Outside the city, in a nunnery with medium incense burning, there is an independent Zen monastery, which looks nothing special from the outside, but if someone can walk into it, they can find that there is a hole inside.

The delicate and elegant room arrangement, the gorgeous and unusual decoration, in particular, is not a bald or hooded nun, but a woman with flowing hair, a slender body, and a beautiful appearance, like a pure and immaculate fairy.

She gently put down the delicate crystal rosary, picked up a square invitation card placed by the maid next to her, and unfolded it to read it.

"Rongguo Mansion......"

The woman closed the invitation, slightly lost in thought.

From now on, she entered Beijing with her master, took a boat from Suzhou, and went all the way north.

When there is a flood in Shandong, there is a wailing all over the field.

Although she had the heart to help, she couldn't find it, and she was too lazy to interact with the local dirty officials, so that although she had surplus wealth, she didn't give out a copper coin and got rid of one person.

She was indifferent on her face and did not seek flexibility, but in her heart she was really a little ashamed of the Buddha.

Fortunately, the Shandong relief at that time made the disaster relief powerful, and won the love of the people of Shandong, and everyone praised the place where the boat passed.

She'd heard about it, too.

It is rumored that the relief envoy is very young, but he is very skilled, and he is the most famous young talent in the capital!

After hearing a lot of such words, I naturally knew a little more about this person, so I knew that he was born in the Rongguo Mansion in the capital.

She didn't expect that she would receive an invitation from Rongguo Mansion.

"It's time to get out of here."

Kutsui-an, listening to the name is a good place.

Originally, she lived in this Muni Monastery, just because the Muni Monastery presided over and had a relationship with her master who was sitting in meditation. Now that her master is gone, although the host didn't say anything, the nuns in the courtyard were very resistant to her maverick behavior, which was very different from ordinary female nuns.

She was planning to leave the place and find another place to live.

At this moment, receiving such an invitation, and it happens to be that person's mansion, the coincidence of things in the world is really touching.

Buddhism never says anything about coincidences, and the so-called coincidences are all fate.

On the other hand, her master's last words said that she was destined to live in Beijing for a long time, and there would be a period of creation in the future.

Thinking about it like this, she no longer hesitated, and immediately asked the waiter to salute, and asked the mother-in-law to go to the host to resign, get ready, and wait for the Jia family car and horse of Rongguo Mansion to pick up, and then go to the cui nunnery to practice.

……

"What, the eldest prince sent someone to his aunt's house and asked for 100,000 taels of silver?"

In Mrs. Wang's house, Jia Baoyu's face was surprised, almost in disbelief.

Aunt Xue lamented: "No, they asked me to raise 100,000 taels to send to Xi'an Gate before Shen Shi in the afternoon, saying that if I didn't send it when the time came, they would take Pan'er's life......"

Jia Baoyu's face was so wonderful that they were all silent.

Aunt Xue thought that Jia Baoyu was suspicious, and said: "Originally, I was also worried that he was not from the Great Prince's Mansion, but as soon as he came to have no fear, after the two left, I asked people to follow his carriage and saw him enter the imperial city with my own eyes."

I think that a place like the Imperial City should be accessible to everyone, and it should not be wrong. ”

Jia Baoyu nodded: "Since they asked to send the silver to Xi'an Gate instead of elsewhere, they can't be wrong."

In the imperial city, apart from the eldest prince, I really can't think of anyone who has such the audacity to dare to blatantly extort and extort! ”

Jia Baoyu felt speechless.

The emotional prince has been making trouble for a long time, but it's not for revenge? But you fell in love with the Xue family's silver?

Hehe, Jia Baoyu doesn't know whether to laugh or be angry!

The eldest prince does things absurdly, and Jia Baoyu has already understood it without rules.

The incident of Li Ling's brother and sister is proof of this.

He thought that this time the eldest prince was retaliating again, but he didn't expect that it was not even this, but a lack of silver?

In the past few days, he has been on fire and tried his best to deal with it, but when he looked back, he found that what people were going to play was not Go at all, but backgammon......

The eldest prince once again refreshed Jia Baoyu's perception of ignorance and fearlessness.

No wonder there are so many ministers in the imperial court, and the people who support them openly and secretly are all second princes, it is really - a world of difference!

Mrs. Wang said: "Baoyu, you have seen this eldest prince, what kind of person is he, if your aunt gives him silver, he may let you Brother Xue go?" ”

"Yes...... But what my wife asked, I really can't answer, the eldest prince is very ridiculous, he thinks he is smart, and his actions are really impossible for my son to guess. ”

Mrs. Wang sighed when she heard this, yes, she has lived for more than 40 years, and it is the first time she has heard of such a ridiculous thing? If it weren't for her sister's personal confession, she wouldn't have believed it.

At this time, in addition to Mrs. Wang's two sisters, there was also Xue Baochai in the house.

Baochai glanced at Jia Baoyu and said, "I don't know what Brother Bao thinks, what should we do now, Brother Ming'er is about to open a court for interrogation......"

Jia Baoyu thought for a while: "I don't think there is any need to send the silver, with the great prince's character, even if he receives the silver, he may not be willing to let go of Brother Xue......"

"But if you don't send it, if you anger him, won't your Brother Xue suffer more?" Aunt Xue hurriedly said.

Jia Baoyu thought about it and didn't tell the clues he found. Although the three women here are not confused, but the so-called unconfidential things will be harmful, and there is too much hope before the thing is done, if it fails in the end, that kind of disappointment will make people lose their minds, Jia Baoyu doesn't want to help until the end but is complained.

"In that case, let's send it over. The so-called taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others always has some effect......

Moreover, the eldest prince acted so unscrupulously, and if it was spread out, it would definitely attract the jealousy of the high-ranking mansions in Beijing. The so-called many injustices will kill oneself, and the 100,000 silver is not so easy to take. If the eldest prince thinks that everyone can let him fish and meat, he will taste the price in the end. ”

Jia Baoyu sneered.

There is no family in the capital that will allow a person who treats them as meat on the chopping board and cuts a piece if he wants to take the position.

No matter how the Xue family declines, it is also a descendant of the founding fathers, and it is a person who belongs to the elite class.

This is the so-called truth that things hurt their kind.

"Madam, I will carry 50,000 silver from our house and transport it to my aunt's house with great fanfare......

When Aunt Xue heard Jia Baoyu's words, she was very moved: "It's hard for Baoyu to have this heart, we have all the money, but we don't have the bottom in our hearts, so I came to your mother to discuss it, and I didn't want to raise money." ”

Jia Baoyu shook his head: "Not only in our house, but the wife can send someone to the Wang family to borrow silver, although the uncle is not at home, the rest of the Wang family can also."

There are other families who have a relationship with my aunt's family, you can borrow it, whether you can borrow it or not, and how much you can borrow......"

"Baoyu, you?"

In the end, she is a wealthy woman, even if she doesn't understand political struggle, but she has some understanding.

Aunt Xue was a little worried that it would anger the eldest prince and endanger Xue Pan's safety.

"Aunt, rest assured, even if you attack the eldest prince, it will be after Brother Xue's affairs.

Besides, in our family, there is no reason to be bullied and slaughtered, even if it is a prince.

Since he dared to stretch out his hand, he had to be conscious and ask if the silver was hot. ”

Jia Baoyu's words were loud, and in his words, he had never been afraid of the noble prince of Tianhuang. Baochai raised her head and stared at Jia Baoyu, she felt that such a man should be proud and ambitious.

Aunt Xue is right when she thinks about it, Xue Pan will have the result after tomorrow's interrogation, no matter what Jia Baoyu's plan is, it should have no impact.

As the party threatened by blackmail, it is impossible for Aunt Xue to say that there is no resentment in her heart.

"Baoyu, do you think that your eldest brother Xue Ming'er will be able to survive this?"

Aunt Xue looked at Jia Baoyu expectantly.

In her opinion, Jia Baoyu is the person close to the second prince, if he can't do anything, she can only accept her fate.

"Auntie, don't worry, Brother Xue will be fine."

……

In the study room of the second prince's mansion, the second prince was speechless for a while when he received Jia Baoyu's report letter, and then he added a touch of confidence in his heart.

How can such a stupid big brother ascend to Dabao and be the master of all peoples?

Almost without hesitation, the second prince wrote a letter by hand.

"Someone, give this letter to Lord Qian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites."
