Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

"Hahaha, oh, please forgive me, please forgive me."

"Hahahaha!"

Xue Pan also laughed. Since he was in pain, he couldn't let Xiang Ling feel better.

Aunt Xue, who had been up all night listening to the movements in her son's room, finally felt at ease. There was no movement at all in her son's house before, so she thought something had happened!

Early the next morning, both Xue and Pan came over to serve tea to Aunt Xue with dark circles under their eyes. Xiang Ling kowtowed to Aunt Xue and said hello. Xue Pan also looked indifferent and yawned leisurely.

He didn't show any concern for Xiang Ling, but he seemed to stop cherishing her after he was full.

Seeing him like this, Aunt Xue felt relieved. She was afraid that her son would be obsessed with Xiangling's beauty, and she was fascinated by Xiangling from then on.

"I have something to do today, so I'll go out first."

Xue Pan watched Xiang Ling finish serving tea and stood up to leave. Between women, especially between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is better for men to interfere less.

Especially in ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was even more dangerous. It was better for him not to get involved in it.

And given Xiangling's weak temper, Aunt Xue might not be in the mood to bully her.

"Hey~ wait, what are you doing? Do you still remember how many days have you been away from school?"

Aunt Xue called Xue Panna Xiangling mainly to keep him honest for a few days. If she can't be honest these days, she will lose a chess piece in vain.

"What? I still have to go to school?"

Xue Pan was about to reorganize his business. After he was ready, he could lie down and wait to die.

I don’t want Aunt Xue to send him to school.

"Why not? What is a man like if he doesn't study? Don't look at your cousin Baoyu. He has read so many books, how knowledgeable he is! Look at him, and then look at you."

Aunt Xue has forgotten how Xue Pan "killed everyone" at the banquet yesterday. In her opinion, these are all trails.

Although the Xue family is a merchant, it is not an ordinary merchant. Their family is employed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is equivalent to a "state-owned enterprise".

If Xue Pan advances and goes directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs to become an official, it will not be difficult for him to ask his uncle Wang Ziteng to help him become an official.

So Xue Pan still has to study seriously!

"oops!"

Xue Pan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and spread out on the chair, "I have taken a concubine and become an adult, do you still want me to study?"

Baochai was watching the changes in his brother Xue Pan carefully from the sidelines, but now he felt relieved when he saw that he was still the same again.

She covered her mouth and laughed at her brother: "Does it mean that I don't need to study anymore when I get married? The sage said, live and learn until you are old. I still have more to learn!"

Xue Pan looked at her and smiled innocently.

One of the benefits of being Xue Pan is that you can see Xue Baochai, who is dignified and majestic, but also act weirdly and coquettishly. And from his memory, he also discovered a lot of things Xue Baochai did to make fun of him.

It's a pity that since Xue's father died, Baochai's innocence and childishness have all gone away.

Nowadays, it is difficult to see Baochai being naughty anymore.

"My sister still looks good like this. If she wears it at home, it won't be interesting at all."

"Humph!"

Xue Pan's words reminded Baochai, and she immediately concealed her smile. She was secretly annoyed that she was not dignified, so she asked her brother to make fun of her.

"Nonsense, what are you doing to offend your sister again? Your sister's etiquette is not bad at all. If it weren't for your evil deeds, she would be able to do anything she could..."

Aunt Xue started to talk again. It seemed that only by arousing Xue Pan's guilt could the stability of a family be maintained.

"Oops! Mom, you are saying this again! I owe my sister, and I am also correcting it now! When the results come out one day, I will report it to you."

Xue Pan quickly stood up and ran towards the door.

"I really have something to do today... please give me another day off. I will go to school again tomorrow."

He also wants to meet Prince Shui Rong of Beijing!

It's almost time now. If it's too late, the Supreme Emperor will give him the title. Instead of rushing to curry favor now, when the water dissolves and becomes the prince, the cost he will have to invest will be even higher.

It's better to become a confidant with the hero before he shows up.

Nowadays, he is unable to achieve his goals and wanders around in taverns and teahouses every day.

It was also at this time that he met many special talents, and finally formed the Prince's Party that could compete with the imperial power chamber.

In a few months, he will become an important force in winning over the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor, and will "shine brightly" at Qin Keqing's funeral.

Xue Pan looked for a few places where he often went, and sure enough he saw him in a small teahouse.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is well."

Xue Pan put up his fat face and said hello with a silly smile, but Shui Rong acted like he just discovered him.

"It turns out to be Brother Xue, come and sit down. We have been friends for many years, so just call me by my name."

Shui Rong had already found out the details of Xue Pan from the secret guards, but the information collected was the same, and he himself had other considerations.

Judging from his interaction with Xue Pan, Xue Pan is not as simple as a "silly fool". But he did have a handle on the human life lawsuit. This kind of person is really tempting to him.

"Brother Xue also likes listening and speaking books?"

"I really like it. But the main reason I came here this time is to make a deal with Brother Shui."

Xue Pan hit the snake with a stick and called him eldest brother.

Shui Rong didn't even frown. He knocked on the table with a smile, and a guard immediately went out.

"Brother Xue is a cheerful person. In the past, when I told others this, they just thought I was being humble and refused to call me my brother or brother. Although this prince has been favored by the royal family and has a slightly higher status, he is still lonely."

"Hey, who says it's not the case? I'm a single person from a small family, but I'm looked at with strange eyes just because I have two filthy rich people. I also lament that in this life, it's really hard to find a close friend!"

"Brother Shui, I know that they all cherish and respect me, so they don't dare to be close to each other. I'm a rough guy, so I was originally like that. But I see that Brother Shui is really an extraordinary person, so I want to get closer and closer to him. Even if I learn a little bit, it will be enough for me to survive for a lifetime."

"Hahahaha!"

When Shui Rong listened to Xue Pan's words, the flattery was really vulgar. But the emotion in these words is sincere, and it really makes Shui Rong not bored.

Besides, he had so much money with him.

At this time, the guard who went out to do something came back, and Shui Rong got up.

"Since we are so destined, we really should have a drink to celebrate. Let's go, I have already booked a place, let's have fun together."

"Hey, I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears, hehe!"

Xue Pan acted like a loser and went with Shui Rong to the box reserved by the guards. He was busy waiting on her, letting Shui Rong know that he was sincerely serving as his younger brother.

"The place before was too messy, but now this place is quieter. I don't know what kind of business Brother Xue wants to do with me, but now I can talk about it in detail."
