Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 14 Reaction of the Parties

The first to arrive was Xue's mother, Xue Wang's family.

Xue Pan didn't tell her what happened to Baochai, but he found the city where he was related.

When Xue's mother found out about this from the old relative who helped Xue Pan out of the city, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.

It can be imagined that the Japanese pirates will attack the city soon, and her son and daughter are all outside the city.

But he didn't even dare to faint.

She mobilized almost all her old relatives, but she couldn't think of any better way than sending people to find them.

In special times, Jinling's safety cannot be affected because of her family.

Fortunately, when she got the news while she was in distress, she rushed over immediately.

"Wenlong! Baochai! My son! Are you really back?"

Across the city gate, Mother Xue called over and over again.

"Wenlong? Baochai? Can you hear me? It's me!"

Liu Zhao, who was outside the door, was upset when he heard that, so he asked Zhuang Ding, who carried him, to report back.

After a while, Xue Pan came to the gate of the city, trying not to cry.

"Mom! It's us! Don't worry, my sister and I are fine!"

Mother Xue was a little relieved when she got the response.

So, instead of bothering Liu Zhao, she urged Dong Yu to open the door in the city.

Knowing that the Xue family couldn't afford to offend, Dong Yu could only talk about Che Jilu with a smile on his face.

But life and death dare not open the door.

Fortunately, Commander Mu Kun and Guozijian Jijiu Li Shouzhong arrived soon.

After Dong Yu and Mu Kun reported, they sent people out to check.

The thing is true, and it is naturally easy to verify.

Seeing the neatly arranged heads, the officials who came out to check couldn't believe their eyes.

Confirmed again and again that the heads are all Japanese ronin, not shaved heads.

The accompanying personnel also all have local accents, and there are no secret work by Japanese pirates.

He didn't let someone open the door directly, but bid farewell to Liu Zhao, and was dragged back to the city by the hanging basket.

This is because people outside the city will not believe everything they say.

Prevent being held hostage by the enemy.

Not long after the inspectors returned, the gates of the city slowly opened.

Then three waves of people left with their own people.

On the carriage, the mother and son of the Xue family hugged each other and cried.

"Woooooo!"

"My son!"

Instead, it was Baochai who persuaded him patiently.

"Mom, brother, didn't you come back safely? It's time to celebrate."

In this way, the two cried all the way, and Baochai persuaded them all the way.

It wasn't until they returned home that the mother and son gradually recovered.

Mother Xue screened her left and right sides, comforting her sobbing son while looking at her daughter worriedly.

"Baochai, how do you spend your day and night, the Feng family..."

"mom!"

Even if her own mother asked, Baochai would inevitably feel ashamed and angry.

She interrupted directly, saying:

"Yesterday, little master Feng was surrounded by servants because he had a conflict with his elder brother. Asking me to send him out of the city was only an expedient measure, and it was not intentional to be frivolous."

"Because the city gate was closed suddenly, he was worried about my safety, and he was afraid that if something happened to me, he would be blamed, so he had no choice but to take me back to Feng's residence."

Without waiting for Mother Xue to ask more questions, Baochai spoke like a cannonball.

"From the beginning to the end, he treated each other with courtesy, not including the car. I was in the car, and he and the commander were outside the car."

"In his mansion, we haven't even met face to face. From the moment we entered the mansion, we were received by his nanny, Nanny Meng. There was no disrespect in the slightest."

Mother Xue couldn't speak at all, and looked at Baochai in surprise.

She still goes on:

"You can ask Ying'er and Madam Zhang about this matter, they will be by my side the whole time."

"Besides, it was only during the day. Later, my brother found it again and lived in the same yard with me."

Seemingly afraid that Xue's mother would not believe it, she brought out three certifications in one breath.

Seeing that his brother no longer sobbed, he pointed at him and said:

"Although my elder brother was kidnapped by the people of Feng's residence, it was actually out of necessity."

"Because the Japanese pirates were approaching at that time, Master Xiao Feng didn't want to get entangled with him, so he was escorted to my courtyard and I asked me to appease my brother."

Mother Xue looked at Xue Pan following Baochai's gaze.

Xue Pan hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

"It was only later that I found out that Master Xiao Feng was leading people to suppress Japanese pirates."

Before Xue Pan could say anything, Baochai said again:

"Mom, I'll only talk about this once. We will have no contact with the Feng family in the future, so there is no need to mention it again."

"If someone asks, you can just say so, and if you want to act in a hurry, it won't damage your reputation."

For some reason, although the explanation was clear, my heart became more and more irritable.

Is it a heat poisoner?
But there are no other symptoms.

Baochai looked at Xue Pan again and said:
"Also, brother, don't bother the Feng family anymore. After all, they wiped out the Japanese pirates and made people in the south of the Yangtze River angry."

How dare I trouble him?
Xue Pan thought in his heart.

He is still thinking about the scene of beheading last night.

But Baochai was afraid that he would not understand the power of it, so she said in more detail:

"Furthermore, Mr. Xiao Feng is the master of today's science. Although people like us are not afraid, it is still rare to offend scholars."

"In order to prevent those scholars from criticizing their pens, Qingliu Yushi took the opportunity to read a few more books from Xue's family, and the gain outweighs the loss."

After finishing speaking, Baochai came to his senses.

It seems that I haven't been like this for a long time, and I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Sure enough, Xue's mother and son looked at each other in blank dismay.

They all discovered Baochai's abnormality.

Especially Xue's mother, in fact, she just loves her and wants to care about her.

I didn't expect my daughter to react so strongly and say so much in one breath!
Since the death of Xue's father, Baochai has become reticent.

It's been several years since you said so many words in one breath, right?

Even if Baochai didn't say anything, Xue's mother had already thought about how to deal with it.

Although Baochai stayed away for one night, she was still very young.

There are still two years left before Jiji.

Secondly, as she said, there was a maid who accompanied her all the way.

Now I know that Xue Pan's elder brother also arrived later, and lives in the same courtyard.

It will inevitably save more tongues.

Thirdly, this person surnamed Feng is also from the eunuch's family, so he should know the reputation of the Xue family in Jinling.

As long as he is not stupid, he will not offend her family to death.

I thought that Baochai would be somewhat frightened after this incident.

But Xue Pan cried all the way, but Baochai was thinking about this.

The most important thing is, never leave the Feng family!

Although Baochai has always been the safest, she is still young after all.

Could it be...

Mother Xue was stunned for a moment, as if she had figured out something, and then remembered something.

She didn't worry about it anymore, but looked at Baochai.

Seeing that Baochai was a little hairy, he said:

"Baochai, I got a letter a few days ago, and I haven't had time to tell you that today, the emperor advocates poetry and rites, and is preparing to recruit talents. The daughters of famous officials and famous families are all given the relative name of Dabu, so that they can be selected as princesses, princesses, etc. The princess attends school as an attendant, serving as a talented person and a duty of praise."

She was still hesitating at first, but now Mother Xue has made up her mind.

She looked at Baochai and asked directly, "I want you to try it, okay?"

Before Baochai could answer, she said to herself, "It's okay if you don't get selected, just accompany me to visit relatives in the capital. You haven't seen that piece of jade from your aunt's house before!"

Baochai was silent for a moment, and then said: "Everything is arranged by mother."

After speaking, he fell into silence again.

Xue Pan on the side suddenly said: "Mom, I will go with you."
