Baochai shook his head and said in a milky voice: "I have it at home, but I haven't worn it." Aunt Xue hurriedly explained it to her: "There are several longevity locks at home, all of which were given by everyone, and I also gave her one, but she was too heavy and didn't want to wear it, so she let her go." ”

Xifeng immediately asked Qing'er to fetch the pair of Ruyi Xiangyun Baifu locks that she cherished very much, and took them out and put them in front of Baochai's eyes: "This pair of Ruyi Xiangyun Baifu locks, the only pair in the world, is not only good-looking, but also very delicate, it is hollow out, so it is very light." I've always cherished it, reluctant to wear it, my sister likes it? Is it good to give my sister a wear? ”

Such a beautiful little cousin, it's best not to be tied to Jia Baoyu because of a broken gold lock, even if Jia Baoyu is her cousin. In Xifeng's opinion, Jia Baoyu is too fraternal, he likes all beautiful girls, and his private life is also very chaotic, and he is not responsible, even if his character has a little bit of brilliance, but in the comparison of those shortcomings, it is completely negligible. Baochai will polish his eyes a little in the future and find a husband, it should be no worse than marrying Jia Baoyu, by the way, everyone is still close relatives!

Baochai seemed to be a little puzzled, but seeing that the Ruyi Xiangyun Baifu lock was indeed beautiful and exquisite, and heard her uncle Lin Shi say, "If the Bao girl doesn't like it, I'll let someone do it for you when I turn around", Baochai picked a gold lock with a Ruyi Xiangyun pattern, leaving a jade lock with the word Ruyi Baifu. Xifeng asked Qing'er to put away the small lock and help Baochai put on the one she picked: "Does my sister like it?" ”

Baochai touched the little golden lock, nodded and smiled. Xifeng squinted her eyes and smiled: "That sister is willing to wear it all the time, if someone else gives you any gold lock in the future, you shouldn't think that others give it well, so you won't wear what your sister gave you." ”

Baochai thought about it and shook her head: "This is very good, thank you sister." "This pair of Ruyi Baifu locks is no bigger than half a baby's palm, and it is hollowed out in the middle, which is very lightweight, and the pattern is very beautiful, in line with the aesthetics of Baochai, and the intention is very good.

After Baochai was sensible, he always thought that Xifeng was pitying her when she was sick, so she took out her beloved things and gave them to her to help press it, so she had a good impression of Xifeng, and cherished the wishful auspicious cloud lock very much, and always wore it closely. The strange thing is that Baochai is more than half younger than before after the onset of the disease this winter, so Baochai cherishes the lock more.

Xifeng thinks that she has made efforts and made a good start for Baochai. If this little cousin had to wear the golden lock designed by the leper monk in the future and go to Jiafu to have a "golden and jade relationship" with Baoyu, then her words today would only be a joke.

Let's say that since the Xue family's mother and daughter left on this day, Xifeng still practiced martial arts every morning and evening, and then followed the Lin family to learn housekeeping, and then practiced calligraphy, and was occasionally taken out by her to socialize. When Baochai became ill in winter, Xifeng also followed the Lin family to visit Xue Mansion a few times, but he had never seen Xue Pan.

At first, it was because he hadn't come back yet, but then he didn't touch his family when he came back, and he was like a wild horse at a young age. Lin persuaded the wife of the Xue family twice, but the mother couldn't control it and couldn't bear to detain her son, Lin later mentioned it to Wang Ziteng, but Wang Ziteng was busy every day and couldn't discipline Xue Pan in the near future.

As soon as Xifeng inquired, he learned that the sky had been turned upside down in the capital, and the prince and the righteous king were fighting so hard that they almost turned the sky upside down. Seeing that the old emperor was dying of illness, King Yi decided to force the palace. But the righteous king is scheming and very incomparable. He first used the details that the prince had placed beside him to deliver news to the prince that he was going to rebel, and then made a look of recruiting troops.

It took a lot of effort for the prince to find out the date of the righteous king's action, and privately transferred troops to the palace gate to prepare an ambush in advance, and when the righteous king's men arrived, he would take him down in one fell swoop. Who would have thought that the righteous king would hold high the banner of "escort" in front of the palace gate and buckle the basin of "rebellion" on the prince's head.

The prince has been the prince for more than 20 years, and now he is not confused, and he has long wanted to be the real master of the country, but he has never made up his mind to really rebel. After all, not every prince has the courage to force the palace to rebel. Now that he has been detained by King Yi, and has been persuaded by the people around him a few times, the prince has thought that his father has been seriously ill for a long time, and he would rather rebel than let the throne fall into the hands of King Yi. Relying on his own more men and horses than King Yi, the prince directly took out half of his troops and drove to Taiji Palace to force his father to abdicate.

Fortunately, although the old emperor was ill most of the time this year, his control over the court in secret has not weakened. Those civil and military attachés who finally gave him were all in key positions, defending the imperial power at critical moments, and protecting the old emperor's bedroom like an iron bucket. The crown prince and the righteous king not only did not get the benefits, but they were also put under house arrest, and they were thrown into the Zongren Mansion together a few days later.

And the other princes were also affected by the anger of the old emperor, and they all stopped their errands and were placed under house arrest in the palace for more than a month, and only released them when the old emperor was angry, and then the table xiàn continued to lead the errand, and the table xiàn sat on the cold bench. It's just that the Seventh Prince is very different, and others are afraid of upsetting the old emperor at this time, but when the Seventh Prince met the emperor, he pleaded for the eldest brother King Yi and the crown prince on the grounds of "flesh and blood", and his words were sincere and made people cry.

What is regrettable is that the true feelings of the seven kings were not praised by the old emperor, and the emperor was angry and directly kicked him back to the palace to think about it. The Seventh Prince became the laughing stock of the Manchu Dynasty in this way, just like the prince Teng at that time was kicked to Jinling.

The situation in the court is changing, and Jinling, which is thousands of miles away, is naturally affected, and the court is about to experience a reshuffle from top to bottom. Wang Ziteng is now loyal to the court and the emperor, and he has to sit well as the parents of the people of Jinling, so he is busy every day without touching the ground.

If it were just these two things, Jinling was still the only city still open to foreign businessmen. Because of the chaos in the court, the old emperor was moody, and he was so angry that foreign businessmen were subjected to the central government, not to mention going deep into the interior to do pen trading and making a lot of money, that is, whether he could stay in Jinling. Prince Teng knew the importance of trade better than others because his ancestors had dealt with overseas countries, so he arranged for those merchants to stay for the time being, and when the emperor had lost his anger, everyone would do business.

Xifeng and Wang You couldn't see Wang Ziteng for many days, and they didn't dare to disturb them, so they could only practice martial arts in the backyard. I only hope that their sensibility can make Wang Ziteng's heart feel a little relieved.

On this day, Wang Ziteng finally came to the backyard to dine with them. The banquet is sumptuous but not extravagant, and each is a delicate dish. Wang Ziteng personally opened a hairy crab for Xifeng, and then said with a smile: "This is a hairy crab in Yangzhou, Lin Xundao's wife asked her nephew to come over this morning." Seeing that Xifeng had eaten two bites, Wang Ziteng asked again: "How does it taste?" ”

"Excellent, but why did Mrs. Lin send us something? Isn't her nephew my cousin? Why didn't you see him come to see his aunt when he came? "Xifeng Nahan, Jia Min and Jia Zhu are singing, which play?

Lin said with a smile: "Mrs. Lin is not only your cousin's nephew, she was sent by the person named Jia Lian from the big house of Rongguo Mansion. I only saw your uncle in the study and left. Xifeng didn't know that her aunt and Jia Minyin were both a little bookish, like-minded, and had compatible personalities, and they had correspondence since they met in Yangzhou. After coming and going, Jia Min had something, and he was thinking about the Lin family. Yangzhou is not far from Jinling, and it will be there in most of the day.

"Speaking of which, the pardon master in the big house was still friends with your father, and I also saw his son when he was a child, but he was not as handsome as he is now. I haven't seen him for seven or eight years, but he has been reborn, and he acts and speaks neatly, not like his father. "When I saw Jia Lian's image today, he was not only graceful in appearance, but also positive in spirit, and he did not have any disrespect for Wang Ziteng because he hated Mrs. Wang, on the contrary, he euphemistically expressed his admiration for Wang Ziteng, and won Wang Ziteng's appreciation.

"This crab tastes good." Xifeng didn't mean to answer at all, whether he was the son of Wang Xifeng's father or friend, and he didn't have anything to do with her! The uncle looked at her, didn't she know that her father and Jia Yu wanted to marry back then? She didn't want to hear anything about Jia Lian. Seeing that she didn't answer at all, Wang Ziteng smiled and changed the topic to talk about other things.
