The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

Let's talk about Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu, when they finished their tossing and left the mansion, most of the morning had passed.Seeing the sun hanging high above his head, Jia Baoyu coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said, "Go to Dongping County Prince's Mansion at noon...isn't it too good?"

"What's wrong with that, just to have lunch." Xue Pan rolled his eyes indifferently, pulled Jia Baoyu and walked forward. "You know how to get to the Dongping County Prince's Mansion, please show me the way."

"Over there." Jia Baoyu pointed back to the direction behind the two of them, only to hear Mingyan chuckle behind him, Xue Pan turned back and said without changing his face: "I wanted to take a stroll, since you If you are in such a hurry, let’s go to Dongping County Prince’s Mansion first!”

"..." Jia Baoyu rolled his eyes speechlessly.

After walking for a while, Xue Pan felt exhausted again, so he couldn't help saying to Zhao Cai behind him, "It would be nice if I rode a horse when I came out, but now I feel a little weak."

Jia Baoyu looked back and saw that Rongguo Mansion was less than a hundred feet away, sighed lightly, and said, "How about we go back and ride horses?"

"Okay!" Xue Pan replied bluntly, and the two returned to Rongguo Mansion and told the boys at the door to prepare their horses...

After a lot of tossing, when they arrived at Dongping County Prince's Mansion, it was just in time for dinner.

Zhen Baoyu came out from the flower hall to greet Xue Pan, saw Xue Pan and said with a smile: "I didn't hear the concierge say you were coming when I got up early, so I knew you must be coming for lunch at noon. Sure enough, the timing was right, my sister's side As soon as I ordered the kitchen to cook, you came to the door."

"The one who knows me is Baoyu." Xue Pan shook his head and hung up a book bag, and quickly introduced to Zhen Baoyu: "This is the Baoyu from Rongguo Mansion. Now you two have bumped into the real and fake Baoyu."

When Zhen Baoyu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Jia Baoyu who was looking at him in amazement.I saw the eyebrows and eyes, the outline was really printed on the same mold as myself, but the stature was smaller and fatter than myself.They are round and round, and they look very cute.

He couldn't help being even more delighted, and walked up to Jia Baoyu's hand and said kindly: "It really is very similar. I used to hear people say that there are many wonders in the world. But I have never seen two people who have no relatives but are so similar. People. If I let my sister see it, she must be surprised."

As he spoke, he took Jia Baoyu's hand and entered the main hall, followed by Xue Pan with a smile on his face.

In the main hall, the king of Dongping County sat on the upper chair, and beside him was the princess of Dongping County, who was dressed in full makeup.On the first few chairs sat several beautiful girls with phoenix hairpins around their temples, and the maids behind them were all wrapped in silk and wearing pearls and emeralds on their heads.The room was full of young women, either charming or pure and lovely, which made Xue Pan dazzled for a while.

The King of Dongping looked at Xue Pan, whose eyes rolled wildly as soon as he entered the door, and a funny smile could not help but appear on his lips.When an ordinary man came to visit another house, if he saw a room full of beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, he would lower his eyebrows, hold his breath, and put on a dignified attitude.It is rare that this Xue Pan has a true temperament, although he looks around casually, his eyes are clear, and there is nothing obscene, dirty, or dirty in them.The full admiration made him, the master, see it, and even a touch of complacency arose.

Shaking his head, shaking away the inexplicable emotions in his mind, King Dongping cleared his voice and said, "Is this the young friend that Baoyu mentioned?"

Xue Pan murmured subconsciously: "Will you hurt your friend?"

Zhen Baoyu glared at Xue Pan and replied with a smile, "Exactly."

Xue Pan immediately stepped forward to greet him and said, "I'm going down to Xue Pan. I have met the king of Dongping County and the concubine."

Hearing him claiming to be "my subordinate", the Duke of Dongping raised his eyebrows in astonishment, surprised by Xue Pan's arrogance.But he doesn't even care much about the honor and favor of the Xue family in front of the present.On the contrary, the princess of Dongping County was deeply concerned about Xue Pan's scrutiny before, and snorted softly.

Xue Pan glanced at her indifferently, but didn't speak.

Seeing this, Zhen Baoyu shook his head.Immediately afterwards, he introduced to King Dongping: "This is Jia Baoyu from Rongguo Mansion."

The king of Dongping County noticed Jia Baoyu when he entered the house. After all, it is rare to see people who grow up to be as virtuous as their brother-in-law.Originally, he thought that this young man was also a child of the Zhen family, but who knew that he was the Jia family who had nothing to do with the Zhen family—not that he had nothing to do with it, after all, they belonged to the four kings and eight princes, so they could be regarded as family friends. !Although Jia's family can be regarded as sunset, the camel is bigger than the horse after all.

Immediately cheered up and exchanged greetings with Jia Baoyu: "You are the Jia Baoyu who was born with jade, can you wait for Yulai today?"

Jia Baoyu was used to this kind of thing for a long time, and immediately took off the jade pendant around his neck, and handed it to the king of Dongping County, saying: "Take it."

The Dongping County King randomly took a piece of silk handkerchief and held the piece of jade in front of his eyes for a closer look.I saw that the jade was as big as a bird's egg, as bright as a bright glow, as smooth as a crisp, and surrounded by five-color patterns.On the front is written "Don't lose and never forget, longevity and prosperity", and on the back is written that one eliminates evil spirits, two cures wronged diseases, and three knows good fortune and misfortune. I couldn't help asking curiously: "Is the fruit effective?"

Jia Baoyu said disapprovingly: "Even so, I haven't verified it after all. I have been carrying it since I was a child, and it hasn't cured all diseases; others have not carried it since childhood, and I don't see many disasters. Thinking about it, it is just a sentence." It’s nothing more than auspicious words.”

The king of Dongping County nodded with a smile when he heard the words, returned the piece of jade to Jia Baoyu, and said, "Please take it with you."

Jia Baoyu responded, bowed his head and took the jade with him.

The young woman on the first chair on the left chuckled and said softly, "My lord, it's getting late, do you want to serve dinner?"

Xue Pan scrutinized the past and saw that the beautiful woman's appearance was almost similar to Zhen Baoyu's, so he immediately guessed that this was the side concubine of the county king of the Zhen family.

really.When the king of Dongping County heard the words, he immediately laughed loudly and said: "What Wan'er said is very true, so let's prepare dinner quickly. I heard from my wife and brother just now that this young master of the Xue family came here specially for dinner. If we procrastinate, call If you are hungry, if you go back and make arrangements for our Dongping County Prince’s Mansion to entertain you poorly, that would be a serious crime.”

Xue Pan heard Dongping County King's words, and couldn't help but look at that Concubine Zhen in amazement, she really is very favored!

All the Jiao'e and beautiful maidservants in the room also covered their mouths and chuckled.Only Princess Dongping looked at Xue Pan expressionlessly, her eyes were cold with a bit of contempt, she curled her lips and remained silent.

Xue Pan was keenly aware that the princess of Dongping County didn't like him very much, and immediately glanced at Zhen Baoyu inexplicably, Zhen Baoyu took advantage of people not paying attention, and quietly pulled Xue Pan's sleeve, Xue Pan remained expressionless blinked.Looking at Princess Dongping County again, there was a trace of imperceptible pity in her eyes.

The Duke of Dongping didn't seem to notice the small movements of the crowd at all, he got up and strode into the flower hall under the service of the side concubine Zhen.He also greeted Xue Pan and the two Baoyu behind him.The whole house of Yingying and Yanyan also followed immediately.Only the Princess of Dongping County was left in a daze, she pursed her lips aggrievedly as she watched the group of people in front of her, and slowly passed by under the service of her own maid.

After dinner.Everyone went back to the main hall for a chat.During this period, the side concubine Zhen has always entertained everyone with the attitude of a hostess.Her earnest words and gentle attitude made her feel like a spring breeze, but compared with the mural-like Princess Zhengfei of Dongping County, she seemed to overwhelm the host.The atmosphere was too weird, but after persisting for half an hour, Xue Pan couldn't help but wink at Zhen Baoyu, Zhen Baoyu immediately found an excuse, and the three of them retreated.

"...Hoo!" After a hundred steps away from Dongping County Prince's Mansion, Xue Pan exhaled refreshedly.The situation just now was so weird that he felt a little suffocated.

Zhen Baoyu immediately said: "This princess of the Dongping County Prince's Mansion is a girl from the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion. Originally, her mother's family was quite powerful, but she was also a victorious master in the past. It's a pity that I somehow offended the King of Dongping County. Since my sister came in, she was very unfavored..."

After hearing this, Xue Pan shook his head helplessly.Husband and wife, live the life of two people.It is inappropriate to always move out your natal family to show off when you have nothing to do, even in later generations.What's more, in the ancient times when the three cardinal principles and five constant principles were so strict!

"My sister said that the princess of Dongping County has a bad temper. Ever since my sister was favored, she has often encouraged Nan'an County Palace to cause trouble for my sister. She is also a person who is indiscriminate and easy to get involved. The Xue family and us The Zhen family has always been on good terms, so you should be more careful when you go out for business." Zhen Baoyu said to Xue Pan worriedly.

Instead, Xue Pan waved his hand disapprovingly, and said, "Why am I careful about her? I haven't provoked her either. If she can't think about it and provoke me first, I'm not the one who swallows my anger. I have to let her know what stabbing is." Boss."

Zhen Baoyu rolled his eyes helplessly, slapped Xue Pan hard, and said in his mouth: "Just blow it up! When something like this really happens, some of you will be aggrieved."

After all, he is one of the four kings no matter what!

Xue Pan sneered and stopped talking about this topic.Turning to Jia Baoyu, he said, "Aren't you curious about some spices from other countries in our rouge and gouache? It just so happens that I have time today, so I'll take you to have a look."

Jia Baoyu naturally nodded happily.Seeing this, Zhen Baoyu stopped talking about Nan'an Palace.Shi Shiran, the three of them walked towards the direction of rouge and gouache, but no one knew the kung fu, and Zhen Baoyu's words came true.Within two days, Xue Pan really got involved with Nan'an Palace...

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Let's say that after Xue Pan and the others arrived at the rouge powder, Jia Baoyu's eyes lit up when he saw the dazzling array of all kinds of rouge creams on the shelves.Feeling east, looking west, from time to time, he opened the sample and sniffed it lightly, with an intoxicated look on his face, which made Xue Pan and the two laugh.

"What is this? It smells so good!" Jia Baoyu turned his head and asked, holding a beautiful glass bottle in his hand.The golden-yellow liquid in the bottle was flowing, and it became more and more crystal clear under the sunlight.

"It's perfume. Its use is similar to that of incense. It's just that it's more convenient to spray on the body, and the fragrance is longer-lasting than incense." Xue Pan replied with a smile.By the way, he pointed to the glass bottles of other colored liquids on the shelf and said: "The one you took just now should be the fragrance of jasmine, and there are fragrances of roses, lilies, and tulips—"

"Tulip?" Jia Baoyu asked suspiciously.

"It's a kind of flower from outside the Fan, and it's very fragrant." Xue Pan said, found a bottle marked with tulips from the shelf, handed it to Jia Baoyu, and said, "No, it's this fragrance."

Jia Baoyu reached out to take it, carefully opened the cap, put the bottle up to his nose and sniffed it, then closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment.After a long while, he was born and sighed softly: "Sure enough, it smells so good, it makes people feel so refined, it makes them feel like they are in heaven."

As he spoke, he played with the perfume bottle in his hand, with a sigh on his face. "It's a pity that my knowledge is poor, I have never seen this kind of flower, really..."

Seeing this, Xue Pan curled his lips in disbelief, stretched out his hand to beckon the steward who had been waiting for a long time, and said, "Go to the warehouse to find some rare spices from outside the feudal clan, and pack some for this little brother."

As he spoke, he pointed to the Mingyan beside him and said, "I'll ask the steward to hand over these spices to you later, and you can find a way to get them into the mansion by yourself, don't let your master see it."

That Mingyan responded crisply, and immediately followed a fellow who came to meet him and left.

Jia Baoyu on the side excitedly said to Xue Pan, "It's still big brother who is generous."

Xue Pan raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a face full of glory, "It's fine if you like it."

Jia Baoyu immediately said shyly: "I'm really happy, but..."

"What's wrong?" Xue Pan raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"I've never seen what a tulip looks like..." Jia Baoyu felt even more embarrassed when he said this. "Dare to ask big brother if there are ready-made tulip patterns here, it will open my eyes."

Xue Pan immediately looked at the steward.

The steward cleared his throat, and said: "Originally, this flower is an object from outside the domain, and we don't have it in the Central Plains. But later, the uncle tinkered with some greenhouses, and found many gardeners from outside the domain to study... ... After so many years, there have been three or two results. It's just that our flowers can bloom, but according to the gardener, they are much worse than those in their hometown."

"The ancients said that oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and oranges born in Huaibei are oranges. This is the truth." Zhen Baoyu sighed lightly, and then said: "If this is the case, then you can take some and ask us to open them." vision."

The steward smiled again and said, "I want the masters to know that these tulips are usually sown before the Spring Festival, and they will not bloom until the next spring."

"Aren't there any in the shed?" Xue Pan said with a frown.

"This..." The steward looked at Xue Pan with some embarrassment, gritted his teeth and said, "Not much."

Xue Pan looked at the steward with a chuckle, and scolded dumbfoundedly: "Look at how you protect money, go get two pots and send them to Rongguo Mansion, one for the old lady and one for Baoyu. The other two pots were given to the two girls in Pear Fragrance Garden. These poor people are missing."

But when he saw the steward, he immediately responded with the sorrowful look of a dead parent: "Hey!"

While everyone was talking, they heard a sudden sentence from outside: "The Xue family in Jinling really has a lot of ostentation. The rare flowers and plants outside the feudal clan are given away as soon as they are given away, which shows how rich and powerful they are."

Xue Pan frowned and followed the sound.But seeing two Pianpian sons of weak age walking in slowly, one of them has a handsome face and a gentle temperament, which makes people feel like a spring breeze when they see it, and they feel good about it.The other one looks beautiful and good-looking like a woman, with sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes, with a hint of coquettishness between her brows. She is looking at Xue Pan and the others with disdain at the moment, and there are several well-dressed servants behind them.They were all full of arrogance, and walked in with their heads held high, surrounding Xue Pan and the others indistinctly.

Xue Pan pursed his lips indiscriminately, looked at the servants with a sarcasm and said, "This is a shop for buying and selling, and it is full of rare items that ordinary people cannot afford. Be careful when you walk. Point, if you make half a bottle, your whole family can’t afford to pay for it if you sell it.”

The good-looking man sneered, and said: "Sure enough, he is an imperial merchant who is used to oppressing people with money, and what he says and keeps is only for money."

"You seem to be very resentful of the fact that our family is rich!" Xue Pan buttoned his ears, and said calmly, "Hateing the rich is not a good thing. The benefits of being rich are not something you can only get by envying and hating."

After a pause, he said again: "You don't look like you have no money, do you need to put on such a face that you can't eat grapes and think grapes are sour?"

A servant on the opposite side immediately shouted violently: "Bold, you are so rude, you dare to talk to our master in such a tone."

Xue Pan sneered, and said leisurely, "Why can anyone call you Lord once you enter the capital?"

"What do you mean by that?" The shady young man sneered after hearing the words.

"Nothing interesting." Xue Pan chuckled, and said nonchalantly: "I mean the old man who guards the night at our gate, and I respectfully call him 'Second Master'."

"You are so courageous!" Hearing that, the shady young man flew into a rage.Pointing at Xue Pan, he said in a cold voice, "Do you know who I am?"

"It's so funny. You don't know who you are, so you ask me?" Xue Pan also sneered back. "I don't know who you are, but it seems that you know that I am quite brave."

As he spoke, he casually snapped his fingers.

"What do you want to do?" The shady young man looked at the shop assistants who suddenly surrounded him, and asked with a sullen face.

"To deal with a villain like you, we have always had two ways." Xue Pan said, slowly raised two fingers. "One, it's easy for you to get out on your own, let's show respect to each other. Two, if I invite you out, at worst we'll tear our faces apart. I'm not afraid of anyone, so it depends on whether you can afford to lose this person."

"You—" The sullen young man trembled angrily, and just as he was about to raise his legs to step forward, he was grabbed by the silent young man beside him.

"My younger brother has always been favored at home, so he is a bit spoiled. It's not really malicious. Please forgive me, this little brother." The gentle young man nodded at Xue Pan and smiled.A golden light flashed across the gestures.

Xue Pan glanced at the cuffs of the gentle young man unhappily for about half a day, and finally twitched the corner of his mouth with a smirk: "How dare you dare, open the door to do business, it is natural to make money with kindness. As long as you don't come to my shop out of nowhere I will take care of those who find trouble inside. If you want to come to kick the house... My Xue family is not a cat or a dog who can be manipulated at will."

Hearing this, the gentle young man smiled more tenderly and said, "That's the reason."

Xue Pan took a look at the man, waved his hand and said to the steward, "It's nice to entertain you."

The steward immediately bowed and said yes.

Xue Pan sneered and shook his head, and took two precious jades Shi Shiran out of the shop. When passing by the shady young man, Xue Pan took a deep look at him and said softly, "Have a good time!"

Until the figures of Xue Pan and the others disappeared into the crowd, the shady young man suddenly chuckled and said, "This is that man's purse, he really has a big temper!"

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. It's strange that the Xue family has been huddled in Jinling City and never came out..." The gentle young man shook his head and smiled: "It's still too young."

"The more troublesome the better, I feel suffocated when I see that expressionless dead man's face." The shady young man spat disdainfully, and said, "I don't know what kind of shit luck it is. A trip to Jinling..."

The gentle young man coughed, and the shady young man immediately fell silent.Instead, he directed the steward with lowered eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and said, "Pack me a few bottles of the best perfume...just the one from last time."

"Yes!" said the steward, and turned back to order the assistant to go to work.After a while, he walked over with a wrapped gift box.Gong Sheng said: "A total of 3000 taels of silver, guest officer, please check."

The shady young man took the gift box, weighed it in his hand, shook his head a little astonished and said, "It's just such a small two bottles...it really will make money!"

Saying that, he ordered the attendant behind him to pay the money.Then he stuffed the gift box into the attendant's arms, turned around with the gentle young man and left the shop.

Let’s say that Xue Pan fled because he was provoked for no reason, and he didn’t dare to investigate further because of the other party’s background. He just felt depressed.When he went out, he asked Jia Baoyu, "Your family is a local snake in Beijing. Do you recognize those two people just now?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head suspiciously, and said, "I don't really know him either. Just looking at his demeanor, he doesn't look like an ordinary rich kid."

"Nonsense." Xue Pan snorted.If he hadn't realized later that the two of them had a certain aura similar to fourth master's, he wouldn't have run away in such a disgraceful manner.Originally, I wanted to turn around and ask Jia Baoyu, but in the end he was also clueless.

"It's really..." Xue Pan impetuously fanned the wind with his hands, only to feel more and more aggrieved.Then she lost the thought of wandering around, turned to Zhen Baoyu and said, "I want to go back, how about you?"

"Me?" Zhen Baoyu pointed at herself in surprise.

"Are you going back to Rongguo Mansion with me, or to your prince's mansion?" Xue Pan asked impatiently.

"The Zhen family and the Jia family are also family friends. Since I'm in the capital, why don't I pay a visit?" Zhen Baoyu smiled leisurely.

"Then go back to Rongguo Mansion." Xue Pan said with a cold face and waved his hands.Zhaocai on the side immediately led the horse over, and the three of them had nothing to say, so they rode the horse back to the house.

In terms of etiquette, meeting the old lady and various greetings are not mentioned.

Let's say that after Xue Pan returned to Lixiangyuan, he was surprised to find that Xue's mother and daughter did not come out as usual.He hurriedly called a little girl who was pouring tea and asked, "Where are Mom, sister and Miss Lin?"

"The wife and the girls received an invitation card in the morning, they only said that they were going to visit a relative, and they all went out in the afternoon." The little girl replied.

"Relative, what relative?" Xue Pan scratched his head suspiciously.

"This..." The little girl frowned in embarrassment, and hesitated for a long time before saying anything.

"Forget it, forget it." Xue Pan impatiently waved the girl away, and went back to the house even more boring, and ended up sleeping.

When Lin Mozhi came back from the outside, he couldn't help shaking his head when he saw Xue Pan sleeping soundly. He stepped forward and pulled Xue Pan vigorously to wake him up, and said, "After sleeping so much during the day, are you still going to sleep at night?"

Xue Pan, who was forcibly woken up, looked angrily at the already dark sky outside, and said nonchalantly: "If you don't disturb me, maybe I'll sleep until dawn!"

"Then you won't eat tonight?" Lin Mozhi shook his head disapprovingly, grabbed Xue Pan's arm and said, "Get up!"

Xue Pan turned his neck in a daze, and while getting down to get dressed, he asked, "Are Mom and sister back?"

"I didn't see them when I came back, why did they all go out?" Lin Mozhi raised his eyebrows and asked calmly.

"I said I wanted to see some kind of relative, so I'm going out this afternoon." Xue Pan scratched his head, and added: "I think it's a very familiar relative, otherwise Mom wouldn't have come to the door so suddenly."

"Perhaps someone insisted on inviting Aunt Xue and his sister, but Aunt Xue had no choice but to hurry away!" Lin Mozhi suddenly remembered what he had just heard, and said aloud: " I heard that there is a banquet in Nan'an Palace this afternoon, and most noble families in Beijing are invited. Maybe Aunt Xue is going to this banquet!"

"Ah?" Xue Pan's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "Is it the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion that had a feud with the Zhen family?"

"You also know?" Lin Mozhi asked in surprise, and said, "I was just about to tell you! Because of the outstanding military exploits of the ancestors and the conferment of kings with different surnames, the Nan'an Palace has always acted rather domineeringly in Beijing. Concubine Nan'an is now prejudiced against the Zhen family because of Concubine Zhen's affairs, your Xue family and the Zhen family are so close, you have to be careful of them."

But Xue Pan didn't care about this anymore, he felt something bad in his heart.Immediately put on his clothes and said, "No, I have to go and have a look. The weasel pays New Year greetings to the chickens, and I always feel that they have no good intentions."

Before the words were finished, there was a sudden noise from the front yard.Xue Pan and Xue Pan looked at each other, and immediately opened the door and walked out.It happened that Baochai, who was looking unhappy, came in from the outside with Mrs. Xue's arms in his arms, and Lin Daiyu, who followed behind her, had a look of displeasure on her face.Even a group of girls and followers were downcast, and the pattern looked very wrong.

Xue Pan was startled, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's going on, can people bully you?"

Baochai raised her head and saw Xue Pan with a concerned face, she held back the tears she shed all the way.He only sobbed "Brother" twice, and then he was so choked up that he couldn't speak anymore.

Seeing this appearance, Xue Pan knew that Baochai was being bullied no matter how stupid he was.Immediately, he was furious and asked angrily, "Who dares to bully my sister?"

"It's the princess of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion and Nan'an Concubine." Before Xue's mother and daughter could speak, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but said: "They sent invitations to invite us to come over, and they wanted to be famous all over the city. Insulting my sister in front of you—"

"Yu'er!" Mrs. Xue interrupted Lin Daiyu's words with a loud drink, and forced a smile at Xue Pan: "It's nothing serious, but the princess has a rather spoiled temper and said a few nonsensical gossips. We If you don’t like to hear it, just pretend you don’t hear it. The master is still in Jinling, so don’t cause any trouble—”

"Sister Lin, tell me what's going on." Xue Pan ignored Mrs. Xue's words at all, and only stared at Lin Daiyu with burning eyes and asked.

"This..." Lin Daiyu didn't know what to say when Madam Xue yelled at her.Xue Baochai at the side also came back to his senses at this moment, quickly touched the tears on his face, and forced a smile: "It's not a big deal—"

"I'm asking you something, what's going on?" Xue Pan interrupted Baochai angrily, only looked at Lin Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, just talk, just watch what Mom is doing?"

When Lin Daiyu was drunk by Xue Pan, her heart trembled.Hastily said: "After big brother and brother Bao left Rongguo Mansion this morning, the concierge suddenly came in with an invitation card. It said that there was a tea party in Nan'an County Prince's Mansion today, and Godmother and Sister Bao were invited over. Our mansion has always been with Nan'an The county palace has nothing to do with it, so the godmother is a little strange. But the wording on the invitation is very... the godmother is not easy to shirk and offend people, so she had to take us there..."

In the end, it caught up with a Hongmen banquet.The Nan'an Prince's Mansion was not upset at all that Zhen Wan's charming appearance had attracted the attention of the King of Dongping.It is also learned that Xue Baochai has the best relationship with Zhen Wan in the boudoir.Concubine Nan'an brought the Xue family's mother and daughter here only to hit her sideways.Who made the relationship between the Xue family and the Zhen family irreversible!But it doesn't mean anything else, after all, the Xue family is now very honored in front of the Holy Master, and the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion doesn't dare to go too far.But the bad thing is that the colors of Baochai and Daiyu are too outstanding.It turned out that the young talents attending the meeting frequently looked back at the Prime Minister, and even the elegant and calm King Beijing couldn't help but look at him again and again.The princess of Nan'an County had always admired Beijing's Wang Yan for being so gentle, but now seeing this situation, she naturally felt resentful, and she couldn't help but swear at each other.

Lin Daiyu said that the Nan'an princess said that the Xue family was a merchant's house that could not stand on the stage in front of the noble daughters all over the city. Baochai made a pass.It is said that the daughter of a merchant is really not extravagant, even if she looks a bit upright, she will inevitably lose her color. "Monkeys don't show the aura of a nobleman even if they wear fancy clothes and beautiful crowns."Concubine Nan'an's reputation for doting on young daughters resounded throughout the capital. Instead of scolding her daughter, she watched with a satisfied face.In the end, it was Madam Feng, the general of martial arts, who smoothed things over, and Madam Xue found an excuse to flee back with the Baochai sisters in desperation...

Xue Pan listened very carefully, biting his lip with a row of white teeth.Even though his lungs were about to explode, the expression on his face became more and more indifferent.Seeing this, Lin Mozhi was in a bad mood, and quickly pulled Xue Pan's sleeve to persuade him, "Don't be silly, that's a king with a different surname—"

"Fuck the king with a different surname, even the king with the same surname doesn't bully people like this." Xue Pan shook his arms and laughed coldly: "It's true that our Xue family is a vulgar businessman, but we should also see if our Xue family is for business. Who is in business. That is the "Marquis by business" that is handwritten by the emperor today. Even if the soil is scummed, there is no reason why they would dislike it. Today I want to see these dignitaries in the capital. We are not a vulgar merchant. Mao Agou can arrange it."

"What are you doing?" Lin Mozhi asked warily.

"Why?" Xue Pan gritted his teeth and said with a pale face, "Didn't they dislike us for being colorless? I just want to show them some color today!"
