Xue Pan sat in the study and waited for a while, and the messages from all over the place were replied, which was a little relieved, so what to think about by yourself, speaking of which, it is really a little troublesome, since Jia Yucun resigned, there has been no effective Qingke master at home to help with the reception of guests and the number of rituals outside, and has been called Steward Zhang to receive, this is not appropriate, the identity of the housekeeper, many people with high status feel that the housekeeper is a house slave in the end, and it is not suitable to appear in the place of hospitality, naturally, This is also different from person to person, the former Ming minister Zhang Juzheng's housekeeper You Qi befriended all ministerial-level high-ranking officials, if the guests who came to the door had You Qi reception, they felt that it was already a supreme honor. Second, Steward Zhang is older, and letting him do these ushers and send them to him will inevitably be a little tired, so Xue Pan thought that it would be better to recruit a few more Qing guests, at least if there are really guests, he will not say that he wants Aunt Xue to come out to entertain.

Take this matter to heart, and don't worry, the most important thing to deal with is the matter in front of you, who is that, Han Biaode stopped himself from provoking nothing, in this outside world, there have always been many enemies and few friends, and the enemy wants to make a stumbling block for himself, so naturally he will do everything, this is nothing, but why does he continue to come here, and he also dispatched the soldiers and horses of the five cities? What's to be done?

Xue Pan was wondering, and Zhen'er came back to say: "Uncle, Xiao Liang said that he knew about the matter outside the Xihua Gate of Father-in-law An, and it was not a big deal, so he didn't say anything, but the matter of the official school of Xian'an Palace has not yet been decided, and it is about to make trouble here, maybe it is to look at the matter on this side, so that the uncle can pay attention to it." ”

"Wait a minute," Xue Pan said hurriedly, "What do you mean by paying attention to myself?" ”

Zhen'er said with a bitter face, "He just told me a few words, and he didn't say much about the rest." ”

"Idiot, idiot!" Xue Pan scolded, "Can't you ask a few more questions?" ”

Zhen'er touched her nose and muttered, "Didn't the uncle tell me to remember how he spoke?" This is going to call me stupid again......"

Xue Pan shook his head helplessly, "I said Zhen'er, if you want to get ahead, oh, no, if you don't want to be a little girl forever, your brain, you have to learn to be excited, things that the uncle can't think of, you have to think of the things that the uncle didn't do, you should also do it, this is a qualified scholar companion, otherwise, you are likely to be a scholar all the time, don't you want to be a housekeeper?" Or go out to study and take the top prize? People always have to have some ideals. ”

Zhen'er smiled and said, "I don't have the brain of the uncle, what to read, nothing will be able to do anything, I will only serve people, so I don't dream of what I want to take the top prize, besides, the uncle himself has a headache when he sees the book, as the saying goes, there must be a servant with his master, and the uncle can't study, can I still take the top prize?" ”

Zhen'er sarcastically said a few words to Xue Pan, and hurriedly retreated, sure enough, Xue Pan shouted angrily in the study, Zhen'er shrank her head and ran towards the back, she was stopped by someone on the way, Zhen'er raised her head and saw Yang Zhi standing in the open Xuan, waving to herself, Zhen'er smiled and said, "Sister Yang Zhi, why did you call me?" But what's the matter? Do you want to give me candy? ”

"I've been out with my uncle for so long, and my mouth is still so gluttonous, I don't have your candy to eat!" Yang Zhi scolded with a smile, I don't know what's going on, she's a little haggard these days, "Don't make trouble, let me ask you, where is the uncle?" ”

"What about the study outside, my sister has something to do with the uncle?" Zhen'er said, "It's better not to go this time, uncle, you have something to worry about!" ”

Yang Zhi hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, but when you were eating just now, you said that the uncle was shooting people outside?" ”

"That's it, just now the lord of the Five Cities Terracotta Division asked the uncle to go to the yamen to talk, the uncle didn't go, so there was a quarrel, this time the uncle is in contact with the old men outside, see what to do about this, such a troublesome thing is being done," Zhen'er warned Yang Zhi, "If my sister has anything to say, let's wait until I go back in the evening." ”

Yang Zhi nodded, "That's right, I'm fine, you bring in the uncle's bedding, I'll wash it." ”

"I've already taken it in, and it was received by Sister Qingwen."

Yang Zhi realized a little hindsight, "Yes, Shicai is at his wife's, but the uncle forgot to do something here, fortunately, there is Qingwen." ”

Yang Zhi returned to Xue Pan's yard, and saw He'er and Hong'er taking out Xue Pan's bedding to dry under the corridor, although it was November and the weather was close to midwinter, but the sun was just right during the day, and the two saw Yang Zhi coming back, and hurriedly said, "Sister Yang Zhi, Uncle left good things for you, and they have been placed in your house." ”

"What kind of good thing," Yang Zhi smiled, "You still say that?" ”

A few people laughed a few words, Yang Zhi raised his feet and entered Xue Pan's house, only to see Yan'er cleaning and wiping the table, Qingwen sitting on the Luohan bed, and took out the clothes she made for Xue Pan a few days ago, "Ah, I see the uncle today, it seems that he has grown taller again, and I am afraid that this dress will not be long enough." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, she raised her head and saw Yang Zhi coming in, and she didn't know how, Qingwen sneered slightly, and fired a cannon at Yang Zhi, "It turned out to be Sister Yang Zhi, I said where did you go this day?" Uncle just came home, I didn't see you come back to help pack up things, but always stayed in the wife's room, what is this going to do? If you are not happy to share a room with these people, why not go back to your wife, or throw me out, or go back to your wife's room to serve, why bother making trouble here? The big guys don't like each other, so why not shoot them apart! ”

Yan'er hurriedly said, "Sister, what are you doing?" Don't talk about that. ”

"If you have something to say, why not?" Qingwen said quickly and anxiously, "Although there are not many things in the house, in the end, the uncle is at home, and the big guys have to pay attention!" ”

Yan'er didn't dare to speak, Yang Zhi knew Qingwen's temper, if she spoke at this time, it would inevitably be more noisy and fierce, so she smiled slightly, and didn't speak, but just cleaned up everything in her own part.
