Just when Jia Baoyu and Ping'er were talking and gradually entering the port, the big house over there finally rested.

Sent away Feng'er, who wiped his body clean, Wang Xifeng lazily reclined on the kang, listening to the following attacks from the hands of the man next to him.

"You asked me to investigate, but I've found out, but I'm afraid it's useless to spend such a big battle, right? Does the master really plan to marry his second sister to the Feng family? I don't think the Feng family will agree. ”

Wang Xifeng slowly calmed down and fell asleep, "Look at the majesty of the Feng family, if the second sister is your mother's compatriot, there is still some hope, but it's a pity that she voted for the wrong mother's fetus." ”

"Well, with this in mind, what can I do?" Jia Lian was also very helpless, "The master always thinks that our family is a second prince, and the Feng family is just a martial arts general, but that is all the old Huang calendar, you know the current situation of our family, Sister Feng, but the Feng family is not only Feng Tang is expected to be a laissez-faire official, Brother Cong can take the test if he doesn't get it right, can it be the same?" ”

He had long thought that Feng Ziying was willing to marry his sister?

Yingchun looks really good, and her physique and body do look like a child who can give birth, but now Feng Ziying's popularity is growing and the tide is rising, I am afraid that many people will look at the position of this wife, where will it be the turn to get her sister?

If it is said to be a concubine or a concubine, it is too wronged, and the Jia family will never accept this kind of thing.

"Then why does the old man have to look at this Feng family? Is there no one suitable for the second sister in this Jingshi City, except for the Feng family? Wang Xifeng disagreed.

"The master also has his thoughts, didn't he ask you to inquire about the Feng family's livelihood? How, exactly? Jia Lian withdrew his hand and put his hands behind his head.

"I've inquired about it, but I can only get a rough idea of these things, and I'm afraid that many of the things hidden behind may not be clear." Wang Xifeng pondered and said: "I heard that the main livelihood of the Feng family is still in Datong, I don't know how many there are, but I heard that there are gold and silver shops, crude medicine shops, leather shops and cloth shops, there must be half a street, and there are several big Zhuangzi, all of which are well-watered fields." ”

"Oh, I didn't expect this Feng family's belongings to be so rich?" Jia Lian was taken aback.

"Do you think that people with one door and three rooms have been in Datong for so many years, and the chief soldier is a vegetarian?" Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes, "This is only in Datong, Linqing is the old mansion of the Feng family, I heard that it is being renovated, and the idle vacant land around it has been bought, it seems that the ancestral house is going to be renovated, the Feng family has nothing to make a living in Linqing, only a few hundred acres of land, and there are several shops in Linqing City, all of which are rented to others,......

"Can you inquire about all of this?" Jia Lian really admires his daughter-in-law, who can understand the privacy of such people so carefully and concretely, which shows his daughter-in-law's ability to investigate.

"It's not a secret, the Feng family, well, the big and small Duan family, that is, the mother and aunt of the Feng family are two sisters, well, the aunt is a wife, the big Duan family has not been born, so let the little Duan family marry later, who knows that after marrying the past, it was the big Duan family who gave birth to the Feng family Lang, and the Feng family said that the Xiao Duan family brought blessings to the past so that the sister could give birth to a son, and the Feng family was also brought up by the Xiao Duan family since childhood, so the Feng family is also very able to speak, that is, she is in charge of the Feng family's livelihood inside and outside, On the contrary, Da Duan's didn't ask much. ”

Jia Lian also felt interesting when he heard this, "I didn't expect Dalang's family to be so interesting, it was actually my aunt's housekeeper." ”

"Each family has its own origin, and our Rongguo Mansion was not also my aunt's housekeeper before I married in?"

Wang Xifeng said lightly, which immediately made Jia Lian's face stiffen, but he didn't dare to take the topic.

Everyone knows that the ancestor likes the second uncle, and although his father is the boss, he is not treated by the ancestor, but what can you do?

Filial piety is greater than heaven, and you have to bear it.

Fortunately, Wang Xifeng did not stimulate his own man anymore, but continued to say the Feng family: "The Feng family also has some shops in Jingshi City, it seems that there are many shops in Xianyifang, Dashi Yongfang, and Nanxunfang, and there are also many shops in Faxiangfang, in addition to renting to other families, there are also their own cloth, silk and satin shops, gold and silver shops, crude medicine shops, and there are also two Zhuangzi in Wanping outside the city. ”

Jia Lian gasped, "In this way, this Feng family doesn't think it's worse than our Rongguo Mansion, no wonder the old man always says that the Feng family is a turtle with meat in the stomach." ”

Wang Xifeng sneered, "Not only is it not worse than our Rong Mansion, if it was ten or twenty years ago, the Feng family would definitely not be able to compare with our family, but now, I'm afraid that one by one has already fallen, and you don't know how much the family has sold in the past few years?" There is no man in the family who can support the row, and the second uncle is a pedantic person who only knows Ying Mao, and he has not seen some livelihood expenses for the people in the house. How many years can it last? ”

Jia Lian bowed his head and said nothing, it was not his turn to say this, everyone in this house had their own calculations and ideas, the ancestors, their fathers and mothers, and the second uncles and aunts all had their own thoughts, and it was indeed not easy for Sister Feng to be this family.

"Look at the Feng family, so much income, I have inquired, there are only less than 100 people in the mansion, the Feng family is the only son of their Feng family, there is only one personal servant and a personal girl, the size of the mansion is afraid that it is less than 20% of our Rongguo Mansion, but there are still people who have been out as chief soldiers for decades, I don't know how much silver they have come back,......"

"......, look at our family again, hum, it's just that, no wonder the lord wants to marry this family business, if the second sister can marry in the past, I'm afraid that I can bring a little back to my parents' house from time to time in the future to help make up for my sister-in-law, right?"

As soon as he talked about silver, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but smack his lips, and his eyes were red with envy.

Everyone knows that the army is the best way to make money, and the officials of the Beijing Dynasty naturally can't compare, even the officials in that place can't compare with the generals in the army, that Feng Tang has been a general in Datong for decades, and he doesn't know how much money he has saved.

Jia Lian couldn't help but smack his lips, "Actually, if the second uncle wants to make a living, then the Ministry of Industry still has a lot of oil and water, but the second uncle is too pedantic and doesn't understand the world at all, and people don't want to work with him, so naturally there is no chance." ”

Wang Xifeng didn't know this, his aunt married such a pedantic master, but it was a pity that such a big signboard of the Jia family and such a position given by the Emperor Taishang were wasted.

"I'm afraid that the second uncle's temperament has long been fixed, and he doesn't have a chance, but this Feng family, maybe he can really be a little bit of a doorway." Wang Xifeng pondered carefully, "I heard that the Feng family is not only here, but also has some doorways outside the Saiwai, maybe things like salt, iron, tea and horses can also find some livelihood." ”

"To put it lightly, why did the Feng family give us these doorways? Gold and silver are red-eyed, wealth is moving, who is willing to let it out? They also have a large family to support. Jia Lian shook his head, "Unless the second sister can join the Feng family, this kind of thing is impossible." ”

The two of them were just talking one sentence at a time on the bed, but they forgot that there were still Ping'er and Feng Ziying staring at each other.

"The second grandmother didn't catch up with the good time when she came, and the wife was not in good health, so she handed over the big and small things in the house to the second grandmother, and the second grandmother was also busy day and night, and she was so tired that she ,......dizzy several times."

Ping'er also said good things for her master, but these words were a little funny in Feng Ziying's ears.

When will it be his turn to listen to the "work report" of Jiafu, how Wang Xifeng manages the house has nothing to do with him, and it is not his turn to talk, but when people say so, he can't help but agree.

"There are many people in the house, and the expenses are large, so it is inevitable, but Miss Ping'er is a good helper of the second grandmother, so she can naturally share the worries of the second grandmother." Feng Ziying said with a smile: "And that mandarin duck girl, I think she is also shrewd and capable, and she can completely help Grandma Lian take care of it." ”

Ping'er didn't expect Feng Ziying to have such a good impression of Mandarin Duck when she first arrived, she and Mandarin Duck are also good sisters, so they are naturally happy.

"The stupid appearance of the slave maid, where can I share the worries of the second grandmother? It's true that the mandarin duck will definitely do it, but the mandarin duck has to take care of the affairs of the ancestors, and he doesn't have the energy,......"

"Then only after Baoyu gets married in a few years, Baoyu's bride will come to help Grandma Lian."

Feng Ziying almost said that Tanchun could do it, but suddenly thought that Tanchun was only nine years old now, how could he afford to manage this family?

In the book "Dream of Red Mansions", I should be fifteen or sixteen years old when I visit my relatives in six or seven years, and I can only bear this burden after I have experienced it.

There is also Xue Baochai, if you want to say that Xue Baochai should be going to Beijing this year, right?

That Jia Yucun is going to Yingtianfu to take up his post in the next year, and I don't know if the gourd monk gourd case will happen? I must have changed something about what happened in this time and space, but the specific subtleties are not clear.

Seeing that the Feng family's face was gradually getting better, it was estimated that the strength of the wine had passed, but he didn't hear any movement over there, and Ping'er was also a little panicked.

Although this young man is three or four years younger than himself, he looks like an adult man no matter how he looks, and it is never a matter to stay in a room, but he can't find a suitable reason to leave.

Finally heard someone calling the door outside the courtyard gate, Ping'er quickly stood up, "Uncle Feng, you rest, the slave maid goes out to have a look." ”
