Baochai changed her usual virtuous appearance and became jealous in front of Feng Yibo for the first time.
Of course this is not just a petty act.
After all, she was not Daiyu, so how could she be so jealous?
In fact, Baochai was warning Feng Yibo.
Enough is enough.
What she cares about is not that Feng Yibo has a concubine, nor is Yingchun any threat to her.
But I don't want him to be merciful at all times.
Feng Yibo actually knew this very well.
But he had to get Baochai's approval for this, otherwise it would be even harder to explain.
Fortunately, with a little kindness, Baochai was finally coaxed.
This confession and jealousy are all over the place.
It's a bit of tacit understanding between the couple.
With Baochai's approval, Feng Yibo stopped delaying.
He took action the next day.
First, someone posted a message to Jia Lian and his son, specifically emphasizing that they wanted to invite Jia She to have a meal together.
He expressed that he would discuss the future relationship between the two families.
Jia Lian didn't understand what Feng Yibo meant, but he still sent the letter.
Jia She was a little confused when he received the invitation.
But in the end, I gladly went to the appointment.
He knew that Feng Yibo was Jia Lian's god of wealth, and he was eager to get a piece of the pie.
The two parties did not meet at home, but in the private room of Zhuangyuan Building.
"Uncle, my nephew rarely has the opportunity to have a drink with you, but his relationship with Brother Lian is like a real brother, so you are also like my father."
After chatting for a while, Feng Yibo began to try to get to the point.
As he spoke, he personally served Jia Sheman and said:
"I heard that my uncle has been short of money recently. I have some here, so you might as well use them first."
As soon as these words came out, Jia Lian looked at Feng Yibo in surprise.
I really don’t know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.
Feng Yibo has always been very kind to him.
It was so good that Jia Lian was at a loss sometimes.
A few days ago, Feng Yibo just recognized his eldest sister as his daughter.
Also gave valuable gifts.
He called his father out again today. What was he doing?
Does this mean that even his father should help him to be filial?
After thinking about where to go, Jia Lian remembered what happened a while ago.
When he and Feng Yibo were drinking, they complained a few times about his father's behavior.
It is said that Jia She has plundered almost all his private money.
The moment he thought of this, Jia Lian's face turned pale.
I don’t blame him for thinking too much.
Mainly Feng Yibo, who has stood up for him many times,
The first time he complained, it was Jia Lian who took the initiative to blame him.
Then Feng Yibo helped him "solve" Wang Xifeng.
The second time you complain is really just a complaint.
But Feng Yibo helped him "solve" Xia Shouzhong again.
Then complain this time...
After all, Jia She is his father, so it can't be "solved", right?
"Um?"
Not paying attention to the fear on Jia Lian's face, Jia She was stunned when he heard this.
But he didn't think about anything else, but frowned and asked:
"What does Yibo mean? But you want to ask me for something?"
Feng Yibo's position in the court was stable and he was a civilian official.
Logically speaking, there is nothing you can ask for from him.
But Jia She thought about it and decided that this was the only possibility.
Otherwise, why would you give him money?
Jia She was short of money, but he also knew that no reward would be given without merit.
There is no free money in this world.
But when he asked this question, he was also prepared.
No matter what Feng Yibo wanted, he wanted to try it.
no way!
Who makes him short of money?
Seeing that Jia She was very wise, Feng Yibo smiled shyly and said:
"It sounds like I do have something to ask for, but I'm just afraid that my uncle will be angry if he hears it."
Let the daughter of a well-established family be a concubine.
Anyone who hears this will be angry.
"angry?"
Jia She frowned slightly, but couldn't think of any reason to be angry after giving him money.
He raised his glass and touched it with Feng Yibo. After finishing the drink, he looked at Feng Yibo with some confusion.
Waiting for his answer.
Feng Yibo also drank the wine in his glass, put on a warm smile, and continued:
"I just want to give my uncle some money, but I'm afraid he won't accept it."
He went around and around, actually trying to whet Jia She's appetite.
When Jia She heard that there was money to spend, he had already become interested.
Now I heard Feng Yibo say that he was afraid that he would not accept the money.
Jia She suddenly smiled and said domineeringly:
"I refuse to accept it? As long as you can afford it, I will spend it all!"
This is not Jia She’s bragging!
When it comes to being a prodigal, no one in the Jia family can compare with him.
Jia Lian only made small fuss, and Jia Zhen was only extravagant and lustful.
What can compare with his wide range of hobbies?
Jia She is not only addicted to wine and sex, but also likes collecting antiques, tasting delicacies, fighting cocks and running dogs, carrying caged birds, and prostitution houses...
It can be said that he is master of everything!
Like a dandy, Xue Pan is the younger brother in front of Jia She.
"Uncle knows that three generations of my family have been passed down by a single family. When it comes to my generation, I am the only male left."
Feng Yibo took a look and found that Jia She was already interested.
Immediately he started to feel miserable and sighed:
"The fact that the Feng family is not prosperous has always been a worry for me."
Everyone knows this, and there are even imperial gifts and ancestral gifts for this.
Jia Lian was also a little confused when he heard this.
He didn't know how Feng Yibo could talk about his life again.
Jia She was even more confused and didn't know what to do with him.
"No, I met a wandering Taoist priest a while ago. He gave me a divination and told me that I can't take concubines casually, otherwise I will be born with a daughter."
Feng Yibo started to make things up in a serious manner, as if it was a Taoist letter.
Having said this, he sighed and said:
"Oh, this is a weird thing to say. You can't believe it! Just a while ago, didn't my aunt at home give birth to a daughter for me?"
Jia She didn't know this, so he glanced at Jia Lian.
Jia Lian didn't know what Feng Yibo was going to do.
Seeing his father looking at him, he nodded.
It's an acknowledgment that it's true.
"I asked at that time. I said that since the master saw it, could you explain this matter to me? If I can give birth to a son, I guarantee that the master will not waste his power in vain."
Feng Yibo's remarks seem to be nonsense.
But Jia She already believed it.
After all, in this era, high-ranking officials and dignitaries are generally superstitious.
If nothing else, let’s talk about the Jia family.
If something goes wrong, someone should be sent to perform a ritual ceremony.
On Jia Mu's birthday, Baoyu went to the temple to kneel and pray.
Jia She was naturally not surprised by this.
However, he still didn't understand what Feng Yibo wanted to do with him.
Could it be that the secret recipe of the wandering Taoist priest requires the cooperation of the elders to give birth to a son?
"The Taoist priest took my money and then counted it with his fingers! Uncle, guess what?"
Seeing Feng Yibo's enthusiasm in speaking, Jia She also said very cooperatively:
"What's wrong?"
"This...that...tsk!...Oh!"
When Feng Yibo said this, he remained silent.
He also sighed heavily.
It seems that things are a bit difficult to talk about.
Seeing this, Jia She became more curious and asked:
"How to solve it?"
After hearing his question, Feng Yibo seemed to have made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said:
"The Taoist priest said that if the Feng family wants to spread its branches, it needs someone close to the elders, me, and my wife, as well as the second-ranked girl. Only someone with such a fate can give birth to a son for me. Only then can the Feng family successfully pass on the incense."
Feng Yibo walked around, naturally trying to find a step for Jia's mansion.
Otherwise, if you directly propose to Yingchun as your concubine.
That's not a marriage proposal, that's a slap in the face!
After Jia She heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was saying.
A family that is close to Feng's elders, himself, and his wife.
Of course it’s Rong Mansion!
Speaking of Feng Yibo's elders, the first thing that naturally comes to mind is Li Shouzhong.
Li Shouzhong and Rongfu are in-laws.
Feng Yibo himself had a close relationship with Jia Lian, and even recognized Sister Qiao as his goddaughter.
The two wives are even related to Rong Mansion.
From Daiyu's point of view, Jia She should be called uncle.
From Baochai's point of view, Jia Zheng should be called uncle.
Then the second girl.
It goes without saying that this is about welcoming the Spring Festival, right?
No wonder you found me!
"Crack!"
Jia She slapped the table, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Yibo, have you drunk too much?"
He is not stupid, he has understood.
Feng Yibo walked around, thinking about welcoming the spring!
Kerong Mansion is a noble house after all, so how can a concubine be a concubine?
Unless it's someone with a higher title than him!
Such as the king of the county, such as the emperor.
Even though Feng Yibo said it politely, it was still a slap in his face!
"Snapped!"
Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo also slapped the table at this time.
But there was no sound from Jia She's clap.
"This is ten thousand taels. Uncle, take it and spend it first."
Good guy!
It turned out that what he was photographing was a stack of money orders!
No wonder the sound is muffled and not as crisp as Jia She's shots.
Jia She was stunned for a moment and looked at the thick stack of money orders.
He seemed to be calculating whether he had ten thousand taels.
After a while, Jia She pursed his dry lips and said forcefully:
"Although I, Jia She, am short of money, I will not sell my daughter!"
As soon as he said this, he was actually showing weakness.
They all admit that they are short of money, so what else can they do to support themselves?
It's just that Jia She's calculations were flying in his mind, but he still wanted to lose face after all.
It's not that I don't want ten thousand taels, but I don't want to lose my place in front of a junior like Feng Yibo.
"Snapped!"
Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo took out a stack of money orders from the small package and said with a smile:
"Fifteen thousand taels, is it enough to hire my second sister to be a good concubine?"
No matter how rich you are, you have to be more restrained.
Feng Yibo didn't give away 10,000 yuan, but added 5,000 yuan at a time.
This is not because Feng Yibo cannot afford it, but because Sun Shaozu almost succeeded with only five thousand.
Then paying double or triple the price yourself would be enough to sway Jia She.
In this case, why give more?
Sure enough, Jia She was shaken when he saw this.
At this time, he no longer had the decisiveness just now, but hesitantly said:
"This...it's not easy to explain to the old lady."
He just discussed with Jia Mu about Sun Shaozu, how to make Yingchun become a concubine instead.
If you do this, you may run the risk of being scolded.
"Snapped!"
When Feng Yibo heard this, he received another stack of money orders.
After adding more money, he smiled and asked:
"Twenty thousand taels, maybe the old lady told me?"
Jia She's eyes were already bright at this time, but he still did not let go, but said:
"But I promised the Sun family in Datong that as long as I nod, they will start practicing the six rites..."
In fact, at this point, it's almost time for Feng Yibo to give up.
However, he didn't want any new changes in the good situation.
So he emptied the package, poured it all onto the table, and continued:
"There are a total of twenty-five thousand taels here. In the end, the five thousand taels will be returned to Mr. Sun."
What he meant was obvious.
I've paid off the debt for you, so what's the reason for refusal?
"this……"
Jia She didn't know how Feng Yibo knew that he took Sun Shaozu five thousand taels.
I just thought it was Jia Lian who mentioned it to someone, but didn't think much about it.
At this time, he only looked at Feng Yibo eagerly.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
keep going!
Don't stop!
However, this time Feng Yibo did not pay any more.
He felt that it was almost done.
Not only did he not pay, but he started sorting out the money orders he had just taken out.
While sorting it out, he glanced at Jia She from the corner of his eye and said:
"I also know that this request is a bit presumptuous. It would be bad if it hurts the relationship between the two families."
Feng Yibo sorted out a thick stack of money orders and knocked on the table.
Putting it back into the small package before, he sighed again and said:
"Alas! If it weren't for that wandering Taoist priest, I wouldn't have paid so much money. Since uncle doesn't want to, then forget it."
Come and try it quickly. 】
As soon as these words came out, Jia She was already a little anxious.
He even stretched out his hand to stop Feng Yibo from putting away the money order.
But he woke up in time and retracted his hand.
At the same time, he showed a somewhat flattering smile and tentatively said:
"Well, I have also prepared four maidservants for the Spring Festival, but they are all carefully selected. Look at Yibo..."
As soon as these words came out, Feng Yibo stopped packing.
He looked up at Jia She, who looked a little embarrassed.
After a while, Feng Yibo frowned and said:
"Whether you are willing or not is a matter of a word from my uncle. All I can offer is twenty-five thousand taels."
As he spoke, he weighed the packaged money order in his hands and said:
"To be honest, with this money, ten concubines are enough, let alone one."
Seeing that Jia She's eyes were still on the package, his eyes were full of reluctance.
Feng Yibo knew that most of the matter was already done.
He smiled again and said indifferently:
"As for the maids, one hundred taels can buy ten good ones. What does uncle think?"
Jia She naturally knows the market.
Although it's not enough to buy ten of the best ones at one hundred taels, it's still enough to buy ten good ones.
The scene fell into a brief silence.
After a long while, Jia She suddenly said:
"Fifty thousand taels, plus help me take care of Sun Shaozu's affairs."
After saying this, Jia She's breathing began to become rapid.
He was actually a little out of control, for fear that Feng Yibo would refuse.
"Uncle, you are a bit of a lion talking now."
After hearing this, Feng Yibo opened the package again, showed his chips, and said:
"That's all, if it works, forget it."
When Jia She heard this, he was immediately disappointed.
However, he also knew that he was in the wrong, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
He knew that Feng Yibo was rich, but he didn't expect that he would be so willing to do it for a woman.
Even if this woman is his daughter, Jia She doesn't think it's worth it.
After all, she is just a concubine, and she has no intention of marrying her back to be his wife.
He hesitated, but still didn't want to give up easily, so he started bargaining again and said:
"I will give you ten thousand taels as a dowry for Yingchun, including the four maids, and I will ensure that it will be delivered to your house in perfect splendor."
Having said this, he looked at Feng Yibo eagerly and asked:
"how?"
This is equivalent to a transaction price of 40,000 taels.
As long as Feng Yibo nodded, it would be done immediately.
However, Feng Yibo smiled, shook his head and said:
"To be honest, I don't think it's great."
