Shen Yixiu was keenly aware of the change in her husband's mood.

The husband went to Jiafu, and it is said that he went to see the garden built by Jiafu for the concubine, and he was not in a very good mood when he came back.

Now the new concubines in this Beijing city have received the emperor's special gift to go home to save their relatives this year, so for the sake of this provincial family, they are all building provincial villas with full horsepower and jade, Jia Guifei, Zheng Guifei, Zhou Guifei and several other families are chasing after me, not to be outdone.

Ning Rong's second mansion is a martial arts family, so naturally it can't be left behind, even a woman like Shen Yixiu, who is not so sensitive to the outside world, has already heard of such things, and this has also become an interesting incident in the second half of the seventh year of Yonglong.

Feng Ziying was in a bad mood, which naturally affected the mood of the whole family, that is, when she had dinner at night, the atmosphere seemed to be much duller.

The rule of the Feng family is to eat together, and the big and small Duan clans also noticed that Feng Ziying's face had been gloomy, and he gestured to Shen Yixiu with his eyes, and Shen Yixiu didn't dare to speak in front of his mother-in-law, but just shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.

Eryou sat down and didn't dare to squeak.

A meal is eaten very dullly.

Feng Ziying didn't realize this, his mind had been on Qin Keqing, how to deal with the trouble that this woman might bring to him, he really didn't have a trick, if he said that he would sit and wait and see like Wang Wenyan said, he was a little unwilling.

Intuition told him that the eighth year of Yonglong might not be a good year for him, and even he might face a lot of trouble, where the trouble came from, Feng Ziying is also investigating now.

But there is no doubt that Qin Keqing, this woman, is definitely one of them.

Even if Qin Keqing is really the illegitimate daughter of Prince Yizhong, Feng Ziying doesn't care, the key is that Feng Ziying doesn't know what this woman wants, why does she bite herself?

Thinking of Prince Yizhong's increasingly explicit actions, the Emperor Taishang who has been silent, the concubines and King Beijing who have been making small movements, as well as the emperor who has been holding back and the wavering martial artists, Feng Ziying's heart couldn't help but tense.

This kind of thing may be a fuse that can cause unpredictable changes, and even if you do a lot of preparation in advance, sometimes you can't set a small variable to appear.

It wasn't until eating a bowl of rice that Feng Ziying realized how much pressure her silence had brought to the entire dinner table.

The worried eyes of her mother and aunt, the worried looks of his wife and concubine, and the cautious behavior of the maids waiting beside him all made Feng Ziying realize that she was already the backbone of this family when her father was away, and every move, anger and joy would bring a huge psychological burden to the family.

"I'm sorry, mother, aunt, I just thought about it, and now I have figured it out, I'm worried, it's okay,......"

With Feng Ziying's words, the atmosphere at the entire dinner table suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly became lively.

"Brother Cong, is there something going on with official business?" Daduan's family has also experienced a lot of husbands in Datong who are not smooth or even nervous in official business, but I didn't expect her husband to leave, but her son came again, and now it is still two generations, looking at the expression of the daughter-in-law and the son's concubine next to her son, she is both proud and a little worried.

"Well, it's not counted, it's a bit public and private." Feng Ziying smiled and said: "It's not a big problem, it's just a matter of thinking about how to deal with it more perfectly, don't worry, mother, my son can handle it, and if there is trouble in dealing with it, my son will naturally have to ask a few masters for help." ”

Da Duan's heart is relieved, his son is different from his husband, his husband is a military general who is in charge alone, and many things need to be decided by himself, and his son is now just a civil official, and his quality is not high, if there is really anything, he can go to Qi, Qiao, Guan and other important ministers of the court to ask for advice, with their experience, it is naturally not a problem.

"Brother Keng, you are still young, don't think about carrying everything by yourself, your father also followed your second uncle to polish and train when he was young, so that he can slowly pick up a lot of burdens, you are only eighteen years old, there are still a long days in the future, many things don't have to be too urgent, haven't you heard that the name of Xiao Feng in this Jingshi City is famous?"

Da Duan's words are full of pride and satisfaction, she is most proud of her son now, and her husband has been put second, otherwise she will not be very willing to listen to Su Xie and her husband to go to Liaodong, if it is in the past, she will not go, her sister will definitely follow, and she will never let Su Xie and the two be alone.

But now, the Da Duan clan doesn't care anymore, even if Su Xie and the others can still give birth to a boy and a half girl with their husbands this time, so what?

It is said that the son is a celestial Qu Xing, so he has such a ability, and Su Xie's second daughter gave birth to a son, can she still be as good as Ziying? This is not to say that the concubine is the concubine.

"My son understands." Feng Ziying hurriedly responded, he didn't expect that his contemplation would actually attract the care and worry of the family, which also made him realize that his joys, sorrows, and sorrows had at least touched the hearts of so many people in the family.

After returning to her side after dinner, Feng Ziying sat down on the kang in the wing room next to the flower hall.

This has actually been transformed into a living room, well, it is used by the family to sit and chatter, especially in the winter, when the snow is falling outside, and the earth dragon is burning warm as spring, and even the outer robe has to be taken off so that it does not sweat.

"Xianggong, but when you go to Jiafu, you encounter something unsatisfactory?" Shen Yixiu asked casually.

Feng Ziying noticed that everyone in the room was looking at her, and it seemed that her trip to Jiafu Grand View Garden had attracted a lot of attention, and the change in her mood had added to their uneasiness.

"The Grand View Garden is indeed very beautiful and gorgeous, and it must definitely satisfy the concubine Niangniang, but now the imperial court is financially strapped for it, and in order to raise the military expenses of Liaodong, Sanbian and Denglai, it is all hollowed out, and the silver required by the river workers is also exhausted to make it up, but do you know how much silver was spent on Jiafu Garden?" Feng Ziying smiled faintly, "Four hundred thousand taels of silver!" And even more than that. ”

Feng Ziying's words made everyone present stunned and in disbelief.

Although they all know that the courtyard under construction in Jiafu is extraordinarily luxurious, but they all think that it is for the use of the concubine's relatives, and everyone takes it for granted, but since everyone guesses that this garden is only for the use of the provincial relatives, I am afraid that it is once every three or five years, even if it is luxurious, it is only 108,000 taels of silver, at most, it is a hundred thousand taels of silver, even if it is quite extravagant, I didn't expect it to be 400,000 taels, which is far beyond everyone's imagination.

"Maybe you may not have an idea of the 400,000 taels of silver, but let me say that the year before last when the Ningxia rebellion was quelled, the imperial treasury had no money, and the emperor forced him to have no choice, so he emptied his belongings from the inner treasury and scraped together 800,000 taels for the expenses of the western expedition to counter-rebel troops, 800,000 taels, which is just the garden of the two Jiafu, what do you think?"

Feng Ziying's words didn't have much emotion, but they were shocked when they heard the two maids, including Qingwen and Yunsheng, who were waiting on the side.

Even it was so difficult for the emperor to get 800,000 taels of silver out, so how could Jia Fu take 400,000 taels of silver to repair the garden? Just because the concubine is coming back for two nights?

But isn't the glory of the noble concubine also given by the emperor?

It feels like it's a bit of a reversal.

"Why didn't you persuade a few masters over there?" After all, it came out of Rongguo's mansion, although Qingwen didn't realize the deeper meaning hidden behind it, but she also knew that it was inappropriate, so she couldn't help but say.

Glancing at this girl, Feng Ziying said calmly: "Jiafu also has their difficulties, everyone is building, you don't build it, or if it is built coldly, you will feel that you are deliberately sweeping the emperor and losing the face of Wuxun, sometimes it seems that it is difficult to ride a tiger, but if you can calm down and think about it, you may not be able to figure out a truth, but this is not something that outsiders such as me can put their beaks, I am very curious about how I can't understand this truth after being trained in the palace like Guifei Niangniang?" ”

"Xianggong, I'm afraid the concubine should want to get it, but I may not be able to do it if I want it." Shen Yixiu thought for a while, "The concubine heard that the other concubines who were awarded together are all from ordinary small families, if these families can build a splendid mansion and win a piece of favor, then for a wealthy martial artist like the Jia family, one of the four great families in Jinling, it is extremely cold, what will the outside think?" For them, I'm afraid that the emperor's opinion is not easy to judge, but after all, they can rely on the face of the concubine to cover up one or two, if everyone is going hand in hand with the martial arts who look down on themselves, and even those poor families can be above themselves, that is the most unbearable. ”

I have to say that what Shen Yixiu said is also very reasonable, the emperor's preferences and attitudes are not easy to determine, and if it is built, it can be said that it adds glory to the royal family, or it can be said that it is extravagant and extravagant, and it can be said that it is poor, it can be said that it is thrifty, or it can be said that it has lost the face of the heavenly family, which is purely the emperor's own attitude.

But if you don't approve of it like the martial arts class, and think that your Ningrong Second Mansion can't even build a garden for your concubines, maybe you will feel that you really can't do it, and once you lose this credibility and impression, it will be worse than poor money, as for the contempt of the poor family, it is even more deadly, once it spreads, it will be difficult for the Rongning Second Mansion to gain a foothold in the Jingshi City.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying can also understand the difficulties of the Jia family.

Just like those private bosses in the previous life, even if you don't have the money to Mercedes-Benz Audi, you must get one, otherwise how can you negotiate business with others?

Ancient and modern, if Ning Rong's second mansion is stripped of its gold face, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move forward in the capital city, so even if it is borrowed and indebted, it will have to be carried over.

It's just that they didn't think that after carrying it over, it might not be Jun'en, maybe it would be a big pit.
