Chapter 543: Xue Ren visits and meets Baoqin for the first time
It was another lively night. A carriage coming from Jiangnan in the early morning broke the long-lost silence of Lixiang Garden.
In the Duke Rong's Mansion, Aunt Xue was waiting in the courtyard with Baochai, while Xue Pan was standing at the door. However, he seemed a little impatient at this time and was wandering back and forth at the door.
"Tingtao, go ahead and see where they are?"
Xue Pan then said to the boy next to him that in the morning he heard from his servants that an uncle of his was coming, and his mother had started making arrangements early in the morning.
It's just that it's almost noon, and there's still no one around, which makes Xue Pan, the dull overlord, feel a little impatient.
On the other side, a carriage went around and around, and finally arrived at Ningrong Street. They called at their door and explained their purpose of coming. After accepting the favor, the concierge smiled and pointed the way to them.
In the carriage, Xue Ren's heart suddenly became complicated. After traveling all over the country for so many years, he had met a lot of people, but the grandeur of the Jia family still made him feel a little confused.
It has to be said that after the imperial court agreed to the royal concubine's marriage, the palace was reorganized inside and out. At first glance, the first impression given by people is not one of dignity and wealth.
On the other carriage, Xue Baoqin was not too happy. She could detect something strange from the concierge's tone and demeanor.
My aunt's life in the Jia Mansion was not as satisfactory as she had imagined. After all, the Xue family came from a business background. Although they had the title of imperial merchant, merchants were still merchants after all.
There is already a class gap between this kind of noble family. I heard that a noble concubine has recently been born in the Jia family, and her appearance is even more prosperous. My aunt came here with Xue Pan, and I am afraid that there are also ordinary days.
Accepted.
The carriage was neither fast nor slow, and the wheels creaked. Xue Baoqin was also mentally preparing for how to speak and behave when he saw his aunt.
As for the affairs in Jiangnan, she didn't care much about it now. When they came to the capital, she heard some gossip.
Now Jiangnan is probably in chaos, and those people probably don't have the time or thought to cause trouble for them. However, she is still concerned about one thing. The capital is also in chaos, and they don't know if they go to Beijing to seek help.
Blessing or curse!
“Girl, what should we do with that person??”
On the carriage, Xue Baoqin's personal maid remembered something and mentioned it casually.
Xue Baoqin was stunned and did not react immediately. That person?
After a moment of silence, Xue Baoqin suddenly realized who the person her maid was talking about was.
They rescued the man on the road, the young master whose origin was unknown and who was still unconscious.
Since the last incident, Xue Ren has arranged for people to get into another carriage alone.
"I'll wait until I meet my aunt and the owner of the house and settle down before I go ask for medical treatment!"
"By the way, my father said that he has asked his servants to buy real estate in the capital. You and Uncle Fu will unload the things over there first. The same goes for that person. I will tell my father and put them over there for the time being.
Bar!"
The maid hesitated a bit when she heard Xue Baoqin's words.
"Girl, after all, that young master is a foreigner. It is against the rules to take him with you on the road. He is arranged to be kept in the house. If this spreads out, I am afraid that the girl's maiden name will be affected!"
Xue Baoqin was silent when he heard this.
My father's intention is very clear. If this young man of unknown origin can make friends, he must not make enemies. In the final analysis, his plan...
"I'll go talk to my father later and see what he decides?"
When the maid heard this, she nodded. The master is very measured in his dealings, so he should have taken all of this into consideration.
But looking at the carriage in front of her, the little maid remained silent. In fact, there was one thing she didn't dare to say. If the master planned to use the young lady as a bargaining chip to seduce the young master, the young lady seemed to have no other choice.
The little maid couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought that even her own young lady couldn't decide her own marriage.
But soon, this unhappiness disappeared. She was just a maid who had to depend on others to survive, so who had the right to worry about her master's life?
Not long after, Xue Ren brought Xue Baoqin to Lixiang Garden.
Although Aunt Xue also bought a house in the capital, she thought she could enjoy the shade with her back against a big tree and take advantage of the influence of the Jia family, so she stayed here.
Speaking of which, Aunt Xue's plan has achieved her goal. Xue Pan has indeed caused a lot of trouble during her time in Beijing. If it were not for the care of the Jia family, the Xue family would have been seriously injured, and with the
The Champion's House has nothing to do with it. As far as these few things are concerned, Aunt Xue's plan has achieved results beyond expectations.
"Sir, people are coming, people are coming!"
Tingtao jogged back, panting.
When Xue Pan heard the boy's report, there was a look of surprise on his face. He had been standing there all morning. If no one came, he would give up his job.
Seeing Xue Ren coming down, Xue Pan's mood suddenly became a little complicated, because Xue Ren and his father looked quite similar. At first glance, he thought he was seeing his father. Although Xue Pan was a dull overlord, he was also afraid.
Among the people, one is the expressionless father, the second is the crying mother, and the third is the sister who is full of pear blossoms and rain.
Of course, there is one more person to add now, and that is the smiling champion.
However, he has not seen Jia Qi again in the past few days. Even if the turmoil in the capital has become like this, the Marquis has not come out to take charge of the overall situation.
"Is it Pan'er? I haven't seen him in the past few years. He has grown taller and stronger!"
After hearing Xue Ren's words, Xue Pan also quickly saluted.
"Xue Pan has met his uncle!!"
Xue Ren knew what kind of virtue Xue Pan was, but when it came to the situation, he, as an elder, had to say what he should say and do what he should do.
"Why are you being so polite to me, kid? It's just about my eldest brother back then..."
Speaking of which, Xue Pan's father died young. If calculated according to the ages of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, Xue Pan's father and Jia Zheng are about the same age. However, one is still well, while the other has been buried in the loess.
among.
When Xue Pan heard this, he unknowingly aroused his own sadness. Although his father was more harsh on him, if he caused trouble, there would always be someone to take care of him. It was not like now, once he caused trouble, he would be punished.
Only your mother and sister would be worried, right?
At this moment, Xue Pan suddenly felt that he should grow up.
"Father!!"
At this moment, another voice came over, Xue Pan subconsciously raised his head, but the next moment, he was stunned on the spot.
