Section 4 The hairpin explores the beginning of the confrontation

"Whether it is suitable or not depends on everyone, marrying someone like Sun Shaozu as a wife, in my opinion, it is better to be a concubine for you." At this point, Jia Lian's attitude is becoming more and more distinct, he glanced at Feng Ziying, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sun Shaozu is licking blood at the knife edge, maybe he will capsize one day, and it doesn't sound so good to be a concubine for you, but it's not a loss." ”

"Oh?" Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment, he didn't even understand what Jia Lian meant when he said that he was not a loser, Yingchun is also a woman of the Jia family, and it is not a loss for the princess to be a concubine?

"What's the picture of my daughter's family? Isn't it just a matter of having oneself to rely on? Can Sun Shaozu be reliable? Jia Lian pursed her lips contemptuously, "The second sister is not as good as the eldest girl, she is a concubine, if she wants to be a wife at home, she either fills the house and continues to renew the strings, or it may be that the family background is not so good-looking, and the person has no ability to say anything, if the second sister can marry a suitable one, it is okay to be safe, but I think the master is afraid that he doesn't like this kind of thing very much." ”

Feng Ziying smiled, with Jia Yu's temperament, of course he wouldn't choose the latter, or where would he get a deal? Even after Yingchun gets married, I am afraid that this Jia Yu, including the Xing family, will not let go of Yingchun, and it is bound to be "blackmailed" constantly.

"Most of the people who can fill the house have heirs, Sun Shaozu is an exception, but looking at his character, I'm afraid it's better to think of a child who has children." Jia Lian said stupidly.

Feng Ziying shook her head and was silent, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is probably the same difficulty and unsatisfactory place to marry into any family.

"Being a concubine is not so famous, but you are a well-known courtier in the court, the holy family is strong, and the future is bright, this alone is enough to offset any other shortcomings, and your temperament I understand, that is, the maids and maids are excellent, Ziying, do you know that you have a very good impression in the minds of those maids in our house, it turned out that Baoyu people are good, but now they are all pressed by you, this is not only the credit of Jin Chu'er and Xiangling, but also because you are usually kind and generous when you talk to these maids, Even some small mistakes are laughed off, and naturally these maids will say good things for you. ”

Feng Ziying didn't expect Jia Lian to observe so carefully and analyze himself so thoroughly, but she underestimated Jia Lian's ability.

"Besides, what's wrong with being your concubine? Everyone knows the bottom line, the second sister follows you, and you won't treat her badly. Jia Lian paused for a moment, and then said: "I have also heard some sayings, including Aunt Lin said, you have gone too smoothly in the past two years, although you have made great contributions and are deeply trusted by the emperor, but it also has a lot to do with your Jinshi and Shujishi background, but in the next few years, it will be impossible to let your quality rise so endlessly, it is estimated that even if you make contributions, most of them are also the set of wife and shadow, your sister-in-law needless to say, but it is a concubine, if the emperor is gracious, then it can also be graced, Maybe you can get a martial cavalry lieutenant or something in your infancy, then it's worth it. ”

I see, it means that this is not a loss, and Feng Ziying can understand it.

The commander system of the Great Zhou Dynasty is different from that of the Ming Dynasty, because the country has not been established for a long time, so all the low-level commanders are mainly favored and falsely awarded.

Generally speaking, there are only two situations for giving Enyin to Enyin, one is that the official has reached a certain level, and the quality and the loose rank are not easy to promote, so they can only be given to the Enyin Commander, which can be civil and martial.

The Great Zhou Dynasty regulations, adult heirs can be civil and military officers, but minors are generally only given low-level martial arts, so Jia Lian will say that like the martial cavalry captain is the lowest grade from the sixth grade, and the cloud cavalry captain is the sixth grade, and if he is an adult, his parents have made meritorious contributions, and give a Wenxun such as the Xiezheng Shu Yin from the fifth grade, and the revised Shu Yin of the fifth grade, but Wenxun is not something that ordinary people can obtain, and the great merit of the non-fathers is not given, so there are few rewards, and most of them are low-level martial arts.

Although the honorable officer is not worth mentioning in the eyes of official officials, it is also an official body after all, if you can't take the imperial examination road, there is still hope for relying on this mixed official in the future, which is undoubtedly a background for those who have more heirs and are concubines and can't study.

This Jia Lian actually even took into account the matter of Jia Yingchun giving birth to a son if he was a concubine, which shows that he did put a lot of thought into this matter, not to please himself.

Isn't it true that whoever has a strong father and a son must be strong, especially if he marries a wife and takes a concubine, and there are more than ten or eight heirs, who can guarantee that they can study?

Whether it is the first assistant or the champion, it is not allowed that the children and grandchildren will not be able to study the same, but if they can earn a medal for their son with merit, it is also a reward, which is far better than giving a shop, a house, and gold and silver.

"Second Brother Lian, what you said is a bit far." Feng Ziying smiled and shook her head, "What you said is true, I'm afraid I don't have any promotion opportunities in the near future, after all, I am a second-class jinshi, and I am faster than others in the same department. ”

This is the huge gap between the Jinshi and the officials of the other paths, and at the end of the three-year period, they will be promoted from their own rank to three levels in a row.

Jia Lian couldn't help but sigh, from the sixth grade to the third level is the fifth grade, and there is a line away from the fourth grade, of course, this line of separation depends on the slow accumulation of qualifications, and there is no such good thing as a third level in a row.

Jia Zheng has been a foreigner from the fifth grade all his life, which is still rewarded by the emperor, and Feng Ziying will be able to surpass Jia Zheng next year to become a full-fledged five-grade official, but next year Feng Ziying will only be eighteen years old.

"I don't think it's far away." Jia Lian said: "What I said is also serious, Ziying, you don't have to be a joke, although the master is not very willing, but I see that my wife is very optimistic about you, if you are also willing, I am willing to wait until I return to Beijing, and talk to my wife." ”

Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect the Xing family to think so highly of himself, and he was actually willing to give Yingchun to himself as a concubine, but Jia Yu, who was more greedy for money, was not very willing, and he didn't know how much silver Sun Shaozu promised Jia Yu.

"Second brother Lian, I haven't thought about this matter, the second sister is a generous character, if she is a concubine with me, I think I'm afraid it's a little delayed, if she can have a better marriage, it's the best, but this Sun Shaozu, the second brother Lian had better talk to Yu Shibo and the eldest wife, after all, it is also a matter of the second sister's life." Feng Ziying thought for a moment before saying.

"Ziying, you don't have to talk to the second brother about this uselessness, I just want to ask you, if the old lady agrees, are you willing?" Jia Liantu is poor.

One sentence choked Feng Ziying speechless, if Yingchun was allowed to be abused and tortured to death by that Sun Shaozu, this was undoubtedly something Feng Ziying did not want to see, but if Yingchun was to be included in his room because of this, this would be too exaggerated.

After pondering for a while, Feng Ziying hesitated and said, "Second Brother Lian, let's not mention this matter for the time being, wait until Yangzhou is over, let's talk about it after returning to Beijing." ”

Jia Lian was not very satisfied with this delaying tactic, but he could also feel that Feng Ziying did not refuse, which meant that there was a door, anyway, Sun Shaozu's side couldn't settle down now, and it was not too late to wait until there was a result of the matter here.

Feng Ziying and Jia Lian talked very well, and the girls over there were also smiling and talking, and they were all very familiar, but they could still go out together this time, if it weren't for Daiyu's father's critical illness, I was afraid that they would be more happy and excited.

"This is the territory of Beizhi from Tongzhou, and this side has to be dredged every year,......"

"Shandong is Brother Feng's hometown?" Tanchun quietly observed Baochai, "Sister Bao has been there?" ”

Baochai shook his head slightly, "When our family came to Beijing, we never got off the boat all the way, Brother Feng's hometown is in Linqing, which is the first pier of the North Canal, which is several times more prosperous than Tongzhou, but unfortunately the time is too tight to go down and see ,......"

In fact, Tanchun also knew that Baochai had never been far away since she came to Beijing, and it was impossible for her to go to Brother Feng's hometown, but she didn't know why, she always felt that this trip to Yangzhou was no problem, the second sister was fine, and the fourth girl was no problem, but this Bao sister was also going to go, which made her feel a little unsure.

She carefully observed between Sister Bao and Brother Feng, and didn't seem to see anything.

It stands to reason that since Sister Lin is already engaged to Brother Feng, it should be impossible for Sister Bao to have any ideas, but she can ...... it at the first time

"Why don't we go to Brother Feng's mansion to pay a visit when we return this time, Sister Bao, what do you think?" Tan Chunfeng's eyes widened, and he glanced at Brother Feng, who was still talking to Second Brother Lian, and made a suggestion.

"Oh, I'm afraid it still depends on what Brother Feng means, right? Second sister, what do you say? Baochai smiled and turned Zhen's head sideways to welcome the spring, "The second sister's emerald green silk skirt really fits the appearance of the second sister, it can be described as a little red ,...... in the green bush."

was suddenly pulled into the battlefield by Baochai, and Yingchun didn't react yet, so he could only say honestly: "This is the first time my sister-in-law said last winter that I didn't have many colorful clothes in winter and spring, and I made it for me, and it was also the first time I wore ,......."

Tanchun snorted lightly, Sister Bao's move turned the stars around, she neither responded nor denied it, and took advantage of the situation to throw the topic to the second sister, where can the second sister answer such a topic?

This made Tanchun feel more and more that Sister Bao was a little unfathomable.

This trip to Yangzhou is to take a good look at what this sister Bao will do, and what will it be like to be with Lin Yatou?

Tanchun had some expectations in his heart for no reason.
