If they didn't regard Feng Yibo as their nephew, Li Shouzhong and his wife would never do this.
In the eyes of the old couple, all major marriage matters are the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker.
Feng Yibo has no parents or elders.
Then as his mentor and master's wife, they should take care of him.
But the old couple thought that for such hard work, they could at least get a word of gratitude.
Unexpectedly, it looked like he had done bad things with good intentions.
This kid seems reluctant?
Feng Yibo didn't know where to start for a while.
"well!"
He could only sigh with a bitter look on his face, and then said:
"This disciple cares so much about the two elders and works so hard to take care of them. It is really deeply touching."
The old couple looked at each other, both looking confused.
Since you are grateful, why do you still show your face to us?
Just listen to Feng Yibo continue: "How can the disciple be dissatisfied?"
really.
Be it Xue Baochai or Lin Daiyu.
These are the two girls who are ranked first among the twelve beauties of Jinling!
Which one could he be dissatisfied with?
But.
The rankings can be tied, but the wives cannot!
Marrying both of them would be inconsistent with etiquette.
and……
He licked his dry lips, his voice hoarse.
"But my mentor, my wife! Just a month ago, the Holy One granted me a marriage by decree!"
"What did you say?"
Both Li Shouzhong and Li Mengshi's expressions changed.
"What kind of marriage?"
"What kind of marriage?"
"The Holy One may want to compensate me for lowering my name to become a scholar, so he issued an edict to grant me a marriage to calm the scholarly debate."
Feng Yibo smiled bitterly and added:
"I wrote a letter to my mentor about this. Maybe I haven't arrived at Aurous Hill yet, so I missed it."
Li Mengshi suddenly felt worried when she heard that the emperor was involved.
She glanced at Li Shouzhong and saw that he was also frowning.
Suddenly I couldn't help but ask: "Master, how did you do this?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shouzhong immediately relaxed his brows and smiled at her.
"It's okay. As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty. It's a good thing that the Holy Spirit grants marriage. Just make the matter clear."
Li Mengshi naturally didn't believe that things would be so simple.
She hesitated and said, "But, the Lin family's marriage..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Shouzhong immediately responded with a smile.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll just write a memorial and explain the situation later. I believe the Holy One will make his own decision."
Without any twist, he added: "Yibo and I will discuss the matter of going to court tomorrow."
"Okay, then you guys can discuss it. I'll go around the yard and see how Yibo's house looks like."
Li Mengshi nodded when he heard this and went out with worries.
This is the family tradition of Jinling Li family.
When men discuss business matters, women should stay away.
After Li Mengshi left, Li Shouzhong frowned.
"Yibo, this matter is not that simple."
Feng Yibo naturally understood and said apologetically: "Disciple caused trouble to my mentor!"
He was being cautious these days, but unexpectedly something went wrong elsewhere.
Although Li Shouzhong did not discuss it with him in advance.
But the old couple is doing it for your own good, so you can't blame others on the other hand, right?
"This is still an oversight on the part of the teacher."
Li Shouzhong also knew that Feng Yibo was not to blame, and he shook his head when he heard this.
Although he didn't feel that he was wrong to make an engagement with Feng Yibo.
But after all, I was in a hurry to come to Duzhong and didn't discuss it with Feng Yibo in advance.
Therefore, he rarely put aside his honor as a teacher and explained a few sentences.
"I also thought that since you didn't have any elders here, even if you wanted to get engaged, you would wait until I arrived. I didn't expect that the Holy One would grant us a marriage."
Feng Yibo shook his head after hearing this and said sincerely:
"It's indeed unexpected, but after all, it's my fault that I was a little moody at Jia's house before."
This is sort of the origin of the whole thing.
"This is your good intention, I understand."
Seeing that Feng Yibo continued to admit his mistake, Li Shouzhong waved his hand to stop him from continuing and said:
"Let's not worry about who is right and who is wrong. The most important thing is to think of a solution."
He thought of something again and asked, "By the way, whose girl is the girl who gave me the marriage?"
Feng Yibo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his mentor regaining his composure so quickly.
Back to: "She is the legitimate daughter of the eldest son of the Xue family in Jinling."
"Oh? You are so lucky to be the successor to a scholarly family after Ziwei died."
Li Shouzhong was a little surprised when he heard this.
The Li family is also a big family in Jinling, and they are close relatives of the Jia family.
He is no stranger to the Xue family.
He pondered: "It seems that the Holy One wants me to join forces with Wang Ziteng?"
Li Shouzhong stood up and walked around, thinking for a moment.
Finally, he shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's think about the marriage."
Feng Yibo told the story from beginning to end.
Although the two of them still had no clue about this.
But there are many problems to sort out.
First of all, what is on the surface is the issue of marriage contract.
No matter which side you retreat to, it's hard to explain.
Both parties are well-known, and they are close relatives of the Li family.
That's okay, but there's something even more troublesome.
It's a matter of "etiquette".
If the etiquette is followed, the date of the marriage contract set by Li Shouzhong and Lin Ruhai will be first.
The emperor's marriage grant turned into a random fate.
This is no small matter!
The emperor's will has been announced to the world.
If we withdraw it again, we will lower the authority of the Heavenly Family.
Not only the master and apprentice, but also Emperor Jingshun will be very passive.
Solving this problem is not that simple.
The two discussed it for a long time, but they still couldn't find a suitable solution.
Finally, Feng Yibo had an idea and came up with an idea.
But he didn't have much confidence in this and hesitated:
"Actually, I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
"Tell me first!"
When Li Shouzhong heard this, he didn't have much hope.
Feng Yibo hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and said:
"We, master and disciple, are not enough for this matter, we need someone to help."
…
Just when the master and apprentice were discussing strategies.
Two people in the Jia family received letters from Jiangnan.
What's happening here?
After Jia Zheng read the letter, he frowned.
My sister-in-law wrote to say thank you for helping me see her.
And have you arranged Daiyu’s marriage with Li Shouzhong?
This was indeed the suggestion he mentioned in his letter.
But I didn’t expect my sister-in-law to be so efficient!
But.
Feng Yuan is already engaged to Baochai!
The marriage letter was written by myself!
This is bad!
No matter how innocent he was, he knew he was in trouble.
what to do?
This is a marriage granted by the emperor!
The matter involves the royal family, how to deal with it?
On the other side, Lin Daiyu's eyes widened after reading the letter.
His face turned red and white for a moment.
Baochai was nearby at this time. Seeing her expression was different, he asked with concern: "But is there something going on at home?"
"No, no, no!"
Daiyu said three things in a row and clasped the letter in panic.
He even glanced at Baochai guiltily.
This glance happened to catch her hand waving the incense fan.
Wearing the best ghost old black-haired crystal bracelet on her wrist.
The skin is more radiant and plump.
Daiyu quickly looked away, forced a smile and said:
"It's nothing serious. I just received a letter from my father and felt a little homesick."
Baochai was a little confused when he heard this and stared at Daiyu for a while.
It wasn't until Daiyu's eyes dodge that she suddenly smiled and said:
"It's okay, let's go to the yard to cool off."
