands moved from behind his back to in front of him, waving violently, "I didn't expect that, Ziying, you are really the emperor's brother.
A lucky general is also a lonely lucky star."
"My lord, you are too flattering." Feng Ziying smiled lightly.
"Hey, what does Gu have to say? I don't like being modest and reserved. You did a great job. To be honest, I thought there would be a good result before, but I didn't expect it to be far beyond Gu's expectation. If
If the household department opens an account in the bank, just from these few benefits and retains 30% of the silver taels in the bank, then our bank is equivalent to having a guarantee of 1.5 million taels, which is so important."
It has to be said that Prince Zhongshun has a more farsighted view on the prospects of Haitong Silver Village than those in the cabinet. Perhaps because there is no hope for the throne, this prince puts more thoughts on making a living.
After Feng Ziying introduced the bank's business model to him, he spent a lot of time thinking about it, so his discussions with Feng Ziying became more and more in-depth.
It even gave Feng Ziying the feeling that this guy's understanding of Yinzhuang was far beyond that of other people of this era, and even some modern ordinary people.
"Your Majesty, this is only temporary. Considering the situation of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I don't think the 1.5 million in cash at the bottom of the box can be kept for long." Feng Ziying smiled, "Of course, I agree with Your Majesty's point of view. This is not important.
As long as the people can believe that most of the silver taels in the household department are transferred through Haitong Bank, that will be enough. This impression is more important than the usual one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"Yes, but Ziying, please don't be humble. This is what you told me, not my opinion." King Zhongshun waved his hand disapprovingly, "I don't have the habit of embezzling good ideas from others. If you do it, you can do it.
If you can't do it, you can't do it. I think I have some knowledge in this area, but compared to you, I'm still far behind, but I am willing to learn."
Feng Ziying still admires the magnanimity of this loyal and shun king. Compared with the original book of "Dream of Red Mansions", which is unclear in terms of words and ink, the impression of this loyal and shun king on Feng Ziying, who she has actually met twice, is much better than that of this era.
Many clan princes are too powerful, and their ability to accept new things is really not bad.
"Your Majesty, you are humbled." Feng Ziying knew what King Zhongshun was thinking, "Your Majesty, this trip to Yangzhou has basically achieved its purpose, but you also know that the previous few tasks are important matters for the court, and the emperor and the cabinet are watching, so first
We have to deal with those few things, but dealing with these first few things can also be regarded as laying the foundation for Yinzhuang's affairs. In this way, Yinzhuang's affairs are more secure. I don't know that the prince is here.
How many have you discussed?"
"Hey, Ziying, Gu has really been busy these few months since you left. But due to his status, Gu can't find anyone at will. But at least in the clan, Gu has found many people who are close to him.
Some people who didn’t have much contact with each other before, and who were down and out, came to our door. They didn’t refuse anyone who came, and as long as they had money, they were easy to talk to..."
This was also Feng Ziying's advice to King Zhongshun.
The best targets for shareholders of Yinzhuang are two types, one is wealthy businessmen, and the other is clan princes.
These two types of people cannot directly intervene in the affairs of the court, so they do not need to worry about the interference of the censors. However, they can exert unique influence in various fields and have the potential to influence the direction of certain things far better than the civil servants.
A shareholder of Military General Development.
And neither the merchants nor the clan were short of money. Of course, they also wanted to make more money. King Zhongshun did not hesitate to invest in it. Its driving role can be imagined, and it was under the guise of opening up the court.
There is a saying that something can be done in the strategy of the sea.
"Your Majesty, in business, this doesn't matter. As long as you are willing to participate in the stock market, as long as you are willing to obey the rules of the bank, it is not a problem." Feng Ziying smiled, "You might as well frankly explain the future operation model of the bank and the
They introduced it and understood how the operation of Yinzhuang makes money, as well as the advantages of Haitong Yinzhuang as the first one and ours. I think this can be regarded as them accumulating an asset for themselves that is much more meaningful and valuable than a farm shop.
That is the best property to leave to your second son, concubine, concubine, or wife."
Feng Ziying's words made King Zhongshun laugh, but after laughing, he really felt that this was what happened. It was not as conspicuous as a real estate shop, and the annual dividends and interest were so low-key that the tigresses at home didn't expect to find out.
