Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 240 Giving gifts from thousands of miles away, borrowing flowers to share ink
Founder Xungui discussed how to deal with it.

Feng Yibo also ushered in an upstart.

"Brother Wanli, please come inside!"

He knew that Qiu Peng came here for the affairs of Donghai County.

After a few pleasantries, people are welcomed into the hall.

As soon as the two sides sat down, Qiu Peng gave the long follower a wink.

The long follower immediately put the black lacquered wooden box in his hand on the table.

"I got a few pieces of tribute ink from a friend. I thought it would be a waste for us vulgar people to use it, so I sent it to you."

Feng Yibo was a little puzzled, why did he deliver it face to face with only a box of tribute ink.

But doubts are doubts, he still smiled and cupped his hands, saying:

"Brother Wanli has a heart!"

The tribute ink of the Great Wei Dynasty was the same as that of previous dynasties.

It is also Hui ink.

Hui ink falls like lacquer on paper, smooth but not glued.

There is a saying in Shilin that "one tael of Hui ink and one tael of gold".

Now Huizhou has made ink for thousands of years, and it has already formed a large scale locally.

So although it is still precious, it is still affordable for the upper classes.

With Feng Yibo's wealth and the Xue family's business all over the place.

What I use on weekdays is not only Hui ink, but also high-quality pine smoke.

Seeing his expression, Qiu Peng knew that Feng Yibo didn't take it seriously.

Immediately smiled and opened the lid directly.

Feng Yibo glanced at it with some doubts, and was immediately stunned.

Without him, there is not much ink in it, only six pairs.

But the color of the ink is unusual!
It is not black, its color is like silver.

"The color is like silver. Once you study it, it will be the same as ordinary ink, but you don't know the method of making it."

This is a kind of Hui ink recorded in "The Four Books of Study - Mo Pu".

With Feng Yibo's extensive knowledge and knowledge, he can naturally see something good at a glance.

This is the white ink developed in the Song Dynasty!
Feng Yibo thought it was just a legend, at least it was lost.

Unexpectedly, it was delivered to him today.

It's 12 yuan for a free gift!

"This is Huizhou's painstaking effort for many years, and it has just been recovered. Most of it has been sent to the palace, and only a small amount of it has been circulated outside."

As soon as Qiu Peng saw the surprise on Feng Yibo's face, he knew that he recognized the origin of this ink.

Seeing him carefully looking at the box.

Immediately picked up a piece, handed it to Feng Yibo, then smiled and said:
"General Guangwei's mansion and my family have some walks. When Huizhou sent tribute ink to the palace, they gave my father a box in advance."

Huizhou Jiedushi was none other than Guangwei General Bai Jiajun.

That is, Bai Jiajin's brother.

Huizhou, famous for its ink making, is naturally considered the territory of the new nobles.

"You also know that our father and son are both from the military. We were afraid that it would be a fun thing to be abrupt, and we wanted to come to your place to sit and sit, so I sent it to you."

Feng Yibo took it carefully, and smelled an elegant fragrance as soon as he took it.

Looking at the two sides of the white ink again, I saw a few thin gold characters written on one side:
Jingshun Dingyou year system.

On the other side is a delicate and beautiful peony, with the name of the flower written on it.

"Thinking about it, if you show off your talents, you will definitely be able to make the best use of them."

Feng Yibo flipped over the rest of the white ink lightly, and found that each piece had a different pattern on it.

Twelve kinds of flowers, obviously a set!
"It's a good thing!"

Feng Yibo sighed softly, and said again:

"Brother Wanli's gift is too precious, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it!"

If it's an ordinary thing, just accept it.

But this thing is recorded in ancient books, almost extinct.

Great collection value.

If there is an arty person, it is really hard to find a thousand gold.

Hearing what Feng Yibo said, Qiu Peng immediately smiled and said:
"It's just a little thought, Yibo, you don't have to take it too seriously."

Having said that, he paused slightly, and said meaningfully:
"As long as you like, you will have your share every year."

Obviously, this is implying that he is friendly with the new Jin Xungui.

Will not let him suffer.

It's a pity that Feng Yibo will naturally not accept such an obvious win over.

"Things are good things, and it would be a waste of money to use them for me."

Feng Yibo shook his head first, then added with a light smile:
"If the mentor knows, I'm afraid he will scold me too."

The implication is that he and Li Shouzhong will not side with the upstarts.

Although Qiu Peng also knew that Feng Yibo could not be won over with a few dollars of tribute.

But hearing his refusal, I still couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

At this moment, Feng Yibo said again:
"I'll accept these, and I won't make an exception."

At the beginning, I saw that this thing was precious.

He wanted to say no.

But when my heart moved, I remembered the allusion of the twelve hairpins.

I have done everything that should be done, and some favors are not a problem.

If you think that this little thing can make him stand in line, then the newly promoted noble is too naive.

Anyway, when he heard that he accepted it, Qiu Peng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said again and again:

"Okay, okay, I'll talk about it later."

All things have one and two.

Since Feng Yuan couldn't refuse this time, it might not be impossible to find the right way next time.

"Anyway, thank you for the overseas business."

Seeing that Feng Yibo still didn't answer his words, Qiu Peng said again:

"I'm a rough person, and I can't say anything nice."

He has always regarded himself as a rough man, but Feng Yibo knows that there are subtleties in his roughness.

If Feng Ziying really secretly took refuge in the new nobles, then both of them would be "actor kings".

At least most of the people in the capital were played by them.

"But you gave me face, let me have face, and you will tell me anything I can do in the future."

Qiu Peng patted his chest confidently, and proudly said:

"I don't dare to say anything else, but the whole thing is in the middle, and there are not many people who dare to provoke me."

Feng Yibo waved his hands when he heard the words, and said:
"Brother Wanli, once you help me, I will pay you back, so it's even."

When Qiu Peng heard this, he thought that Feng Yibo was going to draw a line with him.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo changed the topic and said:
"However, I think you are a good person. After the balance, we don't bring any utility, and it must be more comfortable."

Although he made it clear that he did not want to stand in line, he did not draw a clear line.

Qiu Peng breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is a trace of affection, there will be opportunities for cooperation sooner or later.

He immediately stopped entangled in the matter of wooing, and said with a casual smile:

"Originally, apart from Huimo, I also brought some sincerity from other people, but if you don't like it, I won't say it."

To be honest, if there is no doubt about Feng Ziying.

Feng Yibo really felt that Qiu Peng could be handed over.

Because of his personality, he can pick it up and put it down, and he doesn't stick to a single point.

Hearing what he said at this time, Feng Yibo immediately smiled and said:
"Since you said that, then I have something to say."

"Oh?"

Qiu Peng was taken aback when he heard the words, and then solemnly said:
"Appreciate further details!"

He has already made his words clear, and he will no longer win over Feng Yibo.

I don't know what else he has to say?
However, it doesn't matter what you say.

No matter what he said, Qiu Peng would try his best to satisfy.

But to his surprise, Feng Yibo smiled slightly and said:
"Brother Wanli is here, why don't you have a few drinks?"

Qiu Peng was startled for a moment, then he realized it and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha! Good! Let's get drunk today!"

For the requirements of the founder of the country, Feng Yibo just arranged them casually.

After Li Shouzhong joined the cabinet, he followed suit.

If it fails, the founder of the country will suffer, and he has nothing to lose.

On the side of Xinjin Xungui, Feng Yibo gave Qiu Peng a face.

At the same time, it is also to give face to the new Jin Xungui behind him.

In this way, we can sell well without using a team.

Multiple friends and multiple paths, maybe when it will be useful.

On that day, Qiu Peng returned home happily, and Feng Yibo was also very drunk.

The next day, Feng Yibo happily brought his wives and concubines together.

"I got a set of Hui ink by chance yesterday, and I want to give each of you a piece for each of you to enjoy."

With that said, he opened the box.

Third Sister You was the first to probe, and said in surprise:
"Could it be that I took it wrong, is this a silver pancake?"

When Miaoyu heard this, her eyes lit up.

Obviously she had already guessed something.

Baochai also took a look at this time, and asked with a chuckle:

"Master, if my guess is correct, this is the white ink recorded in the ink book, right?"

When Third Sister You heard the words, she immediately knew that she had lost her embarrassment.

Fortunately, they are all from their own family, and they all know that she is not good at this.

Therefore, she only blushed slightly and stopped talking.

Even if it's covered up.

Miaoyu nodded slightly beside her when she heard the words.

Obviously agree with Baochai's guess.

As soon as she heard it looked like a silver pancake, she knew it already.

"That's right, this is the white ink that was just restored in Huizhou. Someone gave me this set, and I'm willing to waste it, so I'll give it to you to enjoy."

Feng Yibo gently picked up a piece, and introduced:
"There are ten suits here, you can choose the one you like."

Seeing Feng Yibo's cautiousness, Second Sister You asked:

"Isn't this thing precious?"

He said hesitantly, and said:
"I'm not good at writing and ink, it's better not to stain good things."

In fact, she and the third sister have also started to learn, but it is obvious that they will not be able to learn in a short time.

Especially after pregnancy, I always have no energy.

Except for a little time for activities every day, most of the rest are lazy.

"Everyone has to choose one. Even if you don't need it, it's good to leave it for the next generation in the future."

Feng Yibo knew that the You sisters were not good at writing, but he didn't want them to be left out because of this.

So he deliberately mentioned the next generation, and the two of them were eager to try immediately when they heard the words.

"Well, I'll assign it. If there is any disagreement, I will change it."

Feng Yibo's proposal naturally won the support of his wives and concubines.

"This is a beautiful peony, and I think it must be my wife."

The peony flower was given to Baochai, the first wife of the second house, and it was regarded as a famous flower.

He carefully took it out, put it on a silk handkerchief, and handed it to Baochai.

Baochai quickly took it, but said:
"Although I like flowers, I don't dare to be the crown of flowers."

Although she is modest in her mouth, she is very sweet in her heart.

It's okay for others, but Feng Yibo approves.

Especially the recognition of appearance, Baochai couldn't help but be delighted.

"I said I deserve it!"

Feng Yibo set the tone domineeringly, and picked up another piece.

Also wrapped it in a silk handkerchief and handed it to Miaoyu, saying:

"This is a plum blossom with a noble heart, and it is Miaoyu."

Miaoyu once said that there is a plum blossom in Panxiang Temple.

The plum blossom was given to her as a gift to Buddha.

Seeing this, Miaoyu quickly took it and said:
"Miaoyu is ashamed to lead."

After receiving the plum blossom and white ink, Miaoyu was also very happy.

This is where she knows the goods and loves these literary and artistic things.

Coupled with Feng Yibo's praise.

Even Miaoyu, who is usually aloof and cold, inevitably showed a hint of joy.

At this time Feng Yibo picked out a piece of white ink, wrapped it up and handed it to Second Sister You, and said with a smile:

"This is a durian flower with many children and many blessings, which fits the body of the second sister."

As soon as the words came out, Second Sister You took it with a happy face.

"Thank you, grandpa!"

Durian flowers imply many children.

Even without Bai Mo's cherishing blessing, Second Sister You still likes this.

"This is Bingdihua, I will give it to the third sister, just like your sisters."

If there are two pieces of juxtaposed flowers, Feng Yibo doesn't have to give the durian flowers to Second Sister You.

But the sisters of the You family are not good at writing and ink, and the third sister You didn't feel wronged.

She took it generously, and secretly looked at her and said:

"Thank you, Lord. I just want to do my best for the Feng family like my sister."

"OK!"

Feng Yibo didn't think he was disobedient, he smiled and praised, and said:

"This is a lotus flower, and it matches the real Yinglian!"

Before he picked it up, Xiangling pouted and said:

"Father..."

Feng Yibo said strangely:

"Why, don't you like it?"

Xiangling shook her head, nodded again, and said nonuo:
"I want...I want to be a water chestnut flower."

Feng Yibo understood what she meant as soon as he heard it.

This is because she doesn't want to be Zhen Yinglian again, she just wants to stay by her side.

Thinking of this, he laughed and shook his head, saying:

"Linghua can be given to you, but you have to remember, whether it is Xiangling or Yinglian, you are my concubine."

When Xiang Ling heard this, she was immediately happy.

She nodded vigorously a few times before saying:
"Ok!"

After the allocation, several people feel like they have received a treasure.

They were carefully collected.

The remaining six yuan Feng Yibo also temporarily sealed up, waiting for someone who is destined.

For a few of them, Feng Yibo already has a favorite candidate.

"This orchid is reserved for the senior sister, which happens to be named Lan'er."

Feng Yibo only thought that if the orchid was left to senior sister Li Wan, she would definitely be happy.

But he didn't notice that as soon as these words came out, all the girls present were taken aback.

But then they all felt relieved.

They thought it was a family heirloom.

A scholarly family, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are just right.

Especially Baochai and Miaoyu, they all know the preciousness of white ink.

This thing is only recorded in ancient books, and it is also said to be lost.

Although it was recreated.

But the first batch, especially the complete set of boutique.

Still very collectible.

If it is scattered, it will not be a complete set.

That's half the value.

But thinking about the relationship between Feng Yibo and Li Shouzhong, the girls felt that it was normal to give Li Wan a share.

Feng Yibo didn't think too much, but had already started thinking about the next candidate.

"As for Daiyu, madam, which do you think is better, hibiscus or peach blossom?"

Baochai heard this and thought about it.

Then he smiled lightly and said:

"It's better to let her choose by herself, lest I choose her to be paranoid."

Feng Yibo was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly said:
"Eh? That's fine."

Daiyu has a delicate mind, it would be fine if Feng Yibo chose her.

But if Baochai chooses her, he will have to think too much about it.

In fact, Feng Yibo only took out ten yuan, and hid two more.

They are going to be taken to Keqing and Wang Xifeng.

What was left to Keqing was crabapple flowers.

Begonia is the most expensive flower, and it also has the meaning of parting.

It is suitable to express the feeling of missing.

What was left to Wang Xifeng was roses.

Bright and eye-catching, but thorny.

It just suits Wang Xifeng's temperament.

As for Yuanchun, presumably the palace has its own distribution.

He's afraid it won't be enough.
