"Brother Pan, why are you here?"

In the guest room, Xue Biao supported his father and looked at Xue Pan lying on the bed pretending to be dead. Xue Ming asked in a deep voice.

When he entered the door, he looked at Xue Pan from the beginning to the end a few times. Except for a bandage on his forehead, there was no problem with the rest.

The key point is that Xue Pan's face is full of greasy food, his head is big and his ears are big, he doesn't look like the dying person he showed...

Seeing that he couldn't pretend, Xue Pan laughed dryly, but still insisted on being "powerless" and said: "Second Uncle, I came south to do business..."

"Do business, what business do you do?"

Xue Ming knew this nephew so well that he didn't believe a word of it.

Xue Pan naturally didn't dare to tell Xue Ming that he came out of Beijing to hide from the limelight because he bought an oiran for 10 taels and couldn't get along in the capital. good excuse!

I saw him grieved and said exaggeratedly: "Second uncle doesn't know, my family has been tricked by the people below!"

Seeing him like this, Xue Ming frowned and said, "What's the lower man? What happened?"

Xue Pan let out an "ah" and scolded: "That Zhang Dehui, my mother and I trust him so much, we entrust him with everything from Fengzi to him, I thought he was a good one, but who knows he is also a rebellious fucker! "

Xue Ming was taken aback when he heard the words, and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! Zhang Dehui has been working in Xue's house since he beat your grandfather, and he is responsible for his duties. Before his death, your father entrusted him with important affairs. How could he be rebellious?"

Xue Pan was furious when he heard the words, and instead of pretending to be dead, Gu Lu sat up and said loudly: "He is still good? If it wasn't for Brother Qiang, he would have deceived me too. In the past few years, the provinces have handed over I felt that something was wrong because the account was getting less and less. Later, I found out that Zhang Dehui and his eighth sons had reported deficits for three consecutive years."

Xue Ming's face became serious when he heard this, and after coughing dryly, he covered his mouth with a veil and said, "Even if that's the case, it doesn't have to be corruption, does it?"

Although he said the words to Xue Pan, his eyes turned to Jia Qiang.

He didn't understand until now that Jia Qiang must be behind this matter.

Regarding this, Xue Ming's vigilance increased greatly!

However, Jia Qiang seemed to have never heard of it, and she didn't explain it at all.

Xue Pan continued to speak loudly: "He didn't admit it at first, but Brother Qiang and I told him that if we don't behave ourselves, we will send the shopkeeper and the cashier to check the accounts. Fucking dog! He just admitted it, and brought their two sons here, saying that he had stolen two to thirty thousand yuan. I also admitted it, but after thinking about it, it was only money. The money they have been greedy for all these years , Don’t you want to buy a house, a door store, or a Zhuangzi? After further questioning, sure enough, Zhang Fu and Zhang Gui both got [-] to [-]! Did you say to help me take care of it..."

When Xue Ming heard this, shame appeared on his pale face, and he coughed more and more.

His son Xue Biao was not active, so he said at this time: "Brother, my father's health has been getting worse year by year, and now he is bedridden for most of the time. Even if he wants to, it is really difficult to take care of him. Cousin forgive me."

Hearing this, Xue Pan hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to help Xue Ming and complained, "Since the second uncle is so ill, why didn't you write to me earlier and tell me, nephew, I will find a famous doctor for you. Xue Biao is not doing anything." ..."

Seeing him like this, Xue Ming felt a little relieved, and said with a smile: "You are only a little old, and you can take good care of your mother and your sister, it's not bad."

Xue Pan was not happy when he heard the words, and said: "Second Uncle looks down on people too much. I started to set up a family when I was ten years old, and I can't take care of you well? Second Uncle, don't look at people with old eyes. It's not me who flatters myself. Now Xue Biao is no match for me."

Xue Ming chuckled, coughed a few more times, and coughed more and more fiercely, covered it with a veil for a while, then took out the veil to take a look, the bright red really hurt people's eyes.

When Xue Biao saw it, he fell to his knees and burst into tears.

Xue Pan was taken aback when he saw it, and said with tears, "How did you get to this point? Is this okay? Is this okay?"

These days, coughing and vomiting blood is basically the same as making a decision.

Although Xue Ming is his father's concubine brother, he separated early and went out to live alone.

But in Xue Pan's view, no matter what, he was his second uncle.

In the years when his father was gone, if this second uncle hadn't helped support him, Fengzi would have disappeared long ago.

His mother was also worried that Xue Ming would come to invade Fengzihao's family business, and secretly guarded against it, but over the years, Xue Ming had never had any unreasonable thoughts about Fengzihao.

Such an uncle, even though he was a concubine, he still respects him in his heart.

Xue Ming seemed to have taken everything away. Although he looked more and more serious, and it was difficult to breathe, he still squeezed some smiles on his face, and said slowly: "Originally, the thing I was most worried about was you, Pan'er. You used to ...It has never been very safe. But I don't want to, now that I am older, I can handle things. In the future, you must take care of your mother and your sister, and don't make troubles again, so that you can live a good life. If so, the spirit of the eldest brother in heaven will also feel at ease gone."

Xue Pan who said these words had tears in his eyes, and cried, "Second Uncle, don't say that, it sounds like you're going to die soon. I'm going to find a famous doctor for you now... Huh?"

Xue Pan suddenly became excited, turned his head to look at Jia Qiang, and said excitedly, "Brother Qiang, has the imperial doctor who treated your father-in-law left?"

"..."

Jia Qiang was shocked and asked, "What did you say? Who are you seeing?"

Xue Pan patted his head and said, "He is the one who treats the leader of the Jinsha Gang. Isn't his daughter your concubine? There is also the imperial doctor who treats the Linyan Hospital... Can you please come and save my second uncle?"

Jia Qiang sized up Xue Ming and Xue Biao, nodded and said, "I'll go and invite, but I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."

……

PS: Why do some book lovers feel that the protagonist is unprincipled in favor of Xue Pan, and that Feng, which Xue’s family has cultivated for decades since their ancestors, is almost surnamed Jia, not to mention the "startup capital" of 30 million taels of silver? , I am almost ashamed to write more, but there are still book friends who feel that they are too unprincipled to help others, and those who hold a grass, the bosses are more black-hearted than the other!

After leaving the guest house, Jia Qiang sent someone to invite the imperial doctor who was still staying at the Yamen of Yanyuan and had not returned to Beijing.

Because of his generosity, the money and red seals are generous, so the two imperial doctors are also more face-saving, and generally they will not refuse him.

After sending someone to invite, Jia Qiang didn't stay here any longer, but went to see Chen Rong, the censor who is now in charge of the Yamen of Yanyuan.

After two hours of discussion, Jia Qiang left and went back to the inner house.

"Ah! Grandpa is back!"

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiang Ling turned her head and saw that it was Jia Qiang who came in, she shouted joyfully.

Jia Qiang's gaze paused at the alluring curve of her body, looked at her and smiled, "Why are you washing clothes again? Can't you just leave it to Sister Huanxi?"

Xiangling is charming and pretty, with innocent eyes, and said with a smile: "It's the little clothes inside, there are master's, sister Xiaojing's, and mine! After the heating is installed in the house, washing clothes in winter is not at all difficult. I’m sorry, I can’t even use the smoked cage and Mrs. Tang.”

In this era, ordinary people in Yangzhou kept warm by filling copper basins with wheat bran, lighting them half-combustible and half-non-combustible, covering them and letting them retting to keep warm. Of course, it would not be very warm.

Rich people use smoked cages and Tang Pozi, Tang Pozi is naturally easy to relieve, just like a hot water bottle.

As for the smoked cage, it is a flat cage filled with incense to hold silver frost charcoal, which is fragrant and warm after being lit.

But the cost is too high, not as good as heating constant temperature.

Jia Qiang nodded and asked, "Is your mother okay?"

Xiang Ling pouted, but then smiled again: "Although he was ill, but the doctor saw it and said, it was a good thing, it dissipated the evil spirits in his stomach, and he will be fine after heals up. Thanks to Ms. Lin for helping me, Ms. Lin is so kind, she asked Mama Wu to help me... Is the master going to change clothes when he comes back? Eh, I want to wear this?"

Seeing Jia Qiang come out with the snow fox-trimmed blue-red twisted gold lynx-skin crane cloak she brought from the capital, Xiang Ling asked in amazement.
