"My brother didn't say it, it seems that he is a close guest," said Baochai, "otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to leave him alone in the study." ”

Xue Pan arrived at the outer study, Zhen'er had already given An Fuhai wine and food to eat, An Fuhai saw Xue Pan's face shiny, he knew that he had eaten, drank a glass of wine, and snorted coldly, "Since you are here, what should I do!" ”

The coachman was already waiting on the side, and when he heard An Fuhai say this, he announced: "There is a Mr. Zhang in General Shenwei's mansion, who is Feng Ziying's former teacher, and he has listened to the order tomorrow and wants to come to Ningguofu for consultation." ”

"How did he get here? What to do in Luoyang? Xue Pan asked.

"I came to Luoyang to donate officials to my son." The coachman is obviously not a real coachman, but should be An Fuhai's right-hand man, just pretending to be a coachman, "Because he has an old relationship with General Shenwei's mansion, he lives in his house." ”

"Donor?" Xue Pan asked, "What kind of official do you want to donate?" Where can the officials ask? ”

"Said to donate a lack of knowledge, the official position card on the side of the ministry is tight, and all the donors are not allowed to do their jobs, but they are more relaxed when they receive people and entertain guests." "Therefore it is only a false title." ”

Although it is a false title, but this official position is also difficult, Tongzhi is the prefect's right and left hand, is the fifth product, such a donation official, if in the locality, and other idle county prefects do not have to be put in their eyes, so this Mr. Zhang wants to come to the capital to personally operate the donation official, Xue Pan nodded, "Do what he likes, in order to do this well," he said to An Fuhai, "This matter will still fall on Mr. Zhang, and it will also fall on this donation official." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Can my father-in-law give this position as a donor?"

"Naturally," An Fuhai said proudly, "It's just a confidant, if this matter is done, as long as his son is an official person, I will promise him a confidant." ”

Xue Pan was really smacked when he heard it, his labor and management are the officials of the sixth grade, this An Fuhai promised a real lack with one mouth, it was really more popular than people, "That's the best," Xue Pan had a plan in his heart, and said his plan, An Fuhai nodded, and the matter was settled. He got up, "I'll tell someone to get ready at night, why don't you act tonight?" ”

"This matter is not in a hurry, if he says it tonight, he thinks about it, but it will be a bad thing, that is, he will smash people out with a heavy gift all of a sudden, and people will impulsively do this for you, not to mention that it is not good if he is alarmed Feng Mansion."

An Fuhai nodded, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, I'll go to the palace today, Xiaoliang," he instructed the coachman, "You just stay here with Xue Pan boy, and if there is anything going on, just tell him, and he will help make a decision." ”

Xue Pan didn't want to leave a spy at home, but An Fuhai's words were not easy to refuse, so he stubbornly said, "Does my father-in-law want to come out tomorrow?" ”

"Naturally, I have to come out, I have to see it with my own eyes." Xue Pan persuaded again, and An Fuhai retreated, "That's it, I'll call someone in tomorrow." ”

Xue Pan sent An Fuhai out, Aunt Xue came over at this time, she didn't worry that Xue Pan was afraid of snubbing the guests, so she came to take a look in person, but I didn't expect the two of them to face each other, An Fuhai saw Aunt Xue, I didn't know who it was for a while, Xue Pan hurriedly said: "This is my mother." ”

An Fuhai glanced at Aunt Xue a few times, and then suddenly realized, "You are Brother Xue's wife." ”

"Do you know your late husband?" Aunt Xue glanced at An Fuhai a few times, and only felt a little kind, but she didn't remember which one it was, "The concubine is rude." ”

Aunt Xue saluted An Fuhai, the look on An Fuhai's face was a little strange, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and a little sad, "It's that there were several sides in the past, and it's not too close," An Fuhai said coldly, "I took the liberty to come today, but I didn't bring a gift," he turned his head to Xue Pan behind him and said, "I'll make up for Lingtang in the future." ”

He nodded to Aunt Xue, and left, Xue Pan was sent to the door, only to see a few people out of nowhere, taking the place of the coachman, and driving An Fuhai's carriage away, Xue Pan returned to the yard, and saw that Aunt Xue was still outside, "Who is this guest?" It's a little kind-hearted, but I can't remember where I've seen it. ”

"My father knew him in the past, and he didn't know him very well, but he came to me to do something, so he came today," Xue Pan said with a smile, "He doesn't want others to mention his name, so it's not easy to say his name," he reminded Aunt Xue, "It's not good to tell others." ”

Xue Pan's father used to make friends with three religions and nine streams, and he knew a lot of people, and there were not no people with quirks, Xue Pan said this, Aunt Xue was not suspicious, "That's it, if you come to the house again, let me see it, it's your old acquaintance, I also have to treat one or two well." ”

Xue Pan agreed, and sent Aunt Xue back to the room first, at this time, Baoyu and Daiyu had already gone out together to prepare to leave, Xue Pan instructed the girls, "It's cold and the road is slippery, so be careful." He smiled at Daiyu again, "Don't let your brother Bao get drunk and go crazy." ”

Baoyu's face showed a burgundy color, obviously he had drunk too much, he heard Xue Pan say this, and said with a smile, "Big brother made fun of me, but I didn't get drunk, I just made fun of my aunt," he grabbed Xue Pan again, and carefully told him to hurry up and prepare to open a poetry club, and said that where the flowers are good, he would take Xue Pan to see it, and said that he would invite Qin Zhong to come to see Xue Pan, so chattering, Xue Pan couldn't cry or laugh, while coaxing him, he asked the servant to send it over in person.

He turned back to the study and saw that Xiao Liang was still there, Xue Panyin asked him how to call him, "The ancestor called me Xiao Liang, and I will be called Xiao Liang," Xiao Liang said with a smile and meekness, "The adults will call me Xiao Liang." ”

It seems that he doesn't want to say his real name, Xue Pan asked him to stay here, if there is anything to greet him, Xiao Liang is obviously a qualified subordinate, and he doesn't ask An Fuhai what he is doing here, hearing Xue Pan say this, he replied: "Yes, if there is any movement in the Feng family, I will report it immediately, everything is peaceful in Ning Guofu, nothing serious." ”

Xue Pan didn't want to hear these things, Ning Guofu was afraid when he heard the name now, sometimes the more things he knew, the more miserable his death would be in the future, "Don't tell me the rest of the things except for the things that Father-in-law An ordered, it's all confidential, I don't dare to listen to it." ”
