Because of the previous incident, Xue Pan was serious and honest for a while, even if there was Xiu Mu, he didn't go out of the house to mess around, but obediently accompanied Heizi to practice martial arts and calligraphy.Seeing this, Xue's father was very comforted.

It's just that with Xue Pan's temperament, he can't be idle.However, after a month or so, he returned to his normal state, but at this moment, he no longer dared to go to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.He learned a good job, bought a troupe of small operas himself, and kept them in the outer courtyard. Whenever he had a good repertoire, he would ask them to entertain Xue's mother, but Xue's father never objected.

Heizi's daily life is very regular, even when he takes a bath once every ten days, except for going out with Xue Pan occasionally, he never relaxes.Only recently, Heizi was thinking about where to take Pan'er to play on the next holiday.In fact, he despised Xue Pan's group of little actors. He always felt that there were a few evil spirits in their eyebrows and eyes, and they looked like foxes. He was really worried that Pan'er would mix with them.

Originally, Xue Pan only went out to hang out every ten days, but he also went to the land once in a while. Now that he has raised this troupe of small operas, he has nothing to do on weekdays. Xue Pan will go there occasionally. Art Direction".Naturally, he came up with such things as "British War Ruble", "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", and "Beat the Bone Demon", which means that Hei Zi doesn't like these little actors, but he likes operas.

But what he didn't understand was that Xue Pan also often arranged some so-called "inner house notes".The son who molested the girl next to the mistress, and caused the girl to die tragically because of his irresponsibility; the son who liked to eat the rouge on the lips of the girl, but didn't like books, and even rejected the imperial examinations, and ended up poor; cousins Siblings and brothers get married, the kind and evil mother-in-law discusses the daughter-in-law, and the cousin admires others.There is also some classic wit and beauty repertoire, and privately added the ending of a man who has achieved success, abandoned his wife, and climbed another branch.There are really countless dramas of this type.Even a housewife like Aunt Xue was shocked and secretly sighed.

Although Heizi doesn't like these things, but because he is afraid that Pan'er will be fascinated by those little dramas, he always has to accompany him with a cold face.It's just that I'm afraid of holding Xue Pan and making him lose it, so it's not good to hinder his interest.

Xue's mother is a housewife, and it is said that she has no heart, otherwise she is obviously the second daughter, but she married Xue's father, who is slightly older, but the older Mrs. Wang entered the Hou's mansion, and she also It was because of the love between husband and wife all these years that she never thought about the unreasonableness of this.

There is also the Xue family who is wealthy, but the inner house has always been very clean. Xue's mother has been the head of the family since Xue's mother came, and she always acts straightforwardly.Therefore, whether it is to the family members or outsiders, there is a kindness, which makes Xue Pan have a little idea of ​​Xue's mother.At least, she can no longer be deceived by her good sister.

Xue's mother has always been kind-hearted, her husband is loving, her son is worry-free, and her daughter is considerate.The only thing she worried about was the young girl's body, which was also solved by a potion from the monk Laitou.Looking at her daughter's round and round face now, thinking that although the monk's prescription is weird and rare, it was actually collected by Xue's father in the past two years, thinking that this prescription is destined for her daughter, so she also Just let go of this piece of mind.

When Xue Pan came to pay his respects to Mother Xue, he saw Baochai who came out rarely.Now Baochai is six years old. Looking at her eyebrows, one can see how clever she will be in the future.Xu was sick from urinating and drinking soup and medicine, so Baochai was much more sensible than her peers.I also saw many tears of Xue's mother, and it was a daughter's family, so she was born with closeness and consideration for her mother.

Seeing that Baochai greeted Xue's mother like a little adult, Xue Pan said hello to himself, and then, under Xue's mother's greeting, he took small steps and sat next to Xue's mother. Fang smiled and said, "Baochai, this It's a new thing that my brother got outside, what is it called "diorama" or "diorama", I think it's a bit interesting, you can play with it."

In fact, Baochai already has one of these things, and it was given to him by Xue's father, his favorite daughter.But Baochai didn't mention it, but took it happily, thanked his elder brother Xue Pan cheerfully, and taught Xue's mother how to play this thing with great interest.Seeing his sister happy, Xue Pan was also happy.

After talking with Xue's mother for a while, because he still had to go to Mr. Shi's class, Xue's mother gave him a few words and sent him away.After leaving Mother Xue's yard, he saw Heizi waiting for him from a distance, so he was even happier.

Xue Pan was moved out of Xue's mother's yard by Xue's father since he was five years old, and lived alone in the yard.According to Xue's father, if a boy is older than a woman, and he must not be weak, and there are servants in the family, even if he lives alone, he will not be wronged.

Xue Pan's courtyard has only two big girls who take care of Xue Pan's daily life, and now they are married to the servants of the mansion, so they don't live in Xue Pan's courtyard on weekdays.Moreover, although Xue Pan is used to enjoyment, he is not used to having others take care of everything. Most of the personal things are done by himself.Now that there is Heizi, the two of them go in and out together, sleep together, Heizi has always been close to Xue Pan, taking care of Xue Pan, and he will not pretend to be someone else.

It has been five winters and summers since Heizi came to Xue's house, now Xue Pan and Heizi can already be called young men.Heizi's face was originally clear and handsome, but now he has lost the immaturity of his childhood and now has a resolute expression.But Xue Pan still has that round appearance, with two romantic attitudes in his eyebrows and eyes.

This year just entered the winter, and the uncle of the Xue family, who has been doing business abroad all year round, came back with Shen Ke and brought a pair of underage children.

Xue Pan didn't have a deep impression of this hall uncle. After all, this businessman has been away all year round, and he only came back once in a while, and it was only when he was talking to Father Xue, he came to say hello.On the contrary, Xue Biao, the uncle's son, has been familiar with him since he was a child. Children's friendship is often a matter of one piece of cake and two pieces of candy.

Xue Biao's father and Xue's father are cousins, but Xue Biao's ancestor died young, and Xue Pan's grandfather adopted his uncle. side.Uncle Xue and Father Xue have been in touch with each other, and have always had a good relationship, so this time he had a premonition that he would die soon, leaving a pair of immature children to depend on each other, so Uncle Xue planned to entrust them to Father Xue.

Knowing that his cousin would pass away soon, Father Xue was also grieved, and sought many doctors to come for diagnosis and treatment, but in the end he still couldn't save his life.Father Xue couldn't help worrying that many men in Xue's family died early, and he didn't know when it would happen to him.

But it's useless to worry about this at this time. We still have to think carefully about how to arrange the brothers and sisters Xue Biao.

With the financial resources of the Xue family, not to mention the pair of brothers and sisters Xue Tiaobaoqin, even if there are hundreds of pairs of children, they can afford to support them.What's more, there is also the money left by Xue Biao's father, even if he only lives on it, it will last for several generations.It's just that Father Xue thought about something else.

Xue Tada's age photo is younger than Xue Pan's, but he is extremely talented in reading.If he were an ordinary merchant, Xue Biao didn't have the brains of his father, and he would just be a rich man in the future.If you want to go further, it is difficult.Now let's talk about the plan with Xue Biao first, let's see him whether to try or not.

After a series of ceremonies such as condolences, small burials, coffins, large burials, crying funerals, funerals, and burials, and a hundred days later, Xue's father called Xue Biao and Xue Pan to come.

The eldest uncle of the Xue family has few heirs, and Xue Biao is young, so the closest to his family is Father Xue's lineage.So Xue's father presided over the memorial ceremony, and sent Xue Pan to help take care of it.

Glancing at his nephew, who was wearing a plain jacket, with five points of color on his face, Xue's father was also distressed, but he had to raise the question at this time for Xue Biao to think about it.He called Xue Pan to come together, but he wanted to let him learn things earlier, so that if he had a day...he wouldn't be flustered.

"Xiao'er, your father mentioned this to me before he was alive, but I thought it was too early to make a decision, but I just didn't think about it... Now, it depends on what you want." Father Xue then told Xue Biao about the change of nationality. Pros and cons, for his reference.

However, Xue Biao seemed to have the answer long ago. The death of his father made the child mature a lot overnight.Xue Biao gave Xue's father a deep bow, and first said, "Uncle cares, and Biao'er is very grateful." Then he said, "Xianshi's father..." Xue Biao choked up, and then said, "Xianshi's father also I once mentioned this matter to my nephew. Although I passed the imperial examination after changing my nationality, I am afraid that it will be limited in the future. My nephew thought, my nephew is always stupid and has no talent in business, but it is rare that he is so proficient in poetry Lingqiao. After all, it is a big matter for the whole family, and my nephew wants to listen to my uncle."

Father Xue nodded, it was beyond his expectation that Xue Biao could say these words.

"Imperial examinations are not something that happens overnight. Although there are no restrictions on merchants' scientific examinations today, what they can do in the future is limited. Rather than letting people make decisions on this matter in the future, it is better to change their nationality directly. Our family can also donate officials, but I think Now, merchants can also donate officials, but there is no need to take the imperial examinations. However, the officials of all dynasties have taken the road of imperial examinations, and imperial examinations are the right way."

Xue Biao listened carefully and was taught.Father Xue told him to pack up his things again, and moved to Xue's residence together with Xue Baoqin.

He resisted his refusal, "Although your father had assigned the house earlier, our house is not an outsider, and there are no such taboos. You just live in peace of mind. I have already given you a house on the edge of Pan'er's yard." In a quiet courtyard, Baoqin asked her to live with your aunt and sister, also as a companion. Now that your father is gone, I know you are a filial man, and you must be thinking of staying at home for his funeral. But your brother and sister After all, Baoqin needs to be taught by someone when you are young. I am really worried about you living alone at home. Besides, since you want to take a scientific examination, there is a Mr. Shi in my house who is very knowledgeable, so you can go with your brother It’s not out of line to learn from him.”

Seeing that Father Xue had made all the arrangements, Xue Biao didn't dare to refuse any more, and agreed softly.

It will be the spring of the second year when Xue Tiaobaoqin's brothers and sisters are all settled.The Xue family spent the whole year in mourning, not to mention the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, even fish, meat and meat were saved.After all, Xue's father and Xue's uncle are relatives who have not left the fifth service. Although they are one level away, they are one level away from Xue Pan's place.However, Xue's father and Xue's family uncle were good friends on a daily basis, and they also stayed with Xue Biao for a whole year in earnest. It was not until the eve of the New Year's Eve of the next year that mourning clothes were removed.

Xue Pan really admired the respect the ancients showed to their ancestors when they kept their filial piety. Although he couldn't do this himself, he didn't think the ancients were pedantic with his narrow concept.From Xue Pan's point of view, Xue Biao is a son of man, nearly two years younger than himself. He has been a vegetarian for this year. In addition to studying and practicing martial arts, he has to copy an hour of filial piety every morning and evening to worship his ancestors. It is really admirable that I have never complained about exhaustion.

Father Xue is a younger brother and also the head of the Xue family, so there is no need to mourn for his cousin for a year.But he can also wear plain clothes and avoid meat, even if he is far away from Xue's mother.

Moreover, what they did was not for others to see, let alone to win some good reputation.They want to do this from the bottom of their hearts to show respect for their ancestors.For a person like Xue Pan who is heavy on appetite and pleasure, he occasionally needs to eat some meat, or joke with others, even if Xue's father or Xue Biao sees them, they will only smile quietly, and will not say anything to stop him or against.

They follow their heart, and they will not force others to do the same as they do, as long as they don't make a big deal.

Whenever Xue Pan can't do it himself, but others can do, he will feel admiration, this is also Xue Pan's sincerity.
