Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 218
All three of them were members of the old party who were expelled by the new party during the struggle between the old and new parties.

In the end, with a tacit understanding, through various relationships, they found Rongguo Jia's mansion.

Jia Zheng simply took the insurance together, and wrote a letter to his uncle Wang Ziteng.

Let him also help with the book.

Because Jia Yucun, recommended by Jia Zheng before, has become Wang Ziteng's great help.

Therefore, Wang Ziteng still had some trust in Jia Zheng's vision of people.

Naturally, it gave my brother-in-law a face.

At the same time, he also wanted to take all three of them under his command.

Let him help more in the DPRK.

The recommended memorials were soon in the hands of Emperor Jingshun, but they were all directly suppressed.

Emperor Jingshun conveniently released Jia Zhengwai to Yazhou, which was regarded as a blow to Wang Ziteng.

Also let Jia Zheng go sober.

At least don't add trouble to him and the cabinet.

Later, when Yuanchun became pregnant, Emperor Jingshun asked Jia Zheng to be called back.

It was a grace that allowed him to at least spend the New Year at home.

Unexpectedly, the news of Wang Ziteng's victory came back.

Emperor Jingshun thought of this again, and immediately called the cabinet to discuss.

In the end, Wang Ziteng recommended three people and replied one by one.

Mei Hanlin is the best arrangement, because his job is still there.

Now I just have to wait for the full term of the inspector censor, that is, three years.

That is to say, he will be able to return to Beijing after another year and continue to be his Hanlin bachelor.

The other two are in some trouble, so they can only go back to Beijing Hou Que first.

But no matter what, the three recommended by Jia Zheng have all heard back so far.

Only he himself was released to Yazhou.

Fortunately, Jia Zheng was very insensitive and didn't feel that this was exile at all.

On the contrary, he thought it was Emperor Jingshun's trust in him.

After all, the words that Emperor Jingshun praised him in the court hall were still ringing in his ears.

Now, although Jia Zheng is so tired that he is falling apart, he looks very happy.

He only felt that he recommended three more talents for the country, and the emperor would appoint him as a poor student.

That being the case, Jia Zheng is ready to train more talents for the country!

Originally, he had always been optimistic about Feng Yibo, but when he came back, he heard about him being impeached and leaving.

It took it for granted that Feng Yibo came here like those three people.

I asked him to recommend it.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Feng Yibo waved his hands again and again, saying:

"Thank you uncle for caring. It's just that my mentor has his own arrangements, so I don't need to trouble my uncle to recommend me."

Feng Yibo didn't want to take refuge in the founder of the country, nor did he want to take refuge in Wang Ziteng.

Immediately declined Jia Zheng's kindness.

"Arranged by in-laws? That's good."

Jia Zheng was a little disappointed when he heard this.

After all, Li Shouzhong is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he has been serving as a sacrificial wine for the Imperial College for nearly ten years.

Talk about prestige and cultivating talents.

It must be much stronger than myself.

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng nodded and said in doubt:

"Then what did Yibo ask for just now? You just say it's okay, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Feng Yibo felt Jia Zheng's sincerity, after all, not many dared to speak for him.

But I'm also afraid that he might misunderstand, after all, if it is really recommended, it will not be clear when the time comes.

At this moment, Feng Yibo didn't dare to keep it up, and directly smiled and said:
"Actually, it's not something else. It's just that I recently resigned because I was afraid that my wife would worry too much."

Jia Zheng was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Feng Yibo mentioned Baochai.

"I just want to pick up Sister Lin, and the sisters from the Jia family who have always been close to her, and go there together."

Although Baochai showed no concern, Feng Yibo knew that she had a delicate mind.

These days, he is being careful, obviously taking care of his mood.

Naturally, it is inevitable to worry secretly.

That's why Feng Yibo came here years ago.

Just want Baochai to relax.

"At that time, the sisters will come to my garden to enjoy it together, and let her relax her depression."

Although Jia Zheng thought it was just a woman in the back house, there was no need to do so.

But he would never refuse Feng Yibo's request.

Immediately nodded, said:

"Let them go out for a walk, just talk to the old lady and their mother later."

Feng Yibo responded with a smile:

"I'll talk to my uncle first, and I'll go to the backyard later to ask the old lady to let me go."

"That's what happened."

Jia Zheng lost interest at this moment, waved his hand and said:

"Go ahead, I've said hello to the old lady, and someone will send them there tomorrow."

"Thank you, Uncle, for making it happen."

Feng Yibo bowed his hands in thanks.

While the two of them were talking, the three of Baoyu had already returned to the backyard.

As soon as he entered Jia Mu's room, the old lady smiled and asked:

"How? Is your master punished?"

Several servant girls helped the three of them take off their overalls, and Baoyu slipped into Shi Taijun's arms like a monkey, and said:
"Master didn't comment on it himself, he asked Brother Feng to say it."

Mrs. Shi doted on him, caressing his back, and asked:
"How did he say it?"

Baoyu smiled and said proudly:
"Brother Feng praised me for being knowledgeable and ups and downs. He praised me very much. Lan'er is also very good."

At this time, Jia Huan was standing beside Aunt Zhao.

Hearing that Baoyu only mentioned Jialan, he didn't mention him.

While faintly disappointed, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Baoyu didn't publicly say that he didn't perform well.

Baoyu has always regarded all men as dirty things, dispensable.

It's just that the relationship between father, uncle and brother, because it is a sage's legacy, dare not violate it.

Therefore, between brothers, it is only as far as possible.

But he doesn't think he is also a man, and he should be an example for his children.

So Jia Huan was never very afraid of him.

It's only because Jia's mother loves him that he has to give him three points.

Now that Baoyu lost the closeness with his sisters, he got closer to Jia Huan.

But Jia Huan was just pretending to be ingratiating.

He envied Baoyu more than being close to him, and he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

I feel that I must be stronger than this silver pewter gun head.

It is also for this reason that since walking with Baoyu, I have worked harder to study.

I didn't expect to be too nervous today, but I lost face.

Seeing that Baoyu didn't mention it, he felt a little relieved.

But he was jealous that Baoyu was honored and favored, but no one asked him.

When Jia Mu heard that Baoyu was praised, she immediately smiled, nodded and said:
"Feng Yuan is a talented person after all. If he said hello, he was really good. It's strange that the old master didn't scold you."

Baoyu only plays with Jia Huan recently, and feels bored.

So I begged Shi Taijun to bring Shi Xiangyun over so that we could play together at the mansion.

At this time, Xiangyun was beside Shi Taijun, and suddenly thought of something, he asked curiously:

"Huh? Brother Ai is still called Brother Feng, why should he be called Brother Xue?"

As she spoke, she also looked at Baochai, and smiled playfully at Baochai.

When Jia Lan heard this, she asked her mother beside her in doubt:

"Does Lan'er want to be called Uncle too?"

Li Wan patted his head and said softly:

"Lan'er doesn't need it, but Aunt Xue can be called Auntie instead."

She said it casually, but Madam Wang at the side was a little dissatisfied and scolded:
"Nonsense! Zhu'er and Baochai are cousins, so Lan'er should judge from this side."

Obviously, Mrs. Wang felt that Li Wan was turning his elbows a little.

Especially without taking her face into consideration.

She and Mother Xue are sisters, so Baochai and Jiazhu are cousins.

And Li Wan and Feng Yibo are just seniors and brothers.

Upon hearing this, Li Wan immediately understood his mistake, and quickly explained:
"My daughter-in-law knows her mistake, she was just joking."

The mother-in-law rarely scolded her, which made Li Wan a little bit aggrieved for a while.

But she accidentally said what was in her heart, and there was something wrong.

You can only admit your mistake immediately.

Shi Xiangyun next to him felt that he was causing trouble, and shrank his head in fright.

The other Jia girls were also silent.

This shows the power and influence of Mrs. Wang on weekdays.

"Okay, okay, if it's really from the eldest daughter-in-law's side, why don't Lan'er be called uncle?"

Mrs. Shi was in a good mood, and she was a little unhappy when she heard the words.

At this time, among the people in the room, only she dared to say a few words about Mrs. Wang.

"Just because the eldest daughter-in-law asked Lan'er to call her uncle, you should know that she is talking from your side."

This is not nonsense.

At the very beginning, Li Wan was cautious in Jia's residence.

Naturally think more.

Now she deals with the miscellaneous affairs in the house every day, and she feels a little restless in her heart.

Just lost the care of the past.

Mrs. Wang also felt reasonable when she heard the words, she immediately restrained herself, nodded slightly and said:
"What my mother said is that the eldest daughter-in-law said it casually, and I shouldn't be serious."

Even if she admits her mistake, the atmosphere in the room will inevitably become dull for a while.

"Lan'er is closer to me in terms of blood, but from his maternal grandfather, he is closer to our grandfather."

After all, this matter has something to do with her, Baochai hastily uttered a word to smooth things over, and continued:
"One relative, one close, it's not easy to talk about it, but it's only from the men, it's appropriate to call them uncles."

What he said was unreasonable, and it was just trying to excuse Li Wan.

After all, one is blood and the other is inheritance.

According to the order of heaven and earth, relatives and teachers, the blood relationship is also greater.

But after all, she is a guest, so no one will save her face.

"The relationship between their husband and wife and her sister-in-law Zhu is very close. Why don't they all have the same relationship?"

Xue's mother saw it, and quickly helped round the field.

First echoed, then added with a smile:
"It's fine to call them whatever they want, the relationship is all there."

Mrs. Shi also gave Mother Xue face very much, and agreed with a smile:
"What my aunt said is right."

As soon as these words came out, the matter was temporarily over.

The atmosphere in the room finally eased slightly.

At this moment, the servant girl outside said loudly:
"Uncle Feng is here!"

Following the voice, the curtain outside was raised.

Feng Yibo went into the outer room.

"I've seen the old lady, I've seen my wife, I've seen my eldest wife, and all the sisters are well."

Before anyone entered the back room, Feng Yibo started asking questions.

Many juniors hurriedly got up and returned the salute:

"Brother Xue is well!"

"Meet my uncle!"

With the episode just now, the girls of the Jia family changed their tune and called their brother-in-law.

Only Jalan still called his uncle.

Obviously, in his heart, his mother's words prevailed.

Seeing Feng Yibo approaching, Baochai held back her shame and bowed slightly.

Feng Yibo smiled and nodded towards his wife.

"Take a look quickly."

Feng Yibo just praised his precious grandson, Mrs. Shi found him very pleasing to the eye.

After the two parties finished their salutes, they smiled and asked the servant girl to bring the stool, and joked:

"The new son-in-law is here, please treat him well, don't let people think that we girls are impolite."

After Feng Yibo thanked him, he sat down.

The big-hearted Shi Xiangyun forgot the atmosphere just now, and said without any hindrance:
"I just said that I should be called brother Feng or brother-in-law, so I decided to call him brother-in-law, and brother-in-law Xue came here."

Feng Yibo didn't know about the episode just now, he smiled and replied:

"You and your wife are real relatives, so we should talk about it from your sister Bao."

As he spoke, he thought of Jia Lan's title just now, and added:

"Except for Lan'er, he is my mentor's grandson, as close as me and your sister Bao."

With Feng Yibo's thoughtfulness, he would naturally not embarrass Jia Lan and Li Wan.

No such small detail was missed.

"If you're called Uncle, you'll have a birth share with me, and if you're called Uncle, you'll have a birth share with your sister Bao."

After going around in a circle, Feng Yibo finally said:
"So from the perspective of Brother Zhu and I, it is most appropriate to call him uncle."

Everyone was dumbfounded at this moment, and looked at Baochai one after another.

His face flushed red from seeing her.

Everyone in the room was amazed at the tacit understanding between their husband and wife, and Tanchun even blurted out:
"Could it be that sister Bao and brother-in-law have discussed this matter long ago?"

Feng Yibo was taken aback when he heard the words, and also looked at Baochai.

Then the two said almost in unison:

"Naturally."

Now everyone was even more surprised, and they looked at each other for a moment.

Then they laughed together again.

Shi Xiangyun burst into tears from laughing.

"Hahahaha!"

While patting the edge of the Kang, she pointed to the two of them and said:
"Other people's newlyweds are like glue, but you two are even stronger, you have a good understanding!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha!"

For a while, only Baoyu was unhappy.

His feelings for Feng Yibo are the same as Jia Huan's for him.

With both envy and jealousy.

As soon as Feng Yibo came, everyone's eyes focused on him.

The sisters talked and laughed happily with him, which made Baoyu envious.

And the most outstanding sisters around her are Sister Bao and Daiyu.

They are divided into two households, both of whom will marry Feng Yibo.

This makes Baoyu inevitably a little jealous.

But whether it is jealousy or envy, Baoyu has to obey.

Because Feng Yibo is better than him in every aspect except his family background.

But even though he had no family background, he earned the honor by himself.

Talking about friendship with his elders, he will not fall behind.

Then Baoyu was silent beside him, but the room was filled with chatter and laughter.

After joking for a while, Feng Yibo finally revealed his purpose.

He didn't say that it was because of his resignation, but he only said that he wanted Baochai to get together with the sisters he had made friends with.

Take a look at Feng's garden.

Mrs. Shi naturally agreed, and asked Feng Yibo to bring Miss Shi along with her.

"Brother Feng..."

Baoyu was silent for a while, and then couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

After shouting, he glanced at Mrs. Wang again, and quickly changed his words:

"Cousin-in-law, I want to go too!"

How could such excitement be without him.

In fact, if he didn't say it, Mrs. Shi wanted to say it for him.

The sisters all went there, so naturally they had to be escorted by brothers.

"Okay!"

Feng Yibo responded with a smile, and Baoyu was instantly happy.

It's a pity, but Feng Yibo added another sentence:

"Brother Huan is going too, and I'll call Shang Lian's second brother and uncle, so we brothers can have a drink together."

Baoyu didn't want to be with a man, so she said awkwardly:
"I...I also want to see the garden in your mansion."
