Chapter 374 Distress

Xue Baochai determined to enter the palace to accompany the emperor, hoping to revive the Xue family. But this was just a dream.

Jia Cong knew the outcome in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk too much, and he couldn't bear to tell the truth. Looking at Xue Baochai in front of him, he had outstanding appearance, graceful demeanor, generous manners, gentle words and polite words. She was a stunning beauty who could not fault anything.

But who knew that someone as beautiful as her could be so trapped?

For a moment, Jia Cong couldn't help but feel very emotional. After hearing Xue Baochai's question again, he hurriedly replied: "Sister Bao, I came here to talk to Brother Xue. Is he at home?"

When Xue Baochai asked about Xue Pan, he couldn't help but sighed and said: "Oh... when will my brother be able to sit at home safely for an hour? He ran away early in the morning, saying he was going there.

I went to my son’s house to help, but who knows what he did.”

After hearing this, Jia Cong also sighed and said: "I see. It seems that my trip was in vain. Then we will go back first and come back when Brother Xue is finished."

When Xue Baochai heard that he was busy, he laughed and said, "Why, don't you just refuse to sit for a while while my brother is not here? Even if you don't sit down, you should at least have a cup of tea before going."

While talking and busy, he turned around and told Ying'er to boil water and make tea. Since she was busy here, she invited the two of them to sit in the room.

Seeing Baochai being so hospitable and gentle, how could Jia Cong have the heart to refuse? He was about to agree when he saw Jia Huan had already entered the house impatiently.

Helpless, Jia Cong had no choice but to follow in and asked along the way: "Is aunt at home?"

After hearing this, Baochai replied: "No, she went to accompany her wife."

When Jia Cong heard what she said, he immediately remembered the battle between Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, and almost laughed out loud.

But Baochai was by his side, so he didn't have the nerve to laugh. He coughed, covered his mouth with his hand to cover his smile, and asked again: "Is your wife feeling better? That day, the two of them seemed to be possessed by ghosts.

They seem to be able to fight, and they fight so fiercely, it's really frightening to see."

Baochai was very embarrassed after hearing this, and after a long while he replied: "I'm not telling you, who would have known that such a thing would happen, it's really unimaginable..."

When the two of them entered the house, Baochai invited Jia Cong to sit down again, and hurriedly urged Ying'er to boil the water quickly, and specifically asked: "Ying'er, please put the lotus leaves on the lotus leaves that we collected in previous years."

Boil some dew water..."

Before she finished speaking, Jia Cong had no time to ask, but Jia Huan had already jumped over and said with surprise on his face: "Sister, good sister, what do you mean about the water on the lotus leaf? Can you give me some?"

Baochai laughed after hearing this and said: "Brother Huan, this lotus leaf water was collected from the water drops on the lotus leaves in the morning after the rain in summer when I lived in my hometown a few years ago. There are only a few jars in total. Now

There is only the last jar left, but I can’t give it to you..."

As she was talking here, she saw that Ying'er had already turned around and walked out. Jia Huan was busy and followed him out with a smile. Regardless of whether they were happy or not, he always relied on others to follow him out.

But Jia Cong hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you sister for your kindness, I can have a taste of such precious water..."

After hearing this, Baochai smiled and said, "What's the point? But there are only a few jars of this water, and now there's even less left. It's a pity that I can't give it to you."

After hearing this, Jia Cong hurriedly laughed and said: "I am just a rough man. How can I be as elegant and refined as my sister? No matter what water I drink, it will be the same."

After hearing this, Baochai smiled and said: "What's so elegant and vulgar? How can you get so much attention to it? It's just something to do when you have nothing to do."

The two talked casually. Jia Cong saw that although Baochai was smiling, he couldn't hide the fatigue in his eyes, so he asked: "Sister, why do you look so tired? But you have been so busy these two days."

?”

Baochai was stunned when he heard this. He stayed for a long time and then sighed: "I have nothing to do. I have nothing to do at home all day long. It's just my brother...my brother...he..."

Baochai choked up as she spoke. Unconsciously, the circles under her eyes were red, and her tears were about to fall. But then she realized that she had lost her composure, so she lowered her head and wiped them quietly.

Jia Cong looked at the bright and bright Baochai in front of him. He was just the right age, but his face was sad and exhausted. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He quickly asked: "Sister Bao, what's the matter? But Brother Xue is making mischief again and making my sister worried."

Can’t make it?”

When Baochai heard the question, she felt even more sad. For a moment, she couldn't help it anymore and she lowered her head and started sobbing.

It turns out that Xue Baochai's elder brother, Xue Pan, has been doted on by his mother since he was a child, and he has long been spoiled. It was better when her father was alive, and he was finally a scary person. But since his father passed away, her mother pityed him and lost her.

Dad, not to mention strict discipline, on the contrary, he pampered Xue Pan even more, developing a "me-only" temperament in Xue Pan, and no one else in his eyes.

Every time Xue Baochai looked at him, and before he said a word, Xue Pan would lose his temper and say all kinds of unpleasant things. She complained to her mother and advised her to take more care of her brother, but her mother shouted at Xue Pan instead.

As a younger sister, she is very considerate.

What she often talks about is: If a man does what he does according to the rules, he will not become a waste. On the contrary, it is better to be free and active. Only when he was naughty in childhood can he be successful!

Under the guidance of her old man, Xue Pan became more and more rational and behaved more and more without scruples, causing major and minor misfortunes all day long, but she did not see any great future.

Just two days ago, Xue Pan was drinking with others outside, and got into a fight over an actor and a verbal argument.

Although the opponent had a large number of people, who knew that Xue Pan captured the host and beat him to death, almost no one was beaten to death. Everyone saw that the beating was not decent, so they all dispersed, and in the end only Xue Pan was left.

The big fool was still feeling complacent. Unexpectedly, he had already reported the matter to the government and locked up the yamen.

Later, Aunt Xue begged the Jia family to come forward to get the person out, but the owner was unwilling to agree, so she found a way out and insisted on Xue Pan paying tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Xue Dasha didn't even care about killing someone, let alone hurting someone? He left this mess to his mother. He said he was going to Ningguo Mansion to help with the funeral, but in fact he was accompanying Jia Rong.

, Jia Qiang and others went away to drink and drink.

Aunt Xue was so worried that she couldn't sleep for several nights: tens of thousands of taels of silver! In the past, the Xue family would not have taken it seriously if they came out with tens of thousands of taels, but now it's troublesome for her to get even a few thousand taels!

If she hadn't been short of money, would she have been so shameless as to stay in Jia's house?

Who doesn’t live with a face?

Baochai saw her mother sleepless all night. Firstly, she felt sorry for her mother, and secondly, she was angry with her brother, so she couldn't sleep well for several nights. Besides, she was thinking about entering the palace all day long, not knowing whether it would work or not, which was even more frustrating.

.Now that there are tens of thousands of taels of silver in compensation, where can they get the orphans and widows? Therefore, Baochai has been tortured to the point where she has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and is exhausted and exhausted.

Originally, Baochai was determined not to tell anyone about this, for fear that people would laugh at her family. But firstly, she felt depressed but had nowhere to tell her. Secondly, she deeply recognized Jia Cong.
