Red House Spring Fiber

"Yes." The young servant bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, and replied solemnly: "It's also a leisurely chatter, saying that because the county king is very angry and has nowhere to get angry, the servants and maids are very careful these days, otherwise, at least If you beat and scold severely, you will be kicked out..." Baochai pursed her lips unconsciously when she heard these words, and Fang just said indifferently: "But what you remember most these days is the above sentence, isn't it?"

The little servant nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, girl. The little one is also strange, but whenever you say a few words, the head of the county prince's family will mention it casually, as if he mentioned something." Baochai heard this , His complexion has turned slightly pale.She bowed her head and said nothing for a long time, then she nodded and said: "I see." Then she dismissed the young man and sat quietly on one side, without moving for a long time.

Ying'er and the others only said that she was worried about her elder brother Xue Pan, but they never thought that after half an hour had passed, Baochai was still silent, not as she used to be.Ying'er came up and called softly: "Miss, ma'am." Seeing her turn around, Ying'er hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, ma'am? She didn't say a word for half a day, didn't eat tea, and didn't do needlework. It's like falling asleep with your eyes open."

"It's nothing, but after thinking about it for a long time, I became a little distracted." Baochai smiled slightly, but there seemed to be a faint melancholy cloud in his eyebrows, and when he was illuminated by the evening sun, there was a bit of a strange and mysterious look. Feeling: "Go and make a bowl of tea, use the tea leaves sent by sister Feng."

Ying'er was stunned: the tea has a bland taste, which usually doesn't suit the girl's taste, why do you think of it today?Just looking at Baochai's expression, she didn't ask any more questions after all, she just responded in a low voice, and turned around to make tea.When she got outside, she thought for a moment, and finally said to the little maid next to her: "Miss is not feeling well today, you go and tell the cook to make less greasy food, but it will be refreshing. I will prepare some later in the afternoon." Refreshment should not be greasy."

The little maid agreed, then turned and went to the kitchen without mentioning it.Ying'er cooked a pot of tea, brought a cup to Baochai, and saw her drooping her head and savoring it carefully, seeming to be thinking and worrying, she didn't dare to speak, and just stood quietly on one side.But Baochai came back to his senses, and when he saw her like this, he smiled slightly: "What are you doing standing here? Instead, I told the cook a few words, my brother can't eat, so let them use the best ingredients to make fine and refreshing rice." Come here. Tete is a snack, it must be fine and good for two days. This is not at home, there is no one to take care of the food, if he is hungry for a while, he can find these cushions."

Ying'er quickly agreed, and seeing that Baochai's expression remained the same as before, she only said that it was because of Xue Pan that she did all this, so she was relieved and said, "Don't worry, girl, there are wives and relatives around you. The uncle also had no intention of harming others, but he was annoyed for a while, and the nanny was old and weak, and the two sides got together to make a prescription to make a fuss. If you take care of it, you can always turn around."

"If everything is as you said, it will be fine." Baochai closed his eyes and sighed slightly, his heart was full of sorrow: If it was as he thought, then the king of Dongping insisted on pinching his brother so that he could replace him. The county head is married, what should I do?His family already has such a heart, how can they let go easily?Although the aunt's family is also rich and noble, there is a concubine inside, so they are in-laws after all.The uncle's family has lost power again, so there is no need to mention it.But the king of Dongping County is not on the other side, he used to be the most powerful and powerful, but now he has the right... Just spread a few words, if he doesn't obey, his family will kill his elder brother, and he will have nowhere to look for excuses.

This, how should this be done!

Thinking of this, even though Baochai is usually stable, she can't help feeling anxious.At this time, there was another noise outside, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and called Ying'er: "Go and see what's going on outside?" As soon as the words fell, a person broke into the room as soon as the curtain was lifted.

It was none other than Xia Jingui.

She was originally a beauty with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, but now she rushed in with disheveled hair and raised brows, turning her eight-point beauty into a very serious one: "Girl, I have been married to your Xue family for a year or two, but I am still an outsider." ?” As she spoke, without waiting for Baochai to say anything, she began to blaspheme herself, saying that she was a prisoner of a dead ghost, and that she wanted to be a widow, which was very inappropriate.

Seeing her like this, Baochai couldn't help being angry, but she still held her own.After thinking about it for a while, she ignored Xia Jingui, who was sloppy and disobedient, and turned her head to order: "Grandma is confused, so hurry up and send her back to the house. If you invite the good doctor from outside, you will be fine." Tell your wife a few words and ask her to come over."

Hearing what was said before, Xia Jingui was still crying to herself, but when she heard that she was going to invite Xia's mother, she was shocked, and she choked up crying, and said for a long time: "Really invite my mother to come?" On one side, his eyes were indifferent, and his words were the same as before: "Where did my sister-in-law say this? Could it be that our family is still blocking the wife of my in-laws?"

Xia Jingui couldn't speak for a while.She was going to make a fuss, but she was afraid that Xue Pan would really ruin her life and she would become a widow.Not to mention the control of the in-law's family at that time, even if they remarry, they will be pointed out by others, it would be better to reconcile and leave now.Because of this selfishness, he was afraid that the Xue family would oppress him, so Fang wanted to make a fuss so that his own mother could come and help, so it was better to get rid of this prescription.

I never thought that she would be able to get what she wants just by making a few noises.

Looking at Baochai's eyes that seem to be able to see clearly, Xia Jingui turned her head slightly, but suddenly a thought came to her heart: Maybe this Xue Baochai is willing to reconcile herself.Perhaps in her opinion, a harmonious family working together is stronger than others...

Although he was not angry that Baochai underestimated him, Xia Jingui suppressed his anger when he thought of the current situation.She only wiped the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief, and she covered her mouth with the handkerchief, but her eyes were fixed on Baochai, and she said, "Young lady, are you serious?"

"Sister-in-law, isn't this a matter of course?" Baochai smiled slightly, but her eyebrows and eyes remained the same, only slightly cold, but also revealing a trace of bitterness: "If you have anything to say, just ask your wife to explain it clearly. .My family is not a family of impolite people."

Xia Jingui felt a little ashamed when she saw that she made it clear, and looked at the maids around her, her cheeks became hot, she lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Since I said that, I promise A girl's affection." After saying that, she felt blessed slightly, turned around and resigned.

Baochai was slightly startled when she saw that her behavior was very different from the past. Fang Youyou sighed and thought to herself: Sure enough, the laws of heaven and people's hearts are somewhat fair.She herself also knew that thinking about reconciling and leaving at this moment was an unreasonable thing to add insult to injury.Forget it, it's better to break up enemies than to tie them together, they are just a pair of grudges, if they live in peace for three to five years, it's fine.It is a difficult time for the family to suddenly encounter disasters. If the Xia family is going to cause trouble again, it is difficult to guard against internal thieves. It will be even more difficult for the elder brother.It would be better to fulfill their wishes, and their own family can have a good one. If they can add a little help and seek a family reunion, it will be a blessing in misfortune.

With this thought in mind, when Aunt Xue came back, she explained the matter in detail, and said: "Mom, think about it carefully, my sister-in-law has already thought about it, and Mrs. Xia has no such thought." A daughter, of course everything is close to her. Although her family is not very rich, she is also an official and businessman, and she is also rich and well-off. My brother's place is already difficult, and if the Xia family wants to make trouble again, they will give up money. Face also adds a lot of trouble. What's more, my brother and sister-in-law used to be very discordant, and now my brother's experience is also caused by the fire here. It's no fun to keep people now."

Aunt Xue was indignant at first, but she had no choice but to nod her head when she heard it. She hugged Baochai with tears in her eyes and cried, "My son, what happened to our family! Your brother is in prison now." , There is so much trouble here that we have to reconcile, and I heard it outside..." From this, I burst into tears.

Baochai thought about it for a long time, and wanted to explain what she had guessed. It can be seen that Aunt Xue couldn't hold on anymore.She couldn't help feeling sore in her heart, she moved her lips, and finally swallowed back the words that reached the tip of her tongue: Forget it, I will explain this matter clearly.It's not too late to say.

However, she did not expect that about Xia Jingui's reconciliation, Aunt Xue went to relatives' houses for a while, and then explained it to Xia's mother in detail, but it was settled within three to five days.However, Dongping Palace couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that there was no movement in the Xue family, they put their minds to rest, urged the Yamen to do something, and found a way to toss Xue Pan for a day.Although he had never been violent, it really made Xue Pan restless, without eating or drinking.

That Xue Pan was useless, how could he bear the pain, he begged for mercy within half a day.

Aunt Xue heard that she couldn't sit still, so she immediately sent someone to Mu's house, but she only brought back a sentence: "It is good to have both women and girls here, but it will be difficult to keep them in front of you." With deep meaning, Aunt Xue felt frightened when she heard it, and hurriedly looked for Baochai, said it once with her lips shaking, and then said, "Tell me, what does this Mu family mean?"

Baochai was silent for a moment, and then said for a long time: "Mom also knows about his family's affairs. According to the current theory, the concubine saw me before, and my brother bumped into me again. Maybe it was because of my thoughts, thinking of me as my substitute." His daughter went with her relatives."

Aunt Xue thought about this in a daze, but she didn't want to think about it.When she heard what her daughter said, she couldn't help crying, and wailed: "How can his family, how can he! He can't bear to bear his own daughter, and someone else's daughter, so he is about to bear it!" Seeing Baochai, her heart burst In pain, she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, she leaned on Aunt Xue, sobbing: "Mom, if it's true, just, just..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Aunt Xue burst into tears and said suddenly: "No, never again! Maybe, maybe we got it wrong... No, I'll go find your uncle and aunt. I'd rather break You brothers and sisters will not suffer!" She said, ignoring other things, she wiped the kerchief carelessly twice, and told Baochai incoherently that she must stay at home: "You stay at home, so I can rest assured."
