Mr. Liu asked the servants to move tables and chairs for Xue Pan, took paper and pen, and Xue Pan wrote down the situation of Zhen Yinglian's parents and relatives according to "Dream of Red Mansions", and submitted them to Mr. Liu.

Master Liu listened to Xue Pan's words, and all his grievances towards Xue Pan disappeared, and he secretly praised Xue Pan in his heart as a good man who values ​​love and righteousness, and he must have a brilliant literary talent.

Who would have thought that the pleading paper received from Xue Pan was nothing more than a blunt and straightforward statement, describing his family's good condition, including his name, address, where he moved to, etc., without any literary talent at all. .

That's all, the handwriting is like a dog crawling.Some of the characters are obviously missing strokes.

Master Liu looked at it, feeling that his eyes hurt, and couldn't help frowning.

Mr. Liu had a good impression of Xue Pan, so he couldn't help mentioning: "Young Master Xue, what's your name?"

Xue Pan heard that Mr. Liu asked this question, and he was talking about a private matter, so he got up quickly and said, "Master Liu is polite, just call Xiaomin Xue Pan." Study hard in the future!"

"Oh, so you plan to take the imperial examination in the future?" Master Liu asked with interest.

"Here, it is too early to say that the imperial examination is too early. Xiaomin has self-knowledge, and the current level is absolutely not enough. But reading is for understanding, understanding is for self-cultivation, and self-cultivation is for being a person. No matter whether you take the imperial examination or not in the future, Xiaomin will read more." (Note 1)

"Okay, well said!" Master Liu praised his beard with his right hand.

Mr. Liu looked at the young man standing under the hall. He was tall, handsome, and heroic, with neither humble nor overbearing demeanor, piercing eyes, good character, and well-behaved manners.Full of the vigor of young people, but not frivolous and impetuous like ordinary young people, but looks down-to-earth and stable.

What a young man!

"Young Master Xue, you have a pure and good nature. I have grown up with you a lot. I wonder if it's okay to call you a good nephew?" Master Liu liked it more and more, and couldn't help asking.

"My lord appreciates it, my nephew can't wait for it!" Xue Pan bowed his hands and saluted.

"Okay, okay." Lord Liu laughed twice, "Why do you still call me an adult, just call me uncle."

"Uncle!" Xue Pan shouted hastily as he hit the snake on the stick.

"Nephew, I wonder if you have words?" Master Liu asked.

"Father has already chosen the character for my nephew, and the character is Wenlong." Xue Pan couldn't help feeling sad when he thought of his own character. His father must have chosen this character for himself in the hope that he could make a difference, but in his last life, he knew all characters. Incomplete, lived up to my father's expectations.

"Good handwriting!" Master Liu praised again, then frowned and said, "But your handwriting is not very good."

"Nephew's handwriting is really difficult, and he must practice hard in the future." Xue Pan scratched his head and said a little shyly.

The more Mr. Liu reads this word, the more displeased he is. "When you come back to my mansion, I still have a few copybooks. I'll give them to you. You should practice hard. Handwriting is like a person, and calligraphy must be practiced!" Master Liu loves it. Xue Pan, acting like an uncle, taught.

"Yes, thank you Uncle!" Xue Pan felt a little bitter in his heart, but replied with a smile on his face.

The two of them had just finished talking when a yamen servant reported that Feng Yuan and Xueping had been brought here.

After passing Xueping in, Master Liu looked carefully, and indeed saw a red mole on the center of Xueping's eyebrows.Asked about Xueping's situation, Xueping also said that Yang Siwang was not her real father, and she didn't remember who her real father was.What Xue Pan said was consistent with what Xue Pan said.

Master Liu passed Feng Yuan in.

This Feng Yuan was eighteen or nine years old, he was thin and sickly, his eyes were black and blue, Master Liu felt a little displeased when he saw it.

If this Xueping really cannot be awarded to Feng Yuan as Xue Pan said, wouldn't this ruin a good girl.

"The person under the hall is Feng Yuan?" Master Liu slapped the gavel and shouted!

"Xiaomin is Feng Yuan." Feng Yuan was originally sitting at home, but was suddenly summoned to the magistrate's yamen by the yamen servant. He didn't know what he had committed, and was afraid in his heart, so he replied tremblingly.

"Feng Yuan, do you know these people in front of you!" Master Liu compared Xue Pan and Feng Yuan in the hall, and became even more displeased with Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan identified it carefully, and hurriedly said: "I know." Pointing to the middle-aged man who was tied up on the ground, he said, "This person sold girls on the street two days ago, she is her." Feng Yuan pointed to Xueping again, " Xiaomin bought this woman and paid the money, and promised that tomorrow Xiaomin will come to take her as his concubine."

"Do you know that this man is a kidnapper, and this woman was kidnapped and sold by him? Now the relatives and friends of this woman have been found!" Master Liu asked solemnly.

"This, this, this little man doesn't know!" Feng Yuan hurriedly called out his injustice.

"I don't know if you don't know, this crime is temporarily suppressed, but this Xueping cannot be handed over to you." Master Liu said.

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir!" Feng Yuan promised submissively.

"Bring me the contract you signed with the kidnapper." Master Liu ordered.

Feng Yuan quickly handed over the deed to the yamen servant and presented it.

"My lord, since Xueping is my younger sister, then I will return Feng Yuan's money to buy Xueping, so as not to be accused of being a bully by my Xue family." Xue Pan stood in the hall and said righteously.

"Okay, Mr. Xue has a heart." Master Liu praised.

Xue Pan asked Fu'er to return all the money to Feng Yuan, and asked Feng Yuan to write a contract, explaining that Xue Ping had nothing to do with him in the future, Xue Pan put away the contract.

When Feng Yuan was writing the deed, tears were in his eyes several times, and he looked at Xueping with reluctance.But in the end, without saying anything, the deed was written and handed over to Fu'er.

"Yang Siwang, one woman sold two, can you plead guilty to this matter?" Seeing that Xueping's follow-up has been dealt with, Master Liu slapped the gavel and shouted at the kidnapper!

"The villain pleads guilty!" Both Xue Pan and Feng Yuan had a deed signed by Yang Siwang himself. Yang Siwang could not deny this matter, he could only plead guilty.

Master Liu put Yang Siwang in prison and let Feng Yuan go out, then he said to Xue Pan: "Nephew, you can take Xueping back first, but this matter still needs to be investigated, and you have to cooperate with the investigation recently."

"Okay, uncle." Xue Pan agreed very simply, "This Yang Siwang, what does uncle plan to do with it?"

"Since he is a kidnapper, there must be an accomplice. He will be detained first. I will send a few guards to follow his route to investigate, and we will definitely find out!" Master Liu snorted heavily. If he caused trouble in his jurisdiction and was not honest in court, I will tell him what law is and what law is!"

Xue Pan couldn't help feeling a cold sweat in his heart when he saw the official authority of his newly recognized uncle.

I really don't have any friendship with Xiangling's parents. The Xue family didn't send anyone to look for Xiangling when Xiangling was lost. Will they be found out in the future?Xue Pan was a little confused for a while.

It seems that after returning home, we must make good arrangements.

But thinking about it, it is stated in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" that next year Jia Yucun will be the magistrate of Yingtian Mansion. I don't know if my uncle has been transferred or something happened.

After retreating, Xue Pan took Xiang Ling home.

Xue Pan handed Xiangling to his eldest maid, Chunlan, "This is my sister who is a family friend, take good care of her, take her to take a bath first, and find a doctor to check her health. After the examination, take her to find her." Big girl, let big girl live in a yard near her yard."

After Xue Pan explained, he couldn't wait to find his mother.

Xue Pan stood outside the door of his mother's room, hesitating for a while, not daring to enter the house.He heard his mother, sister, and nanny talking, but it was only a few sloppy words.

Xue Pan leaned against the door wall, listening quietly, thinking about his mother's expression when she said this, and whether her sister was snuggling in her mother's arms again.Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth could not help but smile.

Ying'er lifted the curtain and came out, and saw Xue Pan standing at the door, she was startled, the iron plate in her hand fell to the ground, making a loud noise, and the talking in the room stopped for a moment.

After Yinger regained her composure, she couldn't help asking: "Master, why don't you go in here? Hey, why are you still crying, Mister?"

Xue Pan glared at Ying'er, wiped his face, opened the door curtain, and entered the house.

Ying'er was quite puzzled, she was stunned for a while, picked up the plate, and went to work.

After Xue Pan entered the door, he immediately saw his mother sitting on the imperial concubine's couch by the window, holding a needle and thread.

Xue Pan endured it, but still couldn't help it, tears streaming down his face.He took a few steps, knelt in front of his mother's knees, buried his head in her arms, and sobbed: "Mom, the child is back."

Mrs. Xue was suddenly a little dazed. Xue Pan had greeted herself before going out in the morning, but it seemed that they hadn't seen each other for a long time.She seemed to be looking forward to this scene for many years.

Mrs. Xue regained her composure, rubbed Xue Pan's hair with her hands, and asked with concern: "My son, what's the matter? Tell mom, and mom will help you solve it!"

"Mom, it's okay, I just miss my mother." Xue Pan didn't lift his head, and the buzzing sound came from Mrs. Xue's arms.

Mrs. Xue seemed to have a feeling, so she didn't ask any more questions, but kept rubbing Xue Pan's body with her hands.

Xue Pan just came back from his last life today. He went to the yamen to settle Feng Yuan's affairs. He was exhausted. Now that he saw his mother, he cried a lot and fell asleep in her arms.

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Pan, and for some reason, also shed tears.Baochai was beside her, and also cried with her mother and elder brother.

Mrs. Xue hugged Xue Pan for a long time, and when she calmed down, she couldn't help smiling when she saw that Xue Pan was fast asleep.She asked Fu'er to come in and helped Xue Pan, and she asked Xue Pan to sleep on the concubine's couch in her room with a thin quilt.

After Xue Pan was settled, they went to the outer hall together.

"Fu'er, tell me, when you went out today, what happened to Pan'er, why is Pan'er like this?" Mrs. Xue asked Fu'er in a stern voice.

"Madam, it's like this..." Fu'er was eloquent, and described what happened in the lobby vividly.

"Where did this child come from to have a good family. This child is just too kind." Mrs. Xue laughed, and then asked Fu'er, "Can you see the situation of the girl's parents that Pan'er wrote about? "

"See, they first lived in Gusu." Fu'er was Xue Pan's schoolboy, who could also read and write. Hearing his wife's question, he hurriedly told about Zhen Shiyin's situation.

"My surname is Zhen, I can't tell, it's really an old relative." Mrs. Xue was thoughtful.

Mrs. Xue told Fu'er to call the housekeeper Xu Sheng over.
