At this time, Xue Baobao, who was wearing a hat and gorgeous clothes, was squatting by the straw mat and opening these books, and the valuable dress was spread out on the dirty ground so casually, which also showed that his master did not know how to cherish it.

Yang Jinping looked at the lazy and slippery book stall owner, and then looked at Xue Baobao squatting on the side of the road flipping through the books, and inexplicably felt that the picture was quite harmonious, and there was even a little bit of matching-

Of course, he would never dare to say it.

Xue Baobao flipped through it very quickly, and about a quarter of an hour later, she flipped through the books on the straw mat, and she had to go to get the rattan box again.

The lazy stall owner lazily stretched out his hand to stop, "Girl, you can only see it if you buy it."

Yu Xiu opened his mouth and asked, "How to sell it?" ”

The lazy stall owner looked him up and down, "If you want to buy it, buy it all, 10,000 taels."

"Ten thousand taels!"

Nanxing and Ah Wei shouted at the same time, "A few broken books, you want to sell them for 10,000 taels, are you bullying us foreigners?" ”

Nanxing and Ah Wei were very loud, not only the people nearby, but also Bao Gong and Yang Jinping could hear it clearly.

At the same time, the whispers of the people around them also reached their ears.

“…… The old man of the Zhang family was in a hurry, and he sold all the medical books left by his ancestors, and he asked for 10,000 taels when he opened his mouth......"

“…… These outsiders are rich at first glance, but they can't open their mouths like this......

“…… This girl I know that I have met at the door of the bookstore for several days, and I buy books in boxes and boxes, and she must be very fond of books.

The old man of the Zhang family must have seen it, and he dared to open his mouth to ask for 10,000 taels......"

“…… He was counting on these books to turn over when they were sold, and there were a lot of people who came to ask these days, and they were scared away by the price he offered......"

“…… In this way, the old man of the Zhang family is not stupid, he can't look down on small shrimp and small crabs, so he waits for the big fish to take the bait, and the last hook is enough to eat for a lifetime......"

The whispers of the people around him, although Yu Xiu can't understand them all, he can also listen to a rough idea.

He was gentle and not angry, and said with a smile, "This little brother, do you do business, ask for money on the spot."

If you drive too high, we won't buy it, so why don't you give an honest price? ”

The lazy stall owner's eyes were about to turn to the sky, "10,000 taels, not a penny of silver is sold, love to buy or not!" ”

Yu Xiu still smiled, "Little brother, don't say it so absolutely, we sincerely want to buy it, and I hope that the little brother will also sincerely sell it."

The lazy stall owner snorted coldly, "What books do you buy if you don't have money, you can buy them if you want to, if you don't buy them, leave quickly, don't get in the way of my business!" ”

Rao is Yu Xiu has a good temper, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and lowered his head to ask and look at Xue Baobao.

Yu Xin arranged for him to help in the Xue family's shop, and he could call the shots with a little money, but 10,000 taels, especially when Xue Baobao was still present, he would never dare to make the decision easily.

Xue Baobao seemed to like these books very much, and he naturally didn't dare to be Xue Baobao's master, and told her not to buy them.

Just now, when Yu Xiu and the stall owner were bargaining, Xue Baobao took another book and flipped it, listening to Yu Xiu stopped talking, he raised the book in his hand towards the stall owner, "Little brother, do you have any other books at home, especially medical books or doctor's codex?" ”

The lazy stall owner squinted his eyes and looked her up and down, "No, it's all here." Our family has practiced medicine for generations, and these books have been passed down from our ancestors.

There are also things that were written by the ancestors one by one, and I am not in a hurry to use the money, and I will not take it out and sell it.

Girl, I think you seem to be a knowledgeable person and a person with status, won't you also fight for the ten taels or eight taels of silver with a small person like me? ”

Xue Baobao laughed, turned his head and asked Yu Xiu, "How much silver do we have?" ”

Yu Xiu saw that she really had to spend 10,000 taels to buy some broken books, so he said with difficulty, "I only brought 3,000 taels."

If it weren't for the special purpose of this visit, he wouldn't have put so much silver on his body, and he didn't think that Xue Baobao could spend more money than he imagined.

Three thousand taels is not enough for her to buy a book once!

Should he sigh that the Xue family is really the Xue family?

Xue Baobao reached out and took off the bracelet on his left wrist, "I'll bet the bracelet on you first, and then take out the money to buy books later."

Yu Xiu hurriedly said, "Cousin, it's better to bet some silver first, you don't have to bet your bracelet."

It's not good to keep my daughter's things outside.

Xue Baobao sighed, and asked and looked at the lazy stall owner, "Then, can you bet two thousand taels first?" I may have to buy things, and the money is all bet here, which is inconvenient."

The lazy stall owner obviously didn't expect that she would really spend 10,000 taels to buy her own books and make a deposit with so much money, and she was afraid that she would not agree.

He ahhh ”

This is a joy that goes crazy, and begins to talk nonsense about great benevolence and righteousness.

Xue Baobao put the bracelet back on and instructed Ah Wei, "Go back and get the money, send it back after you get the book, and come to us again."

Ah Wei opened his mouth wide, answered yes in a pit, turned around and ran.

Xue Baobao got up, "Cousin, let's go."

Yu Xiu counted two thousand taels of silver tickets to the lazy stall owner with a toothache, and continued to walk forward as Xue Baobao continued, leaving a place to discuss.

Upstairs, Yang Jinping, was also dumbfounded, and asked in a daze, "Didn't you say that the Xue family's big house had already handed over all the business to the third room?" How can you still be so rich? ”

10,000 taels!

Just buy a few broken books!

If he dares to do this, he will definitely have to kneel in the ancestral hall and receive family law when he goes back!

Yang Jinping said and looked at the treasure building delicately, although this is a prince, he is still a prince with a fiefdom, and he can't afford to spend so much money, right?

He heard that even the emperor didn't dare to spend money at will, let alone spend 10,000 taels to buy books, and reward harem concubines, the emperor rarely rewarded gold and silver, most of them rewarded some worthless clothes and flowers.

Not to mention the prince, I heard that even his daughter's reward for the New Year was to be misappropriated, and he still died and didn't pay it back!

Bao Yuan smiled slightly in Yang Jinping's subtle gaze, "Cousin, what do you want to say?" ”

Obviously, Baobao's smile was still as gentle as usual, almost compassionate, but Yang Jinping inexplicably felt a chill in his back, and shook his head vigorously, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing!" ”

……

……

Early the next morning, before the sky was completely bright, Nanxing sneaked to Xue Baobao's window.

He originally wanted to knock on the window gently and call Xue Baobao up, but he didn't expect that he didn't get close, but he saw Xue Baobao's window wide open, and Xue Baobao was sitting behind the desk in front of the window reading a book.

South Star, "......"

The girl studied so hard, she got up so early to read!

Nanxing was afraid that Xue Baobao would be frightened, so he slightly increased his steps and called the girl from afar.

Xue Baobao sat up quickly, closed the book on the table, put it in his sleeve, and quietly put it into the space of the knife to solve the knife, and hurriedly leaned out half of his body.

Nanxing came to her at this time, and he must have found a clue.

Sure enough, Nanxing hesitated for a while, but still spoke, "Girl, I seem to have seen the mark left by Beiqi."

"Astragalus?"

"It's my twin brother, but he has always been close to protecting his master, how did he get here and leave a mark?

I've been looking at the mark for some time, and it must have come before us."

Nanxing was confused and puzzled, and looked at Xue Baobao for help.

Xue Baobao hurriedly said, "Are you sure?" ”

Without waiting for Nanxing to answer, he said, "Whether you are really sure, take me to see it first."

The mark left by Beiqi was on a reef by the sea, and Xue Baobao and the others searched the surrounding area inside and out, and then found another mark on a low reef exposed after the tide dropped.

It was an English letter "S".

S - south - south.

It was Yu Xin who left behind!

Apart from him, who in this world of red mansions can write English?

My brother wasn't forced to fall into the sea!

He escaped by jumping into the sea!

He even had the energy to mark her!

Xue Baobao cried with joy, and his heart, which had been wrinkled for many days, finally loosened slightly, his brother is fine, his brother is fine!

Nanxing was puzzled, "But that's not right, the direction of the Beiqi mark is to the west, why does Commander Yu make the south mark?" ”

Xue Baobao was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "Look for it in the direction of the Beiqi mark!" ”

Yu Xin's guy must have been afraid that if she really found her, she would encounter the gang that was chasing him, and she would be in danger.

simply pointed her in the wrong direction, but I didn't expect that there was also an Astragalus marked!

It's really dead!

……

……

“…… May when I attain Bodhi in my next life, if I have immeasurable and boundless affection, I will practice Brahmanism in my Dharma...... May I be ...... when I attain Bodhi in the next life"

Under the candlelight, Lin Daiyu's side face was beautiful and dusty, and the sound of chanting was like pearls sprinkled on this filthy world.

Her beautiful face was thin and haggard, and it was almost immediately obvious that she hadn't eaten or slept well for a long time.

The eldest brother was in distress and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and Sister Bao was sad and vomited blood, and chased him away for thousands of miles.

She also wants to follow, even if she can't help, it's good to talk to Sister Bao.

But her father ordered her to be locked in the yard and forbade her to go out and walk around for half a step.

She didn't know what she could do, so she could only recite the sutras over and over again.

Bodhisattva bless, bless my big brother to return safely, bless my sister Bao safe and worry-free......

There was a slight noise outside the window, but Lin Daiyu didn't hear it.

Like many scholars in this time and space, she will read Buddhist scriptures and listen to the lectures of the treasure building, but in her bones she does not believe in Buddhism, and she believes in Confucianism and respects ghosts and gods.

But since Yu Xin was in distress and the news that Xue Baobao left home came, she became extremely religious, worshipping Buddha and chanting scriptures day and night, and everything around her was not in her ears and heart.

The noise outside the window was louder, and it was especially clear in the silence of the night.

Lin Daiyu heard it, but she didn't care, it was already late at night, and the snow goose and the purple juan were sent to sleep by her.

"Bang-"

The sound of the heavy object falling to the ground or falling in the room came, Lin Daiyu was shocked, opened her eyes and turned her head to look.

A large piece of blood came into view, Lin Daiyu squeezed the Buddha beads in her hand suddenly, and only after fixing her mind did she see that the large piece of blood-stained thing should be a person, a person covered in blood.

She squeezed the bead's hand and hurriedly covered her mouth, so that she did not let herself scream, and carefully got up and prepared to escape from the room, for fear of alarming the person.

"Dai-Dai-Yu-"

The hoarse and familiar voice made Lin Daiyu pause suddenly, she turned around and stared at the bloody man in disbelief, and shouted in disbelief, "Big brother? ”

The bloody man who fell to the ground raised his head with difficulty, revealing a face that was particularly beautiful and solemn because of the blood, "Daiyu-"

Lin Daiyu's tears immediately welled up, and she hurriedly ran forward to help Yu Xin.

Yu Xin struggled to hold the ground with his sword with one hand, put the other hand on her shoulder, and pressed most of the weight of his body on her before he could barely stand up.

Lin Daiyu is pampered, where can she carry most of the weight of a big man, half on her back, and almost step by step to support him to go in.

Yu Xin saw that she was going to help herself to the side of the bed, and said in a dumb voice, "Don't go, don't go to bed."

Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth and panted, "Big brother, you are injured like this, go to the bed and lie down first, and I will bandage you."

Yu Xin was in pain all over his body when he moved, and he barely endured the pain and looked around, and found that Lin Daiyu's boudoir was almost full of bookshelves and treasure pavilions, except for books, piano, chess and various antiques.

There is not even a chaise longue that can be placed in most boudoir rooms, so I have to say, "Pedal, put me - put my pedal".

In ancient times, beds would be equipped with foot rests, which were convenient for getting on and off the bed, and it was also convenient for the night watchman to rest.

Since Lin Daiyu got better, she learned that Xue Baobao no longer called the maid to keep vigil, and the pedal was empty at this time.

Lin Daiyu didn't make a sound, panting and carrying Yu Xin directly to the edge of the bed and sitting down, pressing him to lie down.

Seeing that Yu Xin opened his mouth to speak, he interrupted him in a low voice, "Just lie here, I can't sleep tonight."

After saying that, he turned around and left, Yu Xin tried to sit up by himself, so that he could step on his feet, but he couldn't sit up after trying for a long time, but he collapsed a few wounds, and he couldn't help but snort in pain.

At this moment, Lin Daiyu came back again, closed all the doors and windows, closed the curtains tightly, and held a big box in her hand.

The box was given to her by Xue Baobao, just in case.

She originally thought that Xue Baobao was too worried, but she didn't want to use it today.

Lin Daiyu saw Yu Xin struggling to get up, hurriedly pressed his shoulder, and said hurriedly, "Big brother, don't get up first, I'll give you medicine."

Yu Xin hurriedly said, "Call Chuan Wulai."

Lin Daiyu bent down and put the medicine box on the small table next to the bed, opened it, and said, "I asked Chuanwu to deal with the bloodstains left by my eldest brother, Zijuan and Snow Goose were also pampered and raised, but I was afraid that I couldn't stand it, I didn't dare to call them."

She didn't feel at ease, and she didn't dare to fully believe that the pampered maid who grew up, no matter what it was, was afraid that she would have to recruit it after a few boards.

Yu Xin was speechless for a while, Chuanwu, like Awei, had been trained in the Zhenfu Division for many years, and he gave Xue Baobao to be a personal maid.

Only he gave Xue Baobao the first day, and the next day, Xue Baobao gave Chuanwu to Lin Daiyu.

Then he successfully made him angry half to death, and once again doubted who was more important in Xue Baobao's heart, whether it was his own brother or Lin Daiyu, the "sister" who became a monk halfway!

Unexpectedly, Chuan Wu actually helped here.

Yu was so weak that she suddenly woke up when Lin Daiyu approached again with a handkerchief, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to block her.

As soon as he was about to speak, he coughed uncontrollably, and the blood that gushed up immediately overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Daiyu was shocked, "Big brother, it's a matter of urgency—"

Yu Xin coughed again, "Take one of the health pills that the baby gave you, and then sprinkle some hemostatic powder on my wound." You put, rest assured, I haven't died all the way, and I won't die now."
