Lin Yutong showed the fourth master the name card: "Such a person, do you want to see him or not?"
The Fourth Master squinted his eyes and tapped the name card with his hand: "This man knows a lot about underworld." But seeing him? The Fourth Master snorted coldly and threw the name card away: "No see!"
What kind of stupid thing?!
Okay! If you don’t see it, you’ll see it.
Just as the fourth master was about to take off his clothes, another report came from outside: "The prince is here, and he only brought one person with him, who came in through the corner door."
Now the fourth master had no time to spare. He asked someone to send Jia Yucun out and that was it.
After being rejected, Jia Yucun showed no other expression. He turned around and left with the others.
As a result, he saw someone leading a horse in at the corner door on the side. Seeing the posture, he paused in his heart. He became more and more convinced that the door he was looking for this time was the right one. The person leading the horse was clearly a eunuch.
This discovery made her throw away all the dissatisfaction in her heart.
In a few days, it will be Jia Jing’s birthday again.
The Fourth Master did not go to Jia's Mansion to wish Jia Jing his birthday. Instead, he went to Xuanzhen Temple. But this time, Jia Jing did not see the Fourth Master.
This guy probably knew that it was not good to meet in person, and that he would inevitably have to say some unspeakable things, so he simply chose not to meet.
Whether Jia Jing really knows that much, Fourth Master can't draw a conclusion. But if he says that he doesn't know at all, then no one will believe it. But Jia Jing himself also knows his situation, and he can't tell it.
He couldn't even come out. Speaking out would be tantamount to betraying the former prince. What kind of good feelings could the Supreme Emperor have towards him? But if he didn't tell him, what good could he do to the emperor?
Therefore, he became a monk. He didn't care about the secular world. He was once a close minister of the former prince, so he was completely loyal to the former prince. After that, he became a monk, and it was considered a worthy death to be known as loyal until his death.
Therefore, he disappeared from the Fourth Master.
Not only was the fourth master missing, but Jia Rong also came to carry the fruit on behalf of Jia Zhen to take Jia Jing back for his birthday. Jia Jing also didn't see him. He only sent someone out to say that the things should be left behind and no one needed to come in.
The fourth master also brought a gift, so it's fine when the gift arrives.
Jia Yucun went to Dongfuli early, thinking that he would be able to meet the old saint's close ministers today. Unfortunately, this one only went outside the city, and when he came back, he only asked Jia Rong to bring a message to Jia Zhen, wishing her birthday.
, but people can’t take care of it.
Jia Zhen didn't care. Being able to go outside the city in person was already a great honor.
Jia Lian also asked: "Brother Heng, won't you come today?"
Jia Zhen waved her hand: "I went outside the city. I asked Ronger to send a message, saying that I have to go to the palace today, so I won't come over."
While he was talking, Lin Yutong came again to send gifts.
Ten jars of fine wine.
Brother Rong came forward and said, "Uncle and aunt are so polite. Just now, Uncle Bao asked if there was any wine. Now that I have it, I don't have to go out and look for it elsewhere."
Jia Zhen felt that it was very honorable: "Send a jar to your Uncle Bao. His children tell him to drink less."
Jia Lian said on the side: "Rong'er is a junior after all. How can you say uncle like that? Send him to the old lady so someone can watch him."
After sending Jia Rong away, Jia Lian whispered to Jia Zhen: "Then why did Jia Yucun come today? He is no longer the same as before after he was dismissed. I kicked him out because of poor friendship, so why do you treat him as a guest?
?”
Jia Zhen whispered: "This man can't be sent away for the time being. When he was in Jinling, he did a lot of things for our two governments. If we drive him away, he will be annoyed for a while and go out to talk nonsense.
It's a troublesome thing. If we just stay in the clan school like that, we won't have much money for a year. Besides, he did a lot of help to Fool Xue back then, but now the Xue family can't support him."
Jia Lian frowned: "Actually, you'd better ask Brother Heng about this matter to see if there's anything urgent?"
Jia Zhen shook her head: "Even if it's important, if it comes down to it, it's okay to ask him again. I heard from Dai Quan that now he is the most popular person in front of the old sage. I heard that the old sage said that he
His temperament is like that of the second prince back then..."
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment and then stopped talking, but his eyes were a bit thoughtful.
Jia Yucun passed here, but none of the men of the Jia family were willing to support him. Nowadays, life is difficult, and it is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. Jia Zheng is easy to talk to, but he
The purifiers around me were afraid that I would steal their jobs, and they were like guarding against thieves. They couldn't even see each other. What to do next, they were really worried.
Xue Pan knew that Jia Yucun had helped, and now that the case was going to be retried, what should he do? In fact, he wanted to hear Jia Yucun's idea, so he treated him with extra enthusiasm at the banquet.
After the banquet was over, a day was specially chosen to visit with generous gifts.
Nowadays, Jiayu Village needs these generous gifts. Thinking that it is the Xue family, he can only grit his teeth. No matter how bad the Xue family is, if they use it, they may not be able to ride on it again. After thinking about what happened back then, he said: "Xue family
Master, do you still remember the woman who was brought home by him?"
Xiangling?
Why don't you remember? I'm at home.
He asked: "Why did you mention her?" He was still a little annoyed, knowing that the wife of Jia Yucun was a girl. Now that the good work unit asked Xiangling, could it be that they wanted to woo her?
Unexpectedly, Jia Yucun asked with a surprised look on his face: "Uncle, you don't know?"
"What do you know?" Xue Pan said hurriedly: "My benefactor, please don't hide anything from me. If you have anything to do, just tell me."
Jia Yucun whispered: "That girl is not from a small family. Uncle Xue wants to know about the Zhen family?"
"Hmm?"
Jia Yucun also had an annoyed look on his face: "This is something I only learned about in the past year or two. I really didn't know it at first. Back then, I was in Gusu and had a close relationship with a man named Zhen. His surname was Zhen and his surname was Fei.
Shi Yin, whose home is adjacent to the Calabash Temple, was married to the Feng family, and had a daughter on his knees. He had a red mole between his eyebrows, and his love was like a pearl in the palm of his hand. Unfortunately, the child got lost during the Lantern Festival that year, and the Zhen family was separated.
Later, when I met the girl brought by Uncle Xue, people around me recognized her as a child of the Zhen family... At that time, I also heard that Zhen Shiyin was a branch of the Zhen family, not a distant sect.
They are very close sects. It’s just that our sect is in Jinling, but his branch is in Gusu. It is quite wealthy and a famous family in the local area. Because they are not in the same place, they have less contact. But after all,
We are basically the same family, but we are truly one and the same."
Xue Pan was shocked: "Is she a girl from the Zhen family?"
"It can't be wrong." Jia Yucun looked at Xue Pan: "I know what Uncle Xue is in trouble for. But the Jia family is a relative. Can't the Zhen family be a relative? The concubine in the palace is the girl's family.
aunt."
The wine glass in Xue Pan's hand suddenly fell on the table: "Damn, damn, damn! You can't find the temple door while carrying meat everywhere, but you don't expect it, the door is already at home." He stood up and bowed to Jia Yucun:
"My benefactor saved the Xue family once more. I dare not say thank you for my great kindness, so I will ask someone to send me a thank you gift later."
Jia Yucun often breathed out a sigh of relief. He thought to himself: It is indeed another village with a bright future and a bright future!
But he said that after Xue Pan returned, he took Xiang Ling out first, and then told Aunt Xue this and that.
Aunt Xue was really surprised and happy: "Can this be confirmed?"
"Why are you not sure?" Xue Pan whispered: "Then Jia Yucun wants to rely on us to get into the Zhen family again, can he lie? This is the best thing for us. Once we connect with the Zhen family,
My dear, for one thing, we don’t need to take care of the case in Jinling. This matter will be dealt with by ourselves. Secondly, I have been suffering from no one in the palace to tell me. If I get involved with the Dowager Empress, our business will be lost now.
I'm alive. I don't have to involve my sister anymore."
Xue Baochai nodded repeatedly: "Let's pack our things now, and my brother will go find the Zhen family in person. He made a formal appointment and only said that the marriage had been arranged long ago. In this way, what happened back then is no longer a problem, brother
Just asking for my sister-in-law back, what's the crime?"
Xue Pan clapped his hands: "That's not what you said."
When the first heavy snow came, Lin Yutong received a message from the Xue family. The Xue family wanted to marry Xue Pan.
The mother-in-law of the Xue family was frothing at the mouth when she told Lin Yutong: "...Originally, we were set to have a baby, but our young mistress had a hard life. She got lost back then, and she thought that the marriage would be over.
That's it. Later, when the young master saw the young lady who was sold, he felt that this person was the one, but there was no evidence for this. What should he do? He brought the person back first, and then tried to find a way to prove his identity. It's so pitiful that he was so old.
I lost it at such a young age. When I grow up, I don’t remember my parents or relatives at all, and I don’t even remember how old I am. Mr. Zhen over there has long since disappeared. After searching for these two years, I finally have some confidence. I found Zhen.
Madam, our uncle has brought Mrs. Zhen in person to confirm her identity. It is unmistakable. That Xiangling is really the daughter of the Zhen family, her name is Yinglian. This is not a match made in heaven. Back then, she was still a matchmaker.
To say that I beat someone to death because of a girl is really unjust and cruel."
Lin Yutong was stunned.
These changes were really expected. Both Fourth Master and Lin Yutong felt that they were just living their own lives and really didn't interfere too much. Really, they didn't interfere too much. They were busy all day long and didn't care.
Interference.
Only those who jumped in front of me didn't do anything, I just pushed them away gently, that's all.
But I didn't expect that this change happened just because of two little people.
One is Jia Rui and the other is Lai Shangrong.
Jia Rui didn't die, he pissed Jia Dairu to death, and then there was a shortage of teachers in the clan school.
Lai Shangrong wanted to seek an official position, but the fourth master disapproved of it. He used this trivial matter in front of the Supreme Emperor to find an excuse for him to clean up his staff, and then Jia Yucun was beaten back to his original form.
Therefore, Jia Yucun succeeded Jia Dairu and stayed in the clan school. This man had a high heart and was unwilling to accept the current life. He found another way to start with the Xue family and indirectly established a relationship with the Zhen family.
Therefore, the result must not only be that Xue Pan married Xiangling. There is also Xue Baochai. If the Xue family has a relationship with the Zhen family in the palace, is it necessary for Xue Baochai to marry Baoyu?
Lin Yutong had no way to estimate. It depends on what the Xue family does and what the Zhen family does. It also depends on whether there are other changes in the meantime.
She accepted the post, said congratulations with a smile, and said she would definitely arrive that day.
Xiangling is good, but if she really wants to live a good life after leaving the house, it will not be easy. If she doesn't marry Xue Pan and goes back with her mother, what will happen next? Find an honest man to marry, but without her asylum, her life will be different.
How can it be better? Besides, losing one's virginity and remarrying, with the current harshness towards women, is it really okay?
Doesn’t Mrs. Feng love her daughter?
Love it so much.
Don’t you know that Xue Pan of the Xue family is inappropriate? How could you not know?
But I still agreed, I'm afraid I didn't know how many times I thought about it.
The wedding was arranged in a hurry. The Zhen family of Jinling probably expressed their support for the marriage of their girl because of the relationship between the Xue family, the Jia family and the Wang family. They gave several thousand taels of silver to buy a dowry, so that they could get married in a dignified manner.
Someone from my family came to show my solemnity.
During the wedding banquet, Wang Xifeng sat next to Lin Yutong and snorted: "Who is it that she has become a grandma now?"
Who doesn't know that Xiangling is a girl, or an unlucky girl who was bought, but now she has become the head of the Xue family, and she is on an equal footing with Wang Xifeng.
Lin Yutong said to her: "That's right! It turns out that you are a daughter of a wealthy family who has become the grandma of the Duke's palace. We are all wild girls and don't deserve to be on an equal footing with you!"
Wang Xifeng threw a melon seed peel in her hand at Lin Yutong: "You are too worried." After saying that, she looked at Lin Yutong's belly: "I didn't ask the imperial doctor to take a look. Is it a brother or a sister?"
"I'd rather live in a girl's family who is just like your eldest sister," she said.
Wang Xifeng didn't believe it: "Every old lady said he was a brother."
Shao Hua then said: "My uncle has already said that my sister and brother are the same. It is my sister who has more to worry about."
Yu Liang was afraid that the Fourth Master would dislike her if she gave birth to a girl, so he told the Fourth Master more than once: "If my sister comes to our house in the future, I will love her more than I love that boy of mine."
Will Fourth Master be happy? He doesn't despise his daughter at all, but he is also afraid that she really is a daughter. In today's world, life is difficult for any daughter. Therefore, he still hopes that he will be a boy, study and practice martial arts, and he will be able to stand out.
.
The Xue family really made the right move by taking this step. I heard from the fourth master that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has allocated all the money for next year's purchases to the Xue family. And the Xue family has benefited from the Zhen family, and the money earned will be given to Zhen.
One for each family.
As a result, the relationship between the Zhen family and the Jia family has become somewhat delicate.
Of course, the Jia family now has to rely on the Zhen family to exert its strength in the palace, but it is more attentive to the Xue family than before.
There are more people who flatter Baochai than Daiyu.
Lin Ruhai kept a low profile when he entered the capital. His position was associate bachelor's degree.
This associate bachelor is a first-class official. He also works in the cabinet, but he is a non-staff member of the cabinet. He is not very regular. He feels a bit like a temporary worker. As for Lin Ruhai, he also spends three days fishing and two days drying nets. Today
I'm sick, and I'll be sick again tomorrow. That's how it is.
This also has the advantage that if the Jia family wants to keep Daiyu in the Jia family, that will definitely not work.
When Lin Ruhai was 'sick', the Lin family sent someone to pick up Daiyu. Therefore, she usually spent more time at the Lin family than at the Jia family. Occasionally she went to live there, and then went back in three to five days.
Daiyu didn't really care which one the Jia family liked to fawn over.
However, Lin Yutong didn't see Daiyu very often. Now the fourth master is in a position where he doesn't have too much interaction with anyone. After all, he is a close minister of the old saint, so it is better to be 'alone'.
It's not easy to be a lonely minister. Sometimes you hear not only official matters, but also court affairs. Involuntarily, you also hear about some private royal matters.
For example, Concubine Zhen really spared no effort in filling the harem and talked about it in front of the Supreme Emperor more than once.
The queen had reorganized the palace affairs and cleared out most of Concubine Zhen's staff. Originally, you were not the empress dowager, and the matters in the palace should have been handed over to the queen. But can Concubine Zhen agree?
If she really has no influence at all, how can she take care of things like the Xue family?
There are only a few ways that women can cause problems for women. For example, the queen has not given birth to an heir. The emperor has been on the throne for more than a year and has not given birth to a single child. Is this a dereliction of duty on your part?
Therefore, Concubine Zhen took this point into consideration and mentioned it in front of the Supreme Emperor several times.
The Supreme Emperor dismissed Concubine Zhen with a smile, but the Fourth Master understood the look on his face, indicating that Concubine Zhen was annoyed.
The Emperor did not silence anyone who heard what Concubine Zhen said, so he turned around and spread it to the Queen's ears. Is the Queen easy to get along with?
Then I went to ask for the order, thinking that Jia Yuanchun could use it.
Didn’t the Zhen family dominate Jiangnan and never let go? Wasn’t the palace helpless against Concubine Zhen?
A family like this probably doesn't have to do anything by themselves. The Jia family thinks that the Zhen family is the leader, but when the Jia family feels that their own family is up, will they be able to visit the Zhen family?
Emperor Zhenglong and the Empress were also married, and they had the same opinion on the matter of gathering power.
So, November 13th of this year was Jia Zheng’s birthday.
The fourth master was not at home, but Lin Yutong had to go over to celebrate his birthday. It was either a big birthday or a birthday party. It was just a meal for the whole family.
As a result, before the banquet was served, someone came from the palace and announced that Jiazheng had entered the palace.
Where does Jia Zheng have any chance of entering the palace?
Not to mention Jia Zheng, even the other men of the Jia family have not known what it means to enter the palace for many years.
I'm scared, I don't know what to do.
I was also afraid that I would never be able to come back just like the family of Mr. Tuiguo. At such a sensitive time, the whole family was restless. Everyone put on makeup and stood outside.
Lin Yutong couldn't stand up with a bulging belly.
She took the initiative to help Jia Mu back and said in a low voice: "Is it a good thing for you, old man, to go back and sit down?" No matter how much others said it was a good thing, Jia Mu didn't believe it. Lin Yutong hinted that it was a good thing, but she believed it. Gein Si
When I go in and out of the palace, everyone else should be well-informed.
Jia Mu grabbed Lin Yutong's hand: "Seriously?"
Lin Yutong patted Jia Mu's hand gently: "It's a good thing that you just sit still! It's a big good thing."
The two people's voices were not loud, but Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Youshi and Wang Xifeng still heard it. Even Sanchun looked over curiously, wondering what the good thing was.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai looked at each other, then smiled and said: "Girl Tong is the most blessed. If she says it is a good thing, it must be a good thing."
The atmosphere was a little more relaxed, but more restless.
I didn't dare to think about it before, but now I dare to think about it, but I feel that until the hammer falls, my heart will not be at ease.
On a very cold day, several charcoal pots were removed from the house, but Mrs. Wang was still hot and had to wipe the sweat from her head from time to time.
After half a day's work, Lai Da came back and said that the eldest girl had become a concubine and that the master had gone to the East Palace to express his gratitude.
Suddenly, bubbles of joy and publicity seemed to pop up in the air. One was shouting "reward", and the other was shouting "reward".
After returning, Lin Yutong said: "I really don't know how to live or die!" He has been clamoring for a long time about filling the harem, and the draft has been postponed to next year. As a result, now he is suddenly alone, and directly banned all the female officials in their twenties.
I didn’t want to find out the reason why I married the imperial concubine, but I was just so stupidly happy." I didn’t even think about it. If the emperor wanted to favor Yuanchun, he would have already done so. How could he be so inexplicably and suddenly given such a great favor?
She asked Fourth Master: "Are you going to use the Jia family to bring down the Zhen family?"
The Fourth Master said ‘hmm’.
The Emperor moved against the Zhen family because the Zhen family was connected to Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Zhen was one of the few women left by the Emperor's side. Once the Zhen family was disturbed, it would give people a wrong signal.
The emperor wanted to take action against the old power of the Supreme Emperor. Therefore, Emperor Zhenglong decided not to take action at all. He borrowed the help of the Jia family to get rid of this nail.
Lin Yutong remembered what Tan Chun said: It can be seen that such a wealthy family cannot be killed for a while if they are killed from outside. This is what the ancients once said, "a centipede insect is dead but not stiff". It must first commit suicide at home.
, to be completely defeated!
To a certain extent, the Zhen family and the Jia family are not the same family. Since it is difficult to kill them from the outside, they can only be killed from the inside.
In terms of their attitude towards the Zhen family, the Jia family is not unlike those Zhongshan wolves who "go wild when they succeed".
Before the Queen's natal family's Chengenhou Mansion was in trouble, the majesty of the Jia family's uncles and uncles began to rise.
Here, the concubine was granted the title of concubine. The Supreme Emperor seemed to think that the favor given was not great enough, so he added fuel to the fire and agreed to visit the family. Didn't the Zhen family take over, and you all will take over too.
The Jia family has now become the "new rich", overwhelming the Zhen family.
After making such a decree, the Supreme Emperor looked tired and said to the fourth master: "I trust you. I have an errand for you to do. Don't make it public, just do it quietly."
Fourth Master understood that the Supreme Emperor took advantage of the fact that this family was more lively than the others and quietly asked people to build a garden.
The old man wants to move out and doesn't want to be such a hindrance.
As for this matter, we can't make the city a storm in advance. If we tell it in advance, Emperor Zhenglong will stop it on his face. But he really doesn't want to stop it in his heart.
It's an embarrassment anyway.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to explain it and ask someone to do it.
The fourth master has a lot of experience in repairing the garden and the mansion, and he also said: "No need to spend any extra money, I will definitely satisfy you."
As a result, the fourth master's time in the palace was shortened, but his time at home was longer.
There was no idle time at home either. The families who were allowed to be married were also interesting. They all asked Shan Ziye to design the garden. Shan Ziye looked for the fourth master, and the two of them locked themselves in the study for most of the day.
The design of the gardens of these companies and the materials used are not considered from their own perspectives. We must first look at what is needed for the garden of the emperor, and roughly what the gardens of these companies will require.
Then they made a list of how many of them should share the share of the Emperor's garden.
The fourth master could not do this by himself, so he asked someone to invite King Zhongshun.
Only then did King Zhongshun realize that such a talented man was planning to save money to build a garden for his father. He understood what this meant. No need to ask, he was asking himself to do this exclusive job.
Buying and selling. The price for exclusive buying and selling is so high! Moreover, they have to accept the price.
Let’s do it! I’ll do it!
This way the old man can be wiped out without spending any money.
Such a person is more useful than thousands of troops. The matter was told to King Zhongshun, and then King Zhongshun told Emperor Zhenglong. Emperor Zhenglong did not avoid the Supreme Emperor, and specially called for the fourth master to come in and care about the garden.
It is also a matter of concern to the Supreme Emperor.
When he heard Fourth Master's tips on saving money, he couldn't help but laugh: "Don't mention it, you guys thought of it together."
King Zhongshun also asked: "Who gave the emperor such an idea?"
Emperor Zhenglong said: "It's that boy from the Wen family. Not only did he come up with ideas, he also asked me for a marriage."
The fourth master knew who it was, and he laughed inwardly: Tongtong must have made this money by hitchhiking before, and the amount is not small.
He felt that he should think carefully about it when he went back. If the design was clever, he might be able to build a good garden for Emperor Zhenglong in front of the Emperor's garden.
He didn't say anything about it. Emperor Zhenglong told him to just call King Zhongshun if he had something to do. He also pointed out the eunuch around him to Fourth Master: "If it's not convenient for you to come forward, ask him to handle it."
The fourth master stayed at home and bored for several days, adjusting and re-adjusting the garden. Finally, he decided to rebuild two dilapidated palaces outside the city that had not been used much for a long time.
No matter how dilapidated the palace is, it still has a foundation. It is surrounded by royal land, so there is no need to mobilize troops.
This time, if the Jia family wants to repair the garden, if they ask the fourth master to go, the fourth master will definitely go! Knowing yourself and the enemy, you have to stir up trouble inside, so that they can coax them to find ways to provide money.
He went out to fool people into spending money, but he didn't expect that Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang were planning how to raise money. Relatives must express their gratitude. The Lin family said that things like rocks and rocks were paid by their family. This saves the money.
There was a lot of rain. The stones used to pave the ground and the stone pillars used are not small amounts.
People from small wealthy families like Lin Yutong, including the Yu family, have no intention of letting go.
Lin Yutong said: "The flowers and trees in the garden belong to me and my brother."
If you buy this, it will be a big expense.
The wasteland and hills that Lin Yutong and the Yu family bought in Tongzhou were all planted with flowers and trees. If sold, they would indeed be worth some money. But these flowers and trees were obtained from Jia She's garden and then propagated. They would have to pay for it.
, there is no such thing! The thing is fine, just ask someone to transplant it.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, including Mother Jia, were very satisfied.
The Xue family alone is in a difficult situation. Now, whether to fawn over the Jia family or not. Aunt Xue gave her 50,000 taels of silver, but no one was satisfied. She only felt that she was giving more to the Zhen family behind her back.
The Zhen family wants it, and the Jia family wants it, and neither can be offended just by saying it offends them.
It's really a dilemma.
Xue Baochai said: "Brother, why don't you go to your benefactor and ask him how to solve this situation?"
The title of concubine in Yuanchun was very sudden, and there were no signs before. How could Jia Yumura know where to go?
No, it will be very embarrassing after climbing up to the Zhen family.
However, when asked by Xue Pan, he said: "Where is a better way to marry each other? I have not been in Jia's house for a long time, but I also know the saying of 'a good match in gold and jade'."
Xue Pan suddenly stood up: "Where did you hear this nonsense, sir?"
"It may not be nonsense!" Jia Yucun said hurriedly: "The Zhen family... the concubine is just an old concubine. After all, it depends on the future. If you marry with the Jia family, even if you do something wrong, the Zhen family will
They don't care about it if they don't really care about it. They probably don't know the truth of looking into the future. At that time, uncle, you have to run to the Jia family, but the Zhen family has to run to you. You have to look at the Jia family's face, but you don't have to look at it anymore.
Listen to the Zhen family's orders. This dilemma between the two families can be considered resolved."
It sounds very reasonable.
Xue Pan went back and told Aunt Xue everything, and Xue Baochai inside listened very seriously.
Aunt Xue glanced inside and sighed: "Who are you, sir? You came up with these ideas... in a roundabout way..." Didn't they come back again?
Xue Pan sighed: "What did mom say we should do? Is there any other way?"
Xue Baochai opened the curtain and came in. Regardless of the shame, he said: "One moment, another moment! Back then, the Lin family was in such a situation. My aunt naturally looked down on the Lin family. Now it is different. The Lin family is a noble family.
The master is at the top of the court, and the elder brothers in the family are also up to date. And the eldest daughter is married to Marquis Jinghai... How could aunt give up the Lin family for our family?"
Xue Pan said: "My aunt wants to run to the Lin family, so the Lin family wants to marry their family, but can't it work? The eldest daughter of the family married a noble family, and she is the heir apparent. Could it be that the legitimate daughter married at a lower age? What do you think?
Baoyu is as valuable as a phoenix egg. Who will treasure him after he leaves the Jia family? How can he be compared with the Jinghai Marquis?"
Aunt Xue thought her son's words didn't sound good, but after all, there was some truth in them. Her family was running towards the Jia family, and the Jia family wanted to run towards the Lin family. The Lin family looked down on the Jia family, and the Jia family had to look for their own family when they came back. This matter lasted until the end.
, it can eventually be done.
Xue Baochai's face turned red, and her words like "You use jade as a phoenix egg, which is as precious as jade" made her so embarrassed that she wished she could sew it in neatly: "Brother, what are you talking nonsense about? That gentleman of yours, just said
If you say such a thing, you should take it as a golden rule and take it seriously. In the end, you are just a fool who can't be an official. You don't want to ask anyone for advice, so why are you just telling me and my mother at home? Anyway, what are you doing?
This house will be yours in the future..."
Xue Pan quickly stood up and bowed: "My sister is the one who deserves to atone for her sins. I am the one who deserves to die. I feel uncomfortable and all I say are stupid things. I know about this, and I will go to Brother Heng's house tomorrow to ask..."
Before he finished speaking, Xue Baochai opened the curtain and went in again.
Aunt Xue nodded at Xue Pan, with a look of hatred on her face: "You and your sister are the only two evildoers among us. I am still alive, and you are still like this... Look at the children of the Yu family,
Mom and Dad don’t care, look at what the brother of the Yu family arranged for his sister. Now look at it, which family is living as comfortable a life as that child?"
Xue Pan didn't dare to reply, so he went back to the house and lost his temper at Xiang Ling before he stopped.
The next day, when Fourth Master and Lin Yutong got up, the people below reported that Uncle Xue had been waiting at the door before dawn. He had brought many things with him, just to see him.
It's like a scoundrel. He's standing at your door. You can tell me what to do.
I had to call him in and ask what was urgent.
As soon as Xue Pan explained the matter, the fourth master looked at him as if he were a fool: "The Zhen family owes money to the treasury and has been unable to make ends meet for a long time. Whoever gives money is the boss. Concubine Zhen is no longer what she used to be. She has to use you.
, the Zhen family also got this sum. So they are dissatisfied, but they cannot leave you alone. When the Jia family is using money, after the garden is built, there will be more money. In the same way, who has the money?
It's uncle, why are you so cautious? They can't live without you now, it's not that you can't live without them. What you do depends on whether you are happy or not. If you don't have money to spend, you still have to look at other people's faces. Just try
Just try to act according to your wishes, they won't annoy you. Their status is noble, but here and now..."
All these words touched Xue Pan's heart. Yes, when we came to Beijing, we were the ones begging for help. Now, they all want the money in our hands, so why don't they support me?
I immediately felt that all the so-called counselors who came up with ideas were idiots.
I thanked the fourth master profusely, left a car full of gifts and two thousand taels of silver notes, and left.
Lin Yutong felt that the fourth master was really bad. He would bully a fool, but he would do it. Moreover, this guy's money was so easy to trick. It was two thousand taels at a time. If he could ask the fourth master for some advice, he could rely on it.
The Xue family became rich.
When Xue Pan went back and talked about it, Aunt Xue also thought it made sense.
Xue Pan said again: "I gave you 50,000 taels of silver. It is the affection between relatives. If you want more, you can do it. I will formally engage Baoyu and his sister in exchange for Geng letters to inform the four friends. You can't be secretive.
White……"
Xue Baochai did not refute this time. Even if it is unpleasant now, this in-law relationship is indeed the safest bond.
Aunt Xue went to talk to Mrs. Wang. How could Mrs. Wang agree?
This Jia family, this uncle and that uncle, when it comes to uncles, only Baoyu is the empress’s biological brother. With such a noble status, it is wrong to marry Bao girl. Besides, the old lady can’t agree to it.
.
So, she said: "To be honest with my sister, I don't want to get married. But for one thing, the old lady can't break it. For another thing, I have other plans for Bao Yatou. You are not an outsider, so I can say something."
Let me tell you. My Majesty is already in her twenties. At this age, there is no one with a son or a half... You asked Yingchun why you didn’t mention her now, because you were afraid that your Majesty would need someone to help you. But Yingchun
What will happen if your temperament... goes to the palace? On the contrary, it is not as good as Bao Yatou, who is very considerate..."
It means that Baochai is sent to the palace privately to serve Yuanchun. If Yuanchun still cannot conceive, Baochai is the prepared concubine.
If she said that, Aunt Xue said nothing for a while: "I have to go back and discuss it with her brother."
In fact, I still asked Baochai what he meant.
Xue Baochai's eyes lit up, "...It's better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself. It's better to stand on a high place by yourself than to climb up to anyone..."
