Early in the morning, as soon as Baochai got up to freshen up, she saw her mother-in-law coming over, saying that Aunt Xue was sick and telling her to go back quickly.

Baochai was taken aback, and immediately reorganized and rushed home.

Out of the Grand View Garden, looking at the streets that were much deserted than before, she suddenly thought of something and asked her mother-in-law: "What is the cause of my wife's illness?" ”

"I don't know what the specific cause is, but my wife said last night that she was not feeling well, and she couldn't even get out of bed when she got up this morning......"

Baochai was silent when he heard this. When he arrived at home, when he saw Aunt Xue who was really lying on the bed, Baochai was a little confused, and hurriedly stepped forward to care and ask.

Aunt Xue said weakly: "I'm fine, I guess it's caused by a bad meal last night and a little bit of wind and cold...... When people get old, their bodies are useless, and they become more and more squeamish. ”

Baochai said: "If it's cold today, my mother should pay more attention to dressing and keeping warm." By the way, I still have two packs of cold medicine prescribed by the former doctor, and I thought it worked well after taking it, so I went back to get it for my mother. ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly waved her hand, pulled Baochai, and said with a smile: "No, no, that kind of medicine is also always available at home, and I just took it, and I feel a lot better." Now I want you to be by my side and have a good talk with me. ”

Baochai measured his complexion, and when he saw that Aunt Xue was nervous, Fang Cai's "sick appearance" disappeared, and he already understood eight or nine points in his heart.

After being silent for a moment, she turned sideways and said, "Didn't you say it, why did my mother regret it again and use such a method to trick me out." ”

He looked a little unhappy.

Aunt Xue saw that she had missed the trap, so she no longer covered it up, she sat up, pulled Baochai's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Silly girl, can I still harm you?" You're young, you don't know how powerful those things are, that's something that will kill you if you get involved!

You're so young, how can I bear to watch you stay in such a dangerous place?

You have been at home with me for a few days, and when the wind has passed, it will be the same when you go back to live in the garden. ”

It's the same, how can it be the same?

If the heart is far away, how to make up for it?

"Mom, didn't you say it before, with the relationship between our families, if their family really gets into trouble, how can our family hide?

Could it be that Mom is ready to go back to Nanjing tomorrow?

Don't talk about whether we can hide from Nanjing, let's just say that now the city is also closed, and we can't leave if we want to. ”

Baochai said it seriously, the smile on Aunt Xue's face was gone, she sighed, and said: "I don't understand what you said, but it's different now, you don't know, last night, several mansions were surrounded by officers and soldiers......"

Baochai's face changed slightly, and he said movingly: "Which ones are they?" How did Mom know? ”

"What happened at night was the general's family with the troops, and now your brother has brought someone to inquire about the specific situation, and it is estimated that he should come back later."

As he was saying this, he suddenly heard some commotion outside, and then he saw the maid running in and said, "Mrs. is not good, there are many officers and soldiers ...... outside."

Aunt Xue's mother and daughter were both taken aback, and Aunt Xue hurriedly asked what was wrong.

The maid couldn't say clearly, but the mother-in-law came behind and said: "There are a lot of officers and soldiers on horseback on the street, and they have surrounded the two mansions of the Jia family." ”

"Did anyone come to our house?"

"It doesn't seem like there's a ......"

As soon as she heard that it wasn't coming towards them, Aunt Xue's face looked slightly better.

But seeing that Baochai's face was extremely handsome, he suddenly got up and walked out.

Aunt Xue was shocked and hurriedly stopped.

Baochai said: "Mom, don't worry, I'm just going to the door to see ......"

At the gate of the Xue family, there were many maids and servants of the Xue family.

Seeing Baochai coming, they saluted and got out of the way.

Baochai slowed down and peered through the half-hidden door.

The soldiers in gold armor were neatly displayed in the south of Ningrong Back Street, encircling the two mansions of the huge Jia family.

The back door of the Grand View Garden has long been closed, and occasionally you can see a few sneaky heads popping out from the edge of the wall to look out, and then they are so frightened that they immediately shrink back.

Baochai looked at it twice, retreated, and ordered the servants to close the door.

At this point, there was no point in her going back. It looks like she can't go back. Qingfeng Literature

In this way, while there is nothing to do at home, it is better to explore ways to help rescue my brother and mother at home.

……

The people of Rongguo Mansion and Jia Mansion were also frightened by the sudden movement outside.

The people were jumping and talking.

The masters all ran to Mrs. Wang's courtyard and Jia's mother's courtyard.

In Mrs. Wang's courtyard, Lin Zhixiao hurriedly walked in and said, "Madam, the slave inquired, saying that it was because the rebels were besieging the city, and the court wanted to arrest the rebel accomplices. ”

Mrs. Wang said in a trembling voice: "How did our family become an accomplice of the rebels? ”

"I don't know this, probably because of the second master Bao'......"

Mrs. Wang only felt that her body was soft, and she couldn't stand still.

Wang Xifeng, who was next to her, hurriedly supported her and asked, "What is possible?" Our family is the concubine's mother's family, there is no evidence, why are they doing this to us? ”

Lin Zhixiao bowed his head, that's what he said, but aunt, you have the ability, you go and ask?

Those people were all carrying knives, and they were murderous.

To be able to inquire about this, it is almost half my life......

Wang Xifeng is just stubborn, in the face of such a thing, why is she not afraid in her heart?

"Have they ever done it?"

"Not really, it's just that we're not allowed to move. The minions have already asked all the portals to be closed, and they are strictly guarded against ......"

Guard? That's an officer and soldier, but with dozens of family guards at home, how can they hold it.

"Where's Lian Er?" Mrs. Wang asked.

"Second Master Lian is on the eldest master's side......"

As he was talking, a mother-in-law in Jia's mother's house came and said, "Mrs. is not good, the old lady has fainted with fright when she heard about the things outside......

Everyone's faces changed again.

Mrs. Wang hurried to Rongqing Hall, and before leaving, she instructed Wang Xifeng to find Jia Lian back.

Although Wang Xifeng was unwilling to pay attention to Jia Lian in her heart, Mrs. Wang had an order, and she still had to comply.

Because she was going to find Jia Lian, she was told that the officers and soldiers outside were not allowed to move around, which made her difficult.

Lin Zhixiao's family said: "The second grandmother doesn't know that when the eldest master split up, there was originally a door between the east side of the courtyard and this side.

Later, the door didn't move much, and my wife let it be locked.

The key is probably still in the warehouse now, and grandma went to the warehouse to get the key, so that we don't have to go around from the outside, and we can go directly from the inside. ”

Wang Xifeng remembered it at this time, and hurriedly asked people to go to the warehouse to get the key.

On the side of the East Cross Courtyard, Jia Yu was anxious, and when Jia Lian came back and told him about the situation, he scolded even more: "Didn't I ask you to go to Du Xiang's Mansion yesterday to do something, didn't you say that they wouldn't embarrass us if they took the things, what's going on now?" ”

Jia Lian said aggrievedly: "It's accepted, it's their housekeeper who personally collected it......"

"So what's going on now?"

"Maybe the Du family doesn't know about this matter yet......"

When Jia Yu heard this, he was even more furious, "Didn't you say that it was Du Xiang who is in charge of the court now, could he not know that such a big thing happened?" Or did you kid not send the silver over at all, and gave it to Lao Tzu to swallow it privately? ”

"No, no, absolutely no ......"

Jia Lian hurriedly denied it, he was not such a crazy person, how could he be greedy for such life-saving silver!

He did see the Du family and sent everything in, as for why it didn't work, how did he know?

Could it be that the dignified Du Ge is so tasteless, and he receives the money but does not do anything?
