Feng Jinbao is twenty-eight this year, which is the time when a man is in the prime of life. He has a moderate figure, a square face, two thick eyebrows, not to mention handsome but dignified. He married the daughter of a poor local talent, this Feng Yang was sick and crooked, and devoted himself to practicing Buddhism all the year round, and the couple lived in separate hospitals, so there was no man and half woman. It's a pity that the Buddha didn't take into account this piety, and Feng Yang was still gone last year.

Feng Jinbao talks elegantly, and there is no copper smell at all, which simply subverts Bai Lin's understanding of the Feng family's few meat balls. In fact, even Feng Jinshan is not particularly fat now, and his belly is at least half smaller than before.

"When I was a child, the most I ate was bibimbap, and a big spoonful of lard submerged the rice," Feng Jinbao smiled and put down a black seed, cutting off Bai Lin's big dragon.

"Because, I'm going to look like my father."

"My father has a bad temperament, and people he doesn't like can't pretend, even if it's his own son. He has many sons and sons, which is not uncommon. ”

"If I can be more like him, then he will probably look a little more sorry in his heart."

"It's just a little trick for an aunt's concubine to want to live."

"Of course being fat is disgusting, but death is more terrible, and being poor is worse than death."

······

Bai Lin stayed in Huashi County when he deliberately returned this time mainly to sweep Feng Youcai's tomb, he thought that Jiaojiao would definitely be comforted by this, and that was all he could do for her.

Feng Youcai's tomb is magnificently repaired, and the tomb is the tallest and brightest among the ancestral tombs of the Feng family. Bai Lin arrived in Huashi County for more than half a month in order to check Li Chun's life experience, so he asked Feng Jinshan to send the three animals, fruits, wine and rice, paper money and a complete set of paper horse boy clothes. At that time, it also caused onlookers in Huashi County, and everyone speculated that this was the Feng family brothers who had made a fortune again, lamenting that Feng Youcai had a good life, and after his death, there were children and grandchildren who continued to burn paper and send incense.

Now that Qingming is early, and the sacrifices in front of the grave have also been cleaned up, Bai Lin didn't need a cushion, so she directly lifted her robe and knelt down in the mud to kowtow three times for Feng Jiaojiao and Feng Xiaobao, and then kowtowed three times for herself as a son-in-law. I thought to myself, old man, I kidnapped your daughter, and I will soon come to make amends to you in person, so don't blame me, and don't blame your stupid girl. Let's bless them a lot.

Several brothers of the Feng family have already split up, and this time it is rare to be there, Feng Jinhuo and Jin Shu accompanied Bai Lin to his father's grave. The other three only stopped in front of the ancestral hall, and they didn't talk to each other much, just standing or sitting and waiting for Bai Lin to come back after worshipping.

Feng Jinshan, Jin Shui and Jin Bao would not come forward for various reasons every Qingming Festival and Daddy's death day, and took over the golden trees and golden fires in the countryside to be responsible for sprinkling and sweeping Daddy's grave on weekdays.

Shorting the books, transferring funds, and then feeding my father with wine and fat, and selling my sister is a fatal blow. The impeccable shrewd daddy finally fell.

Feng Jinshu and Jin Huo were silent although they were not directly involved, and the five sons agreed in silence. The division was also successfully completed in tacit understanding, without any objections and scrambles, so that the patriarch sighed that the Feng family brothers were friendly and were family role models.

Boss Feng's five sons are all good, whether it is Tongfa Commercial Bank or Manxianglou, the business is prosperous, and the signboard is loud. The fields in the countryside are also smooth, and the grain is full. Everyone envied Boss Feng's graveyard for its good feng shui, and the five bloodlines were all prosperous and prosperous.

A group of people with ghosts in their hearts said goodbye with different hearts, and they didn't say anything, just nodded to each other and gave up. Feng Jinshan and Feng Jinbao accompanied Bai Lin back to Songning Mansion, and when they arrived, they got off the carriage on the boat, which was also a tiring carriage, but Bai Lin was not in a hurry to rest, he wanted to go to Tongshuangfu to buy some candied fruit.

Feng Jiaojiao used to always tell him how delicious the candied fruit of Tongshuangfu was, and what she looked forward to most when she was a child was that her father would go to the state capital, because when she came back, she would definitely bring her a bag of candied fruit; Choosing between preserved peaches and preserved apricots is always the hardest thing for her. And when she was pregnant with Feng Xiaobao, she couldn't eat anything for a few months, and one night she suddenly cried so badly that no matter how he coaxed her, she didn't say a word, only cried. Finally, I want to eat the sugar and salt double stains of the same double blessing.

Feng Jinbao accompanied Bai Lin to Tongshuangfu, an ancient shop that exuded a pleasantly sweet smell. Bai Lin and Feng Jinbao have been friends for many years, and he asked him what kind of products are the most popular.

A gust of spring breeze blew, and a lilac handkerchief was swept by the wind and covered Bai Lin's face impartially, and a sweet fragrance entered his nose.

Bai Lin tore off the veil and started it silky, it was a fine silk, the pattern was very chic, but the embroidery was hydrangeas. The veil is light purple, and then embroidered with purple silk threads of different shades to create a group of hydrangeas, which is very interesting, and it is also a test of the layout of the pattern and the foundation of embroidery. The smoked incense is a "spring Jingming", this sweet taste, especially liked by unmarried girls. It is made of tulip, cooked agarwood, dogwood seeds, dried ginger and honey, and the first two spices are quite valuable, so this incense is mostly used by eunuch girls.

It seems that it is not a pinky trick, Bai Lin turned around to see which lady was careless, but she was stunned at this look. It was Feng Jinbao who greeted him loudly: "Little girl Liu." ”

A soft and sweet voice responded, "Fifth Brother Feng is good." ”

Bai Lin seemed to see the willow branch six or seven years ago, when she secretly dressed up as a little maid and went into her room, in order to inquire about Li Chun's whereabouts, she was so delicate and blinked with a pair of big eyes. It's just that the one in front of me is dressed richly, and his eyebrows are carefully painted with powder, and his face is gorgeous, compared with the willow branches, the wildflowers on the mountain have been removed from the mountain, planted in purple sand pots, pruned and cut leaves, and carefully cared for.

The girl in front of her was fourteen or fifteen years old, with big eyes, a petite and delicate figure, combing a lily bun common to little girls, and a golden hibiscus with a ruby stamen to cover her sideburns. Wearing a narrow jacket with a hundred golden butterflies and a pink satin, a crepe skirt sprinkled with smoke powder, and an egg green palace silk hanging on the skirt is a hibiscus peony mutton fat jade pendant. It was the wicker, the two sisters were originally seven points similar in appearance, and the wicker was more pretty than the willow branch, because she had two small dimples and the willow branch did not.

Seeing Bai Lin holding his handkerchief in his hand, Wicker lowered his head shyly, and said, "This son is good." ”

Bai Lin didn't speak for a while, Feng Jinbao was very kind, and took the handkerchief from Bai Lin's hand for her: "This is yours, don't lose it again." Little girl Liu, are your parents okay? Does that recipe work? Is Mama Li okay? ”

The maid behind the wicker hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and the wicker saluted the two again: "Thank you, two brothers." Fifth brother, my father is fine; The recipe is very good, and my mother's cough has been cured after eating it for a few days. Mother Li is still the same, she did the Youth League the day before yesterday and wants to send you some. ”

After the greetings, the wicker took the maid and said goodbye. The closer the sedan chair got to Pomegranate Lane, the more wrinkled the wicker's eyebrows became, she really didn't want to come back, but her mother said that her chest was very tight, so she just went to Tongshuangfu to buy olives to make tea for her mother, and some snacks such as sour plums, sugar ginger, and ice grapes added flavor to her mouth.

Pomegranate Lane is inhabited by rich families with a small net worth, and the willow house is not smaller than its neighbors, but it is extra sloppy. The vines used to be untended by no one took care of them, and the withered branches and vines were piled up in such a clump, and the water on the ground was black and rotten, and the supports were rotted and turned into a pile. Children's bamboo horses, chairs with missing legs, and all kinds of broken things are piled up in every corner, and a large tank for raising goldfish is missing, and half of the tank is so green that the water is black, and there are a few tadpoles swimming.

Wicker hesitated for a moment, sorted out his mood before getting off the sedan chair, and then called the maid Ying'er to call the door. The two of them had only walked a few steps inside when they heard a deafening shout coming: "Oh, oh, Aunt is here, Auntie is here!" I saw five little boys rushing over like a bunch of large and small radish heads, and Ying'er stopped in front and was hit by a kid, and he fell into a ball.
