Chapter 159 The master and servant who stole the book
afternoon.
Rongguofu Lixiangyuan.
Xue Pan was leaning on the couch in his bedroom, with a beautiful maid standing behind him squeezing his shoulders, and a beautiful maid standing in front of him feeding him snacks and fruits.
When Aunt Xue persuaded Xue Pan to give Xiang Ling to Jia Yun, she said that by giving Xiang Ling, Xue Pan could go out and buy another good maid. Even if she bought two, she would not blame her.
Xue Pan was not polite about this and spent a lot of money to buy two beautiful maids.
Next to him sat Jia Rui, who was dressed as a scholar. He was wearing a cross-collar Confucian shirt with a collar guard, a square scarf on his head, and soap shoes.
Jia Rui was reading a book of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" to Xue Pan. During the process, he secretly glanced at the two pretty maids standing in front of and behind Xue Pan. He was so envious in his heart!
"Oh, this idiot Xue does whatever he wants just because his family has money. If I can get such a beautiful maid, my life will not be in vain!"
Jia Rui thought jealously.
He usually fawned over Xue Pan respectfully and asked for money, wine and meat. In fact, he despised Xue Pan in his heart. He thought that Xue Pan was useless except for having money in his family.
Although he, Jia Rui, had nothing to offer and had been studying for many years and could not even pass the Tongsheng test, he felt that he was pretty awesome in his heart and that he was also a handsome guy in appearance.
"Read it quickly, why did you stop?" Xue Pan scolded Jia Rui.
Jia Rui smiled flatteringly: "Brother Pan, you see I have been reciting for half an hour and my mouth is dry. Can you please let me have a sip of tea first?"
Xue Pan nodded.
Jia Ruide pressed forward: "Can you help your girl to pour me a cup of tea?"
Even if you don't get a beautiful maid, it's a pleasure to be served by a beautiful maid and drink a cup of tea.
Xue Pan didn't think much and immediately asked a maid to pour a cup of tea for Jia Rui. Jia Rui smiled happily and said to the maid: "Thank you very much, girl. I will drink every drop of the tea that the girl poured herself."
The maid chuckled and gave Jia Rui a wink while Xue Pan wasn't paying attention. Jia Rui was immediately elated.
There's drama!
Xue Pan became impatient: "Drink quickly, and continue reading to me after drinking. If you listen for another half hour, I will go to a restaurant to drink, and after drinking, I will go to a brothel."
Jia Rui's eyes lit up: "I wonder who Pan brother is drinking with today? Can you take me with you?"
Xue Pan said: "You are not participating in this banquet today. You are all distinguished sons."
Jia Rui was depressed when he heard this. He was depressed because he couldn't have sex or brothels today, and he was also depressed about Xue Pan's attitude towards him. Although Xue Pan spent some money on him, he never regarded him as a friend.
, as if he were a slave.
"If there are two pretty maids in the house, it would be normal for the family to look for flowers and ask for help. If I had two pretty maids in the house, I wouldn't do it. It would be proper to get along with the maids at home day and night! Humph, you idiot Xue, don't do that.
Seeing as how proud you are now, something will happen sooner or later!"
Jia Rui cursed Xue Pan quietly in his heart.
Under the depression, Jia Rui's reading voice became weaker and feeble. Even if the plot of the story moved Xue Pan, hearing such a feeble voice, Xue Pan soon didn't want to listen anymore, not to mention that he was still thinking about today's banquet.
.
"That's it, I won't listen anymore."
Xue Pan waved his hand, sat up from the couch, and changed his clothes under the service of two pretty maids.
Jia Rui looked jealously at Xue Pan who was being served and changed, and said flatteringly: "Brother Pan, I will borrow five more books today."
Xue Pan was dissatisfied: "You have asked me to borrow it several times. You are not annoyed, but I am. If you like it, why don't you buy a set yourself?"
Xue Pan is a generous and loyal person. The problem is that in his eyes, people like Jia Rui are not friends. He has recently become obsessed with "Dragon Babu" and Jia Rui has borrowed books from him several times.
, which bored him.
Jia Rui became embarrassed. A set of "Dragon Babu", even in paperback, cost more than twenty taels of silver. To Xue Pan, this amount of money was nothing, but to him, Jia Rui, it was very expensive.
.
In fact, Jia Rui recently got more than fifty taels of silver from Xue Pan, but he spent all the money on eating, drinking, and having fun, so how could he be willing to use it to buy "The Eight Parts of the Dragon"?
Amid the embarrassment, Jia Rui laughed and said, "Today is the last time. I only have the last five volumes left to finish reading "The Eight Parts of the Dragon"."
Xue Pan said: "That's all, I'll let you borrow it one last time, but you are not allowed to borrow it from me again in the future."
Jia Rui had a smile on his face but felt depressed in his heart.
At the beginning, he instigated Xue Pan to buy a set of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", not only intending to borrow it to read it himself, but he even planned to get the set of books from Xue Pan in the future and rent them to others to make money.
"Dragon Babu" is very popular in Shenjing City, and there are some people around Jia Rui who like it very much.
However, Xue Pan's love for "Tian Long Ba Bu" exceeded Jia Rui's expectations. This time he said that Jia Rui would not be allowed to borrow it again in the future, and half of Jia Rui's plans would be ruined.
…
…
Outside the house where Xue Pan lives, a charming and lovely Ying'er stands in the corner.
When Xue Pan took Jia Rui home before, Ying'er stood here waiting. Now she is still waiting, having been furtively waiting for more than half an hour.
Finally, Xue Pan and Jia Rui left at this time.
Ying'er hurried back to Xue Baochai's boudoir and said to Xue Baochai who was doing acupuncture: "Girl, I'm gone."
Xue Baochai smiled brightly: "We will go there in a while."
Ying'er said "hmm".
After a while, Xue Baochai stood up and said, "Let's go there."
Ying'er said "Hey".
The master and servant arrived at the house where Xue Pan lived. After walking in, Xue Pan's two pretty maids hurriedly greeted him respectfully: "The girl is here."
Xue Baochai smiled and nodded, and led Ying'er directly to Xue Pan's bedroom. The two pretty maids did not dare to stop him.
According to the usual practice, Ying'er stood guard at the door of the bedroom, and Xue Baochai found five volumes of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon".
These five volumes are volumes 41 to 45, which Jia Rui just returned to Xue Pan today.
Xue Baochai has been feeling depressed recently.
When she was half way through "Dragon Movie", she caught up with Jia Rui's progress in reading the book, but she didn't want to skip reading, so every time she had to wait until Jia Rui finished reading and returned the book.
She could continue watching only after Xue Pan.
That's the case this time.
Xue Baochai had already read volume 40 before, but volumes 41 to 45 were borrowed by Jia Rui, so she could only wait for Jia Rui to return the book before she could continue reading.
At that moment, Xue Baochai hid three volumes of books in his clothes, and let Ying'er hide the remaining two volumes in her clothes, and then the two of them walked out of Xue Pan's house.
Although the master and servant had done this kind of thing many times before, Xue Baochai still felt ashamed. She had never thought that one day she would not only peek at a banned book like "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", but even "steal books".
Ying'er felt guilty as a thief, but also found it funny.
She never thought before that her master Xue Baochai would do such a thing one day.
However, Ying'er is not surprised that Xue Baochai loves "Dragon Babu" so much. She also fell in love with this martial arts novel.
Due to Ying'er's literacy level, she could not read "The Eight Parts of the Dragon". She fell in love with this martial arts novel through Xue Baochai. Xue Baochai did not read it to her sentence by sentence, unlike Jia Rui and Xue Pan, who just told the story
The plot was told to her in detail, and even so, she fell in love with it.
Both the master and the servant love "Dragon Babu", and the reasons for their love are also the same.
For example, this martial arts novel reminded both of them of the scene when Jia Yun saved their beauty, and how easily Jia Yun killed the gangster that day. Both of them felt that Jia Yun was like a master knight in the martial arts novel.
.
For another example, both of them love Qiao Feng and A'Zhu in the book, and they are both CP fans of this couple.
At this moment, Xue Baochai and Ying'er returned to the boudoir with the five volumes of books they had just stolen.
Ying'er urged: "Girl, read it quickly. After reading it, tell me the stories in these books."
Xue Baochai smiled brightly, sat by the desk and started to read, not forgetting to tell Ying'er to guard the door.
The five-volume book contains 100,000 words, and she can finish it tonight.
After Xue Baochai watched for a while, Aunt Xue, who had gone to Rongqing Hall to chat with Jia Mu, came back. At Ying'er's reminder, Xue Baochai hurriedly hid the book.
Aunt Xue said: "My good daughter, brother Yun just went to see the old lady."
Xue Baochai and Yinger immediately became concerned.
Qin Keqing's maids Ruizhu and Baozhu both have a favorable impression of Jia Yun, but Ying'er has a much more favorable impression of Jia Yun than these two.
This kind of thing is not surprising at all. In this era, a young, capable and heroic man like Jia Yun is easily liked by the maids, not to mention that Jia Yun has saved Ying'er's life.
Xue Baochai asked: "Mom, why did the old lady call him here this time?"
Xue Baochai knew that Jia Mu would call Jia Yun here from time to time.
Aunt Xue said: "The old lady didn't ask him to come this time, he came by himself. He came to pay homage to the ancestral hall and to say goodbye to the old lady."
Xue Baochai was confused: "Farewell? Where is he going?"
Aunt Xue said with emotion: "The world is unpredictable. Brother Touliyun recommended Mr. Qin Ye in front of the emperor, and made Mr. Qin the coal patrol censor and promoted him two levels. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin suddenly suddenly happened in recent days.
He died in Huainan. It was said that he had an accident while inspecting the coal mine."
"This time Brother Yun received instructions from the emperor and went south to Huainan to investigate the matter. He also went to investigate the local private coal dealers in Huainan."
Although Aunt Xue regarded Qin Keqing as Xue Baochai's competitor, she also knew that as soon as Qin Ye died, Qin Keqing's competitiveness in marrying Jia Yun suddenly became much weaker.
But Aunt Xue is really sorry for Qin Ye's death now.
Ying'er couldn't help but ask: "Grandma, how long will Mr. Yun have to go this time?"
Aunt Xue said: "Brother Yun said it could be as short as a month or as long as a few months."
Xue Baochai and Ying'er are heartbroken and may not see him for several months.
Xue Baochai also felt a little regretful that she did not go to Rongqing Hall with Aunt Xue this afternoon and missed the opportunity to meet him.
