Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 261 Xue Pan returns home
Jia Zheng was like a mirror in his heart, and he was speaking to Baoyu at all. He hurriedly replied for Baoyu, "Don't dare, please rest assured, Mr. Wansheng will definitely supervise him strictly."

Saying so, he still didn't forget to give Baoyu a hard look. Baoyu shrank his shoulders and didn't dare to say a word.

Li Zhixing asked again: "The Xue family of the royal merchant is related to your family?"

Jia Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "That's right, Xue Yi is late-born's brother-in-law."

Li Zhixing nodded: "Well, I heard that there is an eight-year-old scholar born in their family. I love talent with all my heart and intend to accept him as an apprentice. Since he is your brother-in-law, you should send someone to their house to tell me what you mean. If their family likes it, let the kid follow me with them. Remember, keep it quiet and don’t make a scene known to everyone.”

With Li Zhixing's reputation, who is he not rushing to beg?Now, instead, he was told to deliberately ask someone to invite him, which shows that Xue Hong really got his favor.

It's just that there's no need for Jia Zheng to send someone to tell him. Before returning to the mansion, Jia Lian asked the servant next to him to go to Xue's mansion with his inkstone and told Xue Hong.

"Our second master said that this Mr. Li is a rare great Confucianism, and it is a rare blessing to have him teach for several years. What's more, it is Mr. Li's nomination to accept Xue Erye as his disciple, which is even more rare and good. Let me tell Second Master to seize this opportunity."

Xue Hong sorted out the memories of the original owner and herself, and found that she had never heard of Li Zhixing's name, but Jia Lian's ability to send someone to make it clear clearly showed that this person was very important.

"Go back to your second master, just say that I know, and I will definitely understand my father."

After Xue Yi returned home, he already knew about this matter, and hurriedly told Xue Wang: "Tomorrow, we will prepare a generous gift, and our family Hong'er is going to have great luck!"

After hearing what Xue Yi and Xue Wang said, Xue Hong knew about Li Zhixing, and she was also very happy. When they met the next day, they not only answered the questions given by the husband fluently, but also added their own unique insights.

Li Zhixing couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said "yes" three times in a row.

"Okay, okay, I said that a boy who can be admitted to a scholar at the age of eight can't be wrong. Now that he sees him, he feels smarter. How about it? Would you like to be my student?"

After hearing this, Xue Hong knelt down and solemnly kowtowed three times: "Master, please accept three bows from my disciples."

Li Zhixing was overjoyed, he personally helped Xue Hong up, accepted the great gift from Xue's family, and left Xue Hong to talk for several hours before letting him go home.

Li Zhixing just said that it was already the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year was about to come. It was a busy time for everyone, and even if they had to catch up on their homework, it would not be in these two days.He simply waited until the end of the new year, when the first lunar month was out, and on the second day of February, he would choose another day to pay homage to his teacher and officially move into Rongguo Mansion.

Everyone has no objection, they just hope that this year will pass faster.

But the Xue family has not yet recovered from the joy of Xue Hong meeting a good teacher, there is another good news: Xue Pan's boat back to Beijing has arrived at the Gyeonggi Wharf, and the servants sent to wait at the wharf have already picked him up. Arrived at Xue Pan.

Mrs. Xue Wang was overjoyed when she heard this. She had not seen her eldest son for a long time, and she had long missed him very much.

About two or three hours later, Xue Pan rode into the city with Bai Shanying and others. Once they returned to the mansion, they ran to the main hall without even changing their clothes.

"Mother, mother! Hong'er, Baochai, Xiang'er, I'm back!"

He heard Xue Pan's shout from afar, Xue Wang was happy in his heart, but on the face he was full of reproach: "They are all such big children, how long can they go out, and they have even forgotten the etiquette. Called, how does he look like a son of a family?"

Just as Xue Pan was about to rush over to hug his mother, when he heard this, he quickly braked, like a horse with its reins tightened, and stopped three feet away from Wang Xue's family, shaking. Luo shook off the dust from his body, and solemnly bowed and saluted: "My child is not filial. I have traveled far away for many days and never performed my filial piety in front of my mother. Now I am here to apologize."

After the salute, he solemnly wanted to kneel down to salute again. How could Wang Xue be willing to pull it up, hugged him in his arms and cried: "Mother's good boy, show me quickly. Well, it's dark and thin, It's stronger. I just don't know if I've changed my mischievousness? Have I grown into a man who is in charge of the family? Have you ever caused trouble for your master? Hey, by the way, where is your master?"

Xue Pan smiled: "Maybe I ran faster, and Master and Mistress are behind."

While talking, Hongguozi entered the hall with Madam He, He Zengshi, and He Xiaorou.

Mr. Xue Wang was stunned, and then asked: "Why don't you see Master Bai? Who are these?"

Hong Guozi smiled and performed a standard peer salute, and said politely: "Although this is my apprentice's home, it is also a family after all. My husband and a man are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard. I just ask him to wait for Master Xue in the study." This is my mother, sister-in-law and niece. This time we went to Sichuan to meet relatives. My mother is getting old. I couldn't bear to part with her, so I took her with me."

Mrs. Xue Wang once knew about this family in the family letter sent back by Xue Pan. Now when she heard this, she also sighed: "That's right, the whole family will be together after all. Please sit down, the old lady will go all the way." I’ve been working hard, are you in good health? I’m going to tidy up the yard and let the wives settle down. Manying, go open a yard, clean out the bedroom and rest with the old lady, and wait for me to resettle in person. Manmiao, go Bring the kid something delicious."

Mrs. He felt a little sorry, and said, "This... really troubled Mrs. Xue."

"What are you talking about? Master Bai and our Xue family are not ordinary friends. Now that he is Pan'er's master, the fate is even deeper. We already know about the old lady's house. Even if you have been living with us There is nothing wrong with the family, so don't say anything that will cause trouble."

Several female relatives were sitting together chatting, Manying came back after a while and said that a clean courtyard had been cleared up for Bai Ye's family to live in, and Bai Shanying had already rested in the outer room of the new courtyard.Mrs. Xue took the key to the storehouse, picked out some ornaments and some high-quality bedding to arrange with them.

They were busy until Xue Yi returned home, and everyone had a reunion dinner.Bai Shanying briefly explained what happened during the day before taking Xue Pan and Heizi away at the male guests' table outside. Xue Pan also took the opportunity to show his father a little fist and kick, and Xue Yi was very happy.

At the ladies' table, Baoxiang and He Xiaorou were two of the same age, they became friends after a meal, and then they got tired of being together. Son.So on the first day He Xiaorou came to Xue's house, she left her mother whom she had been with day and night, and stayed together with Xiang'er.
