Chapter 110 The hairpin in the dowry 4

Xue Pan said: "Even if my sister doesn't say anything, I will restrain myself when I go to the capital. However, Master Thirteen is different, but I have never heard of him bullying others. When I was young, I led troops to fight, and I admire people who can kill the enemy on the battlefield. The Thirteenth Lord is called the King of Heroes, and I have heard a lot about his deeds." Xue Baochai has never heard of anyone whom Xue Pan admires so much. , I thought it would not be possible to buy it in a short time, and said: "The Thirteenth Master? Or the King of Xia? Who deserves this title, could it be the current prince?"

Xue Pan said: "That's right, it's the prince. Now you know, it's not easy for him to live here without being disturbed, so don't misunderstand that he is bullying others." Baochai said: "I know I can't tell, my brother actually has someone who admires him, since that's the case, I'll ask someone to order some special products we brought from Jinling, and my brother can send him a copy, and we can also say thank you."

Xue Pan said: "That's good, let someone prepare it, and I'll go right away."

Xue Pan was afraid that the prince would not accept it, so he deliberately followed what his sister taught: "It's not worth a few taels of silver, it's just some Jinling's unique flavor, which is not common here in the capital, it's just a fresh picture, please accept it with a smile. .”

All the way was safe and sound, but unexpectedly, at the last station in the capital, there was an accident.

Baochai slept very lightly, and the sound of someone stepping on the tiles on the roof was so soft that no one else could hear it, but it was very loud in her ears. She thought that her family's carriages and horses had attracted thieves, and she was planning to follow them. Those who are not long-sighted are all resolved.After careful inspection, I found that this is not the case, those people are not here for them, and in this world where there is no inner strength and mentality, the skill is already considered top-notch, and it is not the skill that ordinary thieves can have at all!

The thirteenth prince Yinxiang had never slept so deeply. He felt that someone was trying to wake him up, but he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.

Baochai saw that this man couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed, he must have been drugged, and all his attendants were poisoned without exception.Baochai fed him some antidote to the drug, and before the medicine fully exerted its effect, someone had already opened the door and came in. Baochai saw that there was nowhere to hide, so he flew up and hid in a corner of the top of the bed. .

At this moment, Yinxiang finally opened his eyes dimly, and saw Baochai on top of his head, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, thinking that he must have not woken up, otherwise unless the girl is a spider spirit, how could she be like this? The one standing on top of the bed in an unbelievable posture? !

Xue Baochai pointed in the direction of the door, put one hand in front of his mouth, and made a gesture of silencing him.

Yinxiang was dizzy, but he had seen Baochai during the day and knew she was a girl from the Xue family.After seeing her actions, she knew that the person who opened the door at this time was even more suspicious.So he looked at Baochai again, and Baochai shook his head slightly at him, expressing that he didn't know who it was.

The door opened, and two men in black walked in quietly. They each held a gleaming long knife and walked to Yinxiang's bed. Seeing his eyes open, one of them said in surprise: "Such a heavy dose You have not fallen asleep yet, the thirteenth master is indeed quite unique."

Yinxiang expended all his strength to speak, "Who are you, and what do you want to do to me?" He thought he was shouting, but his voice was very small, like a mosquito.He knew in his heart that it was not good, he had never encountered such a situation in his life, and there was a little girl hanging on top of his head, he didn't dare to look up, for fear that those two people would follow his gaze and take the girl The little girl of the Xue family was also exposed to danger.

Although he didn't wake up before, it should be that the little girl kept nagging in his ears, trying to wake him up, and even fed him something cool, so he finally woke up.

Yinxiang is not called a hero for nothing. He feels that since he is in danger, even if he dies unfortunately, his fate is destined, but he doesn't want to hurt others.

The man in black said: "Master Thirteen, I advise you to obediently hand over the roster, so that everyone will be more convenient, otherwise, you will have to suffer more before you die."

When Yinxiang heard this, he knew that these people didn't just want the roster, but also wanted his life.He said: "This roster is related to the list of all corrupt officials in the south of the Yangtze River. Which one... the conscience let the dog eat and sent you to cut off the beard?"

"The Thirteenth Lord doesn't need to ask so many questions. You only need to cooperate and hand over the roster. If you insist on not cooperating, then I have no choice but to wipe out all of you and let no one in the world know about the roster." the whereabouts of it."

Yinxiang knew that even if he said it, he would die, and if he didn't, he would die.Why should he be a villain who sells state secrets just to survive for a short time!

He raised his eyes and saw Xue Baochai was still in that posture of climbing on the top of the bed, not moving at all, thinking that he should not hurt the innocent, they would kill him later and search the bed, as long as they looked up, they would see her, so He struggled to get out of bed.

Baochai's antidote was preserved in the previous world, and it is not very suitable for this drug, so although Yinxiang is clear-headed, he has exhausted his whole body no matter whether he speaks or moves.Seeing that he was struggling to get out of bed, Baochai looked at him and asked, "What do you want to do?"

It's a pity that Yinxiang never looked at her again and couldn't respond to her.

The two men in black asked: "The lord has thought it over clearly, and wants to hand over the roster to us?"

Yinxiang got off the bed already covered in cold sweat, no matter what he couldn't get to the table, he spit out two words one by one: "Dream!"

Just when one person's big knife was about to cut Yinxiang's neck, Xue Baochai jumped off the top of the bed suddenly, without seeing clearly how she did it, she pulled Yinxiang aside, and with a light wave of his hand, the person used The knife wiped his neck.

When another man in black saw the sudden appearance, he was taken aback. He hurriedly whistled to his accomplices outside, and then rushed up. Four other men in black who were letting the wind out rushed in at the same time.

Yinxiang was in a hurry, but his body was drugged and his actions were restrained. His heart in his chest was beating wildly nervously. He was afraid that they would slash at Xue Baochai with the gleaming broadsword, and that his chance of survival would be cut off.In Yinxiang's view, although the process was dangerous and risky, Xue Baochai was unscathed in the end. On the opposite side, five of the six people had died.The last one, who didn't know what she did to her, actually kept a posture, motionless.But Yinxiang can be sure that the man is definitely not dead.

After the dust settled, Baochai said to Yinxiang: "I'm sorry, it's enough for you to leave a torture to extract a confession. They came aggressively, so I'm going to be a little heavy handed. And staying too many people, too many people, exposed me. It’s not good, this is also the last one, I believe that the Thirteenth Prince will not let this person who tried to kill you come out of your house alive.”

Yinxiang stared and said, "Who are you?"

Baochai said angrily: "I'm just someone who has nothing to do with it. I thought these robbers were here to take our property. Seeing that they were dealing with the prince and his gang, I thought of coming to your room to wake you up. Otherwise, I wouldn't It's stuck here."

She looked at Yinxiang very sincerely and said: "I really didn't intend to get involved. For the sake of saving your life, please hold your hands high. Don't tell anyone about this, including my family. I haven't been here before, okay?"

After this crisis, Yinxiang's roster was not taken away, all thanks to her, and as she said, it was also a life-saving grace. Yinxiang saw that the little girl looked serious and didn't seem to be lying, so she said: " As long as you are as innocent as you said, and you have no intention of harming me or the court, I promise you, only the two of us know about this matter."

Baochai finally showed a smile: "That's good. The prince should rest early, I have to go back."

The next day, when the Xue family set off, Mrs. Xue still blamed Xue Pan for getting up late as usual. Get on the sedan chair separately.

Yinxiang saw Baochai at the window in the room, just like an ordinary rich business lady. Two maids supported the sedan chair and watched them leave. He was a little envious of their ordinary life. After he returned with the list this time, the capital There is bound to be a storm.

In the inner house of Jia's family in the capital, Mrs. Wang is sitting and talking with Jia Mu and others. Baoyu, Daiyu, Sanchun, Sister Feng and others are sitting at the knees of Cheng Huan as usual.

Suddenly a mother-in-law came to report: "The wife of Xue's family has come to Beijing with her brothers and sisters, and she has arrived at Rongning Street."

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed when she heard this, and took Baoyu and several girls to the door to meet her.

The old lady of the Jia family also knew the news that Mrs. Xue was going to Beijing, and she was thinking about it these days. She heard that the three of them had arrived, and they were anxious to meet each other, so they went out of the house.

When Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Wang met in their twilight years, needless to say they were full of sorrows and joys. After saying a few words, they came to visit the old lady together. Everyone met one by one, and they were busy fixing the reception banquet.Xue Pan was received by Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and others outside, and Mrs. Baochai Xue naturally sat with the old lady and others in the inner house.

At the banquet, Baochai met Jia's mother again. The old lady Jia held Baochai's hand affectionately all the time, and asked her if she was tired from the journey and how she was eating. Baochai answered each one with a smile, and then greeted the old lady well.

Jia's mother said to the people around her: "I used to only know that all the girls in our family are one-of-a-kind talents, but I didn't expect to be compared to others today. With Baochai's appearance and demeanor, my aunt really knows how to raise daughters. Why don't you?" In the future, the four of our family will also be raised in your place."

Originally, there were only three girls in Sanchun in their family, but the old lady said there were four, obviously adding Lin Daiyu, which shows that she never regarded her granddaughter as an outsider, and everyone knew that Mother Jia was joking.

Daiyu was happy when she heard this, but she was angry because Jia Mu made fun of them.Baochai was looking over with a smile, and was facing Daiyu's angry expression, and winked her left eye mischievously, Daiyu was startled, then pursed her lips and smiled, thinking, this Sister Bao is so funny, and she is so cute. A little mischievous, different from Sanchunquan, and I have a good feeling in my heart.

Aunt Xue said quickly: "If the old lady is really willing, I will really take everyone away. I have long been envious of these girls who look like flowers! Don't go back on your word!" Laughed once.

Jia's mother said seriously: "Don't regret it, don't regret it. From now on, we will live together. What's the difference between being raised by you and raising by me! I don't think my aunt should choose another place. You and your sister have lived together for more than ten years. No see, there are so many things to say, it is better to live together to complete the sisterhood!"

At this time, Jia Zheng also sent someone in to spread the word: "The concubine is already old, and the nephew is young and doesn't know the way of the world. He lives outside for fear that something will happen to him. The Pear Fragrance Courtyard in the northeast corner of our house is still empty, so let someone clean it up. Let the aunt's family stay here."

The Jia family sincerely invited her, and Mrs. Xue also had the same intention, so she readily agreed, and she told Mrs. Wang that all the expenses should be paid by herself, which is the way to get along with each other for a long time.Mrs. Wang knew that the Xue family was not short of the money, so she let her go.

Mrs. Wang said to Baochai intimately: "My son, since you were born, I only know about you from your mother's letter. Now our mother and I can be regarded as seeing each other."

Baochai said: "Every time my mother mentioned my aunt, I always yearned for my aunt when I recalled the carefree days when my sisters lived together. I wanted to see my aunt, but I couldn't meet each other because of the high mountains and long roads. Now I finally Gathering in one place, I can pay tribute to Aunt Cheng Huan and wait for her instruction, so as to relieve my admiration."

Mrs. Wang hugged her very much, she liked her very much, and said: "Don't envy us. In the future, when you sisters are together, the friendship you will form will also be very precious."

Wang Xifeng said at this time: "Hey, look, I am a neat girl at first glance. This is my natal family. From now on, I have more aunts, brothers, and sisters. You can never bully me again. .”

Tanchun teased: "Who can bully you, it's good if you don't bully others."

Baochai said, "Sister Feng."

Mrs. Xue said: "Now that your Sister Feng is married to the second brother Lian of your uncle's family, she must be called the second sister-in-law Lian."

Wang Xifeng said: "We have different opinions. It is right for Bao girl to call me Sister Feng. When you see my Lian'er, you don't have to call me brother-in-law, just call me Lian's second brother."

Jia's mother said: "That's right, they are cousins. Calling them sister-in-law is actually called birth. Let them call them sisters and sisters."

Baoyu had been watching from the side earlier, and wanted to get close to him very much, but everyone surrounded Baochai and no one recommended him, so he was anxious.

Mrs. Xue said, "Baochai, come and meet your brother Bao."

This pink and jade-carved boy is his own cousin. How could Baochai not like him in his heart? People misunderstood that she coveted their family's treasure.

Although they are still young, since ancient times they have not been seated at seven years old, and they should have avoided it. If it hadn't been for this old lady's pampering, this Baoyu brother should have entertained guests in front instead of mingling in the crowd inside.

Therefore, the carriages and horses of the Xue family moved into the Lixiangyuan. This courtyard was the place where the Jia family’s old man lived in retirement. It was completely separated from the big courtyard in front. There are more than a dozen rooms, the front hall and the back room are complete, and there is another exit facing the street, which can be regarded as a courtyard within a courtyard.

After Xue Pan came back, Mrs. Xue asked them what they had said.Xue Pan said: "Uncle asked me what books I read. After I mentioned those books, he was obviously not satisfied with my progress, but he also said that he was much better than their Baoyu, and he also tested my homework. , I answered all of them.

He said that the family school in the Jia family was doing well, and asked me if I didn't have a master to teach me, I could go to the family school. "

Baochai hurriedly said, "Then what did you say?"

Xue Pan said: "What else can I say? I told him that the Mr. Hu who taught me since childhood is already on his way, and he is bringing his whole family to the capital. After I find a courtyard to settle Mr. Hu, I will I still went to his place to attend classes, so I resigned from going to Jia's family to study." He asked Baochai, "My sister has always been willing to let me study and study culture, why are you so nervous when my uncle asks me to go to home school? "

Baochai said: "To tell you the truth, brother, I naturally have my news channel. The family of the Jia family can follow others, but you must not."

Xue Pan asked strangely, "Why?"

Xue Baochai half-jokingly and half-seriously said: "Although their family is a large family, it is precisely because of the large population that good and bad are mixed. Not all of the family studies are good. You are not strong-willed and easily led by others. , if you learn worse there, what should you do!"

Xue Pan's face was red when he was told: "However, it has been so long since the turmoil of buying a girl, but my sister took it out and laughed at me when she had nothing to do."

Mrs. Xue came out at this time and said: "Since you know that your sister is teasing you, you should know that she is joking with you. The intention is for your own good. Just listen to it. Don't worry about it. brother-sister relationship."

Xue Pan said: "What does my mother think of me, my sister, will I not understand her? I don't think there is anyone in this world with a better heart than my sister."

Xue Baochai said angrily: "Okay, praise me so much that I get goosebumps all over the ground, you don't think you have anything to ask of me, do you?"

Xue Pan only felt very innocent, "Why is it that even if you speak the truth now, you will be suspected of impure motives."

Baochai laughed and said, "Let's discuss where Mr. Hu and his family will live after they arrive."

Mrs. Xue said: "Borrowing in someone else's house is not as convenient as being in your own house, and there are only a dozen rooms in the yard here, so you can live in it, but it's inconvenient after all. It's better to rent another room outside Mr. Hu's family should buy a courtyard."

Baochai said: "Brother also meant that, and I have already returned to my uncle like that. Tomorrow, I will send someone out to find a house, or if my brother wants to see the city of Beijing, I can take someone to look for it myself. You must find a comfortable and suitable one." , don’t save money, don’t wrong Mr. Hu’s family. The real estate price in this capital is very different from our Jinling’s. Also, although our Xue family has their own house in the capital, they haven’t lived in it for more than ten years. It has never been repaired, and I am afraid that the guard servants will rent it to others secretly, so I have to go and have a look, and repair it if I can. Now that we have entered Beijing, we can’t leave it there for nothing, and move from my aunt’s house in the future. You can go out, or go to the old house or buy a new courtyard.”

Xue Pan said: "Okay, tomorrow I will personally find a house for Mr. Hu, and I will go back to the old house to have a look."

Mrs. Xue thought for a while and said: "If Pan'er goes to study in Mr. Hu's new house in the future, it will be inconvenient for Baochai to go every day."

Baochai said: "Then I won't go. Originally, I went to class with him, but it was just because I had nothing to do at home all day long. Being with my brother can also stimulate his enthusiasm, but I don't need to take the number one exam. It doesn't matter whether I study or not." never mind."

After hearing this, Xue Pan felt envious of Baochai, and said, "Actually, I don't take the number one exam, so why do I have to read it?"

Mrs. Xue wiped her tears and said: "This is not the rule that your father made for you. You are asked to study for two more days and get married two years later, so that you will save the whole day and only know that you are not doing your job. Now it seems that studying more is really good. You Not much stronger than before!"

With Mrs. Xue behind her back, Xue Baochai said to Xue Pan again, "If brother is interested, you can inquire about the opinions of the children of the Jia family. Not all of them are good. If you want to make friends, you have to keep your eyes open." , and you should know more than me about what to do and what not to do, so don't be fooled by others."

Xue Pan said: "Sister, don't worry, with your reminder, how can I not be more vigilant. Besides, Mr. Hu is coming in two days. I only get together with the brothers of the Jia family occasionally. I have to take care of the capital every day. I don’t have time to hang out with them, no matter good or bad, I just walk around as ordinary relatives.”

Seeing the servants put everything back together, Xue's family settled down in the capital. After leaving the southwest corner gate of Lixiangyuan, after passing a false road, it was the east courtyard of Mrs. Wang's main house.Every day, after meals, or at night, Mrs. Xue has a place to go, either to talk to Mrs. Wang, or to talk to Jia Mu. Every day, she has something to do and someone to accompany her. It is not like before. But the spirit is always not good.

Mrs. Xue received a good education at home since she was a child. Apart from her husband's early death, she had nothing unsatisfactory after she got married, so she behaved well when she followed her duties, and Jia's mother was often willing to sit and chat with her.

One day when Jia Lian came home, she saw Wang Xifeng playing with a box of hairpin and ring jewellery. Jia Lian had seen Wang Xifeng's jewellery, and saw that all of them were in excellent condition, which was not what she often used.I couldn't help being a little surprised, "Where did such a box of good things come from? Could it be your dowry that I haven't seen before?"
