every spring [comprehensive]

One day, after having dinner at home, Xue Pan suddenly said: "By the way, I once heard from my sister that there is a Grandma Liu who lives not far from the suburbs of Beijing and has quite contacts with our family."

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "It's rare that you still remember." Grandma Liu has been here several times, but she has never seen Xue Pan's face. Baochai is not sure why he will mention Grandma Liu at this time.

Mrs. Xue smiled and said: "Your brother should not forget about this matter. Apart from the old relationship between their ancestors and the Wang family, Grandma Liu's recent involvement is all because of your brother. Pan'er, don't you remember?" Remember, that year your horse frightened their little grandson, so you ordered people to send them to the mansion. Although Grandma Liu is an illiterate countryman, she has lived in the world for so many years, and her wisdom is not shallow. , our family is simple and easy to get along with, it's fine if she can get along well, but there is indeed a mixed bag of dragons and snakes in the house over there, and Grandma Liu can be very popular, it is her true love. It’s a skill. She came here to talk to me, always talking about their village, and I said that I would go and see it if I had the chance!”

Xue Pan smiled and said, "Mother, it's a pity that I haven't been to the village, and I haven't seen the rural scenery."

Mrs. Xue said: "Not to mention the village, I have never been to our own village."

Xue Pan said: "Then mother, why don't you let your younger sister accompany you and go to their village for a stroll, which is better than being bored at home all day."

Mrs. Xue was very moved by what he said, and really started to study the feasibility of going to Grandma Liu's village, thinking about bringing this and that to their family, Xue Pan struck while the iron was hot, and said: "If mother really decides to go, naturally Everyone goes to play together for a few days, and I can't be happy to leave anyone behind, and there are quite a few female relatives in our family, so I have to send someone to their village to renovate the houses and other things in advance."

Xue Baochai gave Xue Pan a strange look. Xue Pan was so active in sending them to the village, there was something wrong with this matter.

Although Mrs. Xue has always been gentle and gentle, she may not fail to see it.His little trick is just not to poke him.And now that Xue Pan is the pillar of the family, Mrs. Xue is naturally willing to listen to him.

Seeing that his mother and sister didn't object, Xue Pan sent someone to inform Grandma Liu and their family, and asked them to take care of all the travel and accommodation matters of the people in Xue's house. Xue Pan was relieved when they were sent out of the gate of the capital.

It’s not that he’s like a soldier, it’s just that the court has been turbulent recently, and there are too many old-fashioned dignitaries. Although their family can’t reach that group of people, those who were convicted and ransacked their homes, before they ransacked their homes, Who would have thought that he would be in great trouble!

Since he has a source of information, it is better to make some preparations, at least not to frighten the women and children at home when the accident happens.Moreover, Wang Ziteng's term of office has expired recently, and instead of being promoted, he has been ordered to return to Beijing. Shi Hou's family has been convicted. If one is prosperous, all will be prosperous, and one will be damaged, and there is no guarantee that the next one will be the Jia family or the Xue family.

The Xue family is fine, he is the only one who has become an official. Xue Pan knows what he has done since he became an official, and he has worked hard without credit. There are many more, who knows if one or two things will be revealed.If the Jia family is really convicted, Mrs. Xue and the others will not help in the matter in Beijing, they just follow along in a hurry, it is better to send everyone out first to relax.

Lin Daiyu, who was sitting in the same carriage with Baochai and Baoqin, was a little puzzled: "Is there any particularly beautiful scenery in the village of Grandma Liu? Why does the elder brother want us to go there for a stroll?"

Xue Baochai said: "The village is different from the city, even the air is different, and it is extraordinarily fresh. Although we also have a garden at home, it is just an artificially created fake scene for people to watch and play. It is not as good as the real countryside. Scenery, this is the time when summer and autumn are handed over, and it is a good time for fruitful results. It is a pity that several Zhuangzi in our family are too far away from here, otherwise the large farm with open eyes in our own Zhuangzi will be the most beautiful Comfortable."

Only then did Lin Daiyu say: "So that's how it is. I thought Big Brother thought it was annoying us to stay at home all day, so he kicked us out so that he could take the opportunity to be quiet for a few days!"

Baoqin laughed and said, "Sister Lin's words are really interesting, why didn't I think of it earlier! After returning home, I have to ask my elder brother if he thought we were annoying, so he sent us out."

Baochai said: "If you had thought of it a long time ago, wouldn't you be as picky as her? If you had such a biological sister, your elder brother might have been annoyed to death, and maybe he would have sent us out of the city and into the village a long time ago." !” After finishing speaking, several girls burst into laughter.

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Song were riding in a carriage, and when they heard the laughter from over there, they couldn't help but said: "Look at how well they get along! Now they are not confined in the mansion. Being able to go into the village to play is considered to be driving them away." Rein." There was indeed a layer of worry in her heart, because this time Xue Pan sent them out of Beijing, she hoped that she was worrying for nothing.

The Song family, on the other hand, only depended on Xue Pan's mother and son to live on everything, and had his son Xue Bian outside to take care of it. He echoed and said: "With the help of my sister-in-law, I will also come out to relax."

On the other side, when Xue Pan entered the palace to report on his duties, just as the emperor was discussing state affairs with the ministers in the upper study room, there was a pile of imperial censor's memorial papers by his hand.Yongzheng asked him to wait aside first, and let the others finish what they had not finished.

Long Kedo, the chief assistant minister of the Shangshufang, said: "There is no reason to be false. If there were no such things, the censor would not be able to make them up, so they would not be wronged. If the officials are clearly aware of it, they will know whether they have been wronged, and if they are really innocent, they will be able to clear their suspicions."

Prince Yi said: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with Long Zhongtang's actions. Who doesn't know the censor's ability to catch wind and shadows! And recently, they seem to have set a workload for themselves. They have to attend at least three or four people every day. , It’s a bit too positive! There are dozens of censors in the imperial court, if every time they play a piece, the emperor will take it seriously without distinguishing the truth from the truth, and if they have to send it out for strict investigation and interrogation, how much manpower and material resources will be wasted!”

Yongzheng said: "I know what you mean. You really can't believe all the words of the censor. Some of them are too exaggerated, but some of them can still reflect the problem, so we can't generalize them. Take this for example!" There is a book on it, and I looked up to see Xue Pan in the corner, and said casually: "Come and read this book to everyone."

Xue Pan can only come out of the state of pretending to be a wallflower. With that copy, you turned out to be from the four major families participating in the Jinling. The focus is on participating in the Jia family. After reading the copy, Xue Pan broke out in a cold sweat .

Yongzheng carefully tasted the words in the excerpt just now, and said slowly: "Jia is not Jia, white jade is used as a horse for Tangjin. A Fang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a history of Jinling. There is a lack of white jade beds in the East China Sea. The Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling .There is a lot of 'snow' in a good year, and pearls are like earth and gold is like iron."

Xue Pan has already read it once, and Yongzheng has a good memory. These sentences, which are said by the folks to be the four major families of Jinling, are catchy, and he memorized them after listening to them once, and even repeated them again. Everyone listened, and Yongzheng emphasized that The repetition is a bit confusing, I don't know if the emperor is going to have a big attack on these families.

Among them, Prince Teng of the Wang family was convicted and was on his way back to Beijing. The historian's house had already been ransacked. Xue Pan was going to come back to clarify this matter this time, because he personally led the historian down.The so-called four major families, the Sacred Heart has already gone to two, Xue Pan hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave will die, please the emperor."

Yongzheng said: "Look at how frightened you are. These are just the words of the censor's family. If I'm still here, anyone will say that you are guilty. This censor is also confused. How can these words made up by the people be used as evidence of crimes?" !"

Prince Yi said: "Your majesty is wise, but I would like to ask Xue Pan, is your Xue family really as pearls as earth and gold as iron?"

Xue Pan said: "The Thirteenth Lord really likes to joke. Of course it is not true. Whoever has pearls and gold, if they don't put them away properly, how can they be squandered like dirt and iron. Besides, the lower officials are not good at economic matters. My younger sister and brother will take care of it.” Besides, it is true that Xue’s family is not short of money, so Xue Pan never cared about money.

When Yongzheng heard this, he remembered the 200 million taels of silver donated by Xue Baochai for the country, and he thought it was a long time since he came to their house.Said: "Get up, although this censor's work has merits, it should not burden irrelevant people. The imperial court does not have to seal up all the rich, but to see if it is ill-gotten wealth. The family has been a hand-picked imperial merchant since ancient times, and it is common for the family to be rich."

The emperor picked the Xue family out with a few words, and the military officials below naturally echoed. Xue Pan was young and promising when he won the sacred heart, and he remembered that Xue Pan's sister was the adopted daughter of Prince Yi. The royal family has a deep connection, so the censor's flirtatiousness will not be able to get involved with his family.

At this time, Yongzheng asked someone to turn out another booklet, saying: "The previous one is just an appetizer, this is what should be taken seriously." Join their family.

Among them was the crime of indulging domestic slaves in the exile period of Jia Zheng's exile, the crime of tyranny and heavy taxation, and the crime of Jia Amnesty's framing of a lawsuit for seizing the ancestral treasure fan, which caused the family to be destroyed, and Jia Zhen's filial piety to the country. During the family filial piety period, the crime of gathering noble children to gamble and whore.

Yongzheng said: "The sons and daughters of the officials of the Duke's family should have served as an example of civil and military affairs in the Manchu dynasty. If there is such a disheartening thing, it must be severely punished to alert all officials!"

All the ministers present bowed and responded: Yes!

Yongzheng pondered for a moment and said: "The recent family raids were almost all handled by Xue Qing's family. I am related to you in Jia's family. This time, I will grant you avoidance and leave it to Long Kedo and the chief judge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. !"

Rongguo Mansion, which has been passed down for several generations, and Ningguo Mansion's prosperity has come to an end, and was condemned by the emperor as a crime of confiscating the family!

The matter in Xue Pan's heart can be regarded as settled. These few military officials plus him, although they got the news early, it is impossible for anyone to inform Jia's mansion.

Xue Pan is not worried about others, and his mother, sister and others have been sent to the village, so they will not be affected by these things.The only thing he was worried about was Tanchun who hadn't passed the family, so he planned to go quietly to Lord Longkodo to talk about love after the emperor's side was gone, and take care of the family members of the mansion when the house was raided.

Longkoduo quickly took the bank note that Xue Pan handed over, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect Brother Xue to be engaged to a girl from Jia's family. After their family is so traumatized, I'm afraid they will be married again." It's also difficult, and it's good to save your life. It seems that Master Lingtang is going to make a new marriage for Brother Xue, but you are kind and righteous. At this time, you can still think of asking me to take care of you. Such a small effort, I will naturally give you this face!"

Xue Pan said: "Thank you Long Zhongtang, I will thank you!" Xue Pan knew whether to re-engage the marriage, but there was no need to talk to him.
