On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Feng Yibo arrived in the capital city covered in travel.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the streets and alleys are filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere.
The group of people walked through the streets and alleys in large packages and finally returned to Feng Mansion.
A vermilion couplet has been pasted outside the gate, and Feng Yibo knew it was Li Shouzhong's handwriting at a glance.
When the concierge saw that the master had returned, he quickly opened the door and welcomed everyone in.
Feng Yibo settled down briefly and went to the main hall to meet Li Shouzhong.
With the rest at the end of the year, Li Shouzhong doesn't have to go to court these days.
They all entertained their grandchildren at home and taught Jialan how to read and write.
When he heard that Feng Yibo was back, he led Jia Lan out.
"Teacher! I'm back!"
Feng Yibo stepped forward to salute with excitement and said:
"Are your mentor and mistress okay?"
At this time, Jia Lan bowed obediently:
"Lan'er has met her uncle."
"Be good, I have prepared a gift for Lan'er. When I go back later, I will have someone bring it to you."
Feng Yibo touched his head, and Jialan suddenly shrank back shyly.
"Everything is fine here! It's just that your wife asks me about you from time to time."
Li Shouzhong watched the two people's actions with smiles in his eyes, and said:
"Now that I'm finally back, I have something to explain."
Feng Yibo smiled when he heard this and said, "I've made my teacher and my wife worried!"
Seeing that he was so tired, Li Shouzhong warned:
"You should wash away the dust first, and then we can talk in the study."
Feng Yibo nodded and said with a smile:
"I'll go and wash myself first. I'll go see my master's wife first, and then I'll talk to my mentor."
"go Go!"
Li Shouzhong nodded and said with a smile:
"It just so happens that your senior sister is here too."
"Senior sister is here too?"
Feng Yibo thought that only Jia Lan was sent here, but he didn't expect that Li Wan was also there.
But it makes sense when you think about it.
Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, the Jia family must be very busy.
But Li Wan didn't care about anything except Jia Lan's affairs.
Since Jialan is here, she will definitely follow.
By the way, I can also get together with my parents.
"Since we came to Duzhong, your senior sister has often brought Lan'er over and asked me to help teach her."
Seeing his confusion, Li Shouzhong explained casually and said:
"It's just that I don't have that time? I'm taking a break at the end of the year, and she brings Lan'er over to pester me every day."
Even though he said he didn't have time, his eyes when he looked at Jialan were full of kindness.
His love for his grandson is written all over his face.
Being close to one another is not something you talk about casually.
Soon after, Feng Yibo finished grooming.
He changed into a scholar's attire, and his whole temperament immediately increased.
He took Mrs. You and Aunt Meng to the back house, where a maid held up the curtain to greet them.
"Uncle is back!"
Feng Yibo smiled and nodded, then ducked into the room.
Li Mengshi and Li Wan were sitting on the Kang.
When they heard the sound, they all stood up to greet him.
Feng Yibo quickly stepped forward and saluted:
"Master's Wife! Senior Sister! Hello, both of you! I'm back!"
Li Mengshi had a smile on her face and greeted her repeatedly:
"Okay, okay! Just come back! Just come back!"
Li Wan followed and returned the favor with a smile.
But Feng Yibo's outfit made her a little confused.
Vaguely, I seemed to see Jia Zhu.
At this time, Feng Yibo turned around, made way for mother and daughter You and Aunt Meng, and introduced:
"Master's wife, this is You Lao'an, the stepmother of sister-in-law Jia Fuzhen of Ningguo."
"These two are her daughters, the second sister and the third sister."
"This is Aunt Meng, the wet nurse from my hometown."
Several people came over to greet her: "I've met the old lady!"
Li Mengshi had known that he had brought many people back, and thought they were all Jinling's family members.
Unexpectedly, there are relatives from the Jia family.
But why did you bring it with a wet nurse?
Isn't this a bit rude?
"I didn't know that when Lao An came, he was not welcomed from afar."
Li Mengshi immediately returned the gift and said:
"Lao An is really good at educating people, and your wife is as young as an onion!"
"This color is much more handsome than my palace servant!"
This compliment comes from the bottom of my heart.
Li Mengshi only thought that You and her daughter met Feng Yibo on the road.
Since they were all relatives, they were brought back to the house as guests.
So I didn't think much about it and just treated him as a guest.
Using Li Wan as a comparison also shows closeness.
In the past, in Jia's house, Li Wan was as dead as a tree all day long.
Just teach Jia Lan how to read and write, and teach my sister-in-law how to read with needlework.
Now my parents are here in Duzhong.
After frequent interactions, he became a little more angry.
Hearing this, he actually felt a little bit competitive.
Now he looked at the You sisters.
I saw that everyone was really beautiful, and they were all like flowers and bones.
Third sister You has a graceful figure, and second sister You is extremely beautiful.
Compared to themselves, they are in their own fields.
Sure enough, it's more than a few points.
Fortunately, Li Wansheng's temperament didn't really make him suppressed.
The You sisters were also looking at her at this time.
I saw Li Wan, dignified and beautiful, with a bookish air about to overflow.
Like a figure walking out of a painting of a lady.
The two sisters knew each other's identity again.
She is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites and the daughter-in-law of the Duke of the State.
It was inevitable that I felt a little ashamed of myself for a moment.
"Oh yo yo! The old lady is overly praised!"
Mrs. You was also flattered when she heard this and waved her hands repeatedly:
"The second sister and the third sister are all following me. They are all petty, but they dare not mention them together with the old lady's legitimate daughter and the eldest daughter-in-law of the second room in the Rong Mansion!"
She also knew the identity of Feng Yibo's mentor and family.
What's more, her two daughters are both concubines of other disciples.
How can it be compared with someone else's own daughter or the daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion?
Feng Yibo also understood at this time that Li Mengshi had misunderstood, and explained in a low voice with some embarrassment:
"Master's wife, the second sister and the third sister are my concubines in Jiangnan."
"ah?"
Li Mengshi and Li Wan both heard this and were both stunned.
Especially Li Wan couldn't help but blush when he thought that he had still had the desire to win just now.
Li Mengshi gave Feng Yibo an angry look, blaming him for not telling him earlier.
She thought they were just ordinary relatives!
Fortunately, it's not like making a fool of yourself.
After all, Mrs. You is also an Anren.
"Don't stand here, come in, sit down and talk!"
She didn't know how to respond.
In order to avoid embarrassment, he asked everyone to sit down first.
After everyone entered the room and sat down, Li Mengshi looked at the You sisters again.
It's getting more pleasing to the eye.
"Yibo is the only one in the Feng family, and his two wives are young."
"I'm still thinking about filling up his house with two good ones when he comes back, so that the Feng family can flourish as soon as possible."
Li Mengshi started to make amends, and then said a few words:
"I didn't expect Yibo to be so lucky as to take in two girls from You Lao'an."
Speaking of this, she looked at Mrs. You again and said in confusion:
"By the way, they and the eldest daughter-in-law of Ning Mansion are full sisters?"
The implication is to ask whether the two are concubines.
No wonder she asked.
After all, Mrs. You is also a eldest wife of the Ning Mansion, and her biological sisters should not easily become concubines.
Of course, with Feng Yibo's current future.
It's not impossible.
Mrs. You didn't feel insulted when she heard this, and said with a smile:
"To answer the old lady's question, these two sisters were born to me and my ex-husband."
Only then did Li Mengshi understand that Mrs. You actually remarried with her daughter.
He didn’t ask any more questions at the moment, just nodded and said:
"I see, this can be considered a kiss."
Thinking of this, she pointed at Li Wan again and introduced:
"This is my daughter, the palace judge."
"I know, I know!"
Hearing this, Mrs. You quickly returned all the compliments:
"You can tell at a glance that your wife is a lady, not a small family like us."
Li Wan's face turned red when he thought of what had just happened, and he lowered his head and said:
"Lao An is so complimentary."
Li Mengshi looked at the nervous You sisters and said with a smile:
"If it were from your sister's side, I should have called you sister-in-law."
"But now that you are all in Yibo's house, you should just let him call you sister."
When the two sisters heard this, they shouted in unison: "Sister!"
Li Wan had already adjusted his mentality and said with ease after hearing the words:
"I heard Sister-in-law Zhen say that her two younger sisters were born well. I didn't expect that when we met today, we found out that Sister-in-law Zhen is so humble!"
It's not like she doesn't know how to treat people.
She was just Wang Xifeng's housekeeper, and she was happy to be free.
Anyway, she is an orphan and a widower, and she is also the eldest son of a second wife.
No one should be given anything less than hers.
Just enough time to devote myself to teaching Jialan.
The You sisters knew that Feng Yibo's parents had both died, and regarded the Lis and his wife as their only elders.
Therefore, Li Mengshi is half their mother-in-law.
So the two sisters were very nervous from the moment they entered the house.
At this time, hearing Li Wan's compliment, the two sisters looked at each other.
In the end, it was my sister who spoke up.
"I don't dare to praise my sister. We sisters are just a bit colorful and can't compare to my sister's scholarly family."
The implication is that no matter how good they look, they are just concubines.
Unlike Li Wan, who is the legitimate daughter of a great family, she is also the daughter-in-law of the Duke's palace.
Li Wan smiled, but actually he felt somewhat dissatisfied.
But naturally it won't show.
He turned to Feng Yibo and said with a smile:
"The two sisters are like gods. Yu Zun has deigned to live in your house. Yi Bo must treat them well!"
Feng Yibo was a little confused when he heard this, but he still smiled and said:
"Sister, don't worry, it's not too late for my treasure to love them!"
As soon as these words came out, Sister You's cheeks suddenly turned red.
"Giggle!"
Li Wan covered his mouth and chuckled when he heard this.
But he remembered what Feng Yibo said about Wang Xifeng that day.
But of course she wouldn't talk about it, she just smiled and continued:
"Anyway, if Sister-in-law Zhen comes to me to complain someday, I will have to tell my father and mother, and I will definitely not be able to spare you!"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Everyone knows that these are just words.
Even if Feng Yibo really treated his concubine badly, Li Shouzhong and his wife would not say much.
At most, Li Meng's advice was just a few words of advice.
Not to mention a disciple, even a biological son.
It’s not like he even cares about the things in other people’s houses.
But after hearing this, the You sisters all looked grateful.
Second Sister You once again spoke on behalf of the two of them:
"Thank you for your love and care, sister, uncle is very good to our sisters!"
After saying that, the two sisters couldn't help but glance at Feng Yibo at the same time.
Realizing that it was not good, he immediately shyly avoided it.
Anyone can see the love in that look.
Li Wan saw that the two sisters were flirting with each other in front of him.
I didn't know what it felt like for a moment.
She didn't want to look at the two sisters anymore and turned to Feng Yibo.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt like joking, and immediately joked:
"It is said that Yibo has two wives, and now he has two younger sisters."
"There's exactly one for each room!"
