Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 185

"I beg the girl to take me in!"

Seeing Baochai's indifference, Xiren burst into tears and begged:

"If the girl doesn't care about it, I'm afraid the only way to avoid future humiliation is to die."

Baochai didn't say a word on the face, but she was full of twists and turns in her heart.

She knew that there must be other ways to solve this trivial matter with Xiren's mind.

Whether it is asking Mrs. Shi or asking Baoyu for help.

It's safer than asking yourself here.

Although Baoyu didn't take the responsibility, he was easy to talk to!

I just need to ask for some favors from him and give it to her mother and brother.

Presumably ordinary people would not chase after her to redeem her.

Although he didn't know that attacking people was a death contract, Baochai had already thought of countless ways.

So with the shrewdness of attacking people, let the people close to you not ask for it, but look for yourself.

What is the purpose?
Baochai soon thought of her upcoming wedding.

In this way, the purpose of attacking people is ready to come out!

She wants to mess with Brother Feng's family?

Only this possibility can make her let go of Baoyu who is close to her and come to find herself.

Xiren must have left the antiquated Jia's mansion and jumped to the vibrant Feng's mansion.

Baochai really wanted to say something at this time:
Don't come here!

She has always had a steady temper, so naturally she will not be in a hurry to say anything.

Instead, after deliberating a few times in his heart, he asked with a smile:

"Have you thought about it, do you really want me to save you?"

The attacker nodded and said earnestly:
"I just hope that the girl can buy me. I will be a cow and a horse in the future, and I will repay your kindness!"

Baochai nodded when she heard the words, and replied with a smile:

"It's good to have an acquaintance. You need my help, and I can't just watch and ignore it."

"When your mother and brother redeem you, just let me know!"

Xiren felt relieved when he heard the words, thinking he had a plan.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to thank her, Baochai continued:

"At that time, I will ask my brother to buy you, and you will follow him in the future, which can be counted as a reliance."

"Gollum!"

Xiren swallowed, and almost couldn't control his expression.

After a while, he said tactfully:

"I serve the girl wholeheartedly, and I don't have the idea of ​​climbing the high branch of Uncle Xue."

At this time, countless legends about Xue Pan emerged in Xiren's mind.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a single thing that was even slightly better.

Either he is domineering, or he is extravagant.

There is even more outrageous, saying that he likes male sex.

"It is enough for me to have Ying'er as a big maid. If you follow me, being a second-class maid will bury your talent."

Baochai explained with a smile, it sounded like it was all for the sake of attacking people, and said modestly:
"My brother never..."

With her stability, she almost said it was "unreliable", but fortunately she changed her words in time:
"... Trimming the appearance, I just need a virtuous servant like you to follow me."

"Maybe it can calm him down, at least it can help me and my mother watch over him."

Baochai thought about the feasibility of this matter.

Like my elder brother, I'm afraid only "Feng Lazi" can subdue him, right?
If the attacker really passed, I'm afraid it will be fresh for two and a half days.

It would be nice to be able to catch my brother's shadow in the future.

"But……"

The attacker has been there for a long time, but he can't come out.

Baochai's arrangement is far from her previous goal.

This sense of gap naturally made it difficult for her to accept it for a while.

While the attacker was hesitating, Baochai said again:

"It's okay if you don't want to. Considering my elder brother's character, it's really like a cow chewing peony to ration him."

Hearing this, Xiren couldn't help feeling a little hopeful, but said in his mouth:

"That's not what it means, it's just that I'm a pussy willow, I'm afraid the uncle will look down on me."

Baochai didn't bother to expose her politeness, and directly gave her another choice, saying:

"Then I'll help you find a good family, and it's worth getting acquainted with."

Xiren didn't say any more silly words like "just want to follow the girl".

After all, Baochai has expressed his opinion.

Follow her and be a second-class maid here.

But I have never heard of second-class maids, and there are a few who can be married.

If the time comes to leave her at Xue's house, won't it be nothing in the end?

It's better to be Xue Pan's aunt directly.

Xiren froze for a moment, thinking about how to answer.

Just heard the sound of footsteps outside.

"elder sister!"

Daiyu's cheerful voice came from the courtyard.

Xiren got up quickly, wiped the tears on his face, and gave Baochai a quick blessing, saying:
"Miss Lin is here, so I won't bother you for now."

"Thank you girl for being considerate today. If I think about it, I'll talk to girl again."

Baochai nodded, just then Daiyu and Miaoyu came in from outside.

"Assailant?"

Daiyu looked at her suspiciously, and found the tear stains on her face.

"You two are well."

Xiren gave a blessing without haste, and said with a smile:
"It's just been cold for me these few days. I haven't seen Miss Bao for a long time, so I came here to chat for a while."

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and said:
"Oh, it's about this time, I have to go back and serve the second master."

After saying goodbye, he turned around and left.

Daiyu looked at her back, frowned and said:

"Why do I feel that something is wrong with her today?"

Then he turned back and asked Baochai, "Why was she crying here just now?"

Apart from the tear stains on her face, Daiyu could also see that Xiren was pretending to be calm.

The idea is to be careful.

But she is not a fairy after all, it just feels wrong.

Don't know exactly what happened.

"Speaking of which, my sister may not be able to guess that she is here to ask me for help, hoping that I will buy her."

Baochai smiled slightly when she heard this, and did not hide anything from Daiyu.

Said the matter directly.

Daiyu was very surprised when she heard that, and asked in disbelief:

"She...does she want to marry into the Feng family?"

When Baochai saw that she was transparent, she nodded with a smile and said:
"I think so, so I didn't dare to let her get involved."

Speaking of this, Baochai couldn't help but think of the recent chaos in Rongfu.

These days, it can be seen with a little attention.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Rong Mansion is a place where traitors rise up and bully inside and outside.

Some trivial matters can cause a disturbance.

Thinking of these unreasonable slaves, Baochai couldn't help but look serious, and reminded Daiyu and Miaoyu, saying:
"Be careful too, the servants in the Rong Mansion are not easy!"

He sighed and said:

"Hey! It's good to attack people, it's just that the mind is a little loose."

Daiyu also noticed it, and sighed:

"That's right! All these careless people are looking for a new home."

Speaking of this, it is inevitable to say with emotion: "I dare not use such a girl!"

As he spoke, he looked at Qingwen beside him, and said with a smile:
"Girl, it's better to use the stupid one."

???

Qingwen had a question mark on her face, she didn't know why she was talking, but she was mentioned.

She didn't mess with anyone!

"Giggle!"

Seeing Qingwen's appearance, the three sisters all laughed.

Even Yinger couldn't help laughing and said:
"It doesn't matter if you are stupid, you have good looks and good hands, any girl will like it!"

In Lixiangyuan, the tricks of attacking people are easily seen through.

It became a private joke between the sisters.

Above the court, it is rare to be busy with the Ministry of Rites several times a year.

Suddenly, two big jobs came up.

To be precise, it was the envoys of the two vassal states.

Their requests are also very similar, they all seek military assistance from Wei.

Ask the suzerain country to send troops to make decisions for them.

The first group was naturally Fransya's mission, that is, George Stark and his party.

They went all the way from Guangzhou to Nanjing.

Next, it is still a familiar process.

The Nanjing Ministry of Rites heard: Do you want Wei to send troops?

Go directly to the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War stated:

Sorry, when it comes to foreign military use, there must be a military order from the capital.

You said that those people may be from Wei, so no foreign countries were involved?
Excuse me, you Francians are just foreigners.

In short, it is the same as last time.

A ball was kicked into the middle of the capital in a few kicks.

George Stark also came here once, and found Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites familiarly.

In this era, everyone emphasizes "one thing does not bother two masters".

What's more, it was Feng Yibo's job to deal with overseas affairs.

So it was logical that Feng Yibo was responsible for this matter.

In fact, even if Feng Yibo wasn't assigned this job.

He also wanted to recommend himself.

There is no way, whoever makes this work is caused by him.

If someone else disposes of it, maybe it will be disposed of on him.

"Dear Feng, my old friend, we meet again!"

In just half a year, George Stark can already speak Chinese.

Although the accent is a bit weird, it does not hinder communication.

This made Feng Yibo a little surprised, but he quickly greeted with a smile:
"Dear Mr. Stark, it's a pleasure to see you again, but you don't seem to have the same energy as last time."

This is typical, which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.

Feng Yibo was also afraid that he would not understand, so he tried to speak plain words.

When George Stark heard the words, he suddenly remembered what had happened to him, and felt a little downcast.

Then, he said flatteringly, "Dear Feng, you can call me George."

"Yes, Mr. George."

Feng Yibo nodded, then took the initiative to ask:

"Then Mr. George, what is the purpose of coming back this time?"

Just now it was poking at the other party's sore spot, but now it is asking knowingly.

These are all small tricks commonly used in negotiations, but it didn't make other Wei officials think too much.

However, this is not the end.

Before George Stark could reply, Feng Yibo deliberately said:
"But don't say that you want Wei to send troops!"

This is another little trick, blocking everything the other party has to say.

Other Wei officials, especially some old fried dough sticks, smiled knowingly when they heard this.

"There is no way to do this for the time being. You must know that the envoys who came with you also said so."

Seeing that George Stark was blushing from being suppressed, Feng Yibo shrugged, and said again:
"Until now, I haven't got Dawei's permission."

George Stark knew that he couldn't let Feng Yibo continue talking.

Otherwise, this trip will be in vain.

He really didn't expect that this young official was more slick than those old guys in Nanjing.

"Dear Feng, I would like to ask Dawei for help on behalf of Fransiya officials."

George Stark got up, took off his hat and saluted very gentlemanly, and then continued:

"Our goods were taken by a gang of pirates, and our men were killed by them, and our ship was taken by them."

Having said that, George Stark said earnestly with a sad face:
"We have nothing, we can't even go back to our country."

This is a trick used by Sifan, or in other words, it is used by George Stark.

This is how he obtained the land use right of Haojingao.

"Since Mr. George mentioned it, I would like to ask."

Feng Yibo completely ignored the other party's misery, and said with a smile:
"You are an envoy, not a tribute trade group. Why do you have goods?"

This remark directly pointed out what the other party mentioned, which was inconsistent with the rules.

This is not over yet, Feng Yibo continued:
"In addition, I would like to ask, where did you meet the pirates, and how did you confirm that they were Dawei's pirates?"

If it is said that the above is just pointing out the discord, then this sentence is to shirk Wei's responsibility.

Listening to the ears of all the old fried dough sticks, it was like hearing the sound of a fairy.

All the officials of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites cast their approving or adoring glances at Feng Yibo one after another.

The Chinese is profound and profound, like George Stark's half-baked child.

Naturally, he didn't hear the opponent's trap,

He thought Feng Yibo was asking a normal question, so he answered seriously:

"The pirates we met in Haojingao, these ferocious pirates, their leader is the 'Black Dragon King'!"

Afraid that the other party would not believe it, he wanted to gather some witnesses, so he said:

"Businessmen in Guangzhou know him, and you can find out if you ask around in the south."

Feng Yibo waved his hands when he heard the words, and said politely:

"Excuse me, please allow me to interrupt."

Having said that, he showed a smile on his face and confirmed:
"If I heard correctly, you were stationed in Haojingao and encountered robbery, right?"

"That's right!"

George Stark did not doubt that he was there, nodded and confirmed:

"It was at Haojingao that the Black Dragon King robbed us."

"Stop! Wait a minute!"

Feng Yibo got up, crossed his hands, and at the same time looked cold, and asked:

"I have clearly told you last time that Dawei forbids you to station in Haojingao, right?"

"what?"

George Stark didn't understand why Feng Yibo's face suddenly changed when he was fine just now.

Feng Yibo didn't care if he understood or not, he just continued:

"So, you have violated Wei's regulations, as well as the cabinet's resolution."

"As for being robbed or not, that's not important."

All the officials understood what Feng Yibo was talking about, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Feng Yibo waved his hands and said:

"Just wait for the news here!"

After speaking, he got up and led the people outside.

"Fake!"

George Stark cursed behind him.

"Let me remind you, I can understand this sentence."

Feng Yibo looked back at him with cold eyes.

Then he smiled again and said jokingly:

"The court officials who insulted the Great Wei will be punished according to the law."

George Stark was a little flustered immediately, changing the words in his mouth, and said again and again:

"Damn! Oh! No! I'm sorry! Dear Feng, listen to me!"

Feng Yibo smiled freely when he heard the words, and said:
"No need to explain, I will forgive you this time, pay attention next time."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, leaving behind a chic back.

When he could no longer see anyone, George Stark knocked on the table angrily.

"Made! Merda!"
