Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord
Chapter 30
"Mom said this, but 'increasing the ambition of others, destroying one's own prestige'. Since my brother has such a heart, no matter whether it is true or not, whether it is for a while or for a long time, you have to try it. Besides, I thought, although my brother is confused A little bit, but it’s not absurd in terms of major issues. Maybe now that I’m older and have experienced things, I’ve gotten the hang of it? Even if it’s not, but Mom just keeps him working hard at home, and he can always make some progress. As long as my elder brother can stand up, it means that our mother and son will be dependable for life. Why is Mom hesitating?" Baochai said with a smile.
These words were really well-founded, and they went straight to Aunt Xue's heart, and even her heart disease that was inconvenient to speak had an answer.
As she got older, she was able to plan for her daughter for a while, but in the final analysis, after a hundred years, she would still have to rely on her natal brothers for support.
——Don't talk about anything else, just talk about herself and Mrs. Wang.When her master was alive, it wasn't that there were no people in the house, but he didn't leave a single heir, and he attached great importance to the two children he gave birth to.Even if Pan'er does not live up to expectations, the family business is still in his hands.As for Mrs. Wang, as the wife of the second room, she takes care of the family affairs. Even the daughter-in-law of the first room has to set rules in front of her, and the old lady has to face in front of her. Although there are two aunts in Jia Zheng's house, Jia Huan took advantage of her. conceived during childbirth.
If it wasn't for the support of her natal family, if her brother Wang Ziteng hadn't been promoted all the way, how could she and Mrs. Wang have the prestige they have now?Looking at Mrs. Xing, who has no support from her natal family in Dafang, and Youshi, who has no support from her natal family in the East Mansion, the comparison is not shocking.
In the final analysis, Baochai will still have to rely on his elder brother in the future. If Xue Pan can't stand up, no matter how good the marriage is, it won't be able to keep people from changing their minds.And as long as Xue Pan is promising, his own sister will naturally not have to worry about finding a good family.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue finally made up her mind, and went to the old lady's side to ask for resignation early the next morning.
Baochai also followed and bid farewell to the sisters. This time when they return to Jinling, they don't know when they will see each other again. The little girls have not experienced a few separations so far, and they all feel bad when they learn about this.
After being silent for a while, Daiyu said, "When people get together, they will disperse. Sister Bao has gone back to her own home. It's the best thing. We should be happy for her."
Lin Daiyu's nature likes to disperse and not to get together, so these words are quite detached.Furthermore, Baochai's departure has aroused something in her mind.
It's just that although the two usually live as guests in Jia's mansion, Baochai still has her mother by her side, and now that she has to go back to her own home, she is naturally more at ease.On the contrary, she herself has only one old father in the family, and her body is not very strong, so she can't be filial to others, but has to take care of others.
Although everyone in Jia's mansion treated her well, and the old lady valued her, she always compared everything to Baoyu, but compared other sisters to the past.However, in her heart, she still had something on her mind.So when I say this now, I am really happy for Baochai, and I am really envious and sighing.
But Baoyu's nature is to wish to be together for a long time. When he heard that Baochai was going to leave, he was already full of sadness, and when he heard Daiyu's words again, he felt very harsh.Yin said, "For example, what you said is inappropriate. Could it be that Sister Bao only thinks about going home and doesn't think about us?"
When Daiyu heard this, she was immediately annoyed, "Why don't you let Sister Bao go home?"
"Of course I didn't mean that. It's just that sister Bao is alone when she goes back. How can she feel comfortable here? According to me, brother Xue is really confused. Anyway, there is no one in your family, and it is deserted when you arrive in Jinling. Wouldn't it be nice if all of us stay here and we can all be reunited?" Baoyu said.
Baochai's complexion changed slightly after hearing this.It's just that she is always considerate and doesn't want to quarrel over such things, so she just doesn't say a word.
But Daiyu was disturbed, and sneered, "What kind of bastard talk is this, I have never heard of it! Is your family the only one in the world? She has her own home, no matter how bad it is, she will go back. What's more, the Xue family It is also from the Jinling family, with a big family and a prosperous business, and many people are eager for Sister Bao to go back. For example, those of us who have no family can't leave here, and we can only let others abuse us!" As he said, tears rolled down He got down, covered it with a veil, turned around and left.
Baoyu regretted her slip of the tongue, wanted to chase Daiyu, and worried about Baochai's place. It was really a dilemma.
Baochai hurriedly said, "Sister Lin is the most careful, Baoyu, why don't you go and persuade people?" He thought that he was just saying something different, but he caused a quarrel between the two enemies, which was both angry and funny. .
Jia Baoyu is the phoenix egg of the family, and half of the family revolves around him.Now that he had a rift with Daiyu, the others were inevitably a little uneasy.Baochai felt a little sorry for having caused such a disturbance for no reason.Anyway, I didn't have much intention of parting, so I got up and said goodbye.
When I got out of the door, I thought about today's events carefully, thinking of Daiyu's words just now, I couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.
When Baochai came to Jia's house, Daiyu had already lived here for more than a year, and got on well with everyone around her.As soon as Baochai came, he took half of the autumn scenery away, and Daiyu was so depressed that she couldn't help but carry a little bit of it in her words.Baochai didn't realize it at first, but gradually she understood.Therefore, she treats Daiyu more politely than others on weekdays, claiming that she doesn't like her.
However, with today's words, it seems that she understands her own heart, and she is the only one.
But maybe it's also because both of them are dependent on others.It's just that she still has a home to go back to, and her brother will send someone to pick her up, but she can't.Thinking about it this way, I feel that it is justifiable to treat those sensitive thoughts in my heart, and it is even more regrettable.She and Baoyu are best friends on weekdays, but even Baoyu doesn't understand her heart, nor does she know what the future will be like.
On Aunt Xue's side, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wang naturally couldn't stay, so they had to prepare gifts to send them off.Aunt Xue declined repeatedly, so she only prepared some specialties of the capital so that she could take them home and distribute them to others.
So a few days later, the mother and daughter, together with the servants of the family who had gone to Beijing, set off for Jinling again.
……
Because there are female relatives, the road is naturally slow, but Xue Pan got the letter early and asked someone to clean up the house, waiting for the mistresses to come back.
During this period of time, he has been obsessed with the ledger, but it is a pity that the progress is very slow.It's no wonder that Xue Pan is a half-baked person, and the only knowledge about property was learned when he accompanied Bo Yang to read the accounts last time, and he almost forgot it later.At this time, it is not easy for him to read the accounts independently, and it is not easy to read them whole. As for the internal problems, he can't see them at all.
Even so, in the end Xue Pan felt a little bored and didn't want to watch it anymore.At the beginning, Xingnu could use Bo Yang to motivate him, but gradually even this method was useless, and he could only hold on to it with one breath, and he might not be able to continue it when it was cut off.
Seeing his listless appearance every day, Xingnu couldn't help but come up with an idea, "Actually, it's not a solution for the uncle to look at the accounts by himself every day. It's better to hire a reliable accountant. Why don't you write to Uncle Bai and tell him consult?"
The Xue family originally had a counting house, but Xue Pan knew that someone in the family had a different heart, so he secretly bought people, so it is hard to say whether the counting house is trustworthy or not.Besides, the business of the public school was handed over to Xue Biao, and it was hard for him to ask for more staff.
Xue Pan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but he hesitated and asked, "Is this feasible?"
Xingnu patted his chest and said, "Uncle Bai only told you that you can't come to the door, but he didn't say that you can't write letters. After you finish writing, I will deliver it in person. Make sure that Uncle Bai can't make mistakes!"
Xue Pan was already moved, but when he persuaded him, he agreed.I opened my pen and ink to write a letter, but after writing a few words, I felt bad, so I rubbed it and threw it away.I wrote a few pictures all over my face, but I didn't even write the beginning.Seeing this, Xingnu asked cautiously, "Master, do you want someone to write for you?"
"Not good." Xue Pan said, "Since I want to write a letter, I can only be sincere if I write it myself. What's the point of asking someone to write it for me?" Besides, some words are really not suitable for others to help write.
It's just that he himself can't say that he is literary, even if he doesn't know many characters, he can't write them.After tossing through the book for a while, I was still not satisfied, and I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Seeing this, Xingnu said, "It's time for the uncle to invite someone to teach these things. You don't want to be well-known in poetry and books, but you will always use them in your daily life. There will still be days to write letters to Uncle Bai!"
Xue Pan said, "Who will teach? I get a headache when I read the book."
If Bo Yang taught him personally, maybe he could still learn a little bit, but now Bo Yang can't even see him face to face.
Xingnu said, "Why don't you ask Uncle Bai together, maybe he has a solution?"
When it comes to governing his own uncle, Uncle Bai is the best solution. When the time comes, he will personally deliver the letter, and he must ask Uncle Bai to come up with a way to send someone so that the uncle can continue to improve.
However, Xue Pan thought about it, felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"This is the most appropriate way," Xing Nu said quickly, "Grandpa, just think about what kind of person you are, don't you know what kind of person you are? Seeing that you are willing to make progress now, naturally you can only be happy. If you don't believe me, just think about Mrs. That's it. Knowing that the uncle is willing to make progress, the wife was so happy that she recited the Buddha for a long time, and hurried back. Uncle Bai treats the uncle with the same heart as his wife."
"What nonsense?" Hearing this, Xue Pan couldn't help but raised his hand and tapped him on the head, "Is this also comparable?"
"The little one is clumsy, talking nonsense." Xing Nu didn't tell the difference either.
But when Xue Pan thought about it seriously, it was true.After thinking about it, why didn't Bo Yang see his embarrassing appearance?Not bad this time.What's more, Brother Yang knows his difficulties, so he will realize that his time has not been wasted.With that in mind, I finally wrote the letter.
……
When Bo Yang received Xue Pan's letter, he had just returned to Suzhou.This time I went out and finally brought back all the ordered fabrics, but this breath has not yet reached the time to relax, so much material cannot be kept in the warehouse all the time, I have to hurry up and dye it, and find another home.
He has been running around since the beginning of the new year. Although he was so tired that he could barely keep going, Bo Yang felt that his body was much stronger, and the hidden injuries and deficiencies left by the original body due to years of illness were being made up for one by one. .So although the appearance looks dark and thin, it is a pity for others to look at it, but Bo Yang himself is happy.
In a good mood, when I received Xue Pan's letter, I asked Xing Nu carefully about Xue Pan's performance during this period of time. I heard that he was stumbling, but he persisted all the time. Bo Yang was surprised and added a bit of joy .In short, I have not misjudged the person. Although Xue Pan's foundation is poor, he is not unbearable.
——It's like my own body, as long as I have perseverance and perseverance, I will be able to exercise to be healthy and healthy sooner or later, and there will be no hidden dangers anymore.
Reporting such a mood, Bo Yang opened Xue Pan's letter, and immediately put his hand on his forehead, showing an expression that he couldn't bear to look directly at.Let's not mention Xue Pan's poor handwriting, the blunt choice of words and sentences made Bo Yang feel goosebumps all over his body.He shook the letter paper, and said to Xingnu, "Let your uncle write plain Chinese next time."
"Our master is just saying that he wants to learn these things," Xingnu said hurriedly, "He said he wanted to ask Master Bai for his advice, and it was written in the letter."
Bo Yang nodded to express his understanding, and then continued to look down.
After reading it, I was a little bit dumbfounded.In this letter with a total of several hundred words, Xue Pan first babbled about his longing for himself, and then mentioned other things in a few sentences, and the content was also vague. You can ask him, I'm afraid I don't understand at all.
He put down the letter, thought for a while and said, "If your uncle really has the heart, you can invite a scribe who is proficient in arithmetic to sit at home, so that you can learn both, and it will be cheaper."
"It's just that I don't know where to invite such a gentleman?" Xingnu said, "If I really have the ability, I'm afraid I don't want to be restrained to be a gentleman."
"It's not difficult. What they are looking for is just a future. Your family has relatives in Beijing. After two or three years, when your uncle has completed his studies, just write a letter of recommendation for him. Think about it. Someone will be willing." Bo Yang said.
At this time, the imperial examinations had been flooded, and there were thousands of Jinshi in each examination, plus some of the candidates who could seek officials, the number was very large.Even though there are many redundant officials in the court and they are bloated, they still cannot accommodate these many people.Therefore, the competition is very fierce. In order to seek an official position, everyone uses their own means.In addition to the necessary management, it is naturally the easiest to advance if someone is willing to support.
In the original "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Yucun was Lin Daiyu's teacher for several years, and then Lin Ruhai had to write a recommendation letter for him to Jia Zheng and plan for him, so that he could be released as the prefect of Jinling.It should be known that Jiangnan accounts for half of the world's wealth. In this utterly rich place, the magistrate is more affordable than the governors and governors elsewhere. Naturally, everyone is fighting for it. If it doesn't matter, how can there be such benefits?
Xing Nu heard the words, nodded and said repeatedly, "Uncle Bai still has an idea, we don't have a person in charge in our family, these things are always bumping into each other like chickens without a head, I really don't know where to start."
"You can't say this anymore," Bo Yang reminded lightly, "If people hear it, they will think that there is no one in your Xue family. Where are you going to put your uncle?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Xingnu quickly responded, and said, "Uncle Bai really treats our uncle with heart. Uncle knows it in his heart. Because Uncle Bai didn't allow him to come, so Yin Yin entrusted me to say hello to Uncle Bai on his behalf. He also asked if there was anything missing here, and if he couldn't find it, he could just send someone to tell him. Our family still has some face in Jinling, so we expect to find it."
He said, with a look of hesitation on his face, "However, my uncle has a sentence, and I don't know whether to say it or not."
"Since it's not appropriate to say it, then don't say it." Bo Yang said.
Xingnu was almost choked when she heard this, and quickly patted her cheek, "It's all the villain's fault, I should slap my mouth! It's just that Uncle Bai has listened to this sentence anyway, otherwise our uncle will not be able to forgive me when I go back. "
Bo Yang didn't speak.Xingnu was much worse than his master in observing words and expressions, and couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, but after thinking about it for a while, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Our uncle asks Uncle Bai if he can do it." He has tried his best, and the rest will not be completed in a short while. I wonder when he can come to Suzhou to meet him in person?"
Bo Yang laughed and said, "This is amazing, the legs are on your uncle's body, so maybe I can stop him if he wants to come?"
Xingnu thought to himself that you didn't stop him, but a word made him dare not act.After the slander was over, he was taken aback for a moment before he realized that Bo Yang was considered to be Yun!His face was full of joy, and he said again and again, "Uncle Bai is still kind, I'll go back and tell the old man now!"
As he said that, as if he was afraid that Bo Yang would go back on his word, he left in a hurry, leaving behind a cart of things that Bo Yang had brought, and Bo Yang could only let Xuan'er clean up, and distributed the unused ones to the neighbors.Although doing too much of this kind of thing will always make people feel that they are being taken advantage of, but there is no way, it can't be left in vain.
However, taking people's money to ward off disasters, since he had collected things, Bo Yang thought he should take care of it, so he picked up a copy himself, and went to the next door to knock on the door.
The scholar Chen Mingjin who lived next door, at the beginning because he lived in Xue Pan's yard, Bo Yang always felt a little strange when he saw people.However, Chen Mingjin himself is as humble as a jade, a gentleman as a bamboo, with a refined literary quality and an outstanding demeanor. He is a well-educated person full of knowledge.Although he is not familiar with general affairs, but he will not be contemptuous and contemptuous. After a long time, Bo Yang has gradually got in touch with him.
In fact, Bo Yang didn't know, it was all because of his outstanding appearance, even if he was engaged in a "low business" like a businessman, he couldn't be despised by others.After all, he only needs to stop there. It's not that his status as a businessman lowers him, but that he elevates his status as a businessman, making people feel that the career he likes is not too bad.
People are beautiful, and the ancient literati are the most straightforward and undisguised part of them.Chen Mingjin admired Boyang's elegance, so naturally he wouldn't say those boring things.
So Bo Yang occasionally discussed history and literature with him, and each felt that the other had good knowledge and got along well.
But this time, Bo Yang came to visit Chen Mingjin mainly because he hoped that he could help recommend some people who could be Xue Pan's teachers.
Chen Mingjin often participates in various literary conferences, and because of his talent and reputation, he is not only popular in Suzhou, but occasionally scholars from other places will post posts to invite him to go.Anyway, it is very convenient to take a boat, and the journey takes only a few days.Chen Mingjin doesn't have any burdens from her family now, so she can travel with a book boy.For example, Mr. Liu, a weaving doctor in Jiangning, has been to the house several times.So I know a lot of people, and the news in this circle is well-informed, so it is always right to ask him for advice.
After hearing his request, Chen Mingjin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Could it be that Brother Bai needs someone to take care of his business?"
Chen Mingjin naturally couldn't help guessing that someone who was proficient in arithmetic and even a little bit in business was invited.But according to Bo Yang's request, he is probably at least a scholar, or even a scholar.With fame and fame, it’s nothing more than teaching in a library. Who would be willing to be attached to a businessman and be a shopkeeper and accountant?
That is to be ridiculed by peers!
Even if Chen Mingjin himself is close to Bo Yang, it's okay to communicate, and it's impossible for him to accept Bo Yang's offer.
Although he could only say a word, Bo Yang already understood the twists and turns. He smiled and said, "I'm a small business here, so I'm afraid I won't be able to work for the time being. I'm enough. This time It's not for myself, it's because I have a close friend whose father died early, and my mother didn't understand these things. Seeing that the family business was about to be lost, I wanted to find a famous teacher to teach me. I don't dare to delay too much. I have two or three years of work. I want to come Enough."
"I don't know what kind of family they are?" Chen Mingjin asked after thinking about it.If it's just sitting in the library as a professor, it's not difficult.But it is best to have a well-organized family, otherwise it will be difficult.
Bo Yang said, "It's the Xue family in Jinling, brother Chen may have heard of his family's reputation?"
Chen Mingjin was a little tongue-tied, and blurted out, "Brother Bai's best friend, is that Xue Pan who is known as the overlord?!" After finishing speaking, he realized that he was impolite, and hurriedly blushed, "Brother made a mistake, please Brother Bai, don't blame me."
For a modest gentleman like him to lose his composure to this point, I'm afraid Xue Pan's reputation is really not very good.
There was a look of coldness in Bo Yang's eyes. In fact, let these people say that they probably can't tell too many bad things that Xue Pan has done. He is indeed a bit of a dandy, but he is not alone. Fan Ji, why did he spread such a reputation?
Bo Yang wouldn't believe a single word if he said that no one was contributing to the flames!
But there is no need to get angry at Chen Mingjin because of this, Bai Yang calmed down, and said, "It's him. In fact, the rumors are just rumors. Speaking of which, Brother Chen bought this house from him, and you have also contacted his servants , maybe you can get a glimpse of the family tradition, so you don't think it's so evil."
Looking back, Chen Mingjin couldn't help but feel ashamed and said, "From what Brother Bai said, it's true. It's a pity that the world will spread falsehoods, and three people become tigers! Since this is the case, I have a few candidates here to recommend to Brother Bai. There is only one point, but I want to mention it first. I heard that the Xue family also has relatives in the capital, and it would be the best if they can get a letter of recommendation when the museum closes in the future."
He is ignorant of general affairs, but he is not a nerd, so he naturally knows these rules.Opening the mouth at this moment is somewhat of a reminder to Bo Yang.
Bo Yang nodded and said, "Naturally."
The ones recommended by Chen Mingjin are naturally those who have some friendship with him and who have some accomplishments in these matters.After he told Bo Yang his name, he also promised to write a book to explain the situation to them, and ask who is interested in this, so as not to invite anyone when he visits the door.
In the end, there were two people who agreed to sit at Xue's house, so Bo Yang sent the names of both to Xue Pan and asked him to choose by himself.After all, sometimes you have to close your eyes to choose a teacher. Let Xue Pan choose by himself, and the effect will be better.
However, after getting the list from Xue Pan, he knew that Bo Yang was worrying about his own affairs, and he was overjoyed.After thinking about it, he simply invited the two together.
Hearing about this kind of behavior of local tyrants, Bo Yang had no choice but to laugh it off.
……
Bo Yang is about to move.
His new dyeing workshop is outside the city, and he was out most of the time before, but now that he is back, he spends a lot of time on the road in and out of the city every day, which is quite inconvenient.Moreover, this yard was originally rented, so I thought it would not last long.
Now that Bo Yang has a family business in Suzhou, he plans to live here.So I thought about buying a yard near the dyeing workshop outside the city to facilitate travel.Anyway, the houses there are cheap and don't cost much.
When the neighbors heard that Bo Yang was going to move out, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Since Bo Yang moved here, he has been very harmonious with his neighbors.He is such a handsome young man, who doesn't like or admire the men and women around him?Even though they knew that they couldn't get close to someone like Bo Yang, so no one mentioned the matter of getting married, but there is such a person living nearby, so it's good to see him every day!
Not to mention that Bo Yang is a generous man, he often gives out various things to everyone, he is humble and polite, and sometimes he can talk to him a few words.
Even the aunts and aunts who lived around became more harmonious after they moved here from Bo Yang.After all, when everyone gets together, it is inevitable to talk about his good points. Now that we are talking about Bo Yang, it is natural not to turn our noses and eyes, otherwise it will be offensive to him?
In this way, after a long period of time, there has been some harmony among the neighbors, and Lizheng of this fang also took a look at Bo Yanggao, taking care of him a lot on weekdays. ——For example, Bo Yang asked the unregistered person before, and he agreed to help run away when the time comes.Moreover, Bo Yang was fifteen years old, and logically he became a strong man, so he should be allocated corvees, but Lizheng helped him report a serious illness, and with a certificate issued by the Jiekou Medical Center, things went smoothly.
Now that they heard that Bo Yang was going to move out, everyone felt as if they had lost their souls, and they didn't know how to live their lives for a while.
Although he had already guessed that Bo Yang would not live here for long, when he really knew he was going to leave, he still had a question in his mind: Why did he have to leave?
It's just that Bo Yang personally brought the gift, and every family went to explain their affairs, full of sincerity, besides, they couldn't get in the way of this matter, so they had to feel sorry for it.This incident made Bo Yang feel uncomfortable, he just mentioned that the house outside the city has not yet been bought, and everyone's reaction is so big, so what if they really leave?
One day, the people from Baiyangya shop came to him and said that the house he wanted was already available, so he was invited to look at the house outside the city. ——Because Bo Yang didn't have time to find a house by himself, and he was not professional, so he entrusted this matter to a professional dental firm after Uncle Zhou's recommendation.They specialize in all kinds of middlemen in business, among them there is the business of intermediary houses for future generations, and it is very convenient to take a commission after the completion of the transaction.
While talking in the yard, the people from the dental shop boasted that the house was as high as heaven and earth, and Bo Yang was planning to go with him to have a look outside the city when he heard someone call the door.Xuan'er went to answer the door, and then hurried back, "Master, it's Mr. Xue who is here!"
When Xuan'er first met, she felt that Xue Pan was a good person. After all, he was the first person to lend a helping hand to his master and servant.After that, Xue Pan took care of Bo Yang a lot, and Xuan'er naturally had a good impression of him.
As soon as the words fell, Xue Pan had already followed behind with a lot of things, and Xing Nu behind him was carrying two large boxes.Seeing a stranger in the yard, he nodded to Bo Yang and said, "Brother Yang, do your own thing, I'll go in and put down the things."
Bo Yang nodded, let Xuan'er go in to greet him, then turned his head and said to his teeth, "I have a visitor from afar at home today, I'm afraid I won't be free." He stopped and thought for a while, and then said, "How about it, you will arrive tomorrow The dyeing workshop by the river outside the village will look for me, and I will go to see it when the time comes. Just ask the place and you will know."
Yazi also knew that today's business could not be done, so he simply went.
Only then did Bo Yang turn around and enter the room, seeing Xue Pan struggling to find out all his things and put them on the table, he couldn't help laughing, "What are you trying to do?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to live here for a while this time. Brother Yang, please don't dislike him." Seeing him, Xue Pan immediately dropped the things in his hands, moved up to move the chair for him, and asked, "Just now Who is that?"
"It's from the dental shop. I entrusted them to help buy a yard." Bo Yang said, "So you don't have to rush to move out these things. Maybe in a few days, I will move here too."
"Where is Brother Yang going to move?" Xue Pan couldn't help being shocked, and asked hastily.
Bo Yang said, "It's just outside the city. Because the dyeing workshop is there, it's inconvenient to go there, so it's better to move there."
He saw Xue Pan's face full of shock, and after a little thought, he understood what he meant.It was just because he was afraid that he would move, but he didn't know the location, so he said with a smile, "The matter has not been settled yet, otherwise I will definitely write to you."
Xue Pan's face turned pale at this moment, and he thought for a while and asked, "Is it in a village outside the city? Is the place safe? Outside the city is no better than in the city. There are people patrolling day and night, and there is a curfew, so it is difficult for accidents. In the village Without this layer of protection, if there are a few hooligans, it will disturb people's life."
In fact, Xue Pan had never seen this before?But he heard a few random words from someone, but he took Bo Yang's matter to heart, so he racked his brains to figure it out, consciously thoughtful, mature and stable, and he couldn't help looking at Xue Pan expectantly.
These words are remarkable, but the expression on the back is revealing, Bo Yang couldn't help but smiled and said, "I know, I've inquired about it these days, the atmosphere in the village is good, and there are no ruffians. .Besides, many people in the village work in the dyeing workshop, so it is expected that there will be no trouble."
"It's better to hire a group of guardians." Xue Pan said, "If you don't have a hand here for a while, I can arrange it."
When he said no advantage, he didn't mean that Bo Yang had no money, but that he couldn't find anyone available.After all, it is a heavy responsibility to take care of the home and nursing home. I am not a trustworthy person, and I dare not entrust such a thing.In a hurry, you may not be able to find a good one.
Bo Yang laughed and said, "Where is it so?"
He only has a lot of money, but he can't support so many people.Moreover, Bo Yangsu doesn't like to live with too many people, let alone the kind that he has to follow no matter where he goes.It is said that the servants of this era, even when the master and his wife have sex, some of them also wait on the sidelines.
——Because of this, most of the maids around the hostess and the maids around the mistress often easily become housemaids.You think you are so intimate, and the man is not Liu Xiahui, so eating it is not what it should be?
Thinking about this kind of thing, Bo Yang felt uncomfortable all over, he really didn't even have any *.Even Xuan'er, now he is not required to serve in front of him, but gradually train him to be a deputy.
Xue Pan saw that he didn't take it seriously, knowing that he didn't take this matter to heart, he couldn't help being very worried.
He was thinking about how to try to persuade Bo Yang to care about this matter, otherwise he would not be at ease in Jinling.As a result, this anxiety actually came up with an excellent idea for him!
When Xingnu returned from Suzhou, he got the letter of approval, and knowing that Bo Yang had allowed him to visit, he immediately hired a boat to come over.
A letter came from the capital, and he calculated the time. In about ten days, I am afraid that my mother and sister will return to Jinling. At that time, he will help settle down, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go out for a long time, so this time I made up my mind. I want to stay here in Boyang for a while.
Now when he heard that Bo Yang was going to move, he suddenly thought, why didn't he persuade Bo Yang to move to Jinling?Even if you still live outside the city, it will be much more convenient to come and take care of yourself.It is expected that with the face of the Xue family, other idlers would not dare to provoke him at will.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this idea was brilliant, so Xue Pan asked, "Brother Yang, did you buy or rent that dyeing workshop outside the city?"
"It's rented. All the money in my hand is used to buy cloth, and I can't buy it for the time being." Bo Yang said, "But in three to five years, I should be able to buy it. The owner of the dyeing workshop promised that if he wants to sell it, he will sell it first. Give me."
Xue Pan breathed a sigh of relief, luckily it was rented, if he bought it, he was afraid that Bo Yang would never leave.He said, "I didn't buy it, did Brother Yang ever think about moving to Jinling and be my companion?"
"Move to Jinling?" Hearing this, Bo Yang couldn't help being slightly stunned.
He really didn't think about it.But it's not that he has any reluctance, it's just a feeling of blind spot, because he lives in Suzhou now, so he has to choose near Suzhou.But in fact, if you think about it carefully, isn’t the reason why you came to Suzhou in the first place because of Xue Pan in Jinling?Now Xue Pan no longer needs to hide, but can take care of each other as he said.
——Xue Pan is worried about Bo Yang, and Bo Yang is not very worried about him.The inner ghost of the Xue family has not been caught yet, and Xue Pan's personality will not change, who knows what kind of obstacles will be encountered?
Seeing that he was moving, Xue Pan tried harder to persuade him.Bo Yang didn't intend to stay in Suzhou at first, but after being persuaded by him like this, he felt that it would be better to move to Jinling.It's just that all the cloth collected this year is here, and the dyeing workshop has already been rented, so I'm afraid I can't move it out in a hurry.It's time to leave and summer will pass.
As soon as he said this, Xue Pan immediately agreed, and also promised that after he went back, he could look for the house and dyeing workshop for him, and he promised that everything would be in order when he went.
When Bo Yang heard this, his heart warmed slightly, but he felt that his love for Xue Pan was not in vain.He just warned, "Just one thing, whether it's the house or the dyeing workshop, it doesn't belong to your Xue family, and you don't want to pay for it. We make friends as friends. It's better to separate in this kind of thing. This way is the way to get along for a long time. "
Although Xue Pan felt that Bo Yang was out of touch, he respected him even more because of it, thinking that with Bo Yang's ability, he didn't need to give these things himself, so he finally had to agree.
……
After talking about moving, Bo Yang asked Xue Pan why he came here.
Xue Pan explained the reason again.When Bo Yang heard that he brought his mother and sister back from the capital, he had indirectly dismantled the childhood friendship of Shuangbao CP. Without these foundations, it is hard to say whether the golden and jade marriage can be made in the future, and he couldn't help but feel Something strange.
After all, this is a direct change to the plot.However, depending on the situation, it seems that there was no force majeure that caused Xue Pan to fail.So, can the plot be changed?
Bo Yang actually didn't have much ambition, and he didn't have any intention of modifying the plot.After all, for him, he just needs to stay far away and not interfere in these matters.It's just that because of Xue Pan, he didn't care about it at all.
After all, if I have worked so hard to teach Xue Pan well, it would be too disgusting for a butterfly's wings to slap people back in the plot.
It's just that Bo Yang can't do it if he wants to leave Xue Pan alone for this reason, so what he's doing so far is just doing his best and obeying the destiny.But if the plot can be changed, then maybe I can completely pull Xue Pan out of the quagmire?
"Dream of Red Mansions" puts a lot of emphasis on the saying "predetermined by previous causes". Many things have faint metaphors in them, and many people's endings are naturally the result of fate.
Xue Pan is no exception. In the original book, both he and Liu Xianglian are typical representatives of "character determines destiny". ——It's strange to say that after I came here, I also got to know the two of them.
The downfall of the Xue family in the plot was not actually because Xue Pan was not doing his job properly, because at that time Xue Pan had already started to take people on the business roads to do business, and it seemed to be a bit of a show.However, because of his violent temperament and arrogance, he made a move when he disagreed with others, and ended up killing him by mistake.
These words were really well-founded, and they went straight to Aunt Xue's heart, and even her heart disease that was inconvenient to speak had an answer.
As she got older, she was able to plan for her daughter for a while, but in the final analysis, after a hundred years, she would still have to rely on her natal brothers for support.
——Don't talk about anything else, just talk about herself and Mrs. Wang.When her master was alive, it wasn't that there were no people in the house, but he didn't leave a single heir, and he attached great importance to the two children he gave birth to.Even if Pan'er does not live up to expectations, the family business is still in his hands.As for Mrs. Wang, as the wife of the second room, she takes care of the family affairs. Even the daughter-in-law of the first room has to set rules in front of her, and the old lady has to face in front of her. Although there are two aunts in Jia Zheng's house, Jia Huan took advantage of her. conceived during childbirth.
If it wasn't for the support of her natal family, if her brother Wang Ziteng hadn't been promoted all the way, how could she and Mrs. Wang have the prestige they have now?Looking at Mrs. Xing, who has no support from her natal family in Dafang, and Youshi, who has no support from her natal family in the East Mansion, the comparison is not shocking.
In the final analysis, Baochai will still have to rely on his elder brother in the future. If Xue Pan can't stand up, no matter how good the marriage is, it won't be able to keep people from changing their minds.And as long as Xue Pan is promising, his own sister will naturally not have to worry about finding a good family.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue finally made up her mind, and went to the old lady's side to ask for resignation early the next morning.
Baochai also followed and bid farewell to the sisters. This time when they return to Jinling, they don't know when they will see each other again. The little girls have not experienced a few separations so far, and they all feel bad when they learn about this.
After being silent for a while, Daiyu said, "When people get together, they will disperse. Sister Bao has gone back to her own home. It's the best thing. We should be happy for her."
Lin Daiyu's nature likes to disperse and not to get together, so these words are quite detached.Furthermore, Baochai's departure has aroused something in her mind.
It's just that although the two usually live as guests in Jia's mansion, Baochai still has her mother by her side, and now that she has to go back to her own home, she is naturally more at ease.On the contrary, she herself has only one old father in the family, and her body is not very strong, so she can't be filial to others, but has to take care of others.
Although everyone in Jia's mansion treated her well, and the old lady valued her, she always compared everything to Baoyu, but compared other sisters to the past.However, in her heart, she still had something on her mind.So when I say this now, I am really happy for Baochai, and I am really envious and sighing.
But Baoyu's nature is to wish to be together for a long time. When he heard that Baochai was going to leave, he was already full of sadness, and when he heard Daiyu's words again, he felt very harsh.Yin said, "For example, what you said is inappropriate. Could it be that Sister Bao only thinks about going home and doesn't think about us?"
When Daiyu heard this, she was immediately annoyed, "Why don't you let Sister Bao go home?"
"Of course I didn't mean that. It's just that sister Bao is alone when she goes back. How can she feel comfortable here? According to me, brother Xue is really confused. Anyway, there is no one in your family, and it is deserted when you arrive in Jinling. Wouldn't it be nice if all of us stay here and we can all be reunited?" Baoyu said.
Baochai's complexion changed slightly after hearing this.It's just that she is always considerate and doesn't want to quarrel over such things, so she just doesn't say a word.
But Daiyu was disturbed, and sneered, "What kind of bastard talk is this, I have never heard of it! Is your family the only one in the world? She has her own home, no matter how bad it is, she will go back. What's more, the Xue family It is also from the Jinling family, with a big family and a prosperous business, and many people are eager for Sister Bao to go back. For example, those of us who have no family can't leave here, and we can only let others abuse us!" As he said, tears rolled down He got down, covered it with a veil, turned around and left.
Baoyu regretted her slip of the tongue, wanted to chase Daiyu, and worried about Baochai's place. It was really a dilemma.
Baochai hurriedly said, "Sister Lin is the most careful, Baoyu, why don't you go and persuade people?" He thought that he was just saying something different, but he caused a quarrel between the two enemies, which was both angry and funny. .
Jia Baoyu is the phoenix egg of the family, and half of the family revolves around him.Now that he had a rift with Daiyu, the others were inevitably a little uneasy.Baochai felt a little sorry for having caused such a disturbance for no reason.Anyway, I didn't have much intention of parting, so I got up and said goodbye.
When I got out of the door, I thought about today's events carefully, thinking of Daiyu's words just now, I couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.
When Baochai came to Jia's house, Daiyu had already lived here for more than a year, and got on well with everyone around her.As soon as Baochai came, he took half of the autumn scenery away, and Daiyu was so depressed that she couldn't help but carry a little bit of it in her words.Baochai didn't realize it at first, but gradually she understood.Therefore, she treats Daiyu more politely than others on weekdays, claiming that she doesn't like her.
However, with today's words, it seems that she understands her own heart, and she is the only one.
But maybe it's also because both of them are dependent on others.It's just that she still has a home to go back to, and her brother will send someone to pick her up, but she can't.Thinking about it this way, I feel that it is justifiable to treat those sensitive thoughts in my heart, and it is even more regrettable.She and Baoyu are best friends on weekdays, but even Baoyu doesn't understand her heart, nor does she know what the future will be like.
On Aunt Xue's side, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wang naturally couldn't stay, so they had to prepare gifts to send them off.Aunt Xue declined repeatedly, so she only prepared some specialties of the capital so that she could take them home and distribute them to others.
So a few days later, the mother and daughter, together with the servants of the family who had gone to Beijing, set off for Jinling again.
……
Because there are female relatives, the road is naturally slow, but Xue Pan got the letter early and asked someone to clean up the house, waiting for the mistresses to come back.
During this period of time, he has been obsessed with the ledger, but it is a pity that the progress is very slow.It's no wonder that Xue Pan is a half-baked person, and the only knowledge about property was learned when he accompanied Bo Yang to read the accounts last time, and he almost forgot it later.At this time, it is not easy for him to read the accounts independently, and it is not easy to read them whole. As for the internal problems, he can't see them at all.
Even so, in the end Xue Pan felt a little bored and didn't want to watch it anymore.At the beginning, Xingnu could use Bo Yang to motivate him, but gradually even this method was useless, and he could only hold on to it with one breath, and he might not be able to continue it when it was cut off.
Seeing his listless appearance every day, Xingnu couldn't help but come up with an idea, "Actually, it's not a solution for the uncle to look at the accounts by himself every day. It's better to hire a reliable accountant. Why don't you write to Uncle Bai and tell him consult?"
The Xue family originally had a counting house, but Xue Pan knew that someone in the family had a different heart, so he secretly bought people, so it is hard to say whether the counting house is trustworthy or not.Besides, the business of the public school was handed over to Xue Biao, and it was hard for him to ask for more staff.
Xue Pan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but he hesitated and asked, "Is this feasible?"
Xingnu patted his chest and said, "Uncle Bai only told you that you can't come to the door, but he didn't say that you can't write letters. After you finish writing, I will deliver it in person. Make sure that Uncle Bai can't make mistakes!"
Xue Pan was already moved, but when he persuaded him, he agreed.I opened my pen and ink to write a letter, but after writing a few words, I felt bad, so I rubbed it and threw it away.I wrote a few pictures all over my face, but I didn't even write the beginning.Seeing this, Xingnu asked cautiously, "Master, do you want someone to write for you?"
"Not good." Xue Pan said, "Since I want to write a letter, I can only be sincere if I write it myself. What's the point of asking someone to write it for me?" Besides, some words are really not suitable for others to help write.
It's just that he himself can't say that he is literary, even if he doesn't know many characters, he can't write them.After tossing through the book for a while, I was still not satisfied, and I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Seeing this, Xingnu said, "It's time for the uncle to invite someone to teach these things. You don't want to be well-known in poetry and books, but you will always use them in your daily life. There will still be days to write letters to Uncle Bai!"
Xue Pan said, "Who will teach? I get a headache when I read the book."
If Bo Yang taught him personally, maybe he could still learn a little bit, but now Bo Yang can't even see him face to face.
Xingnu said, "Why don't you ask Uncle Bai together, maybe he has a solution?"
When it comes to governing his own uncle, Uncle Bai is the best solution. When the time comes, he will personally deliver the letter, and he must ask Uncle Bai to come up with a way to send someone so that the uncle can continue to improve.
However, Xue Pan thought about it, felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"This is the most appropriate way," Xing Nu said quickly, "Grandpa, just think about what kind of person you are, don't you know what kind of person you are? Seeing that you are willing to make progress now, naturally you can only be happy. If you don't believe me, just think about Mrs. That's it. Knowing that the uncle is willing to make progress, the wife was so happy that she recited the Buddha for a long time, and hurried back. Uncle Bai treats the uncle with the same heart as his wife."
"What nonsense?" Hearing this, Xue Pan couldn't help but raised his hand and tapped him on the head, "Is this also comparable?"
"The little one is clumsy, talking nonsense." Xing Nu didn't tell the difference either.
But when Xue Pan thought about it seriously, it was true.After thinking about it, why didn't Bo Yang see his embarrassing appearance?Not bad this time.What's more, Brother Yang knows his difficulties, so he will realize that his time has not been wasted.With that in mind, I finally wrote the letter.
……
When Bo Yang received Xue Pan's letter, he had just returned to Suzhou.This time I went out and finally brought back all the ordered fabrics, but this breath has not yet reached the time to relax, so much material cannot be kept in the warehouse all the time, I have to hurry up and dye it, and find another home.
He has been running around since the beginning of the new year. Although he was so tired that he could barely keep going, Bo Yang felt that his body was much stronger, and the hidden injuries and deficiencies left by the original body due to years of illness were being made up for one by one. .So although the appearance looks dark and thin, it is a pity for others to look at it, but Bo Yang himself is happy.
In a good mood, when I received Xue Pan's letter, I asked Xing Nu carefully about Xue Pan's performance during this period of time. I heard that he was stumbling, but he persisted all the time. Bo Yang was surprised and added a bit of joy .In short, I have not misjudged the person. Although Xue Pan's foundation is poor, he is not unbearable.
——It's like my own body, as long as I have perseverance and perseverance, I will be able to exercise to be healthy and healthy sooner or later, and there will be no hidden dangers anymore.
Reporting such a mood, Bo Yang opened Xue Pan's letter, and immediately put his hand on his forehead, showing an expression that he couldn't bear to look directly at.Let's not mention Xue Pan's poor handwriting, the blunt choice of words and sentences made Bo Yang feel goosebumps all over his body.He shook the letter paper, and said to Xingnu, "Let your uncle write plain Chinese next time."
"Our master is just saying that he wants to learn these things," Xingnu said hurriedly, "He said he wanted to ask Master Bai for his advice, and it was written in the letter."
Bo Yang nodded to express his understanding, and then continued to look down.
After reading it, I was a little bit dumbfounded.In this letter with a total of several hundred words, Xue Pan first babbled about his longing for himself, and then mentioned other things in a few sentences, and the content was also vague. You can ask him, I'm afraid I don't understand at all.
He put down the letter, thought for a while and said, "If your uncle really has the heart, you can invite a scribe who is proficient in arithmetic to sit at home, so that you can learn both, and it will be cheaper."
"It's just that I don't know where to invite such a gentleman?" Xingnu said, "If I really have the ability, I'm afraid I don't want to be restrained to be a gentleman."
"It's not difficult. What they are looking for is just a future. Your family has relatives in Beijing. After two or three years, when your uncle has completed his studies, just write a letter of recommendation for him. Think about it. Someone will be willing." Bo Yang said.
At this time, the imperial examinations had been flooded, and there were thousands of Jinshi in each examination, plus some of the candidates who could seek officials, the number was very large.Even though there are many redundant officials in the court and they are bloated, they still cannot accommodate these many people.Therefore, the competition is very fierce. In order to seek an official position, everyone uses their own means.In addition to the necessary management, it is naturally the easiest to advance if someone is willing to support.
In the original "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Yucun was Lin Daiyu's teacher for several years, and then Lin Ruhai had to write a recommendation letter for him to Jia Zheng and plan for him, so that he could be released as the prefect of Jinling.It should be known that Jiangnan accounts for half of the world's wealth. In this utterly rich place, the magistrate is more affordable than the governors and governors elsewhere. Naturally, everyone is fighting for it. If it doesn't matter, how can there be such benefits?
Xing Nu heard the words, nodded and said repeatedly, "Uncle Bai still has an idea, we don't have a person in charge in our family, these things are always bumping into each other like chickens without a head, I really don't know where to start."
"You can't say this anymore," Bo Yang reminded lightly, "If people hear it, they will think that there is no one in your Xue family. Where are you going to put your uncle?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Xingnu quickly responded, and said, "Uncle Bai really treats our uncle with heart. Uncle knows it in his heart. Because Uncle Bai didn't allow him to come, so Yin Yin entrusted me to say hello to Uncle Bai on his behalf. He also asked if there was anything missing here, and if he couldn't find it, he could just send someone to tell him. Our family still has some face in Jinling, so we expect to find it."
He said, with a look of hesitation on his face, "However, my uncle has a sentence, and I don't know whether to say it or not."
"Since it's not appropriate to say it, then don't say it." Bo Yang said.
Xingnu was almost choked when she heard this, and quickly patted her cheek, "It's all the villain's fault, I should slap my mouth! It's just that Uncle Bai has listened to this sentence anyway, otherwise our uncle will not be able to forgive me when I go back. "
Bo Yang didn't speak.Xingnu was much worse than his master in observing words and expressions, and couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, but after thinking about it for a while, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Our uncle asks Uncle Bai if he can do it." He has tried his best, and the rest will not be completed in a short while. I wonder when he can come to Suzhou to meet him in person?"
Bo Yang laughed and said, "This is amazing, the legs are on your uncle's body, so maybe I can stop him if he wants to come?"
Xingnu thought to himself that you didn't stop him, but a word made him dare not act.After the slander was over, he was taken aback for a moment before he realized that Bo Yang was considered to be Yun!His face was full of joy, and he said again and again, "Uncle Bai is still kind, I'll go back and tell the old man now!"
As he said that, as if he was afraid that Bo Yang would go back on his word, he left in a hurry, leaving behind a cart of things that Bo Yang had brought, and Bo Yang could only let Xuan'er clean up, and distributed the unused ones to the neighbors.Although doing too much of this kind of thing will always make people feel that they are being taken advantage of, but there is no way, it can't be left in vain.
However, taking people's money to ward off disasters, since he had collected things, Bo Yang thought he should take care of it, so he picked up a copy himself, and went to the next door to knock on the door.
The scholar Chen Mingjin who lived next door, at the beginning because he lived in Xue Pan's yard, Bo Yang always felt a little strange when he saw people.However, Chen Mingjin himself is as humble as a jade, a gentleman as a bamboo, with a refined literary quality and an outstanding demeanor. He is a well-educated person full of knowledge.Although he is not familiar with general affairs, but he will not be contemptuous and contemptuous. After a long time, Bo Yang has gradually got in touch with him.
In fact, Bo Yang didn't know, it was all because of his outstanding appearance, even if he was engaged in a "low business" like a businessman, he couldn't be despised by others.After all, he only needs to stop there. It's not that his status as a businessman lowers him, but that he elevates his status as a businessman, making people feel that the career he likes is not too bad.
People are beautiful, and the ancient literati are the most straightforward and undisguised part of them.Chen Mingjin admired Boyang's elegance, so naturally he wouldn't say those boring things.
So Bo Yang occasionally discussed history and literature with him, and each felt that the other had good knowledge and got along well.
But this time, Bo Yang came to visit Chen Mingjin mainly because he hoped that he could help recommend some people who could be Xue Pan's teachers.
Chen Mingjin often participates in various literary conferences, and because of his talent and reputation, he is not only popular in Suzhou, but occasionally scholars from other places will post posts to invite him to go.Anyway, it is very convenient to take a boat, and the journey takes only a few days.Chen Mingjin doesn't have any burdens from her family now, so she can travel with a book boy.For example, Mr. Liu, a weaving doctor in Jiangning, has been to the house several times.So I know a lot of people, and the news in this circle is well-informed, so it is always right to ask him for advice.
After hearing his request, Chen Mingjin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Could it be that Brother Bai needs someone to take care of his business?"
Chen Mingjin naturally couldn't help guessing that someone who was proficient in arithmetic and even a little bit in business was invited.But according to Bo Yang's request, he is probably at least a scholar, or even a scholar.With fame and fame, it’s nothing more than teaching in a library. Who would be willing to be attached to a businessman and be a shopkeeper and accountant?
That is to be ridiculed by peers!
Even if Chen Mingjin himself is close to Bo Yang, it's okay to communicate, and it's impossible for him to accept Bo Yang's offer.
Although he could only say a word, Bo Yang already understood the twists and turns. He smiled and said, "I'm a small business here, so I'm afraid I won't be able to work for the time being. I'm enough. This time It's not for myself, it's because I have a close friend whose father died early, and my mother didn't understand these things. Seeing that the family business was about to be lost, I wanted to find a famous teacher to teach me. I don't dare to delay too much. I have two or three years of work. I want to come Enough."
"I don't know what kind of family they are?" Chen Mingjin asked after thinking about it.If it's just sitting in the library as a professor, it's not difficult.But it is best to have a well-organized family, otherwise it will be difficult.
Bo Yang said, "It's the Xue family in Jinling, brother Chen may have heard of his family's reputation?"
Chen Mingjin was a little tongue-tied, and blurted out, "Brother Bai's best friend, is that Xue Pan who is known as the overlord?!" After finishing speaking, he realized that he was impolite, and hurriedly blushed, "Brother made a mistake, please Brother Bai, don't blame me."
For a modest gentleman like him to lose his composure to this point, I'm afraid Xue Pan's reputation is really not very good.
There was a look of coldness in Bo Yang's eyes. In fact, let these people say that they probably can't tell too many bad things that Xue Pan has done. He is indeed a bit of a dandy, but he is not alone. Fan Ji, why did he spread such a reputation?
Bo Yang wouldn't believe a single word if he said that no one was contributing to the flames!
But there is no need to get angry at Chen Mingjin because of this, Bai Yang calmed down, and said, "It's him. In fact, the rumors are just rumors. Speaking of which, Brother Chen bought this house from him, and you have also contacted his servants , maybe you can get a glimpse of the family tradition, so you don't think it's so evil."
Looking back, Chen Mingjin couldn't help but feel ashamed and said, "From what Brother Bai said, it's true. It's a pity that the world will spread falsehoods, and three people become tigers! Since this is the case, I have a few candidates here to recommend to Brother Bai. There is only one point, but I want to mention it first. I heard that the Xue family also has relatives in the capital, and it would be the best if they can get a letter of recommendation when the museum closes in the future."
He is ignorant of general affairs, but he is not a nerd, so he naturally knows these rules.Opening the mouth at this moment is somewhat of a reminder to Bo Yang.
Bo Yang nodded and said, "Naturally."
The ones recommended by Chen Mingjin are naturally those who have some friendship with him and who have some accomplishments in these matters.After he told Bo Yang his name, he also promised to write a book to explain the situation to them, and ask who is interested in this, so as not to invite anyone when he visits the door.
In the end, there were two people who agreed to sit at Xue's house, so Bo Yang sent the names of both to Xue Pan and asked him to choose by himself.After all, sometimes you have to close your eyes to choose a teacher. Let Xue Pan choose by himself, and the effect will be better.
However, after getting the list from Xue Pan, he knew that Bo Yang was worrying about his own affairs, and he was overjoyed.After thinking about it, he simply invited the two together.
Hearing about this kind of behavior of local tyrants, Bo Yang had no choice but to laugh it off.
……
Bo Yang is about to move.
His new dyeing workshop is outside the city, and he was out most of the time before, but now that he is back, he spends a lot of time on the road in and out of the city every day, which is quite inconvenient.Moreover, this yard was originally rented, so I thought it would not last long.
Now that Bo Yang has a family business in Suzhou, he plans to live here.So I thought about buying a yard near the dyeing workshop outside the city to facilitate travel.Anyway, the houses there are cheap and don't cost much.
When the neighbors heard that Bo Yang was going to move out, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Since Bo Yang moved here, he has been very harmonious with his neighbors.He is such a handsome young man, who doesn't like or admire the men and women around him?Even though they knew that they couldn't get close to someone like Bo Yang, so no one mentioned the matter of getting married, but there is such a person living nearby, so it's good to see him every day!
Not to mention that Bo Yang is a generous man, he often gives out various things to everyone, he is humble and polite, and sometimes he can talk to him a few words.
Even the aunts and aunts who lived around became more harmonious after they moved here from Bo Yang.After all, when everyone gets together, it is inevitable to talk about his good points. Now that we are talking about Bo Yang, it is natural not to turn our noses and eyes, otherwise it will be offensive to him?
In this way, after a long period of time, there has been some harmony among the neighbors, and Lizheng of this fang also took a look at Bo Yanggao, taking care of him a lot on weekdays. ——For example, Bo Yang asked the unregistered person before, and he agreed to help run away when the time comes.Moreover, Bo Yang was fifteen years old, and logically he became a strong man, so he should be allocated corvees, but Lizheng helped him report a serious illness, and with a certificate issued by the Jiekou Medical Center, things went smoothly.
Now that they heard that Bo Yang was going to move out, everyone felt as if they had lost their souls, and they didn't know how to live their lives for a while.
Although he had already guessed that Bo Yang would not live here for long, when he really knew he was going to leave, he still had a question in his mind: Why did he have to leave?
It's just that Bo Yang personally brought the gift, and every family went to explain their affairs, full of sincerity, besides, they couldn't get in the way of this matter, so they had to feel sorry for it.This incident made Bo Yang feel uncomfortable, he just mentioned that the house outside the city has not yet been bought, and everyone's reaction is so big, so what if they really leave?
One day, the people from Baiyangya shop came to him and said that the house he wanted was already available, so he was invited to look at the house outside the city. ——Because Bo Yang didn't have time to find a house by himself, and he was not professional, so he entrusted this matter to a professional dental firm after Uncle Zhou's recommendation.They specialize in all kinds of middlemen in business, among them there is the business of intermediary houses for future generations, and it is very convenient to take a commission after the completion of the transaction.
While talking in the yard, the people from the dental shop boasted that the house was as high as heaven and earth, and Bo Yang was planning to go with him to have a look outside the city when he heard someone call the door.Xuan'er went to answer the door, and then hurried back, "Master, it's Mr. Xue who is here!"
When Xuan'er first met, she felt that Xue Pan was a good person. After all, he was the first person to lend a helping hand to his master and servant.After that, Xue Pan took care of Bo Yang a lot, and Xuan'er naturally had a good impression of him.
As soon as the words fell, Xue Pan had already followed behind with a lot of things, and Xing Nu behind him was carrying two large boxes.Seeing a stranger in the yard, he nodded to Bo Yang and said, "Brother Yang, do your own thing, I'll go in and put down the things."
Bo Yang nodded, let Xuan'er go in to greet him, then turned his head and said to his teeth, "I have a visitor from afar at home today, I'm afraid I won't be free." He stopped and thought for a while, and then said, "How about it, you will arrive tomorrow The dyeing workshop by the river outside the village will look for me, and I will go to see it when the time comes. Just ask the place and you will know."
Yazi also knew that today's business could not be done, so he simply went.
Only then did Bo Yang turn around and enter the room, seeing Xue Pan struggling to find out all his things and put them on the table, he couldn't help laughing, "What are you trying to do?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to live here for a while this time. Brother Yang, please don't dislike him." Seeing him, Xue Pan immediately dropped the things in his hands, moved up to move the chair for him, and asked, "Just now Who is that?"
"It's from the dental shop. I entrusted them to help buy a yard." Bo Yang said, "So you don't have to rush to move out these things. Maybe in a few days, I will move here too."
"Where is Brother Yang going to move?" Xue Pan couldn't help being shocked, and asked hastily.
Bo Yang said, "It's just outside the city. Because the dyeing workshop is there, it's inconvenient to go there, so it's better to move there."
He saw Xue Pan's face full of shock, and after a little thought, he understood what he meant.It was just because he was afraid that he would move, but he didn't know the location, so he said with a smile, "The matter has not been settled yet, otherwise I will definitely write to you."
Xue Pan's face turned pale at this moment, and he thought for a while and asked, "Is it in a village outside the city? Is the place safe? Outside the city is no better than in the city. There are people patrolling day and night, and there is a curfew, so it is difficult for accidents. In the village Without this layer of protection, if there are a few hooligans, it will disturb people's life."
In fact, Xue Pan had never seen this before?But he heard a few random words from someone, but he took Bo Yang's matter to heart, so he racked his brains to figure it out, consciously thoughtful, mature and stable, and he couldn't help looking at Xue Pan expectantly.
These words are remarkable, but the expression on the back is revealing, Bo Yang couldn't help but smiled and said, "I know, I've inquired about it these days, the atmosphere in the village is good, and there are no ruffians. .Besides, many people in the village work in the dyeing workshop, so it is expected that there will be no trouble."
"It's better to hire a group of guardians." Xue Pan said, "If you don't have a hand here for a while, I can arrange it."
When he said no advantage, he didn't mean that Bo Yang had no money, but that he couldn't find anyone available.After all, it is a heavy responsibility to take care of the home and nursing home. I am not a trustworthy person, and I dare not entrust such a thing.In a hurry, you may not be able to find a good one.
Bo Yang laughed and said, "Where is it so?"
He only has a lot of money, but he can't support so many people.Moreover, Bo Yangsu doesn't like to live with too many people, let alone the kind that he has to follow no matter where he goes.It is said that the servants of this era, even when the master and his wife have sex, some of them also wait on the sidelines.
——Because of this, most of the maids around the hostess and the maids around the mistress often easily become housemaids.You think you are so intimate, and the man is not Liu Xiahui, so eating it is not what it should be?
Thinking about this kind of thing, Bo Yang felt uncomfortable all over, he really didn't even have any *.Even Xuan'er, now he is not required to serve in front of him, but gradually train him to be a deputy.
Xue Pan saw that he didn't take it seriously, knowing that he didn't take this matter to heart, he couldn't help being very worried.
He was thinking about how to try to persuade Bo Yang to care about this matter, otherwise he would not be at ease in Jinling.As a result, this anxiety actually came up with an excellent idea for him!
When Xingnu returned from Suzhou, he got the letter of approval, and knowing that Bo Yang had allowed him to visit, he immediately hired a boat to come over.
A letter came from the capital, and he calculated the time. In about ten days, I am afraid that my mother and sister will return to Jinling. At that time, he will help settle down, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go out for a long time, so this time I made up my mind. I want to stay here in Boyang for a while.
Now when he heard that Bo Yang was going to move, he suddenly thought, why didn't he persuade Bo Yang to move to Jinling?Even if you still live outside the city, it will be much more convenient to come and take care of yourself.It is expected that with the face of the Xue family, other idlers would not dare to provoke him at will.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this idea was brilliant, so Xue Pan asked, "Brother Yang, did you buy or rent that dyeing workshop outside the city?"
"It's rented. All the money in my hand is used to buy cloth, and I can't buy it for the time being." Bo Yang said, "But in three to five years, I should be able to buy it. The owner of the dyeing workshop promised that if he wants to sell it, he will sell it first. Give me."
Xue Pan breathed a sigh of relief, luckily it was rented, if he bought it, he was afraid that Bo Yang would never leave.He said, "I didn't buy it, did Brother Yang ever think about moving to Jinling and be my companion?"
"Move to Jinling?" Hearing this, Bo Yang couldn't help being slightly stunned.
He really didn't think about it.But it's not that he has any reluctance, it's just a feeling of blind spot, because he lives in Suzhou now, so he has to choose near Suzhou.But in fact, if you think about it carefully, isn’t the reason why you came to Suzhou in the first place because of Xue Pan in Jinling?Now Xue Pan no longer needs to hide, but can take care of each other as he said.
——Xue Pan is worried about Bo Yang, and Bo Yang is not very worried about him.The inner ghost of the Xue family has not been caught yet, and Xue Pan's personality will not change, who knows what kind of obstacles will be encountered?
Seeing that he was moving, Xue Pan tried harder to persuade him.Bo Yang didn't intend to stay in Suzhou at first, but after being persuaded by him like this, he felt that it would be better to move to Jinling.It's just that all the cloth collected this year is here, and the dyeing workshop has already been rented, so I'm afraid I can't move it out in a hurry.It's time to leave and summer will pass.
As soon as he said this, Xue Pan immediately agreed, and also promised that after he went back, he could look for the house and dyeing workshop for him, and he promised that everything would be in order when he went.
When Bo Yang heard this, his heart warmed slightly, but he felt that his love for Xue Pan was not in vain.He just warned, "Just one thing, whether it's the house or the dyeing workshop, it doesn't belong to your Xue family, and you don't want to pay for it. We make friends as friends. It's better to separate in this kind of thing. This way is the way to get along for a long time. "
Although Xue Pan felt that Bo Yang was out of touch, he respected him even more because of it, thinking that with Bo Yang's ability, he didn't need to give these things himself, so he finally had to agree.
……
After talking about moving, Bo Yang asked Xue Pan why he came here.
Xue Pan explained the reason again.When Bo Yang heard that he brought his mother and sister back from the capital, he had indirectly dismantled the childhood friendship of Shuangbao CP. Without these foundations, it is hard to say whether the golden and jade marriage can be made in the future, and he couldn't help but feel Something strange.
After all, this is a direct change to the plot.However, depending on the situation, it seems that there was no force majeure that caused Xue Pan to fail.So, can the plot be changed?
Bo Yang actually didn't have much ambition, and he didn't have any intention of modifying the plot.After all, for him, he just needs to stay far away and not interfere in these matters.It's just that because of Xue Pan, he didn't care about it at all.
After all, if I have worked so hard to teach Xue Pan well, it would be too disgusting for a butterfly's wings to slap people back in the plot.
It's just that Bo Yang can't do it if he wants to leave Xue Pan alone for this reason, so what he's doing so far is just doing his best and obeying the destiny.But if the plot can be changed, then maybe I can completely pull Xue Pan out of the quagmire?
"Dream of Red Mansions" puts a lot of emphasis on the saying "predetermined by previous causes". Many things have faint metaphors in them, and many people's endings are naturally the result of fate.
Xue Pan is no exception. In the original book, both he and Liu Xianglian are typical representatives of "character determines destiny". ——It's strange to say that after I came here, I also got to know the two of them.
The downfall of the Xue family in the plot was not actually because Xue Pan was not doing his job properly, because at that time Xue Pan had already started to take people on the business roads to do business, and it seemed to be a bit of a show.However, because of his violent temperament and arrogance, he made a move when he disagreed with others, and ended up killing him by mistake.
