The Rebirth of Jia She in the Red Chamber
Work related
In his eyes, he didn't say anything. Although Mrs. Xing was in charge of the Jia family's affairs, all the key points were in the hands of Jia Amnesty. The housekeeper Mrs. Xing was more often just a false name.
Originally, Madam Xing lost a bit of toughness when facing Madam Wang. Later, after Jia Amnesty proposed to separate the family, Madam Xing was qualified to challenge Madam Wang, but now Madam Wang's daughter has become a noble person. Under the repeated pressure of Yuanchun by Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu, her self-confidence disappeared.Facing Mrs. Wang Xing's repeated attempts to make things difficult and tempt her, Mrs. Xing just retreated step by step, allowing Mrs. Wang to press on everywhere in the Rongguo Mansion.Jia She is not very clear about these things, Mrs. Wang is very discerning, even if Mrs. Wang did not, Jia Mu beside her would not let their actions alarm Jia She.
After Qin Haoxuan left, an imperial physician with superb medical skills came to the palace on the second day to give Jia She a new diagnosis and treatment. As expected of the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, Jia Amnesty drank the medicine several times according to the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician. , the condition will be cured.Jia She, who recovered from his illness, received a transfer order from the household department as soon as he returned to the Yamen. There are many things to do in the handover of resignation.
Taking advantage of the period before the handover, Jia Amnesty put all his energy on official affairs, and naturally became more relaxed about the inner house, which also gave Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu an opportunity. The servants of the Jia family have always been Seeing the wind and the rudder, now that Erfang has gained power again, he is more respectful to Mrs. Wang than his serious master.
"Mother, sister-in-law, the servants in this house also need to take good care of them. Others will not talk about it, but the maids around Baoyu, which are too few. Baoyu is the legitimate son of the Jia family, the younger brother of the empress, so How can it be possible to have a noble status and only a few waiters around me. Also, the food in Jia’s family is lower than when I was in charge. The palace also relies on our mansion to give the empress a face, if outsiders see our mansion like this, the empress will not look good either."
Mrs. Wang stayed at Jia Mu's place for dinner tonight, saw the dishes on Jia Mu's table, and while serving Jia Mu's meal, she spoke to Mrs. Xing behind her.
"Second brother and sister, these are the rules set by our master. If the second brother and sister feel that they can't take it off, they can talk to the master about it. We still need the master to decide about the women in us." Mrs. Xing has been holding back these days. He was angry, since Mrs. Wang moved away for so many years, he has never experienced this kind of resentment. When Yuan Chun didn't become a concubine, Jia's mother didn't make things difficult like she is now.
As the saying goes, rabbits can bite people when they are in a hurry. Why is Mrs. Xing not a rabbit? At first she did not dare to compete with Mrs. Wang because of her status as Mrs. Wang, but later she found that as she gave in step by step, Mrs. Wang was It's making progress, and now I want to let go of the master and replace her as the person in charge of the Jia family.Mrs. Xing has no children. Does she have much power? Mrs. Wang's pressing has already touched Mrs. Xing's bottom line, and Mrs. Xing is not willing to back down anymore. When she heard Mrs. Wang's words today, she directly retorted.
"Daughter-in-law pardon, daughter-in-law Zheng, shut up both of you. Daughter-in-law Zheng, I know you love Baoyu. Baoyu is the younger brother of the empress and is also the blood of our Jia family. As long as my old lady is around for a day, no one can I bullied Baoyu. All the maids and wives in Baoyu's room were selected for Baoyu by myself, so the daughter-in-law of the government can rest assured."
When Jia's mother heard Mrs. Xing's words, her eyes moved, and she stopped her.This political daughter-in-law is still too reckless, after all, this is the place of the big house. After the separation, the political daughter-in-law is just a guest. At first, she helped her, and under the threat of the empress's banner, the eldest daughter-in-law is not up to the task Only then was Zheng's daughter-in-law intimidated, allowing Zheng's daughter-in-law to gain a firm foothold in Jia's house again.
But she forgot that the real head of the Jia family is not the eldest daughter-in-law, nor her old lady. Only on errands can they do some tricks.If the eldest daughter-in-law is driven to a dead end and she makes a big fuss about it, the eldest will react when she knows what they have done, and Mother Jia is not sure.This boss is becoming more and more unpredictable. For such a big happy event in Jia's family, he was the only one absent during the celebration of the whole house. The reason is that there are so many official duties that people cannot find fault.
Ever since Jia Zheng and the others moved out of Jia's mansion, Jia's mother and Jia Amnesty have always maintained a picture of a loving mother and a filial son.Under this picture, the mother and son have been testing each other's bottom line.Jiamu's rights in Jia's mansion have also survived in name only after so many years of temptation. Now Jiamu can't really control the rest of the place except his origin. Jiamu has lost so many benefits in exchange for it. It was Jia Amnesty's compromise with Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu's ability to live in Jia's mansion for so many years was the result of the game between Jia Mu and Jia Shen. Many years ago, Jia Shen said that Jia Baoyu should leave Jia Mu's inner courtyard, or Like Jia Amnesty, he lived alone in the small courtyard outside.
Or let the second room pick up the Jia family.How could Jia's mother be willing to leave Baoyu from her side, not to mention that she was still thinking about the two jades in her heart. In order to keep Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother had to make some compromises and concessions.Mrs. Wang's visit to Jia's mansion these days, even though Jia Amnesty was dizzy from busy work, he still heard it mentioned by his servants that Jia Amnesty could figure out what kind of intentions this younger brother and sister had in mind without thinking.
This younger brother and sister have a temperament that can't bear any disadvantages. Now that they have the backing of Yuan Chun, they probably want to regain the face they left behind when they came to Dafang this time. Jia She doesn't want to pay too much attention to Mrs. Wang's actions. He To see how shameless Mrs. Wang can go, how long his wife can endure, all the power in the house is in his own hands, Mrs. Wang's behavior is a clown in Jia She's eyes, it's just a joke
The author has something to say: The next step is to gradually become warm and sweet in the plot after the clarification. In a blink of an eye, more than half of the article has been written, and many things have already been on track. The foreshadowing planted before can also be written.The pair of little buns from the Xue family, the Wang family, Jia Lian's marriage, Jia Zhu's funeral, and Baochai Xiangyun will all appear one by one! !
☆、Xue Pan's thoughts
This time, Jia Amnesty had the idea of watching a good show, he wanted to see how shameless Mrs. Wang could be, and how much she could be a villain.
The more Mrs. Wang went too far, the happier Jia She felt.He didn't have a tendency to be abused, but he just thought of what Qin Haoxuan said about Jia Yuanchun's fate. The Taishanghuang's health has not been very good these years. If the affair of King En's rebellion is exposed again, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the Taishanghuang.
Jia She sighed, he was sure that the day when King En's affairs ended would be the day when the Supreme Emperor Dragon returned to the west, and the day when Jia Yuanchun was buried with him.
"Enhou, come here and try this. The imperial dining room just delivered it. I just found out today that Enhou likes sweets. It's surprising." Qin Haoxuan pointed at a plate of lotus seed cake as if offering a treasure. Afterwards, Qin Haoxuan changed his attitude. It seemed that Jia She was working in the Yamen every day, but in fact Jia She spent an hour every afternoon with Qin Haoxuan.
Qin Haoxuan has unprecedented care for those he cares about. This kind of care also made Qin Haoxuan discover a discovery that surprised him. The head of Jia She's family actually prefers sweets. Jia She is unwilling to admit this preference, but in Facing the dim sum carefully made by the chef of the imperial dining room, Jia Amnesty had no ability to resist.
"The second lady in your house is interesting. Jia Yuanchun is also capable. These days, I am very happy to serve my father. After only a few months, my father actually moved to mention her as a concubine. Although it was just a thought, But I can also see Jia Yuanchun's ability." Qin Haoxuan had a sneer on his face when he thought of the news he had received from the Supreme Emperor.
Jia Yuanchun is still too immature. Although pleasing the Supreme Emperor is the best way for her to compete for favor, she doesn't understand how to attract attention. Because of the Supreme Emperor's abdication, the Supreme Emperor's huge harem is crowded into several palaces. , are all people in power in the harem, and now everything has changed with the abdication of the Supreme Emperor. The rights in these women's hands have disappeared, and the whole person's focus is on the Supreme Emperor.
You must know that the Supreme Emperor has been on the throne for so many years, and many of those who survived to become the main concubines are women who have accompanied the Supreme Emperor for more than 20 years.Facing the youthful and beautiful Yuan Chun, they are old and decrepit and naturally make things difficult in every possible way, but now Yuan Chun is the new favorite of the Supreme Emperor and has the care of the Supreme Emperor, they have never found a chance to do it.
"Erfang has always been very good at observing words and demeanor. When the family was not separated, I also saw the ability of Erfang. Yuan Chun was born in Erfang and grew up with his mother. He is very familiar with these things." After eating the last piece of lotus seed cake, Jia She's pink and tender tongue swept all the dregs of the piece of lotus seed cake near his mouth into his mouth.
Qin Haoxuan looked at Jia She's inadvertent little movements, and suddenly felt his blood surge. Since he showed his relationship, he became less and less resistant to Enhou, but Enhou's inadvertent little movements made his blood boil.
"Enhou still has it here, but the lotus seed cake tastes very sweet, but the craftsmanship of the Imperial Dining Room this time is for a reward." Qin Haoxuan's finger stuck to Jia She's lips, and lightly touched Jia She's rosy cheeks. The white dregs were curled up on the lips, and they were put into the mouth without any distaste. Qin Haoxuan's provocative movements were skillful and natural, without any discomfort.
Jia She looked at Qin Haoxuan's movements and turned his face away in embarrassment. It was like this every time. Since the last time, he and Qin Haoxuan seemed to have gotten closer. Facing Qin Haoxuan's approach, he was also stiff and awkward from the very beginning. , and gradually adapt to the present.It's just that until now, he still can't get used to Qin Haoxuan's ambiguous teasing, obviously they are talking about very serious things, but every time he is abducted by Qin Haoxuan.
"Enhou, I talked to you about your son's marriage before. In order to make good use of Yuanchun's knife, I will praise Jia Yuanchun. Those people will naturally have to fight against others, and your life will be more difficult." Hearing about Jia Lian's marriage, Jia Amnesty turned his head and listened carefully.
"In the clan, King Zhuangjun has a daughter who was born as a son. She is about the same age as your son, and her appearance and character are all top choices. King Zhuangjun passed away a few years ago and has no sons. In the end, the eldest son born by the concubine took the throne. This The status of a daughter who is a direct daughter is embarrassing. I was with the queen a while ago, and when the queen mentioned this daughter, the queen was full of praise."
"Daughter of King Zhuangjun, our Jia family really can't afford it." She was orphaned at a young age, and the successor King Zhuangjun is her half-brother. It can be seen that it is difficult for the princess to rely on after she gets married. Her natal family, without the hope of her natal family, is left with only the name of a princess.
It seems like a good choice for the Jia family to marry such a princess and raise their family status, but I don't know if the personality of the princess and Lian'er are compatible, and what is the personality of the princess.Jia Amnesty didn't want his married daughter-in-law to disturb the house.
"Personality? Enhou can rest assured about this. With the friendship between me and Enhou, I will naturally find the most suitable candidate for Enhou." Hearing Qin Haoxuan's words, Jia She felt relieved, although he did not want to admit it. , but Jia She also knew that just like what Qin Haoxuan said, he believed that the person Qin Haoxuan chose for her was the most suitable one.
"Ma'am, the young master and Miss Bao have come to greet the wife." Mrs. Xue looked at Baochai and Xue Pan who came in from the door, and got up and ordered the maid to undress them. Although it doesn't snow in Jinling in winter, but recently These days are the coldest of the year, and the two of them had been spared the morning and evening greetings, but the two children still came on time, and they must not catch a cold.
"Pan'er, I came back early today, is the business going well in the shop outside?" Hearing his mother asking about the shop, Xue Pan nodded, "Don't worry, mother, the shopkeepers in father's shop are all very experienced old shopkeepers. , I have learned a lot from being with them these days, and if I have some doubts, I can also ask my father for advice. But my mother also needs to take care of her health."
Madam Xue looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and smiled in relief.Since going to the capital to celebrate her mother's birthday many years ago, Pan'er seems to be a different person. Although she is still not good at learning, she no longer resists it. After studying with her husband for many years, their Xue family also I count on Pan'er to be able to obtain fame, as long as he can inherit the family business, and don't let the Xue family's family business have no successors, the master and she will be satisfied.
For this point, Pan'er did not disappoint them. In the past two years, the master took Pan'er to deal with the affairs of the shop, and began to get to know people from the Xue family's clan.Jia Shi Wang Xue's four major families originally took root in Jinling, but after kissing her, the three major families all left Jinling, and now only the Xue family is left in Jinling.
The master is the patriarch of the Xue family, and Xue Pan is the only son of the master, and according to common sense, he is also the new patriarch of the Xue family.The patriarch is responsible for the affairs of the entire Xue family clan and dealing with everyone in the clan. In order to train Xue Pan, Master Xue carefully brings Xue Pan with him every day.
"Mother. My brother is very good. My father praised my brother a few days ago. Mother, I made this yesterday." Baochai took out the peony flower she had just embroidered and handed it to Mrs. Xue.
"Baochai's craftsmanship is getting better and better. Our Baochai is really capable." Mrs. Xue is full of pride for her two children, especially Baochai. None of the big families in Jinling Mansion have another Baochai who goes to theirs. Mrs. Xue always felt that she was delaying Baochai when she assigned Baochai to a big family like Jinling, but she didn't marry a big family in Jinling, and the Xue family didn't know the rest of the right family. Although Baochai was still young, she loved her daughter very much. However, Mrs. Xue worried about Baochai's marriage.
"My lord, today I saw the embroidery that Baochai just finished. Our Baochai is becoming more and more outstanding. The family members in Jinling City are not very suitable for our Baochai. If we get engaged to them, we will be wronged." Baochai." These words are not about Mrs. Xue's wangpo selling melons. After so many years, these aristocratic families in Jinling City have long since lost their glory in the past. Mrs. Xue does not want to wrong her daughter.
"Baochai is my daughter, and I take her marriage into consideration. However, as Madam said, there is no suitable candidate for Baochai among the younger generations of the families in Jinling City who have been friends for generations. Come on, we can't be limited to the small place of Jinling, maybe the capital city is a better choice."
Master Xue mentioned the capital city, and secretly made a decision in his heart. The Xue family needs to expand their territory after so many years of development in Jinling. A few days ago, the wife received a letter from the capital city. The daughter of the sister of Mrs. Jia's sister became a concubine Now, the Jia family has also become relatives of the emperor, relatives of the emperor, this is a place that can be used, the most important thing for their Xue family is money, Master Xue has long wanted to leave Jinling and go to a bigger place to fight, especially There are even greater business opportunities at the foot of the emperor in Beijing.
It's just that in the capital, their Xue family has no contacts, no relationship, no reliance, Master Xue is unwilling to act rashly, but now that Jia's family has become a relative of the emperor and has a concubine as a support, their Xue family can also rely on the power of Jia's family , Get a foothold in the business district of the capital.What's more, it will take many years to open up the situation in the capital. It happens that you can bring Baochai to Beijing and find a suitable family for Baochai in the capital. The capital is not a small place like their Jinling, where the young There are countless handsome men, so Baochai can naturally find a well-matched Mr. Right in the capital.
"The capital, master wants to go to the capital? If you really want to go to the capital, brother and sister can help you." Mrs. Xue didn't expect the master to move to the capital. There are many suitable candidates for Baochai in the capital. At that time, she would ask her sister-in-law and sister to find a suitable candidate for Baochai, as well as Pan'er's marriage.
Master Xue is a man of action. When he has a decision in his mind, he starts to act.But Xue’s family has a big business, and it’s not easy to leave Jinling immediately. Moreover, people have to be sent to check things in the capital. Master Xue is not very clear about the current situation in the capital. Opening a shop is not an easy matter. The early stage is to make enough preparations.
"Pan'er, prepare yourself these days. Go to the capital to check the situation in the capital and find a suitable store. You have learned a lot from my side these years. Now I want to check whether you have really learned the skills. .”
Xue Pan didn't expect his father to ask him to go to the capital, so he will see him soon. It has been so many years since the farewell. Although they exchanged letters every month, they only It could be Hongyan passing on the letter, but it cannot relieve the pain of lovesickness. This time when his father wants him to go to Beijing, that person will definitely jump up excitedly when he knows it.Xue Pan thought of the person who was thousands of miles away, and a smile of anticipation appeared on his delicate face.
"Pan'er is the first time you go out this time. Bring more servants to serve you. When you arrive in the capital, you will live with your uncle. I can rest assured that your uncle will take care of you." Mrs. Xue and everyone in the world Like her mother, Mrs. Xue has a thousand and ten thousand worries and worries when facing her son who is going out for the first time.Xue Pan understood his mother's worries, and listened patiently to his mother's explanations. Although his heart wished to fly to the capital as soon as possible, Xue Pan still had no trace of impatience when facing Mrs. Xue.
Back in the room, Xue Pan looked at the maids sorting the parcels, sitting on the chair, looked at the 45 letters in the box, looked at the familiar font, the words that could be recited backwards, the expression of Xue Pan's eyes became more and more gentle, yes When did you start to have inexplicable thoughts about that person, when did you stop being a simple brotherly love for him, when did you start looking forward to letters from that person, and when did that person always appear in front of you? Xue Pan couldn't remember the smiling face.
It has been so long since the separation at the age of six, if it wasn't for the letter correspondence that person insisted on, maybe they would have forgotten each other long ago, then maybe he is the little overlord of Jinling, or the The headaches in front of the eyes of father and mother.When the news of that man getting married the year before last came, Xue Pan couldn't forget that it was the first time in his life that he got drunk that night, and he already knew that this was something that was destined to be absolutely unavoidable.
They are all the only sons in the family, and they all have the responsibility to reproduce for the family. As the sons of man, this is their responsibility. They cannot let the family cut off their children, but why they still cannot control the pain in their hearts. Before he knew it, that person had already entered his heart and engraved his name on it.
Why did this happen, obviously they only met once when they were children, and they were just ordinary brothers at that time, Xue Pan didn't know what happened to the accident, but he was very grateful to God for letting him be there. I met him when I came to Beijing in [-]. I met the right person at the right time. How lucky I am to have such a thing. I don’t know where it started, and it went deeper and deeper. Xue Pan looked at the last sentence in the letter, The smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
The author has something to say: I am so nervous that the results of civil servants will be released tomorrow. If there is no update tomorrow, it means that I did not pass the exam and I feel depressed!
☆, Warm interaction
Wang Ren came back from the yamen of the Wang family in the capital, and when he saw the daughter-in-law and younger sister standing beside his mother, the smile on his face froze.
"Ren'er is back. Recently, I heard from your wife that you don't look very good. Don't work so hard on the yamen. This is what my mother ordered the small kitchen to make. Ren'er has a taste to see if it suits your appetite."
"Thank you, mother. My son can still handle business matters. Mother doesn't have to worry." Wang Ren was about to leave after dinner, but was stopped by Wang Ziteng's wife.
"Ren'er almost forgot to tell you something. I received a letter from your aunt in Jinling this afternoon. A few days later, your cousin from your aunt's house will come to Beijing to check on the store. When the time comes, he will be with us. Staying here temporarily, the relationship between you two brothers has always been very good, after Pan'er comes this time, you must treat your cousin as a landlord."
Xue Pan, Pan'er is going to Beijing, Wang Ren's body trembled, and he couldn't believe his ears, "Mother, do you want my son to read the letter from my aunt?" Xue Pan took the letter from the maid, word by word. The writer carefully looked at the thin piece of paper for a long time before opening his mouth and saying:
"This is a good thing. It seems that my uncle intends to come to Beijing to start a business. My cousin is expected to be in the capital for a long time this time. Zhuyu, my cousin is a close relative of our Wang family. You can take care of it yourself. For a moment, I remember that our Jingsi Garden in the southwest has been vacant for a long time. This time, I packed it up for my cousin to live in. The furnishings in the garden are already outdated, and all of them have been replaced with new ones. According to the date in the letter, my cousin will leave in a few days. It’s time to arrive, you need to be quicker. Our family needs to hire a cook who can cook Jinling cuisine. My cousin grew up in Jinling, so he may not be suitable for the food in the capital. It’s better to hire a cook from Jinling .”
Zhuyu Wangren's daughter-in-law watched her husband give him so many details one by one, and the smile on her face became more and more reluctant. Did the husband care too much about his cousin? Since they got married, in her mind, her husband She has a dull personality and usually speaks little. At first she thought that the husband was dissatisfied with her, but later learned from the maid that the husband has such a personality. He is becoming more and more stable, which in the eyes of the master is a sign of maturity, and all the servants in the house are happy to see it.
Her newlywed wife has gradually adapted to her husband's cold and dull personality, but today she discovered another side of him. From the wedding to today, this is the first time he has seen Wang Ren behave like this. This is not a simple person, Zhuyu thought to herself.
Wang Ren didn't realize what was wrong, and he couldn't calm down when he returned to his room. The news that Pan'er was going to Beijing was actually heard from his mother. When you come to Beijing, you must interrogate him carefully. I haven't seen him for so many years. I don't know what Pan'er has become and whether it matches the image he imagined.
For Wang Ren, Xue Pan has always been the most special existence in his life. Xue Pan didn't know when he fell in love with Wang Ren, but Wang Ren knew when he had other thoughts about Xue Pan.From the first time Xue Pan looked at him with adoring eyes, Wang Ren had inexplicably cared about this cousin. Of course, it was only because Xue Pan was the only one who worshiped him at that time, but as When I met Jia Lian that time, the admiration in Xue Pan's eyes when facing Jia Lian stimulated Wang Ren's self-esteem. After Wang Ren bid farewell to Jia Lian and Jia Zhu, he made a gentleman's appointment with Xue Pan.
Thinking about the agreement that was just to let Xue Pan underestimate, it became their starting point.After Wang Ren left Xue Pan, he asked Wang Ziteng to find a new gentleman. Wang Ren knew himself. For the imperial examination, he was too old and had no talent. He wanted to rely on this to surpass Jia Lian. It is difficult.
But he was more fortunate than Jia Lian in that Wang Ziteng was a man of means. Wang Ren's performance was watched by Wang Ziteng. With Wang Ziteng's arrangement, Wang Ren did not participate in the imperial examination and began to work in the court.Although Wang Ziteng paved a way for Wang Ren, it was Wang Ren's own efforts to gain a firm foothold in the Yamen.
Wang Ren knew very well that it was impossible for him to rely on Wang Ziteng for a lifetime, and even if he could, he was not worthy of Xue Pan's admiration, in order to gain a firm foothold in the Yamen and adapt to the officialdom.Only Wang Ren knows how much effort Wang Ren has made in private.Hard work pays off, after several years of hard work, Wang Ren finally started his first step in the court.
"Young Master, the capital is here. My wife sent a letter to my uncle's mansion in the capital a few days ago. My uncle's mansion should have sent someone to pick us up."
Xue Pan didn’t expect that he didn’t suffer from seasickness when he was young, but now that he’s grown up, he doesn’t know when he got this problem. These days, Xue Pan gets seasick very badly. He has been lethargic and sleepy for many days since he got on the boat, and he can’t eat anymore. Anything, the whole person has no spirit.The servants of the Xue family who accompanied Xue Pan to the capital looked at Xue Pan's pale and bloodless face, and the only thing they could do was to keep urging the boatmen to speed up and try to reach the capital as soon as possible.
Wang Ren came back from the Yamen early today and went to the ferry in person to wait for the ferry from Jinling.
"Excuse me, is this the Xue family's boat from Jinling?" The servants of the Wang family saw the passenger boat gradually approaching and asked a few steps forward. "It's the Xue family in Jinling. If you dare to ask me, it's the capital. After the two young men's conversations confirmed the identity of the other party, Wang Ren couldn't help but walk on the docked boat. He waited for so many years. It was like seeing Xue Pan for the first time, to see if he coincided with the figure in his memory, and if it was the same as he imagined.
But Wang Ren never thought that Xue Pan would get seasick. They reunited after so many years. It should have been a warm and sweet reunion. It should have been a touching reunion, but how could it be so? Many years later, Wang Ren will never forget that day, even though that day At that time, he and Xue Pan had gone through various trials and came together, but Wang Ren would never forget the scene that day, and Xue Pan was also not forgotten. It was a great shame and shame in his life. Thinking that Xue Pan, who has Pan An in the business world, would have such an embarrassing scene, thinking that Wang Ren was made rosy in white and black in red by him that day. Pan wished that time could turn back.
As soon as he got on the boat, Wang Ren's eyes were fixed on the young man in the sky-blue gown. He came to welcome Xue Pan today to give him a surprise. Seeing Xue Pan, Wang Ren walked a few steps to Xue Pan, and was about to speak. , but saw the boy wow and spit it out.Wang Ren's clothes today were specially dressed up to welcome Xue Pan. The distance between him and Xue Pan was too close, and Xue Pan came out too suddenly.
Wang Ren had no time to dodge, he could only watch the disgusting yellow liquid appear on his clothes.Xue Pan, who vomited, felt much better. These days he ate and vomited, especially yesterday and today, Xue Pan couldn't bear it any longer. Today the boat stopped, and Xue Pan was helped out of the cabin After feeling a gust of breeze, I spit it out in a gulp.Feeling comfortable, Xue Pan raised his head and saw the strange man standing in front of him who became a scapegoat, and had a bad guess in his heart.
"Master Wang, our young master is seasick, that's why..." The maid next to Xue Pan didn't know what to say. The young master of the Wang family was too embarrassed today, and his own young master got into trouble this time.
"Seasickness, how could this happen? My cousin didn't get seasick when he was young. You two go invite Langzhong to the mansion. The carriage is already there outside. Let's go back first!" Wang Ren wanted to catch up with Xue Pan, but The disgusting smell of the fairy body after being broken, coupled with Xue Pan's bloodless face, made Wang Ren only wish to arrive at the Wang's house earlier and let Xue Pan rest earlier.
"Cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time. The first time I met you today made my cousin suffer in vain." Sitting in the carriage, Xue Pan rested for a while, looked at Wang Ren who had taken off his coat and was only wearing a white coat, and said, Xue Pan's eyes fixed on Wang Ren's face, Wang Ren changed, he was much more mature than the boy in his memory.
"Cousin, what are you talking about, but my cousin's health is better. If I know that my cousin is seasick, I will bring my doctor to pick up my cousin. Why didn't my cousin take the dry road? It would save me a lot of hard work that way." "Wang Ren said while holding Xue Pan's hands in his, looking at Xue Pan with worried eyes.
"Pan'er slept for a while, and I will wake up Pan'er when we get to the mansion." After talking to Wang Ren, Xue Pan began to feel tired.Due to the turbulence and sway on the boat these days, Xue Pan didn't get a good night's sleep. Although the carriage was also a little bumpy now, Xue Pan gradually became sleepy by Wang Ren's side.Wang Ren's eyes never left Xue Pan since the reunion, Xue Pan's exhaustion naturally couldn't escape his eyes.
"When you get to uncle's house, remember to wake me up in advance." Xue Pan closed his eyes and fell asleep. He didn't know what Xue Pan dreamed about in the dream, and the smile on his face became more and more gentle.Wang Ren was afraid that Xue Pan would be uncomfortable, so he put Xue Pan's head on his lap, half embraced Xue Pan and let the other party treat him as a pillow. It felt really good to hold Xue Pan, and the dream of so many years finally came to an end. Today, once he got his wish, Xue Pan fascinated him more than he imagined, and he was more in tune with him than he imagined.
"Master, madam, young mistress, the young master's carriage is back, and the young master of the Xue family has already picked it up." Hearing that Wang Ren went to pick up Xue Pan, Zhuyu's complexion changed, and she didn't hear that the gentleman was going to pick up the young master of the Xue family today. Well, the affairs of Xianggong Yamen are always very busy, but this time it is strange.
"Xue Pan met his uncle, his aunt, and his cousin." Before arriving at Wang's house, Wang Ren woke Xue Pan up, and saw the man in front of him staring at him with big, unfocused eyes. Wang Ren rubbed Xue Pan's hair with his hands, and when Xue Pan gave him a hard look, he smiled awkwardly, arranged Xue Pan's clothes, looked at Xue Pan carefully, got out of the carriage, and brought Xue Pan to Go to the main hall.
"Master, your coat." After Wang Ren got off the carriage, the servants of the Wang family took Wang Ren's coat and helped Wang Ren change. "Pan'er is here, I haven't seen Pan'er for so many years, how are your parents?" Wang Ziteng looked at Xue Pan who was standing with his son, and asked.
"If you go back to my uncle, my parents are very good, and my parents are also thinking about my uncle and aunt. This time, my nephew Jin Jing, my parents asked my nephew to bring some local Jinling specialties." Xue Pan said and ordered the servants around him to bring the prepared things. Bring it up.
"Cousin, it's finally here. I heard from my husband that my husband and my cousin are brothers. After seeing it today, I really understand why my cousin and my cousin are on good terms. I have already prepared my cousin's residence, and I will let him Take my cousin to see if it is suitable. If there is anything missing, my cousin will tell me, my sister-in-law. This time my cousin is here, and my husband specially ordered the mansion to prepare a cook who can cook Jinling dishes. My cousin will try it today. And my cousin's appetite, this Jinling chef is very good at cooking Jinling dishes in our capital..."
It was the first time Xue Pan saw this cousin.For this cousin, for this woman who can stand beside Wang Ren openly, although Xue Pan knew that she should not be jealous, and she should not be jealous, but for this woman with a gentle smile in front of her, Xue Pan couldn't hide her envy.
"Trouble cousin, Xue Pan's visit to Beijing this time, a cousin has caused a lot of trouble. This is a gift my mother prepared for my cousin and nephew. This bead chain is what my mother asked for me in Jing'an Temple when I was young. The one who came here was enlightened by the master, from childhood to adulthood
Originally, Madam Xing lost a bit of toughness when facing Madam Wang. Later, after Jia Amnesty proposed to separate the family, Madam Xing was qualified to challenge Madam Wang, but now Madam Wang's daughter has become a noble person. Under the repeated pressure of Yuanchun by Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu, her self-confidence disappeared.Facing Mrs. Wang Xing's repeated attempts to make things difficult and tempt her, Mrs. Xing just retreated step by step, allowing Mrs. Wang to press on everywhere in the Rongguo Mansion.Jia She is not very clear about these things, Mrs. Wang is very discerning, even if Mrs. Wang did not, Jia Mu beside her would not let their actions alarm Jia She.
After Qin Haoxuan left, an imperial physician with superb medical skills came to the palace on the second day to give Jia She a new diagnosis and treatment. As expected of the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, Jia Amnesty drank the medicine several times according to the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician. , the condition will be cured.Jia She, who recovered from his illness, received a transfer order from the household department as soon as he returned to the Yamen. There are many things to do in the handover of resignation.
Taking advantage of the period before the handover, Jia Amnesty put all his energy on official affairs, and naturally became more relaxed about the inner house, which also gave Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu an opportunity. The servants of the Jia family have always been Seeing the wind and the rudder, now that Erfang has gained power again, he is more respectful to Mrs. Wang than his serious master.
"Mother, sister-in-law, the servants in this house also need to take good care of them. Others will not talk about it, but the maids around Baoyu, which are too few. Baoyu is the legitimate son of the Jia family, the younger brother of the empress, so How can it be possible to have a noble status and only a few waiters around me. Also, the food in Jia’s family is lower than when I was in charge. The palace also relies on our mansion to give the empress a face, if outsiders see our mansion like this, the empress will not look good either."
Mrs. Wang stayed at Jia Mu's place for dinner tonight, saw the dishes on Jia Mu's table, and while serving Jia Mu's meal, she spoke to Mrs. Xing behind her.
"Second brother and sister, these are the rules set by our master. If the second brother and sister feel that they can't take it off, they can talk to the master about it. We still need the master to decide about the women in us." Mrs. Xing has been holding back these days. He was angry, since Mrs. Wang moved away for so many years, he has never experienced this kind of resentment. When Yuan Chun didn't become a concubine, Jia's mother didn't make things difficult like she is now.
As the saying goes, rabbits can bite people when they are in a hurry. Why is Mrs. Xing not a rabbit? At first she did not dare to compete with Mrs. Wang because of her status as Mrs. Wang, but later she found that as she gave in step by step, Mrs. Wang was It's making progress, and now I want to let go of the master and replace her as the person in charge of the Jia family.Mrs. Xing has no children. Does she have much power? Mrs. Wang's pressing has already touched Mrs. Xing's bottom line, and Mrs. Xing is not willing to back down anymore. When she heard Mrs. Wang's words today, she directly retorted.
"Daughter-in-law pardon, daughter-in-law Zheng, shut up both of you. Daughter-in-law Zheng, I know you love Baoyu. Baoyu is the younger brother of the empress and is also the blood of our Jia family. As long as my old lady is around for a day, no one can I bullied Baoyu. All the maids and wives in Baoyu's room were selected for Baoyu by myself, so the daughter-in-law of the government can rest assured."
When Jia's mother heard Mrs. Xing's words, her eyes moved, and she stopped her.This political daughter-in-law is still too reckless, after all, this is the place of the big house. After the separation, the political daughter-in-law is just a guest. At first, she helped her, and under the threat of the empress's banner, the eldest daughter-in-law is not up to the task Only then was Zheng's daughter-in-law intimidated, allowing Zheng's daughter-in-law to gain a firm foothold in Jia's house again.
But she forgot that the real head of the Jia family is not the eldest daughter-in-law, nor her old lady. Only on errands can they do some tricks.If the eldest daughter-in-law is driven to a dead end and she makes a big fuss about it, the eldest will react when she knows what they have done, and Mother Jia is not sure.This boss is becoming more and more unpredictable. For such a big happy event in Jia's family, he was the only one absent during the celebration of the whole house. The reason is that there are so many official duties that people cannot find fault.
Ever since Jia Zheng and the others moved out of Jia's mansion, Jia's mother and Jia Amnesty have always maintained a picture of a loving mother and a filial son.Under this picture, the mother and son have been testing each other's bottom line.Jiamu's rights in Jia's mansion have also survived in name only after so many years of temptation. Now Jiamu can't really control the rest of the place except his origin. Jiamu has lost so many benefits in exchange for it. It was Jia Amnesty's compromise with Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu's ability to live in Jia's mansion for so many years was the result of the game between Jia Mu and Jia Shen. Many years ago, Jia Shen said that Jia Baoyu should leave Jia Mu's inner courtyard, or Like Jia Amnesty, he lived alone in the small courtyard outside.
Or let the second room pick up the Jia family.How could Jia's mother be willing to leave Baoyu from her side, not to mention that she was still thinking about the two jades in her heart. In order to keep Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother had to make some compromises and concessions.Mrs. Wang's visit to Jia's mansion these days, even though Jia Amnesty was dizzy from busy work, he still heard it mentioned by his servants that Jia Amnesty could figure out what kind of intentions this younger brother and sister had in mind without thinking.
This younger brother and sister have a temperament that can't bear any disadvantages. Now that they have the backing of Yuan Chun, they probably want to regain the face they left behind when they came to Dafang this time. Jia She doesn't want to pay too much attention to Mrs. Wang's actions. He To see how shameless Mrs. Wang can go, how long his wife can endure, all the power in the house is in his own hands, Mrs. Wang's behavior is a clown in Jia She's eyes, it's just a joke
The author has something to say: The next step is to gradually become warm and sweet in the plot after the clarification. In a blink of an eye, more than half of the article has been written, and many things have already been on track. The foreshadowing planted before can also be written.The pair of little buns from the Xue family, the Wang family, Jia Lian's marriage, Jia Zhu's funeral, and Baochai Xiangyun will all appear one by one! !
☆、Xue Pan's thoughts
This time, Jia Amnesty had the idea of watching a good show, he wanted to see how shameless Mrs. Wang could be, and how much she could be a villain.
The more Mrs. Wang went too far, the happier Jia She felt.He didn't have a tendency to be abused, but he just thought of what Qin Haoxuan said about Jia Yuanchun's fate. The Taishanghuang's health has not been very good these years. If the affair of King En's rebellion is exposed again, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the Taishanghuang.
Jia She sighed, he was sure that the day when King En's affairs ended would be the day when the Supreme Emperor Dragon returned to the west, and the day when Jia Yuanchun was buried with him.
"Enhou, come here and try this. The imperial dining room just delivered it. I just found out today that Enhou likes sweets. It's surprising." Qin Haoxuan pointed at a plate of lotus seed cake as if offering a treasure. Afterwards, Qin Haoxuan changed his attitude. It seemed that Jia She was working in the Yamen every day, but in fact Jia She spent an hour every afternoon with Qin Haoxuan.
Qin Haoxuan has unprecedented care for those he cares about. This kind of care also made Qin Haoxuan discover a discovery that surprised him. The head of Jia She's family actually prefers sweets. Jia She is unwilling to admit this preference, but in Facing the dim sum carefully made by the chef of the imperial dining room, Jia Amnesty had no ability to resist.
"The second lady in your house is interesting. Jia Yuanchun is also capable. These days, I am very happy to serve my father. After only a few months, my father actually moved to mention her as a concubine. Although it was just a thought, But I can also see Jia Yuanchun's ability." Qin Haoxuan had a sneer on his face when he thought of the news he had received from the Supreme Emperor.
Jia Yuanchun is still too immature. Although pleasing the Supreme Emperor is the best way for her to compete for favor, she doesn't understand how to attract attention. Because of the Supreme Emperor's abdication, the Supreme Emperor's huge harem is crowded into several palaces. , are all people in power in the harem, and now everything has changed with the abdication of the Supreme Emperor. The rights in these women's hands have disappeared, and the whole person's focus is on the Supreme Emperor.
You must know that the Supreme Emperor has been on the throne for so many years, and many of those who survived to become the main concubines are women who have accompanied the Supreme Emperor for more than 20 years.Facing the youthful and beautiful Yuan Chun, they are old and decrepit and naturally make things difficult in every possible way, but now Yuan Chun is the new favorite of the Supreme Emperor and has the care of the Supreme Emperor, they have never found a chance to do it.
"Erfang has always been very good at observing words and demeanor. When the family was not separated, I also saw the ability of Erfang. Yuan Chun was born in Erfang and grew up with his mother. He is very familiar with these things." After eating the last piece of lotus seed cake, Jia She's pink and tender tongue swept all the dregs of the piece of lotus seed cake near his mouth into his mouth.
Qin Haoxuan looked at Jia She's inadvertent little movements, and suddenly felt his blood surge. Since he showed his relationship, he became less and less resistant to Enhou, but Enhou's inadvertent little movements made his blood boil.
"Enhou still has it here, but the lotus seed cake tastes very sweet, but the craftsmanship of the Imperial Dining Room this time is for a reward." Qin Haoxuan's finger stuck to Jia She's lips, and lightly touched Jia She's rosy cheeks. The white dregs were curled up on the lips, and they were put into the mouth without any distaste. Qin Haoxuan's provocative movements were skillful and natural, without any discomfort.
Jia She looked at Qin Haoxuan's movements and turned his face away in embarrassment. It was like this every time. Since the last time, he and Qin Haoxuan seemed to have gotten closer. Facing Qin Haoxuan's approach, he was also stiff and awkward from the very beginning. , and gradually adapt to the present.It's just that until now, he still can't get used to Qin Haoxuan's ambiguous teasing, obviously they are talking about very serious things, but every time he is abducted by Qin Haoxuan.
"Enhou, I talked to you about your son's marriage before. In order to make good use of Yuanchun's knife, I will praise Jia Yuanchun. Those people will naturally have to fight against others, and your life will be more difficult." Hearing about Jia Lian's marriage, Jia Amnesty turned his head and listened carefully.
"In the clan, King Zhuangjun has a daughter who was born as a son. She is about the same age as your son, and her appearance and character are all top choices. King Zhuangjun passed away a few years ago and has no sons. In the end, the eldest son born by the concubine took the throne. This The status of a daughter who is a direct daughter is embarrassing. I was with the queen a while ago, and when the queen mentioned this daughter, the queen was full of praise."
"Daughter of King Zhuangjun, our Jia family really can't afford it." She was orphaned at a young age, and the successor King Zhuangjun is her half-brother. It can be seen that it is difficult for the princess to rely on after she gets married. Her natal family, without the hope of her natal family, is left with only the name of a princess.
It seems like a good choice for the Jia family to marry such a princess and raise their family status, but I don't know if the personality of the princess and Lian'er are compatible, and what is the personality of the princess.Jia Amnesty didn't want his married daughter-in-law to disturb the house.
"Personality? Enhou can rest assured about this. With the friendship between me and Enhou, I will naturally find the most suitable candidate for Enhou." Hearing Qin Haoxuan's words, Jia She felt relieved, although he did not want to admit it. , but Jia She also knew that just like what Qin Haoxuan said, he believed that the person Qin Haoxuan chose for her was the most suitable one.
"Ma'am, the young master and Miss Bao have come to greet the wife." Mrs. Xue looked at Baochai and Xue Pan who came in from the door, and got up and ordered the maid to undress them. Although it doesn't snow in Jinling in winter, but recently These days are the coldest of the year, and the two of them had been spared the morning and evening greetings, but the two children still came on time, and they must not catch a cold.
"Pan'er, I came back early today, is the business going well in the shop outside?" Hearing his mother asking about the shop, Xue Pan nodded, "Don't worry, mother, the shopkeepers in father's shop are all very experienced old shopkeepers. , I have learned a lot from being with them these days, and if I have some doubts, I can also ask my father for advice. But my mother also needs to take care of her health."
Madam Xue looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and smiled in relief.Since going to the capital to celebrate her mother's birthday many years ago, Pan'er seems to be a different person. Although she is still not good at learning, she no longer resists it. After studying with her husband for many years, their Xue family also I count on Pan'er to be able to obtain fame, as long as he can inherit the family business, and don't let the Xue family's family business have no successors, the master and she will be satisfied.
For this point, Pan'er did not disappoint them. In the past two years, the master took Pan'er to deal with the affairs of the shop, and began to get to know people from the Xue family's clan.Jia Shi Wang Xue's four major families originally took root in Jinling, but after kissing her, the three major families all left Jinling, and now only the Xue family is left in Jinling.
The master is the patriarch of the Xue family, and Xue Pan is the only son of the master, and according to common sense, he is also the new patriarch of the Xue family.The patriarch is responsible for the affairs of the entire Xue family clan and dealing with everyone in the clan. In order to train Xue Pan, Master Xue carefully brings Xue Pan with him every day.
"Mother. My brother is very good. My father praised my brother a few days ago. Mother, I made this yesterday." Baochai took out the peony flower she had just embroidered and handed it to Mrs. Xue.
"Baochai's craftsmanship is getting better and better. Our Baochai is really capable." Mrs. Xue is full of pride for her two children, especially Baochai. None of the big families in Jinling Mansion have another Baochai who goes to theirs. Mrs. Xue always felt that she was delaying Baochai when she assigned Baochai to a big family like Jinling, but she didn't marry a big family in Jinling, and the Xue family didn't know the rest of the right family. Although Baochai was still young, she loved her daughter very much. However, Mrs. Xue worried about Baochai's marriage.
"My lord, today I saw the embroidery that Baochai just finished. Our Baochai is becoming more and more outstanding. The family members in Jinling City are not very suitable for our Baochai. If we get engaged to them, we will be wronged." Baochai." These words are not about Mrs. Xue's wangpo selling melons. After so many years, these aristocratic families in Jinling City have long since lost their glory in the past. Mrs. Xue does not want to wrong her daughter.
"Baochai is my daughter, and I take her marriage into consideration. However, as Madam said, there is no suitable candidate for Baochai among the younger generations of the families in Jinling City who have been friends for generations. Come on, we can't be limited to the small place of Jinling, maybe the capital city is a better choice."
Master Xue mentioned the capital city, and secretly made a decision in his heart. The Xue family needs to expand their territory after so many years of development in Jinling. A few days ago, the wife received a letter from the capital city. The daughter of the sister of Mrs. Jia's sister became a concubine Now, the Jia family has also become relatives of the emperor, relatives of the emperor, this is a place that can be used, the most important thing for their Xue family is money, Master Xue has long wanted to leave Jinling and go to a bigger place to fight, especially There are even greater business opportunities at the foot of the emperor in Beijing.
It's just that in the capital, their Xue family has no contacts, no relationship, no reliance, Master Xue is unwilling to act rashly, but now that Jia's family has become a relative of the emperor and has a concubine as a support, their Xue family can also rely on the power of Jia's family , Get a foothold in the business district of the capital.What's more, it will take many years to open up the situation in the capital. It happens that you can bring Baochai to Beijing and find a suitable family for Baochai in the capital. The capital is not a small place like their Jinling, where the young There are countless handsome men, so Baochai can naturally find a well-matched Mr. Right in the capital.
"The capital, master wants to go to the capital? If you really want to go to the capital, brother and sister can help you." Mrs. Xue didn't expect the master to move to the capital. There are many suitable candidates for Baochai in the capital. At that time, she would ask her sister-in-law and sister to find a suitable candidate for Baochai, as well as Pan'er's marriage.
Master Xue is a man of action. When he has a decision in his mind, he starts to act.But Xue’s family has a big business, and it’s not easy to leave Jinling immediately. Moreover, people have to be sent to check things in the capital. Master Xue is not very clear about the current situation in the capital. Opening a shop is not an easy matter. The early stage is to make enough preparations.
"Pan'er, prepare yourself these days. Go to the capital to check the situation in the capital and find a suitable store. You have learned a lot from my side these years. Now I want to check whether you have really learned the skills. .”
Xue Pan didn't expect his father to ask him to go to the capital, so he will see him soon. It has been so many years since the farewell. Although they exchanged letters every month, they only It could be Hongyan passing on the letter, but it cannot relieve the pain of lovesickness. This time when his father wants him to go to Beijing, that person will definitely jump up excitedly when he knows it.Xue Pan thought of the person who was thousands of miles away, and a smile of anticipation appeared on his delicate face.
"Pan'er is the first time you go out this time. Bring more servants to serve you. When you arrive in the capital, you will live with your uncle. I can rest assured that your uncle will take care of you." Mrs. Xue and everyone in the world Like her mother, Mrs. Xue has a thousand and ten thousand worries and worries when facing her son who is going out for the first time.Xue Pan understood his mother's worries, and listened patiently to his mother's explanations. Although his heart wished to fly to the capital as soon as possible, Xue Pan still had no trace of impatience when facing Mrs. Xue.
Back in the room, Xue Pan looked at the maids sorting the parcels, sitting on the chair, looked at the 45 letters in the box, looked at the familiar font, the words that could be recited backwards, the expression of Xue Pan's eyes became more and more gentle, yes When did you start to have inexplicable thoughts about that person, when did you stop being a simple brotherly love for him, when did you start looking forward to letters from that person, and when did that person always appear in front of you? Xue Pan couldn't remember the smiling face.
It has been so long since the separation at the age of six, if it wasn't for the letter correspondence that person insisted on, maybe they would have forgotten each other long ago, then maybe he is the little overlord of Jinling, or the The headaches in front of the eyes of father and mother.When the news of that man getting married the year before last came, Xue Pan couldn't forget that it was the first time in his life that he got drunk that night, and he already knew that this was something that was destined to be absolutely unavoidable.
They are all the only sons in the family, and they all have the responsibility to reproduce for the family. As the sons of man, this is their responsibility. They cannot let the family cut off their children, but why they still cannot control the pain in their hearts. Before he knew it, that person had already entered his heart and engraved his name on it.
Why did this happen, obviously they only met once when they were children, and they were just ordinary brothers at that time, Xue Pan didn't know what happened to the accident, but he was very grateful to God for letting him be there. I met him when I came to Beijing in [-]. I met the right person at the right time. How lucky I am to have such a thing. I don’t know where it started, and it went deeper and deeper. Xue Pan looked at the last sentence in the letter, The smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
The author has something to say: I am so nervous that the results of civil servants will be released tomorrow. If there is no update tomorrow, it means that I did not pass the exam and I feel depressed!
☆, Warm interaction
Wang Ren came back from the yamen of the Wang family in the capital, and when he saw the daughter-in-law and younger sister standing beside his mother, the smile on his face froze.
"Ren'er is back. Recently, I heard from your wife that you don't look very good. Don't work so hard on the yamen. This is what my mother ordered the small kitchen to make. Ren'er has a taste to see if it suits your appetite."
"Thank you, mother. My son can still handle business matters. Mother doesn't have to worry." Wang Ren was about to leave after dinner, but was stopped by Wang Ziteng's wife.
"Ren'er almost forgot to tell you something. I received a letter from your aunt in Jinling this afternoon. A few days later, your cousin from your aunt's house will come to Beijing to check on the store. When the time comes, he will be with us. Staying here temporarily, the relationship between you two brothers has always been very good, after Pan'er comes this time, you must treat your cousin as a landlord."
Xue Pan, Pan'er is going to Beijing, Wang Ren's body trembled, and he couldn't believe his ears, "Mother, do you want my son to read the letter from my aunt?" Xue Pan took the letter from the maid, word by word. The writer carefully looked at the thin piece of paper for a long time before opening his mouth and saying:
"This is a good thing. It seems that my uncle intends to come to Beijing to start a business. My cousin is expected to be in the capital for a long time this time. Zhuyu, my cousin is a close relative of our Wang family. You can take care of it yourself. For a moment, I remember that our Jingsi Garden in the southwest has been vacant for a long time. This time, I packed it up for my cousin to live in. The furnishings in the garden are already outdated, and all of them have been replaced with new ones. According to the date in the letter, my cousin will leave in a few days. It’s time to arrive, you need to be quicker. Our family needs to hire a cook who can cook Jinling cuisine. My cousin grew up in Jinling, so he may not be suitable for the food in the capital. It’s better to hire a cook from Jinling .”
Zhuyu Wangren's daughter-in-law watched her husband give him so many details one by one, and the smile on her face became more and more reluctant. Did the husband care too much about his cousin? Since they got married, in her mind, her husband She has a dull personality and usually speaks little. At first she thought that the husband was dissatisfied with her, but later learned from the maid that the husband has such a personality. He is becoming more and more stable, which in the eyes of the master is a sign of maturity, and all the servants in the house are happy to see it.
Her newlywed wife has gradually adapted to her husband's cold and dull personality, but today she discovered another side of him. From the wedding to today, this is the first time he has seen Wang Ren behave like this. This is not a simple person, Zhuyu thought to herself.
Wang Ren didn't realize what was wrong, and he couldn't calm down when he returned to his room. The news that Pan'er was going to Beijing was actually heard from his mother. When you come to Beijing, you must interrogate him carefully. I haven't seen him for so many years. I don't know what Pan'er has become and whether it matches the image he imagined.
For Wang Ren, Xue Pan has always been the most special existence in his life. Xue Pan didn't know when he fell in love with Wang Ren, but Wang Ren knew when he had other thoughts about Xue Pan.From the first time Xue Pan looked at him with adoring eyes, Wang Ren had inexplicably cared about this cousin. Of course, it was only because Xue Pan was the only one who worshiped him at that time, but as When I met Jia Lian that time, the admiration in Xue Pan's eyes when facing Jia Lian stimulated Wang Ren's self-esteem. After Wang Ren bid farewell to Jia Lian and Jia Zhu, he made a gentleman's appointment with Xue Pan.
Thinking about the agreement that was just to let Xue Pan underestimate, it became their starting point.After Wang Ren left Xue Pan, he asked Wang Ziteng to find a new gentleman. Wang Ren knew himself. For the imperial examination, he was too old and had no talent. He wanted to rely on this to surpass Jia Lian. It is difficult.
But he was more fortunate than Jia Lian in that Wang Ziteng was a man of means. Wang Ren's performance was watched by Wang Ziteng. With Wang Ziteng's arrangement, Wang Ren did not participate in the imperial examination and began to work in the court.Although Wang Ziteng paved a way for Wang Ren, it was Wang Ren's own efforts to gain a firm foothold in the Yamen.
Wang Ren knew very well that it was impossible for him to rely on Wang Ziteng for a lifetime, and even if he could, he was not worthy of Xue Pan's admiration, in order to gain a firm foothold in the Yamen and adapt to the officialdom.Only Wang Ren knows how much effort Wang Ren has made in private.Hard work pays off, after several years of hard work, Wang Ren finally started his first step in the court.
"Young Master, the capital is here. My wife sent a letter to my uncle's mansion in the capital a few days ago. My uncle's mansion should have sent someone to pick us up."
Xue Pan didn’t expect that he didn’t suffer from seasickness when he was young, but now that he’s grown up, he doesn’t know when he got this problem. These days, Xue Pan gets seasick very badly. He has been lethargic and sleepy for many days since he got on the boat, and he can’t eat anymore. Anything, the whole person has no spirit.The servants of the Xue family who accompanied Xue Pan to the capital looked at Xue Pan's pale and bloodless face, and the only thing they could do was to keep urging the boatmen to speed up and try to reach the capital as soon as possible.
Wang Ren came back from the Yamen early today and went to the ferry in person to wait for the ferry from Jinling.
"Excuse me, is this the Xue family's boat from Jinling?" The servants of the Wang family saw the passenger boat gradually approaching and asked a few steps forward. "It's the Xue family in Jinling. If you dare to ask me, it's the capital. After the two young men's conversations confirmed the identity of the other party, Wang Ren couldn't help but walk on the docked boat. He waited for so many years. It was like seeing Xue Pan for the first time, to see if he coincided with the figure in his memory, and if it was the same as he imagined.
But Wang Ren never thought that Xue Pan would get seasick. They reunited after so many years. It should have been a warm and sweet reunion. It should have been a touching reunion, but how could it be so? Many years later, Wang Ren will never forget that day, even though that day At that time, he and Xue Pan had gone through various trials and came together, but Wang Ren would never forget the scene that day, and Xue Pan was also not forgotten. It was a great shame and shame in his life. Thinking that Xue Pan, who has Pan An in the business world, would have such an embarrassing scene, thinking that Wang Ren was made rosy in white and black in red by him that day. Pan wished that time could turn back.
As soon as he got on the boat, Wang Ren's eyes were fixed on the young man in the sky-blue gown. He came to welcome Xue Pan today to give him a surprise. Seeing Xue Pan, Wang Ren walked a few steps to Xue Pan, and was about to speak. , but saw the boy wow and spit it out.Wang Ren's clothes today were specially dressed up to welcome Xue Pan. The distance between him and Xue Pan was too close, and Xue Pan came out too suddenly.
Wang Ren had no time to dodge, he could only watch the disgusting yellow liquid appear on his clothes.Xue Pan, who vomited, felt much better. These days he ate and vomited, especially yesterday and today, Xue Pan couldn't bear it any longer. Today the boat stopped, and Xue Pan was helped out of the cabin After feeling a gust of breeze, I spit it out in a gulp.Feeling comfortable, Xue Pan raised his head and saw the strange man standing in front of him who became a scapegoat, and had a bad guess in his heart.
"Master Wang, our young master is seasick, that's why..." The maid next to Xue Pan didn't know what to say. The young master of the Wang family was too embarrassed today, and his own young master got into trouble this time.
"Seasickness, how could this happen? My cousin didn't get seasick when he was young. You two go invite Langzhong to the mansion. The carriage is already there outside. Let's go back first!" Wang Ren wanted to catch up with Xue Pan, but The disgusting smell of the fairy body after being broken, coupled with Xue Pan's bloodless face, made Wang Ren only wish to arrive at the Wang's house earlier and let Xue Pan rest earlier.
"Cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time. The first time I met you today made my cousin suffer in vain." Sitting in the carriage, Xue Pan rested for a while, looked at Wang Ren who had taken off his coat and was only wearing a white coat, and said, Xue Pan's eyes fixed on Wang Ren's face, Wang Ren changed, he was much more mature than the boy in his memory.
"Cousin, what are you talking about, but my cousin's health is better. If I know that my cousin is seasick, I will bring my doctor to pick up my cousin. Why didn't my cousin take the dry road? It would save me a lot of hard work that way." "Wang Ren said while holding Xue Pan's hands in his, looking at Xue Pan with worried eyes.
"Pan'er slept for a while, and I will wake up Pan'er when we get to the mansion." After talking to Wang Ren, Xue Pan began to feel tired.Due to the turbulence and sway on the boat these days, Xue Pan didn't get a good night's sleep. Although the carriage was also a little bumpy now, Xue Pan gradually became sleepy by Wang Ren's side.Wang Ren's eyes never left Xue Pan since the reunion, Xue Pan's exhaustion naturally couldn't escape his eyes.
"When you get to uncle's house, remember to wake me up in advance." Xue Pan closed his eyes and fell asleep. He didn't know what Xue Pan dreamed about in the dream, and the smile on his face became more and more gentle.Wang Ren was afraid that Xue Pan would be uncomfortable, so he put Xue Pan's head on his lap, half embraced Xue Pan and let the other party treat him as a pillow. It felt really good to hold Xue Pan, and the dream of so many years finally came to an end. Today, once he got his wish, Xue Pan fascinated him more than he imagined, and he was more in tune with him than he imagined.
"Master, madam, young mistress, the young master's carriage is back, and the young master of the Xue family has already picked it up." Hearing that Wang Ren went to pick up Xue Pan, Zhuyu's complexion changed, and she didn't hear that the gentleman was going to pick up the young master of the Xue family today. Well, the affairs of Xianggong Yamen are always very busy, but this time it is strange.
"Xue Pan met his uncle, his aunt, and his cousin." Before arriving at Wang's house, Wang Ren woke Xue Pan up, and saw the man in front of him staring at him with big, unfocused eyes. Wang Ren rubbed Xue Pan's hair with his hands, and when Xue Pan gave him a hard look, he smiled awkwardly, arranged Xue Pan's clothes, looked at Xue Pan carefully, got out of the carriage, and brought Xue Pan to Go to the main hall.
"Master, your coat." After Wang Ren got off the carriage, the servants of the Wang family took Wang Ren's coat and helped Wang Ren change. "Pan'er is here, I haven't seen Pan'er for so many years, how are your parents?" Wang Ziteng looked at Xue Pan who was standing with his son, and asked.
"If you go back to my uncle, my parents are very good, and my parents are also thinking about my uncle and aunt. This time, my nephew Jin Jing, my parents asked my nephew to bring some local Jinling specialties." Xue Pan said and ordered the servants around him to bring the prepared things. Bring it up.
"Cousin, it's finally here. I heard from my husband that my husband and my cousin are brothers. After seeing it today, I really understand why my cousin and my cousin are on good terms. I have already prepared my cousin's residence, and I will let him Take my cousin to see if it is suitable. If there is anything missing, my cousin will tell me, my sister-in-law. This time my cousin is here, and my husband specially ordered the mansion to prepare a cook who can cook Jinling dishes. My cousin will try it today. And my cousin's appetite, this Jinling chef is very good at cooking Jinling dishes in our capital..."
It was the first time Xue Pan saw this cousin.For this cousin, for this woman who can stand beside Wang Ren openly, although Xue Pan knew that she should not be jealous, and she should not be jealous, but for this woman with a gentle smile in front of her, Xue Pan couldn't hide her envy.
"Trouble cousin, Xue Pan's visit to Beijing this time, a cousin has caused a lot of trouble. This is a gift my mother prepared for my cousin and nephew. This bead chain is what my mother asked for me in Jing'an Temple when I was young. The one who came here was enlightened by the master, from childhood to adulthood
