Xue Jiazi

Sometimes Xue Pan himself felt that there was a bit of mischief in his bones, because he used a large courtyard closest to the outside as a guest room. Hibiscus flowers were planted in the courtyard, which complemented the green bamboos near the Xiaoxiang Pavilion outside the courtyard wall. The beauty on the outside and the decoration on the inside mostly adopt the descriptions in the book. It may not be so complete and exquisite, but generally it is not bad. As a guest house, it also has some dignity. Lin Ruhai was very satisfied. Of course, they didn't know that this was in the middle of Xue Pan's dark taste. His idea was that the house that stinky stone can live in is in Xue's house, so it can only be a guest. The life of the hospital, not the special use of some precious eggs.

In the entire Xue family courtyard, the main house where the head of the family lived was named Xiaochuntang. The place on the axis is also a place near the pool, where willows are planted everywhere, so it has such a name.This was prepared for Xue Xun and his wife, while Xue Pan himself lived in Qiushuangzhai with osmanthus trees planted on the left, and Nuanxiangwu for Baochai on the right. In Xue Pan's view, the original Hengwu Garden It's a little unlucky, it's really inappropriate for my sister to continue to have anything to do with it, it's better to keep it for others to live in in the future.

Although it was only a temporary stay for a day or two, and they took out the garden, Jia Min, Lin Daiyu, and Lin Shuo were very happy when they received the invitation. They stayed in their hometown in Suzhou for several days. Greetings, sitting with people, and eating are also very boring. Children like them like this kind of socializing and entertainment, so when they heard some people were playing, they immediately urged Jia Min to pack the money and come over.

"Brother Xue, brother Xue."

Lin Shuo, who was only four years old, never stopped his eyes from getting off the carriage, and saw Xue Pan at a glance, but he had almost never seen Xue Pan, so naturally he didn't recognize him, but Lin Daiyu and Jia Min who came down from behind saw Xue Pan. As far as Xue Pan is very familiar, Lin Daiyu even introduced Xue Pan's identity to Lin Shuo in a low voice. Needless to say, just tell Lin Shuo that this brother is Xue Pan who brings a lot of delicious food and fun every year. Brother, then everything will be settled. This Lin Shuo is a naughty and smart boy. He may not remember enough other things, but he knows who sent those weird toys. Said, a smile appeared on his face immediately, he ran over happily with short legs, hugged Xue Pan's leg, yelled softly, and blinked his watery eyes to be cute, trying to make Xue Pan able to Be nicer to him.

Seeing Lin Shuo like this, Xue Pan's heart moved. He couldn't help but think that this child has escaped the catastrophe of life and death. As long as he grows up smoothly in the future, with his clever appearance now, he is afraid that he will definitely be a powerful person in the future , could be the second Lin Ruhai.Of course, this is just to think about it and feel a little bit, after all, this child is still young!No matter how far Xue Pan planned, he was not far enough to make use of this child.

He stretched out his hand to pick Lin Shuo up from the ground, stretched out his fingers and pointed at the chubby face, Xue Pan said with a smile:

"Auntie, Shuo'er looks like a child from my family! Look, she's as fat as me."

When he said this, his eyes still glanced at Lin Ruhai from time to time. He saw that he was making fun of Lin Ruhai. He couldn't help reaching out and hitting Xue Pan on the head.

"What are you talking about? If you say it like this, wouldn't it mean that all the fat children in the world belong to your family? You can't afford it. Be careful that other people's families will fight you hard."

The Lin family is all skinny and fairy-like. Even Lin Daiyu was a little thin when she was a child. Only this kid, I don’t know if it’s because he was raised well from his mother’s womb. He has always been chubby and festive since he was born. It's really different from the rest of the Lin family!It’s just that fat is fatter. Lin Ruhai and the others also know that this child’s frame is small, or not small, but a little slender, or the unique slenderness of the Lin family. According to Liu Gongfeng’s words, this child is now fat, It just means that they are well-raised and the child's foundation is solid. This is also the reason why Lin Shuo hasn't gotten sick very much in the past few years. He just waited for the child to grow up, and he would immediately become thin like them.In other words, the longer the child is fat, the better the child's body will be in the future, and he doesn't have to worry about being weak like his parents.

Parents are absolutely devoted to their children. Hearing what Liu Gongfeng said, the Lin family and his wife naturally hoped that Lin Shuo would get fatter and better. They didn't want Xue Pan to make a joke at this time, it was Lin Shuo, Although I couldn't understand what the adults were saying, I knew that I was laughing at the flesh on his body. I was very annoyed and touched my fleshy double chin, and then touched Xue Pan's still fat face, very nervous. asked:

"Brother Xue, just like me, you are all meat, isn't it good?"

Ha, this is what I said, this child accidentally took the advantage back, and became Xue Pan just like him, Xue Pan was a little speechless, but Lin Ruhai gloated.

"Pan'er is also a big boy, it's time to grow up, why is he still full of flesh, could it be that he can't grow taller? It shouldn't be!"

This guy is disrespectful!Such a grown-up man, who still knows as much as a child, Xue Pan complained silently in his heart. Jia Min on the side saw the two of them arguing, and didn't speak. Those who appreciate the courtyard, I heard from my husband that the courtyard is very nice, comparable to those Humble Administrator's Gardens in other houses!How could he not watch, not reward?

As far as the courtyard of the Xue family is concerned, it looks really good, and it does cost a lot, but this is what ordinary people see. The real situation is that, just like Xue Pan, he is willing to spend so much money just to build a courtyard. courtyard?Impossible, come on, let’s figure it out after careful calculation. For comparison with the Grand View Garden, the most important expense of the Grand View Garden is to build a Jiangnan-style garden in the capital, so the Taihu Stone or something is a big Expenses, and in Suzhou too!This is the land where Taihu Stone is produced, what price can this Taihu Stone have?If stones are expensive, most of them are due to the shipping fee. Such a large stone is heavy and heavy, and it takes a lot of trouble to transport it back and forth!Not to mention that at this time, there are no forklifts, no large means of transportation, and it can only be shipped out by manpower and shipping. Naturally, the freight will go up. Let’s compare the price in Suzhou with the price in Beijing. , you can find that this Suzhou Taihu Stone is only one-fifth of the price of Beijing Taihu Stone, the gap is big!

The second place that costs the most is flowers and trees. For the sake of looking good and looking exquisite, people plant all kinds of trees in the Grand View Garden!And Xue Pan!Of course it won’t be like this. He is a man with Baidu. He naturally knows how to be beautiful and practical. The trees and flowers selected are directly based on three criteria. One is that they can be raised in Suzhou, and the other is that they can be found nearby. The ones you get are the ones that look good and elegant in the end. This garden is full of colorful flowers and trees, but if you really look carefully, you can see that most of the numbers here They are all common things, and some are even wild trees and vines, such as creepers, wild wisteria, wild grape vines, and some pear trees, plum trees, peach trees, pomegranate trees, which look beautiful and can bear fruit Even the bamboo forest he chose was not for ordinary ornamental purposes, but for producing bamboo shoots, which can be said to have made the most of its practicality, but in Lin Ruhai's eyes, such flowers, plants and trees felt that the Xue family's Yuanzi is extraordinary, not delicate and artificial, with a wild taste, which means that the vulgar is elegant, so the scholars in ancient times really have a bit of a masochistic physique!

Let's talk about the big expenses such as bricks, tiles, stones, and wood that are indispensable in the construction. Others may purchase the bulk of these things, but in Xue's house, it is simply too simple, there is no way, let their family It's the Royal Merchant!The most important thing for merchants is to communicate with each other. The Xue family has the way of the Xue family, and other people have the way of other families. This Xue family needs bricks and tiles to build a garden. I helped to introduce a good family, and then bought the goods directly at the cost price, which is no less than [-]% cheaper than the world, and even refund more and make up for less. Absolutely first-class service, and what I pay is that they will come to Xue's house to buy things in the future. , but also the same discount.Simple couldn't be simpler.

In this way, in the eyes of others, there is no 50 million yuan, and it is impossible to build a garden. In fact, Xue's family only spent 20 yuan. That's the result of including all the furniture. It can be seen how big the profit is here, and even more so. Needless to say what curtains and screens are inside, the Xue family can take them out by themselves.

When the garden was built, several people who were close friends with the Xue family came to see it, and commented that the garden was worth 40 yuan on the spot. Yes, sell it directly, and you can double your profit immediately.This fully illustrates a point!These days, relationships are money!

Lin Ruhai took his wife and children to appreciate the surrounding scenery in Xue's garden, talking while walking, and told all the trees, flowers and plants introduced by Xue Pan with Xue Pan at the beginning, secretly feeling a little bit in his heart. Envy, he also likes this kind of garden very much in his heart, but he is now an official everywhere, he is in Hangzhou today, and he doesn't know where he will be tomorrow!It's not easy to decide on a place to build it. For example, it will be built in the Marquis's Mansion in the capital, but he still doesn't know when he will be able to return to the capital to become an official. If it is in the old residence in Suzhou, it will be farther away, maybe waiting for him to retire and become an official. You don't necessarily live here, maybe you will retire in the capital!so!This garden can only be seen, envious for the last time.

But he was really moved, and felt that the money in his pocket was a little bit of a tendency to jump out, so he turned around and asked Xue Pan, wanting to know the cost of building the garden. I also reorganized one or two, anyway, when I go home to worship the ancestors or something, I have a garden that I can take out to entertain guests!

But as soon as he said it, Xue Pan was shocked.

"Uncle, you have money and no place to spend it! As far as your old house is concerned, the servants of my family who have stayed here for several months have heard that when no one comes to live in your house, the servants who manage the house Everyone has become a master, wearing silk and satin. I also live in the main courtyard of your family. I heard that you have taken over all your relatives! Your whole family has become a house of slaves. , that is, a few days before you came back, you just sent all the things away, and restored all the things to their original state, oh, if you take a closer look, there are still many things in your house that have become the belongings of the servants. ! You still want to build a garden? Could it be that you want to help the servants to build it?"

If you want Xue Pan to say, Lin Ruhai is good at everything, but he misses the past too much. There are a lot of bad people in the family, who are greedy for ink, and are a bit slaves and bullies. The sound, even if it was released, did not shock them at all. Is it possible that Tan Hualang, who has read a lot of poetry and books, doesn't even understand that kindness does not hold soldiers?Look at all the servants in their family who don't know the lesson, and they don't know how to inquire carefully. I heard that when they came back this time, they gave rewards to the servants who guarded the house. Isn't this encouraging them to continue!

Lin Ruhai's complexion was ugly. I have to say that Xue Pan is sometimes a little devil. Everyone knows that he doesn't want to talk too much.Those who knew it was close to the Lin family and not an outsider, but those who didn't know might think that he had a lot of opinions on the Lin family and only wanted to see jokes about the Lin family!

When Xue Pan said this, you said how Lin Ruhai and his wife can still sit still and live in the garden of the Xue family. Naturally, they want to go back and clean up the people, but Xue Pan also said that this matter is Adult matters have nothing to do with children, let Lin Ruhai and the others handle them by themselves, and let Lin Daiyu and Lin Shuo live in Xue's house, so as not to feel disgusted after watching those nasty things.Since those people dare to do this, who knows if they have any support and will do other unruly things!In case there is something wrong among them, how good it is to kidnap and sell Lin Daiyu and Lin Shuo!Such a thing has not happened before!

Anyway, what Xue Pan said was true everywhere, and he gave many examples. Even the new neighbor, Zhen Fei's family next door, made an argument. Didn't the servants of their family just use the master's family? The girl was lost, did my family also run away, who knows if this servant sold the master himself, no one can guarantee it!Lin Ruhai was even more surprised when he heard such an example, and it was a real and tangible example. He just felt that he really thought of people too well in the past. He only thought about the weirdness of the officialdom, but he never thought about it. People's hearts are all the same.Think about it this way, and then think about these servants in your own family. After one batch is dealt with, another batch comes out. This is the reason why I was too soft when I first dealt with it. I even dealt with many things secretly for the sake of my family's face and reputation. It didn't wake up these people. That's why this kind of thing happened. I made up my mind, this time, the handling has to be more serious, and I have to let the other servants who follow me know what I'm doing.

but. . .Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Pan, why does this kid talk about everything?Looking at other people, he didn't believe it. Even the servants of Xue's family could know about it after a few months. They wouldn't know, but he knew their thoughts. Nosy, after all, this is other people's family affairs, if you say it out, it may not be flattering, maybe it will make people bear grudges, this Xue Pan's temperament, don't do the same to other people's family in the future!It can't be said that if you meet someone who doesn't appreciate it, you will still suffer.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help touching Xue Pan's head, and said very gently:

"Pan'er is a good boy, and he knows that he is unfair for his uncle. However, I remember a little bit. I'm not a very close family. You can't say that in the future. Not everyone likes their own scandals to be known."

As soon as he said this, Xue Pan immediately pulled a mocking smile from the corner of his mouth,

"Uncle doesn't tell me. I know that many people always think that their family ugliness should not be publicized. In fact, they don't know that there are things in this world that are not publicized. There are always people who can see clearly. It can't be said that when they thought they were hiding everything well, everyone had already started to laugh, but Pan'er knew about uncle's kindness, and Pan'er was not the kind of person who didn't know anything, that is, uncle's family, who knew Uncle has a big heart and understands the truth, so Pan'er can't avoid it, what can I say, I don't have so many things to do with other people's family!"

After talking about it, he gave Lin Ruhai a little flattery, which made Lin Ruhai very happy, thinking that Xue Pan was close to him, and he could teach a child.Even Jia Min couldn't help smiling, and interjected:

"Master, Pan'er has been a smart kid since he was a child. He knows how to measure. It is he who treats us as his own family members. Then he found out what to say. After all, it is for your sake! Other people, you have heard of him Messing about other people's affairs? No way! He, it's clear what's going on here!"

After talking these two times, Lin Ruhai also felt that it was reasonable. After thinking about it, he simply followed what Xue Pan said, and decided to put Lin Daiyu and Lin Shuo in Xue Yuan's house. I can stay for a few more days to participate in the family sacrifice. If I don't care, I don't know what the family will look like until they leave.

By the way, I have to make an agreement with the clansmen, let them take care of one or two nearby, in case there is something wrong, I can send them a letter, think about these servants who are lawless in their old houses Yes, the clansman didn't say anything, and it was because I was too unfamiliar with the clansman before, and I didn't get my entrustment. After all, they were just clansmen, not blood relatives, and they couldn't meddle in other people's business.

But now that I know the specific situation, I think about it carefully. A few days ago, when the clansmen came to visit, there seemed to be one or two sentences mentioned. It seemed to be euphemistic that others were not in the old house, and the old house was a bit out of shape. At the time, I thought it meant that the house hadn’t been overhauled all year round, and it looked a little run down. Now that I think about it, maybe it was the clansman secretly reminding him to pay attention to this old house!

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help feeling annoyed at his own carelessness, and felt more and more the need to get closer to his clansmen.If it wasn't for the fact that I have been close to the tribe in the past few years, taken care of the tribe in many ways, helped develop ethnology, helped take care of the orphans and widows, and bought a lot of sacrifice fields, I am afraid that even if I came to the clan sacrifice, I would not have done it at this time. Someone tactfully said something to me, this is already much better than before!Waiting to move around more in the future, maybe the clansmen can also pay attention to other things for their own family. For example, if some clansmen enter the capital, if there is any movement in the court, then they must be more dedicated than those in the same department, the same year or something!I was really a leftist before, so why did I give up the support of my family like this!

Without the involvement of the Jia family, Lin Ruhai's IQ is absolutely normal, and he has perfectly displayed the political qualities of Tanhualang and Xunyan Yushi, which seems to be a little bit of a rainy day.I rethought my own things over the past few years first, and then thought about other people and friends I made good friends with, and finally some successful court bosses and others, and picked out the content that he could learn from. Try to figure it out.The more I think about it, the more I feel that I have wasted my time all these years.A lot of things are dealt with hastily and for the sake of it, not rational and prudent enough.It's no wonder that my servants always have problems, it's really because I'm not capable enough!

In the end, even in the rapid rotation of his mind, he thought about this clan sacrifice carefully, hoping to form a new revolutionary friendship with the tribe from different angles, and to make new ideas for the tribe. According to his plan, according to his idea, now he pays some as an investment, and in the future, he can get countless returns, and his children can also get help from the tribe in the future. It is simply a one-time contribution. Countless benefits!

Waiting for Lin Ruhai to rest for a while, and in the evening after dinner at Xue's house and taking Jia Min back, Xue Pan started to laugh again in his heart, haha, look, I can still do something, this Lin Daiyu But at the age of seven, Lin Ruhai and his wife have forgotten what it means to have different seats for men and women at the age of seven. This little friend Lin Daiyu lives in Xue's house, and he is so close to the water!As long as you operate well and train more, you can still fulfill your great dream by abducting Lin Daiyu to your own family as a daughter-in-law.And Lin Shuo, brother-in-law should also work hard!

These three children are still the masters of the family, so Xue Pan is the absolute boss. Early the next morning, Xue Pan took the two children to start a very loving and intimate activity.
