Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 98 The Trick of Selling My Niece

The Xue family's fleet had been waiting for two full days at the Qinghe County pier on the north bank of the Huai River. When the Jia family's boat docked at the pier, Xue Pan had already turned into a "Wanghushi" and was eager to see through it.

Compared with the previous meeting in Jinling, Jia Cong's mood was much lower this time.

At the invitation of Mrs. Xue, Jia She and his son and Daiyu transferred to the Xue family's own big ship, and the accompanying Habayashiro guarded the passenger ship before and after, and quickly left the Jianghuai area in the north.

In the south of the Yangtze River, chaos gradually broke out.

Party disputes, school disputes, Japanese pirates, the White Lotus Sect...

Jia Amnesty's face was bruised and purple, and he stood at the bow of the boat watching the boats going north and south, his thoughts were full of thoughts, and he didn't know how to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Three..."

"father!"

The father and son called each other, but they couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, Jia She let out a long sigh, then gritted his teeth and said, "After returning to Beijing, Dad will take you to beat people!"

"My son also has this idea. The idea of ​​not beating my son doesn't make sense."

Jia Cong touched the warm jade that Lin Ruhai had given him before, and his restless heart was slightly relieved.When the boat arrived in Huai'an yesterday, Jia She deliberately stayed overnight in Huai'an Mansion, rushed into the Governor's Office of Water Transport before dark, and beat Zhongshun Wang Liu Ke into a pig's head, and of course he almost became a pig's head.

In the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion of Water Transport, the two big dandies in the capital staged a hand-to-hand fight, which scared Pei Weisheng so much that he dared not speak.

Before leaving, Jia Cong also took away all the "pork jerky" that Liu Ke had treasured. When he was leaving the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Jia Cong seemed to hear Liu Ke's cry of grief and anger. After taking a bite of the jerky, he felt much happier .

Jia Cong didn't ask his father who he was going to beat when he returned to Beijing, and Jia Amnesty didn't explain too much.The father and son just stood at the bow of the boat blowing the cold wind for a long time before returning to the cabin.

"Hey, Brother Cong, Uncle Eleven said that when he goes to the capital, he will teach me how to practice martial arts!"

Xue Pan ran over from the stern of the boat with an extremely coquettish long knife in his arms, showing off to Jia Cong ecstatically.

After seeing Jia She, he immediately became extremely well-behaved: "Good morning, Mr. She!"

Jia Amnesty waved his hands and said, "Okay, don't be so strict in the future, you two can go and play..."

As he spoke, he walked forward at a leisurely pace, and just as Xue Pan breathed a sigh of relief, Jia Amnesty's voice came again: "Brother Pan, come here, I have something to ask you!"

……

Xue Pan was called into the cabin by Jia She, and after entering, Jia She didn't hesitate at all, and asked straightforwardly: "Is there anything else for your mother to take you and Bao girl to the capital besides temporarily avoiding the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"what?"

Jia Amnesty's question made Xue Pan a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er. He scratched his head for a long time before he slapped his forehead: "I remembered, my mother received a letter from my uncle before, and then I made up my mind to go to the capital as soon as possible."

"Do you know the contents of the letter..."

Xue Pan shook his head, and said nonchalantly, "Uncle hasn't written many letters in recent years, maybe it's because of missing relatives. Let's invite mother to Beijing for a reunion."

Jia Amnesty thought of the former imperial merchant Xue Gong, who dominated Shang Hai with ease, and couldn't help but secretly sighed that Xue Pan was too simple and straightforward.

If the Xue family is really handed over to him, if they can persist for three to five years, it will be regarded as smoke from the Xue family's ancestral grave.

What kind of person is Wang Ziteng?Will he do such useless work?
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Father, it's better for the son to ask the aunt directly. Now the situation in the court is complicated, and if you make a wrong step, you may step into the abyss. We have to guard against it!"

"Ah? Brother Cong, is there any danger for my family to enter Beijing?"

Xue Pan will be even more confused now, but Jia She patted him on the shoulder and explained: "It's not dangerous, I'm just worried that your family will be cheated. In this way, you two will go to your mother and say it's me. I asked, what did your uncle say in his letter?"

In Xue Pan's heart, Jia Amnesty's prestige is comparable to that of gods. Hearing Jia Amnesty's order, he immediately patted his chest and went to another cabin with Jia Cong.

After knocking on the door and entering, the mother and daughter of the Xue family were sorting out the account books.

This time when they entered Beijing, most of the Xue family's shops in the south of the Yangtze River were sold off, and they were exchanged for bank notes and put in the cash box.

Seeing Xue Pan leading Jia Cong in, Mrs. Xue asked suspiciously: "Didn't you go to learn martial arts from Mr. Shiyi, why did you come back so soon?"

Without waiting for Xue Pan to respond, she enthusiastically pulled Jia Cong to sit down, brought a plate of exquisite dim sum and said, "Brother Cong, sit down quickly and try the new dim sum made by your sister Bao."

"Mother, my son wants to eat too!"

Xue Pan watched his own mother warmly greet Jia Cong to eat delicious snacks, and his sister made tea with her own hands, feeling like she was picked up.

It wasn't until Baochai handed him a cup of tea that he sat aside aggrieved and took a sip, which became even bitterer.

Jia Cong tasted a piece of dim sum and praised it before he got down to business.

After listening to Jia Cong's question, Mrs. Xue hesitated whether to answer truthfully.On the contrary, Baochai had hope in his eyes, and he gently shook Mrs. Xue's arm.

"Mother, Brother Cong is right. Although our family is not a family of officials, the imperial merchants and imperial merchants have the emperor's name on them. We don't know the situation in the court, so we should ask She Gong to analyze it for us, just in case If you make a wrong step, the Xue family will be destroyed in our hands."

Baochai of the Xue family deserves to be the brains of the Xue family.

Mrs. Xue was silent for a long time, and finally turned the hesitation in her heart into a long sigh, and said to Jia Cong: "Pan'er's uncle has sent two letters, and wants Sister Bao to participate in next year's election and earn a share for Xue's family." Future out!"

"Oh!"

Jia Cong slapped the table beside him, startling the Xue family mother and son in the cabin.

"Brother Cong..."

"Sure enough, it's another trick to sell his niece. Doesn't Wang Ziteng have other skills? Relying on selling his niece to plot against others is shameless and inhuman!"

Jia Cong was very irritable, and the elder sister in the palace was still suffering, but Wang Ziteng had another idea about his niece.

In the original book, there is a life lawsuit against Xue Pan, and Baochai has not waited to pass the small election for some reason.But now that Feng Yuan is not dead, as long as Wang Ziteng operates a little bit, there will definitely be no problem with Baochai's entry into the palace.

Who is the last person in the Xue family who can support the family business?Isn't it Baochai?

When Baochai entered the Forbidden City, relying on the weak-tempered Mrs. Xue and the stubborn Xue Pan, within two years, the Xue family should change their surname to Wang.

And Wang Ziteng holds Xue's mother and son in his hands, how can Baochai in the palace not obey his orders?
tsk tsk!
Wang Ziteng, Wang Ziteng, you really deserve to be the most ruthless and calculating person in the four major families of Jia, Wang, Xue and Shi.

"mother……"

Xue Baochai's voice brought the angry Jia Cong back to his senses, and when he took a closer look, Mrs. Xue looked unhappy, and Xue Pan looked at the person who had just scolded his uncle angrily with his big mouth.

Only Baochai held her mother's arm worriedly and shook it gently.

Jia Cong explained bluntly: "Maybe my aunt doesn't know that Uncle Wang personally arranged for Xiaoxuan to enter the palace for my elder sister Yuanchun..."

"How is it possible? Sister Yuan is the eldest daughter of the government, how could it be Xiaoxuan?"

Mrs. Xue couldn't even care about her anger now, she exclaimed and asked: "My sister wrote to me saying that although Sister Yuan missed the general election that year, she entered the palace and became a female official through the way of Lady Zhen, but If given the opportunity, it will soar into the sky..."

"Before my nephew came to Jiangnan, I had an audience with the palace. When I saw my eldest sister, she had just been punished and was cleaning Fengxian Hall by herself."

Jia Cong scolded angrily: "The eldest girl of the Duke's mansion, her grandmother is Mrs. Chaopin, her uncle is the first-class general Shenwei, and her uncle is Du Taiwei Commanding County Bo, Jingying Festival Dushi... Auntie, how many years has Eldest Sister been in the palace? In her twenties, she is still a female official with no rank, and she has been bullied to this point. Do you think Elder Sister Bao can be better than Eldest Sister when she goes to the palace?"

"But...but this matter was brought up by Sister Bao's uncle..."

Mrs. Xue just wanted to say that an uncle would never harm her own niece, but when Jia Cong talked about Yuan Chun's situation, she immediately felt a stabbing pain in her head and fell limp on the bed.

"mother……"

"Mother……"

"Is aunt okay?"

Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward to check on Mrs. Xue's condition, only to see Mrs. Xue's face was pale and her hands were trembling.

His eyes were full of disbelief, his lips trembled and he repeated a sentence: "Impossible, brother won't harm me..."

Ugh!
Baochai looked at Jia Cong pleadingly, Jia Cong nodded and said, "I'll go find Mr. Li right away!"

……

Mrs. Xue was only frightened for a moment, and it will be much better after a soup.

Jia Amnesty came here in person, regardless of etiquette, closed the door and had a long secret discussion with Mrs. Xue.

When Daiyu heard the news and came, Jia Cong was waiting quietly outside the cabin with the Xue family brothers.

"Brother Cong... Sister Bao, is Aunt okay?"

When Baochai saw Daiyu, her pretty face was still pale, and the sadness between her brows had not gone away, but after receiving the news, she got up from the sick bed to visit her mother, and her heart warmed.

She stepped forward to hold Daiyu's hand and replied, "I've already taken the medicine. Mr. Li said that it was just a momentary panic, and it will be fine after a few more doses. Why did my sister come out? How about it?"

Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "It's all right, I've been bored in the cabin for a long time, it's better to go out for a walk..."

With a creak, the sound of the hatch opening interrupted their conversation.

Jia Amnesty came out of the cabin, glanced at the crowd, rubbed Jia Cong's head, and said to Baochai and Xue Pan: "After returning to Beijing, you and your mother will go live in Rongguo Mansion first. Brother Pan is going to the clan school to study, and at the same time he is practicing martial arts with his own soldiers. As for the matter of Bao girl, I will take care of it myself, so you can rest assured."

Xue Baochai hurriedly bowed down to thank him. Although Xue Pan said that he was extremely displeased with the sentence of "Jinzuology", he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Jia Amnesty, and followed his sister to bow down.

Jia Amnesty waved his hands indifferently and said, "Go and serve your mother. Brother Cong and Maid Yu will follow me."

……

Jia Amnesty looked at the youngest son who was spreading blankets for Daiyu and offering hot tea to ask about her health. Not only did he not feel that his son was worthless, but he nodded appreciatively.

After Daiyu blushed and reminded Jia Cong in a low voice, Jia Amnesty coughed lightly and gave an overview of his conversation with Mrs. Xue.

He finally sighed deeply: "See, how vulnerable a family is after losing the person who stood up to it. Brother Cong, you are now carrying the hopes of the Jia and Lin families on your back, you should work hard Already!"
