Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

Three o'clock in the morning.

Although the weather is getting hotter at this time, Xue Baochai still put on a slightly thick cloak when he went out, so he took Yunjuan Yunshu and Danxin Danqing out, leaving Hualing and asparagus at home. with.

He came out from the back door quietly, and was already waiting by the carriage. After Xue Baochai got into the carriage, he saw Danxin and Danqing personally driving the carriage towards the east of the city.

"Girl, it's still a long time before Zishi, isn't it a bit early?" Yun Juan asked Xue Baochai with peach blossom dew, a little puzzled.Their house is located in Ronghua Lane in the south of the city, not too far from the east of the city.There is no need to leave so early at all.

Xue Baochai opened his mouth and replied: "The other party is not an ordinary person, but Prince Yu, my brother today, a royal family, with a noble status, can it be sooner or later." Put it over there, what can I do.

Yunjuan only sighed in his heart when he heard the words, and then stopped talking.

After walking for about half an hour, the carriage that had been walking steadily stopped and knew that the small lake in the east of the city had arrived.Sure enough, Danqing's steady voice was heard.

"Master, it's already here."

Xue Baochai nodded slightly, Yun Juan Yun Shu Zhang Luo got out of the car without ordering.Taking advantage of this short time, Xue Baochai lifted the curtains of the car and looked out.Because it was Zishi, the city was already completely silent, and at a glance, there was nothing else except for the occasional one or two lights.

"Girl, it's ready." Yun Shu said softly, holding Xue Baochai's cloak in his hand.

Xue Baochai put down the curtain, first put on the veil, then put on the cloak, and put on the hat on the back together, and then supported Yunjuan who had already got off the carriage and waited, and got off the carriage.

I didn't feel it when I was in the car, but when I got out of the car and raised my eyes, I saw a small lake with a large area. From here, I can see that there is a two-story boat parked in the middle of the lake. , although it is not said to be a finely carved Huadong, it is quite extraordinary.That's right, the east of the city has always been the place where high-ranking officials and nobles live, and this small lake has always been a favorite of these people. Just looking at the row of boats staying on the shore not far away, which one is Ordinary.

Xue Baochai pulled up her hat, tilted her head, and said, "Danqing, Yunjuan, you two stay here. Danxin, Yunshu, you two come with me."

"Yes." The four replied.

I boarded a small boat that had already stopped on the shore, and slowly rowed to the boat in the center of the lake.

The boatman obviously had some kung fu on hand, the rowing was smooth and fast, and it was time for a cup of tea.

"Song Mo, may I ask if the person here is a girl from the Xue family?" After seeing Xue Baochai nodding her head, she said again: "Master has already been waiting." As soon as he boarded the boat, a young man in his early twenties came The man was very handsome, but when he saw only Xue Baochai and his party, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he had seen the world after all, and he quickly faded away, and his voice was full of surprise. There are two more obvious smiles.

Following this guard named Song Mo into the boat, Xue Baochai didn't say a word on the way.Song Mogao took a look at this, and couldn't help admiring a few words in his heart.

Although this Xue family is an imperial merchant, it is slightly taller than ordinary merchants, but in the end it is still a family of merchants. This girl from the Xue family looks young, but she acts very prudently. It is the two people who follow her, Ever since he came in, he has been looking at the heart with his nose and eyes, his eyes are only on the ground, and he follows the rules, without taking a second look.

Rather, he knows the rules.

"Ms. Xue, please wait for a moment, and let me report back." When I reached a door, I heard Song Moru say.

Only then did Xue Baochai say, "Trouble."

Song Mo turned around and walked in, and he could vaguely hear his voice talking inside.After a while, he came out and said, "Miss Xue, the master invites you in." His eyes fell on Dan Xin and Yun Shu: "These two will bother you and wait here for a while."

Regarding this, both Dan Xin and Yun Shu hesitated a little, and looked at Xue Baochai randomly.

Xue Baochai didn't care about this, she turned her head to Dan Xin and said, "You two just wait here." Looking sideways at Dan Xin, "Just give me the box."

Although Dan Xin was a little worried about Xue Baochai's safety, he didn't dare to refute Xue Baochai's words.He just stepped forward and handed the mahogany box that he had been holding in his hand to Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai just nodded when he got the box, and went into the inner room.

Seeing him, Song Mo frowned slightly, his curiosity towards Xue Baochai became more and more serious.It's just that Xue Baochai has already gone to the inner room to meet the master, so he naturally has no choice but it doesn't matter, isn't there two more?Seeing that they can come here with Miss Xue's family, I know that they must be used by Miss Xue's family.

He must have known Miss Xue's family very well, so he walked to Dan Xin and Yun Shu, thinking that they were not as old as him, and must not be as knowledgeable as him.It's better to be a cliché, saying that you can't get something useful.

What Song Mo didn't expect was that no matter what he said.Both of them looked at the heart with eyes and eyes, and looked like the old god was there. They didn't care at all about what he said, and they didn't answer any words.After getting such a result, Song Mo couldn't help twitching his eyes.

This girl from the Xue family doesn't look very big, but her way of controlling people is quite impressive.

the other side.

Xue Baochai walked into the inner room with the box in her arms.

A bright hall, facing the window, also opened a gap, a slight wind blows in, and the lily fragrance is lit inside for meditation, and the breath is refreshing and pleasant.Sitting in the room was a young man of about Ruoguan's age.At a glance, even Xue Baochai, who was used to seeing beautiful men, was amazed. What a sickly beautiful man!

The facial features are exquisite as if carefully carved out, the smooth black hair hangs down like fine silk satin, and a pair of captivating eyes are under the delicate and feminine leaf eyebrows, the vermilion lips are lightly pursed, half a smile is not a smile, the neck The skin on his body is as delicate as beautiful porcelain, and he is dressed in sapphire blue clothes, which more and more set off his natural elegance.It's just that her complexion was a bit too pale, her lips were bloodless, and her figure was even thinner. She knew her congenital deficiency at the first sight!

It is said that Prince Yu has inherited his mother's beauty, now it seems that it is indeed true.

"Minister Xue has met Prince Yu, she is in peace and well-being." Xue Baochai saluted respectfully, and said so.

Prince Yu Xiao Qiyu didn't immediately ask Xue Baochai to get up, instead he sized Xue Baochai up and down with interest.Oval face, big eyes, high nose bridge, and petal-like lips. Although she is still young, only in her early ten years, she can already tell that she is a rare beauty!

Waited for another moment.

Seeing that Xue Baochai has always maintained the posture of saluting, motionless, and his eyes are always downcast.Xiao Qiyu's beautiful eyes immediately flashed a hint of admiration.It's already time for a cup of tea, and she still doesn't move at all, apart from other things, this alone is much better than those aristocratic ladies in Kyoto.

Xiao Qiyu's first impression of Xue Baochai here is very good, but Xue Baochai has scolded Xiao Qiyu thousands of times in his heart.When I first saw him, the two points of affection I had because of his appearance also completely disappeared.Hundan, is it great to have a high status?Thinking about how noble her status was back then, she never made such a fuss...

"Get up."

"Prince Xie Yu." Xue Baochai stood up once again.After standing up, I realized that my feet were slightly numb.

Xiao Qiyu knocked on the table with his fingers, for a moment, smiled lightly, looked at Xue Baochai playfully, and said, "As expected, you are Xue Jian's daughter. I heard that you only brought a guard and a maid over here. You are brave enough. Aren’t you afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty? This is my territory, isn’t it?” It is said that this girl from the Xue family was brought up by Xue Jian, and she cares more about her than his only son. Let him try it out, how much has she learned from Xue Jian?

"So what?" Xue Baochai said flatly.How could she not have any preparations before coming?What's more, after meeting Prince Yu, she didn't have to worry any more.Because she could tell that the Prince Yu in front of him didn't know any kung fu, even though there were probably hidden guards all around, so what?She could feel that there were only the two of them in this room, once something happened.She was absolutely sure that before those hidden guards came over, she would take Prince Yu as a hostage.

Xiao Qiyu laughed out loud when he heard Xue Baochai whose tone was not fluctuating at all: "You are different from your father."

Xue Baochai naturally didn't answer his unnecessary nonsense.

Although Xue Jian's daughter is young, she has fully inherited her skills in self-cultivation.It seems that the Xue family will not decline with this daughter.Then he said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense. What you have been holding in your hand is what you want to give to me?"

"This is to be presented to the present." Xue Baochai said without raising his eyebrows.

Xiao Qiyu frowned immediately, was she reminding herself?Are you still warning yourself?But whatever it means, it also shows one thing, that is, the little girl in front of her is smart and guarded.However, he took out a roll of bright yellow silk cloth from his sleeve, put it on the table, and pushed it over: "This is the letter from the emperor before I came. Just take a look."

Xue Baochai put the box in his hand aside, turned towards Xiao Qiyu again, looked at it, and after confirming it again and again, put the thing in his sleeve, and then sent the box just now to Prince Yu In front of her, another blessing said: "All the things you want to present to His Majesty, please have a look at His Royal Highness Prince Yu." Although the box in her hand is not very big, it contains 200% of the Xue family. The family business is worth more than [-] million.Although she had already looked at it early in the morning and made sufficient psychological preparations, but thinking about sending it out like this, Xue Baochai said that she was still in pain, did she?
