Feng Yibo felt a little strange when he received Jia Lian's post.
They usually stay at Xiaohuazhi Lane, why did they make an appointment at Rongfu today?
But he didn't think much about it.
After all, Jia Lian had a good relationship with him, and even the outer room would not go behind his back.
Feng Yibo was also related to the Jia family and often communicated with him.
Speaking of which, the two of them had never gotten together in the mansion.
This is somewhat abnormal.
But when Feng Yibo arrived at Rongguo Mansion with the post, Jia Lian was nowhere to be seen.
With their relationship, it would be considered an invasion.
No one will think there is any problem.
But the premise is that Jia Lian must be at home!
at this time.
What was waiting for him in the main hall was not Jia Lian, but Jia Lian's main hall.
The one who once amazed him was Wang Xifeng.
"Yo~! Come on, brother Yibo, come and sit here!"
Wang Xifeng was sitting in the main hall, with Jia Baoyu at hand.
Seeing Feng Yibo come in, Baoyu didn't move.
He just sat there, looking at the tea bowl in his hand with an aggrieved expression.
You know, he's always like this.
For those who don’t know, they think Wang Xifeng is angry with him.
But that’s not wrong.
Because Baoyu came to work as a tool to give Wang Xifeng face.
Wang Xifeng stood up to greet Feng Yibo, bowed to Feng Yibo, and said:
"Your second brother Lian has something to do at the moment, so please tell me to entertain you first. He will arrive later."
As he spoke, he pointed at Baoyu, the tool man beside him, smiled and apologized:
"No, I called Baoyu to accompany me. I just hope that Brother Yibo will not blame our Jia family for being rude."
The news of Wang Ziteng's reward spread quickly.
In the back house of the Jia Mansion, the two people in charge were both women from the Wang family.
Although he didn't say anything, everyone knew that his arrogance would increase even more.
Especially Wang Xifeng.
The news came out that her uncle had made meritorious service in the border area and was rewarded by the emperor.
It's easier to earn money outside.
In the past few days, my whole face has been full of youth and my body has become lighter.
The only troublesome thing is that Jia Lian always comes back very late.
It seems that he has been busy with the garden these days.
In addition, he also told her that he had some serious business with Jia Zhen, Feng Yibo and others.
The two things are superimposed, and it makes sense that he will become busier.
But every time Wang Xifeng asked about it, Jia Lian would tell him not to mind his business.
Or he smells of alcohol and just says he wants to discuss business.
Sometimes he even stayed up all night.
Fortunately, Jia Lian did hand over a lot of money to her, so Wang Xifeng couldn't say anything else.
But every time Jia Lian didn't come home all night, Wang Xifeng would come back from his dream at midnight.
Still can't help but have a little doubt.
So she started investigating.
"Since Second Brother Lian is busy, I won't disturb my sister-in-law, so as not to have to ask Brother Baoyu to keep me company."
Feng Yibo did not take his seat. After hearing this, he turned around and wanted to leave. He also said:
"When Brother Lian is done with his work, we brothers will get together again."
He had already realized that today's banquet was definitely not organized by Jia Lian.
You can tell at a glance that "wine is not good wine, and banquet is not good banquet."
Although it is not for his "Hongmen Banquet".
But if the situation is not handled well, Jia Lian may be sent away.
The feast will continue for several days.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said urgently:
"Wait! Brother Yibo, why are you so anxious?"
Ping'er heard the sound and appeared at the door, blocking Feng Yibo's path.
"Uncle Feng, wait a moment. My grandma has a few more words to say. It won't be too late for you to leave after listening."
Feng Yibo looked at the master and servant, one behind the other.
And Baoyu, who was struggling with the teacup, laughed and said:
"What? Second brother Lian is not here, and second sister-in-law Lian still forces me to stay as a guest. Aren't you afraid that gossip will spread?"
These words were a bit frivolous, but they were actually reminding Wang Xifeng.
I still care about my reputation and don't want to get involved in some bad things.
Although Wang Xifeng understood, she still rolled her eyes at him and said angrily:
"Didn't you ask Brother Bao to accompany you?"
Even if Feng Yibo said something clearly, she wouldn't believe it.
Besides, it's just a hint.
When Feng Yibo saw this, he sighed helplessly:
"Brother Baoyu's reputation isn't very good, right?"
This is not groundless.
After all, no one in the Jia family knew about it.
This second master Bao is out of tune.
Wang Xifeng was really brave for daring to use him as a companion.
Even Jia Zheng rarely called Baoyu to accompany him.
In order to avoid improper response and lose the face of Rong Mansion.
Jia Baoyu was still fighting against the tea cup and had no reaction at all to Feng Yibo's words.
Wang Xifeng knew Baoyu best and was not afraid of his anger, so she said quietly:
"At least he's better than Brother Jane, isn't he?"
This is really not necessarily the case.
After all, both of them have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Jia Zhen just has a bad reputation, but she treats people and treats well.
Jia Baoyu just couldn't see people, but he didn't have a dirty reputation.
In Wang Xifeng's words, there was more resentment towards Jia Zhen.
Before looking for Feng Yibo, she naturally looked for Jia Zhen first.
She knew that Jia Lian was doing business with Jia Zhen and Feng Yibo.
Moreover, Jia Lian was not asked to contribute capital, and he was only asked to contribute to the management.
So it’s okay to be busy.
But Wang Xifeng still had doubts.
Some of the reasons came from Jia Zhen.
Although wealthy families are inevitably a little bit dirty.
But due to the poor reputation of Ning Mansion, Rong Mansion would inevitably have to stay away sometimes.
Outsiders may just think that Jia Zhen is just messing around.
But both houses knew about Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, father and son, and Jia Qiang's activities.
Even though Jia Qiang moved out, her contacts with Ning Mansion never stopped.
Even this time, Jia Qiang got an excellent job when repairing the provincial villa.
On behalf of Jia Zhen, he led the two sons of the Lai family, as well as Jia Zheng's Qing guests Shan Pinren and Bu Guxiu.
Let's go to Jiangnan to hire teachers and purchase girls.
There are also things like buying musical instruments.
A total of thirty thousand taels of silver were withdrawn.
It's definitely a top-notch fat one.
Without this relationship, Jia Zhen would not have given him such an errand.
Although in this era, like Baoyu and Qin Zhong, they are nothing.
But both father and son share the same...
Regardless of gender, it still gives people chills.
Wang Xifeng asked Jia Zhen and Jia Rong.
He also asked Jia Lian's confidants Xing'er and Long'er to examine him.
But no matter which side it is, everything is said to be watertight.
After all, Jia Lian was busy with the business of several people.
All the money earned was also given to her.
Wang Xifeng naturally didn't believe it, so she complained about Jia Zhen.
He also asked Lai Wang to investigate secretly.
Feng Yibo heard the resentment in it and followed the words:
"I heard that Sister-in-law Lian and Brother Zhen grew up together. Wouldn't it make him sad to hear this?"
This was what Jia Zhen and Jia Lian said casually when they were drinking together.
It's not a secret either.
Growing up with them was Xue Pan.
Um……
It's more or less like flocking together.
"Humph! We grew up together and know each other's tempers!"
Wang Xifeng snorted coldly when she heard Feng Yibo say this.
He then pointedly said: "Unlike Brother Yibo, I'm not that familiar with you."
The meaning of this saying is similar to "knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts".
Just criticizing Feng Yibo.
"It seems that Brother Zhen is not sad, but I am going to be sad first."
When Feng Yibo heard this, he pretended to sigh aggrievedly and said:
"Others may not be familiar with her. Second sister-in-law Lian has dealt with me many times and she still doesn't know me well."
Wang Xifeng hinted that he was hiding something, but Feng Yibo refused to accept the move.
Instead, we started from the "unfamiliarity" in his words.
Wang Xifeng immediately rolled her eyes at him angrily and said angrily:
"Fortunately, the one named Baoyu today is Baoyu. If it had been someone else, these words would have been enough for me to bear."
Feng Yibo naturally knew that what he just said was a bit frivolous.
But this is what he wants. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said:
"Even if it's Baoyu, let's not delay any longer."
He didn't want to entangle any more, so he bowed slightly and said goodbye:
"Second sister-in-law Lian said she would just say a few words. Now my legs are numb from standing. It's time for me to leave."
After saying that, he walked towards the door, but Wang Xifeng didn't let go behind him.
"Wait! There are only two more sentences this time."
As he spoke, he added resentfully:
"You're leaving in such a hurry, are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
Ping'er was still blocking the door, and Feng Yibo couldn't force himself.
He could only look back and smile helplessly, jokingly saying:
"I dare to love my second sister-in-law, she has such a clear understanding of herself."
After speaking for a moment, Wang Xifeng looked at him curiously.
Just listen to Feng Yibo pretending to be surprised:
"You actually know that you are a tigress in the eyes of others?"
"Asshole! You!"
Wang Xifeng suddenly had an angry look on his face.
This time he was really annoyed. When Feng Yibo saw this, he quickly apologized:
"Just kidding! Second sister-in-law Lian, don't blame me!"
Without waiting for Wang Xifeng to respond, he changed the topic and said:
"Second sister-in-law Lian, if you don't talk about the topic, I will really leave!"
He really didn't want to get entangled.
The matter of Jia Lian raising his wife has nothing to do with him.
But it must not come out of his mouth.
Wang Xifeng was about to get angry.
But after hearing Feng Yibo's words, he suddenly thought of something and revealed a charming smile.
"Brother Yibo, don't worry, let me just sit down and talk."
Feng Yibo refused: "Brother Lian is not here, and Brother Baoyu is not a trouble maker. I really can't stay too long. Besides..."
Without letting him continue, Wang Xifeng said quietly:
"Little Huazhi Lane, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Yibo's heart skipped a beat.
"What did Sister-in-law Lian say?"
He could only pretend to be stupid first, while his heart was spinning.
Thinking about this situation, how else can we break the situation.
"Brother Yibo, please stop pretending to be stupid with me."
Wang Xifeng smiled sweetly, as if she had everything under control, and said:
"If I really know nothing, why should I come to you?"
Feng Yibo couldn't figure out for a moment whether she knew everything or was just testing.
While his thoughts were spinning, he also looked careless and said with a smile:
"Second sister-in-law Lian is joking. If you have anything to ask, why not tell second brother Lian? You can't talk to me, right?"
Wang Xifeng completely ignored Feng Yibo's words and only said:
"I want to know how much your second brother Lian earned from your business."
Having said this, she looked at Feng Yibo with a sad face and said in a serious voice:
"I want him to spit it out exactly as it is."
"Second sister-in-law Lian is forcing herself to do something difficult."
After hearing this, Feng Yibo had some thoughts in his mind.
But he didn’t figure it out for a while, so he just continued in an official tone:
"These are all business secrets. No matter whose business it is, the accounts will not be disclosed to others easily."
Wang Xifeng sneered when she heard this, stood up and came to Feng Yibo, saying:
"It's okay if you don't say anything today. I'll have people go to Xiaohuazhi Lane to cause a scene tomorrow."
When he said this, he paused slightly, with a hint of ridicule on his face.
"At that time, everyone will know that you told me."
Obviously, I found Feng Yibo today and went to Xiaohuazhi Lane tomorrow.
Anyone can relate to it.
"Second Sister-in-law Lian's move is really cruel."
Feng Yibo sighed after hearing this.
But there was no worry on his face, instead he smiled and said:
"But you may have forgotten something."
After hearing Wang Xifeng say about going to Xiaohuazhi Lane, Feng Yibo filtered out the matter.
"What?"
Wang Xifeng was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
"You know more or less whether this business is profitable or not."
Feng Yibo showed a sneer and said sarcastically:
"That's why you had the idea instead of just going there to cause trouble, right?"
Wang Xifeng felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, because the words hit her right in mind.
If it hadn't been for this, she would have launched an attack when she discovered Xiaohuazhi Lane in Laiwang.
Instead of calling Feng Yibo and asking for specific accounts.
"But have you ever thought about what would happen even if you go and make trouble?"
Feng Yibo took a step forward, and the two stood face to face.
He asked in a low voice: "What if Brother Lian and I turn against each other?"
Without waiting for Wang Xifeng to answer, he answered by himself:
"It's nothing more than me kicking brother Lian out and leaving you and your wife in vain."
As soon as these words came out, the initiative changed instantly.
Wang Xifengtan, who was just arrogant just now, opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Anyway, as for Brother Zhen, all the connections in the Jia family will still be used."
"Without Brother Lian, I can bring in another person to take care of the business."
Feng Yibo looked indifferent, which made Wang Xifeng grit his teeth.
"you!"
Seeing her like this, Feng Yibo became even more energetic and continued:
"This person can repair and repair the Duke's mansion."
"Maybe it's not the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, but it could be Concubine Zhou, Concubine Wu, or other newly wealthy family."
Speaking of this, Feng Yibo raised his voice a little and said:
"Ouch, if it weren't for Second Sister-in-law Lian, I would never have thought of this!"
Those who didn't know what he said meant that he was thanking Wang Xifeng.
At this time, he still asked Wang Xifeng in a decent manner:
"How about Second Sister-in-law Lian go and make a scene?"
Feng Yibo raised his hand as he spoke.
A finger was hanging just under Wang Xifeng's chin.
"Or, how about I do something with my sister-in-law here, and we just fall out?"
Of course, he just wanted to make a gesture.
I never thought about actually meeting him.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng was afraid that he would touch her!
Seeing him pointing his hand towards his chest, he lowered his head reflexively.
As soon as his fingers touched his chin, he couldn't help but murmured:
"Hmm~"
Skin like cream?
Of course, it could really be Rouge.
Feng Yibo pulled his fingers back as if he was electrocuted.
I saw Wang Xifeng's face turned red.
"Wait a minute! Let me finish."
Feng Yibo took a step back, raised his hand and stretched out his five fingers.
Make a healthy expression.
"Ahem!"
As soon as she cleared her throat, she saw Wang Xifeng was about to explode.
Feng Yibo was so anxious that he began to pull back frantically:
"Speaking of which, second brother Lian is not bad at all."
"But after all, she's not as good at dancing as Second Sister-in-law Lian!"
