The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Upon hearing this, Xue's mother paused slightly and looked at Xue Baochai in confusion.

Xue Baochai helped her mother sit beside the couch, and then said solemnly,

"Mom, after all, our Xue family and Uncle Lin's family have had little contact over the years."

"It is difficult to fully describe such an important matter in a letter."

"In my daughter's opinion, we'd better go to Yangzhou to visit these relatives."

"Please ask Uncle Lin to come forward and speak for us in Xiang Fang's favor."

Xue's mother is not a stupid woman, otherwise she would not have done that after her husband's death.

A woman of modest means has been managing the Xuejiafeng brand, a large commercial ship, for more than ten years.

After a moment's thought, he understood what his daughter meant.

Although my family and the Lin family are relatives, there is no personal relationship between them.

He rashly asked someone to do something for him, and it involved his son's life and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

If it is only in letters, it will easily give the other party the illusion that the Xue family is superior.

At this time when people's hearts are divided, how can a letter alone make them work wholeheartedly?

Many of these things still need to be said in person.

Thinking of these,

Mother Xue nodded slowly, then said with a hint of worry,

"But your brother is still in the hands of the thieves..."

Although Xue Baochai was also worried, she thought about it and shook her head to comfort her mother, saying,

"It only takes two or three days to get from here to Yangzhou by boat."

"The thieves from Qingfeng Village gave us a month. If we can rescue my brother in that time, that little bit of time won't be a big deal."

"But my daughter suggested that we send someone to Yangzhou to present the visiting card to Uncle Lin today."

Mother Xue thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, I know what to do."

"I'll write a letter to your uncle later, asking him to write a letter on behalf of your uncle Lin to help speak for you."

Seeing her mother regain her former shrewdness and wisdom, Xue Baochai smiled and nodded.

"Mother is absolutely right. It should be so."

Xue's mother suddenly looked up and down at Xue Baochai, wondering what she was thinking about.

Xue Baochai asked in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Mother Xue clapped her hands and looked at Xue Baochai and said,

"Please prepare some of the ginseng you brought back from Southeast Asia, as well as other supplements."

"I remember your uncle Lin has a daughter, but she's a little frail. Sending her some supplements is a token of our appreciation."

After saying this, he added,

"By the way, she should be around your age. People of your age should have more topics to talk about."

Xue Baochai smiled and nodded.

"Mom, you're right! Your daughter understands."

……

Sixty miles outside Yangzhou City,

On Datong Mountain, in the gathering hall of Qingfeng Village,

Zhao Dagou personally came with the mission target of his trip and a sack to meet Li Qingfeng and report.

Li Qingfeng had already received the news, and since he had nothing to do in the past two days, he took Xiao Ai to wait in the Juyi Hall.

The mountain stronghold was short of resources, so he just had to arrange them. The saltpeter delivered to the mountain in the past two days had made the old man Sun Yu so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

As for the iron mine, Kang Wuwei has already sent back a letter saying that ten thousand kilograms of pig iron can be shipped back in three to five days.

It seems that it won’t be long before his subordinates will be equipped with weapons that transcend the times in large quantities.

When Qingfeng Li thought about leading his entire team to sweep away the invading imperial army, he felt a sense of satisfaction deep in his bones.

I was feeling ecstatic,

Then Zhao Dagou was seen walking slowly into the hall with a sack on his shoulder and a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old beside him.

The girl had a rouge mole the size of a grain of rice between her eyebrows.

Her face is somewhat similar to that of Lin Daiyu, and she also has a bit of charm.

However, his eyes looked dull and lifeless, lacking some vitality.

Qingfeng Li also shook his head secretly in his heart.

Over the past two days, Xiao Ai has learned in depth about the deeds of the characters related to the Dream of the Red Chamber.
