The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber
Chapter 40 Chapter 4
It was night, and the moon was as cool as water.
Imperial City, Royal Study Room.Tu Zhen sat behind the imperial case, reviewing the memorial seriously.Gao Wei knelt down respectfully.The floor tiles that can be used to judge people can reveal the person's hair, and Gao Wei stared at his own reflection, in a daze.
After a while, Tu Zhen suddenly said, "Xue Pan has already entered Beijing."
Although it is a question, what is available is a declarative tone.Gao Wei didn't know what his master was thinking, so he could only bow his head and say, "Yes."
"You gave him the jade pendant." Tu Zhen asked lightly again.
Gao Wei still should be.
Tu Zhen was silent again.After about ten breaths, Tu Zhen asked aloud, "Do you think he can use this jade pendant?"
Gao Wei swallowed his saliva, pondered for a long time, and then said cautiously: "The Holy Majesty handed over the jade tablet to Xue Pan, because he dotes on Xue Pan. If Xue Pan is indiscriminate, he will show it off...I'm afraid It will disappoint the good intentions of the Holy Majesty."
Tu Zhen chuckled: "What kind of person do you think Pan'er is?"
When Gao Wei heard that Tu Zhen suddenly changed his name, he became more and more confused.He had no choice but to change his address and said: "Uncle Xue is a very pure person."
"Pure?" Tu Zhen smiled playfully, and ordered softly, "Be more specific."
Gao Wei saw that Tu Zhen didn't care about the details of calling Xue Pan the master of the Xue family, so he consciously touched Tu Zhen's thoughts, and quickly said: "Master Xue's business methods need not be elaborated. Fangzi is still a tea garden, or the heaven and earth in Jinling, and the glass workshop after that, all of which can be regarded as earning money. It is rare to be "doing business for the emperor", and the dividends handed over in the past few years are all worth it. Most of the tax revenue from the imperial court. Therefore, the holy majesty bestowed a long grace that was not born in the world, and the Xue family was granted the title of marquis by virtue of business—"
Tu Zhen waved his hands a little funny and said, "I'm asking you to comment on Pan'er, not to say good things about him."
"Yes!" Gao Wei nodded embarrassingly, and then said: "I think that Mr. Xue is a rare and pure person. He doesn't rely entirely on interests when interacting with others, but only on sincerity. This kind of temperament is rare. .”
After talking for a long time, they were all good words of "singing praises".Tu Zhen knew that half of this was Gao Weizhen's thinking, and the other was the result of "observing words and colors".Then he knew that with Gao Wei's prudence, it would be difficult for him to ask anything else.
Shaking his head, Tu Zhen asked meaningfully: "In my impression, Pan'er has always been a child who can't bear a little bit of grievance. Back then, it was just because of a small matter, that he almost turned his face against me, and I even paid for it. A new bottle of Black Jade Intermittent Ointment... After so many years, Pan'er has improved a bit?"
Progressive?Gao Wei thought of Xue Pan's constant struggle on the way to Beijing, looked at Tu Zhen with a smile on his face, moved his lips for a long time, and finally said: "Mr. After so many years now...Master Xue must have improved a bit."
"Really?" Tu Zhen hooked the corners of his mouth, reached out to pick up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said casually: "The palace has been ups and downs for a long time, and sometimes I really miss the days when I was in Jinling. He is like a piece of white paper, which makes people see clearly. When you are with him, you don't have to think about the purpose of what he says and does, which makes people feel very relaxed. So whenever I have free time, I will When he called into Beijing, it was also a reminiscence of the frivolity of his youth. Hearing Gao Qing say this, I felt a little overwhelmed. I don’t know whether I should be happy at Pan’er’s progress, or feel disappointed that he has lost the past of……"
Tu Zhen didn't say that half of the sentence in the end.The teacup in his hand was gently put down, and there was a crisp sound of a slight collision of porcelain, which fell in Gao Wei's ears. For some reason, he was startled.
So the monarch and the ministers all fell silent, and the atmosphere was depressingly quiet.Gao Wei gradually adjusted his breathing to make his sense of existence less intense.And Tu Zhen was sitting behind the imperial case with a dazed expression, and the incense burner beside him was burning sandalwood, which had a soothing effect.The dense sandalwood gradually blurred Tu Zhen's face...
Just when the atmosphere was suppressed to its peak, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.Eunuch Dai Quan said loudly: "Your Majesty Qizuo, Admiral Shi Kuohai of the Nine Gates has an important meeting with him."
"Biography!" Tu Zhen said in a deep voice.
After a while, Shi Kuohai, the admiral of the Nine Gates with a unicorn pattern embroidered on his chest, hurried in.He bowed and knelt down and said: "The commander of the nine infantry patrolling the fifth battalion, Shi Kuohai, pays homage to the Holy Majesty. Long live my emperor."
"Aiqing is flat." Tu Zhen raised his hand and asked calmly, "What's the matter with Aiqing?"
"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, Nan'an County Prince's Mansion...was smashed. The gate of Nan'an County's Prince's Mansion was blocked by people, and they were not allowed to enter or leave. The minister came here to ask for an order, how to deal with this matter." Finished speaking, Shi Kuo The sea touched the ground with its head, and there was no more words.
"What?" Tu Zhen Longyan was shocked, stretched out his hand and slapped the imperial case hard, and reprimanded: "Nonsense. The king of Nan'an County is a king with a different surname who has made great military achievements. What happened? What did you, the admiral of the nine sects, do? When you encounter such a thing, you should deal with it quickly. The King of Nan'an is not in the capital now, and you have made the Concubine Nan'an and the Princess of Nan'an feel wronged?"
As soon as he blurted out, both he and Gao Wei had a weird illusion, could it be...
Sure enough, Shi Kuohai said calmly, "I have the heavy responsibility of guarding the capital, so I rushed to the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion immediately. But the person who made trouble held His Majesty's Panlong Jade Pendant, saying that he was doing justice for the heavens... ...The humble minister did not dare to act rashly."
Doing justice for the sky, he has watched too much Water Margin, right?
When Tu Zhen heard the words, he just felt fooled, and his mind went blank.After glaring at Gao Wei viciously, Tu Zhen gritted his teeth and asked, "Didn't you say that he has grown up?"
...I want to say that his ability to torture people and cause trouble has improved.
Gao Wei blinked innocently, bowed his head and dared not speak.
Tu Zhen took a deep breath and asked Shi Kuohai, "How is Pan'er?"
Paner?Shi Kuohai looked up at Tu Zhen in confusion, not knowing who he was talking about.
Gao Wei, who was at the side, kindly pointed out: "It's the one who is in Nan'an County Prince's Mansion...cough cough...."
Shi Kuohai suddenly realized, bowed his head and said: "That person is fine, he was full of confidence when he scolded the street, but he fainted twice... When the minister came over, Princess Nan'an was going to go to the palace to complain What! It's just that he was blocked by that person at the gate of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion..."
"Concubine Nan'an is going to enter the palace!" Tu Zhen sighed, stretched out his hand and said: "I know, you go down first!"
"This..." Shi Kuohai was a little dazed, and asked aloud: "The matter of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion..."
"It's up to you to deal with this matter." Tu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Back off!"
"...I will take my leave." After finishing speaking, Shi Kuohai saluted and took his leave.
After everyone retreated, Tu Zhen gave Gao Wei a vicious look again, and said, "What's going on here? Why is Pan'er still confronting Nan'an County Prince's Mansion?"
"I'm afraid it was also the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion who provoked it first." Gao Wei lowered his head and said slowly.He was the number one guard around Tu Zhen, so he knew a little bit about Tu Zhen's thoughts.Ever since Tu Zhen asked himself to go to Jinling to bring Xue Pan and his party back, Gao Wei has been paying close attention to Xue Pan's every move.He naturally knew about his experience in Dongping County Prince's Mansion today, combined with the fact that Nan'an County King sent invitations to Xue's mother and daughter in the afternoon... Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he still guessed it very closely.
Tu Zhen has been listening to Gao Wei's narration with a calm face.After hearing that the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion once again slandered his close and trustworthy heroes, his eyes lowered to hide the emotions in them.After pondering for a moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Show Qiankun Palace."
Seeing this, Gao Wei was startled.Knowing that the Holy Majesty was really angry this time.I don’t know if it’s because the Nan’an Prince’s Mansion’s repeated arrogance has touched the bottom line of the Holy Majesty, or because the person that Nan’an County’s Prince’s Mansion provoked this time is Xue Pan... In any case, Gao Wei, who has no good feelings for the Nan’an Prince’s Mansion, is happy to see it It was accomplished by Tu Zhen's shot.Although most of the courtiers had the impression that the Holy Majesty was a pure and filial prince who was favored by the Emperor without any influence or scheming.But only close officials like them know how many bloody methods the Holy Majesty has used behind his back to get to this point...
And Shi Kuohai was sent out by Tu Zhen with one sentence.All the way out of the palace, along the original road back to Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.When they were still far away from the Nan'an County Palace, they heard Xue Pan's angry shouts and Nan'an Dowager's angry scolding.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that this old lady is indeed a girl who grew up in a general family. This body is indeed much tougher than ordinary people.Tightening the reins and standing still at the corner, he saw his subordinates sneaking up.Shi Kuohai cleared his throat and asked, "How is it?"
"Just now, the uncle of the Xue family scolded himself dryly, and hired twenty pungent women from nowhere to cover their heads and faces and stand in front of the Nan'an County King's Mansion, cursing. The uncle of the Xue family directed their family The servants poured paint on the gate of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion—"
"Splash paint?" Shi Kuohai raised his eyebrows and asked in amazement.
Before the subordinate had time to reply, he heard Xue Pan in front of him yelling in anger again: "Don't you think that our Xue family has no color? Now I have to throw some color for you to see, so that you can call your Nan'an County Prince's Mansion a joke." A dog's eyes look at people's inferiority and see what is colorful."
"You are so courageous!" Concubine Nan'an was mad like mad, and regardless of her own identity, she came out of the inner door in a well-dressed and well-dressed look, and said brazenly: "It's just a small merchant, how dare you The following crimes, wanton in my Nan'an County Prince's Mansion—"
"How many times have you said this, you are not tired of crooked!" Xue Pan dug his ear piercings in his spare time, and said slowly: "Another thing, our Xue family is also a loyal prince personally appointed by the Holy One, although I personally feel that The name of the merchant is very nice, but I have to regret to tell you that our family is no longer a merchant."
As he said that, he looked at Concubine Nan'an's ordered clothes again, and said maliciously: "The color of your clothes is a bit monotonous, do you want me to help you color it?"
"What a crazy little dog, I'm going to the palace to meet the emperor now. Let him judge the old man. I have made great achievements in the Nan'an palace, and it's not your turn to be bullied by a dog slave. By that time, I hope you still have This kind of sarcastic talk is Xianxin." Nan'an Princess laughed angrily, threatening Xue Pan again and again.
"Sure enough, I need some color." Xue Pan ignored the words of Concubine Nan'an, turned around and ordered, "Splash it on me!"
"唰", "唰"——
Two buckets of yellow, yellow, green and green paint came out in response, and even though the servants of Nan'an County's palace stepped forward to resist, a small part of it was splashed on Nan'an Princess.
In an instant, the solemn and solemn image of Concubine Nan'an was completely destroyed.Staring at the paint all over her head and face, Concubine Nan'an pointed at Xue Pan angrily and said, "You, you—"
Without saying a word, he rolled his eyes angrily and passed out again.A group of servant girls behind him hurriedly helped him into the inner courtyard.
Seeing their master being humiliated, all the servants of the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an immediately swarmed up, but they were beaten back again by the servants of the Xue family who had prepared long ago with steel pipes.Under the wave of collision, three or five more seriously injured patients, with broken arms and legs, were carried behind the door.
All the servants of the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County piled up at the door full of righteous indignation, glaring at Xue's family members fiercely, but dared not take half a step forward.He just stared at everyone in the Xue family with a vicious gaze of wanting to choose someone.
After all years of glory and domineering, they have long been accustomed to a superior position, accustomed to bossing around others.Even first-rank officials would speak politely when they saw them, but now they are insulted like this by a bunch of vulgar merchants...
"Yo, these complexions are so black! Keep splashing on me. When they say they have seen enough colors, when will you stop." Xue Pan sneered and said loudly.
All the servants suddenly agreed.Buckets of paint were poured towards Nan'an County Palace.The original vermilion gate, the snow-white stone lion, the majestic plaque...all have been splashed with colorful paints, setting off a group of wounded servants, looking indescribably miserable.
Xue Pan even played tricks by setting up two bonfires in front of the Nan'an Prince's Mansion.Under the light of the soaring fire, the night was rendered like day.From time to time, Xue Pan instructed his servants to throw the burnt black charcoal onto the stone steps of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, and a bunch of servants of Nan'an County's Prince's Mansion hurriedly evaded like wild dogs and chickens being chased away.
Xue Pan went to battle in person, and wrote crookedly in ink on the white powder walls on both sides of Nan'an County's palace, "Nan'an Palace is shameless, it's too arrogant to bully others. If you can't marry an old maid, you dare to speak arrogantly."
The handwriting is clear and large, and it can be seen clearly even hundreds of steps away.Numerous ordinary people or servants dressed as ordinary people watched from a distance pointing and pointing, and from time to time there were traces of people and horses galloping around.However, within half a day, even though no one was present in person, the rumors spread among the wealthy and dignitaries as well as the common people.
Lin Mozhi sighed lightly, tugged on Xue Pan's sleeve and said, "It's almost enough, don't go too far."
"What I'm doing now is already too much in their eyes. Anyway, no matter what I do, they don't want to see it. Why don't I offend them to death directly, so that others know that our Xue family is not easy to bully." Xue Panshen Lazy, he casually ordered: "I'm a little tired after standing for so long, who can bring me a chair?"
As soon as the voice fell, a servant responded immediately.Two boys in coarse clothes hurried away, but after a while, a sandalwood grand master's chair came out from nowhere.Xue Pan sat on it comfortably, and someone even served a cup of milk tea.Xue Pan glanced at the man approvingly, and said, "It's really going to happen, I like it!"
Lin Mozhi shook his head helplessly, and stopped persuading him.
Just after taking a sip of milk tea, I saw a fiery red figure suddenly popping out of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, pointing at Xue Pan angrily and saying, "You are a big man, what's the point of bullying us weak girls? My ancestors are bloody!" You have made great achievements in the battle. Without the illustrious military exploits of my ancestors, how can you, a pariah, be named a marquis. Now my brother is still fighting in the frontier. If you wait for my brother to come back, you will be in trouble Die... Our Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is not to be bullied by you untouchables."
Xue Pan snorted, looked the woman up and down, shook his head and said with a smile: "It really is quite retarded."
Although the woman did not understand Xue Pan's words, seeing Xue Pan's expression, she knew that it was not a good word, and she couldn't help saying angrily: "You know that if you offend our Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, it is equivalent to offending all the four kings and eight princes— —”
"Don't put gold on your face." Xue Pan handed some cold milk tea to the servant beside him, and said slowly with his arms around his shoulders: "What four kings and eight males, among them, we are friends with our Xue family. You should be more friendly with your Nan'an County Prince's Mansion! Otherwise, at this time, everyone is still just watching the fun and no one will intercede for you. It can be seen that your Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is very popular. Not so bad! Besides, my mother and my sister were invited to your house in the afternoon. They are also a group of old and weak women and children. How can you be so cruel as to bully them? Everyone is just half-hearted, so don’t blame anyone! "
"You—" the girl was furious, and spat again and again: "What kind of thing are you, do you need others to reason? Our Nan'an Palace can crush you to death with one finger—"
"By the way, who are you?" Xue Pan asked unhurriedly.
When the girl heard this, she immediately raised her head proudly, and said loudly, "I am the princess of Nan'an—"
"So you are that unmarriageable spinster who bullied my sister!" Xue Pan pretended to be surprised.Looking up and down at Princess Nan'an, I saw that she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pretty face, exquisite figure, and a coquettish physique.
It's a pity that in the Dayong Dynasty, who was about to marry at the age of 15, and hadn't married at such an age, it was inevitable that there would be more gossip.And because she repeatedly hinted that King Beijing was fruitless, Princess Nan'an felt a little inferior.Therefore, Xue Pan's words turned into anger from embarrassment, and his face was ferocious.Before I could open my mouth to yell and curse, I heard Xue Pan Shiran say: "Originally, you are a woman in a deep house, and I have nothing to do if the cat can't die in the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion. But who told you to throw yourself into a trap, it's so big He came out grinningly. Wouldn’t it be a pity if I didn’t fulfill you?”
Then, he snapped his fingers casually, raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you feel inferior because you are not as good-looking as my sister and uttered bad words, then I will help you."
Before he could finish a sentence, he saw the screwdriver watch his words and expressions, and immediately poured the oil bucket on it.Princess Nan'an was caught off guard by being splashed, and a jet of black paint dyed her whole body in an instant. Even the dye got into her mouth before she could close it in time, and her teeth became black.The princess of Nan'an was stunned for a moment. Seeing this, a few narrow-minded servants quickly poured several barrels of dye on it. For a while, red, yellow, blue, purple... indescribably colorful, but also It's very "colorful".
Xue Pan was also taken aback, and immediately sat up straight, looked at Princess Nan'an for a while, and suddenly said: "Who did this, it's quite impressionistic?"
Lin Mozhi couldn't help curling his lips, and reached out to rub Xue Pan's hair.
The princess of Nan'an was completely stunned.He was dumbfounded for a while, then suddenly shouted in a stern voice: "I'm going to kill you——"
"This brother-in-law's elder brother, can you give Xiao Wang some face, how is this matter so far?"
A clear and strong voice interrupted the roar of Princess Nan'an.Everyone followed the prestige, but they saw that it was the king of Dongping County who had changed into ordinary clothes and came on horseback.The one next to him is also a young man who is still young and weak. He is beautiful and beautiful, and he is the well-known king of Beijing.Zhen Baoyu was one horse behind the two, and was looking at Xue Pan worriedly.
The Nan'an County Master originally had a grim expression, looking like he wanted to choose someone crazy and love him.Unexpectedly, he suddenly met the beloved King of Beijing.Immediately showed a shy girl attitude.A pair of catkins are so shy that they can't be played with if they are wrapped around their clothes.It's a pity that her body is brightly colored. It would be fine if she was generous, but the more coquettish she is, the more ridiculous she is.Seeing this, Xue Pan sneered unceremoniously, "People don't pay attention to you at all, and you still look like a nymphomaniac. I have never seen a man before!"
"Shut up!" Princess Nan'an shouted hoarsely.The pupils were red and the sockets were about to crack.Gritting his teeth, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.The hideous look actually had a terrifying feeling.
Seeing this, the king of Dongping County frowned and said, "You are a girl, it is better to be more reserved. What is it like now, why don't you go back soon?"
"Brother-in-law, you are my brother-in-law, and you actually help outsiders to bully me." Princess Nan'an pointed at Dongping County King madly and said with hatred: "Sure enough, I was so fascinated by that bastard Zhen Wan that I don't even want face gone."
Seeing this, the King of Dongping immediately turned gloomy.Even King Beijing Jing, who has always been refined and gentle, couldn't help frowning and looking sideways.
Xue Pan added fuel to the flames and said, "The King of Dongping is also doing it for your own good. You are a mad dog, whoever bites whom?"
"Shut up." Princess Nan'an shouted out of tune. "Your Xue family is a pariah, a scumbag. The daughter you gave birth to is as shameless as the Zhen family's. She knows how to seduce before she's too young—"
"Kang"——
Xue Pan was so angry that he even swung the grand master's chair beside him and threw it at Princess Nan'an.Fortunately, Princess Nan'an saw the opportunity early and immediately dodged away.The grand teacher's chair hit the door frame beside it with a "boom", and even smashed a big gap in the door frame.After the chair fell to the ground, it fell apart crookedly.It can be seen how powerful Xue Pan is.
"If you say one more thing, believe it or not, I will find someone to take your turn now!" Xue Pan said coldly with a blank face.
The princess of Nan'an was frightened by Xue Pan's aura and fell silent for a while, her lips buzzed for a while, but she couldn't even speak a word.
Seeing this, Zhen Baoyu shook his head and smiled wryly.He grew up with Xue Pan since he was a child, and he understands this Fa Xiaoer to the bone.This person is the master who doesn't understand the importance of eyebrows and eyes. If he likes you, he can't wait to pile up all the good things in the world in front of you. If you have any troubles, go to him, as long as he can do it. If you don't say anything, I can help you with things.If he hates you, he won't close his eyes and pretend not to see you. He will definitely offend you and punish you to death, wishing that the two of them can only live as one to be happy!Fortunately, Xue Pan has always been a carefree person, and he doesn't have so many serious moments.He has never seen Xue Pan really angry for so many years.If we talk about the only Nilin... I'm afraid it's the Xue family!
Now Fengruozhen's younger sister is being insulted like this...
Zhen Baoyu sighed with a splitting headache.He brought out his brother-in-law to save the scene, but he didn't want the Xue family and the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion to get into a fight that would end badly.But now it seems...
Zhen Baoyu lowered his head and instantly concealed the murderous intent in his eyes.
Before he went to Beijing, his father once said to himself that although he has not expressed his attitude clearly today, his impression of the four princes and eight princes is indeed not very good, especially the princes of the opposite sex who have been named county kings but do not know how to restrain themselves...
Not to mention what Zhen Baoyu was thinking.The Princess Nan'an was suddenly frightened by Xue Pan's actions, and subconsciously wanted to seek comfort from King Beijing, but after struggling for a long time, she couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment when he saw that King Beijing didn't even look at her.After stomping his feet, he burst into tears and ran back to Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.Before leaving, he did not forget to say harsh words: "Xue Pan, I will not let you go..."
The chief official of the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion couldn't hide his shame and anger and said: "Xue Pan, although your Xue family is very popular nowadays, you can't do things too badly. As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. After our lord returns to Beijing, I want to see how long you can be arrogant?"
"Ah..." Xue Pan did not have the sternness just now, stretched his waist very comfortably, then walked up to the two princes and bowed to salute: "Xue Pan has met the two princes, let the two The prince laughed."
"It's not a joke, but Xiao Wang was really taken aback!" Duke Dongping waved his hand at Xue Pan, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang just listened to Baoyu's words, and he still doesn't agree with Brother Xue's reckless behavior. I broke into a cold sweat. Then I invited Brother Beijing to come over and talk about peace... Now it seems that Brother Xue came prepared. Such a favor is really enviable!"
As he said that, he looked at the Panlong jade pendant on Xue Pan's waist without any trace of sight.Although it was the first time when the lanterns came on, the front of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion was as bright as day because of the two bonfires, and the words "Fourth Prince Tuzhen" on the jade pendant could just be seen.Wang Qiang of Dongping County suppressed the surprise in his heart.He didn't believe what the market said when he came here just now, but now it seems...
The smile on Dongping County King's face became more and more real, and he said to Xue Pan meaningfully: "I am deeply favored by the emperor, little brother Xue, please don't disappoint the kindness of the Holy Majesty!"
Xue Pan looked at the "you understand" expression on Dongping County King's face, scratched his head blankly, nodded and said, "That's natural."
On the other side, the King of Beijing Jing was not willing to be lonely and said pleasantly: "Xiao Wang has heard of the name 'Jinling Little God of Wealth' a long time ago, seeing a real person today is really extraordinary!"
And here, Xue Pan was also very curious about the King of Beijing Jing who had attracted most of the attention after only a few appearances in the Dream of the Red Chamber, and immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The King of Beijing Jing is probably saying that I am causing trouble. The ability to pretend to be a tiger is extraordinary!"
King Beijing Jing was astonished.He has always dealt with princes and nobles, most of them speak very reservedly and prefer to practice Tai Chi, when has he ever seen such straightforward speech.However, he was quick thinking, and immediately nodded and smiled: "In fact, taking advantage of the situation is also a means. For most people, Brother Xue's luck is really enviable."
One meritorious service comes from the dragon, and he is named a marquis by business.The glory of such a carp leaping over the dragon's gate is a fortune that makes most people jealous.What's more, today even gave him the jade badge of the status of the prince.Unfortunately--
King Bei Jing looked at Xue Pan who looked calm and shook his head secretly.Rigidity is extremely easy to break, and the publicity that is too sharp and unrestrained will sting the eyes of others.Such a person doesn't have much scheming, if there is no protection from that person, I'm afraid...
Xue Pan didn't know what King Beijing was thinking.Although he was very curious about this man, the King of Dongping County was the backup that Zhen Baoyu brought him. Looking at the words and deeds of the King of Dongping County, Xue Pan felt that he was actually full of kindness towards him.I couldn't help but follow suit and said: "After tossing and tossing for so long, I'm really tired. Since the prince has given such an order, then I will naturally obey. But wait for me to say a word to understand this matter, okay?"
The king of Dongping County was dumbfounded by Xue Pan's nondescript words.In the end, he had no choice but to wave his hands helplessly and said, "It's up to you!"
So Xue Pan responded with a grin.Turning around, clearing his throat, he said to the chief official in Nan'an County's Palace: "You just said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. I am too lazy to talk to you. But so that you people in Nan'an County's Palace will know, I, Xue Pan, do not think I am a gentleman, so I have the right to be a villain!"
While speaking, he suddenly said in a gloomy voice: "The villain takes revenge from morning to night. I will put it aside today, and our relationship is settled. Your Nan'an Palace has thousands of means, even if you use them .I don’t believe it anymore, I’m a villain and I can’t beat you hypocrites!”
Finally, he waved his hands and sang loudly: "Boys, go home—"
"Yes!" Xue's servants responded in unison.The sound resounded through the sky.
This night, I don't know how many people in Beijing stayed up all night...
+ + + + + + + + + + + + +
Note:
The inspiration for the phrase "the villain's revenge from morning to night" comes from a chapter titled "Revenge from morning to night" in Mao Ni Da's "Jian Ke"
Auba felt that it was appropriate, so he moved it over and used it (because I really didn’t think of a better language. And after writing it, I felt very familiar. After thinking for a long time, I finally realized that it turned out to be this QAQ)
Imperial City, Royal Study Room.Tu Zhen sat behind the imperial case, reviewing the memorial seriously.Gao Wei knelt down respectfully.The floor tiles that can be used to judge people can reveal the person's hair, and Gao Wei stared at his own reflection, in a daze.
After a while, Tu Zhen suddenly said, "Xue Pan has already entered Beijing."
Although it is a question, what is available is a declarative tone.Gao Wei didn't know what his master was thinking, so he could only bow his head and say, "Yes."
"You gave him the jade pendant." Tu Zhen asked lightly again.
Gao Wei still should be.
Tu Zhen was silent again.After about ten breaths, Tu Zhen asked aloud, "Do you think he can use this jade pendant?"
Gao Wei swallowed his saliva, pondered for a long time, and then said cautiously: "The Holy Majesty handed over the jade tablet to Xue Pan, because he dotes on Xue Pan. If Xue Pan is indiscriminate, he will show it off...I'm afraid It will disappoint the good intentions of the Holy Majesty."
Tu Zhen chuckled: "What kind of person do you think Pan'er is?"
When Gao Wei heard that Tu Zhen suddenly changed his name, he became more and more confused.He had no choice but to change his address and said: "Uncle Xue is a very pure person."
"Pure?" Tu Zhen smiled playfully, and ordered softly, "Be more specific."
Gao Wei saw that Tu Zhen didn't care about the details of calling Xue Pan the master of the Xue family, so he consciously touched Tu Zhen's thoughts, and quickly said: "Master Xue's business methods need not be elaborated. Fangzi is still a tea garden, or the heaven and earth in Jinling, and the glass workshop after that, all of which can be regarded as earning money. It is rare to be "doing business for the emperor", and the dividends handed over in the past few years are all worth it. Most of the tax revenue from the imperial court. Therefore, the holy majesty bestowed a long grace that was not born in the world, and the Xue family was granted the title of marquis by virtue of business—"
Tu Zhen waved his hands a little funny and said, "I'm asking you to comment on Pan'er, not to say good things about him."
"Yes!" Gao Wei nodded embarrassingly, and then said: "I think that Mr. Xue is a rare and pure person. He doesn't rely entirely on interests when interacting with others, but only on sincerity. This kind of temperament is rare. .”
After talking for a long time, they were all good words of "singing praises".Tu Zhen knew that half of this was Gao Weizhen's thinking, and the other was the result of "observing words and colors".Then he knew that with Gao Wei's prudence, it would be difficult for him to ask anything else.
Shaking his head, Tu Zhen asked meaningfully: "In my impression, Pan'er has always been a child who can't bear a little bit of grievance. Back then, it was just because of a small matter, that he almost turned his face against me, and I even paid for it. A new bottle of Black Jade Intermittent Ointment... After so many years, Pan'er has improved a bit?"
Progressive?Gao Wei thought of Xue Pan's constant struggle on the way to Beijing, looked at Tu Zhen with a smile on his face, moved his lips for a long time, and finally said: "Mr. After so many years now...Master Xue must have improved a bit."
"Really?" Tu Zhen hooked the corners of his mouth, reached out to pick up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said casually: "The palace has been ups and downs for a long time, and sometimes I really miss the days when I was in Jinling. He is like a piece of white paper, which makes people see clearly. When you are with him, you don't have to think about the purpose of what he says and does, which makes people feel very relaxed. So whenever I have free time, I will When he called into Beijing, it was also a reminiscence of the frivolity of his youth. Hearing Gao Qing say this, I felt a little overwhelmed. I don’t know whether I should be happy at Pan’er’s progress, or feel disappointed that he has lost the past of……"
Tu Zhen didn't say that half of the sentence in the end.The teacup in his hand was gently put down, and there was a crisp sound of a slight collision of porcelain, which fell in Gao Wei's ears. For some reason, he was startled.
So the monarch and the ministers all fell silent, and the atmosphere was depressingly quiet.Gao Wei gradually adjusted his breathing to make his sense of existence less intense.And Tu Zhen was sitting behind the imperial case with a dazed expression, and the incense burner beside him was burning sandalwood, which had a soothing effect.The dense sandalwood gradually blurred Tu Zhen's face...
Just when the atmosphere was suppressed to its peak, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.Eunuch Dai Quan said loudly: "Your Majesty Qizuo, Admiral Shi Kuohai of the Nine Gates has an important meeting with him."
"Biography!" Tu Zhen said in a deep voice.
After a while, Shi Kuohai, the admiral of the Nine Gates with a unicorn pattern embroidered on his chest, hurried in.He bowed and knelt down and said: "The commander of the nine infantry patrolling the fifth battalion, Shi Kuohai, pays homage to the Holy Majesty. Long live my emperor."
"Aiqing is flat." Tu Zhen raised his hand and asked calmly, "What's the matter with Aiqing?"
"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, Nan'an County Prince's Mansion...was smashed. The gate of Nan'an County's Prince's Mansion was blocked by people, and they were not allowed to enter or leave. The minister came here to ask for an order, how to deal with this matter." Finished speaking, Shi Kuo The sea touched the ground with its head, and there was no more words.
"What?" Tu Zhen Longyan was shocked, stretched out his hand and slapped the imperial case hard, and reprimanded: "Nonsense. The king of Nan'an County is a king with a different surname who has made great military achievements. What happened? What did you, the admiral of the nine sects, do? When you encounter such a thing, you should deal with it quickly. The King of Nan'an is not in the capital now, and you have made the Concubine Nan'an and the Princess of Nan'an feel wronged?"
As soon as he blurted out, both he and Gao Wei had a weird illusion, could it be...
Sure enough, Shi Kuohai said calmly, "I have the heavy responsibility of guarding the capital, so I rushed to the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion immediately. But the person who made trouble held His Majesty's Panlong Jade Pendant, saying that he was doing justice for the heavens... ...The humble minister did not dare to act rashly."
Doing justice for the sky, he has watched too much Water Margin, right?
When Tu Zhen heard the words, he just felt fooled, and his mind went blank.After glaring at Gao Wei viciously, Tu Zhen gritted his teeth and asked, "Didn't you say that he has grown up?"
...I want to say that his ability to torture people and cause trouble has improved.
Gao Wei blinked innocently, bowed his head and dared not speak.
Tu Zhen took a deep breath and asked Shi Kuohai, "How is Pan'er?"
Paner?Shi Kuohai looked up at Tu Zhen in confusion, not knowing who he was talking about.
Gao Wei, who was at the side, kindly pointed out: "It's the one who is in Nan'an County Prince's Mansion...cough cough...."
Shi Kuohai suddenly realized, bowed his head and said: "That person is fine, he was full of confidence when he scolded the street, but he fainted twice... When the minister came over, Princess Nan'an was going to go to the palace to complain What! It's just that he was blocked by that person at the gate of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion..."
"Concubine Nan'an is going to enter the palace!" Tu Zhen sighed, stretched out his hand and said: "I know, you go down first!"
"This..." Shi Kuohai was a little dazed, and asked aloud: "The matter of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion..."
"It's up to you to deal with this matter." Tu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Back off!"
"...I will take my leave." After finishing speaking, Shi Kuohai saluted and took his leave.
After everyone retreated, Tu Zhen gave Gao Wei a vicious look again, and said, "What's going on here? Why is Pan'er still confronting Nan'an County Prince's Mansion?"
"I'm afraid it was also the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion who provoked it first." Gao Wei lowered his head and said slowly.He was the number one guard around Tu Zhen, so he knew a little bit about Tu Zhen's thoughts.Ever since Tu Zhen asked himself to go to Jinling to bring Xue Pan and his party back, Gao Wei has been paying close attention to Xue Pan's every move.He naturally knew about his experience in Dongping County Prince's Mansion today, combined with the fact that Nan'an County King sent invitations to Xue's mother and daughter in the afternoon... Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he still guessed it very closely.
Tu Zhen has been listening to Gao Wei's narration with a calm face.After hearing that the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion once again slandered his close and trustworthy heroes, his eyes lowered to hide the emotions in them.After pondering for a moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Show Qiankun Palace."
Seeing this, Gao Wei was startled.Knowing that the Holy Majesty was really angry this time.I don’t know if it’s because the Nan’an Prince’s Mansion’s repeated arrogance has touched the bottom line of the Holy Majesty, or because the person that Nan’an County’s Prince’s Mansion provoked this time is Xue Pan... In any case, Gao Wei, who has no good feelings for the Nan’an Prince’s Mansion, is happy to see it It was accomplished by Tu Zhen's shot.Although most of the courtiers had the impression that the Holy Majesty was a pure and filial prince who was favored by the Emperor without any influence or scheming.But only close officials like them know how many bloody methods the Holy Majesty has used behind his back to get to this point...
And Shi Kuohai was sent out by Tu Zhen with one sentence.All the way out of the palace, along the original road back to Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.When they were still far away from the Nan'an County Palace, they heard Xue Pan's angry shouts and Nan'an Dowager's angry scolding.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that this old lady is indeed a girl who grew up in a general family. This body is indeed much tougher than ordinary people.Tightening the reins and standing still at the corner, he saw his subordinates sneaking up.Shi Kuohai cleared his throat and asked, "How is it?"
"Just now, the uncle of the Xue family scolded himself dryly, and hired twenty pungent women from nowhere to cover their heads and faces and stand in front of the Nan'an County King's Mansion, cursing. The uncle of the Xue family directed their family The servants poured paint on the gate of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion—"
"Splash paint?" Shi Kuohai raised his eyebrows and asked in amazement.
Before the subordinate had time to reply, he heard Xue Pan in front of him yelling in anger again: "Don't you think that our Xue family has no color? Now I have to throw some color for you to see, so that you can call your Nan'an County Prince's Mansion a joke." A dog's eyes look at people's inferiority and see what is colorful."
"You are so courageous!" Concubine Nan'an was mad like mad, and regardless of her own identity, she came out of the inner door in a well-dressed and well-dressed look, and said brazenly: "It's just a small merchant, how dare you The following crimes, wanton in my Nan'an County Prince's Mansion—"
"How many times have you said this, you are not tired of crooked!" Xue Pan dug his ear piercings in his spare time, and said slowly: "Another thing, our Xue family is also a loyal prince personally appointed by the Holy One, although I personally feel that The name of the merchant is very nice, but I have to regret to tell you that our family is no longer a merchant."
As he said that, he looked at Concubine Nan'an's ordered clothes again, and said maliciously: "The color of your clothes is a bit monotonous, do you want me to help you color it?"
"What a crazy little dog, I'm going to the palace to meet the emperor now. Let him judge the old man. I have made great achievements in the Nan'an palace, and it's not your turn to be bullied by a dog slave. By that time, I hope you still have This kind of sarcastic talk is Xianxin." Nan'an Princess laughed angrily, threatening Xue Pan again and again.
"Sure enough, I need some color." Xue Pan ignored the words of Concubine Nan'an, turned around and ordered, "Splash it on me!"
"唰", "唰"——
Two buckets of yellow, yellow, green and green paint came out in response, and even though the servants of Nan'an County's palace stepped forward to resist, a small part of it was splashed on Nan'an Princess.
In an instant, the solemn and solemn image of Concubine Nan'an was completely destroyed.Staring at the paint all over her head and face, Concubine Nan'an pointed at Xue Pan angrily and said, "You, you—"
Without saying a word, he rolled his eyes angrily and passed out again.A group of servant girls behind him hurriedly helped him into the inner courtyard.
Seeing their master being humiliated, all the servants of the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an immediately swarmed up, but they were beaten back again by the servants of the Xue family who had prepared long ago with steel pipes.Under the wave of collision, three or five more seriously injured patients, with broken arms and legs, were carried behind the door.
All the servants of the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County piled up at the door full of righteous indignation, glaring at Xue's family members fiercely, but dared not take half a step forward.He just stared at everyone in the Xue family with a vicious gaze of wanting to choose someone.
After all years of glory and domineering, they have long been accustomed to a superior position, accustomed to bossing around others.Even first-rank officials would speak politely when they saw them, but now they are insulted like this by a bunch of vulgar merchants...
"Yo, these complexions are so black! Keep splashing on me. When they say they have seen enough colors, when will you stop." Xue Pan sneered and said loudly.
All the servants suddenly agreed.Buckets of paint were poured towards Nan'an County Palace.The original vermilion gate, the snow-white stone lion, the majestic plaque...all have been splashed with colorful paints, setting off a group of wounded servants, looking indescribably miserable.
Xue Pan even played tricks by setting up two bonfires in front of the Nan'an Prince's Mansion.Under the light of the soaring fire, the night was rendered like day.From time to time, Xue Pan instructed his servants to throw the burnt black charcoal onto the stone steps of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, and a bunch of servants of Nan'an County's Prince's Mansion hurriedly evaded like wild dogs and chickens being chased away.
Xue Pan went to battle in person, and wrote crookedly in ink on the white powder walls on both sides of Nan'an County's palace, "Nan'an Palace is shameless, it's too arrogant to bully others. If you can't marry an old maid, you dare to speak arrogantly."
The handwriting is clear and large, and it can be seen clearly even hundreds of steps away.Numerous ordinary people or servants dressed as ordinary people watched from a distance pointing and pointing, and from time to time there were traces of people and horses galloping around.However, within half a day, even though no one was present in person, the rumors spread among the wealthy and dignitaries as well as the common people.
Lin Mozhi sighed lightly, tugged on Xue Pan's sleeve and said, "It's almost enough, don't go too far."
"What I'm doing now is already too much in their eyes. Anyway, no matter what I do, they don't want to see it. Why don't I offend them to death directly, so that others know that our Xue family is not easy to bully." Xue Panshen Lazy, he casually ordered: "I'm a little tired after standing for so long, who can bring me a chair?"
As soon as the voice fell, a servant responded immediately.Two boys in coarse clothes hurried away, but after a while, a sandalwood grand master's chair came out from nowhere.Xue Pan sat on it comfortably, and someone even served a cup of milk tea.Xue Pan glanced at the man approvingly, and said, "It's really going to happen, I like it!"
Lin Mozhi shook his head helplessly, and stopped persuading him.
Just after taking a sip of milk tea, I saw a fiery red figure suddenly popping out of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, pointing at Xue Pan angrily and saying, "You are a big man, what's the point of bullying us weak girls? My ancestors are bloody!" You have made great achievements in the battle. Without the illustrious military exploits of my ancestors, how can you, a pariah, be named a marquis. Now my brother is still fighting in the frontier. If you wait for my brother to come back, you will be in trouble Die... Our Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is not to be bullied by you untouchables."
Xue Pan snorted, looked the woman up and down, shook his head and said with a smile: "It really is quite retarded."
Although the woman did not understand Xue Pan's words, seeing Xue Pan's expression, she knew that it was not a good word, and she couldn't help saying angrily: "You know that if you offend our Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, it is equivalent to offending all the four kings and eight princes— —”
"Don't put gold on your face." Xue Pan handed some cold milk tea to the servant beside him, and said slowly with his arms around his shoulders: "What four kings and eight males, among them, we are friends with our Xue family. You should be more friendly with your Nan'an County Prince's Mansion! Otherwise, at this time, everyone is still just watching the fun and no one will intercede for you. It can be seen that your Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is very popular. Not so bad! Besides, my mother and my sister were invited to your house in the afternoon. They are also a group of old and weak women and children. How can you be so cruel as to bully them? Everyone is just half-hearted, so don’t blame anyone! "
"You—" the girl was furious, and spat again and again: "What kind of thing are you, do you need others to reason? Our Nan'an Palace can crush you to death with one finger—"
"By the way, who are you?" Xue Pan asked unhurriedly.
When the girl heard this, she immediately raised her head proudly, and said loudly, "I am the princess of Nan'an—"
"So you are that unmarriageable spinster who bullied my sister!" Xue Pan pretended to be surprised.Looking up and down at Princess Nan'an, I saw that she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pretty face, exquisite figure, and a coquettish physique.
It's a pity that in the Dayong Dynasty, who was about to marry at the age of 15, and hadn't married at such an age, it was inevitable that there would be more gossip.And because she repeatedly hinted that King Beijing was fruitless, Princess Nan'an felt a little inferior.Therefore, Xue Pan's words turned into anger from embarrassment, and his face was ferocious.Before I could open my mouth to yell and curse, I heard Xue Pan Shiran say: "Originally, you are a woman in a deep house, and I have nothing to do if the cat can't die in the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion. But who told you to throw yourself into a trap, it's so big He came out grinningly. Wouldn’t it be a pity if I didn’t fulfill you?”
Then, he snapped his fingers casually, raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you feel inferior because you are not as good-looking as my sister and uttered bad words, then I will help you."
Before he could finish a sentence, he saw the screwdriver watch his words and expressions, and immediately poured the oil bucket on it.Princess Nan'an was caught off guard by being splashed, and a jet of black paint dyed her whole body in an instant. Even the dye got into her mouth before she could close it in time, and her teeth became black.The princess of Nan'an was stunned for a moment. Seeing this, a few narrow-minded servants quickly poured several barrels of dye on it. For a while, red, yellow, blue, purple... indescribably colorful, but also It's very "colorful".
Xue Pan was also taken aback, and immediately sat up straight, looked at Princess Nan'an for a while, and suddenly said: "Who did this, it's quite impressionistic?"
Lin Mozhi couldn't help curling his lips, and reached out to rub Xue Pan's hair.
The princess of Nan'an was completely stunned.He was dumbfounded for a while, then suddenly shouted in a stern voice: "I'm going to kill you——"
"This brother-in-law's elder brother, can you give Xiao Wang some face, how is this matter so far?"
A clear and strong voice interrupted the roar of Princess Nan'an.Everyone followed the prestige, but they saw that it was the king of Dongping County who had changed into ordinary clothes and came on horseback.The one next to him is also a young man who is still young and weak. He is beautiful and beautiful, and he is the well-known king of Beijing.Zhen Baoyu was one horse behind the two, and was looking at Xue Pan worriedly.
The Nan'an County Master originally had a grim expression, looking like he wanted to choose someone crazy and love him.Unexpectedly, he suddenly met the beloved King of Beijing.Immediately showed a shy girl attitude.A pair of catkins are so shy that they can't be played with if they are wrapped around their clothes.It's a pity that her body is brightly colored. It would be fine if she was generous, but the more coquettish she is, the more ridiculous she is.Seeing this, Xue Pan sneered unceremoniously, "People don't pay attention to you at all, and you still look like a nymphomaniac. I have never seen a man before!"
"Shut up!" Princess Nan'an shouted hoarsely.The pupils were red and the sockets were about to crack.Gritting his teeth, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.The hideous look actually had a terrifying feeling.
Seeing this, the king of Dongping County frowned and said, "You are a girl, it is better to be more reserved. What is it like now, why don't you go back soon?"
"Brother-in-law, you are my brother-in-law, and you actually help outsiders to bully me." Princess Nan'an pointed at Dongping County King madly and said with hatred: "Sure enough, I was so fascinated by that bastard Zhen Wan that I don't even want face gone."
Seeing this, the King of Dongping immediately turned gloomy.Even King Beijing Jing, who has always been refined and gentle, couldn't help frowning and looking sideways.
Xue Pan added fuel to the flames and said, "The King of Dongping is also doing it for your own good. You are a mad dog, whoever bites whom?"
"Shut up." Princess Nan'an shouted out of tune. "Your Xue family is a pariah, a scumbag. The daughter you gave birth to is as shameless as the Zhen family's. She knows how to seduce before she's too young—"
"Kang"——
Xue Pan was so angry that he even swung the grand master's chair beside him and threw it at Princess Nan'an.Fortunately, Princess Nan'an saw the opportunity early and immediately dodged away.The grand teacher's chair hit the door frame beside it with a "boom", and even smashed a big gap in the door frame.After the chair fell to the ground, it fell apart crookedly.It can be seen how powerful Xue Pan is.
"If you say one more thing, believe it or not, I will find someone to take your turn now!" Xue Pan said coldly with a blank face.
The princess of Nan'an was frightened by Xue Pan's aura and fell silent for a while, her lips buzzed for a while, but she couldn't even speak a word.
Seeing this, Zhen Baoyu shook his head and smiled wryly.He grew up with Xue Pan since he was a child, and he understands this Fa Xiaoer to the bone.This person is the master who doesn't understand the importance of eyebrows and eyes. If he likes you, he can't wait to pile up all the good things in the world in front of you. If you have any troubles, go to him, as long as he can do it. If you don't say anything, I can help you with things.If he hates you, he won't close his eyes and pretend not to see you. He will definitely offend you and punish you to death, wishing that the two of them can only live as one to be happy!Fortunately, Xue Pan has always been a carefree person, and he doesn't have so many serious moments.He has never seen Xue Pan really angry for so many years.If we talk about the only Nilin... I'm afraid it's the Xue family!
Now Fengruozhen's younger sister is being insulted like this...
Zhen Baoyu sighed with a splitting headache.He brought out his brother-in-law to save the scene, but he didn't want the Xue family and the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion to get into a fight that would end badly.But now it seems...
Zhen Baoyu lowered his head and instantly concealed the murderous intent in his eyes.
Before he went to Beijing, his father once said to himself that although he has not expressed his attitude clearly today, his impression of the four princes and eight princes is indeed not very good, especially the princes of the opposite sex who have been named county kings but do not know how to restrain themselves...
Not to mention what Zhen Baoyu was thinking.The Princess Nan'an was suddenly frightened by Xue Pan's actions, and subconsciously wanted to seek comfort from King Beijing, but after struggling for a long time, she couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment when he saw that King Beijing didn't even look at her.After stomping his feet, he burst into tears and ran back to Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.Before leaving, he did not forget to say harsh words: "Xue Pan, I will not let you go..."
The chief official of the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion couldn't hide his shame and anger and said: "Xue Pan, although your Xue family is very popular nowadays, you can't do things too badly. As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. After our lord returns to Beijing, I want to see how long you can be arrogant?"
"Ah..." Xue Pan did not have the sternness just now, stretched his waist very comfortably, then walked up to the two princes and bowed to salute: "Xue Pan has met the two princes, let the two The prince laughed."
"It's not a joke, but Xiao Wang was really taken aback!" Duke Dongping waved his hand at Xue Pan, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang just listened to Baoyu's words, and he still doesn't agree with Brother Xue's reckless behavior. I broke into a cold sweat. Then I invited Brother Beijing to come over and talk about peace... Now it seems that Brother Xue came prepared. Such a favor is really enviable!"
As he said that, he looked at the Panlong jade pendant on Xue Pan's waist without any trace of sight.Although it was the first time when the lanterns came on, the front of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion was as bright as day because of the two bonfires, and the words "Fourth Prince Tuzhen" on the jade pendant could just be seen.Wang Qiang of Dongping County suppressed the surprise in his heart.He didn't believe what the market said when he came here just now, but now it seems...
The smile on Dongping County King's face became more and more real, and he said to Xue Pan meaningfully: "I am deeply favored by the emperor, little brother Xue, please don't disappoint the kindness of the Holy Majesty!"
Xue Pan looked at the "you understand" expression on Dongping County King's face, scratched his head blankly, nodded and said, "That's natural."
On the other side, the King of Beijing Jing was not willing to be lonely and said pleasantly: "Xiao Wang has heard of the name 'Jinling Little God of Wealth' a long time ago, seeing a real person today is really extraordinary!"
And here, Xue Pan was also very curious about the King of Beijing Jing who had attracted most of the attention after only a few appearances in the Dream of the Red Chamber, and immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The King of Beijing Jing is probably saying that I am causing trouble. The ability to pretend to be a tiger is extraordinary!"
King Beijing Jing was astonished.He has always dealt with princes and nobles, most of them speak very reservedly and prefer to practice Tai Chi, when has he ever seen such straightforward speech.However, he was quick thinking, and immediately nodded and smiled: "In fact, taking advantage of the situation is also a means. For most people, Brother Xue's luck is really enviable."
One meritorious service comes from the dragon, and he is named a marquis by business.The glory of such a carp leaping over the dragon's gate is a fortune that makes most people jealous.What's more, today even gave him the jade badge of the status of the prince.Unfortunately--
King Bei Jing looked at Xue Pan who looked calm and shook his head secretly.Rigidity is extremely easy to break, and the publicity that is too sharp and unrestrained will sting the eyes of others.Such a person doesn't have much scheming, if there is no protection from that person, I'm afraid...
Xue Pan didn't know what King Beijing was thinking.Although he was very curious about this man, the King of Dongping County was the backup that Zhen Baoyu brought him. Looking at the words and deeds of the King of Dongping County, Xue Pan felt that he was actually full of kindness towards him.I couldn't help but follow suit and said: "After tossing and tossing for so long, I'm really tired. Since the prince has given such an order, then I will naturally obey. But wait for me to say a word to understand this matter, okay?"
The king of Dongping County was dumbfounded by Xue Pan's nondescript words.In the end, he had no choice but to wave his hands helplessly and said, "It's up to you!"
So Xue Pan responded with a grin.Turning around, clearing his throat, he said to the chief official in Nan'an County's Palace: "You just said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. I am too lazy to talk to you. But so that you people in Nan'an County's Palace will know, I, Xue Pan, do not think I am a gentleman, so I have the right to be a villain!"
While speaking, he suddenly said in a gloomy voice: "The villain takes revenge from morning to night. I will put it aside today, and our relationship is settled. Your Nan'an Palace has thousands of means, even if you use them .I don’t believe it anymore, I’m a villain and I can’t beat you hypocrites!”
Finally, he waved his hands and sang loudly: "Boys, go home—"
"Yes!" Xue's servants responded in unison.The sound resounded through the sky.
This night, I don't know how many people in Beijing stayed up all night...
+ + + + + + + + + + + + +
Note:
The inspiration for the phrase "the villain's revenge from morning to night" comes from a chapter titled "Revenge from morning to night" in Mao Ni Da's "Jian Ke"
Auba felt that it was appropriate, so he moved it over and used it (because I really didn’t think of a better language. And after writing it, I felt very familiar. After thinking for a long time, I finally realized that it turned out to be this QAQ)
