Here Third Sister You and Daiyu said this, but over there Jia Lian had already gotten off the boat and walked towards Feng Ziying's official ship.

Like this kind of official trip, the officials don't need to mention, but most of the officials like civil servants have to bring one or two servants to accompany them, which is also the practice of officials in this era to go out on business, and even the big one, in addition to the long servants, there are even some who want to bring one or two staff and maids.

But generally speaking, those who want to bring staff must be officials above the fourth grade to be qualified, like this line, only Cui Jingrong has this qualification, and the others are at most one or two servants and servants.

Some officials and servants on the official ship have already begun to disembark, and those with backpacks and boxes are obviously preparing to get off the ship and stay in Tongzhou for a night.

Jia Lian was looking for someone to report on the shore, and the other party also looked Jia Lian up and down, then he reluctantly nodded and agreed to report, and after a while, Feng Ziying came out with Ruixiang.

"Second Brother Lian, when did you arrive?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile, but her eyes looked at the passenger ship behind the official ship.

"Just arrived, following behind your ship, and looks like you're planning to stay here for the night?" Jia Lian looked at the guests on the ship with some envy, basically they were civil officials with status and their servants, like Feng Ziying was already a real sixth-grade official, and there was no comparison with a fifth-grade official like herself.

"Well, let's stay for one night, the conditions in Tongzhou are good, look at the southern market, it is very prosperous, not inferior to other prefectures." Feng Ziying took her gaze back from the passenger ship, "Sister Lin is nothing, right?" ”

"It's nothing, and your Aunt You, I don't think Liu Erlang may be able to gain the upper hand with a sword technique, it's really a killing technique, a sword to seal the throat." Jia Lian recalled the sharpness of Third Sister You's sword in the cabin, and she was terrified, giving people no room to react at all, and she couldn't even keep up with her thoughts.

"The situation in the south is more complicated than in Beijing, especially Ningbo, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, where I will go at the end, are all the hardest hit areas of collusion between maritime merchants and Japanese pirates, and the sea is fully opened, and there are many people who have benefited, but there are also those who have been damaged, that is, those who have long been involved with the Japanese and conspired to smuggle, and even want to stifle others to engage in maritime trade, once the sea is fully opened, there will be more powerful businessmen to join, and they have been recognized and supported by the imperial court, which is bad news for these people,......"

Feng Ziying's tone was a little indifferent.

From the conversations with Cui Jingrong, Wu Liangsi, Sun Juxiang and Wei Guangwei, Feng Ziying didn't notice how worried they were, or that these people didn't take this matter to heart.

They may think that since this is a national policy that has been set by the imperial court, it is nothing more than opening the sea somewhere first, whether it is Ningbo, Zhangzhou or Quanzhou, they will eventually open the sea, as for the merchants of these places may have to fight before, but the final decision is up to the imperial court, and in addition, there will be no such dangerous things for such things.

But Feng Ziying didn't see it that way.

In Feng Ziying's opinion, if it is simply a few businessmen competing for who opens the sea first, it is normal competition, even if it is playing some tricks, it is acceptable, whether it is bribery or framing, after all, they are all serious businessmen, and they will also be engaged in serious maritime trade business in the future, and there can be no means beyond the bottom line, because they know that beyond the bottom line of the imperial court, then it means that they will lose their qualifications for this business.

But for those maritime merchants who have been involved with the Japanese in their bones for a long time, it is different.

The monopoly of the profiteering business was broken, and not only did they not have any advantage, but they also had to face the competition and suppression of some wealthy businessmen and tycoons who were stronger than them and had more background connections in the imperial court, and they might even have to deal with some opponents' deep investigation of their past illegal activities, and they would put themselves to death.

In this case, it is basically a life-and-death duel, and it doesn't matter to them what the bottom line is or not.

Feng Ziying, Cui Jingrong and others reminded them, but they did not attract their attention, or rather, they felt that this possibility was very small, who would come to disadvantage their group, they just came to investigate and understand the situation, and it was not them who finally decided to open the sea, but the cabinet and the six ministries, it was the emperor, and it was meaningless to be unfavorable to them.

It should be said that Cui Jingrong's judgment is not wrong, it is true that their group is a situation to collect and then go back to report, it is impossible to make any decisions, and it is of little significance to do anything to them.

But some people probably won't think so, they will think that if they can give their group a dismount, or even create a little chaos, at least they can delay the smooth progress of the strategy of opening the sea, and drag it out for a year or two, for some people, maybe it is a victory, and they can gain a lot of money.

It's a pity that there is not much basis and support for his opinion, Cui Jingrong, Wei Guangwei and Sun Juxiang don't quite agree with it, and even think that it is their own alarmist joke.

"Is it really that dangerous?" Jia Lian naturally couldn't understand, who would dare to be unfavorable to the officials of the imperial court? Isn't that self-defeating? Those merchants also have a large family, who would risk raiding their homes and destroying their clan to do such a thing?

"Second Brother Lian, there are some things that others think differently from what we think, and what we see may not be the truth." Feng Ziying shook her head, "Be prepared, Third Sister You hasn't been to Jiangnan either, so you should have a visit, and you will be bothered by Second Brother Lian here." ”

"That's okay, I don't think you, Aunt You, are difficult to deal with, and Sister Lin gets along with her okay." Jia Lian also laughed, "Sister Lin's temperament should also be understood, it is difficult for ordinary people to get into it, but this time you, Aunt You, still have an eye for her." ”

Jia Lian's words also amused Feng Ziying, it seems that the people in Jiafu are gradually accepting Lin Yatou's arrogant and clear temperament, but fortunately, not many people care about this, probably thinking that Lin Yatou may be such a character.

"That's good, I'm really worried that the two of them won't get along." Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, Da Lang, this Sister Lin, aren't you really ......" Jia Lian spied on Feng Ziying's expression change.

"Second Brother Lian, there is nothing that can't be said between me and you, it's another matter if you change someone else, well, Sister Lin's side, if I can, I will try my best to propose, but there are some difficulties and problems, on the one hand, Lin Gong's side, on the other hand, it is mainly the problem of the mother, Sister Lin's body is ......"

Feng Ziying understood as soon as she mentioned Jia Lian, and frowned.

If a family like the Feng family wants to marry a wife, it must be a problem, and it is a big problem, there is no wife, in this era, it is possible to divorce the wife, everything else is easy to say, but this one, Feng Ziying's mother will definitely not agree.

"How's that to be?"

Jia Lian must be happy to see Feng Ziying marry Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu is his cousin, in contrast, in addition to Yingchun, whether it is Xue Baochai or Jia Tanchun, in terms of blood intimacy, they are not as close as Lin Daiyu, if the Feng Lin family marries, then the relationship between himself and the Feng family will be more stable.

"Take one step at a time, the worst plan is to delay it for two years, and when Sister Lin is older and stronger, maybe my mother will have something to say." Feng Ziying smiled bitterly.

"Two more years?" Jia Lian was surprised, "Does the Lingtang Association agree?" You're sixteen, can you delay another two years to get married? ”

"Isn't it my eldest uncle chasing after the knight, you may also know about the matter, it should be that the emperor will approve it in the next few days, and the official document of the Ministry of Rites will come, even if it is decided, the long house can be married first, the long house matter is solved, if you can give birth to a boy and a girl, it is estimated that the mother will not be too tight, it is really not good, accept two concubines, or which girl in the house can give birth to a boy and half a girl, and the mother will not be forced too hard."

Jia Lian felt much more at ease at this time, which showed that Feng Ziying had made up her mind to marry Lin Daiyu.

According to his understanding, although most of these major matters of marrying a wife are decided by the words of the matchmaker and the orders of the parents, but in the Feng family, Feng Ziying still has a lot of right to speak, and he can also do many things, so if he wants to marry Lin Daiyu, he is afraid that the opposition of the Duan clan may not be effective.

It's really not good, you can make up the number with a wife, but the Lin family, Lin Ruhai is a single biography and has no brothers and sisters, and Lin Daiyu has no uncles and sisters, so there is no suitable wife, and Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, and even Jia Xichun are quite suitable on the Jia family's side, but the problem is that this blood relationship is different, and it can't be a wife.

Jia Lian doesn't care about who Feng Ziying marries in the long house, it is impossible to go to his sister anyway, as for whether it is Xue Baochai or someone else, he doesn't care too much, but he feels that this long wife, I'm afraid it won't be Xue Baochai's turn.

The two gossiped for a while, but saw Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng getting off the boat, Feng Ziying introduced Jia Lian to the two, although the attitude of the two was quite polite, but both Feng Ziying and Jia Lian could feel that the other party was not interested in getting to know Jia Lian and other martial arts disciples, and Jia Lian also left with interest.

"Ziying, I know that your family is from Wuxun, but if this kind of martial arts disciple has no ability, Brother Fool suggests that you don't need to have too deep contact." After Jia Lian left, Fan Jingwen said bluntly: "The Jia family, the second prince of Rongning, has a bad reputation in the Jingshi City, and one of my seniors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate has already received a complaint to respond to the Weilie General Jia Amnesty, but at that time, Wang Ziteng was still the right attendant of the military department, and the matter was suppressed, but there was no end, although the matter was not big, but the leopard was glimpsed, which shows that the Jia family is unbearable,......"

Without waiting for Feng Ziying to explain, He Fengsheng also picked up: "Ziying, don't blame us for being straightforward, what is Jia Zheng's nickname in the Ministry of Industry, 'lazy monk', saying that he was a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, but he couldn't even ring the bell, and his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry despised him,......"
