Xue Bawang's daily life

Speaking of Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt inspection in Yangzhou, it can be said that everyone knows about it.After all, although the Lin family's current family background is not very prominent, it is also a family of hairpin tassels and a family of scholars, and it is also married to the Jia family of the four major families.Naturally, what is more important is Lin Ruhai's simplicity in the emperor's heart.

The Xue family and the Wang family are related by marriage, and the Wang family and the Jia family are also married. Both the aunt and niece married into the Jia family, and the Jia family also married the eldest daughter into the Lin family. In this way, the Xue and Lin families can also be regarded as The in-laws who turned the corner.However, Xue and Lin's two families, one is a wealthy businessman and the other is a scholarly family, and they have never been in contact with each other. Therefore, Xue Pan was slightly surprised when he heard the news of the Lin family from Xue's father.

It is also a strange thing to say, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min have been married for several years and only have one daughter.Now he finally got a son under his knees, and raised him until he was old, but he was killed by a cold.Since he died in infancy, not to mention the genealogy, even funerals are not a big deal.The grief of Lin Ruhai and his wife was not mentioned.But he said that because Jia Min was sad about the death of his young son, but he didn't want to bury it casually, he secretly held a ritual ceremony for the child at home.It's just that when the coffin was being loaded, the child who had already lost his breath suddenly came back to life.

Later, it was said that another monk Laitou came, insisting that Lin Ruhai, the youngest son who had come back from the dead, was the "obstacle" of his life, and insisted on getting him out.Although it is very strange that this child came back from the dead, but Lin Ruhai has always been a person who does not believe in these ghosts and gods. Besides, he is a son who was obtained with great difficulty, so how could he be willing to let him go with an unknown monk.After all, I had some doubts in my heart, and then I took my son to a famous temple, worshiped an eminent monk and became a registered disciple.

Because this matter is a bit weird, the Lin family will not spread it to the outside world.It's just that there were quite a few monks and Taoists who did things for the youngest son of the Lin family back then, and there were many people who talked and talked, even if they were coercing and luring, it was inevitable that some rumors would spread.There was also a lot of noise from the Laitou monk blocking the door, and finally spread the matter.It's just that the rumors of the time were evil, so Xue Pan just listened to it for the time being.However, he was certain that the origin of Lin Ruhai's youngest son might be similar to his own.

But Xue Pan didn't have any thought of admitting his relatives.Leaving aside where this person came from, if he is a pig teammate, he can kill himself, and if he makes others tired, he will die!

Father Xue brought this up as a joke, after all, if the child was possessed by some demon, Lin Ruhai would be the first to strangle the child to death.The youngest son of the Lin family probably fell into a coma for a while, or had some other ailment, and was misdiagnosed by the doctor, which gave birth to such a farce.It's just that people in the world always like to spread these gossips, and they will inevitably lose the truth if they spread rumors.

However, Father Xue also admired Lin Ruhai's actions.At this time, rumors had spread, which was extremely unfavorable to the Lin family.However, Lin Ruhai did not blindly suppress the rumors. Instead, several more unbelievable stories spread out, which made people know that it was false as soon as they heard it.It's hard to tell whether it's true or not.After a period of time like this, the truth is buried under it, making it difficult for others to investigate.At this time, if a few other rumors, whether true or false, spread out in a timely manner, people will gradually forget about the matter of the Lin family.

Father Xue only mentioned it briefly, and Xue Pan just listened to it.

Speaking of which, there is also an important matter now, but it is related to the Wang family of Xue's mother's family.

The current head of the Wang family, named Wang Ziteng, is a descendant of the prince who ruled the county under the command of the Taiwei. His ancestors were powerful officials who held a heavy army.But the Wang family is well aware of the suspicion of being the master of high meritorious deeds. After all, they deliberately made some inconspicuous mistakes.

However, although their titles are higher than those of the Jia and Shi families, they are the ones who really hold the real power.Even in Wang Ziteng's generation, although the title is gone, he is highly valued by the emperor, and he is entrusted with the important position of Jingying Jiedushi, and he is also a figure in the emperor's heart.

Because Prince Teng has always been prudent and never disagrees with others, even the serious in-laws of the Yue family do not see how much care he has, so he has won the heart of the emperor.Now, after serving as the Jingying Jiedu Envoy for a year, he was promoted to be in charge of the nine provinces, and was ordered to inspect important frontier defenses.Less than a year later, he was promoted to the capital of nine provinces.

Although the official position has been promoted again and again, Wang Ziteng is not that kind of arrogant person, but has become more and more low-key.Because of his promotion to an official position, Wang Ziteng had to return to Beijing to report on his work, and at the same time he had to make some handovers, so it was rare for him to be at home for a few days.Seeing this, the family members inevitably take advantage of this time to celebrate with wine, which is also an old practice.

Since there is going to be a banquet to celebrate, needless to say the acquaintances of several relatives in Beijing, I will invite them.Such as the Xue family's in-laws in Jinling's hometown, it's not easy to invite them, but they have to send such good news to them, that's what they mean.Since Xue's family got the letter, they couldn't come in person, but they couldn't miss the ceremony.

Moreover, Wang Ziteng's wife, Qi Shi, did not think much of Xue's family, and had a bit of trouble with Xue's mother, but Wang Ziteng had a lot of respect for Xue's father, brother-in-law.After all, the Jia family only has one title, and it is not in Erfang.Jia Zhengmeng Zuyin of the second room got a fifth-rank official, and now it seems that it is limited.His second brother-in-law is more eye-catching than the eldest brother-in-law.But after all, the Xue family is a family of merchants, no match for the lords of the Jia family, and their daughter is married to the eldest son of the Jia family, so they will be able to become nobles in the future.A younger sister is not as close as a daughter, even though he likes Father Xue as a man, he is still willing to get close to Jia's family.

On the contrary, his second brother-in-law has never been very close to them, let alone take advantage of the Wang family's influence, so he is a very smart person.Naturally, even if the Xue family didn't take advantage of the influence of the Wang and Jia families to go out for a walk, others would give them two more points because of the two families, but there was nothing they could do about it.

When Father Xue received the letter, he inevitably sent someone to prepare a congratulatory gift according to the old rules. He originally planned to send a steward to bring the congratulatory gift over there to congratulate him, but this time Xue Pan strongly demanded to go with him. .

Now that he has grown to such an age, he has never set foot outside Jinling. It is Xue Biao who has followed Uncle Xue's family all over the world for the first few years, even going to the northern part of the country. It really opened Xue Pan's horizons a lot.Now it is different from the advanced transportation and communication in the later generations. Wherever he wants to go, he can understand the world's major events without leaving home. He also plans to go to Jia's inner house to take a look at it while he is young.Looking at the current state of the Lin family, I'm afraid we won't be able to see Lin Daiyu, this little beauty, but it would be nice to see the sisters Yingchun and Tanchun.

Father Xue was very happy for Xue Pan to go out for a walk. For things like this, family members will accompany him along the way, so he has learned a lot.Seeing Xue Pan's lazy look, Yuan Yuan offered to do this without thinking about him, Father Xue felt comforted again.He was so angry at Xue Pan's rent collection that his liver ached, but now he has calmed down a bit.However, if he knew that his son was rushing to see the little beauty, he might not only suffer from liver pain, but also have some problems with his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

Xue Pan is going to Beijing, how can Heizi not accompany him.And because it was the first time for Xue Pan to travel far away, father Xue couldn't feel at ease even if he sent someone else, so he asked the chief steward, Xie Fang, to follow him on this trip.

Before going out, no matter Xue's father or Xue's mother, they all have some instructions, even Baochai has something to ask.Baochai squeezed the handkerchief, and laughed softly: "I heard from my mother that there are sisters in both my uncle's family and my aunt's family, but now that our first cousin has been elected to the palace, I will give it to the other sisters." I prepared a small gift, and I asked my brother to help me take it there." He mentioned Xue Pan again, "I heard from my mother that there is an elder brother named Wang Ren in my second uncle's family, and a younger brother named Baoyu in my aunt's family. When I come to Beijing, I think I can see them all. After all, they are all brothers of the first blood, and they are always good intentions."

Xue Pan just went to have fun, just to give congratulatory gifts along the way, he wouldn't think about it too much, but it's good to have a girl to help him think about it.

When the congratulatory gift was ready, Xue Pan and Heizi followed the steward Xie and his servants to Beijing.

Xue Pan has always been a covetous person, even Manager Xie was worried that he would not be able to endure the long journey, but he didn't want to, when he arrived in Beijing, Xue Pan didn't even say a word of hardship. He was actually two points more energetic than Heizi.

Xue's family owns their own real estate in Beijing, but it's just that when the New Year's ceremony is held every year, some servants come to live in it.The main house has been vacant since the master of the Xue family has not come over all year round. Although there are servants to take care of it, it is not easy to live directly at this time.

But at Xue Pan's age, when he came to Beijing, even if he didn't come here just to give gifts, Wang Ziteng couldn't ask his nephew to live outside alone.So the other members of Xue's family still lived in Xue's house, while Xue Pan took Heizi and Yuanbao copper coins to live in Wang's house.

Although Mrs. Qi was not on good terms with Xue's mother, she did not make things difficult for the child. When she saw Xue Pan, she said a few words and sent him to rest.

Mrs. Qi has only one daughter and no legitimate son, but there are two concubine sons, but they are not very successful, so Wang Ziteng kept the second son Wang Ren by his side to raise him.And Mrs. Qi's only queen, Xifeng, is now married to Jia Lian, the eldest son of the Jia family.

On the second day, after greeting Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Qi, Xue Pan went to visit his second uncle's house and met his cousin Wang Ren by the way.

Since I have arrived in Kyoto, and it is the first time I have come, I must walk around with my relatives.There are mainly two in-laws of the Xue family, the Jia family and the Wang family.And because the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue have always been in the same spirit, and after calculations, they are more or less related to the historians, so Xue Pan will inevitably go to visit.There is also the Mei family, which is Uncle Xue's in-laws, and Xue Pan is naturally going to visit.There are a few more houses that are often contacted in the mall, and Xue Pan personally went to the door to pick up the important ones.

After doing this, the other family didn't mention it, but the Jia family left a deep impression on Xue Pan.

Xue Pan was only a child, not enough for a Duke's mansion like the Jia family to open the door to welcome him, so he entered the corner door, which was not because the Jia family treated him with disrespect.

Ordinarily Xue Pan should have visited Jia Zheng first, but Jia Zheng was still on duty at this time, so he went to visit his aunt Mrs. Wang first.

Although Mrs. Wang and Mother Xue are sisters, they don't look much alike, but they have the same benevolent faces.It's just that Xue's mother is really kind, but Mrs. Wang is hard to say.

Mrs. Wang and Mother Xue have been close since her boudoir, they are sisters after all, and Mrs. Wang plotted against Mother Xue's marriage back then, so she felt a little more guilty towards her sister, and thus became more close.Xue Pan is also a nephew, before he did those stupid things, Mrs. Wang saw him for the first time, and naturally she saw that he was fine everywhere.

She asked a lot about Xue Pan, then asked Xue's mother, and then asked Baochai. She heard that everything was fine, and she couldn't be happier.This is really joyful.Xue Pan then relayed the greetings from Mother Xue and Baochai to Mrs. Wang, and talked affectionately for a long time.With Mrs. Qi as a comparison, it can be seen that Mrs. Wang is a real aunt.

It was almost noon, and Mrs. Wang looked at the sun, so she asked the maid to ask Jiamu.Over there, it was said that Jia Mu was talking to the girls, so Mrs. Wang took Xue Pan to greet Jia Mu.

At this time, the girls around Jia's mother had avoided going out. After all, Xue Pan was the nephew of Mrs. Wang's natal family, and his relationship with the rest of Jia's family was a bit distant.

Xue Pan bowed to Jia Mu respectfully and presented the gift list. Xue Pan smiled and asked a delicate girl beside her to pick it up. Xue Pan secretly glanced at it, fearing that this might be a mandarin duck. "It's hard for you to come all the way from Jinling at such a young age. Are the family members in your hometown all right?"

Mother Jia is asking about the twenty-families of the Jia and Shi families who live in Jinling.
