The master and the servant fought for a while, and then slowly settled down.
"What do the two gentlemen and the ancestors mean by the restoration of Brother Keng's family?" Wang Xifeng calmed down and slowly thought about it, "Even if they wanted to congratulate Brother Keng, they wouldn't specifically report it to the ancestors.
"
"My ancestors are very concerned about it. Well, grandma, do you think it might be related to Miss Yun?" Ping'er thought for a while before saying.
"Girl Yun?" Wang Xifeng frowned, "Didn't it mean that Girl Yun's family has been making peace with the Zhen family? But there has been no news for so long, and Zhen Baoyu has not heard of another engagement. Who did it?
What’s the idea?”
"Yes, I also feel strange. In the middle of last year, I talked about Miss Yun and the Zhen family. They said that Zhen Baoyu was as handsome as Mr. Bao, but he seemed to be unable to study. But the Zhen family's room was just like this.
My legitimate son, Miss Yun will not be wronged if he marries her, or is it because the Zhen family dislikes Miss Yun and her parents are gone?"
"Impossible. If they dislike it, the historians will not talk about it, and it is even less likely that this news will come out." Wang Xifeng categorically denied, "I am afraid that the Zhen family is also uneasy, and they have to look at Shu, eat in their mouths, and see
Looking into the bowl, looking into the pot."
This is not easy to say. The relationship between the Zhen family and the Jia family is unusual. Moreover, they are still the first of the four new families in Jinling. The second master of the Zhen family is the Minister of Rites of Nanjing, a real second-rank official. The third master is a colleague of the Hangzhou Prefecture.
Zhi, who also holds great power, is much more prosperous than the Jia family.
"Grandma means that our ancestors want to use this method to force the Zhen family, or are our ancestors really interested in letting Miss Yun marry into the Feng family?" Ping'er couldn't help but ask in the end.
"It's hard to say. Who can guess the thoughts of our ancestors? She has eaten more salt than we eat rice. We must think clearly about such things. However, the ancestors of the Shi family are not good at overstepping their bounds, so I
I think it's probably better to show it to the Zhen family..." Wang Xifeng guessed.
"Grandma means that our ancestors didn't want Miss Yun to marry Brother Keng. I saw that Miss Yun and Brother Keng were very close, so I thought..." Ping'er said doubtfully.
"Getting close? Being close can determine the life events of two people? This is two families, not a matter of two people." Wang Xifeng said coldly: "Not to mention whether the Shi family will agree or not, the Feng family may not be willing? Yun
The girl's parents are both dead. This alone can make many people retreat. The historian is no better than before? Are the two uncles and aunts of Yun Yatou worried? Brother Keng is so in demand now? The prince of Beijing County and Dongping County
The king is plotting against him, and he is about to become Tang Monk. What advantage does the Shi family have?..."
Thinking of this? What suddenly occurred to Wang Xifeng? "Ping'er, do you think Bao Yatou is suitable to marry into the Feng family?"
"I'm afraid, the situation at Miss Bao's side is not as good as Miss Yun's side? After all, Miss Yun is also a double noble? The Xue family is now as good as Huang Shang." Ping'er said hesitantly.
"Forget it? You don't want to think about this anymore? It has nothing to do with us anyway? But you said that the two masters and the ancestors talked about the debt for garden repairs? What did the ancestors say?"
Wang Xifeng is more concerned about this matter, which is directly related to whether she can gain a firm foothold in the Jia family in the future, especially after she and Jia Lian reconciled. Without this support, can she be the same as before? In her heart
Really hopeless.
"The ancestors are also very angry. They say they owe so much debt. The cost of repairing the garden is far beyond the original idea. I originally thought that it could be done with 400,000 taels of silver, but now it's not over 450,000 taels, and I still owe the outsiders so much.
How much? All the money in the company is empty, and we have to live by moving money around to pay off debts. It’s time to do a thorough investigation to see where the money is spent."
Ping'er's answer cheered up Wang Xifeng, "Did the ancestor really say that? Did the ancestor say it on his own initiative, or did the two masters lead the ancestor to say it?"
"The two masters must have led the conversation. The ancestor asked Yuanyang a few more questions. Yuanyang also said that it was too wasteful, and the servants in the government also reported it. Later, the ancestor said that it was time to investigate, not just the garden.
, including things in the original mansion,..."
Wang Xifeng nodded silently, and Yuanyang also helped. She was probably touched by what she told her about the current situation in the house. It was not a big deal to keep mortgaging the ancestors' property. Sooner or later, the secret would be exposed.
"There has been a reaction in the house, and the reaction is not small. Now everyone has a unified opinion, which is a good thing." Wang Xifeng's cheek showed a hint of coldness, "It's time to shake it off. Take a look at the house.
How many blood-sucking bed bugs are there..."
"Grandma, Jia Rui must have approached several people in the mansion, but they didn't agree at first. Later, Jia Rui must have approached Wu Xingdeng and Lin Zhixiao..." Ping'er said softly.
Wang Xifeng nodded slightly.
This is also expected. Since someone has taken the lead in starting this "traitor" movement, smart people can see that there is a background behind it. Otherwise, who would dare to touch the famous person in front of our ancestors?
Since you want to seize the position and resources left by the Lai family, you naturally have to do your best, otherwise you will not have a share in the rewards for your merits in the future.
Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xingdeng should be close to Lai Da's position, and once Lai Da falls, Lai Sheng cannot escape from Ning Guo Mansion, so as long as this position is moved, everyone will naturally turn around.
Although the Lai family is domineering, the impression among the servants below is not good. To be precise, he has become a bit out of touch with the masses. It all relies on the power of his ancestors. Without the support of his ancestors, he would have been unable to do what he did long ago.
Went down.
Now times have changed. Wu Xingdeng and Lin Zhixiao have much greater influence and affinity among the servants below. With them coming forward, it will not be a problem to find a few servants who dare to come forward to testify.
"Well, up to this time, Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xingdeng still don't dare to take any action, so they won't want to sit in the big position in the future. Jia She must have said hello to them."
When Wang Xifeng only had Ping'er, she dared to call Jia She directly, which shows her hatred for Jia She.
"Then grandma, when...?" Ping'er asked subconsciously.
She was still a little nervous. Lai Da had been the general manager of the Jia family for many years and had accumulated great prestige. This move would probably turn the world upside down. From the bottom of her heart, Ping'er felt that without the support of Uncle Feng, there would be no one in the whole family.
Dare to do this, no matter whether it is the boss or Jia Rui, or Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xingdeng, they all dare not take this risk.
Wang Xifeng is also a little worried. Although she is hiding behind the scenes, she will be the ultimate beneficiary of this matter, and in the long run, she will still be the biggest beneficiary. Once the Lai family is not brought down, she will be the biggest beneficiary in the future.
Don't even think about the Jia family continuing to live as they did before.
Wang Xifeng pondered for a moment, "It still depends on Brother Keng's preparations, and we have to wait for his confirmation, but he will be leaving for Yongping soon, and he also promised me to tell me about this matter before leaving.
Once it’s done, I think he should have an explanation.”
Just when Wang Xifeng was talking about Feng Ziying, Feng Ziying was riding her horse towards Jia's house full of melancholy.
Almost within two or three days, everyone in the capital knew about the restoration of the second wife of the Feng family. The application for concurrent residence has been submitted to the Ministry of Rites. If nothing unexpected happens, the approval of the concurrent residence will be issued within three to five days.
There is no doubt that the Xue family and Baochai should have gotten the news. It would be unjustifiable if he never showed up.
So no matter how difficult it was, Feng Ziying had to come to Xue's house, and he firmly believed that his mother's work could be done.
Baochai lives in Wuyuan in the Grand View Garden, while Aunt Xue lives in a small courtyard in the northeast corner of Jia's Mansion, not far from the gate of Grand View Garden. To enter from the gate of Jia's Mansion, you have to walk around alleys and aisles, and now
If you go to Jia Mansion by yourself, you will inevitably attract the attention of countless people.
I am really in the limelight now.
Thinking about the fact that he was going to Yongping soon, he would not have much time to visit the Grand View Garden. Feng Ziying also felt a little unspeakable in her heart. It seemed that all the beautiful things in the Grand View Garden were about to leave her. This was really a bit...
Pity.
As soon as they entered through the corner door, the attitudes of the concierge boys were different from before. They were all smiling and hurriedly greeted them, "Uncle Feng is here?"
Feng Ziying was not familiar with the servants at the door. She only recognized one of them, Li Liuer, as the cousin of Jia Zhengchang who followed Li Shier.
These boys are more successful than others, so they never get offended. They casually took out a bunch of copper coins from their pockets and threw them to Li Liu'er. "Well, I just came here. Liu'er, give it to everyone, and have a cup of moisturizing."
voice,……"
"Okay, you're so polite." Seeing that Feng Ziying could call him by name, Li Liu'er was so happy that his whiskers were raised, and he hurriedly took the string of money with both hands, "Are you here to see the master or Mr. Bao, or do you want to see me?"
Go to the garden?"
Everyone was tacitly aware of Feng Ziying's visit to the Jia Mansion. Miss Lin's future husband would be her cousin in the future. Of course, no one said it clearly. After all, it is not appropriate for unmarried couples to meet alone these days. Elders must be present.
, of course no one pays too much attention to this.
Everyone has heard that this gentleman has now been promoted to a fifth-rank official, and will be promoted to a fellow magistrate in the future. This has been rumored in the house for the past two days, and people are talking about it with excitement and salivation.
You must know that Mr. Zheng is a foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he is only from the fifth rank. Compared with this man, he is already one level lower. Logically speaking, Mr. Zheng will salute and call Uncle Feng "Sir" when he sees him, and this is a government.
Tongzhi is much more powerful than the idle position of Mr. Zheng in the Ministry of Industry. Think about what a powerful person the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture is. Now Uncle Feng has gone to Yongping Mansion to serve as Tongzhi Master, which is exactly what he is like.
