When Feng Yibo took a rest, he made an appointment with Liu Zheng and Yang Mingxin.
The three people who had not seen each other for a long time made an appointment to meet again at the Zhuangyuan Building.
It's like reminiscing about the past.
For more than a year, Feng Yibo has been traveling here and there.
The two of them were not idle in the Hanlin Academy either.
Although he was not promoted as fast as Feng Yibo, his performance was still dazzling.
The speed of promotion is much faster than that of Tongji.
Liu Zheng has been promoted from the sixth rank editor of the Hanlin Academy to the fifth rank scholar of the Hanlin Academy.
He had several wonderful performances in Jingyan and was praised by Emperor Jingshun.
In private, he became very close to Zhang Songyue.
Yang Mingxin also received a two-level promotion, from Editor to Attendant of the Sixth Grade.
It is similar to Feng Yibo’s previous lecture.
The promotion speed of these two people is already super high.
If Feng Yibo was still in the Hanlin Academy and honestly followed the Qingliu route.
The two of them may have been left behind at this time.
Fortunately, he went out for a while and was promoted to four levels in a row.
He directly overtook Liu Zheng, who was one level ahead, and became the doctor of the Ministry of Rites of the fifth rank.
The two of them were inevitably disgusted by this, but more than anything they admired it.
After all, compared to the two of them, Feng Yibo was actually rewarded for his meritorious service.
When the wine was in full swing, Liu Zheng took advantage of the alcohol and said with a smile:
"Yibo, you haven't been in the capital for the past six months. If you continue like this, my brother will catch up with you!"
Feng Yibo took half a year's leave and disappeared from the capital.
Their department is supported by just two people.
Now there is only one level difference between the two of them, and they may catch up at any time.
"oh?"
Feng Yibo put down his wine glass after hearing this.
He heard the string sound and knew its elegant meaning. He was only surprised for a moment, then smiled and said:
"It seems that Brother Haoran is going to be promoted again?"
"The word 'again' is used wonderfully!"
Yang Mingxin was shaking his head at the side, already a little tipsy, and said in his mouth:
"Haoran one day rides on the wind, and the blue clouds rise straight up to the third level!"
After reciting, he sighed with envy:
"Since Mr. Zhang Ge has talked to Haoran several times, he has really risen through the ranks, which is really enviable!"
Feng Yibo naturally heard about this.
Everyone has their own choices and their own circumstances.
The examiner of their subject is Zhang Songyue.
Liu Zheng relies on his master, and no one can make mistakes.
Hearing Yang Mingxin's slightly sour words, Liu Zheng just smiled and said:
"Although Brother Xinmin has the smallest official position among the three of us, hasn't he been promoted two levels in a row, far surpassing Tongji?"
Although he was right, Yang Mingxin shook his head and said:
"My cousin is an admiral after all, and he has some connections with various noble families, so he can speak to some extent."
"But I can upgrade two levels in a row, which is my limit. After that, I have to rely on myself."
The implication is that it was based on family background before.
Further up, it depends on ability.
Feng Yibo could hear his disappointment, raised a glass and consoled him:
"Brother Xinmin has been relying on himself for a long time. If he hadn't been ranked second in the rankings, he wouldn't have been able to become a student of the Hanlin Academy, even if his family was a prince."
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Fortunately, the Jia family is not here, otherwise I would be very angry after hearing this.
Although the Jia family came from the Duke's palace, they were all Yin officials or donated officials.
There is only one Jinshi in both houses, and he has become a monk.
Yang Mingxin obviously knew about this situation and couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Yibo has become close to Rongfu recently. He thought he was climbing a high branch, but instead of thinking about it, he just treated him as an ordinary relative?"
If Feng Yibo could say such words, Yang Mingxin would understand them as soon as he heard them.
This is no clinging, just normal interaction.
Otherwise, if these words spread today, he will lose his benefactor.
Liu Zhengzi also understood and smiled and shook his head when he heard this.
He also commented without hesitation: "Although the two countries belong to the same family, it has already started to go downhill. Yibo has done the right thing."
As he and Zhang Song got closer, he had no good impression of these people.
In fact, he somewhat despises these nobles who are mostly drunkards.
"If there is no more person to carry the cauldron in this generation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain it for two generations with Zu Yin alone."
In his eyes, Jia Mansion is now like a castle in the air.
The foundation is empty.
"Isn't Yibo the one carrying the cauldron?"
Yang Mingxin joked casually, until he couldn't help it, and said:
"It depends on whether he is willing to carry these two big cauldrons! Hahaha!"
Feng Yibo naturally shook his head and said:
"My two marriages are related to the Jia family, but after all, I am an outsider. Even if I carry the tripod, it will not be my turn."
The implication is that because they are relatives, they can move around.
It is also necessary to build some relationships through this.
But he had no intention of clinging.
Getting promoted and making a fortune depends entirely on yourself.
Even if the Jia family declines, he will not be implicated.
Those who can carry the cauldron have no such obligation.
The one who should carry the cauldron doesn't have the ability.
It can only be said that it is fitting that the Jia family has declined.
Of course, it's not without any improvement.
At this time, there was a descendant of the Jia family in the Feng Mansion.
Immerse yourself in the meaning of the scriptures and find it difficult to extricate yourself.
If there is anyone in the Jia family who can carry the cauldron, it may be that he has some talent.
It's a pity that the Jia family just muddle along and no one pays attention to these things.
Li Shouzhong was a great Confucian from Jiangnan with extremely profound knowledge.
He has also worked as a wine minister in the Imperial College for more than ten years, and has extremely rich experience in teaching and educating people.
The meaning of the scriptures he explained at this time was simply:
Extremely exciting and fascinating.
Of course, these are Jalan’s feelings.
And Jia Baoyu, who came with him, had long been impatient to listen.
Looking for an excuse, he ran to the back house to play with Daiyu.
The maid at the door couldn't stop him, so she let him break into the main room.
The You sisters knew that Daiyu was coming, so they also came to wait on her.
Suddenly a man walked in, but he couldn't avoid it.
It was inevitable to be a little embarrassed for a moment.
Fortunately, I saw that although he was a man, he was full of makeup.
With his hair in braids and decorations all over his body, you can tell at a glance that he is still a child who has not grown up.
As soon as he came in, he met Li Mengshi, Li Wan and others.
Just didn't expect it.
After Baoyu saw the gift, he also spotted the embarrassed You sisters.
The appearance and posture of the two sisters are both first-rate.
When Baoyu, a face-controlling person, took one look at it, he stood stunned on the spot.
When the two of them came to greet them, as soon as they introduced themselves, something felt wrong.
Baoyu was a little rude as he looked at the two of them infatuatedly.
After learning the identities of the two people, he couldn't help but sigh and said:
"It's a pity that these two characters are buried here."
Where does it not count as buried?
In your room?
These words are close to teasing at this time!
When the two sisters heard this, their expressions changed.
When Li Wan saw this, he quickly said:
"Brother Bao, don't talk nonsense. Although Feng Mansion is a real relative, don't lose your sense of proportion!"
If he were in Jia Mansion, Li Wan would never say such a thing.
Even if she is the eldest sister-in-law, she has this qualification.
But Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wang doted on her so much that it was not her turn to care.
It's just that this is her natal home after all, so naturally she can't watch Baoyu talk nonsense.
Although she was reprimanding him, she actually meant to protect him.
If he remained silent, it would be even more embarrassing for the Jia family.
When the You sisters and Feng Yibo file a complaint, she might not be able to come back again.
After all, she was the one who brought the treasure.
If he doesn't say anything, he won't have the face to see Feng Yibo in the future.
Daiyu on the side was extremely dissatisfied after hearing this, and she took on the attitude of a lady in charge.
Feng Yibo was away, so she protected the two sisters and said:
"Second brother, if you do this, please go back and don't bury you here again."
Baoyu knew that he had made a mistake and was a little embarrassed at this time.
Hearing the two people's attacks one after another, he quickly gave in and said:
"No, no, no, no, I just suffered from dementia. Please forgive me, sister-in-law and sister, and don't argue with me, a crazy person."
Ever since Daiyu came back from Jiangnan, her descriptions have become even better than before.
Although she still looks a little timid, she is not as sickly as before.
It turns out.
Whether Xizi is beautiful or not has nothing to do with whether you are sick or not.
After returning this time, Daiyu's face became a little more healthy and rosy.
From sick Xizi, he evolved into sports Xizi.
The charm is even better than before.
From time to time, he would jump with the sisters or do some poses.
Full of healthy vitality.
Every time Baoyu wanted to participate, he was turned away.
This makes this face-controller even more unable to control himself.
From time to time I go to Daiyu's place to eat, but I still enjoy it.
Daiyu couldn't bear to be disturbed, but the elders just regarded it as a child's play.
This time I learned that Sister-in-law Zhu was going to Feng Mansion to visit her parents with Jia Lan.
Daiyu also immediately asked Jia Mu to come with her.
Unexpectedly, Baoyu heard this and insisted on following.
Jia Mu asked him to go and see it.
The three Tanhua gathered together, and they must have been unable to conceal their elegant aura.
It would also be good for Baoyu to follow him to become more literary.
Unexpectedly, when he came here, he would not be able to be impressed by his literary spirit.
But he became crazy in the back house.
"Second brother is not young at all. He just stays in the house, but he breaks into the back house when he comes to other places. How can he behave like this in public?"
One is that Daiyu made use of the past to disturb her.
Secondly, in order to protect the You sisters, he showed no mercy to Baoyu.
"This is the Feng family. If it were another family, I would have kicked you out."
They attacked one after another, saying that Baoyu's face was always blue and red.
"Okay, okay, he's still a child, so it's normal that it's not serious."
Li Mengshi remained calm for a while and listened.
At this time, seeing Baoyu's ugly face, he spoke to protect him.
Then he smiled and said, "Come on, come on to my side."
Baoyu was already stunned by Daiyu's volley of words, and didn't know what to do when he heard the words.
At this moment, Feng Yibo came in.
He came back from Zhuangyuan Building, slightly tipsy.
But when I heard that Li Wan and Daiyu were coming, I thought of coming over to say hello.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Daiyu being reluctant and speaking plausibly.
Just as the maid was about to say hello, he quickly raised his hand to stop her and quietly entered the outhouse.
"On weekdays in Rong Mansion, Bao Bao naturally loves you, but after you come out, who cares who you are?"
Daiyu was full of firepower, and Baoyu was said to be completely helpless.
"As the saying goes: The most precious thing is treasure, the most solid thing is jade."
"Your name is Baoyu, but in the eyes of others, how valuable and strong are your actions?"
Baoyu hesitated and wanted to respond.
But for a moment he couldn't answer.
Daiyu suddenly saw Feng Yibo coming in and quickly suppressed her words.
She didn't want to leave a "reasonable and unforgiving" impression in front of Feng Yibo.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo came in and heard these last few words.
Although I don't know the cause, I also know that Baoyu must have made Daiyu unhappy.
After greeting each other, they heard the You sisters coming over to bite their ears.
After briefly understanding what happened, he greeted:
"Brother Baoyu is rare to come, and it is difficult to welcome him from afar."
"Don't dare."
Baoyu cupped his hand, which was considered a courtesy.
Feng Yibo didn't care about him and just smiled and asked:
"I always call Brother Baoyu by his first name. I wonder if he has a cousin name?"
Baoyu was depressed and couldn't bear to talk to him anymore.
But then he thought that it was Feng Mansion after all, so he shook his head honestly and said:
"No words."
"Then I'll take advantage of Sister Lin's words and give Brother Baoyu the title of Brother Baoyu."
Feng Yibo naturally knew that he had no confession, but this was what he was waiting for.
He pretended to ponder for a moment before continuing:
"The word 'baby' is the most appropriate word for Brother Baoyu!"
He had long heard that Baoyu randomly chose characters for Daiyu.
What a "frowning" was done.
It's not a serious word, more like a nickname.
As long as Daiyu shows a little sadness, the sisters in the mansion will use it to make her jealous.
Therefore, today he also used a joke to send the other party a similar word.
With Daiyu's intelligence, she naturally thought of the reason as soon as she heard it.
Realizing that her future husband was venting his anger on her, she suddenly blushed.
But at this time, she needed to take the opportunity to sit down and hold back her smile and asked:
"I wonder if there is a source?"
Baoyu was a little confused when he heard the word "baby".
Before he could react, Feng Yibo responded with a smile:
"That's what my sister said just now: the most precious thing is treasure, the most solid thing is jade."
"In my humble opinion, the most precious thing is sincerity, and the most tenacious thing is will."
Having said this, he looked at Baoyu and said seriously:
"Brother Baoyu only has sincerity for people, but no will to study, so he is a treasure and not a jade."
"And Brother Baoyu is so sincere..."
Having said this, he couldn't help but laugh, and immediately laughed and said:
"Why don't we call you 'baby' from now on! Hahahaha!"
Baoyu's face turned pale when he heard this.
He had already understood Feng Yibo's mockery.
It's a pity that there are no elders to rely on, and they are in the Feng Mansion.
I didn't dare to turn my face for a moment.
"It's really wonderful!"
Daiyu then touched her palms and praised again:
"Everyday I call you Mr. Bao, and the word "Er Bao" is attached to your title!"
Baoyu did not dare to fall out with Feng Yibo, so he could only say anxiously to Daiyu:
"Sister, don't listen to Brother Feng's nonsense. How can you say such words?"
Daiyu's face immediately turned cold, and she squinted at him and said:
"Hmph! You know how to say it, so the word 'frowning' is good?"
"Ah, this... is naturally good..."
Baoyu's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally could not be heard.
Only then did he realize that they were one family after all.
Feng Yibo is taking this out on Daiyu!
I thought it was an elegant word, but I didn't expect that Sister Lin felt like it was stuck in her throat.
Thinking of this, Baoyu suddenly felt discouraged.
But he was timid by nature, and he didn't dare to have an attack in Feng Mansion.
He had no choice but to turn around silently and summon all the maids and women.
Without waiting for Li Wan and Daiyu, he went back home directly.
When he arrived at the house, he went through the hall to transfer the ownership and went directly back to the house.
Xiren was working in the house. When he saw him coming back in disgrace, he stepped forward to greet him and asked:
"The second master didn't go to Feng Mansion, why did he come back on his own?"
Baoyu was feeling unbearable when he heard the attacker ask about it as soon as he entered the door.
He had nowhere to vent in his heart, so he kicked the attacker in the stomach.
This side kick hit the ribs.
Xiren let out an "ooh" and fell to the ground clutching his stomach in pain.
Baoyu was originally angry, but wanted to vent his anger by scolding him a few more times.
But when he lowered his head and saw Xiren crying after being kicked by him, he immediately softened.
He smiled and stepped forward to help him, and then casually found an excuse and said:
"I didn't know it was you, but where was the kick?"
