After Li Wenzhao left, Zhu Jinghong, who was smelly and sweaty, returned to the palace and was about to take a bath under the eunuch's service.
Zhu Jinghong always felt a little awkward being taken care of by these eunuchs who were both male and female, but he could only endure it.
He originally wanted to call Yinglian, but he just thought about it. After all, Yinglian was not in the spotlight for the time being.
On weekdays, it’s just a matter of serving tea and water. If she were really asked to take a bath, people would inevitably not think of that kind of thing.
If word of this spread to the capital, Yinglian would be afraid that her life would be in danger.
After taking a shower and putting on new clothes, Zhu Jinghong learned that the prince was still sleeping, which made him temporarily stop discussing the matter.
Being bored, he thought of Baochai again, and his whole body became restless for a while.
Since this is the world of Red Mansions, it would be unreasonable not to collect a few gold hairpins, Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.
After asking Zhang Lin to inquire before, he had learned that Daiyu was only twelve years old and had been sent to Rongguo Mansion in the capital.
He didn’t even graduate from elementary school at the age of twelve, which really made him unable to do anything.
In this case, if Baochai, which is ranked first among the golden hairpins, is not taken, wouldn’t it be a waste of time in this world.
Of course Zhu Jinghong will not admit that he is actually greedy for other people's bodies.
"The visit last time was a little abrupt. I'm afraid that the girl from the Xue family has a bad feeling towards me. I have to let her know that I helped him today."
If Xue Baochai knew about it, Zhu Jinghong Defining what happened last time as "somewhat abrupt" would probably only make you half angry.
After thinking about it, Zhu Jinghong finally sat down at his desk and wrote the first letter in his life.
After writing, he immediately asked someone to prepare a gift, intending to send the letter as a reward.
"Just flirt, it will take ten years"
Zhu Jinghong laughed, it felt so good to do whatever he wanted.
Of course, the reward to the Xue family is not just to tease Baochai, but actually more to send a signal to let the Xue family know that Zhu Jinghong will support them.
Otherwise, if officials at all levels in Jinling are intimidated and the Xue family retreats and appeals, the game will no longer be played.
There are a lot of treasures in the palace. If you want rewards, just use them directly. In less than half an hour, Deng An had everything ready.
In order to "cover people's eyes and ears", three portions of the reward were prepared, and Zhu Jinghong secretly put the letter into Baochai's portion.
While waiting for the leader to leave the palace with gifts, the entire Xue family is now extremely nervous, just because the official official of Jin Yiwei came to the door today.
The Jinyiwei directly obeyed the emperor's orders and could arrest officials and civilians without going through normal procedures. Naturally, no one could avoid them.
Now that the Xue family is suing the government, they have already gotten into big trouble. Recently, things have not been going well in business, and now they have also attracted Jin Yiwei.
The entire Xue family is in a state of pessimism and peace at the moment. In fear, most people blamed Xue Pan for causing the trouble.
As the head of the family, Xue Pan was originally quite frightened, but after a conversation with Jin Yiweiguan Chai, he realized that he was overthinking.
Not only did Jin Yiwei not come to cause trouble, but he came to rescue his family.
"Then it's settled. The Xue family will send a few people to the Yamen later to go to Zhenjiang Mansion with us."
"Thank you all, thank you very much." "Xue Pan bowed solemnly.
"Then we'll say goodbye"
Seeing several captains about to leave, Xue Pan winked at the steward not far away, who immediately handed over a purse knowingly. .
"Everyone, this is a little tea money. Don't dislike it."
"How embarrassing is this?" The leader of the flag officer stared at the money bag.
Weighing it gently, it was at least forty or fifty taels, which made the little flag official smile with joy.
"Thank you very much"
Everyone was in harmony, and Xue Pan sent Jin Yiwei out of the house in a high-profile manner, so that everyone could see him talking and laughing with Jin Yiwei.
After seeing Jin Yiwei away, Xue Pan immediately returned to the inner house and explained the situation to his mother and sister, hoping that they would not worry.
"Pan'er, you have friends in Jinyiwei"
In yamen like Jinyiwei, few people make friends with them, so Xue Pan shook his head.
"Then why would they help us? Could it be that they have other motives?"
Having been a widow for many years, Aunt Xue is very wary in order to protect her husband and son's family business.
Baochai on the side asked, "Could it be that Magistrate Jia thought of a solution?"
Xue Pan nodded slightly and said, "This magistrate is a good person, and he is a person who knows how to repay kindness." ”
Just when the family felt at ease, there were rapid footsteps coming from outside.
"Madam, my uncle's father-in-law is here, saying that he is here to convey the message of the Thirteenth Master. Please go quickly."
What Xue Pan is most afraid of hearing is "Thirteenth Master" With these three words, "Third Master", he who had been relaxed just now felt his heart tighten, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
He wanted to drink tea to relieve himself, but his trembling hands made the lid of the cup jingle, which directly showed his fear.
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided by Pan'er. Go quickly." Aunt Xue looked sad.
At this moment, the Xue family’s sky seemed to be falling again.
"Yes"
With a tragic heart, Xue Pan stepped out of the room, leaving the mother and daughter alone in tears.
"Baochai, what kind of evil did mother do in her previous life to cause such things to happen to her?" Aunt Xue couldn't help but cry.
In fear, Baochai didn't know how to resolve it, so he could only comfort his mother with gentle words.
Faced with people at the pinnacle of power like Zhu Jinghong, her intelligence is almost useless.
Besides, Xue Pan, who rushed to the front hall, saw Deng An.Ten thousand precautions.
"I wonder what the Thirteenth Master has ordered?" Xue Pan was extremely frightened and bent his waist in front of Deng An.
Deng An looked indifferent and said slowly, "Xue Pan, the Thirteenth Master has an order."
Xue Pan didn't dare to neglect, he knelt on the ground directly, as if he was listening to the instructions. .
"The Thirteenth Master said that when I visited your residence a few days ago, my behavior was a little rude and rude. After I returned, I felt that I was presumptuous."
Did I hear it wrong? The dead eunuch in front of him was talking nonsense. This was really what the Thirteenth Master asked him to say.
But looking at Deng An's serious look, Xue Pan had to admit that it was indeed true.
"So today I have specially prepared a small gift to send to the Supreme Mansion to express my apology."
After saying this, Deng An shouted outside, and a young eunuch carried the three in. A big wooden box.
"Uncle Xue, the one on the left is for you, the one in the middle is for your girls, and the one on the right is for your wife."
Seeing that Xue Pan was still dazed. , Deng An said with slight dissatisfaction, "Uncle Xue, you still haven't thanked me."
"Thank you, Master Thirteen, for your generous gift. Thank you, Master Thirteen, for your generous gift." Xue Pan kowtowed repeatedly. At this moment, he seemed to have saved his life. .
"The Thirteenth Master has ordered that everyone receive their belongings in person, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand"
After replying, Xue Pan quickly ordered the boy to ask Aunt Xue and Baochai to come out.
As the saying goes, Aunt Xue and Baochai rarely come to the front hall, but they dare not disobey Zhu Jinghong's orders.
In fact, Xue Pan was happy to see this happen. It would be best if the whole family knew about the gift he received today, so that not many people would gossip behind his back.
After Aunt Xue, Baochai and the two came out, they knelt down and worshiped in front of Deng An again before receiving the gift.
"The message has been conveyed to me, so I'll say goodbye now." Deng An cupped his hands and started to walk out.
"Eunuch, please go slowly, I will send you out."
This send-off cost another hundred and ten taels of silver, but Xue Pan only felt at ease spending this money.
After she left, Aunt Xue ordered people to carry the box to the inner house.
According to Zhu Jinghong's instructions, the three boxes were each carried back to the three people's residences, and they would be opened and inspected individually.
"Amitabha received a reward from the Thirteenth Master today. The grudges have been understood before, and my mother can finally feel at ease." Aunt Xue clasped her hands together and knelt down to the gods that existed in the dark.
