Shortly after Gouzi left, Feng Yibo wrote a memorial and handed it over.
In fact, after the war, the Japanese country had resumed trade relations with the Wei Dynasty.
As long as Donghai County doesn't stop them and these Japanese women break up into pieces and cross the sea in batches, Wei Dynasty will not interfere too much.
Even if he is discovered and impeached by the imperial censor, Feng Yibo can just stop him.
But in order to prevent Donghai County from making the first move and being criticized in the future.
Feng Yibo decided to report the matter to the Ming court.
In the memorial, he not only stated the request of Japanese women to come to the Wei Dynasty to "work".
By the way, I also mentioned that Japanese girls who can’t speak are likely to fall into prostitution.
Presumably, Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet were aware of the subtleties and could understand the relationship.
The court hasn't responded yet, so let's not mention it for now.
Just say Wu Feitu is leaving, the day will soon be sixteen.
Early in the morning, there was a lot of traffic outside Feng Mansion.
Servants gathered in groups to escort the girls and wives of Jia's family.
Daiyu's carriage and horses also arrived together.
It goes without saying that they came to Feng Mansion to participate in the poetry club.
Jia Lian got the news and told the inner house.
When Li Wan heard about it, he began to organize people.
First, Baoyu was asked to bring Daiyu and Xiangyun to Rongfu in advance, and then he and Tanchun settled all the affairs.
Then he asked Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and other elders for instructions.
The two of them knew that she hadn't visited her parents for a while, so they naturally wouldn't stop her.
What's more, with Baoyu's help, the process was naturally smooth.
Jia Lian and Baoyu stayed in front and were received by Feng Yibo and the Xue brothers.
There is nothing much to say about a group of men having a banquet in the hall.
Shan said that the female relatives went to the backyard and met some elders first.
Then they all went to Baochai Courtyard to receive the reception.
The main courtyard was soon filled with laughter and joy.
The table is filled with rare items from overseas, fresh fruits and vegetables, and all kinds of snacks.
These are not unusual in the Feng family, but they are a feast for the other girls.
Even the wives and concubines of the Feng Mansion felt that today's snacks were particularly delicious and sweet while chatting while eating.
The girls were very lively, but Yingchun found that something was wrong with Tanchun beside her.
She seemed to be joking with everyone, but occasionally she would become slightly absent-minded when no one was paying attention.
There was a hint of sadness between her eyebrows that she had never seen on her face before.
The girls chatted and laughed for a while, then they all got tired.
Baochai arranged for them to rest separately for a while, and they would open the club in an hour.
Yingchun took the opportunity to take Tanchun back to his courtyard and let Xiuju watch from outside.
Only the two sisters were left in the room, and she asked why.
"Tan girl, what's wrong with you today? You look like you've lost your energy, and you look sad. That's not like you!"
Tanchun usually looks forward to Shenfei.
He has a lively and cheerful personality and speaks openly.
But just now, Yingchun felt that her smile was a little forced.
Others may not be able to see something, so how can the best sister not see it?
When Tanchun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:
"It's nothing! The second sister is too preoccupied. It's too late for me to be happy about the opening of the club today!"
Yingchun naturally didn't believe it. He frowned and said nothing, and just looked at her like this.
"Oh! Okay! Okay! Second sister, don't look at me like this, I just said that."
Tanchun felt inexplicably irritated after being watched for a while.
She couldn't help but sigh and said:
"A while ago, Miss Lin went to Rong Mansion and mentioned that I would marry far away next year. She said that Sister Bao had proposed to her to open more clubs. So when I came to Feng Mansion today, I thought about marrying far away from Donghai. I became interested in writing poetry."
"So that's what happened!"
When Yingchun heard the words, he was slightly stunned, but he said curiously:
"Although Donghai County is a little far away, you are marrying into the county prince's palace. What is there to worry about?"
In her opinion, Donghai County is a barren land.
But the regulations of the Donghai County Prince's Palace are there, so Tanchun will definitely not be wronged.
Tanchun looked a little complicated when he heard this and said:
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I know nothing about Donghai County. I've never seen a single plant or tree there. The thought of getting married is like a blind man touching an elephant. My eyesight goes dark, and I can't help but feel a little uneasy."
No matter how optimistic and cheerful she is on weekdays, Tanchun is still a girl under the age of fifteen.
How can you not think too much about the thought of marrying away from home?
The sadness of leaving home and worries about the future.
This made this optimistic and cheerful girl restless these days.
"It's in vain that you are so smart, but you are so stupid. Do you want to know how easy it is for Donghai County?"
Yingchun burst out laughing when he heard this, then showed a hint of amusement and said:
"I'll ask you about it later. I'll go to Rong Mansion in a few days and tell you."
If Tanchun hadn't helped her, she would have been sold to the Sun family.
Married to the Sun Shaozu whom he had never met before.
But now, thanks to Tan Chun's house, he entered Feng's house as he wished.
Although she was just a concubine, she lived extremely comfortably.
It's a hundred times better than living in Rongfu.
There are elders and Feng Yibo who love and protect him, and there are servants who respect him as if he were his master.
The other sisters are also in harmony, and there is no intrigue.
She no longer has to live in the Rong Mansion, where she is pressured by her elders and bullied by her servants, and has to be cautious all day long.
Since arriving at Feng Mansion, her personality has quietly changed a little.
Hearing that the sister had a problem, Yingchun still had the energy to ask, and then tried to help solve it.
It can be seen that she is no longer the cowardly and fearful Ermu in Rong Mansion, who can only use dullness as a protective color.
But with Feng Yibo as a man and Aunt Jia of Feng Mansion as his backer!
"No need to bother! In fact, Miss Lin has already asked Brother Feng."
Tanchun was a little surprised by the changes in welcoming the spring, but he had no time to think about it.
She shook her head and said:
"Girl Lin said that last time at the Lin Mansion, she and Sister Bao asked Brother Feng and said that the Prince of Donghai County has a very good character, respects women, and loves to write poems, but..."
At the end, she obviously hesitated.
But considering that there is only Yingchun in the house, it doesn't hurt to have some private words.
With Yingchun's character, whatever she listens to will only rot in her stomach.
So, she continued:
"Brother Feng is a gentleman after all, and he won't say bad things about people behind their backs."
People, that's how it works sometimes.
It's better not to ask about some things, but you will become suspicious if you ask about them.
Originally, Tanchun didn't think much about it. As a woman, she just obeyed her parents' arrangements.
But Daiyu laughed and said a few words, and then answered Feng Yibo's words.
Instead, she became more and more worried.
Of course, it's not that Tanchun didn't believe Feng Yibo's words.
I just feel that with Feng Yibo’s personality, he will definitely not talk about others behind their backs.
Even if I say it, I’m afraid I’ll just pick up the good ones and say it, right?
Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, then frowned again.
She thought Tanchun had heard something, bad rumors about Prince Donghai.
Unexpectedly, it was Daiyu who told her that her uncle had said good things about the King of Donghai County, which made her suspicious.
"You! You are usually so shrewd and have a thorough understanding of other people's affairs, but now when it comes to yourself, you start to worry unfoundedly!"
She tapped Tanchun's forehead and said with a smile:
"This matter is not simple. Now that the uncle is in front, we have called him to ask him face to face. With your shrewdness, you still can't tell the truth from the lies?"
Tanchun was stunned and said hesitantly:
"this……"
Feng Yibo is the male host of Feng Mansion, and he is entertaining guests in front.
Even though they are all her own, Yingchun is still a concubine after all.
After all, calling someone this doesn’t match their status, right?
"Don't worry, you helped me last time, let me do something for you this time."
Yingchun obviously didn't take it seriously, and was eager to help a bunch of Tanchun.
With that said, without waiting for Tanchun to respond, she shouted out the door:
"Embroidered orange!"
The maids who have been with Yingchun the longest are Siqi and Xiuju.
A while ago, Si Qi and his cousin Pan Youan fell in love.
After Yingchun learned about it, she did not choose to let it go, but reported it to Baochai.
Now Si Qi has been freed and went home to get married.
There were only three of the four maids left to marry together, so Xiuju became the most trusted maid around Yingchun.
At this time, she hurriedly entered the room after hearing this, saluted and said:
"What are your orders, aunt?"
Yingchun smiled and said:
"Go ahead and send me a message quietly. Just tell the uncle that I have something to ask him and see if he can come here."
Tanchun gently pulled Yingchun, why:
"Second sister, it's better not to give up..."
She was afraid that if Yingchun did this, Feng Yibo would be unhappy.
After all, when a man talks, it's not good even if the wife of the wife interrupts.
What's more, Yingchun is just a concubine.
Even if you are favored again, you must understand your identity.
"Just listen to my arrangements. The uncle will come soon, and I will ask questions. Just watch and listen."
Outsiders didn't know the situation in Feng Mansion, and Yingchun didn't explain much.
She waved her hand towards Xiuju, who was snickering, and ordered:
"Go!"
Although the elders and younger ones in the Feng Mansion are organized in an orderly manner, there are differences between seniority and inferiority.
But both Feng Yibo and Baochai loved these aunts very much.
As long as it's not unreasonable, it doesn't matter if you go to the front to call someone.
If there is any inconvenience, Feng Yibo can just refuse directly.
"good!"
Xiuju left in response, and the two sisters started talking privately again.
As soon as they chatted for a few words about Rong Mansion, Xiuju came back with Feng Yibo.
"I just couldn't bear to drink with them, so you asked me to come over, but have you started composing poetry?"
Before he entered the house, he smiled and said a few words at the door.
Yingchun and Tanchun hurriedly stood up to greet each other. After greeting each other, they sat down.
Tanchun started to greet and said:
"I would also like to thank you and your wife for being the host today and allowing us sisters to gather together."
Feng Yibo knew that Yingchun and Tanchun had a good relationship, so he was not surprised when he came in and saw Tanchun.
Hearing this, he said with a smile:
"You shouldn't thank me for this. It was your sister Bao and sister Lin who mentioned that you would have hair extensions next year, and that's why you said you wanted to open more clubs."
Although he didn't mention marrying far away, he did talk about hairpins.
Tanchun naturally understood what it meant. Hearing this, he was slightly embarrassed and said hurriedly:
"Anyway, I would like to thank you and your wife for your kindness. The little girl is ashamed to accept this."
"No need to thank you. As long as the three sisters return home happily, I will live up to their wishes."
Feng Yibo smiled, looked at Yingchun again, and asked:
"By the way, you asked Xiuju to call me over, but what do you want to say?"
When Tanchun heard this, he immediately stopped talking.
He just pricked up his ears and waited for Yingchun to ask questions.
"Thanks to Third Sister's help, I was able to express my feelings to my father. Now that I have a comfortable life, now that Third Sister has doubts and is worried all day long, I also want to help her."
Yingchun first foreshadowed it, and then said directly:
"Uncle, we want to ask about Donghai County."
Tanchun's face suddenly turned red and he turned his head slightly, not daring to look into Feng Yibo's eyes.
Feng Yibo was slightly stunned when he heard this.
He didn't expect that Yingchun called him to ask about this matter.
I just told Daiyu and Baochai a few days ago that I naturally opened my mouth at this time.
"The Prince of Donghai County has a very good character..."
"Wait a minute! Master!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he started, he was interrupted by Yingchun.
Yingchun and Feng Yibo have a deep relationship, and there is no need to make any detours when talking.
She glanced at Tanchun and said directly:
"Master, don't just pick out the good ones to talk about. Regardless of whether they are good or bad, we just want to know something in our mind, so as not to think about it all day long and become unreasonable people who worry about the world."
Feng Yibo was slightly surprised and hesitated when he spoke.
"this……"
The meaning of Yingchun's words was obviously to ask him to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the Duke of Donghai.
He knew the advantages very well, but the disadvantages were hard to think of at the moment.
He was thinking about how to praise himself in another way.
"If Brother Feng has any inconvenience, just pretend that he has not seen our sisters today and just go back to have a banquet."
Tan Chun originally had a cheerful nature, but when he saw Feng Yibo's hesitation, he thought he was in a bit of trouble.
At the moment it's like giving the other person a step up.
"It's not an inconvenience, it's just..."
When Feng Yibo heard this, he couldn't help but walk down the steps.
Otherwise, if Tanchun marries her in the future, it will be him.
Then when I think about today, I will feel very disappointed.
So he no longer hesitated, looked at Tanchun calmly, and asked:
"Third sister, tell me first, what do you want to know about it?"
When Tanchun heard this, he didn't care about being shy.
Looking at Feng Yibo with piercing eyes, he asked directly:
"I heard that the Prince of Donghai County was from a rough background. I don't know what he looks like, but he is a strong man with big shoulders and a round waist?"
Originally I had agreed, but it was the Spring Festival that came to ask.
But Tanchun is Tanchun after all!
At this time, he actually took back the initiative and asked himself.
"How about your stature and appearance?"
Feng Yibo didn't expect that what the other party cared about most was his appearance.
He couldn't help but clicked his tongue, but still said honestly:
"He's probably about the same height as me, and he looks pretty decent, not bulky or round."
When Tanchun heard Daiyu's description before, he always thought that the Prince of Donghai County was a reckless man.
Unexpectedly, Jin Shuo is now similar to Feng Yibo?
This made her feel relieved immediately, and she was inevitably a little excited.
But then, she became a little confused and said:
"In that case, how can he convince the public?"
After all, Rongfu was born in martial arts, and Tan Chun also knew a little about leading troops.
She knows that in the military, if you don't have a special status, you have to dominate by force in order to conquer the masses.
I heard that the Prince of Donghai County was from a lower class background, so I asked this question.
When she thought about it, the king of Donghai County had no plan to kill him.
If you are good-looking, you may not be able to convince those soldiers in the army.
Hearing such a question, Feng Yibo felt a little funny.
But at this time, he said seriously:
"To convince people, of course, you rely on your charisma."
