Chapter 817: The good news of the tiger crouching on

  Chapter 817 The good news of the fierce tiger lying on the barren hill

  Hearing Feng Ziying's arrival, Xue Baochai was also overjoyed. Just now her mother was still talking to herself about herself, a little bit complaining and worried, and now Feng Lang came.

  Although Feng Lang didn't know that Feng Lang was in such a hurry to find this place from the garden, but as long as he could see each other anyway, Baochai would be happy and at ease.

   Come out in a hurry and welcome Feng Ziying in. Seeing that Aunt Xue is there, Feng Ziying also greets her.

  From the bottom of her heart, Aunt Xue is very satisfied and optimistic about Feng Ziying. Not only does she manage her son submissively, she is on the right path, but Baochai is also very fond of her. If she can marry him, it will be the best.

Even when I met my elder brother a few times, my elder brother was full of praise for Feng Ziying, only saying that he was the most outstanding talent among the martial arts children of this generation, which made Aunt Xue want to talk about Feng Ziying's promise to Baochai several times. Thinking of Feng Ziying's repeated urging not to leak it before it was finalized, he endured it.

However, Aunt Xue has never been very clear about Feng Ziying's promise to Baochai, and Baochai is also vague, but she has repeatedly told her daughter that she must never be a concubine, especially when Lin Daiyu is going to marry into Feng's family as her regular wife. In the case of a married woman, it would be even more unacceptable for her own daughter to become a concubine.

  Although the Xue family is in decline now, they still need some face. Xue’s family only has this daughter as his wife, and he is also the daughter of the Wang family. How can he let his daughter be a concubine?

Of course, Aunt Xue had also vaguely guessed whether it was possible for Baochai to marry into the second wife of the Feng family, but the second wife of the Feng family was silent now, and the second uncle Feng Ziying died of illness. Death, that's why there will be posthumous titles, so Aunt Xue didn't dare to expect such a good thing.

   But even without a title, even if she married Baochai as an ordinary person, Aunt Xue was satisfied.

"Brother Keng, sit down, Baochai was still talking about you earlier." Aunt Xue looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and then looked at the affectionate and righteous look of her daughter looking at him. sigh.

   Baochai is seventeen years old, if it drags on, it will hurt her reputation. Which family is a lady who is seventeen or eighteen years old and hasn't married yet? Worst of all, she has already been engaged, but her daughter has not been settled yet. In the past two years, several families have come to inquire, but they are not very satisfied at first, and Baochai is determined to believe Aunt Xue also suffered a lot because of the appointment of the Feng family's Dalang, but he never gave him a letter of approval.

   "Oh? Sister Bao, what did you say Brother Yu?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile as she looked at the packaging material with a flushed face and fat cheeks.

"I didn't say anything, just said that Brother Feng had a whimsical idea, and he would carve and polish the playing cards played by the idlers by the canal out of bamboo and wood. If it is not so complicated to make such things, bamboo and wood are easy to get, and the cost is not high, if it can be popularized, just making mahjong is a good business."

  Xue Baochai pursed her lips and spoke softly, but her eyes were full of affection. Even in front of her mother, she didn't hide too much. It was obvious that her heart had long been tied to Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying didn't expect that Baochai would think of this, so she couldn't help laughing, "Sister Bao is really suitable to be the head of the family, and this kind of earning fool has never thought of it, but if this mahjong becomes popular, there are so many idlers in the north and south of the Zhou Dynasty. This kind of game must be in great demand, if there is someone who can make it specially, and the mahjong produced is exquisite and beautiful, it will definitely sell well for a while."

   A compliment put Aunt Xue and Baochai in a good mood, and both Aunt Xue and Baochai could tell that Feng Ziying was in a good mood and came here with a purpose.

"Brother Keng, talk to Baochai for a while. I'm tired. Go and rest first." Aunt Xue is also a sensible person. to leave.

"It's good that my aunt is here, my nephew just wants to talk about this matter with my aunt." Feng Ziying glanced at Baochai, Baochai seemed to have guessed something, her eyes were bright, her lips were trembling. Cultivate a calm and comfortable state of mind, and couldn't help standing up, with a slightly trembling voice, "Brother Feng, you mean..."

Seeing that Baochai guessed her intention, Feng Ziying didn't hide anything, and smiled slightly: "Auntie, Sister Bao, and nephew have got more reliable news, maybe in the next few days, the imperial court may come down with a decree, my second uncle may Will be restored to the title, brother Yu will also apply to the imperial court as soon as possible to serve as the second wife, if the news is finalized, the nephew will report to his mother and come to the house to propose,..."

   Baochai could no longer hold back the ecstasy and excitement in her heart, covered her mouth with her hand, her eye circles were slightly red, waiting for this moment for years, "Brother Feng, is this serious?"

"If I hadn't been absolutely sure, how could my brother come and tell my aunt and sister about this?" Feng Ziying also stood up with a comforting smile on her face. If Aunt Xue hadn't been in front of her, he would have already embraced Baochai in his arms, so as to comfort her for a while. After all, in this year, I'm afraid that Baochai will also be tossing and turning, after all, the promise I made to her is like a flower in the moon in the mirror, whether it can be fulfilled, I'm afraid she doesn't have the slightest confidence in her heart, and she suddenly got this news today. , how can we not be pleasantly surprised?

Aunt Xue was also stunned by the sudden surprise, she got up and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Keng, are you serious? Don't lie to me with false words, let alone disappoint Bao girl, she can't stand this Wait for the stimulus,..."

"Auntie, don't worry, my nephew has received the exact news, at most within three days." The news given by King Zhongshun is also very affirmative, and the news he released will be finalized within a few days, the court will definitely The two things were announced together, so Feng Ziying was very sure, "If it wasn't for this, my nephew wouldn't dare to come and talk about this with my aunt and sister Bao."

Aunt Xue's body softened and she was about to fall down in the seat, but it was Baochai who reacted quickly and hurried forward to support her mother. Aunt Xue then stabilized her mind and kept chanting about Amitabha. It has been finalized, and now the biggest thing in my heart has been settled, and my family will have no regrets for the rest of my life.

Seeing this situation, Feng Ziying could only add in detail to make the other party feel true: "My nephew got the news first, so I didn't dare to delay at all, so I came to tell you, but I just ask my aunt and sister Bao not to publicize it to the outside world for now. , I still need to apply to the Ministry of Rites for consecration when the imperial court's decree comes down, and after the procedure is over, I will come to ask for marriage."

Aunt Xue is not an ignorant person, she naturally understands that once the second wife of the Feng family is restored to the title, it will be a matter of course, but it is still a process, and the people in the capital are afraid that once they get the news, there will be countless people who want to fight Feng Ziying's idea, but she was a little worried in her heart, and subconsciously said: "Brother Keng, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just..."

   "Don't worry, auntie, my nephew doesn't dare to say a word, but he is also a person who has concerns. It is my mother's side. Naturally, I will handle it with all my strength..." Feng Ziying did not hesitate.

   A little bit less, the body has not recovered, please forgive me.
