[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

Family ugliness cannot be exposed.Baochai only valued that the maritime trade was very profitable, but it was a pity that there were rumors that the country banned the sea one after another, and there were many barriers and levies and miscellaneous taxes. She had to cooperate with His Royal Highness the Princess, and it was just to use her status to facilitate business. A deep friendship plan.So he just avoided the seriousness and ignored the matter, and said: "I heard that the two saints in the palace and the empress dowager are not in good health. I don't know what famous doctor they can't treat."

When this matter was mentioned, the eldest princess also frowned slightly, feeling very uneasy.How the eldest princess got her glory today, she knows better than anyone else.It is said that they first made peace for the court, and then provided important information in the war, making great contributions, but there are many people of all kinds who have made contributions, and it is not a word whether the court rewards or punishes.Sometimes I rewarded at the beginning, and then regretted it after a few days, and found a reason, and punished the family to be ruined, and it is not uncommon.It is the so-called thunder's favor, all of which are rain and dew.The reason why she has been supported by the hostile eyes of the noble ladies in the capital until now is because there is a clever maid named Sang Luo beside her, who reminds her of everything, and secondly, it is because she voted for these two saints and the queen. The fate of the toffee empress.

Standing in line is the most delicate thing.Her maid, Sang Luo, had warned her more than once that she was already a person next to the two saints, so she would naturally be disgusted and feared by the people sitting on the dragon chair. useless.Therefore, he could only find a way out for himself early while the two saints were still around.She thought of developing maritime trade, which was just a way out for herself.The intention is to earn enough money, go to a small country, disguise as a man, live in seclusion, and live a happy life.However, the trip to sea has only just begun, and the caravan will only come back in the Year of the Monkey. If there is something wrong with the backer in her palace at this time, I'm afraid everything will be ruined.

Baochai calmed down, and took the opportunity to say from the side: "I heard that the two sages and the imperial concubine both suffered from phlegm disease. Coincidentally, I have a cousin whose mother also suffered from this disease. It’s cured. Why don’t you give it a try, Your Highness the Princess?”

Baochai's words were also exhausted.In fact, in terms of reason, the relationship between her and Bao Qin is closer.The reason why she said she was the cousin's mother, and she deliberately left Bao Qin out, was because she knew that Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, had always had some inappropriate problems. She loved young and beautiful women the most. It is definitely not a good thing for her to be arranged by the ladies in the capital who were expecting her bad luck all the time.Therefore, Baoqin is hidden and only Xue Biao is mentioned.

After hearing this, the eldest princess regained her energy a little bit, and just as she was about to speak, the favored maid beside her, Sang Luo, said coldly: "The imperial doctor in the palace is useless, so you can recommend a female gentleman. What's the use? Don't you know that recommending someone to enter the palace is a big responsibility. If the treatment is not good, not to mention you and me, even His Royal Highness the eldest princess will also be held accountable. You just take care of these things Just put it all aside and concentrate on taking care of the business for Her Royal Highness."

Hearing what Sang Luo said, Baochai could only apologize with a smile.Immediately, Han Qi and the others arrived, and each greeted the eldest princess.The eldest princess then ordered someone to give a banquet.When it was time to leave in the afternoon, Baochai took Yinger and Xiaohong and was about to leave when Han Qi suddenly caught up and called out from behind: "Miss Xue, please stay."

Baochai had no choice but to stop, and when he asked him what was the matter, Han Qi said: "These days there have been rumors in the capital that Master Lingtang is eager to marry a daughter, but he doesn't even pick a daughter, and even the Fu family is too busy to marry her." To talk about things, there are many people who complain about the girl. I don't want to be presumptuous, but I just want to mention one thing, how the girl thinks about the things I discussed before."

In fact, this is a marriage proposal in disguise.Although it's not polite, but after Aunt Xue made such a fuss, it's all a joke if you don't behave properly.What Han Qi meant, Baochai naturally understood that as long as Baochai said he was willing, he would send another person to the Xue family to propose a marriage, and the Fu family's continuation and marriage would not bother Baochai anymore.

Baochai answered her face to face, and went back home. When there was no one around, Yinger finally couldn't hold back and said, "Miss, in fact, Master Han's proposal is very reasonable..."

Baochai was troubled, glanced at her, and forced a joke: "Why, does Yinger have a crush on him?"

If Baochai were to marry, Xiaohong would have to decide whether to marry as a dowry, but she would definitely take Ying'er's family with her.And Ying'er is also the most likely candidate to become the big girl of Tongfang.These things were known to the whole family many years ago, so Baochai joked like this, but in fact he didn't want to mention it.

"Girl!" Ying'er really blushed, with a coquettish look, and stopped talking.

But Xiaohong got excited: "Miss, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Mr. Han is indeed a good match. The girl is troubled internally and externally at this time. It is well known that the girl's biological mother just doesn't like the girl and wants to send the girl out. She is the head of the family." Mistress, can the girl stay at home and not marry for the rest of her life? Even if the girl intends to do this, I'm afraid this family won't tolerate it. Since she will marry sooner or later, the girl doesn't have any good friends. If you just marry Master Han, it might not be a good marriage."

Baochai shook her head: "I also know his plan. It's just because he sees that I'm a good housekeeper and wants to be safe. It's definitely not that there is any real evil."

Xiaohong said anxiously: "Although it is said so, it is still a feasible path."

Baochai just shook her head.She also knew that Han Qi's proposal at this time was nothing more than calculating that she must be a good husband and son, and that she would cooperate with him in business, and the accounts would be smooth, so she thought of marrying her back home as a good wife.Men in the world are so free. When marrying a regular wife, they just want to marry a wife and a virtuous woman. Whichever woman from a poor family they like, they just take it as a concubine, or even keep them outside, so as to achieve the so-called harmony between wives and concubines.Baochai had seen through it at first, and was not unwilling, but for some reason, she suddenly resisted this model very much.In the previous life until her sad death, the Han family had not yet fallen, and it was a good place to go, but she felt very tired and didn't want to involve her personal honor and future with her husband's family who had no feelings at all.

Due to Baochai's resistance, this matter had to be temporarily pressed.One day Baochai was looking at the accounts in the shop, but the shopkeeper hurried in and said, "Master Feng is here to visit." Baochai thought for a long time, but couldn't remember who it was.When Mr. Feng entered the hall, Yinger accompanied Baochai to look behind the screen, and suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't this Mr. Feng Yuan from Jinling City? Why did you come to the capital?" ?”

Baochai came to her senses this time.This Mr. Feng Yuan, Mr. Feng, was the son of a gentry's family who robbed Xiangling together with her brother Xue Pan in the past, and lived on a small income.Because of a dispute with Xue Pan, Baochai was reminded by the voice in Jinsuo, and rushed to rescue him in time. Since then, he has been entangled by him, and even has an affair with relatives. Baochai has moved to the capital. He also sent his mother-in-law to the capital to pay his respects during the festivals, and he was not afraid that his family's property would not be able to support the expenses of coming to Beijing every year.

In fact, Baochai also had a good idea of ​​what Feng Yuan had in mind.It was probably because she was obsessed with sex and got entangled with her.In the past, she wanted to stay away from this kind of entanglement, but recently, being forced by Aunt Xue and eager to find a way out, she suddenly felt that perhaps it would be a good idea to marry Feng Yuan?

Feng Yuan is different from Han Qi's family.The former is just a powerless little squire, easy to deal with, but the latter is the son of the Zhongming Dingshi family. Even when the Xue family was in its heyday, she would be considered a high marriage if she married into it, needless to say that she was controlled by others everywhere.The most wonderful thing is that both of Feng Yuan's parents died, and his population is simple, so it doesn't matter if she raises him from now on, on the contrary, it's easier to handle.So for Baochai, it's just a matter of spending some money to buy the status of a married woman, and it's easy to go out and walk around.

After sending Feng Yuan away, Baochai went to Sun Mu's house and told his master about his plans.Sun Mu first sighed and said: "Why is your mother so confused and forced her daughter to such a point?" Yao couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation, and wanted to rush out to find Aunt Xue's theory, but fortunately, Grandma Liu, Xiang Ling and others stopped her .Sun Mu's old sister, Zhao Fang, was also on the sidelines, planning for Baochai for a while, and then said: "If Baochai doesn't want to have sex with him, Yinzi will buy some beautiful concubines for him, and open a house for his family. I'm afraid he is willing to let the branches and leaves fall apart. It's all about spending money to eliminate disasters and buying a doorway."

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed, but they couldn't object any more.Dusun Mu hesitated: "Since you are going to marry, I advise you to marry the Han family. You are marrying the son of a small gentry. If word spreads about it, I don't know what they will say. It will not be good for your reputation."

Baochai smiled wryly and said, "What else can I say? At most, it was arranged that I had an affair with Feng in the past, so I lost my head. As the saying goes, those who are clean will clean themselves, so why should I be afraid? What's more, my mother doesn't want me to stay in Xue Home, do I have another way?"

Sun Mu sighed: "Although we want to talk about filial piety, there is a cause and effect after all. Your mother's behavior is really..." She knew that Baochai was disheartened and tired after this incident, so it was obvious that the Han family had more Well, but she didn't want to marry in, and worked hard for the family of the duke's family.

"It's like this. After getting married, I will break up with my natal family and never have contact with each other. I'm afraid that others won't be able to make irresponsible remarks?" Yao Jing suddenly suggested in a surprising way.
