Feng's study room.
Li Shouzhong and Lin Ruhai both looked anxious.
One came up with a look of hatred on his face and scolded:
"Yibo, you are confused!"
The other one also echoed, but said with a regretful face:
"Yes! What you did, Yibo, is really unwise!"
As soon as the two of them left the court, they immediately rushed here.
When Feng Yibo returned to his home, his buttocks were not even hot.
He was called to the study by his mentor and father-in-law.
Rounds of bombings began immediately.
Li Shouzhong looked puzzled, feeling that his disciple shouldn't be so impulsive.
"A small impatience will ruin a big plan! If you act on your own initiative and leave with your crown hanging, how can the Holy One dare to use you in the future?"
Lin Ruhai looked frustrated, feeling that he failed to stop his son-in-law, which led to this result.
"If I had known you would do this, I might as well have broken off the engagement in front of the court to avoid ending up like this!"
The two of them said something to each other, but Feng Yibo responded with a smile.
"Teacher, uncle, please sit down first and let's talk slowly."
He invited them to sit down.
"Look at the tea!"
He called for tea again, and took a sip first without hesitation.
After the person serving tea left, he said:
"Teacher, uncle, don't worry. I can't tell you the reason why I did this."
The two of them were suppressing their emotions, waiting for his explanation.
But when they heard such an answer, they all stared blankly.
Feng Yibo saw his expression and quickly comforted him:
"But please don't worry, two elders, I will not remain depressed. Sooner or later, I will return to the court as an official."
Seeing both of them frowning, he added in a low voice:
"Besides, don't you still have the honorary title?"
In fact, the title is still the title: Prince of Donghai County.
But he couldn't say it.
The two of them didn't believe that he had any back-up plans, and they just thought he was trying to comfort him.
Now that I hear what he says, how can I bear it?
When Li Shouzhong heard this, he immediately said angrily:
"What does your title mean?"
Lin Ruhai also sighed and echoed:
"That's right! He has no real job, and he can't be hereditary. He's just a show-off."
Feng Yibo naturally knew the weight of his position as captain of the light carriage.
There is no actual position, and it cannot be hereditary.
It is an honorary title awarded purely after meritorious service.
Of course, there are some benefits.
In addition to having a more valuable status, you can also receive money and food corresponding to the level.
After all, there is a salary.
"You two, listen to me first."
Feng Yibo knew that if nothing was revealed today, the two of them would be worried.
He immediately smiled and asked:
"Let's put it this way, if I don't leave without hanging up my title, I have no choice but to take up my post elsewhere, right?"
The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Even if he followed Zhang Songyue's arrangement and went to Honglu Temple.
I'm afraid I have to stop here.
But it’s better than this!
Lin Ruhai had been hesitating and couldn't help but said:
"If it doesn't work out, I'll break off the engagement..."
"uncle!"
Feng Yibo immediately interrupted him and asked:
"After Daiyu and I got engaged, we have been in love. Do you really have the heart to break us up?"
Lin Ruhai thought of Daiyu, shook her head, and said with a bitter smile:
"I don't want to, but other than that, what other possibilities do you have for making a comeback?"
He had thought a lot along the way, but it was all a cakewalk.
You can’t have it both ways.
There was always a guess in Li Shou's center, so he asked:
"Do you think Donghai County would not be able to break away from the Wei Dynasty without you?"
He always felt that Feng Yibo was not an impulsive person.
If you don't have some confidence, you will naturally not do this.
Now the only one Li Shouzhong can find is Donghai County.
However, he was a little hesitant.
I feel unreliable.
"Teacher, it's really not convenient for me to say the specifics."
Although Li Shouzhong guessed it to some extent, Feng Yibo still couldn't tell the truth.
But he could only reveal a little bit, saying:
"It's not that I don't trust you two, but I don't want to involve Donghai County's secrets."
"secret?"
Both of them were stunned.
Li Shouzhong frowned in thought.
What kind of secret can make Feng Yibo feel that he can transcend etiquette?
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He asked with hope:
"You mean, what secret does King Donghai have that would make it impossible without you?"
Although Feng Yibo said it was a secret, he was still a little worried.
"That's pretty much it."
Unfortunately, Feng Yibo nodded but did not explain any more.
"Nonsense!"
Li Shouzhong patted the table at this time and scolded:
"Even so, you have already resigned. How can you guarantee that he will keep his promise?"
In his opinion, even if Feng Yibo had some involvement with the Duke of Donghai.
It can't surpass the benefits that Da Wei can bring to the other party!
"that is!"
Lin Ruhai also sighed and echoed:
"Even if he has some tacit understanding with you, how can you guarantee that the Holy One will go out of his way to ignore all the opinions and etiquette?"
This is even more to the point.
Even if Donghai County declares its separation from the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Jingshun may not be able to break through the shackles of etiquette.
"I really can't say."
Feng Yibo shook his head.
Seeing that both of them were a little annoyed, he gritted his teeth and revealed a little more, saying:
"Okay, okay, I can only tell you that without me, there would be chaos in Donghai County!"
This is already the maximum explanation. Any more may expose the identity.
"It's hard to go into details, but I'm absolutely sure."
Although Feng Yibo spoke extremely confidently, the two of them were obviously still worried.
Li Shouzhong also pointed out the loopholes in this plan and said:
"Such an act will only make the Holy One taboo!"
If it had to be Feng Yibo, then Donghai County would be just as the censor who impeached him said.
The one who voted was Da Wei, the one who voted was Feng Yibo!
"I don't want to do this either, but other than that, there is no other way to break the situation."
Although Feng Yibo's words were filled with helplessness, he obviously didn't take it seriously.
"Besides, it doesn't matter whether the Holy Emperor has taboos or not. What matters is whether I can do things for him."
Speaking of which, he added with a smile:
"How can a saint who is dedicated to being the most virtuous king not tolerate a person who can do a good job for him?"
Lin Ruhai still looked worried because Feng Yibo didn't answer his question.
Moreover, he felt that this son-in-law was still too young, and even thought it was a problem with Li Shouzhong's education.
Because these words are obviously somewhat bookish.
He sighed and said:
"It is a taboo for ministers to presume on the Holy Will!"
Unexpectedly, these words were approved by Li Shouzhong.
He nodded and agreed:
"Anyone who thinks they know the Holy One well is probably close to death."
It is normal to speculate.
But if I feel that my guess is accurate, that is the real taboo!
"I know that the power of God is unpredictable, but at least as far as I know, the Holy One only wants to
Be Li Shimin. "
Feng Yibo couldn't reveal too much about Donghai County, let alone his own plans.
But in this matter, there is nothing to hide.
"Then what's wrong with me being Wei Zheng?"
The two looked at each other, still looking helpless.
When Li Shouzhong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Wei Wenzhen is not easy to do!"
Wei Zheng's greatest contribution was to recruit and surrender Li Shiji.
This is similar to Feng Yibo.
It's just that he continued to make mistakes throughout his life.
He often offended the emperor.
However, Li Shimin himself once said:
Fang Xuanling was the first in assisting before Zhenguan.
After Zhenguan, Wei Zheng ranked first.
Even in Lingyan Pavilion, Wei Zheng ranked fourth.
This shows its status in Li Shimin's heart.
In any case, the two were barely appeased.
Although he still looked sad, he wasn't as anxious as he was at the beginning.
Li Shouzhong even thought that the worst case would be to wait.
After the limelight passed, he personally wrote a letter to recommend it.
Even if you can't continue to serve in the Ministry of Rites, as long as there is a vacancy, you can still be a minister or the head of other departments.
Seeing that Feng Yibo didn't take it seriously, Lin Ruhai calmed down a bit.
I thought that in the worst case, if I didn't retire early, I would have no problem ensuring that my son-in-law had enough food and clothing.
Afterwards, Li Shouzhong returned to his yard.
Feng Yibo sent Lin Ruhai away and returned to the west courtyard.
When he saw Baochai making love on the kang, he immediately went over and hugged her.
"Be careful, don't prick you."
Baochai moved her hands away in a panic, for fear of hurting her husband.
Seeing that the relationship between her uncle and the girl was so good, Ying'er suppressed her smile, took the needle and thread and quietly left.
He even kept the door closed.
As soon as he went out, Feng Yibo immediately ignored it and buried his face in Baochai's arms.
He said with a greasy mouth: "Baochai, I will leave my job today, and I will have to rely on you to support me from now on."
After all, Baochai was her nickname, and Feng Yibo only occasionally called her in private.
Always call me ma'am.
"ah?"
Baochai couldn't help but sigh softly, but it was not because of Feng Yibo's words.
Instead, Feng Yibo rubbed around in his arms, making him feel a little itchy.
She patted Feng Yibo's back gently and said with a smile:
"Don't be joking."
Obviously she didn't believe it and just thought Feng Yibo was a little tired.
Complain to yourself.
But then I heard Feng Yibo mutter again:
"To be honest, if someone was impeached in court today, I would go back home and prepare to rest for a while."
Baochai would have to know about this sooner or later, it would be better for him to say it himself.
However, what Feng Yibo didn't expect was that Baochai was just stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Then, he gently stroked the hair on the back of Feng Yibo's neck.
Then he placed his chin on his head and said softly:
"Although I don't know what happened, I hope everyone is fine."
When Feng Yibo heard this, his whole body suddenly relaxed.
Just let Baochai stroke his head.
Originally he was afraid that Baochai would be worried about him, so he said it in this way.
He seemed a little unruly, but in fact his whole body was tense.
Always be ready to comfort Baochai.
But what I didn't expect was the words he prepared.
There’s still time to say.
After hearing this, Baochai not only didn't need his comfort.
He even started to comfort him.
"If you resign, just resign. I believe these outside matters have their own ideas."
Speaking of which, treasure
Chai paused for a moment.
Feng Yibo's heart tightened again, and he was about to say words of comfort.
But he heard Baochai continue:
"If I don't want to be an official anymore, then we will do something else."
It turned out that Baochai had already begun to think about her future life.
"You gave me the one hundred thousand taels, and I haven't touched any of it, plus my dowry..."
Hearing this, Feng Yibo was already a little moved.
Unexpectedly, Baochai not only did not complain, but also began to seriously plan her life after resigning.
Whether it's true or not, it's obviously taking care of his mood.
If you really get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
"We can buy a house and land, become country squires, or we can do some business with my brother."
Having said this, Baochai smiled.
Something seemed to come to mind.
She hugged Feng Yibo gently and continued:
"With my ability, no matter which line of work I do, I believe we can live a good life."
Feng Yibo raised his head, kissed her forehead, and said solemnly:
"Baochai, don't worry, I am resigning on my own initiative, which is a retreat in order to advance."
Thinking he was comforting her, Baochai smiled tenderly when he heard this.
"I came here specifically to tell you, just to prevent you from having random thoughts."
Feng Yibo held her head in his arms and said firmly:
"After I hibernate for a while, I will definitely go back to serve as an official."
What happened in Donghai County was a secret that he couldn't tell.
In the capital, he didn't tell anyone.
It's not that I don't trust them, it's just that the stakes are too high.
He didn't say anything about Li Shouzhong because his mentor was devoted to serving the country.
Telling him would only put him in a dilemma.
He didn't tell Lin Ruhai because his father-in-law had a delicate mind.
Having said that, it is inevitable to worry too much, and it may even harm your body.
Although the husband and wife were one, he didn't say anything about Baochai.
The fewer people who know about this, the safer it is, and the fewer people who follow it with fear.
After hearing Feng Yibo's words, Baochai buried her head in his arms and said softly:
"No matter what you do, I will spare no effort to support you."
Her determination could be heard in her words, and Feng Yibo also felt her sincerity.
At this time, I heard Baochai continue:
"You don't have to worry about me. Even if you go back and continue growing vegetables, I'm still willing to follow you and run the farm together."
This is talking about the old house in Jinling, where Feng Yibo used to lead Fengjiazhuang to live a good life.
Obviously, Baochai was trying to make things easier for Feng Yibo.
"Okay, so you're waiting for me here!"
Feng Yibo said cooperatively after hearing this, and then said:
"Speaking of growing vegetables, how are the greenhouses in our garden doing this year?"
Duzhong is much colder than Jinling, so growing vegetables in winter is not as easy as before.
But this is not difficult for Feng Yibo.
When he was building the garden, he set aside a special place.
A large greenhouse was built.
On the surface, it looks very different from other houses, but this is to unify the architectural style.
The house over there not only has an earth dragon, but also an iron stove.
The windows have also been enlarged.
On the windows, thin white oil paper is used.
Made of window paper.
When the sun shines, the room becomes bright.
In winter, the greenhouse is very hot.
Occasionally when the weather is nice, open the windows for some fresh air.
Just suitable for growing vegetables and flowers.
"I also went to see it in the morning. There was a batch of persimmons and cucumbers. The flowers were dipped a month ago. The persimmons were more than half a month earlier than the cucumbers."
Baochai is in charge of all affairs in the house, so he naturally knows about the greenhouse, and he said with a smile:
"Aunt Meng said that this way, we can eat it during the Chinese New Year.
The freshest ones. "
Although there is a greenhouse, harvesting is not always possible.
After all, vegetables also have a growth cycle.
Therefore, in order to have a continuous supply, Feng Yibo asked people to divide them into several batches and plant them.
"When this batch comes down, pick some fresh ones and send them to your mother-in-law and brother-in-law for a taste."
When he heard that he could pick it years ago, Feng Yibo nodded and added:
"I will go with you."
"Um!"
Baochai smiled and nodded.
At this moment, the sun seemed to shine into the room.
It makes people warm.
What was thought to be a family turmoil just disappeared.
Feng Yibo also had a deeper understanding of Xue Baochai's virtuousness.
She has a calm and indifferent temperament about her.
It seems like nothing can break this beauty.
Unknowingly, Feng Yibo felt more and more good about Baochai.
It was a gentle force that made his heart calm.
Forget about the commotion outside for a while.
"Baochai, it's great to have you."
"Master, let's do it together."
