Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 201 Different reactions, envy, jealousy and hatred

When Feng Yibo went down to court, he walked very slowly.

Not because of anything else, just afraid of walking too fast.

It will be a little floating!

Maybe the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty would think that it was because of his great achievements that he was promoted to an official position.

Therefore, even if you can't control the upturning of the corners of your mouth, you still have to keep your pace.

They are all trying to hide the joy in their hearts.

Little did they know, Feng Yibo was really happy.

But this joy is not as simple as being an official.

The reason why I feel like floating is because my whole body is brisk!
Come to this world, nearly 20 years.

He has been rolling since he was very young, determined to change his destiny.

As the saying goes: Reading breaks through ten thousand "volumes".

Through studying hard, he finally became a king of papers.

But later, it was discovered that even if he was selected as Tanhua, there were still countless dignitaries on it.

You can easily suppress him casually.

Fortunately, he has such a respected mentor as Li Shouzhong.

Because of the marriage contract, he married an imperial merchant like the Xue family, and made good friends with a noble family like the Jia family.

But after all, after all, it is not as good as becoming a rich man himself!
Some people may think so.

As long as you win the Jinshi in the imperial examination, you are a powerful person.

However, that was only the initial leap across classes.

Can only be considered a scholar.

It's still the middle class of "scholars", or even the middle and lower classes.

The rich and powerful, in addition to being in important positions and having power.

It's better to be more expensive.

In Dawei, what is expensive?
Naturally, the Lord!

Now, Feng Yibo has become a real dignitary.

Although honors are just for beginners, they should not be underestimated!
From then on, he was qualified to walk with Jia's family.

Although he had never stopped walking before, in the eyes of outsiders, it was mostly clinging.

Walking around with unequal status is called Gao Pan.

Of course, Captain Shangqingche is compared with the family status of the Jia family.

It's still a long way off.

But, at least with this qualification.

Not like Jia Yucun.

Even if he becomes the Minister of the Ministry of War, he still has to continue to cling to the big tree of the Jia family.

Just let Jia Zheng summon him.

What's more, Feng Yibo's vest still bears one of the highest titles in the unknown.

Not only a hereditary replacement, but also a county king with a fief!
One county and two states in Donghai are his private territories.

The kind protected by Wei.

If it is expensive, it is really expensive.

The Duke's Mansion is no match.

In the eyes of most people in the world, this is also called:
Righteousness.

In other words, whoever wants to overthrow his rule in Donghai County must at least weigh the strength of Wei.

In short, from all aspects, Feng Yibo's shackles are getting less and less.

If you don't press it, it will really float up.

After all, he has the confidence to do whatever he wants to do.

One day, he will make a mistake, or even act recklessly.

There is also a way out.

As long as he wants, he can reveal his identity at any time.

Go be a sea king!
Um... the king of Donghai County.

It is human nature to feel self-satisfied for a while at the beginning of grasping the authority far beyond the world.

But that's all there is to it.

Feng Yibo knew that he couldn't really just go wantonly.

That was not in line with my original intention.

Therefore, this is the reason why he must suppress it.

Not just joy, but more restraint.

"I've seen Little Zongbo!"

Seeing him walking slowly, Yang Mingxin stepped forward and said jokingly.

There is a hint of sourness in it.

Of course, this sourness is not malicious, it's just human nature.

A bit more sour than envy, a bit less hate than jealousy.

If you have to give a definition, it may be a positive comparison among friends.

Hearing this, Feng Yibo wanted to show a wry smile.

There is a smile, but it can't be bitter.

In the end, he could barely straighten the arc of his mouth, waved his hands and said:

"Brother Xinmin, don't do this, let's talk well, brothers."

Xiao Zongbo was talking about the Minister of Rites.

Such titles are all ancient names and are used as elegant titles.

There are many similar ones, such as:

The Minister of the Ministry of War is called Xiao Sima.

The servant of the Ministry of Industry is called Xiao Sikong.

The servant of the Ministry of punishment is called Xiao Si Kou.

and many more.

Most of the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty are still shocked by the matter of Feng Yibo Jiaxun.

Obviously forgot that the right servant of the Ministry of Rites is his real job!

20-year-old servant!

It is still the first of the six Rites!
Could it be that, before the age of 30, there must be a chance to join the cabinet, right?
This is where Yang Mingxin's sourness comes from.

Of course, the cabinet does not simply get in through qualifications.

Usually the leader of the party.

Or a highly respected veteran with many years of political experience.

Only then may there be a chance to be elected to the cabinet.

Just like Zhang Songyue, originally the emperor's teacher, he is full of virtue and respect
He later became the leader of the new party.

Naturally, he became the best candidate for the chief assistant of the cabinet.

In fact, Li Shouzhong is not a member of the old and new parties, and he has some ties to Xungui.

However, he has been in the Imperial College for many years and has accumulated a very high reputation.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is highly respected.

In addition, he was left there for ten years, but he never used the slightest relationship.

It is enough to see the end of his character, and he is definitely not a person who is following others.

So Emperor Jingshun got the playbook of his standing in line, and was very happy to use him as a cabinet minister's backup.

After all, in the cabinet, there is also a need to balance the forces of all parties.

It is impossible for any one party to monopolize power.

Otherwise, he, the emperor, might be ostracized.

Hearing Feng Yibo's begging for mercy, Liu Zheng who came together immediately said:

"Feng Duwei said, Brother Xinmin, why don't you admit your mistake?"

There are a total of four honors for the captain of the Great Wei.

The lowest starting point is from the fourth-rank riding captain.

After that, he was the captain of the fourth rank Shangqi, and the captain of the third rank Qingche.

As for Feng Yibo, he is the captain of Qingche of the third rank, the one with the highest rank among them.

Only the captain of the Qingche can be honored as the captain.

The rest should be called in full.

This is the rule in the officialdom.

So although Liu Zheng and Yang Mingxin have different names, they are equally correct.

And generally speaking, people who hold multiple positions, or have officials and lords like this.

It must be the title or lord with a high rank that is given priority.

If the grades are the same, the title of Lord will be given priority.

These are some unspoken rules of officialdom.

Yang Ming heard the news, understood immediately, pretended to be flustered, and said in his mouth:
"I don't intend to offend you, please Feng Duwei forgive me!"

Feng Yibo naturally knew that these two people were deliberately teasing him.

He could only pretend to be helpless and sighed, saying:
"Okay! Zhuangyuan Building, do you want to go?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Mingxin immediately put away his frightened look, and said carelessly:

"Say it early! Let's go!"

Liu Zheng also flicked his sleeves, took the lead, and said:
"That's right, wasting time for nothing!"

Here Feng Yibo can only ask Li Shouzhong to bring the confession and the warrant back home.

After changing into casual clothes in the ministry, he followed the two to the Zhuangyuan building.

Obviously, the two will not let him go easily.

Feng Yibo is ready to never go home without getting drunk.

On the other hand, as the court meeting was over, the news of Feng Yibo's promotion to a nobleman spread throughout the various palaces.

In Jia's mansion, Jia Zheng told Jia's mother about it.

Soon the news spread throughout the Grand View Garden.

After visiting relatives in Yuanchun, people sent all the inscriptions to the palace.

In her spare time, she makes up her own pros and cons.

It was passed back to the Grand View Garden and ordered people to record it with stones.

I thought it was a romantic and elegant thing through the ages.

Jia Zheng ordered people to select fine workers, but did not mention the words engraved on the millstone.

It is only said that Yuanchun compiled the inscription on the Grand View Garden in the palace, and suddenly remembered the scenery in the garden.

Ever since You Xing, with her father Jia Zheng's character, she must have respectfully sealed it off, not letting anyone in casually.

When Yuanchun thought of this, he felt that he had let down the garden.

I also thought of a few sisters in my family who could write poems and Fu, so I simply let them live in.

Such a method will not make the beautiful woman down, and the flowers and willows will have no face.

However, Yuan Chun still thought of his precious brother.

Baoyu grew up among sisters since childhood, no more than other brothers.

If you don't let them go in together, I'm afraid you'll neglect him.

In addition, Yuan Chun didn't want King Jia and his wife to be unhappy.

Therefore, Yuan Chun ordered the eunuch to go to the Rong Mansion to issue an order:

The general idea is that all the sisters, including Daiyu and Baochai, can live in the garden.

He also specifically mentioned that Baoyu can also go in and study with him.

In fact, Yuanchun also knew that Daiyu and Baochai were different from Sanchun.

After all, the two of them are engaged, so I'm afraid they don't want to provoke gossip in the past.

Therefore, I don't force it, I just give in politely.

Sanchun and Baoyu are naturally overjoyed to be able to live in the fairyland-like Grand View Garden.

Without saying a word, several people moved in one after another.

Because Li Wan usually taught my sister-in-law, the old lady let her live in with her.

But Baochai and Daiyu received the order, but did not live in the Grand View Garden.

Only visited a few times with my sisters.

The wedding is approaching, and Baochai is most afraid of causing trouble.

If not, because the Xue family still has the Qiujia Mansion, and the mother has a companion with the aunt and sister.

Baochai wanted to move out a long time ago!
On weekdays, she nestled in Lixiangyuan.

When I go out for a walk, I am also with my mother, or go to the old lady's room to talk.

Daiyu mostly lives in her own home, serving Lin Ruhai and Aunt Lin in the Lin Mansion.

Occasionally, when I go to Jia's mansion, I also live in the old lady's courtyard.

Yesterday, Feng Yibo delivered a gift to his door.

After hearing the news of his return, Daiyu went to Jia's mansion to meet Baochai.

It's nothing more than talking about sisters' private words.

For example, the worry about Feng Yibo, and the joy of meeting him soon, etc.

Not enough for outsiders.

But, knowing that the two sisters were talking in the old lady's courtyard, Baoyu came over to join in the fun.

The two sisters didn't know how to avoid it, so Xueyan hurried back.

"Miss! Miss!"

Xueyan entered the room panting, and immediately said:

"Woo~ Uncle Feng has been promoted to a noble rank!"

She had just been playing with the maids in Jia Mu's room, and it was from them that she got the news.

"The second master and the old lady are talking about this in the room!"

Daiyu hurriedly pulled Xueyan, and asked eagerly:
"What did you say?"

Xueyan thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty:
"It's said that Uncle Feng is the servant and the captain, but I didn't understand it."

When Daiyu heard it, she immediately paid attention to useful information.

Can't help being surprised: "Brother Feng has been honored?"

The fourth prince of the Lin family obviously knows the value of honors.

Immediately, he shook the snow goose vigorously, and asked:
"You said the captain, but the third-rank Shangqingche captain?"

Xueyan was stunned by the shaking, and replied weakly:

"They only said they were servants and captains, I don't know anything else."

Most people have heard of these two official positions.

As for the full title of the official position, don't say that Xueyan didn't hear it.

Even if you hear it, you may not remember it.

Daiyu frowned, and immediately wanted to go out and ask someone to question her.

At this time, seeing that she was just ignoring her just now, her face was full of joy afterward.

Baoyu felt a little unhappy at once, and said:

"Tch! What's all the fuss about?"

As he said that, he still looked disdainful, curled his lips and said:

"So what if he's the captain of Qingche? Isn't brother Dongfu Zhen also a third-rank noble?"

Daiyu could hear the sourness in him, so she didn't want to talk to him.

But when he heard the final tone, his disdain became more and more disdainful, but he still couldn't hold back.

She squinted at Baoyu and said with a sneer:
"Brother Zhen is the legacy of our ancestors. If Brother Feng can be honored, he must have made a great contribution, and he can only receive the reward on his own!"

Baoyu is also a son of a family, so how can he not know the value of Jiaxun?
But he has always shown disdain for official career.

In addition, Daiyu disliked him more and more, and rarely played with him.

It made him very unhappy.

At that moment, Baoyu poked his neck and said:
"Not all the same?"

When Daiyu heard this, she sneered and said:

"You haven't, what does it have to do with you?"

This knife can be regarded as going straight to Baoyu's sore spot.

It's not that Baoyu wants honors, but that he doesn't have honors, so how can he disdain others?
Baoyu could only stalk her neck again, and insisted:
"I don't care!"

"laugh!"

Daiyu sneered and said disdainfully:
"You want to be rare!"

Seeing the two children arguing like children, Baochai couldn't help but feel a little headache.

Immediately advised:
"Sister, stop arguing with Brother Bao, let's go over there and inquire."

"Humph!"

When Daiyu heard this, she gave Baoyu a white look first, then held Baochai by her arms and said:

"go!"

"you……"

Seeing the sisters abandoning him again, Baoyu felt helpless.

But Jia Zheng didn't leave, and he didn't dare to go into the old lady's room.

In order not to bump into another scolding meal.

At this moment, he could only look at Baoqin who was about to slip away, and said:
"Little sister, shall we go to the garden to play?"

Because Mrs. Wang recognized Baoqin as her goddaughter, Baoyu did not call her sister Xue, but her little sister.

Baoqin hesitated just now, so she didn't keep up with the two sisters.

It's a bit difficult to handle now.

She rolled her eyes, showed a bright smile, and said:
"No, I'm going to serve my wife."

As soon as these words came out, Baoyu suddenly lost his energy.

He was not only afraid of his father, Jia Zheng, but also his mother, Mrs. Wang.

After thinking about it, there is really nowhere to go.

It suddenly occurred to him that he still had a brother, who couldn't compare to him in any way.

At that moment, Baoyu invited Jia Huan to play in the garden.

Jia Huan usually disdains Baoyu the most, but at this time he is very happy to invite him.

Thinking that this elder brother finally knew that he was okay, he went along happily.

When Baochai and Daiyu arrived at the old lady's side, they dared not enter the house to disturb the elders who were talking.

He only called mandarin ducks outside.

Daiyu asked eagerly: "Sister, did uncle mention the matter of Brother Feng's family?"

When Yuanyang heard this, he couldn't help but joked:
"Why are you two girls in a hurry, they are talking inside now!"

Seeing that the two were lost, Yuanyang covered her mouth with a light smile and said:
"It is said that Uncle Feng was promoted and became the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and he was also given the honor of being a captain of Qingche."

"what!"

Hearing this, Daiyu let out a soft cry, and looked at Baochai.

Both could see the joy in each other's eyes.

Seeing the appearance of the two, the mandarin duck had a slightly sour taste, as if jokingly said:

"Congratulations to the two girls, you really found a good husband!"
