Baochai is a mermaid

When Xue Bao'er finished washing and returned to the main hall, the atmosphere in the room changed suddenly, from the seemingly imminent parting of life and death to the previous loving family.

Xue Pan looked at her, blushed and said apologetically, "It's all my fault. I haven't looked like an older brother since I was a child, and you have to worry about everything. It's the same this time. My future is on the one hand. One side is my safety, I can't convince my mother myself, but I stand in front of you and make you embarrassed."

Just as Xue Baoer was about to say no, Xue Pan scratched his head embarrassingly, and said bitterly: "It's just that after I leave, you will have to take care of my mother. If I get back from the military by luck, I will never forget my sister's kindness." , if anything happens to me..."

"Can you speak?" Wei Chi also looked at her, interrupting Xue Pan abruptly, "If you can't speak, just shut up."

"..."

Mother Xue hurriedly spat a few times, and took over the conversation: "I'm not seven or eighty, so why do I need your care? You all take care of your own affairs, don't let me worry, I will be Amitabha!"

Seeing that Xue's mother was still in a joking mood, Xue Bao'er knew that her brother and mother had reached a consensus and decided to go to the northwest to join the army.

Then the next step is to proceed with the division of cases.

As Xue's mother said, Xue's family has already given out five blessings, as long as they are given enough benefits, it is not difficult to divide the clan.

The difficulty lies in who will take charge of Changfang's huge business empire after the sect is divided.

Xue Pan went to the Northwest to join the army, and he would definitely be an official in the future. However, no matter whether he is a civil servant or a military general, as long as he is ordered by the court, he is not allowed to do business, not only himself, but also his family members and close relatives.

Then the custodian cannot be a close relative of Xue Pan.

This point was satisfied by the big shopkeepers in Zhili in the north and south and the other three households of the Xue family in Jinling.

But the reason why the Xue family can stand up in the business world is that they have been the richest man in Jinling for three generations. In addition to the painstaking planning of the previous two generations, it is more due to the intricate network of the four major families of Jia Wangshi and Xue.

That is to say, Xue Pan can go, but the golden signboard of Xue Zhixue, a good harvest, cannot fall.

Therefore, this agent must be surnamed Xue, and can only be selected from the other three households of the Xue family in Jinling.

The other three houses, except the second house, are all imperial merchants.

Since Father Xue died of a sudden illness and Xue Pan hastily took over, the territory of the long house has shrunk and become smaller.

Xue Pan didn't care about this, and comforted Xue's mother that the fat and water would not flow into outsiders' fields.

But Xue Baoer kept it all in her heart.

What the long house is looking for is an agent, and there is absolutely no reason to hand over the wealth left by the ancestors to others.

If Xue Pan can earn back his military achievements and get a half-job, then this agent will continue to manage the business of the long house as the head of the Xue family, and Xue Pan will still be the actual controller.

In fact, many officials do this in their homes.

If Xue Pan returns without success, the agent will retreat behind the scenes and return all the business at hand.

This places higher demands on the agent.

First of all, he must be devoted to the long house, and must not have the idea of ​​replacing it.

Secondly, this person's ability and character must be reliable, he can afford it and let it go, and he will not be blinded by the power and wealth in his hands, so as to forget his identity.

On the way back to Xue’s house, Xue Bao’er already had a candidate in mind, so she said with a smile: “If my brother has made up his mind, just go ahead and go ahead, and I will take care of my mother. It’s just that it’s easy to divide the clan. After my brother leaves, who will take care of the head?” The real estate business needs to be carefully considered.”

Xue Pan was about to speak when he heard the words, but Xue Bao'er preempted him: "Mom, do you think the brother from the second room's scorpion family can be used?"

Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin were brought up by Xue's mother, and lived in the long house for several years. They were very close to Xue's mother, and Xue's mother naturally looked at them well: "Erlang is a good person."

"No, no!" Sure enough, Xue Pan immediately jumped out to object, "The second room of Xue's family is a scholarly family, how can he associate with merchants and be smoky by the stench of copper?"

Xue Pan directly quoted the original words of the second-bedroom master Xue Bing to refute. His tone and demeanor were sour and lifelike, which amused both Xue's mother and Xue Bao'er.

He cleared his throat, and continued: "Even if we go to the pole to beg, the second master will not nod."

"That's not necessarily the case!" Xue Bao'er also stood up, as if Xue Pan was standing up and she was sitting very imposingly, "Brother Tiao is already in charge of Nanzhili, did the second master object?"

She guessed that the second master was extremely reluctant in his heart, but his family was in a difficult situation, and no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't stand the pillow wind in the concubine's room.

Besides, he is not the only son of Xue Biao.

Xue Pan: "..." Is there anything else this little girl doesn't know?

"Even if you passed the level of the second master, Xue Biao is a few months younger than me, how can he take on this great job?" Xue Pan gave Wei Chi a guilty look after speaking.

Suddenly remembered what Wei Chi said about him in the carriage - it was as if all the men in Xue's family were dead, you can do a good business with a dude, but you can't do it with a decent person?

Unexpectedly, Wei Chi was also looking at him at this time, with "Do you want me to say it again?" written all over his face.

Xue Pan sternly stopped talking.

He and Xue Biao couldn't urinate in the same pot, and it's not like Bao'er didn't know, so why did he suddenly recognize him?

Since "children from other people's family" Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin moved into the long house, Xue Pan's happy little days in the ethnology school were over, and Xue Pan was detained at home by Xue's father all day and studied with the teacher, which almost became Xue Bian's contrast. Group.

Pian Xue Biao felt that hard work alone was not enough, he insisted on learning from that Bodhisattva to save all living beings, and whenever he had the opportunity, he whispered in his ears, causing Xue Pan to be dominated by the Four Books and Five Classics in his dreams.

That memory was simply Xue Pan's lifelong nightmare.

He never wants to see Xue Biao again!

forever!

But Wei Chi's mouth is more poisonous than Xue Biao. Compared with the two, Xue Biao, who is full of sour words and principles, is not so annoying.

Heroes don't suffer from immediate disadvantages, Xue Pan made an excuse for himself in his heart, and decided not to go head-to-head with Wei Chi, an annoying guy, and changed the subject: "Let's divide the clan first, if the second bedroom master and Xue Biao have no objections, let him try it out." It’s okay to try.”

I still don't forget to forcefully appeal to the respect: "You can't change people at any time, anyway, there are plenty of suitable candidates for the third and fourth bedrooms."

As for whether it is suitable or not, he is not the only one who has the final say!

The matter was discussed happily in this way.

Xue Pan was in a hurry to write a letter in the front yard, so he didn't have time for dinner, but Xue's mother changed her previous cold face and was very enthusiastic to keep Wei Chi for dinner.

Wei Chi ate dinner like a gentleman, and during the dinner, he found that there were delicacies from mountains and seas on Xue's table, but... there was no fish.

It seems that Xue Baoer really doesn't like fish.

Xue Bao'er also saw this, and hurriedly told Ying'er: "Go to the kitchen and have a look, have you bought any fish today?"

Ying'er winked at her: "The uncle said that the girl can't smell fish, and never let the kitchen buy fish, because she is afraid that it will get on the spatula and make the girl unhappy."

It turned out that it wasn't that I didn't like fish, but that I couldn't even smell the fishy smell.

Thinking of the bowl of fish soup he served Xue Baoer when he had lunch in the Compassionate Ning Palace, Wei Chi wished he could wear it back and beat himself to death.

Let her be wronged.

Seeing that Yinger didn't understand what was going on, Xue Baoer simply ordered: "If there is no one in the kitchen, ask someone to buy it at Chunfeng Restaurant. Remember, the fish must be fresh."

The Spring Breeze Restaurant was opened after Xue's family came to Beijing. It was Wei Chi's idea to Xue Pan. It mainly serves Jiangnan dishes. Wei Chi has been there several times, and the fish is really delicious.

He once mentioned it in front of Xue Baoer, but she remembered it in her heart.

But Chunfeng Restaurant is in the west of the city, and Xue's is in the east of the city. It would take an hour or two for the carriage to go back and forth, and it would be cold early after buying it.

Wei Chi began to think about whether he had taken too much care of Xue Baoer, so that he had only heard about the famous restaurant in the capital that he opened.

Would it make her feel unfree to stay in the Princess Mansion and by his side every day?

Will it be less fun?

There are no girls in An Guogong's mansion, and Wei Chi doesn't know much about the daily life of women in the boudoir, but seeing An Ning's restless appearance all day long, it should be colorful.

Now Meng Rang has surrendered to him, and with Meng Rang's help, the emperor is also held in his palm.

The eldest princess was afraid that he would be dismissed by the old cabinet gang because of his lack of qualifications, so she just cried, made trouble and hanged herself and pushed An Guogong from behind the scenes to the front stage.

Duke An had no choice but to advise him against those elders who disliked him, and at the same time endure Yushitai's impeachment that his son-in-law should not be born.

The queen dragged her sick body around and was instructed by the emperor to make her run around. She couldn't live peacefully during the day and night. She just caught a cold occasionally, but now she has developed a serious old disease.

With the help of An Guogong, the two court elders were brought down, and Wei Chi personally went to invite the Taifu to come out of the mountain to fill in one of the vacancies.Although the Tai Tuo is an expensive teacher of the emperor, he was feared by the emperor because he had taught the abolished prince. Even though he was full of economics, he suffered from having no way to serve the country.

As soon as he took office, he devoted himself to assisting Wei Chi, seeing that he would not give up until he became an emperor through the ages.

Now that the front is stable, the harem is safe, and those who plot against him intentionally or unintentionally are exhausted, can he let his little girl live the brisk life that a noble girl should have?

Wei Chi quickly went through all the people who went to the harem in his mind, but the seemingly incompatible conversation between Xue Baoer and her personal servant girl continued.

Make him feel very interesting.

"Girl, do you really want to eat fish?" Ying'er still remembered that last time the uncle came back from the outside, he might have eaten fish, and his body smelled a little fishy. The girl smelled it and didn't eat much for several days.

The girl didn't say anything, but the uncle no longer allowed the kitchen at home to buy fish for cooking.

Xue Baoer sighed in her heart, so she had no choice but to say: "It's okay, the son likes to eat, and I want to eat some too."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little hot at the base of his ears.
