"My father said you can't speak in front of outsiders, otherwise he will beat me!"
After a while, the little girl finally spoke and told the reason why she didn't speak.
"Is he your father?"
Jia Hui then asked again.
"Uncle...ah!"
Mao San wanted to speak, but Lu Qing swung the scabbard in his face, and he screamed in pain.
"Uncle, he is not my father, he is a kidnapper. He switched me from another kidnapper three years ago!"
Seeing Mao San's tragic situation, the little girl became bolder and told her life story.
"Lu Qing, send the kidnapper to Yingtian Mansion and let him be dealt with severely!"
Having determined that this person was Zhen Yinglian, Jia Hui naturally would not let this kidnapper go. After handling the matter here, Jia Hui ordered his soldiers to continue sneaking in and brought Yinglian to Rongguo Mansion.
After returning to the house and arranging for someone to wash Yinglian, she became very different.
She has a fair face, thick and shiny black hair, white teeth, and bright eyes. There is a rouge mark the size of a grain of rice between her eyebrows, and a pair of almond eyes under her eyebrows, like a pool of clear water.
She does look somewhat similar to Qin Keqing. No wonder the Zhou Rui family would say that she resembles Qin Keqing's character.
"I've met my uncle!"
Arriving at the Hall of Rongxi, Yinglian quickly knelt down and saluted Jia Hui.
"No need to be polite, you can stay in another courtyard for now. I have sent people to find your parents!"
Hearing the maid say that Zhen Yinglian's body was covered with injuries, Jia Hui lamented what she had experienced before. No wonder her temperament had become so cautious.
When she heard about her parents, a trace of confusion and longing flashed in Yinglian's eyes. She had completely forgotten her parents over the years. Now that Jia Hui had rescued him from the kidnapper, this was a complete blessing to her.
Moreover, she had been sold back and forth over the years, and she only wanted to be safe. Thinking of this, Yinglian knelt down in front of Jia Hui again and said:
"Thank you very much, uncle, for the rescue. I am very grateful. I am willing to be a slave in front of my uncle. I beg for your permission!"
Seeing her like this, Jia Hui told him her life experience.
"You are also from a noble family. Now that you have escaped from the prison, just live a good life in the future!"
This is also Jia Hui's sincere words. If we talk about who has the most miserable fate in Dream of Red Mansions, Zhen Yinglian can be said to be the one who deserves pity.
"Uncle, you just said that my slave's family is in decline, so why should you care about your origin anymore? My uncle has a favor for me to rebuild my life. If my uncle doesn't agree, I will kneel down and die here!"
Seeing this, Jia Hui tried to persuade her a few more times, but in the end she didn't change her mind. Thinking that Zhen Shiyin and his wife were having a hard time in Yue's family, she had no choice but to agree temporarily.
Let her make plans after finding her parents. I just don’t know if Zhen Shiyin became a monk with a lame Taoist priest at this time.
...
"Mr. Xue, my third master has said that he won't see you anymore. Why are you so persistent?"
Looking at the pale Xue Wenshan outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Jin Cai couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him.
In the past few days, Xue Wenshan would come here every day to wait for Jia Hui. Even if Jia Hui didn't see her, he was not discouraged.
If Jin Cai hadn't prepared a couch for him, remembering that his Xue family and Jia family were both members of the four major families in Jinling, he might have been unable to hold on and fell ill.
Even Jia Hui admired his perseverance. Logically speaking, he should have died of illness at this time. Unexpectedly, he still had the strength to report outside Rongguo Mansion every day.
"Steward Jin, if you can help me, go and report to me again!"
Seeing Jin Cai coming, Xue Wenshan quickly said to him.
The servant on the side also wisely handed a packet of red envelopes to Jin Cai.
Seeing this, Jin Cai quickly pushed Hong Feng away and glanced nervously at Jia Hui's soldiers at the door.
"Mr. Xue, my third master has made it clear that he won't see you anymore, so please don't embarrass me! Mr. Xue, you and my Jia family are not only relatives, but also members of the four major families. Why do you do this?"
"Alas! I don't know, Butler Jin, but my Xue family is considered a wealthy person in the south of the Yangtze River. I want to share my worries for my uncle. I wonder if Butler Jin can tell me what my uncle's hobbies are? If my Xue family joins my uncle's family, I will give you generous gifts in the future." !”
Jin Cai didn't know why Xue Wenshan wanted to join Jia Hui's sect, or was moved by the generous gift Xue Wenshan said, or because he looked seriously ill, so he sighed and said:
“Mr. , I am already serving my uncle today.
I heard from the people in the inner courtyard that that girl looks like a fairy. My third master is the emperor of the imperial court. Even if you want her, you can get it at your fingertips. There is only this peerless beauty. Which man wouldn’t love her? ?
Since ancient times, Taoist heroes have had trouble with beauties. The Xue family has a lot of wealth, and the south of the Yangtze River is full of beauties. Why doesn't Mr. Xue learn from the salt merchants of Yangzhou? "
After saying these words, Xue Wenshan's eyes lit up.
That's right, he remembered that when he talked about his daughter, Uncle Zhenwu was indeed moved, but he just disliked his daughter's young age.
Thinking of this, Xue Wenshan seemed to have found an idea, thanked Jin Cai, and then hurriedly got on the carriage and returned home.
"Master, you are not in good health, why do you have to run around all day?"
Seeing her master coming back, the second wife of the Xue family felt heartbroken and couldn't help but persuade him.
"I have nothing to do. I have to find a way out for the Xue family while I'm still alive!"
Knowing that his wife felt sorry for him, Xue Wenshan also felt much warmer in his heart.
"Where's Sister Qin?"
Thinking of his daughter, Xue Wenshan asked the second wife.
"She heard that Sister Chai had found an isolated ancient book. She was also curious, so she went to find Sister Chai!"
Hearing Sister Chai's name, Xue Wenshan's heart moved and he seemed to have some ideas.
Jia Hui, as the uncle of the current dynasty and from a royal family, might not look down on the thin horses trained by others.
If you want to be the concubine of Uncle Zhenwu, those thin horses from Yangzhou are not worthy enough.
There is no girl of the right age in my clan, so I am afraid that the eldest sister Chai'er would be a good candidate.
Although being a concubine is a bit embarrassing, it is not too humiliating for him to be a concubine of a current uncle, or even a marquis or a prince in the future.
But thinking about the clan members in the eldest house, Xue Wenshan felt that there was no hope at this time.
It's just an imperial businessman's family. I'm afraid no one would be willing to be a concubine for an uncle. What's more, Sister Chai's biological uncle is the head of the palace, Zhenwu Uncle's biological uncle, and his biological uncle is a two-ranked Jinshi. , was born in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and is now a second-grade Jingying Festival Commander.
Thinking of this, Xue Wenshan couldn't help but shook his head. They didn't know Uncle Zhenwu's unspeakable future, and they were afraid that Uncle Zhenwu would not agree to this matter.
If Sister Chai becomes Uncle Zhenwu's concubine, she will put the faces of Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng on the ground. This is not a marriage, but a feud.
