Zhonglin Hall.

Jia Qiang looked at Lin Ruhai and said with some shame: "Without the consent of my aunt and grandfather, I caused a lot of trouble." Now that the second room of the Xue family has come to take care of Xue Ming, they have to be disturbed again. ”

How could Lin Ruhai care about such a trivial matter, shook his head and said: "It's also a relative, it's inconvenient for me to come forward, you and your aunt and aunt will take care of them." I heard Yu'er say that in the capital, the second wife and the Xue Wang family treated her very well and lovingly. The relationship between the two rooms of the Xue family is not far away, so don't be lazy. ”

After Jia Qiang responded, Lin Ruhai suddenly remembered something, and said suspiciously: "Then Xue Pan of the Xue family is not good, how can Brother Qiang treat him differently?" After a pause, he frowned and said, "If others are watching, Xu will suspect that you are thinking about the wealth of the Xue family." But I know that you are not such a person. It's just, how to explain ......"

When Jia Qiang heard this, she smiled faintly, and then told how she escaped from Ningfu, how she had a difficult life after escaping, how Xue Pan squandered money and helped each other several times.

In the end, he said: "Uncle Grandpa, Xue Pan, I don't defend him for anything, but he is just a little bit of a fool, and he doesn't have much to do, and he doesn't hesitate to act." In the eyes of most people, he is a typical example of mud that can't hold up the wall. It is also a bad deed to once commit arson to slavery and injure people's lives, but when the kidnapper was sold for one daughter and two children, Feng Yuan bought it first but did not take people home immediately, but agreed to pick them up three days later. After Xue Pan accidentally saw Xiangling, he immediately spent money to buy it and took it home. Three days later, Feng Yuan brought someone to the door and vowed to take people, but the Xue family naturally refused to let them, so they caused a lot of life. Although the guilt is inescapable, there are some reasons. And he is really righteous towards me, and he is not very utilitarian when he helps me, so I remember his favors. In addition, I really need the Feng number of the Xue family very much to help me balance the Qi family and the Xu family. ”

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai understood, looked at Jia Qiang and shook his head and smiled: "That's it, since you have your own considerations, I won't say more." Just a little bit, don't let people hold you back. Since you choose to take a boat with him, you must watch him and don't cause a big disaster. ”

Jia Qiang nodded when she heard this, but shook her head and smiled: "Compared to those people in the Jia family who have the heart of a tiger and a wolf and only have the power of chickens and dogs, Xue Pan is simply harmless. My aunt and uncle are busy with big things these days, so I don't know what my second uncle has been doing recently......"

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he frowned and said, "What is Lian'er going to do again?" ”

Jia Qiang was a little admiring, and said: "Recently, Yangzhou Mansion has been restless, and I am worried that this side of the matter will affect him, so I sent someone to watch him." Unexpectedly, he found that he had been very close to the Liu family, the governor of Jiangnan, recently. not only traveled back and forth with that Liu Sanye between the Qinhuai River in Jinling and the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, Hu Tianhudi, and even ...... also has some things to do with that Liu Sanye's favorite concubine, and she is not clean. On the boat before, I was hard pressed a few times, and he was still in peace for a while. In the past month of coming to Yangzhou, he has been too arbitrary, so he doesn't take me seriously. The man I sent to call him back also made him scold. ”

Lin Ruhai was annoyed when he heard this: "There is such a thing? What a bastard! ”

His eyes and ears in Yangzhou Mansion are more than ten times stronger than Jia Qiang, but the situation has been really tense recently, so most of the forces are used to monitor the eight salt merchant clans, and there is no manpower to take care of a swinger brother.

But I didn't expect Jia Lian to do this!

Lin Ruhai said: "After all, you are a nephew, and it is also true that he does not listen to you." Brother Qiang doesn't have to pay attention to this matter, I asked someone to call him back. Since there is nothing to do here, it is better for him to return to the capital as soon as possible. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the door opened, and Aunt Mei and Daiyu came in.

Two beautifully dressed women came in, and in an instant, the Zhonglin Hall seemed to be bright.

Aunt Mei is only twenty-six or seventy-seven years old this year, and she is as beautiful as the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

And Daiyu, dressed in hibiscus gold wide sleeves hanging flower palace brocade, flowing clouds and sideburns inserted with a gilt filigree inlaid beaded hairpin, earlobes red gold and white jade drop bead earrings......

It is as expensive as golden branches and jade leaves, a pair of starry eyes, and it is as clear and beautiful as a snow-capped mountain ice spring, not contaminated with a trace of vulgarity.

These two people are like the peony in full bloom and the hibiscus is blooming.

Lin Ruhai's heart cultivation is much stronger than Jia Qiang's, and in the face of such a beautiful world, he only smiled slightly, and said, "Do you know that the Xue family is here?" ”

Aunt Mei looked at Lin Ruhai's gaze, always admired and respected like that, nodded and smiled: "I know, the master is naturally inconvenient to see his family's relatives, I am not in a position to come forward, but it is not good for the girl to meet alone, I can only force myself to meet in person, I just hope that they will not blame the family for being rude." ”

Lin Ruhai smiled, didn't say much, and looked at Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "The Xue family is not a frivolous person, especially this second room, to be honest, the duty is a bit beyond my expectations." Moreover, who would dare to despise his aunt with a clear eye? Aunt Lin and I are still respectful, if outsiders dare to be rude, I will drive them away. Aunt Lin has always made fun of me and is a rude person. ”

Daiyu was still angry, but when she heard the words, she couldn't help but whisper to Lin Ruhai: "Brother Qiang is the most rude, and he quarrels with the eldest uncle, the second uncle and the eldest brother of Dongfu Zhen in front of the old lady, and they can't win Brother Qiang." ”

Lin Ruhai knew about this, but Aunt Mei was quite shocked, her eyes seemed to know Jia Qiang again, she looked at this rebel son of the Jia clan, and asked, "Brother Qiang is still arguing with the elders?" How noisy? ”

Jia Qiang squinted at a certain little woman, how could Daiyu be afraid, but with rebellious excitement, her eyes were full of playfulness, she bit the corner of her lip, smiled and learned Jia Qiang's original tone, repeated it, and finally said: "...... Today, if you dare to insult me again, and be exiled for 3,000 miles, I will also go to Jingyang Palace to beat the drums and hear the sky, and you and I will see life and death in front of the emperor! Hee-hee! The eldest uncle really didn't dare to scold him anymore! This kind of scene, even for Daiyu, is absolutely exciting.

Xu is from that day, Jia Qiang has left the shadow of a bad boy in her heart......

Aunt Mei became more and more impressed by someone, but Lin Ruhai couldn't look at this increasingly naughty daughter, shook her head and smiled: "Okay, Brother Qiang has the emperor as a guarantee for him, and besides, some people are really not like it...... However, don't learn from him. ”

Jia Qiang: "......"

After all, he carried everything alone.

"Poof!"

Seeing his expression, Daiyu couldn't help laughing, like a hibiscus blooming.

……

Guest house.

Jia Qiang met Xue Ming's wife, Liao, and ...... But eleven-year-old Xue Baoqin.

If Daiyu is said to be beautiful and natural, like a posthumous independent hibiscus fairy grass, Baochai is like an ice field snow lotus, the two of them into the painting, when the landscape splashes ink freehand painting.

Xue Baoqin, then, is like a realistic oil painting in the West.

It doesn't look so beautiful, but in terms of facial features, every part is exquisite to the extreme.

She doesn't have Daiyu's Lingxiu, nor does she have the coldness of Baochai, she is her, she is generous, not immortal or mysterious, just a real beautiful embryo.

Xue Pan acted as an intermediary and introduced: "Second aunt, he is Brother Qiang, I don't have to say anything to the Xue family, when my mother and sister were in Beijing, I lived with him in Lixiangyuan...... Now in Southern Province, he has also helped us a lot. The second uncle fell ill, but Brother Qiang found the imperial doctor, and found the treasure medicine from the side, so he was saved. Otherwise, the second uncle's mourning hall will be set up at this time......"

"You kid......"

Liao Shi couldn't listen to him talk nonsense, and after being annoyed, he looked at Jia Qiang, who was described by Zhilan Yushu, and bowed and said, "Thank you brother for saving your life!" ”

Xue Baoqin also bowed.

Jia Qiang hurriedly avoided this gift, gave a hand, and said: "The two families were originally world friends, and they were old relatives, but they were not their duty. Mr. should have come to see Second Uncle Xue in person, but Mr. himself was also recuperating in bed, and the two imperial doctors in the family were urgently sent by the Son of Heaven in Beijing after receiving the testament. Mr. specially ordered me to confess one or two in front of Second Uncle Xue and his wife. ”

How dare Xue Ming and the Liao family bear it, Xue Ming couldn't move, so he ordered Xue Zhen to kneel and kowtow on his behalf.

Liao and Xue Baoqin returned the salute again......

After the ceremony, Jia Qiang smiled again: "Because of the early death of my wife, the backyard of the Yamen of the Yanyuan has been taken care of by Aunt Mei. Mrs. Jin Dewen and ...... "looked at Baoqin, but they didn't know what to call it.

Xue Pan shouted on the side: "Brother Qiang is the same as me, and calling Qin'er sister is it." ”

He said to Xue Baoqin again: "Qin'er will treat him like me in the future, just call my brother." ”

Xue Ming and Liao smiled: "It should be like this." ”

Xue Baoqin was not embarrassed, and generously curtled his knees, and shouted: "Brother Qiang." ”

Jia Qiang responded with a smile, took out a jade pendant from his sleeve pocket, and said, "Take it as a fan pendant." ”

This jade pendant was prepared for him by Aunt Mei before he came over.

Although Jia Qiang is impatient, the etiquette is so ......

Just like before, Liao also gave him a meeting gift.

After the politeness, Jia Qiang said: "Aunt and Aunt Lin have prepared a table in the backyard, shall I take Mrs. and Sister Qin in?" ”

Liao Shi hurriedly said: "This can't be helped, it's not that I take Qiao lightly, it's just that I am also sick and taking medicine." The doctor instructed that except for some clear porridge every day, it should not be used much. Moreover...... I suffer from phlegm, which is not pure, so it is not easy to disturb the inside, and I am afraid that I will be sick. But Jean can go and thank my aunt and the girl on my behalf. ”

After that, he asked Xue Zhen to fetch the gift list she brought and hand it to Xue Baoqin.

When Jia Qiang heard this, she didn't force it, and understood: "It's okay, then I'll take Sister Qin in." Madame is resting......" paused and asked, "Madame is phlegm?" ”

Liao sighed and said, "It is this incurable disease. ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Since they are all diseases of the lungs, in fact, the treasure medicine of Tianning Temple also has some curative effect on Madame's illness." In the evening, the imperial doctor will come to revisit Second Uncle Xue, and then Mrs. will also take a look. If it can be saved, it is also a blessing. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xue Ming, Xue Zhen and Baoqin were all excited.

Especially Xue Ming, it seems that the relationship between the husband and wife is very good, but at this moment it is more concerned than his own treatment, and he said in a continuous voice: "Yes, yes, that great doctor's medical skills, and that treasure medicine...... It will heal you! ”

"Daddy! Mother! ”

Xue Zhen and Xue Baoqin's brother and sister were naturally surprised, since Xue Ming and his wife had suffered from a serious illness one after another, his brother and sister felt like a 10,000-pound boulder in their hearts.

What night without nightmares?

Now I never expected that there would be such a turnaround!

Xue Pan on the side saw that there was still a piece of gauze on his forehead, so he raised his head and laughed, and said: "When my father was still there, my father and second uncle scolded me all day long for not being good at learning and not being motivated, so I was not as good as Xue Zhen!" Looking at it now, I can see who is the big hero of the Xue family, right? Now, I have become the pillar of the Xue family, wow, hahaha! ”
