[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

"Tomorrow you are free, just come to me and tell me about the things outside." He warmly invited Xue Pan, and then turned to look at his ninth brother on Eleventh, "I just left a while ago, why are you here again today?" coming?"

"Look at my memory, I have forgotten the business. Shengjia will enter Beijing the next day. I just have some free time today, so I will come to see you. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to pick you up and return to the palace. What can I do? "

Father, mother, and old man have been away for three months. It is reasonable for a son not to pick him up, but staying in Zhuangzi and not returning to the palace is somewhat unreasonable.

Even though their old man is not worth mentioning, the two aunts must see each other.

"I don't know how to miss you along the way."

Hearing the words on Eleven, he couldn't help frowning.It is bound to go back, but this time back to the palace, I am afraid it will be difficult to come out again.

I have been living in the palace earlier, I just thought that it is similar everywhere.Now that I have left the Forbidden City, I have come to this Zhuangzi again to know what it is like outside.

"It's the Dragon Boat Festival in the next few days. Huang Ama asked the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for the festival in Changchun Garden." It can be seen that Shengjia is just going around the palace, and will drive to Changchun Garden. "If you want to come out, it will be the same when you come out again."

"That's all." Eleven glanced at Tian Guo slightly disappointed, "Go and clean up, we'll leave for the palace tomorrow."

"Zha~"

After the two brothers finished their business, Master Jiu specially called Xue Pan to talk to him in order to please Eleven.

Xue Pan always likes to make gestures while talking, and sometimes learns to hide behind a tree to peek at his black bear, and imitates the way a black bear rests on a tree trunk with both hands, looking left and right.

After learning about black bears, Xue Pan learned how to draw a bow and shoot arrows himself.

Playing two roles by one person, he also completed a hunting scene lively and lively.

Standing in a corner of the hall, Zhou Yun saw Xue Pan talking excitedly and earnestly, and couldn't help but smile faintly.

If it's someone else, maybe they still have a funny idea.This old man, he regarded the two princes as his fans.

Regardless of whether those two regarded the uncle as a person who relieved boredom and amusing, at least they also entertained their own uncle.

That's it.

Master Jiu had a good time watching it, and he was very interested in listening to it on the eleventh day.From time to time, he would ask Xue Pan a few words, which made Xue Pan speak and gesture even harder.

When the banquet was ready, the two turtledoves brought by Xue Pan also came to the table, Jiu Ye and Shi Shi called Xue Pan to the table for a drink.

It was only at this moment that Xue Pan remembered Zhou Yunlai and asked Zhou Yun to sit with him.

"This is my brother, Zhou Yun. Brother Yun, come on, I haven't introduced you yet. This is the ninth master, and this is the eleventh master."

Zhou Yun: "..." My brain hurts.

Jiu Ye: "..." The stupidity is fresh and refined.

"Zhou Yun? That's a good name." Eleventh Master glanced at Xue Pan with a look of "how can your bones be so strange", then smiled and asked Zhou Yun to come over and sit down, "it's 'Yun Gongke' Let, the light is covered by four tables, and the grid is on the top and bottom.'Yun?"

Zhou Yun clasped his fists and replied: "Returning to Eleventh Master, it is the promise of 'the calendar of the sky is in your hands, and you can hold it'."

Master Jiu couldn't deny it when he heard the words, Xue Pan looked at the mosquito coils and asked the two, what is the difference?

Regarding Xue Pan's question, both of them felt that there was no need to go into too much detail with him.

If it is too detailed, it is not to explain the old man's doubts, but purely to embarrass others.

After the topic changed with a smile, Zhou Yun didn't sit down as Xue Pan wanted, but found a reason to leave.

The uncle doesn't mind, but it doesn't mean those two don't mind.

What's more, no matter what his identity was before, in the future...he has to make it clear that it is his identity.

After Zhou Yun withdrew for a while, Master Jiu, Eleven and Xue Pan started talking again.

You can't drink alcohol on the eleventh, so Master Jiu has a few drinks with Xue Pan.The topic of the three of them also gradually changed from hunting and businessmen to some trivial household matters.

Master Jiu wanted Xue Pan to relieve Shi Shi's boredom, so naturally he was happy with Shi Shi.It was also rare to talk a lot on the eleventh day, and also ate a lot of turtledove meat during the banquet.

When a fool with a solid eye meets an eleven who is full of heart and soul, if he doesn't get drunk and needs help when walking, the host and guest will enjoy themselves.

"It's interesting." After Xue Pan left, Shi Yi said to his ninth brother with a smile on his face. "Unfortunately, I will be returning to the palace tomorrow."

It's rare for Master Jiu to see Eleven so happy, so he naturally doesn't want to dampen his interest, "After Huang Ama leaves for Changchun Garden, you can just move out."

"Even if I come, can he still live in Zhuangzi forever?"

"What's the matter?" Jiu Ye heard what Eleven said, and answered this sentence very casually.

What are their identities, and what is the identity of the Xue family.Ask him to come over to relieve boredom, that is to think highly of him.Besides, my master has worked so hard to manage the shop for the Xue family in the past few years.

Hearing this, Eleven twitched the corners of his lips, quite satisfied with his Ninth Brother's going on the road.

……

After eating the wine, Xue Pan returned to Zhuangzi and fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, he took the eleven rewards to Aunt Xue and Zuo Xi.When they heard Xue Pan say that Brother Eleven lived in the hot spring village not far away, they were surprised at first, and then they lost their minds.

Aunt Xue felt that her family was in business partnership with Master Jiu, so it was normal to see Master Jiu and his brothers.Zuo Xi, on the other hand, felt that Master Kong was so capable of giving birth. Even she, who had a shallow history, knew that Master Kong had more than twenty sons who survived.The place is so big, isn't it normal to meet him?

I opened the things that were bestowed to Xue Pan on the [-]th, and saw that they were just some useful materials and spices in the palace.Aunt Xue saw that these materials were all very bright colors, which were not suitable for her, so she asked Zuo Xi to keep them by herself.

Seeing that Aunt Xue didn't choose anything, Zuo Xi picked out a few pieces of material she liked, and told Yinger to cut a dress to wear, and asked someone to put away the rest and make arrangements later.

For a while, the team of Eleven returning to the palace passed by Xue's Zhuangzi, and Eleven stopped the carriage and asked people to go into the Zhuangzi to find Xue Pan to come out and talk.

At that time, Xue Pan was leading his horse towards the outside of Zhuangzi. When he saw Eleven and his party, he left his horse and walked over.

Zuo Xi wanted to learn horse riding on a whim, but Xue Pan volunteered to be a coach.You can teach it as you like, but if you can't see people, just leave this girl on the horse and ignore it.

Seeing that the rein dropped by Xue Pan was still dangling back and forth on the side of the horse, and the sitting filly was still kicking from time to time, Zuo Xi was even more nervous, sitting on the horse's back straight without moving. Dare to move.

"Zhou, Zhou Yun,"

Zuo Xi didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of startling the sitting horse. She was already nervous, and deliberately lowered her voice. At this time, Zhou Yun, who was some distance away from her, didn't hear her, probably the mare next to her. Couldn't hear her kitten meowing either.

Xue Pan was still talking to Eleven in the car through the car window, "...on the third day of May, on my birthday, a dragon pig was sent from the shop. My sister asked the people on the stove to feed the osmanthus for several days. , then spread a thick layer of honey and bake it..."

"Thank you for thinking about it. If the sun comes out of the palace that day, I will definitely come to bother you." Eleven looked at Zuo Xi casually, paused for a moment on Zuo Xi's trembling hand that was holding the saddle tightly, and then talked with Xue Pan said goodbye and left.

After Eleven left, Xue Pan returned to Zuo Xi. He didn't notice the little shock his sister had just received.

hum~

Zuo Xi, who was on horseback and had to bow his head, agreed with Xue Pan.Seeing Xue Pan coming, he became more courageous. He sat on the horse and called the coach who had been selected early in the morning to him, and found an excuse to replace Xue Pan from the position of coach.

Xue Pan ignorantly followed for a while, then left feeling bored.

Learning a horse is not as easy as Zuo Xi thought, and it's not as easy as knowing 'clamp the horse's belly' and 'hold the rein'.Zuo Xi studied for three or five days in a row before he could barely trot for a walk.

Ying'er didn't want to learn at first, but Zuo Xi coaxed Ying'er to study with her.After Ying'er started learning, Zuo Xi discovered that everyone was more talented than her in riding a horse.

On the other side of the capital, those who are busy visiting relatives, those who are busy celebrating the festival, and those who are busy picking up their cars, in short, everyone is busy and living life to the fullest.

Oh no, there is another one that is a little free recently.

That is Wang Ren of the Wang family.

He is a shameless bastard. When he has money, he eats wine, gambles, and goes shopping in brothels. If he has no money, he borrows money to gamble.

No, on the day Sheng Jia came back, after Wang Ren's wife was beaten up by Wang Ren, she couldn't bear this kind of dark day anymore, and hanged herself.

Wang Ziteng and Wang Ziteng were so angry that they cut off all Wang Ren's funding.Wang Ren used to be able to find Aunt Xue, who was tender and loose, for a few taels of silver, but now that he couldn't find Aunt Xue for a while, he had to turn his idea back to his own sister again.

Who is Wang Xifeng who can spoil him?

A meal of yelling and scolding, not only scolded the person away, but also completely ended the hatred.However, Wang Xifeng's grudge was nothing, so Wang Ren went to Xue's shop to play a rogue, saying that he was the cousin of the concubine Xiande, that he was the uncle of the Wang family, and that the mistress of the Xue family was his own aunt, and he went to his aunt. Why can't I get something from the shop at home.

It's not impossible, it's just that we can't give you what you want.

For example, if you come to make trouble like you, in the Xue family, you will usually be given two kicks or two punches.But since you have such an extraordinary status, I will give it to you.

It's rare for the guys in the shop to do the same thing with a tacit understanding. When Wang Ren, who was beaten up, was finally carried back by his family in a stinking ditch, he was already venting his anger. More, less air intake.

It's worth it.

Wang Ziteng and his wife were angry with Wang Ren again, and Wang Ren was also the only child of the Wang family, so they sent someone to Xue's house overnight to ask for an explanation.

None of Xue's family members were in the capital. When I asked the concierge, the concierge only said that they had gone to Beijing to check the accounts.If you ask again, you don’t know anything.Fortunately, the person from the Wang family looked wrong, so the concierge Ji Ling deliberately went back to the chief steward.

The chief steward inquired again, and then reported to Zuo Xi with a dumbfounded face.

"These guys are really too much, how can they be rough on their relatives." Zuo Xi took half a cantaloupe with seeds removed and ate it sweetly, and asked Ying'er to bring an ice bowl to the housekeeper, while smiling at him. The big steward said, "Those hands-on guys will each be given two taels of silver, and then they will be scattered into the next shop, and those who are lacking will be transferred from the next shop."

"Is it the brother of the Wang family, Madam?" The housekeeper had already guessed that Zuo Xi would have such an attitude, but he was worried that Aunt Xue would make trouble with them if she found out.

"If brother asks, just say that those guys who beat people have been kicked out. Mom, let's talk about it when we return to Beijing." Time has passed, and there is no more trouble.

"That's good, at least no one will go to the shop under the banner of relatives."

Who said no.

"By the way, everyone in the world is talking about my son's birthday and my mother's hard day. Tomorrow is my brother's birthday. Don't forget to ask someone to send some rice to the Yangsheng Tang in the name of my mother."

This is a common operation in the past few years, and the butler agreed without thinking about it.Except for Xue Pan's birthday, Zuo Xi's birthday, even Aunt Xue's birthday, Father Xue's memorial day, etc., Zuo Xi would send someone to send some old rice, miscellaneous grains, rough cloth and rags to the Yangshengtang.

Old rice and miscellaneous grains are not worth a few dollars, and no one will secretly take out such rice and sell it.Coarse cloth can be used to make clothes, rags can be patched, and a few purses can be sewed and sold.They are things that cost money to buy but are worthless to sell.

The Xue family is rich, and Zuo Xi himself is also rich. This time he came to Zhuangzi for a short stay, and even picked up a lot of stones and turned them into gold to store in the space.The ancients often said that if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world.Zuo Xi is not a holy mother, and she also believes that the world is not her responsibility, but when she can, she is still willing to help the orphans and the elderly in the Yangshengtang.

If doing good deeds can really accumulate merit, then she hopes that she will not suffer from old diseases in the future or find a medicine that can replace Lengxiang Wan...

In the past two years, Zuo Xi took several Lengxiang pills.Under the premise of only going out but not going in, everyone has to feel a sense of crisis.

The Imperial Physician has also been invited, and the famous Xinglin Sacred Hand has also asked for it, but unfortunately either it cannot cure his life, or he cannot make a substitute for Lengxiang Wan.

Now, she can only hope for the karma theory she believes in.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

The third day of May.

Zuo Xi went to celebrate Xue Pan's birthday early in the morning and presented him with a sachet and purse made by himself.After that, Xue Pan led Zuo Xi to kowtow to Aunt Xue, and then bowed to his wet nurse before sitting down to have breakfast.

After breakfast, the servants of the whole family and the tenants of the Zhuangzi ran over to kowtow to Xue Pan to celebrate his birthday.Zuo Xi asked someone to carry two large baskets of copper coins to distribute to these people, and distributed some candy bought earlier to the children in the village.

Since breakfast was late, I planned to eat lunch later.

I don't want to think that it's almost time for lunch, but Brother Eleven came to the door with a few close palace servants.

Xue Pan had long forgotten that he had invited Elder Brother Eleven a few days ago, and now he slapped his forehead when he saw someone coming to the door, and asked someone to go inside to talk to Aunt Xue and Zuo Xi, while Go to the gate to meet Eleven in person.

"Yesterday I just passed by Jiuye's Zhuangzi, and I haven't seen you back yet." He smiled and went up to meet Eleven, while clasping fists at Eleven, he asked loudly when Eleven would leave the palace.

"I've been thinking about that roasted pig you mentioned. Seeing that I'm so greedy, Erniang let me out to find you."

"Then you are in luck. My sister asked someone to prepare it early in the morning."

Eleven smiled deeper when he heard that, and after entering Zhuangzi with Xue Pan, he said gently and modestly that he should greet Aunt Xue.

Hearing this, Zhou Yun on the side turned his head and looked over.

The master wants to greet the slave?
