"Wenlong, why is your face so ugly today? Who borrowed your grain and repaid your chaff? ”

Feng Ziying watched the bustling flow of people begin to enter the Daguan Building, and then let go of the gate, walked straight to the back, and asked casually.

Xue Pan's huge head shook a little, as if he didn't want to speak, but he suppressed it for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it back, stood still and looked at Feng Ziying and said: "Ziying, originally my sister didn't allow me to talk to you about this, but I'm a straight intestine and can't hide my words, even if my sister ignores me after I go back, I have to explain it to you." ”

Of course Feng Ziying understood what Xue Pan wanted to say, originally he planned to go to Lixiangyuan to see Baochai today, otherwise he would not have come to Daguanlou, knowing that Xue Pan was here, with his temperament, he must be looking for himself to talk one, two, three, how could he dare to come without preparation?

It's been seven or eight days since I came back, and many things that should be said have been said, and what should be done are being done, and some people can't be seen for the time being, and they have to be delayed, but things basically have a general context.

King Zhongshun was extremely interested in the matter of the exclusive right of sea trade, and it could be seen that this one was probably not just as simple as sharing worries for the emperor, but that King Zhongshun really listened to it, and thought that the exclusive right to sea trade for Ezo, Haixi and the savage Jurchen that he described would have a big deal to do, and even intended to involve his own son.

Of course, Prince Zhongshun is still more interested in this regard, and he doesn't think that he can take care of this matter alone, but only says that if he can, let this concubine son follow and learn to understand, so that he can have a way to make a living in the future.

As for the matter of Yinzhuang, Emperor Yonglong has not spoken out, except for the attitude of wanting to participate when he talked to himself alone that day, but there has been no voice for so long.

Feng Ziying is not in a hurry, even without the participation of Emperor Yonglong, with the support of Lin Ruhai, he can also set up this silver village in Yangzhou, of course, if there is Emperor Yonglong's shares, the credibility of this silver village will be infinitely higher, whether it is to attract shares, or to expand business in the future, it is much more convenient and beneficial.

During this time, there were many outsiders gathered in the city, and the maritime merchants from the south of the Yangtze River, as well as those who hoped that the tea, porcelain and silk merchants could be exported on a larger scale through the opening of the sea, were even more enthusiastic.

They are all looking forward to the specific rules for opening the sea, and even many people have already prepared the silver, just waiting for the imperial court to clarify the strategy.

Feng Ziying has already begun to prepare the relevant rules for opening the sea, including some that should have been done by the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War.

But now everyone is still immersed in the discussion of the big rules, and they haven't paid attention to these rules, but time waits for no one, Feng Ziying can only come up with some guiding opinions first, and finally have to be formulated by the ministries themselves, especially when the imperial court does not have a special agency to deal with this kind of thing.

Originally, the imperial court had a Chinese calligraphy department, which should theoretically be specially formulated for this kind of rules and regulations, and there were also one or twenty people in the middle of the book, and it is said that the scale would be expanded in the near future, but this Chinese calligraphy department was obviously prepared for some specific candidates, and it was a noble and false title.

The quality of the Zhongshu Sheren from the seven grades is not high, but it is expensive for the center and noble, and even in the monthly court meeting can participate, the key is also to be born in the imperial examination, which can be said to be the yearning of countless people.

Feng Ziying later learned why Jia's mother spoke like that that day, and asked her to help Jia Baoyu go to Qingtan Academy to dye a water and gild, for no other reason, because there were some rumors.

I heard that the imperial court intends to arrange some suitable places for some important ministers and meritorious children, and important ministers will generally choose the time of the official or after the arrangement, and the meritorious service is determined according to the situation.

This time the arrangement is not like the previous ones, either they are fictitious, and they can't even go to the court, or they are military attachés such as Long Banwei, but this time they are arranged to such as Zongrenfu or Zhongshuke, etc., and Zhongshuke, such a glamorous and idle place is particularly exciting.

It's just that it is said that this is going to enter the middle school calligraphy, even if you are not a showman, then you have to have a certain name, and the best source of talent is several major academies, such as Qingtan Academy and Chongzheng Academy in Shuntianfu, Baima and Chongwen Academy in Jiangnan.

I don't know how this rumor spread to the Rongguo Mansion, and it immediately made Jia's mother feel good, if she can let her grandson go to the academy for two years, even if Qiu Yu is eliminated, but it can be regarded as having this qualification, and then let Yuanchun ask for it, blow the pillow wind, maybe the emperor can let Baoyu go to be a noble and idle minister like a scholar, which can be regarded as the best place for Baoyu.

This old lady was so worried about her grandson's future that even Feng Ziying was a little moved.

Since the Chinese calligraphy department has become a place used by the emperor to appease and win over important ministers and nobles, Feng Ziying naturally cannot count on it.

Feng Ziying knows very well that it is still necessary to work these details to really decide whether the strategy of opening the sea can be successful, or to what extent it can be successful, and whether it can bring good changes to Da Zhou.

All kinds of thoughts also passed through Feng Ziying's mind, and in the face of the menacing Xue Pan, Feng Ziying stood still with a smile, "Wenlong, you say." ”

"Ziying, you and I have been friends for so many years, and they all say that friendship between friends is important, I, Xue Wenlong, am a rough person, and I have always spoken straightforwardly, and some words are like ...... The fish bones are stuck in the throat tube, don't vomit and don't be happy! ”

Yo, this guy didn't know where to pick up two idioms, and he actually said that he didn't vomit in his throat and was unhappy, Feng Ziying was happy.

"You have to tell me the truth today, will you marry my sister?" Xue Pan's face was nervous, and he stared at Feng Ziying with dead eyes: "I don't know what you said between you and my sister, my mother has been sighing for a long time all day long, asking them, and if she doesn't say anything, she is about to suffocate me, but I know that it must have something to do with you." Don't think I'm stupid, you went to Jiangnan this time and sent the Lin family's sister to Yangzhou with Jia Lian, didn't you fall in love with the Lin family's sister and wanted to marry the Lin family's sister, so you forgot about my sister? ”

This guy! Can you think of this? Feng Ziying was greatly surprised, and said that this Xue Pan person was stupid and impulsive, did not do things carefully, had no rules, and did whatever he wanted, but he often subverted Feng Ziying's perception.

It turned out that Xue Pan and Baochai were brothers and sisters in deep love, and Xue Pan dared to complain about Baochai, such as not seeing Baoyu come to Lixiangyuan to entangle, such as hoping that he could marry Baochai, but today he found that this guy is thick and fine, and he can still figure out the relationship between himself and Lin Daiyu?

In this way, isn't it true that even Baochai has already guessed that he is going to marry Daiyu? Thinking of this, Feng Ziying, who was originally light and breezy, was really a little uncalm.

After thinking about it for a while, Feng Ziying slowly spoke: "Wenlong, I won't tell you, I'm going to marry the sister of the Lin family,......"

"Huh?!" Xue Pan was shocked and angry, his fists clenched, "If that's the case, I guessed it, no wonder my sister didn't think about it on the establishment day, Ziying, are you worthy of my sister by doing this?!" ”

"Wenlong, don't be impatient, I said I want to marry Sister Lin, but I didn't say I won't marry Sister Bao." Feng Ziying said leisurely.

Xue Pan was shocked, of course he understood the word "marry", the word "marry" can only be used for the wife, and the concubine can only use "na", of course, the people are not so particular, and the concubine is also mixed to say that marrying into the door, but on such an occasion today, Feng Ziying will never say the wrong thing.

Xue Pan was still not at ease: "Ziying, I told you a long time ago that my sister can't be a concubine!" ”

"Who said that Sister Bao is a concubine?" Feng Ziying asked rhetorically.

Xue Pan was puzzled, he had spent a lot of thought on this matter, the Feng family's room was chasing after him, but he knew that the Feng family's house was now the Shen family of the prefect of Dongchang Mansion, and there was only one room left, if Feng Ziying wanted to marry Lin Daiyu, where would his sister go?

"Two days ago, I asked King Zhongshun to ask the emperor to posthumously knight my second uncle who died of illness in Datong at the right time, and King Zhongshun has agreed to my request."

Feng Ziying's solemn words made Xue Pan suddenly wake up and be overjoyed: "Are you saying that you want to have a second room and let my sister marry into your second room as a wife?" ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Feng Ziying arched her hand, "This matter is still under consideration, and I also ask Wenlong not to say anything to outsiders, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ”

Xue Pan also had a rare solemn face, raised his finger to the sky, "I will definitely rot in my stomach in this matter, and I will never say anything to anyone, it is related to my sister's life, no matter how stupid I am, I also understand the severity, why don't I swear a poisonous oath......"

"That's not necessary, sooner or later, such things will be known to outsiders, I just don't want to leak it sooner." Feng Ziying waved her hand, this kind of thing is Xue Pan's secret, and it is possible that the Zhongshun King's side may leak it out, but he has not mentioned to him who he intends to marry, but if someone with a heart is to follow the vine, most of them can guess one or two, but it doesn't matter.

"But Ziying, my sister and mother are ......," Xue Pan hesitated again.

"I happen to have time today, and I am also about to go to your house to meet my aunt and sister Bao, and I need to give them an explanation." Feng Ziying said categorically.

"That's great." Xue Pan was overjoyed, as long as Feng Ziying went to tell her mother and sister in person, then her mother and sister would be at ease.

Rika-in.

Baochai leaned lazily on the pillow of the kang head, and the embroidered bandage in his hand was embroidered from moment to moment.

"If the girl is sleepy, it is better to lie down for a while, and I will take a thin quilt for the girl." Ying'er had already seen that the girl was uneasy, but she couldn't mention certain things, so she could only gossip to relieve the girl's mood.

"No, I haven't finished embroidering this one yet." Baochai looked out the window in a daze, and finally withdrew his gaze.
