But it is said that Jia Lian returned to the mansion and reported to his father and uncle Jia Zheng, and also reported the situation to Mrs. Shi.
If it were an ordinary thing, Jia She and Jia Zheng wouldn't care.
The Feng family has been on a decline in the past two years. Feng Tang has been idle in Beijing since he was dismissed. It is probably because he feels that he is getting farther and farther away from the Four Kings and Eight Gongs, so he is not as close to him as he was in Datong.
But this time, he saved his own niece regardless of life and death, and the younger generation is different. At least he has to express his gratitude, so as not to say that the Jia family has lost etiquette.
That's why Jia Lian was specifically asked to come to express his feelings.
"Father, second uncle, and uncle Feng Shi also met with me specially and said that maybe Feng Ziying was too tired yesterday and didn't get up from bed. After getting up, he asked Feng Ziying to come to the house to pay his respects."
"Well, that's right. After all, Feng Ziying is only twelve years old. Even though he is brave, he is still a young man. I am afraid he has suffered a lot of frights." Jia She stroked his beard and nodded, "Second brother, I will leave it to you at this time.
Lian'er and the others have gone to deal with it. If mother is interested, Lian'er, just take Feng Ziying to see mother."
Jia She made the decision, and Jia Zheng nodded in agreement, "That's right. We elders won't go. Mother met him and it was considered as expressing our feelings. But brother, I also heard from the Ministry of Industry in the past two days.
Mr. Cao Cao, Mr. Li, was decisive and forceful in handling the Linqing Civil War and had the courage to take responsibility. The emperor was very happy. Mr. Cao Cao would arrive in Beijing in the next few days. Originally, there was still controversy about his concurrent appointment as the governor of the river, but now it is basically the same.
There is no suspense anymore.”
Jia Zheng signs in at the Ministry of Works every day. Although he has little ability, he is diligent and will share this kind of news with other colleagues when he has nothing to do in the yamen.
When Li Sancai was serving as a political counselor in Nanjing, there were letters from the Jia family in Jinling mentioning that this person was quite smart and capable. Unexpectedly, he became the governor of water transportation so quickly.
Although the Governor of Water Transport is nominally held concurrently by the Imperial Censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, many affairs are actually intertwined with the Ministry of Works. Li Sancai may one day take up an important position in the Ministry of Works, that is,
He couldn't take over directly as the Minister, but at least he had to serve as the Zuo Shilang. Even the Right Shilang could not suppress his current momentum.
Jia She didn't feel much about this.
He felt that his second brother, who hung out in the Ministry of Industry all day long, was obviously in a very lucrative position, but he had not seen any benefits for the children of the Jia family over the years.
Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Yun and other children in the next few rooms are getting older. If they can't study well, they have to make a living. But he, the second uncle, has to either knock the wooden clock in the Yamen or go back to his hometown.
He hangs out with a group of Qingqing in the mansion and has no idea of making a living for the children of the family. Jia She also looks down on him, but he doesn't say much.
Hearing Jia Zheng talk about Li Sancai today, he felt even more disdainful.
No matter who becomes the minister, as long as my second brother looks like him, good things will not happen to him.
If Jia Zhu is still there, we can still think about it, but now looking at the embryos of Baoyu and Jia Huan, they probably don't have the seeds to study, especially Baoyu, who is regarded by her mother as a gem, that is, a demon king who is locked up at home.
Lord.
It's just that Jia Lian is not good at reading, but Jia Cong is still young and can't tell it yet. He needs to be well disciplined and see if he can add a scholar to the Jia family.
When it was learned that Feng Ziying would come to visit, the Jia family was already bustling with excitement.
When the mother-in-law returned to Jia's house, she had already vividly described all the experiences she had experienced in Linqing Prefecture. She even told the story of how she took Feng Ziying out of the house to seek help from Dongchang Prefecture and then fought back to Linqing, mixed with Ruixiang's words.
The bragging and imagining of the story, then adding extra details, made it into a legendary story that could have been told by a storyteller in a teahouse on the street.
Most of the people in Jia's residence were women and children who had never been out much. Naturally, everyone was fascinated by this vivid legend. They also seemed to have an impression of the Feng family child who had been here two years ago.
It became blurry.
"I don't have the slightest impression of this Feng family brother. I never thought he could do such an ordinary thing. Now that even the imperial court knows about it, he might be a blessing." The enchanting woman sitting next to him said
He picked up a grape with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, his bright red lips were glossy and smooth, "My ancestors were right. They said he had good fortune in the past few days. Unexpectedly, even my uncle mentioned this brother of the Feng family yesterday.
.”
"The Feng family is also a loyal and brave family. The Feng family brother really has this kind of temperament. The Feng family's Sanlang also came to see me when he was young in the past, but he has been in Datong these years. He comes less often, and when he comes he is always with the boss.
The second brother and the others recited the rituals." Old Mrs. Shi also recalled, "I remember that year the Feng family's eldest son died in battle outside the Great Wall, and the court also gave him a reward. Later, the Feng family's second son also fell ill and died, because he was also on the battlefield.
A reward was given, but the title of Shenwu General can only be achieved by Feng Jiasanlang."
"But I heard that Mr. Feng seems to be a little unhappy in the past two years. Last month at my uncle's house, I heard my aunt mention that Mr. Feng wanted to return to Datong, but the court has not yet approved it."
The enchanting and romantic young woman is naturally Wang Xifeng. She wears a dazzling dragonfly jade-shaped buckle on a large red silk blouse with golden pink butterflies and stamens. She wears a nine-piece emerald orchid skirt. She has a slender and graceful figure. She chuckles and is full of charm.
.
These words made Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and even Li Wan who were sitting on the other side understand some of the meaning. That is, Feng Tang is still idle at home and wants to find a position but can't.
Wang Ziteng, who was the governor of the Beijing camp and the minister of the Ministry of War, also helped.
On the other hand, the few young girls below didn't understand. They just pursed their lips and smiled while listening to what the elders said.
"Well, I'm afraid Sanlang Feng is not much younger than the eldest and second eldest brother, so he still wants to go to the border? Even if he is brave, he doesn't have to be like this, right?" Mrs. Shi asked with some doubts.
"Perhaps because I'm used to that kind of life, I feel uncomfortable sitting at home now." Jia Lian hurriedly spoke, "I think Uncle Feng's family looks very energetic."
The people above were talking, and the people below were also muttering.
"Sister Lin, have you seen that brother of the Feng family, but as the women in the house said, he is eight feet tall and as heroic as the Erlang Zhenjun?"
The young man with his hair tied up in a purple gold crown and two dragons grabbing beads and wiping his forehead with a ribbon is naturally Jia Baoyu. He has a big face like a crown jewel and is really cute when he smiles, but in Lin Daiyu's eyes it is too much.
A bit naive and childish.
But in my uncle's house, this one person is the god, and everyone else has to revolve around him.
Although she has only been here for more than ten days, Lin Daiyu, who was reminded by Feng Ziying, has gradually adapted to the life of being dependent on others at her uncle's house. Fortunately, the sisters at home get along very well, so she has this tired girl who talks nonsense every day.
Even my lazy cousin, Lin Daiyu, can endure it.
"How can this be true? He is just taller than the average person of that age, but not as tall as Brother Lian." Lin Daiyu said lightly: "It's just spreading rumors and exaggerating. Doesn't my uncle often teach Brother Bao not to listen?
When the wind blows, it rains, so you should spend more time reading some serious books."
Knowing that her cousin was very afraid of her uncle, Lin Daiyu would mention her uncle's name from time to time, so that her cousin would often "sober up" and not become a fool.
Sometimes I was too lazy to quarrel with my cousin, so I just asked my personal maid, who had been renamed Zijuan, to lie about seeing the second master coming back home, which frightened Na Baoyu and hurriedly ran away to the school.
