Next Chapter

Xue Mansion in the suburbs of Songjiang, famous for operating porcelain and the world, it is rumored that Master Xue has a unique red flame red porcelain, it is said that this red porcelain has a mysterious power, can absorb all the bad luck on the person, and help it transform and improve into good luck, promote health, very spiritual.....

The eldest lady of the Xue family, Xue Feifei, just turned 18 years old this year, and she is at the age of leaving the cabinet. At this moment, she was seriously embroidering a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the maid Xiaoxi next to her said happily: "Miss, the threshold of our Xue family has been flattened by the people who proposed it these days, I heard Steward Chen say that most of them are famous families in Suzhou Mansion, there is a son named Zhang Yao, I heard that my sister is still the imperial concubine, Miss, if you marry the past, our Xue family is also considered the imperial family." I don't know what this son looks like?"

Xue Feifei raised his delicate face, rubbed his eyes, and said with a smile: "You girl, you chase Steward Chen all day long to ask about the proposal, and you are not afraid of people's jokes, is it possible that you also want to marry?"

Xiao Xi blushed suddenly, pouted and said, "Miss, I'm in a hurry for you, I knew who my uncle was earlier, so let's go and inquire secretly, aren't you?" ”

Feifei looked at Xiaoxi and thought to herself, this girl has followed her since she was a child, just like her own sister, and after her own affairs are ordered, she must ask her father to find a good family for Xiaoxi.

Seeing that Feifei didn't speak, Xiaoxi continued: "Miss, I heard that the master is chatting with Zhang Gongzi in the hall now, why don't I go and have a look?" After speaking, without waiting for Xue Feifei to answer, he ran out like a wind.

Feifei looked at Xiaoxi's back running away, shook her head helplessly, but couldn't calm down the embroidery, she looked at the row of verdant bamboos outside the window, and there was always an indescribable feeling in her heart.

In the hall of Xue's mansion, Master Xue frowned tightly, picked up a cup of green tea in his right hand, took a sip, forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said in a calm voice as much as possible: "It turns out that Zhang Gongzi did not come to propose marriage this time, but for the red flame red porcelain?"

Zhang Yao shook the fan in his hand and said: "Not really, if you are willing to use red porcelain as a dowry, it is okay for me to marry Ling Yan, but I already have a main room in my family, and only Miss Xue is wronged as a concubine." However, I think my family is now a holy grace, if Miss Xue marries, you and I can be regarded as in-laws, and the Xue family will soar in the future, just around the corner, what do you think?"

Master Xue listened to him more and more disagreeable, raised his hand and put down the teacup heavily, and said: "Gongzi Zhang, although my Xue family is not as good as the emperor's relatives, but relying on the ancestral industry Fengze, in this Suzhou Mansion is also a famous family, it is really difficult for a strong person to take a little girl as a concubine." Besides, the red porcelain vase is an ancestral heirloom of my family and must not be given to another family. Zhang Gongzi is the brother of Emperor Zhang, a noble person, and my Xue family can't afford to climb it. It's not early, Zhang Gongzi, please!" he said, without looking at Zhang Yao, and walked towards the gate with his legs raised.

Zhang Yao opened his mouth, and was speechless for a while, seeing that Master Xue had already walked quickly to the gate, with a posture of getting out of your way. He blushed, and said with a stiff neck, "Xue Tong, I discuss with you in a good voice, don't toast or eat and drink." ”

Master Xue said angrily: "Zhang Yao, I respect you as the imperial prince, don't be embarrassed." ”

Since Zhang Yao was named the imperial concubine, who dares to say a word to himself before and after him, this little Xue Tong in front of him dares to be so disrespectful to himself.... Thinking of this, a vicious aura rose from the bottom of his heart, he sneered, threw off his sleeves and left.

There was a crisp sound, a teacup made of white jade was smashed into pieces, Zhang Yao returned home with his breath, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: a Xue Mansion, dare to give an expulsion order to himself, if he didn't let Xue Tong know how powerful he was, wouldn't he be this royal prince in vain. Besides, my sister's birthday is approaching, but I boasted in front of my sister that I wanted to use this red porcelain as a birthday gift. If you take it out at that time, won't you lose face? Thinking of this, a wave of murderous intent suddenly rose......

The streets are lively during the day, but at night they are quiet and terrible. Suddenly, a masked man in a black night robe walked out of the darkness of the street corner, and a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes looked at the Xue Mansion not far away, flashing with a cold cold light. Seeing that his figure jumped, he jumped onto the roof and quietly ran towards Xue's house.

Xue Feifei slept unsteadily tonight, tossing and turning, thinking that Xiaoxi overheard what Zhang Yao said to his father in the hall a few days ago, and he was upset, so he simply got up and wanted to go to the yard for a walk. Xiaoxi was outside, heard a sound in the young lady's room, so he also got up, and when he bumped into Feifei coming out, the two walked out together, and after a few steps, he saw that his father's study was still bright, and he was curious, so he walked over.

Xue Tong had always had some ominous premonitions in his heart since he angrily reprimanded Zhang Yao a few days ago, and he was facing the legendary red porcelain in the study at the moment, stunned. Feifei asked Xiaoxi to wait outside, gently pushed open the door by himself, and said, "Dad, why don't you sleep so late?"

Xue Tong didn't expect her daughter to come to the study, she was a little surprised, paused and said, "Feifei, why don't you sleep so late?"

Feifei said: "In the past few days, I have been bored, I can't sleep every night, I always feel like something is going to happen, Dad, I see that you have been absent-minded these days, do you have something to hide from me?"

Xue Tong sighed lightly and said: "Zhang Yao is too bullying, in fact, he has long coveted this treasure of our family, and a few years ago he sent someone to say that he wanted to pay for it, but I categorically refused, I didn't expect that this time he would come up with such an idea, it can be seen how resolute his heart is to win the treasure." Dad was worried that he still wouldn't give up. Your mother went early, and you are the only child in the family, if there is a mistake, how can your father be worthy of your mother. ”

Feifei hurriedly comforted: "Daddy, you think too much, the red porcelain is my family's thing, as long as we are determined not to give it, this Zhang Yao still dares to rob it, and if it doesn't work, let's go and sue, is there no royal law in the world?"

Xue Tong shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart: "My daughter, she looks weak on the outside, but she is actually strong-hearted, if she really annoys her, maybe she will really go to court, but this world is so big, it is not the king's land, Zhang Yao's status as an imperial relative, those officials are too late, how can they control him." ”

Thinking of this, he wanted to persuade his daughter, but suddenly, Xiaoxi slammed open the door of the study in horror and said in a trembling voice: "Master, no, a man in black broke in.... Kill people when you see them.... It's coming to this soon. Xiao Xi couldn't even say what he was scared of.

Xue Tong's face turned pale suddenly, sure enough, the worry still came, he had already thought of this result in his heart, so he also had a countermeasure early.

He walked quickly to the bookshelf, pressed his hand inside, and the bookshelf suddenly moved down to the side, revealing a secret door, Xue Tong pointed to the door and said to Feifei: "Run away with the red porcelain, Xiaoxi take care of Miss." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Feifei to speak, he pushed Feifei and Xiaoxi into the door together, pressed the mechanism with his backhand, and the bookshelf slowly closed.
