Feng Ziying hasn't been to Daguanlou for a long time.

From afar, I saw a bustling crowd of people, with a lot of traffic and endless streams, and it was already overcrowded from both ends of the street, but mainly there were too many vendors.

Along the road, there are those who sell sugar gourds, those who make candy, those who sell fried goods, those who peddle Hu cakes and cooking cakes, and those who directly set up a wooden table to sell the sour plum juice.

Even in an open space outside the theater garden, a juggler was taking a macaque around to beat gongs, ready to pull up a circle and sell it.

The macaque was also obedient, staggering but nimbly running in a circle, and the gong tied with the red rope in his hand was struck by it properly, and some guests who had not yet entered the venue or had no place simply gathered in a circle and watched the juggling first.

The carriage drove slowly past and detoured behind the opera garden, where the parking was.

Feng Ziying carefully helped Shen Yixiu get out of the car, and Qingwen also hurriedly put down Shen Yixiu's hat and curtain.

Shen Yixiu's Tianqi finally didn't come, and the Feng Mansion hurriedly invited Lang Zhong to come to check the pulse, which made the Feng Mansion overjoyed, and the young grandmother was finally pregnant.

Shen Yixiu, who was pregnant, became a little lively, not only did she eat a lot, but she was also more reluctant to stay in the house, and she wanted to go out this spring.

I just stepped into the green the day before yesterday, and I want to watch the play again today.

Originally, I couldn't invite the troupe to the house to perform a play, but I have to say that the courtyard in the mansion is still a little smaller, and the troupe can't show it when they come in.

Feng Ziying also thought that she might be about to leave Jingshi City, and Shen Yixiu obviously couldn't follow her far away after she became pregnant, and she didn't have much time to accompany her, so she agreed to accompany her to watch the play.

"Be careful, don't go too fast." Shen Yixiu, who was pregnant, immediately became the key protection object of the whole house, and even took Feng Ziying with him to pay special attention, not sure if he still had the ability to make a woman pregnant after crossing into this world, and now he can finally let go of his heart.

Also happy about Shen Yixiu's pregnancy is You Shuangshu, so that they can no longer have so many taboos to contraception.

The two girls are too tall, and Second Sister You also wore a hat and followed closely behind Shen Yixiu, but Third Sister You was the same as before? simply changed into men's clothes, a bunch of busts to strangle the bulging chest, and put on a green silk robe? Face like a crown of jade? Full red lips? The eyes are gray and blue, and they look even more heroic.

"How can it be so delicate, it's only been more than a month." Seeing her husband so careful? Shen Yixiu likes it in his heart? But on the surface, he said coquettishly: "There are still eight or nine months left, and the husband is like this, isn't it that the concubine can't even get out of the door?" Left in bed? ”

"Wrong? If you have a body, should you pay more attention to appropriate activities? Do you want to move more every day? But should we pay attention to the form of the activity? Some are too large to avoid? Walking is the best way to do this, but be careful about going up and down the stairs to avoid falling. ”

Feng Ziying was serious and authentic, but it made Shen Yixiu very curious, "Xianggong also understands medicine?" ”

"Have you studied with Master Zhang for two years? Is the basic medical theory still understood? But he didn't dare to prescribe medicine. Feng Ziying shook her head? " But like the health care of pregnant women? But I do. ”

Seeing that her husband is so exquisite, Shen Yixiu likes it even more, and the young woman's style between her eyebrows is mixed with a sweetness? It's fascinating to watch.

However, Shen Yixiu is still very good at paying attention to the emotions of all parties, and seeing that Second Sister You is following closely, he turned his head sideways and whispered: "Sister You family is going to step up, but my mother-in-law said that I hope that the two sisters of the You family will also give birth to a boy and a half girl for Xianggong as soon as possible,......"

Second Sister You was also overjoyed, looking forward to Shen Yixiu's words.

Although the mother-in-law thinks so, she also has to take care of the mentality of the eldest woman, what if this Shen Yixiu gives birth to a daughter and she is pregnant and gives birth to a son? Although there will be no disputes, it is inevitable that some women with little energy will feel uncomfortable.

The problem is that now Feng Lang only has two concubines for himself and his sister, and now Shen Yixiu can't sleep when she is pregnant, most of the time she sleeps with her two sisters, it can be said that now is the best opportunity for the two sisters, maybe wait a little longer, once another woman enters the house, then it will be a little more pampering.

So with this sentence, Second Sister You pondered that her sisters could rest assured and boldly prepare for pregnancy without needing to calculate the time, just hoping to be pregnant with a boy and a girl as soon as possible, and also let her sisters gain a firm foothold in the Feng family, so that they no longer had to worry about other women sharing favors.

Liu Xianglian came out to greet her, and saw Feng Ziying supporting Shen Yixiu, and Liu Xianglian also came up to salute.

Shen Yixiu had also seen Liu Xianglian, and knew that this was a discussion with his father-in-law's brother, so he also generously went to the hat to greet him.

"Didn't you say that my brother and sister were pregnant? Why did you come out and not be afraid of being scolded by your aunt? Liu Xianglian saw that Shen Yixiu and Feng Ziying's two concubines were here, he knew that the Feng family valued Shen Yixiu, the eldest woman's firstborn, and let the Daduan family know about it, Feng Ziying would definitely be scolded again.

"It's okay, it's still early, appropriate activities, watching a play can also relieve her mood, staying in the house all day, she is also bored." Feng Ziying explained.

Liu Xianglian also knew that Feng Ziying still cherished and respected this wife, and thought for a while: "There are so many noisy people in such places, especially when playing the play, it is inevitable that there will be shouting and shouting, and you will inevitably be frightened. ”

Liu Xianglian was kind, but she also felt that Lin Daiyu was already engaged to Feng Ziying anyway, the second daughter would be a concubine sooner or later, and the other daughters would also be relatives with Feng Ziying, so it was reasonable to come to Feng's mansion to sit down, but she didn't expect Feng Ziying to be playing drums in her heart.

The matter of this Baochai has not yet been spread, Shen Yixiu knows it, but even Daiyu is still in the dark, Tanchun and Xiangyun don't know, these two daughters Feng Ziying can feel the deepening affection for himself, he doesn't dare to pat his chest and say how deep the affection these two women have for him, but Feng Ziying can feel the affection that is absent.

This is not counting the spring that is now burning eyebrows, thinking that if these girls all come to the house, in case that sentence is missed, I am afraid that it will immediately become a Shura field, thinking of this, Feng Ziying shuddered.

But this Liu Xianglian is still in front of Shen Yixiu and Er You's proposal, he is really not good to say negative, he hasn't had time to speak, Shen Yixiu is already happy, "Yes, Xianggong, tomorrow I will invite Sister Lin and several other sisters to come to the house to sit down, don't you arrange someone to make a few pairs of bamboo and wood chess cards, I and Sister You at home, there are not enough people to play, let a few sisters come over, just teach them, play together." ”

After Shen Yixiu was now pregnant, Duan's asked Shen Yixiu to stop chanting poems and painting, saying that poetry and painting were laborious and not good for his body.

Shen Yixiu is also very bored to stay in the mansion all day long, and he just needs other entertainment methods to kill time.

Feng Ziying wanted to do this mahjong after coming back that day, and drew the pattern by herself, so she arranged for the carpenter in the house to pick some bamboo and wood for cutting and polishing, and then let Feng Runxiang come to two carvers, and in less than a day or two, a few sets of exquisite mahjong tiles have been made.

Feng Ziying simply taught Shen Yixiu and Er You the rules of the game, because there were many things and they hadn't officially played it yet, so Shen Yixiu and Er You didn't know how much magic this thing would have.

"Chess?" Liu Xianglian was also very curious, "Ziying, you still make chess and cards, what kind of chess and cards?" Chess? ”

"No, it's a fresh object that the younger brother pondered out from the horse tag, and it has just been made, and the second brother Liu will come to the house to take a look in the future." Feng Ziying said happily.

He was even already thinking about how quickly this thing would become popular throughout the city, although the boatmen and porters on the canal already had this thing, but they were all painted on paper, not to mention very rough, and there was no crisp and energetic play after this kind of bamboo and wood polishing, and the taste of mahjong rubbing was not comparable to that of cards.

A few people were talking, and someone had already led Feng Ziying and his party to the private room on the second floor.

Shen Yixiu has never been to Daguanlou, and is very curious about this kind of ring-shaped private room theater, and the seats in the private room are also divided into three rows, showing a situation where the front is low and the back is high, the front is narrow and the back is wide, for example, the first row can seat two people, the second row can seat four people, and the third row can seat six people.

The room is not only equipped with coffee table tea, but also a variety of fruit cakes, which can be described as a real VIP private room level.

Watching a scene is also relaxing, but it doesn't mean much to Feng Ziying, he doesn't like this pastime originally, and he might as well play mahjong.

But he has not appeared for a long time, which means that he may gradually lose his influence and control for Daguanlou, a carrier platform that he has painstakingly built and operated in the early stage, although Liu Xianglian is reliable, but Feng Ziying is unwilling to test people's hearts.

Jia Yun was also forced to leave from Daguanlou, Haitong Yinzhuang Jingshi needed a more capable man to help Jia Lian, and Feng Ziying couldn't rush to find a replacement when Jia Lian was leaving.

Without Jia Yun, and Xue Pan's ability is seriously insufficient, it is impossible for Han Qi and Wei Ruolan to focus on this grand view building, many things can only be decided by Liu Xianglian alone, I can't see it now, but it will be difficult to say in the future.

It's not that I expect much from the profit and income of this grand view building, but that such a place where people come and go, especially the dignitaries and nobles in the capital city, will often play an unexpected role.

Just like discovering the signs of Yang Yinglong's instability, this has become the most effective place to monitor Yang Yinglong's intelligence personnel in the capital city, and the connection between the people of the Ministry of War and the Department of Communications and Yang Yinglong's intelligence personnel was discovered here, and Feng Ziying believes that with the growing reputation of Daguanlou, how can this place be connected with the intelligence system that Wang Wenyan is working on building and cultivating, and will play a greater role.

The "Folding Willows" of "The Story of the Purple Hairpin" staged on the stage, looking at Shen Yixiu and You Shuangshu, plus Qingwen, Yunshang and others, they were all fascinated, and Feng Ziying quietly got up except for the private room.

Ni Er was already waiting on the sidelines.

"Uncle." Seeing Feng Ziying coming downstairs, Ni Er, who looked like a rich gentry, immediately followed.

Feng Ziying looked Ni Er up and down, and then nodded, "Well, Ni Er, your identity is different now, and you have more time to deal with the above, so you need to pay attention to it, you must keep an eye on the things that are ordinary and below, but you don't necessarily need to take action in person, many times you have to be more attentive than hard,......"

Ni Er nodded again and again, "What the uncle said is that the uncle taught me a lesson a few years ago, so I paid attention to it, and I have already handed over the operation of pulling dung in the city to the third child, but he has a frizzy temperament, and I don't dare to lose my hand, and even if it is a matter of dealing with the Ministry of Industry and the construction of Shuntianfu, I am personally doing ,......."

Feng Ziying bowed slightly, "What about what I told you?" ”

"Don't worry, uncle, I have personally arranged to look for these people, Mr. Wenyan has been here a few times, and he has also selected some people,......"

Ni Er observed Feng Ziying's expression, Wang Wenyan came to him and chose several capable people, which made him very heartbroken, but this was Feng Ziying's personal explanation, and it was also an opportunity for those people, Ni Er could only let go, although he didn't know what Wang Wenyan was going to do, but it was definitely an important thing, and his own belongings could not be compared.

"Ni Er, be more open-minded, these people will have a transformation in the future, speaking of which, it is also carried out by your Second Master Ni, and you also have a light on your face." Feng Ziying smiled.

There are a large number of people in Ni Shiren, but in addition to the local people in Jingshi City, a considerable part of them are displaced people from various prefectures in Beizhili who have fled to Beijing City in the past one or two decades due to floods, droughts and locust plagues, and even some of the displaced people from Shandong and Liaodong.

They themselves or their parents or even their ancestors fled to Jingshi City, and then slowly settled down, engaged in all kinds of menial labor in Jingshi City, and became a huge group at the bottom of Jingshi City, and a considerable number of backbone members of Ni Shuang's subordinates were from these people.

Among them, in addition to the counties of Shuntianfu, especially the birthplace is Baodingfu, Hejian and Yongping around Suntianfu.

Feng Ziying wants Wang Wenyan to quickly open up the situation in the north, especially to create an intelligence network, it is essential to have enough manpower, and where these people come from mainly depends on Ni Er, the head snake.

After Ni Er took over the manure and water removal and transportation work in Jingshi City, the manpower under his hands increased exponentially, and later, under the guidance of Feng Ziying, he and the military department set up with the Shuntian Mansion, and the manpower increased further.

Now there are six or seven hundred people who eat under Ni's second-hand side, not counting those who were temporarily summoned, except for some of his original work of opening a casino and private kiln in the nursing home, mainly asking for manure and other works to be responsible for the construction of dredging ditches, Caohe River and even some facilities in the city, which requires a large number of manpower.

It is precisely because Ni has abundant manpower under the second-hand hand, and most of these people are from the surrounding prefectures and counties of Shuntian Mansion, and many of them still have relatives and friends in their hometowns, so this is also the best target group for Wang Wenyan to choose.

And Wang Wenyan is extremely picky about picking people, and picking away all the characters that Ni Er can also look up to, which naturally makes Ni Er's heart ache.

"That's, that's." Ni Er can only admit it, having said that, Feng Ziying is right, in case these guys have a chance to make a difference in the future, then he can also straighten his waist and speak harder.

"And Jarry is here?" Feng Ziying asked again.

"I came, but I didn't say anything, I just said that you asked him to come, I talked to him for a while, this guy is very cunning, and he didn't show anything."

Ni Er was also very curious about Feng Ziying's arrangement for this Jia Rui to come to him, Feng Ziying didn't say anything specific, only said that it had something to do with the things in Jiafu, and now Ni Er still has thousands of taels of silver in debt that he hasn't received in Jiafu, and he is thinking about how to collect debts, but he didn't expect this Jia Rui to collect debts for others.

"Ni Er, Master Pardon, Brother Zhen and Brother Rong, they have made a lot of money from you, right?" Feng Ziying said with a smile.

Ni Er smiled, "Master, you didn't have this idea, did you?" Then my reputation will stink in the future, and who will give us the work. ”

"That's not it, this silver originally belonged to Jiafu, and Master Pardon and Brother Zhen were originally the masters of Jiafu, and the doorway itself here is not clear, Jiafu arranges suitable candidates by itself, and there is no supervision system, and it is inevitable that such problems will occur." Feng Ziying shook her head, "But there are still people in Jiafu who have made a lot of money from it, and they can even make more money than a few masters,......

Ni Er's eyes lit up, and then he hesitated a little, "Uncle, aren't you talking about the Lai family?" ”

I have to say that the Lai family really has a bit of a row in the Jia family, Rao is Jia Yu and Jia Zhen teamed up, although they won part of the work, but there are still some jobs for purchasing objects that have been taken down by the Lai family, and this income is also not small, because the Lai family is more ruthless.

For example, almost all the flowers and trees in the garden were contracted by the Lai family, and for example, when the garden was built, a considerable part of the wood was also contracted by the Lai family, and the main building of Taiguanlou was also built by Lai Da, so he almost tore his face with Jia Yu, and finally Jia's mother came forward and handed it over to the Lai family, which also made Jia Yu extremely angry, and at the same time made Ni Er, who had always wanted to take it, quite annoyed.

"Well, do you see what I mean?" Feng Ziying smiled.

Ping'er came to find Feng Ziying again yesterday, but Feng Ziying was not there, but Feng Ziying roughly knew the purpose of Ping'er's coming to find her, and originally said that she would wait a little longer and then pick up this Jia Mansion pus.

But things are so coincidental, Feng Ziying soon got a piece of news that the son of the Lai family seems to be going to be appointed as an official soon.

Ren Guan, foreign official, go to office, the son of the Lai family is going out to be an official, but the Jia family doesn't seem to have gotten the news at all, which is too strange.
