With sudden success, ordinary people will inevitably become mentally unbalanced.
Naturally, Feng Yibo would not really use Gouzi just because of this trivial matter.
After all, they have been raised since childhood, and a little beating is enough.
Most of those who are absolutely loyal are single-minded.
Anyone who is smart needs to knock at the critical moment.
He needs to understand whether his situation matches his ambition.
Of course, this is not ambition for Gouzi.
It can only be regarded as a bit of vanity.
This little spark of vanity was also being hammered away by Feng Yibo.
Completely extinguished.
Gouzi's mentality returned to normal.
Even to Feng Yibo, who controls his destiny.
In addition to being close, there is also a lot of awe.
When the ship arrived in Yangzhou, the master and servant got off the official ship.
This time I returned to Jiangnan, although it was for official business.
But since he was passing through Yangzhou, Feng Yibo would inevitably show some favoritism.
He wanted to visit his future father-in-law.
Lin Ruhai.
As soon as he got off the boat, Feng Yibo went to buy gifts himself.
Gouzi went to the back door of Yangzhou Yanyuan and delivered the greeting card.
Yangzhou Salt Academy is also called Lianghuai Salt Administration Office.
The Salt Patrol Censor is the chief official here and is also revered as the Grand Master of the Salt Academy.
In charge of the salt administration of Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers.
In front of Yangzhou Salt Court is the Yamen, and in the back is the official residence.
Lin Ruhai works in the front during the day and rests in the back at night.
Commuting to and from get off work is really convenient.
In the afternoon, Feng Yibo led people into the official residence through the corner door at the back.
Soon, he was taken to the study.
This also means closeness.
If you are a guest, you will be received in the main hall.
"I've met my uncle. Yibo came here without permission. What a bother!"
Feng Yibo bowed deeply as soon as he entered the door.
"Come on, come on! Let me take a good look!"
Lin Ruhai stood up and walked over to help him personally.
When the two met for the first time, Lin Ruhai looked him up and down.
But the more I look at it, the more satisfied I become.
He felt like he was seeing himself when he was younger.
It's a coincidence.
Both Weng and his son-in-law were admitted to the imperial examination, and both had the important task of being imperial envoys.
There are indeed some similarities.
Except family background.
The Lin family has four generations of nobles, while the Feng family is just a family of ordinary rural officials.
But Feng Yibo's performance in imperial examinations and official career was much better than when he was young.
After all, Lin Ruhai is at this age.
Haven't passed the exam yet.
"My second brother-in-law is really a loyal and honest gentleman, but what he said was too modest!"
Jia Zheng can be regarded as the matchmaker between Feng Yibo and Lin Daiyu.
If he hadn't written to Lin Ruhai, this good thing might not have happened to Feng Yibo.
Lin Ruhai mentioned Jia Zheng, which also brought the relationship between the two closer.
If you know the same people, it's easy to have common topics.
"Yibo is really a talented person, even better than what my brother-in-law said. He is a perfect match for my Daiyu!"
Lin Ruhai praised all three people in just two sentences.
Although there is a glimpse of a leopard in the tube, it is enough to show his sophistication.
While Lin Ruhai was looking at Feng Yibo.
Feng Yibo was also sizing up Lin Ruhai.
I saw that he was about forty years old.
The whole person's demeanor is elegant and elegant.
Typical classical scholarly temperament.
The old man compares himself to one.
It is said that daughters follow their father more.
Lin Daiyu probably followed Lin Ruhai to a large extent.
But Lin Ruhai was so handsome, but Feng Yibo saw something was wrong.
He was in his prime, but his face was a little pale.
There was also an abnormal blush on her cheeks.
It's inconspicuous, but you can still see it if you pay a little attention.
Moreover, his eye sockets are a little deep and the circles under his eyes are a little dark.
He looks like a time management guru.
If Sister Lin is weak to Liu Fufeng, she has the temperament of a sick beauty.
Lin Ruhai seemed to be overly romantic, a bit like an empty young master.
Two words to describe it, that is.
Vain.
Could it be that my father-in-law...
At this time, Feng Yibo came back to his senses when he heard the other party's praise.
He hurriedly said modestly: "The prince is full of praise, and my uncle is full of praise. Thanks to you both for not giving up, Yibo is very ashamed!"
"Let's sit and talk."
Lin Ruhai let Feng Yibo in, and they took their seats respectively.
Then a servant served tea.
Lin Ruhai took a sip and asked first:
"Your Majesty has arrived in the capital. How is everything going now?"
Feng Yibo sat respectfully and replied after hearing this:
"As far as my uncle is concerned, my mentor is a good man and has settled down in the capital."
Lin Ruhai nodded and asked casually:
"The court is not stable either. I'm afraid there will be many people in trouble, right?"
Feng Yibo smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"Although I was criticized twice at the beginning, I got through it safely, and now I have begun to gain a firm foothold."
Regarding political affairs, Lin Ruhai only asked a few questions.
He stopped asking any more questions and turned to:
"How's it going with Daiyu? Have you ever visited Jia's house?"
"Uncle, don't worry. I went to Jia's house before I left. Miss Lin is very nice there."
Feng Yibo smiled when he heard this and added:
"She is very popular with the old lady in Rong Mansion. Together with the ladies of the Jia family, she recites acupuncture every day and lives quite comfortably."
"That's good. I'm just a legitimate daughter, and I'm most worried about her not having a good life."
Lin Ruhai felt a little emotional, sighed again, and said:
"Alas! If it weren't for the fear that she would be laughed at because of her lack of motherly upbringing, plus the old lady was urging her too hard."
"I really can't bear to let her go to Duzhong and suffer the pain of being dependent on someone else."
After speaking, he shook his head.
It seemed that Daiyu was not around, which made him regretful.
Feng Yibo thought for a while and then said carefully:
"Although the old lady is here, Miss Lin will be fine in Jia Mansion, but if uncle feels that he misses her, he might as well send someone to bring her back."
"Miss Lin must also miss you very much!"
Lin Ruhai shook his head when he heard this and sighed:
"It's a pity that the salt business here is very busy, and I don't want to renew my relationship, so I really can't think about it."
"It's better to let her stay in the capital, loved by her grandmother and accompanied by her sisters."
Speaking of this, he looked up at Feng Yibo.
A smile appeared on his face and he said:
"I can marry you only after Daiyu grows hairpin. Then you can bring her back to see her more often."
When Lin Ruhai said this, Feng Yibo couldn't say anything else.
I can only nod in agreement.
When mentioning the marriage between the two, Lin Ruhai remembered one more thing.
Then he smiled and said: "Speaking of which, if I had known that you were going back to Jiangnan, I wouldn't have been in a hurry to have Miaoyu go to Duzhong."
"Miaoyu?"
Feng Yibo was stunned, feeling that the name sounded familiar.
He has never read the original Dream of Red Mansions, but he has heard of the name.
It should be one of the twelve beauties of Jinling!
Seeing Feng Yibo's confused look, Lin Ruhai asked with a smile:
"Didn't your master tell you?"
What his master's wife said flashed through Feng Yibo's mind, and he blurted out:
"Could she be my uncle's concubine?"
Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded, saying:
"Yes, I promise to be your concubine, and her nickname will be Miaoyu."
It turns out that Miaoyu is Daiyu's sister?
Miaoyu, Daiyu.
Don't say it!
If there is no Baoyu intrusion.
It really looks like it was taken by the same person!
