The next day was New Year's Eve, and Feng Yibo got up early.
Arrangements were made for all the New Year gifts to be given away.
He doesn't have many people walking around in the city.
The only relatives are the Jia family of Rongguo and the Xue family of Lixiangyuan.
Lin Ruhai's annual gifts were also given away.
In addition, there is Zhang Songyue, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and several colleagues from the Hanlin Academy.
There is also Xia Bingzhong, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace.
Although you can't give gifts blatantly, you still have to show it.
These are his own connections and must be maintained.
Finally, there is the Qin family in Caochang Hutong.
The Feng and Qin families were close friends, but they lost contact with each other for a few years.
Qin Ye helped him last time, and the two families started to move around again.
Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the Feng Mansion got busy.
Feng Yibo first laid out three animal offerings and offered sacrifices to the ancestors of the Feng family.
Then he kowtowed to Li Shouzhong and his wife who had also completed the sacrifice, and received two generous red envelopes.
He accepted the worship from the servants and gave them all New Year's money with his own hands.
Leave the rest to Aunt Meng.
Mrs. You took Sister You, Xiangling and others to the back house to make dumplings with Li Mengshi.
After the bags were wrapped, another burst of firecrackers was set off at the door.
The "crackling" collapse officially announced the replacement of the old with the new.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Wan took Jia Lan back home to pay New Year greetings.
Feng Yibo gave Jia Lan a big red envelope and told him not to spend it arbitrarily.
It is good to save it for marrying a wife in the future.
Jia Lan, who has always been a well-behaved person, went straight into Li Wan's arms.
In the third year of junior high school, Feng Yibo started visiting relatives.
For families like the Jia family and the Xue family, all the princes and aristocrats were welcomed and sent off in the past few days.
Even if he goes, I'm afraid it will only be in a hurry.
"Before the fifteenth year, it was all years."
It's better to wait for a while and go there before the Lantern Festival.
The same is true over Zhang Songyue's side, with a constant stream of people coming and going.
Feng Yibo's New Year's gift is enough.
He wasn't going to pounce and become his lackey, so he just had to be polite.
Several colleagues in the Hanlin Academy are of the same generation and are not suitable for the past.
So, the only thing to go to today.
It's the Qin Mansion.
Feng Yibo arrived at Caochang Hutong with gifts.
After the invitation was delivered, he was quickly led to the main room.
As soon as he entered the room, Feng Yibo was stunned for a moment.
Besides Qin Ye, there were several people in the room.
First there was a boy, about the same age as Baoyu.
This is naturally Qin Zhong.
Feng Yibo knew that he didn't have to go to school, so he specially prepared a red envelope.
Therefore, he was naturally not the one who was surprised.
But a woman.
A woman who once haunted my dreams, but now I have long forgotten her.
Seeing Feng Yibo come in, Qin Keqing slowly got up from the kang with the help of the maid.
She naturally heard the announcement in the house.
But when Feng Yibo came in, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
A pair of wonderful eyes looked over.
This look contained a lot of things, and seemed to have a hint of resentment.
It was this hint of resentment that made Feng Yibo stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, after learning that Ke'er's sister was married, Feng Yibo decisively stopped thinking about it.
At this time, he directly avoided her eyes and stepped forward to salute Qin Ye:
"Happy New Year uncle, Yibo wishes you a New Year's greetings. I wish you blessings like the East Sea, a house full of gold and jade, prosperous descendants, and good health!"
Qin Ye greeted him with a smile, supported him and said:
"Okay, okay! Come and sit! Come and sit!"
Then he looked back at his children and said:
"Ke'er, Zhong'er, do you still remember your brother Yuan? Why don't you come over to see me?"
Qin Zhong has beautiful eyebrows and pink lips.
Liu Fufeng looks weak and timid.
Like a little girl.
Hearing this, he said shyly:
"Happy New Year, brother Yuan."
"Brother Zhong has grown so tall!"
Feng Yibo reached out and touched his head, handed over another red envelope and said:
"This is the new year's money for you, but don't spend it randomly. It's better to save it for your future wife."
He was still a little confused, so he just copied what he said to Jialan.
In fact, Qin Zhong is not as close to him as Jia Lan.
It's somewhat abrupt to say this.
In addition, Qin Zhong was already shy, so he immediately jumped behind Qin Ye after hearing this.
It made Qin Ye laugh.
He only thought that Feng Yibo was showing his closeness, but didn't think much about it.
"Brother Yuan, happy New Year. Kerr wishes you a happy new year. I wish you a bright future, get married and have children as soon as possible, and continue to be an heir to the Feng family."
After all, she is a noble lady, and she is already very good at dealing with people.
Qin Keqing followed Feng Yibo's words and joked.
As soon as these words came out, Feng Yibo felt relieved.
The feeling of strangeness between the two is no longer as strong as before.
Hearing this, he also smiled and replied: "I didn't prepare a red envelope for sister Ke'er, I can only make up for it next time."
"Giggle!"
Qin Keqing covered her mouth and smiled softly when she heard this, but she said with a hint of resentment:
"Brother Yuan still loves to joke as much as he did when he was a child!"
"Uncle said last time that sister Ke'er married into a high family, but he didn't even have time to congratulate her."
Feng Yibo didn't want to talk to her about old things, so he changed the subject and said with concern:
"I guess everything is fine now, right?"
No idea, Qin Keqing seemed to see his dodge.
He smiled and asked, "What if I can't say it right?"
What he said was somewhat meaningful.
Qin Ye immediately lowered his head, showing a hint of shame and anger for some reason.
Feng Yibo originally just asked casually.
Hearing this, it was a little difficult to answer, so I could only ask:
"Ning Guo Jia Mansion, a noble lady from a high family, how can she be bad?"
Qin Keqing knew that he had no answer, so he felt a little bored for a moment.
He forced a smile and said:
"Exactly, how could it be bad?"
After she finished speaking, she also felt that she was a little out of sorts, and quickly said:
"I heard that Brother Yuan is married to two girls from Rongguo. Who knows, I may even be called uncle in the future!"
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
Uncle.
When the word "ye" is read lightly, it means daughter's husband.
Normal reading means aunt's husband.
From Jia Rong's side, Qin Keqing wants to call Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai his cousins.
That's why it's said.
"Sister Ke'er is joking. Our two families are just like each other."
"Although Ning Mansion and Rong Mansion are the same family, they are also separated by one layer."
Feng Yibo didn't know whether she meant something or just said it casually.
So I could only reply in a slightly joking way:
"It's not like we have to follow the other side's call. We just do our own thing."
"Brother Yuan is joking again. Since you marry and obey your husband, I will naturally discuss it from the side of the Jia family."
Although Qin Keqing said it with a smile, he didn't know why the resentment was even heavier.
At this time, the maid next to her seemed to pull her.
Feng Yibo looked at the maid and said with a smile:
"Are you Ruizhu? You are all grown up now, and you don't even say hello when you see me?"
Ruizhu is Qin Keqing's personal maid and has been with her since she was a child.
Feng Yibo was naturally somewhat impressed.
"Master, do you still remember this slave?"
Ruizhu looked surprised, and then quickly said:
"Ruizhu wishes the uncle a happy New Year and wishes him a bright future."
Feng Yibo casually took some broken silver and rewarded it.
Qin Keqing also knew that he had just lost his composure.
Feng Yibo obviously cooperated with Ruizhu on purpose.
At that moment, she put aside her worries and began to make amends.
With her intentional move, the room was soon filled with laughter.
It seems that the resentment just now was all an illusion.
In the end, Qin Ye wanted to keep the meal, but Feng Yibo found an excuse and left.
