The sad reminder of the science man

As soon as Father Xue went out, he sent someone to call Xue Pan and Xue Chi to the study.

Xue Pan had just come back from Xue Jia at this time, and before he had spoken a few words to Wei Shi, he heard Xue's father looking for him, and hurried to the study after talking to Wei Shi.Xue Pan ran into Xue Jia on the way to the study.

"Brother, Dad is looking for you too!"

Xue Chi also received a call from Father Xue, "Well, brother, do you know what father is looking for us? Is it because mother is unhappy today!"

Xue Pan definitely nodded, "It should be! Otherwise, why would you call us here at this time."

Xue Jia nodded, and was about to speak, when he had already reached the door of the study, so he had to listen to Xue Pan's report to shut up and stop talking.

"Father, my brother and I are here, can we go in?"

Father Xue heard Xue Pan's voice and immediately said, "Come in!"

Father Xue looked at the two sons standing in front of him, "I know, why did I call you here today?" Without waiting for them to reply, he continued, "Maybe you have already guessed that it was your aunt who came over today, knowing what she said What is it?"

Xue Pan and Xue Jia knew it was because of Mrs. Wang's relationship, and Xue's mother was angry, but they didn't know what happened, so Qi Qi shook his head.

Father Xue looked at the two sons in a daze, and didn't hide it from them, "You must have heard that the concubine is saving her marriage these days!"

Xue Pan and Xue Chi looked at each other, and it was Xue Pan who said, "Of course I know, there is a lot of noise outside, and the building materials and decorations outside, as long as the garden needs to be built, have been fired three or four times higher than before. By the way, I seem to remember that this Jia family is also going to build a garden!"

Father Xue nodded and agreed with Xue Pan's answer, "Yes, this Jia family is also one of them. It takes a lot of money to build a garden, so your good aunt put her mind on our family. Today, she came here to Borrowing money from our family, but she is not borrowing money, it is clearly a robbery." Father Xue's tone could not express sarcasm.

Xue Pan was puzzled now, "Even so, mother shouldn't be worried, I think mother seems to be worried rather than angry."

Xue Chi thought for a while, it seemed so, so he also looked at Father Xue.

Father Xue snorted coldly, "Hmph, that's right, if it's borrowing money, even if it's a bad tone, your mother wouldn't be worried, but your aunt is blackmailing our family with your sister."

"What, how dare she, how can she?" Xue Pan and Xue Chi shouted out at once.

Father Xue's ears hurt from the loud voices of his two sons, "Why are you shouting? There's no reason why you can't. If she had a sense of shame, would she still say those things?"

Xue Pan and Xue Chi were choked by Father Xue, so they didn't have to say anything for a while, yes, they have done all of this, so why don't they dare or can't.

"Then dad, how did auntie threaten our family with Haoer?" Xue Chi couldn't help asking.

"Yes, what can Haoer be caught by them? Haoer stays at home every day, needless to say, going to Jia's house! How can she threaten us with Haoer? Could it be...not possible!" Xue Pan also said I doubt myself.

Father Xue was very angry when he thought of Mother Xue's words just now, "Your aunt said that she wanted Concubine Xiande to give Jia Baoyu and Hao'er a marriage, and her tone seemed to be a reward."

After hearing Father Xue's words, Xue Jia couldn't sit still for the first time, "How can this work, what is Jia Baoyu, and how is he worthy, won't they blush?"

Xue Pan listened to Father Xue's words and thought about it. These days, he also felt that his family disliked the Jia family. He didn't expect Xue Jia to be so disgusted. He reacted so strongly with just one sentence. Did he follow his uncle when he was out of Beijing? , Xue Jia and Xue Hao Jia's family did not say whether they had been wronged by the great grievances. Thinking of this, Xue Pan couldn't help but look a little deeper at Xue Jia, but Xue Jia didn't feel it when he was in the middle of the excitement.

Father Xue glared at Xue Chi, "I told you to keep your voice down! Think about it, if they would blush, how could they do such a thing. Well, I didn't ask you to come here to discuss why they dare to do this the reason, but how to solve the problem.”

Xue Pan also turned his attention back from Xue Jia at this time, "Father said yes, the important thing is the younger sister, and the younger sister must not marry into the Jia family."

Xue Jia nodded in agreement after hearing Xue Pan's speech, "Father, my brother said yes, this Jia family is not a good place, and it is absolutely impossible to marry my sister there."

"Don't I know that the Jia family is a good family? It's not that I didn't think about it before. It's just that I saw the Jia family's behavior later on, especially your good aunt. It would definitely be a punishment for Hao'er to marry him. Don't worry, Dad is We will definitely not marry Haoer into Jia's family. But Concubine Xiande... No matter what, if the order is made, we can't resist it!" Father Xue took a deep breath and still expressed his worries.

When Xue Pan and Xue Chi heard this, their hearts trembled, yes, they can't resist the decree and disrespect!

Xue Pan thought about it for a while before opening his mouth, "Then what can we do, first find a good family for my younger sister, if my younger sister is already engaged, this Xiande concubine can't order a marriage right! , how come we have to finish visiting relatives! There is still half a year, we still have time." Speaking of this, Xue Pan seemed to have thought of something, and clapped his hands, "By the way, I remember that the concubine didn't order to give the marriage power!"

Father Xue nodded, "Yes, generally speaking, concubines in the palace are not qualified to issue orders, but Jia Baoyu is the younger brother of the Xiande concubine, and it is completely reasonable for the Xiande concubine to marry his younger brother. If she and the queen report it, Generally speaking, it can be done." Father Xue said this, glanced at his anxious son, and said hurriedly, "However, it's like you said, now is not the time, what we have to do first is to delay the possibility of this virtuous concubine. Give the marriage time."

After hearing what Father Xue said, Xue Pan thought for a while and said slowly, "Father, since that's the case, I remember that my aunt came to borrow money, so let's lend it to her. This should delay it for a while!"

When Xue Chi heard what Xue Pan said, he immediately reacted, "Yes, Dad, let's spend money to eliminate disasters! Who let us meet such a superb person."

Father Xue felt relieved after hearing what his two sons said. The son is not the kind of person who only cares about himself. "Then do you know how much your aunt wants to open her mouth? 10 taels!"

"What, 10 taels. Why doesn't she go grab it." This time the two brothers were shocked again.Both Xue Pan and Xue Chi are not ignorant of the world. They know that ordinary people can live well with 20 taels a year. This 10 taels is too much.

"Father, we can't pay this money like this." After thinking for a while, Xue Pan slowly expressed his thoughts.

Of course, Father Xue knew that the money could not be paid out like this, but he wanted to see what the elder son had to say, so he stopped Xue Jia from saying something, and at twenty motioned Xue Pan to continue, "Pan'er, go ahead, Chi'er, no!" Cut in."

Xue Pan closed his eyes, and then opened his mouth firmly, "Father, let's not talk about whether our family can come up with so much money at once, even if we can, we can't give out this 10 taels. I wouldn't feel sorry for Yinzi in case my younger sister's autonomy is exchanged, but according to this aunt...she can't let her go , Therefore, our family must not pay the 10 taels. Now we have to find a way to make my aunt feel that we have helped but did not help, so that she hesitates, so that we have Time to say goodbye to my sister. Isn't there still a few months left in this autumn? I know that my parents just want to take this opportunity to say goodbye to my sister. By that time, we can also find a good family for my sister, and we won't have to worry about it because Finding one at random will delay my sister's life."

After hearing Xue Pan's words, Xue Jia knew that Xue Pan was not going to let go, and knew that what he said was reasonable, so he thought of a way.

Father Xue nodded with a smile, and praised, "Pan'er, you are very thoughtful, so what do you think can make your aunt hesitate?"

Hearing this, Xue Chi put down his forehead and couldn't think of a way to cry for the time being, and looked at Xue Pan with a pair of eyes, "Yes, brother, just say it if you think of it! I'm dying of anxiety!"

Xue Pan blushed slightly, but he found that his skin was dark, neither Father Xue nor Xue Jia could tell, "Actually, I didn't come up with a good idea, but I thought, if my aunt gets busy, she will I can’t remember? You know, this Jia Baoyu is still eleven or twelve years old. There are also aunts like this, we have seen many in the army, they are bullying the good and fearing the evil, as long as we behave stronger than her , she will naturally have scruples."

Father Xue glanced at Xue Pan approvingly, "Pan'er, that makes sense. Have you thought about this money for your father? Our family still has to pay, 1 taels is not much, but it is not too small. It has become popular in China to use cement to replace the original building materials, but didn’t our family raise a brick and tile team? There are so many people in the provincial hospital, it’s hard to hire a good brick and tile team, so we will send the brick and tile team over. It will be convenient to do something at that time. And Chi'er, didn't you want to show the Jia family some time ago? You can do it now! Tomorrow, Pan'er, you and your mother will go to Jia's house and return the money The brick and tile team will be sent, remember to let your uncle know."

Xue Pan and Xue Jia hurriedly responded to Father Xue's order, "Yes, father. That's it, what else?"

Father Xue glared and said to Xue Chi, "Also, I don't need you to take action, and my father will naturally arrange it. Well, you all go down! Tomorrow, you have to remember what you have to do! In addition, this matter must be kept a secret You sister, don't make her think too much."

Xue Pan and Xue Jia responded again for a while, leaving the study without mentioning it, leaving father Xue's study wondering what to think.
