Seeing Ying'er's expression, Lu Jing thought that Xue Baochai should have begged Daiyu, but Daiyu refused, so he waited for himself here, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This is not the place to talk, tell your girl if you want to save Xue Pan, let her follow me!" As he spoke, he took Chen Ji and turned around and walked towards Langui Street.

Seeing this, Ying'er stomped her feet a few times in a hurry, not knowing what to do, so she hurriedly ran to the carriage and told Xue Baochai what Lu Jing said.

After Xue Baochai heard this, he looked at Lu Jing's back, hesitated, let Ying'er get into the carriage, and followed behind Lu Jing.

After walking two streets, Lu Jing stopped at the door of a small courtyard in Shayu Lane, and then pushed the door in, letting Chen Ji stay outside the door.

This is the backyard, and in front of it is a silk shop called Splendid Yike, which is an industry in Lujiajing.

Xue Baochai didn't understand why Lu Jing brought them here, and stopped in front of the door for a long time, but finally got out of the carriage, took Ying'er, and entered the courtyard nervously, seeing Lu Jing enter one of the rooms, the two had to follow.

After Xue Baochai and Ying'er's master and servant entered the room, Lu Jing looked at Xue Baochai carefully.

This was the first time he had seen Xue Baochai, and he saw that he was dressed in a cyan dress, a cyan smoke gown, and a cyan waist skirt, and the skirt was covered with a thin silk veil like a clear mist, and he was extremely plain.

The green silk on the head is pulled into a child, the appearance is plump, the face is like a silver basin, the powder is thin, the lips are red without dotting, the eyebrows are not painted but green, the eyes are like apricots, and there is a light and elegant atmosphere on the body, but there are a few wisps of sadness and tension in the eyes.

Xue Baochai noticed Lu Jing's gaze, his face turned red, and he hurriedly bowed his head and bowed: "The little girl meets Lord Lu!" ”

"No need to be polite!" Lu Jing said in vain, thinking of King Zhongshun's plan, he secretly sighed in his heart that Xue Baochai was also a rare woman, with both talent and appearance, but Jia Baoyu was cheaper.

Xue Baochai originally planned to ask him to save his brother no matter what if he saw Lu Jing, but after meeting, he didn't know how to speak.

Lu Jing glanced at Ying'er and said to her: "You go to guard the door, I have something to discuss with Miss Xue!" ”

Hearing this, Ying'er looked at her girl, her eyes were full of exploration and uneasiness, and she was afraid that after she went out, Lord Lu would do something trivial to her girl.

Xue Baochai was also a little uneasy in his heart, sharing a room with a strange man, which was detrimental to his reputation, but now that he had reached this point, he was helpless, only hesitated, and nodded at Ying'er.

Ying'er took small steps, looked back from time to time, walked to the door and wanted to close the door, but felt that it was inappropriate, so she stood at the door, with her back to the two of them.

Lu Jing saw Ying'er standing at the door, looking in from time to time, and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk!" ”

Xue Baochai hesitated when he heard this, and finally did not sit down, but looked at Lu Jing and stopped.

Seeing this, Lu Jing said directly: "It's not difficult to save your brother, but I have a few questions for you!" ”

When Xue Baochai heard the first half of the sentence, he immediately showed joy, and looked at Lu Jing with a look of hope, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he was worried again, afraid that Lu Jing would put forward any conditions that he could not bear, so he hurriedly said: "As long as you can rescue your brother, no matter how many silver taels the adults want, the Xue family is willing to give it!" ”

"It's not about money!" Lu Jing understood Xue Baochai's thoughts, and asked directly: "What is your right to speak in the Xue family, can you ensure that your mother and your brother will listen to you, especially in the matter of imperial business?" ”

Xue Baochai looked at Lu Jing in some surprise, not understanding what this had to do with saving his brother.

"It's important, you'll answer it when you've thought about it!" Lu Jing said solemnly.

After returning from Xiyuan that day, he wanted to understand why King Zhongshun handed over Xue Pan to himself, presumably King Zhongshun also knew the situation of the Xue family, if it was according to the selection criteria this time, the Xue family would inevitably lose.

If he forcibly keeps the name of the Xue family's imperial businessman, it will inevitably affect this selection, and he has been thinking about how to keep the name of the Xue family's imperial merchant in the past few days.

originally planned to go to the prison to torture Xue Pan until Xue Pan obeyed his words, but now that he saw Xue Baochai, he had a new plan in his mind.

When Xue Baochai heard this, he thought that Lu Jing wanted to exchange his brother's safety for the name of the Xue family's imperial businessman, and he suddenly felt a little desperate, and looked at Lu Jing with an even more sad expression.

Seeing that Lu Jing's expression was firm, he was not moved by himself at all, and struggled for a long time, and said with some despair in his voice: "If it is the matter of the imperial businessman, the slave family can convince the mother and brother!" ”

After finishing speaking, she wanted to cry and began to regret this trip to the Lu family, first losing her dignity in front of Daiyu, and then being forced by her husband.

When Lu Jing saw Xue Baochai's expression, she knew that she had misunderstood what she meant, but she also heard some clues from her words, combined with the account in the book, it was basically certain that she could call the shots in the affairs of the Xue family, and said: "In this case, you will send someone to the injured person tomorrow to compensate for some silver taels, and then let him withdraw the complaint!" ”

Although Xue Baochai held back his tears, there was still a bit of crying in his voice: "I have sent someone to go many times, and that person has always refused to let go of my brother!" ”

"You don't have to worry about this matter, as long as you compensate tomorrow, that person will definitely withdraw the lawsuit, and Xue Pan will also be released at that time!" Lu Jing said directly, King Zhongshun had already sent someone to greet that person, and that person was now panicking, but without his own order, that person did not dare to take the initiative to withdraw the lawsuit.

Xue Baochai looked at Lu Jing in surprise, wondering in his heart whether Lu Jing was secretly operating this matter, in order to deal with the Xue family.

Seeing that Xue Baochai didn't answer, Lu Jing continued: "As for the affairs of the imperial business, as long as you listen to my arrangement, the Xue family will be selected!" ”

Xue Baochai looked at Lu Jing in disbelief after hearing this, and even suspected that he had heard it wrong, until he saw Lu Jing nodding again, he was convinced that what he had just heard was true, and his tears instantly flowed uncontrollably, and he was busy wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

I thought that my brother and the family could only choose one or the other, but now not only will my brother be fine, but the royal family will not have to worry about it.

Lu Jing saw that Baochai was crying a little pitiful, and just wanted to comfort a few words, he saw Ying'er running in in a hurry, protecting Baochai behind him, and staring at him vigilantly.

Xue Baochai saw that Ying'er had misunderstood, and hurriedly asked Ying'er to step back, and saw Lu Jing staring at him, his face turned red, he hurriedly wiped away his tears, showed a smile, and bowed: "Baochai thank you for your kindness!" ”

"Grace!" When Lu Jing heard this, he was stunned in his heart, thinking of King Zhongshun's calculation of the Xue family, it is difficult to say whether it is favor or hatred, everyone is just a chess piece, and he will see who has the ability to overturn the chessboard in the end.

"Pick up your girl!" Lu Jing came back to his senses and said lightly to Ying'er.

Ying'er hurriedly picked up Baochai, looked at the two of them with some confusion, and wondered why the girl was crying and laughing.

"Remember what I said, someone will contact you in a few days, and your decision is related to the future of the Xue family!"

"And don't tell anyone about your meeting with me today!" After Lu Jing finished speaking, he got up and left.

Xue Baochai stared at Lu Jing's departing figure, until the figure completely disappeared from sight, and still unwilling to withdraw his gaze.

Ying'er pulled Xue Baochai's sleeve and called out to the girl, and Xue Baochai came back to her senses.

Seeing Ying'er staring at herself, Xue Baochai's face was slightly red, and she hurriedly said, "Let's go!" With that, he stepped out the door.

After returning to the carriage, Xue Baochai's mood couldn't calm down for a long time, he didn't expect that he would meet with a strange man privately, and he lost his temper several times, and then told Ying'er not to tell anyone about today's events, and asked Ying'er to buy the coachman.

After returning to Rongfu, he only explained to his mother about seeing Daiyu, and did not disclose the meeting with Lu Jing, and after returning to the room, he began to think about the conversation with Lu Jing today, and felt that there was something worth pondering.

The next day, in order to verify Lu Jing's words, Xue Baochai sent someone to pay 3,000 taels of silver to the person injured by Xue Pan according to what Lu Jing said.

When the man got the money, he immediately asked his retinue to go to Suncheonfu and withdraw the complaint.

Yin Wu Bingxuan of Shuntian Mansion got Lu Jing's notice, and as soon as the person withdrew the complaint, he put Xue Panting's staff twenty and released Xue Pan.

As for Xue Pan's little guys, they were locked up according to what Lu Jing said, and the Xue family saw Xue Pan come out, and they didn't care about the life or death of those little guys, and hurriedly carried Xue Pan home for treatment.

Although his brother was beaten, Xue Baochai saw that what Lu Jing said came true one by one, and thought that the affairs of the imperial merchant should be stable, and the worry in his heart was reduced a little.

At the same time, as Lu Jing said that he would send someone to contact him, he had a faint expectation in his heart.

It's just that after waiting for a few days, there has been no news from Lu Jing, and Xue Baochai suddenly has an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
