Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 253 Xue Family

"What kind of thing is this? It's so unreliable!" Jia Hui sneered at this statement. What kind of things did the queen do to make the emperor break the Taizu's rules and ennoble a concubine's family?

Besides, even if he put the queen under house arrest, it would be more cost-effective than giving the Wu family a title!

"So it's a rumor!" Jia She just smiled. Anyway, it was just fun to talk about unsubstantiated things. And with such a big boy here, could the emperor kill him for telling rumors that were widely circulated in the noble circle?

"Could it be that the Wu family has some secret mission, and because it's hard to get a reward if it's completed, so they knighted the Wu family on the pretext of rewarding Concubine Wu?" Jia Zhu rubbed her chin and guessed, not showing any concern for the family at all. Fortunately, the Earl's respect.

Although he is a civil servant, he actually has military merits. He even has many military merits and can be made a viscount.

After all, North Korea rebelled in the end, so the merits of that mission were regarded as military merits. As the deputy envoy, he naturally also received military merits. That is to say, Jia Zhu wanted to be in the literary class, so he failed to fulfill his military merits and became a knight and transferred to the military class.

"It's hard to say!" Jia Hui couldn't deny this, and planned to find out in two days from Tan Ji, who had been promoted to the commander of Xiuyiwei.

"Ah, by the way, I've been talking about the Wu family forever, and I almost forgot what I wanted to ask." Jia Hui rubbed his confused head, "You haven't said why Xiangyun came to live in our house. !”

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot!" Jia She also slapped his forehead, "Or the Wu family, who is that? What is the name of Concubine Wu's brother?"

"Wu Renlong?" Jia Zhu thought about it for a moment. Concubine Wu had two younger brothers. The eldest brother Wu Renlong was about the same age as Xiangyun. If they were related, it should be him, right?

"Yes, that's him!" Jia She raised his glass and drank all the rice wine in one gulp, "Ahem. Some time ago, the female relatives of the Shi family went to the White Horse Temple to burn incense. It happened that the Wu family also went to burn incense. The Shi family When I was out hiking in the woods, I happened to be seen by Wu Renlong, and he immediately took a liking to our Xiangyun!"

"What? Are you attracted to Xiangyun?" Jia Zhu looked shocked and even turned his head to look in Shi Xiangyun's direction.

Xiangyun, whose mouth was full of oil as Lin Daiyu pressed the chicken leg against her, felt something. He raised his head and happened to meet Jia Zhu's eyes, grinning heartily.

"Hiss" Jia Zhu quickly looked away, puzzled.

"Oh, how dare the Xingjin family covet the daughter of the Baoling Hou Shi family? You don't even urinate to see if you are worthy, but you are so shy that you want toads to eat swan meat?" Jia Hui was very disdainful of this. .

"That's it! But the Wu family's wife, Concubine Wu's biological mother, dotes on her son to death! In addition, the Wu family really wants to truly enter our noble circle, so this marriage becomes the most effective way!

So the mistress of the Wu family relied on the fact that her grandson was a prince and others had to give her face. When she had time, she went to the historian's house to chat and pretended to inquire about Xiangyun's marriage. Her attitude was like a hungry tiger pounced on her after seeing Xiangyun. He jumped on her and put her jade bracelet on Xiangyun's wrist! "Jia She said with emotion.

The two brothers from the Shi family came over to drink with him two days ago. The depression in their hearts was really

Don't know what to say!

Doesn't the Wu family know that the four families of King Jia Shi and Xue are all closely surrounding Jia Hui, supporting the fourth prince?

"Have you read too many stories? Does the Wu family want to imitate the long-term bets of those powerful families? Or do they want to use the historians to poach the fourth prince?" Jia Zhu said with a ridiculous look.

In the early years, those aristocratic families were able to place more bets because they had a lot of resources and the family also had a lot of talents, so they were qualified to make long bets, and the Wu family.

Do you need a butcher?

"Who knows." Jia Hui shrugged, "So the Shi family sent Xiangyun to our house to avoid the limelight? By the way, would you like to express that the Shi family has no ambiguity and is firmly on the same front as the Jia family?"

For today's Daqi, there seems to be no suspense about the ownership of the throne. The emperor's princes are dead and useless, and the fourth prince and the seventh prince are fighting. Although the seventh prince is powerful, But he has an impatient temper and beats people if he can't make a fuss. He and Jia Taiwei are like half-brothers.

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? Don't forget that the current Holy Emperor is less than three years older than me. It is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. It seems that there is no problem in living for another twenty years. The variables are too great. I Don't be careless!" Seeing Jia Hui's nonchalant look, Jia She frowned and advised.

He understands this very well!

The first prince was like this back then. He looked like he didn't take his second brother seriously, and didn't even take him seriously at all. What happened next?

That guy got into trouble under the nose of the first prince, and even secretly instigated the first prince to rebel. It can be said that the first prince died because of the rival he had inadvertently raised!

"Don't worry, I'm sensible." Jia Hui still waved his hand disapprovingly. Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Jia She could only shake his head in his heart. He had to suffer a big loss to gain his memory!

In Jia Hui's view, the incident involving the eighth prince born to Concubine Wu was not as serious as Jia She imagined.

Maybe the eighth prince wouldn't even dare to go to the combat unit, or he wouldn't be able to endure the hardship!

In Da Qi, a prince who has not completed at least three years of military training is not eligible to compete for the throne!

Regardless of what the other princes think, the civil and military nobles below will join forces to destroy him first!

What a lewd thing, how dare you covet the throne!

How dare a weakling become the Emperor of Qi?

Therefore, for at least fifteen years, there is no need to worry about the threats from this so-called eighth prince, or even all the young princes in the future.

Since Shi Xiangyun moved into the house for this purpose, there would be nothing wrong with him.

After he ordered his soldiers to go to the Shi's family and inform him, "I already know about this matter," the matter had nothing to do with the Shi's family. The big brother Jia's family took over!

By the time the banquet was over, it was already very late, and nearly twenty people from the Duke's mansion went home. Jia Hui was also carried to the yard of his mistress Li Wan by Oriole.

Jia Hui slumped on the bed in confusion, letting several maids wash himself and Li Wan.

It wasn't until the foot washer wiped the water off the feet of the couple and put on clean middle clothes that Jia Hui turned around, looked at Li Wan and asked, "You should also know about the incident in Xiangyun." Alright?"

Hearing this, the maids knew that they should go down, so they carried the things for washing and exited the room, and closed the door thoughtfully.

After the door was closed, Li Wan slowly lay down on the bed and turned sideways to look at the master with blurred eyes.

"Of course I know, but I don't know what I mean, and I think that your return home is just in these few days, and there won't be any delays, so I didn't make my own decisions, I just let people Pay more attention to the rumors in the market." Li Wan said softly.

"Well, have there been any rumors?" Jia Hui nodded, his eyelids had begun to fight, and he was very sleepy.

"That's not true, but I found out that the Wu family had asked someone to spread the news that their family was discussing marriage with the daughter of the founding Baolinghou Mansion."

"Ha, what a dirty thing!" Hearing this, Jia Hui's eyes that were about to close suddenly widened, "What happened next?"

"Of course I was rejected!" Li Wan said matter-of-factly.

"Who is the Wu family? After all, he is from a butcher family. I don't know the rules of a family like ours. But among all the urban foxes and rats in Luoyang City, who doesn't have a serious noble family as a backer to help us deal with some dirty things? Are you working hard?" After years of experience, Li Wan has lost his innocence, and he and Jia Hui have gradually grown into a qualified feudal aristocratic couple.

"So, when the Wu family approached the club, they knew they were going to gossip about our family, so they immediately reported to our house."

"Not bad. Not bad, I have some brains." Jia Hui nodded, obviously very satisfied with the knowledge of this group of people.

"Whose family is it?"

"People from the Niu family."

"Well, it turns out that my brother is reliable."

Jia Hui sighed and drooped his eyelids again.

"Go to the Niu family tomorrow with five hundred taels of silver, and ask the Niu family to hand it over to that society. If someone helps us solve the problem, we can't be stingy with the reward."

"Don't worry, I went there with a thousand taels the day before yesterday." Isn't this something Li Wan already has at his fingertips?

"That's fine." Jia Hui was still very relieved about Li Wan's way of doing things.

As for whether to give five hundred taels or one thousand taels, it doesn't matter. The family is not short of this money.

Although he is inferior to Wang Xifeng in terms of shrewdness, in terms of overall view and perspective, he is several miles ahead of Wang Xifeng, who is fake and really confused.

Therefore, it is enough for me to just mention it like now and check for her deficiencies.

If you give it, give it. If you don't give it, you can take the money and give it tomorrow. As long as you push the problem to him, Jia Hui, and say, "Because I can't make the decision, I can only wait for the master to come back." This kind of scene will make everyone look good.

"By the way, during this period, there will be a banquet attended by the mistress of the Wu family. If there is someone who suits your status, you can go. Then go to her and make it clear that Jia Shi, Wang Lin and Li Xue will not interact with their Wu family. Those who get married at home, phew, must make it clear, phew.”

"Ah? Are you really saying it so bluntly? Or... Master, Master?" Li Wan was startled at first. The words were too straightforward for her to say, but her master was already too sleepy and fell asleep, so Li Wan Had to give up

That's all, anyway, just convey the master's meaning in place, no matter so much, go to sleep!

. . . . . .

While the Jia and Shi families were worrying about their son and the Wu family, the mother and son who were far away in Jinling were also packing their bags and preparing to leave Jinling by boat.

Xue Mansion.

Although as a businessman of the Xue family, one should not use "fu" to refer to one's own family, but at least the family was once the spy chief of Taizu who monitored the south of the Yangtze River, and was an absolute confidant. In addition, since the founding of Daqi, all the family heads of the family have Ziwei. Because of Shiren's empty duty, everyone ignored the Xue family's "mansion".

"Mom! My new saddle!"

"Ask the groom!"

"Mom! What's my favorite little crown?"

"I don't know which one you like best. Why don't I just wear it on your head?"

"Mom! Mine."

"Oh, I don't know, I don't know! Shouldn't you ask the maid in your courtyard about your things?"

"Ah, yes, yes, maid!"

Seeing the daily life of her mother and brother unfolding in front of her, her initial anxiety about going to Beijing to become a concubine was mostly dissipated in an instant, and Xue Baochai finally showed a faint smile on her round, silver-faced face.

Yes, being a concubine.

In fact, she is seventeen years old and three years older than Lin Daiyu. She should have left for the capital last year. However, due to her father's death from illness, the Xue family could only observe mourning for three years, which meant that they had to wait until Xue Baochai was seventeen. After the filial piety period is over, I will go to the capital of gods.

Different from the original work, because with Jia Hui as his big backer, Lao Xue lived a happy life with almost everything going smoothly, but he lived a few more years!

Unfortunately, it is a fundamental disease after all. This disease cannot be cured by keeping the body and mind happy. In the winter when Xue Baochai was fifteen years old, Lao Xue could no longer endure it and left the world in his sleep, never to be seen again. See the sunshine at dawn the next day.

Since then, the head of the Xue family has fallen on Xue Pan.

After all, with Jia Hui as a big backer, even if the elders in the family don't like Dafang's mother-in-law, they can only admit it by pinching their noses.

No way, everyone knows why business has been so smooth in the past few years, and the great rebellion that spread throughout Jiangnan a few years ago almost killed all the aristocratic families in Jiangnan, many of whom were much higher than the Xue family. Big family!

If Jia Hui hadn't informed the Xue family in advance for Dafang's sake, they would have become lonely ghosts!

Therefore, Xue Pan's position as head of the family was finally secured.

"She smiled. Mom, look, my sister is smiling!"

A loud noise in his ears woke up Xue Baochai, who was still deep in thought. He looked intently and saw that his brother and mother looked at him with joyful expressions, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.

"Girl," Mrs. Xue Wang looked at her somewhat uneasy daughter and hesitated to speak.

Her daughter's condition at this time was so similar to when she was married to the Xue family by her father. How could she not know what her daughter was worried about?

It's just that after marrying Xue Lang as his wife, this uneasy feeling was eliminated by the heavy errands of being the head mother of the house, but what about her daughter?

She is going to marry the current Taiwei as a concubine.

Will the mistress bully her? Will the other concubines of the Taiwei exclude her?

Will I be unable to eat, unable to sleep, or homesick?

Seeing her mother's worried look, Xue Baochai's nose felt sour, but she still had a strong nature and held back the tears. Instead, she cheered up: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Oh girl, girl! My precious girl!" Seeing that her daughter was so sensible, Mrs. Xue Wang could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes. She cried and rushed forward, hugging Xue Baochai tightly in her arms and kept crying. shout

The mother and daughter hugged each other and just kept crying without saying a word.

　Adult Xue Baochai officially debuts!
