Xue Jiazi

Xue Baochai finally arrived. They lived in the garden that their eldest brother had been looking forward to. Looking at the scenery everywhere, the children were so happy!Of course, this joy is not only because of how the garden is, but more importantly, there are no elders here, only friends, such as sister and brother Lin Daiyu, and the granddaughter of the old patriarch of the Lin family. She is also seven or eight years old and has a bit of a temper. Hearty and cute, she doesn't look like a girl from a literati family, because she got along well with Lin Daiyu recently, so she also followed her.In this way, there are seven children in this garden, and it is really the children's world.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min came to visit, and saw that Xue Pan had arranged everything very well, even the manpower in each garden had been fully allocated, and every part of the house was also well-arranged. Pan's ability is even more important, although it is a little embarrassing, for example, Lin Ruhai saw an ancient painting that he gave to Xue's house a few days ago when he was warming up the wine in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and hung it on the desk so bluntly Behind him, his heart moved, and he immediately understood the reason behind it.

Can you not know!He knows some details. How many days has it been since the garden was built?How much can the Xue family bring over?Just buy now and how much can you buy?Looking at the yards that Xue Pan has tidied up now, there must be more than nine.Tuisi Hall, Xiaoxiang Hall, Xiaochun Hall, Qiushuangzhai, Zhuijin Tower, Hengwu Garden, Nuanxiangwu, plus a few pavilions, it’s just a few children clamoring to live together to save money down.Otherwise, the whole yard will have to be arranged in a hurry.

Think about the rooms in the courtyard, ranging from seven or eight rooms to as many as fifteen or six rooms. I don’t know how many utensils are used and how many elegant games are used. In this short time, it is really difficult for a child like Xue Pan. Thinking about the house warming wine a few days ago, Lin Ruhai was very excited and thought: Could it be that Xue Pan's idea for this banquet was to receive gifts?Although it was a little too unbelievable to think about it, but somehow, he just felt that this was the real idea of ​​the matter.

But no matter whether it is true or not, even if he guessed right, it can only be said that Xue Pan's brain is moving too fast, he can think of any idea, he is simply a man who does not take the usual way!Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai said cooperatively:

"Pan'er, I seem to be missing something! Ah, yes, I'm missing an incense burner. I have a Han Dynasty white jade incense burner. It's very good. I'll have someone bring it to you later. It must be suitable for you to put here. "

Needless to say, this is to subsidize Xue Pan. Although it is just an object, it is also the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which is the face of the Xue family's garden. Putting some valuable antiques here can also support the Xue family's confidence!Xue Pan's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he smiled happily, showing no sign of embarrassment at all, and even scratched his head, pretending to be cute.

"Uncle saw it! My nephew can't do anything about it. I turned around three times, but I didn't find anything good. That's right. After all, the Xue family is not familiar with the place where they lived in Suzhou. Even if they have good things, there may not be any good things." Sold it to my family. By the way, the master of the Zhen family next door introduced me to a few places. I just bought a good thing a few days ago. It is a glazed hydrangea from the Tang Dynasty. I put it in the house where sister Lin lives. The thing looks very cute, my sister must like it."

Xue Pan saw to Lin Ruhai that he hadn't concealed anything about his thoughts in the past few days, and he seemed to be refuting, which made Lin Ruhai very satisfied. This kid is big, big-hearted, and really has a good temper!I just wanted to say a few words of praise, but when I heard some hydrangeas had arrived in my daughter's room, I was suddenly stunned, what do you mean by this!If he didn't give this thing to his sister, why did he put it in his daughter's room? Could it be that this brat has something on his mind?

Although he had thought about the possibility of Xue Pan becoming a son-in-law, the problem is, generally speaking, for a father who dotes on his daughter, that son-in-law is no different from an enemy.Sensitivity is also absolutely high. It was just a subconscious move by Xue Pan, and he immediately exposed his thoughts. Fortunately, he was calm and didn't mean anything obscene when he said it, which made Lin Ruhai a little unsure. Thinking, could it be that I am a little suspicious, and people just gave it to their daughter first because they thought it was rare?

Xue Pan didn't realize the doubts in Lin Ruhai's heart, but just led him to look at the things he had just collected in the past few days, such as ivory antique fans, blue and white brush washers, and ink stone carved paperweights, anyway, right? Lin Ruhai glanced over everything in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"Uncle, look, how are these things? There are many scholars in Suzhou, and there are also many good things. Yesterday, my boy also contacted a person, saying that tomorrow he asked me to see the old house, saying that a prodigal son was preparing I bought things that have been passed down in my family for generations, and I thought, how can I get some good things!"

kindness?Old house?The prodigal son sold it?Even if Lin Ruhai is a person who doesn't know the way of business anymore, he understands what's going on here. This is an opportunity to buy some good things that you don't usually see at a low price!He was also secretly moved, but this was the relationship Xue Pan found, so he was going to bully the child a little bit!Isn't this grabbing things with children!He really can't bear this face.

Fortunately, who is Xue Pan!How could he say that he wouldn't know Lin Ruhai's thoughts?Didn't he think in advance to please the father-in-law and create some revolutionary friendship? Naturally, he wanted to take Lin Ruhai to go with him. Taking a step back, he also has scruples when he goes to other people's houses. After all, he is young. It would be great if someone set up a trap for him, or wanted to extort money!Take Lin Ruhai with you, it's like a talisman!Definitely two-way convenience.

"Uncle, are you going tomorrow? How about going together? I like looking at antiques, and I know a lot about them, but those ancient books still need to be mastered by you, Uncle!"

Although Xue Pan felt that he had gone through it and never missed it, but this Lin Ruhai also wanted to hold a handful, right, and by the way, he could also show off his accomplishments in antiques and add some points for himself.Xue Pan's abacus beads are always crackling!

Of course, his plan was very good, but he counted the beginning and the end, but not the end.

Sometimes Xue Pan would suddenly think about what his reaction would be if Jia She and his old house were taken out, maybe there would be more common language!There is such emotion because Lin Ruhai is really not a person who plays antiques!If he hadn't belonged to the elites in the officialdom, and also belonged to people with a bright heart, Xue Pan would have regretted taking Lin Ruhai there, it would be a hindrance!

You tell me, there is that person who picks up the leaks who is willing to see himself before he takes a fancy, thinking about buying something at a low price, and selling it with a surprised look from his companions, and then having to raise the price a lot to make the deal?There is someone who is willing to use Zuo Gulian's method to get some good things, and let his companion pick up the target object and look at it directly!

Fortunately, after two times, Lin Ruhai seemed to have noticed Xue Pan's anger. After careful consideration, he realized that these actions of his had caused Xue Pan to lose. Pan might just go straight to Nanshan and end this Taobao campaign!To say it out really loses his reputation as the king of antique collectors!It's so frustrating.

Of course, there are still a lot of gains this time, but after spending 5000 taels of silver, Xue Pan brought back sixteen or seven good items, definitely worth more than 3 taels. He used 2000 taels of silver to buy a bookcase with books. According to Xue Pan's eyesight, there were no less than a third of the valuable books in it, not to mention the value. arrive.

It seems that Jiang is still old and hot. Lin Ruhai was like a rookie at the beginning, but he can learn it in a good way. After taking such a big advantage, he is really a child.Just because of Lin Ruhai's cleverness, no wonder he did so smoothly as an official!

Of course, the result this time is that his classmate Lin Ruhai also discovered this good way of buying and selling antiques and increasing his wealth. He is also full of interest in picking up leaks. His family of five generations of princes really does not lack these things. , but these were either left by his ancestors, or gifts from others. Few of them were bought by himself, and even bought occasionally, most of them were bought in Zhengjin shops. They got it by picking up leaks, not to mention such a big price difference here, it's not that they are rare for these silvers, they are not short of money, but this sense of accomplishment is really exciting!blood!Lin Ruhai even thought of it, if he met his old friend and acquaintance that day, and took out these things, speaking of history, he said that he only spent one-fifth of the price and picked up the leaks from the outside, but One can imagine how many envious and jealous eyes can be earned, this is really comforting to think about!

What about Xue Pan!With this harvest, I went back and upgraded the decorations in each room, especially a few grand decorations, which were directly placed in the Tuisi Hall. After all, this is the face of the Xue family, and he attaches great importance to it. , and put a lot of it, guest house!He really wants face, he can't make outsiders feel that his background is too shallow!There are other rooms in the back, and his own room is the least here, not because he is so self-sacrificing, but because he knows that with his own ability, these will definitely not be lacking in the future, just Really lacking, waiting for his parents to come, can he really treat his only son badly?So, it's better to do things more beautifully now.

In addition to these, these days, he has also developed a relationship with Zhen Fei next door. It is very simple. First, they are neighbors. Just across a wall, you can see the scene in the Mengxue Hall upstairs from the Xiaoxiang Hall of the Xue family.A small courtyard, clean and compact, and the sound of children reading can be heard during the day, which is really nice.

As for the courtyard of the Zhen family, the size of the three entrances is exquisitely laid out. Although it is impossible to get a glimpse of the whole picture, you can know a thing or two just by looking at the pavilions on the rockery of the Xue family. Looking at the house, you can tell the owner's temperament, he is really elegant, yes, if not, how could he sponsor Jia Yucun for a long time just because he saw Jia Yucun studying for a long time!A literati is a literati!Even after going through hardships, there is still elegance in his bones. It is true that the Zhen family has been rich for several generations.Zhen Yinglian, thinking about you today, you have already got rid of the desolation in that name!

Looking at the house that the Zhen family now looks to be rebuilt, those polite and gentle servants, and hearing about the Zhen family's publicity, Xue Pan understood a thing or two. It's really a bit of a reformation, not only to let people go, but also to compensate them!

What?How do you know that the Zhen family was compensated?Please, he knows the original work, how miserable the old couple of the Zhen family is, how can he not know?A ragged man became a beggar, and the other could only live by embroidery. This is the ending in the book, and here it is!I heard that not only did he bring a lot of silver when he came back from Daru Prefecture, but also the gold and silver left by his ancestors. With these, he re-established the family, and even bought a family property of a thousand acres of fertile land. , Just because this is not clear is a fool!Where does the Zhen family have any ancestral property, and Master Feng from Daruzhou is a vegetarian!So the only thing that can be explained is that they gave all the financial compensation to Zhen Fei's family all these years at once, so that such a good thing can happen.

Today's Zhen Fei, not only has a good family business, and has no worries about expenses every year, but Nameng Academy has also become his career. He is rich and famous, and he has completely turned himself into the master!

Although Xue Pan still finds the reason why the monks did this together a bit inconceivable, but seeing that the original family was ruined and their wives were separated, now the whole family is reunited and living a good life, Xue Pan is also happy for them, of course Xue Pan is also happy for them. I don't plan to have too many exchanges with them. After all, they are not of the same class. He feels that since the Zhen family can no longer go bad, and Zhen Yinglian also has Feng Yuan as a marriage partner, there is really no need for him to mix anything up. At most, he would use his identity as a scholar, and be a good neighbor with Zhen Fei.

By the time Lin Ruhai's family was about to return to Hangzhou, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu had become good sisters. In fact, these two people, without Jia Baoyu as a phoenix egg, really complement each other well, one is stable and somewhat gentle In addition, Xue Baochai has made Xue Pan a favorite from childhood to adulthood, without the burden of the family, and has no idea of ​​entering the palace to seek wealth, and she also has some girlish temperament. It is uniquely lively, and there is a delicate and hearty Xue Baoqin and the cute and straight-tempered sister Lin's family sister to reconcile in it. It is normal for these four people to have a good relationship.

Even when Jia Min saw the two sisters of the Xue family, he also liked them very much. He said that the sisters of the Xue family were different from other vulgar things, and they loved each other very much. At the age of five, she was thinking of tricking this girl back home as a daughter-in-law.As for Xue Baochai, it is said that she is indeed Xue Pan's younger sister. No matter what, she still wants to help a little bit.

This is what Xue Pan was waiting for!He knew that the people the Lin family knew were incomparable to the Xue family. Thinking about Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, she was married with the help of the Lin family!If the Lin family came forward, how could my sister marry into a scholarly family in the future, wouldn't she!Maybe it will allow my younger sister to be Feng Guanxiapei in the future, and be an imperial wife!

So when Jia Min said that, Xue Pan's star eyes turned into reality, and Lin Ruhai wanted to laugh when he saw it, but at the same time, he felt that Xue Pan loved his sister so much because he was an older brother. up.As for Xue Baochai?At this time, I dare not look up.She dared not make a sound while being teased by a few sisters.

Of course, parting is also uncomfortable, even Lin Ruhai, an old man who has passed his forty years, feels a little uncomfortable. Of course, what he thinks more in his heart is that this time in Suzhou is definitely the most fulfilling holiday for him. Yes, look at the slow things on this boat, the harvest is huge!

Speaking of which, Lin Ruhai is Lin Ruhai, and the Lin family is worthy of being the local snake in Suzhou. After following Xue Pan to dig out the old house to find leaks, he became interested, and then naturally asked the Lin family in Suzhou to help find many similar ones. place, and then took Xue Pan to several places that looked very meaningful. Needless to say, the final harvest, anyway, Xue Pan's banknotes were basically empty!If the family hadn't sent the money over in time, he might not even have the money to go back.

The Xue family is not short of money, especially after copying so many servants’ houses, they really have a lot of cash, and the old warehouse has more than 60 taels of silver, not to mention some public accounts for daily expenses , Even the gold in Xue's house has exceeded [-], and there are many silver notes, not less than one million.After all, Xue's family was in business, so they used more bank notes.What they lack are actually some good things that can be handed down to future generations, such as these rare ancient books with historical background, calligraphy and painting antiques. If the Lin family can clean up three or four warehouses, then it would be good for the Xue family to have a warehouse. Even the Jia family It is also incomparable.It's just that generations of their family have slowly collected it back through the pawn shop. There is no way, this is the tragedy of the merchants!Who made his family's ancestors just sponsor some money, rice and food instead of fighting!There is no capture from the battlefield, just like them, who belong to Xinrong's sudden wealth, how many good things can be obtained there.

So this time Xue Pan's action, Xue Xun, the master of the Xue family, absolutely supported it. Even when he heard that he was going behind Lin Ruhai, he was even more delighted to send over 20 taels of silver tickets directly, thinking about it. For Lin Ruhai's relationship, let's do more. Of course, Xue Pan is also very competitive. He directly spent nearly half of the money and got back good things that were nearly five times the value.With just such a swipe, it is estimated that it can be compared with half of the original inventory of Xue's family. One can imagine how much Xue Pan has gained.

It’s just that following Lin Ruhai is also a little bad, that is, most of the ancient books were searched by Lin Ruhai, and what was left for Xue Pan were all antiques, such as bronze tripods, ancient jade rings, snuff bottles, and some porcelain vases, if not for some Supported by the antiques of the Four Treasures of the Study, Xue Pan felt that taking out these things from his house would make people laugh, because all the antiques in any house are decorations!

Of course, for the Lin family, Xue Xun also sent someone a gift, that is, a Western-style carved table clock, which is very fashionable nowadays. Everyone can get it, even the Lin family has only one, in the house of the Lin family couple, they are naturally happy to have one more now, Xue Xun's reason is also very good, thank Lin Ruhai for taking care of his son in Suzhou, let him adopt Li Shou's heart is at ease, not to mention, he is not satisfied with the Xue family's knowledge and understanding of etiquette.

Of course, if this kid Xue Pan hadn't made up his mind on his daughter, he would have discovered that this kid is a little bit bad!In just a few days of work, this daughter of my family has gotten closer to Xue Pan. She is obviously over seven years old, so she should avoid it, but she can grow up with Brother Xue, and Brother Xue kept shouting shortly. Still can't tell what's wrong, who made Xue Pan the biggest in the Xue family's garden now!There is not even a hostess and hostess, let Xue Baochai be the hostess director!He looked at it and felt a little bit embarrassed by the little girl, she was only ten years old, and he couldn't force her to do it!

Not to mention his own son, who worships Xue Pan!What are you talking about, Brother Xue is so good at fishing, Brother Xue is so wonderful in telling stories, Brother Xue is so accurate in archery, even birds can be shot down!What does this mean?Yes, Dad is a literati, so he is not proficient in this, but you can't put Dad in the back!Listening to what my son said, it would be great if Brother Xue was in our house!Lin Ruhai felt that her own daughter and son were about to be abducted.

Who is Lin Ruhai?What a clever mind he is!Thinking left and right, plus Xue Pan himself didn't pay attention to the hydrangea, Lin Ruhai is a fool if he doesn't know Xue Pan's idea!Although in his heart he was a little arrogant about having a girl in his family, but he still felt very uncomfortable when a kid really fell in love with his daughter.

So looking at Xue Pan, he really didn't know whether to appreciate it or resent it!Thinking about the experience of walking outside with Xue Pan these days, thinking about Xue Pan's tact and sophistication in dealing with people outside, Lin Ruhai felt that after returning this time, he must think about it carefully!

Waiting for Xue Pan to send them all the way to the boat, and watching the Lin family walk away, Xue Pan also heaved a sigh of relief, and in his heart, he has made great progress in abducting sister Lin back to his long-term expectation. He also had a sense of accomplishment. In the last few days, he didn't feel Lin Ruhai's tangled eyes, but he didn't talk about it. What can he do?Not when nothing happened!

However, he felt that Lin Ruhai did not say that he had a chance, which made him very excited. As for other things, it would be a matter of staying up for a few years, but he had to pay attention to the exam. At any rate, with the status of Juren, I can mention my worth again, right?

Of course, without the Lin family, the Xue family is also preparing to go home. It's autumn now, and it's time to go home!
