"Sister Xiangling, what's wrong with you?"
In the yard, Xiang Ling had a sullen face, without the smile of the past. Seeing her like this, Xue Yan was a little worried and pulled her to whisper.
Xiangling hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Today I saw the big bad guy who wanted to buy me again today! I saw him running into Lixiang Garden!!"
Hearing this, Xue Yan exclaimed, and then she covered her mouth. She glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one. She knew where Lixiangyuan was. That's where Aunt Xue's family from Jinling stayed temporarily.
So the person who wanted to buy her was not a member of the Xue family. Xue Yan only thought that Xiang Ling was the maid brought by the master from Yangzhou, and she was still a little uneasy. She was a little girl and didn't even think about it. Xiangling is obviously from Jinling, why did it end up in Yangzhou again?
"how so?"
There was a trace of fear on Xiangling's face. She had no good impressions of that bully from Jinling. Now that Jia Qi was no longer around, she was also afraid.
In the house, Daiyu was at the desk by the window, her brows furrowed. Her father had only said that Xiangling was abducted and bought by Jia Qi, but he didn't want to have anything to do with the Xue family. She couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. , his father doesn’t know who bought Xiangling in the first place.
She blinked, pressed the paper on the table with the paperweight, stood up and walked out. Seeing Xiangling and Xueyan still looking sad, Daiyu pinched her waist and said, "What are you afraid of, you idiot?"
Hearing Daiyu's words, Xiangling was a little embarrassed, "I heard that the Xue family is a distinguished guest in the house, and I am just a little maid~~"
Daiyu snorted softly, "How dare he? Brother Qi is going to return to the court. Let me tell you, it's them who should be afraid. Don't underestimate your uncle's power. A marquis is not something that an imperial merchant can mess with." He can make that bad guy disappear from the world with just one word!"
Xiang Ling blinked and was a little confused. This was the first time she heard someone talk about how powerful Jia Qi was! She didn't seem to believe it. She raised her little head and kept looking at Daiyu.
Daiyu was amused by her appearance. She stretched out her hand and gently tapped Xiangling's forehead, "You silly girl, you don't care about anything on weekdays, but in the end you scare yourself. If you are with me now, even if If Brother Qin hasn't come back, the Xue family still dare to reach out to me?"
Daiyu said this with confidence. The Xue family was in decline now. His father was now a member of the Holy Family, a minister, and a cabinet minister. No matter who he was, the Xue family could not afford to offend him. She never uses this status to oppress others, but if it really offends her, then just ask for luck! They say rabbits bite when they are anxious! What's more, she is still full of thorns.
Seeing that Daiyu didn't seem to be lying, Xiangling nodded, "Then what should I do if I run into him in the future?"
Seeing that Xiang Ling was still like this, Daiyu shook her head helplessly, "Whenever you come here from now on, you can just stay with me. Is that okay?"
In Lixiang Garden, Xue Pan looked excited. He had seen an acquaintance before. He thought he would never see him again in this life, and he didn't want to see him again in Jia's house.
As soon as he sat down, he asked his sister excitedly: "Sister, did you know that there is a girl in Jia's family with a rouge mole between her eyebrows??"
Baochai was slightly stunned, how could her brother know about Xiangling, so she asked: "How did brother know?"
Xue Pan patted his thigh and said excitedly: "Sister, I want you to know that in Jinling three years ago, she was the person I was dating with that nerd Feng, but I don't know why she came to Jia's house! "
Generally speaking, outsiders are not allowed to enter the back house without permission. Xiangling follows Daiyu and never leaves the house. Even when she goes out, she rides in a small sedan. There are very few opportunities to see outsiders. Lixiangyuan, where Aunt Xue lives, It is close to the northwest corner of the street, so Xue Pan has fewer chances to see Xiangling and Daiyu. Therefore, in the two years since he came to Jia's house, Xue Pan has not seen Xiangling.
It's just that the champion who has swept the nine sides in the past few days has returned to the court. Some noble friends he has made outside want him to help move around, and see if he can invite some men from the Jia family to come out and drink together. Enhance your relationship with each other.
Xue Pan knew many people in the mansion, but not many could be pulled out by him, so his first target was Jia Baoyu, followed by Jia Zhen and Jia Lian.
Those are the men in the Jia family. The older generation Jia Zheng and Jia She can't invite him, and they don't dare to invite him. The younger generation Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Baoyu are all good at playing. As for the others, People are not taken seriously by him yet. After all, the future of the house is in the hands of the head of the family.
Not before, he was thinking of calling Baoyu, but accidentally saw Xiangling. He almost ran over just now, but he thought that this was not the Xue family, not Jinling, but the Jia family, so he finally Stepping back from the brink.
When Baochai heard this, his face changed and he said nervously: "Brother! Don't mention this matter again. Now that person is following Miss Lin to listen to her. Normally, she is as good as a sister. If you want to learn from her, It’s probably harder than climbing to the sky to snatch people away!!”
When Xue Pan heard this, he also gasped. After coming to the capital, he saw the power of those noble and powerful ministers. He was no longer as presumptuous as Jinling. In Jinling, he could be a stupid overlord. When he came to the capital, , if you still want to be arrogant, you will be taught how to behave by those real big shots in minutes.
Let's just talk about the former grandson of Qi Muhou, Ma Changqing. He was an arrogant and domineering person. When he opened his mouth, he was the uncle, and when he closed his mouth, he was the uncle. His mouth was smashed by the third prince.
He knew very clearly which people he could mess with and which people he couldn't mess with. If he accidentally kicked someone on the steel plate, his head would be broken and bleeding would be minor.
The ministers in the cabinet are one of them. Most of them are ministers or the top bosses of the Supervisory Council. They can really smash an imperial businessman to pieces with just their words.
Then there are the top figures in the noble lineage of the current dynasty, the two princes, and several marquises. Even if their ancestors are not as high as their current peers, meeting them will definitely be like an egg against a stone, and he will not. stupid.
Who was Lin Daiyu? He had heard his sister mention it. She was the only daughter of Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai was now the Minister of Rites and a cabinet minister. She was not someone their family could afford to offend.
After a moment of silence, Xue Pan still asked reluctantly: "Are you really not from the Jia family??"
Baochai shook his head, smiled bitterly, and patiently consoled him: "Brother, don't be stupid, no one can save you then! Baoyu had a falling out with Miss Lin because of this little girl before. For a long time, Miss Lin I didn’t even come to my house again~”
Hearing Baochai's words, Xue Pan couldn't help but sigh, and said with some regret: "Oh~ What a pity~"
