My brother's name is Jia Baoyu

After being cleansed with spiritual power, Jia Jin's five senses are very sharp. Jia Jin can't explain this kind of mysterious and mysterious things to Lin Ruhai in detail. Is it abnormal? Even though the place is quite remote, it is better to pay attention to it! You have to trust my intuition!"

Lin Ruhai: ... the old man believes in you!

Before the carriage reached Rongguo Mansion, Jia Jin excused that the carriage was too stuffy and got out of the carriage. Lin Ruhai was about to call him back, when he disappeared with Luo Yu.

Lin Ruhai: ...I wanted to give you an excuse to visit Min'er!

After waiting for Lin Ruhai's carriage to go far away, Jia Jin took Luo Yu out of the corner. He suspected that the previous attack on them was caused by the fourth prince's internal response, but after this time he was almost sure of it.

His actions just now may have aroused the vigilance of Tu Yanqing, I only hope that he can be more vigilant and find out the person hiding in the dark as soon as possible.

In a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, the middle-aged man took the letter from Feige from his subordinates, turned around and said respectfully to the person who was admiring the calligraphy and painting at the table: "Master, there should be news from the place where we are buried in the fourth prince's mansion. , Said that the Fourth Prince invited Lin Ruhai over today, but I don’t know what the two of them talked about, Lin Ruhai was full of anger when he left, and it seemed that the two of them didn’t agree on what they were talking about.”

After carefully putting away the pictures of ladies on the table, the man took the satin towel handed over by the middle-aged man and wiped his hands carefully, before slowly opening his mouth and saying, "I thought his virtue would disdain doing such things to buy people's hearts." , Now he is willing to give up his identity! Lin Ruhai is a confidant of the sage, and he is the one who can be persuaded by a few words!"

Middle-aged man: "Master, do you still want to send someone to watch over the Jia family's child?"

The man pondered for a while before he said: "Forget it, he is just a boy from the Xungui family, so let's withdraw! It's just that Lin Ruhai needs to be more careful, after all, this person is a ruthless person who can bring down the second prince and the sixth prince." !"

On this day, Baochai had just returned from Tanchun's courtyard, and before he reached the room, he heard Mrs. Xue's intermittent weeping.

Since Father Xue passed away, except for the time when Xue Pan beat someone to death and was taken to prison, Mrs. Xue cried once. It has been a long time since Baochai saw Mrs. Xue was so emotional.

She quickly walked two steps into the room, and she really saw Xue Pan in the room, and she was at a loss what to do to comfort Mrs. Xue, but she didn't know what Xue Pan said, Mrs. Xue was holding her chest and was a little out of breath.

Baochai hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.

Seeing that Baochai came, Mrs. Xue seemed to have found support. She took Baochai's hand and cried, "It's all your father's fault for leaving early. If he was here, how could our orphans and widows suffer such humiliation?" ah!"

Without saying a few words, she felt a little sad and cried a little louder.

Seeing Mrs. Xue crying again without saying a word, Xue Pan felt very impatient, and he said in a low voice, "What's the use of crying? You can't make up for our royal comprador's errand if you cry any more. Uncle and uncle can be relied on, but it doesn’t look very good now, why bother to live in someone else’s house, it’s not like we can’t afford a mansion in Beijing!”

What Xue Pan said was wrong, but Baochai still heard the news she wanted from his words.

"You said that our Xue family's royal merchant job is gone?" Baochai asked in surprise.

"It's not gone. Our Xue family used to be responsible for the purchase of spices in the palace. It's just that this year, the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not know what medicine they took wrongly. Some of the purchasing errands that I am in charge of in my hands need to be allocated! It turns out that this matter can only be solved by adding more money, but, it’s just..."

Xue Pan faltered and couldn't speak. He drank too much that day and got drunk.

It was already the second day when he woke up, and rushed to the House of Internal Affairs, where there was no good job left, Xue Pan was exhausted, and spent another [-] taels of silver to divide the original The purchase of medicinal materials for them was guaranteed!

Originally, the Xue family also owned some properties in Beijing due to their status as an imperial merchant, but the Xue family’s main business was spices and medicinal materials, and among them, spices had the highest profit. Now that the spice business has taken off, how can Mrs. Xue not feel distressed? .

It's just that my heart hurts, but Mrs. Xue didn't mean to blame Xue Pan at all. Instead, she took Baochai's hand to excuse him and said: "Our Xue family has been an imperial merchant for generations, and whoever didn't give us face in the past is not good. Even now that your father is gone, you all come to add insult to injury one by one."

Baochai felt helpless, she already knew the general outline of the matter from Xue Pan's intermittent narration.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs will select the number of imperial merchants every three years. In the past, this kind of thing was just a matter of giving some filial money, but this year it was different because of the measures proposed by the fourth prince. The regulation that descendants who leave business status can be admitted to the imperial examination has caused some big merchants to fight over their heads to grab the places.

At the same time, it also interrupted the original monopoly of the eight imperial merchants, making people like the Xue family nervous.

Originally, the Xue family had already negotiated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to purchase spices and medicinal materials with 5 taels of silver. Who would have thought that when the critical moment came, Xue Pan was confused and lost the spice business for nothing. .

Baochai was also a little dazed, looked at the impatient Xue Pan and Madam Xue who only knew how to cry, and sighed slightly: "Mother, don't cry, after all, our status as an imperial merchant is still there. If brother Manage it well, wait for re-election after three years, it might be possible to regain it!"

She turned her head to Xue Pan again and said: "This matter was originally my brother's fault, and now I still want to say this to hurt my mother, if I didn't come to the capital to seek refuge, how can we, orphans and widows alone, really be able to keep this huge family business? Brother, think about it carefully, and don't act hastily in the future!"

Xue Pan was a little unconvinced, but he was always willing to listen to what this sister said, so he had no choice but to nod reluctantly when he heard the words!

After Xue Pan left, the mother and daughter talked for a while before Baochai left Madam Xue's room.

When Yinger came in with Jianlian jujube soup, she saw Baochai holding on to the window lattice and thinking about something. Yinger put the soup in her hand on the table and called Baochai in a low voice.

Baochai turned around and smelled the sweet and greasy smell in the room. She was about to frown, but Yinger said: "Girl, this is prepared for you by your wife. She said that the shop at home gave some to you this morning." Fresh lotus seeds and red dates, my wife made this sweet soup!"

"But did you send some to the old lady?" Baochai asked.

"Of course there are, except for the old lady, the wife's place, the three girls and Bao Erye's place. I heard from the attacker in Bao Erye's room that the food of Bao Erye is delicious!"

Baochai paused, but she didn't know that Ying'er was so close to the girl in Baoyu's room!That's right, Baoyu has always been gentle and considerate to the girl's family, and when he came to her, he often joked with the girl in her room, and he didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now he feels a little dull.

She suddenly recalled the figure of Jia Jin and Daiyu standing and talking together when they were serving porridge that day.

"Where did the madam send this sweet soup to Mr. Jin?" Baochai asked doubtfully.

Ying'er didn't think there was anything wrong, but when Baochai asked, she replied, "Of course I gave it as a gift, but Lianqiu from Third Master Jin's room came out and said that Third Master Jin didn't like to use these. So I declined! It happened that Second Master Bao liked to eat, so he sent someone to ask, and my wife asked me to send it!"

Hearing Yinger's reply, Baochai's heart sank, she thought of what Mrs. Xue said to her when she left just now.

After Xue Pan left, Mrs. Xue was still crying, Baochai could only comfort her with gentle words, and it took a while for Mrs. Xue to stop crying.

"My son, I'm afraid your elder brother won't succeed. If my son is a man, I also have a hope, but you are born to be a daughter, alas!"

Mrs. Xue's words were actually a bit embarrassing, which caused Baochai to cry: "Mother, why bother to say this, after all, our family is together, and the elder brother will always grow up!"

Mrs. Xue shook her head. Looking at Baochai's beautiful face, her heart became more determined. She took Baochai's hand and said, "My son, you are the only one mother can count on! Look, you What do my aunt's two sons look like? I think that Baoyu is an excellent person, and he is a good match for my son. Although you are a little behind in two years, Baoyu is considerate. If you can succeed in the future, you will definitely It's not your fault!"

Baochai was a little shy, she was only eleven years old now, it would be a little too hasty to talk about these things!

"Mother~"

Seeing Baochai's embarrassment, Mrs. Xue stopped talking. She also felt that she was a little anxious today, but she couldn't help it!

Seeing that Mrs. Xue mentioned Baoyu but not Jia Jin, Baochai asked, "Why didn't mother mention Brother Jin? Compared with Baoyu, he is more promising!"

Seeing that Baochai mentioned Jia Jin instead of Baoyu, Mrs. Xue knew who Baochai was after, but she disagreed in her heart, "Although Brother Jin is also a good man, but in the future even if he is really promising , it’s just a low-rank official, how can it compare to Baoyu, I think the old lady means that all the titles in this family are reserved for him!”

Baochai wanted to say a few words to Mrs. Xue, but seeing Mrs. Xue's appearance, she swallowed the words again.

She thinks that Jia Lian and his wife are very important in the mansion now, since the downfall of the Lai family, Lin Zhixiao under Wang Xifeng is the one who has taken over the job of the chief steward of Lai Shengrong's mansion.

That Lin Zhixiao is an honest person, and he has always followed Dafang's lead.

Although Wang Xifeng still consults the old lady for everything now, it is obvious that the old lady's control over the Rongguo Mansion is much weaker. Apart from her private house, the old lady can make people miss her a lot. do not have much left!Not to mention taking the title from Da Fang in the future!

Baochai sighed, but seeing Mrs. Xue's obsession, she felt very helpless.

Seeing Mrs. Xue's act of giving sweet soup now, she unconsciously felt angry, and she said to Ying'er: "I'm getting a little bored today, so pour this sweet soup away!"

Yinger:...
