Xue Panyi was righteous and strict, and he was as righteous as the spokesman of the Prime Minister Yamen of the Imperial Court, "Lord Yang takes care of me very much, and the two of us are very friendly." ”

will believe that you are a ghost, and the same knows that he secretly slanders, but his face is not revealed, and he is diligent in persuading him to drink, Xue Pan will not drink after a few drinks, "My mother is still waiting at home, and if I go home drunk, I will be punished." ”

"Very much," the prefect of Jinling said with a smile, "then please have another bowl of hangover soup." ”

When Xue Pan said goodbye and left, the prefect of Jinling pondered for a while, and gave instructions to Tongzhi: "He knows how to advance and retreat, and he will not blindly take advantage, such a person can have a good life, you see where there is no restriction there, you can give him some ways to make money, and allocate it to him." ”

Jinling Mansion is the provincial capital, and the Jinling prefect has great power and resources. And the first and second in command have always gotten along very poorly, but Tongzhi obviously cooperates with the prefect quite tacitly, "What the lord commanded is very much, I originally thought that he would return with such a triumphant victory, and we always have to let it go again, but I didn't expect to be able to not stick to these small things of money, but let this plan of the lower officials become a joke." ”

"It's not like that, we are trembling, just to make up for the previous deficit," the prefect of Jinling snorted coldly, "The silver of Taizu Taizong's southern tour in the past, after so long, has not filled the deficit, Zhen Yingjia, this old man, is very sleek, these things that want to be out of silver will not be contaminated by half a cent, there is no way to fill it ourselves, there is a shortage of silver, so naturally we have to pay extra attention, this is not your business, we will discuss it together." ”

"Yes, it seems that the Xue family has a good talent," Tongzhi sighed, "He is not arrogant, he knows how to advance and retreat, but he is much stronger than others, Dafu doesn't know yet, a young master of the Jia family came over with a post, and said that he would say something about the tariff on goods in Hushu Pass, but the lower official was not emotional, so he had to do it according to his wishes." ”

"Is this true?" The prefect of Jinling hurriedly asked, "I have to do it according to their wishes, the heads of the four major families are not easy to mess with," the prefect sighed, "The Xue family is fine, everything is just for business, but the rest of the families are not so easy to talk to, the descendants are all in the capital, but there are many side branches here in Jinling, and the status is not known, just with some surnames, they come to shout, not the son of man, there are comfortable things in the world that can be asked for in the face!" ”

"As an official in Jinling, it can't be said that you have to follow the talisman to come, and the errand should be stable," Tongzhi said with relief, "These families are intertwined, prosperous for seventy or eighty years, and there are also children who are not young, among the younger generation of talents, Xia Guan looked at these four families, and it is nothing more than the one in front of him." ”

"Be cautious, I'd rather give more face than easily offend," the prefect ordered, "Young people have a good face, face is here, everything is easy to do, and we can be more comfortable dealing with people who know how to advance and retreat, good guy, this little overlord, I'm afraid that when he gets to the east wind, he will be able to jump into the sky!" ”

Xue Pan hiccuped, hurriedly returned home, the door of the Admiral's Mansion was wide open, the boxes and other luggage that had been prepared to be sent back had been arranged, the errand of the Admiral's Mansion and the servants at home had already lined up, and when they saw Xue Pan returning to the house, they all bowed down: "My lord goes home!" ”

"Your Excellency is home!"

Xue Pan laughed, "All are rewarded!" ”

When they arrived at the inner courtyard, the whole family had already arrived, and the wives and younger brothers and sisters of all parties were waiting in front of the flower hall with Xue Wang's family and Baochai, Xue Pan saw his mother and quickly knelt down to say goodbye, "My son is back." ”

Xue Wang's face had a very happy expression, but his mouth was still chattering with disgust, "I've been to Yangzhou for so long, and now I'm back, I don't think you have to come back, just stay in Yangzhou for the New Year." ”

Mrs. Erfang pursed her lips and smiled, "Mrs. has to talk to the uncle dozens of times a day, and now that the uncle is back, why don't you let the uncle go back?" ”

I haven't heard it for a long time, Xue Wang's babble a few words, and quickly pulled Xue Pan up, "Before I went home, I was drinking and going wild outside, and I really didn't care about your sister and me at all." ”

Xue Pan said with a smile, "My son is going to do a serious errand and drink with the mansions, how can it be considered drinking?" Of course, it's a serious job, and after the mundane things outside are done, it's good to come back to my mother and sister, right? ”

Xue Wangshi grabbed Xue Panzi and carefully looked at his feet from head to toe, "My son, I have only been out for so many days, and I have become dark and thin, it can be seen that the water and soil in Yangzhou are not good, and what about it," she said in a loud voice, "The people outside, the uncle who serves is not good, how is this taken care of!" Uncle is thin! ”

Xue Pan really loves this feeling of being spoiled, unprincipled doting, although many times the concept may be wrong, but if you really experience it like this, the feeling of enjoyment is excellent, Xue Pan lacked more family affection last time, I didn't expect to come to this world, although there is no father, but the mother is loving, the sister is smart, but he has enjoyed the beauty of family affection, he is very moved, but still rejected Xue Wang's: "What is Mrs. talking nonsense?" It's normal to lose weight, and I can't always be so fat, it's not good if I can't walk if I'm fat. ”

Xue Baochai saluted Xue Pan on the side of Xue Wang's family, "Brother is back." ”

"Hello sister," Xue Pan took Baochai's hand, "How are you at home these days?" I'm really embarrassed to let you take care of my wife alone. ”

"What did my brother say, it's right to take care of my mother, and my brother is doing well outside? There are many inconveniences outside, but they are not as good as at home. ”

"Yes, but fortunately they are all back," Xue Pan said with a smile, he met with the wives and younger brothers and sisters again, and touched Xue Zhen's head, "Aunts, don't go, eat together, I brought a lot of good things back from Yangzhou, they are all ready, and each family has a share." ”

Xue Pan was already ready to come back, so he also invited a troupe from outside to perform, Xue Pan went to change clothes first, and when he arrived in his yard, the little maids chattered and saluted, and surrounded Xue Pan, changed the clothes outside, and put on clean and comfortable robes and cloud boots. The maid Yang Zhi came up with the tea, and smiled at Xue Pan, "Congratulations to the uncle on returning home, drink tea first to moisten your throat, and then Mrs. will pass on the play." ”

Xue Pan looked at Yang Zhi and deliberately picked a thorn, "This time I ate wine and my mouth is dry, and I can't drink tea." ”

"I know that the uncle has drunk wine, this is plum soup," Yang Zhi had already prepared Xue Pan's thorns, and said with a smile, "Sweet and sour hangover." ”
