Chapter 50: The Old Man Is Faintly Invisible
Xue Pan was sad for a while because of the lack of Liu Xianglian, and heard Nie Qing say that Liu Xianglian was sent to the capital by his master, so he went to all the temples in the capital to look for it, but he didn't see anyone. The sixth sister has been obsessed with shadow puppetry recently, and she always pulls Nie Qing to watch, Nie Qing always finds some reason to shirk, he wants to find Qingwen in his heart, but as soon as he enters the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and he can see it casually. But when he found a way for him, it was Baoyu's little maid Mingyan. So he always went to find Mingyan and brought him some novelties, and the two of them became very friendly.
On this day, Nie Qing deliberately wore a new dress, and waited for Mingyan at the back door of Jiafu, Mingyan smiled: Brother has said many times, this time I am worthy of my mission and will make an appointment with you.
Nie Qing was overjoyed and hurriedly asked where it was.
Mingyan smiled: You go to a garment shop on the west side of the street called Ming Pudao, she accompanied Ping'er Mandarin Ducks to buy thread today, and after a while, you saw a carriage in the backyard that came to pick them up.
Nie Qing was very happy, waiting outside the backyard wall, and sure enough, he saw a carriage arrived in the backyard of Jiafu, and he was happy, but he saw Xue Pan and another person getting down from the carriage, Nie Qing saw at a glance that the woman was dressed as a man, only to see these two people get out of the carriage and flash in from a small door in the backyard, Xue Pan looked around, and then pulled the disguised woman in.
Nie Qing was very curious, thinking that this stupid overlord would also have something important to keep so secret, so he tiptoed over the wall, but saw that the woman entered the courtyard, and Nie Qing hurriedly entered the hospital and hid outside the window. But seeing a woman in the hall doing needlework there, Xue Pan went in and called his sister, thinking that this nerd is so stupid, but her sister looks so talented. The woman in disguise took off her cloak and saluted Baochai.
Nie Qing didn't dare to make a mistake, so he lowered his head and hid and listened quietly.
But I heard the woman crying: "Sister, I didn't plan to come to you, but that day I accompanied my aunt to the pharmacy, and the guy I really saw was him, but he just didn't know me, I think my sister can remember his appearance, so I came to ask my sister to recognize him." ”
"Ying'er said he was dead, how can you see the living."
"He has a special face, and it shouldn't be difficult to recognize him."
Baochai said indifferently: "Since you are hiding in your uncle's house, what you are afraid of is that you will be implicated in each other, if you really see that person, if you are found alive, it will be a big deal." I think my sister still accepts this heart, and there are many similar people in the world, so it's better not to bother yourself. ”
"Since you're here, I really want something from my sister." So he told Wang Yuehe about his participation in the draft.
"I participated in the draft for you back then, and now my name has been reported, if it is recognized by the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be very dangerous, and I now also ask my sister to save me."
Baochai knelt down, Wang Yue hurriedly held on, "How dare I dare to say that my sister made this big gift, it turned out that you helped me, I can't refuse, but I have a wish, if you go to recognize it with me, if that person is not him, I will go to the palace for the draft." With my qualifications, I may not be able to choose, but my uncle was transferred out of Beijing, and I came out quietly, and my brother had to help me explain it to my aunt.
lest she be worried."
Baochai laughed: "You don't tell your aunt when you come out of the house, my brother will naturally help you explain this matter, and say that you will come to me to live here for a few days." It's just that if my sister is really chosen, it is really a matter of honoring the ancestors. ”
I don't expect this, it doesn't matter to me whether I choose it or not, it's better not to choose, otherwise I will have to worry about it all the year round.
"So you pretend that I will live here for a few days, and I will choose for me, and I will let Ying'er serve you, so naturally no one will be suspicious. And one of your benefactors is there. She went to the retest with you, and I had to make it clear to her about this, and you could rest assured that she would protect you.
That sister can help me find out.
It's only for a few days that I'm going to help you identify that person. "My brother takes care of you outside. Sister rest assured.
Baochai saluted and asked Ying'er to go out to pick up Daiyu, and Nie Qing saw Ying'er come out and hurriedly hid.
The person brought by Xue Pan is Baochai's cousin Wang Yue, Wang Yue and Baochai at this time are somewhat similar, but because her father is a military general, the family's very attainments in weapons make her seem to have a rational manner.
Ying'er invited Daiyu over, Xue Pan saw Daiyu and remembered what happened when she was a child, but felt that Daiyu became more and more charming and pretty, and almost froze again, Baochai pushed him out, pulled Wang Yue and saluted Daiyu, Daiyu held her up: "My sister has not yet come to the day of worship, how can the little couple worship me like this?" Baochai saw that Wang Yue was still wearing men's clothes, dressed as a small guy.
Wang Yue hurriedly dissolved his hair and laughed: I'm not a son, I'm reluctant to shave my hair, it's not so easy to pretend to be a man now.
When Daiyu saw Wang Yue, she slowly recognized it and was very happy, "I saw that you were a girl, but I didn't expect that you were still a sister when I was young." ”
Wang Yue didn't expect that Daiyu and Baochai had been together all the time, and said happily, "I knew that my sisters were here, so how could I be with you." ”
Baochai said: "Our sister does have something to ask you. "Will be a qiē confession.
Daiyu frowned and said, "This thing may not be appropriate, if Sister Yue is chosen, she will have to hide her identity for the rest of her life, but I am afraid that it may not be possible, I am afraid that it will be dangerous." ”
Baochai said: "So I beg you to protect my sister when you are together." ”
Daiyu sighed: "Don't worry, I don't want to be selected, we all have to enter the palace as candidates the day after tomorrow, I am only afraid of many things tomorrow, and my sister will also prepare today." ”
Daiyu then asked Zijuan to bring the things at home, Zijuan dressed Wang Yue carefully, this dress, everyone was relieved, Zijuan used some cow glue to make a thin mold, and carefully did some flaws, so that it looked almost exactly the same as Baochai, they let Wang Yue sit in the room, and asked Ying'er to come over and pour tea, Ying'er came in and saw Baochai, puzzled: Miss Lin and Sister Yue left?
Wang Yue chuckled and said, "It's not like you're leaving," and even learned to speak together. Ying'er wondered, "What is so funny about you when they leave, you are strangely happy today." It's going to be a draft the day after tomorrow, you look at your determined look, you should always find a way to come out, and I didn't worry to death.
Wang Yuedao: Sister Lin has a unique skill called the disguise technique, which taught her the purple cuckoo at home. Shall I use it and let you do it for me?
Zijuan behind the screen laughed and said that you are not like this, Miss Bao calls me and the girl always calls her sister, and you have to call your sister. The three of them came out together, and Ying'er was so frightened that she said that she was playing, and she didn't tell me.
Baochai smiled: You only said that it doesn't look like it.
Ying'er said: I can't tell the difference, naturally there is no problem, Miss Biao is not like talking at all.
Daiyu laughed: As long as you don't keep quiet tomorrow, it doesn't hurt to say it during the election, who knows what you say. If everything is pretentious, it is not good.
So everyone discussed how to do it. Wait to enter the palace the day after tomorrow.
While she was talking, a little girl had already come to report, saying that the girl Zijuan was going to go, and the second sister-in-law of Lian had come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Ying'er took Wang Yue into the inner room, Daiyu said goodbye, and came back with Zijuan, but it was Princess Jianning who came and played pai gow with a few little girls in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Daiyu saw that she was having a good time, and motioned to the little girls not to call her, Jianning was losing money, and she didn't bring any money, so she had to owe it. Xue Yan didn't follow, saying that you have to owe, and you have to ask for interest when you pay it back, Jian Ning smiled: You are too much more cute and rich than your girl. Daiyu hurriedly asked to send the money over, and when they saw Daiyu, they all stopped, and Jian Ning smiled: I still have a circle here, Miss Lin wants to try her luck.
Daiyu smiled: If I play this, all the money in this house will have to be given to me.
Xue Yan smiled: My girl watched the old lady and the few of them play cards and helped them make moves, and the old lady made a lot of money, so the old lady didn't let her play. I'm afraid she'll win.
Jian Ning didn't believe it, and said let's fight a wind, if you win, I promise you to make a request, if you don't win, if you have time to play this with me in the future, I will naturally let the car pick you up.
Daiyu smiled and said Then I really won't let you, Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun came in, and said that this is so good Yaxing, we originally pulled you to the poetry club, why did Miss Lin also play this, let's make it up.
So the table was restarted, let Baoyu be the referee, Baoyu said: Sister Lin to play cards, all the cards have to be turned over, let a few little girls shuffle the cards, everyone does not believe, I want to try, the card is just good, Daiyu actually smiled and took five cards from each side of the report again, turn it over to see that it is so, everyone said how to play. Sure enough, after a round of play, either her own cards were Hu first, or everyone Hu was there with her, holding the cards of each family and smiling and not talking. Immediately the silver in front of him was piled up.
Jianning lost his chips, but saw Sister Feng laughing there, saying what is the matter, leaving a little Bao father-in-law with us, and playing this by himself. It turned out that Xiaobao went to play with Jia Lian's little guys, but seeing that he hadn't come here, he was not very relieved, so he asked Sister Feng to come and look for it. Everyone knows that Sister Feng is a clever player, and she was busy letting her replace Shi Xiangyun, Zijuan took the opportunity to give Sister Feng a look, and let Jianning Hu Hu twice, Daiyu saw her coming, and deliberately ordered a few shots indiscriminately, saying that the second sister-in-law is really powerful. A few people will talk in the room, and the little girls continue to play.
Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun were overjoyed, saying that the eldest sister-in-law originally asked us to invite Miss Lin to look for you together and let you participate in tomorrow's gathering of our poetry club, but it happened that you were here.
Jian Ning smiled: What kind of party, I will also participate in one.
The princess is coming, tomorrow must be a little early, tomorrow there are kite flying, swinging, fishing, rowing, playing the piano, writing poetry, archery and many other items, each of which takes one or two powerful ones, the girls have to participate, and there is only dinner when it is late.
Jianning even forgot his intention, and came back with Xiaobao, but saw King Beijing waiting for news there, this time he patted his forehead, and said that he only knew how to play, and he really forgot to ask, and he went tomorrow, King Beijing said: Or you let me go too.
How do you go, you can pretend to be a woman.
It's good for me to pretend to be your slave.
Jian Ning smiled: How can I have such a tall, mighty and rude palace maid as you. King Beijing said, you wait for me to pretend to talk.
And Baochai here has quietly arrived at the pharmacy, and when he saw the person busy up and down in the pharmacy, it was not Duan Chuanxiu. It's just that he hurt his leg and was limping, but the hidden sharpness of that demeanor is not who he is. Baochai was short of breath, her body was weak, her heart was beating wildly, and she was about to go up to speak, but she saw a woman come out with a dustpan and greet Duan Chuanxiu with a smile, and a three- or four-year-old boy pulled Duan Chuanxiu and called him Daddy. Baochai panicked and hurriedly lowered the curtain of the carriage. I couldn't remember what to do for a while, and the coachman was strange, and I said girl, do you get out of the car or not. Baochai then opened the curtain, but there was no Duan Chuanxiu there, only the woman and his child.
Behind her carriage, Nie Qing stared quietly. Qingwen, who was buying a line in Ming Preaching, saw Nie Qing, stood still, and slapped him behind his back with a fan, "This person, so attentive, who is he staring at?" Nie Qing was startled, this time when she saw Qingwen, Fang remembered her original intention today, and laughed.
It turned out that Qingwen was greedy for fun, so she let Mandarin Duck Ping'er go first and wander around the street by herself. was about to go back, but saw Nie Qing, the two of them didn't have time to speak, but they saw a few officers and soldiers like wolves and tigers, and arrested the boss of Ming Preaching.
