Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

warm air dock

In the sunny days of March, it is the best time to enjoy flowers and scenery, even though Xue Baochai is not like other boudoir girls because of her filial piety.Surrounded by maids and women, he went to the monastery outside the city.But it doesn't matter, the Nuanfengwu where she lives now covers a large area, and there are hundreds of peach trees, and it is also in full bloom at this time.As long as you sit in it, you are already enjoying the scenery without going out.

And Xue Baochai obviously did the same.

A few plates of melon and fruit snacks, sitting in the gazebo, looking around, it is a piece of pink and white, the fragrance is lingering in the nose, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are in a fairyland.

It's just that such a beautiful scene was born, and it didn't last long.Xue Baochai held a cup of tea here, and only took a sip.

A loud voice was heard.

"Sister, sister, the big thing is bad, the big thing is bad..." But seeing Xue Pan rushing in, he completely destroyed the scenery here.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai could only sigh from the bottom of her heart. Seeing Xue Pan approaching, she poured a cup of tea with her own hands and pushed it in front of Xue Pan.Said: "Brother, why are you so eager to run away? First drink some tea to moisten your throat, don't worry, just speak slowly."

Xue Pan picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, acting rudely.

Xue Baochai was not surprised by his actions, and just asked: "Brother, what happened here? If I remember correctly, at this hour, it should be the time for my brother to learn martial arts with his master? Why did it come?" Here, I just said that the big thing is not good. But what happened?"

Xue Pan is good at martial arts. Although Xue's father was still there, although he did not object to him practicing martial arts, but because he wanted him to get a good name in the exam and became a merchant at home, he was forcibly detained to study.But Xue Baochai knew that Xue Pan was not a material for studying at all, and there was no hope at all for taking the imperial examination.It's better to be a good student of martial arts. In the future, I will rely on my uncle to earn a future.After all, Wang Ziteng was also a military commander, right?

Therefore, after Father Xue passed away.Although Xue Baochai said that he did not stop Xue Pan's studies, it greatly reduced his study time, and all he studied and read were books related to military strategy.In addition, it allowed him to devote more time to practicing martial arts.He even begged his uncle to find a famous teacher for him to come and teach him.

Xue Pan put down the teacup in his hand and said, "But my sister. You don't know. The youngest son of the fifth uncle is the one that the fifth uncle often talks about. His name is Xue Qiu. Last night at Hualou was accidentally beaten to death because of jealousy with others. And you would never have imagined that the person who killed Xue Qiu was actually Zhen Yan, the only seedling nephew of the fourth aunt's natal family. Now the two families are fighting for this matter , it’s already a mess, it’s already a mess.”

"What was the big deal for me at the time. It turned out to be this matter. I already knew about it here." The news of Xue Qiu's beating to death, apart from the witnesses at the time, was the first thing she knew.

Xue Pan was suddenly surprised, "Hey, sister, you already know?"

"That's right. The girls were talking about it early this morning. After I heard it, I asked one more question. Then I figured it out." Xue Baochai laughed.

Xue Pan nodded: "That's the way it is." Sighing lightly, he continued: "Although I am not familiar with Xue Qiu, I also know that he is the lifeblood of the fifth uncle and fifth aunt, and now he is being beaten. He died. He was still the nephew of the fourth aunt. The two of them were already a little dirty and not harmonious. After this incident, I am afraid that they will die forever. It is a pity that Xue Qiu can study talent."

Can study?Talent?Really stop joking.If he was really a talented person, how could he go to the flower building and be beaten to death because he was jealous of others?Xue Baochai picked up the teacup, covered up the sneer on her lips, thinking so.

"Sister, now Xue Qiu has been beaten to death. What can we do here?" Xue Pan asked.

Xue Baochai said, "We don't have to do anything. It's their family's business anyway. We just wait for the funeral and follow the rules." He paused, "Brother will have to make two extra trips here." They Although the family said that the blood relationship with Xue Qiu is already a little distant, but in the end they have not released five clothes.This funeral is still to be attended.However, because they are still in the filial period and they are not close relatives, they don't need to be very friendly, just face it.

"It's not a problem to make two more trips. It's just that this is the first time I'm going to participate in this matter, but I don't know how to do it?" Xue Pan scratched his head and asked.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "This is very simple. Ask the servant next to my brother to go and ask Steward Chen, and let him take care of it properly." This housekeeper is Xue Baochai who took care of Li Daren and released him. The one mentioned by Empress Xue Gui is called Chen Zhong.It was Xue Baochai who had dealt with all the family slaves who were the only remaining Xue family slaves.Compared with the previous two, although this person is not smart enough, he is more loyal to the Xue family.For Xue Baochai, as long as the servant is loyal, half of the job is done.

"I see."

Xue Qiu was beaten to death in the flower building without any accident, but within half a day, it became the talk of Jinling City after dinner.

Master Xue Si and Master Xue Wu also had a complete falling out because of this incident.

The Zhen family who beat people to death is also a man who plays cats and dogs, eats, drinks, whores and gambles, and is full of five poisons.Although he is not the only son in the family, he is the only legitimate son. He has not yet married a wife, so his family members naturally don't want him to be lost here.

It's just that killing people pays their lives, which is a matter of course.This incident can be said to have all the evidence of witnesses and materials. If Master Xue Wu is willing to let go of his hand a little bit, it is easy to say, and he can still survive.But Master Xue Wu is vicious at this time. He has three sons, only the youngest son is the most promising, talented in studies, and has a bright future, and now he is beaten to death.No matter how many good things the Zhen family has said here, how many benefits have they promised?He will not let go of his mouth here, he will definitely take the Zhen family's life for life.

Today, it is the city full of noisy noise.

This made Jinling Fu Yin very worried.

Cough cough, not to mention the bustle of Master Xue Si and Master Xue Wu here.

Xue Baochai was completely cleansed because of this incident.He also put all his thoughts on liquidating Xue's family business.

Because there was no one to disturb her, although it was Xue Baochai's first contact with such a large family business, she was naturally intelligent and was taught by Xue's father hand in hand, and she was also accompanied by loyal servants to assist her.In only half a month, Xue Baochai also settled the Xue family's property here.

"It's not unreasonable why this family business is missed by people. Such things make people very excited, no wonder they dare to do it. As the saying goes, birds die for food and people die for money. Sure enough, there is a certain truth." Xue Baochai looked down at more than a dozen thick booklets arranged on the table and a whole box of land deeds and house deeds beside him, and said with a little sigh.

During this time, she thoroughly checked the property at home.Pearls are like earth and gold is like iron. This is an adjective that has been circulated in Jinling City to describe the Xue family.It also shows how much money the Xue family has.In fact, after checking the properties of Xue's family, Xue Baochai just felt that what he said was quite satisfactory.

The Xue family's property is more than she imagined.

The existing money in the family alone is as much as 70 million.Counting those storefronts, shops, silver houses, cloth houses, etc., as well as gold, silver and antiques, etc., the sum of 300 million can't be beat.It's no wonder that people will miss it.It's really money and money!

"Girl, what should we do next?" Yun Juan asked ruthlessly.

Xue Baochai said, "Go and call me Danqing. Tell them to move faster, I have something important to tell them."

Speaking of Danqing, she and Danxin are a pair of twin brothers, but even though they are two brothers, there is no similarity in appearance, personality or preferences.It was an orphan rescued by Xue Baochai when he was young, when he went out with Xue's father by chance.He is also Xue Baochai's most capable confidant now.

"Yes, girl." Yun Juan felt blessed right away, so he went about it without mentioning it.

Not long after, Dan Xin and Dan Qing also came.

"Master." When Danqing came in, he saw Hualing and Jinzhan guarding the door, and when he entered the room, he saw no one else except Yunjuan Yunshu, so he knew that what Xue Baochai had confessed was not a trivial matter up.Immediately, they knelt down on one knee and spoke in unison.

Xue Baochai didn't ask him to get up, but said, "I have an important matter for you to handle." As he spoke, he handed the two letters he had already written to Yun Juan next to him, motioning for her to hand them over. After seeing that they had taken the letter, he went on to say: "Send these two letters to the capital as quickly as possible, and hand them to Mr. Wang's hands by hand, and it will take a few days for them to board , Wait for uncle to reply to the letter, and you will come back."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." Dan Qing accepted the letter, although he was slightly puzzled.But as a subordinate, he knew that there were some things that he should not ask.Therefore, even though he had doubts in his heart, he didn't reveal it, and only replied.

Xue Baochai added another sentence: "Just remember one thing: trust is in people."

Hearing such words, Danqing was startled, and knew that the two letters in his arms might not be ordinary family letters, so he immediately bowed slightly, and said in a serious tone: " Yes, please rest assured, master. The subordinates will keep it in mind. They will definitely complete the task to the death."

"En." Xue Baochai still believed in Danqing, the subordinate she had trained by herself, and said, "Okay, I'm fine here. You go down, go home and get ready, and you'll be ready immediately." Let's go." Xue Baochai said so.

"Yes, my subordinates obey."
