[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 57

Jia Lian had never seen Xue Xun in his previous life, but he was dressed as a Confucian scholar sitting in the hall, and he was very bookish.If he hadn't known that he was a businessman, probably Jia Lian would have thought he was a scholar.

Xue Pan sitting next to Xue Xun was not much different from his previous life, but was much younger.This Xue Panming is younger than Wang Xifeng next year, but she often jokingly calls him Big Brother, probably because he is tall and looks much older than his peers.

At this time, Xue Pan was only ten years old, and his strong appearance would be believed even at the age of 14.Compared with Jia Lian's suave and suave style, which is far superior to that of his peers, this Xue Pan is really dumb, as you can tell by the silly smile on his face.

It is said that Xue Pan has such a shrewd father and sister, but he is so stupid by nature. If it weren't for Aunt Xue, who is not shrewd, and his facial features are [-]% like Xue Xun, maybe he would think he is a The civet cat got it in exchange for the prince.

Xue Xun's complexion was not very good, and there was a faint bruise in his eyes.Jia Lian, who had studied medical skills, knew that this was a sign of his poor health, but he had no obligation and didn't want to remind Xue Xun.

The Xue family is the only imperial merchant among the four major families in Jinling who has not become an official. Although their status is a little low, they can be regarded as a family with the ability to call the wind and rain in Jinling.Jia Lian wouldn't believe it if such a family didn't enshrine a few grand husbands with good medical skills.

"Master Hou is indeed a young hero, Xue Xun admires him!" Xue Xun looked at Jia Lian calmly, and finally said with his hands clasped.Letting his big-hearted sister-in-law return home without making a move, this Jia Lian is really not a simple character.

For Xue Xun, marrying the daughter of the Wang family was an unavoidable choice.

Although the Xue family is said to be one of the four major families in Jinling and has a place on the guardian talisman, it actually has no real power at all.The four major families are headed by the Jia family. Over the years, both the historians and the Wang family have married into the Jia family, but none of the daughters of the Jia family, no matter whether they are prostitutes or concubines, have married into the other three families of the four major families.

The Xue family wanted to get in touch with the Jia family, so they could only take a roundabout route.

When Xue Xun talked about their marriage, the Shi family and the Wang family happened to have daughters of the right age, but the Shi family never considered marrying their daughters to the Xue family.As for the Wang family, if Xue Xun's father hadn't promised that the Wang family would pay a large sum of dowry, and the one who proposed to marry was a concubine girl who was raised by his aunt's side, Xue Xun would not be able to reach the top.

Xue Xun is a leader in the generation of the Xue family and the only son of Xue's family. With such a heavy burden on him, even if he wanted to be a scholar again, he had to give up.Xue Xun was unwilling to marry the daughter of the Wang family.But even such a daughter of the royal family will have to sacrifice for her after she gets married!

Before Xue Wangshi gave birth to Xue Pan, Xue Xun would only go to other women in the backyard during the few days when Xue Wangshi was inconvenient, and had to give those women avoiding son soup.After having Xue Pan, the eldest son, Xue Xun wanted to have more children and more blessings, but at that time Wang Ziteng was rising steadily in the capital, so he could only continue the previous practice.

Although Wang Xue is not a daughter-in-law, she has a good relationship with Wang Ziteng because she has been raised by her mother-in-law. Besides, Wang Xue has a good relationship with Mrs. Wang and sisters in Rongguo Mansion. Xue Xun has no choice but to be patient.Even if Xue Pan became more and more unbearable under Xue Wang's doting, he couldn't really be ruthless and strictly control him.

In addition to being afraid of the forces behind Xue Wang's family, Xue Xun, who only has Xue Pan as his son, is also worried about what problems his oppression and restraint will cause Xue Pan.Therefore, after Xue Wang's family gave birth to Xue Baochai, Xue Xun put his mind on this daughter.

Xue Wang's family also loves Xue Baochai's daughter very much, but when she is compared with Xue Pan, she is completely forgotten.Xue Xun has a lot of dissatisfaction with Xue Wang's family, but as long as there are Wang Ziteng and Rongguo Mansion behind her, Xue Xun can only love this first wife.

Although Prince Teng's power has been weak in the past two years, and Mrs. Wang's family has also been separated from Rongguo Mansion, but compared with the Xue family, these two families still have deep roots.However, Xue Xun's style at home is a little tougher than before, at least now he often lingers in the backyard, and Bizitang has stopped.

Firstly, Xue Pan is still ten years old now, so there is no need to worry about his concubine brother fighting with him; secondly, under Xue Wang's pampering, Xue Pan is too muddy to support him, Xue Xun hopes that he can have a younger brother to help him .Whoever made Xue Wang's body hurt when giving birth to her daughter would never be able to conceive in this life.

This time when Jia Lian returned to his hometown to observe his filial piety, Xue Xun didn't know why he went to the coast to buy goods.After returning, Mrs. Xue did not tell him, after all, for Mrs. Xue, Jia Lian was the enemy of her sister Mrs. Wang, and she could not get close to her enemy behind Mrs. Wang's back.

If Xue Xun hadn't sorted through the posts when he was away every time he went home, he would have really missed Jia Lian's news.Xue Xun is an ambitious and capable man. Although he can't see clearly about the affairs of the court, he knows how to put himself in another place.

He is in charge of all the business of the Xue family, and he hates those who are in charge of the accountants who are corrupt behind his back and use the Xue family's shop for their own interests.He is just a businessman in the world, let alone the emperor who is aloof?

The Zhen family has become the local emperor in the south of the Yangtze River since Emperor Longxu ascended the throne, and the four times of taking over the throne left the Zhen family with a huge deficit.Then, in order for the Zhen family to fill in the shortfall, Emperor Longxu successively gave the Zhen family positions such as Jiangnan weaving and inspecting the salt censor, which could make a lot of money.The Zhen family obtained a lot of property, but they did not choose to fill in the shortfall, but used all the money for their lives.

Now Emperor Longxu is temporarily not caring about it for the sake of the old lady of the Zhen family, but the Zhen family is still jumping around like this without self-knowledge.Once the master on the dragon chair changes, if it is not the prince who was born by the former Concubine Zhen in the palace, the Zhen family will be completely finished!

Others don't know how much the Zhen family has been short-lived and embezzled, how can Xue Xun, a businessman, not know?

As early as when the prince was imprisoned by the two princes who were born out of the abandoned concubine Zhen, Xue Xun made up his mind to change the ship.But this south of the Yangtze River is the world of the Zhen family, and he has no other connections in the capital except the Wang family and Mrs. Wang. It is not easy for him to get on line with the prince who is his last hope.

Just when Xue Xun desperately wanted to give up and began to consider arranging Xue Baochai to participate in the small election and enter the palace to help Xue's family get help from the royal family, Jia Lian just fell from the sky!

Xue Xun knew that Jia Lian belonged to the Ninth Prince, and the relationship between the Ninth Prince and the prince he favored was not very good.But others may not be able to see it, but he, a businessman who is good at dealing with people, has seen some tricks.Even if his deduction is wrong, with that attitude towards the Ninth Prince, as long as he and the Ninth Prince get on the line, he can probably save their Xue family.

It's not that Xue Xun doesn't want the Xue family to go further, but he and the Zhen family have always been very close in order to gain a foothold in Jiangnan. This is an undeniable fact.In addition, his only heir, Xue Pan, is a spoiled, domineering and stubborn bad boy. The only thing he can think of is to try his best to keep the Xue family and the Xue family's foundation in this turmoil, so that maybe one day the Xue family can make a comeback Opportunity.

So Xue Xun sent a greeting card to Jia Lian regardless of face, just because Jia Lian was the last straw in his eyes.

"Mr. Xue Miao Zan, Jia Lian is ashamed and dare not take it." As far as the skill of greetings is concerned, Jia Lian thinks that he is still pretty good now.But this Xue Xun is still on the right track, even though he said everything he said on the day of the invitation post was from his relatives, today he is not called a good nephew but a marquis, which changed Jia Lian's impression of him a little. a little.

"Master Hou is really too modest." The sincerity on Xue Xun's face made it impossible to doubt, "In history, there are very few people like Lord Hou who have achieved this at such a young age. Although it is inevitable, there are very few."

Reaching out and not hitting the smiling man, not to mention that this smiling man is so good at talking, the smile on Jia Lian's face can't help but become a little less fake.It's no wonder that the Xue family's business can develop to such a peak in the hands of this man, he really knows how to behave.It's a pity that he died a little too early. If he didn't want to come to the Xue family in his previous life, it wouldn't be so easy for Mrs. Wang to give up.

However, Jia Lian still couldn't figure it out.This Xue Xun is so capable, doesn't he know the importance of having no successor to a family?It is better to train Xue Baochai than to control Xue Pan more. If Xue Pan is a little more sensible, the Xue family will not end so badly.

"Can Jia Lian know why Mr. Xue is here today?" Jia Lian's sudden straightforwardness surprised Xue Xun, and he couldn't say what he had prepared next.

He originally planned to exchange pleasantries and flatter Jia Lian without any trace, and then tactfully reveal his intention for coming when he was happy and selfless.It's a pity that he made a lot of preparations and rehearsals, but he didn't expect that Jia Lian would not act according to his script at all.

"Master Hou..."

"Father, it's so boring here, let's go home!" Xue Panhu, who looked left and right and finally got impatient and didn't want to bear it any longer, said loudly.

There is not even a beautiful maid here, and tea is served by servants.The Hou Ye that his father said was quite suitable for him, but no matter how arrogant he was, he knew what the Hou Ye meant, so he naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous.But here is really boring for him, it is better to go home early.

He would rather go back and play with his girl who sweetly called him brother than just sit here.

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xue Pan. Xue Pan didn't respond but was impatient, but Xue Xun was almost scared.He brought Xue Pan out to meet the market this time, but he didn't expect Xue Pan to react like this!

Jia Lian fought and made great contributions on the alien battlefield in northern Xinjiang. Such people generally have stronger self-esteem than others.Xue Pan didn't give him face like this, and when he got angry, what good fruit could Xue Pan have?

"Master Hou, calm down, the dog is really stubborn, I will apologize to Master Hou for the dog." Xue Xun quickly got up and bowed to Jia Lian with both hands.

This action of his caused Jia Lian's eyes to flicker, and then shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Xue is too careful, your son is just innocent and playful, what's the crime?"
