Lin Ruhai nodded, and shook his head again, this is a little strange, why did he shake his head and nod again? At this time, the weather gradually darkened, and the Lin Mansion lit lanterns everywhere, and the lanterns were on, but they were faintly reflected against the bamboo plantain in front of the flower hall, "Old Prince Yizhong, facing the Hou family...... I'm afraid I can't look at it," Lin Ruhai said: "Prince Yizhong, when he didn't make a career before, he was just an idle clan, and he was not particularly prominent, so he became a brother-in-law with the Hou family, Prince Yizhong is arrogant, and he can be outstanding, and he looks down on these general affairs, so he naturally won't think about the Hou family in business, if the Hou family borrows a few points of the name of Prince Yizhong to ask for some silver, Prince Yizhong will not care about things here." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"But this is not the Hou family's reliance," Lin Ruhai attached great importance to Xue Pan at this time, and analyzed many things in the officialdom with Xue Pan one by one, "The Hou family and the deputy marshal of the army in the southwest, the Jiange Jiedu envoy, have an excellent relationship, when the battle in the southwest began, the Hou family donated 100,000 taels of silver, which was sent to the Jiange Festival as a military quartermaster, and this matter was commended by the emperor, so it ...... This is his greatest reliance. ”

It turned out to be a relationship between the army, and Xue Pan suddenly realized, so there is no need to be too surprised if he goes on here: "What I originally meant was that I thought that with a little affection from meeting Prince Yizhong in the past, I could let the Hou family help complete this salt introduction and reform of the faction, but now it seems that it is my scholarly temperament, and I am a little less sophisticated." ”

"This favor or ambition is originally difficult to achieve both," Xue Pan smiled, "How do you want to choose?" ”

"Me?" Lin Ruhai was slightly stunned, and asked Xue Pan rhetorically: "How to choose the nephew?" ”

Xue Pan pondered for a while, this topic seemed to be a little difficult to answer, but he thought about it, and then smiled slightly, "I am the most casual person, I still have to have my own thoughts, and the rest of the people are sophisticated, if you can take care of it, the best of both worlds is the best, if you can't take it into account, it's better to have your own first." ”

When this sentence came out, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it seems that this very outstanding young man is more pursuing his own comfort, and he is probably unwilling to take the road of official career, but it seems that he is the master of "not motivated", Lin Ruhai should be very sad, but Lin Ruhai is indeed very happy, "The words of the nephew have won my heart, if you can't do it in your heart, how can you do an errand?" Although I, Lin Ruhai, am not good, I will never exchange my daughter for any help that can get an errand. ”

Lin Ruhai said proudly, Xue Pan was also very impressed, and complimented again, Lin Ruhai continued: "What Jia Yucun said, I already know everything, if it is an ordinary time, I naturally have to think twice, or go further, but also ask for the will of Long Live, now I can't take care of it, the weather in the southwest, although it is not as bitter cold as outside the Saiwai, but if it is winter, it is not good to delay it any longer, and the army must take it out immediately!" ”

So he called Jia Yucun again, and the three of them had a secret discussion in the flower hall, and only said goodbye at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Ruhai did not leave Xue Pan, and sent Xue Pan to the door of the hanging flowers, Xue Pan saluted, "Since the matter has been decided, it can be organized in a few days." ”

Lin Ruhai nodded, "Then hurry up, I have dealt with the affairs of Liangzhejiang and Changlu, and I will handle this matter together." ”

Xue Pan said yes, and went out with Jia Yucun to get into the carriage, Jia Yucun didn't say a word just now, and then he couldn't help but speak: "Brother Shi, the Hou family, it's not so easy to offend." ”

"Of course I know that the Hou family is not easy to offend," Xue Pan shook his head, "It's just that I want to do this, but I can't help offending people, I took this hot potato, I originally thought that I could hide if I could, but now I look at it, this Hou Gongzi, what is it?" It's just relying on the remnants of his fathers, and he is still pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here," In the secret room, Xue Pan didn't pretend to be gentle and honest, and sneered again and again, "You actually dare to look down on me, sir, why did you say that those people who looked down on me before have gone." ”

"They have all been sent away by Brother Shi," Jia Yucun said with a smile, "Brother Shi's methods are very good, and he has always liked to sneak attack others quietly." ”

"Haha, Mr. praised it."

"But now, why is the world brother so impetuous?" Jia Yucun said a word, and saw that Xue Pan's face was calm, so he hurriedly said, "Naturally, young and high-spirited, there is no need to fake the color in front of these villains." ”

"This is nothing," Xue Pan said with a big grin, "It's just that Mr. also said in the end, everything is looking ahead and backwards, thinking too much, I'm afraid it's too much, since I want to do this, I want the big guys to listen to my orders honestly, sir, you say, what should I do?" ”

"Naturally, the gun shot the first bird, killing the chicken and setting an example for the monkey."

"Honestly," Xue Pan put away the fan and tapped the palm of his left hand with the fan bone of Xiangfei Bamboo, "The gun shoots the first bird, kills the chicken and sets an example for the monkey, if our ancestors stay, but it's not wrong at all, since you want to kill the chicken, why not pick the fattest, biggest and most beautiful chicken to kill?" The Hou family, judging from the character of Hou Gongzi, should kill his majesty, kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys? Oh, I'm sorry, but it looks like I'm going to kill the monkey today. ”

Xue Pan smiled slightly, "Sir, have you ever heard of the word 'Tianliang Wang Po'?" ”

Jia Yucun shook his head, "The students have never heard of it. ”

"I really want to have that kind of momentum," Xue Pan stretched his waist, "I'm just afraid that it won't work now, but I think it will still be possible to use the Hou family as a raft." There is no distinction between high and low labor, but he sarcastically mocked me as a weaver to my face, which is not fun, life is in the world, life is nothing more than a face, he doesn't give me face like this, and he doesn't give Lin Lord face, no wonder he is looking for death himself, no wonder others. ”

"Prince Yizhong and the envoy of the Sword Pavilion are the support of the Hou family, if the world brother wants to do it, he still needs to pay attention to the scale," Jia Yucun reminded, "If it damages the face of these people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end at that time." ”

"This naturally makes sense, but don't worry too much," Xue Pan was very confident, "Since I know the foundation of this Hou family, naturally, I know, even if the Hou family suffers a big loss, those behind him will not come to me for trouble." ”

"This matter was done by Lord Lin, I am just a co-organizer, not the mastermind, of course, the idea and charter to change the faction is my right, but I am so modest, how can I count this credit on my own head?"
