Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 22 Xue Yi Godson
With a shout of "Wake up", Lao Hei beat Xue Pan's back hard, Xue Pan was shocked, and the spirit orifice had recovered.

And although he had already guessed that his father was deliberately punishing him, he didn't realize it until now.

What he saw and heard here was something he had never touched before.And how much these things touched him, I'm afraid only Xue Pan knows.From then on, Xue Pan never yelled or made noise, and just followed Old Hei obediently to do some work within his ability.

Old Hei also knew in his heart that his boss sent him here for education, so why did he really want him to work?If he was really tired, Xue Yi knew that he would not do anything to this little ancestor who would complain to his father in the future, but Xue Pan was his own after all, so how could he not complain in his heart?Does he, Old Hei, still want to hang out on the Xue family's boat?

So what Lao Hei assigned to Xue Pan was nothing more than some light and delicate work, which Hei Zi was impatient to do, such as cleaning or simple repairs.

When Xue's caravan arrived at Jiangnan Wharf, Xue Yi asked Lao Hei to quietly send them back. Seeing that Xue Panhei had lost weight, he, as a father, felt sorry for him.But seeing that his body and bones are much stronger than before, his eyes are clearer, and his speech is more reliable, I know that sending him to Lao Hei is the right one.

Old Hei only said a few words of courtesy, and then retreated to work.Xue Yi deliberately waved his servants away again, leaving only father and son in the cabin for a while.

"It's been more than a month, how are you doing?"

Xue Pan blushed: "Father, don't make fun of your son. The son already knows he was wrong."

"Hehe, I don't understand what you said, what's wrong with you?"

"Son... My son can't say anything, I just think it was wrong and shouldn't be like that."

"Oh? Then tell me, what should you do for our family?"

Xue Pan thought for a long time, then scratched his head and looked embarrassed: "Everyone praises the second brother for his talent and learning, and the son wants to study hard like the second brother, but he is really not that kind of material. Now the father asked this question, the son But I have no clue at all.”

Xue Yi laughed loudly when he heard this: "Silly boy, I thought you were enlightened, but I didn't expect that you are still such a muscle."

Seeing his father laughing, Xue Pan went down the donkey and said, "If the son doesn't know, then the father must know. Please ask the father to arrange for the son. As long as it is not studying, he can do anything."

"Really do anything?"

Xue Pan assured his father again and again that he would obey his father's arrangement.This made Xue Yi happy, thinking that his son had finally started obeying discipline, and it was only a matter of time before he could train him well in the future.

While Xue Yi was planning how to raise his son, Ting Tao and Wen Hai, the young servants beside Xue Pan, almost had a heart attack from being frightened by their uncle.

This can't be blamed on these two boys, but Xue Pan has become weird since he got back to the main ship, no longer beating and scolding like before, but sitting there quietly by himself for a long time .

Finally, it seemed that he remembered something and wanted to give instructions, but he said: "Ting Tao, how is your family's situation?"

Ting Tao tremblingly returned home and said that his parents only farmed for a living, and his sisters and brothers all worked for the big family, so they could make a decent living.

Their uncle was silent for a while.

Then asked: "Wen Hai, how is your sister's marriage?"

Wen Hai replied: "My sister is married to a butcher and has a better life, but the butcher has a bad temper and is willing to beat and scold her often."

Well, this time their uncle's eyebrows were all wrinkled, his mouth was tightly pursed, and he refused to say a word.

After suffering like this for several days, Ting Tao and Wen Hai couldn't take it any longer, they both knelt down together: "Master, I really don't get used to your current state, are you bewitched or sick? I want to scold you and talk, as long as you are happy, don't hold yourself back."

Xue Pan spat hard after hearing this: "Bah! You're the one who's bewitched, you're the one who's sick! I just have something on my mind that I can't figure out!"

The two boys are even more stupid, what?Something on your mind?

When did their uncle have something in his heart?No matter how unhappy I am, nothing can be solved with a meal of wine or a meal of beating and scolding. How can it be like this time, just stay in the room and don't even say a word, eh...it's creepy.

Xue Pan himself was also depressed. If he was an ordinary child, after his father's careful training, he might have already gained some insight into life.It’s just Xue Pan, the structure of his brain is too simple, he seems to realize something, but he doesn’t seem to understand anything, he only knows that he has made mistakes in the past, but where is the mistake?And why is it wrong?

Hey, with Xue Pan's IQ, asking him to think about some difficult problems is simply killing him.

In the end, he himself was too bored, and scratched his head in despair: "Forget it, after thinking about it for several days, my brain is about to explode, but I can't think of a six! I am too embarrassed to ask my father, so I might as well wait until I get back." Let the second brother analyze it for me, he has read a lot of books, maybe he can enlighten me?"

So Xue Pan, who had been abnormal for a few days, began to return to his old self.

But it would be wrong to say that he completely changed back to his former self.

At least now he won't easily yell or beat and scold his servants, and he knows to put things in his head when he encounters them.

It's just such a small change, which has greatly relieved the people who served him and made his father Xue Yi very satisfied.

Xue Yixin said that this kid seems to have a good nature, so he called Xue Ping, the chief executive of the caravan, to drink tea in his cabin, and discuss what kind of "course" he should arrange for Xue Pan next.

"Come on, try my Pu'er tea. Although it's not the best, it's more than ten years old tea. It's very fragrant~"

Xue Ping has no other hobbies, but he likes to drink tea. Among all the teas, he likes Pu'er the most, and likes the sweetness and glutinousness in the tea soup.

While drinking, while listening to Xue Yi talk about Xue Pan, Xue Ping said with a smile: "Master, it was a good idea to send our uncle to Lao Hei for a few days of experience. I heard that the old man has restrained his temper these days. Isn't it less? This shows that the master's method works. But, after all, the uncle is not a child of a poor family. If he is really going to be a good man, he must be taught by the master."

Xue Yi was startled, and said: "You mean to regard Pan'er as the successor of the caravan? That's impossible, it's impossible!"

Xue Ping laughed again: "Why not?"

Xue Yi sighed: "It's not that you don't know that to choose an heir, you have to choose someone who is talented and intelligent in your life. It's just that Pan'er...Compared to him, I feel that Hong'er is more suitable for the position of the head of the business.

But he never thought that that kid Hong'er has a great talent in reading now.You know, our old Xue's family has not had many scholars since ancient times, and I don't know if he can win the toad palace.

I don't ask for anything else, as long as he can win a juren, I will be satisfied with being an official in the future, but what if he fails the exam?At that time, if I say that I want him to take over the caravan, how can Pan'er, who has been trained as an heir early, be convinced?I have only two sons like this, so don't make trouble between brothers! "

It cannot be blamed that Xue Yi, the biological father, has a skeptical attitude towards Xue Pan. It can only be blamed on Xue Pan. The three merchants combined are not as high as Xue Hong's IQ, so we have to take pains to train him as the heir of the Xue family caravan , is indeed a bit far-fetched.

Xue Ping sighed quietly: "I know what the master means. But in the final analysis, the uncle is also your son. Why don't you teach him some occasional reading? What do you want him to do for a living in the future?"

"This……"

Xue Ping picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of the tea, and said with a smile, "Forgive me for presumptuousness. With the talent of our second son, we have passed the final stage of the childbirth test at the age of eight. I am afraid that the future will be limitless. As an official It's not impossible to be a butcher, so you don't have to worry about it.

The bigger this second master's official position is, the more he can't take care of the caravan. The master only has such two young masters, so he has to pass on his skills to the master.

Taking a step back, even if the second master's official position is not very good, our family can still lead the position of the imperial merchant for a long time. That is the same as the master is now taking care of the caravan, but the uncle and the second master will eventually face division. One day at home, if the old man doesn't teach the old man at all, how can the old man live his life when the two brothers are at the top of the house?If this is the case, then he will just end up like his subordinates in the past, guarding their ancestral property and sitting on the mountain, when will they be big? "

Seeing his sad face, Xue Yi felt startled and jumping in his heart when he recalled Xue Ping's downcast look when he saw him.

This Xue Pingyuan is a distant relative of Xue's family who was born in Wufu, and he went to Mrs. Xue when he lost his family and lost his family property and couldn't survive.When he first arrived at Xue's mansion, it was mid-winter, he was unkempt, wearing a thin jacket with cotton wool exposed, the soles of the cotton shoes on his feet were so worn that the soles were coming off, and some of his black and purple toes were still exposed.

The old master Xue felt pity in his heart, and said that he could not write two characters of Xue in one stroke, so he stayed with him out of kindness and asked him to follow the caravan's errand, which was regarded as a reward for him.

Who would have thought that this kid is a heart-warming, meticulous man, and he has only learned a little bit about the business and skills in just a few years.This actually inspired Mr. Xue to love talents, Tete trained him for a few years, after Mr. Xue left, Xue Ping followed Xue Yi for several years, and then he became a businessman of Xue's family. The position of team chief.

Xue Yi nodded: "Why didn't I think about this. It's just that the two of them are still young, so they didn't think about it for a while."

Xue Ping didn't take it seriously: "Master's words are wrong. But I remember that my father just quarreled with others after drinking, and died under the random fists of that local hooligan. Although he also reported to the police, the perpetrators obeyed the law. But all the young and old in my family pointed out that he lived alone. Once he died suddenly, my mother went with her, but left me, the only son who knew nothing, guarding an empty house. May I ask my father when he died, did he ever think about it? Will he be in such a difficult situation? Let me say a disrespectful word, the old master suffered from the illness before, fortunately he recovered, if he can't afford it like that, will the master regret not teaching him how to take care of the house?"
