From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 5 Baochai, Xiangling

Jia Wei was also a vulgar man, so he was naturally secretly happy after showing off in front of others.

Mr. Ma is indeed a lawyer. Not only is he eloquent but he is also extremely thick-skinned. If he were to speak on his own, he would never have associated the matter with that beastly Jia Zhen.

"Who is your family? Stop trying to get close to me!" Tie Niu was very resentful after being hit several times.

Father Su didn't feel embarrassed at all: "Master Jia, you haven't had lunch yet, right? I have prepared some light wine in the restaurant. How about I drink three cups as punishment and apologize to Master Jia..."

Su Can leaned closer and whispered, "Hey, Dad, there's no need to be so servile, right? I can beat him."

"Son, this is not a question of whether you can win or not!" Father Su also responded in a low voice, "That is the Jia family with two sons!"

Jia Wei was about to travel and didn't want to get entangled in too much.

"You don't have to drink, but I have to make this matter clear today. Otherwise, you can confuse right and wrong. If it gets out, you will say that I, Jia Wei, bully men and women, and I am a talented writer!"

Ma Xiucai bowed slightly to the crowd and took a step forward: "This matter is simple. Feng Yuan bought this girl first and prepared to honor the second master. Master Xue may not know the whole story, so he beat Feng Yuan and snatched the indenture."

The Xue family member was about to say something, but Ma Xiucai interrupted him and said, "The witness is the kidnapper who is being held in Yingtian Prefecture. Feng Yuan also has evidence."

How could Old Man Su not understand that his family had been cheated? He could only smile awkwardly.

"Do you have any objections?"

Jia Wei just asked casually, without waiting for anyone to answer, and broke into the dilapidated house.

This shabby house was naturally bare. There was a young girl huddled in the corner, holding a cloth bundle with her head down, her body still shaking. It seemed that the noise outside the yard had really scared the insecure Yinglian.

"Have you packed your things? Get up and follow me."

Seeing that Yinglian didn't react, Jia Wei knew that she was confused, and had no choice but to go forward and pull her up.

Jia Wei also saw her face. She had a neat appearance and a pretty figure. There was a little rouge mark the size of a rice grain between her eyebrows, which added a pitiful and touching charm.

She is worthy of being the first of the second volume of the Twelve Beauties...

"I bought you. You will be my maid from now on. Let's go."

But Yinglian still didn't respond. Jia Wei shook his head and could only take the little fool back first.

He was just about to lend a hand when Yinglian responded again and followed his steps woodenly.

Jia Wei immediately left the house, and Yinglian followed him with her head down.

"Wow son, it looks really good!" said Father Su, "No wonder everyone is fighting for it."

"He's got his head buried so low, how can you tell?" Su Can's face was full of doubt.

When Xue Pan saw this scene, his eyes turned red with anger, and coupled with the pain all over his body, he almost cried.

Jia Wei helped Yinglian onto the saddle and sat on it himself. It was the first time that Yinglian had such close contact with a man, and her face immediately turned red and her heart beat fast, and she lowered her head even lower.

Jia Wei subconsciously sniffed the virgin fragrance, glanced at everyone present, and without saying a word, he rode away. Tiezhu and Ma Xiucai hurriedly followed.

However, she returned to Ning Mansion not long ago. Yinglian had not even been to the inner city of Jinling to see it, let alone the halls and pavilions in the Duke's mansion.

Her mind was already dumbfounded, and she stood there, not daring to move, as if she was afraid of dirtying such a nice place with her shoes.

Jia Wei could only reach out and hold her, leading her into the courtyard. Cui Guo had sharp ears, and came forward when she heard the noise, but her smile faded when she saw Jia Wei arguing with a ragged girl.

"Second Master, what is this?"

"The maid I just bought, Xiangling." Jia Wei looked at Yinglian again, "From now on you will be called Xiangling, remember." Xiangling nodded gently, which was considered a response.

Cuiguo couldn't laugh anymore. Originally, she was the only maidservant by Jia Wei's side, and now there was suddenly one more person. Naturally, she was not mentally prepared.

"Cuiguo, take Xiangling downstairs to take a bath, and get two of your old clothes for her to change into. When we get to the capital, I will buy some satin to make you new clothes." Jia Wei certainly didn't care what the maid thought, he just gave the order.

"Okay, Second Master!" Cuiguo agreed and trotted forward to take Xiangling away.

"Why are you always keeping your head down? Is there silver on the ground?" As she said this, she stretched out her hand and lifted Xiangling's chin. She was stunned and immediately alarm bells went off in her heart, feeling that her status as the eldest maid was threatened.

"Don't bully her." Jia Wei said from behind.

"Oh!" Cuiguo responded in a muffled voice, and her mood became bad.

It is said that Xue Pan sneaked into the house through the back door with wounds all over his body. He did not dare to disturb his mother and sister, so he ordered the servant to find a doctor.

But by chance, the doctor was seen by Aunt Xue's maid Tongxi when he came to the house. Aunt Xue and Baochai were doing needlework in the back house. When they heard that the doctor came to the house, they knew that something had happened to Xue Pan.

Aunt Xue hurriedly grabbed Xue Pan's servant and asked him what happened. After the housekeeper sent the doctor away, she personally ordered someone to prepare the medicine and hurriedly took Baochai into Xue Pan's yard.

Seeing that Xue Pan had some wounds but no broken bones, Aunt Xue felt distressed and angry, scolding Xue Pan and Jia Wei.

Aunt Xue wanted to go to Ningguo Mansion in person to seek justice for Xue Pan, but Baochai quickly advised her:
"It's not a big deal. They just had a fight because of a dispute over buying a girl. Since it's a fight, it's inevitable that one of them will get hit more often.

"We have just inquired clearly. It was the second brother who bought the girl first. The fault was originally with the kidnapper, but my brother beat his people. Our family is not in the right.

"Besides, he wasn't just someone else. He was my uncle's nephew. It wouldn't sound good if mom told others that she came to my house for such a small matter.

"Besides, my second brother is a top scorer in the military exam and will go to Beijing to take the imperial examination soon. After passing the exam, he will most likely stay in Beijing to take up a post. He is a member of the Jia family and my brother will most likely still have some contact with him, so it is not advisable to make enemies with him."

Aunt Xue heard this and said, "My son, you are the one who thought of it. I was so angry that I lost my mind."

Baochai smiled and said, "That's good. My brother is not afraid of mother, and he doesn't listen to others' advice. He is getting more and more unruly day by day. After he has suffered two setbacks, he will be at peace when we go to the capital."

It turned out that the Xue family had also chosen an auspicious day and were preparing to go to the capital.

One is because Baochai went to Beijing to be selected as a talented person and a praiser of good deeds;
The second is to visit relatives and friends;

Third, since the death of Xue Pan's father, the Xue family's business has gradually declined. Business in Shenjing City is the most prosperous, so Xue Pan needs to go to the capital in person to settle old accounts and calculate new expenses.

Baochai laughed, but then felt a little bitter.

Jia Wei was about the same age as her brother. Although he behaved like a dandy, he was already a military scholar, so it should not be difficult for him to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.

Now that the imperial court is in decline, the status of military men has relatively improved, and Jia Wei's future is promising.

Her brother was spoiled and became a failure, with a luxurious personality. He spent his days cockfighting, horse riding, and traveling. Although he was an imperial merchant, he was completely ignorant of the economic affairs of the world.

After Aunt Xue calmed down, she thought that after entering the capital, they, an orphan and a widow, would need the support of the Jia family. Although Jia Wei was from the Ning Mansion and was not taken seriously, he was still a member of the Jia family after all. He still had to do a good job on the surface and not give people any chance to talk about him.

Aunt Xue then ordered someone to call Master Fang Wu over, and told him through the window to count out five hundred taels of silver and give it to Jia Wei as travel expenses for the exam.

Xue Pan lay on the couch and cursed Jia Wei, and became even more angry when he thought of Xiangling who had been taken away.

However, Jia Wei was not only a man from the Ning Mansion, but also a martial arts expert. After applying medicine on the whip wound on his back, the burning pain came again. Xue Pan really did not dare to have any intention of taking revenge on Jia Wei.

Xue Pan was so angry that he remembered the arrogant face of Ma Xiucai who followed Jia Wei today. Suddenly, Xue Dashazi had an idea. After Jia Wei left, he would take action against Ma Xiucai.

The children of the Jia family cannot be touched. Why should I, Xue Ba Wang, be afraid of a lawyer like you?
