Struggle of Baochai

Chapter 24 Bad news

When Baochai arrived in the front yard, Mrs. Xue was wiping tears in the room.

"Mom." Baochai stepped forward and took out the handkerchief to wipe away tears for Mrs. Xue, and comforted in a low voice: "Mom, don't be sad, let's discuss earlier which one to send to mourn."

Mrs. Xue raised her head: "What you said is true, I think it's better to send Xue to send it."

Xue Song is the second housekeeper of the Xue family. He was picked up by the roadside when the old master Xue was there. He grew up in Xue's family, and he has an extraordinary affection for the Xue family. He is the most loyal, because he once rescued Xue Hong. He was given the surname Xue by fate, and now Xue Song is over forty years old. He used to do business with Xue Hong all the year round, and he is very proficient in human relationships.

Not to mention Mrs. Xue, even Baochai was very relieved to ask him to go to Lin's house to express his condolences.

"When will you send Bo off?"

Tong Fu brought the little girl up with a silver basin, Baochai twisted the veil herself and waited for Mrs. Xue to clean her face before asking.

"I'll pack some things for Miss Lin, and I'll send Xue to Yangzhou tomorrow." Mrs. Xue cried for a while, but now her mouth was a little dry, she drank her saliva, and patted Baochai's hand: "You don't have to worry, I didn't necessarily cry because of Jia Min, it was just because of him."

Baochai knew it in her heart, and after a few words of persuasion, she went back and wrote a letter to Xue Song, asking him to bring it to Daiyu himself.

After finishing these things, the day was almost over. Baochai taught Yinglian calligraphy again, took people to accompany Feng Shi, and arranged for people to take care of Zhen Shiyin. The night passed. A few tribesmen came over, and let Baochai recognize his adoptive parents in an upright manner.

When they recognized their relatives, Zhen Shiyin and Feng Shi sat on the chair, and Baochai came forward with a cup of tea, knelt down and respectfully nibbled three heads: "Father and mother, please drink tea."

Zhen Shiyin and Feng Shi took Baochai's tea with a smile, and after drinking three sips, they laughed and called Baochai to get up. Zhen Shiyin gave Baochai the four treasures of the study, and said with a smile: "This is the inkstone I used when I was studying. It is an old thing. , and now I give it to you, I hope you study hard in your studies, and you must not waste your studies."

The faces of the men from Xue's family changed color when they heard this.

They knew what their wives and grandmas said in the big room, and they blamed Baochai for not studying, but now Zhen Shiyin is encouraging Baochai to study, which is a slap in the face for them.

Baochai responded with a smile: "My daughter must live up to the teachings of her adoptive father."

While talking, she carefully put away the inkstone, and Feng Shi handed over another jade pendant: "This jade pendant was given by Princess Duanhui when my master and I were in the capital. The jade pendants are a pair. I left one for Yinglian. , I'll give you this one."

Baochai hurriedly thanked her, and the joy on her face could not be concealed by the jade pendant, she said loudly: "Xie Yimu, my daughter read the biography of the princess earlier, and the person I admire most is His Majesty the Regent. My daughter was born a few years late, and I haven't seen His Majesty's demeanor, seeing what Princess Duanhui rewarded me today is my daughter's wish fulfilled."

Feng nodded with a smile: "Not only you, but I also admire the regent, but I am better than you, but I have seen His Majesty's beautiful face. Speaking of which, there are a few of our daughters in the Qing Dynasty who are different from each other." I admire her."

This time, Xue's man Ding's face became even uglier.

Ying Lian sat at the side, nodded half understanding, with a pure smile on her lips: "I think, even men, there are many people who admire His Majesty. I heard from my father that he admires His Majesty very much."

Yinglian didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but in short, it made the Xue family look like a pig's liver, and after the recognition ceremony was over, they hurriedly got up and left without even eating a meal. Putting the thorns on it, he said with a smile: "I still want to have a few drinks with some brothers, but I can't see it today."

"Where, where, another day, another day." The members of the Xue family could only find a few excuses to leave.

As soon as they left, Baochai couldn't hide the sneer from the corner of his mouth.

Feng smiled and took Baochai's hand, and looked towards the door: "I hate those fake Taoism the most, they just point to our noses and say that women who have no talent are virtues, I think back when His Majesty was in power , who dares to say such a thing, now that His Majesty has retreated, those people are becoming more and more rampant."

Zhen Shiyin smiled and shook his head, but he didn't stop Feng Shi.

Baochai's heart is bright, and he can see Zhen Shiyin's love for Feng Shi. When he looks at Feng Shi, his eyes can't hide the love and affection, which makes Baochai's heart tremble, and he feels a little bit of envy.

She is not a girl of seven or eight years old. She lived older than the current Feng family in her previous life. She doesn't know anything. After going through so many hardships, Baochai also knows that there are most fickle men in the world. It is so easy to see Zhen Shiyin like this Even if she has no heirs, even if her daughter is lost, she will never leave her first wife. Baochai is naturally envious.

At the same time, Baochai is also happy for Yinglian, her parents are loving, and Yinglian will naturally have a comfortable life after her return.

Even if this relationship is recognized, it is inconvenient for Zhen Shiyin to stay in Xue's house. The husband and wife discussed it and decided to return to Shanghai after staying for a few more days.

It's just that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes. Today, Zhen Shiyin and Feng Shi packed up their things and prepared to say goodbye to Mrs. Xue.

Coincidentally, Baochai also knew that they were going to leave in the next few days, so she asked people to buy a lot of Jinling specialties early, packed them all up, and carried them to Zhen Shiyin with a few boys and girls. Ready to go.

Baochai looked at it with a bit of reluctance, her eye circles were red, and she forced a smile: "The adoptive father and adoptive mother finally came here, but they left in such a hurry, the daughter is very reluctant, and besides, Yinglian Once I go, I don’t know when I will see you again.”

The reluctance and nostalgia on her face were not half false, but it made Feng Shi feel a little bit sad, and hugged Baochai: "You child, Shanghai is not far from Jinling, when you miss us, you can go and see, If Yinglian is free, we can also let her come and stay at your house, so there is nothing to be reluctant about."

"Good boy." Zhen Shiyin looked at Baochai with a benevolent face: "When the foster father returns and clears up the customs, he will send someone to pick you up and take you on a boat to see the scenery on the sea."

"Then I'll wait for the adoptive father." Baochai smiled and asked someone to bring the things in: "This is a special product of Jinling. When the adoptive father and adoptive mother return, remember to take it with you. It's all my daughter's heart."

"Sister." Yinglian was very reluctant, she threw herself into Baochai's arms and shed tears: "Sister, remember to write to me in the future, and when Big Brother Xue comes back, ask him to write to me as well, so that I can rest assured."

Baochai nodded, and then supported Yinglian, when she heard a commotion outside, Baochai frowned, and just stepped out of the threshold, she saw Yinger crying, kneeling on the porch and licking her head: "Girl, girl, hurry up!" Go see your wife, just..."

"What's the matter, Mom?" Baochai asked in a deep voice anxiously.

"It's not the wife, it's the master." Ying'er cried loudly and lost her voice several times: "Young master, the young master sent a letter saying that the master has gone, he, he is already on the way with the master's body, and will be back soon."

With a plop, Baochai couldn't bear the pain, and immediately passed out.
