Volume B Section 152 Burning? (Make up for yesterday's update!) )
There is no feast in the world.
The guests finally dispersed.
Feng Ziying was tired enough, but she was not happy at all in her heart.
He realized that he was still in a bad position for Wang Ziteng, and this guy was definitely not as simple as celebrating his own move, but had his own intentions.
At least it's not purely for himself, but his reputation is all carried by himself.
He felt that Wang Ziteng's big move was intentional, well, it was like a temptation, like a pull, and more like a declaration.
But what to test, the purpose of wooing, what to declare, and who to see, Feng Ziying is still unsure.
But this action is aimed at nothing more than a few aspects of people, the Emperor Taishang, Prince Yizhong, and the emperor, well, even those people in this group who see the wind and rudder at both ends, and even may include people in these aspects.
Fortunately, I realized something, so I made arrangements, otherwise I would really become a tool man in vain.
Wang Ziteng already has a different heart, or some ambitions.
This is Feng Ziying's judgment, but he only has a different heart and ambition, but it should still be in an embryonic state, and he wants to grasp something more.
Jingying Jiedu has not done it for nothing in the past few years, and he has indeed attracted some people, well, to be precise, it is only a part of the martial arts group that came today, and he is deliberately releasing some signals.
Of course, his ambition does not mean that he wants to rebel, but that he wants to have more capital and more benefits in the future game.
It's really a fight, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle.
This person is not the kind of abrupt and reckless person, so the action is still very steady, at least you can't see the clue now, and even bring a feeling to any aspect, well, that is, he may have been ready to throw himself to my side, but because of various factors, I need to keep a low profile, but you can trust me, I have always been on your side.
I have to say that it is not easy to play this play in place, it is more like walking a tightrope, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be displeasing at both ends, and finally play yourself in.
Until all the guests were sent away, only Zhang Jin and Zhao Wenzhao were left in the end.
"Ziying, do it yourself, in my opinion, you have a great future in the future, it is unlimited, there must be a place for you in the imperial palace, there is no need to mix with these."
Before leaving, Zhang Jin still gave a word of advice.
Zhang Jin's words still touched Feng Ziying a little, but she didn't expect that the most reliable person was actually from Long Banwei.
This can't help but think of Liu Xianglian's words, often the most reliable you think are actually the most cruel to you.
Zhang Jin's advice undoubtedly saw something, and it should be heartfelt.
In his opinion, since Feng Ziying has made it clear that he wants to take the road of civil officials, there is no need to get involved too deeply with these martial nobles, but he doesn't know his own thoughts and ambitions, so Feng Ziying only has a heart.
However, today's banquet is not all for nothing, at least Feng Ziying can see some clues from Wang Ziteng, and at the same time, she can also more deeply understand the weight of this martial arts group in the chessboard of the Great Zhou.
Emperor Yonglong did not dare to act rashly, it was not for nothing that the Emperor Taishang had a fight, just look at this group of Wuxun disciples who came, you can know a thing or two, all over the city of Jingshi.
From the five military battalions, the Shenshu battalion and the Shenji battalion in the three major battalions of the Beijing camp, to the four guard battalions and the warrior battalion as the guards, there is also a standard-bearer guard force directly led by the royal family, and the five city soldiers and horses who are responsible for daily security, all of them are infiltrated by these families and their children.
The force of the Bannerman Guard evolved from the removal of the Upper 22 Guards of the Former Ming Dynasty, and the Bannerman Guard was held by Zhang Yi, the Prince of Zhongshun.
Although over the years, the imperial court has also consciously transferred military attaches to these departments with border military officers, and is also increasing efforts to reduce and replace them, but this is not something that can be done overnight after all, and it is also necessary to take into account the feelings of these martial artists, so for now, these martial families still occupy a dominant position in the armed forces in the capital city.
But Feng Ziying also saw a point, in fact, like the so-called four kings, eight princes and twelve princes, the decline of the four kings and eight princes is becoming more and more obvious, and the four kings needless to say that although there is a hereditary replacement of the county king, it is also glorious on the surface, but it is difficult to do much inside.
The Eight Princes are the most obvious, and now except for the Zhenguo Bull Family and the Liguo Gong Liu Family, which are considered to have a place in the Beijing Camp and the Siwei Battalion, like the other Six Princes, they are basically not in the climate, at most some children can enter, and now it seems that there is nothing outstanding about it.
However, the Twelve Marquis and those unpopular boys and some miscellaneous generals, such as the Feng family, occupy the backbone of the major armed forces in the Jingshi City, and even outstanding figures like Wang Ziteng and Feng Tang directly jumped out of the circle of the Jingshi and let them go.
Originally, in Feng Ziying's opinion, since Wang Ziteng jumped out of the circle of Jingshi City like his father, he should be born outside to avoid trouble, but he didn't expect this guy to suddenly jump out to play this one, and now it seems that this guy should still have some bigger ideas.
It can't be said that the other party's choice is wrong.
The Wang family and the Feng family are not the same, the Feng family was originally a marginal or individualized role in the Wuxun group, and it had already left the circle of Jingshi to work hard outside decades ago, although there is also the mark of Wuxun, but as long as you resolutely do not participate, you should still be able to avoid this catastrophe.
But the Wang family is different.
Wang Ziteng served as the envoy of the Jingying Festival, and the time was not short, a considerable number of subordinates were still the only ones who looked at him, and the children of the Wang family were still inextricably linked with these people, and it was not so easy to get rid of it all at once.
What's more, I'm afraid that Wang Ziteng himself is not willing to go out of the game like this, wealth and wealth are in danger, and he seems to have seen some clues, and it is inevitable that he will have some thoughts.
Since Wang Ziteng showed his "strength" so generously, Feng Ziying naturally would not be "polite".
As the only one in the entire martial arts group, Dad is released to serve as the chief military officer, and he is in the prime of life, plus he has embarked on the road of civil officials in the imperial examination, it can be said that the prosperity of the Feng family is just around the corner, and naturally there are people who are willing to come to make friends with the stove, even if the Feng family is no longer a cold stove.
But after all, Dad is still outside, and he is still just an unelected official, and he is still only in a stage of gaining momentum, and for many people, it is profitable to invest in stoves now.
When all the guests dispersed, Feng Ziying returned to her mother's room, only to see her mother and aunts counting the congratulatory gifts sent by these guests and registering them one by one.
These relationships must be remembered, and in the future, there will be a third aunt and six mothers-in-law who are sick and have a birthday, and they will have to move around to return their affection.
Of course, this time Feng Ziying's congratulatory banquet was a little special, and Wang Ziteng helped build momentum in it, so the situation must be slightly different.
Seeing Feng Ziying coming in, Duan's face was a little sad, "Brother Keng, it seems that something is not right in this situation today,......
"Oh? How is it wrong? Feng Ziying's heart moved.
"Although some people give gifts a little heavily, they are also within the range of affordability, after all, these people are always moving, but some people, well, even some people didn't come, and they didn't have any dealings before, but they gave very heavy gifts, so my mother and your aunts are a little uncertain."
Xiao Duan also interjected: "These things shouldn't be something you should worry about, but my sister and we both feel that I'm afraid we still have to let you make a decision." ”
Sitting down, Xiao Duan had already handed over the two rosters, "This one is the guest who came, this one is the guest who didn't come, well, in the end, there was no invited guest but a courtesy gift." ”
Feng Ziying looked at the guests who came first.
First of all, it was a gift from Mu Tan, the king of Dongping County, a statue of Wenchang Xingjun in red sandalwood, old objects, and two hundred taels of gold, which was a slightly heavier gift, Feng Ziying couldn't help frowning.
Two hundred taels of gold are equivalent to two thousand four hundred taels of silver according to the current exchange rate of about one week to twelve, and the value of five or six thousand taels is added up to five or six thousand taels of gold.
"Mother, aunt, this king of Dongping County, our family does not have much friendship, why do you give such a heavy gift? Have we ever been to their house on errands? "This first one is so grand, it makes Feng Ziying have a not very good feeling, there was some mental preparation, but even the king of Dongping County is so heavy, this is unreasonable, the king of Dongping and the Feng family have nothing to do with it.
Soon, a maid sent an old roster over, and Aunt Xie began to look for it, and then found: "In the thirty-fourth year of Yuanxi, the mother of the king of Dongping County died, and the house sent a golden Buddha, plus two thousand taels of silver. ”
The death of the county king's mother-in-law is a major event, even more important than his own move, after all, he is only the son of the head of the family, and maybe he will have a spring when his children go to school, and he will marry a wife, and even when he gives birth to a son-in-law, these series of matters must be taken into account.
With the relationship between the Feng family and the king of Dongping County, his mother died, and giving three thousand taels of silver is already quite respectful, if Feng Ziying understands, he is only afraid that a gift of one thousand taels of silver is appropriate.
That is to say, if according to the common sense of management, if the king of Dongping County wants to return the gift, even if he inherits the love of Wang Ziteng, it should not exceed two thousand taels of gifts, but this not only exceeds, but also greatly exceeds, and this alone makes the people of the Feng family restless.
Seeing the eyes of her mother and aunts, Feng Ziying was also unsure in her heart, it seemed that she had to write to her father to find out what kind of relationship the king of Dongping County had with his family, if there was no special relationship, then there was a problem.
