This kind of ambiguity between two people is undoubtedly the sweetest. No one has provoked it. They all know that if the two want to get together, there will be countless difficulties and obstacles, but it is precisely this kind of ambiguity that has to go through countless twists and turns.
The result is the most memorable for the rest of your life.
Tanchun also had some expectations in her heart. Brother Feng's marriage to the third wife and his second sister's wife, and the second sister's entry into the Feng family as a concubine, gave her a little more hope.
Although reason tells Tanchun that Brother Feng is not omnipotent, but now that he has three wives and three wives, it seems impossible and even humiliating and rebellious for his second sister to be his concubine. Now it seems to have become a matter of course in the house. All this is not
Does this mean that Brother Feng is omnipotent?
No matter how difficult the challenge is, he can always find a suitable way to solve it, just like when he served as Yongping Tongzhi and Shuntianfu Cheng. In every position, he can make achievements that impress and praise the court and the people.
We never let you down, and we will do the same when dealing with these matters.
After the short sweet moment, both Tan Chun and Feng Ziying knew the serious matters to be discussed today, and soon returned to the main topic.
Tan Chun first introduced the current difficulties of Rongguo Mansion, and then talked about his own ideas, including what Rongguo Mansion currently needs until the end of the year, what income Rongguo Mansion can still have by the end of the year, and how much shortfall is left after the two are offset. This is a
Pen.
In addition, let’s talk about the expenses that Baoyu may need to get married.
These two sums are not small sums, but since Feng Ziying is here, she must be prepared to help Tanchun solve the problem.
"In this way, Third Sister, you don't have to worry too much. I know that the Rongguo Mansion is indeed in a tight situation right now. You said that from now on to the end of the year, it will need 8,000 taels of silver to make up for the shortfall to make ends meet. In addition, Baoyu will need about 4,000 taels of silver, that is
Twelve thousand taels. After I go back, I will have someone bring the banknote to give you five hundred more. Twelve thousand five hundred taels. In addition, I will give you another two thousand taels in private. You don’t have to ask for this amount.
The old lady and the madam mentioned it, just keep it yourself and know what to do, treat it as your own private money, and use it for yourself. If there is any special accident, it can also be used as a temporary emergency...
"
Tan Chun felt warm in his heart, but shook his head like a rattle, "Brother Feng, that's absolutely not possible..."
"What is absolutely not possible?" Feng Ziying knew what Tanchun was thinking.
Look at the half-used skirt she wore today. It has become a little white after washing. Although it is neat and tidy, in the eyes of outsiders, even those with sharp eyes can see that it looks shabby. As Si Qi said, Rongguo Mansion has been
There were no new clothes in the summer and autumn last year, and the servants below were full of complaints about this. Even Tanchun set an example. Although the servants below could not say anything publicly, they were definitely still dissatisfied in their hearts. They would not care about your specific difficulties, they only knew
You have been living well for so many years, but how come you, the third girl, are becoming more and more ineffective in managing things?
"The government is borrowing these twelve thousand taels from Brother Feng, and the younger sister will issue an IOU. Well, thank you to Brother Feng for giving me an extra five hundred taels for my little sister's sake. As for the two thousand taels, the younger sister will never give up.
Those who refuse to accept it..." Tan Chunming's bright eyes were good at discerning, and the beauty on her cheeks was mixed with a bit of heroic spirit, which made Feng Ziying feel hot in her heart.
"Third sister, it goes without saying that I lent it to the house, but the two thousand taels can be regarded as brother Yu's personal loan to third sister, or it may be part of the betrothal gift given by brother Yu in advance. Third sister is now in charge of the family, and the father is the money.
In addition, you also need to have some spare money on hand, in case there are some unexpected emergencies. Brother Yu also knows that Sanmei used to have some savings and probably spent them buying paintings and calligraphy, but it is different now. If you want to run a business, you must not be without confidence.
Two thousand taels of silver is nothing to Brother Yu, but Third Sister can feel much more at ease with it, and Brother Yu can also feel more at ease..."
Seeing that Tanchun was about to talk more, Feng Ziying interrupted him and said: "If Third Sister thinks that two thousand taels of silver will cause any trouble between Brother Yu and Third Sister, then Brother Yu will have nothing to say."
Tan Chun looked at Feng Ziying and finally nodded without saying anything else.
As Brother Feng said, two thousand taels of silver is an astronomical sum to him, but it may be nothing to Brother Feng. If he refuses to accept Brother Feng’s wishes because of his own face, I’m afraid that
On the contrary, it will make Brother Feng feel alienated.
Seeing that Tanchun finally accepted, Feng Ziying smiled with satisfaction,
"Okay, Third Sister, we've finished talking about the business. Baoyu's wedding house will definitely be busy for a while, and you and Sister-in-law Zhu will definitely have more work. I think the situation in this house is not good, and the servants are also
I'm a little slack, what are you going to do, sister?" Feng Ziying looked at Tanchun and asked.
"Brother Feng has also seen it?" Tan Chun sighed, "The people in the house are a little scattered. It turns out that the younger sister overestimated the people's hearts and thought that the Jia family has not been kind to everyone for so many years, but they have temporarily encountered difficulties.
, as long as everyone works together, we can persevere. I didn’t expect that it would only be a long time ago, which is probably more than half a year. Indeed, the government has compressed and cut some expenses. For example, there is no need to purchase seasonal clothes for the time being. The monthly money has been reduced by half, and the food and beverage expenses have been reduced by half.
The standards have also been lowered, and various repairs and maintenance in the mansion have been temporarily suspended. In this way, the mansion is still struggling, but if not, I am afraid that the mansion will not be able to open in May and June..."
"Third sister, it is necessary to reduce expenditure, but the key is to increase revenue. Of course, Brother Yu also knows that it is not Third Sister's responsibility to increase revenue, it should be the responsibility of these big men in the government. But the current situation in the government is like this. Uncle Zheng Shi's side
Let's see if waiting two months will bring some money to the house." Feng Ziying also shook her head and sighed, "But the more this situation happens, the third sister must remember that it is more necessary to unite and stabilize people's hearts. She would rather borrow money than
Reduce deductions, otherwise once the outside world thinks that the Jia family is in trouble, all kinds of problems will explode..."
Seeing Feng Ziying's serious words, Tanchun was also shuddered. He thought about it carefully and felt that there was some deep meaning in it.
No wonder the Niu family had agreed with the government on betrothal gifts at first, but suddenly started to make things difficult again. I don't know if it was because of this factor.
Also, a few days ago, the government went to the Wanping County Government Office to negotiate about a carriage in the government that injured a passerby because the horse was startled. Wanping County didn’t seem to be as easy to talk to as it was in the past two years. The other party asked for a high price, obviously.
It exceeded the requirements, but Wanping County Government actually allowed it to happen and even supported the other party's request.
There are also two remaining shops in Beijing that are also involved in sales disputes, involving the issue of exchanging contracts. It was originally agreed that they would only charge two hundred taels, but now the guy actually said that interest would be calculated, which would cost at least
It cost a thousand taels, but when it came to Daxing County Government, there was still no progress.
In addition, when buying a house next door for Baoyu, the other party's attitude was far less respectful and enthusiastic than before, but a little more cautious, and even stated that the transaction would be made in cash. Is it possible that he was still worried about not being able to get credit from the house?
Seeing Tanchun deep in thought, Feng Ziying also knew that although Tanchun was smart, he had never experienced these things outside. He only felt that Rongguo Mansion had a good reputation and was respected everywhere, but he did not expect that such frugality in the mansion would affect Rongguo Mansion.
The image of the government in the outside world has an impact. The people in the capital city are sharper than anyone else. They can figure out the slightest disturbance. If you even deduct and halve the monthly salary of the servants, doesn't that mean that your government has supported it?
Can’t go down anymore?
"When Brother Yu sends the money, it's best for my sister to pay the money that she owed for the past few months. In addition, the house she wants to buy for Baoyu should be completed as soon as possible. This can also convey some information to the outside world..."
Tanchun nodded slightly. She knew that this was Brother Feng reminding her that she still lacked experience in some things.
"Of course, kindness and prestige go hand in hand. If kindness is given, prestige must also be established. Now the servants in the house are slacking off. After the monthly payment and clothes are in place, we need to reiterate the discipline regulations in the house and find an opportunity to rectify them.
, those who don’t open their eyes use it to kill chickens and scare monkeys. Third sister should know exactly how to operate,..."
Feng Ziying knew that he had said too much, and he should know these methods of probing, but he still wanted to remind him, "Brother Yu also knows that the third sister is a person who can't get rid of the sand in his eyes, but with such a big family in the Rongguo Mansion, Shui Zhi
Qing Wuyu, my sister also needs to pay attention to skills and propriety in handling these matters. Brother Yu believes that my sister can achieve a good balance..."
After Tanchun was stunned for a moment, he slowly came back to his senses. Brother Feng was reminding himself that he needed to be relaxed and relaxed in his actions. In addition, some things should not be too principled and flexibility needed to be taken into account, especially when it came to his ancestors and his wife.
Yes, then it needs to be considered carefully.
"Brother Feng, have you known about these secret things in the house for a long time?" Tan Chun couldn't help but asked in a low voice when sending Feng Ziying out.
"Hi, sister, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are hundreds of people, all kinds of people. My sister is smart, and you will understand it as you get to know her more." Feng Ziying smiled, "It's the same in every high-end family.
, our family is also because it has always been on the border of Datong, and most of the clan members are on the Linqing side, so it is not as complicated as the Jia family. Brother Yu is thinking that if we rest for a few more decades, the situation of the Feng family will be the same as it is now.
The Jia family is about to grow apart, and each house and door may have its own household. Naturally, there will be unscrupulous descendants. Who can avoid this?"
Tan Chun nodded thoughtfully, but before he could speak, Feng Ziying suddenly stood still with a strange smile: "But if the third sister can enter my house, and I want to leave the house to the third sister, then I will definitely let the third sister take care of it.
Don’t worry, the Feng family’s situation will be much better in the future.”
Tanchun let out an ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The red clouds were floating on her extremely pretty face, and she couldn't help but want to squirm away from Feng Ziying's gaze. How could Feng Ziying be able to endure it, she held Tanchun's face in her hands and kissed it gently.
