The heroine has a magical style [Red Mansion + Sword III]

Chapter 36.Expand.

Shen Junzhi turned his head and saw a boy in his teens. He was strong and stocky, but with a fair complexion, he didn't look fierce.It's just that the dark green Confucian gown pinched with gold and the crooked square scarf on the top of the head are really eye-catching, dragging the originally handsome face into the ranks of "ugly".

Like Shen Junzhi, the young man was holding a little girl who was less than ten years old. This little girl was born in Yuxue and was cute. She was dressed in a light pink feather gauze skirt. There was a crackling sound.Shen Junzhi glanced at her waist, a hibiscus jade pendant that looked like a cat's paw print was particularly conspicuous.

Before Shen Junzhi could speak, his fingers held by Qiuqiu were loosened.The little girl who was almost "dragged" by him regained her spirits in an instant, and ran to the side of the siblings in two steps.

"Sister Bao!"

Qiuqiu called out in surprise, and rushed into Baochai's arms.Baochai was two years older than her, and Qiuqiu hasn't grown much in the past three years. The small ball can reach Baochai's chest, so even if Baochai was not prepared, she still caught the person steadily. .

Over the years, Baochai has become more calm, and her appearance has become more like everyone's demeanor, but when she saw her young friend, she rarely looked like a child and hugged her back.then.The two little girls hugged each other like this, just like back then.

At this time, Xue Pan also saw clearly the boy who was grabbing the almond tofu with him. Thinking of the beating by his father three years ago, Xue Pan only felt that his ass would ache when he saw His Royal Highness Xuan.

Forced out a smiling face, Xue Pan bit the bullet and said: "Well, Your Highness, it's not that I want to eat almond tofu, it's my chai who likes this, you see..."

Xue Pan silently prayed in his heart that His Royal Highness Xuan wanted to eat it himself. In that case, he is a big man, so he would be embarrassed to rob his sister, right?However, Shen Junzhi silently looked at the younger sister of the Jia family, but told Xue Pan clearly - your prayer is invalid, please recharge your character.

At this time, Qiuqiu reluctantly came out of the soft embrace of Miss Baochai Xiangxiang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, turned his head to look at Shen Junzhi, and then at Xue Xiaopang who looked embarrassed, she understood Satisfied, he waved to Shen Junzhi and said, "I want to eat with Sister Bao~"

As a result, a slightly weird scene appeared in the most prosperous sugar water shop in Shengjing.At the square table, two men, one fat and one thin, sat facing each other, while two overly pretty little girls sat together on the other side.In addition to the sugar water ordered earlier, there were also various cold fruit snacks on the table, and the two little girls fed each other a bowl of almond tofu.

Occasionally, the eyes meet, and the watery eyes on the two white and tender faces will bend into a crescent shape.

Compared with Shen Junzhi who randomly picked up a piece of perilla and ginger plum and threw it into his mouth and chewed it, Xue Pan who wanted to bury his face in the herbal tea bowl seemed a bit cramped.Unexpectedly, a sip of herbal tea choked into his nose, Xue Pan coughed repeatedly, and was in a hurry for a while before he was saved from the fate of being choked to death by a sip of herbal tea.

As soon as he looked up and saw the eyes of the three people who were "lovely and mentally retarded", Xue Pan almost cried silently.

——The sisters you promised are all caring little padded jackets?Xue Pan always felt that after meeting the sister of the Jia family, not only did he not feel doubled in warmth, but he felt that the little padded jacket from home was also leaking air.

After meeting Shen Junzhi, Master Xue finally stood in line.After ventilating with His Royal Highness King Xuan, Master Xue changed his negative attitude in the past and began to vigorously develop the various industries of the Xue family. Whether it is overseas trade or the original shop in Anqing, Master Xue has become more and more attentive in running the business. .

Mr. Xue is a man who has experienced ups and downs in the business world for several years, and his wrist, vision and strategy are above ordinary people.In addition, he surrendered to the emperor and secretly handed over [-]% of his income to the national treasury every year, which naturally exchanged for the support of the royal family.As a result, the Xue family's business routes have been greatly expanded, and it seems that they have controlled Anqing's economic lifeline.

Master Xue is not greedy, and he has clearly placed himself and the Xue family's position, so on the surface it is the Xue family that controls Anqing's economy, but in fact, it is the Holy General who is the source of wealth for the world, and through the hands of the Xue family And firmly in their own hands.

It's just that, the Xue family, which was originally the most low-key among the four major families of Jia Wang Shi Xue, was suddenly on the cusp.Especially Prince Zhongshun, not only is he extremely jealous of the Xue family's shipping business, but now he covets the Xue family's incomparably rich wealth.

After all kinds of explicit hints were blocked by Mr. Xue, Zhongshun finally got impatient and made a killer move on Mr. Xue's family.Fortunately, Shen Junzhi and Master Xue had thought of this a long time ago, and placed many hidden guards in Xue's house, which prevented Zhongshun's several assassinations.

The fact that the Xue family is so rich is no lie. In fact, the gold and silver handed over to the national treasury by their family alone can offset more than half of Anqing's tax revenue. In addition to the tax money paid by Xue Jiaming, it is said that it is the money bag of the Holy Majesty. Not too much.

Talent is rare.The emperor naturally knew that the current situation of the Xue family is very good, which is inseparable from Master Xue's decision.If the Xue family were to change to one person in power, it might not be able to achieve Master Xue's level.Feeling deeply that such a talent should not be harmed by Zhongshun, the emperor weighed it again and again, and simply swiped a pen, and issued an order to summon Master Xue to the capital.

Shengjing is completely within the emperor's sphere of influence. Since the abductee incident three years ago, the emperor has swept away Zhongshun's forces and controlled Shengjing like an iron bucket.Only here is the real safety of the Xue family.

After receiving the order, Master Xue made some arrangements to straighten out the power in Jinling, and ensured smooth communication between the ancestral house and his own family. After that, he brought his family to Shengjing. Whether the person at the helm is in Jinling or Shengjing does not make much difference to the Xue family's property.

The emperor summoned Xue's family to Beijing, so naturally he didn't just let them come for nothing.

The Holy Majesty has been enthroned for several years, and has been focusing on cleaning up the power of the family and old ministers.But the emperor also knew that the stability of a dynasty is like building a building on flat ground. The people are the foundation, the king is the roof, and the family and courtiers are the pillars.Now he wants to mend and replace the worm-eaten pillars, not to cut them down.

And the Xue family is the "pillar" he plans to build up.

Therefore, after inheriting the will of conferring Princess Qinglong, another conferment by the emperor directly set off a turbulent wave in the court.This time, he bestowed a decree on the Xue family, and directly named Master Xue the Marquis of Huai En from a merchant.

Although Master Xue used to be a member of Ziweishe, he was not in white clothes, but he was despised by the aristocratic family for his devotion to business.So after he was made a Marquis, there were endless voices of opposition in the court, and some veterans even said bluntly that it was a shame for Anqing that such a person could be a Marquis.If the emperor insists on this, then the minister can only crash to death in the palace, with full integrity.

The emperor didn't stop any of those who wanted to hit the pillars.He just threw out a piece of paper and asked Mr. Fu to read it to everyone.On that piece of paper, it was written how the Xue family opened a granary to help the people in the year of disaster, how to reduce the land rent in the year of harvest, and how to adopt orphans so that they would work in their own shop so that they would not starve to death. .

At the end, the emperor said: "Which of the lords can worry about my worries so far, and can also add officials and make them princes, which of the lords can?"

The courtiers who were fiercely opposed couldn't help but look at each other—they have been used to swinging between the emperor and the loyal prince these years, and it's okay to let them bicker at the court. Young children who are officials do a lot.

Zuo Zuo is just a false name, a title that cannot be hereditary, and the courtiers who were questioned by the emperor to the point of being speechless comforted themselves in this way, and stopped talking.

The emperor's decree formally clarified the Xue family's position, and the loyalty and obedience of the bamboo basket fetching water in vain were naturally furious.Therefore, on the way Xue's family entered the capital, they suffered five or six assassinations one after another, and even the hidden guards arranged beside them were [-]% discounted.

No matter how ignorant Xue Pan was, he vaguely understood the seriousness of the matter.During the short few days' journey from Jinling to Shengjing, he who always only knows how to eat and play foolishly has grown a lot.At least, when the carriage stopped for no reason, he would hold on to the knife he newly bought from the blacksmith shop and protect it in front of his mother and sister.

Ordinarily, a person like Master Xue would not be able to teach his son to be like this.It's just that at that time, Master Xue wanted to retire, so he deliberately indulged his only son.Later, when things turned around, Xue Xiaopang was already fourteen or fifteen years old, his temperament had already been developed, but he was no longer easy to discipline.

Fortunately, Master Xue just didn't teach him to be careful, but he didn't let him do evil things.For so many years, Jinling's overlord finally didn't cause any trouble.

Seeing the current situation of the Xue family, Master Xue simply chose a smart nephew from the rest of the Xue family, and raised him by his side since childhood.It doesn't matter how they can develop the Xue family, as long as they can keep the foundation, that's enough.

And his own son...Master Xue looked up at the sky, according to the amount of banknotes and Zhuangzi he prepared for his son, he would never die of hunger.After all, it is also a kind of blessing to be able to eat and play like this for a lifetime.

Master Xue is full of gratitude for the title bestowed upon him by the Holy Spirit.Although the title of the Marquis of Huai En cannot be hereditary, and Mr. Xue has already seen through the false name, but for his daughter who is dear to his heart, a girl from the Shang family and a noble girl from the Hou family are two different lives.

It can be said that the favor that the emperor sold to the Xue family was really just right.It really made Mr. Xue firmer in his position, and devoted himself to making money for the royal family.The emperor saw that this month's income was [-]% more than last month's, and he secretly felt that this Marquis Huai Enhou gave him... worth it!

Shen Junzhi naturally knew the reason why Xue's family came to Beijing. He looked at Qiuqiu who was tired of being with Miss Xue's family, and then glanced at Xue Xiaopang, who was more and more round, that is, more and more agreeable to his baby's aesthetics of "round" things. , Shen Junzhi narrowed his eyes.

His expression was concealed under the white veil, but for no reason it made Xue Pan feel a chill down his spine.
