Chapter 61 It’s not that simple

If they had not regarded Feng Yibo as their nephew, Li Shouzhong and his wife would never have done this.

In the eyes of the old couple, all major marriage matters are the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker.

Feng Yibo has no parents or elders.

Then as his mentor and master's wife, they should take care of him.

But the old couple thought that for such hard work, they could at least get a word of gratitude.

Unexpectedly, it looked like he was doing bad things with good intentions.

This kid seems reluctant?

Feng Yibo didn't know where to start for a while.

"well!"

He could only sigh with a bitter look on his face, and then said:

"This disciple cares so much about his two elders and works so hard to take care of them. It is really deeply touching."

The old couple looked at each other, both looking confused.

If you are grateful, why do you show your face to us?

Just listen to Feng Yibo continue: "How can the disciple be dissatisfied?"

really.

Be it Xue Baochai or Lin Daiyu.

These are the twins who are ranked first among the twelve beauties of Jinling!

Which one can he be dissatisfied with?

But.

The rankings can be tied, but the wives cannot!

Marrying both of them would be inconsistent with etiquette.

and……

He licked his dry lips, his voice was hoarse.

"But my mentor, my wife! Just a month ago, the Holy One granted me a marriage by decree!"

"What did you say?"

Both Li Shouzhong and Li Mengshi's expressions changed.

"What kind of marriage?"

"What kind of marriage?"

"The Holy One may have wanted to compensate me for lowering my name to gain a scholar, so he issued an edict to grant me a marriage to calm the material debate among scholars."

Feng Yibo smiled bitterly and added:

"I wrote a letter to my mentor about this matter. Maybe I haven't arrived in Jinling yet and I just missed it."

As soon as she heard that the emperor was involved, Li Mengshi suddenly felt worried.

She glanced at Li Shouzhong and saw that he was also frowning.

Suddenly I couldn't help but ask: "Master, how did you do this?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shouzhong immediately raised his brows and smiled at her.

"It's okay. As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty. It's a good thing that God grants marriage. Just explain the matter clearly."

Li Mengshi naturally didn't believe that things could be so simple.

She hesitated and said, "But, the Lin family's marriage..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Shouzhong immediately responded with a smile.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll just write a memorial to explain the situation later. I believe the Holy One will make his own decision."

Without any twist, he added: "Yibo and I will discuss the matter of going to court tomorrow."

"Okay, then you guys can discuss it. I'll go around the yard and see how Yibo's house looks like."

Li Mengshi nodded when he heard this, and went out with worries.

This is the family tradition of Jinling Li family.

When men discuss business matters, women should stay away.

After Li Mengshi left, Li Shouzhong frowned.

"Yibo, this matter is not that simple."

Feng Yibo naturally understood and said apologetically: "Disciple has caused trouble to his teacher!"

He had been cautious these days, but unexpectedly problems occurred elsewhere.

Although Li Shouzhong did not discuss it with him in advance.

But the old couple is just trying to make ends meet, so they can’t blame others on the other side, right?

"This is still an oversight on the part of the teacher."

Li Shouzhong also knew that Feng Yibo was not to blame, and he shook his head when he heard this.

Although he didn't think he was wrong in making an engagement with Feng Yibo.

But after all, I was in a hurry to come to Duzhong and didn't discuss it with Feng Yibo in advance.

Therefore, he rarely put down his honor as a teacher and explained a few sentences.

"I also thought that since you didn't have any elders here, even if you wanted to get engaged, you would wait until I arrived. I didn't expect that the Holy One would grant me the marriage."

Feng Yibo shook his head after hearing this and said sincerely:

"It's indeed unexpected, but after all, it's my fault that I was a little too impulsive at Jia's house."

This is kind of the source of the whole thing.

"This is your good intention, I understand."

Seeing that Feng Yibo continued to admit his mistake, Li Shouzhong waved his hand to stop him from continuing and said:

"Let's not worry about who is right and who is wrong. The most important thing is to think of a solution."

He thought of something again and asked: "By the way, whose girl is the girl who gave me the marriage?"

Feng Yibo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his mentor regaining his composure so quickly.

Back to: "She is the legitimate daughter of the eldest son of the Xue family in Jinling."

"Oh? It turns out that after Ziwei passed away, you are the successor of a scholarly family. You are so lucky."

Li Shouzhong was a little surprised when he heard this.

The Li family is also a big family in Jinling, and they are close relatives of the Jia family.

We are no strangers to the Xue family.

He pondered and said: "It seems that the Holy One wants me to join forces with Wang Ziteng?"

Li Shouzhong stood up and walked around, thinking for a moment.

Finally, he shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's think about the marriage."

Feng Yibo told the story from beginning to end.

Although the two of them still had no clue about this.

But there are many problems to sort out.

First of all, what is on the surface is the issue of marriage contract.

No matter which side you retreat to, it's hard to explain.

Both parties are well-known, and they are close relatives of the Li family.

This is okay, but there is something more troublesome.

It's a matter of "etiquette".

If the etiquette is followed, the date of the marriage contract set by Li Shouzhong and Lin Ruhai will be first.

The emperor's marriage grant turned into a random fate.

This is no small matter!

The emperor's will has been announced to the world.

If we withdraw it again, we will lower the authority of the Heavenly Family.

Not only the master and apprentice, but also Emperor Jingshun would be very passive.

Solving this problem is not that simple.

The two discussed it for a long time, but they still couldn't find a suitable solution.

Finally, Feng Yibo had an idea and came up with an idea.

But he didn't have much confidence in this and hesitated:

"Actually, I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."

"Tell me first!"

When Li Shouzhong heard this, he didn't have much hope.

Feng Yibo hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and said:

"We, master and apprentice, are not enough for this matter, we need someone to help."

…

Just when the master and apprentice were discussing strategies.

Two people in the Jia family received letters from Jiangnan.

What is going on?

After Jia Zheng read the letter, he frowned.

My sister-in-law wrote to me and thanked him for helping me look after him.

And you and Li Shouzhong have already decided on Daiyu’s marriage?

This was indeed the suggestion he mentioned in his letter.

But I didn’t expect my sister-in-law to be so efficient!

But.

Feng Yuan is already engaged to Baochai!

The marriage letter was written by myself!

This is bad!

No matter how innocent he is, he still understands that he is in trouble.

what to do?

This is a marriage granted by the emperor!

The matter involves the royal family, how to deal with it?

On the other side, Lin Daiyu's eyes widened after reading the letter.

His face turned red and white for a while.

Baochai was nearby at this time. Seeing her expression was different, he asked with concern: "But there is something wrong at home?"

"No, no, no!"

Daiyu said no three times in a row and locked the letter in panic.

He even glanced at Baochai guiltily.

This time, he happened to catch her hand waving the incense fan.

Wearing the best ghost old black-haired crystal bracelet on her wrist.

The skin is more radiant and plump.

Daiyu quickly looked away, forced a smile and said:

"It's nothing serious. I just received a letter from my father and felt a little homesick."

Baochai was a little confused when he heard this and stared at Daiyu for a while.

It wasn't until Daiyu's eyes dodge that she suddenly smiled and said:

"It's okay, let's go to the yard to cool off."
