Chapter 43

The family packed up, and it was almost noon when they arrived at Jia's mansion. When they came to the main gate of Jia's mansion, Xue Pan went up to hand over Xue Huan's name card.Seeing the demeanor of Xue's family, the servants of Jia's mansion didn't dare to neglect, and quickly reported.

Xue Pan still remembers that in his previous life, he went straight to Jia's mansion as soon as he arrived in the capital. After arriving at Jia's mansion, he entered through the side door. .Only in this life did I know what a shame and humiliation it was, and how many jokes I had been seen by others, that my majestic Patriarch of the Xue family would actually live in the small courtyard of Jia's mansion! !

Seeing the big airs of the Jia family now, I also feel contempt in my heart. What, an incompetent general who attacked the noble, and a small sesame official of the seventh rank, dare to call his family the Rongguo Mansion, doesn't it make people laugh? ! !

After a while, Jia Lian came out in a hurry with a few servants. He first went up to greet Xue Huan as nephew, and then exchanged greetings with Xue Pan.After exchanging pleasantries, the four members of Xue's family moved in. They seemed to be very personable, and looked like a family man, as if they had completely forgotten the unpleasant quarrel between him and Xue Pan.In this regard, he is much smarter than Wang Ren, no wonder the Jia family has not been defeated for so many years! !

Jia Lian brought Xue's father and son into the door, and the carriages of the Xue family's mother and daughter entered the Rongguo Mansion directly from the gate, and changed into a soft sedan chair carried by a strong woman at the second gate.After entering the door, they went straight into the old lady's yard. They first wanted to greet each other, and then gave up their seats. Then the old lady ordered the little girl to inform Mrs. Wang and her sisters.Jia Lian took the Xue family father and son to the study to visit the men of the Jia family, leaving the Xue family mother and daughter to stay with the old lady to meet the Xue family members.

After arriving at the study, he found Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty who had already been waiting in the study.They greeted each other and gave up their seats, and after talking for a while, Jia Zheng told the boy, "Go and urge you, Second Master Bao, why haven't you come yet!" The boy agreed, and just as he was about to leave, Jia Baoyu came in with seven or eight boys up.Seeing that Baoyu had only arrived now, and he looked so timid, compared with Xue Pan, Jia Zheng only felt a burst of anger, and shouted, "Beast, why did you arrive only now!!" After drinking like this, he became even more timid, and Jia Zheng hated iron and steel and shouted, "Hurry up and see your uncle and brother Xue!!" Jia Baoyu finally greeted him, and Xue Huan praised Baoyu politely. He also gave Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian the gifts he brought from Jinling.

In fact, although Xue Pan visited Jia's mansion several times in his life, he only met Jia Baoyu once, and he didn't talk much about it that time.One is that he didn’t stay long in Jia’s mansion, he just visited out of politeness; the other is that Jia Baoyu has been raised in a deep boudoir. Except for the first time he visited Jia’s mansion, he visited the old lady, and the other times he only visited the study Jia Zheng.

Jia Baoyu had also heard of Xue Pan's name a long time ago, and his evaluation was nothing more than a young talent, a man like a beautiful jade, and a recent Jinshi.It was the first time we met in a hurry, and he was really handsome. He had been looking forward to seeing him again, but Jia Zheng never allowed him to receive Xue Pan, and the two had different social circles, so they didn't meet again until today.He really wanted to get close to him, but he really didn't dare to be presumptuous when his father was here. In addition, Xue Pan's attitude towards him was only indifferent, and he didn't mean to be close to him, so he felt very uncomfortable.

A few people talked and talked about the imperial concubine visiting relatives. The Grand View Garden of the Jia family was under preparation, and Jia Zheng talked about his daughter with a proud attitude.In his previous life, Xue Pan was confused and didn't understand what the family representative was, but in this life, under the influence of Lin Xuan, Xue Pan understood.This visit was originally proposed by the fourth prince. The purpose of the fourth prince is very clear. One is to show favor to the aristocratic family and support them. The other is to see the strength of these big families so that they can reduce their power in the future. The third is to consume Their economic strength weakens the power of the opposition.

What's ridiculous is that no one in Jia's family saw the current situation clearly, or someone saw clearly, but they really didn't want to wake up from the dream, so they had to go with the flow.Although Xue Pan has long had the idea of ​​drawing a clear line with the four major families, but over the years, the four major families are connected with each other, and it is not easy to draw a clear line.Now that something happened in the Jia's house, it really didn't do any good to the Xue family, so they could only vaguely hint to Jia Zheng the meaning behind this family visit.

Hearing Xue Pan's suggestion, Jia Zheng frowned secretly. There is a saying that "the authorities are obsessed." I can still listen to such advice.

In fact, after hearing these words, Jia Baoyu was the most disappointed. Since seeing Xue Pan, Jia Baoyu has been completely fascinated by his demeanor. Disappointed, so even more sleepy and lack of energy.Jia Zheng listened to Xue Pan's vague hints, and turned his head to look at his own son uncomfortably. He couldn't lose his composure in front of his relatives, so he managed to suppress the anger in his heart.

Seeing Jia Zheng being disfigured by Jia Baoyu's group, and then seeing his father sitting there calmly sipping tea, and talking lightly about the romance with Jia She.Xue Pan sighed in his heart.When I was ashamed in front of others in my previous life, my father must have been so helpless!Xue Pan looked at his father with eager and guilty eyes, and at the same time decided in his heart that he must be more filial to his father and be a good son who is 24 filial.

Seeing his son's eager eyes, Xue Huan's heart was flustered. This boy is not going to lie to himself to agree to something strange again. He must be careful not to be fooled by this boy into agreeing. That's what misunderstandings are like. Make it big!

Seeing that it was past noon, Mother Jia sent a little girl out to spread the word that she wanted to stay at Xue's family for dinner. The meal had already been set in the hall, and the men were invited to the table.The old lady has already sent people to inform Uncle Zhen and Uncle Xiaorong in the East Mansion, and ask them to come and accompany her.

Xue Huan stood up and thanked the old lady for the gift, and then made some humility before going in to eat.After the meal, Jia Zheng, Jia Pardon, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, and Jia Baoyu took Xue's father and son to visit the Grand View Garden.Xue Pan had never visited the Grand View Garden in his previous life, but he only heard that it was extremely prosperous and rich.Although I knew in my heart that Jia's mansion built the Grand View Garden to maximize wealth and honor, I was still surprised when I saw the face of the Grand View Garden.

The Grand View Garden is only completed now, but the pavilions and pavilions have begun to take shape. Xue Pan secretly said in his heart, "This is courting death!" Zhongshun Palace also does not have such arrangements.

Wandering around the yard, it was getting late. After the sun went down, the cool air gradually came up. Xue Pan was worried that his father's body could not bear it, so he hinted that his father had to leave.After walking around for a long time, Xue Huan was really tired, so he bid farewell to Jia Zheng and Jia She, and let the little girl go in to pass the word, telling the concubine and the girl to get ready and leave.

After a while, the little girl came out and said, "The old lady said that she wants to stay here with my concubine and Miss Bao. Please take my aunt and master Biao to leave first." Hearing what the little girl said, Xue Huan was shocked. Isn't the wife very shrewd and capable? Why was she so brain-dead this time, and then she became angry.

My daughter is not young anymore, and the purpose of coming to Beijing this time is for her daughter's draft, so she lives in a relative's house like this, and her daughter's reputation will be lost!If you live in Wang's house, you can also say that you are going to grandma's house, what kind of thing is staying here!
