[Red Mansion + Martial Arts] The Virgin Strikes

"Yes," Aunt Xue sent the nanny into the back room with the little daughter in her arms, before returning to the master: "When I corresponded with my sister, that's what she said, will my real sister still lie to me?"

"When did it happen?"

"Uh, four or five years ago, she said that her elder was ignorant, and he liked to drink with my concubine all day long."

"What happened later?" Mr. Xue coughed even worse.

Aunt Xue hurriedly got up to support him and patted him on the back. "Later? Later, my sister and I didn't communicate."

"Confused, people will change!" Mr. Xue got angry, and even coughed worse, coughing a cup of tea before he stopped. "I heard that the Qingling Mausoleum that Mr. She has been building for four years has won the appreciation of the emperor and King You. Now he is ordered to inspect the salt affairs of various provinces. How can he be an ordinary person? I'm afraid those hobbies are ignoring your sister. I see you Eldest sister is not a very powerful person in Rongfu."

"How could it be..." Aunt Xue didn't believe it. When she communicated with Eldest Sister before, what Eldest Sister said clearly meant that she was in power over the entire Rong Mansion.

"You, a businessman knows how to sway a gun, let alone their official family." Master Xue sighed, got up, asked the servant to help him and hurried to see Jiang Xiao, and suggested that he change his attitude quickly and regard Master Xi as an upright person. Lianming's official service is enough.

When Jiang Xiao got the letter, he immediately picked out four safe mothers, two cooks and eight maidservants, and sent them to the post station. After waiting anxiously for half an hour, he finally heard the news that the imperial envoy had agreed. I was relieved.

After staying in Jinling for two days, Qian Xiaoqiao was delighted to see no news from Xue's family.Send someone to only Xue's mansion, and he will go there tomorrow.

The next day, when Qian Xiaoqiao arrived at Xue's residence, he found out that Aunt Xue's husband was seriously ill, but he still came to receive her in spite of his illness.Qian Xiaoqiao was terrified, if she had known that Master Xue was ill, she would not have come.If Mr. Xue was tossed to death because of her once, would it be considered an unnatural death or a natural death?Qian Xiaoqiao changed from his usual arrogance, supported Mr. Xue with great concern, and asked him to rest on the couch.This action moved the Xue family and his wife, they actually treated Jia Amnesty as if they were their own elder brothers.

Qian Xiaoqiao handed Mrs. Wang's letter to Aunt Xue, and said many comforting words before leaving.

Mr. Xue admired Mr. She's character very much, and said to his wife: "He is really an upright man with elegant character."

Aunt Xue felt the same way, she opened the letter with a smile, and after browsing through it briefly, her complexion darkened, she frowned and didn't know what to say.Master Xue saw that she looked wrong, and asked her what was going on in her heart.Aunt Xue didn't speak, sighed, and gave the letter to her husband.Master Xue read the letter, his expression was not good, he frowned and thought deeply for a while, then lay down on the bed and didn't speak.

To thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Jinling family, of course it cannot be completed in a day or two, let alone the New Year's Eve of this year will be spent in Jinling.Qian Xiaoqiao did some calculations. After a thorough investigation and the collection of evidence, it will take the spring of next year at the earliest. After all this work is over, he will still use Jinling as a base to check the salt administration of the surrounding counties. It will probably take a month. time.

Before the winter was over, Qian Xiaoqiao heard the news that Mr. Xue's family had suddenly become seriously ill.Since Jiang Xiao was asked to come here to report, Qian Xiaoqiao guessed that Master Xue couldn't stand it anymore.In the past six months since they were in Jinling, the Xue family has often traveled here, including the relationship between the Rong Mansion and the Xue family.Qian Xiaoqiao felt that as the eldest son of the Rong Mansion, he should go, so early in the morning, before the chimney smoked, he hurried to Xue's house with Jiang Xiao.Jiang Xiao seemed to have a very good relationship with Master Xue, and couldn't help crying while on the road.Under Qian Xiaoqiao's careful questioning, he found out that Jiang Xiao and Master Xue had known each other since the young man, and they were considered confidants. He went to see Master Xue last night, worried, so he stayed outside.

Qian Xiaoqiao squinted his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Xiao with a goatee. He had a square face, average appearance, and nothing special about him.And that Mr. Xue, even though he was ill and out of shape, he could see a bit of his heroic appearance back then.These two men are probably more than just friends.

When the two arrived at Xue's mansion, they heard earth-shattering cries in the mansion.Jiang Xiao had already gone to the main room before Qian Xiaoqiao, and not long after, the sound of his wailing came from the room.Different from the cries of the servants doing the scenes, Jiang Xiao's cries were sincere and filled with deep sorrow.

Qian Xiaoqiao stopped walking, thinking outside the door, thinking that Master Xue's death was due to illness and should be a natural death.Only then did he lift his foot into the house and express condolences to Aunt Xue, mother and son.Aunt Xue cried until she was in tears, she couldn't speak, she opened and closed her mouth for a long time, she rolled her eyes and passed out, the servants hurriedly helped the wife to rest in the back.Qian Xiaoqiao felt that it was not easy to stay for a long time, so he dragged Jiang Xiao away, but Jiang Xiao refused, and wanted to guard the spirit of Master Xue.

"Watching the spirit? Hurry up and go back with me. Keeping the spirit is the work of his wife and children. What are you doing!"

"I—" Jiang Xiao looked at Master She with a guilty conscience, and finally bowed his head limply, and followed Jia She.

The next day, Xue's residence held a funeral, Qian Xiaoqiao went to attend the ceremony on behalf of Rong's residence, Jiang Xiao was already there, so he didn't know the so-called helping Aunt Xue's busy reception of male guests.Qian Xiaoqiao sat for a while, squinting at Jiang Xiao's busy figure.Suddenly I thought of Xue Pan, it's no wonder that he is good at masculinity, it turned out to be inherited from his father.In Jinling's generation, masculinity is prevalent, and there are no fewer than four or five single-handed ladies.So not only the Xue family, but even ordinary people like Feng Yuan like this.

When Feng Yuan was mentioned, Qian Xiaoqiao shuddered, counting on his fingers, the day when Feng Yuan hurt people is not far away, it is better for him to leave Jinling as soon as possible.

……

After leaving Jinling, Qian Xiaoqiao was relaxed, and took Mrs. Xing and Yingchun for a trip to the mountains and rivers.Qian Xiaoqiao then asked the accompanying master about his next schedule.

The master cautiously took out a booklet from his pocket, examined it carefully, and finally pointed to "Yangzhou" and said, "It's time to go here, the master in charge of the local salt administration is Lin—"

"I know, Lin Hai." Qian Xiaoqiao had a bad premonition.

It was another bleak season, and a group of them came to Yangzhou.After entering Lin's residence, he got the news that Jia Min was seriously ill from Lin Ruhai.

Qian Xiaoqiao squinted his eyes, cursing King You thousands of times in his heart.Co-authoring his imperial envoy trip is basically a 'death journey'.Ever since receiving the system's so-called unnatural death indicator, Qian Xiaoqiao's heart trembled whenever he heard someone 'dead'.You must know that the system defines that it is within the scope of her contact, so anyone who has contact with her should not die casually, at least to ensure that these people are alive before Baoyu's wedding.Qian Xiaoqiao felt that he would definitely have a heart attack if things went on like this, so he might as well marry Baoyu this time and find a family, preferably a baby-married, early-married kind.

After winter, Jia Min's illness became more and more unbearable.As the eldest brother, Jia Amnesty ran to the Lin Mansion as much as possible to visit her.Looking at Jia Min and the Lin family, reminding Qian Xiaoqiao of the last mission, she always felt as if she owed Jia Min, and tried her best to make up for her.As for Lin Ruhai and Daiyu, Qian Xiaoqiao also tried his best to help them as the eldest brother.Jia Min was very contented to see her natal family whom she missed so much when she was seriously ill, and she often listened to elder brother talk about the Rongfu, which was considered comfort on the sick bed.But spiritual support couldn't resist Jia Min's already hollowed out body. On the afternoon of December 24, she closed her eyes wearily and never opened them again.

Daiyu cried so hard that her heart broke, and Lin Ruhai was also heartbroken.

While Jia Min was seriously ill, Lin Ruhai had already corresponded with Jia's mother.After this death, Mother Jia heard the news and was going to submerge the boat to pick up Daiyu. Later, she heard that Jia Amnesty was here, so she wrote another letter, asking Jia Amnesty to escort Daiyu all the way to Beijing.

Qian Xiaoqiao didn't agree, and rejected Jia's mother on the grounds that he still had business.He persuaded Lin Ruhai with his thoughts, hoping that he would give up the idea of ​​sending Daiyu to Beijing alone.

"I'm her big brother, maybe I shouldn't say such heartless words to you, but it's true. Whether you love it or not, that person is gone. You can't choose to give up the other just because you lost one." Daiyu It is the continuation of my sister's life, and you, as a father, have the responsibility and obligation to take care of her."

"But I'm not a woman after all, how can I be so careful, and it will not be convenient for me to be a man when Daiyu talks about marriage in the future." Lin Ruhai frowned.

"You are his own father, you are inconvenient, is there anyone who is more convenient and caring about her than you?" Qian Xiaoqiao glared at him.

Lin Ruhai pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and nodded, "Brother is right."

"Take care of your own bones first, as well as your daughter's." Qian Xiaoqiao persuaded.

Lin Ruhai nodded and complied well.

After Qian Xiaoqiao finished persuading Lin Ruhai, he began to inspect the salt administration step by step, collecting all the information.Seeing that all these things were almost done, and they could go home by boat, a letter came from Jinling in a hurry.

When Qian Xiaoqiao received the letter, he felt equally heavy.When I opened it and read it, I was immediately dumbfounded.

Jiang Xiao is going to resign and commit suicide? ? ?

Qian Xiaoqiao had no choice but to arrange for Mrs. Xing and Yingchun to stay and tell them to leave when the boat was ready.He took the dry road to Jinling first to meet Jiang Xiao, which can be described as a day and night journey, afraid that Jiang Xiao would really die in the future, and her previous mission would be in vain.

After rushing to Jinling, Qian Xiaoqiao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Xiao intact.But the ensuing anger also made her out of control.

"My lord, I can't take it anymore, I just want to die. You are the imperial envoy, you can accept my resignation immediately. If I report my resignation now, it will take a few months for the official department to send a new one." I can't wait to take office."
