Seeing that the spring break was over, Feng Ziying knew that she, like other Jinshis in the fifth year of Yonglong, was about to face the election of officials after the third year of Jinshi.
When I went to the Hanlin Academy on the 11th, I felt a little restless inside. The exchanges between the classmates on the 1231st and 12th classes suddenly became closer, and everyone was discussing their respective destinations.
Until the last moment, no one knows where they are going. This will have to wait until the Spring Festival in the eighth year of Yonglong to be settled.
After a vigorous sprint with a gun in hand and a horse in hand, Feng Ziying got off Sanjie You's white and plump body and leaned comfortably on the cushion next to her.
Second sister You next to her had already leaned over and lay down next to her, tucking the brocade quilt in by the way.
“Sister Tiangui is here again.” Second Sister You said softly.
Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the sister You Erjie was referring to was Shen Yixiu.
From the first day Shen Yixiu married into the Feng family, the Duans and the Duans were looking forward to Shen Yixiu's early pregnancy. During that month, Feng Ziying basically rested in Shen Yixiu's house and worked hard.
Unfortunately, Shen Yixiu came to Tiangui in the middle of last month, so that's it. It's coming again this month. I guess I will be disappointed again if I know it.
Sisters You are also concerned about Shen Yixiu's belly.
Since the eldest woman is not pregnant, the two sisters can only wait. If they want to go to bed, they have to think of ways or wrong time to prevent pregnancy.
Sanjie You was also rustling in bed and tidying up, then she came over and leaned against Feng Ziying.
“It’s not urgent.” Feng Ziying said she was not in a hurry, but she knew that Sister You was anxious, and of course Shen Yixiu was also anxious.
However, this kind of thing does not happen in a hurry. She has worked very hard, and Shen Yixiu has also changed from being shy at first to actively catering to her now. The pressure from her mother-in-law has also brought a lot of ideological burden to her.
Unlike Second Sister You, who thinks about this kind of thing all day long, Third Sister You, although she is much better in bed than she was at the beginning, she doesn't care much about these things, "Master, during March you Are you going somewhere?"
“Well, if there is no accident, that will be the case.” Feng Ziying did not hide this from her family. Shen Yixiu and Eryou both knew about it, but there was no clear explanation as to where they were going.
Feng Ziying prefers to stay in the north, but Guan Yingzhen hopes that Feng Ziying can go to several big cities in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Yangzhou, Songjiang, Ningbo, Suzhou and Hangzhou, which are wealthy prefectures.
The reason why Guan Yingzhen was arrested is also very simple and practical.
Feng Ziying is too young, too inexperienced, and is well-known for proposing the strategy of opening up the sea, and she has a good grasp of economic strategies. So all the mansions in the south of the Yangtze River are economically prosperous, and they are also the imperial tax administrations. If she can
By taking office in these prefectures, we will definitely be able to make some achievements according to local conditions.
Once three years are up, as long as you get the best result in the capital inspection, you can consider returning to the capital. At the worst, you can be promoted to the next level to take charge of a government. And taking charge of a government is often a very important step in the rules of political promotion in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If
Without the experience of running a government, even if you join the cabinet in the future, your voice will be flawed.
Like the comparison between Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, Qiao Yingjia's career advancement was not as smooth as Qi Yongtai's because he had served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a long time and lacked local experience.
Qi Yongtai not only served as the magistrate of Ningguo Prefecture in Nanzhili, but also later served as the magistrate of Zhangde Prefecture in Henan Province. Only then did he jump into the court even after resigning and teaching in the field for several years.
“Shall we go to the south or stay in the north?” Feng Ziying saw Sister You’s curious face and couldn’t help but reach out and give it a squeeze.
"I will go wherever I go, but in terms of life, I'm afraid it's better in Jiangnan." Sanjie You pressed her body closer to the man, and her emerald green bellyband was so trembling that it made people fascinated.
.
“Hey, don’t you like the taste of food in Jiangnan?” Feng Ziying was deeply impressed. When Sanjie You went to Jiangnan for the first time with him, she felt that the taste did not suit her and she ate very little. It took a long time to get used to it.
"It feels good once you get used to it. Don't you want to go to Jiangnan?" Third Sister You's plump lips were like fire, and her gray-blue eyes were like a civet in the dark night under the flickering candlelight.
"It's not whether I want to go to Jiangnan or not, it depends on how the court arranges it." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "Going to Jiangnan has the advantages of going to Jiangnan, and staying in the North also has the advantages of staying in the North. Personally, I think staying in the North
More appropriate, Jiangnan is too far away from the capital city after all."
In this era of extremely underdeveloped communications, beyond Shuntian Prefecture, it is really a foreign port, and outside Beizhili, in the minds of many people in the capital, it is the countryside thousands of miles away.
To the civil and military officials in the capital city, Jiangnan is more of a source of tax revenue, or has the impression of being a wealthy and wealthy country. Ordinary people only have an illusory concept in their minds.
As Qiao Yingjia said, he is first of all a scholar from the north, and the strategy of opening up the sea has greatly benefited the south of the Yangtze River. If he takes up an official position in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter how well he does, he will probably be criticized by the scholars from the north.
It may even be regarded as betrayal, which is something we must guard against.
Moreover, although the south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, it is also a tax-rich place. However, except for the major prefectures such as Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Jinling, the tax revenue of Songjiang, Hangzhou, and Ningbo has always been far higher than that of the wealthy prefectures in the north. However, its status in the imperial court was not high, not even as high as the northern prefectures of Baoding, Hejian, Taiyuan, Datong, and Jinan.
In addition, the closer it is to the capital city, the higher the chance of it being known in the court, and it can also get some news within the court in a more timely manner, which is something Feng Ziying attaches great importance to.
Qiao Yingjia's insights should be quite insightful. Those who have not been immersed in the court for many years would be hard-pressed to appreciate their taste. Just like Shen Jue, he originally had the opportunity to serve as the prefect of Changzhou Prefecture, but in the end he chose Dongchang Prefecture. Take this into account.
Seeing the two women next to her curled up next to her like cats, not saying a word, just listening to her narration quietly, Feng Ziying couldn't help but put her hands into the quilt and patted the two warm bodies, " Why, are you so worried that I won’t take you with me? Are you still unwilling to leave the capital?”
"We will go wherever the master goes, but the wife and concubine have no one around to wait on them." Miss You said in a low voice.
“You are filial.” Feng Ziying smiled and stroked Sister You’s soft and fluffy hair.
My aunt likes Sister You's temperament very much. She thinks she is honest, reliable, and hard-working. She can't do it without going to greet her every day. Although she doesn't like her appearance, it's fine if Feng Ziying likes her. This way, a concubine who can win the favor of her husband but who is honest and doesn't cause trouble is undoubtedly the best choice. Most popular.
Hearing the teasing in her husband's words, Second Sister You was a little shy and twisted her body.
"Well, let's see, maybe your sister may not go with me." Feng Ziying was also thinking that if Shen Yixiu could get pregnant earlier, he could stay in the capital city and take Eryou to his post. I think so too.
"By the way, Sir, the Jia Mansion has sent a message asking me to go there tomorrow, saying that the imperial concubine wants to see me, I don't know what it means?" Second Sister You suddenly thought of something.
"Well, we'll find out when we get there." Feng Ziying didn't want to talk more about this matter, so someone specially came to deliver a note asking her to meet at Jia's house. Feng Ziying also felt disgusted. Jia Yuanchun really felt that she was a legitimate brand. Now that you are a noble concubine, you can now point your fingers, or do you have other intentions?
Feng Ziying is more inclined to the latter, but he would rather be the former. That is just a matter of the Jia family, but if it is the latter, why summon him?
What Feng Ziying fears most is that the other party comes with some intentions of the concubine or even the emperor, which will be difficult.
************
“It is said that the Feng family has replied to the letter and Uncle Feng agreed to come to the mansion.” Baoqin whispered while combing the hair of the imperial concubine who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror imported from the West.
“What did the master say?” Yuanchun’s face showed a hint of worry, his fingers were as smooth as jade, warm and fair, and he gently pinched the gold paper.
“Well, it was sent by Second Master Bao, specifically to see Uncle Feng.” Bao Qin said cautiously.
Listening to Baoqin mentioning Baoyu, the worry on Yuanchun's face gradually disappeared, revealing a smile, "I heard that Baoyu has been studying harder in the past six months. I heard that the "Today News" has published what he wrote. If Baoyu
If I can write articles in "Internal Reference", my life will not be in vain."
"Don't worry, Madam. With Uncle Feng taking care of you, Mr. Bao will definitely have a good future." Bao Qinkuan explained to Yuan Chun, "But Madam will stay in the mansion for two nights, and Manager Xia also needs to take care of things."
"Hmph, what else can that old slave do besides asking for money?" A flash of anger flashed across Yuan Chun's face, and then he became depressed again, "That's all, go and prepare five hundred taels of silver to send over, lest this old guy avoid it.
Noisy."
Seeing Yuan Chun carrying Qin out, he stood up, walked to the window, looked at the small garden outside the window, and was lost in thought for a while.
Only when I came to the palace did I know what it was like to live like this. Yuanchun could no longer describe it in words. Regret was meaningless. There was never even a chance for me to regret it. Sometimes I woke up from a dream with my embroidered pillow soaked.
I don’t know when these days will end?
But in addition to this kind of suffering, he also had to be involved in those intrigues, which made Yuanchun feel even more exhausted.
Yuan Chun found that he was unable to refuse or get rid of all kinds of fetters and inextricable troubles from home and palace.
Perhaps this is your fate, a fate that you can never escape from?
Looking at the few green shoots outside the window that seemed to be breaking free from the shackles of the cold and releasing a greenness, Yuanchun thought of himself, where is he?
