The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Aunt Xue sent someone to look for him, and Xue Pan went home with them. Although no one insulted him, he couldn't help but shed tears when he saw Aunt Xue, and with red eyes choked up, he said, "son Now it’s a dilemma, and I really don’t know what to do.”

Aunt Xue already knew what had happened from Uncle Xue's family, and it was more difficult than Xue Pan at this time, but seeing Xue Pan's self-blaming appearance, it was not easy to reprimand him, so she just sighed: "The world is hot and cold, and human relationships are cold and warm. You used to rely on your own With the money of your uncle and aunt’s family, you can do everything. Now, your aunt can’t take care of himself, and your second uncle can’t do anything about your aunt’s affairs. Now you should still be the same as before? Be more careful in what you say and do in the future Bar."

"Then what should we do now? It really doesn't work. My son went to reject Second Brother Lian. Thinking about it, Second Brother Lian wouldn't be too angry." Xue Pan bit the bullet to comfort his mother.

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "No, Brother Lian is easy to talk to, but his elder is not easy to get along with." He couldn't die even if he was put into a coffin. For a long time, he couldn't bear to embarrass Xue Pan, and sighed: "In the past few years, the family is no better than when your father is around, and there are still some old people living at home. I asked your uncle to help make it up, and you will get it later. Brother Lian. In the future, I will follow Brother Lian, stay with the Xu family and the Li family brothers, and learn a little bit of their benefits, and I will be satisfied."

Xue Pan bowed his head and nodded heavily.

After Xue Pan's father left, Aunt Xue relied entirely on the power of the Wang and Jia families to keep her family property under the covetousness of the Xue family's eighth household.

Even so, because there is no upright male master to preside over the family, the family is not as good as it was earlier.

Aunt Xue took Xue Pan to the other rooms to talk about items. She thought she would not be able to find anyone, but the sales in each room were worsening day by day. People from the shop came, but within two days, they found 17 big and small shopkeepers, 28 accountants, and 50 big and small clerks.

In Aunt Xue's house, Xue Pan saw several storekeepers who used to follow his father among them, and he couldn't help but said sadly: "I thought our family couldn't find anyone, I don't want to..." The more this is the case, the more uncomfortable it is .

Aunt Xue asked Xue Baochai to help transcribe the roster and was going to ask Xue Pan to give it to Jia Lian. She sat on Furongtan and sighed: "If I didn't really see it, I would never have imagined that there are so many shopkeepers at home who have nothing to do." After repeated sighs, She shed tears, "When your father was here in the past, it was too late to hire talented people. How could anyone be useless?"

"Mom, don't be sad. Wouldn't it be good to take advantage of this opportunity to release those who don't need it? Mom, it's not easy for a widow to hold on, and it's already very impressive to be able to maintain the current situation." Xue Baochai hurriedly comforted Aunt Xue, copying in her hand Looking at the roster, she didn't have Aunt Xue's worries about offending Mrs. Wang. She only felt that their orphans and widows had a hard life, and they could only survive by making friends with more people.So he wrote down the roster, and said specifically: "Yingchun is very uncomfortable being bored at home. Tomorrow, I will send the roster. I will go with my brother, and I will also relieve Yingchun's boredom."

"Hey——" Aunt Xue was full of worries. For a long time, she thought that it was impossible for Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to turn around. Take care of this and don’t care about that.”

Xue Baochai responded with a smile.

Another day later, Xue Baochai wore a gray-green dark pattern satin jacket and a goose-yellow skirt. She was very neatly dressed, and she took Jinying and Jinyan with her. After being instructed by Aunt Xue, she got into the sedan chair. , followed Xue Pan to Jia's old house to deliver the roster.

When I arrived at the street of Jia's old house, I only heard Xue Pan come on horseback and say to wait a little while, Xue Baochai waited patiently in the sedan chair. Xue Baochai thought that Prince Shengdang also came to visit Jia Lian.

After entering the old house, someone replaced Xue's bearer and carried Xue Baochai to meet Yingchun. Xue Pan followed Zhao Tianliang to Jia Lian in Jia Amnesty Court.

Zhao Tianliang wondered why this Xue Pan looked calmer, not as arrogant as before, and said with a smile: "Master Xue, how are you doing these days?"

Xue Pan resentfully said that he was afraid that he would not be able to find anyone these few days, and then he saw a lot of people. He was inexplicably sad and happy, so he just asked Zhao Tianliang: "What is my third uncle doing here? But to visit my aunt?"

"Where is it, I heard that there is a shortage of people in our shop, so I want to recommend some people. The second master thought that since he asked Mr. Xue, if he agreed to Mr. Xue, wouldn't he be sorry to Mr. Xue? So he declined Mr. Zhao." Zhao Tianliang He smiled and said, the wall fell down and everyone pushed, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were powerless to recover. How could Wang Zisheng, who has always been at odds with his relatives, be kind enough to go to their side to give charcoal in the face of hardship.

Xue Pan laughed and said, "Second brother Lian is loyal after all."

Along the way, he saw many civilians smiling and standing against the corner of the wall with their bundles, waiting for them to pass. Xue Pan couldn't help asking, "Who are these people with bundles?"

Zhao Tianliang stayed for a while, and said, "Uncle Xue, do you still remember the people our second master picked out from the shop and the village? The second master has been staring at them for a long time, and now the picks are all lively and sensible." Yes, ask them to be the head of the village and look after the rented house."

Zhuangtou can be regarded as a fat job with a large area of ​​land and hundreds of people. Xue Pan looked back at the coarse cloth coats on those people, and saw a woman whose trousers were wide open. Being able to receive this fat job at once, it can also be seen that all the properties of the Jia family in Jinling have fallen into Jia Lian's hands.

Walking all the way into the front hall of the Jia Amnesty Court, I saw that in the hall with two grand master chairs in front and four high chairs on the left and right below, Jia Lian was flipping through the booklet with a relaxed expression, and beside him was a middle-aged man in gray and black clothes. The young man bowed and pointed at the booklet, whispering in Jia Lian's ear.

"Pan'er came just in time. If you don't come, I will go to your house to look for you." Jia Lian signaled the person standing behind him to leave for the time being.

Only then did Xue Pan recognize that the man was Wu Xindeng from Jia's family, and wondered if this man was tied up with Zhou Rui?He hurriedly took out the roster from his sleeve, handed it to Jia Lian, and said, "Mom said there are still some guys. If the second brother Lian is not enough, just tell me."

"Auntie is really kind. You come from a business family. Come and see for me how to allocate people." Jia Lian put aside the roster that he and Wu Xindeng had read together just now, and took out another account book, asking Xue Pan to sit down. He looks across.

There is a high table with auspicious cloud patterns between the two grand master chairs. On the high table are a plate of fresh lotus seeds, two cups of freshly brewed almond tea, and some brochures.

Xue Pan sat down and squeezed a lotus seed with the skin and threw it into the mouth. While Jia Lian read the booklet, he bit the lotus seed skin with his teeth and extruded the inner flesh. Gargle with almond tea.

Jia Lian put down the brochure and saw that he couldn't rest for a moment, and asked, "I wonder if the monk with a scarlet head has ever visited the house?" Although the situation is very good, it would be best if he could wear it back.

Xue Pan was puzzled and said: "Where did such a monk come from? Lian's second brother said that although our family is not comparable to yours, we are also meeting high-ranking people in big temples. Who has the time to meet such a monk? Monk?"

Jia Lian was a little disappointed, without a monk with a scarlet head, where would Xue Baochai come from above the sea?It took a long time to suppress the disappointment, and asked Xue Pan carefully about the character and ability of the people on the roster. Xue Pan only recognized a few prominent people in it, and did not recognize the others. He only said that the top people were Aunt Xue and Uncle Xue. Picked out.

Jia Lian didn't think that Aunt Xue would dare to molest him in this matter at this time, and felt that the shop had only been raided, and the newcomer would not dare to do anything for at least a year and a half, so he thanked Xue Pan again and listened. Xue Pan said that Xue Baochai was here, and politely asked someone to send some fresh things such as lotus seeds from the village, and made an agreement with Xue Pan that he would pay the silver for him. After reopening, he specially took 300 taels and gave it to Xue Pan, and politely picked out the good ones from others and asked Xue Pan to take it to Aunt Xue.

The Xuepan brothers and sisters were left to let them go back in the evening. In the evening, Jia Lian told Jia She about the opening of the shop the day after tomorrow. It's gone."

"Originally it belonged to us." Jia Lian stood beside the bed and smiled.

"Lian'er...the imperial decree..." Jia She hesitated to speak, after all, now that the eldest family was in such a happy mood, it would be too disappointing to suddenly mention that.

Jia Lian guessed what Jia Amnesty was going to say again, so she went to visit Jia Zheng and retreated, her face sank when she got outside the door, because now Mrs. Xing had been released, and Quan Fu couldn't come here, so she strode out of Mrs. Xing's room. Go, saw Siqi from a distance, and beckoned to Siqi, "Go and ask your wife to come out and talk."

Seeing that Jia Lian's complexion was not good, Si Qi hurriedly invited Mrs. Xing to talk to Jia Lian by the flower bed.

Mrs. Xing came over with a smile, "Brother Lian called me in a hurry, but something happened to the master?" After Jia Lian's cold eyes swept over her, she suddenly raised her heart in her throat, sighing secretly how generous the demon star is in front of people this day. No face was spared for her.

"I heard that the wife is full, so she talked to the master about attacking the noble?" Jia Lian said in a deep voice. Sure enough, Mrs. Xing can neither share adversity nor wealth. " Persuading Jia Amnesty not to "abdicate to the virtuous".Looking at Mrs. Xing's frock with yellow and chrysanthemum patterns on her body, she is quite attractive, and I feel that she is too shy.

Mrs. Xing shuddered, blaming Wang Shanbao's family for their talkativeness, and reminded her that if Jia Lian had married a wife within two years and lived in the Rongxi Hall, she would have to let her preside over the middle school within two years, so she did this Aroused the idea of ​​persuading Jia Amnesty to ask Jia Lian to resign from the title-isn't Jia Lian a dutiful son?Since Jia Amnesty mentioned it, he could only agree.

Mrs. Xing didn't know that Wang Shanbao's family persuaded her, and immediately took the matter to tell Siqi to inform Yingchun, and handed Jia Lian a certificate of nomination.

"Who does Brother Lian listen to? Isn't what belongs to Brother Lian?" Mrs. Xing said with a smile.

"I have already promised my uncle that when I get home, I will return the things of the Xing family, so that my wife's unmarried younger sister in her twenties will have a dowry to marry. As for the others, if my wife is honest If you don't do unnecessary things, you will be pampered, otherwise..." Jia Lian took a step forward threateningly.

Mrs. Xing's heart was beating wildly with fright, but Jia She's body was getting better day by day, she only blamed her for taking his things in the first two days, and then she was broad-minded and disregarded the previous suspicions for each happy event, so her confidence was It was enough, and he sneered and said, "Brother Lian is threatening me?"

"So what? I heard that my wife is ready to take charge of the house, so I advise her to take a rest. I asked Wu Xindeng. The head wife is only in charge of small things such as clothes for four seasons, reciprocal gifts, and distribution of monthly money. It’s enough to find a safe daughter-in-law in charge. Our family has a small population, so we just pay them out every month according to the rules, what else is there?” Jia Lian was eager to take this opportunity to call the Jia family and the relatives of the Jia family earlier. They broke up.

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "Brother Lian, there is absolutely no such reason. When you become a prince, I have to take care of you for many things. Otherwise, who will see you for the relatives and women who come and go? You don't know these few days Here, how many people have I met for you."

Jia Lian said with a smile, "Madam, is this threatening me?" In order to suppress Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing was allowed to receive the female relatives who came to visit when she knew the current affairs. Mrs. Xing's arrogance.

Mrs. Xing watched the flowers in the pots and water tanks all over the yard blooming bright red. She took a light white rose and held it in her hand. She followed Jia Lian's example and said with a dark face: "Brother Lian, I advise you Respect me, I heard that you don't like to marry Feng girl?" She pursed her lips and smiled, "Marriage matters, parents' order and matchmaker's words, these things are all arranged by me for you."
