In the main room, tea was served, Aunt Xue took two sips, and then called Xiu Ying to her side and talked. asked about his background, age, praised a few words, and asked Li Weijian about his life.

Baochai sat aside, holding a steaming teacup, looking around. This small courtyard is quite quiet, with only a dozen rooms, which is not as good as Lixiang Courtyard. There are three main rooms, the west is the warm pavilion, and the east is the study. The study was only partitioned by wooden shelves, and through the gaps, you could see inside.

There are some books stacked on the shelves, and some books and notes are scattered on the table. There were also knives and bows hanging on the wall, and at a glance, Baochai couldn't help but think of the figure standing on the bow of the ship that day.

When I came back to my senses, I heard my mother say, "I see that you are close, and there are no outsiders left and right, so you don't need to make rules, and you moved a stool to talk." ”

Xiu Ying refused, but in the end she responded. Moved the embroidery pier and sat down carefully.

Aunt Xue said, "Yesterday...... Brother Frugal was ambushed? I heard that it was still your strength to take those murderers? What's going on here? ”

"Yes." Xiu Ying told the story of last night.

Aunt Xue had already heard her mother-in-law relay it, and after hearing it, she hurriedly asked, "How did I hear that the second son of the Yan Shilang family was also present?" It doesn't hurt, does it? ”

"No ......" Xiu Ying felt that something was wrong as soon as the words came out, but fortunately, she was just naïve, not really stupid, so she took the opportunity to say: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I was injured by the murderer." ”

"Yo, isn't it amazing?"

"It's not powerful, but the second son is very angry."

Aunt Xue frowned suddenly, her heart was bad, and she was confused for a while, but she had no follow-up words.

Baochai said to Xiuying on the side: "Fourth Brother Jian and the second son seem to have a very good relationship, have you known each other for a long time?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be," Xiu Ying said honestly: "The son took the worship post to visit the young master that day, and then he got acquainted with the second son." But Childe said they saw it first...... ...... at first sight"

"Hit it off at first sight?" Baochai Road.

"Well, yes. That's what Childe said. Xiu Ying replied, and added oil and vinegar to say: "I think that the son is also valued by the young master, so that the second son can communicate with him." ”

has successively won the letter of the squire of the Criminal Department and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Li Weijian's talent and learning can be seen, and the coming day is just around the corner. However, the Xue family couldn't wait, so she could only put out her thoughts.

Thinking of this section, Baochai couldn't help but be gloomy. really responded to that sentence - everything is fate, and no one can help it.

His mind was spinning, and he was about to say something on the side, when he heard the sound of the door outside, and the rough maid shouted: "Sister Xiuying, the fourth master is back!" ”

Xiu Ying hurriedly got up to confess her guilt and went out to greet her. Aunt Xue and Baochai also got up and greeted each other at the door.

Baochai stood in front of the door, watching the figure get closer, and his heart became more and more sour. She was afraid of being looked at, so she hurriedly lowered her head and only silently gritted her teeth.

Li Weijian stepped forward quickly, and seemed to have a mirror in his heart, but he pretended not to know and asked, "Why are Aunt and Sister Xue here?" ”

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I sent my mother-in-law to look for it early in the morning, but Brother Jian went out on an errand." I have nothing to do, so I'll be a villain this time, don't be weird with Brother Frugal. ”

"Where's Mrs. Auntie? Aunt and Sister Xue are such distinguished guests, I can't invite them. ”

After greetings, Li Weijian suddenly caught a glimpse of a maid beside Baochai, with a little rouge hemorrhoids in his eyebrows, and couldn't help but look at it twice, and said in his heart that it was Xiangling. Seeing that her face is three points like Daiyu, and she is a little bit like that Qin Keqing, and she is born dignified, no wonder Xue Pan killed someone for her.

Li Weijian's attention instantly fell in Baochai's eyes, and she couldn't help but glance at Xiangling.

Li Weijian staggered his gaze and said with a smile: "It's cold outside, let's go into the house to talk." ”

Everyone entered the main room and sat down separately, Aunt Xue smiled and said seriously: "I came to look for Brother Frugal today, I came to be annoyed." As soon as Pan'er eats and drinks, she makes a mistake, and she offends Brother Jian if she doesn't want to. was supposed to come over that day, but it happened that the inner government had something to discuss, so it was delayed. ”

Where is Li Weijian willing to believe such scenes?

Unhappiness flashed slightly on his face, and then he smiled: "The matter is over, why is Mrs. Auntie mentioning it?" ”

"This ......"

Aunt Xue looked at Li Weijian's posture, and it was clear that she hadn't passed. If he doesn't pick up the stubble, how can he say this in the future? Aunt Xue was in trouble, so she had to look at Baochai as if asking for help.

Baochai sighed secretly and said, "Fourth Brother Jian, can you let people step down, I have some things that are not good for outsiders to hear." ”

Li Weijian nodded, glanced at Qingwen and Hongyu, and the two maids pulled the stunned Xiuying and retreated.

The maid and mother-in-law dispersed in the blink of an eye, and only Li Weijian, Aunt Xue, and Baochai were left in the house.

Baochai pulled Aunt Xue to get up, and solemnly bowed to Li Weijian: "Fourth brother ...... frugality"

"Huh?" Li Weijian hurriedly got up and avoided it: "What did you say?" ”

Baochai bit her lower lip and said, "My mother and I came to compensate Fourth Brother Jian." My brother is not bad-minded, but he always loves to make mistakes. After eating the beating of the fourth brother that day, I felt a little unhappy in my heart, and I told a few people in Dongfu when I was eating wine the next day. Don't want to...... That's what happened last night. ”

Li Weijian's face was extremely exciting, first surprised, then relieved, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Why bother? Why is that? ”

Baochai said: "It's all my brother's, and when I turned around, my mother and I drove my brother to annoy the fourth brother Jian." If the fourth brother is not angry, he will be beaten or punished, and it is all up to the fourth brother to decide. Just ask for frugality, the fourth brother is not going to annoy the Xue family. ”

Li Weijian sighed and said, "Sister Xue has said this, what else do I have to say?" This matter has been revealed, let's start over. ”

Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "You can't be wronged Brother Jian'er, I heard that Brother Jian'er is injured, and there are a lot of good medicinal materials stored in my storehouse, so I just sent some to Brother Jian'er." ”

Baochai heard the words and deeds to the door, called Ying'er, brought a few oiled paper bags, and gently placed them on the table.

Li Weijian said, "No need", but Aunt Xue wanted to send it forcibly. After some tugging, Li Weijian accepted it in the end.

When she sat down again, Aunt Xue had some confidence in her heart, and she spoke smoothly, and said, "Since Brother Jian is not annoyed, can you withdraw the case?" If you find out that there is a case at home, you are afraid that it will not be beautiful. ”

Xue Baochai also had the experience of entering the palace as a palace maid? Did the TV series play out?

This time, Li Weijian looked at Baochai in great surprise. Baochai glanced at him, and he didn't know whether he would be wrong or ashamed, so he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it.

Li Weijian came back to his senses and said, "Since Mrs. Aunt has opened her mouth, I have nothing to do. It's just that...... I'm afraid I can't be the master of this matter now. After a pause, he said: "Yesterday, it happened that Yan Fengzhen sent him off, and the murderer suddenly attacked, and Xiuying and I didn't notice it for a while, and let the murderer hurt him."

My aunt's wife also knows that the second son of the Shao Si Kou family has been clothed and fed since he was a child, how could he have such an experience? If you don't get rid of the anger in your heart, I'm afraid that this case will be difficult to withdraw. ”

"Huh? Didn't Brother Jian become friends with the second son, and he hit it off at first sight? Can't persuade and persuade? ”

Li Weijian shook his head and smiled: "My aunt is joking, I have only been in Beijing for a few days, and how much affection do I have at first sight?" The matter ...... It's hard. ”

"This-" Aunt Xue hurriedly grabbed Li Weijian's hand on the table and pleaded: "Brother Jian, it's better to persuade and persuade first." The Xue family is just a man, but nothing can happen. If the persuasion is successful, Brother Frugal, but there is something he wants, and what the Xue family has, I will give it all. ”

Li Weijian's heart moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help but glance at Baochai. Sister Bao is dignified and elegant, looking at IKEA and IKEA. He thought about it, if Baochai wanted to make a promise to him at this time, he didn't know what Aunt Xue would think.

However, taking advantage of people's danger is against people's design, but he can't say what he did.

His glance made Baochai's heart skip a beat. Almost instantly, the same thought as Li Weijian was born: If the fourth brother of Jian proposes marriage, then ......

Unconsciously, Xia Fei's cheeks were scattered, and Baochai's hands were secretly twisted in one place.

Li Weijian said: "Since Mrs. Aunt said this, then I will try my best, whether it succeeds or not, Mrs. Aunt should not blame me afterwards." ”

Aunt Xue was overjoyed: "Where is it?" I only have gratitude in my heart, Brother Jian'er, then I will wait for your letter. ”

After a little bit of discussion, Aunt Xue took Baochai up and said goodbye. Li Weijian sent it to the door, and it was not until Aunt Xue and Baochai entered the East Corner Gate that they turned around and returned.

He couldn't help sneering in his heart, he looked down on himself before, but now he came to burn incense when he had something to do, heh, it's too late!

Persuade? No problem, if you don't persuade Xue Pan to go to prison, wouldn't he Li Weijian be able to calculate his head?

It's just that this matter should not be rushed, and it is better to delay it for a while. When the pump is built, he is deeply bound to the Yan family, so that he can operate from it.

By the way, there are Jia Rong and Jia Qiang here. These two bastards will not be able to find mistakes and omissions for a while and a half, and there is no hurry, there will always be a time to return it.

Entering the main room, Xiu Ying was gesturing beads on her bun, turned around and caught a glimpse of Li Weijian coming in, and immediately stepped forward to show her merits: "Son, I almost said that I missed my mouth today, but fortunately I reacted and covered up the past." Mrs. Aunt and Miss Bao were not suspicious. ”

"Well done, I knew you could do it."

Xiu Ying patted her chest and said, "Childe doesn't know, I was so scared that my heart almost jumped out." ”

Li Weijian glanced at it, and said in his heart, this is nonsense, but it is just a sharp corner, where did it jump out?

He sat down on the chair in the past, and Qingwen came over with a cold face and said, "Mrs. Aunt also has a real face, the fourth master saved their family before, so Uncle Xue is not grateful...... also has a dirty heart, and deserves to be taught a lesson by the fourth master. As a result, he didn't repent, and even called a strong man to plot against the fourth master! ”

Although Qingwen retreated just now, there was a lot of talk in the room, and she listened to a few mouthfuls sporadically, and then she thought about it. The little girl has no sand in her eyes, and she is angry, and her milk is fierce.

"If you want me to say, the fourth master shouldn't agree. Let Shuntianfu detain Uncle Xue, so that in the future, cats and dogs can be calculated on the head of the fourth master. ”

Li Weijian smiled and said: "You, you can say this in the house, but it's not good to say it outside." ”

Qingwen stiffened her neck and said, "The sky and the earth are big, and the truth is the greatest." I just said it, outsiders will only say that the Xue family is not. ”

"The Xue family is down, no, I am annoyed and angry, and I will come to look for you. Don't forget that my aunt and wife are sisters. ”

Qingwen stopped talking, and knew in her heart that Li Weijian was for her good.

At this moment, Hongyu saw someone coming in from outside, and hurriedly went to the door to see clearly, and then turned his head and said, "Fourth master, Su Yun from the eldest grandmother's side is here." ”

"Oh?"

In a moment, Su Yun walked in quickly. Seeing the ceremony, he hurriedly said: "I only learned today that the fourth master was ambushed last night, and the eldest grandmother was in a hurry, so she sent someone to inquire about it, and only then did she feel relieved when she learned that the fourth master was safe and sound."

Originally, the eldest grandmother was going to come over, but this time she was teaching the three girls. Thinking that I had just been here before, there were many people, and it was always difficult to come too often, so I asked me to come and see the fourth master. ”

Li Weijian said: "I'm fine, let the eldest sister bother." ”

"It's okay for the fourth master to be fine, then I won't stay longer."

Su Yun stooped down, said goodbye and left, and Li Weijian hurriedly asked Hongyu to give her a ride.

After drinking tea, Li Weijian was about to get up and go to the study, but Hongyu led a person in.

Li Weijian took a look, with a small burden on his body, and a little rouge hemorrhoids in his eyebrows, isn't this Xiangling?

"This ...... It seems to be the maid next to his aunt's wife? ”

Hongyu was a little depressed, and said, "Her name is Xiangling," and turned her head to look at Xiangling, "You better say it yourself." ”

Xiangling said in a low voice: "Mrs. said that the fourth master was injured, and she was afraid that there would not be enough people to serve her, so she sent me to serve the fourth master." ”

Ruby was so angry that she was about to smoke. There was already a fox in the fourth master's room, Qingwen, and now there is a Xiangling who is not inferior to Qingwen, where will she have a day of progress in the future?

Li Weijian thought to himself, I am afraid that this is Baochai's idea. I didn't take a second look, and then I turned my head and sent the person to me. I just don't know how many times I look at Baochai when I look back, and Aunt Xue is reluctant to send Baochai too.

Xiangling was silent for a long time, never listened to Li Weijian, and took out a deed from her bosom, walked lightly in front of Li Weijian, and put the deed on the table.

"Fourth master, this is my deed." (Note 1)

Li Weijian put away the deed, he knew Xiangling's life experience, but it was not easy to destroy the deed. The Great Shun Law has never been converted into a good name, and those who destroy the deed are regarded as fugitive slaves.

He felt pity for Xiangling in his heart, thinking that he would always find his biological mother in the coming day and reunite his flesh and blood.

"Then stay, Ruby, you take her to settle down."

No matter how Hongyu is, this son also has a little temperament, and said: "Fourth master, I'm afraid that the West Chambers won't be able to settle down, so Xiangling can only go to the East Chambers first to make do." ”

Li Weijian said: "Didn't Qingwen want to stay in my room?" Let Xiangling go to the West Chamber, and then talk about it if she can't live in the future. ”

Hongyu answered, pursed her mouth, and then led Xiangling to settle down.

Everything stopped, Li Weijian went to the study to write and paint. After being busy for a while, Bendao has nothing to do today, but unexpectedly, Hongyu came to say something again.

"Fourth master, I just heard the mother-in-law who passed by say that today is the second girl's child."

Li Weijian said: "This is bad, I will only know this time, but I am afraid that it will be too late to prepare a congratulatory gift." (Note 2)

Note 1: It is not indicated in the original book whether Xiangling has a deed or not. There are all kinds of arguments, although I believe that Xue Pan robbed people, and it was too late to pass the contract, but in order to facilitate the development of the plot, this book adopts the former statement.

Note 2: Jiafu is the fourth spring birthday, the first day of January in Yuanchun, and the third day of March in Tanchun, and the mainstream view is that the second day of February and the fourth day of April are cherished in spring.
