Naturally, it is not only the Jia family who are interested in Suning's appearance. Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue, who are now staying at the Jia family, are also tempted. After all, the reason they chose to stay at the Jia family is for Jia Baoyu.

Now that an ideal partner who is more suitable than Jia Baoyu suddenly appears, Aunt Xue and her daughter Xue Baochai naturally can't help but be moved. You know, in this world, people go to high places and water flows to low places.

The beautiful and charming Concubine Xue looked at her daughter with excitement and asked, "Baochai, what do you think of the young master Su Ning who is attending the birthday banquet today?"

"He has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and is extraordinarily handsome! And he seems even stronger than Jia Baoyu." At this moment, Xue Baochai couldn't help but recall his figure at the birthday party and commented.

At the birthday banquet, although Xue Baochai and Su Ning only glanced at each other from a distance, the look in Su Ning's eyes when he looked at her was quite strange. It was a look of appreciation that was different from that of men in this world.

As the saying goes, women dress up to please themselves. Just the look from Su Ning was enough to make Xue Baochai confused and fascinated. Naturally, Su Ning's figure was deeply imprinted in her mind.

Then Aunt Xue, a mature and charming woman with a blushing face, suggested, "Mother, how about I find a way to arrange a marriage between you and him?"

At this time, Xue Baochai shook her head with a determined expression and explained, "Impossible! He is the legitimate son of the Feng'en Zhenguo Duke, and the only son of the Su family. How could he possibly be interested in a merchant family like our Xue family?"

"Not necessarily! Our Xue family is one of the four major families in Jinling City, and the glory of our ancestors is not necessarily inferior to that of the Su family." However, Aunt Xue retorted disapprovingly. After all, she herself was born into the Wang family, one of the four major families.

Although such a proposal was also Xue Baochai's greatest wish, she still smiled wryly and shook her head rationally, "Mother, I think we should forget it. The Jia family will not accuse us of being indecisive."

Sure enough, Aunt Xue calmed down a lot after hearing Xue Baochai's reminder. "Hey! That's true! If only there wasn't that Lin Daiyu, then your marriage to Jia Baoyu would be almost done."

"With perseverance, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle! I believe we will have the last laugh."

"That's right! As long as your aunt, Lady Wang, is in the Jia Mansion, Old Lady Jia will never be able to force Lin Daiyu over."

"..."

In fact, Xue Baochai is quite helpless now. Although Jia Baoyu is not valued by the noble families in the capital, he is the best family for the Xue family and the Lin family.

Lin Daiyu was naturally the one that most satisfied the old lady of the Jia family. In this feudal era where marriage was not allowed without close relatives, marriage between close relatives was always the best marriage arrangement.

As for Xue Baochai's main purpose of coming to Beijing this time, it was to participate in the selection. Unfortunately, the current emperor did not care much about women. All his energy was focused on the government affairs of the previous dynasty. He just glanced at Xue Baochai from a distance and then directly put down his sign.

So Xue Baochai, who was in an awkward situation, also set her sights on Jia Baoyu. In addition, her aunt Lady Wang was the original wife of Jia Zheng, the second master of Rongguo Mansion, so the mother and daughter shamelessly stayed in Rongguo Mansion.

In the small west room in the backyard of Rongguo Mansion, Xiren was helping Jia Baoyu wash and change his clothes. She looked at him with a puzzled look and asked, "Second Master, today's birthday banquet must be very lively, right?"

"Yes! It's a pity that you went home and couldn't attend." Thinking that Xiren had taken leave to go home to visit her parents today, Jia Baoyu hurriedly explained to Xiren with a smile.

"So what if I participated? I still have to serve you tea and water." However, Xiren pouted when she thought of her status as just a servant.

Jia Baoyu naturally couldn't empathize with a servant like Xiren. His mind kept thinking about the handsome figure at the birthday banquet, "Hey, today is different! I met a close friend."

"Oh? What new close friends have you made?"

"It's different! I used to dislike boys. I felt that boys were made of mud and only girls were made of water. But after meeting the young master, it's completely different."

At this moment, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Young Master? Which young master is this?"

"The young master of the Su family in the Su Mansion on Qianhai West Street." Jia Baoyu explained to Xiren with a smile on his face.

As expected, Jia Baoyu's explanation astonished Xiren. "Oh my! He's the legitimate son of the first-class Cheng'en Zhenguo Duke. He must be extremely valuable, right?"

"Xiren, I've already made an appointment with the young master to visit Shichahai tomorrow. I can take you with me then. That way, you'll get to know the young master."

"Hehe, forget it! I'd better just stay at home and serve. I've already taken a day off today. If I go boating with you again, Qingwen and the others will really be dissatisfied."

At this moment, Jia Baoyu's eyes were burning as he grabbed Xiren's hand and said, "Xiren, I'll let you sleep with me."

"Bah! Second Master, you are so bad." Xiren felt embarrassed when she thought of those embarrassing things.

"..."

Then, having tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, Jia Baoyu pulled Xiren aside the bed curtain, and then...

……

The next morning, Suning got up feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed. He didn't expect that he had had a dream last night, and the person he dreamed of was Jia Baoyu, whom he had only met once.

When Su Ning thought that the object of his erotic dream was actually a grown man, he felt extremely disgusted. He wondered if he should also find a Xiren to vent his sexual desire.

However, when thinking about the stunning appearance of this version of Jia Baoyu, Suning felt a little like being pawed by a cat in his heart. If he continued to think about it, he might collapse.

In fact, the night in the capital last night was not very peaceful. It was not because of the passionate love between Jia Baoyu and Xiren, nor was it because of Su Ning's absurd dream, but because Jia Zhen, the head master of Ningguo Mansion, was attacked by a gangster. The gangster actually cut off Jia Zhen's vitals and turned Jia Zhen into Eunuch Jia.

"Young Master! Young Master!" At this time, Fu'an, the steward of the Su Mansion, ran towards Su Ning shouting all the way.

"Fu'an, what happened?" Su Ning looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with some displeasure. It was absolutely impossible for the kind of things like the Jia family where servants bullied their masters to happen in the Su family.

Then Fu An breathlessly explained to Su Ning, "Young Master, something happened on the street last night! The Duke and his wife have ordered you to stay at home."

"What? What happened?"

"The eldest master of the Jia family's Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen, was attacked by gangsters last night and had his penis cut off. So the Duke and his wife are worried that you might be in danger."

However, after hearing Fu'an's explanation, Su Ning sneered disapprovingly, "That's it? It's broad daylight, under the emperor's feet. There won't be any danger. Besides, I'm not a playboy like Jia Zhen."

"This..." Fu'an didn't know how to persuade his young master at this time.

At this moment, Su Ning looked at the butler Fu An and said, "Fu An, prepare the horses! I need to go to Shichahai to keep an appointment."

"Young Master..." "Hmm? Fu'an, do you think that I, the young master, can't control you?"

"Ah? I dare not! I will go down and prepare the horse now."

After the butler Fu'an went down to prepare the horses, Suning couldn't help but smile, because he was the one who sent people to do what happened last night.

Although he didn't have any AI robots to use now, there were so many loyal servants in the Duke's Mansion. As long as Suning just made a gesture to them, many servants would come and pledge allegiance to Suning.

When only one little follower was left by his side, Su Ning's cold voice rang out again, "Liu Quan, you don't have to follow me today. Wait until I leave the Duke's Mansion, then you can report to the Duke and his wife."

"Yes! Young Master." The little follower behind him bowed and accepted the order politely.

"Also, last night's work was too rough! Remember to be more careful next time." Then Suning criticized last night's actions again.

"Yes! Young Master, I understand."

……

Soon Fu'an led a horse in front of Suning, then helped Suning sit on the horse with his head lowered and his eyes lowered. He also personally led the servants of the Duke's Mansion to guard Suning.

The life of a yamen official in feudal society was naturally very pleasant. Apart from the fact that this world of the Red Mansion seemed a bit chaotic, and there were troubles and destruction of families and clans one after another, Suning did not feel that there was anything bad about it.

Maybe the incident with Jia Zhen last night was too big a deal, so the pedestrians on the street were indeed affected today. However, there were a lot more yamen runners and city defense soldiers, but most of these yamen runners and soldiers were just putting on an act.

Suning paraded through the streets with his servants on his way to Shichahai. However, the yamen runners and city defense soldiers he met on the way did not dare to approach him. Instead, they knelt on the side of the road and saluted in the direction of Suning. They did not dare to stand up until Suning's figure completely disappeared. This was the feudal social hierarchy formed in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Soon Suning's horse arrived at Shichahai in the capital. To be honest, Shichahai was still very beautiful hundreds of years ago, and it was definitely not comparable to the big water bubble in later generations.

Of course, because there were relatively few entertainment activities in feudal society, Shichahai was filled with flower boats of various sizes, where the children of nobles in the capital came to enjoy the romance and write poetry.

However, due to the major criminal case that occurred last night, not many tourists dared to take the cruise today. They were either the sons of nobles who did not care about the power of the Jia family, or the lechers who were as lustful as Su Ning.

When Suning thought about the fact that she was actually interested in a man, she felt ashamed and disgusted in her heart, but perhaps no man could resist this version of Bao Erye.

……

At this time, the Ningguo and Rongguo mansions of the Jia family were in chaos. After all, Jia Zhen, the eldest master of the Ningguo mansion, was the face of the Jia family. He had his penis cut off by a villain last night. Such an act was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Jia family.

At this moment, Jia Baoyu didn't care about Jia Zhen's affairs. His mind was full of thoughts about his date with Suning. "Xiren, get ready for me quickly. I need to go to Shichahai to keep my appointment."

"Second Master, stop making trouble. Such a big thing has happened at home. You'd better not make the master angry." Xiren, who was standing by, hurriedly tried to dissuade the willful Second Master Bao with a helpless look.

Master Bao sat there angrily, saying, "Hmph! I'm not a doctor, so what's the point of staying in the mansion?"

"..."

Xiren, who was standing by, naturally turned a deaf ear to what Jia Baoyu said. Although Jia Baoyu complained that it was pointless to stay, his body was very honest and did not dare to leave. You know, his father Jia Zheng's horsewhip was no joke.

Although Jia Baoyu stayed at the Jia family's house honestly, his thoughts had already flown to Shichahai. He imagined reciting poems and composing couplets with his close friends and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Shichahai.

Jia Zhen's situation at this time was indeed very critical. In ancient times, when eunuchs were castrated, their "ammunition depot" would be cut off, but a part of their "neck" would still be retained. It was only after the Ming Dynasty that the practice of cutting off both parts together began, so many eunuchs found it difficult to survive this ordeal.

Fortunately, this is the capital of the Eastern Empire, where there are the most eunuchs, so the Jia family invited the chief eunuch from the "Silkworm Room" of the imperial palace, hoping that this eunuch could solve Jia Zhen's current big trouble.

Ningguo Mansion's mistress, Youshi, looked at the old eunuch in front of her with tears in her eyes and asked, "Eunuch Wang, how is our eldest master doing?"

"Oh! It's too cruel! It's really too cruel." At this time, the old eunuch Wang Gonggong couldn't help but feel a chill in his anus when he saw the wound.

"Huh? Eunuch Wang, what does this mean?" At this time, everyone in the Jia family present looked at Eunuch Wang in confusion and asked.

Eunuch Wang then looked tremblingly at the Jia family and explained, "Everyone, when we in the Silkworm Room purify eunuchs, we feed them egg yolks constantly beforehand. This is to prevent them from becoming severely dehydrated and bleeding to death during castration. However, Master Zhen was murdered by a thief who had his roots severed. He has now bled to death and there is no hope of recovery."

"What? How could this happen?"

Finally, the old eunuch Wang Gonggong looked at Madam Jia and apologized, saying, "Madam, our family has done everything we can. We will try to keep Master Zhen alive with ginseng soup and see if he has any unfulfilled wishes."

"Ah..." At this moment, everyone present couldn't help but exclaim in surprise again.

The mistress of Ningguo Mansion, Youshi, could no longer contain her grief and lay on Jia Zhen and cried, "Wow, wow, wow... My poor master! How could you encounter such a thing?"

As Eunuch Wang and the imperial physician beside them shook their heads helplessly, earth-shaking howling sounds were heard in the room. However, Wang Xifeng in the corner covered her nose with a handkerchief with disgust on her face, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Jia Lian's crotch beside her.

Jia Lian was naturally the first to notice Wang Xifeng's gaze, and he couldn't help but look into Wang Xifeng's eyes. Thinking that he also often lingered in those brothels, he couldn't help but feel a chill rushing from his back to his head.

After leaving the noisy Ningguo Mansion, Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng angrily and asked, "Miss, what did you mean by that look in Brother Zhen's room just now?"

"Hmph! It doesn't mean anything! It depends on what you think it means." At this time, Wang Xifeng said in a low voice with a sneer on her face.

Feeling Wang Xifeng's contemptuous gaze, Jia Lian couldn't help but burst into curses. His marriage with Wang Xifeng had always been one in which the woman was stronger and the man was weaker. "You...you are unreasonable! How could you imagine your man suffering like this?"

"Second Master, you've wronged me so much. From the very beginning, I couldn't control your dirty deeds. If you ever end up like Master Zhen, I won't blame you."

"You..." At this moment, Jia Lian thought of Jia Zhen's miserable situation, and he couldn't help but cover his crotch with a cold back.

Although the government office and the Dali Temple in the capital are trying their best to solve the case, everyone knows that this is most likely an unsolved case. At most, they will find a tragic scapegoat to take the blame, and then there will be nothing else. Therefore, Jia Lian, who is not picky about food, could not help but feel scared.
