[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

This chapter of Jia Yan aroused the emperor's great attention. The emperor immediately conducted experiments with beggars and prisoners in the capital. Liquor that can be ignited by just a spark—it is listed as a military supply. This kind of liquor is obviously not comparable to shochu with a temperature of about [-] degrees in the general sense.

Even though the wound suturing technique is not perfect, the effect of maggot seedlings on carrion is still outstanding.For people with weak constitutions, hot water may be a good way to cool down, but on the battlefield, it is more convenient to apply spirits on a large scale.

The Jia family, the Yan family, the Xue family, and Lin Daiyu all made a lot of money.Especially the Xue family, although they lost the imperial business signboard in the early years, but this time, they got the list of sweet potato shochu and became the shochu supplier of the Ministry of War.

Xue Baochai not only took back the money used to buy fields and sweet potatoes, but also received 10 taels of silver!And someone told them that if their brothers from the Xue family go to the border, they will take care of them, and they are also willing to let some military achievements come out. What they want is to be able to learn the methods of treating those wounds earlier, so as to reduce the number of soldiers. non-combat attrition.

Xue Pan was immediately moved.

In the past, no one taught him, so he just stayed, and didn't know many things.But now, he knew that although Feng Yuan's case was closed, he had killed someone after all.If his son wants a parentage in the future, this matter will definitely have an impact.Moreover, he is a businessman, and it is certain that people in the world despise and distrust businessmen.Therefore, Xue Pan tortured Aunt Xue, saying that he wanted to go to the border.

How could Aunt Xue be willing!

Aunt Xue said: "Is it so easy for you to be at the border? That's a fight with your life! How many people are recruited by the imperial court every year, and how many can go back safely? You should be honest and serious at home."

Xue Pan said harshly: "In the past, when I was at home, you all thought I was incompetent! It was so easy to have such an opportunity! But my mother began to dislike this one and that one! Didn't my grandfather fight on the battlefield back then? Uncle? You also took this path? Why can’t you come to me?!”

Neither Xue Biao nor Xue Baoqin dared to persuade him.

Instead, it was Xue Baochai. She thought about it carefully and said, "Mom, brother's words are not pleasant, but they have some meaning. Although uncle is broken, he is still there. Besides, everyone knows that our family is The people the empress orders, even if they look down on us, for the sake of the empress, they will not torment us. If mother is worried, why don't you write to uncle and ask him for his opinion?"

Although Aunt Xue felt sorry for her son, but because of her son's determination and her daughter's persuasion, she had to write a letter to Wang Ziteng, and asked the people in the shop to go to Hangzhou to deliver the letter by hand. In the hands of Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng is still counting on his nephew and niece to pull him up, so he is naturally willing to let Xue Pan go through this.Therefore, in the letter, he not only strongly agreed with him, but also told Xue Pan who he could go to when he went to the army.

And these days, Xue Baochai has learned a lot from Jia Yan, especially the wound suturing technique. She has mastered the basic content, and after careful deliberation, she wrote it down carefully and taught it to Xue Pan little by little. Let Xue Pan memorize it by heart, Wang Ziteng's letter also arrived, and then watched Xue Pan lead the people to Yanmen Pass.

Yanmen Pass is the gateway to Gyeonggi, and it is also a majestic pass facing the grassland tribes for thousands of years, so the folk customs are sturdy.Of course, this kind of toughness is based on bloodshed and sacrifices, and on the lives of strips of robes.

Xue Pan took military supplies and spirits to find Jia Yun who had been farming near Yanmen Pass, and then went with Jia Yun to meet Yang Kuiguang, the general soldier of Yanmen Pass.

As expected, Yang Kuiguang kept his promise, and he really gave Xue Pan the military merits of ten ten commanders, and won Xue Pan a rank-[-] military title for Xue Pan.

Wang Ziteng used to be the Jiedu envoy of the military camp, so he has connections in the army, and Zhongjing Hou Shi Nai also came from military merits, so naturally he also has connections.Therefore, before Xue Pan's military commander came down, the historian sent the news to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia no longer hesitated.

Therefore, when the red plum blossoms in Huifang Garden were in full bloom this year, when Jia's mother and other female family members went to Ningguo Mansion to enjoy the plum blossoms and eat wine, someone bumped into Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu's lonely man and widow sharing a room and sleeping on the same bed!

How could Xue Baochai not know that she was being tricked?She has always been careful, but firstly, the rouge wine from the Western Regions is really sweet, and secondly, she only drank two cups.If it wasn't for the weirdness of the wine, why would she be so overwhelmed that she had to leave early?If it wasn't for the weirdness of the wine, how could she not even have the strength to leave Ningguo Mansion, so she could only sleep in the room prepared by Qin Keqing?And, all right, how did Jia Baoyu break into the room where she was sleeping?How could it be broken by someone?

Xue Baochai hated her so much!

She knew that the one who would and could do this must be Mother Jia.

If it was just rumors, she would have to wait two years to discuss marriage, but now that she was found sharing the bed with Jia Baoyu, she would have to marry even if she didn't marry.Otherwise, she really can only hang herself on the southeast branch or directly become a monk and become a sister-in-law.

Rao Xue Baochai was full of wit and wisdom and was known as a city mansion. When the incident broke out, she didn't come up in one breath, and her whole body was cold and hot all at once. It turned out that the heat poison in the fetus was responsible.

As soon as the inside and outside were attacked, Xue Baochai fell down.However, Aunt Xue is an unintentional and soft-hearted person. When people talk about it behind her back, she thinks that Xue Baochai's marriage to Jia Baoyu is not bad: now Xue Baochai's reputation is gone, and there is no other way but to marry Jia Baoyu. .Moreover, no matter how ineffective Jia Baoyu is, he is also Jia Yan's cousin.Only in this way, the relationship between their Xue family and the empress will be closer.

By the time Xue Baochai woke up, the marriage letter between her and Jia Baoyu had already come down, before her 17th birthday.

Xue Baochai, who was lying on the hospital bed, burst into tears, and said to Aunt Xue: "Mom, why are you so confused!"

Even being a monk is better than marrying Jia Baoyu!

Aunt Xue said: "But, but, Madam Zhongjinghou said..."

Although it is only a name, it is enough for Xue Baochai to know the trick here: "Mom, don't you understand? Mrs. Zhongjinghou is Shi Xiangyun's aunt. Shi Xiangyun is still restless when he is married, and he is so dissatisfied when he comes to Wei's house I was divorced at one point. Although she used me as a shield, everyone can see what I did. Therefore, the reputation of Shi Xiangyun and the historian has been getting worse and worse these days. If this marriage is not made, how can the historian put himself Take it out? Nowadays, there will definitely not be rumors that their historians are bad, but it must be that we say one thing and do another, and that I am low!"

"how come……"

Aunt Xue was dumbfounded.

Xue Baochai said: "Besides, Mom, what the empress once said, the second master and Baoyu can only stay at home for the rest of their lives. The second master is just a low-level official, and he has his own eldest son and grandson. What is Baoyu? The second son of an eighth-rank official? He is doomed to have no future. That is to say, in the future, after the old lady is separated from the family, he will leave. Why should I marry such a person? ah?"

Aunt Xue finally realized that Mother Jia wanted to find a nanny for Jia Baoyu!

Aunt Xue hesitated and said: "Then, what should we do now?"

Xue Baochai thought for a while, and said: "The historians have a part in this matter, and so does the old lady... After all, the old lady is the mother's real grandmother, and the marriage certificate has already been issued, so we cannot withdraw the engagement."

Aunt Xue said: "Then what should I do?"

Xue Baochai thought for a while, and said: "Mom, no matter what, we must seek Sister Xing for Brother Tiao. This is the only way I can think of that can bring us closer to the empress."

Mrs. Jia Zhengwang plotted against Jia's family, and Xue Baochai believed that Jia Yan's heart would not be without grudges.Now that she is engaged to Jia Baoyu, it will definitely affect their Xue family's status in Jia Yan's heart. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the relationship with Jia Yan.And marrying Xing Xiuyan is one of the ways.

Xue Baochai also knew that Xing Xiuyan's parents were worthless, but their Xue family was not short of money, and they had money to support a few idlers. Compared with the relationship with the empress, this money was nothing at all.

Xue Baochai immediately sent someone to notify Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin.

Xue scorpion really is willing.

First, he heard from Xue Baoqin that she was an excellent woman, not to mention her appearance, what was rare was her temperament, gentle and elegant, marrying such a woman would definitely be excellent for his future children.More importantly, Xing Xiuyan is Mrs. Xing's niece, if this marriage can really be done, then the Mei family will come to please Xue Baoqin.

It's just that even if the Xing family is not good, they are now the empress's uncle, so I'm afraid they will dislike their Xue family as a merchant's family.

Xue Baochai had no choice but to shelve this proposal for the time being.

I don't want to, not long after, that is, in February of this year, Xue Pan came back, bringing back the rank-eight Junjue, and the identity of the Xue family immediately changed.

Xue Baochai had a vague suspicion that it was because Jia's mother knew about this in advance that she was plotting against her.Because Xue Pan has military merits and received a military title, even if her rank is very low, she, Xue Baochai, can confidently say that she is also a daughter of a nobleman.

However, it is useless to think about it now, the important thing is the marriage between Xue Biao and Xing Xiuyan.

Xing Xiuyan's parents heard that the Xue family also had a title and was willing to support them, so they immediately agreed to the marriage, and went to the yamen to write a marriage certificate for Xue Biao and Xing Xiuyan without even informing Mrs. Xing.
