Tonight, Xue Baochai is wearing a light yellow dress, which makes her tall figure look plump and slender.
Instead of inserting a few hairpins on her head, she just pulled a piece of black hair behind her head, braided a few braids, tied them behind her neck, and then hid them behind her back.
Thin and light-colored bangs, fluffy on the forehead.
Coupled with simple and elegant makeup, as well as skin as smooth as snow, and perfect appearance, her whole person looks beautiful and refined, and she has the feeling of embodying the beauty of all the ladies in the world.
Jia Lian did not see Baochai when he sat down at the table, and thought that Baochai might have avoided seeing her tonight. Now he found that not only did she come out, but she also appeared in front of him with such a pure and beautiful appearance, and he felt a sense of surprise.
meaning.
Without taking a few more glances, he stood up and left the table, briefly cupping his hands with Baochai as a signal.
Baochai seemed surprised. She didn't expect that Jia Lian would make a special trip to get up for her. She didn't see her brother sitting at the table calmly and not moving.
He didn't say anything, and then he bowed to Jia Lian with a formal attitude, then walked around to Jia Lian's side.
Aunt Xue was at the top, and Jia Lian and Xue Pan were on the two sides. Naturally, she could only sit at the bottom.
At this time, Aunt Xue had already asked Jia Lian to sit down. While asking him not to be too polite, she explained that Baochai had gone to prepare some fine wine for him, so she was a little late.
Jia Lian naturally didn't care about this. Ever since Baochai sat down next to him, he had been keenly aware of a faint scent, like spring breeze, with a bit of floral fragrance.
This was the first time he and Baochai sat together at such a close distance.
In the past in Rongguo Mansion, even the most recent time, I was face to face with Baochai, but I didn't expect that Baochai actually had this kind of orchid-like musk scent. It was faint, not like the smell of a powder sachet.
But it's unusually refreshing.
"Come, Brother Lian, let me toast you first and thank you for your rescue today!"
Xue Pan stood up immediately, raised his glass and made a toast. After drinking the wine in the glass, he sighed: "If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I would really be in trouble! I didn't say it, I owe you my life. From now on
From now on, Brother Lian, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. I will definitely repay your kindness. A man, I will do what I say. If I can't do it, you can drown me with spittle in the future.
!”
Xue Pan's spitting words made Aunt Xue and Baochai frown one after another.
Jia Lian also glanced at him, sat down on his own, and said with a smile: "Brother Pan, I just met you by chance. Even if my people don't go today, Liu Xianglian won't dare to do anything to you.
You went too far."
Of course Jia Lian knew that people like Xue Pan would dare to say anything after drinking. Anyone who really took his words to heart would be really stupid.
Xue Pan chuckled, of course he didn't really regard Jia Lian as his savior, he was not drunk yet.
Talking like that is just trying to get close.
But after smiling honestly, he cursed again: "That damn Liu Xianglian, second brother Lian must not let him go, he is simply, extremely hateful!"
After all, he was beaten today. No matter how much Xue Pan was doing, he would not be able to get rid of his anger all at once.
When Aunt Xue and her daughter heard this, they also looked at Jia Lian.
The main purpose of inviting Jia Lian here today is to ask Jia Lian for instructions on how to handle this matter.
Jia Lian put down his chopsticks, looked at the three people, and said slowly: "I already understand everything about today.
To be honest, Liu Xianglian dared to deceive Brother Pan and beat him outside the city. He was so bold and reckless. Even if he was escorted to the government and asked to be dealt with strictly, he would not be wronged at all. "
"That's right, this is too cheap for him. You must let me beat him first!"
Xue Pan shouted, but Aunt Xue, mother and daughter heard the twist in Jia Lian's words, and neither spoke.
"It's just that I thought about it. If this matter really goes to court, it won't be a good thing. It may even have a very bad impact on Brother Pan's reputation...Brother Pan, what do you think?"
"Uh, this, this..." Xue Pan's face suddenly turned red.
Of course he understood what Jia Lian meant. Once they wanted to escort Liu Xianglian to the government, Liu Xianglian would naturally say anything in order to reduce her guilt.
Once Liu Xianglian told Fu Yin truthfully, it was she who spoke first and used frivolous methods to make the other party hit him in anger.
If word of this situation spreads, even if Liu Xianglian still cannot be completely free of guilt, I am afraid that Xue Pan's reputation as a fool will be completely determined and he will be designated to become the joke of the whole capital.
Liu Xianglian is just a prodigal son, but he still holds the title of Ministry of Household Affairs, so he still needs to take care of his face!
Jia Lian originally didn't want Xue Pan to tell the truth, just to let Aunt Xue and her daughter confirm that Xue Pan was at fault in this matter, and it was not convenient to make the inside story public.
"So, I thought, the Xue family has been a famous family for hundreds of years, so naturally its reputation is important.
Although Brother Pan has suffered a big loss today, if he is willing to speak openly, it is actually because he was a young man who got drunk and had a quarrel, so he will not be in trouble with the government.
Therefore, I have shocked that Liu Xianglian. Liu Xianglian also admitted that she was drunk and lost her moral character, so she beat others, and she was willing to apologize to Brother Pan and plead guilty.
Liu Xianglian can be considered a member of the Liu family of Duke Li's palace. In this sense, he and my family can be considered family friends. I thought that after Brother Pan's injuries healed in two days, I would be a host for you two.
When the time comes, let him apologize to you, Brother Pan.
He also said that if Brother Pan you are still angry at that time, even if you want to punch him a few times, you will do so.
In this way, if Brother Pan feels that it is still acceptable, I will act as the peacemaker. Of course, if Brother Pan feels that it is unacceptable, I will not force him, and I will send him to Xue's house tomorrow and leave it to Auntie and you to deal with it."
After Xue Pan heard this, his expression suddenly became tangled.
Speaking of which, after being beaten, he realized that it was he himself, Meng Lang, who mistook Liu Xianglian for a first-rate prostitute and received a severe beating.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He is actually a relatively generous person, at least he thinks so. He also really likes Liu Xianglian's romantic character, and even if they can't be a couple, they can still be brothers.
Very good!
If Liu Xianglian just beat him up today, and he knew that he was at fault first, and then knew that Liu Xianglian was willing to apologize to him, he would naturally be angry.
However, Liu Xianglian also forced him to drink dirty water...
Even now, he can still think of how fishy the water in the creek was. Just thinking about it makes him feel sick to his stomach.
There was nothing I could do, I drank all the wine! Even if I beat Liu Xianglian and put her in jail, it would not help.
The most important thing is that Jia Lian said so. This person's face must be given no matter what.
Therefore, when his expression changed, he suddenly beat his chest and said, "Since Brother Lian said so, I dare not not give Brother Lian face.
Speaking of which, I, Xue Pan, am not a stingy person. As long as Liu Xianglian is willing to apologize to me in person, and there is no need to punch him a few more times, as long as he offers me three glasses of wine alone, this matter will be over!"
When Jia Lian heard this, he looked approvingly and raised a glass to invite him: "Brother Pan, you are a bright man and you speak happily. I'd like to toast you!"
Xue Pan immediately accepted Jia Lian's toast with a smile.
Here, Aunt Xue and her daughter saw that Xue Pan understood it, so naturally they wouldn't say anything more.
Aunt Xue, on the other hand, quietly glanced at her daughter Baochai and secretly praised her daughter. She was indeed more thoughtful than herself.
What Jia Lian said just now is actually consistent with what his daughter said that afternoon, both overtly and covertly.
If she hadn't known that it was impossible for her daughter to communicate secretly with Jia Lian, she would have been suspicious. This was what her daughter and Jia Lian said after they had discussed it.
