“Mr.
Xue Pan looked a little embarrassed. This time he had volunteered himself. If he couldn't even invite anyone back, he would be embarrassed.
"Steward Xu, this life-saving grace may be casual to the Marquis, but it is not like that to me, Xue Pan. I, Xue Pan, am a rough man. If I don't thank you, this... .How can I gain a foothold in the capital in the future?"
“Mr.
Xue Pan was stunned when he heard Xu Yuanhui's words.
Immediately he said ecstatically: "Did the Marquis promise to reward me?"
Xu Yuanhui nodded, but he was a little confused in his heart. The Xue family was just a declining imperial merchant. Why would Jia Qi pay homage to this family to eat?
And the Xue Pan in front of him is just a playboy. Why did Jia Qi save him in the first place? ?
However, although he was confused, since Jia Qi had given the order, he had nothing to say. He greeted Xue Pan and turned around to go back home.
When Xue Pan saw Jia Qi enjoying the honor, he felt so proud that he couldn't be more happy. He mounted his tall horse and walked back with a happy face.
Capital, Daming Palace.
Dai Quan had just rested when he suddenly saw a secret guard appear and deliver a secret report to him.
"Looking for Xu Yuantu, didn't you see that the Za family just took a rest??"
"Internal Minister, Mr. Xu has gone to Jiangnan,"
Hearing what the secret guard said, Dai Quan couldn't help but choke himself to death.
"What's going on again??"
Dai Quan knew that the secret guard was an agency directly under Emperor Mingkang, and that important information would generally not go through him and would be sent directly to Emperor Mingkang's royal palace. However, most of the information given to him was trivial or trivial. These people don't want to take the blame. He was disgusted by Xu Yuantu last time, so except for the palace affairs, he will not care about anything else.
"Champion Hou Jiaqi..."
After hearing only three words, Dai Quan felt that his head was going to explode. In the past few days, the person Emperor Mingkang was careful about was this young Marquis.
He waved his hand and said directly: "Stop~~"
Then he threw the secret report back in his hand and said in a sharp voice: "You should send such information directly to the emperor's imperial palace instead of informing the miscellaneous family!! Is this how Xu Yuantu taught you to do things?? "
Seeing Dai Quan's rage, the secret guard didn't say much. After receiving the information, he hid in the darkness again.
When Dai Quan saw that there was no movement for a long time, he curled his lips in disdain. He wanted to use him as a spearman, but they were not qualified.
.......
On the other side, after Mrs. Wang learned about entering the painting from Zhou Rui's family, she smiled coldly. She was not afraid that she would be arrogant and domineering, but that she would behave herself. If the other party kept to herself, she would not be able to touch him.
"From Zhou Rui's family, take two people to capture the guy, collect the evidence, and send it to Yingtianfu Yamen..."
Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Zhou Rui's face changed. What is his master planning to do? ?
"Madam, isn't it a bit embarrassing to bring this matter to public attention...?"
Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes. If she didn't do this, how could she vent her anger? ?
These people in the house are all good at adapting to the situation. Xichun is too tricky. For the sake of the overall situation, the old lady may not necessarily deal with that girl just because Baoyu was humiliated.
Since then, she can only plan this matter by herself. It's funny to say that her noble son has been insulted, but she can't blame the culprit. She can only plot against a maid next to him. However, Even if she is a little maid, she still wants that little hooves to know who cannot be offended.
“Don’t ask too many questions that you shouldn’t!!”
Zhou Rui's family member shuddered uneasily, lowered his head quickly, and said yes repeatedly.
Then Zhou Rui's family left the Xifu with a few women and a few boys. With the sign of Ruoguo Gongfu, it was very simple to collect evidence. When they heard that Rongguo Gongfu was punishing the slaves, they naturally cheered.
To deal with a slave, Zhou Rui's family acted quickly, and soon he was taken to the Yingtian Mansion Yamen.
Everything moved very quickly, and before Xichun could react, the uncle had already been thrown into jail.
And the evidence is solid.
At the beginning of noon, a carriage arrived at the Northeast Street Gate of Duke Rong's Mansion. First, a girl in red stuck her head out of the carriage. This person was none other than the housekeeper of the Champion House— — Cai Luan.
"Forget it, I won't go down, that girl Xue Panben is annoying to look at!! I'll pick you up in an hour!!"
Then another voice came from the carriage, "Stop making trouble, go back and put on your clothes, don't freeze!!"
After that, Jia Qi got off the carriage and stretched out his hand to push back a little head.
"Go back and stay well with your sister Cai Luan. The capital has not been peaceful recently. It is inevitable that there will be some sneaky thieves doing stupid things that don't care about life and death!!"
"Uncle~~"
"Be obedient~~"
"I got it~~"
In this extremely luxuriously decorated carriage, there were two beauties, one large and one small, none other than Cai Luan and Xiang Ling. Cai Luan fiddled with the small jade sword in his hand. The jade sword had a very special texture and an extremely strange shape. Without the sword, The handle is no different from a hairpin, and there is a ray of yellow breath flowing on it.
"Little girl, you have to take this thing with you. As long as it's here, no one in the world can hurt us!!"
Xiangling touched the lotus hairpin on her bun and nodded shyly.
"Sister Cai Luan, have you noticed that the uncle has become very strange since he and Miss Lin came back from Jiangnan!"
"You mean that little bastard's big sister??"
Speaking of this name, Xiang Ling's face suddenly turned red.
"Uncle is not her brother!!"
Cai Luan chuckled, "Maybe that little bastard likes this tone more!!"
Xiangling folded her hands in front of her chest and said urgently: "No! That's not what I'm talking about!!"
Cai Luan's eyes were a little suspicious, "Then what are you little girl talking about??"
Xiangling thought for a moment and said, "Uncle...Uncle seems to be much more casual than before~~"
Cai Luan smiled and shook her head, "You are very thoughtful, but isn't this bad?"
Xiangling hesitated for a moment, "But like this, more and more people like the uncle!! What if the uncle doesn't like us??"
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Cai Luan chuckled upon hearing this.
She pulled Xiang Ling over and said with a smile: "Now I know I'm afraid!! Then you should grow up quickly!! Your uncle Qin takes pity on you. If you don't open your body, he won't touch you!!"
In the Lixiang Garden, there were two more people at this time. One was the eldest girl of the Shi family, Shi Xiangyun, who happened to come to Jia's house today. Jia Baoyu made such a fuss in the morning, and she couldn't be with Baoyu, so she came In Lixiangyuan, I plan to reminisce with Baochai.
"Sister Bao, are you telling the truth??"
A trace of helplessness flashed in Baochai's eyes. Should it be a coincidence or an unlucky thing that Xiangyun came here? If it was an unlucky thing, then when the other party came at this time, he would meet Jia Qi, who was invited by their family. The distinguished guests that I was able to invite this time were all due to some luck! !
If it's a coincidence, it's not a coincidence for the Xue family. Their family planned to hold a banquet to thank Jia Qi, and Xiangyun's arrival would disrupt their family's thank you banquet.
But more importantly, their family cannot drive Xiangyun away, because this is the Duke of Rong's Mansion, not their Xue Mansion. They are just relying on it. How can they have the qualifications to drive people away, and she is also the eldest girl of the Shi family? But she's the old lady's daughter.
"It's true~~"
Now that this matter has become a foregone conclusion, Baochai did not continue to argue, but quickly calmed down and said to Xiangyun with a smile.
When Xiangyun heard Baochai's answer, a flash of excitement flashed in her eyes. She had not seen that boy since she met him once years ago.
Although she knew that it was probably impossible for that person to die on her own, she couldn't help but think about it in her heart.
Although there are many good men in the world, there is only one such outstanding brother.
When Xue Pan heard the servant's report, he had already walked out in a hurry. He was still imagining that when he saw the real person, he must show off all the skills he had learned in daily life, and he must be good to that young man. Mr. Hou.
Speaking of which, this is the second time Xue Pan meets Jia Qi! Although Jia Chun had been to Jia Mansion several times, the Xue family lived temporarily in Jia Mansion. Xue Pan, a man, was not allowed to run around in the house on weekdays. Even if he invited Jia Baoyu to go out for fun, he could only pass the message through the servant.
In the era of Dakang, the rules in the inner house were much stricter, and the same was true for the Duke of Rongguo. If it weren't for Jia Baoyu, a lawless person who was pampered by Jia's mother, Daiyu and Baochai would not be able to compete with Jia Baochai. Baoyu was joking together.
Xue Pan is a living example. In Jia Mansion, young ladies such as Ying, Tan and Xichun are not seen at all on weekdays.
The first time I met Jia Qi, I was still in Jinling! At that time, Jia Qi became a playboy for a while in order to hide his identity from others. Time flew by and it was already three years since they were separated.
When he saw Jia Qi, although he had no impression and no one introduced him, he was sure of Jia Qi's identity at the first sight. He was a young man dressed in a robe of unicorns and clouds. He walked like a dragon and a tiger at his feet, showing no anger or authority.
Originally, Xue Pan was interested in beautiful people, whether male or female, but he couldn't bear the slightest blasphemy about the person in front of him because of those familiar eyes.
Those eyes seemed to be engraved in his bones. The difference was that the appearance of the person in front of him did not match that of that day. It lacked the gentleness of a scholar and had a touch of coldness, a third of majesty, and more. A bit frightening.
"It's him~~"
Almost at the moment when Jia Qi's identity was confirmed, Xue Pan stood there with his legs swinging. The trace of luck in his heart was instantly broken, and his lips became as heavy as gold, standing there. , couldn't say a word.
At this time, he wished he could give himself two slaps. What the hell did he do today? He actually invited back his former enemy. Now he is still a person who can determine the life or death of their Xue family with just one word.
Seeing Xue Pan's reaction, Jia Qi was a little surprised. Young Master Xue seemed to have guessed his identity. He didn't say anything or look at him. He just walked past him and ignored him. .
Today's trip has some cause and effect.
This was the second time Miaoyu came to see her, saying that she had something to do with the girl from the Xue family and asked her to come here to establish a good relationship with her first.
Seeing that Miaoyu said it carefully, he thought about it again and again, and then he came.
...
