Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 70
Mrs. Xue Wang said with a smile: "Children treat every piece of paper as a treasure. I was not specifically asked to deliver it, because I came to give a gift today and took it with me, but I forgot it and was afraid of going back. I didn't have an answer to that little devil king, so I came here patiently. If it wasn't for him, I would have gone back to rest a long time ago."

After saying this, Mrs. Wang also laughed: "They say that my Baoyu is a 'devil incarnation'. I think Hong'er also has a lot of tricks."

Baochai said to her heart that my second brother is much better than your Baoyu, and he has already been admitted as a scholar.

On the face, he smiled and said: "People say that it is better for boys to be naughty. My second elder brother has already passed the exam, and in the future, Brother Bao will also be able to. Who made them both naughty?"

This made Mrs. Wang laugh too.

Since being drunk for a thousand days didn't work before, I originally wanted to ask my sister if there was any other way to kill people, but Pian Baochai kept talking like honey, so she couldn't rush the child away. When we go, we must take Mr. Xue Wang and chat with her.

While chatting, I secretly glanced at the clock, thinking that it was already afternoon, and no matter how energetic the child was, he would be sleepy and go to bed. Unexpectedly, Baochai became more energetic as we chatted, and did not feel tired at all. Instead, she listened to Baochai's children. The more he listened, the more boring he became, and he yawned deeply.

Seeing this, Xue Wang said, "Since my sister is tired, I will go back first" and left quickly.Xue Baochai unloaded the heavy burden on the carriage back home, and let out a deep breath: "Oh, hey, I can finally go home, mother, you don't know, the child is almost sleepy to death!"

Xue Wang poked Baochai's head: "Then you are still chatting so vigorously?"

Baochai curled her lips: "Ever since I knew that my aunt was such a person, I felt that Sister Yuan and Baoyu were tired of seeing each other. Seeing them would only make me feel disgusted. It would be better to accompany my mother to deal with my aunt, anyway. Seeing me there, she felt ashamed to ask her mother to help her do bad things."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xue Wang couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to hug her young and sensible daughter: "You are so young, why do you have to worry so much? If you don't like Yuanchun, go and see Tanchun. It's the same. She's still young, so... It’s time to be cute. Don’t worry, Mom can handle it.”

Xue Baochai nodded in her mother's arms, couldn't bear the drowsiness anymore, and fell asleep like this. The first thought when she fell asleep was: I don't want to go to see Tanchun, I want to stay with my mother. protect my mother...

It wasn't until the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month that the Xue family was finally busy.Because this is the first time that Xue Yi and his wife have returned to the south with their family since they got married. It is different from Xue Yi who used to go out in plain clothes. This time only the housekeeper was left in the mansion, and most of the rest followed. The Xue family's luggage was loaded into two boats, not to mention the special local products in Beijing and the valuables from all over the place.

It's just that there are many benefits, at least the laughter along the way is very lively, especially the children.

Xue Pan went to look for Hei Zi as soon as he got on the boat, because Hei Zi felt vulgar and refused to accompany Xue Pan to the master's boat, so Xue Pan saw no one the most every day.Every day when I opened my eyes, I went to Heizi's place, and I didn't return to the main ship until dinner time.

Xue Hong brought a lot of books and painting utensils, and spent the most time with Baochai every day. The two of them read books, tasted tea, enjoyed the scenery and painted.Because it was the first time for the two of them to go out, they said that they wanted to leave the most beautiful scenery they had ever seen on the scroll as a souvenir.

Bao Xiang, the youngest, was the most worrying, as they were worried that she would get seasick due to the rough waves on the ship due to her young age.Unexpectedly, not only did this little girl not get seasick, but she was even more energetic than when she was at home, and she was even more attached to her father Xue Yi. Unfortunately, Xue Yi had official business to deal with during the day, and Mrs. Xue Wang and Mr. Liu felt energetic when they took turns accompanying her. Not enough.

On this day, all the people were playing with Baoxiang for fun, when suddenly a young man came to report: "Master, the Qingkou Wharf is just ahead."

The purpose of Emperor Kangxi's southern tour was to inspect water transportation and water conservancy. He had already decided to disembark at Qingkou. Xue Yi came with officials from the Ministry of Works. When he arrived at Qingkou, he had to disembark from the ship to handle official business. The Xue family had been on the ship for many days. , It’s time to come down to stretch your muscles and have a meal of local delicacies.

As soon as Xue Hongwai got off the boat, he saw several dock workers arguing with a policeman in soldier uniform.

It was said to be noisy, but in fact it was the soldiers who beat a few thinly dressed strong men with whips. The men were hurt by the beating and resisted a few words.

From a distance, I heard the soldier spitting loudly: "Damn! Just because you still want to ask the court for a jacket to wear? If you don't piss to take a picture, who has the spare money to buy cotton jackets for you poor ghosts? Where are you guys, do you need a bowl of dumplings for each of you to celebrate the New Year?"

As he said that, he raised his hand and whipped one of the men. The man was so painful that he didn't dare to speak. When he was about to beat him again, a young man standing next to the man grabbed the soldier's whip. , yelled: "Niuergou, don't bully others too much! It's okay if the winter money allocated by the court to the docks is divided by you, but you can't give them enough to eat, don't give them warm clothes, and they have to be whipped every day. If you kill us, who will do the work for you, and how will you explain it to your superiors?"

The soldier named Niu Ergou saw that his whip was caught by this man and could not be withdrawn at all. He cursed and pulled the whip with both hands: "You are a bastard who came out of nowhere, Lian Junye's." Do you dare to call me by your name? Let me tell you, even if you poor guys are dead, there are so many people coming to work at the dock just for a bite of food. I am not afraid of being difficult to explain to you. Don't mess with me! Give me the whip. , give me...give..."

Before the last "Give me" was finished, the boy let go of his hand suddenly, and heard a "click", and the bull and dog were thrown on their backs. It was so cold and fell so hard that it was difficult to keep the bones.

When the other dock workers saw Niu Ergou fall, they all covered their mouths and tried to laugh but did not dare to laugh. Niu Ergou who fell to the ground was so angry in his eyes that he struggled to get up and picked himself up again. Whip: "Okay~ How dare you laugh at me, tell you to laugh, tell you to laugh..."

"Clap-pop-pop-"

The whip whipped louder and louder. Just now the young man wanted to stand out again. Some of the workers caught a glimpse of a few more soldiers approaching in the distance, and an older worker hurriedly stopped him: "Yongzi, forget it. You just fell the cow Er Gou has taught him a lesson, there are too many of them, and it would be bad if they make a big fuss, don't go, be obedient."
