Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 168 Shocking overseas anecdote
As we all know, alcohol consumption is a thing.

It has always been mysterious.

When you are in a good mood, don't say that you won't get drunk if you drink a thousand cups.

At least the more you drink, the more energetic you become.

But when you're in a bad mood, it's just drinking that makes you sad.

He even started to find drinks by himself.

What they drink is bitter wine and dull wine, and they are the easiest to get drunk.

"Alcohol is not intoxicating, everyone gets drunk", most of the people say this is the case.

Jia Lian is like this today.

While he was telling Feng Yibo what happened, the two of them had already gone down for a few pots of wine.

Alcohol already welling up.

What he said earlier that he wanted to kill Wang Xifeng was obviously drunk.

Can't be true.

But even if he was already drunk, when he heard about the Wang family,
Jia Lian was shocked and a little sober.

Or rather, even drunk.

Jia Lian also knew that the Wang family could not afford to offend.

If it weren't for the support of a noble concubine from the Jia family, the power of the family would have long been inferior to that of the Wang family.

Wang Ziteng has been in full swing for the past two years.

It even faintly surpassed these old honors and became a unique existence.

Not to mention him, even his father Jia She.

In other words, the two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia were added together.

At this stage, I dare not be straightforward.

Two women from the royal family can firmly control the Rong Mansion.

There must be means.

But it is also inseparable from the rise of her natal family behind her.

It is said that wine is strong and cowardly.

But Jia Lian was drunk and didn't have the guts to offend the Wang family.

He dared to propose harmony because of a single word.

Except that Guerlain's death made him burst into anger and his blood surged up.

It may also be a gesture.

Let everyone in Rongfu know his situation.

At least if he messes around again, no one will say anything wrong with him.

But even though he was forced to this situation, Jia Lian never mentioned divorce.

Even when Wang Xifeng brought it up, he didn't dare to respond.

This is because he can't impress the face of the Wang family.

If it is said that reconciliation is a negotiation between the two parties and a consensus is reached.

Divorcing his wife is a unilateral decision, and it comes with a condemnation of the woman.

As the most capable man in the Jia family, it is natural to consider the face of the two families.

In other words, before he wanted to divorce his wife and slap his face, he might have to be beaten to death by Jia Amnesty first.

Feng Yibo didn't notice Jia Lian's ashamed look at all.

Speaking of the Wang family, he was afraid that Jia Lian would not understand the affairs of the court, so he sighed:
"Your uncle is in the court, and there are performances every week, and meritorious service every month."

These words are somewhat sour.

After all, he also made meritorious service at the beginning.

The maximum number of enemies wiped out at one time is more than Wang Ziteng's two years combined.

But in terms of credit, everyone thinks that Wang Ziteng is bigger.

Because in the eyes of most people.

The contribution of the frontier is greater than that of the interior.

Although the Japanese pirates have caused serious disasters, they only harm one side.

Therefore, in the eyes of the big bosses in the court, it is just a disease of infirmity.

Basically the same as bandits.

But the Tartars in the frontier are the elite in all battles.

If it is not handled well, the country will be in trouble.

The two cannot be compared in the same breath.

Feng Yibo also understood this truth, but he didn't agree with it in his heart.

It's just that after all, he was promoted several ranks by virtue of this official, so naturally he wouldn't find anything uncomfortable.

"The new party and the old party, together with Xungui, I'm afraid no one will touch his bad luck."

Hearing Feng Yibo's words, the light in Jia Lian's paralyzed eyes became even darker, and he muttered:

"Yes! You are also afraid, and we are all afraid."

While eating melon, push a cup to change a cup.

Before he knew it, Feng Yibo had already gotten a little over the top.

The question was immediately dissatisfied, and said:

"I'm afraid of her? Heh!"

He sneered disdainfully, and boasted smoothly.

Or say "spit the truth after drinking", said:
"Believe it or not, I will make her disappear in minutes?"

Jia Lian had sobered up a little before, and his eyes were no longer blurred.

But at this time, he added another layer of confusion and asked:

"What do you mean by minutes?"

"While talking and laughing, the mast and scull were wiped out! Have you heard this sentence?"

Feng Yibo has a bit of a big tongue, he can't speak very clearly,
He straightened his tongue again, and said: "It's similar to this 'Talking and Laughing Room', it will kill her in minutes."

Jia Lian still didn't understand, she frowned and remained silent for a while.

Feng Yibo started asking him to drink.

He kept this matter in his heart and planned to ask again when he sobered up.

Is there really any way to tell?

After all, he, Feng Yibo, has great powers.

It is impossible to know any desperadoes.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian's spirit of drinking came up again.

Then the two chatted a lot of gossip.

Sometimes bragging, sometimes lamenting.

Sometimes weep bitterly, sometimes sing loudly.

The two drank again for an unknown amount of time, and it was already the next day when they woke up.

Feng Yibo was awakened by his long follower, Dabo.

Didn't expect to have a drink with Jia Lian all night?
What did you say yesterday?
It seems that Jia Lian said to kill Wang Xifeng?

Forget it, he must be bragging.

If he dared to kill, he could still give him a high look.

At that time, no matter what, save him.

The big deal is to take him overseas for development.

Feng Yibo sighed, and hurried into the carriage.

He rubbed his sore temples and squinted for a while.

When I got to the mansion, I only drank a bowl of hangover soup.

So I changed into court clothes and went to work in the ministry.

What Feng Yibo didn't know was.

In the following days, although Jia Lian did not make peace with Wang Xifeng again.

But it started to take the path of cold violence.

Even if he had to take care of the relatives' villa from time to time, Jia Lian seldom went back to his and Wang Xifeng's small courtyard.

Don't go back at night.

Or it's sleeping flowers and sleeping willows, anyway, Guerlain doesn't need to spend the money.

Or just stay here in Xiaohuazhi Lane to rest.

He even drew all his confidants to Xiaohuazhi Lane.

Simply live and work here.

Wang Xifeng sent someone to look for him, and the answers he got were all polite.

To sum it up, just one word.

busy.

Wang Xifeng is also good-faced.

After being called twice, it was never mentioned again.

It seems that only Jia Lian does not exist.

During the day, what should she do.

Even busier than Jia Lian.

Not only do you have to deal with the chores in the mansion, but you also have to go around the back houses of the nobles.

When Feng Yibo, Jia Zhen, and Feng Ziying went to the gathering in Xiaohuazhi Lane.

Jia Lian only learned about it from Feng Yibo's accounts.

During this period, Wang Xifeng's performance.

It's actually much taller than him and Jia Zhenjia together!

Although there was an early stage, the reason why all the governments gave face.

But compared to the early days of the two, they were still much higher.

This is how Wang Xifeng called Jia Lian.

Slap in the face.

Are you busy?
What are you busy with?
It's a deal here, right?

The old lady walked around casually while dealing with chores in the house.

Much stronger than you too!

Such a situation made Jia Lian as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

But in my heart, I had to admit that Wang Xifeng was amazing.

With Jia Zhen at the side, she remembered the past even more.

The Qin family is in charge of everything in the mansion.

When she died, there was no one to take care of the household chores.

There are more funerals to deal with.

Jia Zhen begged to go to Rongfu, the elder sister.

At that time, he borrowed people from Jiamu and Mrs. Wang.

Before that, the Ning Mansion was already in chaos.

After Wang Xifeng walked around in the past, he quickly sorted out the clues.

In the Ning Mansion, there are five things that need to be resolved.

The first is that the population is mixed and things are lost.

The second thing is that there is no single-mindedness in matters, and committee members are pushed before the deadline.

The third thing is that you need to spend too much money and claim it indiscriminately.

The fourth thing is that no matter how big or small, the pain and happiness are uneven.

The fifth thing is the indulgence of the family.

Those with face refuse to be restrained, and those without face cannot make progress.

These five pieces are actually the customs of Ningguo Mansion.

Not so easy to adjust.

Fortunately, Wang Xifeng's reputation spread far and wide.

As soon as the matter of her coming to take charge of the Ningguo Mansion was settled, Lai Sheng, the steward of the Ning Mansion, said:

"Now Lian's Second Mistress in the Xifu is invited to manage internal affairs. If she comes to collect things or speak, she should be careful and serve her."

The servants of the Ning Mansion were used to being careless at that time, so they didn't take it seriously.

"Everyone comes early and leaves late every day. I'd rather work hard for a month and rest later, don't throw away my old face."

This is still true.

However, most of the servants of Ning's mansion curled their lips.

It doesn't matter.

In the end Lai Sheng said: "That is a well-known hot guy, with a sour face and a hard heart, he was annoyed for a while, he didn't recognize anyone!"

Only then did the servants of the Ning Mansion remember Wang Xifeng's reputation, and they all expressed their cooperation for a while.

After that, as soon as Wang Xifeng took over, he immediately counted on the roster and distributed tasks.

Who, when, where, what to do.

While handing over and issuing, while picking up a pen to register.

Someone is in charge of a certain place, and someone is responsible for something, and it is also very clear.

She said all the ugly things first, and everyone responded with awe.

In just one morning, everyone in the Ning Mansion was smooth.

Everyone in the Ning Mansion accepted the mission and defected.

It's not like just picking the cheap ones first, and there's no one to recruit for the rest of the hard work.

Don't get lost in the chaos in each room.

Even when people come and go, they are all quiet.

It's no different than the previous one who was serving tea and then went to serve dinner.

I am accompanying the mourning, and I am picking up customers.

Disadvantages such as cluelessness, confusion, dodging, sneaking, stealing, etc. are all gone.

This incident left a deep impression on everyone in the entire family.

Jia Zhen, in particular, admired Wang Xifeng's ability to handle affairs extremely.

Listening to Wang Xifeng now, he is not only good at handling family affairs.

Even this business is overwhelming the Jia family's men.

Jia Zhen was overwhelmed with emotion for a moment, and exclaimed:
"Big sister is also a strong woman among real women!"

Although there is no word for strong woman at this time, strong man still has the meaning of strong man.

Jia Lian felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the words, and said stiffly:
"No matter how strong it is, it is a woman after all!"

So what if you say it tough?

Everyone can see that Jia Lian is strong on the outside but capable on the inside.

"Brother Zhen is talking about strong women among women, after all, they are a minority."

It was Feng Ziying who smoothed things over at this moment, and said:

"Besides, she is only involved in a little business. The real big thing, isn't it for us men to do it?"

Jia Zhen also realized that Wang Xifeng was not here.

Didn't I praise her for giving Jia Lian eye drops?
Hearing Feng Ziying's words, he immediately echoed:
"That's right! She can negotiate some business in the back house, and can she also bring in wood and stone?"

"Don't you want us men to take care of it?"

Seeing that Jia Lian's face improved, Jia Zhen said again:

"What's more, this Great Wei is not the country of Qianxiang women, and there is no custom of women in power!"

It is precisely because the king of Qianxiang Kingdom is a woman that he is widely known in Wei Dynasty.

Because it is strange.

But few people knew the location of Qianxiang Country.

Including Feng Yibo, they only know that they are overseas.

Because when paying tribute, it was done by him.

"Speaking of overseas women's countries, I have heard an anecdote."

When Feng Ziying heard Jia Zhen mention Qian Xiangguo, she said:

"It is said that in Liuqiu, there is a Fanzi King, who is the leader of the Overseas Shengfan."

Feng Yibo was taken aback by these words, not knowing what he was going to say.

Feng Ziying's news has always been well-informed, and it is not uncommon to know something about Liu Qiu.

Just talking about it at this moment, Feng Yibo inevitably frowned.

Guess he has other intentions.

"It is said that this King Zai is also a woman, born extremely majestic, comparable to no salt."

Speaking of this, Feng Ziying also made a gesture.

With a playful tone, it seems to say:
"But her husband-in-law is a scholar, Ruoliu is Fufeng! Hehehe!"

Speaking of the latter, he broke his merits first and laughed out loud.

"Hey hey hey!"

Both brothers Jia Zhen and Jia Lian showed understanding expressions.

At this moment, Feng Ziying saw Feng Yibo frowning and staring at him.

For a moment, I thought he hated these things, so I didn't continue to expand on this topic.

Instead, he continued to talk about overseas rumors, saying:
"It is said that there is another force in the Eastern Sea, and the leader is called the Black Dragon King."

As soon as the name came out, Feng Yibo's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that he knows his identity, is this hinting at himself?

He stared at Feng Ziying, but saw that there was nothing unusual about him, and he was still speaking with great interest.

"His power is huge, and it is said that in the East China Sea, he can say what he says."

Now he has hundreds of ships under his command and a combat force of more than 5.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the description of the sea is one and the same.

Feng Yibo has been paying attention to Feng Ziying's expression, and found that he seems to be only telling anecdotes.

"But this man seldom takes care of things. Everything is left to his wife, who is managed by Heilongpo."

"Black dragon mother?"

When Jia Zhen repeated it, Feng Yibo's heart tightened again.

"Black Dragon King and Black Dragon Lady are both nicknames. Those who hang around in the sea are the same as those in the mountains. They don't use their real names."

Feng Ziying explained casually, and Jia Zhen nodded suddenly.

Feng Yibo heaved a sigh of relief.

What happened to him today?
A little bit impatient by Feng Ziying?

"Oh, by the way, it is said that King Fanzai is also under the Black Dragon King."

Feng Ziying continued with a smile, and said:
"It can be seen that overseas is a land of barbarians after all, so there are occasional joys in which women are respected."

Having said that, Jia Lian's complexion has returned to normal.

Feng Ziying stopped talking, and finally said:

"Of course, I also heard it from hearsay, so everyone just listens for fun."

Boy, have I become a joker?
Feng Yibo was a little dissatisfied, but he would not refute.

Instead, he echoed: "The morning of the rooster is the only way to get home! The rooster wakes up in the morning, and the family is poor!"

These two sentences actually mean the same thing.

The previous sentence comes from the Book of Books, one of the Five Classics.

That is to say, only when the family is dilapidated and dilapidated to a certain extent will women be allowed to take power.

The latter is from "New Tang Book", which is said by Empress Changsun.

That is to say, if there are no men in the family, women will be allowed to take power.

"The Jia family doesn't have that role! When will a woman get a foreign affairs?"

Only then did Feng Yibo speak out to comfort Jia Lian, and said:
"Lien's second sister-in-law is just trying to be strong for a while, and sooner or later she will understand why the old saying goes, 'the man dominates the outside and the woman dominates the inside'."

Speaking of which, I seem to be in China, but Keqing is in charge of some affairs abroad.

Does this count as the male leading the inside and the female leading the outside?
"No matter how powerful she is, she is only weak. Without Second Brother Lian, she is nothing more than duckweed in the water."

Ability is strong, but physique is weak!
Feng Yibo can only help Jia Lian gain some confidence from this.

Otherwise, the ability is no match, what else can I do?
"Besides, there are two uncles in the Rong Mansion, as well as the second brother He Lian."

After a pause, he added:

"There are also Brother Baoyu, Brother Huan, and Lan'er further down."

It's not like all the little boys are thrown in Wa country.

"Hey, look, there are still a lot of men! It's never her turn to take care of things!"

　September [-], don't forget the national humiliation!
