Jia Mu just came back from Xiaoci County recently and went to Ning Mansion to cry again.
How can an elderly person resist such sadness?
After repeated tossing, I felt my head was stuffy, my eyes were sore, and my nose was blocked that night.
Unable to hold on any longer, he fell ill and collapsed.
Everyone in the Rong Mansion was in a panic, and they quickly invited an imperial doctor to diagnose Jia Mu's pulse and prescribe medicine.
It took a lot of fussing for most of the night before I finally managed to stabilize myself.
Fortunately, the disease spread quickly and has never been spread.
At the third watch of the day, Jia Mu's beard was sweating a little.
Finally, my pulse became quiet and my body cooled down, and I no longer had a fever.
Everyone in Rong Mansion was relieved.
However, you still need to take medicine for treatment until the next day.
The Jia family had to go to Ning Mansion for funeral arrangements during the day, so they had to take turns coming to wait on them.
After Lin Ruhai got the news, he sent someone to send Daiyu to Jia's house.
Letting her serve her grandmother in front of the bed is not in vain for Jia Mu's love.
A few days later, everyone from Rongning to Ning went to attend Jia Jing's funeral.
Jia She, Jia Lian, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, etc. personally led their family servants and women to deliver the coffin to Tiekshu Temple until evening.
Jia Zhen and You's couple, as well as Jia Rong, their direct grandson, still stay in the temple to keep vigil for Jia Jing.
After a hundred days of guarding, the coffin can be returned to his hometown and buried in the ancestral grave of the Jia family.
The Ning Mansion only continued to entrust Mrs. You to take care of it.
Feng Yibo took the time to go over and see him off, and after paying his dues, he went back to the ministry to order.
Within two days, relatives from the Feng Mansion came to visit.
The Feng family is not prosperous and has no serious relatives for a long time.
There are only some villagers who are now working as managers in Nanyang.
The person who came was naturally not a relative of Feng Yibo.
They were Li Shouzhong's younger siblings, Li Wan's widowed aunt.
She brought her two daughters to seek refuge in Duzhong.
Li Shouzhong received a message that something was going on in the ministry and he couldn't get away for the time being.
Feng Yibo, a junior and a member of the Feng family, took the initiative to ask for help.
He returned home and asked people to prepare a carriage, and headed to the dock with Li Mengshi.
Welcoming Aunt Li and her family back to Feng Mansion.
Baochai took him out personally, and everyone gathered around him and took him to the couple's courtyard.
"Feng Yuan, his wife and concubines met my aunt!"
The two parties sat down in the room before the formal ceremony.
Along the way, Aunt Li knew Feng Yibo's identity from Li Mengshi.
At this time, he smiled and praised him:
"I often hear people mention it in the clan, saying that Yibo is my eldest brother's most proud disciple over the years. When I meet him today, he is really a talented person among people."
Hearing this, Feng Yibo felt a little confused.
Even if he is Li Shouzhong's proud disciple, not everyone in the Li family knows about it, right?
Even if Aunt Li was just exchanging pleasantries, it was obviously a bit exaggerated.
He immediately said:
"Auntie is so complimentary! It's just that I was wrongly loved by my mentor!"
Unexpectedly, Aunt Li saw his modesty and added:
"Previously, with your donation, the Li clan's ancestral hall and clan school were renovated, and a lot of sacrificial fields were filled. Everyone in the Li clan is grateful for your benefits. How can you still be so humble?"
Feng Yibo was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was spinning at the same time.
Only then did I realize that what Aunt Li was talking about was what happened a few years ago.
Before spring of that year, the Japanese pirates fled to the south of the Yangtze River and arrived at Fengjiazhuang.
After Feng Yibo led his men to defeat them, he wanted to take over twenty carts of goods as his own. ….But he was just a scholar at that time, and he was weak in power.
If you want to take advantage of those assets, the risk is extremely high.
In order to divert others' attention, we also seek some shelter.
He distributed the goods among several cartloads.
Two of the cars were delivered to Li Shouzhong's house.
Unexpectedly, when Li Shouzhong accepted his belongings, he actually saw his little thoughts?
He didn't take any benefit himself and returned all the belongings to the clan.
He also specifically pointed out that it was given by Feng Yibo.
Obviously, this was to take over the matter and silently protect Feng Yibo from the wind and rain.
Maybe many people covet it and are blocked because of this.
Thinking of Li Shouzhong's secret protection, Feng Yibo was moved and said quickly:
"I don't dare to take credit for this matter. It was a filial piety given to my mentor and my wife at that time, and it was the kindness of the two elders to donate it to the clan."
Li Mengshi obviously knew about this and smiled when he saw this and said:
"As the head of the Li family, I should do something for the clan. Yibo knew what he was thinking, so he helped out."
Feng Yibo got off the donkey, nodded repeatedly and said:
"That's right. It's all because my mentor wanted to give back to the clan. What I did is not worth mentioning."
Aunt Li just smiled when she heard this and said nothing more.
She turned to look at Baochai and praised again:
"The Feng family's daughter-in-law is the eldest daughter of the Xue family, right? I've heard of the eldest daughter of the Xue family in Jinling earlier, but I didn't expect that when we meet today, they won't be as good as Eleven!"
When Baochai saw her, he quickly blessed her and said:
"Auntie's reputation is only due to the praise of her elders."
Seeing how humble both husband and wife were, Li Mengshi smiled and joked:
"You husband and wife don't have to be careful. You deserve what she said."
When everyone heard this, they all showed kind smiles.
Aunt Li also smiled, and then made way for the two girls beside her, saying:
"These are your two sisters, Wen'er Qi'er. I haven't met my brother and sister-in-law from the Feng family yet."
The two of them had already met Li Mengshi on the road. When they heard their mother introducing the young couple, they hurriedly came forward to meet them.
A pair of beautiful people gave each other a blessing and said softly:
"Hello, brother and sister-in-law."
Li Wen and Li Qi are both in their prime, fourteen or fifteen years old.
His appearance is very iconic, and he also has a gentle and bookish aroma.
She looks elegant yet youthful.
It makes people feel happy when they see it.
Seeing this, the young couple quickly returned the gift.
Feng Yibo naturally didn't want to comment too much, but Baochai smiled and praised:
"The two sisters are really like immortals. They look at Sister-in-law Hezhu coldly, and it's obvious at a glance that they are from the Shili family."
The two of them couldn't help but feel a little shy when they were praised in person.
But she is a girl after all. After hearing this, she bowed generously and said:
"Sister-in-law has won the prize, how can we protect her from the worst?"
"Our sisters are no more beautiful than a willow tree, but the Feng family's sister-in-law is as beautiful as Qiu Ju and Chun Song. We are enviable."
Several people on both sides exchanged a few words with each other, and Li Meng briefly introduced the You family sisters, Miaoyu, and Xiangling's concubines.
After everyone on both sides saw each other one by one, Li Mengshi asked everyone to sit down again.
As soon as Aunt Li sat down, she remembered that Baochai had just mentioned Li Wan. .... Then he looked at Li Mengshi curiously and asked:
"Sister-in-law, we haven't seen the palace judge for a long time. How are she and Lang Ge'er doing?"
Li Mengshi heard this and replied with a smile:
"Please keep them in mind. After we arrived in Duzhong, she and Lan'er came here often."
At this point, she sighed softly before continuing:
"Well, it's just that it's a national mourning and a funeral in the Jia family recently. I guess I won't be able to get away for a while."
Aunt Li just came from Jiangnan, so she obviously didn't know about Jia Jing.
She was a little surprised when she heard this, and said hesitantly:
"It's the in-laws' side..."
Seeing her misunderstanding, Li Mengshi hurriedly explained:
"It's not the Rong Mansion, it's the Grand Master's funeral in the Ning Mansion. It was sent a few days ago."
When Aunt Li heard that it was not Li Wan, she was slightly relieved, and then sighed:
"Speaking of which, I should pay a visit to the elders of the palace judge's house. When I came here, I was traveling with the relatives of his eldest family, which would be a great help."
"oh?"
Li Mengshi was stunned when he heard this and said doubtfully:
"A relative of the Jia family in Rongguo?"
Aunt Li nodded and started speaking from the beginning:
"The three of us came out from our hometown and chartered a women's boat. But after all, we are all women, so it is very inconvenient to travel."
"I never expected that when I arrived at the pier, I happened to meet two groups of people docking. After talking, I found out that they were all relatives of Rong Guo."
The Li family is a large family in Jinling, so they will naturally not let three women go on the road alone.
Because they happened to meet these old relatives, the tribe went back.
Only a maid and a woman were left to follow the mother and daughter.
"One of them is the brother-in-law and sister-in-law of the eldest son of the Rong family, and members of the eldest family of the Wang family."
The eldest son of the Rong Mansion naturally refers to Jia Lian.
The Wang family's big room is exactly the room of Wang Xifeng's family.
She also has an older brother named Wang Ren.
Wang Xifeng's senior generation has lost the title of Wang family.
Therefore, Wang Ziteng, who was born as a Jinshi, became the backbone of the family.
First he became the patriarch of the Wang family, and then he became an official in Beijing.
He also took the position of the governor of the Beijing camp.
Now that he has been promoted step by step, there is no need to say more.
But Dafang stayed in the Jinling clan and lived by guarding the family business.
Only Wang Xifeng's daughter came to Duzhong after marrying into the Jia family.
Now that Wang Xifeng has "passed away," I don't know what Wang Ren will do when he comes to the capital.
"There is another one, Mrs. Dafang's brother, the eldest son of the Xing family, and the female members of his family."
The uncle of the Xing family she was talking about was Mrs. Xing's brother.
Xing Zhong, the eldest son of the Xing family.
"When the two sides talked about it, it turned out that they were all relatives and came from the same road."
It just happened.
Mrs. Xing's father died long before Mrs. Xing left the cabinet.
Xing Zhong separated from his family at that time.
Now that he is too depressed to survive, he has no choice but to seek refuge with Mrs. Xing, who is in charge of the Xing family's business.
In addition to Xing Zhong, the eldest son of a concubine, the Xing family has three sisters.
There is also a legitimate son, Xing Dequan.
When Mrs. Xing left the cabinet, except for Xing Zhong who was separated.
The other sisters and brothers are still young.
She relied on her status as the eldest daughter to control all the Xing family's belongings.
Today it is still managed and run by her roommate, Wang Shanbao's family.
Therefore, Xing Zhong couldn't survive, so he brought his wife and daughter over to seek refuge with Mrs. Xing. ….I just want to redistribute some of the family property to live on.
But Sister Qiaofeng's brother Wang Ren also wanted to go to Beijing. The two families were in-laws, so they came to help each other.
When we were halfway to mooring the boat, we met Aunt Li and her two daughters who were also going to Beijing.
They all said they were relatives, so the three families walked together.
"After getting off the boat, they all went to Jia's Mansion in Rongguo. Only the three of us sent someone to deliver a letter to my eldest brother, and then we waited at the dock."
After hearing this, Li Mengshi nodded and said hesitantly:
"The funeral has just been held in Rong Mansion these days, and the old lady is ill again, so it's inconvenient to disturb her."
Having said this, she pondered for a moment and then said:
"Let's wait for a while! After a few days, let's bring some gifts and go for a walk together."
Aunt Li was self-righteous. She nodded when she heard this and said:
"When I get here, I naturally follow my sister-in-law's arrangements."
After the two parties chatted for a while, Baochai settled the mother and daughter next door to Li Shouzhongyuan.
Feng Yibo had arranged for people to clean the place early.
In fact, the Li family also has property in the capital.
But when the mother and daughter came here, they naturally went to Li Shouzhong and his wife.
Therefore, Aunt Li did not refuse.
Taking the Li sisters and a group of maids and women, they moved in.
When Li Shouzhong returned home from his busy work, Aunt Li and his daughter met again one by one.
Li Shouzhong asked about some clan affairs, so there was no need to mention them.
At night, Feng Yibo and Baochai lay hugging each other.
The couple were having sex, and they talked about it again.
"After I left, they talked about the reason for their trip. What do you think they did in Duzhong?"
Feng Yibo had passed his sage state at this time and was about to make a move.
He was also playing with the ends of Baochai's hair in his hands.
When Baochai spoke, he was absent-minded and just asked casually:
"do what?"
Baochai felt a little itchy and chuckled twice.
Pushing away his mischievous hand, he said:
"It turns out that Aunt Li came here to ask the master and the old lady to help find a good family for their two daughters."
Li Shouzhong's younger brother died early, and Aunt Li only had these two daughters.
The three mothers depend on each other and live in the clan without worrying about their livelihood.
But now, both daughters have reached the age of marriage.
If we only rely on them as orphans and widowers, we will only know a limited number of them in Jinling.
So Aunt Li thought of Li Shouzhong, who had already reached the rank of Shangshu.
She came here to ask the old couple to help both sisters find a good family.
Of course, he also wanted to take advantage of Li Shouzhong's influence to raise the worth of his two daughters.
"No wonder."
Feng Yibo had actually guessed Aunt Li's purpose a long time ago, so he wasn't surprised when Baochai told her.
His hands were still fighting against Baochai's collar, and his answer was extremely perfunctory.
"snort!"
Baochai knocked his hand off angrily and said:
"These two girls from the Li family are born with the same talents, and they are as beautiful as flowers."
Speaking of this, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
In turn, he hugged Feng Yibo and asked:
"What do you think about giving it to Brother Tadou?"
Xue Pan came back from Mei Hanlin and has been taking care of the family business with Xue Pan.
Although Feng Yibo hasn't seen him much, he also knows that his second uncle is quite talented.
Don't blame Baochai for plotting against him. ....To be honest, anyone who meets him will feel that he is more like Baochai's brother than Xue Pan.
Only then did Feng Yibo understand what Baochai meant.
After going around and around, it turned out that I was thinking of marrying Xue Biao.
He didn't say whether it was okay or not, but asked:
"Why don't you think about your eldest uncle? Instead, you think about your second uncle."
When Baochai heard this, he felt a little aggrieved and said:
"Do you think my brother is worthy of such an elegant flower?"
"Forehead……"
Feng Yibo didn't expect that Baochai would say that to Xue Pan.
He frowned a little and wanted to say a few words for his uncle.
But I heard Baochai say again:
"My brother needs to find someone who can run the house, like, like..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly felt a little depressed and sighed before saying:
"Oh! It would be nice to be like Feng Lazi."
Speaking of Wang Xifeng, Baochai was obviously a little sad.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng’s father are biological siblings.
Baochai and Wang Xifeng are cousins.
Compared to the other sisters in the Jia family, the two are a bit closer.
Feng Yibo felt somewhat guilty when he heard her mention Wang Xifeng.
Even the hands that had been causing harm stopped.
"Forget it, don't be embarrassed for now."
At this time Baochai shook his head again and said:
"I'll discuss it with my mother in a few days and let her see each other."

Confused and helpless, I remind you: Remember to collect after reading this
