Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 138

When Feng Yibo was taking a rest, he made an appointment with Liu Zheng and Yang Mingxin.

The three, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, made an appointment to meet again in the Zhuangyuan Building.

It's a reminiscence of the past.

For more than a year, Feng Yibo has been traveling here and there.

The two of them were not idle in the Imperial Academy.

Although he was not as fast as Feng Yibo, he performed equally brilliantly.

The speed of promotion is far faster than that of peers.

Liu Zheng has already been promoted from a six-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy to a fifth-rank Hanlin Academy attendant lecturer.

He had several wonderful performances in Jingyan, and was praised by Emperor Jingshun.

In private, he got very close to Zhang Songyue.

Yang Mingxin was also promoted two ranks in the same way, from editor to sixth-rank attendant.

It is similar to Feng Yibo's attendant speech before.

The promotion speed of the two of them is already too high.

If Feng Yibo is still in the Hanlin Academy, honestly following the Qingliu route.

At this time, the two may have been left behind.

Fortunately, he went out to make a fuss, but he was promoted to four levels in a row.

Directly overtaking Liu Zheng, who was originally one level ahead, became the doctor of the Ministry of Rites of the fifth rank.

The two of them couldn't help but admire it, but they admired it more.

After all, compared to the two of them, Feng Yibo was actually rewarded for his meritorious service.

When the wine was intoxicating and the people were hot, Liu Zheng said with a smile through the drunkenness:
"Yibo, you haven't been in the capital for the past six months. If this continues, Brother Wei will catch up with you!"

Feng Yibo took half a year's leave and disappeared in the capital.

Their subject is supported by two people.

Now the two are only one level behind, and they may catch up at any time.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Feng Yibo put down his wine glass,

He heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, he was only surprised for a moment, then smiled and said:
"It seems that brother Haoran is going to be promoted again?"

"The word 'you' is wonderful!"

Yang Mingxin shook his head at the side, already a little drunk, and said in his mouth:
"Hao Ran rides the wind in one day, and Qing Yun jumps three levels straight up!"

After reciting, he sighed enviously:
"Since Zhang Ge talked with Haoran a few times, he has really risen to the top, which is really enviable!"

Of course, Feng Yibo also heard about it.

Everyone has their own choices and their own circumstances.

The chief examiner for their subject is Zhang Songyue.

Liu Zheng relied on his teacher, and no one could tell what was wrong.

Hearing Yang Mingxin's slightly sour words, Liu Zheng just smiled and said:
"Although Brother Xinmin has the smallest rank among the three of us, isn't he promoted two ranks in a row, far surpassing his peers?"

Although the words were correct, Yang Mingxin shook his head and said:

"My cousin is an admiral after all, and he has some connections with various nobles, so he can talk a little bit."

"But I can advance two levels in a row, which is already the limit, and then I will rely on myself."

The implication is that before relying on family background.

Further up, it depends on ability.

Feng Yibo could hear his disappointment, raised his glass and comforted him:
"Brother Xinmin has already relied on himself. If you didn't have the second place in the list, even if your family is the Duke of the State, you would not be able to serve as a servant of the Imperial Academy."

Fortunately, Jia's family is not here, otherwise I will die of anger.

Although the Jia family came from the Duke's Mansion, they were all yin officials or donated officials.

There is only one Jinshi in the two governments, and he has become an official and a monk.

Yang Mingxin obviously knew about this situation, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Yibo has been getting close to Rongfu recently. He thought he was climbing a high branch, but he didn't think he was just an ordinary relative?"

Feng Yibo can say such words, and Yang Mingxin understands them as soon as he hears them.

This is no clinging, just ordinary communication.

Otherwise, if the word spread today, he would lose his benefactor.

Liu Zhengzi also understood, and shook his head with a smile when he heard the words.

He also commented without hesitation: "Although one family and two countries are public, it has already started to go downhill. Yibo has done a good job."

As he and Zhang Song got closer, he didn't like these people.

Even, to some extent, they despise these nobles who have a lot of wine bags and food bags.

"If there is no one to carry the tripod in this generation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain two generations with only the shadow of the ancestors."

In his eyes, Jia's mansion is like a castle in the air.

The foundation is empty.

"Isn't Yibo the one who carries the tripod?"

Yang Mingxin joked casually, and couldn't help himself, saying:
"It depends on whether he is willing to carry these two big cauldrons! Hahaha!"

Feng Yibo naturally shook his head again and again, saying:
"Both of my marriages have some connections with the Jia family, but they are outsiders after all, so even if I take the lead, it's not my turn."

The implication is that because they are relatives, they can move around.

It is also necessary to establish some relationship networks through this.

But he has no intention of clinging.

Getting promoted and getting rich all depend on oneself.

Even if Jia's mansion is in decline, he cannot be implicated.

Those who can carry the tripod do not have this obligation.

The one who should carry the tripod does not have this ability.

It can only be said that the Jia family is in decline.

Of course, it's not like there's no turning point.

At this moment, in the Feng residence, there was a child of the Jia family.

Immersed in the scriptures, it is difficult to extricate myself.

If there is someone in Jia's mansion who can carry the tripod, it may be that he has some good looks.

It's a pity that Jia's mansion is muddling along, and no one pays attention to these things.

Li Shouzhong is a great Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, with extremely profound knowledge.

He has also worked in the Guozijian Jijiu for more than ten years, and his experience in teaching and educating people is extremely rich.

At this time, what he explained was simply:

Brilliant and fascinating.

Of course, these are Jalan's feelings.

And Jia Baoyu, who came with him, has long been impatient to listen.

Looking for an excuse, he ran to the back house, hoping to play with Daiyu.

The maid at the door couldn't stop him and let him break into the main room.

When the You sisters knew that Daiyu was coming, they also came to serve her.

A man broke into him suddenly, but he couldn't avoid it.

It was a little embarrassing for a while.

Fortunately, although he is a man, he is full of makeup.

With braids and decorations all over his body, it is obvious that he is still a child who has not grown up.

As soon as he came in, he greeted Li Mengshi, Li Wan and others.

Just didn't expect it.

After Baoyu saw the ceremony, he also caught the embarrassed Youshi sisters.

The appearance of the two sisters is the same

Baoyu, the face control, looked at it and stood there in a daze.

When the two of them came to see the ceremony, as soon as they reported their family name, they felt wrong.

Baoyu was a little rude when he looked at the two foolishly.

Knowing the identities of the two, he couldn't help sighing quietly, and said in his mouth:
"It's a pity that such two characters are buried here."

Where is not buried?
In your room?

At this time, these words are close to teasing!
When the two sisters heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

Seeing this, Li Wan hurriedly said:
"Brother Bao, don't talk nonsense. Although the Feng family is a real relative, don't lose your sense of proportion!"

Li Wan would never say such a thing if he was in Jia's mansion.

Even if she is the elder sister-in-law, she has the qualifications.

But Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wang dote very much, but it's not her turn to take care of them.

It's just that this is her natal family after all, so naturally she can't just watch Baoyu talking nonsense.

Although she reprimanded her like this, it actually meant protection.

If you keep silent, you will lose face to the Jia family even more.

When the Youshi sisters and Feng Yibo file a complaint, she might be ashamed to come back.

After all, Baoyu was brought by her.

If he doesn't speak, he won't have the face to see Feng Yibo in the future.

Daiyu on the side was also extremely dissatisfied when she heard this, and she directly took the attitude of being a housewife.

Feng Yibo was not around, so she protected the two sisters, saying:
"Second brother, if you are like this, please go back, don't bury you here again."

Baoyu knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he was a little embarrassed at this time.

Hearing that the two were attacking one after another, he quickly confessed:

"Don't, don't, I just fell into a dementia, please forgive my sister-in-law and sister, don't bother with me, an idiot."

Since Daiyu came back from the south of the Yangtze River, her description is better than before.

Although she looked a little timid, she was not as ill as before.

It turns out.

Whether Xizi is beautiful or not has nothing to do with whether she is sick or not.

After coming back this time, Daiyu's face became a little more healthy and rosy.

From a sick Xizi, it has evolved into a sports Xizi.

The charm is more than ever.

From time to time, I lead the sisters to jump up and down, or pose.

Full of healthy vitality.

Every time Baoyu wanted to participate, he was turned away.

This made this color control even more irresistible.

From time to time, I go to Daiyu's place to eat, but I still enjoy it.

Daiyu couldn't bear to be disturbed by it, but the elders just regarded it as a child's play.

This time I learned that sister-in-law Zhu took Jia Lan to visit her parents in Feng's residence.

Daiyu also asked Jiamu immediately to come with her.

Unexpectedly, Baoyu insisted on following after hearing about it.

Jia's mother said that he would go and see it.

The three Tanhuas gathered together, presumably the spirit of Wenhua could not be concealed.

It's also good to let Baoyu follow her to get some literary spirit.

Unexpectedly, when he came here, the literary spirit could not penetrate him
But he became crazy in the back house.

"Second elder brother is not too young. It's okay to stay in the mansion, but he went to other places to break into the back house. How can it be decent to talk about it?"

One is to trouble the past, so Daiyu makes use of it.

The second is to protect the You family sisters and show no mercy to Baoyu.

"This is the Feng family. If you change to another family, I'm afraid you will be kicked out."

After successive attacks, Baoyu's face turned green and red.

"Okay, okay, he's still a child, it's normal that he doesn't matter."

Li Mengshi remained calm and listened for a while.

At this time, seeing Baoyu's face was ugly, he spoke to protect each other.

He smiled again and said, "Come, come, come to my side."

Baoyu has been stunned by Daiyu's rapid-fire talk, and doesn't know how to move when he hears it.

At this moment, Feng Yibo came in.

He came back from Zhuangyuan Building, feeling a little drunk.

But when he heard that Li Wan and Daiyu were coming, he thought of coming over to say hello.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard that Daiyu was not letting go, and she spoke plausibly.

Just as the servant girl was about to greet her, he hurriedly raised his hand to stop her, and quietly entered the outer room.

"On weekdays in Rong Mansion, I naturally love you, but if you come out, who cares who you are?"

Daiyu's firepower is fully fired, and Baoyu has no power to parry what Baoyu said.

"As the saying goes: the most precious is the treasure, and the most firm is the jade."

"Your name is Baoyu, but in the eyes of others, how precious and strong is your behavior?"

When Baoyu heard the words, he faltered and wanted to respond.

But he couldn't answer for a while.

Daiyu suddenly saw Feng Yibo coming in, she quickly suppressed the conversation and said nothing more.

She didn't want to leave an impression of being "reasonable and unforgiving" in front of Feng Yibo.

I don't want Feng Yibo to come in and hear the last few sentences.

Although I don't know the reason, I know that Baoyu must have offended Daiyu.

After greeting each other, they heard the sisters from the You family come over and whisper their ears.

After briefly understanding the process, he greeted:
"Brother Baoyu rarely comes here, and it's not easy to welcome him from afar."

"Don't dare."

Baoyu bowed his hands, even if he did his best.

Feng Yibo didn't care about him either, he just asked with a smile:

"Brother Baoyu has been called by his name all the time. I don't know if there is a nickname?"

Baoyu is depressed and has no patience to talk to him.

But thinking that it is the Feng Mansion after all, he honestly shook his head and said:
"No words."

"Then I'll borrow the words of Sister Lin and give Brother Baoyu the word."

Feng Yibo naturally knew that he didn't have a sign, but that's what he was waiting for.

He pretended to ponder for a moment before continuing:

"Mo Ruo'baby' is the most appropriate word for Brother Baoyu!"

He had heard that Baoyu randomly chose characters for Daiyu.

What a "frowning".

Not a serious word, more like a nickname.

As long as Daiyu shows a little sadness, the sisters in the house will use it to make things narrower.

So today he also used a joke to send the other party a similar word.

With Daiyu's intelligence, she naturally thought of the reason when she heard it.

Knowing that the future husband was venting his anger for himself, he blushed a little.

But at this time, it is necessary to take the opportunity to sit down, she suppressed a smile and asked:

"I don't know if there is a source?"

Baoyu was a little confused when he heard the word "baby".

Before he could react, Feng Yibo responded with a smile:

"It's what my sister said just now: the most precious is the treasure, and the most firm is the jade."

"It's a foolish thought that the most precious thing is sincerity, and the most tenacious thing is will."

Having said that, he looked at Baoyu with a straight face and said:

"Brother Baoyu has no sincerity towards people, but no will to study, so they are treasures, not jade."

"And Brother Baoyu has so much sincerity..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and immediately laughed loudly and said:

"Why don't we just call it 'baby' from now on! Hahahaha!"

Baoyu's face turned ashen when he heard this.

He already understood Feng Yibo's mockery.

It's a pity that there are no elders to rely on, and it's in Feng's residence.

For a moment, he didn't dare to turn his face.

"Sure enough!"

Daiyu clapped her hands at this moment, and praised again:

"I usually call him Second Lord Bao, and the word "Bao" is just affixed with your title!"

Baoyu didn't dare to turn against Feng Yibo, so he could only speak anxiously to Daiyu:

"Sister, don't listen to Brother Feng's nonsense, how can such words be spoken?"

Daiyu's face immediately turned cold, she squinted at him and said:
"Hmph! You know you can't say it, so the word 'twinkle' is good?"

"Ah, this...of course it's good..."

Baoyu's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally became inaudible.

Only then did he understand that the two of them were one family after all.

Feng Yibo is trying to get angry at Daiyu!
I thought it was an elegant word, but I didn't expect Sister Lin to be stuck in her throat.

Thinking of this, Baoyu suddenly felt discouraged.

But he was cowardly by nature, and he didn't dare to attack in Feng's residence.

I had no choice but to turn around silently and summon a group of maidservants.

Without waiting for Li Wan and Daiyu, they returned home directly.

When he arrived at the mansion, he went through the hall to transfer, and went straight back to the house.

Xiren was working in the house. When he saw him coming back with a disheveled face, he went up to him and asked:

"Didn't the second master go to Feng's mansion, why did he come back by himself?"

Baoyu was so depressed that he couldn't bear it. As soon as he entered the door, he was asked by the attacker.

He had nowhere to vent in his heart for a moment, he just kicked Xiren's stomach.

This side kick hit the ribs.

Xiren groaned, clutching his stomach in pain and fell to the ground.

Baoyu was annoyed at first, but wanted to curse a few more words to vent his anger.

But when he lowered his head and saw that Xiren was kicked and cried by him, he immediately softened up.

With a smile, he stepped forward to help, and then found an excuse and said:
"I don't know it's you, but where is it?"
