[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter 57 The Master and the Apprentice Chatting Immediately

The courage that Zhao Rui mustered up all his life was discouraged by the two words Xue Pan mentioned. When he got off his official position and packed up his burden, Zhao Rui still couldn't figure out what he was thinking when he had endured it for half his life. of! ?

Zhao's mother has been really sick since she heard that her son was dismissed from office. Her heart hurts and her head hurts. I think my son is worthless, he has been a county magistrate for half his life, and that dog official surnamed Xue has five or six of his son's official positions, what a goddamn bastard——

The dog officer Xue Pan was riding a horse at the moment, feeling uncomfortable with the breeze blowing.In the carriage, Jia Huan half lifted the curtain, stared at the ass in front of him, and said, "Master, I want to ride a horse too."

"It's really not fast to ride a horse-drawn carriage all day long." Xue Pan slowed down, "Come out, just this one horse, master and apprentice, will ride together."

Jia Huan blushed unconsciously, Wang Jia who was driving slowed down and gave way.Jia Huan came out of the carriage to the shaft of the chariot, and Xue Pan pulled Jia Huan onto the horse with a clever effort.Jia Huan sat in Xue Pan's arms, a little uncomfortable. Xue Pan had never been so close to Jia Huan before. It seemed that although there was no major incident during this trip, the two of them were close and intimate, but they got along much more freely with each other. , I don’t want to have a sense of distance in the past.

Xue Pan felt that Jia Huan's back was straight in his arms, and he was moving forward slowly. He said with a smile, "Have you ever learned how to ride a horse before?"

"I have learned it, but I am not familiar with it." Jia Huan learned to keep up with the rhythm of the horse's bouncing, his back slowly relaxed, and said carefully: "I said before that I learned horse riding and archery intermittently, but there is no one in the house. I went out to ride, shoot and hunt, and the second brother Lian and the second master Bao took me out with disdain. At that time, my monthly money was limited, and sometimes I was greedy for ink by the women and girls in the mansion. This kind of activity is not very proficient." What he said before was also a matter of the previous life, and then Jia's family was defeated, and the second master Bao lived in poverty, let alone him, a bastard with no one to pay for, and finally Jia Baoyu became a monk , Mrs. Wang looks crazy when she looks at herself...

Xue Pan couldn't see Jia Huan's expression, but he could guess that this guy was recalling the past again, since he had no good memories of the past, why bother talking about it all day long.After touching Jia Huan's body, Xue Pan pulled his cloak to half wrap Jia Huan, and the dust and horseshoes on the side of the road were blown all the way by the wind.

"After I go back, I will take you to ride a horse in the suburbs. You are studying too hard now. If you hadn't been brought out this time, you would have been stuck in the study all day reading and practicing martial arts. Sooner or later your health would be broken. I'm afraid Brother Zhu in your house will just read to you." Broke the body." Xue Pan changed the subject.

Jia Huan nodded his head. The master's cloak covered him so that only half of his face was exposed. When he lowered his head, he could smell the smell of the master's body. The faint fragrance was not like incense, but it smelled very good. "Brother Zhu went. Later, the old ancestor got jealous, and the phoenix egg in the mansion stopped him if he didn't like reading, so he was very relaxed. If there is no catastrophe in the future, Jia Baoyu will live like this. It's just- ---" The first two sentences after that have already brought a bit of sarcasm.

"Have you ever thought about it, even if you become a scholar next year and go to high school three years later, no matter what your fame or official position, as long as your surname is Jia for one day, you will be the son of Jia Zheng's son of the Rongguo Mansion. You can't escape anywhere!" Xue Pan didn't like to worry about this before, Jia Huan is Jia Huan and he is him, even if he recognizes his apprentice, he doesn't care too much, but now after getting along for a long time, he has a kind of master-student relationship , began to worry about Jia Huan's future. "As long as Jia Mu and Jia Zheng are still on your head, don't mention the separation of the brothers. If you really want to split the family, you have to tear your face. It will hurt your reputation as a scholar. Where can your parents tolerate the separation of brothers?"

Jia Huan listened carefully, and when he fell down, there was a gentle smile on his face, his master was worried about him!

"I don't know what's going to happen in the future. When I first woke up, I was afraid all day long. I was afraid that I would go back to the time when I could eat people when I closed my eyes. What I was afraid of was also afraid of Mrs. Wang's face. My brain is not clear and I am confused. I'm hurt, Mrs. Wang went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing---" Speaking of this, Jia Huan's mind flashed, and Jia Huan hurriedly grabbed Xue Pan's hand holding the rein, and said: "Master, if I win fame, I will faintly surpass him." It is not unreasonable for the aunt to murder the concubine with envy and jealousy—"

"Children in the world can't be unfilial, but if their parents are unkind, they will kill them --- you want to use this name to separate the family and get rid of the Jia family?" Xue Pan didn't know what to say, and said slightly angrily: "If you are In the car, I really want to take off your pants and beat you hard!"

Just now, Jia Huan, who was excited about making fun of himself, suddenly blushed and felt ashamed.

"Are you doing nothing but simple and rude framing methods? You can do something so neat when you hurt the enemy one thousand and yourself eight hundred?" Xue Pan sighed, "Some people forget the pain when their scars are healed, but you This is where the scars didn’t heal, so I came up with a new trick! I thought you were a shrewd and calculating man, but I didn’t expect you to be the one who goes all the way to the end. How can I praise you for your simplicity?!”

Jia Huan was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. The master cared about him so much, and he couldn't be happier, but the master seemed to be useless in his words. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why, so he had to ask for advice: "Then master What's the trick?"

"The plan can't keep up with the changes. Besides, you haven't achieved your fame as a scholar. It's too early to plan now. Once there are variables, it's useless. Let's wait until next year." Xue Pan just heard Jia Huan's voice with shining meaning, said : "Then you say Master helps me to recruit a son?"

Xue Pan couldn't laugh, he knocked Jia Huan on the head with his hand, and said with a smile: "Little bastard, you are trying to trick me here!"

Even though he was scolded, Jia Huan was happy from the bottom of his heart. The master felt that the two were very close when he spoke like this, his smiling eyes were bent, and his accent carried a coquettish voice that he didn't know: "Master, you are so powerful, help me ! I'll go back and rub your shoulders---"

"Stop!" Xue Pan said with a smile. "Actually, simple and crude methods may not look good, but they are very useful for dealing with stubborn and pedantic people. I don't like that set of twists and turns, but your situation is wrong. Your aunt's murder of the concubine's life is considered a soldier. It's a risky move, the size is a little wrong, if the trouble gets bigger, if Mrs. Wang goes to court, Jia's family will take your life to save the face of the entire Jia's family. If the splash is too small, the effect will not be great. Which part of the house is clean? There are too many shrewd, exquisite and heart-warming people, and those wives of yours will be able to look at you if they think about it for a while, unless you really put your own life on the line." Patted the little apprentice on the Little Claw, said: "The life of a worthless bastard is not worth murdering, and the life of a promising bastard is even more reluctant to murder. You are promising, but just as a bastard, you can't get past Jia Baoyu. This is what Jia Zheng thinks, if Mrs. Wang hates you no matter how much she hates you, she might not let you separate for the good life of her son."

Jia Huan has always been confused about something. It is clear that Mrs. Xue Wang and Mrs. Wang are close sisters, but whether it is the master or sister Bao, they are indifferent to Jia Baoyu's mother and son in the Jia family. It was a stranger, "Master, why don't you like Mrs. Wang?"

Xue Pan was taken aback for a moment, thinking that there was too much disgust in his voice, it would be good if Jia Huan could ask directly today. "I don't like the face of climbing high and stepping low. When my father went away, I wanted to take a political career and go to the imperial merchant's name. The first two years were difficult, but I didn't look forward to the new year sent by Jia's mansion." Living life with rites, I'm so angry and resentful that I'm just throwing insults at people and making sarcastic remarks."

Jia Huan was silent for a while, he didn't know how to persuade the master not to take it seriously, he knew that Mrs. Wang dislikes the poor, loves the rich, loves to compare, and loves to show off, so he said softly: "Master, don't be sad, it's not worth it."

"You've come to comfort me now, those are old things and don't mention them." Xue Pansong said with a quick smile, "Now that the Xue family is better, it's not worth mentioning those trivial things. People It’s all here, it’s really tight when you’re poor and miserable, once you stand on the peak and stare at the past, it becomes disdainful. Of course, the master has not yet reached the level of disdain. When you really stand on the top, it’s too late for them to look up, and move their fingers. Calm down, what does it mean? It means that you still have to fight for this way, the power is charming!"

"Master is not someone who fights for power." Jia Huan whispered.

"Oh?" Xue Pan asked curiously, "I don't look like it?"

"Master is not like a treacherous official who is a powerful official. Master is an official who thinks of the interests of the people. Master is a good official." Jia Huan said sincerely.

Xue Pan himself didn't know whether he was fighting for power or for the people in his political career, but when he heard Jia Huan's words, he felt refreshed in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and taught him: "Love for power is the power of traitors Official? No, sometimes it is better to do things for the people and the world when you have more power in your hands. You said that if I was a seventh-rank county magistrate like Zhao Rui for the rest of my life, even if I was a clean and honest official and loved the people, I would not care much I am the people of a county, but if I am powerful enough, I will not only affect the people of that county, loving power does not mean that I am a traitor and sycophant."

Jia Huan nodded and accepted the teaching. At this moment, he had a small goal in his heart, to become a powerful person, so as to help the master do great and good things that affect the world.

"That's enough, let's not talk about this." Xue Pan touched Jia Huan's head, suddenly thought of something, and said: "You said just now about the separation of the family, the concubine does not do nothing to eat and wait for death, and the concubine is even more reluctant to do nothing. Separate the family, but what if the concubine has outstanding achievements and power? The Holy One has already shaken the status of the concubine, and the concubine is naturally unhappy. Your merits must be greater than that of Yan Qing who abandoned literature and went to the battlefield." After Yan Qing returned, he handed over the military power to get the position of a second-rank cabinet member, don't even think about the title.

Jia Huan's head was full of meritorious deeds, and he murmured: "Military exploits, sacrifice of life to escort, and meritorious deeds from the dragon---" His eyes lit up, "Master, you said that if Zhao Hongyi becomes the leader---"

"Nonsense!" Xue Pan shouted softly, "How dare you say such a rebellious thing here?" Fortunately, the horse was far away from the carriage, and there was no one around.

"Master, I made a mistake and stopped talking nonsense." Jia Huan's heart was also beating violently. He was cautious and cautious in his own life, which was the first time he was so reckless.

"Don't say this again in the future, and don't say it in front of your junior brother, don't hurt others for your own selfishness." Xue Pan ordered coldly.Seeing Jia Huan's complexion turned pale, he couldn't bear it, and said: "People's desires in this world are the most difficult to stop. Once they start, they will not be able to stop, let alone your little brother. You don't have that idea in your heart now. No, don’t rush to think about meritorious service, everything..." has me.
