Yang Zhi used a lot of courage to say this, but unfortunately Xue Pan didn't move at all, she turned around and saw that Xue Pan had fallen asleep, Yang Zhi was half angry, put the teapot gently on the table, stomped out of the door, beckoned the mother-in-law who was guarding the door outside to cover the door, and instructed the mother-in-law who was watching the stove under the corridor, "What did you drink tonight?" ”

"It's white fungus soup tonight," replied the mother-in-law, "and it's already boiled in the silver pick, and it will be ready in half an hour, and when the time comes, the girl won't have to worry about it, and the uncle won't be able to delay the soup." ”

Yang Zhi is now the head of Xue Pan's yard, and she takes care of all the food and daily life, so the mother-in-law also has to be careful with thirteen points, Yang Zhi puffed up and wanted to say that there was no need to prepare for Xue Pan How could a person who slept like a dead pig drink any soup, but in a blink of an eye, he didn't have to, and ordered: "Watch the stove carefully, I'll go out first." ”

Yang Zhi instructed a few girls, looked at the tea carefully, and then went out of the courtyard gate, at this time the people outside had not dispersed, she went straight to the outer study, Zhen'er was really still here, she called out: "Zhen'er, you come here, I'll ask you." ”

"Sister Yang Zhi, how can she be free today?" Zhen'er said with a hippie smile, "Is it difficult for uncle not to pester my sister?" ”

Yang Zhi took a sip, "The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, and then talk nonsense, look at my wife, let my wife reward you with a board, let me ask you, last year the uncle went to Yangzhou, did you know the girl of the Lin family?" ”

"Yes," Zhen'er replied, "Uncle and Miss Lin get along very well, and our girl is about the same, when I came back that day, I still accompanied Miss Lin to Pingshan Hall to play a little bit, and then I went home, and because I was afraid that Miss Lin would be sad when she left, I left quietly." ”

Yang Zhi was thoughtful, and Zhen'er said strangely: "What is my sister asking for?" Uncle and Miss Lin used to be good, but there was no correspondence these days, but they were together at that time, so they were more intimate. ”

Yang Zhi stomped his feet, "What do you know?" Don't talk too much! ”

Yang Zhi turned to leave, Zhen'er was a little confused, "This woman's heart is really a needle under the sea, and what the brothers outside said is not bad, what does she mean by this?" Hey, there are many people who think the girl's family is good, but I don't think at all. ”

Yang Zhi returned to Xue Pan's courtyard, but saw the courtyard door wide open, and the mother-in-law who guarded the door came out and said, "Uncle went out, saying that there was something going on outside." ”

"I'm asleep this time," Yang Zhi was originally a little bored, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, "What else does it matter?" ”

"Who knows?" The mother-in-law who guarded the door smiled, "There are many things about the uncle, and only the girl knows about it." ”

I don't know the class, Yang Zhi thought silently, "Then the uncle left the door, remember to light the glass lamp, it's dark outside, the road is not easy to walk," she said again, "Tell Zhen'er to send it back." ”

When Xue Pan arrived outside, he saw Tong Shu going and returning, as soon as he saw Xue Pan, he couldn't help but be anxious, "Brother Wenlong, the big thing is not good, something has gone wrong in Hexi!" ”

"What's wrong?" Xue Pan yawned lazily, "What can happen over there, with the big mansion taking care of it?" ”

Hexi refers to the west of the Qinhuai River, the east of the Yangtze River, Banqiao and Dashengguan, because it is west of the Qinhuai River, so it is named Hexi, Xue Pan disagreed, but Tong Shu was anxious about what to become, pacing back and forth eagerly in the flower hall, "It's a big fork!" Dead! ”

Xue Pan was suddenly drenched in cold sweat, and he woke up more than half of the wine, "What? Dead? ”

Originally very peaceful and quiet Xue Mansion in the middle of the night suddenly chickens and dogs jumped up, after nightfall the Admiral's Mansion has closed the door, the corner doors on both sides have been slightly closed, at this time suddenly the lights are bright, the figure is full, after a while the corner door is wide open, out of a green oil cloth glass-topped carriage, on both sides of the horse and walking servants in a row, ready to wait in line outside the corner gate, after a while, Xue Pan hurriedly walked out, he still changed a set of clothes, and approved a cyan cloak outside, As he walked, he said to Steward Zhang, "You don't have to tell your wife at night, there is a small matter in Hexi, I will deal with it, I will not go back today, I will return tomorrow morning." ”

Steward Zhang was very worried, "Uncle is even more exposed this night, and it is dark and difficult to walk, what is the matter, why don't you wait until tomorrow?" ”

"I'll take a look first," Xue Pan waved his hand, "At home, I don't know any news, and it's not always a way to sit and wait." ”

Xue Pan finished speaking, so he got into the carriage with Tong Shu, Zhen'er jumped into the carriage and set off with the coachman Ma Sanhao, Yin Tianzheng rode a horse to guard on the side, so he set off with his family, Tong Shu was very embarrassed, sat in the carriage and said apologetically to Xue Pan, "It's really my people who are careless, and they mess up this matter." ”

"I can't blame you, this matter is not easy to do," Xue Pan sighed slightly, "Although Dafu gave me a bun to eat, but in this bun, there is meat, vegetables, and sand, which is not so delicious, and the land in Hexi is difficult to do. ”

"But the land occupied by these people is by no means their own, and the title deed is in the hands of the imperial court, which is no problem, they have reclaimed it, could it be them? In this way, Bai Shengsheng has occupied many days, and he has already made a lot of money, but he is not satisfied, and he wants more, which is really not enough to swallow the elephant! Tong Shu was very indignant, this matter was originally reasonable and there were laws to follow, but he never thought that such a thing would happen.

In order to repay Xue Pan's great kindness, the prefect of Jinling deliberately found out a piece of river beach at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the Qinhuai River in Hexi, which was leased to Xue Pan for 50 years, and the rent was very low. It costs a lot, but after investigation and research, Xue Pan believes that it is very useful to build a wharf to weave salt and so on for his family's cloth, and you must know that although the Xue family has a lot of ships and fleets, there is no wharf unique to his own family.
