By Jia Xiuzhen

Chapter 396

Long before Baochai got married, the Xue family gathered all the businesses that could be brought together. They only saw the decline of the Jia family and the downfall of the Wang family, and the historians have been silent for a long time. Don't know it's a piece of fat?By the time Baochai recovered from doing housework, taking care of her own wedding needs, and serving Aunt Xue who had been ill for a long time, most of the important shops had already been emptied.After everything is summed up, after careful calculation, the loss is more than [-]%.Only at this time, I can't take care of a lot.

Aunt Xue wanted to divide the property, but because Xue Pan was in prison, she repeatedly poured money into it to buy peace, and the remaining amount became smaller and smaller.Baochai couldn't bear Aunt Xue's grief, so she only used the part left for her to make up for it, but Tongxi and Tonggui couldn't stand it anymore, so she secretly told Aunt Xue, which caused the mother and daughter to hug their heads and cry loudly. Then my aunt stopped.It's only been getting worse since then.

Baochai's heart is like a mirror. If Xue Pan could be released, he would have been released earlier.Moreover, those people took the money but refused to let Xue Pan's family visit, and they don't know whether Xue Pan benefited from the money spent.

After marrying Baoyu in such a mess, she returned home in three dynasties. Seeing that Aunt Xue was in better spirits, she felt at ease.Baoyu, on the other hand, hadn't seen Aunt Xue for a long time. She was startled when she saw this, and after hearing Ying'er talk about Baochai's difficulties, she felt pity for Baochai in her heart. It's really not helpful at all.

Baochai got married, so naturally she couldn't serve her every day as before. Mrs. Wang originally wanted Aunt Xue to move back to the courtyard of the former Jia's mansion.After Baochai entered the mansion for a few days, she saw the situation clearly and dissuaded Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang also knew what Baochai was jealous of, and she resented Jia She and his wife again in her heart.There was no other way, so I had to send people to visit Aunt Xue every other day, and even sent some old people there to talk with her.When Aunt Xue saw that the Jia family treated her like this, she thought she would not treat Baochai badly, and she felt a little relieved, and her health seemed to improve.

Unexpectedly, in autumn, Xue Pan was still sentenced to death.Baochai was not at home, and there was no one to stop her. As soon as the news came out, Aunt Xue knew about it and passed out on the spot.Mrs. Wang was also very anxious, but Jia Zheng searched countless ways, but failed to make any changes, only then did she realize that her mansion was no longer what it used to be.

On the day when Xue Pan asked to be killed, Aunt Xue cried a few times, and then died at night.When the news came, Baochai burst into tears, Mrs. Wang hugged her, and cried herself dizzy. Both Baoyu and Jia Zheng were helpless, but Jia Amnesty sighed "bad luck" after hearing the news.

There is no one in Xue's family now, but fortunately there is Xue Biao, and Baochai and Baoyu went back to the funeral together. Baoyu has gone through a lot in the past few years, and he can still help Xue Biao with cooking.Baochai cried so much that she was in a daze, so she couldn't be a director.Xue Biao took Xing Xiuyan and Baoqin to accompany Baochai.

After the Lin family accepted the imperial decree, which is hard to find in the world, Lin Ruhai went to the palace a few times, and then resigned to his fate and began to prepare for the marriage.The ruler of Nanzhao should not be in such a hurry, but this kind of thing is really unheard of, there is no precedent to follow, but it also involves state affairs, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are involved in it, and several people will quarrel over the slightest in and out of the ritual system. How many times, how fast? !

Daiyu heard about Xue's family in the deep house, so she went to Lin Ruhai to discuss it. Lin Ruhai said: "Their family and our family have never visited each other for weddings and funerals. It would be inappropriate if we went to express our condolences in person."

Daiyu said: "That being said, it's just that I have been in the garden for a long time, and my aunt has taken good care of me. Besides, Sister Bao has encountered many things now. I want to go and see her, even if I can't persuade her, I want to sit with her for a while." It's good to go back."

Lin Ruhai looked at Daiyu and said, "I know you are soft-hearted, so I didn't discuss this matter with you in detail beforehand. Although the mother and daughter of the Xue family are old with you, it is true that the boy of the Xue family bought a concubine and killed someone. Now he is a father If you are in this position, you miss your old love and want to visit, but others will see it, or you will cry like a cat. After all, if you reach out for your father, the life of this kid from the Xue family will not be saved."

Daiyu said: "How can other people's thoughts be fully guessed and taken into account? How can father bend the law for personal gain in the matter of killing people for their lives? They are confused, so I am also confused. Don't worry, father, I will not care about those gossips anymore."

Lin Ruhai saw that he couldn't be persuaded, so he simply agreed.I only asked Daiyu to bring more people, but it was inconvenient for him to come forward.Unexpectedly, he passed the customs here, and several officials from the Ministry of Rituals came over to dissuade him after hearing the news, but it was because of the saying that "a monarch's marriage is a taboo". Contaminated with the theory of "murderous events"?Even if he dies, he will not refuse, and he will follow the rules of his ancestors, and the etiquette of the country and court.

Lin Ruhai said in her heart, how can your ancestors control me, the king of Nanzhao Kingdom who recruited me? !But in his heart he didn't want Daiyu to go there, so he simply let the Ministry of Rites make a fuss. Daiyu still had a relationship with his father, but he couldn't talk to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, so he had no choice but to give up.We had no choice but to ask Madam Xin to bring someone to offer condolences.

When Baoyu heard that Nanny Xin had brought someone, she forgot about it for a while, and just wanted to go over and ask Daiyu how she was doing.On the day of his marriage, because the Lin family had just received the imperial decree, Lin Ruhai didn't come over to show his face, and the wedding was never over, and Daiyu couldn't even leave the house.After all, he hadn't seen Daiyu for a long time, and he also heard about the imperial decree, so he was even more anxious for Daiyu. It was so easy to meet people around Daiyu, so there was no reason not to inquire about her.

Sister Xin and the others only offered the funeral ceremony, and after offering incense and burning paper, they went inside to meet Baochai, brought a message for Daiyu, and hurried away.When Baoyu goes inside, where can anyone be found?Looking at his expression, Baochai naturally knew what he was thinking, but now that she was exhausted physically and mentally, she really couldn't control his thoughts anymore.

Xue Pan was in a terrible funeral, and Xue's family didn't have a family temple in the capital, so they could only stay in Yizhuang outside the city. Aunt Xue died after 21 days of mourning. He helped the coffin back to the south, so that his mother and brother could be buried in the earth as soon as possible.

Xing Xiuyan asked Xue Biao to close the Beijing-China business early in the morning, and with the matter of Baoqin, he wanted to go back to the south.Now, after hearing Baochai's suggestion, I packed up in three or five days, hired a boat, brought all the men, and took the boat south before the river was closed.When they arrived in Jinling, the coffins of Aunt Xue and Xue Pan were buried in the ancestral tomb of Xue's family. After everything was settled, they wrote to Baochai to clarify.Since then, the Xue family has no roots in Beijing, and several generations of imperial merchants have disappeared in one day.

Baochai calculated the time, but the letter arrived quite late. She thought it might be because Xue Biao had to deal with so many affairs at the moment, and he had no skills at all.But he didn't expect that Xue's family name was outside, and even the return of the coffin to the south was missed.

When Xue Biao and his party traveled to Ping'an Prefecture by boat, they encountered water thieves.Xue Biao had planned to go south this time for a long time. According to Xing Xiuyan's idea, he borrowed the boats of Wang's family to go south several times, and shipped most of the property back to Jinling. Among them, Baoqin brought the dowry to Beijing that day.He sold all the rest of the clumsy belongings, and deposited them in the bank for bank notes to carry with him.

Seeing that the boat was empty, the group of thieves was very annoyed, and one of them shouted: "If nothing else, wouldn't there be something valuable in Mrs. Xue's coffin? Brothers, break it open for me, and return it to me." Save yourself digging the soil!"

Xue Biao was furious when he heard this, but there were so many thieves and there were not enough manpower on his side. Seeing those people want to do something, he was at a loss what to do.Fortunately, the noise of yelling, cursing and beating disturbed the night passers-by on the pier, who asked for help.The servants immediately shouted for help, and several of them flew down to fight with the thieves.The thieves were defeated and fled. Xue Biao and his party were in shock for a while, so they let people hold the lamp, and thanked the benefactor face to face.

At first sight, there was an acquaintance among them, it was Liu Xianglian.When Liu Xianglian heard Xue Biao say that the coffins in the cabin were Aunt Xue and Xue Pan, she couldn't help shedding tears, and immediately burned incense and paper, and worshiped once.

With tears in his eyes, Xue Biao said: "Brother didn't recognize you in vain. You saved him once when he returned to Beijing. Now that he returns to the south, you have to save him. It's also your fate."

A few people sat down and talked, only to realize that Liu Xianglian and a few fellow friends had discovered something in Ping'an Prefecture, and were about to investigate carefully, and they found this group of water thieves, just happened to meet today.Xue Biao was afraid that the group of people would go and return, so he begged Liu Xianglian to go south together.Liu Xianglian and the others were originally prodigal sons, so the so-called investigation is just relying on the boldness of a skilled person.Seeing Xue Biao's invitation and the old relationship with Xue's family, he agreed and protected them all the way south.

Xue Biao didn't mention this matter at all in his letter to Baochai. First, the matter has passed, and it is of no benefit to mention it to make Baochai worry in vain. This has happened for a long time, and I'm afraid there will be more involvement in the future. Xue Biao, a businessman, naturally knows that it is better to avoid such things.

Both Xue Pan and Aunt Xue went, and Baochai asked Xue Biao to ask the servants at home about their wishes, and those who were willing to go back to the south with Xue Biao were assigned to go back with the boat.It's okay for others, only Third Sister You makes her worry.If you want to talk about guarding, she is not a wife, so what's the matter with guarding like this, if you say not to guard, even though she didn't come to kowtow once after Aunt Xue died, she guarded Xue Pan all day long in Yizhuang.She even went to collect Xue Pan's body that day.

Just not knowing how to deal with it, the third sister You disappeared after boarding Xue Pan's coffin and returning to the south. Baochai sent people to search for it several times but failed to find it, so she had to give up.She only looked at Third Sister You's affection for Xue Pan, and she really didn't seem to be going to leave and follow others, so she kept Xue's house and a few old servants, thinking that she might come back someday.

On the day Xue Pan asked about the cut, Jiao Yun went to see it, and when he came back, he talked to Xiangling and Feng Shi about how Xiangling's current situation was decided, so naturally he was not very emotional, but Feng Shi gritted his teeth and said: "Whenever the day comes, the heads of Jiayu Village will also fall to the ground, that's the law of nature."

Jiao Yun quickly said: "That man is still locked up in Dali Temple, I'm afraid he won't last long. A real hero, who is ruthless and ruthless, who wins people for others, is not blood-stained. Otherwise, he If you don’t have any roots or roots, you can become a great Sima.”

Feng sighed: "Those who are shameless and devoid of conscience occupy power and power, and ordinary people have nothing to do. If God really has eyes, how can he not send retribution!"

Xiang Ling supported Feng Shi and said: "Mother, just wait and see, the time has not come yet, when the time comes, none of them will be able to escape."

A few days later, Xiangling heard about the return of the Xue family to the south, and Xiangling thought of Third Sister You. Hearing that the Xue family was also looking for her, Jiao Yun said: "As soon as the Huangshang sect is gone, it will be gone if you say goodbye. You used to say that this fellow The daughters of the Xia family are different, you see, they fly separately when disaster strikes."

But Xiang Ling frowned and shook her head, "She's a very difficult person to describe, she always acts unexpectedly, it's hard to understand with common sense."

Jiao Yun saw that the affairs of Xue's family were all over, so he asked about Xiangling's return to the south, Xiangling said: "You can make it here?"

Jiao Yun was also hesitant. After all, he is a member of the Xining Palace. Even though he is not a slave, it is difficult for him to leave.After thinking for a while, he said: "I will go to see the prince tomorrow, and if the prince agrees, no one will stop me."

But Xiangling shook her head and said: "Forget it, if you don't go to him, he won't remember you. If you show up, I don't know what will happen. If the son doesn't say anything, even the group around him will be too. There are many people who are distracted, so why attract their attention for nothing.”

Jiao Yun looked at her and said, "Then we won't be able to go back to the south."

Xiangling smiled and said, "Just wait a little longer."

Jiao Yun was puzzled, Xiangling thought for a while and said slightly, "The Xining Palace is very close to the old Taoist of Miaoyun Temple, I think that old Taoist is an evil person, they are poking their heads into the tiger's mouth Well. You just wait, there will be troubles in the future. When they are too busy to take care of themselves, who cares if we leave. "

Jiao Yun heard her speak mysteriously, but now whether he believes it or not, he can't get away with it, so he can just calm down and wait, it's just for Feng's general to take care of him for a while.
