Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 80
After sending away the hearty and brave villagers of Shangwu Village, the smile on Xue Hong's face faded, and when Xue Yi returned home, Xue Hong asked, "How does father plan to write Qingkou County's booklet?"

Xue Yi sighed: "You also feel that Qingkou County Prime Minister has committed a crime? I know you will ask this question sooner or later, let your brother tell you what you have found in the past few days."

Xue Hong was a little surprised by the helplessness on his father's face in capital letters, but after thinking about it, most of the official positions of district and county magistrates were obtained by donating officials. It would not be surprising if Qian Yiping had a background.

Xue Pan looked at his father with a grimace on his face, but it was his father's order, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "This Qian Yiping, although his official position is not big, his background is not small. You know that Mr. Luo The sixth is a relative of the Jiangnan Zhen family, but they don't know that Qian Yiping is the cousin of the eighth elder brother?"

"what?"

Xue Hong was so frightened that she almost fell off her chair, Lao Ba's cousin?What the hell?

Lao Bayinyu's biological mother, Concubine Liang, was born in Xinzheku. Her natal family was an ordinary commoner. After she entered the palace, her younger sister married a local landlord as a concubine. After a few years, she became his wife. When he died, the concubine helped him upright, and Qian Yiping was the child left by the dead wife, and he was Yinhu's cousin in name.

Xue Pan said: "When we found many illegal places in Qingkou County, we knew that this county magistrate was not a good person. At this moment, a yamen servant here quietly told us about Qian Yiping's background. Afraid that we would offend the people of the Eighth Master, it seems that we purposely let us know who is behind him, it is really very arrogant!"

"yes……"

If this is the case, then this matter will be difficult to handle.

"Then what are you going to do, father?"

Xue Yi sat at the top, gently pressing his fingers on the table, and the two brothers Xue Pan watched his finger tap once, twice, three times...

After a long time, Xue Yi coughed and sighed: "Hey... I have to take that Luo Laoliu for surgery."

That Qian Yiping's background is too big to be moved by Xue's family. What Xue Yi means is that for Qian Yiping's faults, those who can be whitewashed should be whitewashed, and those who can't be whitewashed should be pushed to Luo Lao Liu. It can't be too clean, or it will look too fake, and he has to be punished for a crime of incompetent jurisdiction on this basis.

Speaking of such a small crime, it is harmless to Qian Yiping, and Ba Ye can calm down the negative impact of this incident on Qian Yiping with just a few fingers.

Facing this kind of treatment, Xue Pan and Xue Hong looked at each other with wry smiles. The reality is that they are unwilling to accept it—the Xue family really can't compete with the rich and powerful.

The Xue family, father and son, were silent for a long time. They knew that no matter what, as long as Qian Yiping was still in office, the people in Qingkou County would not be able to live a peaceful life.The only thing they can do now is to hope that the next Qingkou County Prime Minister will be a good official. As for the others, they are really powerless.

Seeing his father drawing up the booklet, and picking some good prey brought by Shangwu villagers and sending them to Qian Yiping, Xue Hong was extremely disappointed, but he didn't dare to reveal too much.

The affairs of the county government were almost settled, and even Xue Yi had nothing to do, so he stayed there for two days. The work of the advance officer has come to an end, and it is time to continue going south.

The two brothers Xue Pan felt indescribably happy knowing that they could leave this oppressive place in Qingkou.

Furthermore, Xue Baoqin wrote in the family letter to Baochai that the Xue family's second wife had arrived in Jinling, Xue Baochai was already overjoyed.

For so many years, Xue Baochai has only met her younger sister Baoqin once, and that was when the second master lived in the capital for half a month in the old days when he passed by the capital.

But for many years, the two sisters have often corresponded with each other. Although they have not met each other, their friendship is very deep.At that time, Baochai was the only daughter in the family, and she shared all her concerns with Baoqin, and whenever she got something novel, she would ask others to give it to Baoqin. It's just a joke.

Baochai was naturally delighted at the thought of meeting her younger sister soon, and she, who was always dignified and decent, couldn't sit still on the boat back south, and rummaged through the gifts she had prepared to give to everyone in the family. Confirmed over and over again.

The boat sailed for another half a month, and finally arrived at Jinling Wharf.

As soon as the boat approached, the servants of Xue's family disembarked to investigate, and soon reported: "The third master has sent someone to wait here on the shore, and the sedan chairs are ready-made, only the gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen are invited to disembark. "

Xue Yi nodded after hearing this: "The severe cold weather makes them work hard."

While talking, he asked someone to reward each of the servants on the shore with silver scorpions, and all the members of the Xue family went to the Xue family's ancestral house, which is now the home of the third master Xue Ying.

When I arrived at the mansion, at the gate, the second master Xue Sheng brought his son Xue Bian, and the third master Xue Ying brought his son Xue Qiu to welcome here. Mrs. Ding, the wife, brought Baoqin, and Mrs. Qu, Mrs. Xue, the third wife, brought Baoqi and Baoqiong to welcome here.

After seeing the ceremony, everyone rejoiced, a banquet was held for male and female guests in the three-bedroom mansion, and the most famous theater troupe from the south of the Yangtze River came to the house to perform, and the singing, reciting, and proofing were superb, and the Xue family was very lively.

Because they had gotten to know each other well during the banquet, Xue Pan chatted and laughed with Xue Qiu after the banquet, but Xue Hong was dragged by Xue Biao to talk about Qingkou County.

This is the first time for Xue Hong to see the very talented uncle and younger brother in the original book who defected to Xue Wang's family in difficult circumstances.

Although Xue Biao's conversation is not very elegant, it is interesting and tight.This is thanks to his playful father, who said he took his children and family members to inspect the store, but the Xue family is a large-scale family business, and each store has its own independent and orderly operation method , even the shopkeepers are all old servants of the Xue family, all of them are reliable, so why should the second master worry so much?

He was just using an excuse to play around.

This has made his two sons and daughters perfect. Xue Biao is full of mountains and rivers, and his talent is floating in life, and that Baoqin is also full of witty words, which is incomparable with the little daughter who was suffocated in the house in the boudoir.

Xue Hong was originally a man of two generations, and he didn't feel surprised or difficult to talk to Xue Biao, but it made Xue Biao look at this knowledgeable cousin with admiration.

It turns out that he was a little dissatisfied with those scholars, especially those like Xue Hong who went to the study every day to take the imperial examination.
