Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 178 Miaoyu enters the door!

Visiting the garden of Jia's mansion, Feng Yibo couldn't help admiring it.

It may be a little exaggerated to say that it looks like a fairyland, but the pleasant scenery is not enough to describe it.

Fortunately, while admiring, it also made him look forward to his own garden.

Both gardens were created by Shan Ziye.

However, the provincial villas are located in Rongning and Ningxia prefectures, which were added and modified on the basis of the original ones.

Shan Ziye has little room to play.

But Feng's garden started from scratch.

Shan Ziye participated in the whole process.

But also because of this, Feng Yibo's mansion and Jia's mansion started construction.

A lot of people were added, and the raw materials were sufficient.

However, the progress is still a bit slower than that of the Jia Mansion.

Fortunately, neither Baochai nor Daiyu reached Ji, so they couldn't get in for a while.

In addition, it was about to enter winter, and no more flowers and trees could be planted.

Therefore, Feng Yibo also asked people to give priority to repairing the front house.

The garden at the back will have to wait for spring to be repaired for a while.

Looking bare now, the nature is much different from the scenery here.

When the flowers and trees are transplanted in spring, it should be no worse than here.

Although the garden will continue next spring, the house is actually ready for people to live in.

Feng Yibo is also planning to move there.

Try to celebrate the new year in the new house.

At that time, the garden in the back will be repaired, and the house in front will be lived in.

Two do not delay.

Just like Jia's house, isn't that what it is?

But before moving there, Feng Yibo had one more thing to do.

That is, welcome Miaoyu to enter the door.

After all, this mansion is for his wedding.

If you just moved there, use it to welcome Miaoyu first.

It's really easy to overthink.

Therefore, the best way is to greet Miaoyu before moving.

Otherwise, we will have to wait until Baochai enters the door.

Aunt Lin's health has recovered, and the matter of Miaoyu's entry has already been put on the agenda.

Before that, Feng Yibo had laid the groundwork many times.

For example, in the future, Aunt Lin will provide for the elderly, and a nunnery is specially planned for this purpose.

Miaoyu had already been mentally prepared.

This kind of thing, after all, is the order of parents in this era.

No matter how withdrawn and eccentric she is, it is already the limit to refuse once on the pretext of filial piety.

As long as Lin Ruhai speaks again, she can only obediently obey the arrangement.

So Weng and his son-in-law discussed it and chose an auspicious day.

One day in late autumn, Miaoyu took off her monk robe and put on her wedding dress.

Feng Yibo went to Lin's residence in person, and paid respects to Lin Ruhai and Aunt Lin,
Lin Ruhai was somewhat moved, sighed softly, and said:
"Yibo, don't wait for Miaoyu to go."

Aunt Lin twirled the rosary, closed her eyes, and said tremblingly:
"Amitabha, go, go!"

Feng Yibo saluted solemnly, and said:
"Uncle, don't worry, aunt, don't worry, I will treat Miaoyu well."

It's just a concubine, so you don't need to change your mouth.

If you want to call your father-in-law, you have to wait for Daiyu to come through.

In fact, as a concubine, Feng Yibo doesn't need to marry.

But after all, she is a concubine, so she should be carried there with Daiyu in a sedan chair.

Now get in early, because the etiquette system can't use a big sedan chair, go through the main entrance.

Feng Yibo came to pick him up in person to show that he was different from ordinary concubines.

It is not only for the face of the Lin family, but also for Miaoyu's peace of mind.

Of course, Miaoyu was still very apprehensive at this time, and she was also very reluctant in her heart.

But I also know that the orders of my parents cannot be violated, and sooner or later this will happen.

Fortunately, her father found a good husband for her, so there is no need to disobey.

"Father, Master, I... I'm leaving."

Although Miaoyu was very upset, she still bid farewell to the two of them reluctantly.

With the help of the maid, Miaoyu got into a red sedan chair.

Before he knew it, he was carried into Feng's mansion through the corner gate.

On Feng's side, although they didn't make any big arrangements, they also set up several tables of banquets.

Chicken, duck and fish are all available.

Everyone in the whole house celebrated together.

Feng Yibo didn't invite too many people, he only invited a few friends and a few people who walked around a lot.

It can be regarded as a witness for the concubine.

The friends are naturally Liu Zheng and Yang Mingxin.

There are Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Feng Ziying in the business.

Relatives include Xue Pan and Xue Bian.

The last one is Wang Jiren from Tai Hospital.

He was flattered to be invited.

I don't know why Feng Yibo has always looked at him favorably, and there are gifts exchanged during the New Year's Eve.

The point is that you rarely ask him to do anything.

It made Wang Jiren suspect that Feng Yibo had some unspeakable secrets.

Feng Yibo naturally had nothing to hide, he just coveted his craftsmanship.

There's no telling when this thing will come in handy.

Naturally, Feng Yibo cannot "use Buddha now, burn incense now".

Originally, there was a Jiayu Village, which was considered to be walking around.

But Feng Yibo couldn't decide whether to invite him or not.

After all, from Jia Zheng's side, Jia Yucun is his peer.

But from Daiyu's point of view, Jia Yucun is his elder.

Either move makes sense.

Today's concubine, since it is the daughter of the Lin family.

Feng Yibo simply didn't invite Jia Yucun, so as not to be abrupt.

Speaking of which, these are the only people Feng Yibo can walk around.

After going to the Ministry of Rites, everyone in the Ministry knew about his relationship with Li Shouzhong.

It is convenient to work at ordinary times, but he is the person of the immediate superior, so naturally no one talks to him.

Of course, Feng Yibo would not be so stupid as to talk to his colleagues.

If it is a big marriage, you may invite some colleagues.

But taking a concubine is equivalent to a private party, so naturally it's not their turn.

When he comes back from Lin's house, the auspicious time will be almost here.

After we exchanged a few words in the main courtyard, a small red sedan chair came in through the corner gate.

Then stop at the main courtyard.

Under the eyes of everyone witnessing, Miaoyu covered her face with a fan and slowly stepped down from the small sedan chair.

The servant girl brought her in front of Feng Yibo, handed her the teacup,

Miaoyu put the round fan on the tray and straightened the hem of the skirt.

He took the teacup and bowed.

Raising his hands above his head, he offered a cup of tea to Feng Yibo, and said:
"Master, please have some tea."

Seeing this situation, Feng Yibo couldn't help but recall the scene when Miaoyu invited him and Daiyu to have tea when they first met.

It turned out that I was destined to eat this bowl of tea at that time.

Feng Yibo took the tea bowl and took a sip, then took out a red envelope and handed it over.

This is her box money.

After the tea ceremony was over, Feng Yibo announced with ease:
"The Feng family's descendants are weak. In order to pass on the incense of the ancestors, today I invite all relatives and friends to witness that the eldest daughter of the Lin family has been accepted into my Feng family as a good concubine."

"Congratulations!" "Congratulations Yibo!" "Congratulations, sir!"

Amid the congratulations of the crowd, Miaoyu was picked up by the maid and helped to go to the inner courtyard.

Although it is only a quick glance, it can be seen that Miaoyu has an outstanding temperament.

Xue Pan was even more numb from the sight.

Fortunately, he knew Feng Yibo's temper, so he didn't say anything excessive to spoil the fun.

He only dared to yell loudly when he turned his envy and jealousy into words of persuasion.

"Yi Bona is so beautiful, it's unreasonable not to make a big statement today!"

Only Jia Lian, Xue Biao and a few others understood this allusion, and they all looked at him dumbfounded.

Although the rest were surprised by Xue Pan's vulgarity, they were also secretly envious, and agreed to have a few more drinks with Feng Yibo.

In the front yard, there are many ways to persuade people to drink and persuade.

In the main house of the back house, Li Mengshi is smiling happily.

Speaking of which, she was responsible for it.

Miaoyu finally came in today, how could she be unhappy?
Beside her, Li Wan hugged Jia Lan.

Not only that, Li Wan also brought Daiyu from Jia's mansion.

Baochai and Baoqin also came to visit with Xue Pan and Xue Biao.

Facing the few people, Mrs. You and the second and third sisters were talking with them.

Although Baochai was not seeing Li Mengshi for the first time, it was the first time he came here, so he was unavoidably a little uneasy.

But she didn't miss anything.

Speech is moderate and etiquette is thoughtful.

It provoked Li Mengshi to praise him frequently.

Bao Qin is the youngest, but has always been loved by the older generation.

Li Mengshi is no exception.

These two girls from the Xue family were praised by Li Mengshi.

Daiyu looked at it with a smile on the side, without any sense of taste.

With her intelligence, she naturally knew that it was Li Mengshi who treated them as guests.

It is the way of hospitality.

And it's not the first time for her to come here, so she doesn't need to be so polite.

Her eyes were all on Li Mengshi and Baochai sisters.

On the side, Li Wan watched with a smile, seeing the performance of Daiyu and Baochai.

It is also more and more satisfied.

Presumably this younger brother will be able to live in harmony with each other in the future, and there will be no major disputes.

At least in her opinion, neither of them is like Mrs. Wang.

Of course, it's not that Mrs. Wang treats her badly.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang was very kind to their orphans and widows, and never missed anything.

It can be said that it is only slightly worse than Baoyu.

The only thing bad is emotional investment.

However, from the perspective of the Jia family, Mrs. Wang, the wife of the second wife, has stolen the power of the family.

For the Jia family, after all, it is not a good thing.

In the past, there was Wang Xifeng, a big wife, who could stand in front of her.

Now that Wang Xifeng is gone, she and Tanchun are the housekeepers.

Even if she couldn't manage it, Mrs. Wang would rather use Baochai as an outsider to help her than Mrs. Xing.

How much is a bit unreasonable.

Compared with the relationship between these two ladies, the relationship between Baochai and Daiyu is much more harmonious.

Because of Feng Yibo's relationship, Li Wan pays special attention to these two sisters-in-law and "siblings".

Naturally, she knew that they were not superficial sisters, and that their relationships were all sincere.

Therefore, I did not praise these two with Li Mengshi.

However, Li Wan was particularly displeased with today's protagonist, Miao Yu.

When they were in Jia's mansion, the two had crossed paths.

She treats Miaoyu one way in front of her elders, but she treats her peers the same way in private, and she doesn't like it very much.

Compared to Li Wan's distaste, the You Shi sisters on the opposite side are even more unspeakable.

Although the two sisters knew it, it was inevitable sooner or later.

In their identities, they are not qualified to be jealous.

Speaking of which, the You sisters have been married for a year.

Compared with the money promised at the beginning, what Feng Yibo actually gave has been multiplied several times.

The money in Niang San's hands is probably more than ten thousand taels.

Even if Niang San leaves Feng's mansion now, it will be enough to buy a house and land, and have enough food and clothing for a lifetime.

Of course, they wouldn't do that.

In life, Niang San is very satisfied.

The only pity is that the two sisters have never had a body.

Now that another competitor came, the pressure was doubled.

It is inevitable that I will worry about the loss of status in my heart.

Especially the elder sister, the second sister You, who has an extremely simple mind.

First of all, I still think that the two sisters are still young, and the two mistresses are also young.

As long as the two sisters are in front of the two mistresses, they will work harder.

Maybe there will be a result?

But now, it was originally served once every other day.

Now it has to be served every two days.

She will inevitably panic.

Of course, it is not uncommon for the two sisters to serve consecutively, or for the three of them to work together.

But isn't that for the chance of multiple heirs?

Yesterday she even muttered to Third Sister:

"I wonder if this Miaoyu will be together in the future..."

"Nonsence!"

The third sister refused very firmly at that time.

Don't look at her usual charming appearance in front of Feng Yibo.

It's really on the bed, but I can't let go of Second Sister You.

If Second Sister You wasn't her biological sister, she would never accept it.

Compared with the offspring that Second Sister You worried about, Third Sister You was more worried about their sisters' belonging in the future.

To be precise, which room to go to.

Originally, they were already acquainted with Daiyu, and they planned to stay with Dafang.

But the second room is only under Baochai, and the eldest room has Miaoyu as his concubine.

In private, Mrs. You persuaded them to go to the second bedroom.

But Second Sister You is unwilling to give up her relationship with Daiyu and start anew with Baochai.

So today, the two sisters, apart from having mixed feelings to welcome Miaoyu, a new sister.

There is also a task of observing Baochai.

Miaoyu was brought to the inner courtyard from the front, and was greeted by maids and mothers-in-law.

As soon as Miaoyu entered the room, she saluted Li Mengshi and said:
"Meet the old lady!"

"Okay, okay! Come here!"

Miaoyu greeted Li Wan and You Laoniang again, and then stood aside to serve.

Don't look at her as a newcomer today, but as a concubine, if there is no mistress to speak, she can only stand and wait.

Especially in front of the elders, there is no place for her.

Naturally, Li Mengshi would not embarrass her, so she said:
"Today is your day of great joy, sit down and talk!"

Miaoyu has never lacked courtesy in front of her elders.

Now that I have become a concubine, I am more cautious about these things.

Hearing Li Mengshi's words, Miaoyu quickly bowed and said:
"With elders here, Miaoyu has no place to sit, she should serve the old lady."

"Yibo doesn't have so many rules. I haven't let the second and third sisters wait on me a few times on weekdays."

Seeing Miaoyu's thorough manners, Li Mengshi nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and said:

"What's more, today's banquet is also for you, so we can't let you serve us?"

As he spoke, he pointed to his side and said:
"Sit down quickly! You are very happy today, we are all borrowing your light."

The etiquette has been exhausted, Miaoyu no longer sticks to it, and immediately said:

"Thank you, old lady."

After speaking, he sat there, serving Li Mengshi from time to time.

The girls chatted and laughed for a while, but didn't drink much.

The banquet in the backyard soon ended.

Miaoyu was anxious,
Under the envious and encouraging eyes of Daiyu and Baochai,

And in the complicated eyes of the You sisters,

She was sent to a new house specially arranged for her by the servant girl.

The new house is in a wing room opposite the Youshi sisters.

Sitting for a long while, there was no one in sight.

Fortunately, Miaoyu has long been used to the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns, so the current situation is not a big deal.

She even recited the Qingxin mantra a few times to get rid of distracting thoughts.

Until it was dark outside, the servant girl came in and lit a red candle for her.

Not long after, Feng Yibo finally came in reeking of alcohol.

Miaoyu, who had calmed down a long time ago, suddenly became extremely nervous.

The spell of purifying the heart just now seems to have lost its effect.

The whole person was frozen on the kang, unable to move at all.
