Mrs. Wang looked at the back of Xue's mother leaving, and she was so angry that she still had to look very reserved. She looked at Xue's father and Xue Pan who stayed behind, and said pointedly, " Brother-in-law, Brother Pan, don't mind, my sister has a bit of a temper, maybe my sister misunderstood me, I don't mind."

"Second Madam, it's true that you misunderstood." Father Xue was choking when he spoke, and there was no trace of shame on his face.What's wrong with Mother Xue's temper? It would be better if she kicked the chair over just now. "Pan'er's mother just feels bad. It seems that we have really had separate births these years. It stands to reason that you are her sister. How can you not remember? Back then, Pan'er was seriously ill, and it was hard to get it back from the King of Hades. The Taoist priest must have warned that Pan'er can't get close to women before Erli, let alone get married. This matter made Pan'er's mother sigh secretly, and she was very entangled when she knew it. I went to the letter. It seems that you don't remember?"

Mrs. Wang was stunned on the spot, she didn't remember this incident at all!How could such a thing happen, and then she looked at Xue Pan with a little sympathy but also suspicion, who smiled wryly, "My aunt's kindness is appreciated by my nephew, but it's God's will to do so. Mother is also in a hurry, She is angry in her heart. You must not have forgotten it, but you think that your nephew is already in good health. Just yesterday, the abbot of Dajue Temple made a fortune for your nephew, and it is even more affirmed. Auntie does not need to I'm just worrying, it's just following God's will."

Mrs. Wang was blindfolded and was speechless. In this way, what are the people jumping up and down in the capital doing? They fancy Xue Pan as a son-in-law because he is young and has a bright future, and his family is rich, but it doesn't count. Gaomen, if a daughter marries in, she can enjoy a good life, but once this order comes out, who dares to marry, and who will be responsible if something happens?Is it calculated according to the restraint of the father, or according to the restraint of the wife?Anyway, this beloved man has turned into a cool man.

However, the really embarrassing thing right now is that the Xue family unanimously believed that they knew about this matter a long time ago, and this time they came to Xue's mansion to ask questions knowingly and to uncover their old scars.In the eyes of the Xue family, he is extremely hateful.But the point is, have I really received such a letter?Mrs. Wang couldn't answer for sure, because she really didn't know.

Xue's mother really wrote many letters to the capital when Xue Pan was one or two years old.She did her best for Xue Pan's illness, hoping that her sister and brother who had more contacts in the capital could introduce famous doctors to her son.Wang Ziteng also introduced some, but Mrs. Wang kept evasive and didn't make any effort at all.Back then, she really didn't think Xue Pan would survive.She didn't care about how the tool was cured later.One was in Jinling, the other was in the capital, and the mother of Xu was cut off from all over the world. With the death of the big house Zhang, the birth of Baoyu and a series of things, she never cared about it. sister's family.

Who knew that Feng Shui would take turns, and after more than ten years, the sick child Mrs. Wang favored would actually have a future.At this moment, Mrs. Wang couldn't help feeling guilty. She didn't know whether Xue's mother had really mentioned this matter. She even flipped through the letters at will, and she couldn't remember what happened more than ten years ago.If I had really said it, I would have picked up which pot I didn't open.At the moment, he didn't have the face to stay any longer, so he immediately got up and said goodbye in a humble manner, "I've neglected this matter, and I can't persuade my sister to be angry, brother-in-law, Brother Pan, let's talk next time."

***

"That's it?" Xie hugged Xue Pan tightly in his arms, as soon as the morning order came out, Jingzhong finally calmed down.During this period of time, he was tired of seeing those buzzing ministers, and wanted to growl and send all those who arranged marriages for Pan'er to the frontier.

But Xun can only sternly tangle in his head, but Pan'er is Xue's eldest son, and he has a very good relationship with his parents. If Xue's father and Xue's mother insist on him getting married, can he stop it?At this moment, Xun felt that it would be great if he was Xun Min, and he could do what others did without any scruples.It's a pity that he is not, and thinking that if Pan'er really has no successors, will the other party have no regrets?

Loving someone is not just possessing, but also standing on the other side's standpoint and thinking about him.Therefore, Xie suffered from insomnia for several nights, and when he was making himself more and more gloomy, he still made a difficult decision. If Xue Pan really wanted to get married, then this person must be chosen by himself.

Just when Xun was the most irritable, the Supreme Emperor called him over, handed the letter from Nanny Qu into Xun Shi's hands, and said in an unprecedented tone of earnestness, "Yes, take care of this thing yourself." Let's think about it, I don't know if it's true or not, but it must not be groundless if it happened for a reason, and you must not take it lightly. Father knows that you take the kid from the Xue family to heart, but you also have to remember your identity. Many times, I am afraid that you have used your sincerity, but the other party will not give you the same return. Since ancient times, there have been many people who yearn for power in everything, and there is no one who does not hope to be favored by the superior."

Xie received the letter, but he calmed down, and finally waited until his father took out such a thing.He pretended to be at a loss and looked at his father, and heard him say, "Yes, you must know that your relatives care about you most in this world. Xue Pan is a man, and he has never been able to stand with you in an open and honest manner. Look at the bustle and bustle outside, and you are also a man. Don’t you know that some things can’t be solved by feelings? He needs a wife to help stabilize Xue’s family. You are guarding against him, but you have also seen that the Xue family has no clear connection with the previous court, and Xue Pan has made such a lethal thing again, it is time for you to take care of yourself. The father's body is really strong. It won't be too long, and the road ahead will only depend on you."

Xie didn't make a sound, but frowned, squeezed the letter in his hand, and showed a struggling look in his eyes.The Taishanghuang didn't stop nagging, and seeing that Xun was being hit so badly that he was trying to hold on, he told him to go back and calm down.

Xie went all the way back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with no expression. Although his heart was full of emotions, he couldn't show the slightest bit on his face, for fear of being seen by his father's spies.

So it turned out that this was the day Father had been waiting for.If he and Xue Pan hadn't known the whole story of the previous treasures earlier, would he be able to deal with this issue calmly when he was disturbed by the news of Xue Pan's marriage?Maybe there is a estrangement between himself and Pan'er, and how much time it will take to get rid of the rift.

Father knows that he doesn't necessarily believe what he said, and he doesn't intend to make himself believe it. As long as he doesn't believe Xue Pan, his goal will be achieved. Therefore, people who have spent their whole life talking will not miss any opportunity to take advantage of it.

However, the Taishanghuang never expected that just after he took great pains to say this to Xie Shi, the order about Xue Pan not to marry before the age of 30 was flying all over the capital.The abbot of Dajue Temple said that this was Xue Pan's price for surviving death when he was a child.If a woman marries him, only one of the two can live.

The busy people who were jumping up and down a few days ago were stunned. What should they do next, should they grab the abbot and ask him what happened?Of course, the abbot of Dajue Temple is an expert in the eyes of the world, and everyone can't touch this bottom line, so they can only inquire around the bush.The Xue family broke out such a thing, of course it was behind closed doors to thank guests.

If you can't ask the Xue family, isn't there another Jia family that can't keep any secrets?Soon people who inquired about gossip in the streets and alleys got reliable information, and got confirmation from Xue Pan's own aunt, Mrs. Wang, that this order was true, and it was made a long time ago.

Everyone is discouraged. At this point, how else can I go home, wash and sleep?Of course not, you can't be brainless, Xue Pan can't, there are others, Xie Mu has been engaged for a long time, isn't Lin Yu still there, and they didn't know if their eyes were blurred, and they didn't notice that there was still such a thing A great young man.Xue Pan succeeded in diverting the disaster to the east, and Lin Yu also began to taste the warm hospitality of others wherever he went.

Xie finally showed a smile at this moment, in his heart he despised himself for being happy that Xue Pan didn't have to marry a wife, but felt a little sad for him. "Pan'er, you really didn't make up this order? In fact, if you really want a child, it's not right to marry a wife..."

"Fifth Brother!" Xue Pan interrupted Xie Ye's words, held his hand, and looked at him seriously. Why don't we use this juncture to explain the chaotic situation clearly. "Of course I didn't make up the order, but my parents told me. They had already prepared in their hearts, and even knew it earlier than me. Do you really want me to marry a wife? When we met, you already Having a wife is a fact, so you also want to be fair?!"

Seeing Xie Shi's embarrassed face, Xue Pan knew that he had guessed right, and he felt a kind of heartache. Such fairness requires too much emotion to be able to stand on the other side's side and endure the pain in his heart, "Five Brother, I can't be with someone who doesn't have feelings. Just thinking about lying in a bed with someone I can't trust gives me a tingle in my spine. Maybe it's the sequelae of a serious illness. This order is not made up Both parents know about this situation, they tried it back then, but in the end I almost didn't kill that servant, and they completely believed it."

Xue Pan’s words are no longer joking. The court situation in his previous life was chaotic, and there were people who had been hiding in his backyard for many years, and finally came to assassinate him at a critical moment. This kind of thing that the person next to his pillow is a life-killer is not a metaphor but a reality. After that incident, he was only used to sleeping alone, and he didn't like too many people in the room. The shadow of death was always in his heart.

When he was 12 years old, before Xue's father gave his order, he let a beautiful maid come to test him. It was because the parents outside had been paying attention, otherwise the man would have been killed on the spot.

Xie didn't expect Xue Pan to have such a disease, and always thought that Xue Pan just didn't like people getting close to him.However, Xie immediately worried about something more important, and asked nervously, "Pan'er, are you sure there are really no other sequelae besides this symptom?"

"No more!" Xue Pan replied affirmatively, and then said seriously, "Uncle Xun, I never thought of becoming the head of the Xue family. The heir determined by my father. The day he grows up is the day I leave. In this case, it is impossible for me to marry any wife. There is a sentence I have never said to you. From the beginning to the end, I only want to be with you However, the position you and I are in is destined to be impossible to live forever, but I believe that we can go to the end, and when we are gray-haired, we can watch the sun rise and set together."

It was the first time that Xun heard Xue Pan's confession. He hugged Xue Pan and buried his head on his neck, feeling the sound of blood flowing. His pale heart, which has never been stable, has been barren for more than 20 years. After that, a warm current poured in, completely washing away the past coldness.I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated.With such feelings, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

"We can do it." Xie didn't let go of Xue Pan for a long time. He knew that Xue Pan would do what he said, and he finally waited for Xue Pan's affirmative response. At this moment, he only hoped that this moment could become eternity.After a long time, Xie finally whispered in Xue Pan's ear, "No one can separate us, no one."

Xue Pan heard the firmness in Xun Shi's tone, and maybe there was a mockery towards some people, and then he thought of the Supreme Emperor. That person is so good at attacking people's hearts, he must have said something to Xun Shi. "Is it from the Supreme Emperor..."

Xie let go of Xue Pan, and the two tidied up their clothes. "Father just talked about the treasure. He thought you would have to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the Xue family, but he didn't know what he would think after he knew the order."

"Attack the heart, the Supreme Emperor will definitely think that this is a rumor that I released. He is good at planning and planning, and he will get himself involved. He doesn't want you to believe him very much, as long as there is a little distrust between us That's enough." Xue Pan knew that the Supreme Emperor finally took out the treasure, so he didn't worry anymore. This was his last move, thinking that Xun was the same as him, and sitting on the dragon chair would definitely kill him. The more you think, the harder it is to trust.

It's a pity that the Supreme Emperor never really understood his son. Xie was very thoughtful many times, but he didn't stand on his own standpoint, but on Xue Pan's standpoint.Therefore, it is because of beautiful love that people are willing to be equal, to think about what the other person thinks, and to be anxious about what the other person is anxious about.Since Xie can do it, so can Xue Pan, the position of Patriarch, or power over the government and the public has never been his goal.

Such a feeling is too high for the whole life of the emperor to understand.The love of respecting each other and looking out for each other is a kind of joke for an ancient emperor like him.It was the joke that made him lose once in his life.

***

This matter has finally come to an end. After hearing Xue Pan's confession, Xun couldn't be in a better mood. The whole person is radiant, just to paralyze the enemy. Well, you still have to put on a frostbitten face outside.

It has been two months since the announcement of the palace examination, Xue Pan and Xie Mu's official positions should also be confirmed.On this day, Xie left the palace in a small suit, not to play in the capital, but to get together at Xi'an, who was still thinking about having a meal together.

If you say that Xie Min is a bad-hearted person, and the things he really fears are held in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, the evidence of what his mother and younger brother committed is enough for them to die several times.However, as a person with a keen sense of smell who doesn't look like a human being, from the bustle of the imperial examinations in the capital, he can see something is wrong. not simple.

That's great, so what does that mean?After all these years under the hands of his father, Xi Yan finally waited for an abnormal emperor, how much he needed the appearance of such an emperor, the handle in the hands of his father is worthless, do you have a good discussion with the fifth brother For a moment, as long as the mother concubine and the eighth brother don't have cramps in their brains and don't cause trouble, everything will be fine.Xi Yan saw a bright future that would not be oppressed by his father.

"So, you hope that I can let Concubine Hui and the eighth brother live? The eighth brother also said that there are definitely more than one or two dirty things in the hands of the concubine Hui in the palace. Why do you think I will go around?" Someone who murdered the imperial concubine Chen." Xie was sitting in Xi's study, don't think he was asking a serious question, but he was just looking at the layout of the study, which looks pretty good, a bit There is no Daqing style.By the way, Pan'er mentioned that he didn't get the set of English books on the bookshelf, so he might as well take them away later.

Looking at Xie Shi's expression, Xie Min didn't guess whether he really cared or pretended to care, but just told a fact. "My concubine mother didn't treat me well. It's better not to have a mother like her who puts all the blame on me and gives all the benefits to my eighth brother. But what happened back then, I can't explain the late queen mother clearly." Do, my concubine mother, imperial father, and other people in the harem, what roles did they play in it? In short, whether everyone wants the imperial concubine Chen to die, or to murder the imperial father, there is no proof. The death of imperial concubine Chen How do you really want to hold the father accountable? Does he really not know that those things are poisonous? He is such a smart person."

Xie Yan expressed the guess in his heart without any scruples. He can be sure that the relationship between Xian and his father is not as good as it used to be.The royal father has been living in calculations all his life, the concubine Chen Taigui is very important to him, but is there really no warning to die in his place, and is he really kept in the dark?Or do you have a broken heart and want to use other people's hands to decide the life and death of Chen Taigui?

Xie took a deep look at Xie Min, he was really courageous enough. "You dare to guess anything!"

"Hey, brother, I dare to think and break the rules. Brother, you haven't rewarded me for getting so much money from the Houmeng people. The old man in the household department is happy, and the reconstruction of the west area is completely unnecessary. The imperial court paid the money, and the surplus went to the national treasury, so it would be good if there were more such good things.” Yan Yan pretended to be stupid and smiled blankly, besides asking for credit for himself, Xiao Guizi’s promotion was also very good Important, "By the way, Brother Huang, you didn't arrange Xia Gui's errand either, he is a talent, he must not be buried!"

"Xia Gui turned out to be a talent, but after being praised by you, I have to take another look." After Xie finished speaking, he saw that Xie's hair was blown, and the other party immediately corrected his attitude, and didn't care if Xie was in his heart or not. Suspicious, "Brother Huang, how can you wrong my younger brother? This matter is not said by my younger brother alone. Isn't Xue Pan also close to Xia Gui? If the two of them can form a mighty army, it will be very important for them." Daqing is a good thing."

Xie didn't make a sound, but just looked at the books on the bookshelf, "You wrap up those sets of books, and I'll take them away in a while."

"Ah?" Huan Min didn't understand all of a sudden, those books were very expensive, not only English, but also Portuguese and Latin, what did Xi want for it?And if I asked for his book, I should have agreed to my proposal.

At the court meeting the next day, the ministers who were planning to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow were frightened by a letter of appointment.

Xue Pan and Xie Mu were sent by the emperor to Bomurke in the north of the northeast, where the Ussuri River is to the east, with Temple Street City on it, and the sea to the east.In the late period of the previous dynasty, several battles were fought in that place, and some people who wanted to invade the Central Plains were blocked back.Speaking of developing the land in the Northeast, the Han people in that area moved there after the founding of the Daqing Dynasty and lived there mixed with people of other ethnic groups, most of whom were Jurchens.

The number of people there is slowly increasing now, but the winter there is very cold, and the crops only last for one season. It is not a place with surplus. Why did Xue Pan and Xie Mu be sent to such a freezing place? Could it be the emperor? His brain also twitched after successive emperors?The No. [-] and No. [-] rankings were ordered by the emperor.Isn't it falling out of favor by throwing people into such useless places?Ah bah, I still think about this kind of words in my heart.

The first person to approach Xi was either someone else or Xi Min. His good brother not only sent his second place to that bitter place, but also sent Xiao Guizi there.So Xun saw a resentful Xun Min, his sixth younger brother was too busy recently, and only spent his time on the face-changing skill. "What's the matter with you? It's not that you said you want to reuse Xia Gui, I gave him a chance, isn't it good?"

Huan Min shouted angrily in his heart, you are also called reusing people to send people to such a place, in the north of the northeast, only demoted officials will go there in Daqing, okay?However, Xie Yan is a smart person after all, he knew that if he only went to Xia Gui, it might be that Xie disliked him, but Xue Pan also went, which shows that the emperor has considerations about where he is.Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Xie Yan changed into a flattering expression, "Brother Huang, tell my younger brother, what's so good there? Are there gods? There are still treasures!"

Xie glanced at Xie Min, this person looked confused, and guessed it was right, but he would say it, of course not, and Xie Min did not do him any favors.I don't want to separate out the treasures. "What on earth are you reluctant to part with? Is it Xia Gui? I advise you to restrain yourself a bit. Father is still here."

Huan Yan curled his lips indifferently. Anyway, his reputation is worthless, and no girl from any family dares to marry a lunatic. He is not afraid at all.But it's better not to cause trouble for Xiao Guizi. "Brother Huang, when will they come back after leaving?"

Xie put down the writing brush in his hand, and because of Xie Min's disturbance, the paper could not be approved.The north of the northeast is where he and Xue Pan settled down. There are many minerals in the northeast area, and the manufacture of firearms can start.There is also a long coastline along the coast, which has a natural geographical location for building ships, and is also suitable for planning a port for ships to enter the sea.And that's where the treasure is.

These are not the key points, the key point is a letter from Jia Zhu, which made Xun Shi make up his mind that the Northeast area must not be meddled by Tsarist Russia.
