Renzi Scroll, Section 157: The Madness Before the Fall
The conversation with Mei Zhiye lasted for half an hour, but Feng Ziying was a little surprised by how smoothly it went.
Although Mei Zhiye also raised some questions and difficulties, Feng Ziying felt that the questions raised by the other party were not to set up obstacles, but actually existed. He also answered them and put forward some ideas on how to resolve them. Mei Zhiye finally
Still accepted Feng Ziying's explanation and agreed to continue to increase grain reserves in accordance with Feng Ziying's opinions to cope with possible difficulties this winter and next spring.
Afterwards, Feng Ziying also seriously considered that the reason why Mei Zhiye was so cooperative may be due to several factors.
Wu Daonan is about to leave office. He has to take charge of government affairs, and it would be unwise to go against him again. Song Xian's obedience may also have touched him a little; in addition, during this period, the court valued him, and the scholars in the North
He was almost in alliance with the Huguang scholars. He, Mei Zhiye, was also a Huguang scholar. There must have been Huguang scholars who greeted him, so this also contributed to the change in the other party's attitude.
This is a good thing.
After all, Mei Zhiye is in charge of Zhongzhong, and the area of wealth he is in charge of is very important. In theory, as the official in charge of the area of wealth, even as the Prime Minister, he has no power to directly intervene, let alone his own.
Some requests are obviously inconsistent with the rules. If the other party refuses, it will be really troublesome.
In the face of various difficult situations that may come, Feng Ziying does not want there to be discord within the Shuntian Mansion. Now Mei Zhiye's obedience also means a good start.
A general judgment will definitely have a positive impact.
There is nothing that can be done about it. If you are not qualified enough and your reputation is not justified, some tricks and compromises are unavoidable.
Song Xian's surrender was expected. He was already leaning towards himself. With the situation clear now, the official also expected to take a step higher in his official career in the future. However, Mei Zhiye's cooperation was an unexpected surprise and worth it.
celebrate.
This also means that the main officials of the entire Shuntian Prefecture are basically under their control, and the next step is to adjust the lower states and counties.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying thought that she had to deal with the Ministry of Personnel. Chai Ke, the left minister, had not said that he would definitely support her strongly. The key was Gao Panlong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Gao Panlong has a serious personality, but to be honest, he is not good at general affairs. Fortunately, he is a minister. He only needs to grasp the overall direction of official promotion, so he is still competent. Chai Ke has experienced many positions, so for
He is good at general affairs, so as long as Gao Panlong is not particularly opposed to it, there will be no problem.
But no matter what, Feng Ziying still had to meet Gao Panlong. Once Wu Daonan left office, the Shuntian Prefecture Minister was vacant. He was acting as the Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister, so no matter whether there was a chance to take over the Shuntian Prefecture Governorship in the future,
, or changing to another position, you will inevitably have to go through the hurdle of reaching a higher level, so it is quite necessary to make good friends, or maintain the necessary respect, and win a good impression.
Secondly, I wanted to move three of them at once and let He Fengsheng, Fan Jingwen and Wu Yan all come to Shuntian Mansion. This was obviously against the rules, but again, extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times. The current situation is turbulent, and we are facing the North and South.
In the situation of confrontation and war, the stability of Shuntian Mansion is very necessary. Feng Ziying can use this reason to persuade Gao Panlong.
The carriage was stopped at the entrance of Fengcheng Hutong.
Feng Ziying was a little surprised, and when she took a look, she realized it was Li Wan's personal maid Suyun.
Feng Ziying was not familiar with the people around Li Wan, but Xiuxiyun was Li Wan's personal maid. He had met her a few times and had some impressions of her.
Seeing the girl's pale face, she must have been waiting at the entrance of the alley for a long time. The weather has cooled down, so it's hard for the girl.
The guards around him were very vigilant and kept Su Yun outside. They only allowed Su Yun to come in after getting Feng Ziying's permission.
After Suyun climbed into the car and entered the compartment, Feng Ziying asked gently: "Did Grandma Zhu ask you to come?"
Su Yue kowtowed in the carriage, then raised her head and said: "Reporting to the uncle, I came to see the uncle on the order of the eldest grandma. Grandma wants to see the uncle."
Feng Ziying frowned, "What do you mean, grandma, you won't meet in my house or go to Rongguo Mansion?"
Suyun blushed.
That day, after grandma and Uncle Feng had a wild get-together in the mountains, she was the one who took a bath and wiped her body for grandma. The various bruises and black marks on grandma's body also frightened her, and Li Wan did not hide it from Suyun, so he took the two
Talk about personal relationships between people.
Suyun was still young when Li Wan married Jia Zhu and became a couple, so she didn't understand it at all, so she only had a vague understanding of such things, but it was only when she saw all traces of Li Wan that day that she understood
Once the excitement started, she would be so drunk and crazy, so Feng Ziying's words made her couldn't help but think elsewhere.
After knowing the affair between Feng Ziying and her grandmother, Suyun naturally did not dare to disclose it, but she didn't think it was anything.
Uncle Feng is not only charming and suave, but also the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, a fourth-grade official. He is also a well-known figure in the Rongguo Mansion. Even the two masters and the ancestors are particularly respected. For such a figure to be so young, the young Mu Ai also
Very normal.
My grandma is only in her twenties. Unfortunately, she has been widowed for a long time. Now she finally has an affair with Uncle Feng. This is nothing new in a wealthy family. My grandma has been a widow for ten years.
, he is quite steadfast, and it is inevitable that he will be moved by someone like Uncle Feng.
Suyun also heard from the maids in the house that Uncle Feng was a man who valued affection, justice, knowledge and understanding. The second girl was the most typical example. After agreeing to take the second girl in, he tried every means to bring the second girl back.
to the Feng family.
Because of this, the Jia family is now facing a catastrophe. The whole family is in panic all the time. Naturally, they have turned their attention to Feng Ziying. However, after Feng Ziying came here, she also talked a lot with everyone, making many people aware of many things.
Even Feng Ziying cannot do everything.
Suyun was also entrusted by Li Wan to come to see Feng Ziying, not for Li Wan himself, but for his son Jia Lan.
She didn't want to see her son's possible future come to an end with the destruction of the Jia family.
"Uncle, it's hard for grandma to come to your house, but it's not convenient to go to Rongguo Mansion now. If you want to go, many people will definitely gather around you..." Su Yun blushed and said, "Grandma doesn't want to be disturbed.
,…”
"Don't want to be disturbed?" Feng Ziying repeated subconsciously, but it made Suyun's hair as hot as a burning cloud. She thought Feng Ziying did this intentionally, and thought in her heart why this man spoke so strangely, but she could only think in her heart
He cursed secretly, bit his lip and said, "Why don't you find a suitable place? Grandma wants to see you."
Feng Ziying thought for a while, and there were only two places she could go to. One was Ma Xiang Hutong, and the other was behind Huimin Pharmacy, which was directly adjacent to Feng Deng Hutong. That was the house where Wang Xifeng originally lived, but Feng Ziying immediately realized that this place
He couldn't go. If he did, his relationship with Wang Xifeng would be exposed immediately. Li Wan would definitely be suspicious of why he had the key to the house where Wang Xifeng lived. It would be difficult to explain.
After much calculation, we still had to go to Ma Xiang Hutong, but Mrs. You still lives there. Although she has always been tight-lipped, she is not too sure after all.
However, she couldn't find a suitable place at this time. At this time, Feng Ziying felt that maybe she should buy one or two more houses and put them aside, so as to avoid being caught blind when she was in urgent need.
Now we can only go to Ma Xiang Hutong first.
"Okay, where is grandma?" Feng Ziying asked.
"It's just around the corner at the end of the alley. Grandma also came by carriage." Su Yue replied.
"Then you go and ask the carriage to follow my carriage and go to the alley of Zouma Lane." Feng Ziying nodded.
The group of people quickly ran towards Ma Xiang Hutong. Fortunately, the team of guards following Feng Ziying were already accustomed to Feng Ziying's temporary actions. They only followed the guards for safety and ignored other matters.
After parking the car outside the house, Baoxiang knocked on the door again. You Lao Niang was also there. When he saw Baoxiang coming, he understood after a moment of confusion, and left voluntarily and knowingly. Baoxiang also stuffed her with two
Ten taels of silver actually made Mrs. You very happy.
Li Wan's carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and he got out of the carriage, put on his curtain hat, and entered the alley with Su Yue's support. When he walked in, he met Mrs. You across from him.
Madam You had long suspected it, but Li Wan was wearing a curtain and covering his face. She couldn't see his face clearly. She just felt that the situation was different from the last time she saw it. She also murmured in her heart why her uncle was so right.
This kind of woman is so interested. Could it be that the wives and concubines in the house can't satisfy this gentleman, or does this gentleman just like this tune?
Li Wan entered the house and found that although the house was not big, it was extremely clean and tidy. Looking at the furniture and beds in the house, it didn't look like it had been unoccupied for a long time. At least it was cleaned regularly.
Feng Ziying motioned for Li Wan to take a seat, but Li Wan was a little uneasy.
Suyun didn't know whether she should stay in the house or wait outside. She didn't go out until she saw Feng Ziying's gesture.
After Su Yun went out, Feng Ziying stood up and approached Li Wan.
Li Wan was startled and subconsciously wanted to avoid him, but when Feng Ziying reached out and hooked him, he rolled into Feng Ziying's arms. After struggling feebly for two times, he collapsed and murmured: "You know this, and you don't care about what's going on in other people's hearts."
How anxious.”
Feng Ziying was also stunned. He really didn't think about what Li Wan said. He just wanted to hold Li Wan and talk. Unexpectedly, Li Wan misunderstood. But at this time, Li Wan had already taken off the curtain.
Wearing a hat and covering her face, her face was flushed, her brows were like water, and her body was even hotter. She was curled up in her arms. What did Feng Ziying, who had been here for a long time, not understand?
I sighed secretly in my heart, but I also knew that I couldn't ruin the scenery at this time. I thought that I had only had fun on the mountain that day, and there would be no chance again. Today was considered a rare one, so I simply put my hands into Li Wan's light green skirt.
He took off the plain white sweat towel from Li Wan's green trousers, picked up Li Wan, put him on the kang, and started to relax on the edge of the kang...
