Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

"Of course not." Facing Xiao Qiyu's blunt words, Xue Baochai's expression didn't change a bit, and he directly denied it, and then laughed at himself: "Your Highness Prince Yu, you think too much of the little girl. I She's just a merchant girl, where did she come from with such a great skill that she can order your servants of Prince Yu's mansion to move you."

Hearing Xue Baochai's words, Xiao Qiyu confirmed his guess even more. Even if she did not do what happened in the mansion today, it is mostly inseparable from her.But listening to Xue Baochai's words just now, although he used a self-deprecating tone, but according to his understanding of Xue Baochai, at this moment, she might be in a very bad mood.He smiled and stopped talking.

"My lord, can the girl leave now? I'm afraid the little girl's mother is already waiting anxiously." Xue Baochai said.

Although Xiao Qiyu did not get a definite answer from Xue Baochai, he already knew the answer he wanted, and said, "Of course it is possible. Miss Xue is light."

"Minister, please leave." Respectful etiquette.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, Xue Baochai's face turned cold.

So what if she did what happened today?She didn't provoke this matter from the beginning to the end. Could it be that she was expected to automatically and consciously jump into the well-designed pit following other people's wishes?Xiao Qiyu, if I had known earlier that Huimin county lord was entrapping you, I shouldn't have helped you out of trouble.Instead, it should be pushed forward so that the two of you can achieve good things.

The flower appreciation banquet hosted by Princess Yu for her younger brother ended with an unexpected ending, and it also left a strong mark in the persuasion of the noble daughters of the Dafeng Dynasty.

Prince Yu is a super-first-rank prince's mansion, and this Prince Yu is a brother who is useful today.The concubine was not only born in the Marquis's Mansion, but also personally praised and praised by the emperor and queen, saying that she is stable and generous, ordering women to learn more from her.

Now that he came out like this, he was really slapped in the face.I heard that King Yu and Princess Yu entered the palace to plead guilty to the emperor in the afternoon.

Of course, it's just a trivial matter here for Princess Yu.Among them, the most famous ones are Princess Cheng and Princess Huimin.

On the second day after the flower viewing banquet ended, Mrs. Cheng En went to the palace and after a little processing, she cried to Empress Cui.Empress Cui has already obtained the cause and effect of the incident from Princess Yu.

Although I felt that what Mrs. Cheng Engong said was a bit exaggerated, but considering that her daughter had suffered a serious crime this time and almost died, she didn't care too much about it.

And Mrs. Cheng Engong knew this, so she just edited the matter a little, instead of talking nonsense with embellishments.

Empress Cui didn't have any good feelings for Huimin county master. The last time Huimin county master broke Li Ge's granddaughter's leg because of a two-sentence dispute, she was also demoted to the county seat. Lord, as a warning.But I didn't expect that she didn't warn and didn't say anything, and now she broke into even more things.It's simply outrageous, and they have completely lost their royal face.

In fact, she is not the first princess who has been raised as an arrogant princess among the royal family.But at least others know how to restrain themselves and know the seriousness.Like county master Huimin, not to mention his arrogant personality, he still can't tell the seriousness of things, and knows what to do and what not to do.It was the first time she saw it.

Now that Mrs. Cheng Engong cried and complained, it is natural that a decree was issued to let Cheng Wangfei enter the palace.

Although empress Cui's words were very gentle when she thought of Princess Cheng's status as an elder, but it was ugly enough, at least she succeeded in making Princess Cheng turn pale.He hated in his heart that Empress Cui did not give her face so much and said that to herself in front of Mrs. Cheng Engong.

What she didn't expect was that the embarrassment was yet to come.

Because it was too late for her to leave the palace, Emperor Zhengde sent Shou De, the eunuch who was close to him, to announce an imperial decree.

This time, the title of County Lord Huimin could not be kept, and the title of County Lord Huimin was directly deprived, and he was relegated to the common people.As soon as Princess Cheng heard this, her face immediately turned pale. If the maid beside her didn't help her in time, she might have collapsed.Once this imperial decree is announced, it may not be long before it will spread throughout the entire capital.When the time comes, how will her Huimin gain a foothold?She had thought about it when she came here before, but she just thought that she would say a few soft words to Mrs. Cheng Engong, and then offer an apology, and she would just expose it if she couldn't say it.But now that the emperor has directly issued an imperial edict, you are not joking, and now I am afraid that those high-ranking and powerful families that I have been optimistic about before will avoid it.

But what Princess Cheng didn't expect was that something that made her face even more ugly was still to come, because Emperor Zhengde also bestowed a side concubine to King Cheng later.

Of course, it has been made clear that Emperor Zhengde's nephew is not to meddle in the housework of their mansion, but that this side concubine was asked by King Cheng himself.It just happened to be in time to make an order together today.

Emperor Zhengde's two edicts spread quickly inside and outside the capital.

Many girls who were present that day, especially some girls who had been irritated by Huimin county lord on weekdays, secretly clapped their hands when they heard the news.Especially Deng Ying, who was at odds with Huimin County Lord, after knowing the news, she only felt that the food that she had no appetite had become fragrant, which made her appetite whet.

All of a sudden, because of this incident, Jingzhong was extremely lively.

But these have nothing to do with Xue Baochai.

Because the routine audit every three months is about to start again.What's more, the property of the Xue family, which she gave to Emperor Zhengde two years ago, has now turned around and returned to her hands.

The difference from two years ago is that although she is still in charge this time, she is no longer the host.But just a housekeeper, a substitute for Emperor Zhengde.No matter how much money she earns, it won't fall into her hands.

It's really uncomfortable to think about it.

But thinking about the identity of the other party, Xue Baochai could only roll his eyes here, and put down those dissatisfaction.

It took nearly two months for Xue Baochai to go through the thick stack of thirty or forty booklets that Emperor Zhengde asked the secret guard to send over, and to mark the key points. .Only then did she discover that in just two years, Emperor Zhengde had quickly replaced all the shops, restaurants and other profitable industries.

Of course, those who were replaced were all those who were in charge or the shopkeeper, and those insignificant people like ordinary servants, if there were no problems, they would all be safe.

Speaking of this, Xue Baochai admired Emperor Zhengde a little.

Adding up all the industries, even if there are not tens of thousands of people, there are eight or nine thousand people.Emperor Zhengde actually really had so many leisure moods, and actually checked all these people.

Since ancient times, emperors have been the most suspicious, and this statement is really true.It doesn't matter which emperor it is.

Xue Baochai couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said.

"Okay, now that we've figured it all out. Danqing, just prepare yourself. You may need to go over and inspect those overseas industries in person. This visit will take a lot of time, ranging from three months to half a year. time. You have to be mentally prepared." Xue Baochai said to Danqing.

Although Danqing is not as good as Danxin in terms of skill, he is loyal enough, stable and calm. More importantly, when she first took over the property earlier, Danqing helped manage the properties outside.It is most appropriate to let him pass now.

Danqing replied: "Well, my subordinates know."

"kindness."

"Dan Xin, what happened to the Chengwang Mansion I asked you to investigate? Especially about Huimin County Master, no, it should be called the fourth girl of the Chengwang Mansion now. Have you found out about her matter?" Xue Baochai asked. asked.

Dan Xin replied with a smile: "Don't worry, girl. It's already done. Let the girl have a look." As if she was doing a trick, she pulled out a black leather booklet from somewhere and presented it to Xue Baochai.

Naturally, Yun Shu brought it over.

However, Xue Baochai didn't rush to look here, but turned around and gave another order: "Help me find another person. It's called Jin Zhilan, the eldest daughter of Jing Zhaoyin. This time it doesn't have to be like It is as detailed as the Fourth Miss Xiao of Cheng Wangfu, focusing on her family and relatives."

"Yes, my subordinates know." Dan Xin naturally answered in one go.

"Okay, I don't have anything else to do here. Go ahead and get busy. Danqing, you have prepared for the past few days, and you have everything you need. If there is anything missing, just ask Yunjuan and Yunshu. Next I set off on time at the beginning of the month. I need to understand some things as soon as possible." Xue Baochai said.

"Yes, girl."

Rongguofu

No matter whether Aunt Xue is in Jinling or here in the capital.The scope of her walking is a bit narrow, except for occasionally going to Wang's house to chat with Shi Shi, she just goes to Rongguo Mansion to talk to Mrs. Wang.

Although she is closer to the Wang family in terms of relationship.

But because she is a married aunt, it is inconvenient for her to go back often.It is precisely because of this that she went to Jia's house a lot more.

On this day, Aunt Xue followed Wang Xifeng's invitation to watch a play with her maid again, and went to Rongguo Mansion.

Although it is said that he came to watch the play at Wang Xifeng's invitation, but since he is here.Naturally, it is unavoidable to talk to Jiamu.

Jia's mother said: "Auntie, is Brother Pan okay with the Imperial Guards? I heard that Commander Yu nodded in person? It can be seen that Brother Pan has a bright future. Auntie, you will wait for Pan in the future My brother will earn you an order for your wife to come back, just wait for the blessings." At the end of the conversation, Mother Jia couldn't hide her praise.

On the third day after Xue Baochai was called into the palace by the queen, Xue Pan passed Yu Qian's assessment and successfully became a member of the Imperial Guard.

The guards of the imperial guards, although they are only from the eighth rank, people like them will not pay attention to them.Just like Jia Lian, although the donated Tongzhi is said to be a vain job, it is also a fifth grade.But even so, the guards of the imperial guards are the place where all noble children break their heads and go in.Because as a bodyguard of the imperial guards, he has registered in front of the Holy One, and if he achieves a little in the future, his future will be boundless.

Rongguo Mansion started out with military merits, and it was not that they hadn't thought about getting Jia Lian in at the beginning, but they tried many methods, but they couldn't succeed.That's why I had no choice but to turn around and donate only one fellow acquaintance.

Now that Xue Pan can go in, he was even selected, assessed, and praised by Commander Yu himself.This starting point is much higher than the average person.In the future, if there is a chance to become a leader, I am afraid that he will be the first to think of him.

Aunt Xue listened to Jia Mu's words, although she was very grateful in her heart, she still said: "The old lady is too flattering."

"It's the truth. Brother Pan is a promising man." Mrs. Wang was concerned about Xue Baochai's daughter-in-law. As Xue Baochai's biological brother and her nephew, she naturally looked forward to him. It's getting better and better.Only in this way can he help Baoyu in the future.

Aunt Xue is also busy here and praised all the children of the Jia family.Especially Jia Baoyu, the darling of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, she also praised and praised, until she was full of red from what Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang said, which was obviously very useful.

"By the way, auntie, why don't you see Bao girl coming here?" Mother Jia thought that Aunt Xue had come here several times, but Xue Baochai only followed her once when she first arrived in the capital, and she never saw her again, so she asked. road.

"Please trouble the old lady to miss Bao girl. However, she was naughty a while ago, and there was a cold wind blowing for a while, so she will be well for a while. She also wants to come to Japan today, but I am afraid that her body will not be neat, so I hold her After two days, she will be well. I will send her over to greet the old lady." It is true that Xue Baochai had some cold wind earlier, but she also felt unwell.But a few days earlier it was already fine.Now it's just an excuse for not wanting to come to Rongguo Mansion.Aunt Xue is naturally clear about this matter.Although she was puzzled in her heart, but her daughter was in pain, Aunt Xue had to smooth things over for her at this time, so she smiled.
