After receiving the report from his disciples, Jia Zheng immediately called someone to Jia Yucun.
The two of them were waiting together in the south hall of Rongxi Hall.
Soon, Feng Yibo and Gouzi were also brought into the hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Feng Yibo immediately bowed and saluted:
"Feng Yibo, a junior from Jinling, has met Mr. Zheng and Mr. Yucun!"
"Look and sit."
Jia Zheng raised his hand and said with a smile:
"I've heard from Yucun that you are a talented person. Today, when I see you, you are indeed extraordinary. You are truly a young and talented person with a majestic appearance!"
"Mr. Zheng, this is a letter from my mentor to you and my senior sister."
Feng Yibo handed over the letter with both hands, and after the other party took it, he returned and sat down.
Jia Zheng took the letter and did not read it anxiously. Instead, he asked with concern: "How is my father-in-law's health?"
"My mentor is in very good health. Before I set off, my mentor personally escorted me to the dock."
Jia Zheng nodded and waved his hand to call a maid waiting in the hall.
"Send this letter to your eldest daughter-in-law."
The maid responded, took the letter and went straight to the back house.
Jia Zhengze opened the letter and said, "I heard that you came to Duzhong this time to participate in the Spring Festival. I wonder if you are satisfied with your performance?"
He just casually expressed concern.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo's words would stop Jia Zheng from opening the letter.
"To be honest, Mr. Zheng, I feel that I am very confident that I will try this time!"
"Forehead?"
Normally, such questions should be answered modestly.
For example: I’ve tried my best, and the rest is up to God’s will.
At this time, Jia Zheng took the opportunity to say a few words of encouragement: Just work hard, and you will definitely get the gold medal.
But now, Feng Yibo was not modest at all, but said directly: I did well in the exam.
Jia Zheng didn't react for a moment and stopped halfway through opening the letter in his hand.
Fortunately, there was Jia Yucun in the hall who had been silent for a long time.
He smiled and said: "On the way, I have learned a lot and have strong knowledge. I knew at that time that you would definitely win the title of Toad Palace!"
After hearing this, Feng Yibo immediately stood up and saluted, and said with a grateful face: "If it weren't for the guidance of Mr. Yucun, I would not dare to say this."
"Under the guidance of my mentor, I had a lot of confidence. I was lucky enough to travel with Mr. Yucun along the way, and I gained a lot."
Speaking of this, Feng Yibo smiled freely and said:
"If I were to be humble again at this time, I would be sorry for the teachings of my mentor and the guidance of Mr. Yucun along the way."
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the confidence on Feng Yibo's face, Jia Zheng laughed a few times.
He said: "Young people must have this spirit!"
But I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
In the end, it was Yifu Jieyuan who had such courage.
Considering the Jia family's family, how many people want to curry favor?
And when he saw that he was not flattering, he was neither humble nor arrogant.
He speaks with confidence and without any sense of humility.
Jia Zhengzhen fell more and more in love with it the more he watched it.
Especially when I think of my own ineffectiveness...
I spend the whole day hanging out in the house!
He must be beaten later to let him know the consequences of not studying.
"Thank you, Mr. Government, for your compliment, and thank you, Mr. Yucun."
Feng Yibo stood up and thanked him.
Raising his hand again, Gouzi handed over a package.
Three scrolls of paintings are exposed. I think the gifts are some calligraphy and paintings.
Feng Yibo opened the package and took out a scroll and an ancient book.
He took out another gift list and handed it to Jia Zheng, saying:
"This is a small gift. On behalf of my master, I would like to express my regards to the old lady and Mr. Zheng."
A single volume of the "Diamond Sutra" and a pair of "Apricot Blossom Pictures" by Tang Yin.
There are also rare medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antler.
Such a gift list is already a heavy gift.
Jia Zheng naturally understood that Feng Yibo had prepared it for Li Shouzhong.
But precisely because of this, he was surprised by the generosity of his move.
"My father-in-law is too polite. I will be very happy if you can come to the tournament."
Feng Yibo smiled and nodded when he heard this.
He also took out a scroll of calligraphy and painting and a money order from the package.
He handed it to Jia Yucun along with a gift list.
A copy of "Qingyun Tu".
A money order of two thousand taels of official silver.
"Thank you Mr. Yucun for your thoughtful thoughts on the ship and your guidance along the way."
Gratitude is natural and true.
After all, the policy discussion part of this conference has a lot of traces of Jia Yucun.
But in fact, one thousand taels is enough.
The reason why Feng Yibo added a thousand taels was actually an investment.
Because he clearly remembered that Jia Yucun would not only be restored and reused in the future, but would also be returned to the prefecture of Yingtian.
That was his parents' official in his hometown.
Invest a little now and you will definitely make a profit without losing money.
"This is a little bit of my thoughts, please accept it, Mr. Yucun!"
Jia Yucun quickly took it, smiled freely, and said: "Since it is Yibo's sincere intention, I will not refuse."
Although he was not poor, he certainly did not have a lot of money.
Two thousand taels of official silver is enough for him to buy a lot of things.
However, he was still a little confused when watching "Qingyun".
It must be worth a lot to send him along with the two thousand taels of money order.
But he didn't hear it.
When I opened it, I saw the word "Qingyun" written on it in large, tall and elegant fonts.
However, the accompanying paintings are very immature and have only their own style but no meaning.
And there is no signature.
Jia Yucun hesitated and said: "Let's not mention this painting for now. The word "Qingyun" does have the style of a famous artist... Forgive me for my limited knowledge, I don't know who painted it?"
"The old gentleman is overly praised."
Feng Yibo replied with a smile: "I did it with my own hands. I only hope that Mr. Yucun can recover as soon as possible and live up to Qingyun's ambition!"
There was another sentence he didn't say, but he believed Jia Yucun could understand.
The unfinished meaning of the word "Qingyun" is to wish Jia Yucun a smooth and prosperous future.
Knowing that Feng Yibo had done it himself, Jia Yucun immediately understood what he meant.
Even beyond these superficial meanings.
He also understood that Feng Yibo was probably helping him promote Jia Zheng's side in disguise.
Immediately, Jia Yucun couldn't say anything more, so he just smiled and praised:
"I didn't expect Yibo to be good at calligraphy and painting. It's really rare."
"I occasionally feel it, and I doodle freely. I hope the old man doesn't find it crude."
Feng Yibo smiled and waved.
He had learned a little bit of sketching in his previous life, and a little bit of painting in this life.
However, whether it is sketching or painting, he is a dabbler.
At most, it is used to fool laymen. Those who really understand will know the basics at a glance.
The painting he gave to Jia Yucun was just a gimmick.
At the same time, it also lays the groundwork for another painting.
The real gift to Jia Yucun was actually the two thousand taels of money order.
While a few people were chatting, the maid who had just gone to deliver the letter came back to report.
"Second Master, Grandma Zhu is in the old lady's room. She has been crying after reading the letter, so the old lady asked me to come and take a look."
"If it's over with the second master, I'll ask this junior from Grandma Zhu's family to come into the inner house to have a talk, so that Grandma Zhu can ask about Mr. Li's current situation and comfort him from missing his parents."
Jia Zheng nodded when he heard this and said: "Okay, since mother has summoned me, I will take Yibo there later."
