In the evening, at the reception banquet, Mrs. Xue introduced Xue Pan and Xue Baochai to Mrs. Zhen.

Mrs. Xue was relieved when she found out that Xue Pan had no intentions for Yinglian.

Yinglian's surname is Zhen. I don't know if it has anything to do with the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

Since she is said to be the best daughter of Xue's family, Xue Pan can't accept Yinglian as his concubine.

As for marrying Yinglian as a daughter-in-law, although Mrs. Xue likes Yinglian, she is unwilling.

Mrs. Xue was afraid that Xue Pan would become an idiot, and if she insisted on taking Yinglian, she would really have a headache. Fortunately, Xue Pan didn't think so.

She herself liked Yinglian very much, and in order to prevent Xue Pan from changing her mind in the future, she kindly told Mrs. Zhen that she wanted to accept Yinglian as her adopted daughter.

After hearing Yinglian's previous experience, Mrs. Zhen felt very grateful to the Xue family, but at the same time was afraid that Xue Pan would forcibly accept Yinglian as his concubine.

She would never agree to this matter.

The daughter was a treasure she had held in her hands since she was a child, and she finally found it after losing it, so she naturally cherished it even more.

In the future, she hopes that her daughter can find a husband who treats her well and marry him as his regular wife.The son-in-law may not be rich, but he must be gentle and considerate.

Mrs. Zhen even thought about the possibility of finding a wife for her daughter so that her daughter would not suffer.

But the Xue family is kind to them, if the Xue family directly asks them to accept Yinglian, it would be inappropriate for her to refuse directly.

The Xue family is an imperial merchant, a wealthy family.The master of the Zhen family has become a monk, and now they are left alone as orphans and widows, and they don't have much land, so it is impossible to repay their kindness with money.

If Xue's family really wanted to accept Yinglian, after much deliberation, she had to die to repay her, in exchange for Yinglian's freedom.

But if she really dies, poor Yinglian will lose her mother just after she recognized her, and her mother died for her, so she probably won't be happy in this life.

Mrs. Zhen thought about it and was in a dilemma. She really couldn't think of a good solution.

Now that Mrs. Xue wants to recognize her daughter as a righteous daughter, then Yinglian is Xue Pan's adopted sister. Mrs. Zhen looked at Xue Pan, and seeing that Xue Pan did not object, nor did she seem to be affectionate to her daughter, Mrs. Zhen quickly agreed. .

So, of course it couldn't be better.

She is not afraid that others will compete with herself to be Yinglian's mother, she is only afraid that Yinglian will not live well.Yinglian can have one more mother who is sincere to her, and one more mother's love, which is what she wishes for most.

Mrs. Zhen couldn't help being more grateful to the Xue family.

The Xue family wanted to stay with Yinglian and her daughter for a long time, but Mrs. Zhen felt that it was too much trouble for the Xue family, and she didn't want to do this. She was told by Mrs. Xue that they were all from her own family, so she forced them to stay.

Mrs. Zhen thought, this is also good.My natal family knew that their daughter had been missing, and it was not good to take the child back, after all, people's words are scary.

Mrs. Zhen intends to see if there is a suitable place in the outskirts of Jinling, sell all her natal property, buy a property in the outskirts of the city, and move there later.On the one hand, no one knows themselves, so they can start life again, and on the other hand, they are close to Xue's family, so they can take care of each other.

Regardless of Mrs. Zhen's plan, Mr. Liu sent someone to invite Xue Pan after finishing the abduction case.

Xue Pan visited Mr. Liu, and Mr. Liu gave Xue Pan a lot of book stickers, but Xue Pan accepted it with a bitter face.

Mr. Liu told Xue Pan about the verdict of Guaizi, including Yang Siwang, two of them were the principal offenders and were sentenced to be executed in autumn, and the rest were exiled to Lingnan.

In the last life, next year Jia Yucun served as the magistrate of Yingtian Mansion, but Xue Pan didn't know what would happen to Master Liu.He never cared about these in his last life, and it was not stated in "Dream of Red Mansions".Xue Pan asked Mr. Liu cautiously, and Mr. Liu told him that after the three-year term expired, he might be transferred to other places on a flat basis. Xue Pan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he did not commit a crime.

After the matter of Yinglian is over, Mrs. Xue will take Xue Baochai to the capital to wait for election.

This year, there is a small election for the royal family in the capital, which mainly selects female officials, and Baochai meets the requirements and has already signed up.

Xue Pan knew that Miss Lin had gone to Jia's house in the capital, and wanted to see her in the capital, but she didn't want Xue Baochai to stand for election.

In Mrs. Xue's room, Xue Pan kicked out all the maids and mothers, and persuaded Baochai earnestly: "Sister, the family property of the Xue family is with my brother, and my brother will take care of it and revitalize the Xue family. You don't need to sacrifice like this."

"Brother is confused, if you go to the palace to accompany the princess, you can look up to the sky, how can it be considered a sacrifice?" Baochai retorted.

"Heh, is it really a good place for you to be in the palace? Once you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, and there's no possibility of coming out in this life. It sounds good. I chose the princess and princess to attend the entrance. Who knows what it is? Regulations! We are talking about female officials. In the eyes of the masters in the palace, they are nothing more than slaves. Think about the age of the emperor, the number of concubines, concubines, officials and maids in the palace, and think about the draft every three years. When will you survive? Come out? The eldest cousin of Jia’s family, she entered the palace as a female historian when she was a teenager. What is the appearance, talent, and family background of the eldest cousin? How is she doing now? No, she is still a female historian! What's so good about being chosen as a concubine. In the eyes of outsiders, she is a monarch, but in the palace, she is just a concubine. So what if she has a child? With our family background and business status, we don't want to think about that position. In the end The good result is that the child will go to the fiefdom, and you will be trapped in the palace for the rest of your life, and mother and child will be separated." Xue Panyue said with a more intense tone.

Baochai listened, a little moved, but still couldn't help lowering her head and weeping, and reprimanded in a low voice; "Whatever my brother said, Tianjia can also be arranged by you and me."

Mrs. Xue also scolded Xue Pan: "Pan'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that his sister was crying, Xue Pan softened his tone, and then persuaded: "Since we have entered the palace, we basically have no chance of seeing each other! Are you really willing to part with me and mother?"

When Baochai heard this, she reached out and hugged Mrs. Xue's arm, feeling even more reluctant to part with her.

"If you enter the palace for the sake of our family's imperial business, then there is no need. The four major families in Jinling, to put it nicely, our Xue family is wealthy, but in fact it is just the pocketbook of the other three families. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have the lowest status. Even if he has money, in the eyes of the officials, he is nothing more than a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered." Xue Pan was heartbroken and a little unwilling when he said this, thinking of what happened in his previous life, he would never repeat the same mistakes.

Xue Pan faced his mother and younger sister and said solemnly: "Mom, younger sister, if you want to restore the glory of your ancestors, you will not be able to go through the business route. The imperial business is highly competitive, and the relationship is complicated. After the father passed away, many connections were lost. Originally, I planned not to be an imperial merchant. Our family of three can only eat and use as much as we can. We will lay off those disobedient shopkeepers, and stay loyal and shrink the property. First, to prevent people from being deceived Second, the business is not that big, and it is not that eye-catching, which saves people from being coveted. As for myself, I want to take an official career and take the imperial examination."

"Imperial examination? The imperial examination is so hard, Pan'er, why do you have to suffer that?" Mrs. Xue asked, Baochai also nodded.

Xue Pan knew that his mother and sister were not afraid that he would suffer, but that he would not be able to bear the hardship and give up halfway.

Xue Pan promised: "Sister, you just trust my brother this time. My brother will definitely protect you and your mother. In the future, my brother will earn an order for my mother and let everyone call her Mrs. Xue. As for my sister, you And enjoy the boudoir life for a few years, and in the future, my brother will treat you upright, carry a big sedan chair eight times, get married in a grand manner, and wear red makeup for ten miles!"

Xue Pan saw that Baochai's face was flushed, but he didn't scold himself. He knew that his sister agreed in her heart, but she couldn't let it go and didn't want to say give up.

Mrs. Xue also agreed. If Xue Pan can stand up, it doesn't matter if Baochai doesn't enter the palace.She naturally does not want mother and daughter to be separated.

Xue Pan saw this, in order to give his mother and sister a better chance, he simply imitated Baoyu and said nonsense: "Sister, if you make up your mind to enter the palace, I will become a monk! I can't even protect my only biological sister, so what's the point of me being alive!"

"Brother, don't talk about it, I won't enter the palace." Baochai finally spoke, and buried her head in her mother's arms after speaking.

"Pan'er has grown up, and you are all good children." Mrs. Xue stroked Baochai's back with her hand, and said with satisfaction.

Xue Pan had actually thought about these words today for a long time.

If the Xue family wants to rise up, there is only one way, from business to scholar.

If you want to be an official, Enyin don't even think about it.If you spend money to buy an official, you have no connections. Even if you spend a lot of money to buy an official, it is just a vain job and looks good.Like Jia Rong and Jia Lian, they say they are officials, but they are actually fooling outsiders.

There are two formal ways, one is literary and the other is military.

Civil officials take the imperial examination, military officers need military exploits.

Taking the road of military exploits, the Jia family and the Wang family both started their careers with military exploits and have certain influence in the army.Although he is related to the Wang family and Jia family, he may not be able to borrow these forces, so he can only suffer in the army.Even if he can borrow these powers, then he must be attached to the Jia family and the Wang family.When the big tree of the Jia family finally overturned, the Xue family would inevitably be implicated.The ending is estimated to be similar to the previous life.

Xue Pan thought of the beauty hidden in his heart again.

If you follow the path of a military officer, the world has been at peace for a long time now, and your military equipment has been lax. If you struggle all your life, you probably can't surpass the Duke's Mansion, and you can't hold down Mrs. Shi in Jia's Mansion.Then, I and Miss Lin have no chance.Is it possible that after a lifetime, he still wants to watch her disappear in Jia's mansion?

Nowadays, civil servants are expensive and military officials are cheap, and civil servants suppress military officials everywhere.

As far as I am concerned, to revitalize the Xue family, the way of the imperial examination is the most formal, fastest and least troublesome way.

And on this road, if he does some planning, relying on his knowledge of some secrets that others don't know, there may be a slight chance of marrying Miss Lin.At the very least, he can work hard so that Miss Lin will not disappear silently in Jia's mansion.

If I want to take the imperial examination, not only must I be fast, but my grades must not be bad.After all, Miss Lin's father is Tan Hua Lang.

Xue Pan felt a little headache when he remembered that he had to study in the imperial examination.But now that you have made up your mind, you can't give up halfway, you must fight to the end.My road to the imperial examination is not only related to myself, but also the lives of many people I care about.

The Xue family reached a consensus that Baochai would not enter the palace.But Xue Baochai's quota has already been submitted, and he has to go for the trip to the capital.

Xue Pan went to bid farewell to Master Liu, but was warned by Master Liu.Xue Pan took the list of basic books that he needed to study for the imperial examination from Mr. Liu, and went to the bookstore to buy them one by one, planning to start studying on the way.

Mrs. Xue settled the mother and daughter of Yinglian, took Xue Pan and Baochai, housekeeper Xu Sheng, Xu Qian and many servants and set off for the capital.
