“Father-in-law, those gangsters are going to die!”
"Um!"
Deng An only responded and said nothing more. He didn't care about the life or death of these people at all.
Now he just wants to wait for the Qin siblings to come back and tell them that there is no need to worry.
However, an hour passed quickly, and when it was almost dark, there was still no sign of the Qin siblings coming back.
How could Deng An know that the Qin brothers and sisters knew that the debt collector was coming, so they had no intention of coming back. It would be useless to wait for tomorrow.
"Father, it's time to go back. If you don't go back... the palace door will be locked!"
Hearing this, Deng An sneered and said, "You haven't finished your errand, so why don't you go back and ask for a beating?"
"Keep waiting. Just go back and report the news personally!"
"yes!"
So their group was divided into two groups. Except for two people who returned to the palace to report the news, the others stayed with Deng An in the Qin family.
However, this wait, the night passed, and the time came to the next day.
The imperial sacrificial activities began as usual, and Zhu Jinghong had to go with the prince.
Thinking that the Qin family's case would not change in the near future, Zhu Jinghong just told Deng An to act cheaply, and then he immersed himself in the sacrificial ceremony.
The rituals for royal families to worship ancestors in heaven and earth are complex and involve a wide range of matters, but for ordinary people, it is not so complicated and can be completed in a day or two.
It is now the fourth day of the first lunar month, which is the day to visit relatives and friends, at least this is the case for the Xue family.
Although he didn't really want to go out, he couldn't bear to go with his mother and brother, so Baochai had no choice but to go with him.
Of course, if she really didn't want to go, she could excuse it by claiming she was ill, but thinking about Daiyu, whom he hadn't seen for many days, he decided to go and have a look.
When the Xue family came to visit during the New Year, the Jia family welcomed him very much, but without the courtesy they received before, only Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing came to greet him at the second door.
Obviously, Yuanchun's appointment as Crown Princess has improved the Jia family's self-awareness, so welcoming the Xue family will naturally not be too grand.
Of course, the three Xue family members didn't care about this.
As soon as Xue Pan arrived at Rongguo Mansion, he went to Ningguo Mansion before entering. Apparently he thought it was more fun to be with Jia Zhen.
The mother and daughter of the Xue family came to Jia Mu's courtyard to pay New Year greetings and greetings. The crowd of women seemed particularly lively.
After Baochai had greeted the others, Daiyu came over and said with a resentful look on her face: "Sister Baochai, you're finally here. I thought you weren't coming!"
Holding Daiyu's slender hand, Baochai couldn't help but smile and said: "There is a beautiful woman here, and you will never forget it when you see her; if you don't see her for a day, you will miss her like crazy..."
After reading this sentence, Baochai couldn't help but joked: "It seems... Girl Lin likes me!"
At this time Tanchun interjected: "It's a pity that Sister Lin is not a man, otherwise she and Sister Bao would be a perfect match!"
Daiyu didn't worry, she raised her eyebrows and said: "Hmph... If I were a man, I would first teach the talkative girl a lesson. How can I be a younger sister and arrange for two older sisters!"
Compared to Daiyu and Baochai, Tanchun is younger and is indeed her younger sister, so Daiyu can naturally teach them such a lesson.
Hearing these words, Tanchun hid behind Baochai, glanced at Daiyu and said, "Is this the end of my sister's life? Sister Yingchun and sister Bao haven't spoken yet!"
Unexpectedly, Yingchun, who was mentioned, said: "The first month of the year is a festive time, you guys, please don't make trouble and make the old ladies and ladies unhappy!"
What does it mean to ruin the scenery? Yingchun gave a standard demonstration, and it immediately became a chatter.
After everyone laughed awkwardly, they could only end the topic.
Villeroy Baochai had a good relationship with Daiyu, and they were sitting alone in a corner talking quietly.
It seems that there are too many people here and it is not convenient to talk. After only staying in the living room for more than ten minutes, Baochai was pulled out by Daiyu.
The two chased and fought, showing the girl's innocence and romance.
Only at this time will Baochai shed all "disguise" and transform into the most real version of herself.
The two chased each other all the way, and finally returned to Daiyu's room. Now they were tired, so they sat at the desk to rest.
"Girl, hand stove!"
"Miss Bao, take it too!"
Zijuan brought two hand stoves and gave one to each of Daiyu and Baochai. It was extremely warm to hold in their hands.
Baochai felt the warmth and thought of Zhu Jinghong who was participating in the sacrifice. She couldn't help but worry about this man for a moment.
I don't know if it's cold outside in such a freezing and snowy environment... Baochai had these strange thoughts in his mind.
"I haven't seen you for a day, and I miss you like crazy... Sister Bao's eyebrows are clustered, but I don't know who she is thinking about!" Daiyu returned the words to Baochai unchanged.
"Girl... what I'm worried about is your marriage!"
Baochai continued seriously: "Now that you are older, it will be time to get married in two or three years. Someone should consider this for you!"
Knowing that Baochai was changing the subject, Daiyu was not annoyed at all, but immediately changed the topic: "The elders have the final say on this matter. I am not as lucky as Sister Bao, and I found my right husband in the palace!"
Seeing Daiyu clinging to her tightly, Baochai felt that she should be a little more cruel.
"Speaking of this palace... girl, in a few days, I'm afraid you will have to enter the palace once!"
"Me? Sister Bao, please stop joking!" Daiyu didn't take it seriously and felt that Baochai was changing the subject again.
"I'm not kidding, the Queen has summoned me this time, and she will issue an edict in a few days!"
All joking aside, now that the queen was moved out, Daiyu had to believe that what Baochai said was probably true.
"Why did the empress summon me?" Daiyu was puzzled.
How could she, a little-known little girl, receive such courtesy?
"That's a good question. The empress's summons this time is the grace someone asked for you!"
When she said this, Baochai couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and secretly scolded Zhu Jinghong for being a frivolous carrot, eating from the bowl, looking into the pot, and staring at the ground.
"Who gave me the grace I asked for?"
Daiyu's tone was full of dissatisfaction, she just felt that this person had caused trouble for her, and she was not willing to go to the palace to cause trouble.
Rubbing the stove, Baochai said with a smile: "Who else can I have, it's the Thirteenth Master you miss so much!"
"It's him……"
When Daiyu's thoughts were racing, Baochai said with half sourness and half emotion: "Girl, this man is sending you medicinal materials, giving you sachets, and begging you for grace... I see, he I’m probably attracted to you!”
Baochai's words were so reasonable that Daiyu's face turned red for a moment, and she unconsciously thought of the scene of receiving the sachet.
Originally Baochai was joking, but seeing Daiyu's reaction made her even more uneasy.
No way, no way, Lin Yatou also likes Zhu Shisan?
He's just a reckless man who doesn't study. It's okay for me to fall in love with him. Why do so many people like him...
For a moment, Baochai thought of Yang Jingting, Zhen Qin, and Xiangyun who was "ready to make a move", and of course...and this girl Lin in front of her.
But in fact, she was overthinking Xiangyun and Daiyu, and they didn't have that much interest in Zhu Jinghong at least yet.
However, Baochai loves her too deeply, so she is thinking so much at this moment. Such a mood can be said that extreme love will hurt.
