"Huaiying!" A middle-aged man yelled in a low voice, "Be careful to be rude!"
The woman looked angrily and turned her head proudly.
Feng Zhiwei slowly put down the teacup.
She didn't show anger or expression, but she just kept silent, and seven or eight people around her felt that the air in the tent was tense and cold. They were sitting in a spacious room, but suddenly they felt crowded, and they all moved uneasily. body.
Feng Zhiwei remained silent the whole time, everyone gradually showed embarrassment, and looked at her in a little helplessness.
After a while Feng Zhiwei said calmly: "The tea is cold."
What does it mean? The Yan family, who were oppressed by Feng Zhiwei's silence and were restless, looked at each other when they heard this irrelevant sentence, but Yan Huaishi had already got up from the shadow of the tent door, and said: "There are not enough waiters here, I'll go make tea. "
"Wait." Feng Zhi smiled and said, "You are a big man, what are you doing in a hurry to make tea and water? You Yan family in the South China Sea have strict rules. Who should wait on this meeting full of men? Taigong naturally understands, so you don't need to worry about it."
Grandpa Yan was stunned, his face turned pale, and he immediately said: "Yes, this old man is being rude, Huai Ying, why don't you get some tea for the imperial envoy and all the uncles and brothers!"
"I won't go!" The woman raised her head, her pink face turned pale with anger, and her fingers were trembling, "I am the young lady of the Yan family, and I have nothing to do with serving anyone!"
"Huaiying, don't be willful!" The middle-aged man scolded again. Judging by his appearance, he should be Yan Huaiying's father, and now he looked annoyed and regretful.
Taigong Yan also frowned, thinking that he heard that the imperial envoy was young and brought a few proud juniors to visit him, maybe the young people could speak better, and they also had the same meaning. Then there is no calmness, how will it end now
The imperial envoy looks young, but he is not just like his own children. He has also heard about the scene on the big boat at the pier in the daytime. How can he be an ordinary person who can force Zhou Bawang to board the boat and set fire to it? It's not that Nanhai has never been an imperial envoy, and some were forced to leave on the spot by Bawang Zhou!
He was shy, trying to smooth things over, but Feng Zhiwei didn't look at them, picked up the teacup again, slowly blew the foam from the noodles, took a sip, and sneered.
This laughter made everyone unable to sit still, not to mention that the adult served tea to see off the guests, so they had to get up and say goodbye.
The woman was the first to get up angrily, and kicked Maza aside, Feng Zhiwei flipped the lid of the teacup, looked at it lightly, with a trace of contempt in her eyes.
Yan Huaishi followed them out, Feng Zhiwei suddenly said, "You stay, Huaishi."
From the shadow of the curtain, she saw Grandpa Yan turned sideways, gave Yan Huaishi a warning look before leaving.
"What's going on?" Feng Zhiwei put the teacup aside and got straight to the point.
Yan Huaishi was silent, Feng Zhiwei thought about the expressions and tone of those people just now, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he said solemnly: "Don't think that the matter of the Ship Affairs Department can only be left to the head of your Yan family, Your Majesty once promised me to do it The power of exclusive decision, Nan Haiyan, Chen Huang, Li Shangguan's five great aristocratic families, any of them can!"
"Don't!" Yan Huaishi said anxiously, "They are only targeting me, and they dare not be disrespectful to you."
"Aiming at you for what? Why did you give in? What made them hostile to you?" Feng Zhiwei's eyes were like needles, and three questions came one after another.
When she met Yan Huaishi for the first time outside of Qingming Academy, she always thought that this Yan family's child was trying so hard to find a way out in Beijing, hoping to make a name for himself in order to increase his weight as the successor to the patriarch. Such a good thing, let alone the owner, can be snatched away for such a great contribution.
Yan Huaishi is not an idiot, there must be a reason for him to give in willingly.
Yan Huaishi still shook his head, as if there was something difficult to say, Feng Zhiwei looked at him, remained silent for a while, and said: "Tomorrow, you ask the Yan family to arrange a house for us, and His Highness and I will live there."
Yan Huaishi trembled, and raised his head. He knew that Zhiwei Feng was very cautious, and he would not casually tilt his attitude towards any party and cause conflicts before he had investigated the Yan family thoroughly and resolved the conflict between the family and the government and the people. Yes, now that I have said this, I am determined to help him.
"Brother Wei... my lord... I..." Yan Huaishi's lips twitched, trembling and unable to speak.
"I told you, don't call me a lord. When we met in Wei, our houses in the imperial capital are connected together. As long as we don't betray, we will always be brothers." Feng Zhi smiled, "Also, I like Qingming Academy You were the shrewd person who wanted to buy my clothes when we first met, not the stranger who backed down every step of the way."
"Be yourself." She stood up and walked out, "There is a bottom line in everything, no matter what is unspeakable, no matter what is the reason for being unfairly treated, there is no need to bear it when you reach the bottom line, you bear it, and I will not allow you to bear it. "
"The Chang's incident is imminent. If the South China Sea cannot be integrated quickly, it will definitely be controlled by the Chang's forces. The Ship Affairs Department is just a pretext. I must use the success of this incident to subdue the entire South China Sea. The South China Sea must be mine." Feng Zhiwei's slender figure was cast in the moonlight outside the tent, and his tone was gentle but resonant, "So, the Yan family must be yours."
I spent the night in the tent that night, and Yan Huaishi arranged to live in the "rest garden" of Yan's Bieye on the second day. Ning Yi had no objection to Feng Zhiwei's decision, and the Nanhai government had great objections, but objections were useless .
The conflict between the family and the common people in the South China Sea has been clearly understood by Feng Zhiwei. In the past, the South China Sea was a barren land. After the sea ban was opened, some people with insight acted quickly and made a fortune early. If there is development, there must be encroachment. Where there is expansion, there is plunder. In the process of scrambling for fertile sea areas and various resources, it is inevitable that innocent people will be implicated. When the previous chief envoy was in the South China Sea, he had a deep connection with the family and did some things that hurt the people. The worst thing is that the Shangguan family seized a good piece of offshore land to build the largest ship to enter and leave the port, and drove the people who originally lived there to a shallow beach. As a result, a big tide suddenly broke out overnight, and the sheds that the people had hastily built All of them were swept away, and a village was almost wiped out. In addition, most of the people in the South China Sea were employed by aristocratic families. Therefore, masters and servants had resentment.
