Fifty-seven, sleepless in the dead of night

Xue An is really afraid that Xue Pan will play a child's temper, and when the time comes, he will be stubborn and really mess up this matter, and the big guys will be unlucky at that time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"What, does the third uncle think that the nephew wants to split up?"

"Don't tell me you don't have this plan," Xue An shook his head and said, "A big family like ours is not separated, no matter how many people and how many houses, they all live together, which family has an old population, and a new child has been added, and the public middle school is taken care of, this is a family, I am afraid that you are young and vigorous, so you want to live your own life, but you have left the rest of the family behind, although the errand is handed over, but the reputation of the Xue family is also ugly." ”

"I'm strange about this," Xue Pan didn't deny that he wanted to split up, "This time, the big guy is torn his face, is it possible that the big guy will stay together in the future, but there is no such statement." ”

Xue An explained, in the final analysis, it is the role of the clan, in this era, the strength of the clan is unimaginable, but Xue Pan already has an idea, at this time he is unwilling to nod directly and agree, "This matter, I forgive my fate, and do not hide it from the third uncle, I did move the idea of splitting the family, but now I am not busy, if it is tomorrow's discussion, the eighth and fifth rooms will be aggressive, making many disgusting appearances, I am not willing to continue to live with them, no one else is unjust, But I can't be unkind. ”

Xue An saw that Xue Pan had already made up his mind, so he had no choice but to say anything more.

"For the rest, the third uncle will naturally help you."

"The third uncle is willing to help his nephew, and the nephew is only grateful, but now there is something to ask the third uncle to help," Xue Pan picked up the folding fan on the table of the Eight Immortals and turned on the fan, "In the future, I am only afraid that I will have to study more medicinal materials, but I don't know if the third uncle is willing to help?" ”

"What's this, the rules of our family are that your uncle and I purchase medicines, and the worshippers and doctors at the head of the family are in charge of the long house, so it has always been like this, if you are willing," Xue An said, "You will purchase medicines with me in the future, and it is good to see the market." ”

"Thank you to the third uncle first," Xue Pan stood up and bowed and left, he is not a person who drags mud and water, and when the matter is negotiated, there is naturally no need to stay longer, "The nephew has to go home to keep a watch, and he can't be separated, so he retires." ”

Xue An called out to Xue Pan, "Brother Pan, you are a good boy," he poured two bowls of wine, stood up and served it to Xue Pan, "Today we will drink a bowl together, which can be regarded as mourning for the master." ”

Xue Pan looked at the amber-like wine, then looked at Xue An, and nodded, "The third uncle is bold, and the nephew is naturally accompanied." He picked up the bowl, craned his neck, and drank it all at once.

The wine was sad and turned into sad tears, Xue An looked at Xue Pan's departing back, and sat down softly, "Big brother, third brother, I really can't stand you, for this family," he couldn't help but tear his eyes, "Taking care of the so-called overall situation, it is really useless to help others to damage Brother Pan." ”

The wine was sad and turned into tears, Xue Pan got into the carriage, I don't know how, tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes, Zhen'er hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped Xue Pan's eyes, Xue Pan took the handkerchief and said to Zhang Rugui, "I never thought this was so fierce." ”

Zhang Rugui thought to himself, are you deceiving ghosts? Taidiao is the daughter red that Shaoxing people say, where can rice wine be strong? It's just that I'm afraid that it will arouse your sorrow, but since Xue Pan said so, he naturally can't refute it, and said with a smile: "When I return to the mansion and drink the sobering soup, the world brother will settle it earlier." ”

Xue Pan shook his head, "I can't sleep yet, there are a lot of things to do, I have to think about them one by one today, and I'm also bothering Mr. Zhang, let's accompany me in front of the spirit." ”

When he quietly returned home, he went to his mother Xue Wang's room to explain today's events, he was afraid that his mother would be worried and did not say that Zhen Yingjia sent Zhen Baoyu's unobtrusive child to come over to sit in town, and the matter made it clear that Zhen Yingjia looked at his uncle's face and promised to help, Xue Wang's family was overjoyed, and ordered Xue Pan to rest earlier.

Xue Pan didn't sleep, changed his clothes, had dinner, dressed in linen and filial piety to the spirit, and drank to order the attendants to withdraw, leaving only Zhang Rugui to accompany him, at ten o'clock, Zhang Rugui retired, leaving only Xue Pan to kneel silently in front of the spirit, and kept putting yellow paper in the brazier, the yellow paper was very easy to ignite, and after a while, it burned a lot, and the paper ash was blown by the night wind, and kept rising into the air, and rolled with the wind, and the entire mourning hall was paper ash.

Jinling customs, all say to worship ancestors or to guard the spirit, if there is such a scene of paper ashes flying, it means that the ancestors are extremely satisfied with the people and pomp of the sacrifice, so the heroic spirit drives the paper ashes to fly, if in the eyes of the old people such as Steward Zhang, this is the lord is very pleased that the uncle can keep the spirit.

In the wings on both sides, the monk and the nun kept beating the wooden fish and reciting the Buddhist scriptures, in the excess of the dead, Xue Pan knelt in the middle hall, although the sound was noisy, transmitted to the mourning hall, but it was not very harsh, and even faintly listened to some people who felt calm.

Seeing that it was about to arrive, Zhen'er came to urge, "It's not too early, the uncle has to discuss with the houses tomorrow, so let's settle it early." ”

Xue Pan silently put the remaining yellow paper in the brazier and burned it, then stood up, maybe it was a long time coming, his legs and feet were a little inconvenient, he was helped by Zhen'er to move a few steps, he slowly walked to the backyard, passing by Xue Baochai's yard, only to see that the lights were still on, he walked into the yard, Ying'er came to ask for peace, "Uncle." ”

"The girl still hasn't slept?"

"I don't know how, in the past two days, looking at the medical books, as well as the prescriptions stored in our family, I have been stunned, no matter how the slave and maid persuade me, I can't persuade them!"

Xue Pan nodded, took a porcelain lantern oil lamp covered with rice paper from Ying'er's hand, and walked to Xue Baochai's boudoir with dim lighting.

When Xue Baochai heard the footsteps, he thought it was Ying'er, "Ying'er pour me a cup of tea." ”

"Sister," Xue Pan looked at Xue Baochai and said gently.

Xue Baochai raised his head, his face was haggard, "Brother, I've been checking for a while, and I'll be able to finish it in a while." ”

"Yes," Xue Pan lit the oil lamp, "Brother already has an idea, don't be in a hurry about this, you just take your time." ”

The two only heard the sound of insects chirping in the middle of the night, and the wind was slowly blowing in the distance, and in the dark room, Xue Pan's smile was extraordinarily warm and moist.
