"Miss!

Miss!!

Miss!!! "

Hearing a familiar voice, Baochai opened her eyes. Sure enough, she saw Ying 'er, who had long since redeemed herself to marry someone else, lying on her bed.

The young maid, who looked to be about eight or nine years old, looked at her anxiously and said, "Miss, you're finally awake. Madam was so worried that she almost went crazy.

No matter how many doctors were brought in, it was useless. Master was making a fuss about killing the people who served in the mourning hall. Now that you've woken up, you've saved their whole family, including my mother's life! "As she spoke, her eyes turned red, as if tears were about to fall.

Bao Chai turned her eyes and looked around. The surroundings were exactly the same as she remembered.

Although the furnishings were not conspicuous, those who knew the trade would be flabbergasted upon seeing them. They were not as plain and clean as the snow cave when she went to the Jia mansion, nor were they as lively as when she became someone's concubine later on. Sparse and bright, there was an open-minded and romantic flavor in them.

This was her home, the imperial merchant Xue family's mansion in Jinling.

In this place, she was a legitimate young lady. She no longer had to hide her ignorance and shake her head when she asked questions.

"Water."

Her throat was still burning with pain, but Ying 'er had already brought her warm water with honey, "Young Lady, you should moisten your throat first. After the doctor comes to see you, he will add some medicine and brew some tea for you to drink. You will be better."

The clever young maid outside had already run to Madam Xue to inform her. Soon, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

"My dear child!

If something happens to you, who will I love in the future?

I've worried for nothing! "Before the person came in, the sound of crying reached her ears. Baochai sat up straight. It was her mother!

Her mother had been poisoned by her evil sister-in-law!

Her eyes quickly became wet. The woman in the outer room, who was dressed in navy blue, had just approached the bed when her daughter threw herself into her arms. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

One was shocked and frightened by her beloved daughter's sudden illness. The other was full of bitterness and sorrow. At this moment, she let out all the bitterness in her chest.

The maidservants by her side hurriedly coaxed her, coaxing this and that. After a long time, Madam Xue finally stopped wailing, "My son, Mother knows that you are filial. Just after the seventh day of your father's death, he fell ill while staying at the coffin.

But after all, he's gone. You're a young lady, you should take care of yourself.

Listen to the servants' advice. Don't be so stubborn! "

She thought her daughter had fainted from exhaustion. Baochai had endured a lifetime. After dying in a foreign land, she suddenly returned to the age of eight or nine years..

Bao Chai only knew that she had inexplicably whistled in front of the King of Hell's desk. By the time she realized what had happened, she had already returned to her childhood. Her mind was still in a mess. Therefore, she did not say much but nodded her head in agreement.

When Mrs. Xue saw her nod her head with tears in her eyes, she knew that she was afraid. She pulled her daughter into her arms and gently stroked her back. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's good that you woke up.

Servants!

Quickly go to the streets and bring the eldest uncle back. Quickly, tell him that his younger sister has recovered.

Also, go to Ji An Hall and bring a doctor over to examine the girl! "

Because the family was still in mourning, and the children were still young, Madam Xue had no choice but to take care of all the miscellaneous matters in the courtyard.

From time to time, there would be servants from the side branches that would come to ask for help. Adding on the fact that her daughter had fainted, she could not take care of her son. She had not seen his shadow for a few days. Now that she remembered him, she could only call for people to search the streets.

After roughly an hour, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside. A sturdy young man lifted the curtain and rushed in. He was so scared that the servants outside did not even have a chance to announce themselves.

"Mother!

I heard that my younger sister has recovered? "

The young man was not too tall, but he was quite chubby. He wore a set of gray cotton sleeves, which made him appear short and fat. He was both foolish and stupid, and his appearance was repulsive.

Baochai, however, did not hate him.

No matter what was said, he was an older brother from the same mother. He was muddle-headed and stubborn, but he was sincere in treating his mother and younger sister. It was just that later on, he was subdued by his evil sister-in-law. The family was thrown into chaos, but he did not dare and did not argue with the Xia family.

At this time, Xue Pan was only around eleven years old. She was not as absurd as later on. Although Baochai was furious, he could still calmly salute him: "I've caused elder brother to worry."

"It's fine. If you didn't wake up, I would have gone to smash those doctors' shops. I don't believe that they won't show their true abilities."

As he said this, he picked up a stool and sat down. Madam Xue, who had just scolded the servants, turned around and said to him: "You've grown up now. How could you barge into your younger sister's boudoir as you please?

Is it that hard to stop at the door and wait for someone to report? "

Xue Pan picked her ears and said impatiently: "I know, I know. Aren't I in a hurry to come back and see my younger sister?

By the way, mother, I just met an old man on the street who was selling his daughter. That girl had a small and delicate cinnabar mole between her eyebrows. It's very rare.

I was going to pay for it, but who would have thought that mother and aunts would come running back. I don't know if that girl is still alive.

Buy her for me to use as a concubine! "

"Where did you learn to be so picky?

Nonsense! "

Madam Xue was so angry that her face immediately turned red. She first helped her daughter to lie down and ordered the servants: "Take good care of your daughter. If there's the slightest mistake, don't want your old face for several lifetimes. The whole family will be lifted up and sold to the salt mountain!"

The servant girls, led by Ying 'er, hurriedly knelt down and answered. For a moment, there was a dense mass of people kneeling on the ground.

Madam Xue shouted and then raised her voice: "Go and drag everyone in Pan 'er's courtyard to the main courtyard. Do you think I don't know what kind of vulgar ideas they have while the head of the family is dead?

My son is only eleven years old. What concubine?

If I find out who is behind this, I won't let her off! "

It turned out that men in the world had semen at the age of eleven or twelve. Those who were not particular about it would arrange for a servant girl to teach them how to do things.

However, they were still young and immature. Furthermore, there were those who wanted to "fly up the branches and become phoenixes" who teased them. Because of this, many people's kidneys were damaged. Later on, they couldn't guarantee their survival. Many good doctors on the street would advise them if they encountered them.

Even if they were in a hurry, it wouldn't be too late to arrange for someone to take care of them in a few years. At least they would be able to take care of themselves better than this child, right?

As a result, Madam Xue had never revealed this kind of idea, nor did she tell the wet nurse to tell her son about this. Now that she suddenly heard Xue Pan say this, she knew that someone around him must have done something.

At this time, it was too late to hate herself for being negligent and forgetting to take care of her son. She could only do something to mend the pen after the sheep were lost.

When a son grew up, he should have been taught by his father. However, the head of the family was already lying in the coffin. He would be buried after the ceremony. As a mother, she had no choice but to brace herself. She couldn't carelessly raise a playboy who was greedy and lustful.

First, she ordered the servants to surround the Xue Pan to prevent him from running away. Then, she led the servants all the way to the main courtyard to take care of him. The courtyard in Baochai quickly quieted down.

Not long after, Ying 'er came over and put down the curtain. She ordered the servants to set up a screen. After arranging brush and ink, she stood guard by the bed. Not long after, an old man with white hair and a white beard was slowly led in.

"This is our young lady. A few days ago, she fainted from exhaustion when she was guarding the coffin. For several days, she didn't eat or drink. She's fine now.

Madam said to trouble you to take her pulse again. If there's nothing unpleasant to hear, she'll give you a big red packet! "

The old man made a sound of agreement. His clothes rustled as he sat down outside the bed. "Young lady, just stretch out your hand."

Baochai obeyed and stretched out her wrist, which had shrunk a little and didn't have any frostbite. The warm fingers pressed against her wrist for a few breaths before withdrawing. The old man's voice sounded, "Young lady, you've been overthinking things. There are signs that your liver and gallbladder have been damaged. You've also been frightened and distressed, so you fainted.

However, as long as you wake up, there won't be any major problems. In the future, you just need to use some medicinal food and tea to soothe the liver and regulate Qi. You don't even need to drink decoction. You have to be open-minded about everything. "

When Ying 'er heard this, she happily sent the doctor out. As expected, she wrapped a large red packet and stuffed it into the medicine box that the boys were helping to carry. At the same time, she sent the quick-witted servant girl to report back to Madam Xue. When the servant girl came back, she recounted everything that had happened in the main courtyard.

It was said that the old man's wet nurse and maidservant had been immediately taken away. The manservants who followed him had also been beaten. The old man himself had been forced to kneel in front of the old master's coffin by the servants. Who knew how much trouble was going to happen in the future?

"Mother disciplined Big Brother for his own good. She definitely didn't have any intention of harming him.

You guys shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Don't talk nonsense. If you suffer because of this in the future, there's no use in begging me. "Baochai, who had calmed down after drinking some water, instructed them. He lay back down on the bed and didn't make a sound.

In her previous life, she had suffered enough from being punctual all the time. In this life, no matter what, she wouldn't jump into the same pit again.

The absent-minded girl that Big Brother had described was Xiang Ling, who had stirred up trouble. It was a good thing that she had missed this enmity because she had woken up. She knew that she had no choice, but how many women in this world could hold their lives in the palm of their hands?

Perhaps Xiang Ling could have a few years of peace with that Young Master Feng. It was better than her brother taking someone's life and harming others' lives.

In this way, it was possible to change the future by starting over again. She no longer wished for a meteoric rise. She only wished for her family to be safe and her mother to live out her old age in peace.

The desire for glory and glory in the past had all disappeared. She would just treat it as if she had forgotten to drink Meng Po's Soup when she was passing through the Village Viewing Terrace.

She lay on the bed in a daze and fell asleep again. There was no need to talk about this dark and sweet sleep. Let's talk about Madam Xue in the main courtyard.

Ever since her husband passed away, Madam Xue had been supporting the family business by herself. However, due to her limited experience, she had no choice but to take in some of the caravans that were traveling north and south. She had to wait for her son to grow up before making any plans.

Coincidentally, on the seventh day of the former Master Xue's death, which was also the night that her daughter Baochai suddenly fell into a coma, she suddenly had a dream in the middle of the night. She saw her husband's eyes almost popping out of their sockets, his cheeks waxy yellow, and he angrily said, "Stupid woman!

Stupid woman!

You didn't teach your son well and allowed him to commit crimes. You destroyed several generations of my Xue Clan's foundation. Stupid woman! "

After scolding for a while, tears fell from the eyes of the late Master Xue. "Poor girl, who was like the apple of my eye and pampered like the apple of my eye. Because of you, she didn't have a good ending. I really want to kill you, stupid woman!"

Madam Xue jumped in fright in her dream. She knelt on the ground and covered her face with a handkerchief as she cried bitterly, "Since you went through so much trouble to come here, why are you so angry at me? Tell me the truth. I will definitely do as you say and I won't dare to be negligent again."

The late Master Xue stopped crying and said, "Do more rituals with me to eliminate evil. In the future, the family won't need to gather gold and silver. Repair bridges and roads will be all right.

The other is to find a strict teacher to teach the Pan Geer well. No matter if the teacher beats or scolds you, you are not allowed to interfere. Otherwise, after a hundred years, you won't be able to escape a letter of divorce. Remember this!

Also, if you can't make a decision in the family, you can ask Sister Bao. I'm afraid that in the future, the whole family will rely on her. "

After saying this, a monk with a scabby head and a crippled Taoist priest picked her up and floated towards the horizon.

Madam Xue knelt behind them and called out several times but to no avail. She anxiously sat up on the bed and opened her eyes to see that the moon had not yet set. It turned out that she was having a dream.

She didn't dare to lie down again. She put on her clothes and helped an old woman to burn incense for the Guanyin worshiped in the wing room. She recited some Buddhist scriptures before she calmed down. At this moment, the old woman who was guarding the mourning hall hurriedly came to report that her daughter was not well. It was just as Master Xue scolded her in her dream.

She was scared out of her wits. Originally, she sent her daughter to guard the mourning hall so that Sister Bao could pretend to go through the motions and gain a good reputation of "pure filial piety". Who would have thought that this child was so sad and tired that she fainted?

Madam Xue only had one son and one daughter. If either of them died, it would be like a knife twisting in her heart. She immediately believed Master Xue's words in her dream and didn't dare to have a trace of doubt.

Therefore, now that Xue Pan's matter had been exposed, she no longer dealt with the matters in her son's courtyard as lightly as before. After dealing with a few arrogant servants, she took her son to his father's mourning hall to reflect. It was better than harming the entire family in the future.

Xue Pan was still in a daze.

Normally, even if he went out to argue with others, his mother would send people to teach those who dared to argue with him a lesson. Who would have thought that one day, he would be hit by this plank?

He had just made a scene, rolled on the ground, and howled. His mother's face was scrunched up and her eyebrows raised. The sturdy old woman behind her pounced on him like a tiger and dragged him away. When he realized that his father's coffin and memorial tablet were right in front of him, he didn't dare to howl that he wanted to buy a little girl here. He could only clench his teeth and kneel to the side, pretending that he was here to guard his father's coffin.

Really, a young girl had just fainted during the mourning hall, and now she didn't even let her son go. He didn't know what was wrong with his mother!

"In the future, don't use any more maidservants in your courtyard. Pick some clever boys from your family and some clean and simple old women. When the mourning hall is over, find a strict teacher to teach Pan Geer. We have to change his bad habits.

None of you are allowed to plead for mercy. I think whoever pleads for mercy is in cahoots with those people. Xue family is small and can't worship so many great Buddhas. "

Mrs. Xue had just tidied up her son's courtyard. Inside, there were many maidservants dressed in red and green. She was flustered and short of breath. How old was Pan 'er?

There were not many virgins in this house. If this continued, Xue family's children would be in trouble in the future!

No wonder her husband climbed up and scolded her when he died. If things really got to that point, she didn't want the whole family to die. What good would she get by then?!

"Tell the girls to serve them well. If they need anything, just tell them.

In addition, you go and inquire about the famous temples and monasteries around. I will take you to make some shoes and socks at home and copy some scriptures to give out.

Also, tell the shopkeepers of the shops to report to them if there are any bridges or roads nearby. Give them some money and we can do more good deeds and accumulate some good karma. "

She spoke a whole carriage of words in one breath. When her mouth was dry, she stopped to take a sip of tea and waved her hand to let the servants leave.

Some of the maidservants around her, who were related to the old maidservants, opened their mouths halfway. When they heard Mrs. Xue's words, they hurriedly closed their mouths again and bowed. They didn't dare to make a sound. They followed Mrs. Xue's instructions and went to pass on the message.

A few days later, the news that Xue family did good deeds for the late master spread out.

As expected, Mrs. Xue asked a few old shopkeepers to repair a few old bridges in Jinling City. She also asked the servants to make a lot of monk's shoes and hats.

Even Baochai stood up and led her maidservants to copy out several scrolls of scriptures and large bags of loose silver and copper coins. She sent them to the monks in the surrounding temples as a way of thanking the Gods and Buddhas for giving her a chance to start over.

Baochai stayed in her room for half a month. It wasn't until the Laba festival that she was allowed to step out of her room.

She did not throw a tantrum like an ordinary child. She only wore thick clothes and a plain white satin cloak. She was surrounded by Ying 'er and a few new maidservants as they walked around the courtyard.

Nowadays, women's bodies were still considered slender and graceful. If she became plump and curvy in the future, she would be criticized as "frivolous". Instead of treating herself harshly in the future, it was better to pay attention since she was young. That way, she wouldn't be afraid to eat and drink in the future.

After she woke up and recuperated for a few days, the taste of the vegetables and soup was very light. Instead, she felt that the light and salty taste was more satisfying than the rich and sweet taste. She no longer liked the sweet and greasy things that she used to like.

When the cook saw the trend, he naturally changed his cooking skills. When the family of three ate together, they actually slimmed down. Those who didn't know would say that the Xue Family's widow and children were filial. Not only did they fall ill during the mourning period, but the whole family also suffered so much that they became a size smaller. Even Xue Pan, who was ruthlessly beaten up by his biological mother all day long, became a filial son in the clouds.

After Mrs. Xue received these benefits, she became more strict with her son. She swore that she would change the child's mind during the three years of mourning. In the future, he would at least study a few books and listen to his master whether he wanted to take the exam or not.

She ordered the servants to prepare paper and brush. After pondering for a while, she wrote a letter to her family. She only said that when the boy grew up, he needed a strict and wise master. As a widow, it wasn't good for her to go out and look for him.

Although the Xue family had a reputation, in the end, they were only merchants. She was afraid that a reputable gentleman would not easily be willing to come and sit in the tavern. Without any other choice, she could only ask her maternal elder brother to recommend a gentleman. He would definitely be respectful to her master and so on.
