Xue Jiazi

Chapter 63

"Brother Xue, the name of this garden is really good. I like the Xiaoxiang Pavilion the most. It is comfortable to look at. Reading in it must be a very interesting thing."

Lin Daiyu blinked her big eyes, her face was serious, she didn't look like that seven-year-old girl, she was like a little adult, expressing her thoughts freely, talking about her feelings, and her manner There is also a trace of elegance, if it is not for the four-year-old Douding, who is a bit out of tune, Xue Pan might think that this is the demeanor that a girl in her teens should have. Of course, this is an adult The result is that Xue Pan wants to go forward and pinch that tender little face, so that he can have a good time. Although he is not a lolicon, he is a Daiyu fan, and he is bent on abducting Lin Daiyu to his own house. How can he not like such a girl? It can be said that he looks pleasing to the eye from the hair to the heel!

Although Lin Daiyu at this time was not as trembling as in the original book when she entered Jia's mansion, nor was she browbroken because of the loss of her biological mother, she still retained the so-called weak willow, Fufeng, and graceful figure.It's just that although he looks a little thin, Xue Pan knows that it's just the reason of his body, and it's not a bad body. But if he compares it with Xue Pan, a fat man, and the fat boy next to him, no matter how he looks at it, he feels As if he had abused her, Xue Pan was still very happy to hear him praise him now, and his heart started to tremble, touching his signature double chin, and said with a smile:

"Sister also thinks it's good? Sure enough, talented women are discerning. I told my family Baochai about the name here, and she also thought it was a good place, and the name was appropriate. Speaking of which, sister, you didn't agree with it." Baochai met! What a coincidence, if I knew you would come, I would bring my younger sister along. By the way, I can write back and ask my younger sister to come over. Don’t you guys have to stay for a few more days? You can see each other sometime, and the two of you can be good friends in your boudoir."

When Xue Pan said this, Lin Daiyu immediately covered her mouth and laughed, and joked with crooked eyebrows:

"Brother Xue is praising me, or is he praising Sister Baochai? Why does it sound like she agrees with Sister Baochai to be called a talented woman! Brothers who dote on their sisters like this are rare! Daiyu will be jealous , is this bullying that I only have a younger brother and no older brother?"

Lin Daiyu's temperament is still very similar to the one mentioned in the book. This is not just a playful joke right away, it can indeed be called sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. Xue Pan was also stunned by the words.And Lin Shuo on the other side was not willing to be ignored, and immediately hugged Lin Daiyu's leg very cleverly, and said softly:

"The younger brother is also very useful, and the older sister is the best, better than the elder brother."

Although it was a bit vague, it entertained the other two people very well. At least Xue Pan felt that this was a relief for himself. He looked at Lin Shuo admiringly. One more word:

"Brother Xue, don't laugh like that, you're just like the old fox in the book, it's really ugly."

Now the smile on the corner of Xue Pan's mouth froze, and Lin Daiyu laughed so hard that she held her stomach tightly, for fear that her stomach would hurt if she accidentally laughed.

"What, I look better than a fox! Besides, Brother Lin, have you ever seen a fox?"

It’s rare for Xue Pan to get serious with a four-year-old kid. It’s really hurtful to say that he’s not good-looking. Although he’s a bit fatter, he still has a good appearance. Who doesn't say that this child is blessed to grow up, how can he say that he is not good-looking, besides, his sister is so beautiful, how can he save his standard from dropping!The Xue family's genes are still very good, okay?

Fortunately, this was just an episode, and then Xue Pan just scratched Lin Shuo's head, and then continued to take them to see other places, such as the Dicui Pavilion, which is healthy on a rockery, surrounded by dense forests, four seasons Changqing, you can see most of the garden from above, this is a must-see place, by the way, Xue Pan also pointed out the various flowers and trees in the garden and told the siblings, What is the number, when it usually blooms, when it bears fruit, what color it is when it blooms, and what the result will be, and even the prices of these fruits outside are also mentioned one by one.

At the beginning, when Lin Daiyu heard Xue Pan talk about the price of the fruit, she felt a little displeased and thought it was a bit vulgar, but who is Xue Pan, how could he not know Lin Daiyu's fault?After talking about a few places, he began to talk about the construction geometry of this yard, how to estimate it, the things purchased, the quantity, etc., and finally talked about the annual maintenance cost of this garden. Looking at the two siblings, they said:

"Although we all grew up with everyone and don't have to worry about food and clothing, at least we have to learn how to manage the family business so that the family business passed down by our ancestors will not be ruined in our hands, and taking care of the family business is indispensable. It is good to not pay attention to money, but not paying attention to it does not mean that you don’t know. If you don’t understand anything, you will be coaxed by those servants who are not up to date. How can you be worthy of your ancestors in the future? As the saying goes, if there is no money and no home, Qing Gao can still eat? He can still support the whole family. Can he ignore everything and only care about his own happiness? Is it possible that I will not be able to live such a lazy life? It’s just After all, I am Xue's eldest son, the only son. I always have to think more about my identity and responsibility. Anyway, I don't want to mess around like this. Even if people say I'm vulgar, I will admit it. I just want to get better at myself. , in this garden, people tell me to buy some famous products, but I don’t want to. One is a tree, one is a flower, and the other can be a scenery. Why is the ordinary one not as good as a famous one? Maybe there are more people holding it Is it good or not? That is the real vulgarity in my opinion, and the vulgarity that echoes what others say, taught me that the fruit trees and flowers in the garden now will produce one year in the future, which can guarantee the maintenance of the garden for a year Expenses, how much can this save the family, and you can also pick fruits for yourself. It is also very thoughtful to give to those close to you. This is really good, affordable, and convenient. There is nothing like those Bad reputation."

What Xue Pan said was very straightforward, even the four-year-old Lin Shuo could vaguely understand what Xue Pan meant, let alone Lin Daiyu, who was originally taken by her father to go out and walk around, and after seeing some world affairs and human relationships, she changed a little bit. Now, after listening to Xue Pan's words, I feel that there is a lot of truth here. I couldn't help but nodded, and said to Xue Pan with admiration:

"Brother Xue's words may sound a bit vulgar, but they are indeed the most reasonable. A man naturally has to bear the heavy responsibility of the family, learn to inherit the family business, and live up to the glory of his ancestors. Brother Xue is a good man with a true temperament."

Gone!Xue Pan felt that his heart was in the sky, and to be able to get Sister Lin, a man with a true temperament and good temperament, would make people happier than him being admitted to the show!But just a few seconds after he was happy here, the one who broke the wall came again:

"Brother Xue, but they all say that you are looking for money. Any idea can be sold for money!"

kindness?Xue Pan's eyes were about to stand up:

"Who said that? That guy ruined my image? I'm a scholar, a scholar, how could I be so unworthy? What do you mean by looking at money? I'm doing it for the family, to develop new sources of income, so that the family can spend more. "

When he got angry, he spoke a little too aggressively, and the master came out. Fortunately, after saying a few words, he immediately realized the problem with his image, and immediately changed into a look of incomprehensible sorrow, and sighed in frustration, Then he said to Lin Daiyu and Lin Shuo:

"Family, family, you have come to Suzhou this time and you have seen how many members of the Lin family. You are still good, after all, you don't live in the same place, and the Lin family has been scholarly for generations, and you don't care about these money matters. It's lighter, but that's it. Doesn't Uncle Lin need to help the orphans, widows, old and young in the family from time to time? Not to mention our Xue family. The Xue family members are all in Jinling and live not far away. It can be said that the family has something to do, no It will reach my family in half a day. My father is the head of the patriarch, and he has to take care of even trivial matters, so there is no need to worry about that. The children of the family who are reused and can do business for the family all went to study one by one. In this way, many things fell to my family, and the way out for those children who failed to study must also be helped by my family. On the one hand, there is a shortage of manpower, and on the other hand, it is a major issue for the future of the children. What's more, in order to bring the Xue family into the way of a scholarly family, many businesses that were too profitable in the family have been closed, for fear of ruining the children in the family for money. Good luck, this way my family can be said to be busy and dizzy, and my father also... Hey, I am the eldest son, can I not think about sharing my worries for my father? Maybe I don’t know how to do business, but at least I can help out ideas and help my father Take care of the family and do things well. I don’t want to just leave it like this, but I still have such a reputation. Isn’t this intentional to destroy me? If it gets out, my future will be..."

At the end of the story, there was already some sadness in this tone, and Lin Daiyu and Lin Shuo felt great sympathy, and it was also not easy for Xue's elder brother. Their duty is now only because they want to make progress, and they may pay more than others. Hard work is inevitable. As a son, helping his father share more is filial piety. How can you throw sewage so maliciously!Don't say that brother Xue is just offering ideas, even if he is really helping with business, it is common sense, how can he use such ugly words in the eyes of making money, he is really wronged.

If Xue Pan knew that Lin Daiyu and Lin Shuo thought of him like this in their hearts at this time, he would probably have to laugh. Of course, he didn't have such thoughts at this time. Did you spread your hobbies?The mouth is really too careless.

He didn't think it was maliciously said by outsiders, it wasn't that he could trust people's hearts or something, but that Xue Pan had been in this world for so many years, it can be said that he rarely caused trouble outside, and often acted as a little transparent when he went out. It is rare to have one or two eye-catching things, and most of them came out without attracting attention. He knew very well in his heart that as a child of a royal merchant family, being too outstanding is not necessarily a good thing. As a foil, he is still young after all, how can anyone deal with him so deliberately!So his first reaction was that the bastard at home who didn't know the door, accidentally exposed the jokes his father told him back then, which made people catch the topic.

But no matter what, today, when he knows, he will think about solving this matter, at least to restore this reputation a little bit, and it is also important to tell Lin Daiyu and the others, at least for him The most important thing is that the impression of him from the literati family that he relies on the most will not be changed because of these words.It's not because of his utilitarianism, but because he wants to enter the world of literati safely, without a proper referrer, it is probably very difficult to enter such a scholar-bureaucrat class.

After Xue Pan finished his words, he maintained his decadent look for a while, and then he pretended not to care and said to Lin Daiyu and the others:

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go, I will take you to go fishing. I have raised a lot of fish in the pond next to the lotus root champagne in this yard, but they are not beautiful koi, but some of the most common fish. There are herring, silver carp, and black fish, all of which are good ingredients for cooking. Hehe, you see, brother Xue is really looking for money. This fish farming also wants to be able to cook and eat, not to waste, isn’t that the case? Well!"

After the family discussion before, coupled with the decadence just now, at this time, Lin Daiyu and Lin Shuo would say something inappropriate, and even Lin Daiyu said:

"The koi can only be seen, but it's useless. It's really not very good. Although I think brother Xue is thinking too carefully, it's really not a good habit to waste. Dad also said that the streets of Zhumen's wine and meat are frozen to death. , the richer the family, the more they have to know how to cherish it, brother Xue is taking care of it."

And Lin Shuo put it more directly:

"Brother Xue, I heard that silver carp is the fish with a big head, right? I like fish head soup the most, and it's the best. Let's eat this today?"

Cute kid!Absolutely cute baby, why is he so cute!At this time, he knew to use food to change the topic. Now Xue Pan was happy. He brought such a Baidu, maybe he could not do anything else. He still knew a lot about this recipe. Immediately, he took Lin Daiyu and Lin Shuo to start Let's talk about food.

"Brother Lin, speaking of which, I also like to eat fish head soup, but there are many ways to eat fish! So, how about we have a whole fish feast today, and let you try different fish recipes from different places."

Lin Shuo is a child, and the child has his own preferences. No matter how rich the family is, how careful the upbringing is, how he pays attention to the rules, this delicious food will always be a child's favorite good habit. Hearing about eating fish from all over the world Lin Shuo narrowed his big eyes, and even pursed his lips from time to time. Xue Pan, who has sharper ears, could even hear him swallowing. He is also bad!While leading people to the nearest living room with a large dining table, they began to talk about how to eat fish.

"You don't know! My second uncle used to be a merchant. He traveled all year round and ate a lot of delicious food. He also brought back a lot of recipes, some of which are even famous! For example, Boiled fish, that’s Sichuan cuisine. People often say that if you don’t go to Sichuan when you’re young, you don’t leave Sichuan when you’re old. It’s a land of abundance, rich in products, and very particular about food. The most important thing is that the taste is very unique, because where there is heavy humidity, There are many mountains, so where people like to eat spicy food, there is also spicy, spicy, fragrant and spicy. This is the taste of Sichuan cuisine, and this boiling fish is like this. When this bowl of fish is served, It was glowing red, and there was no trace of heat, but if you really want to pick it up, the aroma and heat inside will float out immediately, and when you eat it, you can feel the whole body warm up, and your forehead will sweat immediately. It’s strong enough. Let’s talk about Guizhou, where they like fish in sour soup. What they like is sour and spicy. The fish is fried first and then roasted in red sour soup. After coming out, there is Yunnan, where there is a dish of grilled fish, which is said to have come from Myanmar. The spicy taste also has the characteristics of different ethnic groups. After all, there are Dai, Bai, Miao, Dong, and many other ethnic groups, so there are more ways to eat it. There is also Hunan cuisine, that is, Hunan cuisine, where there are fish heads with chopped peppers. , it is made of the head of the fat head fish that brother Lin likes. The spicy one makes my mouth smoke when I think about it. It’s just delicious. Fujian’s fish balls are more famous, red fish is also good, Zhejiang’s, you must have eaten it in Hangzhou, West Lake Vinegar Fish, Jiangxi, there are more fried fish, Anhui, There is also a famous dish, which is called fish biting sheep. You can see how we write the fresh characters in the past. What kind of taste does this fish and sheep have when combined. Hubei has a lot of dried fish, and Jiangsu is here. Look Just look at Suzhou, and these are the most famous ones in the southern provinces, and there are even more less famous ones."

Having said that, Xue Pan couldn't hold back his saliva, and hastily led the Lin family siblings to the table in the flower hall, ordered someone to cook, it was a whole fish feast, and then took a big mouthful of tea, pressed down After drooling, looking at the Lin siblings, Lin Daiyu is better, although there is some greed on her face, but her expression is still calm, and what about Lin Shuo!The child's neckline has already been covered with a large mark of saliva. Xue Pan wanted to laugh when he saw it, but thinking about it, he was attracted by himself, so he couldn't say anything. He simply pretended that he didn't know what to do and continued to fool around , Try to imprint the image of yourself being knowledgeable and knowledgeable in the hearts of the Lin family siblings.

"We talked about the south, let's talk about the north. In the north, Shanxi and Shaanxi don't have as much water and lakes as the south, so there are fewer fish. But the Yellow River carp is really unique. It's a sweet and sour carp. It makes people drool just looking at it. Shandong is close to the sea, and there are many fish, but there are many sea fish. There are two kinds of whole fish, red stewed fish, spiced smoked fish, and several ways. Henan has a big bowl of fish, and Hebei has Soy pot fish, there is also a fried whole fish and tile fish, which are also very famous. Further north, it is a cold place, and there are fewer people to eat fish, and it is inconvenient, so most of them are stewed directly It’s not surprising about the dishes, but in the Japanese country in the east, they are used to eating sashimi, that is, the live fish is peeled and boned, sliced, and then dipped in seasonings to eat. Well, how should I put it? It’s a bit barbaric. There is also North Korea, which is similar there, but they eat it more unacceptably, such as eating stinky dried fish, eating shrimp, and eating octopus tentacles that can move."

Xue Pan did it on purpose, fundamentally, to lead these two children to despise and exclude these two countries from trivial matters!Well, no matter what, he used to be an angry youth, very passionate, so it would be easy for him to have such an opportunity to tactfully convey some of the meaning he wanted to express to Mr. Lin!This is because of his quick thinking. You see, Lin Daiyu and Lin Shuo's faces turned pale at this time. Obviously, what he said later disgusted them. I don't know if they will eat later. Luckily, Xue Pan knew enough was enough, seeing that it was almost done, he immediately turned around and said:

"Don't talk about others. Fortunately, what we eat here is delicious, normal, hee hee, anyway, I eat light, strong taste, I don't know how you are, I let them eat every We’ve made all kinds of delicious ones, so let’s spend a little extra time, so we can try our own taste.”

Having said that, the outside has already started to pass the food inside, and a burst of fragrance wafts in, Lin Shuo's little nose has already started to twitch, which shows how attractive the fragrance is.

Several fish dishes were served in succession, some were steamed, some were braised in soy sauce, some were fried, some were fried with salt, and there were all those spicy, hot and sour, and sweet and sour dishes that Xue Pan said. However, there are no less than ten fish in a row, which makes people dizzy.

"Brother Xue, there are too many of us!"

Even Lin Daiyu felt overwhelmed by looking at it at this time. After all, these are big dishes, not small dishes. Fortunately, the table is big, otherwise it would not fit.

"Don't worry, how many mouthfuls can we eat for each dish? Didn't it just pass by with a few chopsticks, and then the rest will be cheap and I'll leave it to the servants. I told them that we will have dinner later, so we will withdraw." If they go on, they can still satisfy their cravings, and they can also eat meat, so it will never be wasted."

Xue Pan spoke casually, without even raising his eyelids. He looked directly at the dishes, thinking whether he should add food to Lin Daiyu and the others, and he didn't know what flavor they liked. You don't need a man, the girl can do it herself!What a waste of an opportunity to be courteous!

But when Lin Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Xue Pan again. This person really knows how to plan. Sure enough, the people who help the directors of the family are different. Maybe she should learn more. My brother is still young, and this family Ye himself has to help to take care of him, so that his father and mother are not too busy.

Xue Pan didn't know, but he unknowingly educated Sister Lin again.
