Baochai is a mermaid

Watching Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen leave, Xue Baoer suddenly turned her head to Wei Chi and said, "Your Majesty has been sleepy on the way here, do you want to take a rest now? I still have something to discuss with my mother and elder brother."

Recently, Wei Chi always leaves early and returns late, looking very tired. She can take care of the Xue family's affairs by herself, so it's not good to bother him all the time.

Wei Chi also didn't want to deal with Xue's mess, if Xue Pan didn't even understand this matter, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to make much progress, it's better not to delay An Ning.

But he didn't want to leave Xue Bao'er, no matter if he was used to it or protected, he didn't want to leave even half a step away.

After thinking about it, he couldn't hold back and yawned again. Xue Baoer asked Yinger to take Wei Chi to the guest room to rest first. Wei Chi raised his eyebrows and asked Yinger: "Has the guest room been cleaned today?"

The little maid who came to report the letter before was newly bought and had never seen Wei Chi, but Ying'er had seen with her own eyes how powerful this devil king is, so she knew that the question was for her, but she dared not answer.

He looked at Xue Baoer as if asking for help.

The Xue family's house in the capital is large, and Xue's mother doesn't like to take care of things. It takes a lot of energy to repair the house, buy furniture, and choose servants. After half a year of busy work, she hasn't fully settled down yet.

It happened so suddenly, she really didn't know if the guest room was cleaned today.

Seeing Yinger's expression, she knew what was going on, and Xue Baoer hurriedly helped her out: "Now you lead the people to clean the room and come out."

Ying'er seemed to be pardoned, and was about to order someone to clean it, when Wei Chi said again: "I just went to clean it, how can I sleep in the smog?"

Ying'er trembled, looking at Xue Bao'er wanting to cry but without tears, Xue Bao'er sighed helplessly: "Is my yard cleaned up?"

This time it was Xiangling who stood up and answered: "I just cleaned it today."

Ying'er cast a grateful look at Xiangling, Xiangling didn't dare to look at her at all, and only listened to Xue Baoer's order: "Take your son to rest in my yard."

Xiangling took the order and led Wei Chi to go.

Heavy news came down one after another, Xue Mu and Xue Pan were still in shock, and no one cared to object.

When Wei Chi walked away, Xue Bao'er helped Xue's mother into the main hall, and Xue Pan followed.

After the three of them sat down, Xue Baoer dispatched the servants in the room, and said straight to the point: "What the second aunt said just now is true, the Holy Majesty really intends to marry Wei Chi and Princess An Ning, and the queen has already been to Prince Zhongshun."

As soon as Xue Pan heard it, he immediately jumped up from the grand master's chair, jumping his feet anxiously: "Who did you listen to?"

Xue Bao'er then told about Princess Anning's coming to the princess mansion to run for Xue Pan. After hearing this, Xue Pan became angry: "That is to say, the queen just went to propose a marriage, and Princess Zhongshun didn't agree!"

Xue Baoer nodded: "I guess so."

Xue Pan was so excited that he almost jumped up, and immediately slapped his thigh: "I'm going to write a letter to Jinling right now, I have to divide the lineage, I'm going to earn military merit, marry An Ning and go home!"

In order to be with him, a girl from An Ning had secretly walked 99 steps without his knowing. If he couldn't accompany her to complete the last step, would he still be considered a man? ! !

When Xue Pan was full of ambitions, Xue's mother was relieved from the shock of Wang Xiluan's unmarried pregnancy, and heard Xue Bao'er say that the Queen went to Zhongshun Palace to propose marriage in person, but Zhongshun Princess did not agree, and the person whom Princess Anning likes is Xue Pan. Today I went to the princess mansion to run for Xue Pan as an official.

Where is this going?

Princess An Ning is not crazy or stupid, she likes her useless and stupid son without marrying the noble son of the Duke's mansion!

And ran for him personally!

No, Princess Anning must not be crazy or stupid, otherwise Princess De Ning would not choose her as her daughter-in-law.

The problem must be Xue Pan!

Reminiscent of Wang Xiluan's unmarried pregnancy, Xue's mother's face changed drastically, and she almost shouted: "Nizi! Did you bully the princess... Otherwise, how could they be so determined to you!"

Xue Pan: "..." Only An Ning can bully him, okay.

Xue Baoer knew a little about Xue Pan and An Ning's matter, so she hurriedly defended Xue Pan: "Mom, brother is not that kind of person!"

Mother Xue looked at her suspiciously, apparently not even believing her words.

That's right, Xue Pan's reputation in the past was indeed not very good, Xue Baoer hurriedly changed his words: "Master An Ning has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and her skills are no worse than that of her elder brother. If my elder brother wants to bully others, he must have that ability!"

Xue Pan nodded like pounding garlic.

Only then did Mother Xue catch her breath, and asked, "What's going on with the division?"

Xue Pan hurriedly said: "I don't know the clan, my son can't join the army, he doesn't have military merits, how can he be worthy of the princess! Mom, my son is not filial. After marrying An Ning, I will definitely calm down and stop worrying you!"

At the end, Xue Pan knelt down in front of Xue's mother.

Mother Xue is of course happy that her son can learn well, but dividing the clan is a big deal, and joining the army will suffer...

"The matter of dividing the clan is easy to handle. Our Changfang and the houses in Jinling have already had five blessings. They just rely on the Changfang to survive. It is not difficult to think of a lot of money."

"As for joining the army..." Mother Xue thought for a while, and forced a smile on Xue Pan, "I can't help but beg your uncle to find you an errand in the Beijing camp!"

In the next generation, Wang Ziteng looks down on Xue Pan the most. He doesn't even bother to say anything when they meet, and he doesn't mention a word in his letters. It seems that the Xue family does not have Xue Pan, and he does not have Xue Pan as a nephew. like.

It would be quite difficult to ask Wang Ziteng to arrange an errand for Xue Pan!

But Princess Anning can give up her face to Xue Pan to run an official, so what is her face as a mother?

Nothing is more important than your son's future and lifelong happiness!

Xue's mother was thinking about it, but Xue Pan shook her head and said: "Mom, the officials in the Beijing camp must either have military achievements, or be the sons of lords or come from martial arts. None of these sons, so don't bother uncle!"

He walked up to Mother Xue, knocked his head three times, raised his head after a while, and said with red eyes: "My son wants to go to the northwest to join the army, and he will earn some military merits to come back!"

The border of this dynasty is stable, and it is difficult to make meritorious deeds. If you want to get ahead quickly, there is only one shortcut that cannot be regarded as a shortcut, and that is to go to the northwest to join the army.

It is bitterly cold in the northwest, and beyond the Great Wall is an endless grassland, where brave and fierce barbarians live.

The good year is good, the grasslands are full of cattle and sheep, and the Hu people can eat and clothe themselves more peacefully.But when the calamity year comes, they will mount their war horses and go south, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

And last year was a year of catastrophe. The drought that started in summer has not been alleviated until winter. This spring, there has been no rain. The northwest border is unstable, and war may break out at any time.

In the past years, the Xue family had a caravan to trade with the barbarians outside the customs, selling high-quality furs and medicinal materials to the capital, and earning a lot of money by earning the difference.

Since the caravan sent out last spring did not return on time, Xue Pan sent someone to inquire about it, and said that war broke out in the northwest, and the caravan was in bad luck.

The Xue family stopped their business outside the customs.

Xue Pan personally told Xue Mu about this matter, and Xue Mu was terrified at the time, fasting for three consecutive months, kneeling in front of the Buddha to pray for the caravan, until they left to visit relatives in the capital.

It is very dangerous outside the pass, and the war has already started. When Xue's mother heard that Xue Pan was going to join the army in the northwest, she immediately covered her heart, and she was a little out of breath.

It is gratifying to be able to form a good family, but if it costs your life, it is not worth it.

Xue's mother disagreed anyway, but Xue Pan had made up her mind to go. Both parties wanted Xue Bao'er to help persuade each other, and Xue Bao'er was in a dilemma.

At this time, the tightly closed carved door was suddenly pushed open, Wei Chi walked in yawning, Xiang Ling almost trotted behind.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" Xue Bao'er hastily wiped away her tears, and looked up at Wei Chi.

Wei Chi stared at her wet red eyes, and said "tsk" in disgust: "The makeup is all over."

He turned his head to Xiang Ling who was behind him and said, "I still don't help your girl to wash her face."

Xiangling hurried over and helped Xue Baoer up. Xue Baoer wanted to say something, but was blocked by the guards: "There are many guards in the northwest, and not every guard has to go out to fight the barbarians. There are many generals over there. It is an old subordinate of King Zhongshun, if you are engaged to his precious daughter, will he let you go to the battlefield to fight for your life?"

"Even if he wants to practice and train you, he has to pass the test of An Ning!" Wei Chi signaled Xue Bao'er to leave it alone, but he said to Xue Pan, "Which little girl doesn't want to get married and grow old forever?" , just want to be a widow?"

Seeing that Xue Bao'er obediently let the maid help her to go to the back to wash and wash, the anger in Wei Chi's heart calmed down a little bit, but he refused to forgive him: "You took your sister home just to scare her? If so, I will Take her away now, and you'll never see her again!"

For some reason, he could calmly review the piles of memorials, and he could also listen to the quarrel of the cabinet scholars as if nothing had happened, but whenever this matter had something to do with Xue Baoer, he couldn't control his emotions well.

For example, he came to Xue's house today to build a wave of goodwill in front of Xue's family, so that they would forget as soon as possible the night at the suburban inn and... He was rude when he snatched Xue Bao'er away from Xue's house twice.

For this reason, he doesn't mind being a boy who spreads money, even if he is competing with the richest man in Jinling.

But all these efforts were in vain when he saw Xue Baoer's tears.

He originally wanted to save his terrible image in Mother Xue's heart, but in the end she was so scared that she turned pale.

Things got screwed up by him, but he didn't regret it at all.

He just couldn't figure out how Xue's mother could drive Xue Bao'er to a loss and cry because of Xue Pan's little trouble because they were also his own!

Is it because Xue Pan is her son, the hope that she will settle down in the future, and Xue Bao'er is just the water that is destined to be thrown out in the future?

Then he will take the "water" away now, and save them from splashing it.
