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

Jia Lian was busy asking for help and really didn't want to deal with this fool Xue Pan.

But he couldn't deny Xue Pan any face. After all, Sister Feng is related to Xue Pan, and the Jia family also used the Xue family when they built the Grand View Garden.

Jia Lian offered Xue Pan a glass of wine and was about to leave after finishing the drink. He was stopped by Xue Pan again.

"Brother, why don't you ask me where to make a fortune?"

Xue Pan said mysteriously. Although he is stupid, he looks down on the Jia family. Originally, he might have been afraid of his uncle Jia Zheng. But after so many years, Jia Zheng never took care of him. He knew that Jia Zheng was also a silver-colored wax gun.

He had never been short of money, so when he saw the Jia family selling their butts to him for a small amount of money, he despised his family in his heart.

This time he made it so obvious that Jia Lian didn't care. How could he not be curious?

Jia Lian knew that Xue Pan was a fool who gave away money. In his opinion, the Xue family's belongings will be sent to the Jia family by Xue Baochai sooner or later. In his heart, he didn't take the Xue family seriously.

Jia Lian had a problem in his heart. Although his father Jia She had a son born from a concubine, Jia Cong had no ability to argue with him.

Although Jia Zheng had two sons, Jia Huan did not count. Jia Lan is a younger generation and has no biological father. At best, Jia Qiang is to Jia Zhen. Therefore, Jia Lan does not count.

The only person who has a conflict of interest with him is Jia Baoyu. But this man doesn't understand economics. Jia Mu dotes on him again, and maybe she will rely on him for survival in the future.

Jia Lian never felt that he was living off his uncle, he was living for the future of Rongguo Mansion.

He didn't care about Sister Feng's pressure on him. Because he is a long-term lover, he is not willing to throw away a bunch of hair from "many girls", let alone his childhood sweetheart Sister Feng.

Although he often talks about his wife's death, he really doesn't think so.

He is just a child who lacks love. Kindhearted and unambitious.

His view on money is that if he has some private money and can visit a brothel, he is satisfied.

Therefore, I am not sensitive at all to what Xue Pan said.

In terms of sensitivity to money, he is really not as good as Xue Pan and Xue Dashou.

But the people around Xue Pan were like flies who could smell a trace of blood, and someone immediately started asking questions.

Jia Lian couldn't leave, so he stopped here to listen to Xue Pan's bragging.

Xue Pan started talking.

"You all know that my father does business with foreigners. Although their family is not as big and rich as our country, they still have some strange things."

"Second brother, your watch is the one with the ringing needle. It was made by a foreigner."

"Nearly everyone has this thing in the south, but here in the north, it's still a rarity."

"When I came to the capital, well, everyone was a rich poor man and had never seen any rare things. The prince would treat any sweat towel from Qianxiang Kingdom as a good thing, hehe... …”

"Ahem! This time I am showing the prince a bright way to make money."

Xue Pan's nonsense here is just taking advantage of his Xue family's power.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying about Laozi's heroic son Gou Xiong. If you look at Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin, you will know that the Xue family once had two immortal talents.

One is the father of Xue Pan and Xue Baochai, who is in charge of Jinling. One is the father of Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin, who travels all over the world.

They were secretly the cronies of Emperor Taizong.

One holds the emperor's money bag, manages the world's granary, and regulates money and grain in the south of the Yangtze River. One borrowed money to do business and traveled around different provinces, supervising all civil and military officials.

The Xue family has been the emperor's confidants since they conquered the world. It seems that it is just an ordinary Ziwei family, the last of the four families, but in fact, Jian is in the heart of the emperor, but she is in charge of the world's money and food.

The most important thing for a company is its financial power. The Xue family has been managing money for generations, which makes people think too much. What they were in charge of was the emperor's secret money and food.

Everyone said that Lin Ruhai was the first male protagonist to die in the struggle for imperial power. Little did he know that Father Xue was the first victim.

When he died, Xue Pan stayed at home to observe mourning for three years and did not escape. Because of Feng Yuan, a lonely man without a father or mother, he was driven out of Jinling, the territory of the Xue family.

The ones who took over were the Zhen family and Zhen Baoyu family. It is also a confidant of the emperor and a relative of the four major families.

This shows that the emperor is very good at using relatives. His left hand and right hand are all in his own hands. The long-established family that was united was slowly being uprooted.

Xue Pan has no ability at all, but he can still eat the job of the emperor's merchants, get the false name of the Ministry of Revenue, and use the emperor's internal funds to do business. Is this the emperor who is stupid and loves to support idle people?

To the new emperor, the Xue family was useless. He couldn't trust his family, and he couldn't see him fall into the arms of others. This person is neither good nor bad, allowing the Xue family to be embarrassed in the Jia family.

What Xue Pan said at this time was that he had hooked up with King Beijing and was seeking death.

He didn't know it himself, so he proudly boasted to Jia Lian and others. I don't know that as soon as he acted, the emperor became suspicious of the four families and started to attack them.

Jia Lian didn't take it seriously and forgot about it after hearing it. When he knew that Sister You San was waiting for him at home, he knew that it was Sister Feng who was causing trouble.

Fortunately, this matter is not urgent.

To put it simply, Jia She acted as the middleman and spent three thousand taels to buy Sun Shaozu a command post from Ping'an Prefecture Jiedushi.

Sun Shaozu's own family also inherited this official position, but when he came to him, he only had a name but no real power. That's why I went to Jia She, whom I had known for generations.

Ping'an Prefecture Jiedu has real power here. It is located on the border, has few soldiers and no generals, and is waiting for people to come. The emperor didn't send anyone to him because he was afraid that he would rebel if he had too much power. This was a way to restrain the generals.

Little did he know that with the current bad economic situation and corrupt officials, it would be difficult for the Ping An Prefecture Jiedushi to maintain local security.

Jiedushi was hoping that Sun Shaozu would spend money to save his life, but Beihu called and he ran out of time. Sun Shaozu was not a fool. There was going to be a war here, so how could he come? I just want to get the money I spent back as if things were not done.

The two thousand that Jia She left for himself had already been spent, and the three thousand that he gave to Jiedushi would not come back. If Sun Shaozu didn't go, he still wanted the money. This was the dilemma they faced.

Jia Lian begged Third Sister You just because Third Sister You had these.

Third Sister You has someone in her hands.

Liu Xianglian was waiting.

First of all, he has great martial arts skills and is a member of a noble family. Secondly, both of his parents died, so he struggled to survive alone. The third is that he joined Sanjie You's organization.

Third Sister You is rich and powerful. She thought that Liu Xianglian was a good person, had good martial arts skills, and could sing. Wasn't this a proper talent from the army's propaganda department? Such a person is worth her investment.

Now she can arrange for Liu Xianglian to enter Ping'an Prefecture as a commander without spending any money. It's just a matter of giving Sun Shaozu a new official elsewhere. So she can solve the problem.

For people like Liu Xianglian, she still has a lot on her hands.

They are all young people who have no way to serve their country and are blocked by opportunities.

So when Jia Lian begged her, she hesitated and agreed.

"I do this for the sake of my sister and my nephew."

Yes, Second Sister You is indeed pregnant. When Jia Lian came, the doctor had just checked and it had been two months.

Third Sister You drank the wine offered by Jia Lian and pointed at Jia Lian.

"You, just take good care of my sister and the children. Since you all have children, you must live a good life. Don't blame Sister Feng for looking down on you. Her family is full of powerful people, and my brother-in-law is nothing in comparison. If you are ambitious, you will be satisfied with just one-third of an acre at home."

"My sister is willing to endure hardships with you, but you must also think about your children. Is it possible that my nephew will still live with his uncle when he grows up?"
