In Jinling, ten thousand Xue Pan do not want to enter the capital.
He is so happy at home.
Do whatever you want.
But I went to Beijing...
Although the powerful uncle went to the south, there are still the second uncle and the uncle who lives in the Duke's mansion there.
With them here, it would be impossible for him to be so carefree at home.
But his mother used to have everything up to her, but now she is very insistent on going to Beijing.
Xue Pan had no choice but to pretend to be sick, hoping that his mother would change her mind.
Anyway, his mother is most afraid of him getting sick.
Since his father passed away, he has gained experience in this area.
Xue Pan was ready for her mother to compromise again, but she didn't expect that the family's luggage was still being packed one by one under the command of her sister.
"Mom, haven't you noticed yet? Every time my brother gets sick, the timing is just right."
Her mother is confused when she is concerned.
Xue Baochai saw clearly, "As long as you make up your mind, when you want your brother to be happy, he will get sick."
Aunt Xue: "..."
How could she not know?
She doesn’t want to educate her son to cultivate his moral integrity, manage his family, govern the country and bring peace to the world, and bring glory to his ancestors and add prestige?
The problem is that she lost her father when she was young, and she is also a "lonely child." What if the control of the child is ruined by strict control, what will she do?
The Xue family has a great business, and if the child is like this... forget it!
Aunt Xue has calmed down her mentality through many compromises.
"Since you know, why do you want to go against him? Can't you let mom persuade you slowly?"
"..."
Xue Baochai was angry and confused when he heard mom say this again. Feeling distressed.
"If you could have persuaded me, my brother would not have become what he is now."
Xue Baochai could only be patient again and analyzed with her mother, "Didn't we agree on it last time? If you come to Beijing as soon as possible, your brother will be able to enter the Jia family's family school early, and then you and your father will have a husband to take care of him."
Aunt Xue: "..."
"Auntie is also looking forward to us coming to Beijing."
Xue Baochai said again: "She can't get out of the small Buddhist hall, uncles and aunts It’s not easy to go to Jia’s house again, and Sister Feng is the daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law. It’s not easy for her to take care of the affairs of the second daughter-in-law. If you don’t go to Beijing, do you want her to spend the New Year in the Buddhist hall? "
This?
Aunt Xue was stunned.
The Jia family is now enjoying great momentum.
Sister, I really can’t waste time in the Buddhist hall.
"Mom, we really can't wait any longer."
Xue Baochai said: "You are worried about your brother's illness, then we will ask a doctor to follow you."
In Jinling , her future is almost predictable.
But it's different when you get to the capital.
Xue Baochai's heart has already flown to the capital.
"Then...let's do it!"
Looking at the snow cave-like house that her daughter had packed, Aunt Xue finally gave in.
She is used to compromising in front of her son and daughter.
She wanted to give to her son and daughter everything she had not received herself.
So, Xue Pan, who still had a runny nose, was carried to the carriage by the servants on the second day of the trip.
He was simply stunned.
"Mom, can't we celebrate the New Year?"
Xue Pan jumped out of the carriage and danced with his mother full of energy.
"No, your uncle and aunt are looking forward to us."
Thinking that her brother and sister had written letters, Aunt Xue persisted, "Good boy, you have never been to Beijing when you are so old, I don't know Beijing is so lively during the Chinese New Year. There are people from all over the country, and there are a lot of weird things. "
"That's right, brother, buy me something fun when the time comes."
Xue Baochai begged her brother, "Mom also said that there are a lot of tricks there. Go and see it, come back and tell me.”
Xue Pan: “…”
He looked at his mother, then at his sister, and the balance in his heart finally shifted to the capital, "Okay!"
Nothing can be done if it doesn't work. The bodyguard, luggage, carriage, everything is ready. .
“Mom!”
He squeezed into the carriage of his mother and sister, “Tell me about the fun things in Beijing!”
While his brother was grinding against his mother, Xue Baochai hurriedly waved his hand towards the housekeeper, signaling for the team to set off.
No one knows what their family has avoided because of Xue Pan's 'illness' and because the Xue family came to Beijing early.
……
In the capital, snowflakes are falling again.
After several days of searching, there was no clue about the surname Liu. Now King Jin could only pray that the guy would be smarter and not be found by him, nor by the Shuntian Prefecture surnamed Dong. .
"Your Majesty, Mr. Lu from Gangshuntian Mansion is here to arrest him."
What?
Prince Jin’s eyebrows could kill a fly, "What is he doing here?"
Shuntian Mansion is like a dog-skin plaster, so damn disgusting.
“Didn’t the two servants who served Mr. Liu have gone away from the cold? After reporting it, Mr. Dong said that the capital must be prevented from epidemic every year, so Mr. Lu brought the doctor over and said he wanted to take a look.”
The butler’s head was sweating.
Those two slaves were beaten to death by the prince.
This Shuntian Prefecture wants to investigate...
"What a fucking dog fart!"
The King of Jin was furious, "He can watch it if he wants? When I Jin What kind of place is the palace? Where is your prestige? If you can't support me as the steward of Prince Jin's palace, get out of here as soon as possible."
Come to him for any nonsense.
King Jin kicked him over and said, "Tell the man named Dong that those two people have been thrown into mass graves. If you have the ability, go there and check."
"Your Majesty, calm down your anger! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The housekeeper was kicked all over the place, "Old slave has already sent them away like this."
"...Now that they have been sent away, why bother farting?"
Jin Wang paused and cursed again.
"Your Majesty, since it is Mr. Lu who is here to catch the man, they will definitely check the mass graves."
The housekeeper was also helpless, "What if they can't find it..."
"Everything has to be decided by me. What do I want you to do?"
The King of Jin stared at the housekeeper pitifully.
"Old slave..."
The housekeeper wanted to wipe away his sweat, "The old slave has sent people to find patients with colds in the city..."
"Now that you have thought of it, let's do it!"
King Jin roared, "Don't Come and bother me.”
Is it possible that you still want to praise him for such a big deal?
The housekeeper was pissed off.
The weather is getting colder, and more poor people are suffering from cold.
Patients are easy to find, but if someone is killed and carried to a mass grave, if the family wants to report him missing, Shuntian Prefecture will still have to investigate!
What to do?
Use money to clear the way?
The activity money that the palace can provide this year has long been used up.
There is nothing we can do about it.
The only option is to find a way to make the patient die of illness and then steal the body?
Yes, yes, this can save money and trouble.
At least no one will report missing to Shuntian Mansion.
Thinking of this method, the housekeeper finally made up his mind.
......
Ningguo Mansion, Shen Ningyuan.
Seeing Baoyu coming over to eat with Brother Rong, Shen Ning was both speechless and amused.
“Did you tell the old lady?”
“Yes.”
Baoyu has been tired and happy in recent days, "Today the old lady is eating steamed lamb. She said we can't eat anything that has never seen the light of day."
So he came over.
“Mother, I eat very little.”
“Pfft~”
Rong Geer was amused by his serious appearance, “Uncle Bao, I Eat a lot.”
"Yes, he eats a lot."
Shen Ning smiled and pulled Baoyu to sit next to her, "But Baoyu is here today. Brother Rong, please eat less."
Baoyu: "..."
Brother Rong: "..."
The two looked at each other, Baoyu thought for a while and said: "Sir, I just need to eat less at night. ”
"...Okay, okay, I'll eat less."
Brother Rong agreed with a smile. He coaxes the children as well as the grandmother.
Brother Rong has long heard about Uncle Bao’s situation.
If any other guest had dared to say this, he would have kicked them out long ago.
However, this second uncle Bao is really pitiful.
Although his father was a promiscuous man and it was not a big deal when he hit him in the past, he would not be particularly fond of him.
But those two imbecile second uncles and second uncles in Xifu...
Brother Rong was ready to get better at his second uncle’s butt, so he persuaded his father to do it again He was imprisoned in the ancestral hall.
Not that bullying of children.
"Also...you don't have to eat too little."
Baoyu's appetite has increased in the past few days.
He looked at his very kind nephew and said, "I still have some snacks in the house. I'll ask Xi Ren to bring them to you later."
Xi Ren?
Shen Ning glanced at the most virtuous person in the red building.
Mother Jia is a beauty-controller, and the little maids around her are more beautiful than the others.
Compared to Qingwen and others, Xiren is actually a bit ordinary.
But her 'madness'...
Xi Ren felt the eldest lady's gaze and hurriedly lowered his head.
I don’t know why, but she always feels that the eldest lady of Dongfu doesn’t like her.
Therefore, she was very unhappy with Master Bao coming here to practice martial arts.
But if you don’t practice martial arts here, the second master will have to make a living under the master again...
Because of this, Xi Sheng swallowed his words to persuade the second master.
Shen Ning averted his gaze from the girl with a low eyebrow, "It's cold, so eat less snacks, especially at night."
"My nephew knows."
Most of the snacks in his room were taken home by the nanny.
While Baoyu was talking, he watched the maids serve the dishes.
Eight dishes and two soups.
There are quite a lot of them!
Baoyu Miaomiao was relieved that only the three of them were eating.
He has also long heard that in Dongfu, from the eldest uncle to Brother Rong, every meal consists of four dishes and one soup.
Because Brother Zhen was not used to eating, he went to share the meal with Sister-in-law You.
Because of this, Sister Feng was very envious when she talked about it to the old lady last time, and seemed to want to do the same in Xifu.
"Auntie, there are so many, there will definitely be enough for us to eat."
"..."
Shen Ning smiled and touched his little head, "You'll know after a while."
She has seen it from Rong Geer, a half-grown man living in poverty.
Since eating with her, Brother Rong's appetite has increased from one and a half bowls to two bowls, and now to three bowls.
This is just the staple food, there are also vegetables.
The two of them put together eight dishes and two soups. Although the quantity is relatively small, no matter how small it is, when all these are added together, the 'quantity' is quite considerable.
But every time she finished eating, this guy could clean up the battlefield, and sometimes he could even give her vegetable soup.
Because of this, Aunt Li, the cook, gave us more and more dishes.
“Second uncle, don’t be scared.”
Brother Rong smiled.
He doesn’t think there is anything wrong with his appetite.
His grandmother told him that his great-grandfather had a very big appetite.
Uncle Jiao also said that being able to eat is a blessing.
At his age, what he has to worry about is not being able to eat, but being unable to eat.
Even Uncle Jiao himself, at such an old age, can still eat two bowls of rice in one meal.
Those who practice martial arts together in the outer courtyard sometimes compete with each other over who has eaten more today.
"It's time for me to grow up now. When you are as big as me, you will be able to eat a lot."
As he spoke, Brother Rong took the dish that was twice the size of his grandmother's. bowl.
There is a lot of bijing rice in it.
To prevent herself from eating too much, Shen Ning asked for the smallest bowl for dinner.
In this way, even if she eats the second bowl, she will not feel too much burden.
"Be good, let's not look at him and eat by ourselves."
With the maids serving the dishes, Shen Ning won't be in trouble.
What Qingzhu gave Baoyu was a spoon.
In fact, when Shen Ning first came here, Baoyu was still being fed.
But the changes in the past six months have changed a lot.
Although the old lady still loved him, both Jia Zheng and Wang changed their attitudes towards him, so that the child's ability to take care of himself became better.
Qingzhu specially brought smaller dishes to Baoyu, making sure that he could eat them with rice.
As Xiren watched, he still felt incredible.
Over in Xifu, when the old lady was eating, the lady who entered the Buddhist hall stopped talking, but the eldest lady and the two grandmothers were waiting nearby.
But this Dongfu...
Xiren couldn't help but glance at Brother Rong again.
Young lady Qin who will marry next year will be blessed.
Grandma You is not here to serve her, so there is no need for Mrs. Qin to serve her even if she wants to come.
Alas~
It’s a pity that she didn’t enter Dongfu in the first place.
Xiren felt a little regretful in her heart, but soon, she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly.
The eldest wife and Baoyu haven't eaten a few bites, but Brother Rong's bowl of rice has almost reached the bottom.
This is not the key. The most important thing is that he eats and eats food.
Sister Qingzhu couldn't spread the dishes in time, so he took the dishes himself and actually moved half of the dishes at once.
His~
Baoyu was also shocked.
This eldest nephew eats like a storm.
“Eat slowly!”
Shen Ning was disgusted, “No one will compete with you.”
“Hey, grandma, I’m hungry today.”
Brother Rong was so hungry every time it was time for dinner, "Let's have a bowl first to make the bottom of the meal."
After that, he could eat slowly.
Sure enough, during the second bowl, the speed was not so fast, but he mainly ate vegetables.
Xi Ren was standing next to him, watching the plate of braised mutton bottom out quickly.
The eldest wife and Baoyu actually only ate a few chopsticks each.
After finishing the mutton, Brother Rong's chopsticks reached for the ham stewed elbow again.
Hiss~
Xi Ren also ‘hissed’ slightly in his heart.
Her brother could eat a lot at first.
But that’s a waste of money.
Brother Rong...
For a meal, Shen Ning and Baoyu had a delicious combination of meat and vegetables, elegant and natural.
Brother Kerong...
"Second uncle, are you full?"
Brother Rong asked Baoyu with a smile.
"I'm full."
Baoyu ate a small bowl of rice and drank a bowl of soup. Feeling full, "If you're not full, drink all the soup too!"< br>
“Hahaha, that’s what my nephew meant.”
Brother Rong was not polite, picked up the soup that Qingzhu had just filled, and drank it.
“You’ve eaten so much, do you want to take another hawthorn pill?”
Baoyu was a little worried.
He looked at Shen Ning for help, "Auntie, is there a bottomless pit in his stomach?"
"Hahaha~"
Shen Ning laughed, " You go back and ask the old lady if your grandfather also had a bottomless pit in his stomach when he was young."
The children of the Jia family ended up spoiled.
Being able to eat should be the standard for men in the Jia family. (End of this chapter)
