Standing up and getting another blessing, Ping'er whispered: "Grandma, what I mean is, don't be busy now. If you need it, come and pick it up later. If it's inconvenient in the future, see if you can put it in a convenient money store."
Inside, it will be easier to access."
"Oh, your grandma is really good at planning. I lent her the money, but she had to put it in the money shop. Well, it goes in and out, tsk tsk,..."
Feng Ziying shook her head and clicked her tongue. She was so ashamed that Ping'er couldn't even lift her head.
How could Ping'er not know that his grandma had a good idea?
Borrowing money from the Feng family originally requires the lowest interest, but it has to be deposited in the money shop. There is still a profit. The two offset each other, and there is basically not much expense. It is equivalent to using the Feng family's money to do this.
A deal is done.
She also asked her grandma, but Sister Feng said without hesitation that she should take advantage of it if she could. Maybe the Jia family would have to pay a girl to the Feng family in the future.
Ping'er was also surprised by these words, but Sister Feng refused to say more, so she couldn't ask more questions.
After many calculations, it seems that there are only four girls in this house.
Yuanchun has already entered the palace to become a female historian, so it is unlikely that she will get married after leaving the palace, and she is also five or six years older than the eldest son of the Feng family, so there are only three girls left.
Yingchun is the sister of the second master Lian, and Tanchun is the sister of Baoyu. One is the daughter of the eldest master, and the other is the daughter of the second master. But the problem is that both of them are concubines. How could the Feng family marry a daughter of a concubine?
A few years ago, when Feng Dalang had not yet gained such fame and power, it might have been possible. Now, Ping'er believed that the Feng family would definitely not agree to this marriage.
Then there is only one choice left, and that is Xichun, the fourth girl from Dongfu.
Xichun is Uncle Zhen's younger sister. She is a legitimate child, but she is several years older than Uncle Feng. It seems that Uncle Zhen has never paid much attention to this sister, otherwise he would not be asked by the old lady to raise her in the West Mansion.
With.
In addition, Uncle Zhen's reputation in Dongfu has never been very good, so it would be difficult for the Feng family to agree to this marriage.
I'm not sure what Wang Xifeng meant by what he said. Ping'er doesn't believe that the second and third girls can be concubines for others. Even if the Feng family's eldest son is admitted to Jinshi, he probably won't be able to do so. The Jia family is also a noble family.
, even if the two girls are concubines, they cannot be concubines.
Seeing Ping'er, she bowed her head in shame and remained silent. Of course Feng Ziying knew that the other person was just here to run errands, and if she continued talking, it would be a bit like teasing her, which was inappropriate.
"Forget it, Miss Ping'er, it's not you who has the final say on this matter. Your grandma is really good at calculating people's ideas. Just do what your grandma said. If she has fifty thousand taels of silver,
If you want money, just say it and I will ask the government to deposit it into a bank account for her, and let her arrange everything, okay?"
Ping'er came here to ask for these words. He stood up and bowed to Yingying again, "Thank you very much, Uncle Feng. This is an IOU. Please keep it, Uncle Feng."
After he finished speaking, Ping'er realized what he was doing and was surprised, "Uncle Feng, it's twenty thousand taels, not fifty thousand taels."
"Well, I know." Feng Ziying glanced at it casually, then called Yun Shang to come in and send this IOU to her aunt, and then said slowly: "Maybe twenty thousand taels is not enough? Your second grandma is
People are lavish in doing things, and managing all parties is definitely not small, so I prepared some more for her, and you can just go back and report to your grandma."
Ping'er was quite surprised. The second mistress had never mentioned this matter. How could the Feng family's eldest son become so generous?
Do you really want to marry the second girl as a betrothal gift? This betrothal gift is too expensive, doesn’t it make sense?
If it is really a betrothal gift, it should be presented openly and honestly, and it is for the eldest man, so it is not the second mistress’s turn.
Ping'er was a little confused, but seeing Feng Ziying's serious look, he didn't want to ask more questions, so he could only say yes.
"Miss Ping'er, besides, your grandma is doing this, aren't you afraid that the government will know about it? Second brother Lian will be running around for a long time from now on, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get home for long." Feng Ziying reminded: "
This matter cannot be hidden."
"Grandma said, there is no need to deliberately hide anything. Since the public money is not used, there is nothing to hide. If asked, they will only say that the second master went to help a friend, then no one can say anything.
"Ping'er is quite calm.
Feng Ziying didn't expect Wang Xifeng to have such courage and dare to point it out, but what he said was correct. Jia Lian went to help his friends. As for whether he earned more or less, that was Jia Lian's own business and had nothing to do with Rongguo Mansion.
"Well, it seems that your second grandma has made up her mind, so I won't say much. It's just that your second grandma has the unshirkable responsibility for matters related to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs over there. That's the key."
After some warnings, Feng Ziying watched the pretty girl leave.
Unknowingly, Feng Ziying found that she had gradually gotten to know almost all the famous characters in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions". The only ones left were the two from the Xue family, Xue Baochai and Xiang Ling, and Xue Baochai.
Big fools don't count.
No, there are quite a few more, including Miaoyu, Xing Xiuyan, Xue Baoqin, by the way, Shi Xiangyun, and the fiery Qingwen among the girls is not there either.
Thinking of this, he was really looking forward to seeing what Sister Bao looked like, with her fragrant pink and white skin all over her body, and what those other women who were also leading the way were like.
He has seen this Lin girl countless times. To be honest, although she has gradually grown, revealing a delicate and delicate look, she is still too young to feel the charm, but in terms of age, this Baochai
She should be three years older than Daiyu, which means she is about the same age as herself. That's really telling.

"You mean that the eldest son of the Feng family went to Wang Shilang's house, and the two discussed for more than an hour?" Lu Song gently stroked his chin, put one hand behind his back, and paced back and forth in the not spacious public room.
"Sir, it's almost an hour and a half." The subordinate standing at the door said softly.
"Do you know what the two of them were talking about?" Lu Song also knew that this was a bit difficult to do. After all, he was also the military governor of the Beijing camp and the right minister of the Ministry of War. It took a lot of effort to place someone in his house.
"I didn't know." The subordinate lowered his head, "His study room and small courtyard are forbidden areas in the mansion. Except for himself and two long-term followers who have followed him for twenty years, including his family members, no one can enter.
When he was favored, he sent soup into the house, but he was expelled from the house afterwards."
"Haha, this Wang Shilang is running the government in a military way." Lu Song chuckled disdainfully, "Then can his two sons go in?"
"No, Wang De was drunk last year and tried to enter the small inner courtyard. As a result, Wang Ziteng personally punished him twenty times with a cane. He was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for ten days."
"Oh?" Lu Song was stunned. It was reasonable not to let his concubine in, but not even his son was allowed in. This shows that this person is really cautious in these aspects.
"What else?" Lu Song stood in front of the window, with his back to the door, looking into the distance for a long time.
"It is said that the prince's palace received another piece of calligraphy the next day. I don't know if it is related to this."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Lu Song became interested and turned around.
"On the first day, all the people the prince saw were people from the army. There were a group of people from Gansu Town, Yulin Town, Jingying and Beicheng Bingma Division. There were no other outsiders. Only this Feng family man had never seen him before.
After boarding the door,..."
"Have you ever found out where this calligraphy treasure came from?" Lu Song asked urgently.
"No, there is not enough time..." Before the subordinate could finish his words, he was scolded by Lu Song: "How can such things be delayed? Why don't we find out quickly!"
After his subordinates left, Lu Song took another deep breath and thought quietly.
When the Feng family leader was first brought into their sight, the people below were a little disapproving, especially Zhang Jin, who thought it was making a fuss out of a molehill. But now it seems that it is a wise move. The Feng family still needs to arrange reliable people.
Keep an eye on.
Just because this guy is gaining more weight in front of Qi Yongtai, this line will continue to follow.
Lu Song knew the emperor's thoughts. It was a foregone conclusion that Qi Yongtai would come out. The emperor should have communicated well with him, and he would probably take up the hot position of left minister in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It is said that Qi Yongtai would rather go to the Ministry of Husbandry.
But the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor probably didn't agree, probably because they were worried that this one person would start a fire.
Thinking of Hubu, Lu Song couldn't help but shake his head. It was really a pit of fire, but Qi Yongtai was still willing to jump. He wasn't afraid of burning himself to ashes? Sometimes once the fire started, even the emperor couldn't save it.
Qi Yongtai has indeed been quite influential in the past few years while he has been dormant at Qingtan Academy. In the last spring, three students from Qingtan Academy became Shujishi. After these three years, at least one or two will enter the Hanlin Academy.
, one or two others will also be reused.
In the next spring period, it is said that the talents of Qingtan Academy are even more prosperous. People like Han Jing, Xu Xie, Lian Guoshi, Song Tongyin, Fang Zhenru, Ye Tinggui and others are all among the best. Once these people pass the Jinshi examination, the reputation of Qingtan Academy will be
will be even bigger, and Qi Yongtai's momentum will also increase.
Lu Song was also more interested in Feng Ziying, who was increasingly valued in front of Qi Yongtai. A martial arts disciple could become Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia, Guan Yingzhen and others in such a short period of time.
The darling of the scholars and civil servants, whom even the military men looked down upon, had to be given more attention.
Thinking of this, Lu Song couldn't help but laugh. When did Long Jinwei become so interested in a thirteen-year-old academy student? It was even worth spending more thought on than his father who might be the commander-in-chief of a foreign town?
