125 double return doors

At this time, the silence in front of the gate of Yinglian Mansion is completely different from that in Suriti.

The big red characters posted on both sides of the gate were still bright red, and the front of the mansion was full of people headed by Feng Yinglian and Feng Shuzhi.

Aunt Wu and Feng Yinglian's backyard on weekdays, the concubines who didn't see anyone at all, and didn't know what each other's surnames were when they met Feng Jiwen in the mansion, were all there.

The servants behind Uncle Qing lined up according to their ranks, and when they saw Feng Jiwen and the new aunt and Shen getting off the carriage, they were busy saluting and greeting each other, all of them with a beaming look on their faces.

Feng Jiwen thought in surprise, shouldn't all the people in the entire mansion come out to welcome her back to Ning today?

Without thinking about it, it must have been my grandfather's idea.

She subconsciously looked at the old man.

Feng Yinglian is wearing a light brown silk robe today, covered with a blue embroidered tuanfu robe with a placket button, and the ** hat on his head is inlaid with a piece of white marble, and the braid comb hangs brightly behind his head, with a red face full of energy, which makes Feng Jiwen can't help but be happy when she sees it.

The elderly look forward to their children's good marriage, and the children look forward to the health of the elderly.

The healthy old man looked at his granddaughter and grandson-in-law walking together, and his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.

He Shen smiled slightly and staggered a step with Feng Jiwen, letting her walk in front.

This is the rule of the Manchus, and on the day of returning, the woman must take the lead in front, which is commonly known as "the first trip".

"It's windy outside, you just wait in the living room, why do you have to come out to pick us up in person?" Feng Jiwen smiled and sighed, both happy and helpless to Feng Yinglian: "You don't know when we came over, and you don't know how long you've been standing here?"

After 'educating' the old man, he looked at Feng Shuzhi on the side and blamed: "Shuzhi, you don't know how to stop your grandfather." ”

Feng Shuzhi wrinkled his nose and didn't say anything.

He wanted to stop it, but the question was whether he could stop it?

Before dawn, his grandfather sent someone to shout and prepare...... People are small-talking. I don't have a say at all.

"Tsk, what are you doing here scolding your brother? When you get married, you even get angry? Okay, okay, I didn't stand for long! No, I just came out and saw you coming. Feng Yinglian laughed and scolded his granddaughter. With doting eyes, he gently poked her head with his finger, and beckoned to his grandson-in-law.

He Shen came forward to pay his respects.

After some auspicious words, I didn't forget to say: "My son-in-law is late, and my father-in-law has been waiting for a long time." ”

"A family doesn't speak two words. Feng Yinglian shook his head with a smile, reached out and patted the shoulder of the young man in front of him. The more I look at this grandson-in-law, the more satisfied I feel.

Dignified, humble and courteous.

Very good, worthy of his keen eye.

Seeing this, Aunt Wu said with a smile on the side: "Grandma is right, it's windy outside, it's better to go in first and then talk." “

Because Aunt Wu followed Feng Jiwen to manage the accounts with the housekeeper some time ago and deal with the trivial matters in the house, she has seen a lot, and people's horizons have been relaxed, so she is no longer timid and silent before.

The attitude is still very humble.

Because I can see my identity clearly.

"Yes, yes, get in!" Feng Yinglian smiled and waved his hand. Said happily.

Feng Jiwen and He Shen followed the old man left and right, and the group went to the front hall.

The old man, Shu Zhi and He Shen stayed in the hall to eat tea and talk, while Feng Jiwen went back to Tang Courtyard and walked.

Although she was not there, but the courtyard was still very clean, when she went back, there were two rough subordinates with tongs to prune the flower branches in the yard that had just budded signs, seeing her coming, they were busy putting down their work, and came forward to salute respectfully.

There hasn't been much change before the marriage, but the title suddenly changed from a girl to an aunt.

Feng Jiwen just came to the hall. Before I could sit down, I heard that the second-class maid came to the pavilion and said that it was Aunt Wu who came.

Fang Cai and the group went to the front hall, and Aunt Wu retreated with several of Feng Yinglian's concubines.

Now I came to see her alone in the Tang Courtyard, but I didn't know what was going on.

Feng Jiwen sat down on a chair she used to sit in. Let Xiaoting invite Aunt Wu in.

"The concubine has seen my aunt and grandmother. Aunt Wu saluted, and Feng Jiwen smiled and raised her hand to signal her to sit.

Aunt Wu sat down a little crampedly, as before.

It seems that no matter how she changes, when facing Feng Jiwen, there is always an indescribable sense of awe.

"My aunt and grandmother are back in Ning today, which is a happy event. It stands to reason that concubines shouldn't come to disturb them. Aunt Wu embarrassedly clarified her intentions: "But there are a few accounts, and the concubine body is not right, and the housekeeper doesn't know much about the algorithm before my aunt and grandmother......"

It turned out that the inquiry came.

Feng Jiwen is now a foreigner, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't ask about the accounts of Yinglian Mansion anymore, but Aunt Wu still doesn't shy away from taking the initiative to ask, so she has nothing to twist, and she just asked Aunt Wu to tell her about the accounts that can't be calculated.

Aunt Wu took an account book from the hand of the personal maid, got up and handed it to Feng Jiwen in person.

Feng Jiwen asked Xiaoxian to take the abacus from the study.

After checking a few times to make sure that it was correct, he taught Aunt Wu several convenient algorithms that he learned from the concubine.

Aunt Wu suddenly realized.

"There can still be such an algorithm...... My previous method was too stupid, and I didn't do it a few times, but in the end, I didn't calculate the right account, and I was dizzy. It's still my aunt's method, which is simple and clear. ”

Feng Jiwen pushed the abacus in front of her and said, "Auntie, try to learn first." ”

Ji Wen spent all her time in the morning in the Tang Courtyard teaching Aunt Wu to do accounts.

Aunt Wu has no talent, but she is very willing to learn, her attention is enough, and she demonstrated it a few times before and after, and then Feng Jiwen nodded.

"Aunt and Grandma Lao are bothered. Aunt Wu closed the account book, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a lot of guilt: "On the day my aunt returned to Ning, she taught the concubine to settle accounts...... If the old lady knows about this, maybe how to blame the concubine for being ignorant. ”

"Aunt Wu is also thinking about the affairs of the house, how can my grandfather be blamed. Feng Jiwen took the teacup handed by Xiaoxian and said, "If my aunt doesn't understand anything in the future, just write it down and ask me." ”

Aunt Wu nodded happily when she heard this.

With Feng Jiwen's words, she was relieved.

The two sat and ate tea for a while, and Feng Jiwen left the Tang Courtyard with Aunt Wu.

On the way, Aunt Wu suddenly remembered something.

"Grandma, do you remember the maid named Diao Chan who served you closely?" Aunt Wu's tone was a little taboo and lowered.

Feng Jiwen hadn't heard this name for a long time, and after she mentioned it coldly, she suddenly remembered that she had said that Diao Chan had run away on the way to be assigned.

Xiaoxian also immediately straightened his face.

"Why did my aunt suddenly talk about her?" Feng Jiwen asked.

"The day before yesterday, someone came to the government's mansion and said that the person had been found. Aunt Wu paused. Fu Cai said again: "It's just that when I found it, I had already swallowed my breath, and it was identified by the nearby villagers that it was consistent with the portrait, and the age and appearance were all right." ”

That is, what does it mean to die in the process of escaping?

In the end, it was the person who was opposite day and night before, and now that he suddenly heard such news, Xiaoxian's face couldn't help but turn pale. Xuan even said: "It's okay like this, so you don't have to go wrong...... My wife can also feel at ease. ”

Those who have a wolf's heart and lungs will die.

Nothing to go to pitiful.

Feng Jiwen also only nodded.

Aunt Wu didn't want her to think too much about this matter, so she opened the topic and said to Feng Jiwen: "Recently, Mr. Ding praised Shu Zhi for making great progress in his studies, and said that his handwriting is better than that of his peers, and he has a bit of an aunt's demeanor. ”

Feng Jiwen smiled and said: "He's not stupid, it's just that he didn't like to learn before." My grandfather was busy with official business on weekdays, and my aunt had to supervise him more in the future. ”

As for style or something...... Uh, she could say. The so-called notebook she gave Shu Zhi before was actually copied when she was bored?

It's just that the copying is too similar, and beginners like Feng Shuzhi, who are not highly accomplished, have not seen anything wrong so far.

Aunt Wu nodded yes on the side.

He also said: "Mr. Ding teaches well, not only is he knowledgeable, but his character is also thoughtful enough, and Shu Zhi also likes him very much." It's a pity that Mr. Ding is going to participate in the Spring Festival in March this year, and he will start preparing for the scientific examination after the first month. ”

Ding Ziyu was originally recommended by Yuan Yu to teach Feng Shuzhi temporarily, and in February, he was going to invite another gentleman.

Feng Jiwen asked if Mr. Xin's candidate had been decided.

"The old lady asked Mr. Yuan Mei for a recommendation, but I haven't heard the letter yet. ”

Feng Jiwen choked. I couldn't help but laugh.

After coming and going, Mr. Yuan has really become a talent intermediary in Yinglian Mansion.

Just mentioning Chunyu's words, she still remembered one thing.

She vaguely remembered that it was recorded in the biography that He Shen was about to fall in this imperial examination.

Although He Shen is not as good as Ding Ziyu, he is a serious person. However, if the students who have not graduated from the official school of Xian'an Palace, if they want to pass the guò imperial examination, they do not need to participate in the cumbersome procedures such as the hospital examination and the township examination, and can directly participate in the spring examination.

It's just that...... How could such a talented and resourceful person fall above the imperial examination?

Is it a failure to play or the water in the examination room is too deep. Or was there something else going on?

Feng Jiwen thought about it with or without a match, and was a little hesitant to find an opportunity to remind He Shen Yiyi or two in this matter.

The two of them are now considered to be people in the same boat, and it is naturally good for him to be obedient to her.

But I am afraid that because of my own troubles, it will disrupt the road he should have.

In the end, Feng Jiwen decided not to talk too much.

Anyway, it is inevitable that he will have a future future, and it is not surprising that there are some small setbacks ahead, and he has to help him strangle in the cradle one by one - in the end, this person's brain is much better than hers.

This little difficulty is more than enough for him to deal with.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that after leaving Yinglian Mansion for lunch, He Shen actually took the initiative to mention this matter to her in the carriage.

"I had a long talk with my father-in-law today, and I decided not to participate in this year's Spring Festival. He talked about it in a tone that he was talking about family life with his daughter-in-law.

Feng Jiwen looked at him in astonishment.

"Don't take the test?"

"Hmm. He Shen nodded with a smile and explained to her: "First, the imperial court does not encourage the children of the Manchurians to enter the imperial examination, and secondly, there is a miasma in the imperial examination officialdom now, and it may not be very fair. My father-in-law also said that this is not a good way. ”

Feng Jiwen heard his words.

If you don't plan to enter the official examination through the guò imperial examination, you have to take another path.

"Father-in-law's meaning is to let me inherit the rank of my ancestor as a light car lieutenant first, and then enter the palace through the way of selecting the imperial guards. He Shen said: "In the end, my father-in-law has enough experience in officialdom, I have thought about it for a moment or two, and I think that it is indeed faster than participating in the imperial examination." ”

Faster?

Boy, the speed of your historical rise and change is already fast and perverted, okay?

It's even faster.

Unexpectedly, under this background of collapse, even the process of his entry into the palace has changed.

Feng Jiwen was silent for a moment, and didn't say anything in the end, only nodded and said, "It's good that you think clearly." ”

Although I don't know if he participates in the imperial examination, he will be inferior to the same as in history, but it should be advantageous and harmless to bypass this detour.

The little fairy on the side couldn't help but say out loud: "Choose a guard? Isn't it a pity that my aunt is full of talent?"

When her aunt was in the official school of Xian'an Palace, he was the first in the assessment every year.

In her eyes, it would be a pity if a talented person didn't get ahead in the imperial examination or something.

He Shen smiled when he heard this.

Whether it is the imperial examination or the selection of guards, for him, it is just a way to go up, not a way to show his talents.

What he wanted was never an ethereal name.

The road he wants to take will definitely not be to seek a half-official position, and to be a petty official who abides by his duty and works hard to complete this life.

Feng Jiwen caught a glimpse of the ambition and ambition hidden in the young man's eyes, and couldn't help but think that some people may be born to do great things, and those who are really capable will climb higher and higher sooner or later.

It's just that at this time, the young man who is full of ambition but has become old and introverted has thought that he will become a powerful and oppositional person in the future...... Big corrupt officials?

Or is it just trying to achieve your ambitions.

This person would hardly show his true feelings, and Feng Jiwen naturally couldn't think of an answer.

But it doesn't seem to have much to do with her.

She withdrew her gaze, stretched out her hand and lifted the corner of the carriage curtain, looking behind her at the Yinglian Mansion.

But I saw that in an alley not far from Yinglian Mansion, a person and a rider slowly walked out.

A young man in a white brocade robe led a blue-maned horse.

Feng Jiwen took a fixed look, but saw that it was an acquaintance. (To be continued.) )

PS: Isn't it a bit of a surprise early?

Also, the discussion about the spring-palace-diagram can be stopped!
