As soon as I walked into the middle courtyard of Lixiangyuan, I heard Xue Pan's roar: "Why are you specifically asking our Xue family to borrow money? Didn't you borrow 20,000 taels last time? Why are you here again, 15,000 taels?
Is it over yet?”
Feng Ziying glanced at Ying'er who was waiting for her to come in. Ying'er also had a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
"The day before yesterday, the wife over there and Mistress Lian came to the house to talk to our wife about the imperial concubine's Lantern Festival lantern festival. She said that the imperial concubine wanted to meet my girl specially. They talked a lot, but in the end they got around to asking for a loan of 10,000 yuan.
Regarding the five thousand taels of silver, my wife said that we didn’t have that much in the house, and the lady over there didn’t say anything. Later, Mistress Lian said she could see if she could think of a way..."
"Why did Wen Long know about it again?" Feng Ziying frowned. Could it be that Xue Pan still has to take care of the Xue family's economic power now? Xue Pan didn't have this habit before.
"The uncle is much better now than before, and the wife has to discuss many things with the uncle and the girl."
In the past, Xue Pan was indeed not asked to ask about these things. He was just messing around. But now as Xue Pan seems to be showing signs of changing his mind, Aunt Xue has begun to gradually delegate power. At least she has to talk to Xue Pan about many things.
After all, he is also the eldest son of the Xue family.
"Oh, then your girl also knows?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but shake her head.
According to Jia Lian, the Jia family must have hit a wall with the Wang family, but this year they have to live a good life, and the imperial concubine also needs to lose face. Although Sister Lin has money, it is in her own hands, and the Jia family also has
It was hard to borrow too much, so in desperation, I had to look for the Xue family and pick it up hard.
"Of course the girl knows, but the girl didn't say anything, but the uncle has rarely been to the West Mansion in the past two years. He even spends more time going to the East Mansion than to the West Mansion, so he is not very satisfied with the West Mansion.
…”
Yinger said it very tactfully, and Feng Ziying also found it funny, "Ying'er, I'm afraid Wenlong is not satisfied with Baoyu, right? I see that Brother Lian calls Wenlong up from time to time."
Ying'er nodded without concealing anything: "The uncle and the second master Bao have had several quarrels, so now they don't see each other very often. The uncle even threatened that the second master Bao is not allowed to come to the house..."
"That's a bit much. They are cousins after all, so why do they do this?" Feng Ziying shook her head, but kept walking into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Xue Pan angrily coming out of the room: "Since you want to ask me, I won't agree. If I don't agree, you will say that I am ignorant and unreasonable. I have such a bad temper. Mother and
My sister knows this, so why bother asking me?"
Facing this future brother-in-law, Feng Ziying didn't pay much attention, "Wenlong, why are you so unreasonable?"
"Ziying, you came just in time. Why do you think I'm unreasonable? Is it reasonable for the Jia family to come to borrow money?" I thought Feng Ziying would forgive me, but I didn't expect Feng Ziying to hit me in the face, which made Xue Pan even more angry.
.
"Of course it makes sense." Feng Ziying held down the opponent's shoulders. Xue Pan continued to struggle, but Feng Ziying's strength was not comparable to his. He struggled, and then blushed, "Is it possible that Ziying still wants to speak for Baoyu?"
?”
"What does borrowing money have to do with Baoyu? This is related to the face of the Jia family, the Xue family and the Wang family. Who is it?" Feng Ziying forcefully pulled Xue Pan into the outer courtyard where Xue Pan lived.
"You're just a fool, unreasonable, and don't ask questions clearly, so you act like this and don't make your mother and sister sad?"
"Hmph, since it is the honor of King Jia and the Xue family, why don't you borrow money from the Wang family, but insist on borrowing money from our Xue family?" Xue Pan was still angry.
"Who said that we are only looking at your Xue family for borrowing money? Didn't I borrow money?" Feng Ziying said with a smile: "You are usually generous and generous, why are you so concerned about this A Du thing this time?"
"Ah, Ziying, the Jia family also borrowed money from you? Did you borrow it?" Xue Pan was shocked. The Jia family, the Xue family, and the Wang family were relatives, so it was natural for them to borrow money, but borrowing money from the Feng family
It's a little out of order.
"How can you not borrow it?" Feng Ziying said calmly: "Sister Lin and I are already engaged, and I will marry your sister in the future. This has a relationship with the Jia family that I can't figure out. How can we still have a relationship for a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver?
Is it done?"
"Hmph, the Jia family is also very smooth. I just came to the capital city. I saw that the Jia family has great scenery. I thought that the Ningrong second family house was really glamorous. I didn't expect that it would be missed in just a few years.
Donger, Brother Zhen and Brother Rong are also selling this and that all day long, borrowing money from everywhere to pay off, and hiding it from me. The same is true now in Rongguo Mansion. I don’t know that they are borrowing money here and there.
How long can it last?"
Xue Pan's words made Feng Ziying feel a little impressed. He didn't expect that this guy had changed so much after sitting in the Daguan Tower for more than a year. Maybe it was because there were three religions and nine schools in that place. He could see all kinds of people and know all kinds of things.
The experience must have touched this guy a lot, and he has actually become a lot more mature.
"Ziying, I'm not reluctant to part with the ten thousand or twenty thousand silver. Although the Xue family is not rich now, they can still get more than ten thousand taels of silver if they squeeze it. I am not angry with the Jia family's behavior. The Wang family
You refused even if you said no, why can’t we, the Xue family, say even a little less? You can’t do this if you force yourself to do it, right?”
These words were so reasonable and logical that Feng Ziying had to give Xue Pan a thumbs up.
"That's what I said, but Wenlong, you have to consider your mother's feelings. The Jia family is indeed in difficulty now, and you should be considerate as a relative. After all, the wife of the Jia family and your mother are biological sisters. This relationship cannot be achieved by other relationships.
Comparatively, you have to think about how sad your mother is with your attitude. Comparing your feelings to yourself, if your sister and I get married and have a child, and the child treats you like this when he grows up, how can you, an uncle, treat you like this?
How about that?"
Feng Ziying's words made Xue Pan bow his head and remain silent. He didn't know the relationship between his mother and his aunt. The Jia family and the Xue family were really in a situation where both prospered and suffered losses, and they specially allocated this Lixiangyuan.
To accommodate his family, even when he got into trouble in Jinling before, it was the Jia family and the Wang family who helped him, and he had to recognize this friendship.
"This time, the eldest daughter has been given the title of concubine to go home to visit relatives. This is because the emperor values the Jia family. The Xue family and the Wang family can also get some glory. It is also appropriate for us relatives to help out. Besides, this garden
After the imperial concubine's wedding, it cannot be empty. In the future, it will be difficult for outsiders to move in, but your sister can stay there temporarily for a while."
Feng Ziying's words finally made Xue Pan nod, but they brought up another topic, "Ziying, speaking of this, since you and the sister of the Lin family are engaged, what are your plans for my sister? I
Let me say it again, my sister cannot be a concubine. If you betray my sister, no matter how bad I am, Xue Wenlong, I will never be with you forever..."
Feng Ziying didn't expect that Xue Pan, a stupid young man, remembered this very firmly, but she was a little moved by the brother-sister relationship this guy had for Baochai.
"Wen Long, I, Feng Ziying, keep my word. When have I ever broken a promise?" Feng Ziying patted Xue Pan on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will naturally give an explanation to Sister Bao. You'd better go where this matter comes from."
Your mother apologizes and doesn't get on aunt's mind."
Xue Pan was also a straight-tempered fellow. After being persuaded by Feng Ziying, he nodded and agreed to apologize to his mother.
Here Feng Ziying also stepped into Baochai's room gracefully.
"Brother Feng, are you and your brother okay?" Baochai looked worried. Although she believed that her lover could definitely subdue her brother, she was still afraid that if her brother got angry, it would damage the relationship between the two of them.
"Sister, you can't even trust me? When will Wenlong be able to please me?" Feng Ziying was half-joking. Seeing Baochai's face change color, she quickly said: "Don't worry, I criticized Wenlong."
, he has already gone to admit his mistake to his aunt."
"Really?" Baochai was extremely surprised. Her brother had pushed her mother so hard that her eyes were red. As soon as her brother left, her mother wiped her tears. She never thought that her lover could actually convince her brother to admit his mistake, "Brother Feng, you
What do you mean by brother?"
"I said that the Jia and Xue families are all relatives, so they naturally have to support each other. This aunt and the wife over there are both blood relatives. How could Wenlong have such an attitude? I made another analogy. Suppose you and I have a relationship in the future.
Child, if the child treats his uncle like this when he grows up, what will he think? Wenlong also thinks that what I said is right..."
Feng Ziying saw Baochai suddenly become shy at that moment, and couldn't help but raise her sleeves to cover her face. She was obviously stimulated by Feng Ziying's too straightforward metaphor.
Baochai really didn't expect her lover to use this kind of metaphor. It was too explicit. Fortunately, it was her stupid brother over there. If it had been anyone else, it would have been too much.
"Brother Feng!" Baochai was so shy that she stamped her feet and yelled.
"Ah? Does my sister think I made a mistake?" Feng Ziying pretended to be surprised, "But I am telling the truth. If I marry my sister in the future, will we still have children? If I can marry my sister next year, how about having children?
It’s something that will happen the year after tomorrow at most, right?”
Baochai was so frightened and blushing at Feng Ziying's words that she had never seen such a scoundrel like Feng Ziying, so she could only hide her face and go into the back room.
Feng Ziying followed.
"Brother Feng, if you say such words again, my little sister will ignore you." Although Baochai is extremely sweet in her heart, she must remain reserved on the surface, "Besides, who knows when what Brother Feng said...
"
"Sister, don't you believe me?" Feng Ziying pretended to sigh, "Actually, there is an opportunity now, but we need to carefully consider the pros and cons."
Baochai was refreshed and could no longer hide her face. She quickly turned around and asked, "Brother Feng, what did you say?"
