In the Gude Place, before the former Yipin Pavilion Minister's Mansion.

Du Shirong helped his mother-in-law out of the corner gate.

Behind him, there were a dozen or so weeping men and women.

Some of them were his father's concubines, two were his unmarried sisters, and the others were faithful servants who were willing to follow them up to this day.

He was the only male in the family, and above him were seven older sisters.

Therefore, at home, he is also like Jia Baoyu, and even more unique "pearl in the palm".

It's a pity that all this will cease to exist from now on.

He couldn't help but look back and glance at the corner gate that had just been sealed by the officers and soldiers behind them as soon as they walked out.

Looking at the gate over there, there are also many officers and soldiers, also doing the same thing.

A burst of sadness crossed his heart, the pride he had used to be completely gone, and he didn't even dare to go up and disturb them a little.

Although the officers and soldiers did not insult them, they also inspected their entire body before going out, in order to prevent them from taking out even the slightest penny of property.

Therefore, they now have no money but a piece of clothing on their bodies.

Du Shirong, who has never worried about money and things, can't help but worry about the family's livelihood in the future at this time.

Looking around, what relatives dare to take them in and receive them now?

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of several carriages parked in the distance, and Du Shirong thought he was dazzled for a while.

Could it be that which sister came back to pick them up?

Also seeing this scene were the people behind him, their originally dead eyes showing a hint of expectation and hope.

Du Shirong and his grandmother glanced at each other and helped her walk forward slowly.

I didn't take two steps, and suddenly I saw a familiar fat figure jumping out of the carriage over there.

As if he was drunk, he jumped down and almost fell to the ground unsteadily, and after being held up by the person next to him, he didn't reason, and rushed straight to this side.

"Hahahaha, you guys are out, I've been waiting here for a long time, and I almost fell asleep......"

This thing didn't tell the truth, he was already asleep.

"Xue... Brother Xue, why are you here? ”

Du Shirong was very surprised and couldn't help but look back.

There was no movement.

Obviously, it wasn't his sister who came to pick them up, only Xue Pan came. This was a friend he used to look down on, vulgar and rude.

"Of course I'm here to pick you up! Bao Brothers...... No, no, no, it's King Jing, Lord Jing! King Jing said, your house was sealed, the family must have no place to settle for the time being, yesterday morning he came to me, asked me to find an elegant courtyard in the city, and buy it at any price.

He also specifically instructed me not to forget to come and pick you up today, no matter what.

Hey, hey, he's just not worried about my ability to do things, we're good brothers, how could I forget?

Let's go, let's go, let's settle your family first, and then let's find a place to talk......"

Xue Pan said as he went up and pulled Du Shirong as usual.

A thoughtful and thoughtful look like a good brother with unparalleled righteousness.

The only thing that damaged his glorious image was that on his somewhat fat face, those small eyes were very dishonest to the girls behind.

Du Shirong's two sisters hurriedly hid behind their respective mothers.

The women were slightly embarrassed, but showed no strange or dissatisfied.

Before leaving the house, they had wondered if there would be other relatives and friends outside to pick them up.

Now it seems that Mrs. is right.

Now those relatives and friends in their family, it's too late to avoid them, where will they take the initiative to get into trouble?

Their wife had already made the worst plan, which was to go to the house of the two sons-in-law first, no matter what, to get some entanglement first, and then take her brother to join his grandfather's family.

Let's not talk about whether I can get it, but I said that my wife's maiden family is in another province, and the road is far away, and there may be other changes on the way, even if I go in the end, it may not have a good result.

They don't want to go.

Now that they are all "blessed" in front of each other, my brother's former righteous friends came to pick them up, and they also arranged another courtyard for them to listen to the voice, and they naturally paid attention to it for a while.

So, don't say that people just look at it, it's ...... It's not a bad thing to be afraid.

Du Shirong didn't pay attention to Xue Pan's actions, he immediately said when he heard this: "King Jing...... I heard that the newly promoted King Jing is the Ziheng brothers? ”

Xue Pan turned his head and said with a smile: "That's, let me tell you, this matter is amazing, tsk, who would have thought before, Brother Bao turned out to be the grandson of the emperor!" I'm a good girl, what have we done before? can actually call the emperor and grandson brothers, and eat wine and watch prostitutes together...... cough cough cough, in short, this matter is a long story, I will tell you carefully when I go back, now let's send your wife and them to the other courtyard first, look, my carriage is ready for you. ”

Du Shirong temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart and glanced at his wife.

Mrs. Du is a woman who has seen the world, and she has already seen from Xue Pan's words and deeds and the carriage battle in front of her that this person is really helping them.

Therefore, when he saw Du Shirong coming over, he nodded to him first, and then said to Xue Pan: "Our prisoner's family members have been gratefully helped by the son, and I am grateful, and the concubine is a family member and salutes the son." ”

Saying that, Mrs. Du made a full salute.

"That, no need to be polite, no need to ......"

Xue Pan was a little embarrassed, it was the first time he was treated so politely by the wife of the official family, and he was a little at a loss, so he could only wave his hand again and again.

Seeing his mother's statement, Du Shirong also knew that their family urgently needed a place to stay, so he also bowed to Xue Pan and said: "Thank you Brother Xue for being so kind, Brother Xue's affection, Du will definitely repay it in the future......"

"Hehe, what's polite, haven't you helped me before?"

Xue Pan smiled.

Seeing that the Du family was embarrassed to step forward, he said to the left and right: "Why don't you take the wife and ladies and ladies into the car?" ”

The little servant of the Xue family stepped forward to respectfully invite.

Mrs. Du thanked her again, and then Fang obeyed the arrangement and got into the carriage one by one.

There was no doubt in her mind.

Now that they are in the Du family, is there anything else worth thinking about? No.

Rong'er's former friends are willing to help them, which is Rong'er's creation and their luck.

However, the King Jing in their mouths before didn't know what to do with Rong'er before......

……

Xue Pan did this with his heart.

After getting Jia Baoyu's explanation yesterday, he patted his chest and promised that he would do a good job, and then immediately sent people to inquire around, and finally bought a second-entry courtyard in the south of the city at a price one or two percent higher than the market price.

Although it is not luxurious, it is also quiet and elegant, comparable to the mansion of a medium-sized official family.

So when the Du family got out of the carriage and looked at the brand-new mansion in front of them, they were a little surprised and surprised.

The heart, which had been worried for several days, seemed to settle down all of a sudden.

Xue Pan also wanted to introduce the benefits of this house to the Du family, but Du Shirong couldn't wait, and pulled Xue Pan to ask him as soon as he entered the door.

So Xue Pan had to instruct a few maids and wives who had been arranged earlier, and asked them to take the Du family to recognize the door, and he took Du Shirong to the foyer to talk.

Before he could sit down, Du Shirong asked, "Does Brother Xue know how my father is now?" ”

When Xue Pan heard this, he sighed: "Uncle is miserable, he seems to be imprisoned in the prison now, I heard that ...... I asked Bao ...... King Jing, he said that his uncle would not be able to escape the death penalty. ”

Du Shirong's face was a little pale.

But at the same time, he seemed to understand what his father had said to him that day.

His father told him not to worry, saying that he would not die.

At the time, he didn't understand that this was the reason.

Ziheng turned out to be really King Jing!

Hope rose in his heart, so he grabbed Xue Pan's arm and asked with concern: "Where is Ziheng now, I want to meet him!" ”

Ziheng is the smartest and most benevolent, and now he is in that capacity, maybe he can save his father!

Xue Pan saw Du Shirong's thoughts, and he hurriedly shook his head: "Let's not say that you will definitely not see him today, because he has already led troops to Tiewang Mountain to greet the Emperor Taishang, so let's say that your father ......

He was the most powerful right-hand man by King Qi's side that day, and he was the one who fully supported King Qi, even if Prince Jing was the grandson of Emperor Taishang, he couldn't save your father.

This point, Prince Jing made it clear to me yesterday, and asked me to comfort you.

In fact, you must also understand that if it weren't for the help of the prince, your family would be ...... now."

Xue Pan rarely looked at Du Shirong with honest eyes.

In fact, he didn't expect to help Du Shirong, there were so many families in the capital this time, and many family members had some friendship with him......

His mother told him again and again not to get involved in those rights and wrongs!

He only came because Jia Baoyu asked him to come.

Because even if there is anything, in the end, it must be Jia Baoyu, the great god, who will not have anything to do with him, and he will naturally be happy to fight for righteousness.

But Du Shirong still wanted Jia Baoyu to save his father, even in Xue Pan's opinion, he was greedy.

Du Shirong's face was pale and pale.

How he didn't understand this.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he also knew that their Du family was the main culprit in the case of the second prince!

Now that they only ended up raiding their homes, without hurting anyone in their family, it was too light!

It is impossible to say that there is not a sufficient weight for someone to speak for his family.

Therefore, almost as soon as Xue Pan opened his mouth before, he understood the details.

However, people have extravagant expectations.

Since Jia Baoyu can save him and his family, perhaps, he can save his father!

He also knew that this might be insatiable...... But that's his father!

Now that I heard Xue Pan's words, I knew that Jia Baoyu had already spoken to Xue Pan before, obviously knowing that he would have this kind of thought, so I explained it early in the morning.

He is not a stupid person, in this case, if he is entangled again, he is afraid that his previous relationship will be buried by him.

Weakly slumped in his chair.

He knew that his father could not be saved, and their family could not escape the name of the criminal's family.

The Du family, there is no comeback......

Hehe, a comeback? How stupid you are!

In such a situation, it is already a blessing to be able to escape a life.

What's more, you can still get such a shelter.

Xue Pan also knew that Du Shirong was uncomfortable, so seeing him like this, it was difficult to say anything else.

After thinking about it, he took out a bag of silver and money tickets from his sleeve, put them in front of Du Shirong, and said, "Here is some silver, you take it to live first, you ...... Alas, don't say anything else, we are all brothers, your business is my business, and if there is anything in the future, just come to me......

You can rest well today, and we'll meet again another day. ”

Looking at the bulging money bag in front of him, Du Shirong's cheeks were a little embarrassed.

He was sixteen years old, and this was the first time he had felt charity.

It's very uncomfortable and depressing.

However, can he refuse?

No!

All the shops and houses of their family were seized by the imperial court, and they had no money, and they didn't even have the capital to survive.

After hesitating again and again, he suddenly lifted his chair, knelt down and bowed his head and said: "It is Du's luck to be able to meet Ziheng and Brother Xue in this life, please accept it!" ”

Xue Pan was shocked, and immediately grabbed Du Shirong, and said again and again: "What are you doing, what are you doing, you, you, you...... Hmph, you don't think of me as a brother at all?! ”

Xue Pan was a little angry.

He couldn't think too much, he just felt that Du Shirong knelt on him and looked down on him!

Du Shirong didn't insist anymore, got up and looked at Xue Pan's fat face, feeling so kind and handsome for the first time.

Didn't explain anything, again arched hands with him.

Xue Pan scolded him a few more words, and finally sighed: "Okay, I know you're in a bad mood now, and I won't stay longer, I'll leave first...... By the way, a few of the minions in the courtyard were bought with the help of outsiders, and the deed documents were sent to you when I went back, if you feel that it is not convenient, just send it away.

I'm gone......"

Seeing that Du Shirong wanted to send it, he immediately pushed it back.

Du Shirong did not disobey him, but just watched him go out of the gate and ride away with his family.

I was about to go to the backyard to see my wife and them, and suddenly I remembered, turned back to the house, and looked at the money bag lying quietly on the table.

After a moment's hesitation, he picked it up and opened it to take a look.

He was no stranger to money, and at a glance he could tell the amount of money inside.

Thinking about it again and those servant women in this courtyard, this trip alone will cost at least thousands of taels of silver.

For a while, his eyes were moist, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he couldn't speak.

……

On the avenue, Wu Quan said to his master with some worry: "Uncle, if you spend so much money for these irrelevant people, aren't you afraid that your wife will be angry if you know?" ”

Xue Pan glanced at him and looked proud: "You know a fart, uncle, I am doing this a serious and important matter, my wife knew it early on, and told me to handle it well!" ”

Wu Quan was surprised.

As Xue Pan's eldest follower, he naturally knew that Aunt Xue had restrictions on Xue Pan's spending, and his wife could allow the uncle to do such a laborious and costly thing, and it was not pleasing to him?

Xue Pan naturally wouldn't tell Xue Pan that when Aunt Xue heard that he was going to help the Du family, she was angry, but when he said that this was Jia Baoyu's confession to him, Aunt Xue immediately eased her expression and asked the root cause carefully.

When he knew that Jia Baoyu valued Du Shirong very much, he turned around and told him to handle this matter well, and he must not let Jia Baoyu be disappointed in him.

He wanted to say in his heart at the time, do you still have to explain this point, Mom?

Obediently, don't you know how those people in the capital treated us when we went out yesterday?

That's to offer us like a grandfather!

The purpose is just to ask him to help introduce Jia Baoyu......

Face is what he cares about the most, of course he has to take advantage of this opportunity to impress Jia Baoyu and value him even more in the future!

Therefore, he quietly added weight to Aunt Xue's instructions, the purpose was to turn back to Jia Baoyu and ask, so that he could confess.

Also, Jia Baoyu actually said yesterday morning that he would come out with the money to help the Du family, but what kind of person is Xue Pan? He refused in a thick voice, and said that Jia Baoyu looked down on him......

When Jia Baoyu smiled and stopped insisting, he was very complacent in his heart.

He is not lacking in heart, at the moment when everyone is looking for an opportunity to tie up with Jia Baoyu, he doesn't say that he will send silver to Jia Baoyu, and he can still ask Jia Baoyu to spend silver to do something for him?

Riding on the horse, I thought about this matter in my heart, and made sure that Jia Baoyu couldn't find the slightest mistake or omission, which was a good mood.

Humming a little song, Xue Pan hurried home slowly.

Next, it's how to persuade my mother to give her sister to Jia Baoyu.

He had already seen that his sister was Jia Baoyu wholeheartedly, and in this situation, if his mother didn't do it again, she would be a fool.

What is a concubine?

can be the concubine of Brother Bao now, then she is the princess!

In case the rumors outside are true, in the future, the girl will be a dignified concubine!

In that case, what am I?

Hey, hey, what about Uncle Guo, hahaha......
