Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 180 Three Family Rules, Get Your New Home Ready [Super Large Cup]

Feng Yibo has always wanted to find an opportunity to go to Liuqiu himself.

Although there are ships transporting timber, reports are received almost every month.

Moreover, in this year, due to the construction of family-friendly villas, the demand for wood in Duzhong has increased significantly.

Feng Yibo can even receive more than two reports every month.

Occasionally, Gouzi would come to the mansion to present something important.

But even so, he still wanted to go and see for himself.

Because of many things, after all, you have to visit the scene to understand.

Only in this way can we truly make decisions tailored to local conditions,

Otherwise, it is easy to talk on paper.

Now Keqing is already showing signs of fatigue, a little overwhelmed.

Otherwise, she wouldn't take the initiative to ask Wang Xifeng for help.

If he can pass, at least some adjustments and amendments can be made to the management system.

Avoid meaningless hands-on, so that Keqing's chores will be reduced.

Of course, if Keqing wants to be like Feng Yibo, be a hands-off shopkeeper.

That's still unlikely.

Feng Yibo made too many arrangements in order to be the hands-off shopkeeper.

Not only do we use our own people as much as possible in the employment, but we also do a lot of balancing.

Everything is just to prevent the passing of time and prevent any one party from dominating.

At the same time, it took a lot of effort to develop the timber business in the capital.

Allow him to remotely control Liuqiu in the capital and control the general direction of development.

It will not cause overseas to lose control due to poor communication.

He won't intervene in daily chores, but major matters must have Feng Yibo's approval.

Of course, overseas principals definitely have the right to act arbitrarily.

But after the arbitrariness, it is also necessary to explain the reason to Feng Yibo.

It is by this management method.

Our Black Dragon King can "sit at home and firmly hold the power".

And these measures were formulated in combination with his actual situation.

So what about the actual situation overseas?

He can only get a glimpse of it from the daily reports of Keqing, Gouzi and others.

Although Liuqiu has the current scale, it is still developing well.

But after all, it is controlled across the sea, and many places are still not precise enough.

It's a pity that Feng Yibo really couldn't get away from the capital.

If you ask for a long vacation, there is no good excuse not to say it, and it will easily affect your career.

After all, he became an official at the fifth rank at a young age.

At this time, except for Ding You and others, other long vacations are equivalent to staying without pay.

A bright future is not such a squandering.

If it is released to Minyue, it will be more convenient to control.

But he had already let go of the Japanese in the south of the Yangtze River before.

There is no need to release it for nothing in order to seek local experience.

What Feng Yibo should do now is to earn his qualifications in the ministry.

At his age, as long as he plays steadily.

In the future, it is not that there is no chance of ascending the court to pay homage to the prime minister.

Even if he remains motionless, no one knows how many people are envious and jealous!
If you act rashly, it is easy to be attacked by all parties.

That's really not worth the candle.

In the long run, if he develops well in North Korea and China, he can better feed back overseas.

Corresponding convenience and even shelter to a certain extent can be provided.

In addition, he has now arranged two marriages, and has taken in three concubines.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is impossible for Feng Yibo to abandon his great future here, as well as his beautiful wife and concubine.

Even if the overseas development is good, there is a possibility that the frontiers will be closed.

It's also not worth his risk to fight once.

Because he will not go there for the time being, overseas development will only be a little slower.

There are still opportunities in the future.

Therefore, overseas affairs are still pending.

If there is a chance, Feng Yibo will go and have a look.

Without a chance, he grasped the general direction behind.

Leave the rest to the four over there to deal with.

Gouzi left here, and Feng Yibo returned to Miaoyu's side.

For the two newlyweds, even with Miaoyu's glamorous beauty, it is inevitable that they will be a little entangled.

In this way, Feng Yibo stayed with Miaoyu for half a month.

Do everything you can to cultivate the relationship.

And Miaoyu almost never goes out of the house except for morning and evening.

Of course, not because of anything else.

I'm afraid that the sisters of the You family will laugh it off.

Half a month later, Miaoyu's novice protection period was over.

In order to avoid favoritism, Feng Yibo called the You family sisters.

When the three of them arrived at one place, they began to arrange shifts.

Originally, there were only the You family sisters, and the two did not fight or rob.

They also serve together from time to time.

Now that Miaoyu is here, it is natural to be fair and open.

This class is very easy to arrange, it is nothing more than a cycle of seven days.

Finally, add three rules:

First, one room for one day, back and forth rotation.

This is the most basic fairness.

The You sisters looked at each other, and they both understood each other's intentions.

Second, spend one day alone every six days.

No matter how beautiful the wives and concubines are, men will inevitably want to have a clean place.

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing else, mainly because of tiredness.

Even if you go to work and take one off every six days, it is already the limit.

If you still feel tired in the future, you may have to do a big and small week.

If you can't stand it any longer, then take a double break.

Third, special circumstances, direct rotation.

This was naturally requested by the You sisters.

Avoid special situations and waste opportunities for nothing.

The two sisters are now racing against time, wanting to be the first to conceive an heir.

Only in this way can the position be stabilized.

Even if the two sisters are pregnant with one, it can be regarded as a solution to their worries.

These three rules, the three women have no objection.

Feng Yibo immediately announced that it will come into force immediately.

The house rules were set here, and the three girls left hand in hand.

Go to the back and talk to Li Mengshi together.

And Feng Yibo began to study the matter of moving to a new house.

He asked someone to invite Li Shouzhong to meet him in the study.

When Li Shouzhong arrived, he quickly got up to greet him.

After the two sat down, Feng Yibo smiled and said:
"Master, the house at the north gate is almost finished, the only difference is that the garden behind has not yet been planted with flowers and trees."

Li Shouzhong had been there once before and knew that it occupied a large area.

Slightly surprised by this construction speed, he said in doubt:
"Oh? It's going to be completed so soon?"

After being surprised, Li Shouzhong didn't continue to struggle.

Before Feng Yibo could speak, he smiled and asked again:
"That is to say, when the flowers and trees are planted in spring, you can welcome Miss Xue's family to come over?"

Feng Yibo was taken aback when he asked this question.

He originally wanted to lay the groundwork, so he planned to invite Li Shouzhong to move in with him and continue to live together.

Unexpectedly, when mentioning the completion of the new house, Li Shouzhong thought of welcoming the relatives.

This was naturally because Li Shouzhong knew that the Xue family had come to the capital.

It stands to reason that Xue and Feng's family should have discussed marriage long ago.

But he never heard Feng Yibo mention it.

The Youshi sisters entered the door for a long time, but there was no movement at all.

Li Shouzhong and his wife have been worried about Feng Yibo's heirs.

Speaking of the new house today, I took the opportunity to ask about it.

Feng Yibo was stunned for a moment, thinking that Li Shouzhong was asking about the Xue family's marriage, so he shook his head and said:

"Although the Xue family said to the outside world that they came to Duzhong to give off a marriage, but in fact they only wanted to help the second wife of the Xue family get some connections."

It doesn't need to be said by Feng Yibo, Li Shouzhong has heard of it.

After Jia Zheng wrote a letter to protect Mei Hanlin, he also invited his old relatives to help.

Naturally, Li Shouzhong, the father-in-law, would not be missed.

But Li Shouzhong is upright, but not a fool.

Naturally, he would not agree to such a request.

He didn't even write a pen, he just sent a message back.

Said that he would not participate in the struggle between old and new parties.

For Li Shouzhong, this is a reminder to take great risks.

It's a pity that even if it's all on the bright side,
Jia Zheng still couldn't understand.

He only felt that what he was protecting was a real relative, and he didn't participate in any party struggle.

Consciously innocent.

Of course, Jia Zheng is humble and kind.

Although I don't understand, I don't force it.

After all, he has entrusted many people, but there are very few people who have submitted the book.

Not bad for Li Shouzhong.

Li Shouzhong frowned when Feng Yibo mentioned this matter.

But he had nothing to say about this in-law.

He shook his head at the moment and said:

"Anyway, the eldest son of the Xue family has also won."

Bypassing the matter of Xue's second bedroom, he continued to ask:

"You didn't discuss marriage with them?"

Before Feng Yibo could speak, he said again:

"I remember that there was only one mother in their family, nothing else."

"If it's inconvenient for me to come to the door, let your teacher go over and discuss it."

As soon as Feng Yibo heard it, he knew that Li Shouzhong had misunderstood, so he quickly waved his hands and said:

"You don't need to work on your mentor and wife, in fact, Mr. Xue has already mentioned it to me once."

Having said that, he paused for a moment before saying:

"It's just that I haven't figured it out yet, so I reasoned that the house has not been completed yet, so I didn't give a specific answer."

Li Shouzhong was taken aback when he heard this.

You're already engaged, and the other party is coming to marry you off, why do you hesitate?

This is still a marriage bestowed by the emperor, do you still want to retire?
He couldn't figure it out, and immediately frowned and asked:
"Why is this?"

Feng Yibo blushed when he heard the question.

She smiled a little embarrassedly, and then replied hesitantly:

"After the new year, Miss Xue's family is only fifteen, but she is no more than a general."

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo showed embarrassment:

"That's why I hesitated, whether it would be better to wait another year."

Good guy!
Li Shouzhong suddenly realized.

After going on for a long time, does this kid think the girl from the Xue family is too young?

"Book of Rites" has a cloud: Ten out of five years.

That is to say, girls have to change their hairstyles at the age of 15.

Pull up your hair and plug it with something, which means you are an adult.

This thing is ji.

Similar to men's Jiguan, it is also called Jiji.

And Jiangji refers to those who have reached the age of fourteen and have not reached the age of fifteen.

Feng Yibo has Baochai's Geng Tie in his hand, so it is natural to count his age.

Baochai is fifteen years old, but that's...

"Fifteen years old?"

When Li Shouzhong heard about Jiangji, he frowned slightly.

Seeing Feng Yibo's expression again, he said angrily:

"It's only a year away, let alone marrying a woman and wearing a hairpin!"

As long as you get married, you can change your hairstyle.

But what Feng Yibo was struggling with wasn't the hairstyle!

"It's not that you just got engaged, it's been almost two years, and sooner or later you will be welcomed."

Li Shouzhong saw that Feng Yibo was hesitant, so he persuaded him, and said:

"Besides, you will be twenty during Chinese New Year, so I don't think you should wait any longer."

This twenty is also an imaginary age, but it is considered a late marriage in Da Wei.

Although Feng Yibo has already taken in the sisters from the You family, there is still Miaoyu who just came in.

But those are all concubines.

Strictly speaking, Feng Yibo is still an older young man who is single and unmarried.

"The Xue family girl has also reached her age, and it's time to welcome her here."

Not to mention the false age of fifteen, even if it is thirteen or four, there are many people who get married.

The dignitaries are slightly better off.

Even if they are engaged, they will usually stay for a few more years and educate them well.

But it's no problem to pass through the door.

It's okay to pass the hairpin through the door, but Feng Yibo has a problem.

Fourteen years old is already a big girl for this era.

But for Feng Yibo, there are still psychological obstacles.

He really couldn't get past the threshold in his heart.

"Anyway, since the three of them, the mother and the son, are all going to see off their relatives, I think we should welcome her as soon as possible."

Li Shouzhong persuaded him carefully, and finally said:
"Otherwise, if there is any gossip, it will be bad to say."

These words made Feng Yibo fall into deep thought.

If someone sees off the relatives, but no one picks them up.

It is inevitable that someone will gossip.

For example, he wants to regret his relatives.

Whenever he hesitated, such gossip would spread.

Even though the two families of the Xue family are using this excuse, everyone knows how old Bao Qin is.

Naturally understand that is an excuse.

But Baochai is old enough, if she doesn't welcome her, there will be gossip.

Feng Yibo thought about this age before, but he didn't think about it.

However, it is not impossible to welcome back first.

It happens to cultivate feelings first.

Having figured this out, Feng Yibo immediately cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you for your teacher's teaching, I understand."

After pondering for a while, he said:
"After I discuss with Xue's family and Kaichun repairs the garden, I will welcome her in."

"That's good!"

Seeing that he was the same, Li Shouzhong nodded in satisfaction, and said:
"Let your mistress discuss with Madam Xue, so that you can take care of it for me."

"Teacher, this matter is not urgent, we have to wait until spring."

Feng Yibo waved his hands when he heard the words, and said with a smile:
"I have something to do now that needs to be done years ago."

"Oh?"

Li Shouzhong showed doubts and asked:

"What else?"

You're already in your twenties, so what's the rush to get married?
Does he still want to take a few more concubines before getting married?
Li Shou pondered in the center if there were any suitable candidates.

How about finding a concubine in the Li family?
"Although there are no flowers or grass in the garden over there, the mansion in front has already been built."

Feng Yibo didn't know what Li Shouzhong was thinking, so he smiled at him and said:
"I thought, we moved there years ago."

Li Shouzhong was thinking about whether there was a suitable candidate for the Li family.

Hearing this and reacting, he realized that Feng Yibo was inviting him to live with him.

"That's what happened!"

Li Shouzhong was stunned, and then he waved his hands and said:
"You can move there, your wife and I will live here."

Obviously, he had thought about this a long time ago, so he could directly refuse.

He smiled again and said: "The two sides are not far away, and it is convenient to travel on weekdays."

Feng Yibo didn't agree when he heard the words, he immediately said:
"Teacher, if you and Mistress don't go, then I won't go either."

These words came from the heart, so Li Shouzhong naturally understood.

"Don't be silly, if you hadn't built a new house, your mistress and I would have moved out long ago."

Li Shouzhong smiled gratifiedly, told the truth, waved his hands again, and persuaded:

"You're not a child either, and you're about to start a family when you move there. It won't be a problem for me and your mistress to follow."

The old couple discussed moving out more than once,

After all, Feng Yibo is not his son.

However, Feng Yibo repeatedly persuaded him to stay, and later built a new house.

After discussing with each other, the old couple decided to stay.

They wanted to buy this place when Feng Yibo went to the new house.

"Teacher, I lost both my parents since I was a child, and now I finally have a mentor and a teacher's wife, so that I can experience the feeling of home."

Feng Yibo immediately launched an emotional offensive, and said sincerely:

"I built that mansion not only for the big wedding, but also for the retirement of my mentor and wife."

"If you and my wife don't go, then I won't go there either, just get married in this courtyard!"

Seeing Feng Yibo like a child losing his temper, Li Shouzhong couldn't laugh or cry.

"I know your filial piety, but our master and apprentice are too close, which is not beneficial to your official career."

Having said that, after a pause, Li Shouzhong said word by word:

"If I join the cabinet, I will be too close to avoid suspicion."

This is not bragging.

He has been promoted to Minister of Rites, and he is only one step away from entering the cabinet.

As long as someone in the cabinet takes office, it will be his turn if nothing unexpected happens.

The so-called avoidance of suspicion naturally means not to promote Feng Yibo blatantly.

At least keep a little distance, so that when you are promoted, you will not lose your mouth.

"If something happens to me, I'll be implicated if I'm too close."

In the past two years, the central government and the party have been attacking dissidents, and it may not be his turn at any time.

Especially in his position, he will ascend to the pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister.

The most eye-catching.

If it wasn't for his great prestige in the south of the Yangtze River and the support of Emperor Longqing.

In addition, they maintained a certain degree of tacit understanding with Zhang Songyue.

I'm afraid he was criticized and stepped down long ago.

"Master, you think too much."

Li Shouzhong expressed his worries, but Feng Yibo waved his hands indifferently.

"Based on our relationship, we have long been bound to one place, and one is prosperous and the other is damaged."

"Whether you live in a mansion or not, it's the same."

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo couldn't help but smile, and asked:

"Who can think that we can't break up just because we live apart?"

"Ugh!"

Li Shouzhong was silent for a while, and finally sighed.

With a tinge of reproach, but also a tinge of relief, he said:
"You~!"

The Feng Mansion persuaded Li Shouzhong and his wife to move to a new house.

The family-speaking villa in Rongfu has also been repaired, and only some minor finishing work is left.

Don't look at the remaining trifles.

People come and go, shuttle non-stop.

The few people in charge were too busy.

After a while, someone reported that Sha Ling, who was pasting things, was waiting for the project.

Ask Li Wan to open the warehouse.

After a while, someone came to report again, asking someone to check and accept the gold and silver utensils.

Tanchun took people over to count.

Because of the absence of Sister Feng, Li Wan and Tanchun are the first palms again.

For three or five things, just turn around with a few people.

Baochai is an outsider, so it is not easy to intervene too much.

Only help check at key points.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang could only go to battle in person.

Even the maids in the upper room are busy.

It was not until the end of October that everything was ready.

After that, all the supervisors will pay their accounts.

Antiques and cultural toys are all displayed everywhere.

Those who buy birds, from cranes, deer, rabbits, chickens, geese, etc., have also bought all.

Hand it over to raise everywhere in the garden.

Jia Qiang also asked the troupe to practice twenty or thirty miscellaneous plays.

A group of young nuns and Taoist nuns who bought them also learned to chant Buddhist scriptures.

When the report arrived at Jia Zheng's side, he invited Mrs. Shi to come to the garden to discuss it together.

Jia Zheng didn't dare to inscribe the book until there were no more slight discrepancies.

The playbook was only published, and I got a reply on the same day.

According to the decree, it will be on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year.

That is, on the day of Shangyuan, the imperial concubine returned to the mansion to visit her relatives.

　Thank you for your monthly ticket support!Thanks!
