Section 132 Arbitrariness
The guest room is in the courtyard behind the newly built big flower hall behind Jia's mother's courtyard, which is side by side with the entire Grand View Garden, and an inner wall separates the entire garden from the courtyard outside.
Feng Ziying was also a little helpless when he was sent to the guest room courtyard, Jia Yuanchun's caution and worry he could understand, but this did not mean that he could really solve the disaster of raiding the family for their Jia family if he left him, so he could only say that he would do his best.
If you can't overcome problems that can't be overcome, you can't blame yourself.
From the small courtyard of the guest room, you can also see the lights on the Taiguan Tower in the northeast direction, and compared with the lively and joyful atmosphere in the courtyard, the courtyard in the northwest seems a little silent.
There is a lantern hanging above the steps of each small courtyard, which is not dim, but it can only reflect the light within a radius of one zhang.
And the entire northwest side of this road all the way down to the north, to the back wall of the Grand View Garden, Feng Ziying remembered that it seemed to have walked once, there should be more than a dozen small courtyards of different sizes, outside the back wall of the Grand View Garden, there is a large Shun Garden, which has to extend to the northeasternmost corner of the Lixiang Courtyard, and there are more than a dozen large and small courtyards that are closed, or semi-closed, or open.
The one or twenty small operas bought from Gusu Yangzhou and Hangzhou were placed in a slightly larger courtyard in the small courtyard of Zhou Rui's family closest to the top of the northwest corner.
A sandwich road to the east, you can see the main gate of the garden, Baochai and his family have moved from Lixiangyuan to the courtyard east of the main gate of the garden, from here, if the lantern is bright enough, you can faintly see.
I have to say that this Rongguo Mansion does have some heritage, although the second half of the Grand View Garden is taken up by a repair, but even so, the entire front half and the west side of the house are enough, no wonder thousands of people can crowd here.
It was the mandarin duck who led Feng Ziying to the small courtyard of the guest room.
This girl took the initiative to ask for help.
Over there, Jia Yuanchun should still be gossiping with relatives such as Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, even if the time is a little late, but it is rare to come back, and he is emotional, and he will inevitably have to say everything.
And Feng Ziying estimated that she also accepted her own suggestion, and would talk to Jia Zheng and his wife and even Jia Yu and other important and key figures in the house one by one, of course, different people will use different angles and content, light or heavy, deep or shallow, bright or dark, this wisdom Feng Ziying believes that Jia Yuanchun is not lacking.
"Uncle has something on his mind?" The mandarin duck carried a sheepskin lantern, and the dim light flame was reflected through the special sheepskin, producing a strange halo, which looked particularly soft and poignant around the surroundings, and even the faces of the two of them became clear and charming under the moonlight and light.
"Oh?" Feng Ziying was surprised, he liked this No. 1 girl in Jiafu very much, although she was not as handsome and spicy as Qingwen, nor as gentle and lovely as Ping'er, but that fresh and playful with a little liveliness and alertness still made Feng Ziying appreciate it very much, and even a little excited.
Feng Ziying couldn't understand how he came to this world and his personality had changed a lot, and he thought that he might have consciously or unconsciously substituted into this sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who didn't know how precious he was and was too indulgent when he came to see the tears in the air, but sometimes he reflected and found that he didn't seem to be the kind of person who had to go to bed with a burning ditch girl, but felt that beautiful things should belong to his philatelic habit.
Just like Yunshang, if you want to pick up this flower, you can do it at any time, but you can still endure it until now, but I feel that I still owe the shortcomings so naturally that the romantic opportunity will come naturally.
If you have this opportunity to encounter such beauty, why can't you let this beauty belong to yourself? Do you have to become a thousand red and cry and be sad to be satisfied, that is really a pervert.
A pure woman like Mandarin Duck, whether she finally falls into the clutches of Jia Yu or commits suicide and is martyred, Feng Ziying is unacceptable, even if she doesn't belong to herself, at least she should provide her with a path she is willing to take.
"How do you see that?" Feng Ziying didn't hide it, and he didn't know why, he was unwilling to hide anything in front of the mandarin duck.
"The slave maid also saw the mother from the main hall and came out with a thoughtful look on her face, and it seemed to be very heavy,......" The mandarin duck carefully observed the changes in Feng Ziying's face.
Feng Ziying nodded slightly, "There is indeed something wrong." ”
"Is it related to the house?" The mandarin duck asked in a low voice again, but there was a little more sorrow between his eyebrows.
Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows in surprise, took the sheepskin lantern in the mandarin duck's hand, pushed open the gate of the small courtyard, and went straight inside.
The mandarin duck followed, but was a little uneasy.
A girl followed the male master into the yard, a lonely man and a widow, and her reputation was not good.
"Come in, are you still afraid that your master will eat you?" It was the first time Feng Ziying had seen the mandarin duck's uneasy appearance, but she quickly realized, "Afraid that the people in the house will chew their tongues?" ”
The mandarin duck's face was slightly red, but he didn't squeak, and still followed.
"Whoever dares to chew the master's tongue, the master will cut his tongue." Feng Ziying pretended to be vicious, but she made the mandarin duck happy.
"The master doesn't have to worry about those, but the slave and maid have to ......" The mandarin duck's eyebrows were a little more shy, and the softness was touching.
"Afraid of bad reputation?" Feng Ziying chuckled, "Then come to the master's mansion!" If it weren't for the fact that the old lady couldn't leave you, the master would have opened his mouth to the old lady a long time ago, and there is really a lack of a person like you in my house to be in charge, Qingwen has a dry temperament, Jin Chu'er has to guard over there, Xiangling is an honest person who swallows water, and Yunshang is too simple,......"
The mandarin duck shook his head, but a touch of worry appeared on his face, "Thank you uncle, the slave can't leave the house now,......"
Feng Ziying was keenly aware of something, and raised her gaze, "Mandarin ducks? ”
"After the ancestor and the mother spoke, their faces were ugly, and the mood was not very good, although they couldn't see it later, but the slave knew that the ancestor was forcing a happy face,......" Mandarin duck said in a low voice, "So after the master entered the hall, the slave and the maid have also been observing, the master is the only outsider that the mother wants to see, and the face is just as dignified after the master comes out, and the slave knows that something is wrong." ”
This girl is careful, Feng Ziying sighed, "Hmm,......"
"But it has something to do with the house?" The mandarin duck carefully took the lantern, then lit the lantern on the courtyard door in the small courtyard with a fire, and then went into the house to light the candle on the wax table on the table in Feng Ziying's guest bedroom, but the worry and worry in his tone did not decrease.
Feng Ziying sat down and took a look, he didn't know whether the mandarin duck was going to ask himself, or he was instructed by Jia's mother to inquire, Feng Ziying estimated that the latter was more likely, but it didn't matter.
After Jia Yuanchun's provincial proximity this time, the situation in Jiafu is afraid that it will get worse and worse, especially the completion of this Grand View Garden, which costs a lot, not only may attract the impeachment of the imperial history, but also the key is that Jiafu is a garden built by borrowing foreign debts, even if it does not count the 150,000 taels of silver lent by Daiyu, nor the tens of thousands of taels lent to them by the Xue family, they still borrow a lot outside.
Moreover, the old foundation of Jiafu Gongzhong has been tossed away, and if there is no other change, the future will only become more and more difficult.
"It's not entirely the reason now, the key is that your house is sitting and eating empty, thousands of people up and down, even gold and silver mountains have to be empty, and you have to talk about noodles, you can't lose face, how much savings do you still have? How long does it take to turnaround? ”
Feng Ziying glanced at the mandarin duck, although Wang Xifeng was in charge of the silver in the public bank, but the mandarin duck must have known, otherwise he would not be able to pass the mandarin duck level if he took out Jia's mother's old belongings at the end of each year.
The mandarin duck was stunned, it was not easy to answer, she knew the details, but she did not dare to reveal it to outsiders, even if Feng Ziying and the Jia family were so close.
"There is no open source, it will only throttle, no matter how you can't get by, Baoyu doesn't like to read, Jia Huan Jialan still has to take time, the two masters are either self-exalted, or short-sighted, Brother Zhen is busy with Gaole all day long, and Second Brother Lian also sighs at these things in the house, and would rather go to Haitong Yinzhuang to go his own way, how long can he survive this day? One year, three years, or five years? Feng Zi's tone was very relaxed and disapproving.
"Uncle, I'm afraid what Niang Niang and you are talking about is not just about the difficulty of maintaining the money in the house, right?" The mandarin duck was keenly aware of something, "There must be something else." ”
"Yes, but it's not enough for outsiders, and it's no good for you to know, just care about the cost of getting in and out of the house." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "There are some things that cannot be reversed by manpower, so you have to follow the trend, otherwise it will be difficult to fight against the general trend even if you have the ability to turn the sky upside down." ”
Feng Ziying's words made it difficult for Mandarin Duck to understand for a while, but she roughly understood that this should be a not very good hint.
Sighing softly, the mandarin duck pursed his lips and nodded, indicating his understanding, "Then can you help the house?" ”
"Isn't it in the house yet?" Feng Ziying asked rhetorically: "Baoyu and Brother Huan, there is Brother Lan next, didn't you help?" As for the harvest income in your house, you are not the master of your house, so you can't have to worry about all these expenses and expenses for your house, right? Aren't the men and women of the Jia Mansion going to change their surnames to Feng? ”
The mandarin duck glanced at Feng Ziying coquettishly, but she also understood that what people said was reasonable, but she couldn't get over her face, and snorted lightly, "The master is a big benefactor in the house, the big guys understand, and the slaves and maids also know, but just ask the uncle to help more, why be so mean?" ”
This expression and words were a little flirtatious, Feng Ziying's heart fluttered, and she couldn't help but want to hold the mandarin duck's hand.
