Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

In this era, when someone asks about his sisters in front of his face, the meaning of getting married is already obvious.Of course, the reverse is also true. Mentioning to others that you have a younger sister in your family also means that you intend to betroth the other party.

So when Zhao Ziyi asked this question, the expressions of the other three people were a little strange.

Bo Yang didn't expect him to be so straightforward. After all, it is said that ancient people were very reserved and euphemistic. Zhao Ziyi's way of asking questions would be directly dismissed as a disciple.

Xue Pan felt that this question was full of malicious intent.He himself has such a relationship with Bo Yang, so he is inevitably more sensitive in this regard. He always feels that Zhao Ziyi's question is because he has some unreasonable thoughts about Bo Yang, so he is naturally more vigilant.

Lin Qi was the most surprised one.Because he knew Zhao Ziyi's attitude towards those beauties very well.He appreciates, but never wants to possess.

It's not that no one wants to join in, even the Supreme Emperor, Empress Dowager and Emperor in the palace, as well as the elders of the eldest princess's mansion, have all expressly hinted that if any girl can catch his eyes, regardless of her family background, can be hired for him.

But the strange thing is that Zhao Ziyi himself did not have such an idea.He likes beauties, but they don't actually have any sexual/desire meaning, and he admires beautiful flowers and delicate fabrics with him.Well-made utensils make no difference.

Lin Qi once couldn't understand his hobby.

Although he has a serious personality, as a man, it is his nature to eat sex. Lin Qi asked himself, if he admired a woman, he would never be able to do it without other meanings.

In addition, Lin Qi still has a little worry in his heart that he can't express.Zhao Ziyi, who was used to seeing allures but couldn't find a charming mind, what kind of lady would he marry in the future?

Zhao Ziyi's elders were more or less worried about this, but now that he was young, he was still uncertain, so everyone only vaguely had such a thought, and hadn't thought about how to solve it.

So now that Zhao Ziyi blurted out such a question, how could he not surprise Lin Qi?

Is his friend finally enlightened?

Yes, in Lin Qi's view, the only reason that can explain Zhao Ziyi's various actions is that he has not yet enlightened and does not understand the relationship between men and women, so he will not have other thoughts.

However, this change came so suddenly, without any warning before, it still made Lin Qi feel a little strange.But he glanced at Bo Yang, and his heart became a little clearer.He had also thought about what kind of beauty could make Zhao Ziyi feel at ease. Bo Yang was far better than the character he had imagined out of thin air, so it was not surprising that this result came about.

But even so, it is still a little inappropriate to ask such questions when they meet for the first time.He stretched out his hand to give Zhao Ziyi a hand, and said with a smile, "He is reckless, please don't take offense."

Bo Yang said, "It's okay, but my parents only have one child, I have no brothers or sisters. There are two righteous sisters." In the current situation, we can only pretend that Zhao Ziyi only asked questions out of curiosity and pretended that he didn't understand what he said I mean it.

On the other hand, Zhao Ziyi heard him mention the two righteous sisters, and immediately guessed that they were the ones who went to the street with him that day, secretly thinking that the whole family had grown up together.I don't know what the two girls would look like without the pretense on their faces.

But he could directly rush to see Bo Yang, but he didn't dare to inquire about the girls in front of Bo Yang, so he just thought about it.

But if someone thinks that Zhao Ziyi will just give up, they are wrong.Everyone has a love of beauty, and the reason why Hejun Wang is able to stand out among them, and he has heard of his reputation even in the capital, is naturally because he is more persistent than others.

Not being able to see him now doesn't mean he won't be able to see him in the future. If he has frequent contacts with Xue Pan and Bo Yang and has a close relationship, he will be able to see the female family members of Xue's family sooner or later.

With this kind of friendship in mind, Zhao Ziyi's behavior after that was much more normal.

Although the two of them came to see Bo Yang, there was no excuse at all.Lin Qi knew that Zhao Ziyi couldn't be stopped, so he was naturally prepared, and immediately said, "I heard that Brother Xue came to Beijing this time, and he brought back a kind of high-quality spice, intending to supply it to the inner government?"

"Brother Lin is well informed." Xue Pan nodded, and looked at Lin Qi in surprise.

It was almost the twelfth lunar month when he entered Beijing, and the inner mansion was busy buying new year's items. Although the spices were fresh, he didn't dare to present them just like that. He had to find out whether the masters in the palace liked it. That's good.So even though Xue Pan got the note from the inner palace, he had to wait until the end of the Chinese New Year to make arrangements for the rest.

Although this is not a big deal, few people should know about it at present.Lin Qi was able to get the news, presumably his identity was different from others.

Of course, it is impossible for the best friends who come and go with the county king to come from ordinary families.Xue Pan thought for a while, then smiled, "This trivial matter of mine is nothing to worry about. I haven't asked where Brother Lin is working now?"

"What kind of serious job is that for him? It's just running errands at Shangyu's spare place." Zhao Ziyi laughed teasingly.

Lin Qi glanced at Zhao Ziyi, but did not refute.On the contrary, Xue Pan and Bo Yang couldn't help being awed when they heard the words.It sounds like the Shangyu backup office does not know what it is for, but it is actually an intelligence organization set up by the imperial court to investigate all kinds of intelligence inside and outside the capital, and to monitor all officials.

No matter what era it is in, the status of intelligence agencies must be of great importance.Although it looks like a humble position, it actually holds invisible power.

No wonder Lin Qi was able to know about spices.

However, the reason why Bo Yang and Xue Pan felt awe-inspiring was not just because of this spice.Rather——even such insignificant trifles are still in danger of knowing, let alone others?

From this, Bo Yang even thought of the situation in Jia's family.Now it seems that the reason why the Jia family is so arrogant is not because the higher-ups didn't see it, but because they are staring at their mistakes.I am afraid that one day they will start to fight, and now that these evidences are presented, there is no room for change at all.

Knowing what the final outcome of Jia's family will be, Bo Yang's deduction is not far from the truth.

Although Xue Pan's thinking was not as far-reaching as his, but thinking of his whereabouts being watched all the time, he couldn't help feeling a little bit afraid.He is being watched here, and there will probably be no shortage of people elsewhere. The power of the court is so great. If someone really has other thoughts, I am afraid that he will soon be on a dead end.

Xue Pan was used to lawlessness in the past. Although he suffered a little in the past two years, he has gained a lot of knowledge, and he is not without complacency in his heart.After all, with his background and ability, he is already a leader among his peers.

Now that he sees the more outstanding Hejun Wang and Lin Qi, and also knows such secret news, knowing that the world is big but his own body is shallow, the trace of arrogance in his heart has long since disappeared without a trace.

Both of them could understand that the identity of Shangyu's backup office might not be so easy to be known. Zhao Ziyi's move was meant to show favor, and Lin Qi did not object.Thinking about it this way, I felt somewhat fond and close to these two people in my heart.

Both of them wanted to befriend each other, and the conversation that followed naturally went smoothly.Lin Qi said that the affairs of the inner palace are complicated, and the matter of the spices will be delayed for a long time. If they don't mind, they can go another way - dedicating the spices to the eldest princess.The eldest princess was born noble and knew a lot about spices, and even made many varieties by herself.If this kind of incense can be liked by her, and then sent to the palace, it can not only elevate the status of spices, but also save the intermediate procedures, which is the best of both worlds.

Zhao Ziyi said without losing the opportunity that he could help out in the middle, saying that it was a gift from a friend, honoring his mother, and it was very cheap.

This is tantamount to a good deed sent to your door, but it made Bo Yang hesitate for a while.Although he had seen some of Zhao Ziyi's temperament before, Bo Yang still couldn't believe it if a county king was really so naive.Not to mention Xue Pan, Zhao Ziyi was still an imaginary rival in love in his eyes, so naturally he was not very willing to accept the other party's charity.

Seeing this, Zhao Ziyi smiled and said, "It's just a little kindness from me, you two don't have to worry about it. Besides, what happens next depends on whether mother likes this kind of spice. I just did it casually. If it makes you feel bad, it's me No more."

Speaking of this, Bo Yang happened to have leftover spices here, so he took them out and handed them over to him.

After they left, Bo Yang and Xue Pan looked at each other in amazement.Bo Yang thought for a while, and asked, "What are they here for? It's not just to worry about how to send the spices into the palace for us, right?"

"Take care of him, nobles, how can we think clearly?" Xue Pan said, "Since all the guests have come here, Brother Yang should move back home quickly. I think they will come again , it’s not good to treat guests here.”

Although Xue Pan was dissatisfied with Zhao Ziyi in every possible way, there was always one thing that was good: he could naturally see that Bo Yang didn't really want to go back to Xue's house.Now that he's here, it's not easy for Bo Yang to continue living here.

"Alright." Bo Yang thought for a while, and said, "Go back and find out, no matter what it is, it's always good to be prepared."

He said he was going to pack up and go back, but in fact Bo Yang didn't bring anything out.He packed his belongings, hired a carriage and went back.When Aunt Xue and Baochai heard about Bo Yang's return, they couldn't help but get close to each other before mentioning today's two guests.

When he found out from Aunt Xue who He Junwang was and how he behaved on weekdays, Bo Yang couldn't laugh or cry, but Xue Pan wished he could list him as a person who refused to deal with him.
