Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 415
After two years of dredging and rectification, the channel of Jilong River has finally run through.

Some places are too turbulent to form waterfalls, and the water flow has also been slowed down by diversion, but there are a few canyons in the middle. If you want to widen the project, it will be too much.

Therefore, large ships still cannot pass through, and only small ships can transport people and goods without hindrance.

All the way through the mountains and across the gorge, I finally came to the new town of Heilong Mansion.

"Welcome to the Black Dragon King!"

This time, the representatives of the various divisions of the Black Dragon Mansion also received letters, and all the people on the pier came to welcome Feng Yibo.

As soon as the ship docked, he bowed down and bowed down!
Feng Yibo raised his hand slightly, and said softly: "Everyone has worked hard."

The dog next to him also said loudly: "No."

Only then did everyone get up one after another, Feng Yibo disembarked slowly, and went straight to the leader Wang Xifeng and Ke Qing.

"I am back."

Ke Qing only looked at him with a smile, tears streaming down her face.

In the past few years, she and Wang Xifeng still cooperate with each other tacitly, but as Feng Chi grows bigger, so does her pressure.

Seeing Feng Yibo at this moment, all the grievances accumulated in his heart immediately flooded his mind.

But when Wang Xifeng saw her like this, she turned her beautiful eyes lightly, and then said:
"It's good that Grandpa is back!"

As he spoke, he pulled his son and urged:
"Brother Chi, why don't you call someone?"

"Father..."

Feng Can yelled a little timidly, obviously Wang Xifeng had taught him.

Feng Yibo smiled and nodded, but ran towards Keqing, first gently wiped away Keqing's tears, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Then regardless of Keqing's red ears, he stepped forward with a smile, hugged Feng Chi, and said with a smile:

"It's fine to call me father, and daddy is also fine!"

Wang Xifeng saw that he was intimate with Keqing but didn't see him, now seeing him pick up his son, he immediately smiled and said:
"Master, people like us can call us whatever we want at home, but wouldn't it make people laugh if we call them like ordinary people outside?"

Feng Yibo patted Feng Chi's little butt lightly, and said nonchalantly, "Donghai County belongs to us, and we set the rules. Even if we leave Donghai County, who would dare to laugh?"

"What the Lord said is that I am short-sighted after all." Wang Xifeng stepped forward with a smile, took Feng Chi's little hand, and taught: "Brother Chi is not called Daddy yet."

Feng Chi was still a little shy, he didn't dare to move in Feng Yibo's arms, and when he heard his mother calling her, he reluctantly called out: "Daddy."

"good."

Feng Yibo nodded in satisfaction, and walked towards the mansion with Feng Chi in his arms, Ke Qing and Wang Xifeng followed.

Representatives of various divisions hesitated to follow up, but were stopped by Gouzi.

"My lord is exhausted. I already know the intention of you coming to greet me today. My lord will inspect the work of each department in a few days. You should go back and make preparations early, so don't lose the chain at the critical moment."

Everyone hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Black Dog King, for your advice!"

After speaking, many people hurried back to make arrangements, but only five palm prints remained.

That is to say, Ruizhu, Ping'er, Qianxue, Yuanyang and Xiren entered the mansion together with Gouzi, Mengzi and Qin Zhong.

These are all Feng Yibo's private affairs, so they are naturally different from others.

After entering the mansion, Feng Yibo first went to take a bath and change his clothes to wash off the dust all over his body.

When changing clothes, he found that the two maids serving the bath were both characters, and they looked familiar.

Feng Yibo looked at it intently, then frowned and said:
"Are you the daughters of the Zhen family?"

The two trembled when they heard the words, and one of them reluctantly said:

"I would like to say, this is my sister's letter. I dare not lie to the lord. My original name is Zhen Yingtai, and my younger sister's original name is Zhen Yingzi. We are both daughters of the Zhen family in Jinling, and now we are serving by the eldest wife's side."

According to the customs of Zhen's family, the names of daughters are also named after the man's name, that is, the same character as the man's Fan.

It is not like ordinary people who use colorful characters such as "spring, red, fragrance, jade".

The previous generations of the Zhen family all started with the word "bei".

Zhen Shi's anonymous name is Zhen Fei, and he is a distant branch of the Zhen family.

In the entire Zhen family's younger generation, only Zhen Yingjia is different.

This was the last time Emperor Taizu lived in the Zhen family when he visited the south of the Yangtze River. He happened to be born as the first son of the Zhen family, so he was named Ying Jia.

On the surface, it should be the meaning of "prosperity to all people with gifts".

In fact, there is also a saying of "dismissing the people with Jiashiping".

These two are from "Zhou Li".

Needless to say, the former naturally refers to Emperor Taizu's visit to the south of the Yangtze River as a gift for the people.

The latter, on the other hand, was beating the Zhen family and telling them to correct their mistakes.

It's a pity that the head of the Zhen family at the time, that is, Zhen Yingjia's father, knew the meaning of it, but still didn't know how to repent.

When Zhen Yingjia arrived, he followed suit and gave the next generation the baby name "Baoyu", which corresponds to Jiashi.

But that's the limit. The Zhen family is like this, dragging down one generation after another, often seeming to have a desire to correct themselves, but in fact they always have illusions and pin their hopes on the next generation.

Deceive yourself and others, and the result will naturally be the ruin of your family.

It was also Zhen Yingjia who was given a unique name by Taizu, who was unique and determined the position of patriarch of the Zhen family in advance.

When it comes to the next generation, follow the word "Ying".

This is true of Zhen Yinglian from Xiangling, and the same is true of the sisters of the Zhen family.

It was the first time Feng Yibo saw this pair of sisters, so he couldn't help but take a closer look.

It is true that the eyebrows and eyes of the two are somewhat similar to Qin Keqing, and if you look carefully, they also have similarities with Xiangling, but their temperament is quite different from the two.

Qin Keqing is coquettish and graceful, with a myriad of manners.

Xiangling has a similar figure, but is very cute.

And the sisters also have their own characteristics.

Sister Zhen Yingtai seemed to have a brisk temper, and her speech was clear, but she was very nervous or frightened in front of him, and trembled slightly when she spoke.

The younger sister looks very weak, coupled with the appearance of carefully hiding behind her sister, not daring to raise her head to meet Feng Yibo's eyes, it adds a bit of affectionate feeling.

Feng Yibo nodded when he heard the words, he didn't say anything, he just calculated in his heart.

After all, I still need to communicate with Keqing about this matter.

Seeing the black dragon king who can't see the end of the dragon, Zhen Yingtai was very scared at first, thinking that today the sisters would sacrifice their lives.

It can be seen that the other party only glanced twice, nodded and left the bathroom, feeling a little anxious again.

She wanted to say something more, but Zhen Yingzi held her back and shook her head slightly.

Feng Yibo ignored the careful thoughts of the two, and went straight to Qin Keqing's courtyard.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's hard to help each other.

For a time, thunder and fire were worth a thousand words.

"You know I didn't mean that. The two sisters of the Zhen family were not entrusted to you for your own sake..."

But Qing let out a long breath before explaining:
"Did you ask me to use them to win over the people below? When I first saw them, I only felt a little close to them, and in addition, they were somewhat similar to me, so I stayed by my side to serve."

Gouzi mentioned the pair of sisters earlier, and Feng Yibo asked Keqing to deal with it.

He originally intended that he didn't want to keep members of the Zhen family in the mansion, and asked Keqing to bestow meritorious officials in Donghai County to help her gather some hearts.

Unexpectedly, Keqing didn't do this, not only kept them as maidservants in the mansion, but also sent them to him.

The meaning of this can be imagined.

But Qing obviously didn't plan to use it to win others over, but sent it to him to be loved.

It seems that after Wang Xifeng had a son, Qin Keqing was under a lot of pressure, and that's why she acted like this.

Feng Yibo thought of these things before he wanted to make it clear to Ke Qing.

Unexpectedly, without waiting for him to mention it, Ke Qing hurriedly asked him to take the two of them back.

"Although I'm not a womanizer, I won't disrupt my original plan because of two strangers."

Originally, Feng Yibo thought it would be a protracted war with the Wa Kingdom, so he had to do everything possible to mobilize the entire Donghai County, and even the people along the southeast coast of Wei.

In addition to the hatred of the traitors in the previous life, the signboard of the Police Academy was erected at the beginning, and there was also a big reason for using this matter to mobilize emotions and give a psychological hint to the people of Donghai County.

Unexpectedly, the war lasted not long, and he found an opportunity. In the end, it was determined by the war and signed the terms of peace.

This greatly reduced the role of the Police Academy. In addition to venting anger, even if it could give some warning to future generations, it was far from achieving the effect he wanted.

However, the reservation should still be maintained.

It is impossible for him to cancel the originally announced order for the sake of two women, which will damage his authority.

Ke Qing heard Feng Yibo's concerns immediately, but said with a smile:
"My lord is really too cautious. The female relatives of criminal officials in the past dynasties were either slaves or entered into the Jiaofang Division. Did it have any influence?"

In her view, the Zhen family is equivalent to a criminal officer, and the Police Academy is the Jiaofang Division.

Since it fell into the hands of Donghai County, there is nothing wrong with leaving two good-looking ones to serve this master.

"Except for Wu Zhou, is there any woman in Donghai County who can be in charge in all dynasties?"

Feng Yibo shook his head, and said solemnly:

"Except for traitors and foreigners, we in Donghai County don't have cheap ancestry. This is not because there is a shortage of people, but because I did it on purpose."

Ke Qing was taken aback when he heard the words, a little puzzled.

"I want women in Donghai County to be the same as men. They can study, work, and be officials. Except for some special jobs where men and women are distinguished, I hope that women in Donghai County have the same status as men and can stand up Half the sky in Donghae County."

Although the population of Donghai County has continued to rise, not to mention the Great Wei, even the Wa Kingdom with a population of tens of millions has crushed Donghai County in terms of size.

Therefore, Feng Yibo's idea all along is to do both!

While digging the corners of Wei Wei, a large number of immigrants were absorbed.

On the other side, it fell on these women in Donghai County.

In addition to encouraging childbearing, he has also been committed to subtly improving the status of women to maximize the liberation of existing productivity.

And according to this trend, if the two daughters of the Zhen family are taken over, their status will inevitably increase as they become his housemates in the future.

If the two gave birth to another son and a half daughter for Feng Yibo, they would inevitably take the opportunity to intercede for the Zhen family.

By then, wouldn't the words written at the gate of the Police Academy become empty words?
Ke Qing was a little flustered for a while, and hurriedly said:

"Then did I disrupt the master's arrangement? Please punish me!"

In her opinion, the Zhen family has been unable to stand up for generations in Donghai County.

Apart from their good looks, these two sisters are not threatening at all, and they have no family behind them, so they can be subdued with a little love.

It is the best candidate for solid pets.

Unexpectedly, so many things were involved.

Seeing that she understood, Feng Yibo shook his head with a smile, and said:

"Those who don't know are not guilty. Besides, I also know that you are under a lot of pressure, but asking for others is better than asking for yourself. This time we will work hard together when we come back."

When Ke Qing heard this, she gave him a flamboyant look, and then silently made a pose, taking whatever she wanted.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo was not in a hurry, but continued:

"As for the two girls from Zhen's family, it's your intention after all. If they know good or bad, they will stay by your side and be housemates."

After all, Donghai County is his territory.

If the fat in his mouth is still spitting out, it will inevitably make people think that he is too disciplined.

As the saying goes: A gentleman can be deceived by others.

A ruler like him who seldom shows up must give people the impression that he is moody and unpredictable.

If people think that he is following the rules, it will make some people lose their awe.

So since Keqing did it, he just needs to explain the matter clearly.

This is not only unpredictable, but also saves enough face for Keqing.

It is possible to avoid similar incidents in the future, and it is logical to accept the pair of sisters.

"Hmph! Then I'll thank the Lord for your forgiveness on their behalf."

Seeing him going around, Qing still agreed to accept the sisters of the Zhen family, even though she understood what Feng Yibo meant, she still couldn't help giving him a blank look.

"Haha, it depends on your performance!"

Feng Yibo smirked and stretched out his hand to pat lightly, with a "pop".

"Turn around first!"

"Humph!"

The next day, Feng Yibo went to each department to inspect the work under the guidance of the five palm prints.

The Personnel Department is preparing for the scientific examination.

Because there is no culture department, and the scientific examination is related to future civil examination officials, it is handed over to the personnel department.

This year's entrance examination is about to start, and the principals of all middle schools are meeting here.

Feng Yibo listened for a while, and even recorded some, but he didn't make any suggestion on the spot.

He said one thing in Donghai County, and even if he had any ideas, he had to issue them in the form of government orders.

The Military Division is very busy.

The mobilization of troops from various places, the logistics of the expedition, etc. are all in charge here.

Feng Yibo asked about the progress of the assembly, and then took people away.

The legal department is the most leisurely, no different from usual.

Feng Yibo heard about a trivial case, and then left silently.

In the Finance Department, money and food piled up like a mountain.

Feng Yibo felt a sense of satisfaction every time he saw a treasury of money and food.

The craftsman department is still rushing to make ordnance day and night.

Feng Yibo turned around, and went to look at a lot of equipment that was still under experimentation.

Here he finally opened his mouth and made a lot of suggestions, which benefited the craftsmen a lot.

Many projects that are in the bottleneck have more or less taken shape.

At night, Feng Yibo was not in a hurry to eat the sisters of the Zhen family, but went to Wang Xifeng's side first.

He came this time with plenty of time, so he couldn't neglect Wang Xifeng just because of the two girls from the Zhen family.
