"The house here has been packed up, and I'm thinking of bringing my sister over to live with us."
As soon as Lin Ruhai returned to the capital, he sent people to clean up the house.
I just felt comfortable living here, so I never moved there.
But after finishing his work recently, he sent someone to contact his sister who arrived in Duzhong first.
Speaking of this, Lin Ruhai added with a smile:
"Also, Miaoyu."
"I see."
Feng Yibo was slightly embarrassed when he heard this.
Because he thought Lin Ruhai meant to do as promised.
Let Miaoyu become a concubine and go to Feng Mansion to spread the branches and leaves for him.
Since he already had the You sisters, he had nothing to do with it.
Don't be in a hurry.
However, Lin Ruhai didn't say it clearly, and Feng Yibo wouldn't mention it more.
I can only talk about the elders first and said:
"If Auntie is willing, you might as well live here together."
"Forget it."
Upon hearing Feng Yibo's invitation, Lin Ruhai shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"She is not in good health. I am in a hurry to move her away and also want to take her back and nurse her back to health."
Lin Ruhai always thought that his sister and Miaoyu were visiting Guanyin ruins and Beiye relics.
That's why I haven't contacted Jia Zheng.
But when he sent someone over, he discovered that it was his sister who started to fall ill when she arrived in Duzhong.
He has been lingering on the sickbed to this day.
Thinking of the health plan Feng Yibo had made for him.
Meat, eggs, milk, soy milk, etc. are all available daily, as well as top-quality bird's nests.
Think again about what my sister ate in the temple...
He sighed softly and said:
"After all, a temple with clear soup and little water is not a place to recuperate."
Feng Yibo patted his chest when he heard this and said:
"Since my aunt is ill, it would be better to take her here to serve her. As a junior, I should show some filial piety."
He has developed a lot of experience in helping people recover from their illnesses.
In particular, the Lin family father and daughter are both frail and sickly.
Nowadays, there are many aunts from the Lin family who should be familiar with them.
"No need, just go over and meet me then."
Lin Ruhai refused again and said:
"She'd better be clean, I'm afraid she won't come here."
After a pause, fearing that Feng Yibo would think too much, he added:
"But you are Daiyu's future husband. Come and meet me when the time comes."
Thinking of her sister's temperament, Lin Ruhai sighed:
"If it weren't for this relationship, I'm afraid she wouldn't be willing to see her."
"Oh well."
Having said this, Feng Yibo naturally no longer forced it.
He nodded and said:
"Then when aunt moves there, I will definitely pay her a visit."
Afterwards, Lin Ruhai said goodbye to Li Shouzhong again and hurriedly started moving.
Feng Yibo personally took the people and moved there quickly.
The Lin family's house is not far from Feng Mansion.
Just to the north, about five miles away is Qiantang Hutong.
About three days later, Lin Ruhai sent someone to ask Feng Yibo to meet him.
The next day happened to be Xiumu, and Feng Yibo had an appointment with Jia Lian and the others.
First, let someone tell them to arrive later, and then went directly to the Lin Mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the house, the servants all recognized him.
There was no need to wait for any communication, and he was taken directly to the main hall.
After a while, someone came out and asked him to meet him in the main room.
Feng Yibo came to the main room and saw Lin Ruhai and Daiyu there as soon as he entered the room.
In addition, there was an old nun on the kang and a female monk with hair.
Feng Yibo quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"I've met my uncle!"
Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile and introduced the old nun next to him:
"This is the Yibo I just told my sister, and he is also the future husband of Daiyu and Miaoyu."
The old nun nodded slightly, and Lin Ruhai said to Feng Yibo:
"This is my sister, just follow Daiyu and call her aunt."
Feng Yibo quickly stepped forward, bowed deeply and said:
"Yibo has met my aunt!"
I saw this aunt, wearing a beige monk's robe and a monk's hat.
The broad sleeves of the monk's robe made her extremely thin.
The cheeks are somewhat sunken and the eyes are slightly cloudy.
The whole person is described as withered and skinny.
You can tell at a glance that something is wrong with you.
Feng Yibo couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Are all the Lin family members so weak?
This aunt definitely did not exceed the heavy metal limit.
But it looked scarier than Lin Ruhai's time.
"Amitabha! I have been paying attention to Yibo's news since I came to the capital."
Aunt Lin clasped her hands together, her hands so thin that the joints and blood vessels were clearly visible.
She was obviously smiling, but because she was too thin, her smile looked a little ferocious.
She didn't speak loudly, but fortunately her enunciation was still clear.
I heard her say again: "You are young, you have reached the top of the imperial examination, and you have both civil and military skills. You are one of the talents of the country."
"Many high-ranking officials, both inside and outside, are full of praise for Yibo."
Feng Yibo waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this and said modestly:
"My aunt is so flattering that I cannot deserve it."
"You don't have to be humble. As a monk, I don't lie. What I say is what I see and hear."
Aunt Lin spoke with a sense of certainty, as if she should be like this.
Then he smiled and said: "I am about to die, and my only concern is Miaoyu. Ruhai entrusts her to you, and I feel at ease."
"Master!" Miaoyu frowned and shouted softly.
It's not that he is shy, but that he doesn't want Aunt Lin to talk about life and death lightly.
Aunt Lin naturally understood, turned around and said to her with a smile:
"Have you not met your Feng brother before?"
After hearing this, Miaoyu suppressed her worries and obediently stepped forward and bowed:
"I've met Brother Feng."
The ceremony she saw was a Buddhist ceremony, not a woman's blessing.
Feng Yibo was a little puzzled, and he looked at it while returning the gift.
I saw her wearing a wonderful permanent crown on her head, a paddy field robe over her head, and holding a rosary in her hand.
Miaochang Guan is named after the heroine Chen Miaochang in "The Story of the Hosta".
This is a well-known...
Sifan nun.
The paddy field clothes are made of plain square pieces of cloth and are not only worn by monks.
Many aristocratic ladies also regard it as fashion.
Overall, he is actually half a monk and half a layman.
But at a glance, anyone could tell that he was practicing with his hair on.
When Feng Yibo looked at her, Miaoyu also looked at Feng Yibo.
He knew that this was the husband his father had found for him.
Miaoyu was satisfied after hearing that she was a top talent.
She considers herself to be as elegant as a scholar, but she is not so arrogant as to dare to compete with Tanhua.
She was always dissatisfied with the fact that she could only be a nun.
However, the way her master taught her, she did not show any emotion.
Before Feng Yibo came in, she also met her sister for the first time.
The sisters only met each other as a courtesy and had no in-depth understanding.
While Feng Yibo and Miaoyu were looking at each other, Lin Ruhai smiled and said:
"I have people watching. Tomorrow is a good day."
Everyone in the room knew what he was going to say when he heard about the auspicious day.
Sure enough, Lin Ruhai continued:
"When Yibo has someone carry Miaoyu over, my previous promise will be fulfilled."
This matter has been decided long ago, and there is nothing to say.
Just when Feng Yibo was about to agree, Miaoyu suddenly said:
"Wait! Father, forgive me!"
When Lin Ruhai heard this, he immediately frowned and looked at Miaoyu.
I saw her take two steps forward and said solemnly:
"Miaoyu has been with Master since I was a child. Master raised me."
No one else understood what it meant, except Aunt Lin who looked at Miaoyu with a loving expression.
She understood what Miaoyu was going to say, so she interrupted:
"Good boy, don't say any more."
"Master, please let me finish!"
Miaoyu glanced at Aunt Lin aggrievedly.
"Amitabha!"
Aunt Lin understood her temperament best. She sighed after hearing this and recited the Buddha's name.
Miaoyu looked at Lin Ruhai with a stubborn look and continued:
"Now that Master is ill, please allow me to serve you at the bedside."
Only then did the others suddenly realize that they were all moved by his filial piety.
Especially Daiyu felt quite emotional when she heard this.
I had always thought that the person who was going to be her concubine was a clan relative.
Only today did she find out that this Miaoyu was actually her half-sister.
Raised by her aunt, her father has hardly fulfilled any responsibilities.
Therefore, it is human nature to have a better relationship with my aunt.
"When she gets better, we'll talk... and then we'll talk about other things!"
This other person is naturally Feng Mansion’s concubine.
Speaking of this, Miaoyu paid homage and said harshly:
"Please father, please fulfill your daughter's filial piety!"
This time it seemed that he was begging Lin Ruhai.
In fact, when Lin Ruhai and Aunt Lin discussed this matter before,
At that time, Miaoyu said that she was devoted to Buddha and had no intention of seeking Buddhism.
At least not now.
However, these words were ignored by the two elders.
Aunt Lin had known about this marriage and Miaoyu's temperament.
It was because he knew that her earthly destiny was not over yet, otherwise he would not have brought her to Duzhong.
It's just that they came at the wrong time.
When he arrived in the capital, Feng Yibo happened to go to Jiangnan.
Coupled with physical reasons, it has been delayed until now.
Although she didn't go to Jia's house, Aunt Lin also sent someone a letter.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai only found out from Jia Zheng.
The residence of their master and disciple is in the Muni Courtyard outside the west gate.
Now, Miaoyu is in front of Feng Yibo again.
Although he didn't say he didn't want to pass, he gave it an excuse to postpone it.
For Lin Ruhai, it seemed like coercion.
"It's a good thing that you have filial piety, and I won't stop you."
Lin Ruhai was unhappy in his heart, but still looked pleasant on the outside.
He just echoed the previous sentence and then changed the subject:
"But you becoming the wife of the Feng family does not affect your filial piety."
He smiled, but what he said later was like a gun and a stick, and said:
"The Feng family is not like a dragon in a tiger's den. Can I still tie you up with one move?"
"When you pass the door, you can come back to visit your aunt at any time."
As he spoke, he looked at Feng Yibo and asked:
"Really! Yibo?"
What can Feng Yibo say?
He nodded and was about to exchange a few words.
Daiyu, who had been silent until now, stepped forward to give a big gift.
Kneeling next to Miaoyu, he said sincerely:
"Father, Sister Miao is very filial, so please make it happen!"
Miaoyu glanced at her in surprise.
Some people can't figure out why this sister wants to speak for herself.
When she thought about it, Daiyu had been favored by thousands of people since she was a child.
She should be a young lady who has no one in her eyes.
Looking at it now, it is a gift of knowledge and courtesy.
He's not a bad person either.
But I have always been thinking of the left?
After Daiyu said this, she tilted her head and looked at Feng Yibo.
His eyes were full of expectation, as if he was pleading:
"I think brother Feng must also want to fulfill his filial piety in front of my aunt, just like he did in front of you before."
"But it just so happened that Sister Miao took his share with her."
Her words made Lin Ruhaidun feel embarrassed.
Especially with Feng Yibo as his son-in-law, Lin Ruhai naturally refused to bow his head easily.
So he could only frown and remain silent.
Lin Ruhai's goddaughter, it was hard for Feng Yibo to interrupt.
But when Daiyu spoke now, he naturally wanted to give her face.
"Uncle Rongzhen, I think there is no need to rush this matter."
Feng Yibo also bowed profusely at this time and knelt in a row with the two of them.
I don’t know, I thought I had paid my respects to the High Court in advance!
"My aunt has always been served by Miss Miaoyu. If she leaves suddenly, I'm afraid she won't be used to it."
Feng Yibo knew very well that what was needed at this time was not prayer.
Instead, find a similar level for Lin Ruhai.
Otherwise, he would not be able to come to the stage and would not agree to this matter.
"Why don't we wait until my aunt gets better? It just so happens that my aunt can be a witness for us. Does uncle think this is okay?"
Since Daiyu was interceding for Miaoyu, Feng Yibo naturally had to side with the two daughters-in-law.
And he also knew that although the two were sisters, this was the first time they met.
Daiyu is like this, obviously she also wants to make peace with Miaoyu.
What he didn't know was that Daiyu only found out in the past two days.
Miaoyu is her half-sister.
"What Yibo said makes sense!"
Seeing Feng Yibo say this, Lin Ruhai also took steps.
He nodded reluctantly and said to the sister next to him:
"How about waiting for my sister to get better and be a witness for the two little ones?"
"Amitabha! Everything is fine with me!"
Aunt Lin was already moved when she heard Miaoyu's words.
Naturally, it became clear at this time that her previous statement that she was devoted to the Buddha was just an excuse.
I want to stay and take care of myself.
She raised her hands to support her and said excitedly:
"You are all good children, get up quickly!"
In this way, the matter is settled.
Miaoyu couldn't leave the house for the time being and stayed to serve Aunt Lin.
Daiyu will not return to Jia's house for the time being, but will fulfill her filial piety in front of her aunt.
By the way, spend some time with Miaoyu.
Let's say that Feng Yibo stayed for a while, then excused himself from the appointment with Jia Lian.
Lin Ruhai and Aunt Lin chatted about old things and reminisced about their past.
Miaoyu found an excuse and excused herself.
Before going out, he glanced at Daiyu.
Daiyu then told her the truth and followed him out.
As soon as she came out, Miaoyu took Daiyu to her house.
Without saying anything, he fanned the stove and poured water on it.
Made another pot of tea.
Daiyu wasn't sure what she was going to do.
After I followed him, I found a futon in the house and sat down.
Waiting for Miaoyu to ask the maid to bring the tea cup, she sat across from Daiyu.
Only then did she realize that she was going to treat herself to tea.
Although Daiyu was not good at this, she could still tell that the tea set in front of her was extraordinary.
In front of her was a small bowl-shaped bowl with three beaded seal characters on it.
"Dianxi?" is engraved on it.
It looks quite ancient.
It can be roughly understood as: a bowl-shaped container made of rhinoceros horn.
Miaoyu said nothing and poured a cup of wine with Daiyu.
Then he poured it into the green jade bowl where he usually drank tea.
Seeing that Miaoyu was very strange, she didn't say anything.
Daiyu took a sip of the tea in front of her and opened the topic:
"Sister, this tea is extremely light and mellow. It's my first time to try it, but what's the point?"
This can be considered a sentiment.
She is not proficient in tea ceremony, and she only drank rough tea before.
Now I almost don’t drink.
This was because Feng Yibo was helping his father and daughter to take care of themselves.
The father and daughter were asked to drink less tea and to ban strong tea.
So as not to affect sleep.
So Daiyu hasn't had tea for a while.
I don’t even drink tea very much, and I have never tasted this taste.
"The tea is just last year's Mingqian Biluochun tea."
Miaoyu also took a sip and explained:
"I've been in Duzhong this year, and I didn't get any new tea at home, so it's not that good. I just want you to have a familiar taste."
At this time, Biluochun from Suzhou was one of the most popular teas among scholars.
The ancestral home of the Lin family is in Suzhou.
The two sisters drank Biluochun tea, which was a taste of their hometown.
But before, Miaoyu could taste the best Biluochun tea of that year.
Now there are some flaws.
In fact, this tea is considered top-notch in the city.
If you are not knowledgeable, you will not be able to tell the difference at all.
But at this moment, Miaoyu only felt that it was a pity that it was not a new tea.
because……
"But you should know that this water is different."
