Chapter 853: Lin Zhaozhi does not pick up things on Songjiang Road, and Daiyu promotes marriage and marriage
In fact, many major events happened in the eighth year of Xiaode, such as the armed gathering of the naturalized merchant group and the east-west attack by the Black and Liao army, and the Yehenala tribe, the Hesheli tribe, and the Borji tribe in the grassland.
The two armies of the Git tribe fought several battles and beheaded countless people. For example, many nobles were recruited in Shandong and Henan to recruit poor people to go out and open up wasteland. For example, Lin Zhao went to Songjiang Prefecture to serve as a supervisor.
In the past, everything would be discussed by the government and the public, and there would be countless disputes and analyses. However, Emperor Xiaode was like the sun in the sky, threatening the sky, and everything he did was a major event, even between Eros and Ottoman Turkey.
A friendly visit from an envoy is actually nothing.
Because with the changes in the national tax system and the increasing power of the Ministry of Household Affairs, tax revenue has increased significantly, but it has had little impact on people's livelihood.
Not only that, the stability in the northwest and northeast has made the country as stable as a mountain, and the small wars in the south have nothing to do with the overall situation.
Therefore, Emperor Xiaode was called "the style of the Han, Wu and Tang sects."
But in fact, people who carefully studied the market in Dazhou found that Emperor Xiaode's methods of governing the country were probably even stronger than those of the Wu and Tang sects of the Han Dynasty.
One of the secretaries of the cabinet noticed something. In previous years, when savings were exhausted and harvests had not yet arrived, it was often the most critical time for small households. If there was a slight fluctuation, they would go bankrupt and lose their homes. Then there would always be troubles like this in various places.
The situation this year has been a lot better for such disturbances, where hungry people gather in large groups, or when people are deliberately inciting poor people. Such large and small disturbances are at least 40% less than last year, and even less than 70% less than before.
.
What's the reason? It's just that outside the customs and outside the Great Wall, there are a lot of fields that need people to cultivate, and people are being recruited everywhere, which invisibly absorbs the homeless and poor people. If people have a way out and can find food and clothing, they won't cause trouble.
There's a mess.
Of course, this is also related to the organizational strength of the court.
For example, the imperial court sent 50,000 to 60,000 trained Jinyi guards to Guihua City and Heiliao to maintain public order, appease the people's livelihood, and organize the land, business, and military affairs.
It is said that Jia Huan, the concubine of Jia Zheng, the second eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, was also born in Jinyiwei. For the sake of his own fame, even though he was young, he followed a large group of people to Guihua City and within a year he got the position of a hundred households.
In other words, the country is so prosperous and stable, and Jin Yiwei has made great contributions.
Among them, Lin Zhao, the left governor of Jin Yiwei, naturally showed outstanding abilities.
After coming to this conclusion, the secretary of the cabinet talked with his friends, and the news soon reached the ears of a certain boss in the cabinet. Then the secretary of the cabinet was sent to Huguang as the prefect with excellent evaluation.
In terms of rank, the promotion of the cabinet secretary to the prefecture is indeed considered a promotion, but according to the Ming Dynasty practice, if the cabinet secretary is a local secretary, being a left-wing political participant is considered a dereliction of talent.
Although Lin Zhao went to Songjiang, the things he did are still there.
It seems that they have no involvement in specific government affairs and people's livelihood.
But after he intervened in Yangzhou, Jingcheng, Guihua City, and the Western Regions, many things suddenly became clear and easily solved. They may seem inconspicuous, but when you think about it carefully, they are dazzling.
It stands to reason that Lin Zhao is the son of Lin Ruhai, the Minister of Household Affairs. If he develops normally, he should belong to the scholar-bureaucrat class.
But in fact, he is a warrior.
He has such an achievement as a martial artist. No matter what people do later, everything is subject to comparison. If you don't do well, you will naturally be inferior. If you do well, you will definitely carry forward what Lin Zhao did.
We are all at the highest level in the world, and we are all arrogant people. No one would be willing to be judged like this.
However, if you don't want to hear it and don't want people to compare it, it doesn't mean that Lin Zhao doesn't exist anymore. Uncle Zhongqin of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of the left army of Jin Yiwei, and he oversaw the opening of Songjiang port, which attracted worldwide attention, so it's very difficult not to hear it.
From the fifth year of Xiaode's fifth year when this motion was put forward to the seventh year of Xiaode's seventh year, the opening of Songjiang port has been stumbling. At first, there was no progress, and then a group of officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were helplessly transferred to Songjiang Prefecture. Only then did it slowly
There is action, but progress is still very slow.
The House of Internal Affairs is generally under the most capable control of the clan sent by the emperor, and the emperor also controls it carefully, so the staff below are all capable, so the House of Internal Affairs should be prosperous.
But in fact, the great development of the Ministry of Internal Affairs began when Lin Zhao served as a minor official in Yangzhou Mansion.
The expansion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the capital was actually due to the fact that after Lin Zhao maintained public security in the capital, he arranged for a considerable number of experienced and capable members of the Jin Yiwei to be recruited.
In fact, although Lin Zhao proposed opening Songjiang as a port, it was still an idea shared by both the government and the public.
Songjiang's geographical location is too advantageous, and it will definitely bring in a lot of money if it is used to open a port.
Although Lin Zhao proposed various measures, not many scholars took them to heart.
You have read the books of sages and have been in power for many years. You are proficient in government affairs and have rich experience. Are you no better than a warrior who can just talk about it?
With this intention in mind, when Lin Zhao proposed opening Songjiang as a port, the courtiers agreed in succession.
It is easy to think and say, but not easy to do. The current situation in Songjiang Mansion proves this. You must know that the person who goes to promote various policies is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the emperor's younger brother Prince Zhongshun.
When it came to being famous and favored, Prince Zhongshun said he was the first, and no one dared to admit he was second.
It was precisely because he was going to Songjiang to preside over the opening of the port that he released Jiang Yuhan from the palace and gave her freedom.
Although Prince Zhongshun has a prominent position, he is known as the number one person in the "Hero Genealogy" recited by aristocratic families in the capital.
Among the heroes, the second-ranked character changes frequently. Even Lin Zhao only stayed for two years, but the number one, Prince Zhongshun, never changes.
Regardless of whether the overlord flag is constantly changing on the ground in Beijing, the top spot has never changed hands.
However, despite the reputation of Prince Zhongshun, the opening of Songjiang port was still a mess, a mess and unseemly, and many people with ulterior motives took advantage of the loopholes.
According to the news from Jinling Jinyi Guardian, Songjiang Mansion has now become the place where pirates from Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong settle their accounts. They go ashore in the name of merchants and sell all kinds of goods they robbed at sea. Those powerful men in the green forests of Jiangsu
, The owners of the coastal houses all go there to make contacts, and people from gambling houses and bureaus also flock there, making the place full of smoke and smoke.
Pirates are doing business here, but the real tycoons of the sea are unwilling to come. Some sea lords who dominate the sea, with thousands of ships under their command, and thousands of men who can go out to fight, are better than these pirates.
How many times, but for them, maritime business and collecting taxes and fees on maritime passage are the main income. Killing people and stealing goods is a side job. This is only used as a deterrent.
After all, there are more ships on the sea, and they receive more money. If they really want to kill them all, they will be fishing in the marsh, which will not benefit them at all.
For these sea owners who travel across the sea, what they need is a port where they can purchase large quantities of goods at any time and purchase the goods they transport. The current state of Songjiang Prefecture is not what they need.
A large amount of goods can be supplied stably, as well as a large amount of cash can be purchased. A person with enough credit and the ability to maintain long-term contacts must be a wealthy person from various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. They must have official connections, but now Songjiang
The house is in such a mess that none of these wealthy merchants want to come over because they feel embarrassed and lose their status. Moreover, the place is full of desperadoes on the sea. A few small boats are killing people and stealing goods at sea, and all they sell are scattered stolen goods.
Selling stolen goods is a small profit. Earning such a small amount of money is meaningless, and it will bring yourself a lot of trouble.
The big merchants from the sea are not willing to come, and the wealthy merchants from all over the south of the Yangtze River are also unwilling to come. In addition, the fall of the Zhen family in Jinling some time ago has involved many officials, fighting each other, and tearing off many wealthy merchants. Everyone is running away.
Besides, I naturally have no intention of going to Songjiang Mansion.
Huating County in Songjiang Prefecture is now a den of thieves. It would be a joke if this could be considered a port.
Everyone hopes to make a fortune here. Isn't it a joke to collect money from dice shops and prostitutes' dens and confiscate stolen goods?
Therefore, after Prince Zhongshun stayed in Songjiang for several months, he hurried back to the capital. If he could not get the job done without getting any credit, it was better to leave early and avoid getting into trouble in the end.
When Lin Zhao came here, everything was different.
On November 15th, the civil servants, officers, white men and young men who helped the county government, as well as two patrol inspectors and subordinates, in other words, all the government officials in Huating County were invited by Lin Zhao
Attending a banquet in the house.
Needless to say, the county magistrate and the two patrol inspectors all have official status. The others are nothing but their status in the yamen.
For such a big-name person, there is no reason not to go when he is suddenly invited by Uncle Zhongqin. There is a saying that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Lin Zhao is supervising Songjiang now, and he is in charge of them, so he dare not not go.
.
Besides, everyone knows that Lin Zhao also held a position as a historian in Yangzhou back then, so maybe he was nostalgic for the past.
The port chosen for the opening of Songjiang was in Huating County. Needless to say, the county was smoky. There were constant cases all day long, but none of the officers and policemen paid any attention to it. It was more important to go to the banquet.
Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion is the largest mansion in the area. Legend has it that it was the old home of Mr. Xu Ge during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Now hundreds of years have passed and things have changed. The Xu family's old home has changed several owners. This house occupies a vast area.
Needless to say, being close to the river is a special feature. Rich families rarely build mansions close to the riverside seaport. However, looking at Zhongqin Bo's Mansion is also next to a port, with those big ships moored in the port, everyone just
Understand why.
Everyone knows that when Supervisor Lin came here, he was still full of warships.
There were over three hundred people coming to the banquet. Considering the size of Lin Zhao's mansion, this was not a big deal. The banquet was also arranged, and it was still in the courtyard.
Welcoming the guests was Lin Dafei, the leader of the guard next to Lin Zhao. Lin Dafei was in front of the door with more than a dozen personal guards. Lin Dafei now also has the rank of military general of the Qianhu Guards.
In terms of rank, not to mention the two patrol inspectors, even the magistrate of Huating County has to call himself a lower official. Naturally, the officers and policemen do not dare to make mistakes, and they all behave respectfully.
These veterans who were selected as Lin Zhao's guards were all elite warriors. They were brave men who roamed the capital, Guihua City, and the Western Regions. They were placed outside the door, and the people in Huating County were afraid when they saw them.
Lin Dafei didn't have a smile on his face, but he was polite. When the people in the brigade passed by, he said disdainfully to the people around him:
"These people say they are working for the public. What do they look like in such a arrogant manner? Are they catching thieves or are they just thieves?"
The few people behind were all laughing, and someone joked:
"Our father-in-law is here, and we will wipe out all the evil spirits and monsters, leaving them to their misfortune!"
While he was talking, a guard ran out from the yard, approached and whispered to Lin Dafei:
"Team Lin, everyone is here. Everyone on the list has arrived and has been clicked twice."
From the other side, a man with a turban on his head came over on horseback. He got off his horse and said:
"Team Lin, except for those who are watching the port, everyone else who can come over has come over."
Lin Dafei smiled, waved his hands and said meaninglessly:
"You've done a good job, now it's time to talk about us! The door here is closed tightly, don't let anyone leave, I'm going."
Uncle Zhongqin is having a big banquet today, and even the guards at the city gates in Huating County have been invited. This is really out of character.
People inside and outside the city came in and out, and everyone cursed.
But it was just a few curse words.
In fact, no one is worried about any pirates coming at sea.
Because the real thieves are happy in the city.
Just when everyone at the city gate was indignant, someone saw a group of people coming from a distance.
not good!
Are there really thieves coming to attack?
Or is it that Xiaodao from Songjiang Prefecture will take the opportunity to rebel?
Just when everyone was panicking and the situation was about to become chaotic and uncontrollable, there were several big men at the city gate shouting loudly:
"Uncle Zhongqin's cavalry has entered the city, please don't panic!"
Some shouted in Songjiang dialect, while others spoke in Mandarin. Those who spoke Mandarin with a northern accent were naturally not pirates and water thieves, because pirates and water thieves were mostly locals or people from further south.
Therefore, everyone at the city gate quickly settled down. The four city gates all had this experience. More than a hundred people rushed over each, and there were people here to respond and calm everyone's emotions.
After everyone settled down, they were all a little confused. Songjiang Mansion was already the territory of Uncle Zhongqin, so why did he bring troops into the city?
Although not many people came, there were only a few hundred people, and it seemed that they were acting in a very orderly manner. Some people blocked the city gate, while the rest lined up to enter the city. Finally, someone thought of the most terrifying possibility. Could it be that this was the case?
Uncle Zhongqin's troops are going to plunder the city, which will be a disaster.
For a moment, there was an uproar in the city, and the big families closed their doors one after another, and the men gathered to hold the doors in preparation for being on guard. Some local ruffians thought this was an opportunity, and instead gathered people on the streets to get a vote.
Immediately after passing by, someone beat gongs and rode horses to shout along the street, shouting in Songjiang local dialect and Mandarin:
"Uncle Zhongqin, Supervisor Songjiang has issued an order. The streets in the city will immediately begin to be quiet, and everyone will close their doors. After a quarter of an hour, anyone wandering on the street will be killed."
So a quarter of an hour later, the cavalry began to roam the streets, killing many hooligans who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Lin Dafei was wearing light armor and riding on a horse holding a long sword.
"Team Lin is here, all streets in the county have been cleared."
Lin Dafei nodded on the horse. In front of the horse were several people dressed as local businessmen. Lin Dafei leaned forward and asked: "Now you will lead the way and uproot the places where stolen goods are hidden and sold in the city, and the residences of sea thieves in the city."
Get up!1.”
"I obey my orders!"
…
At this time, there was a scene of chilling in Lin Zhao's mansion!
The courtyard was filled with banquets, with a dazzling array of delicacies from the mountains and seas, which made one's fingers tantalize.
But everyone in the officialdom left the table and knelt down, everyone was trembling with fear.
"It is now November 15th, the seventh year of Xiaode in the Ming Dynasty. According to Jinyiwei's investigation, since this year, a total of fifty-five young women have disappeared in Songjiang Prefecture, eighty-one boys and girls have disappeared, and eighteen businessmen have disappeared.
You guys are really brave when people go missing. It's not enough to conceal stolen goods, cover up prostitution and gamble, but you actually do such evil things. Even if you are a native of this country, you can do it."
Lin Zhao's voice was very calm, but with the soldiers around him holding sharp blades, everyone was trembling.
No one tried to resist.
There is not even a guy who shouts "The law does not punish the public".
Lin Zhao glanced at everyone, slightly disappointed!
However, the corrupt officials who left the government were essentially evil-spirited people. Seeing how trembling they were, Lin Zhao no longer felt humiliated. He just waved his hand and hundreds of sword-wielding guards strode forward and cut him off.
These people were captured one by one and imprisoned in stone prisons specially built for them.
According to Lin Zhao, he will screen these people one by one, and those who are not guilty will go back to do errands. Those who are guilty will implement a "strike hard" policy!
In the city, Lin Dafei personally led the team to clean out the mansions of pirate nest owners one by one.
These nest owners belonged to wealthy families, and they also had armed servants, but in front of the elite Jin Yiwei, I was not safe enough. A single charge resulted in many casualties, and the others knelt down to beg for mercy.
Originally, a group of village warriors who were trained by local gangsters and scoundrels had no courage at all. When they saw Lin Zhao's soldiers rushing in with a fierce look, they were already panicking.
How can these rabbles compare with elite guards like Lin Zhao's personal guards?
There was a lot of noise in the county town, and the common people were on tenterhooks. But when they heard the fighting outside, but it didn't affect their own homes, their fear slowly turned into surprise.
On this day, all the gangsters in the city who colluded with pirates, the gangsters who were tyrannical in the city, and the bastards who gathered for gambling and gambling were all wiped out.
This was true inside the city, and it was true outside the city as well. A team composed of artillerymen and sailors from gunboats, led by local spies, cleared out all the dens for illegal activities outside the city. In addition, two temples were also destroyed.
Finished.
Hundreds of people were killed and thousands of people were arrested in the city. Nearly 200 people were also arrested in Uncle Zhongqin's house.
Among the people in the city, there were many who were neighbors of the evil-killers. Listening to their neighbors' screams and begging for mercy, they had no intention of helping, but they secretly felt happy.
After going out, the neighbors asked each other and they all found out that those who were misbehaving in the county had been arrested, and some villains were killed on the spot for resisting. They all felt quite happy.
Not only the common people feel happy, but also the gentry who are heirlooms in the city feel good about it.
They had little hope for Lin Zhao's arrival. Uncle Zhongqin was a martial artist and a master of making money. It would be better if he didn't do more harm to everyone when he came. Then they still expected him to appease the place.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhongqin actually did it. He used thunderous means to wipe out all the monsters inside and outside the city in one day.
Not to mention this, all the public servants inside and outside the city were arrested, which is really satisfying. This group of people did not know how to protect the place, but instead colluded with the annihilators and bandits to harm the people. They have long been hated to the bone and arrested.
If we don't arrest the thieves below, they will cause trouble sooner or later.
The next day, Lin Zhao's letter was quickly sent to Songjiang Prefecture, giving the Songjiang prefect a brief explanation of what happened in Huating County. The letter said very clearly that if you don't do it to clear Songjiang, then I will.
After seeing this, and the various news coming from over there, everyone in the Songjiang Prefecture was frightened and awe-inspiring, and every county in Songjiang Prefecture was also awe-inspiring, and they began to purge and arrest people.
So after November of the eighth year of Xiaode, Songjiang was under great control, and no relics were picked up on the road.
When Lin Zhao was preparing to govern Songjiang well, Feng Ziying hurriedly came to Songjiang to find Lin Zhao. After hesitating for a long time, he said that he wanted to marry Xichun.
"What? You traveled thousands of miles to come here just for this matter?"
Lin Zhao felt completely unreasonable.
You are not taking the love route!
Besides, don’t you have a confidante, Qiuniang? We all went on vacation together at the Zhongnan Mountain Hot Spring Resort.
To put it bluntly, you fell in love with Xichun at first sight and couldn't help it. The worst you could do was ask someone to propose marriage in Chang'an City. But you traveled thousands of miles and traveled for more than half a month to come here to ask me for help?
Is there something wrong with your brain?
"Brother Lin, for you, this is a small matter, but for me, this is a big deal, related to the inheritance of my family."
"Qiuniang and I have been together for several years, but no matter how good my family situation is, or Qiuniang's origins, she cannot be a housewife. However, Miss Xichun is calm and elegant, has profound artistic attainments, and also knows some Western paintings. This is my wife's
She is the best choice, and I will treat her well and never let her down."
"The reason why I came all the way to find you is because I have made up my mind and don't want things to get messy again. I'm just afraid that others will do things badly and it will not be good."
After talking for a long time, you are still like me, a big pig's hoof!
Lin Zhao thought for a moment and said, "The fourth girl is still young."
Feng Ziying wiped her face and said, "It's okay, I can afford to wait."
Lin Zhaodao: "Her brother and nephew are all bastards."
Feng Ziying sneered: "I'm not helpless, they don't dare to mess with me."
Lin Zhao added: "She is frightened by her brother and nephew. She is a bit cold-hearted. She is afraid that she will not be a good wife in the future."
Feng Ziying said sincerely: "I have seen many beauties in these years, all kinds of stunning ones, even from other countries. But I have seen too many, but I have lost the passion I had before. Just like what Brother Lin said that day
, no matter how beautiful the beauty is, she only has one nose and two eyes, what’s the difference? Besides, they are not really befriending me because of me as a person, but because of my identity and the Feng family behind me. So I also thought about it.
Well, no matter how good the skin is, it can't overcome the sympathy of the heart, and Qiu Niang can't be the first wife. I really want to marry the fourth girl."
The reason for the big pig's hooves is quite high-sounding.
But deep down in his heart, Lin Zhao had no intention of refusing.
If Xichun also talks about relatives.
Tanchun was the only one left in the Grand View Garden.
If Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang still turn a blind eye, it is enough to show how cold-hearted they are.
But it is also convenient for you to implement your plan.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhao frowned and said: "You can be regarded as His Majesty's confidant. You should know that their family will be defeated sooner or later. Although her dowry is with me, so she will not have no way of living, but her status will definitely not be worthy in the future.
Yes, your family is also willing?"
Feng Ziying shrugged and said: "My father is my only son. If I don't want to, no matter how hard they force me, there will be no legitimate grandson. Therefore, my family is not a problem. They are looking forward to a grandson almost as much as they are looking forward to a grandson."
Lin Zhaodao: "If you threaten your family like this, won't your family have any objections to the fourth girl?"
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Other families may do it, but my family will definitely not do it. My father and my mother love me very much, and it is not an exaggeration to say they are "twenty-four filial piety". For me, let alone Princess Lang.
The female officer next to me is a criminal in the government, and they will try their best to give her a clean life."
Lin Zhao nodded and said: "Okay, since you said so, I will write a letter to Second Grandma Lian. She is the serious person who can handle this matter."
Feng Ziying clasped her fists and said, "I won't thank you enough for your kindness. My happiness in life depends on you, brother."
Lin Zhao rolled his eyes at him, feeling that it was still completely unreasonable.
After all, Feng Ziying traveled thousands of miles to find a wife.
But his father was Feng Tang, the Shenwu General. With his family background, it was quite easy to get engaged to Xichun. Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were afraid that they would have to kneel on the ground and send Jia Xichun to the Feng Mansion.
But Feng Yanei refused to do this and insisted on coming to find him.
Just can't understand.
However, Lin Zhao did not write directly to Sister Feng. Instead, he wrote a letter to his sister Daiyu, telling her the matter in detail and asking him to handle it on her behalf.
Daiyu has been Princess Lang for a long time now, and her Qi has nourished her body. She is no longer the little girl she used to be.
After she received the letter, she directly told Feng Ziying, who came to deliver the letter, and smiled: "Brother Feng, since my eldest brother has written, it is my duty to do this. I will invite Sister Feng, and Brother Feng will wait behind the screen first.
"
Naturally, there were not only the two of them in the living room, but also the maid, the mother-in-law, etc. Feng Ziying hid behind the screen, so there would be no rumors.
When Sister Feng heard that it was Feng Ziying, she hesitated: "Is the threshold for General Shenwu's family too high? Now the fourth sister seems to be a good match for him, but in the future...especially the fourth sister is still young, only fourteen years old and one year old.
She is only thirteen, and it will take at least two more years to get married. No one knows what will happen in these two years. I heard that Feng Wubei is a romantic figure, and he is not young anymore. He is already eighteen years old, right?
There is also a beautiful concubine, Qiuniang, how can such a person treat the fourth sister sincerely in the future? The fourth sister is so frightened by the group of people in our house that she has to shave her head and become a aunt. If not she can treat her wholeheartedly.
The fourth sister will definitely not be willing to treat him attentively. How can the two of them live a good life like this? Sister Lin, I have thought about it. The fourth sister is still suitable for some clean families, such as the husband of Xing Xiyan, it is very appropriate.
"
Feng Ziying listened from behind and was so anxious that he didn't dare to make a sound, so he had to secretly pray to Daiyu to put in a good word for him.
Daiyu smiled and said, "It's natural for second sister-in-law to have such concerns. It's just that my brother has asked the eldest brother of the Feng family about these matters you are worried about. He said he doesn't mind, so I came to ask second sister-in-law."
He said: "Brother Feng is my elder brother's best friend. My brother said in his letter that he knows everything and is the most trustworthy person. If he agrees to something, he will definitely abide by it unless he is really unable to do it.
"
Sister Feng heard what Daiyu said and knew that it was Lin Zhao's intention, so she couldn't help but think about it. She knew that Lin Zhao was not an innocent person. If he didn't really ask the question accurately, he would never ask based on his cold temperament.
Is it just that the Feng family is really a good choice? The fourth sister's situation is special, and she has such a pair of famous brother and nephew, so people who are close to her may not be able to fall in love with her. This is why Sister Feng is not willing to visit someone for Xichun now. Originally,
The range of choices is small. If you encounter a powerful family again and you lose in the future, what will Xichun do? It would be better to wait until everything is over and let them be more normal. At least the situation of both families is on the surface. In the future
Xichun will not be picked on by her husband's family because of this.
Seeing Sister Feng deep in thought, Daiyu smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, in my opinion, the one from the Ning Mansion knows the result even without asking us. Anyway, as soon as they hear that it is the family of General Shenwu, they will definitely agree to anything.
But what Brother Feng wants is the willingness of the fourth girl, so asking me to ask this can be regarded as a sign of sincerity. Second sister-in-law, we are not that kind of pedantic people. You might as well ask the fourth girl directly about this and ask her what she means.
.”
Sister Feng nodded: "Well, since the Feng family is sincere, we can't be unreasonable and forcefully push out a good marriage. Please wait a moment, and I will ask the fourth sister personally."
Daiyu waved her hand and said: "Please. Just remember that we are still here waiting for your reply."
Sister Feng agreed and left.
…
Xichun was stunned after hearing what Sister Feng said.
Sister Feng analyzed her in detail: "The Feng family has an old friendship with our family, and they are well matched. They know our family's situation thoroughly, and they are also good friends with cousin Lin. Cousin Lin asked about their family's affairs with ours."
I don't mind. If Cousin Lin asks correctly, this must be true, so there will be no problem in the world between the two families. Feng Ziying herself is also a young and promising person. She is a guard of the fifth rank at a young age, and Lin Biao
Brother, Prince Wing Chun of Girl Qin’s family, and Young Master Jiang of Yinglian’s family are good friends. If you marry him, you sisters can still get along with each other often in the future, and you don’t have to readjust because of the relationship between your husband’s family. These are all advantages and disadvantages.
Yes, Mr. Feng is a charming person. He used to be a very playful person. It is said that he now has a beautiful concubine named Qiuniang. Now, although he has made a guarantee with Cousin Lin, there is no doubt whether he will relapse in the future.
It's hard to guarantee. Besides, he is the eldest son of the family and the grandson of the Feng family. His daughter-in-law will definitely be able to be the matron of the family and the wife of the clan in the future. My sister-in-law is worried about your temperament."
Xichun thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, please accept it."
Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and said, "Have you thought about it?"
Xichun nodded and said: "I am very aware of my sister-in-law's concerns. However, it is really difficult to find a family that has good relations with Sister Lin, Yinglian and their husband's family, and who doesn't care about our family's affairs. Just for this reason.
With one advantage, I can tolerate the two disadvantages my sister-in-law mentioned."
"As for Kuang's two shortcomings, he vouched for the first one with Cousin Lin, and Cousin Lin spoke out personally. I thought, he couldn't guarantee it in his life, but he must be good in the first few years, at least.
Before I gave birth to my son, he was determined not to cause anything that would hurt my face. In this world, it is already considered a good thing to have such a family. I can't force anything else. Besides, the matter of being the matron and the wife of the clan.
, Sister Lin said, my destiny is up to me. Over the years, my sister-in-law, Sister Lin, and the two mothers have taught me a lot. Although I didn’t study seriously, I still have a foundation. Plus, from now on
If you study hard, are you still afraid that you won't succeed? Second sister-in-law, I am also very smart."
Sister Feng gave a long "hmm" and hurried to the Lin Mansion to answer the question without exposing her.
Feng Ziying was overjoyed when she heard Sister Feng said yes. She ran out without caring about her business and bowed to Sister Feng: "Thank you, Second Grandma, for your support."
Sister Feng was startled by Feng Ziying. Grandma Wang and Feng'er hurriedly stood in front of Sister Feng.
Sister Feng saw Feng Ziying being dragged directly behind the screen by Grandma Rong through the gap. She hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, Grandma Rong, forget it, Feng Shoubei is also happy. But Feng Shoubei, I will leave it here for now, since
It was your family who came to ask for marriage first, and you have promised it. In the future, we can't follow the example of the unscrupulous Mei Hanlin family and make a fuss about canceling the engagement just because our family has something to do."
Feng Ziying kept nodding behind the screen: "Second Grandma, don't worry, I have already told my family about this, and they have discussed it, and they all agree."
Daiyu frowned and said: "Mei Hanlin? The family where Miss Qin was engaged before? What happened to their family?"
Feng Ziying said disdainfully: "Their family, when they climbed high, despised the Xue family as a merchant family, regretted their relationship with the Xue family, and ended up marrying Xiaoliu. Now, because of what happened a few months ago, Ping'an Prefecture Jiedushi Li
After his family was ruined, he went to Jia Yucun again and regretted marrying the Li family. The most disgusting thing is that in order to make his family look good, he also made many rumors about the girl from the Li family, ruining the girl's reputation.
The girl was worthy of being a descendant of King Chuang, and she was also a fierce warrior, so she died to prove her innocence. Now, the reputation of their family was completely ruined, and the one in Jia Yu Village who had no taboos was willing to marry his girl to them.
My family. If you ask me, if a family has a daughter and hundreds of wives, their family has a son and hundreds of daughters, so that’s not a thing."
Daiyu sneered and said: "Don't tell me, what their family asked for this time is a perfect match for their family. One is unkind and the other is ungrateful. Isn't it a perfect match?"
When Sister Feng and Feng Ziying heard about it, they both laughed and said repeatedly: "It's really a perfect match!"
…
When Bao Qin heard about what happened to the Mei family, he also felt sad: "Fortunately, fortunately, I listened to the princess and retreated early, otherwise I would be the one who has to die to prove my innocence now."
Daiyu said in disgust: "You are so callous and unrighteous, what kind of scholar do you think you are?"
Xichun flipped through the account book and said, "Sister Lin, haven't you ever heard that "Every dog is slaughtered with righteousness, but a scholar is the one who betrays the heart"? Not many of Cao Yanze's poems have been circulated, but this couplet is excellent and can be passed down through the ages.
.”
Xichun didn't hear a response after talking for a long time, so he looked up from the account book and saw Daiyu and Baoqin looking at her strangely, and asked strangely: "What's wrong? Why do you look at me like this?"
Bao Qin smiled and said: "Princess, am I being deceived, or have I entered the wrong door? How come our fourth girl, who always prides herself on being aloof and aloof, and only likes painting, is actually looking through the books?"
Daiyu smiled and said, "Ah, Miss Wei, you don't know this. Our four girls just got engaged, and we are engaged to be the only son of the Shenwu General Feng family. Now, in order for her to be a qualified woman in the future,
As the mistress of the house and the wife of a clan, she studies the skills of managing the household seriously every day, even leaving her painting skills aside."
Baoqin held the handkerchief and smiled and said: "Oh, that's it. Mr. Feng is really lucky that we, the four girls, can treat him like this."
Daiyu came close to Baoqin and said with a smile: "Hey, Mrs. Wei, you don't know this. Mr. Feng, in gratitude for the four girls' sincere friendship for him, sends people and things here every day. We
As for the fourth girl, those hands that usually only hold paintbrushes have now picked up not only the account book, but also the needle and thread, and they are so generous as a return gift to Mr. Feng."
Bao Qin let out a long "Oh", imitating the accent of an opera singer, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the concubine is interested in me. They are such a loving and respectful couple."
Daiyu also replied in the same tone: "That's right~."
Daiyu and Baoqin laughed and sang in harmony. Xichun blushed with embarrassment at first, and then got angry and stopped looking at the account book. He rushed towards them and wanted to tickle them. Daiyu hurriedly hid aside. Because of her
She was pregnant now, so Xichun didn't care about her, turned around and pressed on Baoqin, using both hands, scratching Baoqin until she was begging for mercy.
Daiyu almost lost her breath while laughing.
The three of them had a quarrel. After getting up and dressing up again, they sat together and talked.
Daiyu asked: "When you were doing the ceremony, I couldn't go there, and I didn't know the situation. Did your second sister-in-law or the sister-in-law You in the mansion do the etiquette for you?"
Xichun smiled and said: "Of course it's the second sister-in-law, and my good brother doesn't trust my sister-in-law either."
Daiyu said: "That's good, the second sister-in-law will take care of it."
Bao Qin said: "Now the fourth sister can be relied upon for life. Among the sisters like us, the only ones left are Sister Tan and Miss Li Qi from Sister-in-law Zhu's family. Miss Li is just that. Her mother has the final say, and she will never die in the future."
How bad will it be? But what about the third sister? What are her thoughts now?"
Xichun sighed: "What else can she think about? It's just that she can enjoy herself day by day. When I got engaged, she came over and told me that all she wants now is not to be a concubine."
Daiyu blinked her eyes, a smile appeared on her lips, but she said nothing.
Baoqin sighed: "Even if I can't be a concubine, I won't be a decent and good family."
Xichun sneered and said: "Enke will start next year. I'm afraid that the second master and the second wife will make a careful selection. Maybe it will be someone with a strong family background."
Baoqin sighed: "Sister Tan's life is miserable."
Daiyu shook her head and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe the time will come and all your wishes will come true."
