Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

"Why are you lying about this? This news was found out by Tong Xihua Yinzi! The old lady of the Zhen family, she likes Yinglian for nothing. If Yinglian hadn't made an engagement with you in advance, she would have told Yinglian to Where’s the Kong family?”

Aunt Xue was so angry that her son pressed her head to soothe her.

"Kong family? Can she covet it?"

Xue Pan didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but believe it in his heart.

Since he fought out, he has seen the world. Although the Xue family is wealthy, their status is not as noble as that of the literati.

Even though his family enjoys glory and wealth, he will still be looked down upon by poor scholars.

It turned out that in Jinling, he only killed Feng Yuan and was squeezed out of Jinling by the literati. Just because Feng Yuan was a scholar, some of his classmates and friends were named Kong.

Only then did he realize that even if a person named Kong was a child from a remote area, as long as he could read and knew a few words, he could contact a large number of poor scholars to cause trouble for him.

And the county magistrate and prefect who is the parent official cannot ignore it!

If he had not been protected by his uncle and uncle, he would not even be able to do business.

Xue Pan felt sad in his heart, why are those stinky scholars so talented, even though they have nothing to do with them, they just come to meddle in their own business!

It wasn't until he contacted his aunt's family that he learned that cats have cat paths and mice have rat paths. Literati can form cliques, and their merchants are also "heart to heart."

That's why he doesn't want to marry Yinglian.

Although Zhen Yinglian's father was a scholar, marrying her would only make the scholar stop thinking about him killing people. But if you want to keep your glory and wealth, you still have to get into the circle of businessmen.

In this regard, his aunt Guihua Xia's family is undoubtedly more helpful.

"Mom, don't keep looking at these people. Our family is a businessman's family, and we can never get under the crotch of a sour scholar. Your son, I can't study, so it would be good if he can keep the family. Even if Yinglian is a branch of the Zhen family, But can she be considered a good person after being kidnapped? Don’t forget, it was the old lady who had many troubles that forced me to make the decision!"

Xue Pan looked at the five big and three rough people, and he was a fool, but he also had some brains.

He knew that Feng Yuan had no relatives and no reason, so he could be cruel. But since coming to the capital, do you think he has bullied anyone?

Except for Jin Rong, Xiang Lian, and Yu Ai, no matter how boring he was in the capital, he never touched any good people, right?

When Qin Zhong was so good, he was itching for more than half a year, but didn't he lift a finger?

A lesson learned, their family was forced to move, and the girl who was forced almost lost the election. If it weren't for her aunt's family connections, his sister Baochai wouldn't even be able to enter the palace.

"Don't make the road narrow! Mom! My aunt's family has strict rules and my uncle is not at home. Although they are real relatives, my aunt's family can't harm me! Our family's business is getting worse every year. If we can compete with Xia The families join forces..."

He looked around with a stern look, and when he saw that they were all family members, he leaned into Aunt Xue's ear and whispered:

"The key point is that my cousin from the Xia family is an only child. Well, there are no men in their family."

Aunt Xue's mind moved and she looked her son up and down. She always felt that her son was not bad, but she didn't want her son to have such thoughts.

Her eyes were so bright that Xue Pan was embarrassed to stare at her, and then she praised with tears in her eyes:

"My son has made his mark."

Aunt Xue also knew that her son was saying comforting words to her. Ever since that incident happened, her sister, Mrs. Wang, had been taboo against her.

The second sister-in-law's family are outsiders. Her brother Wang Ziteng is not at home, and the sister-in-law doesn't even call them to visit!

Just because her son has a bad reputation and the second sister-in-law's family is full of girls. The second sister-in-law disliked their family's reputation and did not come to help with such a big matter as Baochai's election.

My mother’s family is unreliable! She felt sad because of this incident several times, and she didn't expect that Xue Pan would become successful and understand her.

"Hey, mom, don't do this."

Xue Pan took out a powder gauze handkerchief embroidered with an osmanthus tree from his arms and wiped Aunt Xue's face.

"Before she left, my sister pulled me and persuaded me again and again. Why can't I make progress? Isn't it because my aunt loves the girls of the Lin family because she cares about their orphans and widowers? If something happens to Uncle Lin, their family will be wiped out, huh! "

Aunt Xue anxiously covered her son's mouth, feeling happy and angry.

"I just said that you have grown in, and you don't have a door to open your mouth."

This is a destructive thing that can only be done, not said!

"Hey, hey, I'll listen to you."

Xue Pan knew that Aunt Xue was smarter than him, but she was soft-hearted. But for the sake of my son, what can't I do? Isn’t it said that being a mother means being strong?

"Ugh!"

Aunt Xue felt soft when she saw her stupid son. She took the handkerchief from Xue Pan and looked at it carefully.

"Did your cousin embroider this? It still looks pretty good."

When Xue Pan saw that his mother had softened her heart, she knew that the matter was done. If Aunt Xue didn't force him to marry Yinglian, he would have both families!

Thinking of the idea Jin Gui's cousin gave him, Xue Pan scratched his head with joy.

"Sister Jin Gui likes osmanthus. Look how rich she is! Look at this place. She said she has been practicing for three years! If mom likes it, I will ask her to embroider a big screen for mom to put in the house..."

"How does this happen? Doesn't this make your cousin an embroiderer?"

Aunt Xue was filled with joy and was convinced by her son's sweet words with just a few words.

She waved away the maid and the mother-in-law, and the two of them plotted in the house.

Originally, they thought that since the Zhen family was in the south, they could make a meal out of raw rice and settle down together first. Now that Zhen Yinglian and her mother-in-law live behind Jia's house, this matter will be smoothed over.

"I spent money to hire Ma Daopo, but it didn't work at all. She originally said it was because she was far away! Now Feng Yinglian is in the capital, so I have to trouble her again."

Aunt Xue drank tea and stared at the enshrined Buddha statue in a daze. For the sake of her son, she had to have some twisted thoughts, hoping that the gods and Buddhas would not blame her.

"Why not? Didn't you say that the Feng family's old lady almost died? That means Zhen Yinglian has a hard life and can conquer people even more! Next time, mom, don't buy the kind that makes people sick, just give her a hard dose!"

Thinking of Feng Yuan, Xue Pan felt that Zhen Yinglian was full of bad luck. If she hadn't pretended to be pitiful to seduce him, he wouldn't have been unable to return home.

How can the capital be as good as Jinling?

"I got it! Mom will take care of it once you tell her."

Aunt Xue touched her son's face and felt comforted. Sure enough, it is better to raise children to provide for old age. No matter how smart or well-behaved my daughter is, she is not as good as a little cotton-padded jacket like her son.

"By the way, the return gift from the Zhen family today is said to be a bottle of century-old wine. I asked Tongxi and Tonggui to prepare a table of delicious food. We and I will be very happy."

"That's a good feeling!"

Xue Pan told Aunt Xue that he was greedy. Seeing that there was no one else in the house, he hurriedly took off his outer clothes and slumped down on the big kang, waiting for Aunt Xue to feed him grapes.

As soon as the wine and food were ready, Xue Pan opened the "treasure collection" of City Master Shi sent by the Zhen family, only to see that the wine was green in color and he smelled the aroma that hit his forehead.

"This wine is good!"

Xue Pan took a sip and felt so drunk that he wanted to go to heaven.
