Chapter 547 Ding Zijuan is worried

"Girl, don't worry. If a heartless person really gives up on girl, he will regret it for the rest of his life." Ying'er couldn't help but shrugged her nose and said bitterly: "I've been back for seven or eight days. Is it possible? Are you really that busy? You can’t even spare half an hour?”

"Ying'er, don't mess around. My brother also said that Brother Feng hasn't been to the Grand View Garden for so long since he came back. I can see that he is really busy with business." Baochai subconsciously defended the other party: "You don't know about this opening of the sea. It is so important that he just came to the Hanlin Academy to work as a compiler, and because he is favored by the emperor and the ministers, he naturally has to do his best to do this kind of thing well."

"Humph, the girl is thinking about him wholeheartedly, but now that he is going to Yangzhou, he is probably too happy to miss Shu. Do you really think you can deceive others?"

Ying'er obviously has a clear-cut temperament of love and hate, and is very dissatisfied that Feng Ziying can accompany Lin Daiyu to Yangzhou but refuses to come to Lixiangyuan to meet the girl.

"Ying'er!" Baochai frowned slightly and took a deep breath, "I told you, Sister Lin's father is critically ill. It's only reasonable that Brother Feng went to Jiangnan to see Sister Lin off. Sister Lin and Brother Feng got to know each other. In the midst of a crisis, the relationship forged, it was appropriate for Brother Feng to send Sister Lin off based on emotion and reason."

"The girl is a generous person. Of course it is okay for Uncle Feng to send Miss Lin to Yangzhou, but it has been almost ten days since he came back, but he has never set foot in our Lixiangyuan? Is this also a reasonable thing? Can it be justified by emotion and reason? "Ying'er refused to back down. She opened her eyes wide, pursed her lips and placed her hands on her waist, humming: "If he comes, I will ask him why he did this?"

Ying'er's words made Xue Baochai couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart. Even if you are busy and can't spare the time, you can always ask Xiang Ling to bring you a message, right?

 But why are there no words at all?

Could it be that after this trip to Yangzhou, he really recognized Sister Lin and forgot about himself?

Recalling Feng Ziying’s solemn promise in her room before leaving, Baochai felt that it was impossible.

 Feng Ziying is not the kind of person who takes his word lightly, nor is he the kind of person who cannot withstand temptations.

Of course Baochai knew who Daiyu's father was. They were in Jinling, which was in the same district as Yangzhou in Nanzhili. Jinling Mansion was also under the control of Si, the salt transport envoy from Huaidu and Huaidu, but the salt transport envoy Si Yamen didn't care about other matters. Just business.

But Brother Feng had known Daiyu’s father’s identity for a long time. If he was really like that, why would he come here to make a promise to himself?

But…

 All kinds of tangled and conflicting moods made Baochai feel a little exhausted mentally and physically, but she couldn't show any appearance in front of her mother and maids, especially in front of her mother.

She is already sixteen years old. According to the rules of this era, sixteen is the most suitable age to get married. But now there is no marriage contract. Of course, the Xue family's daughter cannot be ignored. She is just a visitor, but Baochai He didn't even bother to ask and refused, which made my mother very troubled.

Holding the embroidery cloth, Baochai stood up. Before he could speak, he heard noises from the outer courtyard, Xue Pan's rough voice and the greetings of the maids and servants. It was his brother who was back.

 “Sister, sister!”

Hearing his brother's cry, Baochai couldn't help but sigh.

Although my brother has improved a lot now, having such a Daguan Tower can be regarded as a trap for his brother. Going to the Daguan Tower every day to take a look and sit is also regarded as taking care of his own business, and the booming business of the Daguan Tower has also made Xue The family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With such a large investment, if there is a real loss, it will be a serious injury.

Fortunately, it lived up to expectations, and the business of the Daguan Tower even surpassed the Mingyue Tower that Prince Zhongshun had spent so much effort to build. This made the Xue family, Liu Xianglian, and even Wei Ruolan and Han Qi a little nervous, fearing that Zhongshun The king came to Daguan Tower looking for trouble.

It's just that although this brother has such a career, he still behaves in the same way, he is still as straightforward and rude. He and his aunt Jia Baoyu are still at odds with each other. When they get together, they will start disputes, and they also enjoy banquets outside. , and even had a lot of contacts with the father and son Jia Zhenjia Rong of Ningguo Mansion, which also made Baochai and Aunt Xue quite worried.

Especially during the three months when Feng Ziying went south, Xue Pan, who had no bridle, let himself go even more, and sometimes even stayed up at night.

 “Brother is back? Ah!”

At a glance, he saw the young man walking side by side with his brother. His tall body and warm smile, coupled with his clear eyes that penetrated people's hearts, made Baochai couldn't help but let out a sigh and dropped the embroidered stretcher in his hand. On the ground, he jumped up and down and went straight to that person.

At that moment, Feng Ziying saw the shadow of tears in Baochai's beautiful eyes. Baochai immediately turned her head to one side, "Ah, Brother Feng is here, why are you blinded by the wind and sand?"

While holding a sweat towel and casually wiping the corners of his eyes, pretending to be calm, Baochai tried to calm down his heart, but the flush on his face lingered.

 Feng Ziying was also a little moved and guilty.

It’s just that he was helpless. Before he got a more reliable explanation, he was indeed a little embarrassed to see Baochai.

The daughter of the Shen family was given a title when she married into the eldest house. Although Daiyu did not have a real title when she married into the main house, she also had the false title of Shenwu General. She will definitely inherit it in the future. But if Baochai wants to marry herself, she must It would be better to give it a corresponding title.

It's not impossible to get married once in a second house, but this kind of comparison between the two will always make people feel a little unbalanced. Feng Ziying doesn't want to alienate everyone because of such factors, and Baochai and Daiyu have a good relationship, but Because it would be bad if things got discordant.

Feng Ziying bent down to pick up the embroidered quilt that fell in front of her. She took a look at it and saw a pair of extremely beautiful mandarin ducks. She took another look at Baochai on the side and blushed like a baby. Looking through the apple, he looked at it with resentful eyes, and then he suddenly realized that he took two steps forward and handed it to Baochai, "Sister, please pick it up, don't drop it casually."

"It doesn't matter if it's left behind. It's just an embroidered quilt. There are still people who can pick it up. If other things are left behind and no one picks them up, then we've let people down." I don't want to say anything, but thinking about myself in the past few days Even the good-natured Baochai couldn't help but joke bitterly due to the torture he suffered.

Feng Ziying couldn't hear the resentment in the words of the beauty in front of her, but this in itself meant that she had done a bad job, so she could only nod her head shyly: "My sister is right, but if you miss such a treasure, it will be a waste." You are blind with your eyes open, but my brother has a sharp ear and eyesight, so he would never behave like this."

Fangxin immediately let go of most of her words. Baochai wanted to say more, but was interrupted by the impatient Xue Pan next to him: "Ziying, sister, you two are talking in mute words that I can't understand. Forget it, you The two of you can talk among yourself, I'm going back to my own courtyard."

Faced with such rude behavior of her brother, Baochai was so ashamed that her cheeks turned red. She didn't dare to look at Feng Ziying anymore. She just complained: "Brother does this again, don't blame me for telling my mother..."

Xue Pan glared at his sister, confused. He was clearly doing it for her own good, allowing her to be alone with Feng Ziying and talk to her intimately. Why did he provoke her and tell her mother?

Not understanding what was going on here, Xue Pan let out a deep breath, shook his head in the end, and walked away.

After the disgraceful guy left, Feng Ziying smiled and shook her head. Her gentle eyes looked at Baochai, who had her head lowered, holding a sweat towel in one hand and an embroidered bandana in the other: "What, sister?" Why don’t you please sit down for me, brother?”

“Huh?” Baochai was a little flustered.

Logically speaking, it is absolutely inappropriate for such young men and women to be alone together, but my **** brother actually left like this, leaving only Brother Feng and himself.

 It would be impolite to not invite, and I would be reluctant to do so.

Since that day when our relationship was settled, Baochai has been thinking about it day and night. After three months of separation, she couldn't wait to see each other today. If they were to separate without even saying a few words, Baochai would be reluctant in her heart.

She also wanted to talk to him and ask him about his trip to Jiangnan, as well as his inner worries and doubts. But there were only two of us. If others knew about it, there would be a lot of gossip...

"Uncle Feng, girl, don't stand here. It's windy outside. Sit inside." Seeing her girl's coy and hesitant look, Ying'er didn't know her girl's dilemma, so she simply made her own decision. "Don't you, girl, have something else to ask Uncle Feng? Isn't that right? My maid will go and pour a cup of maple dew tea for Uncle Feng."

Seeing Ying'er disappearing in a hurry, Baochai could only shyly invite Feng Ziying into the room. Feng Ziying was not polite and carried her into the room.

Feng Ziying has been here twice and is no stranger to this place. However, this time Baochai is more nervous than before. Since Feng Ziying came here specifically, she must have something important to explain to herself. Although it can be seen from the other party's attitude that She could see that it might not be a situation that she couldn't accept, but it still made her uneasy until the matter came to fruition.

“Sister, sit down. I came here today because I have something to tell my sister.” After Feng Ziying sat down on the embroidered pier, she motioned for Baochai to sit down as well, across a round marble table with embroidered cloud patterns.

Baochai's heart trembled, and her face became paler. She just sat down quietly without saying a word. Until Ying'er brought the tea, she refused to leave. From this look, she probably wanted to hear what she had to say, or maybe He said he was going to argue with himself.

On the other hand, Baochai took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions: "Ying'er, go out, Brother Feng wants to talk to me alone."

"Girl, I don't want to go out. I have to guard the girl here. The girl is kind-hearted and must not be coaxed by others with just a few words." Ying'er bit her lips angrily and said.
