[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter 58 Reading Too Seriously Will Be Penalized

The rich man got a son in his old age. It was a love that he was afraid of being melted in his mouth. Now his son is going to the capital alone to do business. His immediate boss Xue Pan has a dark stomach. Naturally, the rich man has to follow him closely, fearing that his son will be killed Xue Pan coaxed him to pay for money.

The day before Xue Pan left Li County, the rich man tried to persuade his son for a long time but failed to persuade him. He immediately decided to go to the capital to start a career with his son. It's just an excuse to accompany my son.Zhuangzi's property was not sold, and when he got older, he thought about how to be conservative, so that it would be easier to live in old age if he kept his foundation.The Wang family has a high prestige in Wangjia Village. The house slaves and husband and wife are watching the yard. The old rich man hastily cleaned up his valuable belongings with banknotes and silver. Early the next morning, he drove two carriages and brought his son and servants to the gate of the county seat. Waiting for Xue Pan.

A few days later, when we arrived at the gate of the capital, it was already evening, and there was a drizzle of rain. When the gatekeeper saw Wang Jia, who was driving the car, he smiled and said, "Where did you go and come back?"

Wang Jia jumped out of the carriage, smiled and gave the opponent a fist, and said, "My lord and I went out to do some errands, and I just came back. When did you get transferred to guard the city gate?"

"My subordinate Li Dazhi greets Mr. Xue." Li Dazhi bowed to the entrance of the carriage, and when he heard the reply from inside, he said to Wang Jia: "What happened two days ago, General Ji is now appreciated by the Holy Spirit, and we brothers can also get it It's a leisurely job, you ran away early, otherwise we would be the two guarding the city gate today, hahahaha." Li Dazhi punched Wang Jia with a happy face.

"It's getting late, I'll take my lord back first, and I'll invite you to drink some other day." Wang Jia said.

Li Dazhi nodded and let him go.Wang Jia jumped into the carriage, pointed the horsewhip at the back of the carriage, and said, "The first two cars are with us." The first two cars belonged to the rich man's family.

The eyes of the boy driving the car at the back were also bright. As soon as Wang Jia finished speaking, he jumped out of the car and stuffed a few dimes of silver into Li Dazhi's hands. Drink to warm up."

Xue Pan's carriage was right in front, Li Dazhi didn't want anything, Wang Jia saw it, and said to the boy: "If he doesn't want it, you can take it. Brother, next time I'll be the host, I'll treat you to wine and meat."

The boy bowed down to thank him again and again, then jumped into the carriage and strolled into the city.

In the carriage, Jia Huan smiled lightly and said, "Wang Jia, I see that the gatekeepers will get the money quickly, so it's too early for you to leave the team!"

"I think it's just right. Is it easier to work with the adults than to guard the city gate and go to the battlefield? The gate guards look at the leisure and get money quickly, and if something happens, they will be the first ones who won't be able to escape." Wang Jia snorted.

When Jia Huan heard this, he secretly guessed the meaning of Wang Jia's words, so he didn't speak.After entering the city, the rich man wanted to go to the inn because he was not familiar with the place, but Xue Pan asked Wang Jia to stop him. Anyway, it was getting late today, so he stayed in Xue's mansion for a few days and settled down slowly.

When the rich man heard this, he muttered, "Master Xue has a bit of a conscience."

When Wang Jingyi heard this, he immediately said righteously: "I said Master Xue is honest and upright, but you still don't believe me, Father..."

Xue Qing arranged the father and son of the Wang family in the front yard, and it was inconvenient to have female relatives in the back yard, especially the four girls from Jia's mansion who came to play in the mansion.Xue Pan took Jia Huan to Zhenfuyuan to meet Mrs. Xue Wang. Mrs. Xue felt sorry for her son, and took a look at her son. Seeing that he hadn't bumped or touched him properly, he was relieved, and asked quickly: "My son has lost weight in the past few days, can he use food? Hurry up---"

"Mom doesn't care, I'll go back to the yard and let Yanzi do it." Seeing that it was dark, Xue Pan said again: "Mom, rest first, let's have a good talk tomorrow."

Mrs. Xue Wang was not sleepy, and saw that his son was very energetic, but after his son said it, he thought that he might be busy with business, so he told him: "There are many important affairs in the court, you have to take good care of yourself, and Brother Huan That's right, don't worry if you are weak, I heard from Xue Qing that there are guests in the house? Are there any arrangements? The guests invited by the young master, please go down and don't neglect them." The last sentence followed the instructions of her personal maid, Chun Han.

Xue Pan and Jiahuan naturally answered one by one. After hearing this, Xue Wang asked his son to rest quickly.There is a rockery garden between Xue Pan and Jiahuan's yard, and they are on the way.Lanterns were lit on the covered bridge, and it was not dark. Jia Huan followed Xue Pan's footsteps, and suddenly asked softly, "Master, is Master Ji Ji Zhong?"

"Yes, the second prince's grandfather, General Cheng Dehaicheng, has been guarding Beiguan. He has six confidantes under his command. Three of them fell one by one in the early years. Now only three generals Ji, Liu, and Guan are left. The second prince thinks highly of him most, and I just heard from Li Dazhi when I came back, it seems that Mr. Ji’s position has changed again, and his subordinates can guard the city gate, and his own position is probably related to the safety of the capital—” Xue Pan thought of nine He is an admiral, but the admiral is under the command of Lord Yan. He has only been away for a few days, and the change of this position may not be so fast.

Jia Huan couldn't help but have a trace of admiration in his eyes, "How does Master know so much?"

"You are not on duty, so you don't know the changes in the court." Xue Pan said vaguely: "These can be analyzed carefully." Since he didn't know anything about the major events in the womb earlier, he thought about making arrangements. Eyeliner, the effect is good, at least a lot of peace of mind.

The next day, Xue Pan went to the court, and Ji Zhong stood in front of the court, wearing an ivory wat board in his hand.The Daqing Dynasty clearly stipulated that officials of the fifth rank used bamboo wat boards, and ivory wat boards were used above the fifth rank.Ji Zhong originally held the bamboo wat board, but he has been promoted to the fifth rank in a few days and is at the same level as him. His official position is the guard of the Forbidden City, in charge of the four gates of Yonghe Gate, Anding Gate, Xuannian Gate, and Qingwu Gate. intrauterine security.The Forbidden City in the Daqing Dynasty was divided into inner and outer palaces. The outer palace was the place where the emperor's court officials worked. The above four gates were used as the boundary. Inside the four gates was the inner palace, also the so-called harem, where the emperor, empress and concubines lived. The safety of the palace and the like is the responsibility of the dragon guards and first-class imperial guards commanded by the emperor himself.

But even if he was in charge of the Outer Palace, Xue Pan was surprised for a long time. Emperor Pingkang was selfish, narrow-minded and suspicious. With such a personality, how could he trust the safety of the Outer Palace to the Second Prince's subordinates? Could it be that the Second Prince was really destined by fate?

Xue Pan moved his eyes to Emperor Pingkang who was sitting on the dragon chair, just in time to see a trace of coldness in Emperor Pingkang's eyes when he looked at the second prince, but in an instant, Emperor Pingkang smiled softly and said, "How refreshing is Yan Aiqing? You can live well after recovering from a serious illness." Take care, I need you."

Yan Yanqing naturally knelt on the ground to thank Dade, and Emperor Pingkang nodded in satisfaction when he saw it, and said: "The new policy is promulgated, and Yan Aiqing needs to work harder, Prince---"

The second prince knelt down, it should be.

"Yan Aiqing is your grand tutor, you can't rely on the New Deal, listen to Yan Aiqing carefully." Emperor Pingkang said lovingly.

It was only then that Xue Pan found out that Emperor Pingkang still handed over the responsibility to Yan Yanqing for the New Deal, but he sent the prince to help. Xue Pan remembered the momentary coldness of Emperor Pingkang just now, and his heart suddenly brightened. It turned out that Emperor Pingkang did not trust anyone. , just want the two to contain each other.

At the end, Xue Pan reported to Wang Jingyi that the progress of the firecracker was slow, but Emperor Pingkang was not very interested, and only nodded when he heard the slow progress: "Let Xue Aiqing take full responsibility for this matter."

Three days later, the father and son of the Wang family found a place near the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and bought a yard with two entrances and two exits and moved out. The four girls who lived and played in Jia's mansion also returned to Jia's mansion. Bored, all day long he either teased Jia Huan or chased Xue Pan behind his back, which made Xue Pan feel annoyed, so he took a rest this day and said: "The autumn wind is refreshing, let's go, I will take you to the suburbs to hunt at least .”

Xue Baoqin was used to running with Xue Biao, and her horseback riding and archery skills were better than men's. When she heard it, she naturally raised her hands in favor, and she was very happy.

This day, Xue Pan returned to the Xue Mansion early in the yamen, and naturally followed Zhao Hongyi, the little tail behind his ass. Xue Qing had prepared food and drink in the field early on, and prepared a carriage. He rode a horse leisurely to the countryside, and Wang Jia followed behind the horse in a carriage.

Jia Huan's originally happy face drooped when he saw Zhao Hongyi's face, why was he always there!The master agreed to take him out hunting on horseback, hum!It must be this Zhao Hongyi who wants to follow!

Zhao Hongyi belongs to the lowly category. Seeing Jia Huan ignoring him, he leaned over to tease Jia Huan, quietly calling the thin monkey and provoking him by asking questions. Jia Huan was not far behind. Seeing this, Xue Pan didn't say anything about helping anyone. Jia Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly became magnanimous to Zhao Hongyi's provocative look, as if he didn't answer. Zhao Hongyi was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but there was nothing he could do.

Xue Pan rode ahead on a horse, feeling a little more relaxed. He always remembered what Jia Huan said on the way back. But seeing the way Jia Huan and Zhao Hongyi were arguing just now, he didn't think about it at all. When Xue Pan was relieved, he also took a high look at Jia Huan. In the past, he underestimated Jia Huan. But nature is good, as long as someone guides it well...

In the blink of an eye, at the end of November, it was cloudy and rainy for a month, with heavy rain and light rain, and the temperature dropped a lot. Many houses in the suburbs of Beijing were damaged and collapsed. The soldiers went to the outskirts to help the villagers survive the disaster. For a while, the prince's reputation among the people was high, and they all praised the prince for his benevolence and demeanor.

In his position to seek his own government, Xue Pan devoted himself to improving the firearms, but he seldom cared about the people's livelihood. The prince wanted to be a benevolent and loving prince, so why did he interfere with the prince's work? !However, the improvement of the firecracker is very slow. It took Wang Jingyi six years to make it from the beginning to the end. Although there is a foundation now, it is not easy to improve on the foundation.

Jia Huan has been living in Xue's mansion for a long time now, closing the door and ignoring everyone, studying and doing papers all day long, when Xue Pan came back to see him, he felt that Jia Huan's battle seemed to be bewitched, and he didn't practice martial arts anymore. Holding a book and reading all day, but in just one month, Xue Pan lost a lot of weight. Xue Pan was very annoyed when he saw it. He raised his hand, decisively responded to what he said when he came back from Li County that day, took off Jia Huan's trousers and beat him severely.

That spanking, but as soon as he took off his pants, Jia Huan turned red from head to tail like a steamed shrimp, his head was buried in the quilt, Xue Pan couldn't see it, and he slapped his hand high and hard. After hitting Jia Huan's white buttocks ten times, he asked, "Do you know it's wrong?"

Jia Huan's voice was like a mosquito, small and small, Xue Pan thought it was broken by a heavy hand when he heard it, but when he picked it up, Jia Huan was red from his face to his neck, his eyes were red like a bunny , the tip of the nose and the roots of the ears are all blushing, as if dyed with rouge. Xue Pan looked pretty good-looking, and said: "You look like a pretty little girl when you are so shy."

Seeing that Jia Huan was silent, Xue Pan thought that this guy lost his temper and thought he was beaten and said that he looked like a girl, so he said kindly: "The body is yours. If you think about it this way, even if you go to the examination room next year, you will be very happy." There are eight, one, and nine times you lose, and you can't stand the resistance of the environment, so don't become a second Zhu Geer when it comes to reading."

When Jia Huan heard it, his red eyes were steaming, he plunged into Xue Pan's arms, hugged Xue Pan's waist, and whispered: "Only you care about my health, not whether my studies are good or not. ....." He has always envied Jia Baoyu. He used to say bad things about Jia Baoyu and looked down on Jia Baoyu. It was because of envy. Jia Baoyu didn't have to struggle and didn't need to ask for things that he couldn't fight for. Brother Zhu died Now, the old lady didn't want to follow Jia Baoyu to study. At that time, he was also envious, not that Jia Baoyu didn't need to study, but that Jia's mother cared about Jia Baoyu's health more than getting fame.

Now there is someone who cares about me so much.
