Feng Yibo gave Yuan Chun the money he had promised before.
For this purpose, he actually prepared one hundred thousand taels of cash.
But because of Rongfu's beating on Daiyu, the amount of money shrank slightly.
From 100,000 to 50,000, the money given was all new money.
But even so, he still carries a gun and a stick.
This money is also real money and can help Rong Mansion meet its urgent needs.
After all, the old relatives of the Rong family in the capital are all having a hard time, and there are many people who are worse off than them.
I'm afraid it will be very difficult to transfer some money.
Jia Mu was reluctant to part with her coffin book, fearing that if she took it out early, her sons would squander it all.
For this reason, I can only knock out my teeth and swallow the sugar in my stomach.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Mrs. Wang found a good step.
The blunt answer is that it was Yuanchun's instruction.
Although everyone in Rong Mansion tacitly understood this, they felt that this was self-deception.
But at least he had some high-sounding reasons for accepting the money, which could save some face for the family.
On the other side, Feng Yibo came out of Rong Mansion and returned to the palace for a walk.
Seeing that all the officials were conducting sacrifices skillfully and orderly, there were not many things that needed to be handled by him personally.
He said hello to Hao Zhenlin, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and returned to the mansion.
First prepare some things, then pick up Miaoyu, and then rush to the Lin Mansion.
Lin Ruhai was still paying homage in the palace at this time and was not at the house.
The two of them went straight to the back to meet Aunt Lin first.
"This is blood coral sent from the East China Sea. I heard that some Buddhists listed it as one of the Buddhist treasures, so I had someone polish a string of rosary beads to honor my aunt."
After a few words of greeting, Feng Yibo took out a small gift.
Aunt Lin took it with a smile and chanted:
"Amitabha! Thank you for your trouble."
Miaoyu on the side looked at the string of rosary beads and seemed a little surprised.
But after being surprised, she just smiled and said nothing.
When Feng Yibo heard this, he smiled and waved his hands and said:
"What do you mean by aunt? You are the aunt of their sisters, Feng Yuan's aunt. If you need anything in daily life, just tell Miaoyu that whatever the Feng family has, you can use it to honor your aunt."
Aunt Lin smiled even more, nodded and said:
"Amitabha! I know your filial piety, and there is no need to say such words to prove it."
Miaoyu is living a relaxed and comfortable life now, and Daiyu will only wait for the national mourning to be over.
Aunt Lin was very satisfied with this niece-in-law who was full of filial piety and had a bright future.
When Feng Yibo heard this, he continued:
"My aunt is good at Buddhism and doesn't care about earthly matters. But for a layman like me, this is the only way I can express my filial piety."
"Amitabha! Amitabha!"
No matter how exquisite Aunt Lin's Buddhist teachings were, she was coaxed by Feng Yibo into smiling and arching her eyebrows.
Even if he kept chanting the Buddha's name, he could not dampen the smile in his eyes.
Afterwards, the two of them chatted with Aunt Lin for a while.
Aunt Lin, who was coaxed into smiling happily, asked Feng Yibo about his current situation, and he smiled and said:
"These days I have been busy with funeral arrangements in the palace. Although I can see my uncle occasionally, I don't have the chance to talk in detail, so I thought of coming over to see my aunt and sister today."
After beating up the Rong Mansion, he naturally wanted to come over to comfort his aggrieved daughter-in-law.
But before meeting my wife, I need to warm up with my aunt.
When Aunt Lin heard this, she immediately understood the purpose of his visit.
After a few more pleasantries, she ran out of excuses.
He smiled and asked the maid to invite Daiyu to the small hall to receive Feng Yibo and Feng Yibo on her behalf.
Feng Yibo and Miaoyu resigned.
In the small hall, Daiyu was already waiting.
She saw two people coming this way from a distance, so she went out to greet them.
But she stepped forward excitedly, then lowered her head suddenly and said a little embarrassedly:
"Brother Feng, sister, you are here!"
As soon as she came out, Feng Yibo saw slightly swollen eyes.
Obviously, Daiyu lowered her head just to cover up.
After saying that, before the two of them could respond, he turned around and led the way.
When the three of them sat down in the small hall, Qingwen and Xueyan served the tea again with a smile.
Feng Yibo gave instructions to bring something over.
Seeing Daiyu's curious face, he introduced with a smile:
"This is a coral sent from the East China Sea. I picked the largest one and had it made as a decoration for my sister to enjoy."
This coral ornament is extraordinary, not only it is two feet tall.
It also looks like a big tree and is as red as blood.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is no ordinary coral.
And the best among corals, blood coral.
Not only that, this coral tree has a perfect shape and clear branches!
Paired with an emerald green jade basin, it looks like a real tree, lifelike.
When the maid brought the blood coral tree up, Miaoyu pursed her lips, seemingly trying to hold back a smile.
Daiyu noticed her expression, a little confused, and asked:
"What are you laughing at, sister?"
Miaoyu glanced at Feng Yibo with a smile, thought for a while, and then said:
"I just gave my aunt a string of blood coral rosary beads. He also said that I should devote all my life to my filial piety. I didn't expect that the one with the best appearance would be sent to you here."
There are rosary beads on one side and coral trees on the other.
There is a dozens of times difference in size between the two.
What's more, it is not easy to form corals, and they may not have such a clear tree shape for thousands of years.
The rosary is different.
It doesn't care about the shape. After all, no matter how good the shape is, it still has to be polished into beads.
Therefore, the coral used in the rosary only depends on the quality.
At this point, she couldn't help laughing and said:
"Giggle! The quality of the rosary beads is good, but when it comes to preciousness, your coral tree is even better!"
Seeing Daiyu's face turn red, Miaoyu even said:
"Do you know why this is?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Daiyu to respond, she smiled and said:
"Because the rosary beads are just scraps from this tree!"
Daiyu naturally knew how valuable the coral tree was, but what Miaoyu said was somewhat different from what she thought.
Not only that, Miaoyu also raised her left hand.
I saw a string of red rosary beads wrapped around my wrist. Its color was like blood and its texture was shiny.
It is actually equivalent to the quality of the blood coral in front of me!
"Here! I have a bunch too."
Speaking of which, Miaoyu endured it really hard.
She originally thought that the rosary she gave to her aunt was a pair.
It just so happened that she and Daiyu were together.
Unexpectedly, the rosary she thought she was going to give to Daiyu was given to Aunt Lin.
But the coral tree she thought was given to her aunt was actually given to Daiyu.
This really shows who the real daughter-in-law is!
Feng Yibo was pointed out by Miaoyu, but he didn't panic at all and said with a smile:
"It's not because you and your aunt believe in Buddhism that you let people grind the rosary beads. My sister doesn't believe in Buddhism, so naturally she won't use them."
The two sisters looked at each other, and Miaoyu suddenly laughed, while Daiyu blushed with embarrassment.
Seeing this, Feng Yibo pretended to be helpless and sighed:
"Alas! It's true that I didn't think this through well. I'll just ask someone to send two more good-quality coral trees to my aunt later."
Seeing his appearance, Daiyu shyly covered her mouth and chuckled, and said:
"It doesn't matter, just give this coral to my aunt later."
As Miaoyu's eyes flashed, she also covered her mouth and said with a smile:
"Sister, it saves money for the family."
Daiyu was immediately ashamed and said angrily:
"elder sister!"
Seeing the two sisters chatting and laughing, Feng Yibo also smiled and nodded.
In fact, he did this deliberately just to make Daiyu happy.
Otherwise, with his thoroughness, how could he make such a small mistake?
Miaoyu also figured this out after seeing Daiyu's sad face.
Therefore, before Feng Yibo could "accidentally" tell the truth, she helped to point it out.
It's all Feng Yibo's good intentions.
Otherwise, how could Miaoyu's Hui Zhilanxin cause embarrassment to her uncle?
Seeing Daiyu relax, the two looked at each other and smiled.
This is the tacit understanding that the two have had for a long time in compiling teaching materials and often worshiping Buddha together.
it is more than words.
After laughing, Daiyu obviously relaxed a lot.
However, before saying a few words, she still hesitated and said:
"Brother Feng, the matter in Rong Mansion..."
In the past few days, she had been suffering from this matter.
Despite her strong words at the time, it was forced by the situation.
As soon as she came back, she was worried that there would really be a rift between Feng and Jia's family, and they would never communicate with each other again.
She knew as soon as Feng Yibo came today that Miaoyu must have told her about that.
Obviously, Brother Feng was here to comfort her, but she didn't know how he would handle this matter.
The two of them were joking in front of her just now, and Daiyu smiled in harmony.
However, after laughing, she still couldn't help but worry.
Seeing that she couldn't keep calm, Feng Yibo asked first, then smiled and comforted:
"Sister, don't worry about this, I've already taken care of it."
Don't look at Daiyu's sharp teeth and sharp mouth, killing everyone in Rongfu.
But in front of Feng Yibo, she looked shy and timid, and said:
"No matter what, it's best not to hurt the harmony, after all..."
Feng Yibo waved his hand, smiled and said:
"After all, this is my uncle's house, so I have a sense of propriety."
After all, Feng Yibo hasn't changed his tune before.
At this time, calling Daiyu uncle inevitably made her blush slightly.
But even though she was shy, she couldn't hide the worry on her face.
Seeing that she still looked worried, Feng Yibo comforted her again:
"Don't worry, I sent them 50,000 taels and calmed their grievances."
Feng Yibo didn't mention his beating, but simply talked about the cause and effect.
"ah?"
Now, it was Daiyu's turn to be surprised.
Is this also a problem that can be solved with money?
Seeing this, Feng Yibo seemed to know what she was thinking, and added:
"I discussed this matter with the Queen Mother before. After all, it is the Queen Mother's natal family, and it is also your uncle's family. Naturally, we cannot ignore it."
Upon hearing that it was Yuanchun's arrangement, Daiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said:
"Since we have discussed it with the Queen Mother, I am relieved."
Others may not know it, but Daiyu naturally knows Yuanchun's status in Jia's family.
Especially after becoming the Queen Mother, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the spiritual totem of the Jia family.
"From now on, you should move around when you should. If anyone dares to sneer at you again, just tell your sister. When the time comes, I will have a way to shut them up."
Feng Yibo smiled confidently and added:
"Don't worry, I won't pay you next time."
Although Daiyu did feel sorry for the fifty thousand taels of silver, after all, it was the Feng family's money.
But when Feng Yibo said this, she became even more worried.
Although you are reluctant to give money, if you don't give money, you may fall out.
Seeing Daiyu's worried look, Feng Yibo laughed and said:
"After all, with the Queen Mother on your side, I can at most give you a small punishment or a big warning, and I won't really fall out with Rong Mansion."
This is what he thinks.
If he hadn't been worried about Yuanchun, he would have tried his best to kill these people who were struggling to make money for the country this time.
That's why it's okay for him to play first and then coax, but it definitely won't work if he kills first and then coaxes.
Daiyu completely relaxed after hearing his casual words of "a small punishment but a big warning".
With Feng Yibo's current power, saying such a thing is not considered arrogant.
Even for the Queen Mother's natal family, this was not the first time that he had moved.
After all, many people think so.
This time, a group of dignitaries who invaded people's fields were successfully confiscated from their homes and dismissed from their posts.
It was only through Feng Yibo's persistence that he was able to succeed.
In particular, Daiyu felt even deeper during her trip to Rongfu.
They did not dare to directly provoke Feng Mansion, but called their junior over and beat around the bush.
This is definitely not to save face for the Feng family, but it means they don't dare to confront him directly.
Seeing her relax, Feng Yibo also breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"If you're bored at home, you can come to my house more and talk more with your sister Bao."
As soon as these words came out, Daiyu immediately curled her lips slightly.
It was okay for her to go see Baochai by herself, but it was different when Feng Yibo asked her to go.
Daiyu's mouth was so pursed that it could hang a bottle of oil, but she could still make a sound:
"It's hard for Brother Feng to worry about it. He's afraid that I'm too boring on weekdays, and he's trying to find ways for me to go to the house to liven things up. But my identity makes the people in the house feel uncomfortable. I'd rather stay at the house and not go there. Are you joining in the fun?"
Seeing that she could be jealous normally, Feng Yibo was amused but at the same time he was completely relieved and said with a smile:
"Sister, just be at ease. I just said casually that when this busy period is over, I will come see you more often."
Daiyu's temper came and went quickly.
Feng Yibo coaxed him a few words and immediately put his dissatisfaction behind him.
Afterwards, the three of them chatted about various topics in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
When Feng Yibo and Miaoyu left, Daiyu reluctantly sent them to the second door.
As soon as he went out, Feng Yibo in the carriage hugged Miaoyu and said with a smile:
"You are really Huizhilanxin, and you are worthy of being my little secretary!"
Miaoyu leaned her head in his arms and said with a smile:
"My uncle's intentions are not only visible to me, but also to my sister."
It doesn’t really matter whether you see it or not, what matters is that it works.
Feng Yibo kissed her ear gently and whispered in her ear:
"Miaomiao, we are getting closer and closer to each other! Come with me to the study later, and I have some questions to discuss with you."
This is their private nickname, and Feng Yibo usually doesn't use it.
Upon hearing this title, Miaoyu's face suddenly turned red.
She tacitly understood Feng Yibo's idea, which was that he wanted to delve into Buddhism.
But when she heard that she was in the study, Miaoyu felt slightly uncomfortable and said angrily:
"I've never been serious for a day! I just use sweet words to coax people."
For different women, there are different methods of coaxing.
Be sweeter in front of elders, and be more humorous in front of girls.
As for the one who is already my own woman...
Although sweet words are indispensable, physical strength is also required.
In short, recklessness is over.
If it doesn't work once, then do it a few more times.
Fights at the head of the bed and fights at the end of the bed rely on more than sweet words.
"Why are you so serious? I don't have sweet words for you, I'm just telling you with real swords and guns... Ah no! I'm really asking for advice on how to worship Buddha!"
"Pooh!"
