From the palace again?

Could it be that the emperor has been sending people to keep an eye on the Xue family, just to see if the Xue family is on the road and whether there is any intention to apologize to the general?

Seeing that the Xue family is in trouble again, so I can't wait to punish the Xue family?

Xue Baochai felt that it couldn't be the reason, but he couldn't say what it was for a while.

"Brother, do you mean the Daming Palace, or?"

Xue Pan shook his head and said, "I don't know, they didn't say it, anyway, for my family, isn't it the same everywhere." ”

Well, that's true.

is too emperor, the Xue family can't afford to mess with it.

Could it be that the emperor and the Xue family can be offended?

Xue Baochai continued to ask: "Brother, just say it, what do you mean over there, what do you want our family to do before you give up?" ”

Seeing that Xue Pan still looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, Aunt Xue was anxious and slapped it down.

"You are a wicked obstacle, you are going to die in a hurry, don't say it quickly."

"You're a fool, but your sister is a hundred times stronger than you, you can't think of an idea, can't your sister still think of it?"

Good guy, this high hat is worn, Xue Baochai can't refuse at all.

Wait, with the apologetic look in my brother's eyes just now, Xue Baochai suddenly had a bad guess.

"Brother, tell me, is it related to my sister?"

When Xue Pan heard this, he knew that his sister was smart, and since he had already guessed it, he didn't have to hide it anymore.

"That's right!"

"I said over there, it doesn't matter if my family offends that Zhang An, as long as I apologize according to the emperor's will, it will be over."

"But, isn't this our errand this time and offended people again?"

"So, that side said, if you want to keep the Xue family's imperial merchant brand and solve the problem of my identity, you must make that, the general, feel that the sincerity of our family's apology is enough."

In the next words, Xue Pan was still a little embarrassed to speak.

However, Xue Baochai guessed it.

"If you want to satisfy the general, you have to solve the problem at the root."

"And my Xue family is planted in the link of sending maids this time, so I have to be a maid for the general to offset the fault of the Xue family, yes or no?"

Xue Pan was simply dumbfounded.

What kind of fairy sister is this, how can you guess accurately?

However, the words still have to be made clear, it's not to be a maid, it's to sell himself into slavery, and he Xue Datou is not going to sell his sister for glory!

"No, no, sister, you guessed wrong!"

Xue Baochai just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he was beaten into the bottomless abyss by Xue Pan's next sentence.

"What it means over there is that let's send a document of volunteering to be a concubine to the General's Mansion, promising to wait for my sister to be a concubine after my sister and Lu, and then send my sister over to be a concubine for the general."

Being a concubine is different, this is a good concubine, even if she is half a master, she is not the kind that can be killed casually!

"And this matter can't be known to anyone except my family, it can only be regarded as our own mind, otherwise..."

Ahh

How different is this from sending someone to be a maid?

What girl from a good family would be willing to be a concubine?

Didn't you see the Rong Mansion here, how those concubines were bullied by the ladies in charge?

Even the children born have to be treated as aunts, and they are not taken seriously, how can they survive in the future?

"I'll kill you with a plague, you're killing your own sister!"

"If your father is still here, who would dare to let the girl of my Xue family be a concubine?"

"I'm not alive anymore, it's too bullying, it's a big deal, let's go back to Jinling, the Xue family's business name is given to the second room, and it's not impossible for us to send people to live under the fence."

"When you go back, my mother will give Pan'er to buy some land in Jinling, and the rest of the money will be enough for our mother to enjoy for a lifetime as long as you don't spend it indiscriminately and don't cause trouble anymore."

Xue Baochai listened to Aunt Xue's crying, although she knew that her mother was acting, how could she ignore it.

That's it, that's it, born in the Xue family, this is fate!

"Mother, don't say that."

"The Xue family's business name is the inheritance of our ancestors, and this brand cannot be lost in our hands."

"Besides, I am a girl from a merchant's family, and I am fortunate to be the concubine of the second rank of the imperial court, which is also a happy event for children."

"I'd rather be a noble concubine than a mediocre wife!"

"Brother, go and reply over there, and say that our family agreed."

"It just so happens that with this relationship, it will be easier to do things in the future on the side of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"It's just that in this way, mother, we can't continue to stay in the Rong Mansion, otherwise, the general will be unhappy."

What did Aunt Xue come to God for?

It's not just to let Xue Baochai Xiaoxuan enter the palace, if he is lucky enough to be a concubine or something in the future, he can keep the Xue family's property.

No matter how bad it is, with the relationship between Mrs. Wang, and Baoyu, you can also have a place to rely on.

To put it bluntly, it is to find a backer for the Xue family, lest the Xue family's business name be taken away by outsiders.

Who called Xue Pan not to be angry, nothing to do!

Now that the palace means to let her be attached to the general, this is no different from the original plan, and she has a backer.

Therefore, Xue Baochai didn't feel any difference.

But if they still stay in the Rong Mansion, and that big-faced treasure breaks into the boudoir from time to time, and the melon fields and plums are passed out, isn't that a green hat for the general?

Regardless of whether there is such a thing, as long as it is rumored outside, can the general be indifferent?

I'm afraid I won't give up until I have to kill the Xue family!

Therefore, it is imperative to leave the Rong Mansion.

In the face of Xue Baochai's decision, what can Aunt Xue say?

Isn't this what she thinks in her heart, but she doesn't dare to say it?

In these years, no matter what the family is, the man is still in charge, no matter how good the daughter is, she will have to marry, and then she will be someone else's family.

Patriarchy has been the case since ancient times.

Therefore, for the sake of her son Xue Pan, no matter how unwilling she is, Aunt Xue can only choose to let her daughter be wronged.

However, thinking about it from another angle, it is better than entering the palace, at least you can meet from time to time.

In addition, the Xue family is rich, and money can make ghosts grind, as long as the money is spent enough, Xue Baochai may be able to live better over there.

How the Xue family's affairs will continue, let's not say it for the time being, and let's talk about the General's Mansion.

After Xia Shouzhong got the news of the Xue family's consent, he was immediately overjoyed.

After reporting to Emperor Longzheng, he was ordered to go to the General's Mansion.

And in the General's Mansion, Zhang An was talking to his uncle and aunt, as well as Ni Er's wife.

"Master, old lady, the eunuch Xia of the six palaces who has been to the house today is here again." Ping'er came to report.

When Zhang Nishi heard this, he immediately urged: "San'er, since someone is looking for you in the palace, you should go and meet the person who came, don't make a mistake." ”

My son has a close relationship with the palace, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I can't slack off!

"Yes, yes, Brother An'er go and go busy with your business, leave us alone." Uncles, aunts and others said one after another.

Zhang An confessed and left in a hurry.

It's not that he's afraid of delays, it's mainly that he's a little embarrassed to listen to his uncle and them praising him, and there's nothing to talk about.

"Ping'er, go back and prepare a few good horses from the warehouse, and you can watch the rest come out and send them when your uncle and them leave."

"By the way, all the people in our house should prepare two sets of autumn and winter clothes or something, and then order someone to go to the horse market to buy some horses and sedan chairs to pull carts and come back."

"Well, wait for the rest to come out, come back and tell me, anyway, it's the procurement that should be procured, don't be afraid to spend money."

Ping'er: "Yes, sir." ”

When you arrive at the main hall of the middle courtyard, this is the place to receive distinguished guests.

"Manager Xia, I don't know what happened when I came here this time?"

In the face of Zhang An's unceremonious questioning, Xia Shouzhong didn't hear it.

"Hey, my general, alas, this time the miscellaneous family has sent you good news, and you will be happy to hear it."

"Oh, so sure? I'm a little curious. ”

"Come on, serve tea!"

Zhang An invited Xia Shouzhong to take a seat, and took a sip of the fragrant tea sent by his subordinates.

"Manager Xia, drink tea, this is the imperial tea sent by the emperor, not to mention, it tastes very fragrant."

Xia Shouzhong said that this imperial tea is nothing, at most it is an intermediate tea, and it is not the highest grade.

It's better than this, it's not that the miscellaneous family hasn't drunk it, and it's not the class to show off this, isn't it the class to get an axe?

"Hehe, that's, Imperial Tea, it must be good."

Seeing that Zhang An didn't mean to ask, Xia Shouzhong was not discouraged.

"General, the miscellaneous family went back to report your meaning to Your Majesty before, and Your Majesty was angry at the old slave on the spot."

"It's not good for the old slave to do things, why didn't he even explain what the old man meant, didn't you misunderstand."

"I don't know, I thought His Majesty's hand was too long and his appearance was too ugly."

"Hey, speaking of which, it's all the fault of the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family is here to compensate the general."

"Please also ask the general to spare the old slave this time for the sake of the old slave's age and pathetic disability?"

Seeing this, Zhang An hurriedly helped Xia Shouzhong, who was bowing down, to his feet.

Although everyone tacitly knows that this is not Xia Shouzhong's fault, but on the surface, he still has to give Emperor Longzheng a face and go down the steps?

"Haha, Manager Xia said that it was just a misunderstanding, everyone just said it."

"If you really have to think about it, my temper is not too good, I have wronged Mr. Xia before, for the sake of my youth and ignorance, forgive me for this!"

"Hahaha." *2

Yes, they are all old (small) foxes.

The two of them said so to each other in their hearts.

Xia Shouzhong continued: "General, the miscellaneous family didn't come empty-handed this time, and I have good news for you. ”

"Speaking of which, it's not the miscellaneous family who is here to invite you for credit, but this matter is a good thing that was only done after the miscellaneous family suggested and His Majesty acquiesced!"

What?

Didn't the emperor say he didn't know anything?

That's right, in other people, the emperor doesn't know, but here in Zhang An, if you still hide it, do you believe that Emperor Longzheng will clean up Xia Shouzhong when he turns around?

On the contrary, without my acquiescence, this thing can be done?

Zhang An had a question mark in his head.

Well? This Xia Shouzhong, what did he do to see the shame?

Eunuch, what else can you do except come up with some bad ideas?

As for the good news from the eunuch's mouth, Zhang An didn't think there was anything good, as long as he didn't cheat him, it would be a good thing.
