King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 122 Departure
Orthodoxy ten years, July 25.

Outside the gate of Xue's mansion, Xue Panfei got off his horse and galloped towards the mansion.

"Pass it on quickly, pack up your things quickly, and we will set off in a while!"

Xue Pan's words stunned the whole family.

"Master, where are you going?" A housekeeper couldn't help asking.

"Where else can I go? Of course, to the capital of God, hurry up and gather people to clean up, and leave in half an hour!"

"Go!" Xue Pan scolded coldly.

"Yes!"

Under Xue Pan's strict order, the servants of the Xue family got busy and began to prepare chariots and horses to salute.

The Xue family became noisy, which naturally alarmed Aunt Xue in the inner house, so she sent someone to inquire about the situation.

"Why are you going to leave all of a sudden? Pan'er is too messed up. Could this be a joke?"

When Aunt Xue was complaining, she saw Xue Pan quickly entering the courtyard with a look of joy on his face.

"Mother, you and your sister pack up quickly, and leave for the capital today!"

"It's fine, why are you leaving all of a sudden?" Aunt Xue was puzzled.

Xue Pan looked proud: "Just now my son went to the palace and handed over the foreigner he found to the Thirteenth Master. The Thirteenth Master was so happy that he agreed to his son's invitation!"

Through these days of busy work, he and his family found a few foreign craftsmen, who were dug from the foreign army, and their craftsmanship was indeed good.

"What did you ask for?" Aunt Xue asked.

Xue Pan replied: "My son begs the Thirteenth Lord to allow our family to accompany us and go to Beijing with the prince's guard of honor!"

Although it is said to be a peaceful and prosperous age, there are still great risks in traveling long distances. If you follow the prince's guard of honor to the capital, you don't have to worry about safety issues.

"Amitabha... If that's the case, that would be great!" Aunt Xue clasped her hands together and became a devout believer again.

"To be valued by the Thirteenth Lord and bestowed with grace... my son is finally promising!"

That's what she said, but just now, she was the one who said that Xue Pan was messing around.

It was rare to hear his mother praise him, and Xue Pan, who was already happy, was even more overjoyed. He had never been so happy in his life.

Xue Pan said again: "Mother... you and your sister go to Duzhong first, and I will rush over when I finish my work!"

"You won't go to Beijing with us?" Aunt Xue was extremely surprised.

No matter how unreliable Xue Pan is, he is always a man, the only reliance and reliance of the Xue family's mother and daughter.

Now that Xue Pan is not going to Beijing together, it is normal for Aunt Xue to feel worried.

Xue Pan replied: "The Thirteenth Master said, let my son find more foreign craftsmen, and find more translators who can speak Western dialect!"

Aunt Xue replied: "Then why don't we go to Beijing together after you finish your errands!"

Xue Pan looked distressed: "Then I don't know how long we'll have to wait, the princess attendant candidacy is approaching, if my sister doesn't come to Beijing earlier... I'm afraid I'll miss it!"

Although he was naive and irritable, he could even be said to be a little stupid, but his care and love for his mother and sister were not adulterated at all.

"That's true!" Aunt Xue was irrefutable.

"Then finish your errands as soon as possible, and then go to Beijing to meet with us. You must not stay in Jinling and do anything wrong!"

Aunt Xue knew her son well, and knew that if she didn't hold him back in Jinling, there might be troubles.

"If you find someone the Thirteenth Lord needs, you have to take him to the capital immediately. How dare your son stay in Jinling!"

Xue's family saved Zhu Jinghong's life, and now Zhu Jinghong is reputable to Xue's family. On the surface, the relationship between the two is very close.

But every time Zhu Jinghong was mentioned, Xue Pan looked terrified, which made Aunt Xue feel distressed.

But sometimes she thought about it, it was a rare good thing to have this thirteenth master suppress her and let her go on the right path.

Besides, in Xue Baochai's boudoir, under the leadership of Ying'er Wenxing, a group of maids are also packing their things.

There are more than [-] large and small packages and boxes, which contain everything needed for basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are moving.

While helping Xue Baochai fasten the cloak, Wen Xing complained, "Girl, leave in such a hurry, it's almost time for lunch!"

"You just know how to eat. If you are really hungry, go and bring some food yourself later!"

Baochai looked calm, his eyes were a little empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, a girl outside reported: "Girl, the sedan chair is ready, Madam asked when we will leave!"

The sedan chairs were all ready, and obviously the luggage was also loaded into the car. Everything was ready, and it took less than half an hour.

"Let's go!"

Surrounded by a group of maids and women, Baochai walked out of the boudoir.

But after walking down the steps of the house, she stopped and looked back, wanting to take a good look at this familiar place.

After a few breaths, Baochai turned around again and walked out, there was a small sedan chair waiting outside the courtyard gate, and the people who carried the sedan chair were four healthy women.

They carried Baochai out of the inner house, and then handed it over to the bearers to carry it, all because of the great defense of men and women.

The same is true for Aunt Xue, she has been carried out of the inner house at this moment, and will leave when Baochai arrives.

Aunt Xue's mother and daughter are leaving, and the clansmen who received the news all appeared here to say goodbye.

Now that Xue Pan was blessed by misfortune and got into Zhu Jinghong's relationship, no matter what the members of the Xue family thought, they no longer dared to disrespect the elder.

"Ma'am, Shenjing is a long way away, so you have to take care of yourself along the way!"

"If there is anything you need, don't forget to write to my wife, we will try to find it!"

The crowd seemed extraordinarily enthusiastic. How aggressive they were during the clan meeting that day could not be seen at this moment.

Through the curtain, Aunt Xue said slowly: "I don't worry about anything else, I just hope that you will help Pan'er and do the errands assigned by the Thirteenth Master well. This will also benefit our family!"

"If it goes wrong... I don't need to talk about the consequences!"

At this time, Aunt Xue did not forget to warn the tribe, just to pave the way for her son.

Before the members of the Xue family made a statement, they heard someone rushing from outside and reported: "Madam Qi, there is a father-in-law coming outside, saying that he is here to pick us up and escort us on our way!"

Hearing this, Aunt Xue immediately said: "Pan'er, go and greet me!"

"Yes!"

Xue Pan went to receive him, and all members of the Xue family followed, except for the elderly Xue Yucheng who did not move.

"Madam... the previous incidents were all due to old age and stupidity, which caused a lot of troubles. I hope my wife will forgive me!"

By this time, Xue Yucheng could see clearly that it was almost impossible to bring down Da Fang.

On the contrary, after Dafang's status is stabilized, he will take counterattacks against them. When the time comes, their branch clansmen will have a hard time.

According to Xue Pan's temper, it is not impossible to drive out Xue's house along the way.

"As the saying goes, an old man is like a treasure in a family, and Pan'er is fraught with things, so she still needs my second uncle to take care of her!"

"Don't mention the past!"

After giving Xue Yucheng a step down, and not pursuing the past, Aunt Xue really has the heart of a bodhisattva.

Xue Yucheng was very surprised. He thought he would be scolded, but he didn't expect such a result.

"My wife is huge, I am ashamed of myself, I am ashamed!" Xue Yucheng's figure became more and more stooped.

Aunt Xue sighed: "After all, we are a family, stop fighting in the same room, it will make people laugh!"

"My wife taught me, I will remember it!"

At this time, someone shouted: "The girl's sedan chair has come out!"

When Xue Baochai got out of the sedan chair, it was time to set off.

Now that eunuchs have arrived, Aunt Xue dared not delay any longer, so she gave the order to leave.
