[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

In the evening, Bao Cong was about to fall asleep, but Liu Xianglian suddenly came to look for him.

"I don't know why Brother Liu is looking for me? Has there been a change in plan?"

Liu Xianglian shook her head, and instead took out two swords and put them on the table, "I have something to ask Brother Bao."

Bao Cong froze for a moment, then looked at the two swords on the table.

The scabbard is engraved with the ring patterns of a pair of mandarin ducks. Although it looks old, the gold paint on it has not faded at all, and the gems on the hilt are still shining brightly, which is very gorgeous. It must be because the owner loves it and maintains it properly. .

Isn't this the legendary Liu Xianglian's ancestral sword—the male and female mandarin duck sword...

Sure enough, Liu Xianglian continued: "This is the mandarin duck sword handed down from my family. It is usually only kept in the sword pouch, and I dare not take it out. Now I bring it to ask Brother Bao to propose marriage to the mandarin duck girl on my behalf. If she agrees , I will use this sword as a decision first, and after returning to the capital, I will formally go to the Jin family to propose marriage."

Did you make a decision so quickly?

Bao Cong was shocked!

He saw Liu Xianglian standing at the door of the mandarin duck's house in the afternoon, so he wondered if he was a little interested in the mandarin duck, but he didn't expect this person to come to propose at night, and his speed was comparable to that of a rocket!

But in the next second, Bao Cong thought of Yuanyang's very money-loving and snobbish brother-in-law, and Liu Xianglian's bad record of "repenting marriage"... Although the Liu Xianglian he knew had never regretted marriage, the original book Zhong not only regretted the marriage, but also caused Miss You to commit suicide.Yuanyang is living well now, but she can't commit suicide because of a marriage!

Therefore, Bao Cong did not immediately agree, but instead said: "Brother Liu, although Sister Yuanyang is very good, don't you think about it more? Don't you want to know more about it first?"

"Yuanyang used to be my grandmother's maidservant. Her old lady was looking after the Jia family's old house in Jinling's hometown. Her elder brother and sister-in-law used to work in the Rongguo mansion. The Jin family got rid of their slave status last year, and now they run a small shop in the capital. Do you understand all of these? Don't you mind?"

Liu Xianglian shook her head, bowed her hands to Bao Cong, and said sincerely: "Brother Bao, you know me. When you travel the rivers and lakes to make friends, you never look at people's backgrounds, but their character. Although I have only met Yuanyang girls a few times In front of you, but seeing that she is a noble character and behaves politely, I know she must be very good. I admire her wholeheartedly, and I wish to be with her forever!"

If this confession of sincerity and sincerity was heard by Yuanyang, her heart would be completely destroyed immediately.Not to mention mandarin ducks, Bao Cong himself was very moved when he heard it.

He had already guessed that if Liu Xianglian was interested in Yuanyang, he would try his best to match them up. Who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence that Liu Xianglian would just bump into each other?

But calm down, calm down.Marriage is not a trifling matter.

Bao Cong held back his joy and pretended to be unmoved, "Brother Liu, I remember you said before that you must marry a peerless beauty, and that Ning and Rong's houses are not clean except for the stone lions at the entrance. I would rather die than have any relationship with the Jia family, have you forgotten?"

"..." Liu Xianglian was a little dumbfounded for a moment, the harsh words she said in the past are now slapped in the face and slapped.

Bao Cong was still babbling mercilessly: "Brother Liu has traveled all over the country, seen countless beauties, and had countless confidante friends. The beauty is still late, but sister Yuanyang? In the eyes of the elder brother, she can't be ranked Belle's team?"

"Although Sister Yuanyang's surname is not Jia, after all, she grew up in Jia's family, and she is a member of Jia's family. Now you admire her and praise her for her noble character and politeness, but don't say that she is a maid from Jia's family in the future." , illiterate and ignorant of etiquette, and feel that her family loves money and is too busy, which has tarnished your innocence and is not worthy of you."

"If you make up your mind today and go back on it tomorrow, nothing will happen to you. It will only make Sister Yuanyang unable to be a human being!"

Liu Xianglian frowned more and more, Bao Cong hurriedly sat down at the table, and pressed the two swords without a trace.He was afraid that the slap in the face would be too loud, and Liu Xianglian would wake up immediately and repent, and took the sword away!

Hmph, it's impossible to take back the ceremony that was taken out—the male and female mandarin duck swords are so compatible with mandarin ducks!

After being silent for a while, Liu Xianglian seemed to have made up her mind, and said solemnly: "Brother Bao, there is an ancient poem that says, 'Lian, the lotus is clean and not demonic, and the mud is not stained.' Although the girl is not a peerless beauty, she is It is the girl who emerges from the mud in my heart but remains untainted."

Then, she became even more excited: "I, Liu Xianglian, absolutely disdain to be that capricious and shameless person! If the mandarin duck girl accepts the betrothal, I will definitely propose marriage after returning to Beijing. No matter what her family is, I will love her and respect her." If she doesn't, she will be struck by lightning!"

"Okay!" Bao Cong was overjoyed, picked up a sword on the table, pulled it out with a swipe, pointed at Liu Xianglian, and said with a grin: "If she is willing to marry, if you want to go back on your word, don't wait for the lightning to strike you. I, Jia Baocong, will chop you first!"

"Okay!" Liu Xianglian made a final decision, "High fives!"

Clap, clap—three high-fives, Liu Xianglian was relieved, and Bao Cong was happy!

I swear, I can't go back on my word!

After handing over the Yuanyang sword to Yuanyang, and describing Liu Xianglian's confession vividly, Yuanyang naturally agreed to the marriage.

When Liu Xianglian learned that Yuanyang agreed, she was overjoyed, and set off with fluttering feet, went to the horse bandit's den to find out the news, and went to catch Bogda Asen.

Bao Cong is really that worried, this person won't be in the den of horse bandits, is he still so stupid?

After two days, Liu Xianglian didn't regret it, but Baocong wanted to.

It's not about the mandarin ducks, but about Tanchun.

Bao Cong glanced sadly at Tanchun, who was excitedly playing with the fake beard he had just put on.

Yes, fake beards.

Now Tanchun is wearing men's clothing, with a man's bun, thickened eyebrows, blackened face, and fake beard.He also imitated men's talking and walking in a rough voice, and danced and danced. He almost caught up with the gorilla's sense of sight.

This matter has to start from the plan that Bao Cong discussed with Liu Xianglian that day.

He and Liu Xianglian divided into two groups. Liu Xianglian's side was mainly about suppressing bandits and capturing Bogda Asen alive, while his side was planning to use fake princesses as bait to find out who was in the wedding team. Bogda Assen cooperates to snatch the marriage.

Since there is already a "princess master" in the wedding team, Bao Cong suggested that Tanchun pretend to be his servant, so as to conceal his identity and restore the status of princess at any time.

Tanchun was super excited, she had never played such an exciting game since she was a child.But Bao Cong was worried and wanted to regret it very much.

"Tanchun, how about..."

As soon as Bao Cong said the beginning, when he met Shang Tanchun's bright eyes, he subconsciously changed his words: "Do you want to think about it, and stop being the princess of this wedding? You have also felt the danger along the way. You can’t say what you will encounter later. What will you do if I am not by your side in the future? Now is the last chance. Anyway, there is a fake princess holding it against you. Help you get it..."

Tanchun smiled and said: "What are you thinking about? I don't enjoy the great glory and wealth. Why do you resist the decree and harm your family and yourself?"

"If you want to talk about danger, where is there no danger? Soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you, whoever dares to bully me, I will bully you back, and see who sees me as a soft persimmon that is easy to bully!"

"Third brother, instead of worrying about these things, why don't you make more practical plans for me, so that I can live a more comfortable life in the future."

After putting on the beard, she was still not satisfied, so she pulled Bao Cong out: "Go out and have a look, I always feel that my son is missing something, are there any folding fans for sale on the street?"

Bao Cong said helplessly: "How can there be folding fans for sale here? Besides, you are my servant now, not a son, what folding fan do you want?"

Tanchun pouted, dissatisfied: "Then I won't be your servant, I will be your brother!"

Suddenly he became happy again: "Yes! Third brother, you can call me Huan'er! My name is Huan'er! Jia Huan! This dress is not good either, I want to change into a new one, it looks good!"

"Don't change your clothes, you are too flamboyantly dressed, what should you do if those maids recognize you?"

"Then do I have a servant? Let Shishu and Yuanyang act as men with me, pretending to be my servant?"

"How can this be done? I'm here to save them. They all pretend to be servants. Who will pretend to be them? No, no, no!"

"Oh, I want to change my hairpin, this hairpin is so feminine!"

"...this line..."

In the end, I still got an extra folding fan for Tanchun.

=== 888 ===

In the post station, the returning Bao Cong was once again warmly welcomed by Jiang Che and A Man.

Yuanyang went to resettle and recuperate the wounded, while Shishu went back to serve the "princess master".

Bao Cong was worrying about how to introduce Tanchun, but when he looked back, Tanchun had retreated to about ten meters away, bouncing around, playing with the puppy in the courtyard of the post station.

This girl ran around without looking at her!

Bao Cong hurriedly called Dong Ming over and said, "Hurry up, go and watch over... Huan'er, don't let him be bumped into!"

Dong Ming was counting how many things he had to report to Bao Cong, when the first sentence of "Huan'er" made his mind stuck for a moment.

Isn't Master Huan in the capital?Could it be that the princess is reluctant to sneak over here?

Taking a closer look, the fourth master Huan, who looked familiar but not so familiar, was slipping outside after teasing the puppy.That head, that brow, that face, are clearly the third girl!How could Fourth Master Huan grow a beard!

"Third... Fourth Master Huan!" Dong Ming yelled and ran after him, "Wait a little one!"

Both Bogda Aman and Jiang Che were taken aback, and hurriedly looked outside, but Bao Cong blocked it with a step, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I'm sorry, my younger brother is ignorant, so he sneaked here."

Jiang Che was startled, "The fourth son of your mansion? That's not the princess's..."

Bao Cong nodded with a smile, "He is the younger brother of the princess and his mother. He couldn't bear to part with his sister, so he sneaked out and said that he wanted to marry his sister. It's just a child's temper, Mr. Jiang don't mind."

Jiang Che also laughed: "The princess, the lord, and the fourth son have a deep brotherhood, which is really enviable!"

"Where is!"

Bao Cong bowed his hands politely, accidentally saw the smile on Oman's face faded, as if something was on his mind.

With Jiang Che present, it was inconvenient for Bao Cong to ask in detail, so he had to turn to ask about the situation of the "Prince Princess".Jiang Che was about to answer, but saw a maid running in in alarm, shouting: "It's bad! It's bad! Something happened to the princess!"
