Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

When Xue Baochai returned to his yard with the other maids, Danqing had already brought the servant who was with Xue Pan back to answer on the first day of the lunar new year.In this regard, Xue Baochai said that she was indeed the one who trained her to do things with prudence.

At that moment, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "On the first day of junior high school, tell me, what happened? Tell me from the beginning to the end, without missing a single word." .”

Seeing Xue Baochai's whole face and expression at the first glance was a little different, and I felt that I didn't dare to hide anything at the moment, and replied: "Returning to the girl, the servant dare not hide anything. I have lunch today, sir. When I was free and bored, I said that I wanted to go out for a walk. By the way, I would like to see if there is anything interesting that I can make a birthday present for my wife? Knowing that my wife likes hairpin and ring jewelry, I went directly to the silver building. After a while, I didn’t find any good ones, so I came out. Coincidentally, there was a restaurant just opened not far away. I heard people said that the vegetarian ducks there were excellent. The uncle thought about bringing them back to the girl and wife. Try something new..."

"Pick up the key points, there is no need to talk about these things." Xue Baochai interrupted impatiently, and said so.

The first day of junior high school also knew that Xue Baochai's patience was not very good, so he speeded up his speech immediately: "... just not far from the front of the restaurant, there happened to be a middle-aged man who was selling his daughter. The age is about the same as the girl, so I thought about buying it, and it would be great to be with the girl. I don't want to, this man actually sells two, and the girl knows the temper of the uncle. I hate others to do such accidents, so I immediately command I just beat up that person. I just didn’t want to, the family I bought earlier also brought people over to lead them, and bumped into them. There was a little conflict between words... In the confusion, they fought One of the people who followed was pushed by someone. Unfortunately, his head hit the bluestone steps, and he died before being carried to the hospital. I don’t know who, and reported the matter to the officials. Let's make a big fuss..." When the words reached the end, the voice of the first day of junior high school became more and more laughing, and his head lowered lower and lower.

"Danqing, do you know the identity of the dead person?" Xue Baochai was not in the mood to deal with the first class now, she turned her head and asked.

Dan Qing immediately replied: "In the words of Miss, the one who died was a servant of the Feng family. Although he was not a slave, he was a slave who sold a death contract."

When Xue Baochai heard this, she felt relieved at the moment.It is not easy to solve such a matter satisfactorily, but it is not difficult.At this time, I also had the intention to deal with them in the first grade of junior high school, and said lightly: "Everyone who goes out with the uncle today, ten boards alone, and silver rice for three months, as a warning. You and the second grade of junior high school It's doubled. Any comments?"

"I don't dare. Thank you, Miss, for your kindness." Naturally, on the first day of the junior high school, he didn't dare to make any rebuttals, knowing that Xue Baochai's temper was already showing mercy to them for the sake of the uncle.Otherwise, based on the fact that their guardians are not good, even if they are not dead, their skin will be peeled off.

Xue Baochai said, "Okay, it's none of your business here, go down."

"Yes."

"Danqing, what's the situation with this Feng family?" Xue Baochai asked again.

As Xue Baochai's favorite person, Dan Qing's ability is beyond doubt, so he immediately replied: "This Feng family is a local gentry, and it is the son of the Feng family who is making trouble with the uncle. Feng Yuan, his parents have been married since childhood." After passing away, there were no brothers in the family, and he was the only one guarding the family's meager property, and lived a prosperous life. He grew up to eighteen or nine years old, and he was a man who liked men and hated women. Selling a girl, I fell in love with it at a glance. I thought about buying it as a concubine, and vowed not to make friends with men. I originally said that it would be a good day after three days, but I didn’t want this kidnapper to be a bit bolder. I wanted to sell the two to get some extra money. That’s how my uncle ran into me.”

Xue Baochai sneered and said: "The children of abductees are the ones who deserve to die. They don't need to be bypassed. Execution is the only way to relieve hatred. Send a letter to the governor of Jinling. He is a smart man and knows what to do." It immediately reminded her of the incident when she was almost abducted when she was young, and her tone became more and more bitter.

"Yes, master." Dan Qing answered immediately with cupped fists.

"Since the person who died was just an insignificant slave, this matter is easy to solve. You go over there first and ask what the Feng family thinks? If the family is willing, then they will pay more money for selling themselves. It's gone." Xue Baochai said.

Although the dead slave was not a slave, but since he signed the death contract, there is not much difference.The only difference is that he can redeem himself after saving enough money to sell himself, while those who have slave status can only wait for the special grace of the master, otherwise they will be just slaves serving others for the rest of their lives.

"Yes, subordinates know."

"By the way, wait for the uncle to come back. Tell him to come and see me." Xue Baochai said again.She always felt that it was not accidental that Xue Pan was involved, so she had to ask carefully, because she had already told Xue Pan more than once that the family was currently in the period of filial piety. It is better to stay at home.Although Xue Pan has various flaws in his personality, he is still obedient.

He must have been bewitched by someone today, otherwise, he would not have left the mansion.

It seems that finding two reliable people for Xue Pan has to be put on the agenda.Otherwise, according to Xue Pan's current temperament, it is not impossible to cause trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, the thoughts in Xue Baochai's mind turned back and forth, and he turned his head and asked, "Yun Juan, did you find the person I asked you to look for last time?"

"Back to the girl, the two servants have already been found. But the girl who serves next to me, I still haven't found a suitable one. Either the age is wrong, or the hands and feet are a bit clumsy and not smart enough." Yun Juan also frowned slightly when talking about this. Frowning, the first time the girl gave her an errand, she couldn't do it well, and thinking about it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Xue Baochai pondered for a while and said: "If that's the case, let the boy go first. As for the names, follow the first and second grades, one is called the third grade, and the other is called the fifth grade. As for the girl, let Wen Wen go first. Bamboo and marigold are the two that go first, and we will discuss after we find the right one.”

"Yes, this servant knows." Yun Juan said blissfully.

Xue Baochai suddenly remembered something here, and when Yun Juan just lifted his foot, he said, "By the way, let Hua Ling handle this matter, you just watch from the side."

Yunjuan knew that Xue Baochai was going to test Hualing, so he was blessed and answered immediately.

Xue Pan's temperament is too honest and impatient, if it's just honesty, it's fine.But impatience is something to be avoided. It seems that there is no way to delay the matter of sharpening his temper.It should be put on the agenda immediately.Anyway, the things that I should handle here are already done, but there is still plenty of time.

Thinking so, Xue Baochai waved to Yun Shu, and whispered a few words in her ear.

After Yun Shu got the order, he immediately blessed himself: "Yes, this servant obeys."

Seongdong Bieyuan

The east of the city is a well-known prosperous place of rich and noble families in Jinling. The families in this area are either rich or noble or a combination of rich and noble. For example, the Xue family, even though it is known as one of the four major families in Jinling, but because After all, having the reputation of being a merchant is inferior to Jia Shiwang's other three families.No matter how rich you are, you can't find a courtyard here in the east of the city.

"My king heard that Xue Pan was involved in a murder case? How is it now?" Xiao Qiyu didn't go back immediately after finishing the matter.One reason is that since he came here in the name of seeking medical training, he naturally wanted to make some gestures, and the other reason is that although the Xue family has already handed over half of the property here.Yiying's land deed and house deed, even with his help, even the transfer of ownership has been completed.The Xue family property is said to be spread all over the country, but the foundation is still here in Jinling.He just took over here, so naturally he wants to give it a good beating, and let people recognize the new owner by the way, isn't it?Thirdly, some restaurants with important profits should be quickly replaced with people from their own side, and they should also find out who else in Jinling is from the side of the Supreme Emperor and the deposed prince.

Therefore, he stayed in Jinling with peace of mind.

Prince Yu's busyness here is not too leisurely, but he still told Song Mo to pay more attention to the movement of Xue's family.

A few days ago, I heard that Xue Pan had a conflict with someone, and even killed one person.Even though he was just an insignificant slave, being beaten to death just because he was not a slave was a troublesome matter.

Song Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied: "Master, it's already been resolved." To be honest, although this is not a big deal, Song Mo felt that after seeing Miss Xue's handling methods, he still had to say a word of convincing. coming.

This Miss Xue is really not an ordinary person.But then again, ordinary girlfriends would dare to come to an appointment with a foreigner with only two of them in the middle of the night.You must know that this court has always been strict with women, and other things aside, only the boudoir girls came out in the middle of the night, even if they didn't see other people.It is also to be attacked by rumors.What's more, Ms. Xue really sees foreigners.If this is seen by others, and if she is said so much, Miss Xue's life will be ruined.

From this, it is already known that Miss Xue's family is not an ordinary person.

Xiao Qiyu heard Song Mo's answer, although he expected it, but he still raised his eyebrows: "Her movements are also very fast."

"My lord, but what. Even Miss Xue didn't rely on anyone else at all. She just asked a second-class girl named Hua Ling to visit Feng's house, met Feng Yuan, and said a few words of persuasion. It's settled." Speaking of which, Song Mo really felt that the girl from the Xue family was just a business girl.But this means of controlling people is really enough.The servants of her status are not only loyal to her, but also have good skills, and they don't know where she found her.

Hearing this, Xiao Qiyu's obsidian eyes lit up more and more: "During Jinling, your task is to keep an eye on the Xue family, and you don't need to do other things."

"The subordinates know." Song Mo thought that there was no need to keep an eye on the Xue family.Although it is said that Miss Xue has a lot of abilities, but after all, she is a friend rather than an enemy. Why do you keep staring at her all the time? It's just that this is an order given to him by Xiao Qiyu, and he dare not refute it.Can only answer a little depressed.

Here, Xiao Qiyu didn't know what he thought of, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but that smile felt a bit permeable no matter how you looked at it.It's just that Xiao Qiyu at this time never thought of it, until he set off to go back, he didn't get any more news about Xue's family.

And when the Xue family finished their filial piety and returned to the capital, as soon as they arrived, an unexpected thing happened, which was almost known to the whole world.
