The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 153

Seeing that Zhao Chen was returning disappointed every day, Baozhu couldn't help being anxious, and wanted to help him, but she didn't know what to do for a while, she was familiar with Wan Lao, and she was probably really unwilling to see His Highness.

She hadn't been to the pharmacy for several days, and it was the eighth day of the eighth day, so Baozhu told Zhao Chen that she wanted to visit the pharmacy.

Zhao Chen agreed, and only asked her to come back earlier.

As soon as I went to the pharmacy, Wang Xi came to find him.

Baozhu smiled and said, "Second Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a while, are you okay? How is Miss Awei?"

"It's all good." Wang Xi looked a little weird, "Come out with me, I have something to ask you."

Baozhu nodded, and the two came to the wing room in the backyard, Baozhu said with a smile, "Second Brother Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Ayu." Wang Xi said solemnly, "You are really Lin Chen's younger brother, no, it should be said that he is the King of Shu, Zhao Chen. Two days ago, I bumped into him going to the Wang's house, so I asked my father. Looking for Wanlao, Ayu, I remember that the queen mother only has two children, the emperor and the king of Shu, you?"

Baozhu also knew that Zhao Chen would definitely run into Wang Xi when he went to Wang's house, but he couldn't tell him that he was a princess, so he just said, "Second Brother Wang, I'm just His Highness's distant cousin, because of some connections, His Highness treats Wang Xi well. I took extra care of it, and I had no choice but to hide the identity of His Highness last time."

Wang Xi suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "So that's how it is."

Bao Zhu said sadly, "Second Brother Wang, isn't Wan Lao a very kind person? Why has your Highness been down several times, but Wan Lao refused to see him even once."

"Amiable?" Wang Xi looked strange, "Mr. Wan is just being kind to you. He is usually not very kind to me, especially to my father. You are probably the only one who says he is kind and easy to get along with."

After saying this, Baozhu became more and more worried, "Then what should His Highness do?"

Wang Xi hesitated, "I see that Mr. Wan is very kind to you, why don't you help me talk?"

Baozhu really wanted to help the King of Shu. With such a weird temper, His Highness might not be able to do anything about it. She might as well talk to Wan Lao and give them a chance to meet.

Baozhu went to talk to Doctor Fang, and went to Wang's house with Wang Xi.

Wan Lao lived alone in a garden in Wang's house, and there was no servant girl to serve him on weekdays. He was the only one, and Baozhu went to find Wan Lao after talking to Wang Gong.Now only Wang Xi knew about her relationship with His Highness, and the others did not.

In the past, Wanlao's garden knocked on the door, and Wanlao said, "Come in."

Baozhu went in, and when Lao Wan saw her, he waved to her and said with a smile, "Come on, let me play two more games with the old man."

Baozhu cried, "Wan Lao, I always lose to you, it's boring."

Wan Lao smiled and said, "I think it's interesting, so come and sit down."

Baozhu had no choice but to sit down and play two games with Wan Lao.

Needless to say, it was naturally Wan Lao who won, and it was almost noon at this time, Wan Lao put away the chessboard and said, "Why did you come here specially to find the old man today?"

Baozhu sat up straight, and said respectfully, "I really came to see Lao Wan to ask for something."

"Tell me about it." Wan Lao said, "If I can help you, I will definitely help you."

Baozhu was a little embarrassed, "Actually, it's not for me, it's for another person. Wanlao, to be honest, I also know the person who came to the mansion to see Wanlao a few days ago. It's my cousin. I just hope Wanlao can see you." His side."

"You mean the King of Shu?" Wan Lao's smile was restrained a bit, and his expression was a bit playful, "You are really his cousin."

Baozhu hesitated, not knowing how to speak.

Wan Lao said, "You are the princess. I recognized you as a girl before, but I never thought that you would be the princess."

"Wan Lao..." Baozhu was startled, "How did you see that?"

Wan Lao smiled and said, "I've lived for decades, if you don't even have this ability, then you don't have to live anymore."

Baozhu was ashamed, "I asked Wan Lao to forgive me for hiding it from Wan Lao before, but I have no choice but to come to the south of the Yangtze River and disguise myself as a man."

Wan Lao nodded and asked, "Why do you want to help the King of Shu?"

Why help him?Baozhu thought, there is no reason, she just wanted to help him and didn't want to see him suffer because of this matter.

Baozhu is telling the truth.

"It's rare that you have such a heart." Wan Lao said, "Since you have begged me to come, I will naturally meet him, but I will not give you any other promises."

Bao Zhu happily said, "Thank you Wan Lao, this is enough." As long as His Highness meets Wan Lao, I believe His Highness will take care of the rest.

After Baozhu went back, he didn't tell the king of Shu about it. Early the next morning, the king of Shu went to Wang's house again, and he didn't return home until Baozhu came back from the medicine hall.After Baozhu fell asleep, in the middle of the night, she felt in a daze that someone was hugging her.

Baozhu turned over, hugged his waist, and said confusedly, "Your Highness, are you back?"

Zhao Chen grunted, and hugged her even tighter.

Baozhu fell asleep again, and the men behind her began to kiss her densely.

Early the next morning, when the two were eating, Zhao Chen had a smile on his brows, and Bao Zhu asked with a smile, "Has your Highness's matter been settled?"

Zhao Chenen said, "It's all settled, Mr. Wan decided to leave with me."

Baozhu felt relieved, "Congratulations, Your Highness."

Zhao Chen took a deep look at her, reached out to hold her tender hand, "I know you recommended me, Baozhu, thank you."

Baozhu said jokingly, "Then, will your Highness promise me a condition?"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Don't say one, agree with many of them. You say it."

"Your Highness, I haven't made up my mind yet." She just thought so for a while, and said it casually, and she didn't have anything to ask for, "Then I will tell Your Highness after I have made up my mind, okay?"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Okay."

Since Zhao Chen persuaded Wan Lao to help him, he was about to leave Jiangnan. Early the next morning, he took Shu Li and Wan Lao to leave, and when he left, he was reluctant to give up Baozhu.

When Zhao Chen left, he also said a few words to the four guards, telling them that the princess must not go back to Luling during these days.The Empress Dowager and the Emperor seem to have noticed what he did, and they are afraid that they will take action against Baozhu, and he is planning to do so, it will be safer for Baozhu to stay in the south of the Yangtze River these days.

The days gradually settled down, and it was March in a blink of an eye, and the weather in Jiangnan was getting warmer and warmer.

She didn't feel cold this winter, and she didn't even wear a cloak.

Baozhu works in the pharmacy during the day, and never hides it privately. She will give all her medicines to Dr. Fang and his apprentices. Now Dr. Fang's medical skills have also been greatly improved.

In the evening, she will go to the bazaar or the night market.

There has been no news from His Highness since he left in mid-January.

Baozhu misses him a little bit, and also misses the Rong family a little bit. It has been a long time since she heard from the Rong family, and she doesn't know what happened to them.

Baozhu has always felt a little uneasy these days, and she doesn't know why.

At the end of the day, the pharmacy was closed, and Baozhu went to the night market again, picked a wonton stall, and planned to eat some wontons.

Sitting next to them were two men in their [-]s and [-]s, dressed as if they were traveling all over the world to do business.

Baozhu didn't care, and started eating the wontons after they were served.The two people next to me were chatting, and one of them said, "I heard that something big happened in the capital recently."

Another person asked, "What's the big deal? The capital city is a month away from here. How did you know that?"

The man chuckled, "Of course I know, and you also know that my elder brother travels all over the world to do business. He just went to the capital a few days ago. When he went, the city was full of troubles. He came back two days ago. Just told me, and now this matter has not been spread to other places, and I am the only one who knows about it."

"Hey, don't be foolish, just tell me what's going on."

That person whispered next to the other person's ear, "It's something happened to the Rong's family in the Duke's Mansion of Jingcheng Town."

Bao Zhu didn't care when she heard the two talking just now, accidents happen almost every day in the capital, where there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, ups and downs, she just intends to listen to it as a gossip.How did he know that this was about to go to Rong's house all of a sudden, his brain exploded with a bang, his hands began to shake, and the chopsticks in his hands couldn't be held firmly, and they fell directly on the table.

Her complexion was pale, and her eyes were also a little dark.Baozhu secretly warned herself not to think about it, the Rong family was fine in her previous life at this time, there was nothing serious about it, I'm afraid it wasn't a big deal.

"When my eldest brother went to the capital, the Rong family was in a frightening situation. I heard that the Rong family was ransacked."

Baozhu stood up abruptly and knocked down the stool with a bang.

The Rong family was ransacked?how is this possible?How can the house be ransacked if you are doing well, unless you have committed a very serious thing, but the Rong family has always divided their duties and never did anything out of line. There are several cousins ​​who are in the officialdom, and it is not easy for others to slander them, could it be...

Baozhu felt her heart beating like thunder, could it be that the emperor moved the Rong family?But why?

Now... what happened to the Rong family now?

The man continued, "I heard that many good things were confiscated from the Rong family. It is said that all the Rong family were dispatched to work as coolies at the border. Sigh, it's really miserable. Such a big family will collapse as soon as it is said."

Baozhu stood up, with a pale face, staggered to the side of the man, and grabbed his sleeve fiercely.Noticing something wrong, he hurriedly let go, and stood there and firmly grasped the edge of the table, "This... this big brother, please... May I ask if what you said is true?"

Ma Long followed Baozhu today, he followed and said worriedly, "Master?"

Baozhu waved her hand carelessly, signaling him not to speak.

The gossiper looked at Baozhu inexplicably, "What does this have to do with you? What are you asking about?"

Baozhu was about to cry, her eyes were red, "Brother, just tell me, I... my younger sister married into the Rong family, I'm really worried."

The man's eyes turned from being puzzled to sympathetic, "Hey, I won't lie to you, something happened to the Rong family, such a big family copied it as soon as it said it, and the emperor is really powerful. I heard that many of the Rong family's in-laws are from aristocratic families. Yes, none of this can help, I just watched Rong's family being raided."

Baozhu clenched her fists tightly, her nails had already sunk into her palms, "Why...why? Why did the emperor steal the Rong family?"

"I heard that they were selling private salt, and the amount was quite large, so the emperor ransacked the Rong family in a fit of anger."
