Rongguo Mansion northeast, Xue family.

Aunt Xue and Baochai sat opposite each other, with hidden worries on their faces, and looked at the door of the room from time to time.

Suddenly, hearing the sound of people moving in the courtyard, Aunt Xue immediately stood up, came to the door of the room, and saw that it was Xue Pan who came back, and immediately asked in a loud voice: "How is it, what is the situation outside, can you inquire clearly?" ”

Xue Pan was panting, and his face was very excited. The fat body rushed straight to this side, and said in his mouth: "Oh mom, you don't know, it's really something big again!" ”

As he spoke, he had already entered the house, grabbed the bowl on the table, poured a bowl of tea, and poured it into his mouth.

Xu was too anxious and choked on some tea to his trachea, causing him to cough again and again.

Aunt Xue hurriedly went over to pat him on the back.

Baochai frowned and looked at him, and asked, "What's wrong, you tell us in detail!" ”

"I have inquired clearly, it is the prince of Hejian who controls the Northwest Army who rebelled, and he put the emperor and the emperor under house arrest in the autumn hunting ground, and he may bring troops to the capital at any time.

Now the whole city is under martial law, and you won't be allowed to leave the city at all! ”

Xue Pan's loud words made Aunt Xue and Baochai look horrified.

Immediately, Aunt Xue said suspiciously: "King Hejian...... Is that the father-in-law of the clan that your brother worshipped? ”

"Isn't it!"

Speaking of this, Xue Pan looked worried: "The difficulty is here, you said that our family has nothing to do with the anti-king, even if he rebels, it won't hinder our family's big things, but what about Brother Bao?"

He did worship under the door, and I heard that the prince was very good to him. I thought it was a good thing, but now it's okay, the prince rebelled, and I don't know if Brother Bao was involved...... Even if you don't get involved, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out in the future. ”

Xue Pan sighed again and again.

When Aunt Xue heard this, her face turned white.

Rebellion, from ancient times to the present, but anyone who has anything to do with this matter, which one is not a tragic end?

Although Baochai also had a worried face, her focus was a little different: "Then can you inquire about the situation in the autumn hunting ground, for example, where is Baoyu now, how is he?" ”

Xue Pan is very concerned about Baochai's sister, although Baochai and Jia Baoyu's affairs are well hidden, but Xue Pan knows how much his sister thinks.

Originally, he didn't object, and even had the intention of fulfilling her sister in his heart.

Brother Bao has a good character and is worthy of his sister.

But now, he had to think about it differently, so he said: "My good sister, how do I know where Brother Bao is now, you can send someone out to inquire and see who can go out to the city now?"

As far as I said before, I spent a lot of money to inquire from the yamen, and later checked with the brothers in several mansions, and the rebellion is certain.

Think about it, the king of Hejian is said to have no children, if he rebels, can he not bring his brother Bao?

Maybe Brother Bao is in the midst of the rebel army now......

If this is the case, the Jia family will definitely be unlucky, and I don't know if it will be connected with us!

According to me, my sister should not go back to the garden in the next few days, and stay at home, Nafu is not safe now. I'm going to go to the yamen everywhere these days to clear up the relationship, and no matter what, I will definitely protect you and your mother's thoughtful ......."

Xue Pan's face and eyes were full of determination.

On weekdays, you don't always say that I'm not promising, hmph, that's just that I haven't been used yet. Now that such a big event has happened, it's time for you to see what I'm capable of!

Not to mention, his appearance and words really made Aunt Xue feel extremely relieved for a while, so she removed most of the worries in her heart, and stroked Xue Pan's hand with emotion.

Xue Pan raised his head higher, and he couldn't help but see that there was no change on Baochai's face, and he didn't even look at him, he seemed to understand something, and turned his head and said: "Sister, don't think I'm not righteous enough, Brother Bao still has a life-saving grace for me, if that day comes, can I watch their family have an accident?" The reason why I didn't ask you to go back is also for your own good.

It doesn't matter what others do, even if you risk my life, I won't allow you to have anything to do with your mother......"

Baochai finally had a little surprise on his face, looked at him and said: "I understand what my brother meant, in this case, you go and inquire again, once there is important news, remember to come back and tell us." ”

Aunt Xue hesitated: "Now that it's so chaotic outside, won't it be safe for your brother to go out?" ”

"It doesn't have to be my brother to go out in person, just send out all the little guys in the family. At this time, it's always good to know more. Baochai said.

Aunt Xue nodded.

Seeing this, Xue Pan also got up and said, "Okay, then I'll go out and arrange someone now." ”

After saying that, he really went out.

After he left, Aunt Xue sat down slowly, glanced at Baochai, and sighed: "What your brother said is right, in the next few days, you will stay at home first." At home, your brother and I are protecting you......"

Baochai said: "Mother really thinks that something is going to happen in their house?" ”

Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't you believe what your brother said?" ”

Baochai shook his head: "I just think that things may not be as simple as this, Brother Bao......"

Baochai originally wanted to say that Jia Baoyu was not a stupid person and would not be so easily involved in rebellion.

Lin felt that it might not be good for her to stay away from Jia Baoyu in three sentences, so he changed his mind and said: "I heard that the king of Hejian is deeply trusted by the emperor, so how could he rebel?" Now there is such a rumor in the capital, but it is just because they don't know the situation outside.

Instead of worrying about speculation here, we might as well wait a few days. Perhaps, in a few days, the situation will naturally become clear, and the specific situation will be understood at that time.

As for their house......"

Baochai glanced at Aunt Xue and said eloquently: "It's not a self-contemptuous word, their family is the mansion of the Duke of China, not to mention anything else, in the foundation of this capital, they are much deeper than our family, if even their family can't resist this difficulty, how can our family be comprehensive?" Good

Therefore, the more this time, the more necessary it is to brainstorm and advance and retreat together, which is the proper method. ”

When Aunt Xue heard this, she said thoughtfully, "You mean, you'd better go back to the garden?" ”

"Yes, not only do I want to go back, but even my mother had better clean up and go into their house to see if there is any other news in their house.

Besides, my aunt has always treated us very well, and she must be very worried about Brother Bao at this time, so it is good for my mother to talk to her. ”

Aunt Xue said: "I also understand what you mean, but after all, this is a rebellion, and the slightest carelessness will be a disaster for the family......

"How does Mom know that the other party will fail?"

Baochai's sudden rhetorical question made Aunt Xue stunned, and she looked at Baochai blankly.

If the rebellion does not fail, can it still succeed?

In Aunt Xue's more than 30 years of Gengchen, her cognition of such words as rebellion and rebellion is deep-rooted.

was raided and killed, and the three and nine clans were killed......

In fact, it's not just her, most people in the world are almost like this.

She never thought that there was still a possibility of success in the rebellion?

"This ......"

Aunt Xue was speechless, even if she didn't have too much political sense, she knew that if the rebellion was successful, it would not be called rebellion, it would be called a change of dynasty!

"Has it come to this point?"

Aunt Xue asked.

Baochai shook his head: "I don't know, but my mother has also seen and heard the movements of the past two days, Captain Qiu of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, didn't he say that he had been killed, and even the people in that position said that they were dead, and other places don't know what happened."

As long as we don't move around, it is expected that it will not affect us for a while, so we can just wait and see what happens. ”

How does she know if she will succeed, and she still doesn't even know if someone is really rebelling and who is rebelling.

And most importantly......

"Brother Bao is deeply favored by the nobles in the palace, and he is also a general in the forbidden army, and he is also in the place where the incident occurred this time, Mom, please think about it, should he know more and more accurate than us?

At this time, we don't know anything, is it better to guess by ourselves, or is it better to believe in Brother Bao?

No matter which side is right or which side is wrong, I believe that Brother Bao will have a judgment and choice.

At this time, we have to be on his side.

If he is fine, we will be fine, if he is involved, how can we get out of the way? ”

After Aunt Xue thought about it, she felt that Baochai's words made sense.

Let's not talk about the four major families, especially in the past few years when they have been in Beijing, they have almost lived in Jiafu. The Xue family has no political foundation, so how easy is it to temporarily clear up the involvement?

The meaning of Baochai is that since you can't get rid of it, you can only help each other in the same boat, one is prosperous, and one is lost, which is better than the two ends of the snake and the rat......

"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll go to your aunt's house later."

"Hmm... And my brother, my mother must watch him these days, and she can't let him run around. In the past, he had an accident, and his uncle and brother Bao helped him, but now they are not in the capital, if he provokes others again, won't he be victimized? ”

When it came to Xue Pan, Aunt Xue was naturally extremely nervous, nodded again and again, and immediately asked her eldest maid to pass on her orders to Xue Pan.

"Okay, don't worry too much, your brother Bao has a great life, this time, it will definitely be fine......"

In the end, Aunt Xue actually comforted Baochai in turn, but when she saw Baochai lowering her head, she sighed slightly and went into the back room.

Silly girl, how can you not know that little bit of thought, for your mother?

It's just that we don't have that fate!

Seeing her mother enter the house, Baochai got up and owed a debt, and sat down again when she waited for someone to enter.

She knew that her mother, and even her brother, knew something about her thoughts.

She is not particularly shy and embarrassed at this point, after all, they were still in charge of the family affairs set for her, but they were robbed by the "evil forces".

Only later, when she made a private agreement with someone for life, did she dare not let people know......

As for the words she persuaded Aunt Xue, she was not really so decisive.

She just didn't want to lose.

All along, she knew that Jia Baoyu liked Daiyu very much.

Of course, she also knew that Jia Baoyu should also like her very much......

So she didn't want to wait for Jia Baoyu to come back and know that she had "abandoned him".

This is actually the most important factor that leads her decision.

On the other hand, she really felt that Jia Baoyu would not be defeated, and there seemed to be a light in him that made her blindly confident and admired......

So, she made what she thought was the right decision.

Without too much hesitation, after she asked her to say goodbye to her mother, she quickly took the maid and woman who accompanied her, and went out to go back to Daguan Garden to find Sanchun and Daiyu.
