Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

The conversation was divided into two parts. Here, Xue Pan led the people back to Xue’s house. The housekeeper Zhou Da immediately came up to meet him, knelt in front of him, hugged his leg and cried bitterly. Xue Pan didn’t know how to deal with his loss of composure. .

When he was almost crying, Zhou Da wiped his tears and stood up, still kept looking at Xue Pan, as if he wanted to see some traces of his bad life outside.Not to mention that he really noticed it, "Master has lost weight, and his complexion is not as good as before."

Although Xue Pan in the past could not be said to be white and fat, at least he looked like a pampered young master from a wealthy family.Now, not only is his skin tanned, but his brows are also a bit tired and haggard. He has also lost a lot of weight and looks more angular, gradually showing a bit of a young man's appearance.

"It's just that I'm not used to running back and forth, it's fine to rest for a few days." Xue Pan said indifferently.

Zhou Da muttered a few more words before saying, "Why didn't anyone tell me when the uncle came back? Yesterday, the wife sent a letter from Beijing, saying that the uncle left without saying goodbye, and the wife was so anxious that she almost came forward in person. Fortunately, the girl persuaded her. It’s just that the wife is really worried, and she wants the old servant to say something when she sees the uncle: she doesn’t have many days left, and she just wants to guard the uncle and the girl, so that the uncle will also think about it.”

Xue Pan's scalp tingled when he heard that, and he said quickly, "Why don't I want to guard my mother and sister for a long time? It's just that these things have to be handled by someone. According to me, since the matter of my sister's draft is over, it's better to move Come back to Jinling.—This is the ancestral land after all, and our family’s foundation is here. Although the capital is good, can it compare to this place?"

The more Xue Pan said, the more he felt that this idea was good.Baochai was supposed to participate in the draft this spring, but because His Majesty in the palace was ill and the government and the public were shaken, it was naturally not suitable for a grand draft at this time, so the matter was put on hold for the time being.This stop may take a long time, and when it is time to select another candidate, Baochai's age may no longer be appropriate.

Originally, he went to Beijing to send his younger sister to be selected. Of course, it is not ruled out that Xue Pan himself has some intentions of admiring the prosperity of the capital.However, the draft is suspended now, and the capital has experienced it, and Xue Pan is now thinking of Bo Yang in Suzhou, so naturally he doesn't want to stay there, and prefers to return to Jinling.

Zhou Da had lived in Jinling all his life, and he agreed with this statement, but said, "I'm afraid my wife won't come back."

Xue Pan was surprised, "Why don't you want to?"

Although Aunt Xue lived comfortably in the capital during this time, she was not at home after all, so she was not so comfortable after all.

Zhou Dao said, "The villain can't tell exactly what is going on. It's just that the people close to my wife's family are all in the capital. I think they get along well, so I'm reluctant to leave. Besides..." Zhou Da took a look at Xue Pan, and said cautiously, "The villain dared to guess, the uncle and the girl are getting older, I am afraid that the wife will start to worry about your affairs."

Although he said that he didn't know it was just a guess, but as the housekeeper of the Xue family, he naturally had his own way of grasping the master's mind.

Xue Pan froze for a moment before realizing that Zhou Da was talking about his marriage with Baochai.

But he quickly passed himself by, and said, "Even if you are thinking about my sister's marriage, you don't have to stay in the capital. Could it be that there are no good people in this world other than the capital?"

Seeing a bit of hesitation on Zhou Da's face, he immediately said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhou Daodao, "Madam has been living here with the girl in Jia's house. I heard that the second master Bao of Jia's family was born with jade in his mouth. He is very handsome and gets along with his sisters very well on weekdays."

When Xue Pan heard the words, a sullen expression appeared on his face.He understood Zhou Da's meaning. He was afraid that his mother and younger sister had taken a fancy to Baoyu, so they wanted to stay in the capital to make this marriage!

However, when Xue Pan was cheated by someone in the capital last time, he also met Baoyu several times during the banquet.Later, something happened, and even these people hated them more and more, and Baoyu was naturally among them.Now hearing that he was the one his mother and sister were looking for, I felt a little bit reluctant in my heart.

He sneered and said, "The Second Master Bao of their family is of course very good, but our girls are not top-notch, are they inferior? Even if we have to pick, we should pick others, not others to pick us !"

If it was in the past, Xue Pan thought that Baoyu should have been an excellent person, but now there is another Bo Yang among the people he associates with. In Xue Pan's eyes, he is good in everything, and no one else can match him in any way. worthy.In this way, the vision is broadened.

What's more, after careful investigation, although Baoyu is good, she is still childish now. She only knows how to eat, drink and play every day, and hang out in the pile of makeup, but she doesn't even want to study.Although Xue Pan himself doesn't like it, he is considered to be in contact with the family business now. He has suffered several losses and knows that making a living is difficult.The title of the Jia family is not the second wife. If Baoyu will not be an official or run a business in the future, will he go to fight with Xibeifeng?

His younger sister is also like a heavenly being, and she is intelligent, calm, smart and sensible. Even if she had to choose a husband-in-law, she had to choose the best one in the world, such as... Brother Yang.

Thinking of this, Xue Pan immediately felt as if he had found a solution.If she married her younger sister to Bo Yang, wouldn't she be able to get along with him for a long time?However, apart from being happy, Xue Pan felt a little unhappy, because at that time, the closest person around Bo Yang would still not be himself, but his sister.Baochai's good Xue Pan knows it best, and even Bo Yang has absolutely nothing he doesn't like.Perhaps at that time, he could no longer hold himself in his eyes.

Because of this, he sighed a few times, and hated that he was not a daughter, otherwise he might have been born like a younger sister, and standing beside Bo Yang would never lose color, maybe Bo Yang would value himself more.

Xue Pan thought about it for a while, and felt a little lost in his heart. He still needed to be cautious when deciding to marry his younger sister.Anyway, my sister is still young, so she is not in a hurry.But when it comes to age, Xue Pan suddenly remembered that Bo Yang has turned 15 this year, so he is considered a grown-up!

Even his mother started to worry about his marriage, Bo Yang was two years older than him, so naturally he was more anxious.Although there are no elders in his family to take care of him, but a handsome man like him, a family with a good daughter, might rush to invite a matchmaker to come for a kiss!

When this thought came together, Xue Pan felt as if struck by lightning, unable to recover for a long while.

He even had the idea of ​​going to Suzhou to watch Bo Yang immediately, lest Bo Yang be predestined by others during his stay in Jinling.However, thinking about the goal Bo Yang set for himself, and thinking about it, even if he went, if Bo Yang wanted to make a decision, it seemed that he couldn't stop him, and he was discouraged again.

Or marry her to Bo Yang?

No, now is not the time to worry about these things. You should first solve the task that Bo Yang entrusted to you. Thinking of this, Xue Pan immediately said to Zhou Dao, "I will write a letter later, you go to the capital in person, please Mrs. Come back with the girl."

"Then what is the uncle doing?" Zhou Da hurriedly asked, "If the wife asks, I can answer."

"What happened last time is over in the capital, but this matter is not over yet." Bo Yang said, "Besides, you can't push everything to my younger brother. I have to stay and help. Otherwise, it would be really annoying. I thought our room was empty.”

Hearing that Xue Pan wanted to make progress, Zhou Da was overjoyed.The old butler had a very simple idea in his heart that elders who dote on their juniors usually have: My xxx is just not paying attention.

Although this kind of trust seems very blind, it also contains the love of the other party.So Zhou Da was so happy that he was about to cry at this moment. He raised his hand and wiped his eyes and said, "It's a good thing that the uncle wants to make progress. Even if the wife finds out, she can only be happy. The old slave will go to Beijing alone, and it will be a good thing." Bring the wife and the girl back."

Xue Pan went to the study to write a letter, handed it to Zhou Da, and then went to Xue Bian.

Speaking of which, before Bo Yang reminded him, Xue Pan really never thought that he had pushed a big/trouble to Xue Biao, and now he felt a little uncomfortable seeing someone.Fortunately, Xue Biao didn't care, and took the initiative to say that family affairs should be under his control, and he would be a helper beside him.

Xue Pan said, "I know who I am. I'm afraid I will trouble you to take care of these things in the future. We are a family, and we don't need to divide between you and me. Since it is given to you, it is yours. Brother and I How can I come back again? Besides, apart from the business in the middle school, we also have a few small businesses, which is enough for me to worry about."

When he came back, Zhou Tianran did not continue to deal with the property in his hand.Fortunately, this thing is not so easy to sell, otherwise it would be really tricky.

……

Bo Yang stayed in Jinling for a few days, and after arranging everything, he boarded the boat again and brought his goods back to Suzhou.

After he left, the shopkeeper of the inn sent someone to send a box he left behind to Xue's house.

——It is said to be a box, but it is actually long and heavy, and I don’t know what is inside.Because the box was sealed so well, the innkeeper didn't even think about opening it.Because Bo Yang told him before he left, as long as he delivered the things to Xue's family and explained clearly where they came from, Xue's family would naturally have a lot of reward money.

Xue's family is a big family in Jinling, the shopkeeper naturally knew about it, so he didn't have any doubts, and when Bo Yang left, he sent the things over.

Hearing that someone gave him something, it was an uncle surnamed Bai, Xue Pan almost thought he had heard wrong.
