At the Xuanfu Inn, a maid hesitated and came to her young lady. She didn't know what to say for a long time.
The young lady seemed to have read through this maid's thoughts, which was a bit funny.
"Xiaoxue, I'm trying to embarrass you. If there's anything you can't say, I won't eat you!"
Hearing the young lady's words, the maid seemed to be relieved, and then said: "Miss, it's like this. The young man we rescued before was a little strange. The doctor we invited looked at him for a long time and didn't say anything. He just said this.
The young master's injury is strange, and his pulse is weak but long. If you want treatment, you need to go to the capital to find the Xinglin Sage. There is nothing they can do in a small place like theirs."
When the young lady heard this, her eyebrows tightened.
After thinking for a while, she said aloud: "Does the doctor mean that the young master is not in danger for the time being? But if you want to save people, you need to go to the capital to hire famous doctors?"
When Xiaoxue heard this, her little head nodded twice.
But then his little face wrinkled up again, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"It stands to reason that we have done our best by taking him to the inn and hiring a doctor. If we take him with us along the way..."
Hearing this, the young lady smiled and shook her head.
"You girl, I haven't said that I want to bring you with me yet!!"
Xiaoxue was stunned and didn’t bring it with her??
If this is the case, then the matter will be easier to handle. After all, the other party is a stranger, and the injuries on his body indicate that he has experienced a fight. With such a person, their safety may be threatened.
Just when Xiaoxue was secretly rejoicing, the housekeeper Laifu knocked on the door and came in.
"Miss, I invite you!"
The young lady was stunned. Did her father have something to do with her at this time? The only thing they encountered today was the rescue.
So she asked: "Uncle Fu, what does father want from me?"
The butler cupped his hands and looked a little solemn, but in the end he shook his head and said he couldn't say anything.
When the young lady saw the look of the housekeeper Laifu, she felt something in her heart. Along the way, even if she met those strong men, the housekeeper who had been with her father for a long time had never had such an expression.
"Miss, go to the master's place, and the master will tell you."
Laifu only said this sentence and then nothing more happened.
The young lady looked at the blessing and nodded slightly. She could still control some things.
Not long after, the young lady was led by the housekeeper to another adjacent guest house. At this time, the rich old man was standing in front of a desk with gloomy eyes.
After seeing his daughter come in, he waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to go down first.
After the housekeeper closed the door, he spoke leisurely.
"Baoqin, do you know who the person we rescued today is?"
Yes, these two are the cousins of the Xue family, Xue Ren and Xue Baoqin. They were secretly run against by Jia Yucun. I heard that Wang Xue took Xue Pan to join the Jia family and had some face. As a last resort, they
Come to Beijing to find relatives and seek help.
Jia Yucun followed Jia Qi's instructions to investigate the matter, but he did not deal with Xue Ren openly, but acted secretly. The merchants under Xue Ren did have a lot of Japanese people mixed in, which gave Jia Yucun
The excuse was that it was Jia Qi's order anyway and he just followed it.
It may take a short time to see no effect, but as time goes by, Xue Ren will be made miserable, and he has no choice but to come up with today's plan.
Xue Baoqin was stunned. Listening to what his father meant, the young man he rescued today seemed to have a good background.
"What does father mean??"
Xue Ren sighed and said, "I just asked Laifu to check out the house. I originally thought it was a rich man who met a strongman on the way, but Laifu found something wrong..."
Xue Baoqin asked again.
“What is it??”
Xue Ren narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't want his daughter to see the horror in his eyes.
"There's not much problem with the material. It's made from Shu brocade. Although this kind of thing is expensive, most wealthy people can afford it, but..."
A look of solemnity appeared on Xue Baoqin's delicate little face. She didn't make a mistake before, the material was Shu Brocade, but now according to her father's opinion, the problem is with the clothes, but not the material, so the only choice left is
Just one - embroidery craft.
“There’s something wrong with the embroidery??”
Xue Ren is still very pleased with his ice-snow and smart daughter.
He nodded.
"It's Zhijin."
Xue Baoqin's face changed slightly.
This technique was most commonly used on the court uniforms of officials of this dynasty, and was rarely used in other places. Although there was no explicit rule that other places could not use this method to make clothes, even wealthy merchants did not dare to take a step beyond this.
"Is he a nobleman from the capital??"
Xue Baoqin asked tentatively.
Xue Ren shook his head.
"have no idea."
Yes, he couldn't be sure who that person was, but one thing he was sure of was that they couldn't afford to offend him.
"Then... how old is this young master??"
Xue Baoqin hesitated for a moment, then asked.
No wonder she didn't think more about it. If this person was of high status, the person who took action was definitely not an ordinary person. The Xue family was a family of merchants, and they didn't even have the power to resist against the dignitaries of the imperial court.
"Seventeen or eighteen years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a good skin."
Xue Ren said this with a bit of sourness. When Laifu came back and told him what he had discovered, he went there in person and asked the servant to clean the young master, and he also saw the true face of the young master.
Although he gave birth to a good-looking daughter, he was not a man of good looks, so after seeing the young master's appearance, he felt a little ashamed of himself for the first time.
Seventeen or eighteen years old.
Xue Baoqin sighed inwardly. Speaking of it, the other party is really a young man. He has such a great gift at a young age. Even if he is not a nobleman in the capital, he is probably from a good background.
"Father, how should we deal with this matter?"
Xue Baoqin was astute and knew that it was better to do this sooner rather than later. No matter what the situation was, they needed to make a decision as soon as possible.
Xue Ren's eyes flickered twice, and then he spoke again: "I have asked Mr. Gao to check around. If there is nothing strange nearby, then we will take this person to Beijing. If there are other situations, we will put him down and send him there overnight.
Walk."
Xue Baoqin was silent for a moment, then nodded. I have to say that at present, this approach is the most correct.
If the enemy of the person they rescued has a great background, it will definitely not stop there. They will leave someone behind to express their attitude. If it is another situation and the person encounters a strong person, then it does not matter. Save him
Maybe we can even forge a good relationship.
"Best regards, Father."
Xue Ren shook his head. It was not a wise idea, it was just a means of self-protection.
On the other side, within the capital, something big happened.
In the Daming Palace, Emperor Kangdi of the Ming Dynasty was furious and almost killed Dai Quan with a thousand knives.
