[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter 96 The master dares to prescribe drugs if he wants to get married

A high position and weight means that you don’t have to do everything yourself, you just need to send the right people. The Shenji Camp has been handed over to Wang Jia, and he will no longer interfere. It means that the Shenji Camp has secretly become Zhao Hongyi’s confidantes, including Those [-] sharpshooters.Since returning from Europe, Xue Pan brought a lot of guns invented by Spain and England. Of course, the cannons were not brought back, but someone dismantled them and drew them into blueprints. Although European firearms are not as powerful as theirs, Xue Pan knows that Europeans have them in their blood. With an adventurous spirit, the force value driven by mining gold will gradually increase. Daqing cannot rest on its laurels, and the firearms must be gradually improved and updated.

Wang Jingyi also understands these reasons. He himself has a talent for studying this, and with the convenience of Shenji Camp, he can't wait to live in Shenji Camp all day long. Later, if Cui Liu was not pregnant, this guy really lived in Shenji Camp. Air camp.However, he has changed from a workaholic to a workaholic. Xue Pan felt a little embarrassed when he saw it. Is it a Zhou skinning? !

Now Xue Pan, a first-rank official, lives a much more leisurely life than before, and looks a bit like a marquis. He looks carefree and envious of all the officials, but in fact, everything under his command has been properly arranged, so Xue Pan is now early. After Moyu got off work, he went out of the palace gate and went to the inner city to build the Hou Ye Mansion for him, and checked the construction progress. This courtyard was originally a prince's mansion, and it was left idle for more than ten years, but the specifications inside are Really good, Fengshui layout and flowers and plants, the yard was built with good materials, but now it’s just repairs, and Xue Pan invited a big man who specializes in house design to come and redesign and modify the courtyard comprehensively. It is magnificent and beautiful.

"Master Hou's mansion may take another year to complete." The foreman in charge of the progress is the servant of the Xue family.

Xue Panhun didn't care, he nodded and went out without rushing to stop.The Xue Mansion is also beautiful and majestic now, but the geographical location is a bit off, not to mention that the specifications cannot be exceeded. After all, this mansion is the ancestral house awarded to Ziwei Sheren. It sounds good, but it is a merchant, and the specifications are there .In the capital, to see how a family is doing, it depends on where the family lives and who the neighbors are.Take the Rongguo Mansion as an example, it is quite powerful. The circle outside the inner city occupies the entire street, and the opposite is the Ningguo Mansion. The second Ningrong Mansion occupies the entire half circle outside the inner city. shelter.But now, the Pingxihou's house that the emperor rewarded is in the inner city, and the neighbors next to him are King Zhongshun and Wang Shuirong with a different surname.King Zhongshun is the youngest brother of Emperor Pingkang, a compatriot of the same mother. At that time, the prince was very fond of the queen mother who passed away. Emperor Pingkang's seat was turbulent for a moment because of King Zhongshun. Back then, Emperor Pingkang was soft-hearted on the face of his mother and concubine. He let his little brother go, and only rewarded a big courtyard with good food and drink, and planned to raise him.

King Zhongshun, who is now 56, has put out all his thoughts that he shouldn't have, and spends his days playing with actors and singing songs. After all, the mother who spoiled him is gone. If he dares to stir up trouble, Emperor Pingkang will not let him go easily .Besides, this Wang Shuirong with a different surname, his ancestors were born and died with the founding emperor, and later they even desperately escorted him. It decreases from generation to generation, but Shui Rong is not. Grandfather is a prince, his father is still, and so is he.The same is true of Xue Pan's super-grade Lord Hou, who gave iron scrolls. As long as the children and grandchildren are foolish to rebel, Daqing will save one day, and the grandson's Lord Hou will keep it for one day.

Therefore, from the neighbors of the Pingxihou Mansion to the hereditary title, we can see the disparity between the Xue family and the Rongning Second Mansion at this time.Back then at Qin Keqing's funeral, Shui Rong gave Jia Baoyu a string of wagtail-scented rosary beads, which made Jia's family feel that Jia Baoyu was favored by Shui Rong's lord. For a period of time, he really walked around diligently, Xue Pan knew that water-soluble men were good, and Jia Baoyu was not a straight man in the universe.In Daqing, men are commonplace, and no one among the nobles is embarrassed to walk around and talk without a brother Qi, but this kind of relationship cannot be put on the table.When invited to visit on weekdays, it is still the main wife who can hold the table, so this kind of relationship is just a matter of elegance, just come and go.

And Shui Rong and Jia Baoyu had a close relationship during that time, even Qin Zhong and Yingying Yanyan from Jia's mansion were somewhat neglected. It turned out that Jia Baoyu was thinking of giving Daiyu the string of wagtail incense rosary beads, like a treasure, Lin Daiyu directly replied that I don't care for things worn by smelly men, and the two of them became cold Some days later, Shui Rong became indifferent to Jia Baoyu, and the relationship between the two became estranged. Jia Baoyu was sad for a while because of this, so he didn't mention it.

Let's say that Xue Pan came out of Pingxihou's mansion for a stroll that day, thinking that he hadn't been in a carriage for a long time, and planned to take a walk and go to the pastry shop to buy some snacks and go back to coax Baoqin.Now that Baochai is married, there is only Baoqin, a precious girl in the mansion, Xue Wang's love is tight, Xue Pan and Xue Bian also send whatever good things they have to her sister all day long, and it is not good to stay at home while they are not married Take good care of your baby for a year or two, if you get married, it won't be like being at home.

The pastry shop that Xue Baoqin likes to eat is not far away. If you go out from Houfu Houmen, you will be separated by an alley. If you go out from the front door, you will have to take a long detour.As soon as he left the door and took a few steps, he saw a timid figure at the back door of King Zhongshun. The man had just slipped out of the back door, like a thief, and bumped into Xue Pan suddenly, and let out a cry of fright.

It was a fair and feminine boy with a pink face.Yes, it is a teenager.The appearance and figure are all romantic and beautiful, and even the frightened "ah" is pitiful, and it is very feminine but natural at a glance.Xue Pan's expression suddenly became strange, not because he fell in love with that young man, nor did he dislike his sissy, after all, everyone has their own way of life, there are so many unfortunate people in the world, and the way of life they choose is different, as long as others I feel comfortable and happy, and outsiders can't talk about it.

Xue Pan was weird because the boy looked pitiful and startled when he saw him first, and then took a careful look at him, but in an instant, Xue Pan knew that the boy had recognized his identity, and then the boy's face With surprise and even anticipation in his eyes, the little rabbit seemed to rush towards him."Little rabbit" means literally, Xue Pan never knew that a man could step out of the pace of a little rabbit.

These kinds of thoughts are just a matter of a moment. This young man is very good at observing people, and he came to Xue Pan, blinking and blinking, and his tone was full of joy, "Mr. Xue?"

Xue Pan felt that if he said a word, he might be entangled by this young man, so he nodded and left.The young man followed him quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he changed into a cute and pitiful look, and he spoke softly and timidly, "Please help me, Lord Hou, I really have nowhere to go, please take me in, if I am captured, It will definitely die..."

Already started to cry.

Xue Pan already regretted that he had gone through the back door, and also regretted that he should have run away the moment he saw the boy just now, regardless of face.This person is sticky candy that can't be shaken off, similar to the later generations of Porcelain, you don't need to think about it to know that this person is the servant of King Zhongshun, Xue Pan doesn't want to be under the eyes of King Zhongshun for no reason.

Seeing that he was about to leave the alley, there were many people outside, if someone saw this young man following him, no matter what he explained, there would be bloody eyeliners yelling in front of King Zhongshun.It's annoying ---

Xue Pan snorted coldly, "Shut up, I'm not interested in hearing what you have to say, if you follow me again, I'll tie you up and send you back to Prince Zhongshun's residence."

Seeing Xue Pan's cold face, the young man retreated in his heart, but when he thought that his retreat was in front of him, maybe this Master Xue was just scaring him, so he couldn't help crying and wanted to explain, but before he could speak, Xue Pan took him with his arm down.The young man was still unwilling to give up, and was still crying and complaining about his grievances, with a resentful expression on his face, Xue Pan was just like that Chen Shimei.

"Master?" A crisp voice came from the alley.

Xue Pan looked up and saw Jia Huan standing at the entrance of the alley not far away, feeling inexplicably nervous, he quickly let go of the young man's arm, brushed his robe, slightly embarrassed, "Why are you here? "

Jia Huan walked in with a cold expression on his face. Seeing the murderous intent in the young man's eyes, he replied, "I'm free now, so I want to go back with the master. I heard that the master came to the Hou's mansion, so I came over here." Look, I heard that the master came out from the back door, so I deliberately went to the front door to block the master, I didn't expect to see such a scene---"

Obviously there is nothing, but after being told by Jia Huan, Xue Pan didn't know what was causing the inexplicable nervousness and uneasiness in his heart.The originally cold face softened, and he explained: "This is a person from the Zhongshun Palace. I'm afraid he got separated. I'm about to take him back. It's just in time for you to come. Send him back---"

The boy turned pale when he heard that, the killing intent in the eyes of the boy in front of him was not fake, the master and apprentice really wanted to send him back.He quickly shook his head, "Don't bother Master Hou, I'll go back by myself." He ran away while he was free.

"A sissy master likes this?" Jia Huan taunted when he saw the boy's sloppy gait.

Xue Pan was overwhelmed by what he said, but he had no choice but to say softly, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't even know his name, this is a loyal and obedient king, it's bad luck that he doesn't know the troubles he will face in the future."

Jia Huan also knew that the master had nothing to do with the young man, but when he saw the master holding the young man's arm just now, he was only sour. It shows that in the heart of the master, he is not just an apprentice.His expression softened, and he smiled brightly, "Sister Lin's child will be full moon the day after tomorrow, and she has already sent posts to Xue's and Pan's residences. I heard that Sister Xue is back, can Master go?"

Lin Daiyu had a girl a month ago. Although it is a girl, it is also Jia Baoyu's first child. The two of them got married four or five years before they got such a baby. Mrs. Wang doesn't like Lin Daiyu when she sees her granddaughter. She still likes it because the child is full moon The restaurant is quite big, and Jiamu likes to be lively from year to year. Even though Jia's mansion is faintly sunset, Jiamu doesn't care about it anymore, and only wants to have a lively banquet.

"Go and have a look the day after tomorrow." Xue Pan nodded.

The two left together, bought pastries and returned to Xue's residence.Early in the morning of the next day, Xue Pan took Xue Wangshi and Baoqin to Jia's mansion.Wang Xifeng is now in charge of the internal affairs of Jia's mansion, and the children's full moon wine shop is very lively. Jia Baoyu is standing at the door to greet people, and he is already the child's father, but when Xue Pan sees people, he is still the same as Jia Baoyu back then. A person who is involved in common affairs, after a little politeness with the guests, he looks a little absent-minded, which looks very awkward.On the other hand, Jia Lian, who was helping out next to him, was very concerned, and the arrangements were made properly. Those who didn't know thought it was Jia Lian's son's birthday!

Jia Baoyu stood at the door for a while and then went into the backyard.Mrs. Xue Wang took Baoqin to the backyard to see Lin Daiyu and her children. Xue Pan now has a high official position and a title, and the guests who came and went greeted him very attentively.

There is a winding path to the entrance of the pear garden, with pear blossoms planted on both sides, and now there are some young shoots on the bare ones. Xue Pan walked through the trees and saw two girls talking in a low voice at the entrance of the small courtyard.He is a martial artist with sharp eyes and ears, so he could naturally hear the conversation between the two, and he didn't intend to eavesdrop. Just as he was about to speak out, he heard one of the older maids shyly say: "...Third Master Back then when I was protecting me, I had no other idea but wanted to cook and serve the third master for the rest of my life..."

Xue Pan glanced at the maid who was talking, but she was a bit older, in her early twenties, she was well dressed, she was a first-class maid, she looked a little familiar, but she couldn't remember, it wasn't Jia. Ring yard.The maid in Jia Huan’s yard used to be married during the four-year voyage, but now the new one is called Du Juan, who is only 14 years old and was trained by Aunt Zhao. He didn't have those thoughts of crawling on the master's bed.

Aunt Zhao was born as a servant girl of the same family, so she naturally knew the methods and skills of these servant girls. There is such a concubine, let alone an illegitimate child.Aunt Zhao thought that her son would have a bright future, and it would be better to marry a helpful girl from a wealthy family. Naturally, she didn't want her son to learn these things first.

Du Juan said with a somewhat coaxing smile, "I know, it was the third master who helped my sister get through the board back then. There is also weight in my heart, after the third master went to grandma and came back, my sister is not a matter of course, how can she be a maid who will serve others all her life, after all, your relationship with the third master is different..."

"Little girl dares to laugh at my sister like that, see if she doesn't tear your mouth." Although she said so, there was a bit of yearning and approval in her eyes, which showed that she thought so in her heart.

Xue Pan only felt that the smile on the woman's face was dazzling, and he knew the identity of this first-class maid—Caixia after a little conversation.Back then, Jia Huan got the board for her, and this woman followed Jia Baoyu to match up, but in the end he made his apprentice a scapegoat, and he also died of anger that time.Jia Huan, a heartless and selfish little thing, was able to take the blame for a misbehaving maidservant, which was the only one.

Thinking of this, Xue Pan's face sank like water.I didn't want to continue listening, and walked out. Du Juan was standing straight, and saw Xue Pan who was turning the corner and walking towards the yard at a glance.

When Caixia turned around, she still had the happy smile in her eyes, and Xue Pan's face darkened even more.Ignoring the two of them, Xue Pan directly raised his legs and entered the yard, but passing by Caixia was very fierce, and Caixia was so frightened that she didn't know how to offend Xue Pan.Seeing Xue Pan enter the study, Du Juan stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly said: "My good sister, don't be afraid, Master Hou has a strong evil spirit because he has been on the battlefield. I won't say anything, I have to serve others."

"You go." Caixia nodded, her face was still a little pale, she always felt that there was something wrong with Lord Hou's eyes sweeping at her just now, it didn't look like Du Juan said that the evil spirit was serious.

After hearing the two little girls chatting at the door, Xue Pan felt quite irritable, but after seeing Jia Huan, he felt a little better. After they had a conversation, the servant came to report that the banquet was over.Since they came here for Daiyu's child's full moon wine, they couldn't hide in one place, so the two of them left the courtyard and went to the front yard.

Pan Jiashi also just arrived, his wife went to the backyard to watch the children and talk to the sisters, and Pan Jiashi stayed in the front yard to deal with people.Now that the Pan family is a serious relative of the emperor, Pan Jiashi's status as the little emperor's uncle has naturally increased, and there are flattering voices everywhere. Originally, the Enke exam in April has not yet started, and someone has already congratulated Pan Jiashi in advance. Win the champion or something.Pan Jiashi was a little irritable when he was entangled, but his family style and kindness would not do the thing of hitting someone in the face, so he had to endure it. His eyes were already impatient, and he was about to find an excuse to slip away, when he saw the brother-in-law at the entrance and smiled. Leaving with a smile, he went to Xue Pan and called his elder brother.

"Baochai is in the backyard?" Xue Pan also saw his sister-in-law's irritability, and entered the upper seat. Seeing Xue Pan's cold face, everyone dared not come up rashly. Pan Jiashi was relieved at last, and Jia Huan laughed when he saw it : "Brother Pan just left impatiently. Why do you stand and listen stupidly? If the master didn't come, would Brother Pan have to listen to the whole banquet?"

Pan Jiashi wiped off his sweat, slightly embarrassed and did not explain.Xue Pan had some understanding, and said: "The Pan family is so popular that it is inevitable that some people will be jealous. The more they behave like this, the more they will keep a low profile and not let people down." He would agree to this marriage, but if the Pan family and the Jia family like to put on a show, then Xue Pan would never agree to this marriage.

During the dinner, Jia Baoyu took her daughter out to bask in the sun. The little girl slept soundly with her pointed face and white skin. From her appearance, she could already see Lin Daiyu's flirtatious attitude. She must be a beauty when she grows up.Jia Baoyu loves his daughter's family, and if he has a daughter first, he won't be able to love him very much. If he has a son, he will probably be so-so.There were a lot of guests and the men got drunk again, the nanny carried the baby out and walked around and collected a lot of full moon gifts for the baby. Seeing the child frowning slightly, Jia Zheng asked the nanny to carry the baby down.

At the end of the meal, I saw Jia Lian's son, a melon official, coming to Xue Pan's place. The little guy looked about six or seven years old. Pan, who didn't love children, was amused, so he stuffed a jade pendant for the melon officer, and said to Jia Lian: "This child looks smart and clever, so don't raise him wrong." The meaning is clear, don't follow you Dad has a lecherous look.

Jia Huan next to him looked at her with a sinking heart. The master likes children so much, he will definitely marry and have children...

Do you want to follow Zhao Hongyi's bad idea?Jia Huan had already begun to think of the bad idea of ​​aphrodisiac, and finally decided that if the master married a wife and had children, he would give the master the medicine that night, and tied the master to wander on the sea!
