Verse 153 There is a mystery in gift-giving, and it is necessary to be sober in receiving gifts

Continuing to look down, Feng Ziying saw the gift from the King of Xining.

The king of Xining County himself did not arrive, but the prince came, and he was also a man in his thirties, but it seemed that the wine was excessive, and the gift he gave was a pair of jade Ruyi, according to Aunt Su's judgment, it should be around one thousand taels of silver.

Aunt Su's family is engaged in the jade business, and she is very discerning in this regard.

Feng Ziying believes that this should be the embodiment of the normal relationship between the four kings and the Feng family, a matter of about 1,000 taels of silver.

The king of Nan'an and the king of Beijing did not come, and the things they sent, such as paintings and calligraphy, and some gold and silver things, were worth about eight hundred taels of silver, which was not much different from the king of Xining County, which made Feng Ziying more and more suspicious of this generous gift from the king of Dongping.

In contrast, the Bagong Zhenguo Niu Jizong sent a direct gold of five hundred taels, and the gift sent by the Chen family of the Duke of Qi was a pair of jade pendants, but the quality of this jade pendant was much stronger than that of the king of Xining County, according to Aunt Su's valuation, at least more than five thousand taels of silver.

What the Marquis of Xiuguo's family sent was an ancient painting, which should be a painting "Willow Crow and Reed Goose" by Zhao Ji of Huizong of the former Song Dynasty, and the people in the house had no way to judge the value, because this ancient painting was indeed too deep, but Feng Ziying believed that the gift sent by the Duke of Xiuguo would not be a fake, and I am afraid it would not be less than five thousand taels of silver.

There are also people from Rongning Second Mansion, Rong Mansion is Jia Amnesty, and Ning Mansion is Jia Zhen.

What Rongguofu sent was a gold wire wrapped jade belt, which is said to be made by a famous family in the former Ming Dynasty, and there is no way to know how much it is worth, but it should be around two thousand taels, and Ning Guofu sent two complete tiger skins, which are estimated to be worth more than a thousand taels of silver.

Based on Feng Ziying's understanding of the current Rongning Second Mansion, I am afraid this can be regarded as a relatively important gift for the Rongning Second Mansion.

The heritage of Rongning Erfu has obviously opened up a gap with the other six dukes.

Needless to say, the Zhenguo Bull family is the Chen family of the Duke of Qi and the Hou family of the Duke of Xiuguo, Chen Ruiwen did not serve, and he was only a virtual general of Weizhen, but his sister-in-law was hung with the command of the dragon forbidden lieutenant, and the other second son served in the Xuanfeng battalion.

The Xuanfeng Battalion is also subordinate to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, which is actually formed by drawing a part of the mobile elite forces from the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion.

Hou Xiaokang, the Marquis of Xiuguo, also has only one hereditary first-class son, but his sister-in-law married the daughter of the eldest princess Princess Jianyang, that is, the eldest sister Wei Ruolan, and at the same time served as the head of the Zongren Mansion, which was a pretty good arrangement.

This is basically a review of the strength of the entire martial arts group, Feng Ziying silently figured it out, unless there is a special intention, if you walk back and forth according to normal human feelings, you can basically see a rough idea.

For example, the world friends below the twelve marquis who have a slightly close relationship with the Feng family are probably between five hundred and eight hundred, and the relationship is dull or even not coming, and the value of the gifts is between two hundred and four hundred taels.

But there are also some very close relations, such as the Han family of the Marquis of Jinxiang, who directly sent four pairs of gold bills, weighing one hundred and fifty taels and worth one thousand eight hundred taels of silver.

The Wei family also sent a pair of jade Ruyi, but the material was much better than that sent by the king of Xining County, at least worth two thousand taels.

"This is the Lantian jade sent by Hongwu General Chen Dao first?" Feng Ziying looked at this pair of jade bi, a little unsure, this is a bit too much, according to his judgment, it must be worth a lot.

"Brother Cong, this is the most valuable gift, according to your Aunt Su's estimate, it should be worth about 10,000 taels." The Duan family also knew Chen Daoxian, "The Feng family and their family do not have such a deep friendship, eight years ago, the old lady of the Chen family celebrated her birthday, and we only gave a jade Buddha, worth less than a thousand taels." ”

Feng Ziying was also quite puzzled and tricky.

Chen Yejun is quite familiar with himself, but the relationship is not as good as Han Qi and Wei Ruolan, and the relationship between the Chen family and the Feng family is not as good as the relationship between the Feng family and the Wei family and the Han family, but this Hongwu general not only came in person, but also sent such a pair of jade bibs, which is incredible.

"Anything out of the ordinary?" Feng Ziying couldn't figure it out, and he was sure that his father definitely didn't understand the intentions of this Hongwu general Chen Daoxian's actions.

"And a few more." Xiao Duan specifically pointed out a few in the roster for Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying took a cursory look at the gifts, all of which were worth about two thousand taels, and there were about five or six people, and except for two people, the others did not come, nor were they invited.

This kind of friendship, which can be said to have no contact, or at most a nodding friend, must have a plan to give a generous gift that has surpassed the relationship between the world, which is quite close.

Feng Ziying didn't look any further.

This kind of gift-giving, in his opinion, is nothing more than two kinds, one is to burn a cold stove, well, even if it is no longer a cold stove, those who are optimistic about the future of the Feng family or his father and himself come to occupy a place in advance and sell it well.

Feng Ziying will not refuse this.

Because he also needs this group in the future, it doesn't hurt to lay out some friendships in advance, and his own father also belongs to this group, so he naturally has a sense of closeness, and people think that you have a future to hold thick legs, which is normal, understandable and acceptable.

There is also a conspiracy, which refers to a specific situation, not the Feng family.

This is the most difficult to judge, and you can't even ask, like Dongping Junwang and Chen Daoxian, can you say that people are wrong?

But there is no doubt that there is never hatred and love in this world for no reason, so why give you thousands of taels of silver, unless you have a place that they have determined to be usable, and it is of great use, and not the kind that comes to buy a place for the stove first.

If you can't figure it out for a while, Feng Ziying won't worry about it, this kind of celebration and gift-giving, even the Metropolitan Procuratorate won't ask about it, unless your behavior obviously touches on some specific issues.

In a word, these days, there will never be a problem with receiving gifts, the key is whether your own behavior will go wrong, and if there is a problem, that is, pull the list together.

"Mother, aunt, just keep this list in a book, and I will write to my father to explain." Feng Ziying took a breath, raised her head and thought about it, "There's no need to make a fuss, my son can be regarded as a lifter, if he wins the Jinshi in the future, I'm afraid he will face more similar situations, who makes his son pay attention now?" ”

"But Brother Keng, these ......" Duan was still a little uneasy.

"It's okay, people come to congratulate, we can't turn it away, besides, if you really want any problems, it won't be because of this, the soldiers will block, the water will cover up, and my son knows how to deal with it." Feng Ziying waved her hand very chicly, "It's just right, didn't my mother say a few days ago that she wanted to spend money to buy the surrounding houses?" Isn't that right? ”

As soon as it came to this, the Duan clan was immediately not calm.

"Brother Cong, you have also seen today's situation, this six tables of guests can no longer be placed, and there are people and guests, the maids and boys in our house can no longer keep up, you are getting bigger, the side courtyard is too small, and you have to rearrange it, it turns out that because it is mainly for your father's recovery, I don't dare to think about this, and now I have to think about it."

"Mother means to buy the two houses in the east?" Feng Ziying knew that this was also something that her mother had planned for a long time.

I've been thinking about this since I came back from Datong, and the two houses in the east are also too dilapidated, and the close proximity to General Shenwu's Mansion is inevitably unsightly, but it's the old house of the two brothers, although it's dilapidated, you can't force people to renovate it, right?

At that time, my mother was intent on buying it, but the price was too high, and the two families probably figured out that this Shenwu general must have made a lot of money when he came back from Datong as a general soldier for one or two decades, so he naturally wanted to open his mouth, and his father had been unwilling to stay in Beijing for a long time after returning to Beijing, and wanted to recover, so he put it aside.

Now that my father has gone to Yulin Town, I watched the man leave, and I also felt that I was afraid that this business would not be profitable, so the price was put down a lot at once, and some time ago I even took the initiative to ask someone to come to the Feng family to ask if I had any intention of buying it.

"Well, Brother Keng, your two younger sisters will also get older, and they can't always follow your aunt's side, so my mother is also thinking, just your father doesn't want us to go to Yulin, so we have to consider living in this capital for a long time, the two houses in the east are tattered, but they are wide, and there is a pond, if we can buy the courtyard behind it, our Feng family can also use this place as an ancestral house,......"

Feng Ziying couldn't help but be speechless, why did this mother suddenly become so generous?

There are two next door to the east, and there are more than ten or twenty houses in the courtyard behind it, and it is not a simple matter to let these people move away and buy them these days.

Feng Mansion is indeed a little narrower, and it is not the same as the big mansions with garden backyards in Rong Mansion and Ning Mansion, but people are decades of national accumulation, you just came back from Datong, a miscellaneous general, can you compare?

"Mother, it's not easy to buy this complicated courtyard in the back, not to mention that there are too many people, and it's troublesome, and if you don't get it, you have to end up with a ,......reputation of buying and selling," Feng Ziying frowned.

"Brother Cong, I'm afraid you don't know, right? Heavy rain and waterlogging in July, a lot of houses fell outside the city, and after soaking in the big courtyard behind us for several days, twenty or thirty rooms fell in one night, and four or five were injured, but fortunately there were no dead people, and now most of this courtyard is in tatters, and it is impossible to live in it, and these people are not able to rebuild it at all, so they left it there, and some of them found out that we were interested in buying these two in the east, so they came to the door, hoping that we would be able to buy the big courtyard behind it,......"
