Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 238 Unfathomable Feng Yibo

Shui Rong said it was not good at the time, but in the end he didn't refuse.

He was at Feng Ziying's mansion, and when he heard that Feng Yibo had arrived, he hid behind the screen.

He hurriedly straightened his appearance until he heard the sound of the two coming in and talking.

While speaking aloud, he turned out from behind the screen in a personable manner.

Feng Yibo looked intently at this moment.

I saw a person with a face like beautiful jade and eyes like a star.

Look at the clothes again.

I saw him wearing a silver-winged hat with hairpin tassels on his head, a dragon python robe with five claws sitting in Jiangya sea water, and a jasper red belt around his waist.

The whole body is meticulous, with a warm smile on his face.

Coupled with the warm and jade-like voice, it makes people feel that it is not ordinary.

Don't look at temperament, only combine clothing color and age.

Feng Yibo could also guess his identity.

However, he was not in a hurry to greet him, but looked at Feng Ziying first, and said with a smile:
"Brother Ziying, won't you introduce me?"

Even if he guessed the other party's identity, it would be rude to rush forward.

At this time, Feng Ziying stepped forward to greet him first, and called him "Prince", and then introduced:

"Yibo, you must have guessed it, this is the only king of Beijing County among the four founding kings of our Great Wei Dynasty who still has a prince."

He invited Feng Yibo here, but he didn't say that the King of Beijing County was also there.

But even if he didn't say anything, Feng Yibo must have known what this trip was about.

"Ah! It turns out that the county driver is face to face!"

Feng Ziying guessed that Feng Yibo had guessed the identity of the King of Beijing, but Feng Yibo acted as if he hadn't guessed it.

He let out a soft cry before rushing forward to salute and said:
"Feng Yuan has eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai, and hopes that the prince will forgive him."

The acting skills are a bit exaggerated, but many literati are like this.

Water-soluble comparison is also commonplace, and it is not surprising.

He naturally revealed a gentle and gentle smile, and said in his mouth:

"Captain Feng doesn't need to see outsiders. Xiao Wang and Jia's family are family friends. You are related to Jia's family. After all, we are all our own people."

Feng Yibo didn't smile at all when he heard the words.

Instead, he shook his head slightly, and said with a serious look:

"At present, the county driver dare not marry."

Seeing this, Shui Rong still didn't care.

He took a few steps forward, smiled and continued to exchange greetings:
"I wanted to see you several times, but I was hindered by the confusion. Today, I had a whim and asked Ziying to invite me. I didn't expect it to happen for a while. If Feng Duwei was abrupt, I hope you don't blame Ziying. , it’s all Xiao Wang’s idea.”

Shui Rong has always been kind to others, and everyone thinks he is a virtuous corporal.

Therefore, a group of people were really attracted, willing to serve him.

It's a pity that Feng Yibo didn't get positive feedback for his usual attitude of being invincible.

"Jun Jia's words are wrong!"

Feng Yibo waved his hands when he heard the words, and said with a straight face:
"Feng Yuan is just a servant. If the commander of the county sends you something, let him know. Yuan will definitely come here in a hurry after hearing the news."

Feng Ziying was a little puzzled, not knowing why Feng Yibo was putting on airs like this.

But he didn't expose it either, he just sat aside and watched the two play.

Water-soluble status is precious, and many people talk like this on weekdays.

Comparisons are commonplace.

He habitually showed the appearance of being well-trained in dealing with people.

He chuckled first, then said humbly:
"Ha! Xiao Wang just invited the county to attack. Feng Duwei doesn't have to be like this. Let's sit down and talk first, okay?"

After finishing speaking, he naturally sat on the master's seat, and stretched out his hand again:

"Sit down, both of you."

Obviously, he has the attitude of a corporal of courtesy and virtuousness.

But he also has superior status.

The two Fengs sat on the left and right, and Feng Ziying made people serve the banquet.

After the servants poured the wine, they were all dismissed.

King Beijing raised his wine glass first, and said with a smile:
"Feng Duwei, although we met for the first time today, Xiao Wang feels that we have been friends for a long time, and look forward to seeing each other more in the future."

Naturally, Feng Yibo would not lose his courtesy, seeing this he quickly got up.

Holding the wine glass, he bowed slightly and said:
"The county driver first please!"

"Please!"

King Beijing Jing responded and drank it all in one gulp.

Feng Yibo immediately took a drink.

"You two are honored to come to my house today, I should toast first!"

Feng Ziying also had a drink with her just now, but as the host, she naturally had to keep silent.

After he said a word, he lifted a glass and drank it himself.

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Brother Ziying for allowing me to have the honor to meet Junjia!"

After Feng Yibo finished speaking, he also lifted his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Then a few people warmed up.

But I drank several pots of wine, but I didn't get to the point.

Because whenever Shui Rong wants to get close to Feng Yibo, he will find a way to change the topic.

Or correct each other's identities one by one.

In this way, he made the usual routines so watery that he couldn't get to the main topic for a long time.

Even though the water-soluble heart property is good, it can't help but feel a little irritable.

The three drank another cup, and Shui Rong said directly:

"Feng Duwei is about the same age as Xiao Wang, but he is already the chief official in charge of overseas affairs."

He didn't want to continue going around in circles with Feng Yibo, he wanted to bring up the matter of Donghai County.

But at the beginning, Feng Yibo immediately corrected him:
"My lord praises it, but Feng Yuan is just a servant, and the chief official is the Minister of Rites, who is my benefactor."

Seeing this, Shui Rong didn't bother, and continued to follow his words:
"That being said, when it comes to overseas affairs, even Li Shangshu certainly doesn't have the understanding of Feng Duwei."

Feng Yibo smiled when he heard this, waved his hands and said:
"It can be regarded as a specialization in the art industry, but I have only been in charge of it for two years, and I am relatively more familiar with it."

Seeing him admitting, Shui Rong's eyes lit up, and said:

"We are all old relatives, Xiao Wang won't play around..."

Before continuing, Feng Yibo corrected again:

"My lord's words are wrong. You and the Jia family are family friends, and I and the Jia family are old relatives, but we are not old relatives."

After talking about it, it came back again.

Feng Yibo didn't let him have any relationship at all.

Either it is to emphasize the difference in identity, or it is to emphasize that there are no relatives.

Negotiations are like this, whoever is in a hurry will lose the initiative.

Anyway, Feng Yibo is not in a hurry.

Liuqiu does not have the fleet of the founding fathers, so there must be some losses.

But it's also limited.

But the founder of the country was targeted by Liuqiu, and the longer it took, the greater the loss.

It's only been a few months, and it's almost too much for them.

"Yibo!"

Feng Ziying hadn't participated much, and now she couldn't listen anymore.

He let out a low cry, frowned and said:
"Let the prince finish his sentence first."

Shui Rong cast a grateful look, then looked at Feng Yibo.

"Oh oh oh."

Hearing this, Feng Yibo pretended to be stunned, and hurriedly said:

"Please speak, my lord! Please speak, my lord!"

Shui Rong breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out his thoughts, and then started from the beginning:

"Director Feng Duwei is responsible for overseas affairs, and he has also contributed to persuading Donghai County to surrender and offer soil. He must be acquainted with the king of Donghai County."

Feng Yibo didn't interrupt this time, he just looked at him with a smile.

It seems to be saying to him: You continue!
Seeing this, Shui Rong didn't make any circles at the moment, and said directly:
"Recently, Donghai County seems to have misunderstood us and other nobles. Some things are not going well. I wonder if Feng Duwei can help mediate a thing or two?"

He made his own request, but did not mention the matter of joining the cabinet.

I just wanted Feng Yibo to put forward the conditions himself.

To prevent him from being bitten to death by Feng Yibo if he asked about joining the cabinet.

At that time, there will not be much room for maneuver.

Feng Yibo saw that he was looking at him with a warm face and stopped talking, so he asked:
"Is the prince finished?"

"Ah."

Shui Rong nodded slightly, waiting for Feng Yibo's answer.

"Then I will answer what you just said one by one."

Feng Yibo smiled, stretched out a finger, and said:
"First of all, my director's overseas affairs are true."

"But after a period of rest, I took over again. Many things have changed, and I still need to reorganize."

As soon as these words came out, Shui Rong's face changed slightly.

But he soon returned to his peaceful appearance.

Obviously, Feng Yibo was telling them inside and outside the words:
I am taking revenge on you!
Are you not capable?

Didn't you impeach me and go down?

I just came back, and I'm still out of breath!
Just drag it on!
"Feng Du..."

Just as Shui Rong wanted to speak, Feng Yibo stretched out his second finger and said:
"Secondly, it is also true that I persuaded the King of Donghai County to return and offer soil, but at that time I was just ignorant of the righteousness, and the King of Donghai County was moved by my feelings of serving the country with all my fists."

Having said that, he frowned and said with a smile:

"If you talk about personal friendship, there are actually not many."

These words made Shui Rong feel even more blocked.

Because Feng Yibo's words were to distance himself from the relationship.

The king of Donghai County was summoned by righteousness.

I, Feng Yibo, and Donghai County are both on official business and have no personal relationship.

Whether you have conflicts or not has nothing to do with me!

"Yibo, don't..."

Feng Ziying couldn't bear to listen and wanted to speak.

Feng Yibo ignored him, and withdrew his hand, and said with a smile:
"If the prince thinks that I can help, it's not impossible."

Just now, he had a face of vengeance, but now he changed the subject.

Spit again.

Shui Rong and Feng Ziying looked at each other, obviously confused by this twisted operation.

Fearing that Feng Yibo would start going around in circles again, Shui Rong hurriedly said:

"Feng Duwei, why don't we open the skylight and speak honestly, what do you want?"

Hearing this, Feng Yibo smiled lightly and said:

"I don't want anything."

When Shui Rong heard the words, he was confused, and hurriedly said:

"Before you said you wanted to recommend Li Shangshu to the cabinet..."

Halfway through, the water-soluble reaction came.

But the words have been spoken, but it is too late to take them back.

Obviously, his rhythm has been disrupted.

Started to be led by the nose by Feng Yibo!

Seeing this, Feng Yibo immediately patted the table, dissatisfied:

"My lord, this is wronging me to death. I never said that."

"You listen to me first."

Seeing that he was going to take back his words again, Shui Rong didn't care about other things, so he simply made the mistake and said directly:

"If we recommend Li Shangshu, it won't do him any good. On the contrary, it may arouse the suspicion of the Holy One."

This is equivalent to showing your cards.

Feng Yibo knew right away that they had really considered this matter.

It's just that I have too many worries and don't want to agree.

"Oh! Ziying! I'll just say it! Why did the prince see me today for no reason?"

Feng Yibo looked at Feng Ziying angrily, and sighed:

"Oh it's you!"

Feng Ziying was stunned.

I don't know how it came to him again.

He frowned and asked, "What am I?"

"You are confused! When did I ask you to recommend my mentor?"

Feng Yibo looked sad, as if he had been wronged, and asked:

"I just said it casually at the time, why do you take it seriously?"

"I……"

Feng Ziying wanted to argue, but Feng Yibo didn't give him a chance.

"My benefactor is an official to the Ministry of Rites, so it is a matter of course to join the cabinet."

Feng Yibo looked heartbroken, and said:

"But the four elders are all healthy and healthy, so it won't be a problem if they serve as masters for another ten or eight years?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shui Rong, who was a little inexplicable.

Suddenly said: "You mean..."

He hesitated, and said with some uncertainty:

"Instead of recommending Li Shangshu, let an old man step down instead?"

Seeing that he understood, Feng Yibo immediately smiled.

Then he couldn't hide his smile and waved his hands, saying:
"I didn't mean that!"

The corners of Feng Yibo's mouth almost reached his ears, and he was still muttering haha.

If Shui Rong and Feng Ziying still don't understand, they are really fools.

They looked at each other and frowned, all silent.

There are four people in the cabinet, none of them are easy to mess with!

Shui Rong was a little discouraged, feeling that today he might return without success.

He pondered for a moment, wondering if:
"We still need to discuss this, but overseas..."

In any case, his idea was to let Donghai County stop first.

The rest will be discussed slowly.

"In fact, I don't know much about overseas affairs, but I do know the character of the Duke of Donghai."

Feng Yibo waved his hand and said pointedly:
"Presumably, Donghai County just mishandled it for a while, and it won't take long for it to be corrected?"

Shui Rong and Feng Ziying looked at each other, and then the atmosphere became warm again.

Needless to say, it is necessary to push the cup and change the cup.

The next day, all the nobles gathered together.

At the same time, it brought a piece of unexpected news for Shui Rong.

"There is news from Donghai County that the restrictions on us have been lifted!"

cancelled?
Doubts arose in Shui Rong's heart, but they were quickly submerged in the noise of the nobles.

"It's really different for the prince to go out!"

"It seems that Donghai County is just a warning, and dare not take it seriously!"

"But many sea merchants attached to my house have taken refuge in those bumpkins!"

"My family too, suffered a heavy loss!"

Everyone flattered, flattered, complained.

At this time, another question was raised:
"I just don't know what the prince promised him?"

Before Shui Rong could answer, someone said in horror:
"Wait! The prince just met him yesterday..."

They didn't know that the Liuqiu fleet had figured out the course, and their speed had increased a lot.

According to their speed, they will know after a little calculation.

It takes nearly a month to go back and forth between the two cities!

Everyone showed doubts, and some people hesitated:
"So...it's not Feng Yuan?"

As soon as Feng Yuan left, someone came to report on his back.

Apparently...

"This Feng Yuan left room for it, he was sure that we would look for him as soon as we came back..."

Shui Rong sighed softly.

In other words, Feng Yuan was at least when they left Duzhong.

Just started the layout?
If the Prince of Beijing doesn't come forward, can this matter be resolved?

wrong!

If he can control Donghai County like an arm, he can retract it freely.

Did it get their necks stuck?

All the founding nobles were suddenly speechless and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Clearly thought of the consequences.

Shui Rong was also stunned for a while, and murmured:
"This person is really unfathomable!"
