Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

No matter what Father Xue thinks about Jia's family, this relative's family is always going to visit.After handing over the post and setting a time, Xue's father and Xue's mother went to Jia's house and entered the side door. Xue's father and Xue's mother first went to visit Jia's mother together, and then Xue's mother went to the back house to meet Mrs. Wang But among the men in the mansion, Jia Amnesty went to some Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and Jia Zheng was still in the yamen and did not come back, so Mother Jia asked Jia Lian and Jia Zhu to come and talk to Father Xue.

"Say hello to grandma and uncle." Jia Lian and Jia Lian went to the main hall together. When Jia Mu waited for the two to come, she said to several people with a smile, "his uncle, you haven't met them for a long time. You are talking about the last time you met." It was seven or eight years ago."

When Xue's father went to Beijing alone to do business, he would not rush to Jia's mansion. At most, he would give Jia's mother a gift, which could be regarded as a courtesy among relatives. Jia's mother said this before Xue Pan It's about time. "In a blink of an eye, they are all so grown up, and they look more and more handsome. Brother Zhu is going to get married next year, and the days go by so fast."

Jia Zhu was still a little embarrassed when she heard Father Xue talking about the wedding, so she wanted to change the subject, "Uncle Xue, I heard that this time I brought my second sister Xue to Beijing for consultation. clue."

Father Xue could hear the concern in Jia Zhu's tone, and took a rare deep look at him. This is something that relatives should care about. He chatted with Jia Mu for several times, all talking about what happened to Jinling recently. That's it, the old man hasn't had time to mention Baochai yet.Heh, I guess I don't have such a thing in my heart. "Look at me, I'm really confused when I'm old. Girl Baochai's illness has improved a bit. It sounds like you have hired an imperial doctor. Is there any good news after half a month? I just read a few more times for her. The scriptures have been read."

"Old lady, I don't dare to do that. Please worry about Baochai. I said how her health is getting better recently. It turns out that the Bodhisattva listened to your scriptures and got Zefu. Or the old birthday star is very kind to children. Your concern is the best. We have several big families, but you are the only one who has the longest blessing." Father Xue did not believe in the chanting of scriptures from the bottom of his heart, but Mother Jia likes to listen to good things. In fact, everyone likes to listen to good things. He just said a few words without losing a piece of meat.

"You are used to talking good things, and I don't know who you followed." Mother Jia smiled even more heartily when she heard that, "Baochai girl is getting better slowly, and you can breathe a sigh of relief. It's brother Pan, and girl Baochai. It's not easy being a parent. Okay, okay, you three go to the side and chat. Brother Lian and Brother Zhu haven't been out of the capital yet. , tell them about the outside world."

Father Xue made a bow to Mother Jia, and went to drink tea in the side hall with Jia Lian and Jia Zhu.

When Father Xue and Mother Xue returned to Xue's residence at night, they first went to see Baochai. As Father Xue said earlier, the old imperial doctor prescribed a prescription after seeing it. It was because of the 'cold' solar term, and after eating it for half a month, it really got better. Maybe after spending the New Year here, it will be cured.The husband and wife went back to their room and talked about their conversation at Jia's house.

"Master, I met girl Yuanchun today. She is calm and sensible. She is so stable at this age. It doesn't seem like my sister can teach her." Mother Xue thought about the girl who was younger than Xue Pan. In Yuanchun, Duan had the tranquility of an adult, and felt that her life would be good in the future.It's just that this daughter was raised too naively, and she was afraid that she would suffer losses if she became a daughter-in-law in someone else's house, but if she was too sensible, she would lose her own fun.

"Really? Brother Zhu is pretty good, and his talent should be rare in the Jia family. I heard that after the New Year's wedding, he will take the exam. Seeing how he usually works hard, there may be no problem. It just seems to be a little too tight to myself, and I don’t know if it’s because I saw the things in Jia’s house. Brother Lian was a bit weak in his studies, but he liked me to talk about doing business in the south and sea, but he was after all. He is the eldest son of the big house."

Father Xue has a good impression of Jia Zhu, and thinks he is really a good bamboo shoot.It's just that Jia Lian doesn't look like he can take big ideas in the future. I don't know when another big lady will enter the mansion now, but what will happen to his day?Just saying that Mother Jia is kind to the second room, even a person who doesn't know him often can see that it is unreasonable to surpass the eldest son and give the second son a title.Unless something big happened to Dafang.

"Yeah, I also met him once, but he is a kind-hearted kid. I don't know why he is more comfortable than Yuanchun. My sister also likes his hard work, and I hope he can do it in the next year. In the exam, I won the championship in one fell swoop. I am just worried, don't give the child too much burden."

Father Xue imagined Mrs. Wang's appearance, but shook his head, "Each family has its own experience, and it's beyond our control."

Xue's father and Xue's mother went to the Wang's house the day after tomorrow, and saw Wang Ziteng, who seemed a serious person, and only smiled at Xue's mother. He came back to report on his duties again, and he didn't stay with Father Xue any longer. He just said that he would walk around more in the future. It's rare that everyone is in the capital.

Just a few days later, a young servant in Jia's house fell into the water and died. This made Jia's mother's mood to welcome the New Year drop again. Last time it was Mrs. Zhang, and this time another servant came. Pause?He ordered his subordinates to add an extra amount of money to bury this man quickly and live a stable year.

*****

"Father and mother, you are finally home. My son is already a year older." Hearing the butler's notification, Xue Pan hurried to the door to pick up Xue's father and the three of them.After staying in the capital for a year, Baochai really recovered from his illness. After the cold wind in the deep winter, the three of them bid farewell to the capital, went south along the waterway, and hurried back to Jinling.When Xue Pan saw them again, it was already early April.

"That's right, Pan'er has grown quite a bit all of a sudden." Xue's mother also misses her son. She hasn't left Jinling for such a long time. When she stepped into the house, she felt relaxed. good."

"How is my sister? The letter said that she was cured. What's the specific situation?" Xue Pan watched as Mammy carried Baochai back to the house. When she got home, she was sleeping.

Father Xue stroked his beard. Although there was tiredness in his eyes, he couldn't hide his joy at Baochai's recovery, "But it's all over! That imperial physician is really amazing in this regard. The root cause of the disease has not been left behind, you Sister, I will definitely grow fat and white in the future."

This sentence caused Xue Pan to drop three black lines in an instant. It is fine for her daughter's family to be clean. Is it really okay to be fat? Now it is not as good as it was in the Tang Dynasty.But he knew that this was Father Xue's joy, because when Baochai fever broke out, his appetite was very poor.

"Father and mother are also tired, let's eat first, and talk about other things later."

After dinner, Father Xue and Xue Pan went to the study and talked about a series of things that happened in the past six months.

"Haier sent a glass tea set to Brother Wu, and he wrote back later, saying that the sage also thought it was good, and he also said that he should learn more from Mr. Song. The matter about Jia's family is also from Brother Song. It was revealed to me." Xue Pan was talking about a letter from Xunshi who came a year ago, and most of it was talking about the scenery of the capital, but at the end, he said that he dedicated the glass pot to his father. Huang, the old man still has a good feeling for Pan'er, let him learn from Mr. Song.

Father Xue lost his expression when he heard this, brewed tea and was silent for a while. After a long pause, he looked at Xue Pan, "Pan'er, the most obedient one in the Xue family will always be the Holy One."

"Father, of course I know that we are only loyal to the emperor." Xue Pan knew that Father Xue was opposed to standing in line, but now he had no choice but to act, "But we have already saved Fifth Brother, so what should we do next? Far or near, it falls into the mouth of others."

Father Xue sighed, it was also God's will, but he got involved in such a dispute for the crown prince that some people can't avoid, let alone what would happen if he didn't save Xie at that time, if the emperor found out that they failed to save his son , I'm afraid it's even worse.The point is that Pan'er is going to be an official in the future, the Xue family has no reliable friends in the court, Song Quan is Pan'er's master and he is good to him, but he is a veteran after all.The Lin family seems to be close, but the Jiangnan area is a crater, and I don't know if Lin Hai can hold it down.But the Wang family still didn't mention it.

"What do you think?" Father Xue asked Xue Pan's opinion. In his eyes, his child's eyesight has long surpassed that of many ordinary people. It's just that wisdom will hurt, and he doesn't know what it will be like in the future. .

If Xie Shi is still Xie Shi, then it must be beneficial for him to inherit.The calculations in Xue Pan's mind have never stopped. He has always hoped that with a strong support, he can let go of his hands and feet to work. Xie is a person who has a deep heart, dares to innovate, and opens his eyes to see the world. The key is that he is not a weak person, but a firm-minded person. "The fifth brother is probably the most suitable one at this time."

Father Xue looked at Xue Pan's affirmative expression, and finally nodded, "There are not many things that my father can help you with in the officialdom, but I also know from the Qibaozhai incident that the Xue family is not willing to fight. , has been regarded as a thorn in the side, and money makes people envious. The matter of this glass pot has made Xue's family even more popular. I know that there will be many such things in the future, so you still have to be careful. "

As soon as the voice fell, the person on the dragon chair slammed the cup hard. "What you have investigated is already true? The Zhen family's hand is so long!"

Although the kneeling man in black had no expression on his face, he was still bearing the great anger of the emperor, "Back to the emperor, half of the medicine stolen from the imperial hospital four years ago went to nowhere, and half of it was in Zhen's house." The spies found out.

The emperor took a deep breath, what a Zhen family, it must be the boss of the Zhen family who did it, luckily they were the ones who received me when I went to the south of the Yangtze River, and dared to put my hand into the palace, the one who stole it was the secret Medicine, if it is used by someone, it will be fine, it is not something that can be seen all at once. "Do you know who he is planning to use!"

The tone of the secret guard trembled subconsciously, "The Zhen family's business failed this time, and later everyone said that the Shanhai Pavilion of the Xue family was the leader. They invented new things, and others just followed behind. Picking up people's teeth. Qibaozhai wants to dominate things, but he can't do it."

"So, this is for Boss Xue. This is my old minister!" The emperor closed his eyes. Back then, the Zhen family could be regarded as his nanny's family, but now it has been involved in his son's affairs Forget it, the last thing he will allow is to secretly assassinate, and when you open it again, you already have killing intent, "Since he likes it so much, why not let him be fulfilled."
