Chapter 167 A Day in the Jia Mansion (Continued)
Just as Feng Ziying and Ping'er were talking here and gradually entering Hong Kong, the big house over there finally came to rest after the battle.
After dismissing Feng'er who wiped her body clean, Wang Xifeng lay lazily on the kang, letting the hand of the man next to her harass her.
"You asked me to inquire about the matter, I have inquired clearly, but I am afraid that it is useless to spend such a long battle? The master really intends to marry the second sister to the Feng family's eldest son? I don't think the Feng family is right. Will agree."
Wang Xifeng slowly calmed down and fell asleep under the quilt, "Looking at the grandeur of the Feng family, if the second younger sister is your first sibling, there is still some hope, but it's a pity that she was cast in the wrong mother's womb."
"Well, master has this thought, what can I do?" Jia Lian was also very helpless, "Master always thinks that our family is a duo, and the Feng family is just a martial arts general, but that's all old history, our family You are well aware of the current situation, Sister Feng, but Feng’s family is not only expected to let Feng Tang out as an official, Brother Keng will be able to pass the exam if he can’t make it right, so it’s going to go up and down, can it still be the same?”
He had long wondered why Feng Ziying would marry his sister?
Yingchun's appearance is indeed good, and her body is indeed fertile, but now that Feng Ziying's popularity is rising day by day, many people are probably looking at the position of the first wife, so where is it her sister's turn?
If it is said to be a concubine or concubine, it would be too wronged, the Jia family would never accept such a thing.
"Then why should the master look at the Feng family? Is there no other suitable family for the second sister in this capital city except the Feng family?" Wang Xifeng didn't think so.
"Master also has his own thoughts. Didn't he ask you to inquire about the Feng family's livelihood? How is it?" Jia Lian withdrew his hands and put them behind his head.
"I have inquired, but I can only get a rough idea of these things, and I am afraid that many things hidden behind may not be clear." Wang Xifeng pondered and said: "I heard that the main business of the Feng family is still in Datong. How many, I don’t know, but I heard that there are gold and silver shops, raw medicine shops, leather goods shops, and cloth shops, and there are half a street, and there are also several big villages, all of which are well-watered fields.”
"Oh, I didn't expect the Feng family's property to be so rich?" Jia Lian was taken aback.
"Do you think that he is a vegetarian who has been serving in Datong for so many years?" Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes. The surrounding vacant land has been bought, and it seems that the ancestral house is going to be reorganized. The Feng family has no business in Linqing, only a few hundred acres of land. In addition, there are several shops in Linqing City, which are all leased to other people,……"
"You can inquire about all these things?" Jia Lian really admired his wife, for she could understand such people's private affairs in such a detailed way, which showed her daughter-in-law's ability to inquire.
"It's not a secret. In Feng's family, the big and small Duan's, that is, the Feng family Dalang's mother and aunt are two sisters. Well, the aunt is the concubine. The big Duan has never had children, so the little Duan's back Married in the past, who knows that after marrying, it was Da Duan who gave birth to Feng Jia Dalang. The Feng family said that it was Xiao Duan who brought blessings to her sister to have a son. The big one, so the little Duan in Feng's family is also very talkative, that is, she is in charge of Feng's family's internal and external business, but the big Duan doesn't care too much."
Jia Lian also found it interesting after hearing this, "I didn't expect Dalang's house to be so interesting. It's actually my aunt's housekeeper."
"Each family has its own reasons. We Rongguo Mansion were also my aunt's housekeeper before I married in?"
Wang Xifeng said something lightly, which immediately made Jia Lian's face stiff, but he didn't dare to take up this topic.
Everyone knows that the ancestor likes the second uncle. Although his father is the boss, he is not welcomed by the ancestors, but what can you do?
Filial piety is greater than the sky, you have to bear it.
Fortunately, Wang Xifeng didn't irritate her man any more, but continued to talk about the Feng family: "The Feng family also has some shops in the capital city. It seems that there are many shops in Xianyifang, Dashiyongfang, and Nanxunfang. Faxiangfang There are also there, in addition to renting to other families, there are also their own cloth shops, silk and satin shops, Nanhuo shops, gold and silver shops, and herbal medicine shops. In addition, there are two villages in Wanping outside the city. I heard that their Feng family used to be still there There are also two Zhuangzi in Liaodong, but they don’t seem to take much care of them, it’s probably too far away, so no one at home can take care of them.”
Jia Lian took a deep breath, "Based on this calculation, the Feng family doesn't think it's worse than our Rongguo Mansion. No wonder the master always says that the Feng family is a turtle with meat in its stomach."
Wang Xifeng sneered, "It's not just that it's no worse than our Rongfu. Ten or twenty years ago, the Feng family definitely couldn't compare with ours, but now, I'm afraid they've already lost one of them. Don't you know how much you have resisted? There is no man in the family who can support the platoon, and the second uncle is a pedantic person who only knows how to work, and he has never seen to find some living expenses for the people in the house. Thousands of people ate and drank, didn't they spend money like water in that month? If this continues, how many years can it last?"
Jia Lian bowed his head and remained silent. It was not his turn to say these words. Everyone in this house had their own calculations and ideas. The ancestors, his parents, and the second uncle and aunt all had their own ideas. Everyone has their own thoughts, and it's really not easy for Sister Feng to be in this family.
"Look at the Feng family. There are so many incomes from their business. I have inquired about it. There are no more than a hundred people in the entire family. The Feng family's eldest son is the only son of their Feng family's first son, and there is only one personal servant and one personal girl. That mansion The size and size of the land may be less than [-]% of our Rongguo Mansion, but there are still people who have been serving as general soldiers outside for decades, and I don’t know how much money they have brought back,..."
"..., look at our family again, hmph, that's all, it's no wonder the master wants to get married. If the second sister can marry, I'm afraid she can bring some back to her mother's house from time to time in the future to help me. Sister-in-law's?"
As soon as silver was mentioned, Wang Xifeng couldn't help smacking her lips, envious with envy.
Everyone knows that the army is the best place to make money. Naturally, the officials in Beijing, China and North Korea are incomparable, even the officials in that place are also incomparable with the generals in the army. After decades of being a general and general, I don't know how much money he has saved.
Jia Lian also couldn't help but smacked his lips, "Actually, if the second uncle wants to make a living, the Ministry of Industry still has a lot of money, but the second uncle is too pedantic, and he doesn't understand the world at all, and people don't want to work with him. , naturally there is no chance.”
Why is Wang Xifeng not aware of this point, her aunt married such a pedantic husband, it's a pity that such a big name of the Jia family and such a position bestowed by the Supreme Emperor back then were wasted.
"Second Uncle's temperament may have been fixed a long time ago, and there is no chance, but maybe this Feng family can really have some knowledge." Wang Xifeng pondered carefully, "I heard that the Feng family is more than that, there are still There are also some ways outside the Great Wall, maybe things like salt, iron, tea, and horses can find some livelihood."
"To put it bluntly, why did the Feng family give us these secrets? Gold and silver are eye-catching, and wealth touches people's hearts. Who would give it up? They also have a large family to support." Jia Lian shook his head, "Unless the second sister can marry The Feng family, otherwise such things would be impossible."
The couple just talked one after another on the bed, but forgot that there were Ping'er and Feng Ziying staring at each other.
"Second Mistress didn't catch up with the good times when she came here. My wife was not in good health, so I handed over the big and small matters in the house to Second Mistress. Second Mistress was also busy day and night, and she was so tired that she became dizzy several times,... ..."
Ping'er also casually said good things for his master, but it was a bit funny for Feng Ziying's ears to hear such words.
When is it my turn to listen to the "work report" of Jia's mansion, how Wang Xifeng manages the house has nothing to do with me, and it's not my turn to talk to him, but he can't help but agree with what others say.
"There are too many people in the mansion and the expense is inevitable, but Miss Ping'er is a good helper for Second Grandma Lian, so she can naturally share her worries for Second Grandma." Feng Ziying said with a smile: "I think that girl Yuanyang is also shrewd and capable. I can help Second Grandma Lian take care of it."
Ping'er did not expect Feng Ziying to have such a good impression of Yuanyang when she first arrived. She and Yuanyang are also good sisters, so she is naturally happy.
"Slaves are so stupid, how can they share the worries for Second Mistress? Yuanyang will definitely do it, but Yuanyang has to take care of things for the old ancestor, so I don't have the energy,..."
"Then we have to wait a few years after Baoyu gets married, and Baoyu's bride will come to help Lian's second mistress."
Feng Ziying almost said that Tanchun could do it, but suddenly thought that Tanchun is only nine years old now, how can he manage this family?
In the book "Dream of Red Mansions", it should be [-] or [-] years old to visit relatives in six or seven years. Only after experience can we bear this burden.
There is also Xue Baochai. It seems that Xue Baochai will enter Beijing this year, right?
Then Jia Yucun will go to Yingtian Mansion to work in the next year, and I don't know if the gourd monk's gourd case will happen again?I must have somewhat changed what happened in this time and space this time around, but I don't know the details.
Seeing that Feng Jia Dalang's complexion was getting better, he guessed that the alcohol must have passed, but he didn't hear any movement over there, and Ping'er felt a little flustered.
Although this young man is three or four years younger than himself, he looks like a grown man no matter what. It's not a problem to stay in the same room, but he can't find a suitable reason to leave.
Finally hearing someone calling outside the courtyard door, Ping'er quickly stood up, "Master Feng, rest for a while, servant girl, go out and have a look."
