Early the next morning, Feng Yibo and Xue Pan both got up.
Jia Lian hasn't woken up yet.
The two of them went to Xue's mother to pay their respects without waiting for him.
This time when he went south to Yangzhou, Feng Yibo did not take the You sisters with him.
He only brought a Xiangling to serve him.
After all, his father-in-law was seriously ill, so it was not like he brought his two concubines there.
Xue Pan has a duckweed nature. Today he loves the east and tomorrow he loves the west.
I had forgotten Xiangling for a long time, but when I saw it, I just felt it looked familiar.
He didn't think about the conflict between the two.
Speaking of which, when he saw Daiyu for the first time before, he was stunned for a moment.
That kind of temperament was something he had never seen before.
Although he was not a good scholar, the Xue family still had the gene of a scholar in their bones.
After all, I like to be refined.
It was probably the same when he fell in love with Xiangling at first glance.
It's a pity that Kong has vision but no luck.
Every time Feng Yibo took the lead.
When he met Daiyu, it was after Daiyu and Feng Yibo got engaged.
Although Xue Pan was a little dazed, he was not really stupid.
Naturally, you know what to care about and what not to care about.
Feng Yibo originally thought that Daiyu and Baochai might be shy and shy when they knew he was coming.
I took Xiang Ling with me so that I could visit him on his behalf.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he and Xue Pan got on the boat, Xue's mother left them to eat together.
He also called Baochai and Daiyu over.
There is Xue Mu, the elder, and Xue Pan, the eldest brother.
Baochai doesn't have to avoid anything, and the same goes for Daiyu.
What's more, the three of them are also engaged, so sooner or later there will be opportunities to contact them.
After breakfast, the boat has started.
The few of them chatted about home affairs.
Aunt Xue knew Baochai and Daiyu and was very curious about Feng Yibo's past.
She, the elder, opened the topic first and asked:
"Yibo won the third prize at a young age. He must have suffered a lot, right?"
"If I go back to my aunt, there will definitely be some suffering."
Feng Yibo smiled, but changed the subject and said:
"But I have known since I was a child that studying will be hard for a while, but if you don't study, you will be hard for a lifetime."
He first set the tone before explaining:
"The Feng family is just an ordinary country official. If I didn't study, I would have to rely on the few acres of thin farmland at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Jinling for the rest of my life."
As soon as these words came out, the three women opposite them nodded frequently.
Even Xue Pan looked deeply convinced.
Just when Aunt Xue was wondering whether her son was enlightened.
But I heard Xue Pan nodding and saying:
"It's true. Only those who are not good at home can only study. For people like ours, it is better to study, but it is okay not to study."
It seems rare to say such reasonable words.
Xue Pan pointed at himself with a proud look on his face and said:
"Even if you only know a few words, won't you still be able to live comfortably?"
I almost thought he had grown up!
Aunt Xue glared at him angrily.
Baochai and Daiyu also suppressed their laughter.
"Brother Wenlong is wrong."
This guy's reading comprehension ability is somewhat off.
Understand everything in a direction that is beneficial to you.
Feng Yibo shook his head slightly and retorted with a smile:
“For a country official like me, studying is a stepping stone, the only way to express one’s ambitions, and an indispensable step forward.”
"For a famous eunuch family like the Xue family, reading is a touchstone and a basic quality for being able to understand what everyone is saying when you are walking around with others."
Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she whispered to Baochai beside her:
"Although this is a simple statement, its meaning is profound."
Baochai nodded with a smile and whispered back:
"Brother Feng is afraid that my brother won't understand, so he speaks so plainly."
After the two women finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, Xue Pan was unhappy and frowned:
"Although I have no knowledge, I still move around."
"I haven't seen any old relatives who know how to care about this, so they can't do anything about it?"
Xue Baochai didn't want her brother to be embarrassed again, so he said:
"The old man will tolerate us and is willing to let you understand, so you will understand."
Feng Yibo looked at Baochai and smiled at her.
Originally, he wanted to use some allusions to let Xue Pan understand what he couldn't understand.
But Baochai's words also mean the same thing.
He immediately used an allusion to Baochai that only the two of them understood, saying:
"Miss Baochai, you are absolutely right."
No one paid attention to his title.
Only Baochai's face turned red.
She suddenly remembered that this was the first time the two met, and Feng Yibo called her.
Until now, she still doesn't understand.
How did Feng Yibo, a foreigner, know her nickname at that time.
I'm afraid I won't have the chance to ask again until I get married.
Thinking of this, Baochai's face turned even redder.
Daiyu was beside her, looking at her suspiciously.
Although I don’t know the specific situation, I can see that there is something fishy between the two.
It's something she doesn't know yet.
At this moment, when Feng Yibo saw Baochai's shy look, he knew that she understood what he meant, and couldn't help but joke again:
"First Evolution"
"The shy flower explains the words, the gentle jade is fragrant."
This sounds ordinary.
It's nothing more than praising people like flowers, beauty like jade and so on.
But just these two ordinary sentences made Baochai forget his shyness, and Daiyu also forgot his suspicion.
Both women looked at Feng Yibo in surprise.
Seeing the situation between the two of them, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"After the imperial examination, I occasionally read some leisure books, but I didn't expect my two sisters to read them too?"
"ah?"
When he asked, the two women suddenly panicked slightly.
Baochai reacted first and said:
"If Brother Feng hadn't said anything, I would have thought you did it on the spot. I'm thinking that this sentence seems to be lacking."
Daiyu also nodded and agreed:
"Yes, yes! I think the same thing as my sister. I'm still thinking that I can only use the lower half to make up for it."
Hearing the two daughters-in-law talking nonsense, Feng Yibo suppressed his laughter and nodded:
"It turns out that the two sisters also like poetry, so we can communicate with each other when we have time. Recently, I occasionally teach Xiang Ling to write a few sentences!"
The reason why the two women reacted like this was because of the two sentences Feng Yibo just said.
It's from "The Romance of the West Chamber".
He just said it casually and immediately knew that the two of them had read the book.
It's interesting to say that the opera of "The West Chamber" is suitable for all ages and everyone can listen to it.
But the script is a taboo in this era.
Especially young ladies and young masters from wealthy families must not look at them casually.
In other words, even if I have seen it, I can’t say I have.
At this time, Xue Pan looked at the three of them in confusion.
He realized that he had no idea what was happening and couldn't help but said:
"You just don't want me to understand, so I don't understand, right?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in shock at first, and then burst into laughter.
Although Xue's mother didn't quite know what happened just now, she laughed so hard that tears came out.
Even Daiyu couldn't help but praise:
"Brother Xue was right for once!"
There is a first time, there is a second time.
In the days that followed, Feng Yibo came to pay his respects every day.
Sometimes Xue Pan followed, sometimes he came by himself.
Let's have dinner together with the Xue family, mother and daughter, and Daiyu, and talk about home affairs.
Feng Yibo is funny and often makes the three girls smile.
Even Daiyu's mood was somewhat relieved.
Unlike the past few days, I always secretly wiped away tears alone.
Sometimes when he left, he would leave Xiangling behind to accompany the two of them to relieve their boredom.
Xiangling was studious and inquisitive, and often discussed poetry and poetry with the two girls.
The three of them complemented each other well.
But after Feng Yibo returned, Jia Lian and Xue Pan would occasionally make fun of him.
Jia Lian might laugh at him for forgetting his friends after seeing sex.
Xue Pan would not say that about his brother-in-law, he would only say that he wanted to escape drinking.
So the three of them inevitably had another drink.
It's just that they both made a tacit agreement not to drink too much with Jia Lian.
I was afraid that he would get drunk again and say something he shouldn't have said.
Time flies by like this.
The ship soon arrived in Yangzhou, and the servants got off the ship packed with bags.
A group of people went straight to the Salt Courtyard.
