Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

Because Shi Shi became pregnant suddenly, and the fetal image was also a little unstable, so Wang Ziteng was born here and had to go out here.Although Wang Danfeng has grown up and can help take care of all the general affairs in the mansion, but Wang Danfeng will leave the cabinet in October.Her dowry also had to be taken care of, and it could be said that everything was crowded together.

Previously, Wang Ziteng was thinking of inviting his sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, to take care of the household affairs and Wang Danfeng's dowry.It's just that Mrs. Shi is unwilling, she knows Mrs. Liu's nature is greedy, if she is asked to come back to take care of it, she doesn't know how much money the family will take away.If it's just that, it's fine.She was afraid that Mrs. Liu would tamper with Wang Danfeng's dowry.Another thing is that Wang Ren is now twenty-one, but his marriage is still not settled, and Liu's brows are already angry.I didn't think so much about coming over to help other people's daughters take care of the dowry.

You must know that the family that Wang Danfeng promised is Niu Mao, the eldest grandson of the Niu family of the Marquis of Yongning, who has a high status and was canonized as the son of Marquis of Yongning years ago.Wang Danfeng entered the door as the wife of Shizi, so the dowry must not be sloppy, if something goes wrong.Not only the Wang family lost face, but the Niu family also felt uncomfortable.

Mrs. Liu can't help it, and Mrs. Wang can't leave here either.

Wang Ziteng thought of Aunt Xue now, it was the most leisure time for her.Although she is said to be a married aunt, she is the direct aunt of Queen Danfeng of the Wang family, and it is only natural that she comes to help with the dowry.

Shi also agreed with this.

Because of such things, Aunt Xue was running back and forth between the Wang family and the Xue family these days, and she was busier than Xue Baochai and Xue Pan for a while.

Although I was worried that Aunt Xue's health would be unbearable, seeing Aunt Xue was also in high spirits, so Xue Baochai and Xue Pan couldn't speak their persuasion, so they could only ask the big girl beside her, Jixiang Ruyi, to take good care of her.

Xue Baochai saw that Aunt Xue was busy here and couldn't leave her for a while, so she immediately ordered Dan Xin and Dan Qing to check Mrs. Wang's private house.If it was said that it might have been a little difficult before, but with Emperor Zhengde's secret support and Prince Yu's explicit support, it only took a few days.All the assets in Mrs. Wang's hands and the detailed list were sent to Xue Baochai.

"I didn't expect that my aunt, who usually doesn't go out of the gate, has saved a lot of money in her hands? Look, it's almost catching up with our family." Xue Baochai looked at the words written in her hands. With a list full of five large sheets of paper, he said with a sigh.

She had seen Aunt Xue's dowry list, there were 88 sets in total, and the value was only about 2 taels.According to the rules of the Wang family, the dowry silver of a prostitute is only 6000 taels, as for the rest, her own mother will subsidize it.The reason why Aunt Xue was able to have such a large dowry was because she married into Xue's family, an imperial merchant. Although her status was slightly insufficient, the family had plenty of money.Aunt Xue's mother felt that the eldest daughter would marry into the Duke's mansion, but the younger daughter could only be a merchant's wife, so she couldn't help being wronged by the younger daughter.A lot of good things were added in.In addition, the betrothal gifts from the Xue family were all added to the dowry.

Only then did Aunt Xue's dowry worth 2 taels come into being.

Even if Mrs. Wang's dowry is compared with Aunt Xue's, it is at most 2 taels.

But it was obvious that all the items on the list in her hands totaled more than 2 taels.What's more, what she listed here are only some shops and Zhuangzi that Mrs. Wang has been with, not counting other things in her hands.

Thanks to her kindness, she would come to Aunt Xue crying poorly from time to time.

Then he raised his head and asked Dan Xin, "Is everything ready for you to prepare?" If you want to attack Mrs. Wang comprehensively, the best way is to start with her heart. For Mrs. Wang, she has two hearts. One is Jia Baoyu and the other is her private money.Jia Baoyu's side is simple, and it couldn't be easier to do it.What's more, it was already a blow.This time, let's start from her private room.

Dan Xin was bored during this period, and when she heard Xue Baochai's question, she immediately replied with some excitement: "Young lady just gave an order, and my subordinate has already asked someone to prepare it. Now it's ready. My subordinate is still here." I personally checked it twice and made sure that there is nothing missing. Girl, but let someone do it now." When he said this, his tone could not conceal the expectation.

Xue Baochai nodded here: "Let someone do it. You stare at it yourself and ruthlessly deal with it, so that it will collapse and there will be no chance of a comeback."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Dan Xin replied immediately.

Suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, I heard that the son-in-law of Mrs. Wang's housekeeper, Zhou Rui's family, is Leng Zixing. He is an antique dealer, and now he runs an antique shop. You can ask someone to pick it up." Pick up his family property. Pay special attention to check whether he has done anything that violates the law, such as helping others to pay interest, which is detrimental to morality."

Dan Xin is also a smart person. Hearing this, she knew that her daughter had a third trick to punish Mrs. Wang.I mourned for her for a moment in my heart, and I didn't know how to provoke my girl.To let the girl play such a cruel hand.But he said he liked it.Because it means that I have something to do, so I don't need to be bored.

Only then did Dan Xin go out to do errands, but within half an hour, Xue Baochai received a message from Prince Yu, saying that he was at Piaoxiang Pavilion and wanted to see her.

Xue Baochai immediately thought of one thing, and frowned, she could only turn her head and say, "Yun Juan, Yun Shu, let someone pack up, I'm going out for a while." Every time Prince Yu came to find him, nothing good happened .Just hope that this time it's not something too outrageous.

"Yes, girl."

Xue Baochai said again: "By the way, go and call Danqing over, and let him go with him."

"Yes, girl." Yun Juan and Yun Shu blessed themselves, so they did not mention it.

Within a quarter of an hour, Xue Baochai took Yun Shu, Lianqiao, and Danqing to the outside in a carriage.Because the Xue family is still some distance away from Piaoxiang Pavilion, Xue Baochai is not in a hurry here on the way to Piaoxiang Pavilion.When going there, he asked Danqing to stop from time to time, and if there was something interesting, he would ask Lianqiao to get out of the car and buy it back.

By the time Xue Baochai arrived at Piaoxiang Pavilion, it was already half an hour later, and there were a lot of brocade boxes in her hands.

Let Yun Shu take these things out, and walked straight to the Piaoxiang Pavilion.Piaoxiang Pavilion is Xue Baochai's private property, from the shopkeeper to the mistress who is carefully selected by her.Seeing Xue Baochai and his party coming, Xiao Er immediately led them to the private room on the second floor with a very winking look.

As soon as the door opened, Xue Baochai saw that Prince Yu was already sitting there.There were several plates of delicate pastries and tea on the table. Judging from the pastries that had already been eaten, it seemed that Prince Yu had been here for a while.

"Minnv has seen His Highness Prince Yu, so I don't know what is the matter that Prince Yu called the Minnv over this time?" Xue Baochai asked directly after saluting the blessing.

Prince Yu looked at Xue Baochai and said with a slight smile: "Miss Xue, you don't need to be too polite, please get up." After a pause, he said: "Miss Xue speaks directly, so I won't be fooling around here. Yes. The emperor intends to move four kings and eight princes and some people who don't know the heights of heaven and earth. I want you to help check the details of some people." He said and nodded to Sinan who was following him.

Si Nan understood here, and pulled out a list from his cuff.

"Miss Xue, this is the name list." When Prince Yu said this, his expression and tone became more serious, "Although we say that there is no need to rush in terms of time, it should not be too slow. You have the news here, let Dan Xin or It was Danqing who gave me the news immediately."

"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, my lord and Imam." Xue Baochai roughly glanced at the names on the list.Yo, don't tell me that many of the names on this list are still acquaintances.Starting from the most familiar people, Jia She and Jia Zheng from Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhenjia Rong from Ningguo Mansion, Shi Ding, Marquis of Baoling, and Shi Nai, Marquis of Zhongjing, that's fine here.What made Xue Baochai feel a little dark was that there were actually some people from Jinling Zhen's family among them.

Hehe, Emperor Zhengde and Prince Yu really think highly of her.And it's not polite to start.This is the so-called employing people without suspicion. Do you not use suspicious people?All the names listed on the list, from Jia She and Jia Zheng, to Zhen Yingjia of the Zhen family, are all related to the Xue family.

Seeing Xue Baochai holding the list, Prince Yu didn't even frown, and there was a little more thought in his brows.

However, Xue Baochai looked at the last person's name here, and felt a bit suspicious: "My lord, let me ask you a question here. Will the last prince become the same as everyone else, and treat him equally?"

"Since the name is on the top, it is naturally the same." After a pause, he continued: "Besides, isn't this better? It gives you a chance to avenge your hatred and settle your grievances."

The grievance between Huimin County Lord and Xue Baochai, although it seems nothing now?They don't have any communication on weekdays, so it's nothing.It's just that Prince Yu has a deeper understanding of Xue Baochai's narrow-mindedness.He knows it here.Since that incident, Xue Baochai has often used his power to suppress all industries in Prince Cheng's Mansion, and now Prince Cheng's Mansion is facing financial difficulties.Princess Cheng even used her dowry to supplement the mansion.It's just that Xue Baochai's methods are strict, and although it is said that the industry of Prince Cheng's Mansion has been suppressed and the economy of Prince Cheng's Mansion has fallen into difficulties, he has not done everything.It also enriched the emperor's small treasury. Here, the emperor also turned a blind eye to Xue Baochai's actions against the Prince Cheng's mansion, and it could even be said to be tacit consent.

As soon as Xue Baochai heard about Prince Yu's visit, she knew it.Emperor Zhengde already knew about his actions towards Prince Cheng's Mansion.But so what?As early as when she did it, she never thought of hiding it.

Xue Baochai didn't have much affection for Prince Yu, and after the two said something serious, they separated.

It's just that Prince Yu left first.Xue Baochai left after eating.

"Girl, Baozhilin has arrived." Danqing's voice came.

This Baozhilin is a century-old pharmacy in the capital, the reason why Xue Baochai came here is to find some medicinal materials.In fact, the Xue family also has a medicine shop, but they only sell some common medicinal materials, and what Xue Baochai is looking for here is relatively rare. It has been a long time since the Xue family medicine shop has suggested it, but there is no news at all.Only then did Xue Baochai think of going to Baozhilin to ask, see if he can find it?

Xue Baochai supported Yun Shu and Lianqiao's hands and got off the carriage.Walking into Baozhilin, I have a good impression of Baozhilin at a glance. It is no wonder that it can stand in the capital for a hundred years without falling.The place inside is huge, clean and tidy. Although there are many huge medicine cabinets, they are not crowded at all. What surprised Xue Baochai most is that the smell in this room is not ordinary. Pharmacy, the smell is a bit unpleasant.

Probably because it was noon, there were not many people in the pharmacy at this time.In addition to the work in the pharmacy and a middle-aged man who looked like a doctor, there was also a young man in a blue brocade shirt.Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he stood up straight, looking like a tall and straight man with a three-pointed pine and cypress.Instead, Xue Baochai praised his kindness from the bottom of his heart.It's just that when they got closer, Xue Baochai frowned unexpectedly.

Because she smelled a sticky smell of blood, this person should have wounds on his body.

Xue Baochai made such a judgment almost immediately.But yes, coming to the pharmacy is nothing more than buying medicine, and it's normal to have injuries on your body.

But after seeing this person's face clearly, Xue Baochai felt a bit of curiosity in his heart.

This life is really pure and meaningful, matched with the blue brocade shirt he is wearing, it looks even more like a pine and cypress, although it is not as good as Prince Yu, but it is not bad.It's just that his face was obviously a little pale, and there was not even a trace of blood on his lips.It looked like a sign of excessive blood loss.

Perhaps Xue Baochai's gaze was too conspicuous, and the man noticed it, and a pair of obsidian eyes looked straight at Xue Baochai.
