Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

Habits are weird enough, and he doesn't like being touched by others at all, let alone the things he can do by himself, let his servants serve him.I heard that Xie got married last year and even had a child. I don't know how he lived at home in the capital. Could it be that this is the situation, the fifth prince and concubine can bear it?

Xi wanted Xue Pan to go out, but looked at the other party as if I wanted to help, thinking that the back would really be out of reach, compared to asking Yin Xi or someone to apply the medicine, he was less against Xue Pan touch.Xie started to wipe his legs silently, applied the ointment, then half took off his shirt, and handed the bottle to Xue Pan, "I'm sorry."

I can't tell from such a confident tone that you mean to trouble others in the slightest.Xue Pan made a rare complaint in his heart, and gently applied the ointment to the bruises on his back. Seeing those large bruises again, Xue Pan still showed unbearable eyes. As a result of being rushed forward by the water, maybe this person will disappear in this world.

In this era, it would be a pity if I didn't even have the chance to meet this strange person in front of me.At this time, Xue Pan was far from expecting that they would have a close relationship with each other afterwards.

Xie would be surprised if he knew what was going on in Xue Pan's mind, because before this, he felt that his behavior was incapable of intimacy, and everything could be accommodated in the high wall, whether it was harboring evil intentions or fighting openly and secretly. Except for the same thing, don't move your heart, so it is strange in the eyes of everyone to have a heart. He can only use facial paralysis and taciturnity to isolate him from the fundamental incompatibility of that world.

Therefore, the scene where Xue Pan was curious about how he got along with the fifth imperial concubine was not necessary at all.

In the capital, the fifth prince's mansion, the letter declaring safety was finally delivered.The fifth imperial concubine looked at the letter, her hands were trembling. Fortunately, God blesses her, Yangzhou is fine, and she can finally sleep peacefully today. "Prince Concubine, the prince is awake, do you want to go over and have a look, and tell the prince that the fifth master is safe and sound." After hearing the news of the safety, the nurse on the other side also let go of the hanging heart No matter whether Xie has just entered the court or not, whether he has any right to speak in the court, as long as the master in the mansion has nothing to do, this alone will finally let everyone in the fifth prince's mansion find their backbone again.

The fifth prince and concubine paused, "No, Shizi is still young, he doesn't understand these things, so don't let the people in the house quarrel with him." After saying that, she went back to the inner room.Looking at the fifth prince and concubine like this, Mammy can only shake her head in her heart. This is the marriage of the heirs of the Tian family, and there is no warmth at all. When it comes to the fifth prince, it is even more deserted.Except for the night in the bridal chamber, the fifth prince never entered the room of the prince and concubine. No one in the palace cares about this matter. The biological mother died early, and the adoptive mother died later. The news also made the emperor feel relieved. Finally, the fifth prince already has an heir, so that's all.

The fifth concubine was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, staring blankly at herself in the bronze mirror. The situation in Yangzhou has been brought under control, but the joy of receiving the letter just now was not for the slightest, but for another person. Xie is fine, does that mean that person will be safe and well.

A thought of origin, but also a thought of evil, in the shocking side of cardamom's youth, let that person stay in my heart, I thought it would be a good match, but I didn't expect that I would marry into the royal family.

Thinking about the child conceived on the night of the bridal chamber, I really can't like it, does this mean a betrayal of my heart. "Ahem——" The Fifth Prince coughed vigorously, and her health gradually deteriorated even after giving birth.A heart disease needs a heart medicine doctor, and her heart medicine is Jiangnan Misty Rain, who can never go back and get it.

26 Doucao students are happy

Xie is not in the mood to care about who the fifth concubine cares about. Now that they are married, whether the other party is ruthless or he has no intentions, there is no need to repent of this matter. Compared with those who cannot travel freely The fifth concubine, Xie felt that it was a kind of luck to be born a man.

And what he can do is to be kind to his children, and not to let his son repeat the path he has traveled.But sometimes Xie would also think, if the child is exposed to the warmth that does not belong to the Tian family, will his heart soften in the future and he will not be able to survive in the cold royal family.In any case, now that his son is still young, he can take good care of him, so he has already decided to take care of him as his eldest son, and the people who take care of his son are all his own people.

When the wire report from Fuzhong was delivered to Xun Shi, he just kept silent for a while, and then put it away.If his wife just thinks about the past in her heart and doesn't want to face the present, then so be it.People need to be fair, and they haven't paid a single bit, so why should they ask others?But I don't know that my own thoughts are so deviant by the standards of this era.

This day Song Quan came back from Suzhou. Some time ago, Lin Hai asked him to go over and give advice on Lin Yu's studies, so that Lin Yu could enter the most famous lakeside academy in the south of the Yangtze River for the exam. Lin Hai was going to teach in person, but the result was out. The whole of Jiangnan was involved in Yangzhou's affairs, so he would not be free, so Lin Yu would come to Jinling to relax for two days before the academy started, and then he would formally enroll.

But when he saw Xie at Xue's house, Song Quan was taken aback. He heard that the fifth prince was injured here, but he didn't expect that the one who saved him was his good apprentice, and he was still thinking about how to call Xie Hao. , I heard him say, "Mr. Song, it is fate to meet you in Jiangnan. I only knew that you accepted him as a disciple after hearing from Qiuping. I still feel grateful for the teachings of Mr. Back then." Ping is Xue Pan's surname.

Song Quan stroked his beard, waved his hand and said no, "You are welcome, Fifth Master. I was your teacher at that time, and I should teach and educate people. Now that the old man has disarmed Ding You, I don't want to rely on the shallow teacher-student relationship between you and me. It's God's will to meet again." This is about more than ten years ago, Song Quan was the teacher of the fourth and fifth princes for a few months, but after the fourth prince passed away, the emperor also let Song Quan join in. Ministry of punishment.In the blink of an eye for more than ten years, the Xun in front of him no longer has the appearance of Xiao Douding back then, but there are still traces of this stern face. "Fifth Master also survived the disaster this time, and it will surely turn around in the future."

"Then I'll borrow Mr.'s auspicious words. I wonder if I can be called Sambo again?" Xie was talking about a joke from back then. At that time, he and his fourth brother were young and had no words. Song Quan taught them one day. Regarding the knowledge about tea, when it comes to the other names of tea, he chose Senbo, while the fourth brother chose Cangbi, as an interesting talk about the word.Now that the old times are brought up again, it is because Xun is determined to get closer to Song Quan.

Song Quan, however, was reminded of the past by this title. When he was a child, he already had the word "senbo" that he chose himself. Senran' feeling.But the fourth prince who chose Cang Bi, the tribute tea venerable, left early. Could it be that the favor was too great to be suppressed.This was the thought of a second thought, but Song Quan yelled obediently, "Sen Bo, this really feels like nostalgia, the old man only dared to yell in Jinling." When they returned to the right and wrong place in the capital, they all It's not just Song Quan and Xie Ye, they can't have such close titles.

"Sir, your whispers are over." After Xue Pan took Lin Yu to greet Xue's father and Xue's mother, he returned to his yard and introduced Lin Yu to Xie Shi. "This is Mr. Xi Wu, from the capital. This is Lin Yu, the son of Uncle Lin Hai."

"Hello, Mr. Xi Wu, young Lin Yu." Lin Yu had already heard Xue Pan vaguely mentioned that this person's status is probably not low, but Xue Pan did not directly say whether Xi was the prince. People in this era treat the royal family always Too much respect, people like him and the teacher are rare.

"En, hello." As usual, Xie didn't say much, he heard that the Lin family had adopted an adopted son in Beijing, and now it seems that he is in the same vein as Lin Hai, I hope he is a good one.It was Lin Hai, who was a pure minister of his father, and it was a good thing to have him in Jiangnan.

"Okay, everyone has gotten to know each other. This time I'm going out for an outing, so you don't need to be courteous to each other. We happen to have four people today, and it's also a time when we can play fighting grass. Didn't Pan'er look at it last time? Do you want to find some games outside of schoolwork? This season is the time to go to Doucao." Song Quan played the role of the head of the family, and took these teenagers of different ages to visit Quchuyuan, where there is a It is a place suitable for visiting in all seasons, and there are many flowers.

"Fighting grass?" Xie has never played with this thing, but watched the little eunuchs play with the little maids in the palace. They just found a few grasses to compare their toughness, to see which one's grass would break first , is lost.I also know that this is the simplest way, far from the poem saying that fighting grass and getting pearls, it requires considerable literary knowledge.

"Haven't Fifth Brother ever played? There is no distinction between flowers and plants, as long as the one who can match the most names wins. Bai Juyi has already said, stroke the dust and fight the weeds, play and play all day long. We have to try." Xue Pan saw the confusion in Xun's eyes. I'm afraid he has never played such an interesting thing, and he also wanted to pull Xun to try a different life and leave some relaxing memories.It's not deserted with red walls and palace locks.

At this time, Xue Pan didn't think too much at all. In his opinion, Xie Shi's temperament is not suitable for the throne. That kind of deep tenderness may be rare, but if he doesn't have strong strength on the throne, it will be difficult. It will kill him.

Although Xue Pan already has a macroscopic understanding of the overall situation in the court, in his opinion, the eldest prince in the position of prince is extremely difficult to do. Since ancient times, there are very few princes who have ended well, and the remaining The emperor doesn't have any preference for the prince, if there is one, he will give more preference to the three of six, seven and eight.

The two of them did not expect that the dispute between you and the world that changed the wheel of history began in this early summer, and the trigger was the heavy rain in Yangzhou. Several forces were dragged in, and unintentional people who originally wanted to leave the mortal world were involved, which turned the world upside down.

After the general situation was settled, Xue Pan thought of himself in the past, and felt that maybe at that time, he began to feel that Xun was different from ordinary people, and pity and wishing for a person's good memories were also the beginning of love.

"Cousin Pan, can you let me come first?" Although Lin Yu met Xue Pan for the first time, they had been communicating with Xue Pan for a long time, and they were very familiar with Xue Pan, so they dared to say jokingly said this sentence.

Xue Pan didn't want to take advantage of the simple one who said it first, but he should come first if he said anything. "Don't you start with the youngest one? Cousin Yu, but you can't even fight over the order of the children."

"That's right, but this time, it's just to let me relax before entering school. Shouldn't my cousin be a landlord?" Lin Yu said teasingly, but it made the atmosphere lively.

"Okay, okay, Pan'er, I'm pretending to be a child at this time, let Brother Yu go first, Senbo, do you have any objections?" Song Quan made up his mind not to let the two cousins ​​continue to mess around , and asked Xun Shi, who made his identity special.

Xie just shook his head, so he had no objection, such a natural atmosphere is of course good.

"Zelan is called Shuixiang." Lin Yu pointed to a bluegrass in the yard, "I have Shuixiang."

"The mountain from the south should be spicy." Xue Pan puts the mountain to the water, and the spiciness of the five flavors to the fragrance. It is another name for making mountain spicy and Sannai. "The valley in Guizhou is waiting for the grass, what do you think, fifth brother?"

Xun pointed to a rose flower, "Wandering flowers bloom quietly in the corner of the court." This is absolutely true. Facing the unpredictable wandering with the fear of leaning against the door, he thought for a while, "Continuing to break and connect the bones will connect the bones." .”

"This is a bit interesting. Jiegu is another name for Dipsac. This herb has the effect of nourishing kidney qi, and bone belongs to kidney water." Song Quan thought for a while before saying, "For me, I will use a pair of tendons."

"Mr.'s is good. The tendons face the bones, butt joints. It's an alias for 'dog spine'. It has the same medicinal effect, and the tendons belong to liver wood, which happens to be the same as water and wood."

Doucao on the side of the few people was having fun, and Huan Chang, who was focused on catching the criminal behind the scenes, didn't have much time to think, and the prince was in the worst mood.

"Crack!" The prince raised the cup in his hand, and wanted to throw it viciously at the man kneeling on the ground. It would be best to kill this idiot, but halfway through, his hand turned a corner. , threw the cup in front of the man's knee, but he still had to bear it, not too much.The prince took a deep breath, so that he could not ask in such a ferocious tone, "You mean the matter in Yangzhou, they didn't do it cleanly? Who patted his chest to ensure that there would be no problem. Even if Li Ming crawled out of the ground, it was the same. There is no evidence? You are right! It can’t be because I am old and confused!”

The man quickly shook his head fiercely, "The prince is not old, not at all! This is all the fault of the humble position, and the third prince found out the clues. Originally, this matter could be pushed to Li Ming, it was him. It was buried in the soil, and the charges were all his, but I didn't think that the account books there were still revised. No, just because the third prince checked the accounts of those merchants, there may be mistakes. A few years ago, the grain merchants were disposed of because they did not cooperate with our operation. It’s just that people like the Xue family and the Zhen family are not able to deal with it. Manipulative, the emperor will definitely find out, not to mention the four princes and eight princes are secretly related."

"It's up to you to teach me. What did you do earlier? At the end of last year, I said that this matter should be settled quickly and those dams should be repaired. If they were more agile at that time, they would Didn’t there happen to be a breach of the dam? You should be glad that my fifth younger brother came back alive this time, otherwise, what would happen to the emperor’s temper, you don’t know?”

The man's body trembled even more. In the eyes of the emperor, the majesty of the Tian family must never be violated. Fortunately, the fifth prince was rescued, but their arrangement in Lianghuai for more than ten years was also messed up. "Prince, I just feel sorry for the humble job. It was arranged for more than ten years, and it was messed up by the third prince and Liu Yu just like that."

The crown prince turned his back, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. It was impossible for the third brother to intervene in what he couldn't get. Now he could only retreat and let the emperor regain full control over there.Then there is only one person, Lin Hai, the prefect of Suzhou.I heard that he has adopted an adopted son. Is the relationship between adoptive father and son separated by a layer, but I don't know if it can be used for his own use.

27 Doubt is buried at this moment

Lin Yu, who has been numbered by the crown prince, has returned to Suzhou and started to study at school.He himself is very satisfied with his current life, and the Lin family really accepts him, except that there is always a trace of incomprehensible meaning in the eyes of Nanny Qiu looking at him, he also knows that the Jia family and the Lin family are not so peaceful.

Xie Chang just found out a big problem, and the matter behind it pointed directly at the capital. He looked at the account in front of him. It would be a big gain to get the direct evidence from the prince's subordinates this time, but after handing over this thing The two Huaihe Rivers are bound to be reshuffled, and how likely is it to insert yourself into it?After pulling aside the candidates in his heart, he still has someone who can be used here, but unfortunately that person is no longer in the officialdom, "Go and send a message to Master Zhen, saying that I am waiting for him at the old place."

Xie Chang changed into casual clothes, took only one guard, and went to Wangyuelou, which was a restaurant of the Zhen family, but it was very hidden. He only found familiar customers and opened the door of the private room. The current owner of the Zhen family The head of the family is already waiting, "Third Master, I haven't seen you for many years, but it's getting clearer."

"It's been five years since the old man's complexion is good. I think the past few years in the south of the Yangtze River have been pretty good."

"Hehe, the old man is just messing around, so of course he can't be compared with the third master. Since the little girl left, it's hard to feel the filial piety of this child." After saying that, he shook his head and invited Xie Chang to sit down.

"Yeah, Ling Qianjin also doesn't have that fate. I don't want to marry so soon in the capital. It's also because I failed to fulfill your entrustment. Thinking about it so far, I also feel quite guilty. As a sister, I also heard from her that she would burn a Buddhist scripture for the old sisters, hoping to live a good life in the next life."

Here, before the new year, the daughter of the Zhen family married to the servant of the Ministry of War in the capital as a daughter-in-law. Master Zhen also entrusted the third concubine to take care of her for a while, but he didn't want her body to be unsuitable for the northern weather, so she died early. It was only because of the care of the third prince and concubine that the third prince and the Zhen family secretly had a good relationship.

"Everything is fate. It's because the little girl doesn't have that blessing. Otherwise, it would not be smooth sailing to be taken care of by the nobleman. Let's not mention the past. I haven't greeted the third master yet. This time I came to Yangzhou and suffered."

"It's not suffering. It's also about being loyal to the father and solving problems for him. It's nothing to suffer from floods. Master Zhen saw the refugees at the gate of the city in the past two days. The dam incident is very bad. It has left so many people helpless." You can go home, and now Mr. Liu Yu is too busy with disaster relief."

"Third Lord, I also care about the common people. During this flood, we also have to contribute. Donating some food is the most practical thing right now. I heard that the Xue family also donated a lot of food to the government. It’s on the porridge, so that the displaced people can’t even take a sip of hot porridge.”

The words of the two of them clarified the current situation here, and Xie Chang suddenly thought of something, "This time my third brother was also rescued by Xue's family. This is really not only the people who want to thank his family for their donation, but I also want to thank him. Theirs. I wonder if Master Zhen is familiar with the Xue family?"

A gleam of light flashed in Master Zhen's eyes, but he seemed to have nothing, "Although we are both in Lianghuai, but the Xue family is in business, we don't have much communication, but we are closer to the Jia family in the capital. He paused for a while, and continued, "But after all, everyone is still close, even if they are really far away, why does the third master want to get acquainted?"

Xie just smiled lightly, "I just want to express my gratitude. It's a good thing they saved the third brother." He could hear the alienation from Xue's family in Master Zhen's words, which may be because Xue The family is the only one of the four big families that is engaged in business. Although it is impossible to do anything without money, it is because of this smell that people are far away.And here Xie Chang would not let go of a possibility, he heard that Song Quan had a good relationship with the Xue family in Jinling, "But I heard that Song Quan had contact with the Xue family?"

"It's not a secret. Mr. Song likes rare things, and the Xue family has all kinds of good things from all over the world, so we got close to each other." Master Zhen didn't know that Xue Pan was Song Quan's disciple, Xue Pan He wouldn't make a fuss about this matter all over the world. After all, he hasn't passed the provincial examination yet, and there are only a few people who know his talents.It's also because no one cares much about a child in the imperial merchant's family. In the established thinking, Xue Pan is just a child who has been sick since childhood.

Xie Chang thought about it one step further, is this really the case?In the old days, Song Quan and his fifth younger brother also had a short-term teacher-student relationship, but now they are connected again.However, after thinking about it again, Song Quan is very strange, and he is not an indispensable figure to his father, otherwise why Ding You was not robbed of his love and stayed in Beijing.

This end still wants to go to Xue's house to take a look. After all, the matter in his hands has come to an end, and it is not good to say that he has not visited the fifth brother. "Master Zhen, Fifth Brother is still in Jinling. I will go to see him today. I don't know if he has recovered from his illness. Father in the capital must be thinking about it."

Master Zhen nodded, he knew that the emperor wanted to see the scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other, "Third Master, I can't keep you, and Fifth Master's body is more important, you also take me to do your best, speaking of it It's not that I'm busy, I'll definitely go to Jinling and visit it myself."

But it was because Xie had no power in the court, and the emperor didn't see too much emphasis on it, so Mr. Zhen would not go there in person. The favor of the Zhen family is not something a prince who has just entered the court can afford.He didn't bother to meet this cold fifth prince.

****

"So that's what happened at that time."

After those few days of playing together, the relationship between Xue Pan and Xie Shi has become even closer. It may be fate from heaven. Minding the other party's cold face, a person who does not underestimate the other party's age is also very capable of chatting.

Here Xue Pan asked what happened when the embankment was washed away. Xie basically told Xue Pan about the experience of coming to the south of the Yangtze River except for the specific account details, but Xue Pan understood the truth behind it. It seems that the third prince Xie Chang is not a simple person. "Then your third brother will also come here to see you."

Xun frowned, he didn't want the third brother to come to Xue's house, for some reason he didn't want anyone to disturb the peace here, and he didn't want others to know Xue Pan's talents prematurely, maybe it was because he didn't want Xun Chang Having revealed his own identity, Xue Pan became separated from him, "Maybe, if the work in Yangzhou is over."

Xue Pan saw Xie Shi's impatience, and he himself did not want to receive the third prince. If he wanted to say the reason, it would be a terrible guess.

Xue Pan has never read the original book of the Red Chamber, but only heard the outline. He knows that it should be more than ten years after the incident happened before there was Brother Bao and Sister Lin, and they are all gone now.At that time, the new emperor ascended the throne, and when the overlord passed away, there were still descriptions of one or two princes.

In connection with the current court situation, the situation of the princes is not good, they are all in their forties and have not yet ascended the throne at this age, and the second prince is out of tune, and the fourth prince died early, and he is still too young to tell .But after more than ten years, apart from the prince, there are only four people who are in harmony with each other in age, and besides the second prince who is not in tune, who is the same as the one in front of him, so the original fate The new emperor is one of the third and sixth princes.It has to be said that it seems that Mrs. Wang's daughter is married to the new emperor, but it is still difficult to judge because of Yuanchun's age.

However, just such an inference has already caused cold sweat to break out on Xue Pan's back, because there is no doubt that in this flood in Yangzhou, he saved Xun who might have died. The Xue family all stood on Xun Shi's boat, and Xun Chang, who caused Xun Shi's suffering, had no direct cause and was inseparable from the relationship, so it is impossible for him and Xun Chang to be compatible.

This is a huge deviation from the original setting. Xue Pan has not forgotten that in this life he still wants to subtly change the destiny of this country, and even the destiny of this era.

However, fate played a big joke on him. The people he rescued with his own hands are the biggest variable. I still have an unpleasant impression, thinking that the end of the Xue family is inherent in its own decline, but is there really no hidden secret?In the early years, he felt that the Xue family still had secrets.If the third prince ascends the throne, not to mention his ambition, will he be able to preserve the Xue family?

If he made a mistake from the beginning of the bet, how should Xue Pan come back? Perhaps the only way is to make the person in front of him a person above ten thousand people.But he was still hesitating in his heart, no matter what, he didn't want to see the third prince, he was afraid of changing something or revealing something.

"I'll go back to Yangzhou first." Xie said decisively, "How can my brother let my brother come to visit? My illness is also cured, the ointment is very effective, and now the bruises have disappeared It’s over.” It’s just that I can’t stay in this place where I feel comfortable, with Xue Pan, a very interesting person, for a while longer.

"Fifth Brother..." Xue Pan knew that this was the best and most direct method.Here, Xue Pan thought of a word that was not very appropriate but was in harmony with his mind. Between him and Xie Shi, it was that "when the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world", but now it is that "if the two loves last forever" How can it be day and night at this time.

Leaving aside some absurd thoughts, Xue Pan just regretted not being able to spend a few more days with the like-minded Xun Shi, thinking about the future and not knowing when they would see each other again, he felt extremely reluctant.

"In the future, when you come to the capital for scientific research, I will definitely sweep the couch to welcome you." Xie rarely showed melancholy, "It won't be long, right?"

Xue Pan laughed instead, "It won't be long, maybe I will go to the capital to visit relatives, you know that Wang's family is my mother's natal family, and Jia's family who likes to live a lively life because of their relatives is also there. "

Xie touched Xue Pan's head, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth. He knew that the relationship between Xue Pan and those two families was somewhat mysterious, and he didn't need to find such an excuse for Ru Jing, "I'll wait for you, and don't forget To bring Miner something new."

"Okay, I won't forget to bring a gift for Xiao Shizi."

Just when Xie rushed back to Yangzhou, Xie Chang, who was about to set off, was blocked by the prince's actions. I don't know if it was God's will, but Xue Pan and Xie Chang were separated from each other. It is possible to meet here.It's just that mutual suspicion has been buried.
