[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

After entering Mr. Wang's courtyard, Wang Zisheng shrank and stopped shaking the fan he used to pretend to be graceful.It's no secret among honorable and high-ranking officials that he got mad at his father because of a brothel girl. Every time he sees his father, he always feels guilty.

Mr. Wang is suffering from a heart disease, and it will get better if he adjusts slowly.When Xue Xun entered, Mr. Wang was half lying on the bed, and was being served to wash his hands.Seeing them coming, Lord Wang waved his hand, and the servants came out in a file. The whole process was silent, like a family of aristocratic families.

"My son-in-law has met his father-in-law."

"Get up, sit down." Mr. Wang pointed to Xiudun next to him.

There were only two embroidered piers, Xue Xun saw Wang Zisheng's sudden pale face, and knew that Mr. Wang had embarrassed him a lot these days, and he didn't save face for Wang Zisheng in front of himself, an "outsider".

"Father-in-law is sick in bed, how can my son-in-law dare to sit still? I don't know which imperial physician my father-in-law invited to check his pulse and what medicine he is taking now. Did the imperial physician say when he will recover?" Xue Xun asked repeatedly.

"I have invited Doctor Bai. I have a heart disease, which cannot be cured by herbs." Mr. Wang said coldly.

"Father-in-law, why did you say that, the imperial physician is highly skilled, and you will recover soon."

"Hmph! Even the best medical skills can't cure unfilial piety."

"My son-in-law has also done a little research on the way of medicine. How about my son-in-law give you a pulse." Xue Xun hurriedly interrupted and rescued Wang Zisheng. There is too much damage to reputation.

"Thank you Haoguang, there is already an imperial doctor around my father, so there is no need for it." Wang Ziteng said with a frown.Wang Ziteng is a few years older than Xue Xun, and now he is in charge of a low-level guard, and he can already talk at home.

"Second uncle, you're being polite. I'm just taking the pulse. If I don't have an needle or prescribe medicine, what's the problem?" Xue Xun sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and asked, "Father-in-law, how are you?"

"It's okay to have a diagnosis." Mr. Wang said generously.

Xue Xun rubbed his hands angrily to warm his fingers before stretching out his hand to feel his pulse. Xue Xun specializes in surgery and medicine, and he goes on missions for self-protection. Diseases of wealth like Mr. Wang are really not his strong point.

"May I ask if my father-in-law has been depressed these days, has lost his appetite, can't sleep well at night, and wakes up easily?"

"Yes."

"You don't want to talk, and when others make a slight noise, you feel that the noise is serious, and you don't want to go out?" Xue Xun asked again.

"Indeed, is it all reflected in the pulse condition?" Mr. Wang asked in surprise, he thought his son-in-law really understood a little bit, and most people from rich and noble families knew a little bit of medical theory, but he didn't expect that he was really knowledgeable.

"Father-in-law, this is a sign of liver qi stagnation."

"Doctor Bai also said so." Wang Ziteng sighed.

"I advise my father-in-law to go out more often, and don't close the door in the house. I've been talking and laughing for ten years. People's mind is like this, and so is their body." Glancing at the incense in the room, he was silent for a while without speaking.His movements were slight and restrained, if it wasn't for Mr. Wang, who was lying half-lying, with a proper angle, he wouldn't be able to see it at all. Mr. Wang cast a suspicious glance at the censer, his heart sank.

"What the virtuous son-in-law said is that we should go." Lord Wang said with a smile.

"My brother-in-law came here this time to announce the good news for my father, and my second sister is pregnant." Seeing that his father seemed to be very pregnant, Wang Zisheng quickly joked.

"I received the news a few days ago, but unfortunately it happened that I was not feeling well, and I wronged the second girl. Please don't blame my son-in-law." It's their family's fault that they haven't given Jin Ling any gifts.

"Father-in-law is serious, you are sick, but we can't be filial in front of the bed, you are so considerate, it really makes us husband and wife feel ashamed." Xue Xun said modestly.

The son-in-law and the son-in-law walked around in circles for a long time before Master Wang said: "You have been wronged about the General Secretary's matter, and I know about it. Don't worry, the four families in Jinling, the four princes and eight princes are all in the same spirit, and we won't let you wronged."

That's right, the Xue family is not one of them. The Xue family is included in the ranks of nobles, relying on the Secretary of the General Administration. Now that they have lost their position as the head of the Secretary of the General Administration, how can they enter the circle of nobles?

"Toiled father-in-law is worried. Xue's family was originally a family of merchants. The General Secretary is just in charge of the royal family, and now he just returns it. Besides, is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's minister on the shore of the land. His Royal Highness is the future emperor. , I just need a general secretary." Xue Xun said humbly.

"His Royal Highness is a mild-mannered man, brother-in-law don't need to be sad, it's all caused by those villains, and His Highness will definitely turn around in a few days." Wang Zisheng said carelessly.

Xue Xun smiled wryly. I really don't know what Wang Zisheng was thinking. He had just accepted the favor of giving up his seat and saving the siege, but now he has a knife in his heart. No wonder there is almost no place for Wang Zisheng to run.

"Shut up, Your Highness is also yours to comment on. Judging the king by his ministers, how courageous!" Mr. Wang shouted angrily, and Wang Zisheng was like a young sprout under the sun at noon, and he died again.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and after a while, Master Wang said: "It's a pity that I'm sick in bed, and I can't accompany you to visit your relatives one by one. If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me. Zisheng and Ziteng are at home."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Xue Xun got up and bowed. Seeing the tired look on Wang's face, he said tactfully, "My father-in-law is still ill, so I won't bother my son-in-law any more. Let me take my leave."

"Well, you can go, don't meet with the family, just come to the door if you have something to do." Master Wang reminded.

Xue Xun seemed to be very moved, and his words trembled a little. After walking a few steps, Xue Xun turned around and said, "Father-in-law, the autumn chrysanthemums are blooming just right. It is also a pleasure for you to enjoy flowers and birds in the yard. Chrysanthemums have a peaceful temperament. It is also good to put it in the room to smoke the house."

After speaking, he laughed awkwardly and walked away without looking back, as if he had finally made a choice in a huge struggle.

Master Wang asked his two sons to send them off, staring at the censer in the room, so he didn't know why, after a while, he called the chief attendant and said, "I took the censer and found a doctor on the street to see it. .”

Both the censer and the incense were filial to Wang Ziteng. At this time, Mr. Wang’s mind is full of images of father and son fighting each other and brothers fighting against each other. With Xue Xun, an innocent fish in the heavenly family who fights with his son, how can their Wang family be able to do this? exception.

After rejecting his mother-in-law's meal, he left the Wang's house, Xue Xun went to Jia's house again, and now Jia Daishan is still alive, leading the position of the commander of the imperial army, a real confidant of the emperor, and he is much better than Lord Wang in coping.Xue Xun's evaluation of Mr. Wang is mediocre and conservative, and he is not wrong in his evaluation. As high-spirited as Jia Daishan, it is the posture of an emperor's favorite minister.

The Jia family was in its glory at this time, the population was also prosperous, Jia Daishan's mother was still there, Jia Daishan himself was in his prime, and the two brothers Jia Amnesty and Jiazheng were well-known, and they were also rare talents in Xungui's family.

"My nephew's matter is clear to me. I will make a statement to His Majesty tomorrow, and I will definitely not let the Xue family suffer in vain." Jia Daishan dismissed everyone, not even keeping his two sons, only his confidant butler, and Xue Xun cut the heart and lungs and told the heart.

"The Uncle has broken me. Thunder, rain and dew are all your grace. There is no reason to be picky. Why do you offend His Majesty for me?"

"What are you talking about, nephew, you and I are really in the same breath."

"Thank you Uncle Shi." Xue Xun got up and bowed.

"You, you are just too careful. Poor Xue family's ancestral property can't be kept when your father just left. People never leave tea." Jia Daishan sighed.

"Shi Bo Gao Yi." Xue Xun said with tears in his eyes.

Jia Daishan patted Xue Xun on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the old man will definitely seek an explanation for you."

Xue Xun wiped away his tears and said: "Secretary, don't bother me so much, my nephew can't do it. To tell you the truth, I suddenly lost the position of General Secretary, and my nephew is also sad, but I have figured it out these days. It's the royal family's Yu Xue family, but it's just a escrow. There is no reason for a courtier to manage the things of the master's house as his own property. Fortunately, the ancestors of the Xue family have long established rules. At this time, it doesn’t take much trouble to separate it and return it to the royal family. Merchant is the Xue family’s job, and now it’s just returning to the job.”

"Your nephew understands the truth, but if you do business alone, you may be embarrassed by the officials along the way. Don't worry, if there are such corrupt officials, just write to me, and I will deal with you." Jia Daishan said boldly.

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Shi."

"Well, the old man is also worried. If there is one, there will be two. If His Highness the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to something, wouldn't he want to take it so cleverly?"

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. You and your uncles hold titles and official titles that are completely different from those of the Secretary of General Administration. Your Highness is transparent in state affairs and will not poach your own corner like this. Besides, there is Your Majesty." Xue Xun said sincerely: "Even if you are a nephew, don't worry about it. Now, Your Majesty is wise, it is the time for the government to be clear and the country to be safe and peaceful."

"My nephew is transparent, he is no less than a hundred times stronger than my two incompetent evil obstacles, today stay and drink with me..."

"The uncle forgot, the little nephew is in his filial piety." Xue Xun smiled and postponed.

Jia Daishan patted his head and said: "Yes, yes, I am confused, I will go to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow to burn incense for brother Xue to make amends."

In the end, Xue Xun did not stay at Jia's house for dinner, and left smoothly.

Xue Xun behaved humbly and obediently in front of Jia Daishan. When he left the gate of Jia's house, Xue Xun's back was covered with sweat. He was indeed the emperor's confidant and close minister, and he guessed Xue Xun's plan to seven or eight degrees.Xue Xun was so active in visiting his relatives, so he naturally meant to provoke the relationship between Xungui and the prince. His lips were dead and his teeth were cold. If there is Xue's family today, it will be Jia's and Wang's family tomorrow.It's a pity that Jia Daishan is very scheming and has made it clear a long time ago, so the intensity of provocation in the future must be greatly reduced.

Jia's return gift to Xue Xun was thicker than that of Wang's serious Yue family. If Xue Xun was really a desperate young man, he would definitely treat such a loving and righteous uncle with all his heart.

Jia Daishan also lived up to Xue Xun's evaluation of his wit and cunning, and now every word and deed in the study is recorded and sent to His Majesty for review.

Xue Xun was so humble and obedient, the emperor didn't feel guilty, he took it for granted, he only thought about making up for it if there was an opportunity in the future, and didn't mean to give him a false job to comfort him. As for the opportunity... the emperor was afraid that he would slap his beloved son in the face.

Xue Xun has visited various honorable relatives and business contacts in Beijing. Most of these people have two attitudes. They are just like the Wang family. There is alienation in the politeness; just like Jia Daishan, he wants to step on Xue Xun to show his loyalty, but the means can be divided into good and bad.

Visiting various houses, contacting relatives, and in the blink of an eye, it has been nearly a month in Beijing. Xue Xun packed his bags and prepared to go south. The Xue family shop in the south has already begun to lay off a large number of employees. Other wealthy businessmen are also like sharks smelling fish. The market fights.
