Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 207 Double Happiness Comes to the Door on the Festive Night

Hearing that there was someone coming from the palace, Feng Yibo already guessed what was going on.

Putting down the wine cup in his hand, he smiled and said to Baochai:

"Let's go, we husband and wife will receive the order together."

After speaking, he supported Baochai, who was still a little unclear, and got off the kang.

He looked up and down again, and straightened the skirt of Xipao.

Only then nodded in satisfaction and said, "Perfect."

Fortunately, the two of them didn't make it to the bridal chamber, otherwise it wouldn't be perfect.

Anyone who is interrupted to cast a spell will only feel uncomfortable.

As soon as the two came out, Feng Yibo first ordered people to go to the front hall to set up the incense table.

After thinking about it, he hurried back to the house.

He took a few money orders and put them directly in his sleeves.

Originally, he thought it was Xia Bingzhong who came.

Unexpectedly, when they got to the front, they found that the person who came was actually Xia Bingzhong's godson.

Xia Shouzhong, the palace supervisor in charge of Fengzao Palace.

Seeing him holding the imperial decree with a smile, Feng Yibo couldn't ask other questions first.

He hurriedly welcomed him to the incense table in the hall, and bowed together with Baochai to wait for the order.

Seeing that the two were ready, Xia Shouzhong walked to the middle.

Facing south and facing north, he unfolded the imperial decree with a smile, and read aloud:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:"

"Feng Yuan, the captain of Shangqingche, has outstanding talents and virtues. He has made new achievements for the country and the people..."

The imperial decree is still in the same format, first I praised Feng Yibo first.

Next, it was Baochai's turn:
"I heard that today I married my wife Xue, who behaves elegantly, with etiquette and education over the sage, graceful and pure, and virtuous with dignity..."

Hearing this, Baochai had already guessed what the intention was.

"I am entering the family of Feng's family now, inheriting the heir's wife, being Mu Tian'en, and granting me the title of Shuren, the same rank as Yu Xun..."

Sure enough, as Baochai thought, it was the imperial order that Yuanchun had promised.

Her heart was immediately filled with great joy, but she still didn't reveal half of it on the surface.

And although Feng Yibo knew that there would be an imperial order to seal him, this order still made him slightly startled.

Because the meaning of this patent is obviously not a special seal.

Instead, follow his title.

That is to say, if his rank is promoted again later, Baochai's imperial order will also be promoted accordingly.

And in the future, if he marries Daiyu again, he can still use his actual position to ask for a royal order.

In this way, it is equivalent to the first room inheriting his rank as a civil servant, and the second room inheriting his rank as a martial artist.

The two rooms have their own output, and there is no need to impose a special order.

Feng Yibo immediately sighed in his heart: Yuan Chun is very thoughtful!
As for why it was Yuan Chun, it was naturally because it was impossible for Emperor Jingshun to be so considerate of him.

Not to mention such details!

To be able to issue a special decree once, it is already a great grace of the emperor.

So you know without asking, this will must have been requested by Yuan Chun.

"Holy Grace, I am ashamed to accept Feng Yuan and his wife Xue!"

Feng Yibo quickly took Baochai to thank him.

The two took the seal with both hands, and put it on the incense table in the middle.

Seeing this, Xia Shouzhong turned around and winked.

Immediately, someone from the palace presented the imperial order of Ruihe Brocade to wear the crown.

Feng Yibo nodded slightly to Baochai, Baochai immediately understood.

Holding the crown in both hands, he gave a slight salute, and went back to the inner house to wait.

Here Feng Yibo took two steps forward, and quietly handed over the two money orders.

At the same time, they greeted each other: "Eunuch Lao Xia is coming, and he must stay for a glass of wedding wine!"

Originally, what he prepared was to benefit Xia Bingzhong.

So twice as much as normal.

Although it was Xia Shouzhong who came here now, on the day of great joy, he didn't care about it at all.

Handed over all the bills of exchange.

Xia Shouzhong had long heard that Feng Yibo was generous, and he knew it was 200 taels of money order as soon as he got started.

But he, who should have happily accepted it, gritted his teeth and pushed it back.

He squeezed out a smile and said:

"I haven't congratulated Feng Duwei on his great joy. I came here in a hurry today, so I can't make special preparations."

While talking, he took out a book contract from his arms.

You can tell it's a title deed just by looking at the color.

"This is a wish from our family, please Feng Duwei not to be disgusted with it."

This time, Feng Yibo was confused.

I don't know which song Xia Shouzhong sang.

The eunuch who has always loved money, not only did not accept money, but also gave him such a heavy gift.

Is this trying to plot something for him?

Xia Shouzhong saw that he didn't answer, so he put it on the table in the main hall and said:
"I'm ashamed to say that if it wasn't for Feng Duwei, even if I got back by chance this time, I'm afraid I would lose my job, and even my life would be in jeopardy."

After hearing this, Feng Yibo immediately smiled and said:
"Eunuch Xia is too polite. I am related to the Rong Mansion where my empress was born, and I am a courtier of the Holy Majesty."

"The safety of my empress is in danger to me. It is not only a private matter, but also a national matter. Feng Yuan should do his best."

He was talking nonsense, but his heart was full of doubts.

Even if Yuan Chun was saved, Xia Shouzhong should thank him.

But verbal thanks are enough.

I really want to thank you, also in the name of Yuan Chun.

It was never his turn to thank Xia Shouzhong so much.

Feng Yibo couldn't figure it out, he just said casually:
"Speaking of which, when I came back from Iron Net Mountain, I was still worried about the safety of Eunuch Xia."

At this time, a servant of Feng's family brought fragrant tea, and the two sat down as guest and host.

"It's just that the empress said that you were separated, and I was busy with the marriage after I came back."

Feng Yibo explained a few words casually, and said:

"See you today. I can rest assured knowing that Eunuch Xia is fine."

After speaking, Feng Yibo picked up the title deed.

Seeing this, Xia Shouzhong let go, thinking that he was going to accept it.

Just about to say something, Feng Yibo whispered again:
"At the beginning, I couldn't go back to the capital with Eunuch Xia, and I felt very guilty."

Having said that, he also handed over the land deed and the money order in his sleeve, saying:

"Forget about the congratulatory gift, and just let Eunuch Xia down with some kindness."

Xia Shouzhong's hand on the table withdrew like an electric shock.

"That can't be done!"

After speaking, he looked around.

With a wink, the following palace servants retreated.

Seeing that he seemed to have something to hide, Feng Yibo immediately frowned and dismissed the servants.

For a while, there were only two people left in the hall.

Xia Shouzhong licked his lips before saying:
"Our family really wants to thank Feng Duwei, you can accept this land deed first!"

Seeing that Feng Yibo didn't answer, he said again:

"As the internal supervisor of Fengzao Palace, I was supposed to protect the empress, but I got separated from the empress that day."

Xia Shouzhong was a little anxious, and even pleaded:

"Lieutenant Feng has been kind to our family for rebuilding, so you really don't need to be polite with our family, just accept this land deed."

The more he said this, the more Feng Yibo dared not accept it.

"I believe Eunuch Xia must not have separated on purpose. Only those who witnessed the situation that day will understand."

Xia Shouzhong didn't say the real reason, Feng Yibo could only talk about it, and said:

"Why should eunuch Xia worry about this matter? It's not uncommon for the soldiers to get separated."

"It was also a coincidence that I happened to meet my empress and help each other, which is what I deserve."

Seeing that Feng Yibo refused to take over, Xia Shouzhong said again:
"After we came back, our family was scolded by our godfather."

As he said that, he seemed a little frustrated, slapped his thigh, and said:

"Our family also knows his dereliction of duty, so no matter what, he has to thank Captain Feng to be at ease."

After all, Feng Yibo still didn't get to the point, naturally he still refused:
"Eunuch Xia, please be polite, we are all from our own family, so there is no need to say such nonsense."

Seeing that he refused to eat oil and salt, Xia Shouzhong hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:
"Since Feng Duwei said that he is one of his own, our family will not go around when we have some words."

"Oh?"

Feng Yibo knew that the good show was about to begin, but he had nothing to say after he answered.

Just wait for Xia Shouzhong himself to tell the real reason.

At this moment, Xia Shouzhong gritted his teeth, knelt down suddenly, and begged:

"Also ask Captain Feng to save me!"

Feng Yibo didn't expect this to happen, and was startled.

"Where are these words?"

He quickly helped Xia Shouzhong up, frowned and said:

"Eunuch Xia, you are the eunuch in charge of the palace, how can I, a foreign minister, bear it?"

It seemed that this kneeling made Xia Shouzhong go all out.

He directly confessed the whole thing, saying:
"I'm here to beg Feng Duwei, I hope he can say that he escorted my mother back with me, only in this way can I save my life!"

Hearing what he said, Feng Yibo suddenly remembered something!
At that time, he came out of Yuanchun's tent, and there were two horses outside.

When he went back to get the pastry and water bag, only his horse was left when he came back.

Isn't the other horse Xia Shouzhong's?
After that, he was away from the emperor, and he never saw Xia Shouzhong.

That is to say, it is not a wandering at all.

It was Xia Shouzhong who at least escaped alone!

So, is he afraid that this matter will be leaked?
But with Xia Bingzhong around, he should be able to protect him well, right?
Seeing Feng Yibo frown, Xia Shouzhong hastily added:
"This is the idea my godfather gave me, but let me ask Captain Feng myself."

Xia Shouzhong thought that Feng Yibo frowned because he was unwilling to help him.

But I don't know, Feng Yibo frowned because he felt that this matter...

Could it be a trap?

"This……"

He hesitated in his mouth, but he couldn't help but move in his heart.

Because this is an opportunity!
A good opportunity to get rid of my affair with Yuan Chun!

but……

He didn't dare to agree easily, and needed to consider it carefully.

If this kind of thing has traces of cover-up, it will easily attract the attention of others.

But if it was Xia Bingzhong's idea, it would be a little more guaranteed.

At least, he will take care of it in the palace.

Thinking of this, Feng Yibo didn't respond for a long time, he hesitated and said:
"The lady over there..."

Knowing that he was moved, Xia Shouzhong immediately patted his chest and assured him:
"Don't worry, Captain Feng, our family has already made an agreement with her. As long as I try my best to help her in the future, she will be willing to help me."

"This……"

Feng Yibo pretended to stand up and pace hesitantly, looking worried.

In fact, he was quickly considering gains and losses in his heart.

He thought about it for a while, and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with agreeing.

The only ones who knew about this were him and Xia Shouzhong.

Only Yuan Chun and Xia Bingzhong were there.

As long as they don't talk about it, [-]% of the matter can be covered up.

It can reduce the possibility of him and Yuan Chun being discovered.

Even if it is revealed one day, there is a high probability that it will not be in front of the emperor.

Even if there is trouble, Feng Yibo can still choose to sell Xia Shouzhong directly.

Used to divert attention.

Even if he loses some "righteousness" in this way, he loses his "loyalty".

No matter how you look at it, he has nothing to lose.

After walking around for a while, he sighed heavily and said:
"Oh! That's all!"

Looking at Xia Shouzhong's expectant eyes, Feng Yibo felt that he was almost done.

At the moment, it seems that the boss said reluctantly:
"Since the empress is willing to help you, then I don't have to be a villain."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Shouzhong was overjoyed.

"The sages say that a gentleman is sincere, but the Buddha also says that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

Sincerity is the most precious thing for a gentleman, and the words come from "The Doctrine of the Mean".

In fact, it means sincerity, but it is not impossible to extend it to honesty.

Feng Yibo looked embarrassed, as if he was trying to persuade himself.

Finally, with a heavy sigh, he said:

"Today I will do what I can, and believe what the Buddha said!"

Hearing this response, Xia Shouzhong thanked him again and again:

"Thank you Feng Duwei for your great kindness. If there is any assignment from now on, I will definitely do my best!"

Pushing the land deed on the table again, said:

"This title belongs to a village on the outskirts of the city. Please accept Feng Duwei with a smile."

Feng Yibo naturally wouldn't accept it, he waved his hand and said:

"No, that's not why I saved you."

As he said that, he still showed dissatisfaction on his face, and directly lowered his face, saying:

"Since I agree, I won't go back on my word. You can keep this Zhuangzi for yourself."

It looked like he lost his share when he accepted the gift.

"This……"

Seeing this, Xia Shouzhong hesitated.

After all, in his opinion, if you don't accept benefits, you don't really accept them.

"If you don't feel sorry, be more loyal to Eunuch Xia and Empress!"

Feng Yibo saw what he was thinking, and didn't want to cause any complications, so he added:

"I only agreed to it for the sake of the two of them."

Xia Shouzhong felt relieved when he heard the words.

Although Feng Yibo confiscated his benefits, he obviously used the face of his godfather and concubine Xiande.

This also makes sense.

Immediately, Xia Shouzhong saluted again and again:
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Captain Feng, for your success!"

Then the two made some thorough confessions on how to respond.

It turned out that Xia Bingzhong had already arranged everything.

It was nothing more than fear that the eunuchs from other forces in the palace would embarrass Xia Shouzhong and would come to Feng Yibo for questioning.

As long as someone asks, Feng Yibo will say that the three of them came back together.

Hearing that Xia Bingzhong had made the arrangements, Feng Yibo was immediately relieved.

By the time Xia Shouzhong was sent off, the sky was completely dark.

Feng Yibo sorted out his thoughts, and pondered for a while.

Feeling that nothing was missed, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Come to the West Court.

There are still people waiting for him here!

When he returned to his new house, he was ready to continue the process just now.

Upon entering the room, Baochai seemed to have thought of something, and immediately lowered her head shyly.

That touch of shyness was so beautiful that Feng Yibo secretly swallowed his saliva.

Forgot what to do.

It wasn't until he felt a little parched that he thought it was time to drink Hebei wine.

He stretched out his hand to help Baochai, and wanted her to come to the table with her.

Baochai obviously forgot about the process, and dodged reflexively.

Seeing her face flushed, Feng Yibo couldn't help but chuckle.

He pointed to the wine on the table.

Hejiu wine is the embryonic form of the present hand-to-cup wine, but Hejiu wine has more meaning.

To be precise, it is two scoops cut into one gourd, which means two become one.

There is still a thin line in the middle of the wine cellar, which means that you will never leave.

The taste of paw melon is bitter, which means sharing weal and woe.

Baochai and Feng Yibo came to the table together.

The two of them each took a ladle and drank it all in one gulp.

Fortunately, this gourd is not big, and two scoops together are no more than a pot of wine.

"It's pretty good."

Feng Yibo smacked his lips, but looked at Baochai vaguely.

"Father."

Baochai gave a somewhat jerky cry.

Seeing that Feng Yibo seemed to feel hot after drinking, and was about to take off his wedding robe, he said:

"I'll wait for you to change clothes."

Feng Yibo chuckled lightly, and replied:

"Your Madam!"

This lady does not mean daughter-in-law.

But Baochai, who has an imperial seal, has the qualifications to be called a lady.

According to the official chapter, only the imperial orders of the first and second ranks are the wives.

But under normal circumstances, those above the fifth rank can be called this way.

"Master, don't make fun of me."

Baochai resisted her shame and helped him take off his robe.

Feng Yibo took advantage of the situation to put his hands on her slender waist, and continued to tease:
"What's that called? Baochai, or grandma."

Baochai felt the heat from her palm, and her body froze immediately.

Seeing Feng Yibo looking straight at her, his face turned red.

The four eyes met, and under the light of the red candles in the room, it seemed a little charming.

Baochai avoided her gaze first, then turned around to hang up her outer robe.

As soon as she turned around, Feng Yibo stuck to him.

She wrapped her arms around her slender waist from behind, feeling the curve of Baochai's waist.

I didn't expect Baochai to be young, but her girth is really big.

No wonder she looked a little fat on weekdays, but it turned out to be a loose dress that covered up all the roundness and beauty.

As the saying goes: hips bigger than shoulders are better than gods.

No wonder people say that the butt is good for giving birth, who can stand it?

Feng Yibo picked her up by the waist, and gently placed her on the red quilt.

With his movements, Baochai's figure gradually revealed its true face.

Unexpectedly, except for the figure.

Feng Yibo also gained something else!

At this moment, two words of description suddenly appeared in my mind.

The skin is plump and moist as snow.

Snow White is not so white!
And being stared at by Feng Yibo, it was immediately covered with a layer of pink.

Originally tender as goose fat, now as gorgeous as peach blossoms!
"Father..."

I don't know if it's nervousness or something else.

Baochai's voice trembled a little.

Feng Yibo suddenly regained his composure, and asked softly:

"Cold?"

After finishing speaking, she seemed afraid that Baochai would be cold.

The whole person turned into a quilt and covered it.

"Well……"
