Number of romantic figures

Chapter 177

Feng Ziying arrived at Baiyun Temple in advance.

The Baiyun Temple is really magnificent, the screen wall is "Eternal Changchun" written by Zhao Mengfu, the Lingxing Gate has a single eaves glazed tiles on the top of the mountain, four pillars and seven floors, it can be called a first-class place in the capital.

There are crowds of people watching outside, and you can see at least dozens of carriages and sedan chairs of various colors along the side of the road. They should all come to the capital city to take advantage of the good weather to burn incense and pray for blessings.

For Confucian literati, outings are obviously the more important purpose. It would be a pity if they couldn't take a good rest during the 20-day spring break.

Of course, this is also a kind of social activity, but if you bring family members, unless you are close relatives, you generally don't travel together.

Although Jia Lian wanted to bring his family, since Feng Ziying had already mentioned to him that he had other friends, he would definitely not come with Wang Xifeng and Lin Yatou. Not too far apart.

For Feng Ziying, this is the only way to go. During the spring break, you said that Lin girl should go out alone to burn incense and pray for blessings. It is obviously impossible. It is the peak season for outings and incense burning, so what if something goes wrong?It must be a big family trip to go.

So in a hurry, there is only such a way to come up with.

"Ziying!" As soon as Feng Ziying arrived, Han Qi and Wei Ruolan arrived.

Wei Ruolan's carriage was too conspicuous. Although it didn't have the identity characteristics of the Tian family, as the son of the eldest princess, at least he had to be imposing in the carriage.

The carriage that Han Qi rode in was very ordinary. His ancestor Jinxianghou was now a third-rank general. In terms of mansion, it was still the Marquis' mansion back then.

Feng Ziying also stayed at home during the spring break for more than ten days before she gradually learned about the situation at home.

Before the end of the year, the income from various places came back one after another. The Datong side and the capital city side were the big ones. Feng Ziying didn't bother to ask, but his parents and aunt talked to him a little bit.

Datong has the biggest income, close to 4 taels of silver, mainly from several herbal medicine shops, gold and silver shops, and cloth houses. The income of the shops in the capital and the rented out stores is about 3 taels, but the Zhuangzi on both sides don’t earn much. , It’s just two or 3000 taels of rent, plus some specialties such as rice noodles, oily meat and game.

For example, Linqing's income is only 2000 taels of silver, mainly from the leased storefront income, and the rent of hundreds of acres of land is not much, and the sum here is basically supplied to the old people in Linqing. The expansion and renovation of the house is not enough, and it is estimated that several thousand taels will be added to smooth it out.

Feng Ziying didn't know that her family had two Zhuangzi in Liaodong, but those two Zhuangzi could only send back some game.

For example, two marinated wild boars, a dozen pieces of deer skin, and five or six legs of venison, ten pairs of bear paws, two bear skins, fifty catties of tiger bones, and some ginseng antler, but they are all genuine products. They all went directly into the warehouse in the mansion.

Feng Ziying did some calculations. Feng's annual income is now about 8 to 3 taels. As for the expenses of the mansion, he is not very clear. Neither his mother nor his aunt told him. Between [-] and [-] taels, this still excludes some big ones that are not included in daily expenses.

For example, it is estimated that the recovery of the father this time will cost 5 to 8 taels of silver. Another example is that the mother is already thinking about starting a family and starting a business for herself, so if she wants to buy and renovate the two surrounding private houses, it will cost [-] to [-] taels. Don't even think about silver.

Feng Ziying really doesn't know how much wealth the family has, but it is estimated that there are 20 million taels.

As the older generation, there are obviously many things to consider. At least in this regard, Feng Ziying thinks that the Feng family is much stronger than the Jia family. To tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, it will gradually decline.

For example, Wang Xifeng will open up channels, use the company's money to lend money, and take up lawsuits, all of which are high-risk and even politically risky.

Of course, that was written in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions". At least for now, Feng Ziying still has a good impression of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.

Jia Lian's character is not bad, and he can do some things. Wang Xifeng took good care of Lin Yatou. Basically, Wang Xifeng was satisfied with the things Lin Yatou asked Lian's second sister-in-law. Just because of this, Feng Ziying felt that she should Give them a hand.

As for what happened to Wang Xifeng in Jia's mansion, that had nothing to do with him, and what happened to Jia's mansion in the future also had nothing to do with him.

He is neither Jia Amnesty Jia Zheng, nor the old matriarch. It is not his turn to worry about the prosperity and decline of Jia's mansion.

"Ziqi! Ruolan!" Feng Ziying was also very happy. She hadn't seen the two of them for a long time, and indeed she still missed them a little.

"Brother Yejun didn't come?" Feng Ziying didn't see Chen Yejun.

Han Qi and Wei Ruolan were a little embarrassed, shook their heads, and Han Qi said: "Brother Yejun has something to do with his family, maybe he has to come later, he didn't say he was dead."

"Oh?" Feng Ziying smiled softly in her heart. She invited her two days in advance. Also vaguely know something.

"If you didn't come, you didn't come. Maybe Brother Jun is really busy. What's the matter?" Feng Ziying waved her hand indifferently, "Wait here, there is another friend."

"Oh? Isn't Ziying going to introduce us to the talents in your academy, then we can't afford it." Wei Ruolan joked.

The students of Qingtan Academy and those who have been gangsters in the Imperial College must not be able to get together. They have no common language at all. Feng Ziying is a special case. It must be difficult to get them together with their own group.

"Hehe, if Brother Ruolan and Brother Ziqi really have such an idea, then of course my younger brother can recommend it for you. Han Jian and Xu Zixun are fine." Feng Ziying also laughed.

Now Han Jing and Xu Xie, especially Xu Xie are the most famous scholars in the capital city at present, whether they are high-ranking officials or nobles, and whether they are scholars, they are very willing to get acquainted with such a promising talent.

Maybe in a few years, he will be able to occupy a seat in the Imperial Academy or even the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he will see you when he looks up, but he is young.

"Excuse me, Ziying, they are different from you. They have no friendship with us, and we can't afford that friendship." Han Qi was still very self-aware, and waved his hands again and again, "Tell me, who else?"

"Well, the second brother Lian of Rongguo Duke's Mansion, brother Ziqi and brother Ruolan should know each other?" Feng Ziying didn't hide anything.

"Jia Lian?" Han Qi was surprised and glanced at Wei Ruolan.

They are all from the Wu Xun family, how can they not know each other, but they are obviously not very familiar with Jia Lian.

"What? Ziqi knows him?" Feng Ziying looked over.

"Well, Ziying, it's impossible for the people from the Jia family to say they don't know each other. We don't see each other when we look up, but we are more familiar with Brother Zhen and Brother Rong in Ningguo Mansion." Han Qi smiled and said: " Brother Rong is also in prison, but he often enjoys banquets with us, and his father, Brother Zhen, is also a very interesting person, so we talk about our own affairs, and we often stay together,..."

Feng Ziying didn't expect these two guys to be able to get together with Jia Rong and Jia Zhen. It seemed that their friendship was not shallow, so she frowned. She hadn't heard much about these two guys before.

"When did you get together with Brother Rong and Brother Zhen again?" Feng Ziying couldn't help asking.

"Brother Rong was familiar with us before, you just didn't know, but didn't he want to get married the year before last? So he didn't come out much at home, and it seems to have started to come out again in the past six months." Wei Ruolan said indifferently: "As for Brother Zhen, if you say he can play better than Brother Rong, sometimes Brother Rong even brings his father with him when he comes out..."

Feng Ziying was dumbfounded. He really didn't know that the two fathers and sons Jia Zhen and Jia Rong had such a tacit understanding, but the father was happy with his son, so how can he discipline his son?

Is it possible that the gathering of friends mentioned in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" is still true?No, isn't Jia Rong just married?Why did it start wandering around again?

"I remember that Brother Rong got married just the year before last, right?" Feng Ziying had the impression that it should be that Qin Keqing.

Although I went to Jia's mansion a few times, I always went to Rongguo's mansion, not to Ningguo's mansion. That time I had a drink with Jia Lian, although Jia Rong was called, but I only met Jia Rong, which is naturally impossible. I met Qin Keqing, a rather mysterious character in the book "Dream of Red Mansions".

"Well, you haven't come back from Datong the year before last." Wei Ruolan nodded, "I heard that you often go to the Rongguo Mansion, don't you have any friendship with the Ningguo Mansion? Why don't Brother Yu put Brother Zhen and Brother Rong called out, let's have a drink together?"

"Brother Zhen and Brother Rong also know each other, but I am more familiar with the Rongguo Mansion. The second brother Lian and the younger brother are very close, and you should also know the second sister-in-law Lian..."

"Why don't you know? Wang Shilang's niece, Jinling Wang's family, Wang De and us are quite familiar, you should know." Han Qi asked, "Aren't you also in the Imperial College? It's just that you don't come here often."

Wang De is the second son of Prince Teng, and his eldest son, Wang Zhong, also spent two years in the Imperial College, and now he has a idle job with Long Jinwei.

Feng Ziying had been in the Imperial College for half a year, and he had never seen Wang Dejin study in the prison, but he knew that this Wang family's dandy seemed to have a close relationship with Chen Yejun.

Based on this, it can be seen that the Wang family has no successors, and the two sons are not as good as the other. I don't know how Wang Ziteng's family education is. Looking at it this way, it seems that the Jia family really has a sense of superiority.
