Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 25
After receiving the report from Menzi, Jia Zheng immediately had someone call Jia Yucun.

The two waited together in the South Hall of Rongxi Hall.

Soon, Feng Yibo and Gouzi were also brought into the hall.

As soon as he entered the door, Feng Yibo immediately bowed and saluted:

"Feng Yibo, the younger generation of Jinling, met Zheng Gong and old Mr. Yucun!"

"Watch and sit."

Jia Zheng raised his hand and said with a smile:

"I heard Yucun say that you are a good-looking talent, and today I saw you, you are really extraordinary, you are really a young talent, and you have a dignified appearance!"

"Miao Zan, Mr. Zheng, this is a letter from my mentor to you and my senior sister."

Feng Yibo handed over the letter with both hands, and after the other party took it, he returned and sat down.

Jia Zheng took the letter and didn't read it in a hurry, but asked first with concern: "How is your father-in-law?"

"Master, the old man is very healthy. Before the younger generation set off, the teacher even sent me to the pier personally."

Just then Jia Zheng nodded, and waved his hand to call a maid serving in the hall.

"Send this letter to the eldest daughter-in-law."

The servant girl responded, and went straight to the back house with the letter.

Jia Zheng opened the letter and said, "I heard that you came to Duzhong this time to participate in the Spring Festival. I don't know if you are satisfied with your performance?"

He just cares casually.

Unexpectedly, with one word from Feng Yibo, Jia Zheng, who was opening the letter, could not be dealt with.

"To tell you the truth, I feel that I will have a great chance to try this time!"

"Forehead?"

Normally, such a question should be a few words of modesty.

For example: I will do my best, and the rest will depend on God's will.

At this time, Jia Zheng took the opportunity to encourage a few words: Just work hard, and you will definitely be named on the gold list.

But now, Feng Yibo was not humble at all, but directly said: I did well in the exam.

Jia Zheng didn't react for a while, and the letter in his hand stopped halfway through opening.

Fortunately, there was Jia Yucun, who had been silent all this time, in the hall, and he made an interface in time.

He smiled and said: "During the journey, I have learned a lot, and I knew at that time that you would win the toad palace!"

Hearing this, Feng Yibo immediately got up to salute, and said gratefully: "If it wasn't for Mr. Yucun's guidance, I wouldn't dare to say that."

"Originally, under the guidance of my mentor, I have a lot of confidence, and I was lucky to walk with the old Mr. Yucun along the way, and I gained a lot."

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo smiled freely and said:
"If I become humble again at this time, I'm afraid I'll be sorry for the teachings of my teacher and Mr. Yucun's guidance along the way."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing the confidence on Feng Yibo's face, Jia Zheng laughed a few times.

He said in his mouth: "Young people must have this vigor!"

But I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart.

After all, it is a government to solve the Yuan, so bold.

With Jia's family, how many people want to curry favor?

And he saw that not only was he not flattering, but he was neither humble nor overbearing.

Speak confidently and freely, without any sense of humility.

Jia Zheng really liked it more and more.

Especially thinking of my incompetent...

All day long, you know how to mess around in the inner house!

He must be beaten up later to let him know the consequences of not reading.

"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Yucun."

Feng Yibo got up to thank him.

Raising his hand again, Gouzi handed over a package.

Three scrolls were exposed outside, presumably the presents were some calligraphy and paintings.

Feng Yibo opened the package, and took out a scroll and an ancient book from it.

He took out another gift list and handed it to Jia Zheng, saying:

"This is a small courtesy. On behalf of my family teacher, I would like to greet the old lady and Zhenggong."

One volume of the only copy of the "Diamond Sutra", and one copy of Tang Yin's "Picture of Apricot Blossoms".

In addition, precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antler are listed.

Such a gift list is already a heavy gift.

Jia Zheng naturally understood that Feng Yibo prepared for Li Shouzhong.

But just like that, he was surprised at the generosity of his hand after seeing it.

"My father-in-law is too polite. I'm very happy to have a chance to come."

Feng Yibo smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

He took out a scroll of calligraphy and painting and a money order from the package.

And a gift list was handed to Jia Yucun.

A pair of "Qing Yun Tu".

2000 tael official bank draft.

"Thank you Mr. Yucun for your thoughtfulness on board, and for your guidance along the way."

Gratitude is natural and true.

After all, there are traces of Jia Yucun to a large extent in the policy theory part of this meeting.

But in fact, 1000 taels is enough.

The reason why Feng Yibo added 1000 taels was actually an investment.

Because he clearly remembered that Jia Yucun would not only be restored to use in the future, but also be an official to the magistrate of Yingtian.

That was the parent officer in his hometown.

Taking advantage of investing a little now, you will definitely make a profit without losing money.

"This is a little bit of my heart, please accept it with a smile from Mr. Yucun!"

Jia Yucun quickly took it, smiled casually, and said, "Since it's Yibo's kindness, I won't refuse."

He wasn't poor, but he certainly didn't have a lot of money.

2000 taels of official silver is enough for him to buy a lot of things.

However, he was still a little confused when he watched "Azure Cloud".

It must be worth a lot to be able to send him with the 2000 taels of money order.

But he never heard of it.

When I opened it, I saw the word "Qingyun" written on it in a tall and elegant font.

However, the accompanying painting is very immature, with a shape but no meaning.

And there is no signature.

Jia Yucun hesitated and said: "Let's not mention this painting for the time being, but the word Qingyun has the style of a famous artist... Excuse me for my limited knowledge, I don't know which master it came from?"

"The old man is overrated."

Feng Yibo replied with a smile: "I didn't do it myself, I only hope that Mr. Yucun can recover as soon as possible, and live up to Qingyun's ambition!"

He didn't say anything else, but he believed that Jia Yucun could understand it.

The unfinished meaning of the word "Qingyun" is to wish Jia Yucun a smooth rise and a straight rise to the top.

Knowing that Feng Yibo did it himself, Jia Yucun immediately understood what he meant.

Even, apart from these superficial meanings.

He also understood that Feng Yibo was probably helping him to get Jia Zheng in a disguised form.

Immediately, Jia Yucun couldn't say anything more, so he just smiled and praised:
"I didn't expect Yibo to be good at painting and calligraphy. It's really rare."

"Occasionally, I feel something, doodling at will, and I hope the old man doesn't think it's crude."

Feng Yibo smiled and waved his hands.

He learned a little sketching in his previous life, and a little painting in this life.

It's just that, whether it's sketching or painting, he is a half-assed.

At most, it is used to fool laymen, and those who really understand can know its foundation at a glance.

The painting he gave Jia Yucun was just a gimmick.

At the same time, it is also to pave the way for another painting.

The real gift to Jia Yucun was actually the 2000 tael money order.

While several people were exchanging greetings, the maid who had just delivered the letter came back to report.

"Second Master, Grandma Zhu is in the old lady's room. She has been crying after reading the letter, so the old lady asked me to take a look."

"If the second master ends here, I will ask the younger generation of Grandma Zhu's family to enter the inner house for a while, so that Grandma Zhu can ask about Li Gong's recent situation, so as to comfort him in missing his parents."

Jia Zheng nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Okay, since my mother is calling, I will take Yibo there later."
