"That's what everyone said. However, there is nothing wrong with selling it. Anyway, there is an old house behind the garden, and the servants live there. There is another house outside. If anyone can take a fancy to it.
For this garden, we also bought all the old gardens at the back, opened up this side of the garden, opened a door from the back kitchen, and that’s it, isn’t it?”
Siqi said it very easily. Feng Ziying shook her head repeatedly when she heard this. She didn't even think about whether the front and back doors could be moved casually.
There is also the provincial villa inside, and the imperial concubine is still there. Who would risk the world's disapproval to buy this garden, and then have to renovate the provincial villa? Isn't this just looking for trouble?
Seeing Feng Ziying shaking her head, Si Qi just said casually that no matter how bad Rongguo Mansion was, it would be impossible to sell Grand View Garden, and Grand View Garden was integrated with Rongguo Mansion and even with Qinfang Garden in Ningguo Mansion. How could it be sold?
?It’s just that some servants are angry that they can’t even pay out monthly money, and they still try to save their face and live a useless life.
"Sir, the house is no longer what it used to be. It's really stretched. There's leakage everywhere." Si Qi put his face against Feng Ziying's bare chest and said in a tired voice: "The monthly money is halved, and the clothes can be changed according to the season, and the diet is reduced.
, it can be maintained for two or three months, but who can bear it after a long time? In addition, it is said that the future Second Grandma Bao will be a powerful person, more demanding than Second Grandma Lian, everyone is panicked, so some people are thinking about leaving the house.
Find another way."
"Leave the mansion?" Feng Ziying said in a manly voice: "Where can they go? There are probably children from the Jia family in the mansion, right?"
"Half and half." Siqi shook his head, "Most of the older generation of servants in the mansion are servants who have been with the Jia family for decades. Most of the younger generation are born into the family, but there are still a small half who are one or two.
Those who have only entered the house in the past ten years, such as the original maids who have some respectability, Yuanyang, the sisters Jinchuaner and Yuchuailer who have followed the master, as well as the slaves, Xiaohong next to the second mistress, and Ruhua next to the fourth girl, these are all
At home, things like Xiren, Qingwen, Zijuan, the waitress around the third girl, Cuimo, and the green around Miss Smith were all bought from outside, or they voluntarily sold themselves into the house, especially those who were close to ten years old.
It’s hard to say how much affection a person who enters the house has towards the Jia family. The monthly salary has been reduced by half, or may even be stopped. How can he stay in the house all the time? Even if he is in the house, he still has a big family to feed.
Due to the wear and tear, after a long time, I can only say goodbye and leave..."
Siqi sighed as he spoke, "My parents and grandparents are also saying that although the eldest brother's side is better, I really can't tell what the eldest man's temper is, and it might lead to a separation of the family.
, then the Jia family will really be destroyed..."
Feng Ziying naturally knew who Siqi's grandfather and grandmother were, as well as Wang Shanbao and his wife. The book "A Dream of Red Mansions" did not give a good review of the Wang Shanbao family, but it seemed that the two couples still knew about Jia She's death-seeking temperament, and their judgment was basically accurate.
"Isn't your grandma and grandpa close to Uncle Shi Shi? Please give me more advice, Uncle Shi Shi." Feng Ziying moved her hands on Si Qi's plump and strong breasts and said casually.
"Sir, don't you know what kind of person the eldest master is? Can you listen to other people's advice? Besides, my grandpa and grandma are not old people in the house. They came here with the eldest wife. It's just my mother who married the Qin family in the house.
." Si Qi explained.
Only then did Feng Ziying realize that Si Qi's surname was Qin, not Wang.
His father, Qin Ming, was a son of the Jia family, but he married the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wang Shanbao, whom the Xing family brought from her natal family, so he had a relationship with the eldest son. Theoretically, the Qin family still had a son of the Jia family, Si Qi
It can be regarded as a son of the Jia family, so Qin Xian is Qin Ming's younger brother, and he is from the Wang family. The two brothers can be regarded as their own masters, one follows the eldest brother, and the other follows the second brother.
"Then you and Xing Xiuyan are very close?" Feng Ziying said confidently.
Si Qi stood up and looked at Feng Ziying: "Doesn't it mean that I also have thoughts about Miss Xing? It turns out that it was because the girl wanted to be promised to the Sun family, so the eldest master and his wife said that they wanted Miss Xing to take over. Now they have not paid off.
Did you get what you wanted? Why are you still thinking about Miss Xing?"
Seeing Si Qi speaking for Yingchun like a cow guarding its calf, Feng Ziying burst into laughter, "I just mentioned it casually, why are you so nervous?"
"Humph, I can't you understand what I'm thinking about, but it's just to look at Shu." Si Qi said angrily: "I also know that Miss Xing has a good temper, is handsome, and is a sweetheart. She is also in love with Miss Miaoyu.
If we get closer, if I have accepted the girl into the house, it will naturally be up to me to figure it out. Now that the girl has not even passed the door, I am thinking about Miss Xing, which would hurt my girl's heart too much."
Feng Ziying couldn't laugh or cry, and gave Siqi a hard blow on his fat buttocks: "What have you been thinking about all day long? I just asked Xiuyan and you started thinking about it. After all, Xiuyan and you are still married to each other.
There must be some connection, and they say she has a good temper, so why are you so unwelcome?"
"Since when have you not wanted to see Miss Xing? I'm just angry that Master is too busy. My girl hasn't even been admitted yet, but I'm already thinking about Miss Xing over there." Si Qi pursed his lips.
"Si Qi, don't tell such nonsense. Why have I ever cared about Miss Xing?" Feng Ziying was helpless.
Siqi cast a sidelong glance at Feng Ziying and said, "I feel my conscience and say, are you really not interested in Miss Xing?"
Feng Ziying was suffocated, but she was unwilling to lie in front of Siqi. She smiled and said: "Xiuyan is indeed very good, but at least now I don't have any ideas about her..."
Si Qi rolled his eyes, turned around, and turned his jade-like pink back to Feng Ziying. There was a bit of voluptuousness in the plumpness, especially showing an alluring arc at the waistline, "What else did I say?"
, isn’t it exposed all at once? I haven’t made up my mind right now, so who knows what’s going on in my heart? Doesn’t that mean that I will still have plans for Miss Xing in the future? Why do you have to be so secretive? "
"Xiuyan is also a self-respecting person, not necessarily as you say..." Feng Ziying argued forcefully.
“Ms.
Women, from the perspective of slaves, even people like Third Miss and Miss Yun, they all admire me very much."
Feng Ziying was taken aback and carefully observed Siqi. Seeing that there was no difference in the other party's face, she realized that the other party was just saying words unintentionally and was not aware of the personal relationship between herself and Tanchun, so she smiled and said: "These words are amazing."
Don't talk nonsense, it will cause unnecessary trouble."
"This slave said this in front of me. The third girl was very happy every time she talked about me. Miss Yun was also the same. She lamented that he could do such a big thing at such a young age. He was much better than her two uncles.
..." Siqi explained: "I feel sorry for the third girl and Miss Yun. The third girl has not been offered a good family in the house, but Miss Yun has been beaten by those two evil-hearted uncles.
If you are harmed, is the Sun family a place where people can stay? If you marry someone, you may not behave like a human being in a few years."
The two chattered like this until midnight, when Feng Ziying hugged Siqi and fell asleep. They slept until the beginning of the morning, and Siqi quietly got dressed and got up. Then, while it was still dark, he went out to Jia She's yard.
The gate to the Grand View Garden could not be opened at that time, so I had to go to my house to rest for a while before looking for an opportunity to enter the garden.
Looking at the dark circles under Baoxiang's eyes, Feng Ziying also knew that this boy was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well all night, so he ordered someone to bring a carriage and prepared to go back to the house.
Baoxiang had just gone out when he saw Yuanyang rushing in angrily. Before Feng Ziying could say anything, Yuanyang looked for the lantern in the yard and wanted to go out without even saying hello.
Feng Ziying reacted after being stunned, and quickly stepped forward to hug her. Yuanyang was shy and anxious, but did not dare to speak loudly, so she could only scold in a low voice: "Sir, be respectful and let go!"
"I won't let go. If Yuanyang doesn't talk to me, I won't let go. Even if someone comes, in the worst case, I will go and talk to the old lady. The Feng family will be short of Yuanyang, otherwise we won't be able to have fun."
Feng Ziying said with a smile.
"Bah!" Yuanyang said angrily: "Quickly go find your ruby chess player, why bother bothering this slave girl?"
"That's different. Yuanyang is special and different from everyone else." Feng Ziying naturally understood her daughter's family's thoughts and said shamelessly.
Yuanyang was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was still stern, "Don't fool me with these sweet words. Whoever you want to have a good relationship with is also your business and has nothing to do with me..."
"Then I want to get along well with Yuanyang?" Feng Ziying hugged Yuanyang's shoulders with bright eyes.
"If my slave doesn't agree, do you still want to force me?" Feng Ziying looked at her in a panic, Yuanyang said in a trembling voice.
"Humph, I have to get what I want, but I don't disdain force, so I want to be a mandarin duck." Feng Ziying spoke loudly.
Forced by Feng Ziying, Yuanyang could only say bitterly: "I was so romantic last night, how could I still remember Yuanyang?"
"Yuanyang is not satisfied with what happened last night?" Feng Ziying said calmly: "Siqi is also Yuanyang's sister who grew up together, right? I did accept her. Anyway, the second sister will be married next month. As for Hongyu
, that is also a coincidence, I will talk to Yuanyang in detail in the future. Yuanyang, you also know my temperament, and you will never let anyone down. At worst, you will have a reputation as a lecherous and romantic person. I don’t have a bad reputation in this capital city.
No, I don’t care.”
Yuanyang felt a little touched and whispered: "I have a good reputation in the capital city. Where does the bad reputation come from? Even if I have it, it is just the slander and slander of those corrupt officials and their families."
