Uncle Xue was very excited and felt that the opportunity for the Xue family to rise again had come.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with the Xue family’s giving more and getting less. This is how it should be.
If the Jia family were not willing to take the Xue family to play, the Xue family would not even be eligible to enter unless they spent all their wealth.
The Xue family has its own house in Beijing, and Uncle Xue lived there after arriving in Beijing.
As for why Aunt Xue's family lives in Rongfu and never leaves, everyone knows.
Taking advantage of Xue Baochai and Xue Pan's day off, Aunt Xue took a pair of children and took a carriage to the Xue family's residence in Beijing.
Because there were women in the family, the carriage drove directly into the second gate. Mr. Xue, his wife, and a pair of children were waiting beside him.
It's not that you can't wait at the gate, it's just that it would be too conspicuous.
The capital is not as big as Jinling, and the reputation of the Xue family as a royal merchant really doesn't have much of a deterrent effect. Naturally, you have to be careful and low-key in your actions.
If you really encounter trouble, the three families of Jia, Wang and Shi will come forward to help. After all, so much filial piety in a year is not in vain.
However, if you only bother people with trivial matters that are insignificant, they will also be annoying and distasteful. After all, no one likes trouble.
When Xue Pan arrived here, he completely let himself go.
He walked into the main hall by himself, sat down on the recliner, and hurriedly called the maid to serve snacks and fruits, looking like he was stifled.
"Pan'er, what's wrong with you? Is it possible that you were wronged when you studied there in the Jia family?"
Seeing him acting like this, Uncle Xue said with a smile.
In my heart, I couldn't help but shake my head.
His son Xue Biao was at the age of going to school, but unfortunately he couldn't get in even if he wanted to go to the Jia family.
"Second uncle, you don't know that the Jia family is very strict in management, and even if my nephew has money, he has nowhere to spend it!"
Xue Pan complained: "When I rest at home during the holidays, my mother won't let me eat or drink. These days are really difficult!"
Seeing Uncle Xue looking over, Aunt Xue became furious and said angrily: "You have the nerve to say that, you are a bastard. You are already bloated at a young age!"
"You didn't study hard in school, and you didn't take martial arts classes seriously. As a result, you were beaten by a few boys in their early teens until you were bruised and swollen, crying for your father and mother. How dare you say it?"
When she mentioned this, she was obviously out of breath, clutching her chest and feeling stuffy.
"Sister-in-law, what are you..."
Uncle Xue was startled, and his face turned pale.
"It's okay, it's just that Jia Family School has parent-teacher meetings every month. I am an old face and have been embarrassed by this evil. I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it!"
Aunt Xue was so shocked that she probably got used to it and recovered after a while.
As for Xue Pan, he was so depressed that he didn't want to talk, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to face his second uncle.
Or Xue Baochai didn't want to embarrass his brother, so he changed the subject: "Second uncle, you informed us to come over, what's the matter?"
At this time, she was sitting next to Aunt Xue, teasing her cousin Xue Baoqin.
Second Uncle Xue did not dare to neglect. He knew that after his eldest brother left, it was Xue Baochai's advice that would keep the big house standing. Otherwise, Xue Pan would have been divided up long ago.
"The thing is like this..."
He briefly recounted what Jia Rong, the head of the Ning Mansion, had informed him, and finally said excitedly: "This is a great opportunity, and our Xue family must not miss it!"
In order to strengthen his persuasion, he continued to add: "If you really do it well, you may even be able to enter today's eyes!"
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were immediately moved and hurriedly asked for details.
Finally, it was Xue Baochai who spoke: "Since the head of the Ning Mansion has spoken, our Xue family must contribute money and effort. This time, my second uncle will have to worry about it!"
The Xue family must seize this opportunity to show their face in front of today.
Not to mention, this matter is a collaboration between the four major families. If the Xue family dares not to take the initiative, the consequences will be quite serious.
The Xue family only contributes people and efforts, while the Wang family and the Shi family directly use their official power to fight.
Under such circumstances, the Xue family had to keep up even if they spent all their capital.
Uncle Xue shook his head and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to get the matter done, and I won't let the other three families look down upon me!"
His heart is full of joy. This opportunity is also a good one for him and his two children.
If it is handled properly, he might be able to be awarded an official position directly.
The powerful officials around the capital are more popular than the county magistrates in Jinling.
Because of his financial support to Taizu, Xue Jiazu got the official position of Ziwei Sheren. Although his rank was only seventh grade, he had direct access to Tianting. He was also responsible for part of the intelligence collection work, which was quite important.
Due to his status as a businessman and the fact that none of his descendants were educated, the Xue family has never had a legitimate official. It's not that they don't want to be officials.
It's not impossible to spend money to buy it, but there is no possibility of rising at all, which means there is no future at all. It is simply thankless.
The other three major families will not spend their official resources to protect the Xue family's children. That is impossible.
As time passed, the Xue family gave up the idea of entering the military field.
But if Guo was recommended by the other three families and became an official official on the edge of the capital because of his involvement in royal affairs, then the situation would be completely different.
Even if it can only reach the fifth level at the highest level, it is still a huge improvement for the Xue family.
This means that the Jinling Xue family will officially enter the ranks of official families from imperial merchants.
It is very likely that the branch of the Xue family in Jinling, which has been cut off from the direct lineage of the Xue family, will take the initiative to seek reconciliation after hearing the news.
If the Xue family could be reintegrated in his hands and even restored to its heyday, Second Uncle Xue would be willing to die.
"Mom, how about my son working with his second uncle?"
At this moment, Xue Pan suddenly said: "My child doesn't want to study in the Jia family anymore, so he should go out and work with his second uncle!"
"No!" "No!"
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai spoke at the same time. Aunt Xue looked even more ugly and cursed angrily: "You evildoer, do you want to piss me off to death?"
Studying at the Jia family is a great opportunity to make connections?
"Brother, even if you don't get a good education, you still need to graduate from the Jia family in a serious way!"
Xue Baochai looked further and believed that the status of a formal graduate of the Jia family school might be a good stepping stone for his eldest brother Xue Pan and the future Xue family.
She also felt that her eldest brother was a bit crazy. He had lived in the capital for a long time, and it was unclear why he had to blend into certain circles if he wanted to thrive in the capital.
But with the status of the Xue family, it is impossible to enter the circle of powerful people in the capital, and it is even difficult to get along with them.
The Jia family is the most convenient and easiest way for the Xue family to integrate into certain circles...
