Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Feng Meng and his wife Fang were sitting in the hall waiting, and the steward was waiting on them.

Seeing Feng Jiyuan's return, Mrs. Fang stood up with a smile, "After receiving your letter, your father and I were going to come here. When we arrived, we heard that you had won the second-level Jinshi. It was really an unexpected surprise."

"Father and mother, when did you arrive, you never let me know, so I could come back early." Feng Jiyuan felt guilty, "Father and mother came from afar, and my son not only did not go to greet me, but also made the two elders wait for so long. It's really unfilial."

"How can I blame you? It was your father and I who couldn't wait to come after hearing the good news. We didn't tell you in advance, and we didn't wait long." Fang comforted her lovingly.

"You come back so late from socializing these days?" Feng Meng asked.

"No, there were a few more people sitting together tonight, so we talked a little late." Feng Jiyuan explained quickly.

"Okay, sit down and rest for a while," Mrs. Fang felt sorry for her son and ordered the steward, "Bring the hot sobering soup."

"Yes, ma'am." The steward responded and turned around to go out.

After Feng Jiyuan sat down, Feng Meng reminded him, "You have just passed the Jinshi examination and your appointment from the court has not yet come down. Don't be too showy. You can refuse certain wine bureaus if you should, without fear of offending others. You don't know how to refuse now." , it will be more difficult to do it in the officialdom in the future.”

Feng Jiyuan listened carefully, "Remember your father's teachings."

Mrs. Fang said reluctantly: "I don't know where Yuan'er will be assigned to serve. Anyway, he won't be with us. I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities for our family to sit together in the future."

"It would be great if I could stay in the capital. With your Uncle Dong here, I can take care of you, and Afu..."

Feng Mengyan said: "We can't control Yuan'er's appointment. Everything should be left to the arrangements of the court."

Fang turned to look at him, with a bit of complaint in her eyes, "We only have a child named Yuan'er, and you are not willing to help him get a job in the capital."

"I don't know anyone well in Beijing, how should I deal with it?" Feng Meng was helpless.

"Isn't there Brother Dong..."

"You don't understand what Brother Dong's temper is like? Even if it's Jiabao, he won't interfere. We can't embarrass Brother Dong."

Fang wanted to say something more when Feng Jiyuan said: "Mother, father is right. Since I have joined the court as an official, I must obey the orders of the court and share your worries. No matter where I go, if I have time, I will Go back and see you and your father."

"That's all," Mrs. Fang sighed, "you two have the same temperament, I don't care."

"When does mother plan to return to Yingzhou?" Feng Jiyuan asked, changing the subject.

Mrs. Fang said with a smile on her face when she heard this: "Afu's birthday will be in a few days. Let's wait until Afu's birthday is celebrated before we leave. There is also something about you two. Now that you have passed the Jinshi examination, why don't you come to propose marriage? I have wronged Afu. We came to the capital this time just for this matter."

"Let's discuss it with your Uncle Dong and Auntie tomorrow. If they agree, we can arrange your marriage on Afu's birthday. This way, your father and I can go back and prepare for your wedding." Fang The more he talked, the happier he became.

Feng Jiyuan was not surprised. He had been waiting for this day for many years. He couldn't hide the smile on his lips, "Thank you for your trouble, father and mother."

Mrs. Fang knew what her son was thinking, "Don't worry, this time, my mother will definitely help you marry Afu home!"

Feng Meng also nodded, "Well, I have long wanted to marry Brother Dong."

Feng Jiyuan felt a little hot-skinned by what they said.

"Sir, here comes the hangover soup." The steward came in with a bowl.

"Quick, Yuan'er, drink the sobering soup." Fang raised her hand to urge.

Feng Jiyuan took the bowl and drank the hangover soup in one go.

Mrs. Fang watched him finish the drink, "Okay, go back and rest early. We will send a message to your Uncle Dong when we arrive in the capital, and we will visit their home tomorrow."

"Yes, my father and mother have worked hard all the way and should rest early." Feng Jiyuan walked to his room.

The next day, Dong Jingtang and Xu Yiwan got up early to prepare. When Dong Jiabao and his sister came to have breakfast, Xu Yiwan was still discussing the lunch dishes with Guo's mother.

"Mom, let's eat first. It's not too late to decide these things after dinner. Uncle Feng and the others are not outsiders, so you don't have to be so nervous." Dong Jialin advised.

"This is the first time your Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng have come back to our home in the capital. We can't neglect it." Xu Yiwan said as she motioned to Mother Guo to step aside first and picked up the chopsticks at hand.

Dong Jingtang put some of her favorite dishes into her bowl, "You've been busy since you received Gengping's message yesterday. I think you're almost ready. We'll talk about the rest after dinner."

Xu Yiwan nodded in response, then looked at Dong Jiabao and the other three, and warned: "Don't go out today. You are all waiting at home for your Uncle Feng and the others to come."

"My mother told me yesterday that I won't go anywhere today." Dong Jiabao replied.

Dong Jialin then assured, "Me too, I won't go to the store today."

Dong Jiafu then expressed her position, "Mom, don't worry, I asked Xia Zhi to tell the master that I won't go to the hospital today."

Xu Yiwan smiled with satisfaction, "You have all grown up, and you all have your own things to be busy with. It is not easy for you all to stay at home."

"No matter what mother said, as long as you give me an order, then who among us dares not to listen." Dong Jialin coaxed sweetly, then turned to Dong Jiabao and Dong Jiafu on the left and right and said, "Brother, Afu, do you think it is right?" ?”

The two of them naturally nodded in agreement.

Xu Yiwan smiled so hard that her eyebrows arched, "Okay, I know you are all filial children, so hurry up and eat."

After dinner, Dong Jiafu helped Xu Yiwan prepare to welcome Feng Jiyuan's family.

At around 4 o'clock, Maofeng ran over and reported, "Master, Madam, Master Feng and the others are here."

"Quick, go out and greet..."

Xu Yiwan and Dong Jingtang walked out of the gate with a happy face, followed by Dong Jiabao and three others.

"Geng Ping——"

"Sister Fang——"

Seeing Feng Meng and his wife from a distance, the two quickened their pace.

Feng Meng and Fang, who were letting people unload their things, turned around.

"Brother Dong, we meet again!"

"Sister Xu, long time no see," Mrs. Fang excitedly went over to hold Xu Yiwan's hand, looked at her carefully, and said happily, "Sister Xu's complexion is better than when we met in Yangzhou, and even her hair is black and shiny. A lot."

Xu Yiwan was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear, "There is nothing to worry about after coming here. I feel comfortable."

"That's right, now that Gabo has won the first prize again, you can enjoy peace of mind and happiness."

After the two families greeted each other, Dong Jingtang led people into the house.
