Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Bo Yang couldn't help shaking his head at this situation.

It seemed that Xue Pan would pop out of the room the next moment to greet him.

I don't know how Xue Pan did it. During the time he lived here, as soon as Bo Yang appeared, he would immediately follow him, as if he was waiting there all the time, just waiting for Bo Yang to glance over. .

He was used to having such a person by his side, but suddenly disappeared, Bo Yang admitted that he was really not used to it for a while.

Forget where you saw a sentence before, get used to this kind of thing, you will only notice its existence after you have lost something.

However, until they opened the door and entered the house, no one came out to say hello.

Xuan'er glanced at Bo Yang, but remained calm and did not speak.If it was in the past, he could not wait to go over to inquire about the news, but he has been with Bo Yang for more than half a year. Bo Yang intends to train him, so he is willing to teach and talk about everything. Showing a bit of anticipation, but just looking at Bo Yang, without opening his mouth.

"Go and see if you want." Bo Yang said.He didn't admit that he was also a little curious about what Xue Pan was up to.

After a while, Xuan'er brought back a piece of news that was beyond Bo Yang's expectations. It turned out that the yard next door had been sold again!

During the time when the two of them were lingering in Taihu Lake, someone from Xue's family came to move some things, and then sold the yard.Today, people coming in and out over there are people who bought a new yard and are about to move in.

After Xuan'er finished talking about what she had inquired about, she looked at Bo Yang worriedly.

Even when he heard the news, he still found it unbelievable, let alone his own uncle who was on good terms with Uncle Xue?It's nothing to sell the house, but it's a bit too much not to leave a word of news.After all, he promised himself that he would come back, but it was fine if he didn't come back, and he sold all his property, what is that?

Bo Yang had to admit that he was really stuck in his heart, and it was very uncomfortable not to be able to get up or down.But after all, he has always kept some reservations in his relationship with Xue Pan, so he won't be hurt.It's just that I don't know whether to be grateful for my foresight, or to lament that even ancient people's hearts were not so good.

Seeing Xuan'er's worried face, he couldn't help being a little funny, "What's your expression? The yard belongs to someone else's house. Whether it's rented, sold, or demolished, it's up to him."

"But..." Xuan'er still wanted to talk, but Bo Yang waved his hands and said, "Wake up, let's not talk about other people's affairs, let's talk about it after we settle here."

No one has lived in it for nearly a month, and the house looks very deserted, and it is full of dust everywhere. It is impossible to live in it without tidying it up.So Xuan'er heard the words, and she really didn't pursue the matter of Xue's family anymore, rolled up her sleeves and started to prepare for the cleaning.

After a while, neighbors saw the movement here and came over to help.The family next door has just moved in. They don't know what happened, so they are not in a hurry to visit.As for Bo Yang, seeing that he was about to tidy up the house, everyone gathered here.

While doing things, he also talked about the people next to him.Bo Yang listened to a few words from the side, and he had some understanding of the new neighbors.

It turned out that this man was a scholar, his name was Chen Mingjin, and he was well-known in Suzhou City far and near.Originally, he was also born in a country gentleman's family, but his fate was weak, so he lost his parents early and was raised by his grandfather.His grandfather passed away the year before last, and he has been keeping his filial piety ever since.Because he himself was determined to be born in an examination room, and he was not involved in production, and he didn't know how to run a business. Just this year, the rural examination started, so he simply sold his family business and moved to the city to rent a house to live in.

It just so happened that the Xue family wanted to sell the house next door, and the two parties hit it off immediately, and the matter was settled.

By the way, Bo Yang also inquired about the Xue family. It turned out that the people who came to sell the house were only the old family members who stayed in Jinling. According to the information inquired by the neighbors, the three masters of the Xue family should still be in Beijing and have not returned.

But even so, Bo Yang couldn't feel a little better.Or rather, the news made him even more depressed.

A servant cannot do things like sell a house on his own, and it is impossible without the permission of the master.The masters of the Xue family have never been back in the capital, so they must have sent a letter back to let them handle the property here.

Since the letter was sent back, but there was no news for him, that's fine. The house in Suzhou was bought by Xue Pan himself. Now it's up to him to sell it.However, he didn't say he would deal with it himself, and he didn't even say hello. It seemed that he was eager to put aside the relationship between the two.

It doesn't matter what the facts are like, and what Xue Pan experienced in the capital is also not important.Bo Yang didn't believe that he would be unable to control himself if he went to the capital. In this case, even if it wasn't his idea, he must know about it.Knowing and letting it happen was enough for Bo Yang to understand what he meant.

Bo Yang was actually a little annoyed.

After all, although he wanted to alienate Xue Pan at the beginning because of the plot, but after going through a series of things, he finally couldn't hold back and involved himself in it.Although it's not to the point where he doesn't care about himself for the sake of Xue Pan, he still does his best.

In the end, Xue Pan reciprocated him like this, how could it not make people angry?

What's more, before he left, he was still reluctant to part with him, and made a vow, acting as if Bo Yang was very important to him, but didn't his heart change after a few months?

Is it just the alluring eyes in Beijing's colorful world, or is Xue Pan's so-called affection just a short-lived infatuation with his appearance?

But no matter what it is, Bo Yang doesn't intend to pursue it, nor does he intend to pay attention to it.

The good mood brought by the delicious food and the beautiful scenery disappeared, and Bo Yang was unwilling to think about this matter because he was annoyed by not knowing someone. He just pretended that he had never known such a person before.

This story tells us that it is important for a person to have self-knowledge, otherwise, if you do your best for others, they will only think you are a fool!

Fortunately, he has plenty to keep busy.Bo Yang, who didn't want to stay here, took Xuan'er out again after returning home for a few days.

This time they are going to collect the cloth below.At this time, there were many kinds of fabrics in the Jiangnan area. In addition to silk, they also collected other cotton and Gebu.Even if it is only purchased in the Suzhou area, it will take a lot of time.

Since then, the south of the Yangtze River has been warmer. Although it has just entered summer, the weather is already a little hot. Fortunately, the boat is on the water, and the breeze is blowing, so Dao doesn't feel very uncomfortable.Bo Yang originally had fine white skin, but after being exposed to the sun for a while, he looked healthier.However, the body under the clothes was still white and clean, and it looked a little ridiculous when the clothes were taken off.

Bo Yang himself didn't take it seriously, and even planned to find a place where no one was around to sunbathe his whole body sometime, so as to even out his skin.To him, such a complexion is just a bit masculine.

However, Xuan'er was very distressed, "How good is it for the uncle to be exposed to the sun like this? I don't know if I can cover it up in winter. They are all small and useless. I can't share the burden with the uncle, so I have to do these things in person. , really hard work."

"What kind of hard work is this?" Bo Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "There are others doing other things, and I just bask in the sun. If I can't even bear this little bit of hardship, how can I earn a fortune?"

"A character like uncle deserves to be blessed." Xuan'er said, "Going out and running around on the road like this, and enduring the wind, frost, rain and snow, isn't it hard work?"

Bo Yang smiled, "How can Tian in this world be born to be a person who enjoys blessings? Don't talk about others, let's just say that Xue Pan..." Bo Yang himself was startled when he said this name, but he only gave a slight smile. After a pause, he continued, "Their Xue family is also rich and honored by generations of people. You can see that he can sit at home safely and enjoy happiness?"

Xuan'er took a peek at Bo Yang's face, and saw that he was not unhappy because of mentioning Xue Pan, so he said, "It's because Mr. Xue can't control his servants. If it were our uncle, it would definitely not be like this. Mr. Even if you sit at home, you can take care of things. How did you say that, in the curtain..."

"While strategizing and winning thousands of miles away?" Bo Yang smiled and said, "I didn't know I was so powerful."

Probably only Xuan'er praised him so bluntly, treating him as the most powerful person in the world, which made people both funny and moved.

Xuan'er was not happy, "Master is very powerful. Didn't he be able to deal with the matter at Uncle Xue's house last time? I think that Uncle Xue is heartless. Fortunately, Uncle Xue has been so kind to him. I went there but there was no news at all, it is really hateful!"

These words must have been held in his heart for a long time, but he was worried about Bo Yang, afraid that he would be unhappy when Xue Pan's name was mentioned, so he covered it up and dared not complain.This time Bo Yang mentioned Xue Pan's name himself, and he said it all at once.

Bo Yang sighed, patted Xuan'er's little head, "Silly boy." Why are you so sincere?

But he turned to himself in his heart, so Bo Yang was naturally happy.After all, being a human being is not such a failure, there are still people who remember their own benefits.

However, it turns out that there are some people in this world who cannot be mentioned.Originally thousands of miles away, maybe as soon as his name was mentioned, he would suddenly pop up in front of his eyes.
