Xin Zi Scroll, Section 217, First Move

 Feng Ziying didn't spend the night here after all.

In the room, he comforted Lin Hongyu, who had just broken the jade melons and was not good at walking, and then took away the sweat towel that he kept as a souvenir. Naturally, he wanted to leave a souvenir.

A jade fan pendant was his beloved object that he had always tied to the folding fan that he never left. However, this incident suddenly came out and was not prepared, so he could only take it down and leave it to Lin Hongyu.

However, this pendant has exquisite texture and is well-made. It is an authentic Lantian jade piece in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not necessary to be used to hang it under the neck.

Feng Ziying also wanted to stay, but now she is in the world and can’t help but be in charge. She has two wives at home, one single and one pair, and she will attract some suspicion if she doesn’t go back any day.

Especially since he was too busy some time ago, Feng Ziying was almost busy until the hour of Hai before going back. She felt a little guilty and was not home today and night, so I was afraid that she would have to explain even more.

The carriage was running on the street. It was already past Hai, which was equivalent to the ten o'clock in the future. The heat had already dissipated. The wind came in through the gaps in the curtains and passed through Feng Ziying's cheeks and neck, which was very comfortable.

Of course, the comfort is not just that, Feng Ziying is also thinking about things.

After being in love with Lin Hongyu, I have to talk about some gossip.

Lin Hongyu is a smart woman, so naturally she would not talk about Wang Xifeng and Ping'er's affairs, so the topic can only be about Rongguo Mansion.

Wang Xifeng actually used Lin Hongyu as a piece of ears and ears. Even if she moved it over, she basically asked Lin Hongyu to go back to Rongguo Mansion every few days.

Inquiry into information, contact relationships, and maintain popularity. In short, the relationship between the Jia family still needs to be maintained. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a centipede worm dies without being stiff. The Jia family still has some resources available. Wang Xifeng has been immersed in the Jia family for so many years, so of course she is unwilling to give up completely.

The situation in Rongguo Mansion is getting worse and worse.

Because the monthly money is reduced by half, the people are frivolous. Although there has not been a sloppy situation, the slackness in doing things has become more and more obvious.

A few days ago, Tanchun caught a few lazy, drinking, and sleeping mothers and servants, scolding and punishing them. However, although these mothers and servants dared not blew their wings in front of them, they cursed a lot of sour words after they came down, and the key is that this sign is spreading.

Everyone has a family. Although they don’t have to worry about food and clothing, monthly money is their biggest hope every month. It’s half of it, and even half of it is delayed. So the next step is to owe it or not to pay monthly money?

Moreover, the practice of buying new clothes, shoes and hats every time the season changes since the beginning of this year seems to have been forgotten. No one mentioned it in March and April, and no one cares about summer clothes from July, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Of course, someone would ask his wife and Grandma Zhu privately, and they all said that it was handed over to Tanchun, but no one dared to ask Tanchun.

Although people with discerning eyes know that it is probably not that Tanchun won’t do it, but that there is no money in the mansion to do it, there are always some dull people who think that Tanchun is deducting everyone, so they have even greater resentment towards Tanchun and have begun to complain to their wives and ancestors through various channels.

Under such circumstances, undercurrents in Rongguo Mansion were surging and complaining, and some people were already planning to find another way out.

Some people want to go to the countryside village, some people want to go back to the south of Jinling. Of course, they are still just verbally, but if this is still the case at the end of the year, it may really turn into real actions.

Feng Ziying also knew that Tanchun was a backbone, and Mrs. Wang handed over this matter to Li Wan and Tanchun. In fact, Li Wan just named her good husband, and Tanchun came to be a villain.

It was already difficult for Wang Xifeng to step down before he stepped down, but Wang Xifeng was smart and cunning, coaxing Jia Mu and Yuanyang well, and constantly putting out the old items in Jia Mu's room to pawn or sell them, so she could still struggle to maintain it during that period. When she got out of the way, her true colors would be revealed.

The old items in Jia Mu's house are not endless, and they always have to keep a few of them in the box to put them in the storefront. As soon as Tanchun took office, he was thrown cold water, which made him feel cold. The monthly expenses are so large that he can only find ways to save money from all aspects, which will definitely make many people uncomfortable. There are naturally a lot of gossips, and Tanchun's reputation has become unpleasant in Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Hongyu mentioned that various entanglements made the third girl feel tired. In addition, she was told by her wife two days ago and fell ill.

This made Feng Ziying feel a little moved.

Tanchun is a strong man. Mrs. Wang put her on the fire, but she was afraid that she would not know. But she couldn't help but want to do things well, but there was a "bad good man" Li Wan next to her. With the current situation of Rongguo Mansion, how could she do it well?

With such exhaustion, I can't get Mrs. Wang's good face. After all, I'm still a girl, and I can't stand it?

With all kinds of feelings, Feng Ziying returned home and thought about asking Jin Chuan'er to get her a set of clothes for her to change her clothes. After all, she had been lingering in bed with Lin Hongyu for an hour or two, and the smell of balm must be hidden. She must wipe and wash first to cover it up.

But I never thought that as soon as I arrived at my study yard, I saw my father coming and greeted him quickly.

"Father."

"I'm just back now? I'm still so busy? I'll wait for you for an hour." Feng Tang's eyes were bright and he looked up and down at his son, which made Feng Ziying feel a little nervous.

"Uh, there were some social engagements outside, so I was delayed. My father didn't rest so late, but what's the matter?"

My father has been traveling between the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue and the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Occasionally, he has to go to Wenyuan Pavilion. The emperor has only met once, and probably has to meet him before he officially leaves Beijing to give a formal report.

Feng Ziying was a little surprised that he was here to guard himself today.

"Let's go, go to your study and say."

Feng Tang waved his hand, and Feng Ziying could only follow him into the house.

After entering the study, Feng Ziying noticed that his father must have had a few drinks and his face turned slightly red, but he could tell that he was in good spirits. He walked around with his hands on his back before he could sit down.

"Father, what's the matter?"

"Well, I had a few drinks with Zishu (Chai Ke) tonight." Feng Tang nodded.

"Oh, Lord Chai?" Feng Ziying was surprised. Chai Ke is now the Left Minister of Personnel. He was promoted from the Left Minister of the Ministry of War to the Left Minister of Personnel. It is not bad in theory. However, Gao Panlong, the Minister of Personnel, is not a good role. Chai Ke has a bad relationship with him, and the two are constantly in conflict.

"Well, Ningxia and his party have a bit of friendship with their father and son Shu. However, Xiuling (Yang He) did not expect to go to Huguang to take up a military position. Haha,..." Feng Tang shook his head, and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Why, my father doesn't like Lord Yang?" Feng Ziying couldn't help asking.

"It is certainly okay to be the governor of Yunyang, but the court was a bit hasty when he was in charge of Jingxiang Town." Feng Tang said calmly: "It's not that civil officials are not good at leading the army, but Xiuling had never been in contact with military affairs before, and he had no qualifications in the army. If he wanted to stand alone, and he was fighting against the rebels with real swords and guns, how could it be that simple? Zhisheng (Sun Chengzong) had been in the Ministry of War for so many years, and he was calm in his work. Even so, when he went to Sichuan, he didn't say that he would start a big fight and start a big fight. He still honestly practiced the military and practiced martial arts and polished the guards. Xiuling wanted to make contributions in one blow. Just this mentality would cause trouble,..."

"My son feels that the war in the southwest is not good, and it is probably not just these reasons,..." Feng Ziying frowned when she saw her father mentioning the war in the southwest.

"Oh, then what do you think is the reason? Isn't able to command in a unified manner?" Feng Tang nodded. It is natural that the war in the southwest is unfavorable. If the court really wants this situation to defeat Yang Yinglong's rebels, it only means that Yang Yinglong is as stupid as a pig.

"There is this reason, but the more important thing is the Denglai Army!" Feng Ziying's tone was even heavier.

"If the Denglai Army is not in charge, if the court commands the unified command, it can still solve the local soldiers in Bozhou!" Feng Tang said bluntly: "If the Jingxiang Army was handed over to Sun Chengzong for command, Yang Yinglong's head would have been hanging outside the Meridian Gate long ago!" But if Wang Ziteng specifically dragged his legs at critical moments and even attacked, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?" Feng Ziying retorted: "The court arranged for Lord Sun to go, maybe it was to restrain Wang Ziteng..."

Feng Tang sighed, "The situation is like this, but it is still the case within the court. Whether it is, your father, I will set off to the northwest as soon as possible, and I am too lazy to care about these messy matters."

"When will my father leave?" Feng Ziying asked.

"It depends on how effective your sales conference is. I have told Huang Ruliang and Zhang Jingqiu that if I don't have 800,000 taels of silver, I will not be able to handle the matter in the northwest." Feng Tang smiled.

"Father is a big talk. Even if I can sell it for a good price, the 800,000 taels of silver will be a little over." Feng Ziying was shocked. Dad is amazing.

"Just offer, I know the court is in trouble, but I also have difficulties." Feng Tang looked serious, "Liu Dongyang, Tu Wenxiu and the others are indeed a little restless, Liu Baichuan is still stable..."

Feng Ziying opened her eyes wide, "Father, have you contacted there?"

"Can you not contact me?" Feng Tang sighed, "Before I set out from Liaodong, I have already arranged for someone to go to the northwest. By the way, you can also say hello to me on He Zhisheng's side. I will use him at that time."

"Well, my son understand." Feng Ziying knew that my father would not have a simple transition this time to the northwest, but would have to go to deep water to seize military power. "Has my father noticed something?"

The rumors were that his father had a transition in the position of governor of the three sides, and then Yang He returned to office. However, after he talked to his father about the issues of Jiangnan and Prince Yizhong and the White Lotus Sect, his father clearly realized the complexity of the problem and the severity of the situation. He had to make some targeted arrangements, otherwise it would be impossible for even generals like He Zhisheng to catch them.
