Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 244 Reflection and decision, chance encounter and solicitation
Although Wang Xifeng had already followed Feng Yibo in fact.

Together with Keqing, he is in charge of all the affairs of Donghai County.

In Donghai County, it is definitely a high position and weight.

But all along, Feng Yibo's cronies in the Black Dragon Mansion have been wary of her and Heping'er.

The two of them were also in a state of semi-circle ban in Liuqiu, and the scope of their activities was mainly limited to the Black Dragon Mansion.

People who can meet are also people who can be trusted.

Occasionally go out, have to be under heavy "protection".

This is naturally because the two of them went to Liuqiu not out of their original intentions.

Instead, they were taken captive.

Feng Yibo was worried that they would reveal their identities or do something irrational.

Therefore, I specially told Gouzi and other confidants to be optimistic about the two of them.

But now that Wang Xifeng has given birth to an heir, Feng Yibo intends to let her take over the power in Luzon.

Mengzi's first reaction after hearing this was that the second mistress was already one of his own.

Then there should be no need to guard against it anymore, right?
Hearing this question, Feng Yibo thought for a while before hesitating:

"This matter...let's talk about it later."

Although Wang Xifeng has given birth to a son for him now, Feng Yibo is still worried.

It's not that she is worried that she will betray herself and reveal her identity.

Instead, he hesitated to give her the degree of freedom.

If she has absolute freedom, give her enough power.

With her vengeful temperament, will she send someone to take revenge on Jia Lian immediately?

Not to mention whether or not their identities will be exposed, only the friendship between Feng Yibo and Jia Lian.

He didn't want this to happen either.

Mengzi didn't think too much, just nodded when he heard the words, and asked again:

"By the way, sir, what's more, if Miss Ping'er is not willing?"

If Gouzi was there, there is a high probability that such a question would not be asked.

Because in the eyes of most people, although Ping'er is Wang Xifeng's confidant.

But it's just a maid, and it's the master's private life.

But Mengzi didn't have much thought.

Just now Feng Yibo said that if Ping'er wants to do so.

After hearing this, he naturally thought of what would happen if Ping'er didn't want to.

Feng Yibo was taken aback by this casual question.

Yes!

He never thought about whether Ping'er would like it or not?

At the beginning, Wang Xifeng wanted to promise Ping'er to Mengzi, obviously because the master and servant were isolated and helpless in the Black Dragon Mansion.

For the helpless move she stretched out her hand.

But now Wang Xifeng is in power and has a son.

Would he give up Ping'er, the only one who was by his side, so easily?

Even if Wang Xifeng is willing, what about Ping'er?

Does she really want to?

Whether she is willing or not, will Wang Xifeng force her to marry Zhou Lin in order to seize power?

I was also dazzled by the joy of having children!

He actually thought that Wang Xifeng wanted to exchange Ping'er for power before, so now he will fulfill her and treat it as a reward.

But is it really still used now?

As soon as these thoughts came out, Feng Yibo thought more deeply.

Even, start to reflect on yourself.

What makes Feng Yibo reflect is not whether Wang Xifeng will force Ping'er this time.

Rather, since when did I casually use women as pawns?
He asked Keqing and Wang Xifeng to be in charge of Donghai County, Baochai to learn about business, and Miaoyu to help him write textbooks...

Also encourage wives and concubines to find what they want to do!

Do you want to use them as pawns?

No!

There is a large part of my original intention.

It is to let these beautiful women be able to give full play to their strengths.

Instead of just becoming his vassal, being kept in captivity in the mansion for him to play.

What now?
He wanted to promise Ping'er to Zhou Lin casually!

I want to help Wang Xifeng better grasp Luzon through this method.

I said one thing in Donghai County, so I still need to win over my subordinates like this?
When did I start, I have become accustomed to the values ​​of this era.

Taking the green girl as an item, and deciding her fate at will?

For a moment, Feng Yibo thought a lot.

"Shut up!"

Under Mengzi's puzzled eyes, Feng Yibo heaved a long sigh of relief, and said:

"You're right, I was a little hasty about Ping'er."

Meng Zi was a little confused when he heard it, and he didn't know where Feng Yibo was being careless.

He just simply asked what to do if Ping'er disagreed.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the master was stunned for a long time.

Then say you are sloppy?

At this time Feng Yibo had already organized his thoughts, and solemnly said:

"There is no need to mention this matter again. What you need to do when you go back is another thing."

Although Mengzi was a little puzzled by Feng Yibo's repetition, seeing Feng Yibo's serious face, he quickly responded:

"My lord, just give orders."

Mengzi didn't understand the reason for the sudden cancellation of the previous decision.

But just looking at Feng Yibo's face, Meng Zi knew that what he said next should be very important.

"Go back and tell the eldest grandma and the second grandma to start training and selecting some women to be officials."

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo paused, and said:

"As for the reason, let's say it is for the convenience of cooperating with the two directors."

After figuring it out, Feng Yibo decided to carry out some reforms in Donghai County.

He is going to improve the status of women within a certain range.

Not talking about equality between men and women, but at least let women start to have some say.

Doing this is not just a reminder to yourself.

Let yourself be almost assimilated by the values ​​​​of this era, reverse it a little.

It is also to let the women in Donghai County try not to be constrained by the shackles of this era.

Be able to do what you want to do.

Of course, there are other benefits to doing this as well.

That is, to a certain extent, productivity can be liberated.

But Feng Yibo deeply understands one thing.

That is, nothing should be rushed.

And he also needs a legitimate reason, otherwise he will be easily backlashed by the times.

That's why he said it was for the convenience of Keqing and Wang Xifeng.

These two are the biggest managers in Donghai County.

But apart from them in Donghai County, the status of most of the women is no different from that of Dawei.

So the breakthrough Feng Yibo thought of was to start from around them.

Mengzi has no doubts about letting a woman be in charge.

But after hearing Feng Yibo's words, he hesitated and said:
"Then Zhou Lin..."

Mengzi didn't care whether the woman could be in charge of the government, he only cared about whether he could have a future for Zhou Lin.

This is the main purpose of his visit this time!

Now that he had made a decision, Feng Yibo made a decisive decision, smiled, and said:

"This matter remains the same. There is no need for Ping'er to marry. Lu Song will still be in charge of the second grandmother, and Zhou Lin will also be the Lu Song Jiedu."

"it is good!"

Mengzi nodded happily when he heard this.

Needless to say, Feng Yibo handled the government documents of Donghai County afterwards.

When he arrived at Xiangling's side in the evening, he was not as diligent in sowing seeds as in the past.

Instead, he was holding Xiangling obediently, thinking about something with his eyes out of focus.

Xiang Ling sees that Feng Yibo has something to worry about.

But she didn't ask much, just arched into Feng Yibo's arms.

Bring your bodies closer together.

I want him to feel his tenderness.

Feng Yibo had been thinking about reforms to allow women to hold a certain amount of power.

Now it is just a start, how to do it in the future, and to what extent.

It's all for him to think about.

At this time, seeing Xiangling sticking to her body, she knew that she was worried about herself.

Feng Yibo couldn't help but also stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly in response.

The two of them didn't speak, just quietly feeling each other's heartbeat.

Slowly, Feng Yibo temporarily let go of his thoughts.

Some irritated hearts gradually calmed down.

After a night of nothing, Feng Yibo brought Baochai to Rong Mansion early the next morning.

Ready to pick up the Xue family and the others.

Baochai and Baoqin went with Xuemu to the backyard, and said goodbye to Jiamu, Mrs. Wang and others.

Feng Yibo brought Xue Pan and Xue Bian to Jia Lian's courtyard for a drink.

Baoyu got the letter and came to join in the fun.

A few people drank and chatted about some things, and soon the wine became hot.

On the way, Feng Yibo came out for convenience.

When I came back, I met Xiren who had just entered the hospital.

When the two met, they were taken aback.

Xiren reacted first, and stepped forward to salute generously.

"I've seen Uncle Feng!"

Feng Yibo didn't say much, nodded and wanted to go back to the house.

Unexpectedly, Xiren stopped him from behind and said:

"Uncle Feng doesn't have to be like this. My previous behavior was a bit inappropriate. I think your grandma has told you about it, but you can rest assured that I won't try to trick Feng's family again."

She obviously misunderstood Feng Yibo, thinking that he was afraid of being entangled.

Just avoid yourself like a snake and a scorpion.

"Ok?"

Feng Yibo was slightly surprised when he heard this.

In fact, Xiren also misunderstood Baochai.

Because Baochai didn't tell Feng Yibo about the attack in detail.

He did know that, though.

Feng Yibo learned about it from Xueyan, a clever little ghost, and he heard about it at the time.

Unexpectedly, Xiren ignored him when he saw him.

How dare you take the initiative to tell him this.

You know, if this word is heard.

Her fame is over!
No, Xiren not only explained frankly, but also took a few steps closer and said:
"I know the uncle must dislike me, but even though I climbed into Baoyu's bed, I don't think I'm dirty, it's just..."

At this point, she showed a wry smile and said:
"It's just that my heart is a little dirty."

Xiren knew that going to Feng's residence was hopeless, but when she saw Feng Yibo dodging like a snake, she was filled with grievances.

For some reason, I just want to make it clear.

She even talked about going to bed with Baoyu.

Although he is Baoyu's maidservant, it's no secret.

But it can't be spread everywhere.

In fact, she just ran into walls one after another during this period, and she had nowhere to vent her emotions.

Now meeting Feng Yibo as his first target, he still avoids her like a snake.

Xiren was a little unspeakably emotional, so he spoke out what was in his mind.

Unexpectedly, when she said this, Feng Yibo was a little surprised.

She said frankly that she went to Baoyu's bed, but she didn't feel her body was dirty.

Instead, speak your heart.

These words have jumped out of the stereotype of "unclean body" in this era.

She won't put herself down just because she slept with a man.

And what she hates is her self who is forced to learn to intrigue, cater to others, and do whatever she can!

All day and night, Feng Yibo has been thinking about the reform of Donghai County.

It's about the status of women.

Now that Xiren said such words in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.

Seeing the attackers running into the house, they should be looking for Baoyu.

Feng Yibo called out to stop her.

"and many more!"

Xiren's footsteps were fixed, and he turned his head in doubt.

Feng Yibo walked in front of him, and said seriously:
"If you really want to leave Jia's house and want to do something, you can come to me."

When Xiren heard the words, his eyes lit up, but he couldn't believe it, and asked:
"Uncle Feng likes me?"

Hitting a wall one after another made her almost give up, but she didn't expect to turn around today.

The first goal is about to be achieved?

Unfortunately, at this moment, she saw Feng Yibo shaking his head.

The hope that Xiren had just raised was suddenly shattered.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo smiled again and said:

"It's not about you, it's about you."

Xiren naturally didn't understand the meaning of these words, and looked at Feng Yibo with a puzzled frown.

Fortunately, Feng Yibo was not going around the bush, and said directly:
"I think you are a malleable talent. I want you to work for me, not to be a concubine. If you want to do something, come to me."

Xiren doesn't know the difference between falling in love with her and falling in love with her.

But let her do things, not be a concubine.

But she understood.

"I think!"

Without thinking too much, Xiren nodded decisively.

I am afraid that the opportunity will be fleeting.

"As long as you don't mind me, and there is room for me, I will wholeheartedly learn from you in the future, and I will never let you down!"

She had always had expectations for Baoyubao before, but now she has seen through it thoroughly.

Baoyu is an unreliable person.

And none of the women who went to Feng's house had a bad life.

Xiren also heard that Feng Yibo asked Baochai to manage the business.

Even encouraged the aunt at home to go out.

Never underestimate this.

In this era, the main house can go out and walk around the back houses.

The concubine's room is the vassal of the master, and can only stay at home honestly.

Good concubines are not bad, somewhat human rights.

But the servant girl, or concubine.

Its status is only a little stronger than that of a maid.

The main house is in the house, so I can only stand and wait.

The main room gives a seat, and can only sit sideways.

If you are eating, always get ready to add rice and vegetables.

Do not go out without the permission of the main house.

When the main room reprimanded him, he had to retaliate.

Don't accept things from others without the permission of the main house.

If the main house is not there, you have to hand in the gifts one by one after receiving them.

If the main house asks you to take it back, it can be regarded as a reward from the main house.

This is the status that the servant girl raised as a housemate.

Even if she gave birth to a son and a half daughter, she would still be a slave in front of the main house!
Seeing that she readily agreed, Feng Yibo said:
"Okay, I heard that you are sure to regain your freedom, then come to me again, and I will give you a sum of money to settle down at home."

Xiren was excited, with a firm face, and said:

"Okay! I'm going to beg the old lady for a few days!"

Feng Yibo nodded and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, think it over before you talk."

Having said that, he paused and said:

"By the way, you are here..."

"what!"

Xiren, who has always been calm, let out a low cry and hurriedly said:

"I almost forgot the business, the old lady, my wife asked me to call Baoyu, afraid that he would drink too much wine and hurt himself!"

As he said that, he hurriedly went into the house, and while walking, he turned around and said:
"I'll go first, sir...see you later."

When Feng Yibo entered the room unhurriedly, Xiren had already come out with the sullen Baoyu.

Just listen to Baoyu walking, muttering:

"My wife is too careful. She must have mentioned it first. It's not like there is no wine at the old lady's place. Now it's okay to have a few more bites here."

Seeing Feng Yibo, Xiren nodded slightly, but persuaded:

"In front of old ladies and wives, it's okay for you to eat, but they don't see you. If you eat too much, they will blame Second Master Lian."

Seeing Feng Yibo at this moment, Baoyu said with some shame:

"Brother Feng, my wife let me go, so I can't stay with you for a long time!"

Feng Yibo moved away, smiled and said:

"My wife is also doing it for your own good. Go quickly, so as not to worry them."

"Then I'll go there first!"

When Baoyu heard the words, he stopped talking and left immediately.

Xiren hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly to Feng Yibo.

Then he quickly followed.

When the two arrived in the courtyard, they heard Feng Yibo say from behind:
"There's no need to be in a hurry, think about how to get back to the wife and the old lady first, don't panic, and then fall."

"understood!"

Baoyu didn't reply when he heard the words.

When Xiren heard this, he stopped and turned around.

He pursed his lips and revealed a sweet smile.

He nodded firmly at Feng Yibo again.

Then, he chased after Baoyu.
