Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 13 The Personality of the Imperial Envoy

After Xue Chen dealt with the supplies, he returned to Jinling.

Xue Chen left, Xue Baobao said, haha, it's my monkey's turn to be king!
Xue Baobao immediately ordered a few embroiderers to come back, and asked them to study how to carry a thing the size of a sledgehammer with them without being discovered, ridiculed, or even suspected.

Xue Baobao gave the money readily, and the embroiderers worked hard, and some of them developed oversized purses and sachets that would never be laughed at as tacky.

Some, following Xue Baobao's suggestion, improved the styles of their skirts and belts, making the skirts larger and adding petticoats with fixed wires.

The belt is designed to be wider and more diverse, even adding a style similar to a modern waist bag. It must be ensured that the knife can be inserted into it without being discovered.

A few days later, Xue Chen came back with the banknotes and ledger to reconcile with Xue Baobao.

Xue Baobao, "..."

It felt like Xue Chen had misjudged his character.

Xue Baobao was too lazy to reconcile the accounts, and even less lazy to ask someone to read the data in her ear, so she asked Xue Chen to put it there, and she looked at it herself, and ordered to take out the research results of the past few days and ask Xue Chen for his opinion.

Xue Chen said honestly, "Girls can only carry a few candies and pills with them. It doesn't look good to have such a big sachet.

If you really want a lot of stuff, you have to pack it, and this one can’t hold much.

As for the clothes, although they look strange, the eyes of the daughters' family have always been unpredictable, but they can be sold in the family shop first, and see how the situation is."

Xue Baobao, "..."

The four characters "unfathomable" are used very expressively, and can almost include girls from all over the world.

Xue Baobao thought for a while, and tentatively said, "Why don't we add a gimmick and choose some nice names, such as Liuxian skirt, princess skirt, bubble skirt and so on.

Let’s just say that it’s a new style brought over from overseas, and the ladies and young ladies in the capital are all wearing this style now.

Then they went to the capital in a batch, saying that all the girls on Su Yang's side were dressed like this.

Well, to raise the price, it is necessary to create an aura that the upper class can afford.

Then give it to the wives and girls in various prefectures, don't be stingy, if they wear it, others will naturally wear it."

With her current status, if she wanted to wear such clothes without being criticized or beaten by Mrs. Xue, the only way was to let other girls wear them, if not most, at least some of them.

Xue Chen, "..."

Wouldn't it be great if some of the girl's cleverness were given to the uncle?
……

……

About ten days later, the imperial envoy sent by the emperor was about to arrive, so Lin Ruhai asked the Xue brothers and sisters to come over in advance.

Early the next morning, Xue Chen accompanied Xue Pan and Xue Baobao to the Lin Mansion.

Xue Baobao was still holding a mother-in-law lamp in his hand, this was today's soup, because she wanted to come over, so she took it by herself, so as to save the Lin family from having to send someone to fetch it.

Lin Ruhai took the soup, thanked him again and again, and ordered breakfast to be served with Xue's brothers and sisters.

He is an elder, and Xue Baobao is still young, but it doesn't matter.

When they were just having breakfast, Xue Pan kept looking at his small cup, which made Lin Ruhai very confused. Mr. Xue, do you not like him to drink their soup?

But he also knew that Xue Pan was a generous person. He didn't expect that Xue Pan smelled the delicious soup and wanted to eat it, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

After eating, Lin Ruhai carefully explained to the two brothers and sisters, "I have already found out, this time the emperor sent two imperial envoys to come in disguise.

One is Mr. He from the Ministry of Households, currently living in the fifth rank, and the other is an adult from the Jinyi Mansion, surnamed Yu, who is now also living in the fifth rank, and is in a thousand households."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Oh, I saw the legendary Jin Yiwei!
I wonder if the flying fish suit looks as handsome and gorgeous on the real Jin Yiwei as on TV?

Is Xiuchundao as handsome as on TV?
Xue Pan scoffed, but they were just two fifth-rank officials!

Lin Ruhai frowned, and did not speak to him, but only said to Xue Baobao, "Miss Xue, although these two adults do not have high official titles, they are both the emperor's confidantes.

That Lord He Yanhe was the number one scholar in arithmetic last year. I heard that he was very good at accounting. Even if the accounts were worth millions, he would not make a mistake by a single copper penny.

His abacus skills are so perfect that the people around him are dizzy! "

Xue Baobao nodded immediately, yes, the national champion of arithmetic is definitely the smartest among smart people.

Don't worry, Immortal Lin, I will never dare to underestimate him, and I will definitely beat my stupid brother so hard.

"As for that Master Yu—"

When Lin Ruhai said this, Luxu paused.

Xue Baobao stared at him closely, "What's wrong with that Master Yu? Uncle, tell me quickly!"

She was very curious about how the legendary Jinyiwei Baihu and Qianhu were doing?
Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Pan, and finally said, "This Lord Yu is one-word letter. It is said that he is also from a certain aristocratic family, but his parents died when he was young, and he was sent to a high mountain to learn martial arts.

He entered the capital, won the top prize in martial arts, entered the Jinyiwei, and climbed to the position of Qianhu in less than two years. He was a very powerful character.

There are many rumors about him in Beijing, and the most common one is that he is ruthless, vengeful, and will do whatever it takes to get the upper echelon."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Wow, the live-action Jinyiwei Master Qianhu's character design!

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but look at Xue Pan again as he spoke, "Of course, these are irrelevant, he is entrusted with the emperor's life, and you are giving up money for righteousness, so he will never embarrass you.

However, Master Yu still has a nickname in Beijing called Yu Meiren. I heard that he is young and handsome, with a face like a good girl, and his beauty is not as good as many girls.

But this lord hates others talking about his appearance the most, even if he takes a second look, he will remember it in his heart, relying on the power of Jinyi Mansion, if he finds an opportunity, he will ruin the family! "

Xue Baobao, "..."

How to do?
Suddenly I can't wait to see that Mr. Qianhu!

Xue Pan, who had been sitting listlessly next to him as a toolman, became excited and asked, "Is she really that beautiful? Then I really want to see it!"

Xue Baobao, "..."

This time, it was rare for the stupid brother to keep in line with her brainwaves.

Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Baobao silently, and Xue Baobao suddenly understood.

So Immortal Lin specially asked them to come here, to tell her to take care of her stupid brother, don't cast her eyeballs randomly, and don't be snapped by the embroidered spring knife of that Qianhu lord?

Xue Baobao remembered that in the original work, Xue Pan saw Liu Xianglian's handsome appearance, came forward to tease her, and was beaten up by her, and she suddenly felt like squeezing Xue Pan to death!
I can understand you fighting with others over a beautiful woman.

I can understand you teasing a handsome man and being beaten up by him.

But you do such a thing at the same time, I can't understand!
To be a human being, the most important thing is to be single-minded, single-minded!
Even if you can't be dedicated to one person, how can you not be dedicated to both genders?
Xue Baobao tentatively asked, "Then I wonder if these two imperial envoys have anything they like?"

Let's give gifts first, and even if Xue Pan stares at him squintingly, he probably, maybe, won't hold grudges too much?

Lin Ruhai said, "That Lord Yu likes all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs, rare elixir, almost everyone in the capital knows, but there is no rumor that Master He likes anything."

He is mainly a fifth-grade doctor in the household department, and no one will pay attention to what he likes.

Xue Baobao, "..."

She has lived a long life, and that poppy even has the same preferences as her, so why would she want to see her even more?
Xue Baobao asked many more specific details, and then he left and went back, discussing with Xue Chen how to make Xue Pan stare lewdly at the beautiful boy when they meet each other.

Xue Chen was silent for a while and asked, "Do I have to go to see you?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

Good question!
I don't know how to complain at all!

Xue Baobao thought for a while, and said decisively, "So, let Master Wu take brother to the best brothel, find the most beautiful girl, and force him to watch.

If you see something wrong with his expression or eyes, give him a slap; if he dares to attack, give him a whip to see if he can hold it back."

After all, the imperial envoy could arrive in minutes, and even if he was castrated now, it would be too late.

Xue Chen, "..."

Ever since I arrived in Yangzhou, I always felt that the girl was swimming in the sea.

"Girl, isn't this not good?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Let Master Wu take him with him now. It will take him a long time to replace him. He must let him see all the beautiful girls in Yangzhou before the imperial envoy comes."

Xue Chen, "..."

All right, he is just a slave, what else can he do besides obeying his master?
"Well, get ready. I'll go out for a stroll and buy some souvenirs for the two imperial envoys."

Well, stupid brother goes to get re-education, and I go shopping, perfect!
……

……

Sure enough, in the evening, the Lin Mansion sent someone to tell them that the imperial envoys had arrived and would live in the Lin Mansion, and asked them to come over early tomorrow morning.

The next day, Baobao Xue got up early, and as soon as he cleaned things up, Xue Chen sent someone to say that Xue Pan had a fever at night and had invited a doctor to see him, but now that the fever subsided, he couldn't get up at all.

Xue Baobao, "..."

Isn't this too careless?

Xue Baobao hurried over to look, Xue Pan had already been woken up, lying on the bed weakly and moaning.

Xue Baobao, "..."

Just have a fever, is this necessary?
Back then, no matter how hot she had a fever, she didn't delay taking the physics exam that she hated the most, and then she failed the exam and was ridiculed by her brother!
"Brother, I don't need to say anything about today's matter. You know it. It's very important. Now that your fever has subsided, go and meet with Uncle Lin to see the imperial envoy and come back and lie down."

Hearing this, Xue Pan suddenly had new and old hatreds in his heart, broke down and cried, "I'm already like this, why do you want me to visit my lord!
You are the same as Second Uncle, wishing that I would die sooner!
You lock me here every day, forcing me to copy books, forcing me to walk on horseback, and forcing me to practice boxing!
If you can't finish copying, you won't be given food, if you can't hold your horse, you will be whipped, and if you don't pay attention to practicing boxing, you will be fisted!
You asked people to make such delicious soup for Aunt Lin, you made so many delicious dishes for Uncle Xue, and for the maidservants, but you didn't even give them to me!
You want me to die!

I want to go back to Jinling and tell my wife!Let your wife teach you a lesson! "

Xue Baobao, "..."

I just want to give him another whip immediately!
Xue Pan's accusation continued, "Yesterday you asked Master Wu to beat me! I didn't look at the girl, but he forced me to look at it. When I looked at it, he beat me!
The emperor and I don't bring such troublesome people!Are you my real sister! "

Xue Baobao, "...we'll talk about this later. Now follow me to see the Imperial Envoy."

I directly suspect that Xue Pan is not only a pervert, but also a foodie, otherwise why would he complain so much!
"If I don't go, I won't go! Aren't you amazing! When Daddy praises you, Mommy listens to you! Now even that servant Xue Chen listens to you!

You are awesome, go see me!What did you ask me to do?I won't go!I won't go! "

Xue Baobao, "..."

If he wasn't sick, she would beat him up right now!
Xue Chen said, "Girl, it's too late to make trouble again, I'm afraid it won't be respectful."

Xue Baobao gritted his teeth, "Forget it, let's go to see Uncle Lin first, so you can keep an eye on uncle.

Uncle is sick, don’t give him anything except water and medicine today, remember it.”

When Xue Pan heard that Xue Baobao dared not to give him food, he screamed at the top of his lungs.

Xue Baobao pretended not to hear, turned around and left.

I don’t work every day, and I don’t even want to be a tool at the critical moment. I still want to eat!Eat dirt, you!
