The seat under the south window is covered with a large red felt, and against the east wall there is a brocade backrest and a pillow, a large cushion of green shiny satin with a gold heart, and a carved lacquered spit box next to it.
In the middle sat a woman who was still charming. She looked at the stewards in the hall with a smile, "Since the master passed away, thanks to everyone's help over the years, our family has not been in decline."
"Madam, I love you, but little people only know how to be loyal to the Lord and don't dare to be greedy for credit."
Mrs. Xue had a smile on her face. She didn't know what she was thinking. In fact, she also knew that these people were in charge of her own business and their hands and feet were dirty, but she had no choice.
After the death of her husband, the youngest son Xue Pan lost his father at an early age. I felt sorry for him because he was an orphan, so he spoiled and indulged him until he became an incompetent son. Although he had gone to school, he only knew a few words, and he only played cockfights, horseback riding, and toured the mountains all day long.
Just water.
In the final analysis, these people in front of them are just domestic slaves. If they really let relatives from distant relatives come to help, then all the tens of thousands of yuan of family property may be defrauded.
How much can a domestic slave be greedy for ink?
Relatives are much more ruthless than these domestic slaves. It is possible for him and Xue Pan Baochai to go to the street to beg for food.
"I don't know why, but I've been feeling restless lately. I've been thinking about it for a while, so I might as well take Xue Pan and Baochai to my uncle's house to stay for a while. You must abide by your duties and run a good business, and don't let us, master and servant, be in trouble.
mutual affection."
"Don't worry, madam, we won't dare to get tired."
"That's good." Mrs. Xue waved her hand, and everyone stood up and slowly retreated.
The Xue family's lawsuit was settled with Jia Yucun's mediation.
This was something that everyone expected and did not cause any waves.
But immediately, Mrs. Xue summoned the stewards of the house and announced a major event.
She was going to take her whole family to live in Jia's Mansion for a while. Mrs. Xue asked a few confidants. After they left, she couldn't hide it anymore and announced it to the outside world.
When the news spread, several stewards of the Xue family had evil intentions and were secretly happy.
Over the years, since the death of Xue Pan's father, all the business bureaus, general managers, clerks, etc. in various provinces, seeing that Xue Pan was young and ignorant of worldly affairs, took advantage of the opportunity to kidnap him. Several businesses in Kyoto were gradually depleted, and he was known as Xue Pan.
Fool.
Except for the few closest confidants, the other stewards did not know that the master's family was not going to Jia's Mansion this time, but to Bianliang.
Naturally, Li Yu didn't need to tidy up. When he set out from Bianliang, he brought a bamboo hat and a treasure book.
This is especially true for Xiao Qiao, who only has a bracelet and a Taoist robe on his body, and the Taoist robe belongs to Li Yu.
When they arrived at the inner courtyard of Xue Mansion, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
After the motorcade left, a huge crowd stretched out, including hundreds of maids alone.
These little girls are chirping, chattering, and you can hear them chewing their tongues from miles away.
When can this group of people arrive in Bianliang?
Li Yu himself knew that this trip was more about escaping for his life than a long journey.
In the crowd, he quickly saw Xue Pan directing there. Li Yu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Why are there so many people?"
Xue Pan said proudly: "Is the appearance of our Xue Mansion okay?"
Li Yu rolled his eyes, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, you are like this"
He spoke carefully in Xue Pan's ear, and Xue Pan frowned and said, "Why is this?"
"Just do as I say, otherwise you won't be able to leave."
Xue Pan thought about the person who was secretly harming him, and if he realized something, he said: "Okay, I will listen to you."
The Xue family's motorcade slowly and leisurely headed to the Jia Mansion. Mrs. Xue was in a very good mood in the carriage.
We were about to meet the sisters. Although I don’t know why the little Taoist leader took his son and daughter to leave first, he also wanted to go as slowly as possible and pay homage to all the temples and Taoist temples he encountered.
Jia Baoyu's mother and Mrs. Xue are biological sisters. They are both ladies of the Wang family. They have been close to each other since childhood, but they rarely meet each other after they get married.
She was thinking about her sister, and also thinking about her son and daughter having the opportunity to practice Taoism, and she felt really good.
"The Buddha statues sent by my sister are indeed very effective. After I live in Jia Mansion for a while, I will go to Bianliang to have a look. Otherwise, having a son and a daughter outside will always make people uneasy."
As night fell, there was a sound of dogs barking from the city wall, and faint human voices could be heard.
That's a police officer on patrol. There is a strict curfew in Jinling City, and no one is allowed to go out on the road at night.
If there is a prince or grandson who is looking for fun, he can only stay in the embroidered couch of his lover for one night.
Although the morals of the Ming Dynasty gradually deteriorated, especially in the officialdom, everyone still abided by the curfew.
On the outskirts of Jinling City, the night was as dark as ink. Baochai, dressed in a Taoist robe, looked like the little Taoist nuns around Lin Lingsu.
She may have never worn such a robe in her life, but she didn't have any dissatisfaction. She had a pair of beautiful but definitely not smart eyes. She didn't know what she was thinking, staring at the darkness ahead.
This was the first time since she was a child that she went out after dark, and there were several strangers around her.
She suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her brother slipped out of the yard.
My father was really angry at that time. He beat my brother's butt with a stick and blood oozed, but my brother still gritted his teeth and smiled at him.
Since then, Baochai has never done anything to make her father angry, but her brother still goes his own way.
Later, his father died, and his mother doted on her brother from the bottom of her heart. In fact, Baochai did the same.
Even though Xue Pan has all kinds of bad things, he is sincere to his relatives and friends.
"Sister Baochai?"
As soon as Li Yu spoke, Baochai was interrupted from her thoughts. She was surprised to see a beautiful tassel appear in the air.
My brother couldn't wait to sit on it, looking around with his big face, excited.
The Taoist priest next to him smiled and explained to him from time to time, and seemed to be giving him guidance.
Xiao Qiao stretched out her hand to pull Baochai up, and the tassel slowly rose into the air, flying against the wind.
Is this the Immortal Family’s trick?
Baochai has a delicate mind and has very little regard for the feelings between people, except for her closest relatives.
She has met many of her brother's friends, all in the name of brother, coveting his brother's money and following him to live and drink. The most hateful thing is that they coaxed her brother around and actually regarded them as friends.
But the world-famous Taoist priest in front of me seemed different.
Feeling the little girl's gaze, Li Yu turned around and smiled at her, and then continued to explain to Xue Pan.
Xue Pan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "I entered your serious sect, what kind of errand should I do? I don't know anything."
It was rare for him to be so self-aware, and the three people on Tassel couldn't help laughing.
Li Yu patted his friend's shoulder and said with a smile: "We are a serious sect. We have four elders: wine, wealth and sex. Now we have the wine elder, Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi, and you will be the wealth elder."
Xue Pan was overjoyed, patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, I have plenty of money."
